The East Carolinian Vol. 67 No. 11 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, October 1,1992 10 Pages Weapons incidents on campus increase By Joe Horst Staff Writer The campus police have en- countered an increasing number of incidents involving weapons over the last two years. Last year, an ECU student was shot by another student in Garrett Hall when one of the stu- dents was showing off his 9 mm pistol. Also, non-students have been stopped on campus and dis- covered with weapons in their possession. "Weapons of any sort are illegal on college or university property said Ronald Speier, dean of student life. Along with a university policy forbidding the possession or use-of firearms, a North Caro- lina General Statute exists that also makes possession unlawful. According to N.C.G.S. 14- 269.2, "it shall be unlawful for any person to possess, carry, whether openly or concealed, any gun or any other weapon of like kind" on property controlled or owned by a university. Weapons listed in the stat- ute include BB and pellet guns, nitroglycerine, springloaded pro- jectile knives, detonators and fuses for explosion of TNT, leaded canes, brass knuckles and mar- rial-arts related weaponry. Students enrolled inarchery classes may possess arrows, but they must inform their residence hall advisor prior to storing them in their room. Campus property includes all of ECU's main campus, the medical school, hospital grounds and other buildings in Greenville, such as the Chancellor's house, that are ECU-controlled. The Department of Public Safety has jurisdiction over the ECU campus as well as 10th and Fifth streets in Greenville, "We have joint jurisdiction with other law enforcement agen- cies over any streets that are ad- joining campus said Chief Ron Avery of Public Safety. Any individual stopped on campus and found in possession of a weapon can be subject to disciplinary actions including, but not limited to, a fine, commu- nity service andor suspension See Weapons, page 3 Brits, Americans square off for Quiz Bowl championship By Chas Mitch'l Staff Writer No controversy, no heated discussion and no upset competi- tors. This time. On Saturday, the Student Union Committee held it's an- nual All-Campus College Bowl at Mendenhall Student Center. This year's field of teams con- sisted of a myriad of students. With nine teams competing for top honors, the championship matched featured No. 1 Pick-Up verses Eureka. Last semester, heated de- bates and bellowingshouts of pro- test overshadowed the event. However, this year's participants seemed to have had a more re- laxed competitive approach. "Competition wise, this was a pretty good tournament said Jamey Tisdale, a member of the Phi Sigma Pi entry. No. 2 Pick-Up, comprised of Luong Ngo, Robert Joyner, Curtis Griffin and Dana Monson, finished the double-elimination tournament in third place. "It was fun there were a lot of good teams" said Joyner, a member of the 1992 ECU Quiz Bowl All-Stars. The championship match pitted Eureka (a Great Britain ex- change student team) against No. 1 Pick-up (a Student Union Com- mittee entry). Eureka, surfacing from the losers bracket, ran against a buzz saw in the form of No. 1 Pick-Up. "Those guys were good, they had pretty good chemistry says one competitor of No. 1 Pick-Up.

Harris has spoken to more than 1 million students around the world about the disease. AIDS myths create problems By Marjorie Pitts Staff Writer The world is losing the battle against AIDS, said a lead- ing authority on the disease Tues- day night. John Harris, who has spoken to more than 1 million students world-wideabout AIDS, conducted a seminar titled "Inti- macy in the age of AIDS" in Jenkins auditorium. "The biggest myth of this disease is when people say that ? it's someone else's disease Harris said. The epidemic is increasing rapidly. Harris said there werean estimated 3 million cases of AIDS in the United States in 1986. He now estimates that at least 10 million U.S. residence carry the AIDS virus and the number is increasing. The number of high school and college students who have the AIDS virushasalso increased. In 1989, one out of every 1,000 students were infected. In 1992, anestimatedoneoutof every 100 students carry the virus. "I believe condoms are the biggest hoax with AIDS Harris said. Harris said the virus can seep through the condoms and infect a person. He also said oral sex is no longer safe sex because the virus can be transmitted through mucus membranes. Women and men have dif- ferent survival rates. Men have about eight years to live after in- fection, whereas women have an average five years to live. It is also estimated that in the near future 62 percent of AIDS cases will be women.

