Group plans to fight proposed tuition hike
By Jason Williams
Staff Writer
The cost of an education at a North
Carolina university mav soon be sub-
stantially higher, but a group of ECU
students plan to fight mv proposed in-
crease in tuition.
Reacting to published reports in a
recent edition of TheRaleigh News St
()bserver which indicated tli.it state leg-
islators mav ? in increase in tu-
ition rates at i! ? bei UN sys-
tem, ECl junior BillIheen is organiz-

cause oi a ret ommendation by an inde-
pendent consulting firm Gheen said.
"Their report stated that in order to raise
revenue and bring North Carolina in
line with 11 sister states, then the legisla-
ture could raise tuition
As a result of this report, Gheen
metwith several politically active friends
as well as the head ot various campus
organizations to begin organizingCOST.
The group held its first meeting Monday
afternoon.
FirTit at that meeting were repre-
sentatives from the RHA, WZMB, the
College I emocrats and Courtney Jones,
president tit the St A.

other politically active group, the Col-
Republicans, to help us influent e
the legislature. This is a bipartisan i
and COST will he a bipartisan group
Steve Benzkofer, information cooi -
dinator lor COST, said, "If we can get the
people behind us, I think we can really
have an effect. We must have all the
students, though, and not just the
groups
i iheen said thatCOST will attempt
to revent a tuition hike bill from ever
coming to a vote in the General Assem-
ble
We'd like to target our activities
toward key committee members so that
they could kill it in committee he said.
'Since students don't have their own
lobby, we plan to arrange for our mem-
bers to visit their legislator to let them
express the student's point of view.
"We'll be asking our members and
anyone else concerned about this issue
to do a few simple things Gheen said.
"First, students can call their state l
lator or write them a hand-written letter
detailing how they feel about a tuition
hike. We plan to have a list of legislative
districts on hand in case anyone dotn't
know his or her legislator when they call
us.
Second, students can ask four rela-
tives to call or write their legislator also.
Ehud, students can write an editorial to
their hometown newspaper about the
issue
( Iheenalsi said that he hopes other
groups across the state join him in the
fight against a tuition increase.
' 1 have been in contact with orga-
nizations on other campuses, and plan to
send a letter to all the College Federation
organizations across the state
Chancellor Richard Eakin spoke
about the possibility of a tuition hike in
an address to the SGA on Monday.
" There is little doubt that the cur-
rent General Assembly will consider an
increase in tuition as a way to raise rev-

Fraternity to do community service
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members at the University
of Kentucky will have to perform 2,000 hours of commu-
nity service as part of their punishment for taking sports
memorabilia from two North Carolina universities, school
officials said. Kentucky officials confiscated several items
that Pi Kappa Alpha pledges took from Duke University
and the University of North Carolina during a retreat in
December. Among the items taken were the retired jerseys
of former Duke basketball players Christian Laettner, Danny
Ferry and Johnny Dawkins. Pictures and a lamp made out
of a North Carolina Tar Heel football helmet were among
the items taken from the Chapel Hill campus.
Professor asked to resign
A professor of Judaic studies at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte resigned after it was discov-
ered that he was secretly holding two full-time teaching
positions at two different universities while receiving sala-
ries in the amount of $146,400. Tzvee Zahavy, a nationally
known Talmud scholar, was hired by UNCC last year as a
result of a two-year national search to fill the Isaac Swift
Distinguished Professorship in Judaic Studies. UNCC was
unaware that at the same time, the professor was still
holding his previous position at the University of Minne-
sota. The University of Minnesota has also requested the
professor's resignation.
Family sues school for $8 million
The family of a Florida State University student who
died after diving into a trapeze safety net used by the
school's Flying High Circus has accused the school of
negligence and is seeking $8 million in damages. Stacey
Lynne Stokes, 20, of Fort Myers, died Oct. 31, 1992 at a
Tallahassee hospital. According to police reports, Stokes,
who was not a member of the circus, scaled two fences
posted with no trespassing signs and climbed a platform
before jumping into the net, which collapsed. The family is
asking for $5 million in damages for Stokes' parents and $3
million for a younger sister "for emotiona 1 distress and loss

(AP) ? Outer Banks restau-
rant owner Bubba Schauer thought
he was seeing wind-driven ocean
foam blowing around Avon, while
Kith Hawk police Officer Terry
Winstead thought it wasashes from
burning trash.
It wasneither. They saw snow
on Tuesday morning.
"I couldn't believe it said
Schauer, who owns Bubba's Too in
Avon. "It got thicker, and thicker,
and it was really blowing thick
snow for a while
Snow blew across the Outer
Banks through the morning, mostly
from Cape Hatteras northwar 1.
It started falling, off and on,
about 7a.m and wascominge'own
steadily by 8 a.m Angela Cozza,
owner of Water's Edge Landscap-
ing in Avon, told The News & Ob-
server of Raleigh.
"It's coming down sideways,
because it's blowing so hard she
said. "There's just a light covering
on the ground
Although there were reports
that the snow was sticking to grassy
areas and a few other spots, no
accumulations were reported, said
Doug Hoehler, an intern in meteo-
rology at theCape Hatteras weather
station.
Hoehler said there was only a
traceattheweatheroffice,although
he had reports of as much as a
quarter- to a half-inch on grassy
areas from Avon to Manteo.
The last time most Outer
Banks residents saw snow was
when a half-inch fell Jan. 19,1992,
or when a trace fell on March 16,
Hoehler said.
Captain followed instincts
in saving drifting tanker
CHARLESTON, S.C (AP) ?
Capt. Debbie Dempsey says she fol-
lowed her instincts when she was
lowered onto the deck of the drifting
freighter Lyra in 50-knot winds and
20-foot seas off the North Carolina
coast.
"The danger neverentered my
mind. All I thought of was every-
thing I had been trained for all my
life said Ms. Dempsey, a 16-year
veteran on the high seas.
The 634-foot unmanned vessel
broke loose from a tug boat Jan. 26
and began drifting toward Frying
Pan Shoals near Wilmington, N.C
An official of the New Orleans-
based Lykes Bros. Steamship Co
which owns the vessel, called Ms.
Dempsey at herhomein Virginia last
week after the ship broke loose.
A few hours later, Ms.
Dempsey and three other members
of the crew were flown by a Marine
rescuehelicopter to the ship and low-
ered onto the deck.
"I had been on this ship in bad
weather before so I was thinkingof
lowering the anchor she said in an
interview with The Post & Courier.
The crew tried to start the gen-
erators that would lower the anchors
and stop the ship.
"My main concern was to stop
a disaster from happening said
George Bradley, a crew engineer
Although the vessel was not
loaded as it was being towed to New
Orleans, it was carrying 397,000 gal-
lons of heavy fuel oil and there were
fears it could spill and contaminate
the North and South Carolina coasts.
The crew succeeded in lower-
ing the anchors la te Tuesday night of
last week. The vessel was anchored
in 108 feetof water 16miles northeast
of Frying Pan Shols.
It took three more days to pull
up the anchors and get the tow
hooked up so the ship could leave
the scene.
"1 never thought we couldn't
do it, but something like this doesn't
happen very often Ms. Dempsey
said. "It was a real team effort on
everybody's part, and we're all very
pleased we were so successful
Ms. Dempsey, 43, has been
master of the Lyra since 1989. She
sailed around the world, made six
trips to the Persian Gulf during Op-
eration Desert Shield and taken ships
safely through hurricanes.
She was the first woman to be
accepted to the Maine Maritime
Academy and the first woman to
graduate from any service academy
in the United States, The (Charles-
ton) Post & Courier reported Tues-
day.

