The East Carolinian bl 68 No. 13 Circulation 12,000 Thursday, February 25, 1993 14 Pages ECU wiretapping: another suit is filed By Karen Hassell Assistant News Editor In the continuation of the wiretap- ping saga at ECU, former Public Safety Program John Burrus has requested a third-party suit against Vice Chancellor Richard Brown, former Director of Pub- lic Safety Maurice James DePuy and East Carolina University. On Feb. 19, Burrus' lawyer filed a request for a hearing on a third-party suit. Burrus is currently involved in a civil action suit against plaintiff Patricia Hair Bullock. Bullock contends that the defendants Burrus and Teddy Roberson Jr former director of telecommunications, performed interception and recording that are illegal under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Acts of 1968. "Third-party plaintiff Burrus re- quested that ECU represent him in said civil action and ECU refused said a said issued by Myron T. Hill Jr. and W. Gregory Duke, attorneys for Burrus. Bullock recently filed a civil suit against DePuy that claims Bullock's telephone line was tapped under the orders of DePuy. ECU is representing DePuy in the case with special deputy to the Attorney General Tom Zeiko as the defense attorney. "I can't understand why East Carolina would represent DePuv and not represent Johnny or Teddy Hill said. According to the lawsuit, a tele- phone tapping device was placed on Bullock's phone by Roberson in July of 1990. Roberson was acting upon the specific direction of agents of ECU. Burrus and Roberson were acquit- ted in Oct. 1992. On July 22,1992, Burrus requested representation from ECU for the Federal Court trial held in Oc- tober and ECU denied representation. After the Oct. 1992 acquittal, Burrus again requested repre- sentation from ECU for the civil action suit filed by Bullock. "The jury's ver- dict in October acquit- ting Mr. Burrus was tantamount to a finding that Mr. Burrus was indeed authorized by the university to engage in the wiretapping said Hill in a letter to University Attorney Ben Irons. ECU again denied representation to Burrus. In the third-party suit, Burrus is suing for damages in four areas. He is seeking indemnification or reimbursement in the case that Bul- lock proves him li- able in the pend- ing civil suit. The second claim is for inten- tional infliction of emotional dis- tress. Burrus was required to resign or be terminated by Brown which caused severe emotional distress to Burrus. I can't under- stand why East Carolina would represent DePuy and not represent Johnny or Teddy Myron T. Hill, Jr, Attorney "Burrus' professional reputation and standing in the community were damaged and the difficulties associated there with caused the Burrus to seek marital counseling and individual psy- chotherapy according to Hill's report. The third claim for relief is based on negligent infliction of emotional dis- tress. In this, Burrus charges that ECU should have trained him properly in fed- eral and state wiretapping laws. Burrus also said that ECU should have properly investigate the situation prior to forcing him to resign. Burrus is also suing for wrongful discharge under the defense that he was acting under orders by agents of ECU. For each of the four claims, Burrus is asking for damages in excess of $10,000. Sunny thoughts Program to capture essence of black history Photo composed by Dall Raad Many ECU students are looking forward to lots of sun and fun as they stop to think about Spring Break that is only seven days away. By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer ECU students and faculty will be taking part in a program tonight designed to celebrate Black His- tory Month. The program written by Reginald Watson, an English departmentlecturer, will try to not only capture the history of blacks, but also forecast what their future can and hopefully will be. "The purpose of this program is to pay homage to the importance of blackhistory Watsonsaid. "The program will be very informative and entertaining as it traces the major periods of black history Will Bridges, saxophonist for the local band Cold Sweat, will be playing blues music to inform the audience of the importance of jazz music during the Harlem Renais- sance and the early 20th century. "A greatensembleof student talent will be used to help portray key black figures who best repre- sent their time periods Watson said. Other key black figures that will be discussed during the seven- scene play are Mansa Musa, an African ruler between 1200 A.D. and 1500 A.D and Thurgood Marshall, the Supreme Court Jus- tice who helped overturn segrega- tion in the school system. Both parts will be played be Chris Haywood. "Mansa Musa sets a great example for the black race because of his role as a king Haywood said. "In this particular play, he talks about the hardships his