The East Carolinian Vol. 68 No. 17 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, March 18,1993 14 Pages College Democrats chosen for local posts By Jason Williams Staff Writer Several ECU College Democrats recently won leader- ship posts in the Democratic Party's annual precinct meetings held on March 4. Local Democrats chose ECU junior David Reid III to be- come the next chairman of Green- ville Precinct Seven. Reid will replace outgoing chairman Pat Dunn, who vacated her seat to serve on the Pitt County Board of Elections. Although Precinct Seven includes most of the ECU cam- pus, Reid became the first stu- dent to be elected to the chair position. In Greenville Precinct Five, Democrats selected another ECU student, Julie Robertson, to be- come First Vice Chairman. Robertson is the first student to be elected to a vice chair position in that precinct. Both Reid and Robertson will gain a vote on the Pitt County Democratic Executive Commit- tee, the ruling body of the local party. President of the ECU Col- lege Democrats Thomas Blue said that eight other students were elected to positions within the local Democratic Party. Blue was elected Secretary in Green- ville Precinct Seven. "ECU students were elected to leadership posts in over a third of the precincts in Greenville Blue said. "This is the most rep- resentation our university has ever had in local politics A total of 17 students will attend the county convention on behalf of their local precincts on April 17. ECU freshman Scarlette Gardner will be a candidate for a vice chair position in the county party. Bluesaid thatanotherseven students were selected to repre- sent Pitt County at the Third Dis- trict Convention in May. Mendenhall Student Center will host the event, the first such con- vention held on the ECU cam- pus. Also at the precinct meet- ings, the College Democrats in- troduced a resolution opposing Senate Bill 394, the tuition in- creasing bill currently being con- sidered in the North Carolina General Assembly. The resolu- tion passed in four Greenville precincts unanimously. ECU students are now represented more than ever before in local politics Julie Robertson (shown with Rep. Martin Lancaster) and David Reid were the first students ever chosen to serve in the local positions they were recently elected to. The resolution will now be considered in the Pitt County Convention by the entire county party. If passed, it will then go before the Third DistrictConven- tion for a vote.Blue said that over 400 Democrats from eastern North Carolina including many state legislators will attend this convention. "We hope this issue does not come to a vote in the General Assembly before we gain the visible support of the higher echelons of the Democratic Party Blue said. Steve Benzkofer, another College Democrat elected to a lo- cal post, and information coordi- nator of the Committee On Stu- dent Tuition (COST), spoke on the meaning of the resolution. "It will be a powerful tool if we can get this resolution passed by the District Convention before the General Assembly votes on the bill Rainy days .p .

ECU geologist chosen for national study Career Day planned for hospitality students By Sharon Anderson Staff Writer The hospitality department, along with Career and Placement Services is hav- ing a Career Day at the Human Resources Building on March 23 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event is open to students inter- ested in hotel management, restaurant man- agement, corpora teoffice management and marketing are invited to attend. Twelve representatives will have booths to answer any questions students mightfor futureemployment. Lisa Pittman, an assistant manager at career services, said that these representatives will give students initial contact with corporations all over the country. These representatives will be mostly from North Carolina, but there will also be some from as far away as Florida or Kansas. The hospitality career day gives stu- dents opportunity to pick up information on the companies and to give possible em- ployers a chance to talk one-on-one with students that are interested in management careers. Students, other than those majoring in hotel, restaurant or corpora teoffice man- agement, can also talktothe representatives about other positions that the corporation might need to fill.

Her lecture will be on intensive care ethics. According to Marie Pokorny of the nursing department, the lecture will probably focus on the ethical treatment of the critically ill. The topics of Fry's lecture concern the mental and physical treatmentof patients in intensive care. She will teach techniques to reduceproblemsthatarisebetween medical staff and patientsor the medical staff and the patients relatives. She will discuss the prob- lems that occur in the decision making pro- cess of what is best for the patient. Porkorny said that Fry might touch on topics such as conformed consent, liv- ing wills, incompetent patients, end of life decisionsandvvithholdingfacts.Thequal- ity of life after treatments and family life versus the rights of the patients will also be examined.