The number of men in campus fraternities is up 20 percent from 1991-92. Fraternities enjoy large rush Police arrest three in drug sting By Chas Mitch'l Staff Writer State-wide operation yields 26 warrants By Shay Pitrce Staff Writer The Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil congratulated all East Carolina campus fraternities for an excep- tionally good rush last week. Fraternity numbers are up 20 percent from last year. There are presently 280 men who ac- cepted bids and are pledging. "I've been here five years and these are the highest num- bers I've seen said IFC presi- dent Tommy Spaulding. Spaulding attributes this accom- plishment to a group effort by the Inter-fraternity council. iFC contains 41 members including five executives, the president of each of the 18 frater- nities and one representative from each as well. The group is similar to the Panhellenic Council that oversees campus sororities. Up until two years ago, the council served mostly as a "judi- cial review" for fraternities with few inter-fraternal relations. Spaulding and the council have worked to change this image. Spaulding said, "When I was first elected, I wanted to do more to make the Greek system strong in- stead of just using IFC as a judicial body over all the fraternities Although IFC enforces such rules as those against fraternity hazing and supporting alcohol policies, its efforts go further. To overcome the segmentation within the Greek system, the council is working hard to increase relations among fraternities and sororities. Spaulding's first goal was "for all fraternity presidents to become friends He said he is also work- ing toward establishing a work- ing relationship with Panhellenic. See IFC, page 3 The Greenville Police Depart- ment Tuesday arrested three men for possession of $94,200 in illegal drugs. The arrests were part of a state- widestingoperation in which 26 war- rants in North Carolina were issued including 10 in Pitt County. According to Greenville Police Detective Roger Brown, die goal of the sting operation was to break an illegal lottery and numbers racket. Brown said 7 ounces of co- caine, 25 ounces of heroin and 4 ounces of an unidentified substance was recovered at the residence of 1111-AW. Fourth St. A 32 caliber hand gun, fax machines, $1,020 in cash, measuring scales and otherdrug paraphernalia were also seized. Benjamin Jerome Stephens, 49, and Charlie Frank Doward, 52, both of 1111-A Fourth St were each charged with four counts of traffick- ing cocaine and heroine, onecount of maintainingadwellingandonecount of possession of drug paraphernalia. WalterGilmore,56,of430Tyson St was charged with four counts of trafficking cocaine and heroin and one count of possession of drug para- phernalia. Bail was set at $104,000 for Stephens and Doward and $102,000 for Gilmore. Assisting the Greenville Police were the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S Treasury Department, the State Bu- reauof Investigation, the Alcohol Law Enforcement agency and the Alco- hol, Tobacco and Firearms agency. "We were working in conjunc- tion with the state and federal au- thorities ina multi-jurisdictional fed- eral task force in the operation Brown said. "We acted on a tip of possible drugtrafficking said Lt. C J. Hardee of the Greenville Police Department "Once we were in position and gained entry into the house, we came across the three suspects with the goodies. 'This is possibly one the big- gest bust we've had in the city of Greenville in quite some time. "All this merchandise was headed for the streets.

The plan would have allowed students to get a card for one free beer a night at local bars after signing a pledge card promising that he or she would not drink and drive. Pledge cards were to have been distributed to about 9,000 students of legal drinking age. "At first we thought it was done as a spoof said Art Sandeen, the university's student affairs vice president. "We thought it was a terrible idea ISU professor sues school An Iowa State University professor is suing several school administrators and the Iowa Board of Regents after he was barred from using a book he wrote as a required text in a class. John Strong, an associate professor in human development and family studies, claimed his First Amendment rights were violated be- cause he couldn't use his book, "Unlocking the Communication Puzzle as a primary text in his course. A student complaint in 1991 brought the matter to the attention of school administrators, and a department committee later voted that the book should not be used as primary text. It was also determined the book con- tained no bibliography or cited scholars. "(The professor) feels strongly that the university is interfering with his rights to select his own materials said Anthony Renzo, Strong's attorney. Half-tuition students stay in school A program that offers local high school students a 50 percent discount on tuition at the University of Hartford is boasting a 91 percent retention rate, officials said. The program, which started in 1990, offers talented graduates of Hartford city high schools a half-tuition plan for each year they attend the university. Officials credit the program's mentoring system, in which faculty and staff members are assigned certain students to counsel and advise, to keep the students in college. Study tracks student success A University of Michigan study has found that community college students are no less likely to succeed when they transfer to a four-year college than students who began their academic career at a four-year institution. The report contradicts previous find- ings that found students who attended a community college area at a "definite disadvantage" in earning a degree or going to graduate school. Valerie Lee, an associate professor of education who conducted the study, tracked 422 students who entered community college and then transferred to a four-year institution.

Spaulding said he began with inviting a different speaker into each weekly meet- ing. All fraternity presidents meet once a month for dinner. They also have president meet- ings once every month for Panhellenic and Inter-Fraternity Council members. One other goal IFC and Panhellenic hope to achieve is showingnon-Greeks what Greeks are about. Spaulding said the IFC's hard work will create a positive image for all fraternal organiza- tions. or expulsion. Non-students, as well as students, are also subject to state law actions that could in- clude imprisonment of up to six months, a fine of up to $500 or both. "If they're (students) living in the residence hall � they're out of the residence hall Speier said. "If they're brandishing (a weapon), we're going to recom- mend suspension As an option to persons who lawfully own a weapon, Public Safety offers free storage of fire- arms, bows and arrows or other related equipment used for hunt- ing or sport.

