On Jan. 13, she turned in her hous- ing contract and was assigned a room in Slay Hall with Marenda Taylor. "That's when I went and met Marenda Staton said. "I was going to be nice, you know, to let her know I was coming. "That night, the 13th, she called me and she said 'Well Stacey I didn't tell you this earlier but I've got a prob- lem I said what's your problem. She said 'Well, I'm allergic to the chemicals in black people's hair According to Staton who is black, Taylor requested that Staton find an- other room. Staton, who holds two jobs along with being a student, told Taylor she did not have the time to go through the process of finding another room and she must move in the next day. "Then she called me on the 14th, somewhere around four Staton said. "I was moving in about 4:30 because I had to be a work at five. I was on my way to get things prepared to move on over when she called me and said, T got a doctor's note and I went to housing and they said they can give you a vacant room "I said a vacant room sounds good, but I can't afford to go through all of this again. I really have to come on and move in today. She said 'Can you call housing?' I told Marenda I really didn't have time for all that so Stacy Staton we went back and forth a little bit Later, the coord inator of Slay Hall, Linda Sessoms, called Staton and told her they had a list of names of people that did not yet have a roommate which she could contact to find a room. Staton stressed that with her schedule, she did not have time for that, but needed a place to stay right away. Staton said Sessoms explained that Taylor had a doctor's note and had made the room pri- vate. Staton also said that it was her understand- ing that private requests could not be granted un- til Jan.22. Staton said she inquired how they could kick her out of her room and was told that technically she was not being kicked out because she did not have keys and was not registered. However, Staton said she did have her keys and was registered. Staton received a vacant room on Jan. 16 and Taylor was left in her room which was converted to a private room. "They (housing) did not offer me a private room Staton said. "They didn't call and apologize or anything. All they did was kick me out. And, they gave me a vacant room at my own request. I do not blame Marenda or Linda, the coordinator, 1 blame hous- ing. I believe they should have had adequate records to know that I was in that room already and that they should not have been able to just kick me out like that Emanuelle Amaro, assistant Vice Chancellor and Director of Housing, said that the department of resident education is in charge of handling situ- ations such as this. "They have counselors to deal with these issues Amaro said. "We have to consider, are we do- ing the best thing for her by putting her in a situation that she is going to be hated?" Amaro said. "It's really ter- rible. I hope, and I don't know that this is the case, but hopefully the white student received some counseling on this. "I belive a compromise was worked out. We charged the white stu- dent for a private room and gave the black student a vacant room The charge for the vacant room is the same as one with a roommate. "My gut feeling is that it was a racial issue, but the girl did have a doctor's note Sessoms said. Janet Johnson, coordinator of resi- dent education, could not be reached for comment. Taylor would not com- ment on the situation. Retired Spanish professor dies from cancer By Elizabeth Shimmel News Editor Retired Spanish professor, Jos6 Baro died Feb. 5 after a short struggle with liver cancer. Dr. Baro taught at ECU for 27 years before retiring in Au- gui r.1992. "He taught the whole range of classes offered in the depart- ment said French professor Dr. Martin Schwartz.

Jackson The "Jackson" was raised from the Chattahoochee River 30 years ago. Cur- rently, the ship's planks and ribs are being displayed at the Confederate Na- val Museum in Columbus, Ga. "The Museum is interested for a couple of reasons said Gordon Watts, professor for the maritime department. "The first reason is they're hoping to move the remains from its present lo- cation to a better museum complex. They're worried that, in the move, there's going to be some destruction of the surviving structure. "The other thing is they want to be able to reconstruct some portions of the vessel that are no longer there. This will make it more comprehensible to the pub- lic Recently, the department bought two Gateway 2000 38633 computers equipped with GETCO digitizing tab- lets. These computers are connected to a high speed Hewlett Packard Drum plot- ter. Software, called AutoCAD Version II, for the computers has been donated by Autodesk.

These measurements will be entered into the department's computers, which, when finished, will allow persons to see a three-dimen- sional image of the ship. To gather the in- formation needed, the students laid out squares across the remaining vessel with string. A grid composed of 16 squares was enacted, which the students mea- sured and drew to scale.

Its most formidable weap- onry was six rifled guns, each protected by four inches of armor plate backed by almost two feet of wood. After encountering problems of cost and propulsion, the "Jackson" finally launched in December of 1864.

Willard Martin, who taught a class scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m usually finished presenting his material by 8 p.m. and dismissed the students. A student filed a complaint to the Management and Marketing Department, The North Wind reported. "There are many times when the class time is longer than the material needs to be taught Martin told the campus newspaper. A petition to support Martin was signed by 90 percent of his class and given to the administration, but the firing was upheld. Officials wouldn't comment, the paper reported. College says delayed rush a success Delaying fraternity and sorority rush until the sophomore year literally saved the Greek system at Bucknell University, Pa. officials say. The Greek systemhas been on campus since the mid- 19th century, but came under fire in recent years. In 1989, the Bucknell faculty voted to rid the campus of Greeks, charging that the university academic mission "Was obstructed and thwarted by the Greek system Under the restructured system, fraternity men will live in the fraternity houses only their junior and senior years. Sophomores will live in residence halls or off campus. Sorority women will live in sorority suites in a residence hall their junior year, then will have the option to live off campus their senior year. Officials say the delayed rush has put juniors and seniors in charge of the fraternity houses, which has resulted in less abuse of house rules and cleaner houses.

