High: 52 The East Carolinian Vol. 68 No. 4 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, January 21, 1993 ECU student wins leadership award 18 Pages By Jennifer Wardrep Staff Writer Susan Stewart, recipient of the 1992 Martin Luther King Jr. Student Leader- ship Award, said the award was both an honor and a surprise. Her award was part of a ceremony held Monday that was sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha fra- ternity in honor of the slain civil rights leader. Awards were also presented to the African-American students in each class with the highest grade point average. Stewart, 19, also received the GP A award for the sophomore class. "I was very surprised she said. "I expected to receive the GPA award be- cause they sent a letter, but I was ex- tremely surprised to win the leadership award. It was a great honor Stewart, a North Carolina Teach- ing Fellow, will major in history and would like to become a high school teacher. "High school really determines whether a young black student, or any student, will go to college she said. "A student needs someone to guide them in that direction and I want to do that for students Stewart plans to eventually earn her doctorate in African-American his- tory. Since ECU only offers one course in the subject, she said she will attend a different university. "I think there is a strong need for teachers in thatarea shesaid. "It's some- thing I've always wanted to do, and I've always been interested in American his- tory in general But Stewart said she thinks history should be taught differently in the nation's public schools. "I do not like the way history is taught in our schools she said. "The texts we use don't present both sides of the story and they tend to downplay the negative aspects Slavery is one part of American his- tory that is often minimalized, she said. "Thereare usually two or three paragraphs about it she said. "They say it was bad, but then they leave it alone Stewart is active in several campus organi- zations and committees. She is assistant to the president of the Student Union and secretary of the Mi- nority Arts Committee. She also repre- sents the Student Union on the Media Board and is a member of Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equality. Stewart received the award for the most outstanding member of the Minor- "High school really deter- mines whether a young black student, or any stu- dent, will go to college' Susan Stewart, Recipient of the Leadership Award ity Arts Committee in 1992.

Non-traditional students increase on cam pus By Jason Williams Staff Writer Followingnationaltrends,ECUhasseenan increase innon-traditional students in recentyears, as part of what Associate Director of University Admissions Marion Sykes calls "the graying of college campuses Though the numbers for the spring semes- ter have yet to be tabulated, population figures for last fall show an increase of nearly 10 percent in non-traditional students from the previous year. During last semester, 709 part-time and 1049 full- time returning adult undergraduates enrolled in classes at ECU. An additional 738 graduate stu- dents fell into the returning adult category. Dr. Lucy Wright, Assistant Dean for Stu- dent Development and Director of Special Popu- lations, was quick to point out that the increasing numbers were partly attributable to the general increase in enrollment of all types of students. "The increase seems proportionate to the increase elsewhere, butovertheyears, wehaveseena slow steady rise in the numbers Wright said. Although any student who doesn't enter college immediately out of high school could be called a non-traditional student, the university places most of them inacategory called returning See Students page 8 Light of Hope Grades remain steady during fall semester ByKaren Hassell Assistant News Editor Photo by Jason Bosch Cold weather did not stop many students, faculty and Greenville residents from participating in a very solemn candlelight march from Christenbury to Mendenhall to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jrs birthday. ECU students' grades remained steady during the fall semester of 1992, despite the slight increase in last fall's average SAT score. Last semester's average SAT score jumped from 889 to 900. "If it went up 700 to 900, you would expect a big jump, but with it only 889 to 900 you can't expect but so much said Ken Lowe of Planning and Institutional Research. The average semester grade point aver- age of freshmen for the fall of 1991 was 2.04, for the fall of 1992 it moved to 2.09. Sopho- more and junior classes kept the same GPA while seniors moved from 2.65 to 2.69. Students earning academic honors at ECU during the fall represent 95 of the state's 100 counties, 40 states and the District of Columbia and 18 foreign countries. A total of 3,953 students earned places on the university's official honors list for the semester, with 448 students on the Chancellor's List, 1252 on the Dean's List and 2,253 on the Honor Roll. See Grades page 8 Textbook prices written in stone By Joe Horst Staff Writer Textbook buyingand sellingatECU has changed little in the pastyears, some- thing that most students don't look for- ward to at the close of each semester. During the last two weeks of each semester, both University Book Exchange (UBE)and the StudentStores get ready to open their doors to long lines of students trying to sell their textbooks back. Both stores hold the same policy regarding prices when students sell their books back. When a student sells a book that he or she purchased as new, at the time of selling, it is then considered a used book. Both bookstores will buy the book back for one-half of the retail (or new) price. If that book is to be used in the following semester, the store will price the used book at three-quarters of the new price and then sell it to a new student. Theamount of ti mesa bookis used has no effect on the used price when another student buys it A book used by one person will have the same price as the same book that has been used by 10 differentpeople.Thestoreswill buy back a used book at one-half the retail price and follow the selling policy listed above. Liz Veytia, textbook manager at UBE, said that the price the store will pay depends on a number of things. "We will buy back bx)ks until our limit is reached Veytia said. "The price will then drop to a wholesale, or ship- ping, price ? Wanda Scarborough, assistant manager of Student Stores, said that Stu- dent Stores also follows the same policy. "We do buy back for a used book company Scarborough said. "That's considerably lower than whatyou would get if the text is used another time in a following semester One of the biggest problems that occurs in the book buy-back process is when the stores send out requisition pa- pers to the university's departments for the books that will be needed in the following semester. "A lot of these book orders are not turned in on time Veytia said. "We then receive a massive number of late requisitions around two weeks before classes Scarborough said thatthedeadline the stores set for the professors to turn in the orders is late February for the sum- mer and fall semesters. "It will depend upon whether the faculty member sends the requisition back in by that day Scarborough said, "how long itwilltakeustoknowwhether or not (the book) will be used Ve tia said that it is not uncom- mon for UBE to get 100 late requisition orders in two weeks before classes start. "lean see 50,butl00?" Veytiaques- tioned. "It takes(UBE) two to three weeks to get books in after they're ordered, so students who need those books just have to wait. "The biggest problem is lack of communication between the faculty and bookstores Nightclub's new owners renovate Mug Shots to offer entertainment alternative By Warren Sumner Staff Writer ECU students and local Greenville resi- dents will soon have a new outlet for their nightime entertainment. MMBInc, thecom- pany that attempted to open a nightclub in the Blount-Harvey building on the Evans St mall in late 1992, has finally succeeded in entering the nightclub business with their takeoverof the buildingthatcurrently houses the New Deli. The company plans to open "Mugshots'aprivateclubmatwill provide entertainment to patrons from ECU and the surrounding Greenville area. The owners of the company, Alex Barletta and Luigi Marchionne, say the prob- lems they encountered with the city in their attempt to open the Blount-Harvey building has prepared them for the opening of "Mugshots They say that they now have a better relationship and understanding with the people of the city. "(At first) I thought they were all a bunch of nu ts against a bunch of Ital ians and Northerners coming down Marchionne saidButtalkingtoDonEdwards(theowner of the Mugshots building) and some of the business people it seems these people are really concerned with their downtown He said that the club will be a first-class estab- lishment that would serve as a credit to the downtown area. Marchionne said that Mugshots will differ quite a bit from the existing New Deli. One such difference will be the entertain- ment brought into theclub.MMB is working IIII I' I 'Hi Mill I ? MUGSHOTS . , , Photo by Dill R??d Renovations have already begun on downtown's former New Deli to turn it into a new nightclub, Mug Shots. with Sunshine Alternative Promotions to secure Mugshot's live entertainment Paul Edwards, the owner of the agency, said that the dub would have an immediate impact on the Greenville music scene. "Through Sunshine I have brought in many of the acts who have come up through the New Deli I'm going to continue to bring in those acts that you have seen at the DelL.the music that the people have really liked in the club will still be there and the music won't change, but we are going to ennance the music of the club and bring in a better variety and a better quality of enter- tainment Barletta said that he and Marchionne have already invested $5(XK) in the renova- tion of the nightclub to date and expect to spend a great deal more. I le said that the installationofheatintheupstairsbarandthe purchase of a new beer cooler will make major improvements that will be noticed by the fu hi re cl ien tele. Former Deli patrons will notice the repainting of the upstairs area as well. Butaccording to Marchionne, the most noticeable change in the club will be its sanitation. "For me cleanliness counts and it (the New Deli) was a mess Barletta, the other half of MMB, has also noticed the poor sani- tary conditions in the Deli. In addition to three calls to an exterminator, Marchionne said a massive cleaning effort was already underwayTt took us two weeks and 25 gallons of cleaner to get the smell out. It's going to look nice See Mug page 8 ? ; 2 The East Carolinian JANUARY 21, 1993 Student removes picture from exhibit The spot where Colorado State University art student Heath Johnson displayed a painting now has a letter from the Children's Television Workshop, the producer of "Sesame Street hanging in its place. Johnson had painted "Sesame's Treat which de- picted the muppet characters Bert and Ernie in an intimate sexual position, with Big Bird watching through the window, and dis- played the art work in a student exhibition. "The whole thing was meant to be a satirical comment he said. "Here's Bert and Ernie living together so long, two guys who would be pinpointed as being gay. They don't date any of the female characters The Children's Television Workshop threatened to sue the university over copyright infringement. Instead of fighting the Children's Television Workshop, Johnson agreed to remove the painting and left the letter in its spot at Colorado State's student center. Paper seeks revenge on regents In protest of the University of California Board of Regents' decision to increase tuition by $605, the student newspaper at UC- Santa Barbara printed the names, addresses and work telephone number of all 18 regents, seven ex-officio regents and the student regent. "We'd like to address a question that has dogged the UC regents at several of your recent meetings a Daily Nexus edito- rial said. "We've heard it issue from your politically appointed lips more than once: 'Really, are we out of touch?' Well, dear regents, sirs and madams,yes The editorial urged students to let the regents know how they felt about the fee hike. The voting records on the tuition increase and some of the regents' home telephone numbers also were published. Four students arrested in rape case Bethune Cookman College officials are studying ways to make the residence halls more secure after four Bethune Cookman students were arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a 14- year-old girl on campus. The victim told police that on Dec. 1 a man stopped to talk to her at a gas station in Day tona Beach. They drank alcohol and smoked marijuana in a campus parking lot. She was then taken tb a dorm room and sexually assaulted, police said. After reviewing the case, prosecutors decided to charge the men with assault rather than rape. A college spoke .woman said the administration is investigating the security in the dorms. She said the suspects were automatically a suspended and will re- main so until the case is adjudicated.

