"(Today), the day of the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout, we're asking students, faculty and staff to drop out from smok- ing said Jeanie Tomkalski, di- rector of Health Promotion and Weil-Being. The American Cancer Soci- ety sponsors the annual event countrywide to encourage smok- ers to abstain from cigarettes for 24 hours. The Society also asks people who dip or chew tobacco to drop their habits for the day. "A lot of intelligent people consider dipping snuff and chewing tobacco as safe alter- natives to smoking Tomkalski said. "But that is just not the case A 1986 report by the Advi- sory Committee to the Surgeon General concluded that strong scientific evidence exists prov- ing a link between snuff use and cancer.

Wearinga traditional burgundyrobe. Rinpoche entered the room while the audi- ence stood respectfully. He took his seat behind a table covered in fine Asian silks and spoke softly as he explained the Bud- dhist conception of compassion. "Compassion isa very important prin- ciple in the spiritual path of Buddhism he said. "Compassion in Buddhismarises from the call of loving kindness � Rinpoche explained how one could acquire that compassion. "The real cause for generating com- passion is the understanding and experi- ence of suffering he said. "Suffering, on theother hand, is the fundamental nature of being. "What then is suffering? One word can describe suffering; suffering is a fear. Whether we are in our happiest state or we are in a depressed state, our being is per- vaded by this fear Rinpoche said we deal with fear by denying it. For example, we avoid talking about death because we are afraid to accept our mortality. 'This denial becomes another fear, another suffering. It becomes destructive, and obstructs us from havinga pure heart Rinnpoche was bom a t Ru mtek Mon- astery in Sikkin in 1965 and, when less than one month of age, was recognized as the seventh incarnation of the Dzogchen Ponlops by the Gyalwa Karmapa and the Dali Lama. He graduated from Karma Shri Nalanda Institute as an Acharya, or master of Buddhist Philosophy. He teaches En- glish and has traveled and taught widely in both the West and Asia. Returning to the subject of compas- sion, Rinpoche said we must see our pain clearly in order to develop compassion for others. "Compassion is seeing others' suf- fering and wanting to help that other being to free himself from that pain and cer are also more prevalent among snuff dippers. In 1991, about 7.4 million people observed the Great American Smokeout. Within three days, more than half of the people were still not smoking. "Our main objective is to create awareness about the haz- ards of smoking Tomkalski said. "We're hoping students, faculty and staff � smokers and nonsmokers � will participate Nonsmokers can join in the observance by signing up to "Adopt-a-Smoker" for the day. People who join this pro- gram, coordinated by the office of Health Promotion and Well- Being, can receive survival kits either at the office of Health Pro- motion and Well-Being (303 Erwin), the Counseling Center (316 Wright), residencehalls or in Room 127 of the Brody Building. Residence halls on campus will receive the most promotion regarding this event. Educational information, along with buttons, stickers and other paraphernalia will be available to students through their residence hall ad- visors and coordinators. See Smokeout page 2 Art school gains exhibition space By Tracy Ford Staff Writer A 900 square-foot senior exhibition space partially funded by Burroughs Wellcome will be added to Grey Art Gallery in Jenkins. The space intended for se- nior exhibitions, a graduation requirement, will be separate from Grey Art Gallery. How- ever, the gallery and the exhibi- tion space can be combined to make one large show if needed. "Our graduating seniors will have the unique opportu- nity of designing, arranging and executing an exhibition ot their work in a professional space said Michael Dorsey, dean of the School of Art. Besides the $30,000 given to the art school by Burroughs Wellcome, the Art Department raised $21,000 by way of a ben- efit auction in April. Two-hun- dred works were donated by faculty, students and friends. "The students before would extend an inordinate amount of work and have to hang (the exhibition) in a hall- way or a store front Dorsey said. The addition will give stu- dents a professional place to . rtoto by Jason Bosch Representatives from Burroughs Wellcome present the School of Art a check for $30,000 for new exhibition space in the Gray Art Gallery. The new space will be used for senior exhibitions. work, Dorsey said. "We do very much de- pend on the good will, gifts and cooperation to make this university work Chancellor Richard Eakin said. The extra space, designed bvjohn Hickman, will be func- tional by this summer. "It's always a relationship between industry and academia but not always be- tween industry and art said Dr. Gabriel Cipau, senior vice president of production and engineering at Burroughs Wellcome. Burroughs Wellcome, a major benefactor of the art de- partment, has sponsored a number of exhibits and bought and displayed art from ECU in an effort to let students share their work with the public.

With video tapes and textbooks, or two- way video and audio, students can now re- ceive an associate of arts degree without ever stepping on campus. Some colleges are inves- tigating ways so students can earn four-year degrees at remote sites. Leaders in the television education movement say such delivery makes a college education available to people who live too far to commute to school or don't have time to attend classes out of their area. "What we are finding is that students at a distance do not perform any less than if they were here on campus said Clark Ketchum, a spokesman at trie University of Maine at Augusta. "The advantage for these students is basically access. Distance precluded them from taking classes The University of Maine's seven cam- puses are tied together by an electronic dis- tance education system. Students at one cam- pus can hear and see a lecture on another campus. This system is not interactive, but at various other sites there is an audio system that enables students to respond to instruc- tors and vice versa. Fifty high school sites are tied into the svstem. There are 2,641 students enrolled in the University of Maine's distance programs out of a total of 32,826 in the university system, Ketchum said. They pay no extra tuition or fees for the telecommunications courses. These students can receive associate of arts degrees in business administration, gen- eral studies, liberal arts and social services. "Hopefully they can transfer to a campus and get a bachelor's degree he said. "Down the road they will be able to get a bachelor's on television The system, and several like it nation- wide, are not without detractors who say students lose out by not being in a classroom with an in a classroom with an instructor and fellow students. Ketchum said the Univer- sity of Maine's system, which began in 1989, has determined that the students in telecom- munications courses do no worse or better than traditional on-campus students . "The underlying element is the student's motivation to learn. They are inde- pendent people who aren't missinganvthing Ketchum said. "The down side is the tradi- tional socialization that we are aware of and participated in. For many students, this is a minor issue. The major issue is getting an education. Students are basically more pleased to have the access than to have lost that social contact See TV page 3 ROTC sponsors toy drive By Tammy Carter Staff Writer suffering he said.