Officials urge for loan improvements
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Sen-
ate Republicans decided Wednes-
day to force a symbolic vote on re-
taining the ban on homosexuals in
the military without the changes
PresidentClintonhasorderedtotake
effect over the next six months.
Even though some Democrats
were expected to join the effort, one
Republican acknowledged it would
likely fail given the Democrats' 5713
majoritv in the Senate.
The measure would ensure
preservation of the original ban for
the next six months, pending the
outcome of congressional hearings.
It also would prevent the president
from acting by executive order and
would give Congress a vote on any
changes.
Still uncertain was whether the
measure would bean amendment to
the family and medical leave bill or
free-standing legislation that would
face a certain presidential veto.
"Our position is we want an
up-or-down vote on the amend-
ment said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-
Texas.
Hepredicted thatabouta half-
dozen Democrats would back the
GOP measure. "I'm not that optimis-
tic that we'll get 51" votes, said Sen.
Don Nickles, R-Okla.
Earlier in the day, Sen. Sam
Nunn,D-Gachairman of the Armed
Services Committee, said both sides
should "hold off" for now because
Clinton already has retreated.
Nunn also said he will oppose
the GOP measure, despite his own
opposition to lifting the 50-year-old
ban.

President Clinton ? and 1 finally did

Test cargo plane crashes at Georgia base
TUITION
Continued from page 1
MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) ? A
test plane crashed and burned at
Dobbins Air Force Base in subur-
ban Atlanta on Wednesday. At least
two of the seven people aboard
were killed, a base spokeswoman
said.
The C-130 plane hit a Navy
medicalclinicat the base, butcaused
minimal damage and no one in the
clinic was injured, said Lt. Pat
Blassie.
The fate of the other five
people on board was not immedi-
ately known. The others aboard
"are being searched for Blassie
said.
The C-130 was owned by
Lockheed, which has a plant next
to the base.
Smyrna police reported the
plane crashed about 1:45 p.m. near
the entrance to the base off U.S. 41.
The crash site was north of a run-
way.
The C-130 is a military troop
and cargo transport plane, but this
plane was a special version used by
Lockheed for testing, said Susan
Miles, spokeswoman for Lockheed
JOYNER
Aeronautical Systems Co.
"This one had a lot of equip-
ment most C-130s don't have she
said.
Reporters were barred from
entering the base.
The plane appeared to be try-
ing to land, a witness said.
"You could see it coming in,
and then all of a sudden it just went
nosedown'said Bill Morgan, who
works at a nearby car dealership.
"It seemed like it was kind of
off line he told Cable News Net-
work.

project is a serious concern for
ECU and for the Commission
on Colleges of the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and
Schools Eakin said.
A new proposal is in the
works for the Legislature to con-
sider. This proposal would not
only include the UNC system,
but also the community colleges
and grades K-12.
Eakin said that he hopes this
new proposal will be put up for
early consideration by the Sen-
ate and House, so that voters
could vote on it and give the
project a definite starting date.
"I am more optimistic that
the bond referendum will be ap-
proved this year than last year
Eakin said.
"One of the strengths of
higher education in our state is
that tuition has been low in com-
parison to national figures. While
this is an enviable position, over
time, one should expect tuition to
increase in our state as in every
other Eakin said.
Several COST members
stressed the importance of a pro-
vision in the State Constitution
stating that education should be
"as close to free as practicable
Matt Stuart, a member of the
group, said, "This proposed tu-
ition hike will affect the middle
class, and may push poorer people
out of school Nevertheless, all
students will be affected.
Junior Laura Maready gave
her reason for joining COST. "I
have a brother that will be start-
ing college in four years, and my
parents are already struggling to
put me through school. Once the
legislature raises tuition once, I
think it will have a snowball ef-
fect, and they will raise it when-
ever they need money
For more information, or to
join COST, contact Steve
Benzkofer at 830-9239. "We're
meeting again next Tuesday at 4
p.m. in Mendenhall to elect the
leadership. 1 encourage everyone
who cares about this issue to come
out and help us Gheen said.

