In March 1989, the Faculty Senate approved a recommendation for a new grading system based on a similar sys- tem that North Carolina State Univer- sity had proposed. The new grading system would include pluses and mi- nuses and further distinguish the cur- rent four-point grading system by in- crements of .3 points. At the time Chancellor Richard Eakin vetoed the proposal, stating his concern that the proposed changes would adversely affect the students. He also stated that little evidence existed to show that the current system did not adequately evaluate the students' per- formances. Bob Woodside, chair of the Fac- ulty Senate Credits Committee, said the chancellor was willing to look at the matter at a later date. "In his letter to the Faculty Sen- ate, he also said he'd be willing to con- sider another proposal, but didn't want one immediately Woodside said. Theonly difference between ECU's and NCSU's proposed policy is the re- moval of the A grade if the policy was to be introduced into ECU's administra- tion. Individuals opposed to the Agrade cited the fact that only two colleges in the country had adopted an A system, Cornell and Columbia Universities. After holding various open meet- ings to discuss the matter, NCSU offi- cials summarized the major concerns of both the students and the faculty at Students with borderline grades may be assigned different grades on very minor performance differences; stu- dents can also be assigned the same "In the way I awarded grades over the years, 1 think my students would have come out just about even. Some people would have actually passed the course, maybe where they got an F that institution. The faculty at NCSU said the grad- ing scale would allow for a more precise and accurate representation in grading. Bob Woodside, Faculty Senate grade though significant differences in performance exist. "(With the new system), a student wouldn't have to sweat out the differ- named ECU News Bureau A state-of-the-art print communications media laboratory at ECU has been named for a university alumnus, the late Charles Silas Edwards, a former official with the North Caro- lina Department of Justice. The lab features a Macintosh Ilci teaching computer, 15 macintosh student computers a CD- ROM player and other computer-related equip- ment, along with writing, page design, art and reference software. The lab is believed to beamong the best of its type in the nation, according to Dr. T. Harrell Allen, who is chair of the communica- tion department, ECU's newest academic depart- ment. The original seed money to equip the lab was contributed by Edwards' daughter, Mary Edwards Plybon and her husband, Robert, resi- dents of Greensboro, and Edwards' widow, the former Eula Sawrey. Additional money came from ECU's own fund for computing and tech- nology improvements. The media lab replaces an older lab com- prised of computers which will be distributed to faculty offices, Allen said. With the installation of the lab, ECU has within one year "from obsoles- cence to the state of the art Allen said. "Wonderful things can happen when pri- vate donations are combined with strong support from the university Allen said. "Our media lab is now the best in the state and as good as any in the nation The lab was formally dedicated in an Octo- ber 29 ceremony in the General Classroom Build- ing. Attending were Edwards' widow, thePlybons and their children and university officials and members of the communication department fac- ulty. Before unveiling a plaque mounted outside the lab door, Mary Plybon of her father's student days at ECU in the '30s, when a primitive campus "media lab supervised by the late English pro- fessor Mary Greene, consisted 6f a typewriter, a lead pencil and a table-model radio. After the ceremony, members of the com- munication faculty demonstrated various types of equipment in the lab, showing how ECU stu- dents are usingit to write, editand design various publications for their communication classes. Chancellor Richard Eakin explained the al- though the lab is currently housed in Room 2025 of the General Classroom Building, it may be moved to other quarters on campus along with Photo by Dail Reed Titnaie Burwell (foreground) prepares an assignment on a computer in the Charles Edwards Media Lab, which features state-of-the-art computer equipment, other classrooms and offices of the communication department, which now occupy porrionsofthreebuild- ing on campus.

Students at NCSU expressed con- cerns that grade point averages might suffer and affect financial aid or schol- arships. They also said the grading scale should be equitable to all students and that all professors would use the scale in the same way. Woodside said that in his grad- ing experience, the change in the sys- tem would not have had a major effect overall. "In the way I awarded grades over the years, I think my students would have come out just about even Woodside said.

Clinton plans to issuean executiveorder to repeal the Department of Defense directive that bans gays and lesbi- ans from military service. Military departments at ECU would not comment on the situation. "Officially, we do not make comments on specula- tions said Lt. Col. James M. George of the department of aerospace studies. "The current DOD standards are what we operate under The University of Missouri-Columbia is reacting to the call for change. Organizations on campus have been trying to remove the ROTC unit because of its policy of denying entrance to homosexuals. "ROTC has its hands tied because of policy said Scott Murphy, a cadet at the University of Missouri-Co- lumbia. "It's not fair to take away my ability to pay for school. It isn't fair for them to blame ROTC for a policy made in Washington President Bush said he would not change the current policy, which states in part that "homosexuality is incom- patible with military service. The presence of such mem- bers adversely affects the ability of the Armed Forces to maintain discipline, good order, and morale Bob Knight, director of cultural studies with the Family Research Council, agreed. "The military is unlikecivilian life. Ihaveno problem working alongside homosexuals he said. "I have. But I didn't have to eat with them, sleep with them, be in intimate circumstances around the clock. And in the mili- tary that's sometimes demanded of you Clinton, however, has promised to do away with the policy and allow openly homosexual individuals to join and stay in the military. Neal Snow, a University of Maine senior, was re- cently dismissed from ROTC when he told officers he is gay- Snow was the fourth-highest ranking cadet in the corps, a student senator and is a member of a honorary society for service to the school and academic achievement The current policy conflicts with universities' equal opportunity policies regarding race, religion, sexual pref- erence and other factors.