peop le endured. I am hoping ECU stu- dents will gain a knowledge of black history as well as their own history. This type of history we are covering chronicles many centu- ries Gary Koonce and Wanda Hall will sing spirituals that repre- sent the pain and suffering of the slaves. Hall will also read her own poetry at the end of the program. "We will have some music as a backdrop to help capture the es- sence of the time periods Watson said. "Therewill be poetry reading to show that black history and black creativity are ongoing processes Clayton Driver, ECU student and football player, will portray Frederick Douglass, who successfully es- caped slavery. Benjamin Banneker, who helped build the White House, will be portrayed by Michael McPherson,anECU graduate stu- dent. Takesha Wilson will play Zora Neale Hurston, who wrote Their Eyes Were Watching God. Natasha Floyd, student, will play a slave woman who talks about the misfortune of slavery. Other students who will par- tici paring in the poetry reading are Teresa Sanford and Sean Herring. Staff member Vivian Bazemorewill also be reading poetry by black writers. The program will be held at 8 p.m. tonight in room 244 in Mendenhall. It should last about an hour and a half. Watson said, "This is only a brief synopsis of what blacks have done for not only this country, but the world. "The people involved in mis program will try their best to cap- ture the essence of the many char- acters presented Construction management students offered new scholarship By Jenny Hamby Staff Writer The Triangle Chapter of the Profes- sional Construction Estimators Associa- tion (PCEA) of America has granted ECU's School of Industry and Technology a $16,800endowment.Theendowmentwill provide annual scholarships to students majoring in construction management. "Over the past several years, the PCEA has awarded $1,000 scholarships to deserving construction management studentsatECU Dr. Douglas Kruger, of the Department of Construction Manage- ment, said. Kruger said that "previous faculty members over the past few years as well as current members' involvement in the Triangle Chapter" helped ECU receive the endowment from PCEA. Since the department has received the endowment, a permanent scholarship fund will be set up to give to a construc- tion management student each year. The necessary qualifications for the scholarship are to be a rising junior or senior in the construction management department. Furthermore, the students must meet academic requirements, dem- onstrate leadership capabilities and show a financial need. Kruger said that PCEA is "designed to provide an organization for profes- sional estimators so that they can get to- gether and discuss areas in the construc- tion management fields The endowment is designed to "ac- commodate for future costs. The amount of the scholarship will increase as tuition and fees rise Kruger said. The scholarship is awarded by the PCEA each April in Raleigh. The student that receives the award will be able to use it beginning in the fall semester. Crawford Jobe, an industrial tech- nology and construction management major, said "the scholarship will attract more students to look at industry and technology and construction management as a potential major Arts council honors local students By Joe Horst Staff Writer The Pitt County Arts Council is currently holding its second annual vi- sual arts competition, and has awarded over half of the prizes to ECU faculty and students. Judged by Jerald Melberg of the Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, and Tom Lopez from the North Carolina Museum of Art, the entries will be shown from Feb. 20-25. The gallery will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mel berg commented that the show was comparable to other regional com- petitions. "It was certainly typical of that type of exhibition, in that there was a great variety of work Melberg said. "It's what I would expect to find from that type of regional exhibition Doug Knots won best in show and first place in the two-dimensional cat- egory, with encausticoil paintings titled "The Queen Escapes" and "The King is Dead respectively. First and third place in the sculp- ture category went to Jerry Jackson. "Cycle of Life, Saved at Childhood" won first place in the competition, and "You Can Call Me Bettie Now" placed third. In the three-dimensional func- tional category, first place went to ECU student Djean Jan Runner. His "Parlor Game" was constructed out of wood, aluminum and Plexiglass. ECU faculty Linda Darty and Terry Smith placed second with "He Flew Away in the Morning Darty and Smith composed this artwork out of copper, enamel and walnut. In the video category, Susan Luddeke placed fi rst with her 10-minute entry. The Pitt County Arts Council has held this competition for the past two years.