Compassion is creating the space in your heart for love and for kindness Rinpoche answered questions from the audience beforeending with a traditional Buddhist farewell. The visit, Rinpoche's last in North America before returning to Tibet, was sponsored by Karma Thegsum Choling Greenville, and bv the ECU Buddhist Meditation and Study Group. The cadets of ECU's Army ROTC are sponsoring a Toys for Tots Drive on cam- pus this week. The drive began on Monday and will run through Friday. The toys that are col- lected will be given to children throughout the Greenville area who would not other- wise receive gifts on Christmas morning. Toys will be collected in front of Mendenhall and the student book store during regular school hours as well as in the ROTC office in Rawl 346. People wish- ing to donate toys should look for the large green collection bins in these areas. .According to ROTC cadet Lisa Moody, donated toys should be new and unwrapped. She said gifts do not have to be expensive. Moody proposed the drive to her fel- low cadets after volunteering her time in a local elementary school system in earlv Janu- ary. Moody said she saw children returning from Christmas break who did not receive any presents. "They kept to themselves, away from the other children Moody said. "The looks on their faces were pathetic Moody said everyone on campus needs to take part in the drive to make Toys for Tots a success. "We are asking every faculty office to donate at least one toy" Moody also asked all students to donate toys. Students who donate will receive a raffle ticket on a chance to win prizes or gift certifi- cates from area merchants. Prizes include a pair of Rayban sun- glasses, dinner for two sponsored bv Trader Kate's, gift certificates from Belk's, Winn Dixie, UBEand Applebee's, along with many other prizes. 2 The East Carolinian NOVEMBER 19, 1992 � i Student makes 10,000 calls A spumed college student in Austria has admitted to making morethat 10,000harassingtelephonecalls totaJjng$30,000tO Harvard University students. The Austrian student, who would dial the Harvard prefix and then random four-digit numbers, called an average of 10 students a day over the past three years, and some- times would threaten to kill women who answered the phone. He was finally identified when a female student told Harvard police she suspected the caller might be a student she met in 1989. Officials doubt any action can be taken because of international red tape. Search policy irks student leaders A videotape made by a student government task force shows that Jacksonville State University students are searched at football games for alcohol and weapons, but most alumni, faculty and parents are not. David Nichols, director of public safety, said the screening policy at student entrances is a safety mechanism to prevent weapons and alcohol from being carried into the stadium. However, video footage showed that regulations were strictly enforced at the two student entrances, while other entrances used by alumni, faculty, staff and parents, were watched carelessly, if at all. "My main concern is that students are being discriminated against Student Government President Sam Witherspoon said. Suicide attempts rise at UW Campus security at the University of Wisconsin at River Falls indicates an increase in the number of suicide attempts reported over the past three years, although some university officials say the numbers may not reflect an actual rise on the campus as a whole. According to campus security's 1991 annual report, there were no reported suicide attempts in 1989, three in 1990 and two in 1991. There were no reports of completed suicides during those years. Failed relationships, dysfunctional families and coping with the added pressures of school all play a large role in a person's decision to attempt suicide. "More often than not, there is intoxication or some level of alcohol said Dan Ficek, a psychologist at the univer- sity counseling center. "If suicide is already inherent in the mind alcohol can take it to the next level of actually doing something about it b 6 Compiled by Elizabeth Shimmel. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers.

The university is located in western Kan- sas, a rural area in which students live up to 250 miles away from the campus. "Distance is a major factor that we are hying to bridge. Many non-traditional studentscan't come to campus he said. The school has three pro- grams. One involves interactive video, which is just getting off the ground, and an interactive audio system at 37 sites in Kansas. The sites, mostlyat community colleges or public libraries, provide instruc- tors and students with a two-way audio capability. The other instructional pro- gram uses audio tapes that are mailed to students with textbooks and a syllabus. The student has ev- ery thing tocompletethecourse and may never see the professor, who Continued from page 1 tapes an introduction to each class. Poirer said tapes .ire used a a rein- forcement for the books, and ,re used with a study guide that indi- cates when the tape should be watered. Thev can call the instruc- tor for questions and follow-ups. The down side? "You do not have the interaction. You are trad- ing off for the flexibility and accessi- bility for the course. The only way you can get a higher education is this accessibility Foirier said. "It's a challenge dealing with such great distances There is a $20 charge to rent each tape; for the interactive audio and TV courses, there is a $29 fee above the tuition. For example, a three-hour undergraduate video tape course would cost $180, plus what the textbook costs. The courses Fort Hays State Uni- versity use are produced at Coastline Community College in Orange County, Calif. Each tape costs about $1 million to produce and takes up to two years to be made, said Lois Havens, a business ser- vices representative with the school. A course usually hasabout 26 videos, which works out to about two videos a week, and suggested readings and astudy guide for the student are provided. Coastline Community College li- censes its tapes to about 350 schools na- tionwide. The tapes cover such topics as psychology, human behavior, humani- ties and marketing.