Assistant News Editor This summer an ocean study off the coast of New Jersey, called Leg 150, will attempt to discover how the sea level has changed over the past 37 million years. An ECU scientist, Dr. Scott W. Snyder, has been invited to take part in a study that is to depart from Lisbon, Por- tugal, on May 30 and return to port in St. John's, Newfoundland, on July 25. "There is great interest now in this subject said Snyder. Leg 150, a scientific project for the Ocean Drilling Program, is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. "What we are going to try to do on this leg is carefully select the sites to get the most detailed picture of global sea level change during this critical interval when modern glaciation is believed to have begun said Snyder. Snyder is an expert on marine ani- mal fossils. He will spend two months aboard a research vessel working in the New Jersey Margin. The Margin lies along the Continental Slope where the rela- tively shallow bottom of the shelf begins its descent into the deep reaches of the ocean. "We know sea level has risen and fallen repeatedly he said. "We know it is related to glacial changes-the melting and freezing of polar ice. But we don't know precisely when the whole cycle of glacial activity started or the exact causes of it Snyder was invited to work on Leg 150 by Dr. Jack G. Baldauf, manager of Science Operations for the program based at Texas A&M University. Dr. Kenneth Miller of Rutgers Uni- versity in New Brunswick, N.J. and Dr. Gregory Mountain of Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory in Palisades, N .Y. will direct the project. The JOIDES Resolution, one of the world's best designed and equipped sci- entific drilling vessels, will be used for the stud y. The vessel and i ts d ril I ing tower will allow the scientists to penetrate deep into the sea floor to collect samples of fossil-rich sediment. The 470-foot research vessel uses a computer-controlled positioning system, featuring 12 powerful thrusters, to hold the ship over a specific location. It can suspend a drilling pipe in water 5 miles deep and can drill into the sea floor an- other 3,000 feet. The vessel's drill rig will recover long tubes of sediment from the sea bed to serve as "yardsticks" on which tojudge ocean changes over millions of years, Snyder said. Analysis of the sediment layers will focus on the time span from the beginning of the Oligocene Epoch 37 million years ago through the more re- cent Miocene Epoch ending about five and a half million years ago. The Miocene Epoch may include the start of the most recent period of glacial activity when the world was considered an "icehouse "There is a lot of discussion now over when glaciation began Snyder said. "Some peop le don't believe it goes back a far as the Oligocene Epoch Snyder will comb through the sedi- ment to find the fossil remains of micro- scopic single-celled animalscalled "Fora- minifera He said he will examine the skeletons of the tiny fossils to interpret the age of the different sediment layers. The Leg 150 project is unusual be- cause drill sites are in relatively shallow water. The depth at some proposed sites is only several hundred feet. Drilling in shallow water is more risky for the ship and its equipment, according to Snyder, because the pipe that extends from the ship to the ocean bottom is too short to provide much flexibility at shallow depths. The overall planning for the pro- gram is managed by The Joint Oceano- graphic Institutions for Deep Earth Sam- pling (JOIDES), an international group of scientists. The scientists represent research institutions in the U.S Canada, Austra- lia, England, France, Germany, Russia, Japan and 12 other countries. "Top scientists around the world are invited to participate, so Scott's invi- tation placeshimamonga select group of world-class researchers he said. Scientific offshore drilling began as the Deep Sea Drilling Project in 1968. In 1983, the project was restructured as the Ocean Drilling Project. Earlier studies documented major geological events in- cluding the evolution of the Atlantic and other ocean basins. i -fo. 2 The East Carolinian MARCH 18, 1993 CRIMES EN E March 1 Mk20p.tn.

Brown reportedly beat a bisexual former shipmate who had been honorably discharged from the Navy. Admitted murderer set for release from prison HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (AP)�After more than six years of facing first-degree murder charges, admitted killer Robert Lewis Gravette will go free. Superior Court Judge Knox Jenkins decided Tuesday to dismiss two 1987 charges be- cause of doctors' reports that Gravette would never be fit to stand trial because of irrevers- ible brain damage, according to The Herald-Sun of Durham. The families of the victims were stunned. "I can't believe there's just nothing we can do Dot Whicker, mother of victim Curtis Ray Whicker Jr 22, as she wiped tears from her eyes after the short court hearing. Beverly Burch has traveled to the Orange County Courthouse almost every third month since her son, William Melton, 23, was killed. Gravette, Burch's ex-hus- band, has had many competency and custody hearings. "They've got to make people pay for what they've done Mrs. Burch told the Raleigh News & Observer. Gravette was not in court Tuesday. His attorney, Kirk Osborn, said he had been unable to contact him by phone Tuesday afternoon. Osborn said he was sure Gravette would be relieved. Over the years, judges have placed Gravette under the super- vision of relatives or Durham pro- bation officers. Osborn said he did not know where Gravette would live now. Gravette was charged Feb. 1,1987, with the shooting deaths ofhis stepson, Melton, and Curtis Ray Whicker, a family friend. He told authorities then that the men had come to his home to talk and drink liquor. But Melton and Gravette began arguing about a divorce settle- ment between Mrs. Burch and Gravette. Both men were shot sev- eral times and died instantly, au- thorities have said. w SGA JUDICIAL BRANCH Now Accepting Applications for the Academic Year 1993-94.