According to the FBI complaint, Charles Matthew Anderson, 19a university student, and Costa George Katsaniotis, 21, of Seattle, were charged Nov. 10 with conspiracy to defraud the United States' The two men could face maximum sentences of five years in prison and a $10,(XX) fine if convicted on the charges. The two reportedly said they broke into the computer systems as a challenge, rather than to obtain any vital information. Hunger awareness week held Students and faculty at Dickinson College held a Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, slept outdoors in cardboard boxes and fasted to understand these social problems. The students held a hunger banquet, where they were randomly divided into First, Second and Third World people and given a meal traditionally eaten by those populations. They then spent a night outdoors and fasted. Theobservance was expanded fromoneday to fourdays this year due to an increase of student interest, said Marty Willard, the assistant director of the school's religious affairs office. The office has organized an annual day of fasting since 1976 to show concern for the hungry in the United States and abroad. Examination switch results in charges Two California men were sentenced to probation after plead- ing no contest to criminal charges arising from a cheating scheme in which one student paid a National Merit scholar $400 to take an economics examination tor him. Tony H. Lee, 20, a student at the California State University, Northridge, and Parousia Liu, 20, a National Merit scholar enrolled at the University of California at Los Angeles, were charged Nov. 19 with falsifying a driver's license. They faced maximum penalties of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. On Nov. 24, both men pleaded no contest to the charges. Liu was fined $445, while Lee was fined $364. Each was sentenced to two years' probation. College officials said Lee could be expelled from school. Christmas comes early to LSU staff Budget cutbacks in Louisiana brought Santa Claus out early this year as economics and music professors at Louisiana State University covered their staffs' pay cuts out of their own pockets. Professors in the economics department raised $1,200 to distribute among 21 staff members who took an across-the-board 2 percent pay cut. The pay cuts were instituted to save the school $1 million, said Loren Scott, who chairs the department. Compiled by Elizabeth Shimmel. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers.

Because of Pentagon-imposed secrecy, there was no report on ac- tual deployment of the secret satel- lite from the orbiter's cargo bay, but an announcement from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration'sJohnsonSpaceCen- ter said that the operation had taken place on time and "exactly as planned Published plans called for As- tronaut Guion S. Bluford, a 50-year- old Air Force colonel, to release the Department of Defense payload 200 miles above the far western Pacific 6 hours and 9 minutes after the vehicle rose from its Florida launch pad. Completion of the operation was not announced for more than an hour, however. When live broadcast of spacecraftcommunications resumed, Discovery's five-man crew was at work deploying a communications antenna in preparation for the re- mainder of the seven-day mission. Given its disclosed weight of 23,215 pounds and the northeasterly heading of the launch, analysts have speculated that the cargo listed as DOD-1 was a Lacrosse all weather spy satellite, or perhaps a high-alti- tude sentry to monitor communica- tions or rocket launches. For security purposes, officials not only stopped the broadcast of communications with theastronauts while they worked with the secret payload, but eliminated the usual television pictures from the control room of Houston's manned space- craft center. During the remainder of the mission, there will be no pictures showing thespacecraft'sempty cargo bay, on grounds that conclusions about the satellite could be drawn from the structure that held it before deployment. Their prime Pentagon assign- ment behind them, Discovery's five astronauts turned to a host of scien- tific and engineering tasks, includ- ing work with 13 additional experi- ments for the Department of De- fense. The flight had been scheduled to lift off at sunrise, but officials de- layed it for nearly an hour and a half because ice formed at several places on thevehicle'sl54-f(ot-rall fuel tank. Although the air temperature at the launch site got no lower than 48 de- grees, high humidity and the chill from the super cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen combined to cre- ate frost and patches of ice on the tank's surface. Because ice might flake off the tank and damage the orbiter's deli- cate surface, NASA rules prohibit a launch if there is any accumulation of ice more than one-sixteenth of an inch. The ice rule and other sharp cold weather limitations were im- posed after the January 1986 Chal- lenger disaster when freezing tem- peratures were implicated in the shuttle's destruction. It was Discovery's first flight since last January. In the interim the shuttle was extensively refurbished and modified. It went through the preparations forits 15th mission with- out a hitch, and according to deputy shuttle program manager Brewster Shaw "arrived on orbit in great shape To deploy the military satellite in the position required by the Penta- gon, Wednesday's launch put Dis- covery on a course that took itsharpry northward. The angle, inclined 57 degrees from the Equator, means that before it lands back in Florida next Wednesday, the spacecraft swings below the tip of the South American continent and as far north as Scandinavia, criss-crossing the en- tire United States, except Alaska, in the process. �WTffifiSf Do you need "Cash" for the holidays?