"We have also concluded thai unscientific demonstrations should haveno place in hard news stories at NBC. That's our new policy In a statement, GM lawyer Harry Pearce said NBC had also agreed to pay for the costs of the automaker's investigation. GM had sued for unspecified damages Monday over a "Dateline NBC" reportaired in November that alleged mat older GM pickups with "sidesaddle" tanks mounted out- side the frame are prone to rupture and catch fire in a sideways crash. Lastweek, an Atlanta jury held GM negligent in the design of the gas tanks and ordered GM to pay $105.2 million to the parents of a teen-ager killed in a fiery crash. GM insists the design is safe. "Dateline NBC" correspon- dent Michelle Gillen's 15-minute report showed what NBC said was about a 40 mph crash in which there was no fire. Then, in what was re- ported as a crash of about 30 mph, the truck ignited in a fireball. GM alleged, and NBC admit- ted two days ago, that tiny toy-rocket motors placed underneath the sec- ond truck were triggered by remote control during the crash � some- thing NBC did not disclose to view- ers of the demonstration. NBC said earlier this week that the motors were put there to ensure there would be a fire if the gas tank ruptured. NBC said it didn't tell viewers because its experts con- cluded a broken headlight actually started the fire. Buton Tuesday night's broad- cast, Pauley said: "We agree with GM that we should have told our viewers about these devices. We acknowledge the placing of the in- cendiary devices under the truck was a bad idea from start to finish Phillips also said NBC did not dispute the automaker's claims that the truck that caught fire had an overfilled tank and the wrong type of gas cap, which popped off in the crash "Therefore, this unscientific demonstration was not representa- tive of an actual side-impact colli- sion Phillips said. GM's Pearce said the automaker would dismiss the law- suit today. "With this matter behind us, we trust that the safety record of our 1973-87 full-size pickup trucks will befairly and objectively examined he said.

Two months earlier, the stu dent found a cross burning on her front lawn and notes in her mail- box with the phrase "Machine rules 'The Machine" is a shad- owy, behind-the-scenes collec- tion of white fraternities and sororities that back certain indi- viduals for election into student government. Most students who run against Machine-backed can- didates have lost the election, with evidence being documented as far back as the '30s. Students are on both sides of the assault issue. School President Roger Sayers stopped short of blaming the Machine for the incidents and the Machine-backed candidate is quoted as feeling "really horrible the assault hap- pened Also, previous Machine-supported SGA officers have stated that they have no doubt the incidents are Machine-related. This example of university tyranny puts ECU's Student Government Association in a more realistic light. We can sit back and breathe a collective sigh of relief that at least we're not s bad as the University of Alabama. But that doesn't mean that the SGA is at the other end of the spectrum, either. What ECU has is a group of students, albeit small, who are dedicated to the benefit of the school for the students. Each week, these students do their best to fight the red tape that hampers their efforts to make this campus a better place for all of us. Not only must Cthey fight this ongoing bu- Y reaucracy, but also the apa- thy of some of the student I I j body that they represent. Apathy is what al- y i lows groups like the Ma- chine to grow and fester. Since the 1930s, this group has been allowed to influ- ence and sway elections through fear and intimidation. Students and administrators knew about the existence of this group; they just chose to do nothing about it. ECU's SGA may not be the best that a collegiate system has ever seen. It has its pit- falls just like any other student government. But at least it's open to student input and opinion. The average student does have a say in what goes on at this campus. The question remains though, do you care enough to take the time to have that say? If you don't, then maybe the Machine isn't such a bad idea after all. Then again, neither was Big Brother. By Gregory Dickens Hollywood reflects societal attitude to sex As one of the movie re- viewers for this fine publication, I've noticed a trend in the last 10 years that has swept through Hollywood like wildfire. In the chic thrillers and suspense pic- tures that have been released, one dominant plotline has been the easy-money racehorse that has beaten Stephen King and Tom Harris for chills and profit: sex can kill ya In the shadow of AIDS that the media has eagerly cast on America and consequently the world, Hollywood has picked up on and utilized the increas- ingly-real threat of fatal affairs. Cinematic sex has often been used as a danger for pro- tagonists. Adultery and rape are no longer only hinted at with innuendo or clever camera work as was the case in early movies. The big, bad atomic mutants were infamous for preying on the young and the nubile in the '50s. Rare was the sci-fi poster lacking a beast stalking half- dressed women. The '60s movies revolved around the emerging sexual revolution and the insecurity of youth, such as The Graduate or the various Tennessee Williams adaptations. The '70s gave us the slasher genre wherein Jason or Michael would kill some teen- agers that had sneaked off for a quickie. The incurable epidemic of the '80s brought to light the multi-faceted pitfalls incurred with random or illicit sex. It also boosted the appeal of old-fash- ioned love stories where boy meets girl; not boy meets girl, boy meets other girl, and boy meets the Barbie twins. The first movie to reintro- duce monogamy as a sound ideal was Fatal Attraction, in 1985. Michael Douglas found himself hounded by the woman he had an affair with. Glenn Close was determined to "not be ignored" because she was inconvenient to his marriage. In case you forgot, the talk shows (the medium that permeate ev- ery available audio visual fre- quency transmitted today) cut their teeth on the "fatal attrac- tion syndrome" for nearly two years. Attraction set the plotline so common today in which the femme fatale is elevated to an even-deadlier status of sex- killer. Not only will the suspi- cious lady that you love to hate, and hate to love, break your heart, but the temptation to bed her can literally get you killed. This wasn't a true novelty, but before it was the gangster she was with or the husband she wed who threatened the hero. Now, it's the woman. No longer helpless or vulnerable to the protagonist's whims, she wouldn't merely fall in love with the persuasive Don Juan. She could possibly kill him for his impudence. The massive success of Fa- tal Attraction made the sex-killer a potent profit-maker. Theresa Russell in Black Widow reawakened the character that kills her husband after marriage in order to collect insurance money (much like Madonna in Body of Evidence). Scandalous re- lived the true story of a sex scan- dal involving Parliament mem- bers abolished from their posts for hiring prostitutes (similar to the recent Damage with Jeremy Irons in which a successful poli- tician loses all for his affair with his son's fiance). However, the recent Basic Instinct directly confronted the wariness with which lovers should be armed. Granted, not everyone falls for a libidinous novelist accused of murdering for money. But the point is that many men, and women, (as the movie suggests) would want to roll in the hay with someone like Catherine and may not rec- ognize the obvious danger they place themselves in. A transpar- ent allegory of AIDS? You bet your sweet bippy. As is Bram Stoker's Dracula. The plot line involves Lucy slowly manifesting physiologi- cal transformations due to blood transference. Mina also risks exposing herself to the same fate for love. Obvious. It's refreshing to realize that Hollywood isawareof how society is worried by the threat of a disease most commonly transmitted through sex. Of course, a profit is made off of this concern and maybe that's not such a bad thing. If Holly- wood continues to make mov- ies in which characters deter- mine monogamy, responsibility and loyalty make for health and happiness, perhaps audiences will get the point also. A little consideration on such topics is time well-spent and possibly life-saving. The East Carolinian James R- Knisely, General Manager Blair Skinner, Managing Editor Arthur A.

