Witness says director of Public Safety ordered tap By Jeff Becker News Editor Witnesses testifying in the federal grand jury trial for the two former ECU employees charged with wiretapping vio- lations said administrators knew about the illegal record- ings. John Burrus, former cap- tain of investigations for Public Safety, and Teddy Roberson, former director of Telecommu- nications, tapped ECU phone lines in 1990 to investigate an employee suspected of illegal drug involvement. The trial be- gan Tuesday in U.S. District Court in New Bern. On Wednesday, Captain for Investigations Ernest Suggs testified that James DeTuy, di- rector of Public Safety, ordered Burrus to place a tap on the phone of Public Safety secre- tary Patricia Hair Bullock. "(DePuy) instructed Burrus to do what he did to the phone in the Telecommunica- tions Department Suggs said. In May of 1991), Roberson and Burrus taped the phone of Telecommunication employee Brooks Mill. Public Safety Capt. Stanley Kittrell informed the FBI of the wiretaps on Nov.4,1990. Kittrell testified Tuesday that before he went to the FBI, he discussed the matter with Suggs. He said Suggs told him he should re- main quiet about the taps. "I asked him why, and he said because John Burrus, Teddy Roberson, (Evan) Midgette, (as- sistant director of Human Re- sources), Jim DePuy, Richard Brown, (vice chancellor for Business Affairs) and possibly Chancellor Richard Eakin had knowledge of the wiretapping Kittrell said. " He told me it was something 1 couldn't handle The tap on Mills' phone led to an undercover operation in- volving Public Safety agent Michael Swinson. Posing as a student assigned to perform community service, Swinson tailed Mills for several weeks. On the witness stand, Mills denied charges that he gave pre- scription drugs to Swinson, but did admit he sold one quarter of an ounce of marijuana to him at his trailer 30 miles from ECU.

Doctor who transmitted AIDS applies at ECU By Tracy Ford Staff Writer A physician from Virginia is still being considered for a faculty position at ECU Medical School after being reprimanded by Vir- ginia medical review panel for possibly infecting a patient with the HIV virus through artificial insemination. Dr. Robert J. Fierro was rep- rimanded and fined $5,000 by the Virginia panel for acting "contrary to sound medical judgment" when he artificially inseminated a pa- tient with her HlV-infected husband's sperm. The artificial insemination failed and the woman contracted the AIDS virus from her hemo- philiac husband who had con- tracted the virus earlier from a blood transfusion. "He would have to be li- censed in the state of North Caro- lina to practice medicine before any kind of discussion would con- tinue said Tom Fortner of the information and publications of- fice at ECU's medical school. The Virginia panel also re- served the right to restrict Fierro's license in Virginia should he re- turn. His employment at ECU medical school is contingent upon receiving a North Carolina license to practice medicine. Brian Paris of the North Carolina Medical Examiners Board said thatalthough he could not comment on this particular case, the application approval could take as little as a week if the applicant does not have to appear in front of the review board. "Any applicant may be re- quired to be interviewed by the full board Davis said. "We issue over 1,000 licences in a year. Not all of those physiciansare required to meet with the full board Dr. Darnell Jones, chair of the ECU Department of Obstet- rics and Gynecology said that he doesn't think Fierro understood the consequences of his actions and that he didn't mean to mis- lead ECU officials at the medical school. "I would not recommend to anyone to try this Fierro told the Virginia panel. "There are limits to what we should do to try to help patient. In retrospect, I got carried away He also told the panel that he regretted being so eager to help the couple who desperately wanted a baby. "I don't think hedeliberately pulled the wool over our eyes Jones said.

Nance Mize, director of rec- reational services, said the plans are on schedule as of now. "Based on a plan that began five years ago, we are on sched- ule she said. "We are now in the design development phase The design development phase involves the finalizing of the exterior of the building and deciding what rooms will be adja- cent to each other inside the facil- ity, Mize said. The next step is the construc- tion document phase, which will involve the drawing up of the ac- tual blueprints for the new facil- ity.