"Naturally we don't intend to spark international conflicts and deliver weapons to conflict zones Gaidar told a crucial ses- sion of Russia's Congress of People's Deputies. "Butwehave absolutely no grounds to leave this most important market He said Russia recently has signed contracts worth about $1 billion with China, $650 million with India and $600 million with Iran. Russia delivered a subma- rine to Iran last month despite strong objections by Western na- tions that the sale would ad- versely affect the balance of power in the Persian Gulf re- gion. Gaidar's speech, which of- fered both a spirited defense of his reforms and a frank acknowl- edgment of many "mistakes was greeted coldly by legisla- tors, many of whom jeered as he spoke. The 1,041-member Con- gress, elected in 1990 under the old Soviet system, is dominated by ex-Communists, many of whom are determined to slow Russia's move toward a free mar- ket and possibly force Gaidar and his reformist team from power. While some deputies said Gaidar's speech had strength- ened his position and that of his patron, President Boris Yeltsin, it was far from clear Wednesday whether Gaidar could muster enough votes to survive a pos- sible test in the Congress.

The East Carolinian December 3, 1992 Opinion Page 6 SGA provides checks, balances to ECU The Student Government Association has once again shown a backbone in standing up for students' rights on the ECU campus. In late November, the SGA passed a reso- lution denouncing the recent limitations placed upon the campus radio station WZMB. The administration at ECU has placed a ban on WZMB from broadcasting from any bar or tavern downtown. They have cited as their reasons the risk of liability to the university as a "deep pocket FCC violations and ultimate responsibility of social host events. This narrow-minded ap- proach to regulating organiza- tions on campus desperately needs to be re-examined and re-evaluated. Other groups hold regular meetings on cam- pus serving alcohol and also hold meetings at bars downtown, such as Chico's. By not con- demning this action, the university, in effect, condones it and creates a double-standard. The question arises as to whether the fact that WZMB is a media-related organization had any effect on the amount of restriction placed upon them. Other organizations do not have the same amount of view in the public eye that WZMB has; therefore, the administration would not hear of them as often as the radio station. Media, as a whole, are seen as a micro- "When SGA supports something, it signifies the support of the entire student hody Courtney Jones SGA president cosm of society- With its specialized knowl- edge and wide public outreach, the media serve as the information-getters for the rest of the world. People watch TV, read the papers and listen to the radio not only for entertainment, but to hear what's going on around them as well. Limit- ing the media in their rights to cover events hurts the public on a greater level by infring- ing on the right to freedom of speech. Along with this First Amendment breach comes a concept known as prior re- straint. Prior restraint is an unconstitutional practice where the government re- stricts action on the basis that it may, in the future, create unrest. By imposing limitations on the basis that future litigation may happen, the administration is guilty of two major faults against the public's most basic rights. The SGA has given this university a set of checks and balances that is most desperately needed. SGA president Courtney Jones and the other officers have shown the student body that they will not stand idly by while the stu- dents' rights are being run over. They have put new emphasis and meaning into the word stu- dent in SGA, creating a body that a person can go to, without feeling that actual hope is an out-of-reach, idealistic notion. By Amy E. Wirtz Hillary Clinton to lead women into new era Hillary Clinton, wife- mother-lawyer. Soon to be First Lady. Bill Clinton's right-hand er woman. It was mentioned many times during the campaign that a vote for Bill Clinton would also be a vote for Hillary. Basi- cally, they come as a set. Hillary is a strong-willed, incredibly intelli- gent modern woman. A woman who (gasp!) speaks her mind and who juggles a career and a family with seemingly effortless ease. In other words, a feminist's dream. Unfortunately, the word "feminist" conjures up images of radical, bra-burning females. The term "pro-woman" may be more appropriate in this case. Hillary Clinton is a light in the ever dark- ened tunnel of equality. She rep- resents hope in an otherwise non- representational government. Let's face it � with women making up more than half of the entire human population, our "fair" democratic government leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to equality. The fact of the matter is, if Hillary Clinton asserts leadership, many people are going to be re- sentful. If she doesn't exert it, a large number of people will be greatly disappointed. They (the American people) apparently want Hillary to be tough, but not too tough; to speak her mind, but at the same time, wear fancy dresses and function as curator for the White House. It is my firm belief that Hillary Clinton is too talented to settle in as hostess and decorator. Whata waste it would be forher to disappear into the shadows be- cause of pressure from the dull, grey-suited Washington big-wigs. I say let her be what she wants to be. Let her shape the position of First Lady (First Spouse?) into a comfortable role as it suits her. She's been, up to mis point, asser- tive and successful at all she's ac- complished. It seems mat during the last few months of the campaign she was quieted because it was be- lieved that she was "running the show The result was a strategic repositioning, reflected by Mrs. Clinton's comparative silence and her adoring gaze, which was paro- died on Saturday Night Live. This brought about some head-shak- ing among admirers who won- dered if respectability would break her spirit. Doubtful. Bill Clinton emerged from a meeting held shortly after the election saying that Hilary "knew more" than most of the people in there. That certainly is not the sign of a bro- ken spirit. Incidentally, since a casual reference to Mrs. Clinton's potential as a Cabinet member drew fire last spring, both she and her husband have ruled out the possibility. People don't seem to be ready to handle upwardly-mo- bile women. The question remains: Then what do they want? I, for one, being a woman, don't want Hillary to turn into fluff. Granted, the present job de- scription of the First Lady reads: Help Wanted: quiet, unpretentious woman to take care of social activities, throw state-house dinners, be the eyes and ears of husband. Must wear tasteful, attractive clothing to appease the hard- nosed conservative public. Must not, in any case, draw unwanted attention to herself. Feminists need not apply. Hillary is the first profes- sional to take on this role, the only one who represents America in the '90s. It's a whole new world out there. Women have choices for once. Even though little has been gained in the fight for equal- ity, some important strides have been made. I hope everyone leaves her alone. If she can weather this last fight, she might make a terrific transition for a female President. The East Carolinian James R. Knisely, General Manager Blair Skinner, Managing Editor Arthur A.