FREEDOM'S CALL By Jim Shamlin Citizens only key to breaking oppression Throughouthistory,thegov- emment (along with the other nebulous and often unnamed en- tities that constitute the "estab- lishment") has borne the brunt of many attacks. Such a charge is a convenient escape from personal responsibility, nothing more. To say that the government is solely responsible for the oppression of its citizens is like a murderer claim- ing that it was the gun, not he, that is responsible for the murder of his victim. The government and a gun are analogous � both are ef- fective tools ei ther to protect one's own rights or to violate the rights of others. The resu 11 of their use or abuse is attributable not to the tool, but to the user. To clarify this analogy for smaller minds: The statement "a government derives its powers from the consent of those gov- erned" is not an empty theory, but inevitable truth. One of the dys- functions of a democratic system such as ours is the power it ex- tends to the majority to oppress the minority � in effect, democ- racy engenders a government that enforces mob rules. I f the majority happens to be of one race, govern- ment enforces their power to op- press other races. If the majority happens to be male, the govern- ment enforces their power to op- press a female minority. Thus, both racism and sexism demonstrate this inherent flaw in a "fair" sys- tem. It is not the intention of this columnist to suggest that we in- vert the balance entirely, giving the minority power to oppress the majority, as is the case in many totalitarian states and other militocracies. Oppression is op- pression, no matter who holds the gun. Democracy remains the only system in which everyone ha s pro- portionate representation. Itisone of the few systems that has the potential to promote fairness, but only if its power is exercised with the utmost discretion � discre- tion equal to, if not greater than, that which one uses when firing a gun. Any situation in which op- pression occurs requires each side to take an active role: the oppressor's "right" to oppress him, thereby assisting the oppres- sor by accepting the status of a victim. Since both must take an active role, it is within the power of either party to halt the oppres- sion. It is easier, by far, for the oppressor to cease, as it is he who is initiating the system of oppres- sion. To use the example of master and slave (the most obvious level of oppression) it is easier for a master to free his slave than for a slave to become free of his master. In terms of democracy, this means that those who support any law should consider its macrosocial impact. Too many voters are con- cerned only with their own ben- efit, not with the fairness of a given law,and somegroupsconsciously seek to oppress others for their own benefit. Through power-lust and ignorance, American voters have turned their government into an extortion racket that robs Peter to pay Paul � and as a result, it is strongly supported by aspiring Pauls. The oppressor, however, has little incentive todesist, especially in a society in which integrity has little value. The promise of some- thing for nothing has a strong ap- peal � too strong for many to resist. Distressingly few people, especially the mediocre, have the integrity to decline an opportu- nity to extort a living or to infringe upon the rights of others for their own benefit. Incentive is far greater on the part of the oppressed�but in order to cease the oppression, the victi m must rebel. Rebellious cases in which a slave breaks free from his master, can be difficult and bloody. Thedifficulty and thedan- ger, however, does not relieve the victim of responsibility. Nazi ex- ecutioners at the Nuremberg tri- als often plead innocence, claim- ing that they were just following orders � disobedience or rebel- lion would have put the execu- tioners in danger. They were by no means innocent. The same is true for a policeman who, while violating the rights of citizens, claims that he is just doing his job, and for anyone who obeys or acts to aid the enforcement of a law to which he morally objects. When any incidence of op- pression exists, it is never morally justifiable to blindly follow orders �it is imperative to question those orders, to defy them, and, in ex- treme cases, to rebel against the establishment from which those orders came. To refrain from do- ing so is to grant sanction to the oppressors; to acknowledge that whatever they happen to be doing is not only acceptable, but right. The drug "war" is an ex- ample of rebellion. While drugs, as a commodity, are harmful, their use is an inalienable right, a choice on the part of citizens over which thegovemmenthasno power. The producers, in this case, are the ones fighting to protect their right to supply the consumers' demand. Theinabilityof the government to stop the flow of drugs�or of any commodity it has declared illegal � demonstrates that the laws are not supported by citizens, hence enforcement of these la ws is an act of oppression. Thus, government has no power to establish laws over the objection of its citizens � wide- spread violation of arbitrary legis- lation serves to demonstrate its impotence. In such cases, govern- ment may only act punitively when it is able to apprehend a transgressor. Just as oppression is only possible by the acceptance of its victims, so is governmental power only effective with the sanc- tion of its citizens. Rebellion is possible in regard to any oppres- sive law � it is not only possible, but necessary. While it remains true that government is oppressive, wecan- not demand, or expect, govern- ment to initiate the changes that are necessary because it is not within the power of government to change itself. Responsibility lies in the hands of the citizens who have created and continue to spon- sor such oppression, whether by active support or passive accep- tance. Breaking the chains is the firststepin regaining our freedom �the second step, which requires far more self-control, is refusing to use the whip. �Dtx)TWiN. f. - The East Carolinian February 11, 1993 Lifestyle Page 7 Gere, Foster shine in 'Sommersby' 2 Jt logon By Dean Koontz Putnam, 1993 (AP)�In Dragon Tears, author Dean Koontz takes readers on a journey into the supernatural, where he suspends disbelief and makes the implausible sound plausible. Two Southern California detectives, Harry Lyon and Connie Gulliver, work well together, but nothing in the police manual prepares them for encounters with the "Ticktock Man He can stop time, rearrange reality and assume different horrible forms. A perfectionist, Lyon believes that by leading an orderly life he can control the chaos he faces on the streets. Gulliver is gung-ho, always ready for a dangerous assignment. As she explains it: "You gotta be in sync with the rhythms of destruction. Civilization iscomingdown around ourears You've gotta know when tobreakaruletosave the system�andhowtosurf on every random wave of madness that comes along The madness begins while the two officers are having lunch. A young man enters the restaurant, opens fire on the customers and then flees out a rear door, with Lyon and Gulliver in pursuit. The gunman is finally slain in a shootout during which he yells out titles of Elvis Presley songs. After leaving the scene, Lyon is confronted by a repulsive vagrant. "Ticktock, Ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours the hobo says. He disintegrates � not into a pile of bones, but into pebbles, dust, pieces of old rags and dry clods of earth. In another confrontation, at Lyon's home, he shoots the hobo four times, but he doesn't go down. "The vagrant raised his right hand, and green static electricity crackled between his fingers. Light shimmered in the air above his palm, and suddenly his hand was on fire. He snapped his wristand flung a fireball across the room. It hit the drapes and they exploded into flames The hoboagain warns Lyon thathe will diesoon, and then burns to cinders before the officer's eyes. As the investigation continues, Lyon and Gulliver learn that the hobo, with his frightening powers, also has set a deadline for killing three other people, all of them homeless. Who is this demon and how can he be stopped? Most of the questions raised by Lyon and Gulliver are answered by a patient in a private sanitarium. Koontz provides a violent finale for this fantasy. By Gregory Dickens Staff Writer Finally, after Hexed, Body of Evidence and other pointless wastes of film, we have a date movie! No more suffering through ridiculous dialogue and staleacting, my friend. We've got Richard Gere, we've got Jodie Foster, we've got a period-piece romance wrapped in an intrigu- ing screenplay called Sommersby. GereisJackSommersby,com- ing home to Vine Hill, Tenn two years after the Civil War to re- build his home, his farm and his marriage. His wife Laurel (Jodie Foster) is defensive about his ar- rival. After all, he was cold and cruel to her before he left, and she had planned to marry family friend Orrin Meecham (Bill Pull- man) and hey, Gere's character may not be Jack. This Jack is kind, he's warm to his friendsand slaves, he reads Homer, his clothes fit differently (he shrank two shoe sizes) but well, he's Richard Gere, so Laurel ain't just gonna throw himoutof the house. Is it really the same man who left seven years ago? And if not, who is he and is this part of a scam to rob the village out of what the Union soldiers left behind? The movie opens with Gere burying someone. Who was it? He claims to have amnesia after being captured by the Yanks but can someone know small details ofhispastand forget the name of his best friend? Was the real Jack sea rred as a passer-by claims, and if so, why isn't there a mark on this man? Could a man change so drastically? And if not, wouldn't his wife know the difference in bed between her husband and a stranger? Sommersby has a great set- A perfect Valentine's movie Pholo courtesy Warner Bros. jack Sommersby (Richard Gere) and his wife, Laurel (Jodie Foster), share a passionate moment after he returns from a mysterious seven-year absence, in Warner Bros, romantic drama, "Sommersby up also. Gere swears that he is Jack. However, a posse arrives in town to arrest Sommersby for murder. Does he admit to being Jack and hang or say he's a stranger and live but to lose ev- erything? Following this scene, the movie becomes a courtroom drama that has the misfortune of being released so soon after A Few Good Men. As good as the trial is and as well as everyone acts, it just can't measure up in tension and clean dialogue. The mystery of Gere's identity saves the film's second half, though. It is an airtight plot with nuances so subtle, the answer may prove de- batable to some viewers. Sommersby is blessed with tal- ent. Gere has never been better. He loses the cockiness that he use,d to carry American Gigolo, Breathless and even Pretty Woman. He is sincere and noble, trying to win back the wife who doubts his word while still loving his inten- tions. Jodie Foster is incapable of a bad performance and again sounds true with her faux South- ern accent. Their chemistry is not only believablebutendearing and fun, a bit more open than you might expect. In fact, all the ac- torsarehonestintheirmountain- life roles � James Earl Jones as the trial judge proves his ability with his limited amount of lines. Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and VI: The Un- discovered Country) adapts The Re- turn Of Martin Guerre, a French production, which was based on an actual case of just such an inci- dent in 15th-century France. The change of locale and use of perti- nent historical information (the Reconstruction, the early incar- nation of the Ku Klux Klan) gives Sommersby a solid foundation that lets the acting carry the mo- mentum and credibility. Sommersby will get to you. It's an affecting, lively tale com- bined with a sharp script and an ending that will floor you. Trust me, take a date and enjoy the show. It's that good. speaks at night By Marjorie McKinstry Staff Writer The midnight hour flips over to an- other day, and suddenly another sound emanates over WZMB's airwaves. Mu- sic ceases to be of primary importance, and the power of words, The Spoken Word, starts a two-hour rampage that trots through literature and any other form of words the eclectic collection of announcers have available. Ts saviours of The Spoken Word and dubious poetry go by the names Bucky Sinister, Courage J. Sanskrit, Olay (as in Oil of) Castlepunch, and Upton Wage deliver insomniacs from boredom and the unenlightened fromdepravity every Monday night from midnight until 2 a.m. Although the focus of the show is on language and the spoken word, the show is not a talk show. The deejays pick a topic for the week, and then spend hours searching through the library and through their personal music collections to create a suitable mental menu for the night's intellectual onslaught. Half an hour before the show, Sinis- ter, Sanskrit, Castlepunch and Wage compare lists of music, poetry, prose and recorded speeches. They plunge into bookbags, pulling out old literary textbooks, back issues of Exjircssions a nd the Rebel, and some of their own writ- ings, composed while indulging in frothy beverages. Two different copies for the list of the day surface; Sanskrits'version includes the word of the day-Yo mate- rial of the day - grunge flannel; hairy animal of the day-Chewbacca; orifice of the day - mouth; and occupation of the day-a tie between dentist and shepherd. A few minutes before airtime, the men grab their CDs and cassettes and start programming the shows' music and background aura. Unfortunately, the cassette system is in an ill mood and refuses to play. After a non-panicked rush to the mike, Wage invites the audi- ence to another evening examining the spoken word. This week's focus is on black English and the black vernacular. The record- ings of Malcom X are interspersed with the musings of Bob Marley and the po- etry of Gwendolyn Brooks and Amiri Baraka. Wage tests his fellow deejays with a hip hop vocabulary list. "Cour- age J. Sanskrit, esq could you use dope in a sentence?" Wage asks. Sanskrit stumbles on the slang definition of dope, but does manage to use the word cor- rectly in a sentence -dope, by the way, means fantastic. Next, Wage explains the differences between the east and west coast mean- ings of eighth,ill, one being a haircut, and the other to kill someone. Wage asks, "Bucky Sinister, can you use eightball correctly as a verb?" Sinister replies, "The drug deal went bad, so John eightballed Larry "That was dope Sanskrit adds.