Proponents of the release state that this change will make the all-student Board more accountable for its actions than they are pres- ently. Records would be released in whole, with the exception of persons' names being changed to "victim" and "assailant Proponents have also voiced concerns about the legal experience of members of the Board and theboard'sbasisas an isolated judicial system. Opponents of the change, who include Dean of Students Ronald Speier, say that the judicial records of students are protected under the Buckley Amendment. Under this amend- ment, the Department of Education can with- draw federal funding from any schools that release educational records to the public. Speier has also said that he would consider releasing a list of Honor Board decisions, but would not release any information that could jeopardize the anonymity of those involved. He also believes that the current system is open. Articles Vlland VIII of ECU's Judicial Rules and Procedures seem to effectively rebut the Buckley argument. They state that judicial records are kept separate from educational records (VII) and that suspension or dismissal notification is not part of a student's permanent academic record (VIII). Honor Board proceedings and records should be open to the public and press. Cur- rently, individuals are not allowed into the meetings unless it is at the bequest of the defen- dant. Speier has said that people may talk to the plaintiff and defendant outside the meeting and ask the defendant if they may enter. This conces- sion is not enough. Our country bases its national judicial sys- tem, on a whole, on the concepts of freedom and openness. If ECU is to be seen as a microcosm of society and a precursor to life in the working world, then steps must be taken to reflect all of society, not just bits and pieces. University life and college experiences should not be a buffet of society. The ECU administration should not pick and choose what matters students will have to deal with. It is understood that college students are of the age to act maturely and responsibly. This responsi- bility and freedom may not be deserved by some few individuals, but the majority of the public accept it as a norm. YOU HAVE TO KEEP TEUJNG YOURSELF, SOMEHOW GERMANY IS BETTER OFF Quote of the Day: This is a court oflaw, young man, not a court of justice. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. By Amy E. Wirtz THE BUCK STOPS HERE By Mike Joseph pan 0f communism breeds hate, violence 'E Pluribus Unum' defeated by separation (Editor's Note: This is part 2 in a three-part series.) Why do we, as a people, seem condemned to endure racial strife and conflict? Any attempt to fully answer that question would be a mammoth undertaking, and no single answer will satisfy every- one. Even so, we must at least try to understand itif wehopetoever get the most from our democracy. Our nation bears the scars of a racist past. The Cherokee Trail of Tears, Chinese "Coolies" laboring on our railroads, the despised Irish immigrants of New York and sla- very are all the most bitter of memories. Americans who liber- ated the victims of Nazi concen- tration camps came face-to-face with racism at its most profane, and our heroic, hard-fighting black soldiers who contributed to the liberation returned home to seg- regated drinking fountains and the back of the bus. But the enlarged view of the world they gained gave rise, eventually, to the American civil rights movement, which brought us integrated schools, af- firmative action, the Civil Rights Act and more. But one unexpected conse- quence of improved social equal- ity was greater individual respon- sibility, and the shock of it pushed many Americans into a segrega- tionist mentality. It is much easier to blame someone else for one's problems than it is to accept them asone's own doing. This failure to accept individual responsibility is at the core of the racial conflicts in America. Shelby Steele, a black profes- sor of English at San Jose State University, describes the use of race to justify or explain failures and hardships as "race-holding He wrote that racism is on the decline in America, but that hold- ing to a sense of race-based inferi- ority "prevents us from exploit- ing our new freedom to t! - fullest (and is) as serious a barrier to us as racism once was Benjamin Hooks, of the NAACP, said in 1991 that "the time for excuses is over Hooks argued that blacks cannot solve their problems by continually blaming whites. Likewise, whites cannot blame their failures on affirmative action or the "welfare minority An example of the conse- quences of failing to accept indi- vidual responsibility is the growth of a class of poor blacks (about 2- 3 million), who are the product of what Senator Patrick Moynihan calls a "post-marital" society where two-parent families have disintegrated. This group of people is partly the product of a welfare system that shattered the idea of individual responsibility by rewarding such irresponsible behavior as unwed teen mother- hood . Today, only about 6 percent of black children can expect to live with both parents until the age of 17. Over 60 percent of black chil- dren are born out of wedlock, up from about 24 percent in 1965. Their communities are saturated with crime and drugs, and any PittCounty MiddleSchool teacher can tell you that these kids are, to say the least, dysfunctional. When we seek to displace re- sponsibility, we tend to cling to any argument that supports our effort. As a result, truth becomes less important than impact. His- tory books and the media are all guilty of a skewed or biased view of fact. For example, we forget tha t by 1830, abou 11,556 free black masters in the deep South owned 7,188 slaves. In the Pointe Coupee Parish of Louisiana alone, one out of four free black families in 1830 was a slave holder. We ignore the fact, that by 1991, two-thirds of blacks could be characterized as middle-class, that most black vic- tims of police shooting fall to black cops, that a 1991 Urban Institute study found that blacks on the job market were treated equally 73 percent of the time and in some cases (though not as often as whites) received preferential treat- ment. Nobody tells us that the Supreme Court has not permi tted affirmative action to infringe on many whites' rights, or that a sur- vey by the Metropolitan Chicago Information Center found that a higher percentage of blacks than whites thought African-Ameri- cans have less "inborn ability to learn than whites The point here is, that no one group is all villain or all victim, and that we are more alike than we are different. But