Opinion

Book buyback policy needs updating
At each side of a semester, the beginning
and the end, students dread the one event that
most, if not all, cannot escape from.
The buying and selling back of textbooks.
Long lines and half the money one paid
for each book await students at the end of the
semester. Even longer lines and stores having
"that last book needed" out of stock for three
weeks is what's in store at the beginning ?
bookends of misery and frustration.
Currently, prices for textbooks
are set in stone, no matter the
condition of the book. If 10
different people use the
same book, then it's sold
at the same price as a
book that has been
used by only per-
son. Used books are
sold at three-quarters
of the price if it was new,
and bought back at half price of the
new price.
Trying to buy books can be just as frus-
trating. Unbeknownst to most students, the
prime reason behind books being out of stock
and unavailable lay at the feet of their profes-
sors. The bookstores must wait until they get a
buyback list from each professor. The univer-
sity tries to get all the orders in three to four
months before the semester ends, but each new
semester begins with hundreds of orders inun-
dating the stores.
The stores must then order all the books,
THE BUCK STOPS HERE
forcing students to wait an additional three
weeks into the semester before they can buy
the required books. Communication between
the faculty and the bookstoresneeds to be im-
proved before any signs of life will be seen.
Make it part of a faculty member's job to
get that requisition form in on time. Currently,
faculty are subject to the periodic evaluations
all students fill out in the last third of each
semester. Tenure, salary, number of classes ?
all of these are affected by stu-
dent evaluations.
Add availability
of books for the course
on these evaluation forms.
Let the students know
what professors are not
getting their lists in on
time. If you threaten
someone's pocket or wal-
let, chances are that they
will respond a lot quicker
than if you just mouth inef-
fective words to them.
Change the pricing system
given to used books here on campus. If a book
is used 10 times as compared to one, than that
book should be cheaper than the newer one.
Declining prices are necessary for fairness to
the student.
Take a hard-line approach to a problem
that has been plaguing this campus for years.
Make instructors and professors accountable
for delaying the cost and time of our education.

Juvenile violence on rise, TV seen as cause
By Mike Joseph
'Cultural elite' at war with 'family values'
Hollywood is all smiles. Af-
ter 12 years of Republican moral-
izingand oppression, unrehearsed
glee has suddenly swept across
some of America's most famous
faces. These famous faces (the
Hollywood-New York crowd of
writers, artists, producers and
stars) constitute part of what ex-
vice president Dan Quayle called
"the cultural elite and he railed
against their scorn of "our
country's enduring, basic social
values
Quayle and the "cultural
elite" areon opposite sides of wha t
many scholars see asa culture war
in America - - in education, art,
religion, politics, etc. This could
be interpreted as a war between
traditional morality and indi-
vidual autonomy.
Mary Ann Glendon, a pro-
fessor at Harvard Law School, as-
serts that the big names in Holly-
wood "are geographically mobile
technocrats who get their pres-
tige, power and satisfaction from
work. They tend to mistrust the
judgement of ordinary people
According to University of
Maryland political scientist Will-
iam Galston, "Traditional moral-
ity hasnoprimafacie authority (for
them) because it has to be tested
against the principle of individual
autonomy He adds that "at the
core of their world view is per-
sonalautonomyand self creation
With their daily and nightly
TV visits into America's living
rooms, the "cultural elite" has vast
opportunities to present their
points of view and values to any-
one who will listen.
Are they being heard? Ken-
neth L. Woodward, writing for
Nezvsweek, stated that "many par-
ents are appalled by the any thing-
goes sexuality and violence that
constitutes popularentertainment
in this country, even though they
may watch it themselves Au-
thor Robert Coles said that "the
working class families I've visited
over the last 20 years are for what
Quayle (called) family values,
even if the reality of their own
homes doesn't always live up to
those values
This disparity between the
attitudes of Hollywood and ordi-
nary people was reflected in a 1991
studybytheCenterforMediaand
Public Affairs. For example, the
study found that while 85 percent
of ordinary people polled believed
adultery is wrong, only 49 percent
of Hollywood celebrities believe
itis wrong. Only 4percentof ordi-
nary people have no religious af-
filiation's percent of Hollywood
celebrities have no religiousaffili-
ation. Only 20 percent of Holly-
wood polled believed homosexual
acts are wrong; 76 percent of ord i-
nary people believe homosexual
acts are wrong. Ninety-seven per-
cent of Hollywood is pro-choice
on the abortion issue; 59 percent
of ordinary peopleare pro-choice.
Hollywood is not respon-
sible for thedecline in Dan Quayle-
type "family values but Holly-
wood is smilingtodaybecause the
new administration favors
changes in social policy which are
more accommodating of
Hollywood's values. Will another
study four years from now by the
Center for Media and Public Af-
fairs show that the gap between
ordinary peoples' attitudes and
Hollywood's attitudes has nar-
rowed? If it has, can a social em-
phasison "individual autonomy"
provide the cohesion necessary for
America to retain a positive na-
tional identity?
We will see; in the process,
perhaps we will learn whetherlife
imitates art, or art imitates life.
Nearly 30 years ago, An-
thony Burgess and William
Golding wrote short stories in
which children and teenagers are,
by fateorsociological breakdown,
given free rein. In both "A Clock-
work Orange" and "Lord of the
Flies they devolve from well-
bred, intelligent students into hi-
erarchic, violent creatures with
little or no remorse. Such works
were accepted at the time as dis-
turbing fiction. However, these
works, like those of Jules Verne,
have correctly prophesied present
developments.
In Ypsilanti, Mich two
boys, ages 12 and 14, were ac-
cused of first-degree murder of a
44-year-old cab driver. They al-
legedly robbed and then stabbed
the victim. One's first reaction may
be to laugh involuntarily at the
absurdity of thesituation. Increas-
ingly, though,similarincidentsare
being reported across the nation.
Time magazine reports as
many as 100,000 handguns are
being taken into high schools by
students on a daily basis. Some
urban schools have banned beep-
ers because they areconsidered to
be the accessory of choice by those
who sell drugs in school.
The recent publicity of the
Pamela Smart and Amy Fischer
trials garnered notoriety not only
because the two adults involved
had sex with minors, but also be-
cause those minors later attempted
to kill the spouses of their adult
lovers.
An Oct. 1991 issue of Rolling
Stone reported on the increasing
number of cases filed at the
Children's Institute International
in Los Angeles involving sexual
abuse on children committed by
other children. Cases include a
10-year-old boy accused of mo-
lesting his four-year-old sister.
Two six-year-old twins commit-
ted oral sex on their 18-month-old
brother after having been forced
to do the same to their uncle. An
eight-year-old enlisted his friends
to hold down a classmate while he
attempted to rape her. A six-year-
old sodomized his younger
brother.
FBI statistics report the ar-
rest rate for rape by males under
12 rose 244 percent from 1965 to
1989. It should be assumed that
not all instances were reported nor
were all the cases an indirect re-
sult of sexual abuse upon the at-
t lcker. No matter what the cause,
such violent and extreme behav-
ior is, to say the least, unnatural.
We live in a world that obvi-
ously is much more explicit in its
communication and imagery than
before. Advertising pushes the
limits of network sensitivities
more and more daily. The Top 40
radiostationsareallowing increas-
ingly blatant messages to be re-
peated four times an hour. More
immediate is the effect of tabloid
TV. Hard Copy, A Current Affair
and inside Edition all endeavor to
present, as quickly and with little
editing as possible, the nadir of
human trivia, tragedy and trash
daily in the most graphic repre-
sentation or dramatization pos-
sible on late afternoon program-
ming.
However, these are not the
cause, they are the symptoms.
They are presented and are highly
successful because there is a de-
mand for more than what has been
allowed by censors before. Weask
for it and we are given it. Com-
puter usersare aware of the phrase,
"garbage in, garbage out Suc-
cinctly put, this is what is wrong
with our society.
There are self- or federally
imposed criteria slapped on ev-
erything these days, such as pa-
rental advisories on CDs, ratings
for motion pictures and age re-
strictions on alcohol, handguns
and "adultmaterialThe purpose
of these restrictions was to keep
children away from what may in-
fluence them in damaging ways
or "scar" them.
Theassumption thatbehind-
the-newsstand pomographyalone
creates an attitude of cruelty in
young minds is obsolete. As is the
idea that pom is limited toa purely
sexual context. In reality, pornog-
raphy may be used as a catch-all
phrase for anything that demeans
others, incites violence, encour-
ages emotional detachment from
others' desires and leads to apa-
thy toward others' sensitivities.
The images we see and hear ev-
eryday simply aren't that distant
from that definition.
I don't believe graphicness
is wrong as long as it isn't ex-
ploited to sell beer or some other
unrelated purpose. We are adults
here at ECU (well, most of us at
least act like it) and there is no
need for sugar-coating the media
or trying toimplementcultu rally-
obsolete sensitivities to what of-
ten is unavoidable in the media.
We are capable of interpreting it
and accepting it as responsible
individuals.
However, children are
swamped in flitting images of ran-
dom sex and violence, often with
no explanation given to them. It is
this blind flood of commercial data
that creates stereotypes and often
confuses the young mind with
blanket assumptions, possibly
leading to a macho need to carry
firearmsorassauit people in vary-
ing ways.
Admit it, how many of us
would be comfortable with the
idea of discussing the implications
of Basic Instinct or Amy Fischer
with our parents at age 13? And
how many of us First learned of
sex from Mad or Playboy maga-
zines snuck into junior high?
The instances mentioned
may at first invoke ideas that we
should protect children in today's
society from themselves and their
lack of full comprehension.
On the con t ra ry, we, the new
adults and for whom the media
now targets with its images, must
protect them from us and our lack
of full consideration.

