Friday Saturday Sunday The East Carolinian Vol. 67 No. 9 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, September 24,1992 12 Pages Writing stressed in new curriculum By Kim Williams Staff Writer Starting in the fall of 1993, all fresh- men enrolled at ECU will have new writing requirements added to those needed for graduation. The Faculty Senate has given its sup- port to a new program called Writing Across the Curriculum that will require all stu- dents to have 12 semester hours of writing courses, said program director Dr. Patrick Bizzaro. These courses will include English 1100 and 1200, with an additional require- ment of six hours of "writing intensive" courses. At least three of the additional re- quirements must be in the student's major. "This is a very important program that has been in development for the past seven years Bizzaro said. "It is pretty clear that students aren't writing well enough to be successful Bizzaro, who was director of the Writ- ing Center for five years, conducted a study of 100 ECU graduates and found that 82 percent of them had no writing instruction since freshman composition. He also found that 49 percent of incoming freshmen are unable to demonstrate minimum writing skills in entrance essays. "This is a national emergency that is causing loss of productivity Bizzaro said. " It's not just a problem at ECU He said students that are nearing grad u- ation are expressing more concern about their ability to write, and that something needs to be done between the time a student takes freshman composition and the time he or she graduates. "This will make a difference in the job market Bizzaro said. Bizzaro said Writing Across the Cur- riculum is not just a program that will en- compass the English department, but one that will be campus-wide. "The English department does not want to create a writing empire he said. "We want students to de- velop a literacy in their own disciplines The goal of this new program is to involve writing-intensive courses in all the departments on campus. "It's not just the English department that is responsible Bizarro said. Bizarro said that Writing Across the Curriculum will create very few new courses because there are already courses that can just be redesigned. "There is no real need for courses to be developed he said. Students who are currently enrolled will not be required take the additional six hours of writing courses, but Bizzaro said that courses will be offered to students on a voluntary basis to help them in the future.

Enrollment up more than 1,000 from '91 By Karen Hassell Staff Writer According to the Office of the Registrar, enrollment for the fall semester at ECU reached 17,760students which excels last year's enrollment by more than 1,000. Jerry Clayton, assistant di- rector of undergraduate admis- sions, attributed the increase to wide-spread marketing in areas such as Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey. According to Dr. Thomas E. Powell, director of admissions, there was a higher than usual num- ber of applicants. He said the num- ber of applications was above nor- mal as early as last October and continued to rise throughout the fall and spring. "Around June or July, we will find out how many positions we will get to accommodate the students said Marlene Springer, vice chancellor for academic af- fairs. "We have to find out how many students come before they will tell us how many faculty they aregoingtogiveus. Then, after that, it takes us six months to a year to search to find the right people Springer said the university is going to aim for a 2 percent increase in enrollment for the fall of 1993 compared to the 6 percent increase that oc- curred in the fall of 1992. "I would like to see managed growth so that we can get the faculty and the space to accommo- date the peoplewe have Springer said.

However, the state has enjoyed an upward swing in average scores since 1989. According to State Superintendent Bob Etheridge, who was on campus last week to speak at the Chancellor's Forum, the state's SAT scores have improved a total of 19 points over the last three years. The largest increase occurred this year with an 11 point jump. Etheridge attributed the increase to society becoming more aware of the state's children and the education they are receiving. He said people have become more focused on the importance of a good education and have become more supportive of their childrens' efforts to achieve. "All children can learn Etheridge said. "I believe that. When people believe in the children, the children will achieve ECU also showed an increase in SAT scores for entering freshmen. According to Skip Kirby of the Planning and Institu- tional Research, the preliminary average SAT scores in 1992 for freshmen is 900,45 points above North Carolina's average score of 855. The College Board reported the national average SAT scores as 899 points, wh ich pu ts East Carolina one point above the See SAT, page 3 Student runs for City Council seat By Jeff Becker News Editor The ECU student who ran for the Greenville City Council last spring will get a second chance to get elected. Patrick Pitzer lost the race for the council's at-large seat in the May 5 election, but because of voting law violations, the State Board of Election called for a run-off on Nov. 3. Pitzer, the first ECU student to run for a council position, placed third in the three- way race last May. At-large candidate Jack Wall placed first in the election with 2,784 votes, 52 more than runner-up Chuck Patrick. Pitzer re- ceived 611 votes. Pitzer said he expects to receive more votes in the run off. He said the May elec- tion fell oneday after final exams and many students were not in town to vote. "If I get the students activated, 1 have a good chance he said. "If 20 percent of the students vote, I will win the election. Even a 15 percentstudentturnoutmay be enough to win it Pitzer said the students need some- one on the council who can speak up for such issues as parking near campus, the downtown Halloween celebration and the opening of new bars downtown. "I'm just looking to have a student's ear and voice in things that are not billed as student issues but directly affect one-third of the city ? the 17,000-plus students he said. "If students want to find out why something ha ppened, ho w i t can be a voided, or what they can do if they feel that some- thing needs to be changed, there should be someone there who they can talk to 1992-93 SGA FALL ELECTIONS CLASS OFFICERS DAY STUDENT REPS.