THE BUCK STOPS HERE Quote of the Day: It is impossible for ideas to compete in the marketplace if no forum for their presentation is provided or available. Thomas Mann By Mike Joseph Truth over nationalism sought to end racism (Editor's Note: This is the third part in a three-part series.) The intended message of this series of articles is that we are more alike than we are different, that much of history is debatable and everyone has ancestors who did great things as well as bad things, and that the present and future are more important than the past. It should also be clear that racism remains a problem. The 27 percent discrimination identified by the Urban Institute study is unacceptable. The higher rates of crime, unemployment and poor health care suffered by minori- ties are problems with which ev- eryone should be concerned. But we, as a society, have too often failed to seek solutions to these problems together. Approaching problems through things like cul- tural awareness movements and multi-cultural education sounds great in theory, but in practice it can create alienation and conflict. The insane response to this by more radical groups like the KKK not only causes interracial con- flict, it also creates conflict be- tween persons of the same race. If, as this writer believes, the ultimate achievement for our country is a colorblind society, it seems logical that we tend to thwart this goal by dividing our- selves and emphasizing our dif- ferences. We become less aware of the good in other people, and it practically becomes necessary to seek out racism in order to justify ourselves. Interestingly, despite the rise of separatist sentiment, there is evidence that racism is declin- ing in America � the result, not of separatism, but of integration and civil rights. Minorities have made many gains. The highest ranking military officer in the land is black, and minorities have won elective office in unprecedented numbers � in some cases, in ju- risdictions with lopsided white voting majorities. Also, at the same time that more blacks were failing into povert), more were also moving into the middle class. Whites have experienced a simi- lar economic shift. All of us, al- though in different percentages, suffer from social and economic adversity. We can only beat these problems if we work together. In the end, it becomes an individual choice. We mustaban- EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK don the comfort of "good-old- boy" networks. We cannot con- tent ourselves with a race-based identity. We need to know that most Americans want harmony, and that when racism does rear its hideous head, people of all colors will join together to sub- due it. Perhaps a tool to support this would be some sort of inte- grated, diverse institution which would endeavor to focus our mag- nificent variety of ideas and per- ceptions on our most pressing problems. Call it the "American Social and Cultural Institute Staff it with representatives from all walks of American life who celebrate each other, who try to identify real causes and solutions, who seek truth over nationalism, who set an example by demon- strating "E Pluribus Unum We must be critical of in- flammatory propaganda. We must be suspicious of amateur editorialists who can err (I stand convicted). Above all, we must not divide ourselves and try to work together from a distance. Despite our best intentions, sepa- ratism � by any name � cannot be good for America. By Gregory Dickens Mediocrity is the death of pride. If you don't strive for the best, you don't find the best. Education should be students' top priority on and tell 'em what you think. Hint: wear a tie. They'll listen to you better. Even women � it worked for Annie Hall. Come on, you know the drill. Petitions, boycotts, protests, etc. Think Boston Tea Party. Hell, think Boston marathon first so you'll get there quicker. Mediocrity is the death of pride. If you don't strive for the best, you don't find the best. But you have to recognize what an appropriate goal is. Today, that means a job. Money in the pocket and bread on the table. That's why you're here at college. You think you need a class schedule to get drunk three days a week? You think you need homework as inspiration for the chug of your life? U, the College Magazine ran a study saying if you have more than 10 drinks a week, chances are you won't pass. There goes the school, the job, the money and there goes the ale, your raison d'etre. Better to sober up, graduate, get the job you majored for and then drink like a fish if you want. Buthave your priorities straight or the only gold you'll see is on the arches on the sign where you work. You get two days a week to live as you wish, three if you count Friday night, which you should. There's the break you need � three days out of seven to do with what you will. The other four days, hunker down and push the pencil. In four years, you get a paper from this fine state and a head start over Goober at the gas station. At this, the end of 1992, it falls on those of us who have little else to do to try to foresee how the year will be remem- bered. Between the riots and the rhetoric, America was caught in a lion's den of frustration and response. The lesson of cause and effect was retaught to those who might have for- gotten it not so much for what action results in but inaction can herald as well. The media did a fine job (thank you, you're too kind) showing the country the concrete and ab- stract responses of those who were forgotten and those better off forgotten. So we have a new epoch on our hands. Not simply because of Clinton's election, come on, he's not the Second Coming (wait, maybe that should be used for Perot). We, as a country and individuals, have been made aware of our environs no matter how far the boundary extends. We are set to try anew with in- volvement, instruction and hope- fully, infallibility. We no longer have a physical enemy to con- front as a whole, a stagnant and failing political policy in control nor the luxury of claiming igno- rance or a lack of opinion on any pressing issue. One way or an- other, this nation has been given a challenge to straighten up and get its act together. We must de- cide now just how to go about it. Either by responding to a feared outcome or by being de- termined to enact a different agenda, we took a stand and said something. Whether the riots in L.A. enraged you or scared you, at least you reacted. If the elec- tion made you want to throw the bums out or keep the weirdos out, you wanted something. While we have the momentum of response, we must use it to fix the mess of a society we are all in. Ef- fort must be made. The late '80s were bogged by "well, what can you do?" feelings; apathy and indif- ference, mixed with inertia. Now, blame the media, blame the gov- ernment, whatever, but energy has built up because of irritation with the status quo and the de- cay of the economy. But now the economy is up, government is in place and the new year is in the on-deck circle. Let's get to work. You think a law is unfair? Change it. We've been a democ- racy for a couple of hundred years now and that means we all have a say, but you have to turn off Regis and get out of the dorm room and do something. Getting hacked off and then drinking until you pee in your backpack doesn't get the laundry done. Think an ECU policy stinks to high heaven? Say so. No, not to your roommate, no to me, to the SGA and the administration. They get paid or get snazzy titles just to hear what you think.