In fact, the research found that most of those gi ven CPR in hospital wards never regain the ability to breathe on their own. Instead, they spend their final days on respirators in intensive care units, often running up astronomical bills. Doctors from Duke Univer- sity watched what happened to 146 patients who were given CPR � cardiopulmonary resuscitation � after they suffered cardiac arrest in the general medical and surgical wards between 1988 and 1991. Doctors and nurses were able to revive 58 percent of the patients. But only seven patients, or five per- cent, got well enough to leave the hospital. The researchers added up the costsof taking careof all these people when they were pulled back from deathandfoundittotaledabout$l.l million, or more than $150,000 per discharged patient. Nationally, CPR is attempted on about one-third of all patients who die in hospitals. Many are eld- erly and in the final stages of heart failure, cancer and other diseases. When they are revived, how- ever, their medical bills shoot up drama ticaIly,becausemostare trans- ferred to intensive care and put on highly expensive life-support sys- tems. "It'sa medical avalanche. You trigger everything said Dr. Chris- topher CConnor, one of the Duke resarchers. O'Connor and Dr. Mark Thel presented the findings Tuesday at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology. O'Connor said that CPR first gained routine use during opera- tions, when itciften worked well.But it has since spread to all parts of the hospital with little thought given to the cost of interrupting death. "We're not saying, Don't do something. Juststandtherehe said. Instead,OConnorurged doc- tors to ask their patients how they would like to be treated if theirhearts stop beating. While hospitals are re- quired to ask such questions, it is usually done by clerks rather than doctors. And when doctors bring up the subject, he said, they shou Id keep the price in mind. "We feel that the cost of CPR should be considered .vhen the doc- tor counsels patients about whether they should get it he said. The researchers said doctors should be reluctant to recommend CPR to people who are gravely ill, such as elderly patients suffering from multiple diseases. Typically, hospitals by to re- vive all patients after cardiac arrest unlessa sped fic"donot resuscitate" �orDNR�order hasbeen posted.

But the defense dismisses much of what is on the tapes as hearsay. Prosecutors have boiled down about 90 days worth of conversa- tions recorded through hidden mi- crophones and wiretaps into four hours of tapes. Selected conversa- tions were made into a composite tape for Meling's trial in U.S. District Court. Judge Barbara Rothstein sent jurors home early on Tuesday after defense lawyer Cyrus R. Vance Jr. saidplayingl5orl6segmentswould violate hearsay or other rules on ad- mission of evidence. Legal argu- ments on the issue must be resolved before the jury begins hearing the tape, Rothstein said. Meling31,aformerTumwater insurance agent, is charged with six counts of product tampering, twoof perjury and three of insurancefraud. Product tampering carries a maxi- mum penalty of life in prison. Meling is accused of giving his wife a cyanide capsule to collect $700,000 in life insurance benefits and placing other capsules in Sudafed packages on store shelves around Tacoma and Olympia to make the tamperingappear random. Jennifer Meling, 30, survived cyanide poisoning Feb. 2,1991. Two others died later that month after taking poisoned capsules from Sudafed packages. Two tampered Sudafed pack- ages were found in private homes and one was recovered from a store during a $17 million nationwide re- call by Burroughs Wellcome Co. of Research Triangle Park, N.C. Sudafed eventually was reintro- duced as a coated tablet. Most of the conversations on the composite tape are between Meling and members of his family, but about half a dozen involve rela- tives and others talkingamong them- selves, lawyers said after the jury was excused in US. District Court Tuesday. "We have a tightly knit family conspiracy where peopleare actively talking about it on a day-to-day ba- sis assistant US. attorney Joanne Y. Maida said. Before the trial, U S. Attorney Mike McKay said the recordings were the most important part of the government's case, which lacks fin- gerprints, fiber samples, traces of sodium cyanide, eyewitness reports of tampering or other direct evidence against Meling. FBI agent Ronald T. Stankye, who supervised the electronic sur- veillance, told the jury the telephone of Meling's parents, Gifford W. "Sonny" and Velma Meling, was tapped from April 11 to June 10, 1991, and their home was bugged from May 22 to June 22 that year. During those periods, Meling was living at his parents' home in Vancouver, Wash and was sepa- rated from his wife, who had filed for divorce. They were reconciled that summer, and she has voiced her support of him since then.