when we al- low ourselves to remain ignorant of the whole story, we become susceptible to such preposterous influences as the Bush "Willie Horton" and Helms "White Hands, Black Hands" political ads. We become more motivated by Sister Souljah (Lisa Williamson) than by common decency. Whi tes leave theirneighborhoods when a black family moves in, and Spike Lee won't talk to white journal- ists. The result is segrega tion, sepa - ration and even violence. Author and historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr wrote that "group separatism crystallizes the differences, mag- nifies tensions, intensifies hostili- ties if separatist tendencies go unchecked, the result can only be the fragmentation, resegregation and tribalization of American life This is inappropriate for a nation bound under the motto, "E Pluribus Unum" (from many, one). If individual freedom is to be of any value, it must be purchased with individual responsibility, the courage to face the truth and the will to do what is right for all people. The great experiment of American democracy must not be permitted to succumb to the eth- nic and racial strife that is devour- ing Russia,Germany, India, Leba- non, etc. We Americans are better than that. Part 3 of this series will pro- pose a means through which we can begin to combat the rising tide of separatism in this country, and work, instead, for a united future for the United States. The Bed in Wal I has long since fallen and communism is on the decline. These events herald free- dom of expression, newfound dabblings in capitalism and in- tensenationalpride;all things that communism held with a tight grip and diminished with its power. But this freedom brings with it many problems for those who lived under the rule of commu- nism, some of which are unem- ployment, resentment and humili- ation. If anyone remembers, these are exactly what gave rise to the Nazis approximately 65 years ago and are boiling again among the 16 million people of the eastern part of Germany. Unfortunately, the worst is still yet to come. I find it very in teresting tha t it is the collapse of the value sys- tems that the people of Germany and urban areas in Poland, Hun- gary and both parts of Czechoslo- vakia built up to cope with com- munism that makes these nations primed for extreme nationalistic activities. I would think that with the d i minished communistic hold, there would be a feeling of relief and peace, not a need for revenge or catharsis. Overall, the young people of ex-communist countries have a bleak, unknown future ahead of themand areconstantly frustrated with the stagnant nature of soci- ety at this time. They believe that their only outlets are depression and aggression, which, in turn, The East Carolinian James R. Knisely, General Manager Blair Skinner, Managing Editor Arthur A.

Theseyouths are now free to voice their con- temp t for the communist past and protest against the system that undeniably brought about this bleak situation in the wake of its collapse. They have joined right- wing ultranationalists who cel- ebrate their identity as Poles, Hun- garians or Germans. It is here that they find their voice that for so long was kept mute. But, illogically, they blame much of the social depression on "foreigners They expected pros- perity from unification and instead found the poverty of strangers all around them. These asylum-seek- ers, and in some cases, students, are accused of stealing jobs from natives and creating problems in the reformulation of national unity. But these refugeesoftenonly work in menial positions in the underground economy, in jobs that Germans don't want. This all reminds me of the ir- rational belief some of the people in this country have that many Mexican refugees, Asians and other minority groups are steal- ing away jobs from "good, decent American folk Hardly. Too many Americans would find migrant farm jobs, assembly line positions and McDonald'scashier work be- low them. Yet this is exactly what the Germans are accusing asylum- seekers of doing. Even before any of the violent outbreaks, the idea of German nationalism and national pride was suppressed as a bad idea. But after the Berlin Wall fell, some people went looking for the last German party that seemed to have openly championed nationalism. That was the Nazis. Police estimate that nation- wide, there are about 6,500 neo- Nazi skinheads ina German popu- lation of 80 million. Skins, for the most part, say they are against criminal elements. They tout them- selves as benefactors to their people and want to let these people know that they are on their side. However, one cannot ignore the many violent acts that have been committed by the hands of skinheads. Their mistake is in the belief that the non-German asy- lum-seekers are at the crux of ev- ery German problem. That is sim- ply absurd. The problems of Ger- many were set in place long ago. To put blame on a handful of inno- cent people is completely misdi- rected. Followers of Marxism would call this a war of the poor against the poorer, a concept better known as capitalism. This is where the real problem lies. We mustallfight thehate thatbelieves in trampling the weak. If not, we all, in turn, become weak. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Student Pirate Club not to blame for football losses To the Editor: 1 am writing in response to Mr. Sember's letter to the editor in the Nov. 3 issue where he blames the football team's losses on the Student Pirate Club coverage in TheEast Carolinian.l feel hisclaims are so ridiculous that it does not even requirea response, yet I must set the record straight. Let me first say that it is fair- weather fans such as you rself, Mr. Sember, that the Pirate program does not need nor want. I have been involved with the Student Pirate Club for the past three years and i t is one of the finest and most positive organizations on campus. To blame us for the Pirates losing a few more games than you like shows your true ignorance. What could our memberships and the Pira tes losing a few games have in common? Just because we offer a chance to all student members to purchase bowl tickets just like any other Pirate Club member does not mean we guarantee a bowl game. To blame the coverage in The East Carolinian is even crazier. That is like blaming Santa Claus for not getting what you want for Christmas. Sure we all want our team to win, but being a true fan is about more than just wins and losses. It is about supporting your school no matter what happens because it is your school. In a transition year such as this, let me remind you that a winning season is