Indeed, the situation is so cha- otic that outside of the former capi- tal of Mogadishu, it is difficult even to keep track of which clan is in charge of which region on which day, said a Pentagon official with access to classified intelligence re- ports. Alliances rupture and reform; sub-clans split from one group and cut deals with another. "They're just constantly in flux the official said Wednesday. "Frequently some of the sub- clans make alliances that can be opposed to their parent clan .It's so fragmented The bleak intelligence assess- ment comes as the United Nations prepares to vote on a U.S. offer to supply troops to protect relief work- ers who so far have been stymied in efforts to deliver food to starving Somalis. Bush administration offi- cials have said the troops would remain there only a few months, but the lack of any political center of gravity in Somalia raises ques- tions about whether order can be restored before they leave. Among the groups laying claim to various regions are the Somali National Movement, the So- mali Patriotic Movement, the So- mali Democratic Movement, the Somali Democratic Alliance, the Saloon MONDAY NIGHTFOOTBALL ISBAC Chicago Bears vs. Houston Oilers SPECIALS INCLUDE: �Draft Beer - 95t a glass$4.95 a pitcher �House Hiballs $2.0OJuice Highballs $2.25 �Double Lime Margaritas $2.75 �Double Strawberry Margaritas $2.95 �Buffalo Wings 25t each from 4 pm � Closing �Drawings for Prizes Every Monday!

Mogadishu, the capital, had been controlled by the United So- mali Congress, otherwise known as the Hawiya clan, after the col- lapse of the country's central gov- ernment last year. But the two key leaders of that group, Gen. Mohamed Farah Aideed and Ali Mahdi Mohamed, had a falling out. Now Aideed controls the southern part of the city and Mahdi lays claim to the northern suburbs, though each has retained the party tide. The Pentagon official said that although clan leaders may profess a commitment to nation-building or democratic principles, in fact they are interested only in amassing weapons and food the two key elements of power in famine- wracked Somalia. Complicating the picture, the official said, are large quantities of small arms leftover from Somalia's splintered army, many of them in the hands of teenagers who make their living stealing food or run- ning protection rackets for relief groups. The official noted that most ofSomalia'sgunmenchew khat, a leaf grown in Ethiopia that pro- duces an amphetamine-like high. The official said that in Mogadishu, where shooting inci- dents now occur about 100 times a day, the level of violence appears to rise after 2 p.m when Somalis typi- cally stop whatever they are doing and take a khat break. The utter collapse of civil and moral authority in Somalia is all the more perplexing because it has oc- curred in a country with none of the ethnic or tribal divisions thatplague other sub-Saharan nations. Somalis are nomadic people who live as farmers and herdsmen and they share the same physical characteris- tics, language, religion (Sunni Mus- lim) and cultural traditions. i DON'T GO 3R0KE THIS CHRISTMAS BREAK!