The judge said she also was concerned about playing "one sen- tence from a whole day's conversa- tion" or "a sentence a day from a whole string of days.

M The East Carolinian March 18, 1993 ThursdayOpinion Convention center will bring in funds to better city Benefits far outweigh the risks in endeavor that will put Greenville on statewide map More money, more money, more money. That's what the city of Greenville can expect if it approves plans for the construction of a new conven- tion center. Studies have shown that the convention center would generate an average of $8.6 million annu- ally for its first three years of operation. Hotels and motels would experience the biggest gains from this new building. Though the convention center would promote an increase in the present occu- pancy tax, managers around Greenville have voiced no opposition to the increase. They have been quoted as saying that if the new convention center goes through, the added tax could be handled. Along with motels and hotels, entertainment busi- nesses such as restaurants or bars would also benefit greatly from the center. Advertising, photography and construction all rank up with these two leaders in the potential revenues that would be accrued if the center is opened. Benefits would be shown even as far down as the common laborer, with the estimated 180 new jobs that would be available � directly or indirectly � from the center's operation. Another benefit garnered from the convention center would be the increase of trade shows and con- ventions that would frequent the Greenville area. Ac- cording to a study conducted by the Greenville-Pitt County Con- vention and Visitors Bureau, 32 conventions and trade shows ex- pressed an in- terest in coming to Greenville. Lack of available space and accommodations deterred these conventions from using Greenville as their base, though. The city of Greenville should make this conven- tion center their top priority, if it is not already. Oppo- nents who quibble about the high cost of land purchase or development would do well to look at the benefits that would come about. When you have more pros than cons in a situation, go with the pros. This convention center would put Greenville as one of the top contenders in the North Carolina race for tourism. Currently, only Charlotte has the top five-star rating for a convention center, with Raliegh, Winston- Salem and Greensboro running a close second. Green- ville is now rated with two stars, and the new center would boost the rating to four, putting the city in viable contention with the rest of the state. Arguments about the cost of land purchasing are invalid, also. Currently, the city is looking at purchas- ing the site of the abandoned Nichols discount store to use for this center. This site would put the center in an advantageous geographical position, virtually centered between Carolina East Mall and The Plaza Mall on Greenville Boulevard. All of the businesses on Green- ville Boulevard � which houses the majority of busi- nesses in Greenville � would benefit from this con- struction and placement. Twenty years have gone by, with hot air being blown around enough to heat the center itself if it could be harnessed. The time for action is now. More time discussing possible concerns or benefits would only be redundant � start building as soon as possible. The East Carolinian James R.