However, the university has not yet determined what the build- ings around Rose High School will be used for. Rose High School has moved to its new location on Ar- lington Boulevard, and the old building is currently being used as a middle school. Springer said she believes the bond will be passed by next November. Writing Noting the large enrollment, Chancellor Richard Eakin said the "growth clearly is not occurring at the expense of quality but "is matched with growth in the qual- ity of students' academic pre- paredness "We started planning very early Springer said. "The faculty already did a wonderful job at contributing their time to help us. We've had to increase some classes, but we Continued from page 1 haven't increased them all out of bounds. "We went into some of our salary savings and hired people to take up the slack. These are part-time people According to Eakin, the number of North Carolina high school graduates fell from 72,000 in 1989 to 60,000 this year. The graduation rate is ex- pected to reach a low of 58,000 by 1994. Undergraduate enroll- ment amounted to 14,844 stu- dents. Graduate students were 2,916. r . rcr?ci?te.Sr"i2rocSet "There has been a terrific willingness on the part of the faculty Bizzaro said. "It has taken awhile because we don't want it to be a free-for-all Bizzaro said about 40 per- cent of universities across the country have implemented Writ- ing Across the Curriculum pro- grams, but the program is being fine-tuned to fit ECU's needs. "Only about one in four of other universities actually have re- quirements he said. Currently, workshops are running to help train faculty members for the new Writing Across the Curriculum program.

Etheridge said if school re- quirements are increased and stu- dents are encouraged to take tougher courses, SAT scores will increase. He said the level of diffi- culty in high school courses must be increased to prepare students for the SAT as well as to prepare them to take their place in society. Although Etheridge ex- pressed pride in the increase in North Carolina's SAT scores, he said that North Carolina is not where it needs to be in relation to the national average.

By Elizabeth Shimmel Assistant News Editor The plans for the expansion of ECU'S Medical School Viva- rium are among the many things that did not receive funding be- cause of the denial of a state bond referendum. The $300 million Capital Im- provements Bond would haveal- lowed the general public to vote on construction throughout the 16 campus UNC system. Propos- als included in the bond for ECU were a $26 million expansion of Joyner Library, a $5 million ac- quisition of Rose High School and the $7 million expansion of the vivarium (animal research facility) at the life science com- plex. The animal research facility at the School of Medicine allows medical students the chance to work with animals in medical re- search. Richard Brown, vice chancel- lor for Business Affairs said, "The vivarium was not singled out, it was one of four projects we were seeking tohaveincluded in the UNC bond issue According to Dr. William Pryor, chairman of the department of comparative medicine, the ex- pansion of the vivarium is neces- sary for students to benefit from the research facility. Two years ago, Pryor and his colleagues at the life science complex asked the state for plan- ning money and received $375,000. Under normal circumstances, the appropriate amount of build- ing funds are given after the plans have been produced. This was not the case for the vivarium expan- sion program. Brown said if the economy improves, the vivarium could get the bond money that is necessary to expand the facility. "If the economy turns around, this project is pretty high on the list,but will there be enough money is the question Brown said. "If there is another bond ref- erendum, then there will be enough money However, officials at the life science complex will continue to push foranother bond referendum. "When the state has leftover money, the legislature meets to decide where the money goes Brown said.