Stricter enforcement and better options for legal weapon owners are sorely needed to combat this serious problem. Last year, a student was accidentally shot in Garrett Hall when his friend was showing off his gun. There have also been incidents where non-students have been stopped by the campus police and discov- ered with weapons on their persons. Presently, a North Carolina General Stat- ute exists that strictly prohibits weapons on any state-owned property. In part, the stat- ute states: . it shall be unlawful for any person to possess, carry, whether openly or concealed, any gun or any other weapon of like kind in any public or private school campus or other property owned For ECU, this encompasses all of central campus, the medical school and hospital grounds and other related campus houses in Greenville. If someone is stopped in one of these areas, and is in possession of a weapon, heshe would be subject to not only sanctions on the university level, but also on the state level. The only exception to this university policy is the owning of mace by individuals. A SIDEWARDS GLANCE All other weapons�including knives, TNT, ni troglycerine and other martial-arts related materials � are forbidden on campus and penalties start at possible expulsion from the residence halls for residential students. The Department of University Police offers an alternative for hunters. They are allowed to check in their rifles and guns at no cost and can check them out again for private use. Weapons will be logged, stored and given out to the owners when they leave campus. Campus crime is an important issue in today's college societies and the possession of weapons only compounds the existing problems. The potential for harm is greatly magni- fied when a weapon is introduced into a situation and most introductions end in bloodshed. Strict policies and even stricter enforcement are a necessity to stay in pace with the ever-increasing threat of violence. Ignorance of the law can now not be used as an excuse. Though the right to pro- tect yourself is an integral part of our society today, the monumental abuse of this right dictates some regulations. These statutes � both state and univer- sity based � don't take the right away, only protect against misuse. JOE Of ALL TRADES Horst Stereotypes are the root of racist problems By David J. Jones The "power" of change is in the voters I recently had the opportu- nity to work with the Young Democrats in setting up for the political rally at which vice presi- dential candidate Al Gore spoke at Monday. Part of that work included handingout flyers to make people aware of the fact that Gore was coming and trying to get students to go and show their support When you are in a position of deal- ing with the public so directly, you expect to have to deal with all kinds of radicals, both right and left. With this knowledge as our armor we went out to face the masses and to distribute our fly- ers. What we met was not an on- slaught of people ready to tell us how wrong we were or how much better their ideas were than ours. We met lots of people who had no opinion. They did not care who was running in the election. They certainly did not care to hear what Gore had to say. We met a few people who were not even sure who Al Gore was much less what his and Clinton's platform was. Many people claimed to be Republican but had no idea what the Republican platform was. These same people had no more brains man to tell us mat the Demo- crats were nothing but a bunch of "liberals thathad been on the loose too long and needed to be shut down Believe it or not folks, these are the people that made me happy. Why, you aslc? Because, friends, at least these people had something to say to us. As 1 said earlier, most people greeted us with blank stares. I began to feel that all of our work to raise inter- est was a futile gesture because even if we could get people to go to the rally, what good would they do us on election day? The answer is none. Have smear cam- paigns and government inaction turned so many people away from politics? Apathy is- not the answer to solving problems within the land thatyou live. If it were, there would be no good in the world There would be no care societies and nobody willing to help fellow in- dividuals. Most importantly ,there would be no change. Change is what makes this world work. Con- stant change is an excepted part of life. No, this is not a pro Clinton article. Even though I am a regis- tered Democrat, lean see that the concept of change for change's sake is an idiotic one. What 1 am saying is if you are not registered to vote, get registered. You, as voter do make a difference. Yeah, 1 know the electoral sys- temhasa few shortcomings. Many people feel it is worthless because it is such an indirect process of voting on a president. That is not an excuse to keep your voice si- lent. If you don't like the system, do something about it. You have to put up with enough things in life that you can't control. Why put up with things thatyou can, to a certain extent, control? The an- swer again is that you should not. Personally I see some real faults with both candidates. 1 don't care much for Perot either, but I am still going to vote. Even if I wind up writing in a candidate of my choice,atleastlcansaylvoted. I can say that I am unhappy with the current system and that 1 voted against it. You would be amazed at how much better that can make you feel. Rather than feeling the reluctance of realizing that you could have made a differ- ence, you feel the security of know- ing that at least you tried. This concept does not ju st ap- ply to the presidential race. Within the next couple of years there will be an estimated 100 seats being turned over in Congress. You remember Congress, don't you? They're the people that change your life every time they pass a law. I sound a bit sarcastic here, but I'm doing it for a reason. Go ask your best friend or your roommate who is up for congres- sional reelection in the next;few years. Somebody out there write me. I'd like to know what the per- centages are on who did know and who did not know. I'd be willing to bet that the vast major- ity did not know. Why is this? Why don't we care? Apathy will do no good. You were given a mind, why not use it? No, I 'm not saying agree with me. I'm saying form your own opinions, research things, find out just what the heck is go- ing on out there in our world. If you disagree with things try to change them for the better. Even if you don't get what you want done you will have started some- thing. Voting is just a small part of this process of changing things. If you don't agree with what Bush stands for thenJon't vote for him. If you don't like Clinton's ideas don'tvoteforhim.Butpleasevote; voice your opinion. The suspicious-looking, car- stealing, illiterate, uneducated black man you see stand ing on the street corner.

