tM?m inmw ? Lifestyle Sunday at the Creek The Allman Brothers Band jammed to an enthusiastic crowd Sunday. Look for the write-up in Thursday's paper. The East Carolinian Vol. 67 No. 4 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Tuesday, September 8,1992 10 Pages ECU receives grant to study oil drilling By Tracy Ford Staff Writer ECU received a $795,000 grant to study the socio-economic effects of exploratory drilling off the coast of North Carolina. The study, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior, will investigate the effects of drilling on the economy and people of the coast. The Virginia Institute of Marine Biology is also conducting a complementary biological study to complete the report. Once the Department of Interior receives the information from both studies, it will con- sider Mobil Oil Corporation's request to drill on its lease 45 miles off the coast on an area of the outercontinental shelf. According to Bill Queen, director of Inter- coastal Marine Resources, two problems may result from off-shore drilling. "One is the leakage of oil that may do harm to the natural environment he said. "A second concern, if oil is found and you go from an exploratory level of effort to a production level of effort, large numbers of people would move into the area. With a lot of outsiders moving in, you would totally change the nature of these communities East Carolina's research will address the second concern of rapid growth in the coastal communities between Norfolk, Va to just south of the Atlantic Beach area. "It's going to be one of the most compre- hensive investigations of the area that's ever been done said John Maiolo, a researcher with the ECU Institute for Coastal Marine Recourses. "I live in the coastal zone and every piece of information that comes out has a bearing on me "With 40 or so years of national and inter- national experience in drilling in off-shore wa- ters, a lot of information has been collected about the way off shore communities develop Queen said. "And then how at the end of production the communities decline According to Queen, the federal govern- ment, with the right information, could prevent or minimize thedisruptions off shoredrillingcan cause on both ends. "One of the purposes of the study is to identify concerns and then to develop methods to keep that concern from becominga reali ty or to See Oil, page 2 Pump it up Photo by Biff Ranson ? 77?

Students charged with computer theft By Jeff Becker New Editor ECU Public Safety offic- ers arrested three students Thursday and charged them with running a computer theft ring that netted $41,000 in equipmentduringthelastyear. The three students ? Athena Iris Wuensch, 21, of 822 College View Apartments; Douglas Earl Hale, 23, of 920 College View Apartments; and George Lewis Eberle Jr 26, of 902 College View Apartments, were charged with the theft of computers from labs on cam- pus and a Greenville business. "We have experienced a large number of thefts over a one-year period or longer said James DePuy, ECU's director of Public Safety. "They are an organized theft ring that we are bringing to a conclusion here Public Safety Lt. Keith Knox said $10,964 worth of equipment was recovered, in- cluding an assortment of IBM and Macintosh computer parts and a Hewlett-Packard printer. Knox said that from Oct. 14,1991, to Aug. 24,1992, seven thefts were reported from ECU labs. He said a total of $41,000 in equipment was stolen, and all the thefts had similar cir- cumstances. "The students were ex- employees in the labs, and one had just been hired back for the fall Knox said. Weunsch is charged with one count of breaking, entering and larceny and three counts of possession of stolen goods. Hales faces three charges of breaking, entering and larceny, and Eberle faces two counts of breaking, entering and larceny. All were released on a $15,000 bond. Officials say smokers will follow ban By Joe Horst Staff Writer Although ECU's new Clean Air Policy started Sep. 1, enforce ment of the smoking ban in uni- versity buildings remains a politi- cal hot potato in the administra- tion. During thesummer, the ECU Board of Trustees approved a reso- lution banning all smoking within all campus buildings that are ei- ther poorly ventilated or not ven- tilated at all, with the exception of the residence halls. At the time of the policy's enactment, SGA President Courtney Jones dissented, along with Trustee William Furr, citing the overbreadth of the resolution. "They want to put a smok- ing area where it can go but there are no regulations Jones said. "There's not even a penalty for those who ignore the policy Administrators at ECU are in concurrence with the belief that most individuals will follow the new policy. Richard Brown, vice-chan- cellorofbusinessaffairs,said most people respect the rights of non- smokers. "We hope that all individu- als will courteously and responsi- bly adhere to this policy Brown said. "For the most part, people have been sensitive to non-smok- ers' rights. I really don't think it will become a problem Although officials may be- lieve that most people will not fla- grantlydisobev the policy, theques- tionstillremainsas to possible sanc- tions ag.iinst those vv ho do. Enforcement of the new policy is handled under the gen- eral rule stated in the code of con- duct in the 1992 Student Handbook, ? which states, "A student shall re- frain from any violation of a uni- versity policy, city ordinances and state or federal laws Smoking in a designated non-smoking area is then covered only in "university policy be- cause of