Hundreds of refugees lie in the heat and : slowly waste away because United Nations r officials are lagging in their promised duties ; to help the failing country. The U. N. is not the only organization lagging in help to this destitute nation, though. Foreign countries ? including the United States ? have re called their embassy staffs, further fueling Somalia's crash. Soldiers destined to guard the incoming relief food are just now coming into the country at the port of Mogadishu, though they were promised months ago. Other cit- ies are still prone to attacks from rival clans, I fighting over control of each city. In the city of Belet-Huen, 140 armed guards were hired so as to protect incoming planes from bandit attacks. This past week- end, however, security broke down. The U.S. military has stopped flights after get- ting a bullet in the tail of one of their planes and private relief groups can just not handle the 40,000 people eating daily in Red Cross kitchens. A Red Cross worker said that food ship- ments were "like a drop in the ocean" even before ths Plights stopped. 'We get 4,000 (people) here every day; but we can only feed 1,100 the worker said. "Many will go back home without food A SIDEWARDS GLANCE The time has come for countries ? in- cluding the United States ? to get off their collective backsides and reinstitute help to Somalia. The United Nations promised re- lief months ago and is just now fulfilling that pledge. Though the U.N. has admitted some fault in not getting food to the people as quick as they should have, that is not enough. Admitting you're careless in your duties is one thing, but to remain neglectful after this admission only serves as a contradic- tion in terms. Security in Somalia is non- existent and only when the troops receive their orders can food be properly distrib- uted to the people that need it the most. Closer to home, the United States gov- ernment needs to re-evaluate their position on Somalia. Though no one wants to see U.S. soldiers injured or killed in a foreign country, common decency dictates that some form of aid needs to be given. Obviously, private agencies are unable to handle the tremendous amount of aid that is needed. Only governments ? foreign and do- mestic ? can manage the intense load that is needed to solve the problem. Further indifference can only compound the issue and a definite stance must be taken. If aid is to be given, then give it. Empty promises will just mean emptier stomachs. By David J. Jones Wake up and smell the latex !?- . Ten months ago to the day, my sister gave birth to a very healthy looking baby boy. They decided to name the baby Tanner Lee White (Yeah, I know Tanner is a little goofy sounding to me too) butanywayTanner grew quickly and was a very manageable baby. For a first child he seemed to be a real gift from heaven. Then complications set in. Tanner was diagnosed, at six months, with having a blood dis- order. I'm not even going to try to pronounce the name of this dis- ease, but it had something to do with the fact that Tanner's bone marrow was not producing blood correctly. His red blood cells were only being produced at 1100 the rate of a normal baby his age. To complicate matters even more, his liver's rate of detoxification had increased three-fold. The net ef- fect of mis was that anything that Tanner's body was producing to fix his blood problem, his liver was screwing up or cancelling out. The real kicker (and the crux of this article) is that Tanner had to. go to the hospital again yesterday. I asked my parents what the prob- lem was and they said that there was no real problem, other than the aforementioned ones de- scribed above. Tanner was going in to be tested for the HTV virus. I thought that I was going to stop breaming. Why on earth would they be testing a, now, ten month old baby for HIV? Then immedi- ately it dawned on me that the doctors were concerned about Tanner catching the virus because of all the transfusions he has to have. He has to be tested from now on (until he is cured) every six months for HIV and he still has to get his transfusions once every two weeks to keep his red blood cell count up. A couple of months before the situation that I have just de- scribed occurred, my father and I got into a very curious argument. We were both watching the evening news and the story that had just aired was about the fact that the New York public school system was distribu ting condoms to its high school students for free. He said that high school age stu- dents should not be having sex, they were too young and that condom distribution simply en- couraged them (yeah, pop's a con- servative through and through). I tried to give him the argument that besides the fact that condom distribution promotes sexual awareness, these students are go- ing to engage in sexual intercourse anyway. He still didn't agree. There was no changing his attitude until Tanner came along. No one ever thinks about it until it happens to them or to one they love (sound familiar?). It hasn't even happened to Tanner yet and we're all scared to death and pray- ing with all our hearts that he comes through this all right. I had a friend a few months ago (yes he's still a friend we just don't see each other as often now since I moved) who, to put it bluntly snagged a new girl every weekend. He didn't seem to care who she was, just as long as she was cute. I met more people in the short year that I lived with tfjis guy than I did the previous five years. He couldn't have cared less about safe sex. He was just your typical, stupid, braindead, jerk. I expressed my concern to him about this particular aspect of his life. He just feigned concern and dismissed the discussion. I have met many people in this town that fit this same type character mold, male and female alike. Folks, this is serious busi- ness. AIDS and other forms of STD's are on the rise in our coun- try. Ithas nothing to do with "Fam- ily Values" on the decline. This has to do with caringabout people and giving a damn about your friends and neighbors.