Got your attention, now? Good. Put aside your righteous in- dignation for just one second,your cries of "Who does this guy think he is?" and let me tell you what all of these people have in common with each other. Stereotypes. Anyone who tells you that they don't have a prejudiced bone in their body is not really trying to convince you � they're also try- ing to convince themselves. In this day and age, it's damn-near im- possible to subscribe to some (if not all) of these generalizations. A person may get them from their parents, their grandpa rents�hell, even their great-grandparents. No one can really trace exactly where bias and prejudice begins, but this is as good a place as any to start. The South is infamous for being the hotbed for racial tension and prejudice. Don't let the people tell you that blacks are on an equal fooringhere in the lovely Emerald Qty�just go down to any one of the local bars downtown and you can count the number of African- Americans on both hands. How many people, when walking down the street, have crossed to the other side when they saw a black person coming towards them? That's not the only area where African-Americans have been stereotyped. From the size of a black man's sexual organ to his (supposed) superhuman ability to play any sport, preju- dices abound for anyone with dark skin. Mind you, African-Ameri- cans aren't the only people stereo- typed �just the most visibleones. Today, you can be stuffed into a nice, neat cubby-hole based on your sex alone.

"Oh, you know, the same old 9 to 5 routine, nothing spe- cial he answers, knowing that of; course his wife would never be capable of understanding what real work is. He reclines back in his La-Z-Boy, opens the newspa- per with an official-sounding rustle and asks the inevitable ques tion, "So, what's for dinner?" � Put the weapon down and hear me out. Now that I've fully offended half of this paper's readership with my sarcastic segue, let me wrap this up and make my point. It doesn't matter what your sex is or what your religious beliefs are � we're all in the same boat here, people. This tired old stubborn- ness to adhere to outdated beliefs only makes one look stupid and idiotic. There is no master race, no Jewish (or Japanese, or whoever it is now) plot to overthrow the world � we're all just trying to live our lives and get through one dayata time. Giving any credence to the drivel that is spouted by these hate groups and religious sects only promotes more of it Give mem an audience and they'll go on forever. Diverseness and differences are what has made America what it is today. A nation that recog- nizes that not one single belief is the right and only one. So when you find yourself subscribing to some prejudicial and biased opin-r ion and you don't even remember where you got it from, take a minute and think about it. Are they any different from you; I don't think so. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ECU beauracracy slows students The James R. Knisely, General Manager Jennifer A. Wardrep, Managing Editor Arthur A.

To the Editor: Is this a great university or what? I go to the library to kill 30 minutes or so. I ask to see The Journal. The lady says, "what?" I say You know, The Wall Street journal. She says, "Do you have any I.D.?" I show her my student cardand driver's license. She takes my driver's license and writes on a sheet of paper. She hands me the journal. I wait for her to return my license. She says, "We keep the license until you return the pa- per I sit down in one of the overstuffs�thinking, I must have the Dead Sea Scrolls grasped in my sweating palms instead of a Chapel Hill Alu While in Greenville this past weekend for a friend's wedding (Sept. 19), we picked up our first- ever copy of The East Carolinian. As students of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we were both impressed and disap- pointed with your paper. We found the layout and news com- mendable for a campus paper. We did, however, find one particular column disturbing. In David Jones' "A Bit O'Thought" column (Sept. 17) we found just that; only a Jit. Mr. Jones described an "election" a few years ago at Chapel Hill for Student Body President. We don't know which Chapel Hill Mr. Jones was in mat year or what election he was describing. Knowing most daily rag � read a little, and then I return the paper and get my li- cense back. And, you guessed it, she writes again. 1 try to get my schedule changed. After walking endless miles and being told no, no, no, no; I go to the Chancellor's office. The secratary spots my bookbag � a critical mistake on my part � and she tells me, "the Chancellor doesn't meet with students (On campus, the book bag is equiva- lent to the yellow star of david in Nazi Germany: a definite sign of mental weakness, moral deprav- ity and social inferiority to most of the beauracracy and the profes- sors.) I hear a voice. Does he exist? I think he's in his lair, shoulct I chance it � a shout, a bold en- trance? No. I make a few more feeble attempts to get my schedule changed, but my heart isn't in it. 1 give it up � failure. Now this is a great cumber- some beauracracy or what? Where no one has any authority except to enforce the rules and regulations of the beauracracy except the Chancellor, and he is unavailable. This letter is funny, isn't it? Albert A. Joseph Junior mni remember SGA election of the past decade's SBPs, it cer- tainly wasn't the election I think he wanted to describe or any re- cent elections. To borrow Mr. Jones' phrase, "in a nutshell" he's wrong. Re- membering the election and hav- ing checked the documents, it can be summarized as follows. There really was a candidate named Mark and one named Bill. So much for anonymity! Mark, a black student and friend of ours, and Bill were runningagainst three other students. To our knowledge party affiliation was not, as Mr. Jones suggests, a factor in the race. One candidate lost who wanted to fill The Tit with water and a foun- tain, another friend John (Bill, re- member him) lost after a strong bid, and Jonathan just plain lost. Mark and the real Bill did get into a runoff. Bill was elected Presi- dent, not anyone else, brought up onchargesofdefacingjohn's signs and was eventually acquitted by the student court. There was never anyone replaced. Nor was Mark ever charged or rumored to have funnelled money to his campaign from campus funds. Your memory isn't very good Mr. Jones. To our friends at ECU, we hope the rest of the article was not flawed as its beginning. Other- wise, we enjoyed the paper and look forward to our next visit to Pirate county. Patrick S.