However, a good part of the population still does not know all the facts about this disease, particularly in relation to testing procedures. Jennifer Phillips, a health educator of Stu- dent Health Services, said students have shown an interest in AIDS testing. "I have had a lot of phone calls from people interested in where they can get tested Phillips said. "1 think that it's a major concern today The "test for AIDS" is actually a test for the HIV antibody, Phillips said. Antibodies are built bv the body's defense system when it is infected with a virus. After being diagnosed as HI V posi- tive (which means the HI V antibodies are present), a person mav or may not get AIDS. For example, Magic Johnson is currently HIV positive, but does not have AIDS. Currently, no test is available that can de- termine who will achieve full-blown AIDS status after being diagnosed as HIV positive. The aver- age incubation period, after initial infection to full-blown AIDS symptoms, is about 9.6 years. Of those thatare diagnosed with full-blown AIDS, three out of four will die within two years. HIV infection has been documented through several route?. Three of the most com- mon are: contact ith semen, vaginal fluids and blood; anal or vaginal intercourse; and transfer from mother to child, including breast milk. Oral- genital sex is also a possible means of transmis- sion, but the degree of risk is still unknown because of other high-risk behaviors that may be practiced along with it. A major misconception about transmis- sion is that latex condoms are 100 percent pro- tection against the AIDS virus. On the contrary, condoms may lessen the risk of HIV transmis- sion, but do not eliminate the chance of trans- mitting the virus. Current HIV testing yields one of two results: ? Negative ? means person was not in- fected or antibodies were too low to be detected. This result could also mean that antibodies are not yet produced. Though antibodies usually take from three to six months to develop, it may take up to one year. ? Confirmed positive ? means person is infected with HI V and that person may transmit HIV to others. Though a person may test negative for HIV antibodies, the only way to be sure that he or she is uninfected is to have another blood test three months, six months and maybe 12 months after possible exposure. One instance of unpro- tected sex or needle sharing would mean that the person must start the testing cycle over. The Pitt County Health Department of- fers free and anonymous testing in Greenville at 752-4141. Though ECU's Student Health Services does not offer HIV testing, further information and material on AIDS is avail- able.

Within hours of the final vote in the House, lawyers for Turner Broadcasting filed a federal law- suit in Washington, D.C challeng- ing key provisions of the bill. In addition, lobbyists on both sides of the issue were expected to flood the FCC with suggestions on implementing the regulatory guideline The FCC has consider- able leeway in deciding which rate regulations are adopted. The cable industry has re- peatedlvsaid thatthebill will cause rates to rise because it burdens them with extra costs. Nonethe- less, consumer advocates praised the bill and said that many cable TV subscribers might actually see lower rates as soon as six months from now. Turner's lawsuit challenges the must-carry provisions in the legislation, which require cable TV systems to carry most major local over-the-air TV stations at the re- quest of the broadcaster. A broad- caster would have to chose be- tween must-carry and so-called "re-transmission consent which allow the local TV station to nego- tiate a license fee to be carried by the cable system. "Must-carry" regulations have twice been found unconsti- tutional by the courts. Cable TV systems currently carry the heavily-watched local TV stations for free, while sometimes paying hefty fees to carry the less- watched cable channels. Cable channels such as Turner, owner of CNN, fear that if cable systems must pay to carry local TV stations then that may force cable channels off the dial or reduce their fees. "The four Turner networks (CNN, Headline News, TNT and TheCartoon Network) collectively spend $700 million on program- ming, about one-third what each network spends said Bert Carp, Rec vice president of government rela- tions for Turner. "It is not a level playing field Although Turner won a 1985 court decision stri king down must- carry provisions adopted by the FCC, cable bill supporters none- theless said that it will be much more difficult to overrule this time because the Congressional statutes provide an "adequate rationale But it is not even clear how manv broadcasters will seek re- transmission consent and try to negotiate some kind of payment from cable systems. "I plan to talk about it with my lawyer next week promised John Conte, owner of KMIR-TV in Palm Springs, Calif. ? the highest cable TV penetration market in the country. Todd Holmes, vice president of KSEE-TV in Fresno, Calif said that he's begun informal discus- sions with local cable operators, but does not know what he'll do, either. Until the court decides on the Turner suit, which was ex- pected to be joined in the ccming days and weeks by others, the cable companies are scrambling to se- cure their ground. The cable industry says that me new legislation will increase rates, despite rate-control language in the bill, because it also allows cable operators to recover their higher expenses. "The bill states we get to re- cover 'actual costs' in rate-making proceedings, and to the extent a local broadcaster can extract a dol- lar, that's actual cost said Bob Thomson, vice president of gov- ernment affairs for Denver-based cable giant Tele-Communications Inc. "To the extent it requires us to install additional equipment like converter boxes, that too is actual costs TCI, which serves one-fifth of the country's cable subscribers, has said it will not pay re-trans- mission fees. The FCC has six months to implement the guidelines of the cable TV bill and must determine what are "reasonable" rates for basic cable service. Continued from page 1 with Hastings and Chivetta out of St. Louis, MO. The latter has constructed over 70 recreation centers at other colleges and uni- versities across the country. The new building, which is estimated to be an $18 million project, will take up about two acres of land. Mize said they have designated the area beside Mendenhall StudentCenter from Ninth Street to Seventh Street, and from Mendenhall to Ringgold Towers for the center. She said 250 parking spaces will be removed for the project. Mize said the facility, which will encompass 150,000 square feet, will include a multi-sports forum with six basketball courts, 11,000 square feet of free and fixed weight facilities, three aero- bic multi-purpose rooms, an in- door track that will encircle the multi-sports forum, an indoor pool with a "raindrop" fountain, an outdoor pool with large sundeck, an indoor climbing wall, seven racquetball courts and a squash court. Mize said that the new rec- reation center will replace much of the activity that now occurs at Christenbury gymnasium and Minges coliseum. As it is now, many students have trouble using recreation fa- cilities before 3 p.m. because of physical education classes. Two years ago, $26 was added to the recreational services fees that students pay to help finance the new center. Mize said that since then, no additional fees have been added. "This facility will be a tre- mendous asset to the university, which has not had any new rec- reation facilities since 1951 Mize said.