JOE OF ALL TRADES By Joe Horst Murphy Brown and Quayle square off The issue of Murphy Brown, Dan Quayle and family values may have been beaten to death already, but I'm going to give it one last shot to finish the beast off forever. The whole issue started with remarks Quayle made about Brown in a speech in which he blamed the recent Los Angeles ri- ots on a "poverty of values "It doesn't help matters when prime- time TVhasMurphy Brown mocking the importance of fa- thers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another lifestyle choice Quayle said. Tempers and issues flared af- ter this speech, finally culminat- ing in the season openerof Murphy Brown, telecast Monday night. Brown rebutted Quayle's com- ments with an out-of-character speech at the end of the show. Possibly the most memorable line in the speech came when Brown specifically addressed Quayle and his definition of fam- ily values. "Perhaps it's time for the vice president to expand his definition and recognize that whether by choice or circumstance, families come in all shapes and sizes BOB'S WALL Brown said. ? "Family values" broadens ho- rizons But, of course, I have to put my two cents in and try to get the last word. In a society today that no longer conforms to the happily married husband and wife, 2.4 kids and a white picket-fence sce- nario, attacking single mother- hood can only be deemed a lesson in ultimate stupidity. Not content to be a virtual laughing-stock for the media, Quayle decided to climb on his horse and tilt the biggest windmill he could find. Don Quixote would have been proud. Single motherhood has be- come a lifestyle of choice (and also not of choice) that is accepted readily now because of its preva- lence. Twenty years ago, Quayle's remarks may rave reached a more favorable audience. But, in the '90s, the only response that should have been reasonably expected was anger. "Family values" is so broad and wide a concept that to bring it up only invites confusion and puzzlement. So many different styles of families exist today that to profess that one is the only cor- rect way to live only serves to alienate every other part of the country. ?So, let's finish it and get on with our lives. Well, the time has come to throw the last clumpof dirt on this political hot potato(e). Quayle has upped his tough-guy image and proven that he can take a stance on a controversial issue. Now, if we could get him to make that stance thoughtful and well-considered, instead of spur of the moment, then maybe we'd have a decent vice-president Murphy Brown's done her part, using television as a medium for the views of a nation. As she says, the only acceptable defini- tion for a family is not "a mother, a father and children A family is a group of people working to- gether not just because of blood- ties, but because of the love and caring that they share with each other throughout their entire lives. TMuff said. By Bob Dubliablo Racism: the product of ignorance When did racism start? Was it the day the first slaveships landed in Africa? It is true that many of the slaves who ended up in America were actually sold to the white slave traders by other Africans. The many tribes of Africa were constantly at war with each other. After a battle, the victorious tribe would take the survivors captive and trade them for various goods. The slave traders wou Id also barge into villages and kill the inhabit- ants, literally kidnapping the na- tives in order to bring them back to America. So, you have the slave traders who were murderers and pilagers, and you have the African tribes who felt no remorse trading their enemies into slavery. One is just as bad as the other, but I person- ally don't believe it was a white against black thing, not back then at least. Blacks have been persecuted for hundreds of years, but I don't believe this was the beginning of racism. The atrocities that took place during the days of slavery were terribly unjust, but remember that we are talking about a time when civilization as a whole was rela- tively barbaric. For example, back then people thought the cure for syphilis was to have intercourse with a virgin! The days of slavery are not the direct cause of racism and anger that we all have to deal with now in our daily lives. I honestly don't believe that a black person would be mad at a white person, just because a white person's ancestors were slaveowners. What a person's an- cestors did doesn't have anything to do with the descendants who are here now. I don't think racsim began with slavery. I think racsim began the day slavery ended. The concept of placing this huge group of people into a soci- ety which is entirely different could not possibly have suc- ceeded. The slaves had no idea what freedom in America felt like. They were placed into a society that white people had created and lived in. The icing on the cake was these new members of society were a different color. These poor people never had a chance to fit in and feel normal, not to mention I'm sure many white people treated these newly freed slaves as if they were just that; someone that used to be a slave. Did they think these people would just buy a house and settle down? Let's switch to a different time in history, a more recent time pe- riod. There was a point when black people couldn't use the same wa- ter fountain, eat in the same res- taurantor ride where they wanted to on the bus. Tnere were many great black leaders who helped their people to survive such a time. Lately, I have heard people say Malcolm X has become a popu- lar figure from history because he was violent. People have seemed to think that violent actions will bring a more rapid change. 