StateNews Hunt administration replaces zoo director (AP)�Bob Fry, who was hired byGov. Jim Hunt nearly 15yearsago to head the N .C Zoo, has been forced to resign by the new Hunt adminis- tration. Bob Fry was replaced tempo- rarily by a former zoo curator who is apolitical backer of Hunt. Fry, 60, said he was summoned Thursday to Ra- leigh and told to clean out his desk by the next day. Named as interim director was Dwight Holland, who was chairman of Hunt's campaign in Randolph County last year and gave $1,200 to Hunt's campaign. Holland, who worked as the zoo'sdesign curator from 1982 to 1990, was one of the early supporters of the park. Jonathan Howes, secretary of the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, which oversees the zoo, said there would be anationwide search foraprofessional zoo manager to replace Fry perma- nently. Howes declined to discuss in detail why Fry was forced out, say- ing it was a personnel decision that he could not talk about. "He was actually hired in the last Hunt administration Howes said. "What I can tell you is, we had good, sound personnel reasons for doing it. It had nothing to do with politics. It had everything todo with the zoo needing new leadership go- ing into this critical juncture Rachel Perry, the governor's press secretary, said there were prob- lems with Fry's personal conduct. "I want to point out there have been serious allegations about Mr. Fry's personal conduct and his man- agement of employees and the zoo operation Perry told The News & Observer and The Charlotte Ob- server. She declined to elaborate. Fry denied angrily that any personalaUegauonshadbeenlodged against him. "I do not know what she is talking about Fry said of Perry. "No such allegations have been pre- sented to me. I would expect in an appropriate forum that it be done. Either make the accusations to me or don't make them. "At the time I was replaced, I was given no reason other than the zoo needed to go in new direction � and to do that, they wanted new lead- ership Fry said. Like Hunt, Fry is a Democrat. The zoo director is a political appoin- tee. Fry, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, was hired to run the zoo in September 1978 during Hunt's first term as governor. In his nearly 15 years in charge, Fry was credited with expanding and improving the zoo. "The N.C Zoological Park is now recognized as a leader in natu- ral habitat displays, instead of the bars and cages of conventional zoos said the release announcing Fry's retirement Fry said he has since learned thatsomemembersoffheN.C. Zoo- logical Society, a private fund-rais- ing group, were unhappy with his performance as director.

(AP)�Two men were arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the early morning shooting death of a veteran Virginia state trooper along Interstate 95 in Prince William County. State Police superintendent Carl Baker identified the two as Lonnie Weeks Jr 21, of Fayetteville, N.C and Louis Jefferson Dukes Jr 22, a resident of the District of Columbia. They were arrested after sev- eral hours of questioning in the death of Jose Cavazos, thefirststate trooper killed in the line of duty in four years. Weeks and Dukes were charged with capital murder. Pros- ecutors said they will seek the death penalty. They are scheduled to be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert said. Both men charged with capital murder Cavazos was found lying near his cruiser on the 1-95 ramp to the Potomac Mills Mall, police said. Cavazos, 50 and a veteran of the Persian Gulf War, was discov- ered by a motorist and a state trans- portation worker, who radioed for help, police said. Cavazos was declared dead on arrival at the Washington Hos- pital Center. Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said Cavazos had been shotjustabovehisbulletproofvest. Four 9mm shell casings were found at the scene, she said. Baker said Cavazos had seen a car speeding south on 1-95 and had pulled it over on the ramp. A scuffle followed, Baker said, dur- ing which the trooper was shot several times. Cavazos d id not pull his gun. Cavazos had not radioed that he was making a traffic stop and Baker would not say how that sce- nario was arrived at. He did say that several wit- nesses had come forward. About 20 minutes earlier, Cavazos had spoken by radio with the transportation worker, who had asked him to investigate people camping along northbound 1-95. The campers were not thought to be connected with the shooting. Dogs from the Prince Wil 1 iam County Police Department tracked a scent to a nearby Days Inn motel, where Weeksand Dukes were taken into custody about an hour after Cavazos was discovered. Police also seized a stolen Volkswagen Jetta with North Caro- lina plates parked at a nearby Mobil service station. At one point, two detectives opened the car's door. One looked inside and was overheard saying, "There it is. Bingo State Police 1st Sgt. Norman Pirkey said officers found a gun sticking out from under the front seat. Ms. Caldwell said Cavazos, who lived inNokesville,had served in the G ulf War as an Army reserv- ist. She said he was a staff sergeant in military intelligence. He is survived by his wife, Linda, and two children � a 16- year-old son and a 20-year-old daughter who is a student at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Pirkey described Cavazos as "hard working" and said he "went that extra step in making drug ar- rests The last Virginia trooper killed in the line of duty was Jerry L. Hines, who was shot on Feb. 20, 1989, after stopping a vehicle on Interstate 81 near Lexington, said Claire Capel, a spokeswoman for the state police in Richmond.