In a 30-minute commercial on CBS that he described as "our first town hall the independent presidential candidate offered a grim assessment of America's de- clining competitiveness and "staggering" debt, mixed with such homilies as "It's pretty simple" and "Let's raise the hood and go to work The tone of the 30-minute program, which cost the billion- ai re Texan $380,000, was a marked contrast to the 30-second attack ads that President Bush and Democratic nominee Bill Clinton have been airing. It was the first of several "infomercials" the in dependent candidate plans to broadcast; the second, costing $620,000, is scheduled to air Fri- day night on ABC Perot made no direct appeal for votes, closing his lecture by saying, "Pick the president that you believe has the ability to get the job done for you and your children He cited a 20 percent pov- erty rate among children as "the reason I'm willing to put my fam- ily through all of this. Not a single minute of this is pleasant. There's not a single second of this that anyone would do for fun The ad's austere quality was evident as Perot, seated behind a desk, used chart after chart to il- lustrate the nation's economic decline. Without naming names, he assailed the Reagan and Bush ad- ministrations for policies that al- lowed the rich to get richer while the federal government ran up a $4 trillion debt. "We were just like little boys playing with money said Perot, who wrote the script. "It was 'The Bonfire of the Vanities It was 'The Predators' Ball Guess who picks up the tab He also man- aged to mention bank robber Wil- lie Sutton and Marie Antoinette. Perot promised "solutions" in future programs, but avoided them last night. He spoke of the rising gasoline prices but did not mention his proposed 50-cent in- crease in the gas tax. He illustrated the growth of entitlement programs but steered clear of his proposal to trim cost- of-living increases for Social Se- curity and Medicare. Perot castigated the Bush administration on several points. He charged that the administra- tion is planning "a $60 billion sur- prise" after the election to finance the continuing bailout of ailing savings and loan associations. (The Resolution Trust Corp which is dealing with failing S&Ls, recently asked for an additional $43 billion.) Perot said the Republican administrations were filled with dozens of officials who left to be- come lobbyists for foreign coun- tries, which he called "economic treason In an apparent reference to the Bush campaign, he said some foreign lobbyists, whom he likened to "Russian spies are now working for presiden- tial campaigns. Thecomputermagnatecom- plained that the United States was spending $100 billion a year to defend Europe and Asia. "We're broke and they're rich. Think about it he said. Perot also got in some popu- list digs, saying Washington was a place of "perks and privileges" where top officials had indoor ten- nis courts, reserved parking spaces and official barbers. Although the ad, with its simple editing and lack of visu- als, broke all the conventional rules for holding viewers' atten- tion, that may have enhanced Perot's "plain talk" appeal. Politi- cal analysts said they were im- pressed. "What's unusual and fright- eningly seductive about a diatribe like this is that for most Americans this is the first economics lesson they've ever had said Republi- can consultant Jay Severin. "It could be devastatingly effective. It was broadcast rabble- rousing, Li'l Abner Live Democratic consultant Rob- ert Shrum called the program "a devastating indictment of Reagan and Bush, and in that sense very helpful to Clinton. It had low production val- ues and high content ? you're not sure whether you're watch- ing him or a (comedian-impres- sionist) Dana Carvey skit ? but the way he did it may have worked to his advantage. It focuses you very heavily on the content The ads were made by Murphy Martin, a former Dallas anchorman who has worked with Perot since the late 1960s, when he helped Perot organize an airlift for prisoners of war in Vietnam. Martin said he has also pre- pared 30-and 60-second and five- minute spots, some biographical and some issue-oriented. In July, during Perot's ear- lier presidential campaign, the bil- lionaire dismissed prominent ad- vertising consultant Hal Riney, saying his commercials were too slick and expensive. Days before announcing he would not run for president, Perot asked Martin to shoot some cheaper ads. Martin continued taping commercials throughout the summer, despite Perot's July 16 announcement. U.N. resolution could lead to war crimes trials The Washington Post UNITED NATIONS ? The ,U.N. Security Council, in a further effort to halt atrocities in the former Yugoslav republics, unanimously adopted a resolution Tuesday night that diplomats said might " ultimately lead to the creation of a war-crimes tribunal. It stops short of making an ? explicit recommendation for a Nuremberg-style mechanism. In- stead, it calls for creation of a "com- missionofexperts" toexamineand analyze evidence of war crimes "with a view" to providing its con- , elusions to U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who could then recommend "further appro- priate steps French Ambassador Jean Bernard Merimee told the Secu- rity Council it was "important to send a clear warning to the perpe- trators of these violations "This is not the most robust thing possible a Western official said, adding, however, that "it's more than existed before, it's a step forward. It's a lot more hard- hitting than anything done since Nuremberg The resolution is the second dealing with atrocities in the former Yugoslav republics. On Aug. 13, the Security Council adopted resolution 771, which called on countries and interna- tional humanitarianorganizations to collate information on human rights abuses. Boutros-Ghali was invited to recommend additional measures. So far, it appears that only the United States has responded, with a report of more than 50 inci- dents, most of them committed by Bosnian Serbs, including allega- tions of torture and mass execu- tions. No U.N. agencies or person- nel appear to have volunteered data even though previously re- leased documents indicate the or- ganization is aware of a variety of reported incidents.