No one can claim innocence. In order to redeem ourselves and to cease this oppression, we must effect a revolution. It is not yet time to resort to violent action � history has proven violence to be a radical cure, but it is only a temporary solution. Since gov- ernment derives its power from the people and enforces the citi- zens' demands, replacing one body of rulers with another changes nothing but the rulers' names. In other words: if the de- mands of the people remain the same, the "new" government will enforce the same demands and follow the same course as the pre- vious one. In order for a revolu- tion to hold, it is the people who must change themselves � and since government serves the peoples' demands, government will evolve in response to the de- mands of its citizens. If govern- ment fails to evolve with its people, then it is time for vio- lence, and only such violence as is absolutely necessary to unseat the public servants who, like ar- rogant butlers, have forgotten who signs their checks. Effecting this change in the citizenry is not as difficult as it would seem. Oppression is by no means a virtue in our society, and few embrace it consciously � many, however, embrace it un- consciously. People wonderwhat has happened to make the nation run off-course when it is the people, themselves, have fallen asleep at the wheel. In order to change the source of our nation, to get it back on track, all we need to do is sound an alarm to wake the people. Once aware of what they are doing, they will act to correct their mistakes, to operate the controls in such a way that their actions will steer the nation back on track. The analogy fails, however, by implying that it is within the power of one person to take con- trol. This country is not a bus in which most of the people are pas- sive riders � or it wouldn't be, if the many "riders" would exer- cise their right to vote � it is a complex machine with a control panel at each seat. It is not enough to elect one man of vision and expect him to do the job alone, especially when that man is, at best, half-blind; and the few of us who are awake do not have the combined strength needed to steer the machine � but we do have the power to wake the pas- sengers and, at the same time, remind them that they are the crew, and that they are failing in their duties. This, however, is only half the job�some of those who have remained awake are frantically pressing buttons and, more accu- rately, pulling levers to steer this country in the wrong direction. Some of them have no idea what they're doing � they will be the easiest to recruit, because the des- perately want to do something effective. If given rational advice, they will see the logic of it and act accordingly. Others, however, are far more demented. They are half- awake, like zombies, and al- though they think they know how to work the controls, they are steering in the wrong direction, toward the precipice that is rush- ing toward us. These people think they know the answers � they act in accordance with false in- structions such as Democratic or Republican party propaganda, the Communist Manifesto or, worst of all, the Christian myth. Each of these manuals is flawed and inherently suicidal. All the same, having a set of directives that seems right at first glance makes these people resolute in steering the machine, and all of us in it, toward certain death. These citizens who are half- awake are our greatest weakness. They are casualties in the fight for freedom, and not all of them can be saved. Some of them are firmly resolved to their perverse and suicidal ideologies to con- sider any alternative. We must act to revive the ones we can and accept our inability to affect the ignorant and closed-minded. Luckily, most of them are salvageable. As for tne others, the severely demented, there is nothing we can do to stop them from destroying themselves. Sui- cide will always remain an in- alienable right. However, we can, and must, prevent them from taking us along on their ride to the slaughterhouse they call "utopia to the butcher they call "God We, who know that free- dom is the most important pos- session; we, who are labeled "revolutionaries" and "anar- chists" in a country that has for- saken its values; we, who remain awake, have a duty to perform for ourselves and for this fallen nation. We must wake the sleep- ing and bury the dead � our only alternative is death. IlWTC�lFlpP&r jtiuft MEATS , WHY gENvrW QuoteofthcDay Management by objectives works if you know the objectives.

On this day, people are asked to " kick the meat habit for a day and to explore a less violent, more wholesome diet The event is coordinated nationally by the Farm Animal Reform Movement (FARM) with co- chairs Doris Day, Casey Kasem, Kevin Nealon and River Phoenix. ECU Students for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (SETA) will havean informa- tion table in front of the Stu- dent Stores on Thurs Mar. 18, and Fri Mar. 19, (from 9 until 3) to provide informa- tion on the en vi ronmenta 1 de- struction that animal agricul- ture causes, the health haz- ards of meat consumption and the animal suffering in- herent in meat production. Here is a small sam- pling: � One acre of trees is spared each year by each in- dividual who switches to a pure vegetarian diet. � Up to 16 pounds of grain must be fed to a cow to make on pound of beef. � 260 million acres of forest have been cleared to create cropland to produce our meat-centered diet. � 200 million pounds of meat are imported annually by the United States, from Central America. Profits from this are the primary incentive for rainforest destruction. � 55 percent of pesti- cide residues in the U.S. diet is supplied by meat. � The risk of death from heart attack for the average American man is 50 percent, while for the average Ameri- can pure vegetarian man it is four percent. � Vegetarian diets eas- ily provide all the nutrient s necessary for optimum hu- man health. � After converting, most vegetarians report having more energy and greater re- sistance to colds. � Over five billion warm-blooded animals are killed annually in America for meat. � Today's "factory farms" treat animals as meat- producing machines rather than sentient beings. Conse- quently, the animals are densely crowded and kept under unnatural conditions which frustrate many of their instinctual drives.