University hate codes becoming less specific By Joe Horst Staff Writer A recent Supreme Court ruling has forced administrators toiookover campus hate codes around the na- tion. In RAV. v. St. Paul, the Su- preme Court concluded that an ordi- nance prohibiting the display of a symbol known to "arouse anger in others on the basis of race, color, creed violated the First Amendmentright to freedom of speech. It based its de- cision on the belief that the ordinance unconstitutionally prohibited "speech on the basis of the sub?xls the speech addresses Ben Irons, the university attor- ney, said mat this ruling limits disci- plinary proced ures to actual conduct, not a person's speech. "The court held, to the best I can understand it, that it was unlawful and unconstitutional for the city of St Paul to issue an ordinance which pro- hibited certain specific utterances while allowing others Irons said. "Someof the legalscholars have called it 'underbreadth' rather than 'overbreadth Irons said, "which is the term that we hear most in these First Amendment cases In the summer of 1992, the fac- ulty Executive Committee proposed changes in ECU'S Racial and Ethnic Harassment policies in accordance with the Court's ruling. The Board of Trustees then approved the change in policy, making the changes effective in late August of 1992. In effect, the policy waschanged by the deletion of two subheadings concemingacrionstakenbyindividu- alstosingleoutothersbecauseof their race or ethnic affiliation. Previously, the university could sanction a student or university em- ployee that "subjected others to ra- cial or ethnic insults, speech or other actions which would haveatendency to cause acts of violence or to harm persons of property With this deletion, the question arose of how a person could seek action against another person who had verbally insulted himher on the basis of race. "If what is said is sufficiently serious, then it would be an opportu- nity to use the disciplinary code Irons said. "We would not penalize a student who allegedly uttered a slur because of what was said. "Rather, we would use letter E in the Code Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Offenses for Students, Student Handbook, 'endangering, injuring or threatening to injure the purpose or property of another Irons said. "As long as the rule prohibits the threat?the danger to persons or property?then if s OK Irons said. "As long as it's not aimed at the specific nature of tl ie speech Most universities around the country are also following this trend by changing their hate codes to a more general base, rather than a spe- cific one. Mark G. Yudof, dean of the law school at the U. of Texas, Austin, said universities that create specific categories of hate speech create their own problems. "The conclusion I would reach from theopinion is that if you take an approach to limiting speech and you create categories, that amounts to a content discriminationandthaf sun- constitutional Yudof said. Others have stated that life at universities becomes difficult if they may have to face racial slurs every day. ECU's Equal Employment Op- portunity officer, Mary Ann Rose, said that universities serve as micro- cosms of society. "Universities should be ex- amples of living civilly Rose said. "Yet at the same time, we cannot violate people rights DougScheidemantel,astudent at Michigan State University, echoes those concerns, "If a person can't go to college and not worry about hav- ing that ha tred directed toward them, it's unfortunate Scheidemantel said.

The nighttime wounding in Mogadishu of another comrade re- minded the more than 500 Marines departingforhome today of thedan- gers of this chaotic land they sought to pacify. The return of the Marines to Camp Pendleton, Calif likely will be the last major withdrawal of American forces from Somalia until the United Nations acts to take over military control from the United States, spokesmen said. The Marine wounded Tues- day night, Warrant Officer Gus Axelson, was shot and wounded in the right shoulder while driving to the former US. Embassy. The bullet shattered the shoulder blade of Axelson, of Las Cruces, N.M who was taken to a Swedish hospital in Mogadishu and was up and walking around today, military spokesmen said. He is the fourth Marine casu- alty since US. forces arrived in So- malia Dec. 9 to provide security for relief workers that this lawless coun- try is rife with bandits, gangs and warring clans. One Marine has been killed and three wounded. Marine Col. Fred Peck said the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, probably will be the only major unit to leave Somalia until the U.N. Secu- rity Council adopts a new resolution necessary for the changeover. U.N. officials say no timetable has been set for a change of com- mand. The Marines sent home 556 troops Tuesday and another 560 to- day, reducing their strength in So- malia to fewer than 9,000. They are among 24,715 Ameri- can troops in Somalia. Another 11,805 international troops are in the coun- try from 20 nations, the nucleus for the U.N. peacekeeping force. Peck had said Sunday that the US. military is "rapidly approach- ing the point where we'll be able to make a very smooth handoff to the U.N. command The US. would like to see the U.N. move quickly to take military control of Somalia so more Ameri- can troops can return home. But U.N. officials indicate mat such a turnover cannot be accom- plished by Feb. 1. And Peck himself said the handover of presidential power from George Bush to Bill Clinton could contribute to delays. The top U.N. enovy to Soma- lia, Ismat Kittani of Iraq, said in New York that before military control is turned over to the U.N "there has to be a secure environment for the de- livery of assistance throughout all Somalia STUDENT UNION SPECIAL EVENTS COIVHVIITTEIE HYPNOTIST Thursday 8:00 pm Hendrix $3 In Advance $5 At The Door TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE CENTRAL TICKET FEATURING AT THE ilU43?7iV1 Rave CLASSICS NIGHT $3.00 Members $4.00 Guests 0 DRAFT ALL NIGHT! $3.00 Teas & Bahama Mamas ? 504 Jello Shots ? 754 Kamikazes i:iu:ia?7iV SWEET 16 NIGHT $1.00 Domestics ? $2.75 Pitchers ? $3.00 Teas & Bahama Mamas 50C Jello Shots ? 75C Kamikazes ? 75? 100 M.P.H. wmmmmmawJM RUSH HOUR FREE Admission for All 7 til 9:00 $3.00Teas & Bahama Mamas ? $2.75 Pitchers ? 50c Jello Shots 750 Kamakazes ? 750 100 M.P.H. wnmmm i?i ?7iVmm WEeKEnd CANOE PaRTY Ifs 7:45 a.m. Your alarmgoesoff You hit snooze lO times.

Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy. "Not change for change's sake, but change to preserve America's ideals ? life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness Clinton said. "Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless Looking back, Clinton sa- luted Bush and thanked "the mil- lions of men and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice tri- umphed over Depression, fascism, and Communism Then looking ahead, he spoke of the new challenges in a remarkably high-tech global economy. "Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world, and the urgent ques- tion of our age is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy the new president declared. "Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America. 'To renew America, we must be bold he continued. 'We must do what no generation has had to do before. We must invest more in our own people and in our own future, and at the same time cut our massive debt. And we must do so in a world in which we must compete for every opportunity In a touching passage, Clinton borrowed Kennedy's call- ing for Americans to think ahead, ask not what the country could do for them but what they could do for it ? and the children of its future. "Our Founders saw them- selves in the light of posterity. We can do no less he said. "Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world to come?the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibil- ity Teachers remember accused shooter as smart, quiet GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) ? A shy honor student accused of shooting to death a teacher and a janitor in front of his classmates recently wrote a book report on a Stephen King novel with a simi- lar plot, a fellow studpnt says. Scott Pennington, 17, was charged with two counts of capi- tal murder and 22 of kidnapping in Monday's 15-minute standoff at East Carter High School in Grayson, a town of 3,500 people in the Appalachian foothills. He was held in a juvenile detention center for a hearing Feb. 5 to decide whether he will be tried as an adult. Police would not discuss a motive for the shootings. Crystal Dyer, a senior who said she witnessed the shooting, said Pennington had written a report recently on the King novel "Rage about a deranged stu- dent who shoots a teacher and holds a class hostage. Police said Pennington walked into his senior English class, pulled a revolver and fired a shot over the head of 48-year- old teacher Deanna McDavid. He then stepped closer to McDavid and shot her in the temple. Janitor Marvin Hicks, 51, rushed into the classroom, pushed a student out of the way and was shot in the abdomen, police said. Dyer said that after Pennington shot the janitor, Pennington "sat down in Mrs. McDavid's chair and asked us, 'How many in here think I'm crazy? 'No one answered Dyer said, "and he said, 'Cat got your tongue? Usually you can't keep your mouths shut Police Officer Larry Green said when he got to the class- room, Pennington had already released the other students. The teen-ager pointed to where he had left the gun on the teacher's desk and gave up without a struggle, Green said.

The East Carolinian ? i January 21, 1993 Opinion Page 6 Clinton must play hardball with Iraq Former president George Bush has left some unfinished business for Bill Clinton to take care of in his first day of office. On Jan. 13, Bush ordered troops stationed in Iraq to commence bombing raids. These raids were in retaliation for Iraq firing on U.S. planes in two "no-fly" zones in northern and southern Iraq, and because of Saddam Hussein's refusal toallow U.N. inspectors to inspect Iraq's nuclear weapons. A week later, officials in Iraqhavepromised to hold off firing at allied aircraft if the bombing raids are halted. Iraq said it wanted to give newly-elected president Clinton a calmer atmosphere in order to fully study the situation. Iraq has also said that the attacks serve no purpose as they will not force cooperation with the U.N. inspectors. Problems have arisen with the allied forces, as some Arab states have begun distancing themselves from the war. Russia has also demanded that the United States get explicit permission from the United Nations before any further raids are ordered. Though some have seen the United States' use of force as heavy-handed, Clinton said Monday that he "will not waver" from Bush's policies. Clinton needs to stand by this promise in order to ensure that the United States stands as a decisive power in the world. Indecision and confusion will only relate to other countries that our government is weak and unable to stand up for its own convictions. The question of whether or not Bush should have initiated the strikes is a moot one. What's done is done and history cannot be changed. What faces Clinton is the task of ensuring that Hussein and Iraq comply with the U.N. deci- sions. Recently, Hussein has ordered an increase in the food rations given to Iraqis. Clinton should not be fooled by either the cease-fire promise or this seemingly humanitarian act. As Hussein tries to show he is a benevolent leader, he has broadcasted that he will pay a $15,000 reward to any "heroes" that shoot down an enemy missile. Hussein showed in the first part of the Gulf War that he could not be trusted; after the troops had been removed for the most part from Iraq, he continued to defy the United States and the United Nations jointly. His two-faced approach to this most recent skirmish should not have been unexpected. Clinton must stand tough in one of his most important decisions since becoming President. Iraq must be made to comply with U.N. sanctions and restrictions; if force is deemed necessary, then so be it. After this decision is made, Clinton can continue his tough stance by addressing some of the major problems here at home. By Gregory Dickens Members of Congress support Freedonia As the new Congress hangs out its shingle for its new session, the media continues to reiterate the fact that there are so many new members and how they were elected in a fervor of frustration directed at the elder statesmen who had become em- "It's a different situation than the Middle East' Steve Buyer (R-lnd.) on U.S. involvement in "?reedonia" barrassments. The hip, '90s Congress is supposed to be forthright and responsible when compared to the bums who were thrown out for their jaded, weaseling ways. Those evil S.O.B(s) had gotten too savvy and corrupt for the reform-minded who gathered momentum and voted away from those previously-elected (boo! hiss! boo!). The new breed was to be without political blemish; ordi- nary citizens who had cobbled together the gumption in an at- tempt to replace those who knew too much with those who would learn the ropes as they went along. They were to be a fresh start, our generation's pride. Keep this in mind. Soon after being sworn in and having moved in to their offices, the new members of Congress received phone calls from individuals identifying themselves as being from a rad io talk show. The callers asked our pride-and-joy for their opinions on "the ethnic cleansing in Freedonia Nick Smith (R- Mich.) said "My impression is we've gotta be very careful, that moving through the United Nations effort has a great deal of merit right now James Talent (R-Mo.) responded, "I think anything we can do to use the good offices of the U.S. gov- ernment to assist stopping the killing over there, we should do Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) ap- proved of our involvement say- ing: "It's a different situation than the Middle East And Corrine Brown (D-Fla) ended her comments with: "I think all of those situations are very, very sad, and I just think we need to take action to assist the people However, the callers were actually from Spy magazine, the lampoon committed to embar- rassing public figures and not only were the Congressmen not on a radio show, they obviously were not aware that there is no Freedonia (it was the setting for Duck Soup, one of the Marx Brothers' movies). Now, I'll be the first one to admit that no one wants to show how little they know about something, especially when you think you are on a live radio interview. No one wants to look like an idiot. Now a great deal of egg is on the faces of these saps. Spy conducted a series of pranks, this one being the best constructed, under the theme of hazing the "freshmen Surely, a noble objective. But this experiment reveals a large prob- lem. Are these morons unable to recognize a fake country from a real one? There's a lack of basic geography here that should be addressed before we start send- ing Marines God knows where. Perhaps an entrance exam for office should be implemented. A little geography, some math before tackling that pesky defi- cit and Clinton's proposed cut- backs, possibly bookkeeping so we won't have to endure a check-bouncing scandal again. Oh, and an ethics course to assuage concerns before another harassment suit hits the capitol steps. Think of it, actual criteria for judging knowledge before choosing a candidate.