The Western diplomat said the intent of the Council's action in adopting the resolu tion was to sig- nal its seriousness in stopping abuses linked to "ethnic cleans- ing" ? the Serbs' term for forcibly removing non-Serbs from territo- ries they claim. He noted that the earlier resolution had failed to stop the abuses. "This time, we're saying that we really mean it he said.

Mail-in regis- this means that neither party could reap the tration would also have been a convenient benefits of increased voter turnout until the requirement in all states if the president's 1996 election, veto had been overridden. It is an unfortunate fact that the majority The three methods of registering indi- of Americans are not registered to vote. And, cated in the bill targeted many diverse groups by not registering, most of these people choose of our society, giving politicians more of the to ignore the tangled web of political mud- votes they are looking for. Low income fami- lies, the 18-25 age group and anyone else who has not taken the time to register to vote are all being targeted in voter registration drives across the country. Funny that President Bush would not slinging known as a democracy. Perhaps a simplified system of registering to vote, such as the one outlined in the motor-voter bill, would help to increase the political knowl- edge of the general American society. How- ever, until Congress decides to put a little want to take advantage of these potential pressure on our fearless leader, Mr. Bush, votes when given the chance to pass the bill, voter apathy will continue JOE OF ALL TRADES By Joe Horst Rec center creates, not solves problems The room is softly lit, with cigar smoke rising into a hazy cloud above the board members' heads as they discuss the impor- tant issues concerning ECU. "Well, what's next on the agenda?" rasps the white-haired, : bespectacled man sitting at the I head of the table. "Campus beau- j tification? More tapping of phone : lines? Hmm, anyone? Anyone?" "Well, sir Howaboutanew j recreational center that will re- ; move 250 parking spaces from ; campus? We don't really need it, . but hey, has that ever stopped us before?" The small voice pipes up from somewhere down the long mahogany table that glows with a light of its own. "Excellent proposal. We can raise the students' fees once again and make up some excuse about it being desperately needed A smile lights up his face, making him resemble some predator about to pounce on a poor defenseless animal. "Well, let's get to work on mis grand idea. I want a team effort here ? everybody contributing and pullinghisown weight. Heck, we can even say it was the stu- dents' idea ? it's great He leans back in his rich leather chair and chuckles deeply, echoing through- out the entire campus. And thus the new recreation center was born. ? "Boohahahaha now we have them where we want mem OK, maybe 1 exaggerated a little. All right, a lot. But, who knows? I could be closer to the truth than anybody knows or the university would like me to be. Stories have run stating that 95 to 99 percent of students polled were in favor of the new center being located by Mendenhall. (See The East Carolinian, 71791, page 1) But did the university poll the students as to whether or not they wanted the damn thing first? We know where they want it to be, but couldn't that be because they thought it was going to be built no matter what? One of the major arguments for the recreational center being built was that students had com- plained that they were not able to get into the existing centers before 3 p.m. because of regular classes. Now in my experience, a person can walk into Christenbury to ex- ercise starting from 6 a.m. The pool is also open some- time in the morning and the gym is open around noon, I think. (Yeah, I know, vague as hell) Now if Minges is worse than Christenbury, there's some point to the argument. But does it justify spending $18 million on this new center? That's a hell of a lot of zeros being spent to ease one center's prob- lems. ? "Shhhh, if we're really quiet, they won't hear us And now?di um roll, please ? the big event. "Ladies and gentlemen, un- der the big top, we have the MAIN ATTRACTION! For your enjoy- ment and entertainment, we have ? in this ring, superfluous and unneeded details to the new cen- ter "In the second ring, we have the loss of 250 parking spaces to ease problems of commuters on campus "And to round out our three- ring circus ? two acres of land that could be put to better use are going to be wasted The crowd cheers (or is it jeers?) wildly and jumps to their feet. The Greatest Farce on Earth is about to start. ? "Uh, oh?you've gone and done it now Let us bow our heads and think deeply about these concepts. First off, looking at the list of planned rooms and ideas for mis center makes me realize that the only thing missing is a partridge in a pear tree. 11,000 square feet of weight room space? An indoor pool with a "raindrop" fountain? Best of all, an indoor climbing wall? Did the university think that Christmas came early? Food for thought. Second on the list, parking could possibly be considered the worst problem this campus has facing it right now. So, to solve this massive task, the university decides to remove 250 spaces with the promise to replace them in the future. Is it just me, or does this seem back-asswards to anybody else? To pound that last nail on this rotting coffin, two acres that could bedistributed better are being lost to this monster endeavor. Plus, the other land that will be clut- tered up with heavy construction machinery hasn't even been ad- dressed yet. This may be old rhetoric and hashed and rehashed, but those construction dates are getting closer and closer. Students are re- signed to this thing happening anyway, so what does a little bit more matter? Ah, apathy is a wonderful thing. Give me more of that. The East Carolinian James R.