noth- ing to be ashamed of. Also the majority of our teamis made upof freshmen and sophomores. The future is very bright for Pirate foot- ball and the best is yet to come. Before you stick your foot in your mouth again and cause more embarrassment to yourself, Mr. Sember, I encourage you to be- come a supporter of our fine uni- versity. Troy S. Dreyfus V.P. Student Pirate Club Political correctness alienates, panders American Indians To the Editor: I find Robert Todd to be a very competent sports editor. I don't think that he makes a very good advocate for political correctness. How does the removal of an institution's mascot or nickname improve the plight of the Ameri- can Indian? How does bringing up a dead issue such as the "tomahawk chop" bring dignity to a proud Sioux or Seminole? All it does is provide opportuni- ties for soapbox spokespersons to promote pity for a people who deserve so much more. Native Americans fought for their heritage and their home- 'Indian" is land. The nickname not meant to slander anyone. It'sjust that the Ar- kansas State Na- tive Americans doesn't sound catchy. Plus, it's too long. The name "Indian" carries as much pride as Pi- rate does to us. Where are the mass protests over Tennessee's mas- cot, a Volunteer? Our country is full of volunteers, but I don't hear the same outcry. This is simply silly political The only way to make this world a better place is to change people's hearts. correctness' attempt at censor- ship. The only way to make this world a better place is to change people's hearts. Don't alienate a proud people with the fragile politics ofhate.Of the Native Americans I know, they don't appreciate being pandered to that way. William Howerin Communications Junior � �� i � i November 19, 1992 Page 5 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK By Jim Shamlin Sports teams' names meant to inspire, not degrade Socialism and freedom cannot be reconciled To the Editor Indians are not victims of racism in the sports. The names of teams were picked for inspirational purposes � not racism. Take the GTE commercial on television for example: "Colts, Lions, Buccaneers, Sea hawks. After they chose their inspirational names and so on. The reason why teams like Cleveland, Atlanta, Washington and others chose to be an Indian was because of the fighting spirit of their culture and sense of loyalty to one another. Look at the ECU Pirates. Pi- rates are despicable people who steal and plunder and then some- times murder their victims. Is this what we are? We use the name because it instills some fear be- cause of our fighting spirit, not because of what a pirate really is. Another prime exampleare the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Is that not prejudice with a man running around in a leprechaun outfit? No. They use the spirit of Irish people who oppose the En- glish rule (or whomever the hell they are fighting) and the lepre- chaun as an icon for the school. Another reason for naminga team wasbecause of the location of the team and school. We are near the North Carolina inlets where many pirates (such as Blackbeard) anchored their boats and hid from the law in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Look where Washington, D.C Syracuse (to use your example) and Cleveland are. Lookatthese teams: Wisconsin Badgers, Michigan Wolverines and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Look at where they are located. Were there any native blacks or Hispanics living in America when the white man came over? I think not. Animals rights activists should be in an uproar also. They might say, "not all badgers, wolverines, bears and seahawks are ferocious. That's not representing them correctly See how ridiculous thisgets. If people were truly racist, then when they were choosing a name for their team why would they want to be called something they are not? Would a young ball player who might be a KKK member want to join the San Antonio Spies or the North Carolina Tar Babies? Get real. If I were starting a college and were racist, I sure as hell would not want my mascot to be of another color or race. So the next time you go flying off the handle, look at the facts and then write about it. Be more journalistic in the future and putyoureditorialwhereit belongs � on the editorial page. The section you used is to discuss the game and to preview the two teams in detail. It is not to run rough-shod over and definitely not for your personal war on anything. Joshua M. Doepke Media Performance Junior Reason behind cultural movement misunderstood To the Editor: I have many things I would like to say to Mike Joseph, but 1 will limit it to just a few. First, learn geography! Egypt and Mesopotamia are miles apart. Mesopotamia is located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in whatis present-day Iran and Iraq. Egypt, well Egypt is on the Mediterranean Sea, not even close to Mesopotamia. The Fertile Crescent is an area stretching from the cradle of civilization in Mesopotamia to the Nile River valley, so while Egypt can be considered part of the Fertile Crescent, it is a distinctive region when compared to Mesopotamia. In ancient Egypt, there were many black Egyptian nobles since the entire continent of Africa, North and South, tended to mix, mostly through migration and trade. Perhaps you will recall the story of the Queen of Sheba who met with Solomon and had at least one child with him. The Queen of Sheba, ruler of a glorious African empire, was none other than the Queen of Ethiopia. There are current theories concerning the birth of civilization and who the ancestors of mankind were, so to make broad generalizations that African-Americansarenotenritled to claim Egyptian descent is incorrect. Also, if African- Americans cannot claim descendancy from the "supposed origins of humankind wheredid the Africans originate from? Or better yet, what are they? It seems that Joseph has misunderstood, as have many others, the reasoning behind the new African-American cultural movement. In order for a cultural identity to be established, people need to recognize their heritage. This is easier for whites simply because documents and records were kept of their migration. There are few records of the African migration. Why? Because Africans were forcibly taken from their homeland and the people who did this did not record the names and addresses of each person. Inspiteof this, the African culture is a very rich one and should not be diminished by people who do not know geography or history. Inotherwords,ifyou intend to write for an audience, learn more about your subject and get your facts straight. Heather