Cupid with his arrows. A dozen red roses. A romantic dinner for two. Valentine's Day conjures up all of these images. This holiday for couplesand young loversdatesali the way back to the Middle Ages. Love notes, usually anonymous, were sent on Feb. 14 because birds began to mate on that day. So, naturally, the theory held that this constituted the perfect day for humans to express their affection, also. The name Valentine's Day originated with the Christian martyr, St. Valentine, known as the patron saint of lovers. On Feb. 14, St. Valentine was beheaded in Rome, and it became traditional to prepare a celebratory feast on that day in his honor. Today, we still celebrate Valentine's Day by sending love notes, or tokens of our affection, and eating. Goingouttodinnerisoneof the traditional American ways to celebrate the holiday. Several restaurants in Greenville will commemorate Valentine's by offering focxl and drink specials designed lor couples. I lere are a few: Annabelle's�Located in The Plaza, Annabelle's provides a romantic and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant will feature several specials for Valentine's Day. Tine roast chicken will be a bargain and two-for-the-price-of-one sirloins will also be served. The drink special is $1.14 daiquiris. Boli's 5th St. Pizzeria�Boli's, situated in downtown Greenville, will have $1 domestics for the Sunday holiday, as well as complementary desserts. If a special deal on a pizza sounds good to you and your date, head down to Boli's. Chico's Mexican Restaurant�Chico'scaterstoacouple's needs on Valentine's by featuring a Mexican sampler platter for two for $15.95. Strawberry margaritas will be served by the pitcher for $11.95, and sweet tart shooters will cost $2.50. Chico's is in downtown Greenville on Cotanche Street. Darryl's 1907 Restaurant and Bar�Two prime rib din- ners for $23.99 makes up the special at Darryl's. This also includes twogardensaladsand turtle sundaes Drink specials are $1.50 Screwdrivers and $1.50 Bloody Marys.