Everything in this book is right and you must be prepared to confront that reality. You can no longer be an honest liberal after reading this entire masterpiece. Throughout the book you will be challenged, because you will actu- ally be persuaded to the conserva- tive point of view. Whether you can admit this in the end will be a true test of your mettle as a human being The book is The Way Things Ought To Be and the author is Rush Limbaugh III, and he is to the cause of conservatism what the late Abbie Hoffman was to liberalism, only much more effective. Limbaugh has got the most- listened-to radio talk show in the nation, drawing almost 12 million listeners each week. Limbaugh has got a book on the New York Times best seller list (see above) that has been there for going on th ree weeks. And starting a couple of weeks ago, Limbaugh has his own televi- sion show seen on TV stations across thecountry. Limbaugh, sim- ply and plainly, is a hit. This is no fluke. We conservatives have long CAMPUS SPECTRUM beenawarethatbeingblessed with right-mindedness has its down- side. Nowhere are we safe from the perverting barrage of the liberal media. Jesse Jackson has his own talk show called Both Sides, (a mis- nomer if ever there was one); Dan Rather propagates his subtle yet insidious brand of liberal news re- porting every weeknight at 6:30; and even C-SPAN, with its live coverage of the Democratically con: trolled Congress, has become a participantinspreadingliberal ide- ology across the country. Finally, someone comes along who realizes that conservatism and truth are usua lly one and the same. "And says Ted Koppel, "you ig- nore him at your peril Limbaugh comes outwith bom barrels blazing in his book, on his TV show and on the radio. He's smart, (takingon the liberals "with one-half his brain tied behind his back"), funny and insightful. Limbaugh tells us the way things ought to be in the United States and the world, and he does it with a witty cynicism that takes the edge off of wha t can sometj mes be sharp realities. Limbaugh pulls no punches in his assault on the assault on the inanities of activist liberals, mili- tant feminists and "femi-Nazis Animal rights activists, gay-rights activists and liberal do-gooders are whathecalls "compassion fascists And Rush skewers Ted Kennedy so frequently and so well that I sometimes feel sorry for the sena- tor myself. In one section of his book, Limbaugh suggests that a movie be made of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings. Some possible titles for the film include My Left Foot In My Mouth; Driving Miss Sleazy; I Wish I Had Three Men and A Baby A Pack of Lies ?Now; Desperately SeekingClarence; and From Smear to Eternity. Now you see why stations that carry his TV show run a disclaimer at the beginning. Limbaugh is definitely a phe- nomenon. I think most of his ap- peal is that he says what needs to be said ? what a lot of us would like to say if we could ? and he says it well. Political commentator Jeff Greenfield sums up Limbaugh's appeal succinctly. "His reach is to a new segment of con- servatives ? working class, younger, humorous. They love sat- ire; they like rock'n'roll music. And Rush Limbaugh, among other things, is really funny Catch Limbaugh if you can. You'll be enlightened and enter- tained, conservatives and liberals alike. Columnist should identify racism cases (This letter is in referetice to Joe Horst's column in the Oct. 1 issue.) To the Editor: Thanks ever so much for the conscience-stirringdiatribeyou put forward in the Oct. 1 East Carolin- ian alerting me to the dark biases and prejudices that so cloud my thoughts and deeds. Heaven knows, I needed it. Why, it had been a full 15 minutes or so since some media crusader had re- minded me that everybody who's not female, black, Chinese or Jew- ish is basically a narrow-minded pig (if we truly and honestlyexam- ine ourselves, that is.) Specifically, yourgut-wrench- ing examples of prejudicial think- ing would most likely emanate from a white male who probably professes to be a Christian. There- fore, due to the fact that you omit- ted other examples of prejudice, I'm curious to know if it's okay to assume that: ?An Italian-American man is probably in the Mafia? ?An Irish-American is a likely candidate for Alcoholic Rehab? ?White Anglo-Saxon Protes- tants hate everybody and live to impose their values on everyone? ?Any white, male, manual la- borer who wears a dirty baseball cap (bill forward) is an ignorant redneck? ?Non-feminist women are prudes? ?African-American conserva- tives are self-serving traitors to their race? Also: ?While you were busy count- ing black faces in bars predomi- nantly patronized by whites, did you bother going to any predomi- nantly black-patronized bars to count white faces? Did you see any signs advising "shirt, shoes and white skin required?" ?Since you defined the south as "infamous for being the hotbed for racial tension and prejudice should I explain to my little south- ern offspring that Detroit (43 killed in 1967 race riots), Newark, N.J.