To the Editor:
As a faculty member of the
Student Union Foru m, 1 ha ve been
asked to write informing your
readers of the upcoming Noam
Chomsky lectures.
His agreeing to lecture at
ECU is of particular significance
when one knows that hisonly aca-
demic lectures this year are for
ECU and the University of Cali-
fornia at Berkeley. He will be giv-
ing an afternoon and evening lec-
ture on Feb. 9.
For those wishing to know
more about his afternoon lecture
on "Psycholinguistics I suggest
reading the Nov. 15,1969, issue of
TheNew Yorker in which Chomsky
elegantly debunked the
Skinnerian model for language
learning.
Regarding his evening lec-
ture entitled "Anarchy or Apa-
thy I highly recommend the May
28, 1992, issue of Rolling Stone
which features Chomsky's ideas
on American intervention from
Vietnam to Iraq.
I hope our university will
presentitself admirably for Noam
Chomsky, a professor at MIT who
is considered by many as one of
our country's leading thinkers.
Not since Buckminster Fuller has

guished scholar lecture here.

'Smoke' heralds ECU alumna's return visit

ECU'S 1992-93 Performing Arts Series
will host the return of that "old time religion"
Feb. 12 in Wright Auditorium, with the pro-
duction of graduateConnie Ray's "Smokeon
the Mountain
The story is a bluegrass-gospel musical
comedy centering on a church congregation
awaiting the arrival of the Sanctified Sanders
Family Singers. Set in the pickle capital of
North Carolina, Mount Pleasant, during the
end of the Great Depression, the play exposes
theaudiencetoafacet of thermal South when
organized religion was at its peak. Guitars,
harmonicas, washboardsand even an ou t-of-
tune piano help the actors celebrate in song,
witnessing and loads of laughter.
Originated by its director Alex Bailey,
Ray wrote "Smoke on the Mountain" in the
shortest time in which she has ever written.
"1 wrote like a banshee for three weeks
Ray said in a telephone inteniew. "Alex
called me up and asked me if I could write a
bluegrass musical comedy.
I'd never before written a musical with
a guaranteed production in i months. Usu-
ally, you go through rewrites, rehearsals and
more rewntes before it ever goes up. I ;e-
wrote j 'Smoke j in rehearsal, and then we

"Smoke on the Mountain" became an
off-Broadway hitwhen i t ran in New York for
14 months. Its 500 performances, starting in

also currently runs in major dries like Chi-
cago, San Frandsco, Atlanta and Ridimond,

Ray has ever written.