1 don't think violence will help end racism and I don't be- lieve Malcolm X thought that ei- ther. I think Malcolm X did what he thought was right for that time period. These are the 90s. I believe we have to use many methods to fight racism, violence is not on the list. One of the main ways to fight racism is education. Well, I can hear everyone in readerland groaning about how I'm another George Herbert Walker Bush. This is not true. When someone hates you be- cause you are black or you hate me because I'm a white, we have a - problem. If you hate me because I have no personality, fine. We need to educate these fools who believe color is grounds for hatred. I'm tired of having to suffer because of other people's ignorant actions. I saw a man on CNN getting interviewed. The riots had been over for at least two weeks. The man stood on the charred side- walk in front of his burned out building. Heexplained that he had over $50,000 worth of clothing and other inventory in his store. He did not have insurance because in that part of LA it was too expen- sive. He said he had no money in the bank, his life savings was in the store. He was finished. He had nothing to his name except the ashes of the store. Was that man a racist? Did he deserve to have everything taken from him? Did his store serve as a sacrifice to end racism? Did the rioters interview him to see what kind of guy he was, or what his stand on politics was be- fore they burned his store down? I don't think they did, the man was black. He is one of the people who this violence was supposedly trying to hel p. Does that make any sense? li Thp East Carolinian scpicntci 'l Classifieds FOR RENT KINGS ARMS APART- MENTS :1 and 2 bedroom apartments. Energy-efficient, several locations in town.

By Joe Horst Assistant Lifestyle Editor Flip to any late-night channel on a Sunday night and more than likelv, vou'U see the latest in a pro- fusion of teievangelists. Is this just a new fad or the newest example in religious history? Anew book by an ECU English professor delves into the religious experiences of 30 indi- viduals and the similarities of each experience. "The Conversion Experience in America: A Sourcebook on Reli- giousConversion Autobiography by Dr. James C. Hoi te of the English department, studies autobiogra- phies collected from early Ameri- can pioneers to contemporary reli- gious leaders. Holte said his idea for the book came from an interest in autobiog- raphies and an experience with his infant daughter. He and his wife were taking turns sirring up with the child early in the morning. "The only thingon television at the time wereTVevangelists Holte said. "So my daughter and 1 would sit in the rocking chair watching this kind of 'other culture' that ex- isted Watching these TV preachers, Holte became interested and, with rch, soon recognized thattheir religi iversion narratives served as a constant in American history. Holte's book is one of the first that studies the literature aspect of the conversion experience, with an emphasis on autobiographical ac- counts. Most contemporary re- search in the 20th century focuses on the religious and psychological aspects of the experience. In his introduction, Holte breaks down the narratives into three basic parts. "Usually, the nar- rative starts with the person's life before the conversion. Then, the conversion experience itself f l!ows, and is finished with the person's life after the conversion Holte further breaks down each individual narrative in his book into three parts also: b'ography, autobi- ography and criticism. Withineach narrative, Holte uses his own and other authors' criticism to put the narrative into its timely perspec- tive. One of the characters in the book that interested Holte the most was Dorothy Day, author of "The Long Loneliness Day started out as a communist and an anarchist, subsequently being arrested for opposing the American entry into the first world war. Later, Day be- camea Roman Catholic and helped found the Catholic Worker Move- ment. Other conversion accounts come from diverse individuals such as Jim Bakker, Carry Nation, John Woolman and Malcolm X. A common thread that runs through some narratives is their conversion cKcurring when they are in a state of stress or crisis. Psy- chologists have theorized that this crisis causes a personality break- down, but a Puritan ministernamed Jonathan Edwards explained it as "God preparing a person to realize his own sinfulness said Holte.