Communication and journalism majors, or anyone who thinks TV might be thei r next job, need this book�if not for the true story behind television journalism, at least for the appendices in the back that list the major television markets in the United States and Canada.

The book is unpretentiousand informativeat the same time; the readercan trust Filoreto because ofhisobvious knowledge and experience. He's been in the business a while, and he knows what it takes to be a success in television journalism. Filoreto refrains from preachingor giving his own opinions on how to succeed. As he says in his introduction, "the book is not based on our personal ideas of the best way to land a job.

The rare, four-volume double el- ephant folio of The Birds of America by John James Audubon will be on view at the North Carolina Museum of Art Feb- ruary 6-June 20. Twenty-seven hand-col- ored engravings from the publication wi 11 also be on view. The folios and the prints are part of the Museum's own collection. Because the prints are very susceptible to fading caused by exposure to light, they areonly shown occasionally. The Museum last exhibited a selection of the prints in 1988. This is the first time the folios will be on view in an exhibition in the Museum. Audubon, the noted American orni- thologist and artist, realized a lifelong goal in The Birds of America� to publish a book illustrating every species of bird found on the North American continent. The 435-plate, double-elephant folio took 11 years to complete, from 1827-1838, and represents years of strenuous field work by Audubon to document more than 1,000 birds. Audubon broke from the practice of recording wildlife from stuffed examples and established a new approach to his documentation. He observed the birds in the field, learning their mating and feed- ing habitsalongwiththeirdistinguishing characteristics. Rather than using the stiff profiles that had been customary, he cre- ated lifelike drawings of birds in their natural habitats often eating, feeding, or even figh ting Audubondid his firstsketch in watercolor, and then combined the watercolor with pencil, pastel, ink, oil, crayon, and egg white to produce the specialized texture and colors he desired for each bird. His remarkable sense of color and composition, coupled with has flair for the theatrical, helped him create a drawing that would best emphasize a particular bird's physical characteristics as will as its habits and habitat. Publishing 77ze Birds of America was a project of equal magnitude to the field work. Unable to convince an American publisher to accept the project, he con- tracted with Robert Havell in London to undertake the complicated copper-plate printing and hand- coloring process nec- essary to accomplish what Audubon had in mind. Audubon sold the publication to the public through a sub- scription system. A subscriber had the option of receiving The Birds of America five plates at a time periodically over the 11 year process or the entire series bound into four volumes at the project's conclu- sion. Fewer than 200 bound sets were pro- duced, and the existanceof just more than 100 is known today. At the time of publi- cation, the price in the United States for the complete bound set was $1,000. Ac- cording to the JulyAugust 1992 issue of Antique Monthly, a copy of Ausubon's The Birds of America recently sold for $4.07 million at Christie's, a record for any il- lustrated book. In 1846, the State of North Carolina purchased the double-elephant folio at the request of William A. Graham, who was the state's governor from 1845-49, and with the help of Joseph Green Cogswell, celebrated librarian and bibli- ographer who was headmaster of the Episcopal School for Boys in Raleigh from 1834-36. Graham write to Cogswell, who was then living in New York, about ac- quiring the folios. Cogswill found The Birds of America and purchased the work for the state for $650, a reduced amount probably due to the fact that two plates were missing. In the last 15years, the Museum has located replacement plates for the missing two to complete the folios. The volumes remained at the State Library until 1974, when they were trans- ferred to the Museum, and a small num- ber of plates were unbound, cleaned, and restored. The twenty-seven prints on view in the exhibition are part of that group. The four-volume double elephant (oversized) folios will also be on view in the exhibition, protected under glass be- causeof their fragile state. General use by the public while in the State Libraries Collection has caused deterioration of the Rather than using the stiff profiles that had been customary, he (Audubon) created lifelike drawings of birds in their natural habitats � often eating, feeding, or even fighting sets.