Swirlies, The Lyres
make weird noises
By Mark Brett
Staff Writer
It's not that Boston's Swirlies are
entirely unoriginal; neitherare that same
town's Lyres. They don't regurgitate 10-
year-old R.E.M. riffs or don MTV-dic-
tated hippie retro-fashion. At least they
have that going for them. No, the prob-
lem with both acts, and with their latest
releases, is that they're simply boring.
Bland. Unexdting. Almost stultifying in
their unflinching loyalty to their indi-
vidual styles.
Noise is the style chosen by Swirlies.
They feed their guitars through what
sounds like a few dozen distortion ped-
alsandmixingboards,shapingthe buzz-
ing tones that escape into workable
rhythms. On What To Do About Them,
Swirlies create the same kind of sound
walls that Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr.
havemadetheircareerson.Swirliesaren't
necessarily derivative, mind you; they
liketohangtheirnoiseonpophooksabit
more than their influences (although their
malefemale tag-team vocalistsdobring
Sonic Youth strongly to mind).
Swirlies also like to grind their music
down to a tumbling halt every once in a
while, slowing down to a low rumble,
then swinging back up into a higher
groove. This down-shift method creates
a choppy maelstrom of sound thatcan be
quite engaging.
So what's the problem? That's all
they do. Swirlies is a talented band, with
a couple of neat tricks up its collective
sleeve.But they pull off those same tricks
on every song. It would be nice to say
that at least one tune on What To Do
About Than stands out above the rest,
maybe one of those with the neat names
like 'Tall Ships" or "Her Life of Artistic
Freedom But they don't. They sound
just like all the rest, with a cool noise
guitartwistand lyrics justmuddy enough
to be incomprehensible. When a band's
tricks can't even remain interesting over
the course of a seven -song EP, they need
to learn a few more.
The Lyres don't even have tricks to
keep their headsabovewater. Billed asa
1960s Garage-StylePunkband (note that
the phrase "1960s" and "punk" go to-
gether about as well as "oil" and "wa-
ter"), the Lyres' Nobody But Lyr.s EP is
merely a tired retread of some flacdd
1960s pop-rock. Images of the Rascals
and several other mediocre and easily
forgotten acts of the '60s come to mind
when listening to the Lyres. It's sort of
like watchingrerunsof "American Band-
stand except even more ridiculous.
Granted, the Lyres do have energy,
and a nice hard edge that many of today's
alternative bands lack. One look at any
M1V "alternative" broadcast wilt snow
you that. Butthatdoesn'tchange the fact
that they're digging into a musical style
that had its day and died a timely death.
Even the presence of now-dead Punk
legend Stiv Bators (in his last recording)
can't save this one. In fact, Bators' in-
volvement makes it a bit sadder. Stiv
should have gone out on something bet-

Old School brings new sound
"Matinee' combines feai;
comedy for good fun
By Gregory Dickens
Staff Writer
Ifs October, 1962. Cuba is quarantined by the United States from
accepting offensive weapons from Soviet transport ships. The world is
virtually at the brink of World War III. Kennedy and Kruschev have
fingers on the buttons that could launch enough nudear weapons to
destroy everything on the planet Everyone is frozen in panic and aware
thatternsuchas"tomorrc'aixi "bier" are indangerof
As one man declares, "People are scared
Producer Lawrence Woolsey answers, "Exactly! And what better
time to open a new horror movie?"
Woolsey (John Goodman) is in Key West, R, to premiere "Man t a
low-budget monster movie about a half-man, half-ant created by radia-
tion.Afjisthestory'ofWc?lsey'sspiritedopeningamidthenenous-
ness of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stan Fen ton is Gene, a 12-year-old who
loves monster movies, determined to see "Mant" and learn what he can
from Woolsey. His friend Stan (Omri Katz) is trying to get a date from
Sherrie (Kellie Martin of ABC's "Life Goes On") while avoiding her
jealous boyfriend who seems to be stuck between The Fonz and Jack
Kerouac
Matinee's focus is on the pre-teens growing up and trying to pay
attention to the important things in life (movies, sex, Lenny Bruce's
profanity), but becoming more and more aware of the world and how it
may affect them now. What makes Matinee so lively and far from dull is
"Mant" and Woolsey's showmanship and hype. Goodman is great as
Woolsey, a huckster out for money but who obviously loves to entertain
a crowd in a theater, which he sees as a shrine of vicarious experiences.
'They know we can't hurt 'em, but they're still scared to death he tells
the thea ter's employees. His "Mant" is not only a movie bu t an exercise
in the gimmicks producers actually used to get the audiences involved.
"Atomovision" and "Rumblerama" and electric shocks in the theatre's
seatsare joined with other tricks that would ruin the fun to mention them
here. "Mant" itself is a campy film similar to "The Bride of the Monster"
shown during the Lousy Movie Lock-In in November. The dialogue is
hilarious: "He'snota monster. He'sa shoesalesman "Would you let tliat

We've got sugar for you
Matinee is a great tribute to the '50s movies that came on Saturday
mornings on independent television stations. It also is a sly study of fear
and how the people of Key West escape that fear by getting scared at a
theater. Director Joe Dante (Gremlins I&II and HBCXs 'Tales From the
Crypt") is perfectly capable of mi;ang fear and comedy. It's obvious he
reveres the 50s sd-fi monster flicks that, as one detractor describes them,
make people think atomic energy is harmless. That it's all right for
mutations to rip the dothes off young women It's sick, cheap thrills for
hop-headed teenagers Which is why all the kids are seeing it. One kid
laughs, "Ifs neat people are gonna throw up
Matinee is engrossing and has a distinct point of view wi thou t being
preachy or stiffly noble. If you sat through the Lousy Movie Lcxk-In ai id
not just for the T-shirt, you'll like Matinee for its wit and sense of fun.

Special to The East Carolinian
Old School is a pleasant mix
of ska, rap and hip-hop. The mix
they paint is lively, danceable
music somehow blended in a
mesh of loud, aggressive, alter-
native college music.
Old School will cure the faint
of heart. They are not like Dillon
Fence, Hootie and the Blowfish
or Mary on the Dash. (These
bands I consider to be unique to
our area.) They are new and, yes,
Ido put them over elaborate com-
pany. For a young band they are
the new Greenvilleflrwir?flnr. if
they can stay together.
Jeff Strother, Old School's tal-
ented drummer, brings rhythm
and beat, a meaning forgotten
since Jack Irons left The Red Hot
Chili Peppers. Dustin Shearon,
lead singer and lyricist, has a
unique voice that every good
band seeks. Like what Robert
Smithbrings to The Cure, Shearon
brings a distinctiveness only he
can muster to Old School.
Joey Balangia plays bass for
the band and Jeremv Smith plays
rhythm guitar. Together, with
Strother on drums, they form a
solid and groovy backbone from
which lead guitarist Jason Hodel
can launch gripping solos.
They sound a little like The
Chili Peppers but not too much.
Shearon sings fast, rapping on
some tunes, and Hoder grinds
funky tunes not heard since The
Ohio Players and Parlament
Funkadel ic played in the late sev-
enties.