THE BUCK STOPS HERE By Mike Joseph Baby-boomers to lead nation under Clinton With all the hullabaloo about Bill and Hillary Clinton rep- resenting the rise to power of the baby-boom generation, I decided to do an informal, non-academic Boomers spent thousands of hours trying to find out fust who or what screwed them up so badly. analysis of just what that generation is and what it represents as the new leadership of the most powerful nation on earth. First of all, the baby-boomer generation includes the roughly 75 million Americans born be- tween 1946 and 1964. This huge chunk (about one-third) of the U.S. population has cut a unique swath through American society, pushing older and pulling younger generations along with it. When boomers began to reach their teens in the sixties, their long-haired, drop-out, free- loving, psychedelic, groovy search for the meaning of life permeated the nation. In the seventies, the older boomers began to realize that nude outdoor meditation and organic gardening were tough ways to make a living. So the generation marched into the eighties with their MBAs and began buying BMWs with their Visa cards. They also dominated markets and the media. For example, boomers be- gan pushing their late thirties in the mid-1980s. When approach- ing middle age brought broader waistlines, gray hair and crows feet, the market exploded with health clubs, fad diets, Nordic- tracks, hair color "because I'm worth it" and an inexhaustible sea of flesh sponges for Esoterica face cream. The media responded with Greek god and goddess images of what a human being should look like and drove many normal people into despair. Despair is another trade- mark of the generation ? it be- came fashionable for boomers to see themselves as victims. Therapy support groups and 12- step programs sprang up like alfalfa, and boomers spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars trying to find out just who or what screwed them up so badly. Boomers spend money wildly. Western Media Corpora- tion president Phil Goodman be- lieves that boomers have experi- enced plentiful timesall their lives and have been brought up to spend rather than to save. Boomers have a great deal of unsecured debt and high mortgages, which causes concern in the banking industry. What's more, Northwestern National Life Insurance Co. predicts that retirees needing home healthcare in 2011 will deplete thei r assets in one year. As a consequence, baby- boomers may continue working into their '70s or '80s. Another drain on boomer pocketbooks is children. Baby- boomers have now produced about50 million children of their own (as a result, a boom of new consumer parenting products has begun). Boomers have sought to make good homes for their off- spring, and so have migrated to the suburbs, which gave rise to such thingsas shopping malls and inner-city blight. Boomers should also be con- cerned about the tiny generation caught between the baby- boomers and boomer children. The tiny generation has been tagged "baby-busters and they hate the boomers. According to Moira Farr of the Utne Reader, busters see in boomers a show of over-confidence, arrogance, moral superiority and a distorted view of history. Largely because of boomer social gluttony, 63 percent of busters feel it will be harder for them to live as comfortably as the boomers. But despite the busters, Bill Clinton has taken his generation to the White House; and Bill Clinton is a classic baby-boomer. He comes from a dysfunctional family. He was born William Jefferson Blythe IV on August 19, 1946, but got "Clinton" from his mother's second (of five) husband (who turned out to be an abusive alcoholic). During the sixties, Clinton experimented with drugs and protest (without really inhal- ing either); eventually became a careerist with an impressive re- sume (Rhodes Scholar, Yale Law, Governor of Arkansas); and seems happily married to a- woman who is probably stronger and more astute than he is. Only time will tell how ef- fective the new generation will be at leading the nation. One thing that seems clear is a distinct lack of any identifiable morality or the kinds of values that distinguish great leaders. Perhaps the values are there, buttheyare hard to see, buried as they are in such liberal catch-phrases as "political cor- rectness" and "globally Boomers should also be concerned about the tiny generation between the baby-boomers and boomer children. connected Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. has put forward the thesis that American politics runs in 30-year cycles. Teddy Roosevelt at the beginning of the century, hUK in the early thirties, Kennedy in 1960 ? all represent new, relatively youthful blood coming to power to get the nation moving again. If there is any value to Schlesinger's thesis, then Clinton is right on time. It is important to note, how- ever, that after a few years of civic enthusiasm, the nation tends to turn to more private pursuits, cre- ating the Roaring Twenties, the Eisenhower years and theReagan era. If Clinton is as reckless at pushing bigger government as typical baby-boomers have been known to be with other things, the Roaring 21st Century might start in 1996.

The only increases in grade point averages occurred in the freshman and senior classes. Cumulative averages actu- ally went down from the fall of 1991 to the fall of 1992 from 2.18 to 2.15. Lowe said the grades se- niors made would not likely be linked in any way to the new SAT scores. The affects should show up mostly in the freshman class, which displayed only a slight gain. Only 18.1 percent of fresh- men entering the university in 1987 graduated in four years at ECU compared to UNC-Chapel Hill's 61.3 percent.