The teacher walks into the classroom, carrying 50- 65 exams in his hand along with his briefcase. The room is packed wall to wall with students, mostly because the room was originally designed to hold only 35 people. As the teacher passes out the exam, he warns the stu- dents that they should look at their own paper and be sure to do their own work. After distributing the ex- ams, he stands at the podium in the front of the room and opens the paper for his afternoon perusal. Eyes move furtively to the side and bodies are positioned for the maximum amount of vision. The cheating has begun. As much as this university espouses its honor code, the reality of the situation is that you couldn't throw a balled-up piece of paper in a crowded class- room without hitting a person who's cheated at least once in his or her lifetime. If somebody decides that they're going to cheat on a test or copy somebody else's paper, then they're going to find a way to do it. Cur- rently, there is no effective deterrent to keep students from cheating. The above scenario only encourages the situation, Riding the Mobius By Jason Tremblay Racial rift bridged by looking towards future too. Even the most honest and students are going to be when confronted with an obviously feels that he things to do than Only when the realized and rec- trustworthy of tempted to cheat instructor who or she has better proctor an exam. problem is fully ognized will any in- roads be under- taken. AiKa The student jflfSs? body goes under the : unspoken understand- ing that if you're careful enough, you can get away with cheating on an exam. Some precautions are cur- rently being undertaken to hinder the chances of cheating, such as stu- dents being asked to leave their bags at the front of the classroom or take off any ball caps they may have on. Are these pre- cautions working, though? Only when students and instructors alike seriously consider this event a prob- lem will anyone be able to see any long-term effects. It's hard to deter from cheating without sounding like one is giving a sermon. Everyone's heard teachers and professors expound on the issue, saying things like "It's not your own work or "You don't really learn anything when you cheat This age-old diatribe and rhetoric only serves to bore students and stagnate the problem at its current low level. To climb the ladder of integrity, the first rung must be the students. Only they can look at their own hon- esty and place a value on it. If integrity is important to a person, then they won't compromise it. But if a person sees cheating as an easier way to get the same results, chances are that he or she will continue to go on copy- ing papers and exams. Again, there is no current, effective deterrent that this university offers to stop cheating. A more hard- lined approach, with stiffer penalties for first-time of- fenders, may be in order in the future. Unless someone can come up with more liberal alternatives, there doesn't seem to be much choice in the matter. The East Carolinian James R.

While 1 personally do not agree with the media's han- dling of the event, I still think a few things need to be said, all at- tention-getting showmanship aside. Before 1 begin, the reader should perhaps know a few things about me personally; I'm about 6'1 medium build, blonde hair, blue eyes, and in case those last two didn't tip you off, European- American. An exemplary "white devil if you will. Now, my physical appear- ance is, quite frankly, something I'm rather proud of. I'm pleased with who I am, and I'm not ashamed toadmit it by any means. This is certainly not to say that 1 consider myself superior on any level on the basis of my appear- ance, it only means that I very much enjoy looking into the mir- ror and seeing a blonde English major with artistic tendencies who enjoys living. Now, as most artists can tell you, we enjoy simple pleasures as well as those complicated ones that so many people are con- demned to. Oneof thesepleasures, for me, is just walking by myself on warm days and watching things. As luck would have it, about three weeks ago, the bizarre weather twists North Carolina is famous for brought us a day so beautiful that I had to make an artistic pilgrimage to nowhere in particular. The destination of my travels unimportant, I hitched a ride with my girlfriend to her place of employment and began the four mile walk back to my dorm. On my trip, 1 saw many beau- tiful things and delighted in each one of them, though most people (myself included, when I'm in a funk) regard them as trivial and pay them no notice during the courses of their oh-so-busy lives. 1 was in harmony with nature it seemed, doing all those hippie- type things you can see in any '70s acid movie or a Freedom Rock commercial. Simply put, I was minding my own business while minding everything, and enjoy- ing it. About halfway through my journey, I passed through a lower- income neighborhood densely populated with African Ameri- cans. As I walked, I gazed about me and took in the small, dilapi- dated homes with an air of quiet sobriety. I realized that I was in a "bad "section of town, but it didn't look bad to me. I saw the many houses in need of a good coat of paint, the garbage on the side of the road, the smashed beer bottles on the corner, but I saw much more than that. I saw two African-American children playing in their front yard with a rubber ball while their grandmother sat on the porch wi th a glass of lemonade and watched. I saw a man hold the door for a woman carrying her groceries up the stairs, even though he had to wait for her to get there. 