The East Carolinian December 3, 1992 Lifestyle Page 9 Lee's 'Malcolm X' named work of art By Ike Shibley Staff Writer Malcolm X could be the most important film released this year. Spike Lee hascrafteda superbly articu- late statement about Malcolm X and about racism. Lee has toned down his own racial views and blunt, yetsprawling, style to tell a uniquely focused, moving saga of one of the most influential black leaders in Ameri- can history. Denzel Washington, the man whose previous acting work has included Glory and Mo' Better Blues (also directed by Spike Lee), had given hints that he had potential for a performance like Malcolm X in his future. The raw power he brings to the role solidifies the film. His portrayal could be argued to be as important a contribution to the film as Lee's direction. Of course, Lee did much more than direct the film, therefore Malcolm X is his film. In addition to directing the movie, he produced it with Marvin Worth. He also plays a major supporting cast member, Short who befriends Malcolminhisyouth and adds a certain amount of humor to the film. Though many of Lee's statements and actions concerning Malcolm X have been viewed as brash, no one can deny the con- viction that he has shown. Lee tirelessly promoted this film from its inception twoyearsago. He boldly stated that black Americans needed to see this film or else something of this magnitude may never be completed again. He fought to make exactly the picture he wanted. He elicited financial aid from black performers such as Bill Cosby and Michael Jordan when Warner Brothers (the company releasing the film) hesitated with financial support. He claims that, barring only a few alterations, he got the monev he needed to make the film he wanted to ma ke. One of the comparisons made was to not shoot the climactic finale in the original Audobon ballroom. The renovation costs were too prohibitive. Lee deserves immense credit for not allowing even minor setbacks like this to dampen the film's spirits. None of the com- parisons are evident on screen. Malcolm X, in addition to telling a re- markable story, looks magnificent. Theearly scenes in Harlem, when Malcolm is a small- timehustler,explodewithcolor.Thestreets look remarkably realistic. Malcolm X's pil- grimage to Mecca was shot on location in Egypt, which complements the film's real- ism. ThecomplexityofMalcolmX,theman, is evidenced by the fact that a three hour, 21 minute film does not do him justice. Lee hopes the film will serve as an introduction to Malcolm X and will lead to a more thor- ough exploration by those who see the movie. Malcolm X was bom Malcolm Little in Omaha, Neb in 1925. Early in his life he began to learn about prejudice when, at age 11, a teacher told him that Malcolm's aspirations to a be a lawyer were unrealistic. His teacher sug- gested carpentry. "Jesus was a carpenter the teacher said somewhat encouragingly. Malcolm served six and a half years in prison for robbery. While there he took the surname X, signifying the rejection of a "white man's slave name" and his "un- known" African identity destroyed by sla- very. In prison, Malcolm Xeducated himself so that when he emerged from his cell he was a learned spokesperson for his new religion, the Nation of Islam. Eventually, after a pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm X welcomed white people into his vision of a better future for mankind. In 1965, the intelligent, articulate voice of Malcolm X was forever silenced by gun- men at the Audobon Ballroom in New Photo courtesy Warner Bros. Malcolm X (Denzel Washington) addresses the huge crowd assembled at a gathering of the Nation of Islam in "Malcolm X Spike Lee's latest film triumph. York. Spike Lee has ensured that Malcolm X's voice will be heard for generations. This deeply moving, extremely well- crafted f il m is certainly one of the best of the year. Lee has taken a life and crafted it into a work ofart while still maintaining a strong historical foothold. He has managed to convey the love he feels for Malcolm X while still pre- senting Malcolm X as a man rather than an idealized, superhuman icon. Lee has created his best film. Malcolm X is a truly magnificent work of art. Art to be on display at holiday sale By Bobbi Perfetti Assistant Lifestyle Editor For all those that want to get an early start on their Christmas shoppjng or for those that just want to purchase a hand- crafted item for their own use, Thursday, Dec. 3, and Friday, Dec. 4, will be the perfect time. From 8 a.m. until 6 p.m the School of Art will be holding their annual Christmas Sale in the Wellington B. Gray Art Gallery. All of the items that will be sold are made by the students and sold by the stu- dents. Included in the sale will be pottery, silk scarfs, kaleidoscopes and hand-made Christmas cards. Also featured are metal works, jewlery, prints and weaved rugs. The prices of the crafts are quite reason- able, ranging from $1 to $100. The student pays for the materials used and makes the craft on his or her own time. The price of the craft goes to a worthy cause � the student who created it. The students belong to guilds in the School of Art and these guilds have payed for all of the promotions for the sale. The guilds that have participated are: Ceramics, Printing, Craftsman East, Metals Textiles and Wood, Art td ucation and Design Asso- ciates. A portion of the profit goes to the guilds. Three art students, in the Craftsman East guild, have co-ordinated the sale and have been responsible for the advertising of the Christmas sale. Bess Andrews, Jamie Lanier and Alice Swart have been working hard for the art students and expect a big turnout for the sale. They expect ECU stu- dents as well as individuals from the com- munity to attend the sale. The Gallery will hold a reception and sale Thursday night for art enthusiasts. For more information call the School of Art at 757-6336. This is the biggest sale that the School of Art will hold this year and is a great oppor- tunity to find a unique gift that is more than worth the price. Mother Nature to embrace Deli audience By Joe Horst Staff Writer Classic rock 'n' roll has found a newourJetinGreenville,and it'sname is Mother Nature. Mother Natureisa trueGreenville band, having its starthere in February of 1991. Originally named The Hi wav, the band has gone through some changes in their line-up, eventually coming to the present quartet that started in December of 1991. Each member of Mother Nature has had at least six years of playing experienceundertheircollectivebelts. They combine their talents to cover the classic rock 'n' roll hits of '60s, 70s and '80s. GuitaristMark Williams joins fellow guitar player Jon Matthews as vocal isb,witodrummerRobertSwain adding final touches to the three-man vocal reperatoire.