The job involves looking after a blind relative while the family goes on vacation. However, the relative in question is retired Lieu- tenant Colonel Frank Slade (Al Pacino). He's loud, crude, brash and he immediately preys on Charlie's quiet, acquiescent de- meanor. As soon as the family leaves, he whisks Charlie onto a plane bound for New York City, where Frank intends to "take a last tour of the battleground "I plan to stay in a first-class hotel (the Waldorf-Astoria), eat an agreeable meal, make love to a ter- rific woman and blow my brains out Charlie is expectedly un- settled. He is suddenly a seeing- eye dog for a heavy-d linking, spite- ful, blind man with suicidal ten- dencies in New York City. Also, Charlie is in trou bleat school where he is being threatened with expul- sion unless he rats on his prank- playing friends, and offered a Harvard scholarship if he does. The advertisements for Scent of A Woman emphasize Pacino's performance ? this is with good reason. It's hard to measure his performance because Frank is such a believable character thatit'ssimi- lar to comparing two different in- dividuals. While obnoxious and outspoken, he is also so sarcastic and blatant he becomes ingrahat- ECU grad defines music industry ByJoeHorst Staff Writer Photo courtesy Universal Pictures Al Pacino stars as Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, a blind man who wants to have one last fling in New York before commiting suicide. Chris O'Donnell plays his "seeing-eye person ing. Frank's means of noticing and appreciating what is around him withouthissightareimpressive(he can identify a woman's brand of perfumeand soap from yardsaway, a la Hannibal Lecter, hence the movie's title). He waxes philosophi- cal overwomen and Ferraris,drinks constantly (he orders John Daniels saying, "he may be Jack to you but when you've known him as long as I have ). And in a moment of relaxation Frank teaches a total stranger how to tango before her boyfriend arrives. Bo Goldman's script has its strongest moments when Charlie and Frank discuss lifestyles and backgrounds. It makes for great conflict; Frankhas rebuilt his world and the manner in which he lives in it upon being blind; Charlie has allowed others to structure his life. Both are influenced by the other. It is this growth by both characters that makes the impending scene involving Frank's intention to kill himself both believable and well- constructed. Scent is basically a two- person drama and depends on its capable actors. The weakness of the screen- play occurs with Charlie's plotline atschool.Theclimaxisdebatablein resolution buttheacting by all those involved carries it well. And itdoes giveCharlieacatharsisofsorts,soit completes its primary function in the story. However, it reeks of Dead Poets' Society. Director Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run) handles every scene with equal attention and style and his actors certainly don't hurt the end product with their stage experience. Scent of A Woman comes across as a strong, well-performed taleinwhichPacino dominates the screen and O'Donnell shows how much potential he has. Hard drinking, hard par- tying and hard music that lasts the whole night long. That's how a lot of people view the music industry and the people who work in it. But Matt Howard, an ECU gradu- ate, works with Capricorn Records in the publicity de- partment, and can tell you that it's not all just a day in the park. "People see this business as a glamour industry, but it's not all just fun and games Howard said in an interview. "Imagine trying to study for three exams that are all on the same day, pick up your girl- friend from work, wash your car and pay bills all at the same time for eight hours a day Howard graduated from ECU in May of 1992 with a degree in Music Business. "I graduated on May 9 and the Monday after that, I loaded ev- erything I owned into a U-Hau 1 and headed for Nashville Tenn.J Howard said. Howard works in the pub- licity department and as an as- sistant to the publicity man- ager. He handles all tour press servicing (distributing press materials to towns on a sched- uled tour), handles college pa- pers and keeps track of all press clippings for Capricorn groups, such as Widespread Panic and The Zoo. When asked about the in- dustry as a whole, Howard said that contacts are the key. "It is a who-knows-who industry Howard said. "People have friends and talk. Once you get in, it's your job to impress people Once you mess up, you're out, change your career Howard got his start in the business just the same way. He flooded the Nashville area with resumes beginning with his junior year at ECU. By January of his senior year, Howard had made friends with people at the Country Music Association. From this one contact his ca- reer started. "We talked regularly on the phone and then one day she said, 'Expect a call from Capricorn Records Howard said. "Five minutes later, the phone rang and it was my present boss. It all rolled from there Howard also talked about the label that persons involved in the music industry get. Terms range from "a bunch of drunken, sex-craved lunatics" to those "record heads Howard admits that it's a wild industry, full of far-out people. But he told how the stereotypes get taken too far. "My roommate and I have been turned away from rent- ing houses because of our jobs Howard said.

In following suit after the concen- trated-pockets-of-hyper-music-activity phenomenon which is sprawling amid the increasing abundance of live and recorded musical output by bands in places such as Chapel Hiil, Wilmington, Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro, Greenville is gradually etching a wor- thy notch for itself in the state's note- worthy "music scene" map. And in fol- lowing with demoEPLP releases by Greenville's The Kill Kids, Earth Murchants and Fountain of Youth (among others) that are available to the public, today local record stores will begin stocking a seven-song offering by Breed 13. On Saturated, Breed 13 sets a palat- able spread of technified smash-rock tunes caked in digital delay, grounded on unpredictable, (mostly) original chord patterns, and produced quite pro- fessionally. Recorded and mixed at Re- flection Studios in Charlotte over the Christmas holiday, Saturated is avail- able on cassette for $5 at CD Alley and Quicksilver Records.

You'll have to travel an hour and a half to Raleigh's Rialto the- ater to see it. However, if you take the road-trip you won't be disappointed. From the director of the highly ac- cla imed Mona Lisa, The Crying Game takes its audienceon a roller coaster ride filled with intrigue, terrorism, and twists. Di- rected and written by Neil Jordan, the movie contains an excellent cast. The Crying Game begins with the kidnapping of Jody, an English sol- dier, played by Forest Whitaker. His kidnappers turn out to be part of the Irish Republican Army that wants an imprisoned comradeireed, if not Jody will be killed. While he is held captive, Jody slowly wins the friendship of Fergus, played by Stephen Rea. The scenes between Jody and Fergus are filled with tight, witty dia- logue that brings the two together. Jody implores Fergus to take care of his girl in the event he is killed. The impending execution of Jody furthers the tenseness of the situation when, finally, the order is given: Fergus must shoot Jody. Out in the woods where the ex- ecution is to take place, Jody runs, forc- ing Fergus to chase him. Jody then reaches a road where a British tank hits and kil Is him. The British force goes on to kill most of the I.R.A. soldiers, except Fergus and two others, who aren't aware See Game page 11 By Tammy Fedder Staff Writer Often when a Hemingway novel is spoken of, readers think of For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises or perhaps The Old Man and the Sea. Flashes of Hemingway in a past literature class may entice, but more likely intimidate, younger readers. But The Garden of Eden should not be left off your reading list. The novel opens in the southern coast of France d uring the mid '20s. David Bourne is a young writer honeymooning with his bride, Catherine. David has just published his firstnovel, and his wife is independently wealthy. Their days are filled with Perrier, nude sunbathing and swimming and making love. Early in the novel Catherine crops her long, dark hair. With a boyish new style, her character begins to change. As they are making love she telis David they have switched sexes. As the day s progress, Catherine bleaches her hairaspaleas possible, begins to wear the garb of local fishermen, and persuades David to do the same. Humoring her, he lets her have her way. While lunching one day, Catherine chances to meet an intriguir vung woman, Marita. Soon after their in- troduction, Marita announces her love for Catherine. Not completely surprised by this announcement, he accepts the young woman's pres- ence as inevitable, although his jeal- ousy is apparent. In Garden, Hemingway mas- ters a story within a story by using David'swritingasa descriptive nar- rativeat its finest. The settingmoves to Africa with a tale of a young boy, his father and their hunt for an old elephant with tremendous tusks. They are accompanied by a native of the area, Juma. This tale is capti- vating on its own as the boy learns to love the elephant and hate his father and Juma for hunting it. Ironically, Catherine harbors a growing jealousy for David's writ- ing while Marita encourages it. Gradually Catherine (now being convinced of her lesbianism) with- drawswhileat the same timepush- ing Marita (now becoming hetero- ERNEST HEMINGWAY 7k Cfiiim. ofEiut A NOVEL See Garden page 11 10 The East Carolinian JANUARY 21, 1993 ? Why chronic dieting doesn't work Only 5 percent of all dieters will have maintained their weight loss at the end of one year.That'snottooencouraging when you consider the average American diets 3 times annu- ally. Why are so many people involved in this self-defeating , act? An obses- sion with thin- ness and the limited view j that dieting will help you lose weight has Ameri- cans running to buy JF diet aids to the tune of $10 billion per year.The bottom line is that "diets" don't work. Dieting Attitudes One comedian said that the root of the word diet is "to die It conjures up the dying urge to eat, and a life filled with wilted celery sticks. The common phrase "going on a diet" gives you the feeling that it is some- thing you start but are able to quit. The thought of dieting makesyouhungryforfoodsyou had even forgotten about. Diet- ing may be the "in" social thing to do but the statistics show that it simply not working. Why Diets Don't Work People who diet often can lower their metabolisms enough todecreasetheircaloric needs. This can be done in two ways: ? First, a d iet of less than 1,000- 1,200 caloriescan actually causea starvation-like state and force your body to conserve , calories. The body will cutback its ca- fe loric needs to sur- vive. Therefore, you won't lose more in the long run K on a 500 calories diet than you would on one above 1,000 calories. This starva- tion state can lower the metabo- lism for as much as one year. ? Second, crash dieting can change the body's composition. Let's say you lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Most of that weight was water (5 pounds), some was fat (3 pounds)and the rest wasmuscle(2 pounds). When the weight is re- gained (as 95 percent do), it comes back in the form of fat and water. Every future diet can cycle this downward trend of muscle loss until the chronic dieter can change their percentage of body fat over time from 25 percent to 35-40 per- cent. Surprisingly, the scale may not show large amounts of weight change. Muscle burns up more calories than fat and their chronic dieting has made them lose a large percentage of what helps them keep trim. This yo-yo effect of depriva- tion and regaining can harm the body. It is better to never have dieted at all than to keep losing and regaining the same 10-20 pounds. What Does Work What does help lose and maintain weight ishealthy eat- ing habitsand food choicesand a more active lifestyle. Take a fresh look at your daily diet and exercise ? get rid of the idea that a diet is something to end u re for a month a fter which you can go back to your old habits. Make short and long term goals to slowly change your lifestyle to include healthier food choices and to be more active at work and play. You'll be healthier and happier when you give up di- eting and will be closer to achievinga permanent weight change by focusing on thequal- ity of your diet and exercise habits.