The recital will feature the music of composers Debussy, Mendelssohn and Brahms. Cited as two of contemporary music's most esteemed artists, Ax and Ma began performing together professionally just over six years ago. Their joint efforts have proved advantageous, earning them two Grammy Awards and fillingcount- less auditoriums with pleased lis- teners. Both Ax and Ma have full solo careers as well. Ma, a relatively young artist in his late '30s, already has five Grammy Awards to his name. In addition to his concert season and extensive tours, Ma de- votes time each year to music edu- cation through teaching summer classes at Tanglewood Festival School in Massachusetts. A Paris native, Ma began play- ing the cello at age four. He gradu- ated from Harvard University and studied at Juilliard. He is married and has two children, Nicholas and Emily. Photo courtesy ICM artists Emanual Ax and Yo Yo Ma will bring their classical talent to Wright Auditorium Sept. 28 with the piano and cello. Ax, a Columbia University alumnus with a French major, is considered by his peers to be the greatest pianist of present time. Noted for his poetic lyricism and unique style, Ax's 20 albums have taken top honors. At the age of 25, Ax won the First Arthur Rubinstein Interna- tional Piano Competition in Tel Aviv, Israel. Born in Poland, Ax came to the United States to stud vat Juilliard. He married pianist Yoko Nozaki and they now live in New York City with their two children, Joseph and Sarah. Both holding exclusive Sony classical recordingcontracts, Ax and Ma plan to continue to collaborate their musical talents. Monday's 8 p.m. performance is sure to be a welcomeaddition to EastCarolina's Performing Arts Series and to please classical music lovers.

Gray Art Gallery opened the 1992 school year with an unusual exhibition called Redier- die. This exhibition features 35 works by 11 artists from the Phila- del phia African-American artists or- ganization. Recherche, which means "un- common or rare helps the artists cope with some of the issues Afri- can-American artists must face by. They do this by becoming a collec- tive force who have committed themselves to the cause. Members of this grou p are com- posed of mid-career artists who have become fascinated with the creative process. They approach it in stylistically and philosophically different ways. The artists work together so they are able to share in their artistic growth and at the same time en- courage individual expression. Recherche has exhibitions in Europe and South America, as well as all over the United States. The artists rely heavily on ori- entation and abstractionand present their works in paintings, photo- graphs, fibers and sculptures. Through this, they are trying to re- flect what is going on in their com- munity. The fiber and weaving con- struction titled "Retreat at Blue Mountain" by Nannette Acker- Clark came from some of her per- sonal experiences both immediate and from her ancestors. She said her work is not planned,each section seems to grow from the other. "The works I create incorpo- rate motifs and symbols of my Afri- can American heritage ? I hope to embody someof the traditional and spiritual concepts in the African- American experiences in the coun- try Acker-Clark said. Her visual inspiration came froma placewhereshe worked near the mountains. This served as a re- treat from a certain part of her life. Don Camp's work could defi- nitely be considered unusual be- cause he takes memorable photo- graphs and places them on mirrors so that the image never leaves you. By looking into a mirror you are no longer equal with the image. Another of the artists, Walter Edmonds, created the oil painting, "Tornado. "The reason behind this tor- nado is Edmonds' wondering if people are doing something to our earth to cause such catastrophes. In a lecture given by Dr. Leslie King-Hammond of the Maryland Institute of the Arts Thursday night at ECU, she described these artists as dancing spirits experimenting with light, form, color and shape. "These artists don't believe in perfection so their art depends on symbols to represent the actual ob- jects King-Hammond said. She continued to say that Afri- can-American artists receive nega- tivity from the main stream com- munity. In addition, the internal parts of the African-American commu- nity aren'tsure whether thearthelps or hurts them. The main objective of the Re- cherche group is for the viewer to leave thinkingabouttheexhibition. Recherche will be on exhibit through Oct. 17. Continued from page 7 "Too High" runs down the middle of music with a smooth type of feel. "Slave" starts out slow witfi a jazzy feel to it and, with the onsetbf tlied aims, builds toasimplerhythm of blues and hard rock. Gene Tart's lyrics are throaty and emotional, giving the listener an image of him romancing the microphone. "Slave" finishes on a hard note with guitars and drums clashing in competition with the lyrics. Automatic Slim brings back the classic rhythm of rock 'n' roll with a style all their own.