They have performed at the New Deli and the Attic in Greenville, the Trawl Door in Oriental and the Ramada Inn in New Bern.

Dear Dead Delila is emerging as Greenville's alternative to a nationally stagnating college music scene that seems to be increasingly based on repitition and less on originality. The group's new album, Erosion, con- tains 15 songs that, as a whole, simply defy categorization. This is no "get down and party" record, but the album drips from start to finish with catchy hooks and punk-rock energy. "We wanted to be able to move flu- idly between songs that are really heavy and those that have more of an acoustic feel said ECU senior Joey Lawler, Delila's guitar player. "I rarely see bands that play something so incredibly heavy one second, then sound like the Connells the next Dear Dead Delila formed in the sum- mer of 1990 as a hard-core punk band. "We released this four track tape that was really horrible said Lawler. "Every- thing was out of tune and all the songs were about ridicu lous topics. But it was punk rock, so who cares?" As the band began playingout, they rede- fined their sound and started working more on song writ- ing. The band's new, full-length cassette clocks in at over 40 minutes and the production is exceptionally good for local demo. None of the songs are over four min- utes, but each is filled with enough catchy hooks to give a college radio listener wet dreams. The tape opens up with "Kickdirt a crunchy, Helmet-style number, then moves into the beautiful "Amethyst a song that has you tapping your feet one second then banging your head the next. "Under the Ocean" and "Forp" are jangly- pop love songs, while "Christine's Dream" and "Condom Nation" are full-out thrashers that will peel the paint off your walls. Randall Rhodes' flanged out bass lines re- mind me of the Cure, which is pretty weird considering the intensity of the rest of the music. The record's lyrical content remains mostly per- sonal, rarely delving into the tired arena of political and social injustice. "I know that a lot of bands like us use a political theme for their lyrics, but we're really not into it said Lawler.

"Amahl" is the story of a crippled shep- herd boy who is visited by the Three Magi on their way to honor the birth of the Christchild in Bethlehem. Amahl receives the first miracle byChrist,culmi- natingoneofthe most touching musical theater pieces to ever grace the stage. The three wise men will be played by indi- viduals from the music depart- ment at ECU: Darryl Taylor, Jay Pierson and H'DaleSmith.In order to over- come possible problems with the part of Amahl, both Kevin Driver and Nathan Maxwell will trade off playing the part. Amahl's mother will be played by Edyth lsaacson- Wagstaff,replai ig Donna Dease. Dease, an associate professor in the School of Music, passed away recently in her sleep. "Amahl and the Night Visi- tors" could be known best for its musical score. Simple and clear tunes dominate this production, almost guaranteeing that the au- dience will enjoy the spectacular. "Amahl" has been consid- ered one of the most popular modern op- eras; more than 400 live perfor- mances annu- ally have been performed and recordings and video tapes continue to sell. "Amahl and the Night Visitors" opens tonight and will run through Dec. 8. Evening perfor- mances on Dec. 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 will draw the curtain at 8 p.m matinees on Dec. 5 and 6 will begin at 2 p.m. Tickets for "Amahl" are $12.50 for the general public and $7.50 for students with a valid ECU I.D. and children under 12.

In summing up the band's ap- peal,Sumner attributed ittotheband's diversesonglistand its lack of political activism while performing. "We don't preach anything, we don't adopt any political views, we're not gonna tell you how to live your life Sumner said. "We're just gonna help you drink your beer When asked about future tape or CD releases, the band said thatitprob- abry wouldn't happen until another year or so, in order to become better and closer as a band. "I feel like a band rtally needs to mature and come together and learn about each other and then put out original material Sumner said. Futureplansfbrtheband include the addition of afifth member in Janu- ary and more concert dates in the region.