This is where the movie turns toward Fergus, who his decided to find and meet Dill, Jody's girl, played by lave Davidson. The two start to hit it off when the major twist of The Crying Game takes place, a situa- tion which Fergus finds hard to accept between he and Dill. Things get worse when one of Fergus' old I.R. A. pals from the kidnapping shows up and in- forms him that he has to make a hit or they'll kill him and Dill. From here, despite his problem with Dill, Fergusdoeseverything he can to save her. The action and suspense of The Crying Game keeps the atten- tion of the audience glued to the screen and are two of its major assets, but it's Fergus' character thatmakes the movie such a win- ner. Neil Jordan's direction and telling of the interesting slice of Fergus' life shows how a caring person handles a life full of trouble. Complicated, but in no way confusing, the plot has you guess- ing what will happen next. The beauty of The Crying Came rests in the fact that slowly you come to realize that the story's power lies not in the twists and turns but in its consistencies. Especially the solid character of Fergus. Compelled to see The Cry- ing Game because of its build up of a suspense movie, audience's will surely Find the movie's merit, not in the action, but in the subtle story of one man's ability to give a little of himself for those around him.

That is, unless it's the offspring of Fox Broadcast- ing, whose first-ever Tuesday lineup is more on the order of, say, Thursday's child: far to go. Nevertheless, Tuesdaymarked the long-delayed, somewhat- awaited premiere of Fox's seventh nightof programming, wifh "Class of '96" at 8 p.m. EST and "Key West"at9p.m.EST. In a nutshell: "Class" dis- missed; "West" goes south. Of the pair, the latter series is the greater disppointment because, to its credit, "Key West" actually aspires to something new .Not new new. But at least new as in, say, "Northern Exposure" new. Unfor- tunately, it falls short. "Class on the other hand, is a dippy youthfest that claims "Beverly Hills 90210" as a cousin and last summer's shortlived "Freshman Dorm" as a prerequi- site. This Fox carbon copy, which is set at a small northeastern private college, is distinguished by fewer bikinis and more ivy than "Freshman's" West Coast seat of learning. That's a letter grade off, from the get-go. "Class" also has an irritating tone of sensitivity, the sort of pre- ciousness that ended up driving us crazy on "thirtysomething Perhaps it'snocoincidence that Peter Horton directs the first I "Class" episode, is listed as "series consultant" and appears as a col- lege professor sort of like Prof. Gary Shepherd the role Horton played on "thirtysomething Why go on? It's dumb yet harmless. But if you're expecting more, skip "Class Now,headingdownHighway Breed lwe arrive at "Key West Its namesake, the Florida burg at the southernmost tip of the con- tinental U.S. is, of course, a tropical paradise and a fabled catchbasin for drifting eccentrics who might otherwise just wash out to sea. Because of this, and Key West's visual appeal, you have a lively setting for a comedy-drama series. But why does everyone on "Key West" have to be such a car- toon? The hooker with the heart of gold, the New Age lawman, the blind newspaper editor, a Cajun cook named Gumbo each seems more contrived than the last. More to the point, why are they so doggone irritating? No wonder the nice nutty people went the op- posite direction, to "Northern Exposure's" Cicely, Alaska. But the biggest flaw of "Key Wesf'isitscentralconceit: thatour hero, Seamus (Fisher Stevens), is a New Jersey factory worker who wins the lottery and moves to this homeplace of Papa Hemingway and Tennessee Williams to fulfill his dream as a novelist There, he wangles a job at the local newspa- per, where, as a reporter, he can hone his craft as Hemingway did. The fact that Seamus is in Key West by choice, with lots of money in his pocket, and with nothing in particular at stake, robs the show of much of its edge. Far more pro- vocative is "Northern Exposure's" Manhattan transplant, Dr. Heischman, who is not just a fish out of water in Cicely, but held against his will in this community he won't admit he likes. If it does nothing else, "Key West" makes all too clear how ac- complished "Northern Exposure" is at making oddballs appealing and genuinely human. Continued from page 9 but admit Breed 13 is the major (priority) they're pursuing while in college. "We'd like to make it (with Breed 13) they concurred. In about 35 minutes of re- corded mu sic and sound s (incl ud- ing a 17-second, bong-hitting blurb), Breed 13 covers a some- what varietal rock music spec- trum, their most effective artistic approaches being stark volume level-switching and a unique tech- nique that fluxes a song from dense to thin and back again within three minutes-ten. Singer Rice belts exceptional vocals on every track, particularly on "One Last Crossover" and "Ra- diance of Edwardia certainly Saturated's best tunes. The prob- lem with Rice's vocals (on record at least), however, is the too-of ten and too-heavy chorus and delay effects that soak (and occasion- ally drown) his voice. Not only does Rice's voice sound (unfortu- nately, despite the inadvertant link with the album title) satu- rated, and a touch unreal (like Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell often sounds on record), the band's lyrics?some of which are thoughtful and quite intelligent? usually range from muddy to in- decipherable, despite Saturated's dandy overall production. Nunn's guitar work is the sav- ing-grace backbone to Breed 13, and his playing is the most cre- ative of the four players. Though slick distortion and delay effects seem just as important to Breed 13's guitar sound as they do to its vocals, Nunn works exception- ally hard with every lick he plays, supplying the songs with meaty musical melodies and, in "Satu- rated" and "Celia the needed originality to prevent a constant case of dull, dry, one-listen-is- enough syndrome. The band says its songcrafting is a collaborative process, though Rice writes about 90 percent of the lyrics, most of which seem to follow in the style of the cerebral, sci-fi poetics of (Rush's) Neil Peart. Hylton, guitarist-turned- bassist, plays hard bottom bass lines, which, when they deviate from following major chords or mimicking Nunn's notes, embel- lish Breed 13's originality and up the band's "hearty package" sound status to "way coolstel- lar Almost as inspiring as Nunn's musicianship is the taut and Music uppity drumming by Kent. Also influenced by Peart, Kent plays hiskitfullyonSflfHrated and mixes up tempos enough to add needed spice in some places and hints at what could sound explosive on stage in others. The only com- plaint with Kent's playing is an (over)use of his machine-gun, super staccato, double kick drum pedal. In addition to the release of Saturated, Breed 13 is starting to play regularly around North Carolina, including upcoming gigs in Nags Head, Wilmington, Booneand (of course) Greenville.