the lack of any city ordi- nances covering that offense. Greenville Chief of Police Charles Hinman stated that the police have no policy or proce- dure to handle this offense. "We've had no complaints or action against anyone for smok- ing in a non-smoking area Hinman said. Along with the city police, neither theCounty Health Depart- ment nor the Fire Deparrmenthave any restrictions on their books re- garding smoking bans. "Enforcement of smoking in a non-smoking area is up to the management of that area said Fire Chief Raymond Carney. Sanctions against students who refuse to put out a cigarette in a designated non-smoking area also fall under the general rule of disciplinary offenses. The Student Handbook, states "These rules . . . prescribe certain behavior which is harmful to the orderly opera- tion of the institution and the pur- suit of its legitimate goals Sanctionscan include a writ- ten reprimand, a fine of no less than $10 or more than $250, the takingofthestudent'sactivitycard for a specified period of time and possible suspension or expulsion. Sanctions against state em- ployees that disobey the new policy run in a moreorderly direc- tion. According to Brown, state employeeoffenders will follow the hierarchy of their individual de- partment. "They would go through the chain-of-command in theirdepart- ment and, if necessary, on up through the administration Brown said. EnforcementoftheCleanAir policy falls into a large grey area in the university regulations, and seems to be left up to the indi- vidual smoker to respect non- smokers' rights. Tailgating Former student sentenced to 15 years for sex crimes Molester also faces charges inTarboro and Statesville By Warren Sumner Staff Writer Photo by Biff Ranson ? Tha East Carolinian Students tailgate before the ECU-Syracuse game Saturday night. A record setting 36,500 fans filled Ficklen Stadium to watch the Pirates battle the Orangemen. A former ECU student and church or- ganist pleaded guilty Thursday in Pitt County Superior Court to sexual offenses involving three children. Dennis Keith Daniel, 26, pleaded guilty to three counts of taking indecent liberties with three teen-age boys during the sum- mer of 1991. Judge G.K. Butterfield sentenced Daniel to fifteen years in prison, 10 years of which were suspended. Butterfield also ordered Daniel to seek sexual offender counseling, along with other conditions of probation. Daniel, formerly a music major at ECU, and an organist at First Baptist Church in Tarboro, could have received 30 years in prison. He originally was charged with 12 felonv sexual offenses. Edward Turnage, a former roommate of Daniel, said he was initially shocked upon hearing of Daniel's arrest. "Dennis is definitely not a monster Turnage said. "He's the type of person who would give you his last dollar, if you needed it Turnage said he knew Daniel was in- voked with pornographic material but had no knowledge of "the other items" relating to Daniel's conviction. Two of the adolescents victimized by Daniel were employed by him as groundskeepers at Carriage House Apart- ments. According to Turnage, the boys would come into the apartment during breaks to view pornagraphic films. Daniel faces other charges in Tarboro and Statesville, said Detective Larry Parker ot the Pitt County Sheriff's Department, One of these charges involves alleged molestation of a 14-year-old girl. mtw 2 The East Carolinian SEPTEMBER 8, 1992 Continued from page 1 Student beaten to death Eight men have been arrested on second-degree murder charges in the beating death of a 19-year-old University of Miami pre-med student. Luven Phan Nguyen went into a coma and died after receiving repeated blows to his head. Nguyen was chased, kicked and beaten by as many as 15 young men after he objected to slurs about his nationality at a party. Prosecutors also will consider pursuing hate crime charges against all of the men arrested. College offers paid internship Carthage College is offering a new, paid internship to all students who complete four semesters of Japanese language study. The paid internship in Japan is the only one offered in the United States. Irene Kraemer, dean of modern languages at the college said the goal of the Japanese program is to immerse students in the culture. Kraemer said the program does not require students to be fluent in the language, just "to be able to function in Japanese Hurricane closes schools Hurricane Andrew forced the cancellation of classes at many Florida universities, including Florida International University. Uprooted trees were seen across the entire Florida International University campus, and the windows of many buildings were knocked out by the force of the hurricane. An official at F1U in south Miami said the school was without power and he did not know when it would be restored. However, the Florida Power and Light Company said some areas of the state could be without electricity for weeks. Professors create election video Two video-toting professors from Ball State University are patrolling the political conventions in search of footage soon to be seen in thousands of college classrooms. Ralph Baker and Joe Losco are producing two videos that will accompany two best- selling political science textbooks. Oneof the two videos will focus on the 1992 campaign, and the other will focus on the role of party politics in the race for the White House. Losco said the tapes will be effective because today's college students are part of a "visual generation Compiled by Elizabeth Shimmel. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers.