1 saw dozensof people going about their lives in a happy, dignified fash- ion, even though they lived in the "bad" part of town. I saw all these things and was filled with respect, and even a little jealousy. These were honest people livinghonest lives, unclut- tered by the excesses of the afflu- ent. They seemed like good people, and I was satisfied that they were happy with their lives. I continued on my wav and eventually had to cross an inter- section. Coming from the oppo- site direction were three African- Americans, one male, about my age, though of lesser size, and two fema les, one about 16 and the other about 10. As we passed each other in the intersection, the male glared at me the whole time, and the el- der female spoke to him. "Don't even say anything she hissed at him, and then we had passed. When what I suppose seemed a safe distance to them, the elder girl turned and yelled after me, "Get back to your own neighborhood,crackerand then all three ran off. I stood there for a moment, not quite believing what had just happened. I had done them no harm, and in fact, respected the people in their neighborhood, and they had done a decidedly racial thing to me without provocation. My mood ruined, I trudged back to my dorm room, noticing that a Black History Month dis- play had been vandalized. I shook my head in disgust, wondering at the senselessness of it all. My point, which I have seemingly buried in all of this, is that everyone needs to work to- gether; cliche, but true. I am not a "cracker" � if I were, I would likelybesaturatedwithsoup.No one is a "nigger" � it is a term degrading and foul by any stan- dards. The racial rift in America will never be closed if we, both African and European Americans alike, don't stop dwelling on a sad history that can never be changed. The time of ignorance is past. The time for change is now. Now stop reading, think about it, go get a pizza and watch some cartoons. 100, recycled paper QuoteoftheDay: Adam was the only man who, when he said a good thing, knew that nobody had said it before him. Mark Twain' Letters to the Editor Basketball fans considered 'fair weather untrue To the Editor: Are there any "true" ECU fans left? As I sit here and deliberate on what I should say to the so called ECU fans only three words come to mind: You people suck! ECU has the worst case of "fair weather fans" ever re- corded. For those of you who don't know what a "fair weather fan" is, it is fans who on ly cheer or show u p to games when we are winning. Even N. C.State, who isgetting beat badly almost every game, packs the house every home game. It pains me to say that N. C. State fans are better than ECU fans. I will pause in the midst of all this to say I was im- pressed with the turnout of fanstotheJMUand Richmond games. But when you do show up for the game, you leave with as much as three minutes or more left on the dock. Our team iscapableof makingdra- matic comebacks, which was obvious at UNCW. I can only imagine what our football and basketball players are think- ing as they look up into the stands with time left on the clock only to see a thimble full of fans left. To that thimble full of fans that do stay, I say "you're great Everyone should fol- low yourexample. I do under- stand that people have tests and night classes, but out of 15,000 students, it seems like you could fill up the coliseum. It's not like you have to pay or something. They are about to make Minges bigger, and you people don 'teven fill itupnow. SAD! When UNCW comes to town on Feb. 27 they will bring two times as many fans as we've been having at our home games. It's pretty embarrass- ing for the other team to come to our place and pack in more fans than we do, especially when we have over twice the amount of students. It doesn't make sense and I sincerely hope the ECU fans see it as their responsibility to do some- thing about it. So to all you "fair weather" ECU fans, come out of your holes and support the Pirates! I challenge you not only to come to the remaining home game, but to remain standing (like UNCW did to us) and to cheer whether we are winning or losing to the last second. Show that you are a real ECU fan and not some- body who just attends class at ECU. Pack the place early to greet our team as they come on to the court. Who knows, our fan support might even give our team that extra shot of energy it takes to pull out these tight games.

By Gregory Dickens America should confront problems on homef ront The United States is once again close to interceding in a foreign affair that has little impact on our country's well-being. Bosnia-Herzegovina, the tatters of one- time Yugoslavia, is in the midst of Europe's answer to the Middle East's ethnic and reli- giousantagonism.TheCroatsand Muslims in the area are at each other's throats for survival and ethnic purity against Serbian domination for political,geographicand militaryresources. Once again, the United Nations looks to America for financial or military support. The United States, however, is undergo- ing a change of leadership and priorities in order to energize its weakened economy ver- sus foreign competition and restructure its health, education and welfare programs. America has long been seen as the world's constable since the administration of Teddy Roosevelt. Except for a period of stem isolationism in the '20s, America has sent our men and our money "over there" for 90years. Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Latin America, Grenada, Lebanon, Tana ma and The Persian Gulf have all been the scenes of operations undertaken because of lofty idealism or self- interests and with our military leading the way. Many of these conflicts have either been the cause of social confrontations or have later been proven to be unsuccessful, overdrawn and unpopular. Granted, America cannot pretend to ex- ist in a vacuum when the United Nations comes knocking at thedoor, butourparticipa- tion in any affairs must be thought out first, with the first criteria being "Do we ha vea right to interfere?" Bosnia-Herzegovina was inevitable. The disintegration of the Iron Curtain freed not only the citizens of the various countries, but the numerous ethnic cultures mat were sup- pressed by communist rule. Now that these people are liberated and allowed elbow room, they wanted to get away from each other for the sake of cultural identity and socio-geo- graphic pride. Speaking as a country that can't claim to have unbroachable race relations, what with L.A. on the verge of another set of riots over Rodney King, what sort of moral high ground can America stand on to tell Europe how to conduct their affairs? Who should we support or oppose and on what grounds? If humanitarian aid is necessary, the United Nations was created and is empow- ered to lend a hand. I do not deny that the fighting has taken on inhuman acts and in- tents. While it may lift our collective egos to heal the world, it will drain our still-insuffi- cient economy and divert initiative from where it is needed We must put America first and heal our own ethnic tensions and sivial discrepancies. If not, within ,i gei leratii in, we ma v he the ones pleading with the United Nations to save us from ourselves. N - I FEBRUARY 25, 1993 The East Carolinian m POET Continued from page 7 book does not dwell on the actual deathsofNiobe'schildren, but what happened before and after the deaths. InGreek tragedy, there was a chorus to relate the inner feelings of the characters to the audience. Daniels has poems throughout her book which serve this purpose. Also, like Greek tragedy, the book ends on a somewhat positive note. Niobe goes on with her life and a catharsis is reached. Although based on myth, Daniel's poetry is contemporary. Her images are honest and her po- etry is easy to understand. "One of the remarkable aspects of her poetry is the self sufficiency of her imagery said Bill Hallbergof the ECU English Department. "Her subject matter is brave, uninhibited and even upsetting COUNSELING Daniels is a Richmond, Va na- tive. She studied English Literature at the University of Virginia and earned her M.F.A. in writing at Co- lumbia University. She received the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize for her first book of poems, The Whi te Wave. She iscurrently the poet in resi- dence at the Duke Medical Center and Wake Forest University.

Unlike most of us, they haveno trouble figuring out which path to take, or what preparations they need to make for their future. They seem to have the ability to direct their existence, an enviable position to anyone searching for the meaning of their own lives. Such is the case for Pirate pitching star Johnny Beck. In his third season at East Carolina,hewillstartforthesecond straight year. In his freshman and sophomore sea- sons, Beck exploded onto the Pirate team earning the best record on the pitching staff. Beck is described in media notes as "a hard-nosed player whocan withstand pres- sure Beck, an extremely aggressive pitcher, said that he believes some people mistake his game personality with that of his everyday life. "I ju st want everyone to know that I'm not as mean as I am on the mound Beck said. "I'm reallv a nice guv. I have a great sense of humor and I love to be around people. I think people only see the guy on themound sometimes,and I'mnot always like that A conversation with Beck makes it apparent just how consumed he is with baseball. The game seems to be more than a sport to him. When talking about base- ball, he smiles often and his eyes brighten. Beck said he has harbored this obsession with the game since an early age. "I've known I wanted to play baseball since I was big enough to hold up the glove without it dragging the ground Beck, wearing a cap embroidered with the logo for Major League Baseball, said he is excited about the prospects of a profes- sional career,a career thatmay start as soon as this season ends. Beck said he has al- ready talked to his mother about him pos- sibly leaving ECU to turn pro after this year, and said she would support his deci- sion. "She's 100 percentbehindmehe said. "She knows this is my dream Beck said his late father, who passed Women's soccer team rolls past UNC-Charlotte By Chip Hudson Staff Writer The East Carolina Women's Soccer teamcontinued theirwinning waysSun- day at the Intercollegiate Soccer field by trouncing UNC-C 6-0. The Pirates started fast and strong as freshman Kiki Anderson scored just 9 minutes into the game on an assist by Amy Warren. Two minutes later, War- ren assisted halfback Jennie Haines for a 2-0 lead. Then, with 25 minutes to go in the first half, Anderson, a freshman, scored again, with Warren assisting for the third time. ECU continued to domi- nate play, but was unable to put the ball in the back of the net before halftime. Just 3 minutes into the second half, Jennie Haines scored her second goal of the game off of an assist by Kerri Griffiths. Griffiths assisted freshman, Jill Metzger later for a 5-0 Pirate lead. With 30 min- utes remaining, Griffiths scored, assisted by Haines to finish the scoring for the game. The 49ers never could get an attack built due to stione defensive olav by fullback Missy Cone, a sweeper Alison Russell, in her first game at that position. Forward Kristie Daly narrowly missed a scoring opportunity as her shotended up just wide of a diving UNC-C goal- keeper. The win came in the Pirate's first outdoorgamefollowingtheir victory in the Fiesta Indoor Tournament in Jack- sonville. This Sunday, ECU will travel to Chapel Hill to take on the Pioneers, the team that ECU beat in the finals of that indoor tournament. The Pirate's season record stands at 8-2.