(26 killed during five days of race riots in 1967), Los Angeles, Wounded Knee Creek, and the Little Big Horn are just places Southerners moved to before all the trouble started? Do I just pass of as flukes a black gov- ernor of Virginia, a female gover- nor of Texas and a black mayor of Atlanta? ?Do you think stereotypes against African-Americans are the most visible because they get the most press? Do you think equal visibility is deserved by African- Americans like Shelby Steele, a professor of English at San Jose State University who has said "vic- tim-focused black identity makes you more passive, it makes you more demoralized, it robs you of individual initiative We're so busy seeing ourselves as victims, seeing racists everywhere, that we're unable to see opportunity and simply unable to take advan- tage of it?" If you say the Shelby Steeles of this world don't deserve more press because there are so few of them, then why do you sup- pose Concerned Women for America (a conservative,anti-femi- nistorganization)gets so much less press than the much smaller Na- tional Organization for Women (NOW)? Do you think people who write articles like yours might be reacting to voices that are scream- ing at them rather than listening to the quieter voices that attempt to communicate through concerned reason? I'm just curious, Joe; just curi- ous. Because you know, I see a lot of compassion and cooperation in myneckof the woods. You seem to say that our society is dominated by prejudices and stereotypes, but in saying so you imply that white men are the principle source of all this hatred. Isn't that a stereotype, too, Joe? If there is any value to what Steele says, could you be hurt- ing more than just white men? It seems to me that a blanket accusation of widespread prejudice only makes people suspicious of each. But we know that prejudice andstereotypesexist,don'twe,Joe? I've got an idea! Instead of waving a pontifical hand over us ignorant masses, why don't you use that powerful pen of yours and go ou t and identify specific cases of prejudice and racism? Name names. Give us something we can really chew on! That would be a novel approach through which you could really earn the title "watch- dog of society Do it, Joe; and while you are, don't restrict yourself to looking for white racists and male chauvinists. Investigate the remote possibility that persons of other nationalities, races and gender might harbor unjustified hatred. If you do this, Joe, then we can work together on correcting this prob- lem ? one misguided human be- ing at a time. Wouldn't that be something? Wouldn't it be amazing to see that somebody at The East Carolinian could writesomethingsubstanrive and courageous instead of just re- gurgitate fashionable rhetoric? Michael J.

The crowd at Localpalooza in Raleigh Saturday moshed to the tunes of their favorite bands. The Lubricators, the Usuals, Follow For Now, Photo by BIH Hanson ? TEC Johnny Quest, Dillon Fence and the Sex Police all jammed in a fashion not unlike the annual Lollapalooza festival. Localpalooza rocks Raleigh By Warren Sumner Staff Writer Localpalooza, a nine-hour showcase of six bands popular in the Raleigh area, treated an esti- mated crowd of 4,000 to an outdoor celebration of rock and roll music, chased with a bit of Democratic political philosophy. Performing at the event were the Lubricators, the Usuals, Follow For Now, Johnny Quest, Dillon Fence and the Sex Police. Blessed with clear skies and peaceful fans, the show, produced by WZZU ra- dio, Ultimate Entertainment and J&J Productions and held at Raleigh's Trinity Farms,started in typical rock and roll fashion ? 30 minutes late. With the help of the Raleigh sunshine, the Lubricators warmed the crowd, as they kicked the show off with their brand of straight- ahead rock. Using the Seattle-type guitar sound, popularized by northwest- em bands such as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, the local Raleigh band brought people to their feet, not an easy task for an opening act. Even moreimpressive than diehard driving songs of the band was the ability of Lubricators frontman Kenny Roby to entertain the crowd during the breaks in the music. Roby, after belting out the vo- cals to the Lubricator's "Rust Along With You informed the crowd, that given his affinity for punk music, he would rather live in the Old West, a place he considered "thepunkestofall Bassist Jack Cain, not to be out- done, told the listeners that K-Y jelly (no doubt a principal influence in the name of his band) did exist in this time and therefore gave the band respect for this period in his- tory. The Lubricators maintained both energy and humor through- out their 45-minute set, and kept fans primed for the Usuals, who were next in the show's impressive lineup. The Usuals covered some of the greatest classic rock songs of all time to make the attentive fanscheer, and still provided them with origi- nal tunes to listen to. Singer Greg Woods and GuitaristPat Dickenson led the stage show while bassist Tracy Cain and drummer Doug Crumpler laid down a pumping groove that had fans moving on the grass. The highlight of the Usuals show was their cover of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" which brought roars of approval from the fans. Next up were Atlanta's Follow For Now, who have played two exciting shows in Greenville's own New Deli. Providing the fans with the fi rst sounds of funk for the after- noon, Follow For Now played a 45- minute set promoting racial unity and speaking out for civil justice. The band, with a video and a debut album on Chrysalis records, was previously scheduled to per- form at a fraternity in Raleigh later in the evening, but did not short the fans on an energetic performance. After this band