McAllister Graduate Maritime History Return of traditional values would hinder AIDS threat To the Editor: If condoms are the answer, it is only fair to ask if condoms can really be trusted. The New EnghmdJoumalofMedicinereports in vol. 316, no. 21, that "condom failure for AIDS virus transmission ranges from 17 percent to 30 percent of heterosexual couples over a two yearperiod No would describe as 'safe flying' an airline which hadacrash rate of 17to30 percent. Why the double standard when it comes to sex? In truth, this course of action is, at best, temporarily lesslethal. Doubling the time (four years), produces an AIDS seroconversion rate of from 34 to 60 percent. With time, even morediligentcondom-using non-monogamous persons or those who sex associatesare non- monogamous will contract AIDS. Goerdert cites an AIDS seroconversion rate of 17percent, or one in six. This is the same 'safety' ratio as Russian roulette playerswhoload a revolver. With multiple sex associates, AIDS and condoms, the achievement of death is slower, though no less certain And Dr. Robert Kolodny at the Masters and Johnson Research Organization has stated: "Apart from absolute sexual monogamy with a seronegative partner, there is no such thing as safe sex As early as the 1987 National AIDS Conference, Dr. Lasse R. Brathen said in his lecture session that: "The main issue is that condoms have a failure rate when it comes to pregnancies of about 10 percent, and a woman can get pregnant only a few days each year, but probably can be infected by the virus every day throughout the year. Safe sex does not exist We all know that even latex condoms with spermicide will not always prevent pregnancy, and a sperm is 500 times larger than the HIV virus. We have enough trouble stopping sperm, let us not pretend that this is an effective means of con trolling HIV. As human beings, we have the unique ability to make moral choices that affect our lives. I believe this type of self control is not only feasible, but it is a matter of life and death. It is time for a new sexual revolution�one that stops buying into the lies our generation has so easily gobbled up. Remember � condoms fail, abstinence never has. I am not trying to get a kick out of being the bearer of bad news. Really, I gain no benefit from anyone's moral behavior. Thank you tor reminding us, (David) Yarbrough, that the event with (John) Harris was sponsored by a Christian organization. No oneartempted to keep this hidden. Maybe they a re the only ones who care enough and are bold enough to talk about truth. Please realize thatifthisnation would have held to these traditional values, we wou Id not have the large number of people dying of HIV infection in the first place. Shane Deike ECU Staff American life seen as bleak without imposed order To the Editor: This is in response to Richard Poteat's letter in The East Carolinian on Nov. 5. Yes, it is true, we could maximize personal freedom by eliminating leaders. The question is, would anyone really want to? I have never carefully considered what the "founding fathers" intended for this nation, and I do not actually care to. When this nation was formed, it was sparsely populated and agricultural. It isn't either of these things anymore, so those plans could hardly be realistic today. It may sound odd, but there is a subversiveelementin this society (only one in 100, I'm sure) who feel that there is more to be val- ued in the world than personal freedom. They actually make an interesting point or two. For instance, whileonedoes usually have a right or freedom to better oneself, one does not have the right to better oneself at another's expense. If this were not true, there would be no incentive to try to better oneself through work, as it wou Id be easier to better oneself through stealing, and there would be no guarantee that one could hang onto the product of one's work. We must also value the freedom of others to better themselves. Poteat's claim that America is based on natural law is rather interesting. False, but interesting. Natural law is the lack of an order imposed by an outside power. If America were relly based on that, we wou Id ha ve no need of a consti- tution. Wild animals have lives based on natural law, for example, and they do fine without a consti- tution. Thomas Hobbes described that sort of life as, "poor, solitary, nasty, brutish and short With- out some kind of imposed order, or leader, life gets very bleak. There is no money, no agriculture and no industry. There is also, Mr. Poteat, no history. I am not asking Poteat to dispense with his tired old argu- ment. It gives those of us who know better something to do. All I'd like him to do is consider the impJicationsofwhatheproposes, and see if it creates a world he thinks anyone would enjoy. Restrictions on freedom are not designed to protect some inferior element in our society, as Mr. Poteat seems to think. Without them, there would be no society. Whether we admit itor not, weall need the protection these "leaders" provide. Dennis Wilhelm Senior Philosophy Response to the two-part editorial on socialism that ran in the Nov. 10 and 12 editions of The East Carolinian has ranged from obscene phone calls to published editorials. Regardless of the medium, the message has been the same � there is a great deal of protest, but littleactual refutation. By and large, proponents of socialism exalt it on the basis of the "social goods" it provides. The evidence, across the board, ispritna facie. Thorough and conscientious analysis demonstrates that every social good necessitates a social evil; in no case does the end justify the means. Proponents of socialized medicine proclaim its virtues, regardless of its past failures. In an argument, they claim that the crippled state of the Canadian national medical program is the result of transition � given time, things will get better. This is the same pathetic plea President Bush used in reference to the economy four years ago � "wait and see In the meantime, the economy steadily declined. The same has happened and will continue to happen with socialized medicine. Conceded, Canada's medical system is in a state of transition � thedyingprocessisa dramatic transition marked by steady decay. In the same style of ad ignoratum argument, socialism's proponents hail the victories of European medicine � but what victories are these? What major medical advance has any European, living in Europe, made since the Curies' discovery of radium (and that was before socialism)?If the stateof medicine in socialist Europe is so advanced, then why do European researchers come to America to seek