Craig Spitz ECU SETA By Gregory Dickens Scrap NASA to pave way for new space agency If we want to cut the budget, we must think big. Eliminate NASA and put our ener- gies into an international scientific agency. It's a step that, while bandied about, has never been taken seriously by the majority. Doing so will save the United States trillions of dollars,orreduceour financial "sacrificeThe only proposal onCapitol Hill concerning NASA concerns downsizing the space station Free- dom which has been in development since 1984. I'm not suggesting eliminating just the station that will cost $101 billion over the next 30 years, but all of NASA. Since 1986, with the Challenger explo- sion, our space agency has been scrutinized as being the largest money pit this side of the Pentagon. Repeated reports of workers under the influence of drugs while at work, the em- barrassmentof unsuccessful rocket experiments along with the Hubble Telescope snafu have led to incremental restructuring. We as a nation have lost our vigor about space exploration. When Kennedy proposed putting a man on the moon by the end of the '60s, the United States went ballistic for the idea of beating the Russians to our natural satellite. Especiallyafter the Soviets had beaten us with Sputnik. The Cold War was given a new battleground that was politically popular, considered valid by the military withoutbeing inherently violent and socially popular from sci-fi enthusiasts to the scientific community. However, shuttle flights now seem to be mundane and of concern only to communica- tions companies. The information NASA seeks can easily and less-expensively be gathered by probes such as Voyager and Galileo without risking human life. This modem manifest des- tiny can be set aside by practical and ever- increasing technology. Such a move can fit the criteria Congress uses to refine the budget. Streamlining NASA will shaveoff money that can be used to bail out an Savings and Loan; whoever backs the move will be seen as frugal and decisive. Intergrating existing tech- nologies into a global effort that may incorpo- rate environmental and agricultural interests will no doubt be supported by the increas- ingly-aware populace. The military can adapt its efforts from defense and utilize them in research programs. The major contractors that have been sweating about layoffs can save jobs without changing their output; more-efficient engines, better fu- els and stronger construction materials will be the crux of further space research if we are to keep putting humans outside our atmosphere. An international agency would prevent redundancies. In our efforts to have a grand space station to represent America, we seem to be unaware of the Soviet space station in use for about a decade. If we were to work with the developed nations that can adapt their defense technologies as well, we may have the poten- tial for a powerful scientific effort. Far-fetched? I prefer far-reaching. Might as well shoot for the moon. r - The East Carolinian I March 18, 1993 ;tyl( Page 7 'Falling Down' reveals explosive city frustrations By Gresory Dickens Staff Writer There comesadayin each of our lives when we just can't take any- more. Daily stress mingles with re- curring frustrations in a way that cripples the psyche and impairs tamp le logic. Entropy and impotence prevents any progress. In such situa- tions, you just want to throw your head back, scream, gnash your teeth, pummel sorneonetodust or giveup. Warner Brothers' Falling Down begins with Michael Douglas giving up. He's fed up with the atrophy in the city, work and home to the point where he abandons his car in Los Angeles morning traffic to go home for his daughter's birthday. "dear a path.

And the shift of scenes between Duvall and Douglas gets old fast As Falling Down contin- ues, Douglas gees farther and farther into unrestrained misanthropy and becomes less liked as his acts of ag- gression approach cruelty. This is where the sporadic attention paid to Iivaflbec�mesdexriiiwitashehunts Douglas down to a chilling climax. From all appearances and com- ments, Falling Down soundsconcrete. But it leaves room for strong debate. Director Joel Schumacher does a fine job, especially compared to his Lost Boys and St. Ebno's Fire . Andrzej Bartkcjwiak'scinematographyismes- merizing. Conveying the heat and burden of the dimate, the sharp cam- era angle shots use strong design to isolate Douglas' emotion while trap- ping him in the momentum of the story's inevitable outcome. The tale of urban and familial aggravation creates the question of whether or not Douglas' actions are the workof an extreme personality or a more common persona in punishingh-hardciiTXimstarKes.Ishe nutstobewithorisheasymbolfor anyofus?Theall-toc�-familiar story of the shy, quiet neighbor who kept to himself only to turn psychotic in the blink of an eye raises concern.

And then what? Dashboard Saviors save the Southern sound By Mark Brett Staff Writer TtemamthingseparatingtheDasrAxMid Saviors from the rampaging hordes of coun- try music stars seems to be that they're not stupider than dirt Unlikemost country acts, they don'tplay an nostalgia (except with an air of ironic re- gret), they don't sing about gettin' drunk and havin' fun (without acknowledging the stu- pidity inherent in such activity), and they don'tmythologize life in the American South (unless they make it into a sort of hell). Another thing keeping this group from the country ranks is its point of origin. The Dashboard Savkrs hail from Athens, Ga home toREM and the B-52's, and the spawn- ing ground for a whole slew of boring "alter- native" bands. The Saviors, fortunately, have managed to shirk the Athens stigma and, on their new album Kitty, forge their own sound.