The study will also examine how exploratory drilling on the outer continental shelf effects in- dustries along the coast, such as tourism and fishing. According to Queen, the residents are con- cerned about the changes this could bring to the coast. "Thev are afraid if a lot of development occurs it will dimin- ish the attractiveness of coastal North Carolina as an area of tour- ism Queen said. Tim Sullivan, regional su- pervisor for the Department of the interior's Minerals Management Service, told The Daily Reflector that the study, which started with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Outer Banks Protection Act, asked the Secretary of the Interior to form an environmental sciences review panel.

The dean of North Carolina's congres- sional delegation, Walter B. Jones, was fighting for his life after sev- eral vital organs began failing, an aide says. "The congressman's condi- tion has worsened and is now con- sidered grave said Nancy Fish, Jones' Washington press aide. "Several of his vital organs are now failing Jones, 79, who has repre- sented North Carolina's 1st Dis- trict for 12 terms, has been at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital since Aug. 25. Earlier that day, Jones com- plained of difficulty breathing at his Nags Head, N.C summer home. A doctor at the Outer Banks Medical Center said Jones ap- peared to have pneumonia, and a Coast Guard helicopter was called to take Jones to Sentara Norfolk General. Jones seemed to be improv- ing last week. His wife, Elizabeth Fischer Jones, and his son, state Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr both had said the congressman would be transferred to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington to recuperate. But fluids continued to accu- mulate in his lungs, said Dr. Julie Leafe Damman. Jones' formal residence and political base is in Farmville in Pitt County. For more than 25 years, he represented the old 1st Con- gressional District, which covered most of northeastern North Caro- lina. After winning an interim election in 1966, Jones won 12 U.S. House terms?often winning with 60 percent ralities. But this year, the 1st District was re-drawn to create an area where the majority of voters are black. Part of the former 1st Dis- trict, including most of the Outer Banks and Currituck and Camden counties, became part of the 3rd Congressional District. Jones said, "Many of my old friend will no longer be able to vote for me ' and decided not to seek re-election. He backed his son to win the new 1st District Democratic pri- mary in May. But the younger Jones was defeated in a second primary by Eva Clayton, a Warren County commissioner. NATIONAL Man shoots neighbor for trespassing NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? A man shot and killed his neighbor when the neighbor cut beyond his property line with a lawn edger, police said. Alfred Abadie, 37, was booked for murder Friday in the slaying of Curt King, 42. Investigators said Abadie took refuge in his house before surrendering to a SWAT team. Police said Abadie started a fight when King cut about three inches onto Abadie's property with the lawn edger, then shot King three times. It wasn't immediately known whether the men had feuded before. Crowd gathers, hopes to see Virgin Mary MARLBORO TOWNSHIP, N.J.

Harris was among a number of White House visitors invited to be in the audience.

Catherine Wickern, a professor in the department of communication, had some major communication prob- lems with the chair of the department of communication, Dr. Harrell Alien. The ironic element in Wickern's story is that in January she filed a formal inquiry with the university concerning sexual discrimination with regards to her salary. Allen allegedly told Wickem that she could wait to sign her contracts until after July 31 when the N.C. gen- eral assembly voted on pay raises for state employees. So while Wickern waited for the legislature to pass, her job went out the window. Dr. Allen GEORGE'S IVORY TOWER denies ever saying that Wickern could wait. Once again the campus is plagued with unanswered questions that may remain covered. This question now falls in the laps of Allen and Wickern. Who is lying? Fortunately or unfortunately, we will never know because the great big wheels of the machinery that is ECU will clog, twist and hide any and all relevant information. Wickern is now teaching at Georgia Southern, so the debate will rest. However, women on average earn $6,787 less than men at ECU. Any women feel comfortable with that? By George Sartiano Overpopulation felt on ECU campus Last year when I trans- ferred to ECU, I found the cam- pus to be a very nice, beautiful and relaxing place to be. The grounds were always clean and well kept, and although there were 15 or so thousand stu- dents on campus, it never seemed to be crowded. My experience so far has been different. As many of us know, there has been a serious lack of space off campus, as well as a shortage of on-campus housing. The result is that many people have been forced to com- mute