for the sneak preview of National

had been advertised two weeks
in advance and passeshad disap-

doubt, students at ECU were
ready for the new movie from

goods.
The send-up of the Lethal

crack the enigma of the Wilder-

Someone has killed Luger's
former partner, (surprise, it's
Whoppi Goldberg) who was in-

someone is putting cocaine into
the cookies before they are

'Hexed' falls short
of anything good
Details, characters ultimately irrelevant
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
A constant debate occurs be-
tween critics of all media. (And
since all people have an opinion
and hence are critics, the discus-
sion enlarges to include all man-
kind.)
The debate, from a philo-
sophical stance, centers on the
definition of good.
Interestingly, the film stir-
ring this debate is one that this
critic detested, a new movie
called Hexed.
Hexed tells the story of Mat-
thew (Arye Gross), a hotel clerk,
whose only escape from the dull
reality of life is to impersonate
other people.
As the film opens, Matthew
eShters a plush party at the hotel
in which he works dressed in a
white tuxedo. He proceeds to
pawn himself off as a debonair
socialite.
Matthew'sworld gets turned
Ujside down when he connives
a date with the famous model
Hexina (Claudia Christian).
Hexina turns out to be "totally
bonkers
ft
- Matthew intercepts a call for
Hexina in which he learns that
ie is to meet with a stranger.
9ince Hexina does not know what
ft?e man looks like, Matthew pre-
tends to be him.
Only later in the evening, af-
ter Matthew and Hexina have
consummated their deceitful re-
lationship, does Matthew learn
that Hexina is trying to kill the
man whom Matthew is imper-
sonating.
A myriad of characters gets
introduced throughout the story
to unnecessarily complicate a
simplistic plot.
The funniest is a police de-
tective whose hard-boiled antics
poke fun at the entire crime genre
of the '30s and '40s. The detec-
tive, played by R. Lee Ermey, has
cornball lines in every scene.
In one sequence a pistol is
found in Matthew's house. The
detective turns to a police officer
beside him and says in a dead-
pan voice, "Uh-huh good work
that's a gun
This film is the first by Alan
Spencer, who also wrote and di-
rected it. This critic would like to
say that, despite its ineptitude,
the film shows promise but the
statement would be false.
Not one facet of this picture
is admirable.
Hexed is the type of film that
defies criticism. How can thisbla-
tantly awful film even warrant
serious thought?
Yet the serious question
posed by this film still seeks
"What is good?"
Several members of the au-
dience watching Hexed laughed

Harlequin romances provoke
the same type of discussion.
Many people read and enjoy
these books. Are they, therefore,
"good?"
The debate about what con-
stitutes art, i.e. what is "good"
will never end.
The best that can be achieved
is resolution in one's own mind.
Hexed is definitely not good.
That statement voices an opin-
ion, not a definitive assessment.
I disliked Hexed.
The fact that others enjoyed
the film is ultimately irrelevant. I
classify Hexed as trash.

Colt and two robbers destroy

Colt's home is the trailer from
Lethal Weapon but when he enters
the door, it's a mansion inside.

Colt is obsessed with the loss

blown up when a valet cranks it

The humor may not be on

works throughout the movie

The best surprise in Weapon is
the casting and the many cameo
appearances.
Everyone apparently not

Tim Curry impersonates
Gruber from Die Hard. William
Shatner's role brings to mind

Moll ("Night Court"), Charlie

a host of others that would ruin

Lyons' heart remains Pirates' treasure
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
Lester Lyons has a tremendous
talenttoplaythegameofbasketball.
Heisthe"go-toguy"onastruggling
East Carolina basketball team. He
leads all Pirate scorers and has al-
ready etched himself firmly in the
Pirate recordbooks.
But Lyons, arguably,could play
on most any basketball team in the
natioaHehasalreadygainedarepu-
tationforbeingthePirates'top threat,
and the focus of opposing defenses.
Heis known throughouttheCAA as
perhaps the best player the league
has to offer.
So why would a tremendous
talent like Lyons choose East Caro-
lina, not exactly a legend in college
basketball? Wouldn't it have been
more beneficial forLyonstoenter an
already established program rather
thanenteringoneinbuildingstages?
The Pirate star said he chose
ECU as Lester Lyons the person, not
solelyasLyonsthebasketball player.
"This (area) is my home and my
roots. I've played in this area for a
long time Lyons said. "It's really
great to have my family around, if s
not too often that they miss a game.
That's the kind of feeling I want to
have, the closeness and everything

conference in scoring. Upon his 1990

ber of young players in the Pirate
program has caused the Pirates to
have difficulty in establishing chem-
istry. This lack of chemistry may bea
pivotal reason why the Pirates are 6-
12 for the season. Lyons said the
frustration he and the rest of the team
are feeling is understandable.
"You have to be a little frus-
trated, because you're trying so hard
to do things good and you're not
gettingany reward forit Iknow if we
keep working hard and doing the

Lyons said he would like to si-

to attend ECU and is happy with his
decision.

Pirates nearly
upset Tide, 59-54
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
The East Carolina Pirate
basketball team fell once again
Monday night, this time to
the Crimson Tideof Alabama.
The Pirates were defeated 59-
54 despite the 14-point scor-
ing production of freshman
guard Kareem Richardson
and the strong inside play of
center Dee Copeland.
The Pirates, as in their
other losses of the season,
started thegamestrongbuild-
ing a five-point lead at half-
time, but could not produce a
second-half performance to
win theclose game. TheCrim-
son Tide matched the Pirate
score at 12:00 remaining and
after fighting for the next five
minutes took the lead for good.
Lester Lyons continued his
current scoring slump, as he
collected only nine points com-
ing off the bench.
The Pirates could not con-
tain the scoring of the Tide in-
side players as forward Caffey
and center Moore combined for
30 points and 14 rebounds,
while the Tide guards struck
for 17 from the perimeter. The

ing from the loss of Anton Gill
to an elbow injury. Gill is listed
as hopeful for Saturday's
matchup with James Madison.
East Carolina must quickly

for a winning record.