funding? Why do European medical students come to America for thei r training? Why isn't it the other wayaround? There is no logical answer to these questions if one accepts the premise of socialized medicine. In fact, medical rrea tmentisshliavail- ablein socialist countries only be- cause they can feed, as parasites do, off the living, growing state of private sector medicine that exists in the United States. Most people are drawn to socialism in an effort to preserve human rights, claiming that socialist programs help the needy � but the help socialism offers is only the temporary kind. From the adage, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime socialism is giving away fish, and this charity cuts both ways. For society at large, feeding the needy requires a constant supply offish�a constant supply of tax money to pay for their temporary welfare. The socialists' response to the problems of homelessness and hunger is to create a money pit, an expensive short-term pa tch. Worse yet, it is a growing concern, a state of constant stagnation like the economic conditions in the Roman Empire prior to its collapse or in modern-day Ireland, where the needy outnumber the working. For the individuals on the dole, charity is a hand-out, not a hand up from economic stagnation. Those on the dole remain on the dole. Food and shelter, while necessary in the short run, do not provide the skills or initiative necessary to maintain life. The ultimate outcome of socialist "help" is decay � the poor receiveonly their basic needs � they are reduced to the level of mere existence like animals in a zoo. Civil rights leaders have often criticized social programsasa form of slavery�the rich man's way of keeping the poor man down. How can anyone call this a public "good?" The primary reason that people fall into poverty in the first place is a lack of survival skills � skills a socialized educational system failed to provide. Public schools havealways been inferior to private ones�and the funding forpublicschoolingisdrawnfrom taxes, lneffect, the average citizen is f( ireed to pay for education in a public school because the governmenthasextorted payment in advance. EachsrudentatECU has paid or will pay $5,000 per academic year in taxes in addition to our regular tuition � were that money under ourown control, we would be free to choose the benefit of a good education,notforced toacceptthe compromise of a mediocre one. Even for the economically disadvantaged, socialisteducation closes doors � private organizations, paying taxes for public education, no longer offer as many scholarshi ps as they used to. Instead, the government uses their money, dispensing it on the basisofneed,soperformancegoes unrewarded because funding is available for the needy, not for the able. The result is a high drop-out rate among the needy who aren't able, and the stagnation of the able who were unable to find funding because they didn't meet the government's criteria for being needy. This is the "public good" of socialized education. In the socialist mindset, compromise is a necessity � if a program is to exist as a parasite, it must have a host. A "mixed" economy, such as ours, shows the dangerof that sort of compromise. The state of the economy has not been strengthened by the nflux of socialist elements over the past 20 years � it has been weakened, bled almost to death � and like a dark ages alchemist, the peddlers of socialism think the sickness can be cured by bleeding society alittle bit more. If we are to revitalize our country, or if we are to rebuild a stronger nation in its ruins, we must come to realize that there can be no compromise between socialism and freedom, whether economic or personal. The only compromise between life and death is "dying" �and that is the state of America today.

"Pleasure Toy" proclaims asoundthatatonceremindsoneof the Bad Brains and the controlled tautness of English rock "Tinsel Town" furthers the twenty-some- thingdisillusionment theme, which runs throughout Mnoife, with the refrain: "My Tinsel Town so full of empty headsWheredowego from here?Baby 1 don't know" Marigolds, having cata- pulted us into another surreal at- mosphere, then ushers the listener backdown toearth withease. "Wil- low Tree" and the last of three instrumentals places us firmly on the ground and strongly convinced of the Veldt's talents. ThisnewEJP.should make an already great live show even better.

I believe AstroTurf should be banned. 1 believe in the sweet spot. 1 believe in long, slow, deep, wet kisses that last a week (Thank you, Kevin Costner). I also believe we will lose. Our air attack will be shot out of the Memphis sky like a lame duck. Memphis State boasts one of the best defensive teams in the country. Their defense is just a little bit superior than ours (thank you, Church Lady). Then again, FarmvilleCentral has a better defense than we do. The only way we will win is with a little bit of help from oh, I don't know satan! MSU's core of power backs, Larry Porter and John Martin, should bust through our defen- sive line like a fart throughdenim.The Buc defense, or lack there of, has only held two teams un- der 20 points this season. Okay, enough about the loss to the Tigers. What's up with the Pirate coaching Do or Die: ECU will try to staff? Did they for- seasons for the first time in get last weekend was wide receiver Clayton Driver's final home game? He didn't catch a single pass and I find it hard to believe he wasn't open once. The men on the sideline were considerate enough to let McConnell play a the entire game, which could only have been because he is a senior. There should have been more of an effort made to put the ball in Driver's sure hands. Well, since we are on the brink of a losing season, let's look at the positive side of things: next year we will all care a little more about tail-gating. Our expectations will be lower and sports writers like myself will not be trying raise your hopes, too much. This being the last Rob's Pick of the football season, I would certainly like to thank all of you who wrote letters to the editor. Despite the content of most of those letters, at least I know people are reading the sports page and people are actually taking the time to respond. I have been told the poor football season is my fault, opinions don't belong on the sports page (which is stupid) and American Indians are oversensitive cry-babies who don't deserve any respect and the whole issue of American Indian mascots is ridicu- lous. Okay, what- ever. I guess I'm just a bleeding-heartlib- eral who is catering tooversensinvespe- cial interest groups. Sue me.