finished, the first of tine evening's "heavy hitters" was due to perform. When Johnny Quest took the stageat twilight, a tremendous roar erupted from the excited audience. The band immediately began their rap-and funk-influenced show with fansslam-dancingand stagediving throughout. Security guards al- lowed the fans to jump off the stage throughout Quest's 75-minute set, and ejected no one from the show, a rarity in live performances. Singer Joe Farmer, at the end of each song, would command fans See Localpalooza, page 8 Beethoven explored by performing duo By Chandra Speight Staff Writer Cellist Selma Gokcen and pianist John O'Brien have travelled the globe as a musical duo performing the works of Beethoven. Now the two artistshaveconcurred to bring North Carolinians a thorough examination of the life, works and times of Beethoven. "Beethoven and His Time: A Journey Into His World" will be pre- sented by Gokcen, OBrien, Dr. Bodo Nischan of the ECU history depart- ment and Dr. McKay Sundwall of the ECU English department. Gokcen and O'Brien will explore the music of Beethoven through three concerts. The concerts will be supplemented by poetry readings and history lee tu res given by Sundwall and Nischan. Dr. John Tilley,aIso of the history department, will exhibit photographs relevant to Beethoven's time and works. The concept of "Beethoven and His Time" is to join history, literature and music in order to give the audience a more thorough understanding of the mentality behind Beethoven's compositions. The office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at ECU supported this project through a grant which has been designed to further interdisciplinary collaborations. The performances premiered in Raleigh Sept. 30 in Meredi th College's Carswell Auditorium. In Greenville, the performances began Oct. 1 and run three consecutive Thursdays in ECU's Hetcher Music Center Recital Hall at 8 p.m. 'Singles' relies on cliched love By Ike Shibley Staff Writer Commentary ) Reality check: By Dana Danielson Lifestyle Editor Driving down the road with the win- dows down, a full tank of gas and favorite tunes singing away the miles.

Singles, the newest film from the writer of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, could be described as a "Little" Chill, a St. Elmo's Fire for the nineties or as "hventysomething Unfortunately not one of these descriptions could be construed as complimentary. Sadly, this tale of love among the post- adolescent set fails miserably as a film. Singles ostensibly advertised itself as an ensemble piece. The story really revolves around a central couple, Steve and Linda (played by Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick,respecnvely).Therestofthechar- acters inhabit many scenes of the film but they never become a presence. Steve works as an engineer in Seattle working on a proposal for a supertrain to alleviate the traffic gridlock that plagues thecity. He desperately wants to fall in love but fears continued rejection, so he applies himself diligently to his job. Linda works tirelessly for an environ- mental organization trying to make the world a little cleaner and a little saner. She too devotes herself to her job so that she will not have to think about a relationship. When Steve and Linda meet in a club one night their eventual love becomes im- mediately obvious to the audience?but not to them. For ninety minutes the audi- encesuffers through the tried and trite tribu- lations of this couple. WhenSteveand Linda experience rocky times in their relationship theeventual con- clusion remainsapparent. Singles telegraphs all its plot lines well in advance. The viewer feels helplessly bored as thecharacters play out their histrionics only to realize that, like all cliched Hollywood couples, they must eventually realize their burning passion in the final reel. Janet (Bridget Fonda) and Cliff (Matt Dillon) trials and tribulations of living the single life. Regrettably, Steve and Linda's rela- tionship is only one of several in the film to follow this boring Hollywood formula. Janet (Bridget Fonda) loves Cliff (Matt Dillon), a member of a local group, Citizen Dick, struggling to win an audience. Of course, Cliff takes Janet for granted which causes Janet undue anxiety. Only when Janet leaves Cliff does he realize his passion for her. The romance between Janet and Cli ff is more nauseatingly cliched than the one between Steve and Linda. Linda finally realizes that Cliff loves her when he says "bless you" in the elevator. Earlier Janet broke up with Cliff because he ignored her when she sneezed. Is the audience sup- posed to relate to people who use criteria like this to forge a relationship? Photo court?sy Warner Bros. in Warner Brothers' latest film about the A minor plot line involves Debbie (Sheila Kelley)strugglingthrough romance only to find a rich, older man to make all her dreams come true. Though the story only occupies a small fraction of the film, its condescending triviality accentuates the painful banality of this film. To exacerbate the pitiful situation of this film Cameron Crowe, the writer and director, interspersesconversationsdirectly with the camera. Cliff talks of love while delivering flowers. Steve tells the audience of his past loves. Janet swoons over the wonders of Cliff. In Singles, the effect is jarringly intru- sive. The asides these characters have are briefand intermittent.