Baker, associate professor of paper conservation at the State Univer- sity College at Buffalo, will present a lec- tureentitled "Audubon's Birds of America: Conservation Treatment At 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 13, Joseph Covington, director of education at the Museum, will give a talk on Audubon's career and ornithological work.

Qi the leading edge of low tech design, these humble plastic and card- board box cameras mark a refreshing return to basics by Kodak and Fuji, the two international photo giants manu- facturing and marketing them in sev- eral variations. There are a number of models available, including panorama and underwater configurations, some fea- ture built-in flash. All the mcxiels come pre-loaded wi tli either 24 or 36 exposures of film, so there's no film to buy. If there isa flash, the batteries are in the camera already. No mandatory accessories, and best of all, no thick, highly technical instruction book. The normal retail price for all mcxiels is betweenlOand $15�but disposables are often heavily dis- counted. For the technophobe who wants to tike just a few gcxxi pictures in their chi Idren's lifetimes, these cameras are ideal.

But, this can sometimes be a definite grey area, especially when callers of- fer opinions about controversial subjects. Last week, one such caller told the deejays that he thought that the gays in the military should be on the front line to absorb bul- lets. Obviously, other people be- gan to call in, many with much more liberal views. One such caller, code-name Harold, a gay member of ROTC, gave his opin- ions regarding the gaymilitary controversy. Thesamemancalled back during the show this week to tell the deejays that his voice had been recognized on the air. Harold said "now many people in my program look at me differ- ently. They're talking behind my back For a few moments, all the deejays silenced their voiceswhile Harold talked. Everyone else in theofficequittalkingaswell. The power of The Spoken Word is amazing.

GIFTS downtown; 830-1122 The East Carolinian February 11. 1993 Sports Page 11 Overton's preparation pays off Coyer hoping to By Billy Weaver Staff Writer Last year the Pirate baseballteam finished with a 25-24 reoord. ECU is back and gunning for their 22nd consecutive winning season. Finishing 7-10 in the Colonial Athietic Association in 1992, the Pi- rates look to their returning starters and new comers, including seven junior college transfers, in hopes of regaining the CA A crown. PITCHERS: The Pirates return eight pitchers from their '92 roster. Head Coach Gary Overton will look to leaders such as left)- Johnny Beck and righthandersHoward Whitfield and Lyle Hartgrove. Beck, who struck out 91 batters last year with a 3.54 ERA will be heavily depended on d uring this season's tou gh sched- ule. CATCHERS: Junior college transfer Mike Peters is very likely to start for the Pirates behind the plate. Peters was brought in to provide defensivestability. Although offense was the main objective for most of ECU'snew recruits, the one concern of the Pirate defense is opposing base runners. "We had a very hard time last year with keeping teams from run- ning on us pretty much at will Overton said. FIRST BASE: Lee Kushner is a shoe-in at the right corner. In 1992 Kushner batted 353 with 13 home runs. The Pirates will depend on his playatfirstaswellashispoweratthe plate. He will also be looked upon to provide team leadership. SECOND BASE: Heath dark and Kevin Obholz are two assets to the Pirate middle infield. "Heath has been a two-year starter for us and do to mat experi- repair Pirate defense File Photo ECU's baseball team will start the season tommorow against Georgia Southern in Statesboro. Aft�r four road games to start the season, the Pirates will face the Tar Heels at Harrington Field on Feb. 19 at 3 p.m. en ce he leads with winning that posi- tion. Kevin Obholz is a very fine player and will geta greatamountof playing time Overton said. The Pirates will also look for Kevin 'sbatsomewh ere in thelineup. THIRD BASE:The Pirateshave a dandy in junior-college transfer Chris West West wasa fourth-round pick straight out of high school but elected to mature at Louisburg Jun- ior College. The Pirates expect big things from West and hope that his left handed power at the plate will come in handy. Overton also expects West to be able to take some of the burden from standout Lee Kushner in the batting order. West will most likely fill the No. 3 spot in the lineup. SHORTSTOP: Definitely a weak spot for the Pirates in '92. "We played musical chairs (last year). We used as many as four dif- ferent players Overton said. Seton Hall transfer Frank Fedak has won the position. Fedak is not a flashy player but Overton feels that he will be able to get the job done. OUTnELD:PatWatkins,trans- ferJamieBorel and Freshman Lamont Edwards look to anchor the defense for the Pirates in the outfield. Speed will be a factor in favor of the Pirate outfielders. 'Tat Watkins Overton said. "may be the best athlete on our dub Offensively, the Pirates look for Borel and Edwards in the stolen base category. Jason Head should also see playing time in the outfield. The Pirate coaching staff does its homework when scouting junior col- lege players. Overton said he hopes that by bringing in this new talent holes in the offensive lineup will be filled.Thisyear'sscheduleisone of the toughest Overton and thePirates have ever seen. ECU opens the season with a three game seriesatGeorgia Southern. The Pirates play their first home game against UNC-Chapel Hill on Feb. 19at Harrington Field. Sports Information Department GREEVILLE, N.C.�- Vet- eran coach Larry Coyer, 49, has been named assistant head coach defensive coordinator for the ECU football staff, athletics department officials announced Tuesday. Coyer comes to East Carolina from Ohio State University, where he served asdefen- sive backfield coach for two sea- sons. He will coach the inside line- backers at East Carolina.