However, poor first half execu- tion and suspect inside play plagued East Carolina Tuesday night, in its 65-48 victory against St. Andrews. The Pirates started strong, with guard Lester Lyons and forward Wilbert Hunter leading a 17-6 run that forced Knight coach Ron Lievense to call a time-out. Lievense's team came back strong with six unanswered points, in- cluding a three-pointer by Knight guard John Church. At halftime the Pirates were nursing a seven-point lead as the Knights had battled back to a 21-14 defi- cit. Both offenses started the second half strong, but a Hunter three-pointer and a Ronnell Peterson layup off a steal put the game in the Pirates favor at 29-16 at 17:17 in the half. But once again, after a St. Andrews timeout, the Knights made the game competitive with the play of forward Cedric Brown. After leading by as much as 11, the Pirates now found themselves ahead by only six. But, after Head Coach Eddie Payne called a time- out, they began an offensive assault of their own. The Pirates, frustrated by the Knights' interior defense, struck from the perimeter with Lyons hitting four three-pointers in the second half. With the penetration of freshman guard "Ice" Kareem Richardson drawing Knight de- fenders, the Pirates were given many open shots from the outside, as they pummeled the Knights in the final min- utes of the game. Lyons' last-second three pointer sealed a Pirate victory that brought little in the way of confidence from Payne. "We didn't play well Payne said. "We were offensively out of sync and failed to execute. You can't beat good teams like that Next Tuesday the Pirates must meet UNC-Charlotte, a potential top 25 team.

(Richmond, Va.) out-dated and obsolete By Daniel Willis Staff Writer What constitutes a sport? What re- quirements does ?.n activity have to fill for it to be considered a sport? In the dictionary, a sport is de- fined as any activity which expends physical exertion for recreational purposes. This interpretation is very sound, but slightly out-dated. For this to be taken literally, profes- sional athletes are not playing a sport. They are not performing for recreational purposes, they are doing a job for financial pur poses. Possibly a more accurate definition today would be: A sport is any game which exerts physical energy or puts the body in physical danger. The obvious sports such as basket- ball, football and hockey meet both these requirements. They require physical ex- ertion and put the body in danger. Other activities which are a little more questionable fill only one of these requirements. For example, auto racing does not require incredible physical ex- ertion, just physical endurance. But, the sport does leave the body vulnerable to serious physical danger. Then there are games which are generally considered sports but should not be. Games like golf, 1JC P��'anc bowing- lfok These games have nothing to do with the physical exer- tion of energy. They deal with skills, and techniques. And they definitely don't put the body in pnysical danger. There is a difference between sport and games. Any recreational activity can be considered a game, but physical re- quirements are necessary for it to be categorized as a sport. Tic-Tac-Toe will never be an Olympic event. I know! I know!

See ABC page 16 Pittsburgh Steelers getting help from a higher source Los Angeles Times column St. Peter'sChurch in Pittsburgh, proximate to Three Rivers Stadium, offers its parking lot (and a Mass) to Steelers fans heading to the game. It must be having someeffect because theplace is packed and the team has won five straight at home. One might question why ex-Navy great Joe Bellino is being inducted into the Orange Bowl Hall of Honor in a big ceremony in Miami at the end of the month. While the recently retired Navy reserve captain was brilliant and won the Heisman Trophy as a Mid, he was held to just 4 yards in eight carries while losing to Missouri 21- 14, in the 1961 game. So far, at least, Shaquille O'Neal is doing a good job for the NBA, speaking from a television perspective. His Orlando Magic gameson TNT are matching the ratings the Celtics were accustomed to getting with Larry Bird. Considering Manon Rheaume was inducted into the Women's Sports Hall of Fame last week, what happens if the aspiring hockey goaltender ever climbs above third string for the minor-league Atlanta Knights? Football lost one of its most solid citizens last week when Pete McCulley passed onduetoan apparentheart attack.PetewasatirelessworkerasanassistantatNavy and with the Baltimore Colts. He didn't appear quite ready for the head coaching job when he was thrust into the position by Joe Thomaswith the SanFrancisco49ers. He maintained a home in Annapolis, Md for about 30 years and son Kit, a defensive back, was an Academy grad. I don't know about you, but I sort of enjoyed David Klingler catching his lumps (10 sacks) during Cincinnati's 21-9 crunching by the Steelers Sunday. Recall some of the things Dave and Houston did to some of their opponents while in college: 95 points against SMU, seven touchdowns and 750 yards pass- ing vs. Eastern Washington. Chances are, the best fight on the HBO card out of Atlantic City (Taj Mahal) Saturday will be Percy Harris (15-3) testingformer Olympian Roy Jones (19-0) Jones is all but conceded a world title soon, but classy Harris is not just an "opponent" on the way up. Iran Barkley (29- 7) vs. Robert Folley (22-5) and James Toney (32-0) vs. Doug DeWitt (33-7) head the show.

Whenever the Colts or Orioles would work themselves a sweetheart deal, the other would be hollering bloody murder for similar treatment. Same with the 49ers at present.