Aglowingreview appeared in a Washington, D.C,newspaper maga- zineaboutCatherineWalker'swork. The review read, in part, "Walker's visions of light and movement ex- amine sensuality, spirituality and the dichotomy of human consciousness, revealing a peculiar balance of real and ethereal worlds The self-deprecating Walker guffawed when reading about her works being, according to the re- viewer, "a mastery of light and shadow Her works, particularly her lithographs, are strong light and shadow images thatmanage to radi- ate a subtle, earthy glow. Human bodies make up a large portion of Walker's subjects for her lithographs. The bodies frequently come together in her works in com- plicated, sometimes unclear visions. Walker found her way to the D.C. exhibit through the help of a friend in New York. The friend told her about a woman from Washing- ton who wanted to start a gallery ard would soon be searching through New York for young, emerging artists. Walker sent some of her works to the woman. Feed- back was favorable,andWalkerwas then given a one-person show in 1991. The current exhibit features 21 of Walker's drawings and nine of her lithographs. The gallery has sev- eral large showing rooms, which display the work of vai ious artists. Walker spends a huge amount of time in her studio. She said she loves to do her artwork, but added, 'Til do anything to procrastinate Walker acknowledges a strong interest in her work as a teacher, a job which at first intimidated her. She said she thinks people con- sis ten tly see herasbeingself-assured; but the thought of standing in front of a group of students to perform her teaching ritual scared her a lot at first Walker said her job experience here has opened her eyes about as- pects of teaching she never thought about before. "It takes an amazing amount of energy to teach. 1 remember as a student how hard I was working and now I can look back at that time and realize that I hardly recognized what hard work was. "It's amazing teaching begin- ning students who know very little because they improvesofast. It'sjust really neat to see and they could really get off on seeing how much they improve Walker was bom in London and went to art school there for a year. Twelve to 14 hours a day of school was the norm and grades were non- existent There was no pressure to do the work because everyone had a passionate interest in his or her work. Walker said success in art de- pends a lot on luck, but added, "You can make your own luck by sending stuff out all the time, by being made as visibleas possibleYou start to be recognized Her works, particularly lier lithographs, are strong light and shadow images that manage to radiate a subtle, earthy glozv.

Storyteller lectures on Appalachian Indians By David Jones Staff Writer The Iroquois Indians and Joe Bruchac �what a combination! Bruchac, a storyteller, started off his Sept. 23 show with a few- poems that have been published in various magazines. "Transplanting Trees" was about how life comes from life and that when you trans- plant a tree in order to save it, you are preserving a literal jewel of the earth. Bruchac began the f i rst of many short stories of the evening with "The Story of the Peacemakers It was a story of three Indians who went around to the five major In- dian nations of the northern Appa- lachian mountains. They were able to sway every leader to follow their cause of peace except one warrior chief. When all forms of reason went for naught in terms of a persuasive argument, the three Indians wrote and sang a song to the chief. He was so moved thatheimmediatelymade peace with the other four tribes and wenton to form the Leagueof Peace which lasts through today. Oneside of the American quarter pictures an eagle holding arrows in its claws. The arrows are representative of the League of Peace showing that five arrows bound together are much stronger that one individual arrow. Bruchac then went into the ex- tensive story behind the "Trail of Tears" and the famous Apache warrior Geronimo. Many memorable quotes came from Bruchac, including"Anything in moderation is good, except death He also spent a portion of theevening reading selections from many of his publications. He then proceeded to throw copies of these publications to the audience. He did this in a manner not unlike the way a drummer of a band throws his or her sticks into a crowd after a show. Bruchac also sang songs. He even tried to teach the audience an Ind ian song. There was a rule estab- lished at the beginning of the show that whenever Bruchac said "Ho the audience was to immediately say "Hey It served to keep those who were only partially interested in the show very awake and alert. Bruchac finished off theevening with two poems.Thesecond of these was "Birdfoot's Grampa Birdfoot felt that his grandfather was intol- erable because onenightwhen they were driving home in the rain, Grandpa insisted on stopping the car every time he saw a frog to assist it in crossing the street. Birdfoot insisted to his grandfather that they were in a hurry and simply did not have the time tq stop for every frog. Grandpa replied that the frogs had places to go also and that humans had no right to interfere with them. This poem exemplified Bruchac's attitude towards wildlife.