"I feel Larry will do that. He has been successful at every level in football and I feel we will be able to utilize all of his skills and past experiences With Coyer joining the ECU staff, several staff members will change duties. Chris Thurmond will continue to handle the de- fensive backs while Bob Babich will switch from inside lineback- ers to the defensive line. Ruffin McNeill (defensive line) and Ch uck Tagano (outside linebackers) will continue to coach their current po- sitions. "1 would like to thank Chris for his job last year said Logan. "He took over the defense on short no- tice and did an admirable job The H untington, W .Va native carries an impressive resume that includesstintsinthe Big Eight Confer- ence, Pacific-10 Conference, Big 10 Conference, South- west Conference and professional football. Coyer came to Ohio State in 1990, following a year at the University of Houston, where he served as defensive coordinator.

He is one of the richest men in America, and one of the most criticized. He is blasted in the media for beating contenders deemed by the media as "out of shape or in some way unworthy of challenging for his title. He is belittled for beating Evander Holyfield for the championship, who was also thought of as unworthy of the title. In fact, in Bowe's victory over Holyfield, the former champion received more respect in defeat than Bowe did for winning the title. Even today the champion is torn apart for dodging Lennox Lewis, despite Bowe and his management's claim that it is for business reasons. Bowe is criticized for being some- thing less than ideal in serving as the primary representative of the sport of boxing. Considering the profile of the majority of athletes in this profession, this assumption may well be correct. Boxing's athletes, by a vast majority, are not players in television's media cir- cus. They are not able to inflate their image with big talk and dazzling staging. They often compete in dark, back-alley gyms, paying for local notoriety with sweat and blood. A precious few can become wealthy off their earnings, but most live as paupers, working other jobs to support their sadistic hobby. Boxing is both a sport and a way of life, and often its punishments far outweigh its awards. The boxer must incorporate tremen- dous skill and speed to succeed at his craft. He must have strength and endur- ance to inflict punishment on his oppo- nent, and take that which is inflicted on him. His training regimen is fierce, nearly as destructive as the fight he is training for. Most times his winnings don't equal to the expense of gym membership, only when he joins the upper ranks of profes- sional boxing can he support his addic- tion to fighting. Once the boxer finds a promoter, he can join these coveted ranks. This busi- ness official, a mixture of mobster and circus ringmaster, is a necessary evil for boxing success. Given the reputation of these promoters, it isn't too difficult to see who makes the real money in this profes- sion. Yet, the boxer trains on, waiting for his chance. And finally, if the promoter phenagles him into a big fight, he gets it. Now, the stakes are high, a failure can be suicide, and a success could still mean little. Often a knockout at these stages means the end of a career, yet a victory can mean everything. Eventually, after a multitude of fights, broken noses, and black eyes, the fighter finally gets a shot at the title. He meets the champion in the ring for the title, the glory and, if he wins, a whole host of pressures from be- ing an international celebrity. See BOWE page 14 Tennis team will rely on foriegn imports By Brent St. Pierre Staff Writer Spring must be in the air. It is that time of the year for men and women in white to hit the hard courts. Yes, it is tennis time, or should it be, tea time. This year's men's tennis team has a uniquely European flavor. Four of Coach Bill Moore's Pirates have made the exodus from the "Old Country Juniors Anders Ahl, Ben Atkinson, Camile Huisman and Markku Savusalo represent ECU's Euro- pean contingent. Cou pled wi th a strong sophomoreclass, this year's tennis team hopes to improve on last years 14-14 overall record and, more importantly, their 5-3 CAA conference record. Last year Moore expected a tough time with youth and inexperience. WTiat he got, however, was a Pirate team that finished third in the CAA for the third straight year. Last year the team had no upper classmen. Now the Pirate baby boomers have reached adolescence and a re read y to vie for the CAA crown. The men host six matches this season, including two CAA Conference matches against UNC-Wilmington and William and Mary. The CAA final will be April 16-18 in Richmond, Virginia. The Lady Pirate netters are coming off a disappointing season in which they were 5- 8 and seventh in the CAA. Though they are slightly moreexperienced then the men; this year can only be described asone of rebuild- ing. The Pirates return four upperclassmen �U.M M ��!� Foriegn aide will be the theme of the 1993 ECU tennis team. Dr. Bill Moore will lead the Pirates quartet of players from overseas. from last years team. They are led by lone Senior Jennifer Fenton. Moore has labeled Fen ton as one of the strongest players in the CAA and has a good chance to win the conference championship. For ECU to be successful, Fen ton cannot carry the load alone, last year's underclass- men must contribute. Kristine Anderson, Elke Garten, Karen Hester and Kristin Robinson must bepreparedtohelp Fenton if they have any hope of losing the "cellar- dwelJer" tag. Photo by Bin Ranson The team will host three home matches thisseasonagainstUNC-Greensboro, UNC- Charlotte and against arch-rival Peace Col- lege. ECU will travel to Harrisonburg, Va. April 16-17 to compete in the CAA Confer- ence Championships. Look for the Pirates to make the slow move to the upper echelon of the conference by season's end.

By Joe Horst Staff Writer Billiards, table tennis, chess and bowl- ing. Sounds like the most unlikely combi- nation of sports you could ever come across, right? Well, ECU will be sending individuals from all four of these sports to Knoxville, Tenn for the Association of College Unions (ACU-I), regional tour- nament. During the weekend of Feb. 25-28, these students will represent ECU in their various sports at the University of Ten- nessee. If they continue to win this re- gional tournament, thestudents will pro- ceed to the international tournaments, which will be held in separate locations and at separate times for the respective sports. All tournaments at ECU had been held during the last two-three weeks of January. More recently, on Feb. 4, Mendenhall hosted the finals for men's and women's billiards. The top three fi- nalists from the men's and the top two from the women's would be able to go on to Knoxville. When the cues were laid down and the chalk cleared, the winners emerged. Lewis Croom came out as the men's vic- tor and Kelly Lamm rose to the women's winner position. Cori Daniels fought her way to second place, racking an impres- sive4-l margin before falling short. Shawn Bartley and Devin Scully came in second and third, respectively, for the men's. Bartley placed second in the chess tournament as well. He must now choose between representing ECU in chess or bill iards; if he chooses chess, fourth place winner Rodney Strickland (who won last year's tournament) will take his place in the billiards competition. Ben Kerns took f i rst place in the chess tournament and Jaspar Tyson placed third. Both Tyson and Kerns won last year's tournament and will return this year to Knoxville for a rematch. For men's table tennis, Ramon Navarro and Chad Warrick will repre- sent ECU. Navarro won last year's tour- nament for ECU. No women signed up for table tennis. In men's singles bowling, Keith Webb and Greg Schehr will roll into Knoxville for ECU. In the co-rec tournament, Ray Chilcote, Winn Woodington, Chicora Martin and Lynnae Jewell will combine toattempt to bring victory down the lanes. All students that will be going down to Knoxville will have their expenses, food, transportation and lodging paid by the Student Union Production Commit- tee. Lynn Jobes, advisor to the Student Unions Production Committee, a ttributed the high number of students going to Knoxville to the greater participation by thestudents. "We have more representatives be- cause of a greater participation lobes said. "With this many people, we hope to improve our chances of winning 12 The East Carolinian FEBUARY 11, 1993 ODU earns vote for women's Top 25 The Top Twenty Five women's basketball teams as compiled by Mel Greenberg of the Philadelphia Inquirer based on the votes of 68 women's coaches, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Jan. 7, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote and last week's ranking: Record Pts Tenn.