BGSU should not scare me but they do. Tony Davis broke his thumb and will likely beon the sidelines with Jerry Dillon. Davis has started to fill the shoes of Robert Jones, quite well (43 tackles after three games). Missing too is Greg Grandi- son. He has been noticeably ab- sent from thedefensi ve schemes, only participatinginroughly half the plays of his buddy Davis. I wish I knew the reason behind the near benching of an All-American candidate. I understand it as much as this campus under- stands why Sean McConnell starts over the Satellite. While fm on the subject of who starts, first quarter points are the thing we may be missing the most against BGSU ? we havenone,zero,zip,zilch through three games. Might this have something to do with the open- ing drive? If Coach Logan wants to establish the running game in the first quarter, I am sure Mr. Anderson can hand the ball off as well as anybody. Enough negativity. Props go out to Junior Smith. His 133 yards rushing are the most by any Buc since 1990. Maybe we have a little running game but I would rather not find out in Ohio. Please, Mother Nature, don't let it rain. I want the ball in the air. The better we throw the larger the margin of victory. Mark Szlachcic G Chas' Pick Crystal Balls After an exhilarating win over the South Carolina Game- cocks, waterlogged fans had these comments: "I guess when it rains it pours, but this is ridiculous said Byron E. Bland, a political science major. 'This year's kick- ing teamcan'tevenkickahabit Weall know this year's team is lacking in the kicking depart- ment. By no means is that a di- rect attack or reflection of Michael Jacobs and DekeOwens ability. However, the ever present 'hypothetical situation" has to be addressed. God forbid, Jacobs or Owens should go down during the course of the season. Can the added pressure of the special teams kicking game be carried by the explosive offensive and the dominating defense? Will one kickerpunter be able to maintain a high level of consis- tency? This weekends match-up with Bowling Green will finally expose the weakest link in the ECU football chain. Unless Sean McConnell and Michael Ander- son can totally dominate the Fal- con defense, the opportunity for the "last play of the game" will sway towards the Falcons. Robert S.

Logan keeps level head as Head Coach Page 9 McCaskill traveled long path to ECU By Chas Mitch'l Assistant Sports Editor On an average weekend, weather permitting, you can find ECU'S Volleyball Head Coach Martha McCaskill on the water or on the trails. Either behind the con- sole of an Evinrude power boat, d ragging the line on the skis, or just out enjoying a nature trail. She is truly an outdoor enthusiast. "Oh, I love the outdoors. Wa- ter skiing, snow skiing, boating, it doesn't matter McCaskill said. "I just love nature McCaskill, no stranger to natu- ral surroundings, is from Erwin, N.C. Erwin is a small town in Harnett County which houses some of the most spectacular wooded scenery in the state. "Erwin has changed a lot over the years. Even though it's still rather small, it's still as beautiful now as it was when I was younger McCaskill said. During her high school years, McCaskill played basketball and Softball for Erwin High School, af- ter which she went on to play soft- ball for the Tarheels of UNC- Chapel Hill. In addition, she gradu- ated as a Dean's List student in 1979 with degree in Health and Physical Education. The following year she earned her masters de- gree and landed her first head coaching job. As a Head Coach, Martha Mc- Caskill was very successful in -aching out to her players with her words of love, respect and com- mitment. She led by example and also gave unselfishly of her time. In her first six seasons, McCaskill coached her Valkories of D.H. Conley to six consecutive state vol- leyball appearances. But, as in all lives, a little rain must fall. With so much success and happinessabound,Coach McCaskill lostborhher parents within twoyears of each other. 'It was a hard time for my sister and I McCaskill said. "Since their death, I have noticed, within me, a change for the better After the 1985 season, McCa- skill continued to amass an impres- sive 10-year coaching record. In those 10 years, she managed a 212- 30 win lost record, was twice named Coach of the Year, while leading D. H. Conley to a 3A State Championship in 1986. In 1989 she was the Female Coach of the Year in Region I. Her teams also finished third in the state twice, and were a second place finisher once. So when asked, why did she come to East Carolina? McCaskill just smiled and said, "I was ready for a change. I was offered the op- portunity to coach at East Carolina and I felt that this was an excellent chance for me to continue to grow Along with her new found du- ties, Coach McCaskill managed to assist theSpecial Olympicsof North Carolina. For the last two Olym- pics, McCaskill was appointed and servf d as the Director of Volleyball. "It was a lot of hard work, but it was wonderful to see the kids hav- ing so much fun and truly enjoying themselves McCaskill said. "ECU and the town of Greenville were the co-venue holders for the Olympics the last two years and it was good to see the community and the school working together to help such a noteworthy cause Coach McCaskill, now in her third season, has visions of success and happiness for the 1992 squad. With her work cut out for her, McCaskill and Lady Pirates have setouttoaccomplished the unimag- inable ? a winning record in the CAA. East Carolina has been the cellar team since the league was formed in 1986. "The schools in the CAA have sound volleyball programs and are stable in their coaching and recruit- ing departments McCaskill said. "This year ECU is knocking on the door, and should rise from thebase- ment of the Colonial Athletic Asso- ciation With the last winning season for ECU volleyball dating back to 1989 (16-15), the Lady Pirates are in a position to turn some heads, and open some eyes in the CAA. 