Guitarist Bill Ladd complemented the rhythm section with intense rhythm guitar. After the tumultuous finale ol Johnny Quest, the fans were treated to what is probably the biggest drawing band in the Raleigh area, Dillon Fence. Entertaining their fans with soulful vocaU and catchv melodies, Dillon Fence proved to be the stars of the evening, playing nearly ,m hour and a half to a crowd that adored them. Singer Greg Humphreys said that the show made the band extremely happy and felt it did much to prom te his group to vounger fans from local high schools. Dillon Fence treated the crowd to their most popular songs, "Sad Inheritance "Hev Mockingbird and "Something For You "and ro- videdtheevening's highest point of irony when it performed, as its en- core,thehard rock-standard "Rain- bow in the Dark" by Dio. According to Saint Mary's stu- dent Nena Cavallona, Dillon Fence is likelv to continue it s success on a national level. "1 just know 1 Hllon Fence will make it big she said. With fans young and old cheering Dillon Fence's performance, the stage was set for the evening's head- Singles lining band, the Se.x Police. Anchored bv a two-man horn section, the Sex Police performed an hour-long set of "melodic funk" that gave fans something to think about as they made their journey home. The fanatic crowd showed their tremendous support for the group as thev plowed their way through. Capitalizing on the success of "To the Bone" and "Amanda Falls singerand bassist Norwood Cheek riled the crowd into a frenzy. Fin- ishing off with "Elevator their most popular composition, the group ended an exciting day for Raleigh music fans. According to chief promoter Chris Johnson ol l&l Productions, Localpalooza came off as a com- plete success, with absolutely no violence at all. Johnson said to ex- pect more festivals such as this in the near future. Music fans should look out for Localpalooza II, com- ing to a field near you. Continued from page 7 almost as an afterthought.

The Pirates opened the scor- ing midway through the first half when freshman Kiki Anderson put a free kick from 20 yards out into the Eagles' net. Up to that point, the Pirates had just missed on scoring opportunities by Alison Russell and Joelle Pierce. The defense, led by Stephanie Aicher and Jodi Rittenhouse, was impregnable, as GSU only managed four shots on goal all day. Winger Amy Warren dribbled past two defenders at the 26 minute mark in the second half and her shot put the Pirates ahead 2-0. GSU tried to mount a late attack, but outside fullbacks Courtney Buck and Missy Cone slammed the door on the GSU offense to huckle on for the win. On Sunday, the clubs from ECU and UNC-Wilmington braved the wind and rain as they played to a 1-1 tie. Just two minutes into the game, right wing Golf Amy Warren scored on an assist from Alison Russell. After that, the two teams bogged down in the mud. Goal keeper Jaime Pierce held the UNC-W forwards at bay with a succession of saves, but, mid- way through the second half, an unmarked Seahawk in the goal mouth received a cross-pass and put it away for the tie. ECU finished strongly, but were unable to capitalize on some late opportunities to win the game. The tie moved the Pirates to a 1-2-1 record on the year. This Sunday, the Women will look to make it a double victory at Duke. Continued from page 9 INT 7 6 4 1 ID 10 4 3 0 1 YPSPG 85.0 745 715 603 53.6 53.0 control. If you ever hear anyone yell "Co- bra on thecourse, don't call Animal Con- trol. Someone just collected a free disk because someone else had more power than control. Before you start to think this is totally a finesse game, you better get to know the course. The first 10 holes are inside the small patch of woods behind Harrington Field. The course designer cut down enough trees and underbrush to create a good course, but left enough wood in the way to turn an errant throw into a game of tree- tag. If you don't believe that, look at the scarred trees along the course fairways. The first 10 holes are inside the trees, and each is a par three. Most of these holes are fairly straight, with a slight break at the end. It is on these holes most holes-in-one are scored. Hole eight, a short hole that breaks to the right, is the most popular place to score a hole-in-one. From 11-15, the holes are all outside in the open air, and those frustrated by the short holes and the accuracy needed on the inside can vent their anger into a power game. Throws of 70-100 yards are not uncommon out here, and accuracy isn't important if you takea dozen throws to cover the distance. "Lucky 13" is the most agonizing of the firstoutside holes. Itcombinesa need for power (the hole is over 100 yards long) wi th a need for accuracy (the hole is as straight as an arrow, and flanked by pines on either side). Hole 16 is the monster of the course. Over500 feet long, it is the only par four. It starts beside Charles Street and winds up in the woods behind the Lady Pirate Softball field. A good tee throw is necessary here, if it is short or wide, your score is going to run up. Holes 17 and 18 finish up the course back inside the woods. Like 1-10, these holes are flanked with trees, and seem harder when coming in from the relative freedom of 11-16. For the $9 cost of a disk, you can get yourself into the game, one that can get very addictive,as many ECU students have found out. It doesn't even need to cost anything. You have a right toa disk. If you cannot afford the disk, one will be appointed to you (sounds similar to something else, doesn't it?) by Im-Rec Services in Christenbury Gym. It'll cost you your ID, but you'll get it back when you bring the disk in. Try it. It's cheap, fun and it won't give you something there isn't a cure for. The course is open to anyone every day of the week, though there are tournaments Tues- dayafternoonsand occasionally other times. These tournaments are usually open to the public, for a small fee. All in all, it's one of the few things you can do cheap that you can talk to your friends about the nextday. Give it a shot. Hey!