Amos and Andrew, a new film starring Nicholas Cage and Samue' L Jackson, left such a bit- ter aftertaste in my mouth that it may be a while before I volunteer to review a marginal movie again. I define a marginal film as one that possesses no admirable qualities in its credits. After being around film for a long enough time,one begins togetacquainted with many of the artists respon- sible for the film, mostly directors and writers. If neither the writer nor direc- tor looks familiar, one can look at the stars and sometimes a like- able star can sell a film (Ground- hogDay isan example.) Lastly, the title may catch one's eye, perhaps the film is a remake or maybe an adaptation of a good novel. A marginal film contains unremark- able actors and no familiar artists associated with it. The last marginal film I re- viewed was Hexed. If not for hav- ing seen that piece of tripe I could say that Amos and Andrew is the worst film of the year. Since I have seen both, that dubious distinc- tion will have to be shared. Amos and Andrew chronicles the trials of a black professor named Andrew Sterling (Samuel L. Jackson)and a small time hood, AmosO'Dell (Nicholas Cage.) The story unfolds during one long night on an exclusive island off Massachusetts, which could not have lasted any longer than the fiH -eemed to. during the evening Andrew ' -ling is mistaken for a thief. As me islander (Michael Lemer) puts it: "When you see a black man on this island with his arms full of stereo equipment, you know damn good and well what he's doing The entire film tries to poke fun at stereotypes yet the overall result is a trivialization of racism without any humor. The treat- ment of the rich is no better. The rich on the island all fall into the snobbish, self-centered cliches. One man says he won't give Amos the keys to his car because it was an anniversary present from his wife. When Amos turns to the wife to say he's sorry but that he still needs the keys she says, "Don't look at me, that car was a present from his second wife Lines like this fell sicken- ingly flat. They sound pathetic not witty. Rather than lampoon- ing the stereotypes the fihn mak- ers unwittingly accentuate them. During the course of the evening Amos and And rew (note tnat even the title tries pitifully to be creative to no avai 1) learn more about each other and become un- likely friends. One similarity, which the writer and director E. Max Frye, that they share is hay fever. In one scene that is meant to be touching Amos admits, while Andrew is sneezing, that he too suffers from the affliction, especially fresh cut grass. Later in the story, in an ap- parent attempt to provide conti- nuity, Amos falls on fresh cut grass and begins a sneezing fit. "See he says, "fresh cut grass Like everything else that happens in the film the viewer is left scratching his head and wonder- ing: What is the point? Not only does the central story fail but the minor stories are even worse.

After leading the Pirates to the CAA championship and earning a coveted berth in the NCAA tournament, Payne has been "rewarded" with facing the top team in the country, the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Tar Heels, always a national power, are once again loaded with All- American talent and a desire to hang an- othernabonal championship banner in their gym. The Pirates have received tremendous exposure from the sports media, as well as a fair amountofcriticismforentering the tour- nament with a 13-16 record. East Carolina, a virtual unknown to national basketball com- petition, is competing in "the Big Dance" for the first time since 1972. Payne said the media exposure ECU basketball has received from ESPN and other outlets will tremendously affect the market- ability of the school, but facing North Caro- lina in the first round may prove to be a little daunting to his team. 'It's good for the program, but hard for the team Payne said. "It's important to get this kind of exrxsure,butit'sdifficultcri this teamtoplaysuchagreatteam thematchups for NorthCarolina are probably worse than any other team, plus they have so much depth Payne said that facing UNC would be difficult in many different aspects, espe- cially penetrating their aggressive traps and overplaying defense. "Their style of play, the way they trap, makes things very difficult he said. "It's not just that they trap you, it's that they trap you from so many different angles, most people don't play that way North Caro- lina traps you everywhere so it's a tough, tough deal You gotta make plays against athletic guys who are also big. How to attack and handle their defense is the biggest con- cern Payne said he hopes his team's defen- sive effort will be able to force UNC to shoot from the outside, but even though he is concerned with the Tarheels' inside game, he is more concerned with their team phi- losophy. "The system, the things they do, that's the focus. You can't really worry about one person Payne said. The Heels have been suspect from the perimeter in past games and this has worked against them. Payne's Pirates must attempt to contain the inside production of Tar Heel center EricMontrosswhilehoping Carolina's guards are inconsistent from the perimeter. "(Defensively)you havetogiveup some things, you can't play mem straight up. You're going to have to make some conces- sions and hope that maybe they won't ex- ecute as well or have a bad night shooting. You gotta give up something Payne said the incredible CAA victory over James Madison toenter the tournament has done wonders for the team's self-es- teem, but doesnot believe thattheunderdog statusprovidedtothembytheirlosingrecord willgivethemanyadvantagesin Thursday's game against the Tar Heels. "We definitely don't mink of ourselves as losers, we won the championship, so that image is something that's been wiped out. That's something we've been trying to do with this program for quite some time. But I can't see us having any kind of advantages against North Carolina. What we've accom- Eddie Payne, head coach of the ECU men's basketball team, prepares his troops for possibly the toughest game since the end of the Duke-ECU series. plished does create some advantages and some positive effects on us Competing against Dean Smith, the legendary coach of the Tar Heels, is not a new experience for Payne. As a player at Wake Forest University and an assistant coach at South Carolina, Payne has com- peted against Smith before, experiences that have brought him a deep respect for the coach. Payne said, despite this respect, he will approach this game like he does any other. "It is an honor (to coach against Smith) cause I have a great deal of respect for him, but it'snot somethingyou really think about. As a player people used to ask me what I thought about playing against ('70s N.C. State star) David Thompson, who in that era was like Michael Jordan in this era, the best player in the country. I remember telling them 'If I sit there and wonder about how great he is, how will that help me?' You respect people but you don't hold them in awe, otherwise you Tl get paralyzed and not be able to do anything Payne doesn't see this "Big Dance" ap- pearanceasaone-shotdeal,andisoptimistic about the future success of Pirate basketball. Photo by Bift Ranson Payne said he hopes this tournament ap- pearance, regardless of the outcome, will create new student excitement about the program. "I just hope that this is the beginning of a process to create a terrific basketball atmo- sphere here at East Carolina. Basketball games and the atmosphere they create are a lot of fun and the students have an awful lot to do with that I'd just like to get this pro- gramtobe an exciting event, and something for everyone to really get involved in.