'This year's group of young ladies have a lot of heart and de- sire McCaskill said. "They have the chemistry and the potential to make a lot of good things happen on the court ? By Warren Sumner Staff Writer Pirate football fans have many fig- ures to focus their attention on this sea- - son. There are a multitude of players I which can distract their eyes, a list nearly I too long to mention. Who could forget the twoexdtingquarterbacks,McGonnelland I Anderson? Or the defensive terrors Tony I Davis and Jerry Dillon? However,giventhecurrenttwogame win streak, and the possibility of another successful season, the attention of ECU fans is quickly turning toward Head Coach Steve Logan. With memories of last year's departure of former coach Bill Lewis to Georgia Tech still fresh on the minds of Pirate fans, many question whether there is an Atlanta for Coach Logan, if the team mirrors last year's success. Coach Logan tells Pirate fans not to worry. Though he said he cannot predict the future, he added, Tm not trying to win and leave. I would sign a lifetime contract if I could Logan defends the "unbelievable offer" received by Lewis, but under- stands Pirate fans being upset with him. Logan, named the Pirate's 17th j headcoachonjanu- - ary 11,1992, served ; underLewisfortwo ; seasonsasoffensive coordinator and quarterback coach, and for one season coaching the Pirate I running backs. Logan, who also Head Coach Steve Logan said he likes to teach on game days. served as personal mentor to Jeff Blake, is developingcloserelationships with Michael Anderson and Sean McConnell. He said of all the aspects of his job, coaching the quar- terbacks was the most enjoyable. "Thaf s the fun part of what I do he said. He also said that Michael Anderson has become more trusting of him. "If s hard to rum your mind and body over to some- one in totality he said. "Michael has gotten much closer .to that Logan said he looks forward to the prospect of Sean McConnell becoming a graduate assistant coach in the next sea- son, a situation he feels would not only be good for McConnell, but for Anderson as well. Logan said that one of the reasons he enjoys his job is toe area of Greenville and the opportunities it provides for him and his family. He and his wife Laura have started both their sons in little league baseball, but he emphatically states he is not a "Little League Dad he said. "I have no ego for their success. Whatever they want to do is fine with me Logan does notwanthis sons to follow in his football footsteps, however ? he is more interested in their academic success. Logan credits Tulsa coach John Cooper with being a major influence on his coach- ing career, and has adopted his easy-going attitude for use at East Carolina. Logan does not allow emotion to cloud his judgement preferring to "teach on Saturday Logan feels the exciting brand of foot- ball played at ECU will do more for recruit- ing than additions to the facilities. "I watch other football teams and get bored Logan said. "One thing you can count on when you go to an ECU football game is being enter- tained Logan feels the most important thing for the program is to maintain a winning tradition. "If you win, you recruit good players ?Thaf s what I'm trying to do, Win, Win, Win. Sometimes I'm a little too consumed with that, but I make no apologies for winning ?? Photo by Biff Ranson ? TEC What's a Chanticleer? Who caresR They got whipped by our Ladies. Volleyball jams with Jimmy and Terry By Chas Mitch'l Assistant Sports Editor With Jimmy Jamm and Terry Lewis filling the airways, the Lady Pirates took to the hardwoods Tues- day night against Coastal Carolina. The electrifying sounds from the movie soundtrack Mo' Money sent the spark needed to aid the Pirates to a three game sweep of the Chanti- cleers. According to Head Coach Martha McCaskill, thechemistry and opportunity is there for this years team. "I'm so glad to see our kids respond McCaskill said. "We were clicking tonight, on both sides of the ball In three games, ECU white- washed Coastal 15-8,154,15-10. By toe time the crowd managed to get into the groove of the match, the con- test was over. "We're still struggling on our passes McCaskill said after the win. "Even though we were successful in three games, it doesn't allow enough time to work on our digs and kills Jenny Parson had a team-high 34 assists and Leigh Wilcox led the offense with 12 kills. Freshman Melanie Richard sparked the defen- sive unit with her 11 digs. The Lady Pirates are now 4-5and will next square off against Virginia Commonwealth on Sept. 25. "VCU obviously is playing well, and they have beaten some good teams and have continued to play extremely well McCaskill said. "I know that they're able to play and play well, so we need to work on middle fielding and we will have a chance to compete fairly well against them ? ??? 10 The East Carolinian Recreational Services Flag Football Picks Frata ?