to campus. The increased number of people having to drive to campus has only am- plified the parking problem which has been plaguing ECU for the last few years. Even with freshmen having to park out by Minges in the freshman lot, there are still too few spaces to accommodate all of the commuting students. You know that there is a park- ing problem when professors are showing up late to class because they cannot find a place to park. In any case, that's not my gripe, for I have found a place to park off-campus, even though I have to walk for a few extra minutes to get to class. In any case, attrition will begin to set in a few weeks, and people will begin dropping out of class. For those of us who choose to stay in school for the duration (oh yes, we the lucky few), we will be able to park closer and closer to campus each week. To use an example, last semester I began by park- ing out across from the old Rose High School building. About halfway through the semester I was able to park along the road which runs down from The Hill, and by the end of the semester I was able to park in any loca- tion on campus which was not off limits to a commuter- stickered car. This year seems a little dif- ferent from last in that every- thing seems much more crowded. It seems to be a lot like New York City; if you want to do something you have to hustle to get there or you won't make it. The movies are all full; the line for Basic Instinct reached all the way outside of Mendenhall. There seems to have been a change in the gen- eral attitude which pervades our fine campus. Last year the campus was a much more relaxed place to visit. Now it seems to be hur- ried and pressured. Maybe this has something to do with the larger number of people here. I erhaps ECU has already found the happy medium for the num- ber of students it should have enrolled here, and it has finally exceeded it. It could be that the admissions committee just let too many people in this year, and ECU's facilities just can't handle the increased number of students. It might be the fact that our football team won the Peach Bowl last year, and ev- eryone on campus has picked up that "I'm better than you" attitude from it. Maybe it has something to do with this year's crop of freshmen, many of them having applied here after hear- ing about our football team. Whatever the reason, many things about this year are dif- ferent from last, and in general, the university seems different. I'm not really sure that I like some of the nev feelings float- ing around the campus, but it may still be too early in the se- mester to be able to pass any real kind of judgment on it yet. In any case, our school is a really nice place to be, and we should afford it the respect which we give to our football team. Not that many of us will, the students here have their priorities set up aspartyingand football are first and everything else comes after. Now, don't take me wrong, I am very proud of the football team, but as I am not on the team, I don't'take all of the credit for their accomplish- ments. But, as more zr.d more people turn their collective at- tention away from schoolwork and towards football and par- tying (and as people begin to cut or drop classes) the number of people parking on campus will'grow smaller and smaller, and I will soon be able to park closer and closer to campus. So, all I can say is, Go Pi- rates! Wolfbane The East Carolinian James R. Knisely, General Manager Jennifer A. Wardrep, Managing Editor Arthur A.

Amos 300 watts of power may cause deafness In the distance rolling thun- der announces their approach. As they come closer the thunder trans- forms itself into a rich BOOM- BOOM-BOOM, BOOM-BOOM- BOOM. By the time they reach you, the air is shaking and the ground trembles. You all have seen them. They perch in parking lots such as the one behind Sharky's, the Plaza or Carolina East Mall, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They roar down Fifth and Charles streets at all hours. You never know when one will show up next, but you can count on it being sooner than later. They usually are males 18 to 25 years old. They drive mini- trucks that have been lowered so much that the trucks, usually found in the brightest colors pos- sible with matching camper-shell barely clear the ground. Also they have been known to drive 1ROC Camaros, Firebirds, CRXs, Escort GTsand comparable vehicles. The cars usually will be garnished with liberal amounts of Oakley: Ther- mal Nuclear Protection, Bodyglove, Wave Riding Vehicles and other sundrys decals. No matter what they drive they all share a love of loud music. To satisfy their cravings for tuneage, they often have spent thousands of dollars on their car's stereo. They buy Multi-CD play- ers, amplifiers that produce hun- dreds of watts per channel, 15- inch woofers and bazooka tubes. All to satisfy their need BASS fix. It all starts out innocently enough, they save their money and buyaCDplayer, but the sales- people tel 1 them that they can't get the maximum sound quality un- less they have at least a hundred