Swimming and
diving teams vie
for CAA titles
By Brent St. Pierre
Staff Writer
It has been over three years since East
Carolina has won the Colonial Athletic
Association swimming and diving cham-
pionships. In that time, the Pirates have
not finished better than third. This year
our swimmers and divers hope to reverse
the trend and capture the CAA title.
The road to any championship is pot-
holed with adversity and the Pirates hit
two, finishing the season 0-2 for the men
and 1-1 for tlie women.
Even though the men and women
have posted the greatest winning record
ever under the tenure of 1 lead Coach Rick
Kobe, a CAA championship banner ap-
pears more difficult to capture than origi-
nally hoped.
Saturday, the Pirates hosted UNC-
Wilmington. This was intended to be a
revenge meet for the Pirates. Revenge,
though, only came for the women. The
women were victorious 145-92. Thewomen
were led by theCAA's top lady swimmer,
senior co-captain Tia Pardue.
"This victory is the sweetest swim-
ming victon- that I've been a part of in the
four years that I have been a swimmer at
ECU. Last year Wilmington humiliated
us. After the meet they danced and sang
and destroyed our spirit. In all my years of
swimming I've never been more upset
after a swim meet. All year we've been
waiting to get them back Pardue said.
Die men, however, s'j fi'ered a late sea-
son blow. After starting the season 10-0
and posting the longest winning streak in
ECU history the men were set back 136-
107. This is the second consecutive loss for
the Pirates this season. The other loss came
at the hands of a powerful North Carolina
squad in Chapel Hill.This lateseason fizzle
though should not have that much of an

adverse effect on the men come conference
championship time.
"Thelossat Chapel Hill wasexpected,
the Tar Heels have one of the top swim-
ming programs in the country. Even
though we lost, ou r swi mmers swa m some
of their best times all year, which is very-
encouraging with CAA's coming up in
two weeks Kobe said.
The lossagainst Wilmington had tobe
somewhat of a surprise though. When the
sea son sta rted, Kobe bel ie ved tha t the wi n -
ner of the CAA Championships would
have to win a horse race between three
schools; James Madison, American and
EastCarolina with Wilmington coming in
fourth. It now appears mat Wilmington
has just as viable a chance of winning the
CAA's as the other three.
With all this doom and gloom it ap-
pears that ECU will not finish better than
third or even fourth in this year's Confer-
ence showdown, right? Perhaps not. Un-
like a Dual meet the Conference meet fea-
tures the talents of every team. This wa-
ters down the scoring.
For example: if Pardue places third
the50-yard freestyleasexpected and the
best finish for a UNC-W swimmer is
14th, ECU will get seven points while
UNC-W receives no points. This is pre-
cisely why ECU has a great chance in
winning the CAA crown. ECU's best
swimmers are better most of the schools
in the CAA.
There is one more reason to believe
in the Pirates' chances: divers. The div-
ing events could be the key, meets are
often won and lost on the board.
In 1987, the Pirates actually defeated
UNC in the swimming portion of their
meet; but lost the meet because their
divers defeated our divers.
Victory on the boards is as impor-
tant as any victory for the swimmers.
ECU Diving Coach John Rose's top divers
are Matt Lawerence and Tara Roland. If
they can place high enough in the diving
portion of the meet, it could well be the
catalyst the Pirate's need to capture the
CAA crown.
The Pirates have two weeks to pre
pare for what could be the finest mo-
ment in ECU swimming history.
The CAA Championships begin Fri -
day, Feb. 17 in Wilmington.

SuperBowlfollow-up
Bills tempt fate and feel the pain
LYONS
Continued from page 11
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) ?
Fate plays favorites. It kisses some
teams like long-lost relatives and
slapsothers like rent-a-mules. The
Buffalo Bills don't just tempt fate
to beat them, they insist on it.
"There's something about
this team wide receiver Andre
Reed said, "that's a mystery
Maybe so. But there's no mys-
tery about this: Three strikes are
enough. It's time to move the Bills
out of harm's way.
Perhaps to the NFC, where
they'll never get this far again. Or
to the CFL, where they can muck
up some other nation's' 'ultimate"
game. Or even to IBM, where they
won't be heard from for a long,
long time.
Frankly, it doesn't matter
where ? just so long as it's O-U-
T of the Super Bowl.
They will not, cannot be al-
lowed back. No way. Not for the
rest of thedecadeatleast.lt would
be too soon, too cruel, too cold,
too painful. If not for their sake,
then for the rest of us.
We are just now forget-
ting the Denver Broncos and Min-
nesota Vikings, inglorious losers
of four Super Bowl each. Neither,
however, managed to lose three
in a row. And sad to say, by ex-
panding margins.
The first time, against
New York, the Bills came up only
one point short. Last year, against
Washington, it was 13 points and
not as close as the score suggested.
This time, it was 35 points and
only the clock showed them any
mercy.
"The word 'destiny' kind
of floated around and I thought
this team was destined to win
this game Bills wide receiver
Don Beebe said. "Then the way
we lost was very disheartening
Not exactly. "Dishearten-
ing" was what happened to the
Bills in the first of their three con-
secutive Super Bowl visits. And
maybe "demoraliz-
ing" fits the second.
But nothing short of
"demolished" fits
whathappened toBuf-
falo on this particular
Sunday.
Maybe it didn't
have to be this way.
Maybe, when the Bills
were poised 1-yard from the goal
line and trailed the Dallas Cow-
boys by only 14-7 a minute into
the second quarter, they do the
smart thing and everything that
happensafterward,happensdif-
ferently.
Maybe Buffalo quarterback
Jim Kelly eats the ball instead of
running for his life to the right
and trying to throw back to his
left through a crowd of white-
shirted defenders. Then maybe
we don't have to sit through a 52-
17 laugher.
When Buffalo running back
Thurman Thomas was asked
whether he was surprised by the
call from coach Marv Levy that
led to Kelly's throwing the mo-
mentum-shifting interception, he
replied candidly.
"Actually Thomas said, "I
was. A lot of players were. But
youcan'tquestion the call. Marv
sent it in because he thought it
would work. It didn't
But it wasn't just one bad
decision. It was an epidemic.
We should be fair about this.
The Cowboys are an exceptional
team, very possibly a dynasty in
the making. Brutal on defense,
willing to grind out yards the
toughest way imaginable, they
are worthy of the mantle of NFC
champion.
And of the tradition that has
seen them and their conference
brethren win the last nine Super
Bowls and 10 of the past 12.
They are swift, strong and
hungry, qualities that the Bills
almost certainly share. There's
"There's something
about this team that's
a mystery'
Andre Reed,
wide receiver
no way a team gets to three Super
Bowls without them.
But these Cowboys, for their
lack of experience, are already
one thing that the Bills may never
be: Smart.