The East Carolinian January 21, 1993 Sports Page13 ECU snaps losing streak against GMU By Warren Sumner Assistant Sports Editor "Hallelujah, praise the Lord East Carolina Head Coach Eddie Payne counted his blessings after the Pirate basketball team broke a seven- game losing streak with a 68-64 victory over the George Mason Patriots Monday night. Payne's squad re- lied on hard-nosed de- fense and intense all- around play from for- ward Anton Gill to scratch their way past the Patriots and achieve their first vic- tory in CAA competi- tion. The Patriots started the game strong, frustrating the Pirates with the out- side production of guard Derek Shackelford, who hit three first-half three pointers. The Patriots held ECU at bay through- out much of the first half by defending against the shooting talent of Lester Lyons, holding the Pi- rates' main offensive threat to just five points. George Mason left the floor at the half nursing a 33-27 lead over the resil- ient Pirates. ECU shocked the Patriots as play resumed with a 6-0 run that tied the score at 1858 in the half. The inside play of Anton Gill and Ike Copeland proved to be too much for the Patriots as the Pirates battled to a 13-point advantage with 11:38 remaining. The Patriots, however, were unwill- ing to concede defeat, as three baskets by Donald Ross in the span of a minute brought his team thundering back. The Patriots eventually tied, and a long-awaited Pirate victory seemed in doubt, but ECU held the Patriots off with good shooting from the line in the final three minutes to finalize a much- needed Pirate vic- tory. Eddie Payne, after the end of the game said that the Pirates' battling style of play Mon- day night would be representative of the rest of the sea- son. "We don't have a lot of offensive weapons Payne said. "We'regoingto have to claw scratch, bite and gouge to win games Anton Gill lead the Pirates with a "double-double scoring 17 points and collecting 10 rebounds. Dee Copeland also frustrated the Patri- ots, collecting seven boards and 14 points from the inside. The Pirates meet Florida Atlantic to- night in Minges at 7:00. Photo by Blft Hanson Michael Cooper?

(AP) ? Crass to class. The Buffalo Bills would like to complete that image transfor- mation as they prepare for their Super Bowl meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. This year's Bills say they've learned from themselves and from their opponents the impor- tance of keeping trash talk to a minimum. "When you win, you say little. When you lose, you say less defensive end Bruce Smith said, crediting the saying to Bills general manager Bill Polian. That explains why the Bills have been particularly humble following thei - three playoff vic- tories, declinir g opportunities to gloat over their defeated oppo- nents. It's a change from the recent past, when a penchant for speak- ' ing first and thinking later got Buffalo in trouble. The Bills are allowing others to talk while they concentrate on winning. The Bills, losers of the last two Super Bowls, said trash talk by playoff opponents Houston, Pittsburgh and Miami helped motivate them on their path to a Super Bowl matchup against Dallas on Jan. 31. "We learned a lot last year in the Super Bowl nose tackle Jeff Wright said, referring to the Bills' 37-24 loss to Washington. "You can't talk a good game. You've got to show up. Maybe we talked too much and didn't show up Last year, several Bills popped off duringthe week lead- ing up to their game against the Redskins. Defensive end Bruce Smith was angered by hate mail he termed "racist running back Thurman Thomas crusaded for more respect, tight end Butch Rolle complained about lack of playing time and defensive end Leon Seals wanted out of Buf- falo. Maybe the talk had no im- pact on the game, but the Bills say they've learned it's wiser to remain silent. "I think experience helps, and maturity, and that's what's happened here center Kent Hull said after the Bills' 29-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in the AFC championship. It was the Dolphins' bad- mouthing of the Bills that pumped up Buffalo. "The guys who were doing the talking ? Louis Oliver, Bryan Cox, Marco Coleman ? these are young guys Thomas said. "They've got to be more careful what they say, because if you say stuff about an indi- vidual or an organization or a team all it does is motivate the players, and that's exactly what it did for us Added Jim Kelly: "You look at our ballclub, we've been through it so many times. "I know there were a few times where we might have been doing the talking, but the Dol- phins are young. They'll learn Ken Davis said the Bills have learned ? "the hard way over a number of years. You can't talk about what you've got to do. You've got to do it "I think we're more mature overall Davis said. "We know what to expect so you're kind of more low-key about things Hull said the Bills will use past Super Bowl winners as ex- amples. "I thought the Giants were a class act. I thought the Redskins were a class act he said. "Not to say that we weren't, but I just felt they handled them- selves very well. 'There's no reason for the quality of people that we have on this team that we can't be a class organization Coach Marv Levy has long stressed to his players that they refrain from making provocative statements. Smith said the Cowboys talk, but "their talk is much different from some other players' talk, such as maybe Oliver. "When they do talk, they talk with respect for the opposing team and at the same time, they like to compliment themselves. There's nothing wrong with that Anyone who watches television in the wee hours of the morning has undoubtedly seen commercials featuring scantily-clad, sultry women practically begging for someone to call and keep them company. While the images on screen are enticing, the price tag attached to the dubious thrill of talking to purportedly bodacious babes (often with names like "Inga" or "Babette") is usually staggering, typically in the neighborhood of $2.99 per minute (you must be 18 or older to call; Visa and MasterCard accepted.) With the advent of the glorious 900- number industry has come a slew of greedy "businessmen" out to make a quick and easy chunk of change through the readily-available medium of the telephone. What could be easier than sitting an unseen (and possibly very unattractive) woman down by the phone to talk to some lonely guy for three bucks a minute? Not much could be easier, and it grows more apparent each day as more and more "reputable" establishments go the path of the 900-number to fast cash. "What self-respecting institution would enter into such a disgusting display of con- sumer pillaging?" you might ask. Does the name East Carolina University ring a bell? Alas, 'tis true. This great university of ours now offers the "Pirate Hotline a daily recorded message dictated by none other than Jeff Charles, the "Voice of the Pirates Mr. Charles "provides actualities" on the hotline (whatever that means) for the low, low cost of only $.99 per minute. Even better, through a probably very lucrative deal between ECU and TRZ Sports Services, fans everywhere can listen to Pirate sports on the phone for "as low as $.20 per minute making the cost of listening to an average Pirate basketball game somewhere just under $31. A ticket to see a Pirate basketball game in Minges Coliseum costs the general public $7. One need not be an economics major to see that you could take a family of four to see the entire game for less than the price of listening to it on the phone, and still have money left over for popcorn. The question is really of value; you could sit at home on the phone with a crick in your neck and try to envision Lester Lyons ram- ming the ball home for $31, or you could go to Minges and see the whole thing in all of its exciting, sweaty splendor and in full color 3- D for the low, low price of $7 (need not be 18 or older to attend). The choice should be easy. Unless, of course, your date with Inga and Babette is running into overtime Da' Bears find new head coach LAKE FOREST, Dl. (AP) ? Dave Wannstedt is ready to launch a new era in the tradition-wrapped lore of the Chicago Bears, a comer- stone franchise of the National Foot- ball League. The defensive coordinator of theSuper Bowl-bound DallasCow- boyswasnamed the lOthhead coach of da' Bears Tuesday, succeeding the immensely popular but some- times raging Mike Ditka. Ditka, hired 11 years ago al- most to the day by team founder George Halas, was fired by club president Michael McCaskey two weeks ago after compiling a 112-68 record, including the Super Bowl championship in 1986. "He is the right man for the right job McCaskey said in an- nouncing the hiring of Wannstedt, who in four years under Jimmy Johnson in Dallas put together the No. 1 defense in the NFL after the Cowboys had gone 1-15 in 1989. "If this is the passing of the torch, this is the right time to do it said McCaskey. "1 think the fans will take to him and really like the style that will be played by da'Bears on the field Wannstedt, 40, was sought by several clubs, including the New YorkGiants,whoreportedly offered him $3 million over five years. Terms of his Bears contract were not re- vealed,butthosenumberscouldbe close. "The decision was easy said Wannstedt. "You look for a situa- tion with an organization fhatgives a coach the opportunity to win and to win for a long time. I feel very comfortable and I'm very excited about the direction the Chicago Bears will take during the '90s After the announcement was made in Soldier Field, Wannstedt was whisked to Halas Hall where he met with the assistant coaches and front office personnel. "I was very honest with them and they appreciated that he said of the assistants. "I will hire my coordinators first and then assemble the position coaches Wannstedtsaid itwould be safe to assume he would hire his own offensive coordinator to replace GregLandry and thathehad talked with defensive coordinator Vince Tobin, "and he understands the di- rection I want to go Wannstedt, before leaving for Dallas "to start reviewing film on Buffalo said he would devote the next two weeks to preparing the Cowboys' defense for the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills. "My duties with da' Bears will not kick in until after the Super Bowl he said. When they do, he can expect to be judged against Ditka, whose record and tenure with da' Bears were second only to Halas, who had a 326-151-32 record in more rhan36years in four different terms. Wannstedt's career is remark- ably similar to Ditka's. Both grew up in western Penn- sylvania. Both played college foot- ball at Pitt and both were assistants at Dallas before getting their first head coaching job with da' Bears w 14 The East Carolinian JANUARY 21, 1993 1992-93 East Carolina Pirates ttanuzutuufr "Went, xte6e(&4tt ScfadcdA First Row (l-R): Manager Jimmy Argent, Greg James, Curley Young, Ike Copelanc, Ronnel Peterson, James Lewis, Kareen Richardson, T.J.