watt amp to drive it. This leads to the necessity to have speakers that can handle all that power, and if you are going to spend that much money you might as well go all out and buy the bazooka tubes. Spending vast amounts of money on their mobile stereos, they then must protect that invest- ment. They do this with equally expensive alarm systems. These are impressive in themselves, it probably helps that the alarms make noise also. Some alarm sys- tems cause horns to blow and lights to flash, but the more com- plex systems announce warnings like "Protected by Viper. You are standing too close to thecar. Stand back It'sa vicious self-feeding cycle. They must continue to spend more and more to feed the tuneage ad- diction. Al 1 of these technological won- ders can cause hearing loss, and you can't help but wonder if they don't cause brain damage as well. At best you have to question the mental faculties of people who spend so much money on transi- tory experiences. But the question that plagues me the most is why must those "thunder boomers" subject the rest of us to this auditory assault. There must be some law of mathemati- cal ratio that explains the fact that the more annoying you find their music, the louder they will play it. I understand why these young men worship the gods ot stereo. Music is wonderful; I love to listen to it. But why must they play it so loud? It must be for the attention- getting factor. They're really screaming "pay some attention to me Could these gentlemen feel inadequate? It makes me long for the days when men that felt inad- equate went to the gym and pumped themselves up, not their stereos. But then again, we are living in the age of technology. Those of us who don't have to listen to music constantly at con- cert level sound do, on occasion, get some amusement from the "thunder boomers If a "thunder boomer" happens to be reading this, remember we're laughing at you, not with you. The look of terror in their eyes when a police officer is writing them a ticket for excessive noise is a joyous sight for us thatmustendure their earth- shaking bass. One of the funniest things I have ever seen, involving one of those mini-trucks, was one mat had been chopped so low that it got stuck on a speed bump while trying to cross. Boy, was the "thun- der boomer" mad, but he shouldn't have lowered his truck so much. As I wipe the blood from my ears after one of their auditory assaults, the thing that brings me the most amount of pleasure is knowing they will one day be deaf. If we aren't unlucky enough to be driven to deafness by the "thun- der boomers then we will be able to laugh at those wearing hearing aids due to their own stupidity. If we consider the amount of money these "thunder boomers" spend on devices that make un- necessary noise, than the amounts that they will be willing to spend on their hearing should be stag- gering. Maybe they will miss the good old days, and put alarm sys- tem on their hearing aids. It's not like they will be able to hear any- one sneaking up on them. These hearing aid companies should begin researching how to provide that BOOM-BOOM- BOOM sound for a new genera- tion. Maybe the companies will come out with a new neon colored line, or maybe some gold chain accessories for the hearing aids. Of course, no one wants to have a nation of deaf people. So all you "thunder boomers please turn the music down. If you won't do it for us innocent bystanders, men do it for yourself. Remember the adage "If it's too loud, you're too old" is a myth, and too loud can hurt you. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Junior feels Bush is responsible for problems To the Editor: George Bush is a scapegoat for the failings of the Democratic Congress. After all, he's only the President. He cannot possibly be expected to absorb blame for the sorry economic state we're in. At least that's what The East Carolinian's favorite right-wing propagandist, . William Walker, would have you believe. Lately, Mr. Bush has been fa- vorably comparing himself to Harry Truman. Truman had a sign on his desk. It read, "The buck stops here Mr. Bush has a simi- lar sign on his desk. It says, "The buck stops somewhere else, any- where else, after all what can one man do?" If Bush is in fact the great leader he proclaims to be, why does he point fingers at everyone but himself and his own fiscal policies? He wants us to vote for him because he's a strong leader. Strong leaders don't blame Con- gress. The blame lies at the heart of the supply-side economic theory advanced by Reagan BushQuayle the past 12 years. Trickle-down economics, not Con- gress, is "the root of all evil Bush is now foolishly calling for a tax cut in the face of a $400 billion deficit. He will say and do anything to get re-elected. He said as much himself. Voters, beware! Don't be taken in by Bush's super- cilious charges against Congress. Remember the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me Hopefully voters won't shame themselves this November. David Pettus junior ? mm mwmwi wii?wv f9 i.im minim I- " ?. ? ll?