billing with his motherashisbiggest
inspiration, bo tin onand off the court.
"Magic is great, even though
he's come up with the AIDS virus
he's still working. He's not going to
quit, just likewe'rehere in thisslump
and we're not going to quit. I'm hot

Lyons said that two women in
his life have helped him mold into
the person he is, his mother and his
grandmother.
Lyons said his grandmother is
responsibleforhisspiritual upbring-
ing and is grateful that she and his
mother have instilled the discipline
to resist many of the temptations that
college life presents.
"If you've got the right back-
ground its not hard to resist thealco-

? ? ?
The disease of AIDS has reached epidemic proportions; researchers and experts state that within this generation every person in the country will know at least one person who has All )S The implications of this prediction
are staggering; AIDS is not just something a person can disregard. This disease has brought the issue of safer sex to the forefront of our society, forcing people to think about subjects that otherwise they would drop as
uncomfortable.
T)e purpose ofthis four-part safer sex campaign is simply put ? to save lives. The East Carolinian is not in any way promoting sex; what we are promoting is trcrystuJeiits knowledge of their choice behveen abstinence
and safer sex. Only through information, knowledge and common sense can a person make this choice, one of the most important decisions heshe will make in hisher life.
Tle first of these ads promotes the responsibility of consenting adults to make a choice in their relationship. A couple can choose to have sex with a condom, have sex without a condom or abstain from sex entirely. If
a couple choose to have sex, the AIDS epidemic has made it a necessity to use a condom. Tlie ways and methods a person can have safer sex are numerous, yet need to be addressed each in their own right. The first question
that needs to be answered, however, is not how to use or choose a condom, but are you ready for the actual physical act and the emotional ties it entails.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
AIDS has become what some have termed the "Black
Plague" of the 1980s and 1990s. The amount of deaths
of AIDS victims or people dying of AIDS related complexes
(ARCs) steadily grows with each passing month. No
longer can this disease be regulated to one particular
group of individuals; cases have been reported from
every demographic segment of the population.
AIDS does not discriminate. The disease can happen
anywhere, any time, to anyone. Race and gender have
no impact on the disease, the only prevention to AIDS
is common sense and knowledge. Through health centers
and services, a person can receive the true facts behind
this disease ? not rumors and speculation.
T Fact: Latex condoms are not 100 percent effective
against the AIDS virus. They only lessen the risk of HIV
transmission.
T Fact: The HIV antibody has been documented
through several routes: contact with semen, vaginal
fluids and blood; anal or vaginal intercourse; transfer
from mother to child, including breast milk; and oral-
genital sex.
T Fact: When tested, a negative result does not mean
that the person does not have HIV antibodies. It means
that, at the time of testing, the person was not infected or
the antibodies were too low to be detected. Antibodies
may take from three months to as much as one year to
develop.
? Fact: After being diagnosed as HIV positive (which
means that HIV antibodies are present), a person may or
may not get AIDS. No test is currently available to
determine who will achieve full-blown AIDS status after
being diagnosed as HIV positive.
The issue of AIDS has brought up the much more
general issue of safer sex. If a person decides to have sex
with hisher partner, heshe assumesthe responsibilities
and risks that go along with this choice. By learning the
facts, a person can be comfortable knowing that heshe
has made an informed and educated decision.
ARE YOU READY FOR SEX?
Condoms, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases
? three topics whose risks have received a great deal
of attention by the media lately. What has been
ignored,
however, is
possibly the
most important
question to be
posed when
talking about
sex ? are you
ready for sexual
intercourse?
No black and
white answers
exist for this
question; en-
gaging in sex is
a personal and
individual
choice between
consenting
adults. People
base this choice
on a complex
and often con-
fusing mix of
knowledge, atti-
tudes, values,
beliefs and be-
havior. But, of-
ten, this decision is made without preparing oneself
emotionally for the relationship that is ready for
sex.
Though no one set of questions can totally cover
the range of questions and issues when trying to
determine if a relati ,nship is ready for sex, some
have been developed by experts.
1. Do you have feelings of guilt?
2. Are you uncomfortable with the current level of
involvement?
3. Are you confident you will not be humiliated or that
your reputation will not be hurt?
4. Is your partner pressuring you?
5. Can you and your partner discuss the potential for
STD's?
6. Can you and your partner agree on a method of
contraception?
7. Can you and your partner share responsibility and
cost of contraception?
8. Can you and your partner agree on what you would
do if pregnancy occurred?
9. Are you having sex to revitalize and improve a
relationship?
10. Are you trying to prove your love?
increase your self worth?
prove you are mature?
If you answered "yes" to either questions 1, 2, 4, 9 or 10 ?
partners should consider postponing intercourse.
If you answered "no" to either questions 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 ?
partners should consider postponing intercourse.
Note: The above questions are meant solely as guidelines. The purpose of this questionnaire Is to serve as a
reference lor making a decision regarding sei. Choosing to abstain or to have Intercourse arc personal decisions that
deserve more thought than answering a few questions. Again, this Is not a tool bv which a decision should be based.
ARE YOU READY TO CHOOSE?
A person must have all the facts at their disposal
before heshe can make an : nportant decision such as
sharing an intimate act like sexual intercourse. Without
being informed and
knowledgeable, a person runs
the great risk of being placed
in a situation that heshe
cannot handle.
Being comfortable is the
rule here. Through open and
honest communication with
a partner, discussing even
those topics that might be
embarrassing to talk about, a
couple can reduce the
unknown factor when it
comes to sex. Knowledge is
the key to freeing our society
from being doomed to repeat
its past mistakes.
Take whatever time is
necessary to make a decision
that feels comfortable.
Understand the risks that are
being taken if one does decide
to have sex. AIDS is not a
lightly dismissed issue ? it's
lethal. Use the means
available in order to fully
protect oneself from any
contraction of AIDS or other
STDs.
Knowledge.
TEducation.
These are the three keys with which to have a safe and
happy lifestyle. Without one, the other two are useless.
The potential tor risk ? and death ? is just too great not
to take the time.