By Joe Horst Assistant Lifestyle Editor Folksinging and children's music are the basis of the Young Audience's Performing Arts Series opening performance, songwriter John McCutcheon. McCutcheon has been a popu- lar concert performer for almost 20 years. Though his records have been coming steadily out for the past 15 years, McCutcheon wasn't recog- nized until the 1983 release of his first children's album, Howjadoo. Howjadoo introduced a new birth- day anthem, a song about a rubber- blubber whale and captivated au- diences with his musical style of easy listening. McCutcheon, along with WoodyGuthrieand Raffi,has revo- lutionized the "family album" la- bel. Winning awards from Parents magazine and the American Library Association, McCutcheon offers music that both children and par- ents will enjoy. In performance, McCutcheon creates a unique brand of music by teaching lessons. Playing many dif- ferent instruments equally well, McCutcheon introduces each in- strument within their historical and ethnic framework. In one perfor- mance cansketcha picture show- ing the world as a great orchestra with each separate element com- bining to create a whole unity of sound. Season tickets for YAPAS are $25 for adults, $20 for ECU faculty and stiff and $15 for students and youth. Single-event tickets sell at $8 for adults, $6 for faculty and staff and $5 for studentsyouth. McCutcheon's performance at ECU will last about one hour. Fu- ture events scheduled include ap- pearances by the Fiddle Puppets and dramatic adaptations of "The Wizard of Oz" and "101 Dalma- tians Gymnasts to perform in Chapel Hill By Julie Totten Staff Writer On Friday, Oct. 2 the Smith Center in Chapel Hill will host The 1992 Tour Of Olympic and World Champion Gymnasts.

Several men unite for secret government operations when gov- ernment agents threaten to reveal theirshady, usually criminal pasts. Dan Aykroyd stars as Mother, a gadget-collector who has spent 18 months in jail for breaking and entering. Robert Red ford is Bishop, the head of a group of high-tech pro- fessionalsand experts whoare now hired to break into systems. As a college student in the '60s, Bishop and a friend Cosmo used rheevolvingcomputer technology to embezzle funds from the Re- publican Party to their own group, the Black Panthers. Sidney Poitier is Crease, a long- time worker for the CIA who was fired in 1987 for a reported "per- sonality conflict River Phoenix is 19-year-old Carl, a devilishly enterprising stu- dent who broke into his school's computer system to not only raise his grades but to give himself a scholarship. David Strathaim is Whistler, a blind "genius for sound and Mary McDonnell is Liz, Bishop's old Fair Continued from page 7 only fair in N C. mat is bringing the bungee to thrill-seekers. Wesley Boatwright, manager of Outer Banks Bungee, will bring the bungee operation to the fair each night of the week charging $39 for college students (with stu- dent I.D.) and $45 for the general public. While bungee jumpingis fairly new in the United States, it is not a new event in the world. Itbegan on an island in the Sou th Pacific within a band of Vanitu Indians. They would jump off bamboo towers with vines tied around their ankles to prove their "right to manhood Bungee jumping then moved to Australia and was brought to the United States in 1985 by Peter and John Kockelman of Palsalto, Calif. The brothers started jumping from bridges and eventually moved to cranes. The Kockelmans saw the potential for business by opening a training company stressing safety. They quit their engineering jobs with IBM and have been jumping ever since. Recently, there has been a lot of controversy aboutbungeejump- ing, according to Boatwright, be- cause of the accidents that have occurred. However, the majority of these accidents have been em- ployees who were not very con- cerned about safety. "When it is done correctly, bungee jumping is very save said Boatwright. The Outer Banks Bungee com- pany usesspecial bungeecords that are equipped with a safety line in- side the cord. If anything were to happen to the cord, the safety line would still hold the jumper. In ad- dition to the safety line, a large air bag is used to keep the jumper safe. Bruchac Continued from page 7 Joe Bruchac isa mediumheight, mediumbuild,medium everything looking guy. Yet, the averageness stops there. Bruchac is in posses- sionof a voice that sounds as smooth as velvet. His hand gestures, though subtle, fit perfectly into the presen- tation of his readings. Bruchac's stories and poems are full of high morals such as this. Over and over he stated that all people are of one circle. Bruchac said he was part Indian, part Ameri - can and part Afghani, among oth- ers. Based on this knowledge, Bruchac tells people he is a human being when they ask his national- ity. He claims no nationality, save that of the human race. flame and his current reluctant ac- complice. Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes, the Academy-Award nominated writers of War Games, wrote Sneakers with thehelp of Phil Alden Robinson. "In the 1960s, no one could have anticipated what a powerful tool the computer would be, or how dependent the world would become on it for storage and ma- nipulation of information said Parkes. "For as much good as it would contribute, the computer would also present us with a tremendous potential for crime. Suddenly, no information is really secure, and we are all faced with a threat to our privacy The idea for Stieakers originated at a computer convention in 1981. It was there that Parkes and Lasker first heard the term "Sneakers which referred to IBM's "kid pro- grammers Parkes and Lasker were later told by a small computer maga- zine editor the term was a label for hired experts who test the securi- ties of companies by secretly break- ing into them. Robinson, Parkes and Lasker collaborated to write the draft of the story. "The original idea was a high-tech Dirty Dozen said Robinson. "It didn't occur to us that it was taking a long time until we were about six years into the project The plot changed often through the years as research con- tinued and new political climates emerged. "Weall loved caper films and we never got bored with the characters said Robinson. "But our storylines ranged form "Three Days of the Hacker' to 'Raiders of the Lost Computer Other real inventions used in the movie include a Braille com- puter keyboard, an access control system known as the "Man Trap" and a voice stress analyzer. Sneakers also stars Timothy Busfield and George Heam. It is produced by Parkes and Lasker. Branford Marsalis ("The To- night Show with Jay Leno") pro- vided the sounds of the soprano saxophone. He worked with an 88-piece orchestra for Sneakers in the morn- ing and spent afternoons at NBC to perform on "Tonight CHICKENHEAD KEEP LOOKING! � D LIFESTYLE WRITERS Meeting at 5:45 p.m. today.