Matthews is a junior at ECU. Originally from Harolds, N.C he moved to Kinston shortly after his senioryearof high school. Jason performs only his own music, which is entirely original. "Jason is real. His music is who he is and his music can touch a part of everyone's soul Beth Gardner said after she enjoyed the show. Someone once said that a musician is great only if he or she could make the instrument cry. Matthews proved he possesses this talent with the touching ballad "Fairytale "Life ain't no fairytale, and I can't be your perfect prince proclaim the lyrics. Matthews also stormed the stage with his upbeat song "Dig the Knife in Deeper At the introduction, Matthews referred to the song as a revenge song. The lyrics speak for themselves, such as the line, "like a snake in the grass you shake your ass and spit your venom "I think the point I'd like to get to in my music is to give somebody a piece of wisdom to take with them said Matthews. "If I can touch somebody through my life, some- thing that has happened to me or that I knew about, then I have done my job Matthews opened his performance with the three words "This is great Although he was referring to the large turnout, his words reflected the entire performance. His smile is as sincere as his songs. Matthews will be performing again a tThe Fizz Saturday, Sep. 12. Photo by Dail Read ? Th? East Carolinian ECU junior Jason Matthews performed his original music to an enthusiastic crowd at The Fizz Wednesday night. He will return Sept. 12. Boys II Men rock with Hammer By George Sartiano Staff Writer Showmanship. One word is all that is needed to describe Hammer's concert at Walnut Creek Sept. 5. He proved once again that he's more than able to get a crowd's at- tention and keep it. Neither of his opening acts lacked in the area of showman- ship. Both TLC and Boyz II Men ably played their roles in an energetic fash- ion. Boyz II Men did a particularly good job with the live renditions of their songs sounding even better than the album versions. Their harmonies were superb, and kept the crowd cheering. Hammer's performance was more show than concert, but nonetheless extremely enjoyable. The entire spectacle was too large to absorb at once; if you watched one part of the stage for too long, you were sure to miss something going on else- where. Hammer's mixture of dancing, lights and music was packed with en- ergy. The crowd, constantly moving The entire spectacle was too large to absorb at once; if you watched one part of the stage for too long, you were sure to miss something going on elsewhere. and dancing, was caught up in the energy pouring off the stage. One highlight of the show came during the "Pray" sequence, when Hammer made his way into the nearly insane crowd. The con- cert was not withoutcome- dic moments either. During "You Can't Touch This a man was taken out of the audience and allowed to dance with Hammer and his dancers. Although this was probably prear- ranged, it was extremely amusing. During the final song, "Too Legil To Quit a water fight was started stage. It began with only a few of Hammer's dancers, but soon Boyz II Men and TLC joined in. Scon, everyone on stage was soaked; and dancers were slipping and sliding. The crowi as well as the dancers, had a blast wi this lighthearted playfulness. Hammer's high-energy show was loud and exciting. He is an excellent showman, and able to entertaina crowd in whatever way he wishes. Hammer, Boyz II Men and TLC all joined in the finale and then walked off stage escorted by cheers and screams. The crowd seemed thirsty for more. Water' encompasses roots of rock with debut By Stacy Peterson Staff Writer "I always wanted to be a teacher, but my mother told me I should also be a musician so I would have something to fall back on laughs Steve Moos, a junior-high school teacher and leader of the musical group Jump in the Water. Jump in the Water has a sound that is basically a naturalistic folk- blues-acoustic and sometimes elec- tric guitar and mandolin sound. The music reminds one of John Hiatt as if he was performing with Woody Guthrie. and guitar- istboyhood friend Kent Forsyth. Moos and Forsyth started play- ing together This fresh and unique sound caught the attention of MCA records, and the band was signed.

I think we all had a horror of being described as main- stream lead singer Sinjin of the group, Pleasure Thieves, explained in a press release. And mainstream they are not. The group's first album, Simple Escape, illustrates their individual- ity. The music is a well-balanced mix of guitar, drums, strings and horns combined with compelling and provocative lyrics. The result is a sound that transcends the ordi- na ry and sways towa rd the a I tema- tive. This is no wonder, considering the five-man band's influences, which indudeThe Waterboys, Vel- vet Underground and The Jam. Add to this the varied backgrounds of the group members and the fin- ished product is a distinctive and different musical experience. Itall began when Sinjin moved from New York to California in 1982. There, he met d ru mmer Andy GuiterrezandbassistNickFawcett. They started a band called "Autho- rized Personnel which was a short-lived ensemble that split up in 1986. But determined not to give up, theperseverentsingerSinjin placed an ad in a Los Angeles music maga- zine in hopes of finding a lead gui- t a r i s t . Irishman Desmond McClean re- s po nd ed. Then they dis- covered keyboardist Matt Everitt. Guitterez and Fawcett re- sumed their positions, and Pleasure Thieves be- came a