Beck knows that See BECK page 13 Laettner suspended for missing practice NEW YORK (AP)�Christian Laettner, who didn't have permis- sion to skip practice and attend an awards dinner in North Carolina, went anyway. Minnesota coach Sidney Lowe, whose chances of beating the New York Knicks were especially slim without his star rookie, suspended him anyway. Laettner is expected to be back in uniform Wednesday night at home against Seattle after sitting out a 95-91 loss to the Knicks on Tuesday night. He not only was suspended without pay, but was fined an undisclosed amount. "Christian said he had an en- gagement and I told him he wasn't permitted to go Lowe said. "If I hadn't suspended him, it would have been an open invitation to any player. It's a two-way street, and I demand respect Lowesaid thatLaettnerV'man- agementteam" suggested he should be in Norm Carolina rather than at practice Monday in Morristown, N.J. At the time of the practice, he was receiving the 1992 Carolinas' college-amateur athlete award in Charlotte. Last year, Laettner led Duke to its second consecutive NCAA championship. "My advisors and agents told me to go, so I did Laettner said. "When I decided I couldn't make it. I knew there would be some reper- cussion, but I didn't expect a sus- pension. "I feel like I'm being treated like a child, like I'm fill in high school or college. I thought this was the pros Lowesaid thematterisoverfor him. "This is a dead issue now the coach said. "Hesuffered theconsequences and now it's all over with. No grudges are being held. He respects what I did The Timberwolves said Laettner was at the team's shootaround Tuesday morning at Madison Square Garden, and he was on the bench in street clothes for the game against the Knicks. Laettner averaged 17.8 points and 8.2 rebounds while starting Minnesota's first 47 games. T, op 25 Valvano honored in Reynolds Coliseum RALEIGH (AP) � Although their rivalry heated up in the 1980s, Dukecoach Mike Krzyzewski says there was a part of his relation- ship with North Carolina State's Jim Valvano thatwas hidden from fans and cameras. "In intense competition, there can still be just as intense a love or respect for one another Krzyzewski said. "We had that while he was coaching, but it wasn't seen and maybe we didn't share it. "Since he's been out of coach- ing � not since he's been sick � that's been able to be magnified By beating the Wolfpack 91- 82 on Sunday, Krzyzewski was able to even his record against the Wolfpack at 15-15. Most of those losses came at the hands of Valvano. Usually, Krzyzewski wouldn't be on the cou rt prior to a game. This time, with Valvano back on his old home court for the first time in three years, he had to get a little look, at least to express that once-hidden affection. "Also, 1 didn't want to go up to be a distraction, but I wanted to see Jimmy behind the scenes See VALVANO page 12 The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press' college basket- ball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Feb. 21, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th- place vote and previous rank- ing: Record Pts Pvs 1.

It is a time to focus on the good things that might happen in the future and forget about what went wrong in die past. For Tony Gwynn, whose weight has been a topic at San Diego's camp each spring, this is a time to talk about other things.

By Inglis Davis Staff Writer Heath Clark, a graduate of Rose High School and a member of the East Carolina baseball team, is an athlete who some- times may not get the credit he deserves. Heath possesses the quick- ness and good hands that make him a great defensive player, ac- cording to Head Coach Gary Over ton. Overton said, "Heath is an underrated hitter who comes through in clutch situations His teammate Pat Watkins said he feels that Heath is a vocal leader who tries to make sure the team is motivated. Growing up in Greenville with two brothers and five dogs, Clark enjoys hunting and a vari- ety of other sports. However, baseball has always been his fa- vorite. He started playing at the age of five and eventually knew that he wanted to come to East Caro- lina and play baseball. Because baseball is such a big part of Clark's life, he has many memories of the game. Clark recalls his most em- barrassing moment. "I was steal- ing third, there were two outs and a left handed batter up. I was thrown out he said. Clark felt he was safe and told the umpire. To Clark's em- barrassment the umpire told him he may have been safe but it was a stupid play. Even though this was not a good play, Clark usually makes good decisions. Although a professional baseball career may be in his fu- ture, Clark realizes the impor- tance of a good , , Heath is an or playing baseball he likes to go out with friends and watch a few education He plans to graduate next year with a de- gree in market- ing and possibly go on to get his masters.