The fine art of being a zebra Recreational Services There isalotmoretobeinga zebra (also known as referees or officials) than dressing funny and blowing an annoying whistle. Zebras have many more responsibilities. In fact, they do all of them in the same instant. The job of a zebra is not only to enforce the rulesof the game,but they also have to ensure that game conditions are equal for both teams, make sure that playing conditions and environment are safe, control the flow of the contest, and watch for un-sportsman-like behav- ior and apply penalties when neces- sary. Pretty impressive for those of us who can't walk and chew gum at the same time! The most important aspect to re- member about officiating is that ze- bras are not your enemy. They are there for your well-being and that of fhegameitself.Sometimesit'shard to look at it that way when you feel that they have made a bad call, but no one is perfect and zebras can't see every- thing. Without them, sports would be so unorganized that it wouldn't be enjoyable. Zebras are your friends. Not just anyone can be a zebra. It takes special qualities to endure the warm tempera hi res and hot tempers. It takes dedication to do a good job at officiating. "Tobean effectiveofficial ittakes someone with dedication, commit- ment, and leadership assertiveness Gaskins said. "It takes someone who knows the rules and the spirit of them and then how to apply them Intramural officials are well trained in these aspects through the many officials meetings and clinics before each season. The intramural department holds three to fourclasses for the officials to train them for effi- ciency. They first learn the policies and procedures. Then they instruct of ficialson the rules and how to inter- pret them. After that, officials are taught about proper positioning. Finally, the prospective officials are ready to sport the polyester stripes and power-demanding whistle.They now get to step onto the court and show their stuff in some practice games with an experienced guide of- ficial. This hands on training gets you out on the playing field and teaches you the ins and outs of conducting a game. It is a true art. The zebras of the ECU intramural staff are well-trained and seem to enjoy their work. Some officials like Jeff Watson, have been an official for three years now, have mastered this art. "I've enjoyed being an official Watson said. "A lot of it is knowl- edge. You are there to keep a fair game anil hold the composure of the game and it's players. You don't have to be a master of rule interpretation. Rules are important but you have to ma keyour own decision. If it's not by the rules, you have to use your best judgement Remember, if you go to a game See Refs, page 10 Just do it, but beware Wire reports Most people think that buy- ing a,pair of sneakers any more is only slightly easier than choosing sides in the debate over cold fu- sion. And now comes one more thing to think about. Fakes. Few people know it � and few could tell the difference even if they did � but there is a wealth of counterfeit sporting goods floodingworld markets rightnow. The companies that make the shoes and tennis rackets and golf clubs that made this pasL week- end of recreation possible (not to mention expensive) assure us there is no need for panic-yet. Because beyond the T-shirt vendors who pop up like mush- rooms at the sites of many major sporting events, very few coun- terfeitgoodsappear to have made their way onto these shores. And the legitimate makers of those same goods dropped a nice piece of change last week to let the pub- lic and the Congress know that they intend to keep it that way. In its first-ever campaign aimed at customers, the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) bought a quarter-page advertisement in weekend edi- tions of USA Todav headlined "Knock-offs Are A Rip Off This time-honored cry of "Buyer Beware cost the association in the neighbor- hood of $25,000 � peanuts to a trade group out to protect an industry whose members shipped 531 billion worth of product to retailers last year. It sounds self-serving, but the es- sence of the SGMA's message is that you get what you pay for; that if you happen on flea market stall where those gel-cushioned, air-inflated, en- ergy-absorbing sneakers are selling at a price that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. "Consumers over here rarely, if ever, come in contact with counter- feit footwear said Mary Ann Alford, legal counsel for shoe manufacturer Reebok, one of the association's 1,800 member companies. It used to be that on walked into a store wearing leather street shoes and walked out a few minutes later in canvas ones with both your feet and your wallet only a little bit lighter. These days, though, you have to wade through phonebook-sized pamphlets extolling space-age ma- terials and using incomprehensible diagrams to explain every one of the 75 or so technical advances built in to the shoes, racket, clubs, etc. Then you have to decide whether the en- dorser � Bo, Michael, Magic, Dave or Dan? � best fits your image of yourself