musi- cal reality. After landing a con- tract with Hol- ly w o o d Records and gaining Julian Raymond and Steve Madaio as producers, Pleasure Thieves released Simple Escape. The string and horn accom- paniments that appear regularly throughout the debut have an un- usual and imaginativeeffect, attrib- uting a definitive and melodic aura to the music. "You Make Me Feel Right On one of the 11 tracks on the new release, is a slow and melancholy song that could easily be classified as a ballad. The appearance of the strings in this song creates an atmo- Continued from page 7 Photo courtesy Hollywood Records The Pleasure Thieves provides listeners with a Simple Escape in the group's debut album. sphere of tranquility and satisfac- tion, plus a touch of romance. A shift from this low gear to a higher, more energetic one is a fre- quentoccurrence in songs like "Wild Miracle This track is a purely up- beat n x of carefree and uninhib- ited antics. The powerful guitar licks, coup led with the rhythmic bass and drums, producea creation thatover- flows with unbridled emotion. The Pleasure Thieves have suc- ceeded in creating a simple escape. Also joining Forsy th and Moos is multi-instrumentalist David Stams, a professor of English lit- erature at LSU, and veteran ses- sion drummer Ian Wallace who has played with Bob Dylan, among others. Jump in the Water was pro- duced by Jim Cregan, who has co- written with Rod Stewart and has worked with everyone from soul- singer Linda Lewis to British rock- ers London Quireboys. Although much different from Moos' and Forsyths' punk rock beginnings, Jump in the Water, with the help of Cregan, does share that idiom's do-it-yourself, back to the basics, post-modem phi- losophy. The music of Jump in the Wa- ter isanamalgamof Van Morrison and Cole Porter, Lennon McCartney and LieberStoller, Mick Jagger and Robert Johnson. With all of these influences. Moos' songs are both autobio- graphical and third person narra- tives with strong harmony and melody?often derived from tra- ditional folk tunes. Moos insists that the lead-off track, "Illusions Of Love was written "as if it were a Go-Go's tune beingsungby Buddy Holly while "Take Me To The Junkyard (Whiskey Johnny)" is based on an old Irish drinking tune once cov- ered by poet Carl Sandberg. "One of the criteria of this record was we wouldn't do some- thing if we couldn't perform it live said Moos. This statement is quite original itself considering today's musical standards. One of the most impressive features of the record, besides Forysth playing"slidemandolin are the lyrics. All of the songs on the record seem to tell a story vary- ing from wide-screen epics to Dylanesque irony, to mocking, sar- donic refrains. For example, from the song "Half The Story "The judge said, son thank the Lord You'll get all the justice you can afford Although not completely original, Jump in the Water's mu- sic does a great job of encompass- ing the roots of rock'n'roll from the Mississippi Delta to the back alleys of New Orleans, from the folk clubs of New York, to the bluegrass jigs of Ireland. With strong rhythms buoyed in a rushing river of acoustic gui- tar and mandolin, Jump in the Wa- ter is an inventive way to listen to the past through the ears of the future. "Making this record was one of the goals I had in the back of my mind,butIsortofknewitwouldn't happen until I gave up on it, like Zen says Moos.

Having seen the total arsenal of Head Coach Steve Logan, the "real Pirate faithfuls" stayed until the end of a 42-21 loss to the na- tions ninth ranked team. ECU dipped into their bag of tricks for a botched fake punt and three attempted onside kicks, one of which was recovered. This along with Jerry Dillon breaking his finger and a total inability to stop the Syracuse ground game contributed to the thrashing Syra- cuse put on the Bucs. The only encouragement Pi- rate fans could carry with them out of Ficklen was the high-octane offense. Sophomore Michael Anderson, in only his fifth colle- giate game, led the aerial assault mat totaled a school record 521 yards in the air. Anderson, the Independent Football Association's offensive player of the week, and Sean Mc- Connell also combined for 77 pass attempts ? foirr short of the NCAA record set by the Houston Cougars on Oct. 20,1990 against Southern Methodist. "We decided early on that there would be no bullets left in our cartridge" Logan said. "We threw everything we had at them, and if they're ranked 10th then I know we can compete with any team in the nation With many contributing ele- ments during the contest, one of the key factors was the onside kick. "The biggest play was after we recovered our onside kick Logan said. "We recovered the onside kick and then on the 3rd down and 12 play, they sacked us from behind and the ball came out. They recovered it and went down and answered our touch- down going into the second half Despite the loss, Logan was pleased with the total team effort and had strong words of support for his troops. "In the context of the football game, our defense played really well. Asidafromacouple of plays, they did what was pretty much expected of mem" Logan said. "I'm really excited about what I saw. I think it's going to be a fun, fun thing to watch us play foot- ball Even with a fair showing against Syracuse, the area of con- cern remains on the offense. With major opportunities to put points on the score board, the offense stalled and gave the Orangemen additional chances to attack and score almost at will. "We had three opportunities - with the ball on the 12,18, and 25 yard line and did not cash in Logan said. "That's it right there because they were taking advan- tage of their opportunities and I knew when they had the opportu- nity their kids would make the play Logan said. As easily as the Pirate offense chewed up the Orangemen pass defense, the opportunity to score were present but were not taken advantage of. "As you saw, I don't mink there's any football team in the country mat can consume a foot- ball field faster than we can Lo- gan said. "We get rolling and it can be scary. It scares me just watching them on the sideline. We get down the football field and put points on the board faster than anybody in the country, so we're never really out of the game Logan said. Unfortunately, dropped passes, errant throws and key situ- ational turnovers led to the demise of the Pirates. Always within striking dis- tance, ECU remained in the contest up until the final two minutes. With Virginia Tech waiting in the wings, senior signal caller Sean McConnell made it clear that this Pirate air attack will make heads spin. Oaf feyville proves to be a welkpring of talent The game at a glance By Warren Sumner Staff Writer It must be something in the water. There is some unknown characteristic about Cof- feyville, Kan. and its junior collegethatbrings fast football players to Division I football. Especially to East Carolina. Emerging from the same wellspring as 1991 Pirate sensation Dion Johnson is junior- transfer Morris Letcher and line backer Tony Davis. Letcher, like Johnson, is a five-foot- nine-inch, 165-pound bundle of blazing speed, also prepared for his entrance into East Carolina football at Dion's old "stomp- ing grounds Coffeyville Community Col- lege. According to Coffeyville coach Skip Fos- ter, it was apparent by Letcher's play mat he was ready to move into Division I level football. "Morris caught two touchdown passes in our Division II national champi- onship game last year Foster said. "We could move Morris around wherever we needed him, he played at slotback and split receiver Foster believes that while Dion John- son was a marquee player at ECU, Letcher has distinct advantages over him in natural talent. Not only is Letcher slightly faster, according to Foster, he is a better all around athlete with "more wiggle In ECU's 42-21 loss to Syracuse on Sat- urday, Letcher had nine receptions for 109 yards, one resulting in a touchdown. With his outstanding speed and natural show- manship, Letcher has the ability to electrify the Pirate fans like noone since, well, Dion Johnson. Letcher shrugs off comparisons to his Coffeyville predecessor, and is quite confi- dent in his ability to become the Pirates' all- around man.

Cincinnati, Memphis State, Southern Mississippi, Tulsa and East Carolina make up the alliance. The main purpose of the alliance is home-and-home football scheduling and increased recognition for the players at each university. The schools involved will begin play- ing each other on a home-and-home basis by the 1993 season if at all possible. In addition, the alliance will establish weekly statistics, power ratings and individual awards throughout the sea- son. In 1992, ECU will play Cincinnati, Memphis State and Southern Missis- sippi. Tulsa comes on the Pirate sched- ule in 1993. ECU's sophomore quarterback Michael Anderson was named the IFA Offensive Player of the week.

Don't go to the dic- tionary to find the meaning of "revenge Just ask Qadry Ismail. Syracuse's go-to guy had taken just about all the abuse he'd cared to hear before the ninth-ranked Orangemen faced East Carolina. Then again, Ismail and his teammates did have an ax to grind after losing to the Pirates 23-20 at the Carrier Dome last season. Or did they? "You see, revenge is when a person is getting back for some- body taking what was rightfully theirs he said after Syracuse took a 42-21 victory over the Pirates. "Last year, they played the best ball game. Therefore they won. "This year, we wanted to go with the philosophy of 'Now, let's go out there and now, let us play the best ball between Syra- cuse and ECU The Orangemen did, rolling up 634 yards in offense. Ismail did his part, opening the game with a 64-yard touchdown run that silenced the record crowd of 36,500. "I think ECU people were thinking about last year. I don't think the players were, but I think the fans were Ismail said. "The fans were thinking about this being a big game For Ismail, it was just like any other game. Only with his name, he's trying to follow in the equally quick footsteps of his brother, former Notre Dame star Raghib "Rocket" Ismail, and that means doing the spec- tacular on nearly every play. After the long touchdown run, there was every indication that Ismail was heading for the highlight tapes after one week. Ismail carried just two more times for a total of 23 yards and caught one pass, for 34 yards, on a touchdown drive set up by an East Carolina turnover. Instead of being the glam- our player, Ismail was a con- tributor under coach Paul Pasqualoni's rotation system. "I'm glad about the rotation because it helps you get your legs back under you and see the defense and some of the things they might be doing and just get right back in there and go ahead and play ball he said. "You basically have to make the most of your opportunities if you're in the whole game he said, "because if you don't, then they're not going to get you the ball if you're not productive At Professor Eating&DrinkingSL A f Saloon FOOTBALL MONDAY NIGHT g IS BACK!