Please No wagering or oversensitive special interest groups. Elvis is dead.) Well, once again the Pirates have proven to be a team that is impossible to second-guess. After I predicted that the Pirate offensive unit would erupt in an explosion of offensive excite- ment against Arkansas St Steve Logan and his team came out with a victory that could have been used as a sleeping aid. The Pirate team, led by quarterback Sean McConnell, gained only 172 passingyards and had little tooffer a measly crowd in Ficklen Stadium. It may have been gratifying to see the Pirate running game revi- talized by Junior Smith, but I'm sure mat the 25,072 people in the stadium would have been far better entertained going to see TJracula But, in the words of the immortal Steve Logan, "There's no such thing as a bad win The Pirates must prepare to further that philosophy Saturday against Memphis State, because they must take the Tigers to a shootout to have a chance to win. The stakes, the first pair of back-to-back winning seasons in nearly a decade, are higher than in any game all season. A great deal of ECU's future recruiting success will rideon their ability to put forth this winning record. Make no mistake about it, if Saturday's game was played on paper, we would lose badly. The Tigers haveoneof the mostferocious defenses in the nation, especially against the run. It is overly stingy, allowing only 17.4 points a game. It surrenders only 100 yards rushing and 151 passing yards a game. MSU out-punts us, out-kicks us, turns the ball over less than we do, and gets more points off its defense. This game is probably the toughest for the Pirates since the opener against Syracuse. In order to pull off an upset on the road, the Pirates must have phenomenal contributions from its passing game. Firstly, Michael Ander- son must play this week, and must keep the ball in the Pirates' possession. If he throws the inter- ceptions he has in previous outings, the Pirates are doomed; Memphis State will never look back. He must keep the offense moving, and conserve the energy of the Pirate defense. Secondly, the Pirates must have rushing productivity from Junior Smith. He has the potential in this game to gain the 72 yards he needs for a 1,000 yard season, and this may go hand-in-hand with winning the game. The Pi- rateoffensive line must open theholes for Junior to run through, or his hopes of joining the Pirate record books will vanish, as willhischancetobe on a winning team. ECU's defense must keep the team close, Mitchl says farewell to fans See Pick page 11 By Chas Mitch1 Staff Writer To err is human and to forgive is divine, however in modern day America we're the rich gets richer and the poorer has fewer, the time has come for this assistant editor to join the ranks of pizza makers and martini shakers. I, as a journalist, have lived by and on occasions died by, the philosophy of writing or reporting the events as I see them. I've tried not to sugar-coat the facts or the events surrounding any story, therefore I have acquired my fair share of anri-Chas readers. To these people I simply say: even- tually, life goes onif the reality of liv- ing in America proves too much for any one reader to accept or understand, then it simply becomes just a matter for the reader to work through it by him or herself. As a sports writer, it is my re- sponsibility to the people that I inter- view to protect the honesty, faith and integrity of these people with whom I associate. Here at East Carolina, life is merely a tempest in a tea cup in comparison to the events which shape our world ev- eryday. I've tried to use my experiences of European and Asian cultures to bring a warm and meaningful perspective to TEC readership. I feel that I have failed in my attempts to lessen the effects of cultural hatred, bigotry and racism here at ECU, so it's only appropriate that I step down as the assistant sports editor of The East Carolinian. My brief stint as assistant sports editor has been filled with countless memorable moments as well as encounters which could have been handled in a more mature and appropriate manner. So in my final swan song I would like to thank the people and agencyies that have made my job a lot easier and seemingly worth while during these past months. First and foremost a special thanks to former Sports Editor Mike Martin and as well as current editor Robert S. Todd for their confidence and respect which they have shown toward me as a writer and not as a former employee of Uncle Sam. While of course, the most single impor- tant element behind any agency is their administrative staff. I would like to thank Mrs. Deborah Daniel for the sharing of her knowledge of TEC and for just being one of thebestadministrative personnel that 1 have had the pleasure of working directly with. See Chas page 12 Profile Davis steps to front as defensive force and leader on the field the field�sometimes I get into Charles speaks as The Voice' By Daniel Willis Staff Writer To Jeff Charles, ECU basketball and foot- ball are a major part of his livelihood. Charles has been "the voice of the Pirates" for the past five years. He's seen the very best Pirates' football and he's seen ECU suffer through some diffi- cult times. But Charles does not let the Pirates' success effect his approach to the game. "I prepare for a Pirates' telecast the same whether the team is going 7-0, or 0-7" Charles said. "Every time I go out there I try to do the best job I've ever done. It does not matter whether I'm covering the Peach Bowl or the last regular season game I admit it can be a lot more fun when the Pirates are winning, but it does not effect my approach to covering a telecast" Charles is reluctant to admit that he patterns his an- nouncing style af- ter anybody else.

See Charles page 11 By Warren Sumner Assistant Sports Editor Tony Davis has great responsi- bility waiting for him next football season. Next year, he must captain a defense that will end this year as one of the worst in Division 1 foot- ball. He must be the on-fieid leader the Pirate defense will need to re- coverfrom thisseason'sdisappoint- ment. He must show an example of aggression, tempered with cool- headed reactions and intelligence. Davis leads this year's team with 113 tackles, 73 of those solo. When Senior outside linebacker Jerry Dillon was sidelined with a thumb injury, Davis assumed his position as vocal leader in practice and on the field, but he said he is unsure of how he will handle that responsibility full-time. "I've never been in that role he said. "I don't know how I will handle it. I will try not to lead with my mouth, and lead by example. Hopefully I'll lead by showing what I can do Davis said he enjoys the game of football and the way he plays his position. He said thatevery time he takes the field he tries to bring in- tensity with him. "I love to run around to the ball, a lot of times I make plays just by doingthat Davis saidOncethatattitjdefiltersdown to the defense you gel youi Midi i ii and your Washington Davis said he expects to dis- play an aggressive attitude against the Memphis St. Tigers, as he does in all his games, but tries to limit this attitude to the playing field. "1 don't like to be aggressive off situations where I have to pull back and realize I'm not on the field, because through sports they say its okay to be aggres- sive when you're playing, but not when you aren't he said. Davis said he does a pretty good job at keeping aggression in check. "Monitoring yourself just comes from growing up. When I'moff the field I view itas relaxation, while on the field it should be aggression and inten- sity Davis said the defensive unit hopes to display this latter attitude in the final game of the season, and onlyconcentrateon helping the Pirates finish with a winning record against Mem- phis St. this Saturday. "The biggest thing is to winto have a solid game on defense he said. "I don't want to say its too late to show people what I can do, but I don't feel people believe in us anymore.

"This season has let me know that it is terribly, terribly hard to come back from a win- ning season like we had last year and to repeat. We all had highexpecta tions from the fans, and I feel we may have let the fans down. The season has let m e know you have to work hard, there are no gifts.