"So I was able to most as if he was on one of his In intense competition, there can still be just as intense a love or respect for one another, " Mike Krzyzewski talk to him and Pam. "It makes you cry, not sad. I hugged him he said. "I felt hon- ored that the Duke game was the game they did this Krzyzewski also had to pit his sentimental side against his coach- ing instinct. "I wanted to be here for the cer- emony, but I didn't want them to have that for their team he said. "I've thought a lot about Jimmy A lot of memories were re- kindled and a lot of feelings touched Sunday when N.C. State celebrated the 10th anniversary of its 1983 NCAA basketball cham- pionship. There was the replay over the public address system of the final 44 sec- ondsofthebroad- cast of the contest with Houston. There also was the introduction of that 1983 team, as well as word that center Cozell McQueen sent 83 roses from overseas. But they were the warm- up act. Valvano came into a packed Reynolds Coliseum; fans had arrived well in advance of the tip-off of the Duke-N.C. State contest. In his early days, he would have had that swag- gering style followed by a casual stroll over to the opposing team's bench. This Sunday, Valvano was reduced to slow and short steps, a result of the cancer which was dis- covered last spring. The disease has sapped him of his strength and weight, although Valvano showed the crowd that his self-described tough hair has with- stood his recent treatments. Heaiso showed the crowd that neither his enthusiasm nor his sense of hu- mor have waned as he referred to newspaper quotes that basically described the Wolfpack's chances of winning the 1983 title as slnn "I remember my favorite quote was that 'trees would tap dance, elephants would drive in the In- dianapolis 500 and Orson Welles would skip breakfast, lunch and dinner before N.C. State figured out a way to win the NCAA tour- nament Valvano said, his voice sounding strong and belying the advancing illness. "This has taught me that elephants are going to be driving in the Indianapolis 500 he said. "It's taught me there's hope The longer he spoke, the stron- ger his voice became. It was al- motivational talks that he worked around his basketball duties in Raleigh. Adrenaline ap- peared to have taken over, and Valvano was working a crowd trying to fight back the tears. And at the center of it all was the 1983 title. "They taught me what love means, when you have a goal, when you have a dream and when you have a belief, and you throw in that concept of never stop believing and loving each other he said. "You can ac- complish miracles Then Valvano talked about his can- cer, how it's pre- vented him from walking well or standing for long pe- riods. It had also led to rumors as to whether he would be able toattend the cel- ebration. He not only made the partv, but he stayed and took his seat alongside play-by-play man Brent Musburger for the na- tional telecast. "I can't run over and veil at the referee like I'd like to he said. "I can't do the backflips I like to do with our world-class cheerleaders. I can't do those things any more. "What cancer cannot touch is my mind, my heart and my soul. Itcan't touch those things Valvano said he has hope that he can beat the cancer, faith in God and his fellow man, and love for the people who have written to lend their support and urge him not to give up. As a spotlight shined on the 1983 national championship ban- ner and 12,000 people remained on their feet, Valvano was pre- sented with a glass slipper, sym- bolicofhisteam'sCinderella-type march to the championship. Then Valvano hummeo ihe Wolfpack fight song for the second time, awaiting the right moment to elicit the crowd response of "Go State "That's powerful he sa id. "I missed that Irish dismantled in Chapel Hill CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) � Notre Dame has been dis- mantled by the best teams in college basketball this season. Third-ranked North Caro- lina took its turn rolling over the Irish 85-56 on Tuesday Tar Heels no longer leery of Notre Dame night Notre Dame coach John MacLeod, whose team has also lost to No. 1 Indiana, No.2 Ken- tucky, No. 5 Michigan and No. 9 Duke, spent his brief post- game talk with reportersshow- ering accolades on the Tar Heels. "North Carolina isasgood as any of those teams we have played this year MacLeod said. "They're right there � they're in that group of six or seven teams that have a chance to win a national title. "North Carolina is strong, they're rangy, athletic and they dis- rupt what you're trying to do The Tar Heels (23-3) won their sixth straight and avenged an 88-76 loss to the Irish last season at Madi- son Square Garden. They outrebounding Notre Dame 47-24. "We were obviously leery of them because last year they beat us handily said North Carolina's center Eric Montross, who scored nine of his 19 points in the first 5:49 of the second half. "We were not pleased with that so we wanted to come out and play like Carolina usually plays Notre Dame(9-15)helditsown formuchof the first half and trailed by 13 at intermission. But North Carolina outscored the Irish 30-6 to start the second period, holding Notre Dame with- out a point for a span of 8:12. "That's been a trademark of thisteam thisyear MacLeod said. Notre Dame, which had only seven turnovers in the first half, matched that total in the opening six minutes of the second period, helping North Carolina push the !ead to 70-33 with 6:40 left. "We didn't have to run much of an offense because the ball was getting inside on the f i rst or second pass Montross said.