Smith hasa habitof downplaying his own accomplishments, and that's exactly what he did Tuesday night "I say it every time. It just means I've coached a long time and I've had some very good teams he said. "We do too much about coach's records. I'm just excited to come out of Mary- land with a win NorthCarolina overcameanearly 11-point deficit to move a half-game ahead of Florida State atop the Atlan- tic Coast Conference standings.

Shortly after the Tar Heels fell behind 17-6, the coach switched to a 2-3 zone defense. Mary land scored only six points in the final 13 minutes of the first half and fell behind by seven at the break. "We played more zone than we had inyears'Smith said.

The reserves were selected by voted of the head coaches in each conference. The game will be played Feb. 21 at Salt Lake Citv. Continued from page 11 phis Showboats for one season (1985). After leaving Memphis State in 1986, Coyer became linebackers coach at UCLA, a position he re- tained until moving to Houston for the 1990 season. Last ason, the Buckeyes were ranked 13th in the nation pass effi- ciency defense and were led by All- Big Ten defensive back Roger Harper. Coyer hascoached in fourbowl games including the 1993 Florida Citrus Bowl, the 1992 Hall of Fame Bowl, the 1989 Cotton Bowl and the 1987 Aloha Bowl. He was an assis- tant at UCLA for the latter two games. His secondary at UCLA was considered one of the nations best. In 1988, All-America Darryl Henley led the Bruins to a 6th place ranking in pass defense while UCLA was ranked ninth in 1987. Coyer is a 1965 graduate of Marshall University, where he was a standout football player and wres- tler. He was an Academic All- America in 1964, an All-Mid- America Conference selection in 1963-64, and an honorable mention All-America in 1964. In 1987,hewas inducted into the school's Athletics Hall of Fame. After grad ua tion, he spent three seasons as Marshall's secondary coach, leaving in 1968 to become head coach at Martins Ferry High School in Ohio. Between 1970 and 1972, he was defensive coordinator at Massillon High School, leaving in 1973 to become secondary coach at Bowling Green. Coyer and his wife, Linda, have two sort Matthew and Justin. Aschampion, mostnotably as the heavyweight champion, an athlete must contend with celeb- rity status tha t dwarfs most enter- tainers. Not only must this person develop skills as an athlete, but must become a genuine personal- ity. Some past contenders have seemed bom to this role, whocould forget the star appeal of Muhammad Ali, or "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler or boxing's largest personality (and midsection) George Foreman. All seemed to handle the ca mera's eye better than they handled most opponents. Boxing fame, however, has brought on its casualties. Mike Tyson, after becoming famous, abused his star quality in such a manner that lead to his eventual imprisonment. Even more unfor- tunate are the rare deaths and in- juries that boxing brings. None will forget the death of Korean boxer Doo-Koo Kim at the hands of Ray "Boom-Boom" Mancini. There are countless com- petitors whoare "punch-drunk a term defining the irreversible brain damage some boxers have discovered intotheircareers.Stud- ies are being done on Muhammad Ali to see if the punishment he took in the ring aggravated his current condi- r'irnkinSon Only a few fighters "S get rich, unlike many nearly lost his skills tomeet their next challenge. Only a few fighters get rich, unlike many professional sports, so every competitor must truly love the sport and the way of life it provides. Eventually, when their skillsdeterio- rate, they will leave the game, but not itswayof life. Most continue this lifestyle by preparing sport ana the way of the next gen . , erationofath- life it provides. eies for the brutal sport they have given their life to. Others continue their public lives in the arenas of entertain- ment. Foreman has an upcoming pilot, "George" which has the tele- vision industry buzzing about a possible wee knight slot. He has appeared in countless commercials which havehimstuff- ing his face on the screen and his professional sports, so every competitor must truly love the eye to a box- ing-related de- tached retina. The dangers are many, and more often than not, the rewards are few. Boxers must keep in the best possible condition to be able to merely compete in the ring. Any sign of weakness will be exploited by an opponent. Unlike many sports, there aren't many avail- able shortcuts when its just you and another person trying to beat the s� out of each other. Boxers must constantly develop their wallet off of it. The current heavy- weight titleholder Riddick Bowe, with hisoutgoing personality and Ali impression, will undoubtedly have little trouble find ingemploy- ment after his boxing days are fin- ished. But is Bowe the person to rep- resent the true boxer? Is he the best at hiscraft, or merely a pale imita- tion of the Ali's and Marciano'sof yesterday? That is a question that only time will answer. Perhaps Bowe will reign long over the boxing throne, perhaps he will abdicate it on his next fight. The only thing that is assured is tha t when Bowe does leave the game, he will leave it a wealthy man. But in the midst of all these mill ions, somewhere in the collec- tive consciences of those lucky few thatmadeitbig,therewillbe whis- pering sounds from some sweaty, back-alley gym, and the knowl- edge that the athletes there, call- ing from their anonymity, have made itall possible.