What is it with New York and sports celebrities, anyway? How come everybody still takes the calls, but nobody takes the job anymore? Up until Tuesday, there was reason to think this love-hate relationship was strictly a "baseball thing That free agents like David Cone, Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux, after being wined and dined in New York, chose Kan- sas City, San Francisco and At- lanta instead because the memo- ries were still fresh of how Yan- kee acquisition Ed Whitson was once chased across a parking lot by angry fans and how Met Bobby Bonilla lost 50 points off his batting average in just one year. But no. Tuesday brought the sug- gestion that it is becoming a "football thing" as well. Barely two weeks after Tom Coughlin said he wouldn't leave Boston College for the New York Giants job, Dallas defensive co- ordinator Dave Wannstedt, who was courted even more ener- getically as a successor to the fired Ray Handley, turned up in Chicago to take Mike Ditka's old job instead. When asked to explain why he chose this town over that one, Wannstedt showed some nimble footwork for a guy who spends most of his time plot- ting how to stop it. "The Giants are a great foot- ball organization he said. "Ev- erybody knows that But a moment later, he said, "Chicago has always been a team I've really respected an awful lot. It was just a great opportunity for me And a few moments after that, with his wife at his side and two teen-age daughters somewhere in the back of his mind, Wannstedt added, "Per- sonally, with my family, we're excited about living in Chi- cago Hardly anyone in the sports world says that a bou t New York any more. Now, whether it's the resu It of genetics or environment, New Yorkers are a very suspi- cious people. And there was plenty in this latest rejection to be suspicious about. Under the guidance of Dal- las coach Jimmy Johnson, Wannstedt became the pick of the litter among NFL assistants after the Cowboys went 13-3 and notched playoff wins over Phila- delphia and San Francisco. And because of their close friendship, there was much speculation that Wannstedt would not risk alienating John- son by signing on with an NFC East team that would require student to go up against mentor twice each season. Though Wannstedt never al- luded to it, Johnson said as much Tuesday. At a news conference in Dal- las, Johnson said he and Wannstedt had discussed their diverging paths only the day be- fore and concluded that "our relationship probably would have deteriorated had he been in this division Beside the warm and fuzzy, however, there was one more relatedfactthatalmostcertainly figured into the equation. Wannstedt apparently plans to take several other mem- bers of the Dallas staff to his new job locale, and he knows he is. much more likely to get per- mission if the whole lot of them open shop in the NFC Central. So, assuming the money was equal in both places, what else came into play? Some people assumed that Wannstedt would choose New York, if only because he would accept much more readily fol- lowing a bust like Handley in- stead of a legend like Ditka. But they did not realize that Wannstedt does not scare easily and that he had a front-row seat to watch Johnson crawl out from Tom Landry's long shadow in Dallas in only four seasons.

Street's car flipped over and he was killed instantly, Iowa sports infor- mation director George Wine said. "Chris was a tenacious player. I always referred to him as the glue to the team.

Alpha Sig has been a strong growing chapter on the campus ofECU for many years. They give annually to the American Lung Association and enjoy a very active intramural, academic, and social life. If you are interested in rushing a fraternity go by and visit Alpha Sigma Phi. Ben Beta Theta Pi is one of the oldest fraternities in the nation; founded on August 8, 1839. From a small town in Ohio has stemmed one of the greatest fraternities ever. Here on this campus we strive to combine all aspects of fraternity life: social, academic, athletic as well as many other activities which show the day-to-day life of a very tight brotherhood. AX Delta Chi was founded at ECU to break away from the "norm" in fraternity life. We believe in strong Brotherhood, while maintaining each Brother's distinct personality. Delta Chi has outstanding friendship athleticism, leadership, scholarship, and most of all good times. We are looting for men that want to make the most of college life. If you would like to build a tradition rather than become part of one, Delta Chi is for you. We look forward to meeting you at rush, and remember, If you can find a better fraternity, join them! A5XI Delta Sigma Phi was chartered at East Carolina in April of 1971, and has continually given what it could to better the ECU Greek system. Delta Sigis based on three simple, butloyal principles: Leadership, Scholarship, and Brotherhood. Brotherhood is a phenomenon that can be felt and witnessed much better than it can be explained. It is a deep friendship with men who can always be depended upon to help when there is a need, and to be there to share the experience of self growth in the incredibly complex world of college life. KA The Kappa Alpha Order was chartered on September 26,1958 at East Carolina University. At KA there is a deep tradition in preserving the quality of Southern gendemen. Kappa Alpha's athletic program is known for its consistent rate of success. Our brotherhood would like to extend an invitation to all interested men to attend rush at our house. We are looking forward to meeting you during rush. KX Kappa Sigma was founded on the East Carolina Campus on November 20, 1966. Since then the fraternity has strived to represent the Greek system of ECU well. Located on Tenth Street directly across from campus, the fraternity offers a convenient spot for its member to gather between classes, as well as being in easy walking distance from the residence halls. The basis of the Kappa Sig fraternity is its brotherhood and through that brotherhood we will continue to grow and prosper long into the future. GO GREEK AXA Lambda Chi Alpha is a fraternity ofhoncst friendship. Wc have over 210 fraternity chapters nationally.