at play. By Thomas Barnes Staff Writer The East Carolina Water Ski Team finished 10th out of 14 schools this weekend in the South Atlantic Conference. UNC-Chapel Hill hosted this tournament which was held in Lexington, N.C at Clear Lake. Thorhas Barnes lead the team in slalom, finishing 14th out of 53 ski&rs, totalling 28.5 buoys. Barnes also led the team in trick skiing by finishing 29th out of 54 with a disappointing fall early in this trick run. Leading the team in the jumping division was Jason Humrick with a personal best. He completed two of his three jumps which made a large contribution to the team points. The East Carolina Water Ski Team is hop- ing for a much better weekend, after such a poor showing, when they go to the team trials for the Nationals in Milledgeville, Ga. at Lake Walmee next week. Photo from Recreational Services Don 'tlookdown! The Climbing Tower offersa recreation alternative to climbing the walls inyour room. Climbing to new heights And now you're going have to rethink all this every time some- bodv offers you a bargain? In a word, yes. At least if you plan to buy any of this stuff from anvbody besides a front-line retailer. According to the SGMA, some of the counterfeit goods look so good that they enter legitimate distribu- tion channels with ease. The major- ity of counterfeiters set up small, mobile operations in Korea and tar- get only those hard goods � shoes, shirts, tennis rackets and golf clubs � that can be knocked off cheaply and have some quality-control steps that on be cut out at a profit. Some pr(xiucts,suchas balls and baseball gloves, are made on mar- gins too slim to accommodate fakes. And other products, such as base- ball bats and helmets, are avoided because they can involve liability, which in turn draws scrutiny and ultimately, the authorities. Which brings up the second part of the campaign. Most mem- bers of the SGMA apparently are unhappv with the level of coop- eration from a number of govern- ments in the Far East, particu- larly Korea. And in addition to advertising, they plan to spend money lobbying the U.S. govern- ment to make those sentiments known to someof it - trading part- ners. Recreational Services Recreational services now provides a new expe- rience to the East Carolina community. The new climbing tower,called the Hard Rock Tower, is now available for the use of students, faculty, staff and occasional guests. The tower is located in the Allied Health field behind the Allied Health Building. It is a two-tiered structure with the first level being 20 feet and the second level 32 feet in height. The tower has six stations for a six-person capacity. The Hard Rock Tower is made of solid plywood and has foot holds made of natural rock. The tower is geared for various rangesof difficulty. Anyone can use it, whether a beginner or a seasoned pro. The hold settings are changed every now and again for the continued enjoyment of the tower's climbers. Instructional Workshops are held at the tower for perspective users. Climbing I teaches the basic terminology and beginning equipment useof climb- ing. Climbing II is for the more advanced climbers who wish to use the facilities. You can sign up for these instructional workshops at the Recreational Outdoor Center. The Hard Rock Tower is special because any- one can use the tower. No matter what kind or how much climbing you might have done, the tower is tor you. It is an excellent stress release and an outlet for frustration. Climbing can be an excellent prob- lem-solving activity because you don't compete against other individuals but you challenge your- self.

'Neon'moves to 'prime time' Wire reports When the Atlanta Falcons play at the Geor- gia Dome, one of the plush sky boxes will be fullof happy-go-lucky guests, compliments of happy-go-lucky Falcons star Deion Sanders. Officially,Sanderscutapersonalcheckfor an estimated $100,000 for the suite. Unoffi- cially, it was part of the delicate contract nego- tiations that brought Sanders back to the foot- ball team last week. The Georgia Dome offi- cials had been quietly asked by the club to reserve one of the suites for Sanders. He received an extra $100,000 from the Falcons in his complex package to use on the luxury box. Is it an outrageous act of generosity by the Falcons? Not at all. In many ways, Sand- ers was as responsible as anybody for selling the Georgia Dome suites. Without Sanders, the Falcons cannot play the gambling, blitzing defense that has made them successful. Without Sanders, the Falcons would have a reputation, but they wouldn't have a personal- ity. Sanders, Vice President of Flayer Personnel Ken Herock says, "is the greatest athlete I've ever seen Wait. What about Bo Jackson? "Bo Jackson couldn't play corner Herock says. "Deion can play wide receiver; he could play tailback. He can do anything Sure, it hurts that Sanders may miss Falcons games, but considering the alternatives-Sanders missing seven or eight games or not playing at all. Noway the Falcons are contenders without Deion. Accept Sanders for what he is � a once-in-a- lifetime athlete. Sure, he's brash.