I "I thought a very big point in trfe game was the fact that after wje fell behind 1-O,ourhittersdid aigood job making run produc- n and manufacturing runs by getting runners in scoring posi- tipn ECU Head Coach Gary QVerton said. I The Pirates added to their fed in the third and fourth in- gs with a manufactured run Jamie Borel and an RBI triple Heath Clark. Watkins fol- ed with two home runs on consecutive at bats as he knocked a 4hree-run blast in the fifth to chjase starter Brian Wood (0-1) ard added a solo shot in the eighth. "I'm seeing the balI real well, nd I was just trying to make contact and hit it hard some- where Watkins said. "The first pitch was a curve ball, and the second was a change up he said. "I was a little out front on it. That's why I got up under it a little bit. Luckily, I hit it well enough to get out Two batters later, Chad Triplett hit a two-run homer down the left field line to end the scoring for the Pirates. The run support proved to be more than enough for Blackwell, who threw 118 pitches on the day. After surrendering the first in- ning homer he did not allow an- other hit until a leadoff single in the eighth. "My curveball wasn't hitting on too much so I went mainly with my fastball and slider Blackwell said. "In the fifth and sixth inning my arm felt pretty gcad, but I knew once I reached my pitch limit he (Overton) was going to take me out "At that time, we wl-p reluc- tant tosend him back out because he wasover the number of pitches he had thrown throughout the year Overton said. "Yet, he was cruising along so we gave him another inning. He started to tire so we pretty much felt that we had to get him out The Pirates next game will be today at 3 p.m. against Marist at Harrington Field. Due to inclement weather. East Carolina's baseball game with Marist scheduled for Wednesday was postponed and will be played today at 2 p.m. Also, ECU's softball game with Yaleon Wednesdayhas been cancelled and a make-up date has not yet been announced.

GAME DATA � T: 2 37 A: 131 Tamp: 58 UMPIRES � HP: Kannady 2B: Bamjrr, Bloom surrounds himself with success at East Carolina By Warren Sumner Assistant Sports Editor Charles Bloom, ECU's sports information director, is a man who likes to surround himself with suc- cess. A glance at his office walls, lined with service awards and plaques, reveals a shrine con- structed to remind him of the value of hard work and self- motivation. Bloom, in his fifth year as sports information direc- tor, is the university's liaison to the media for ECU's many ath- letic programs. He is in charge of set- ting up media in- terviews with play- ers and coaches, keeping statisti- cal data on Pirate games, and keep- ing the media informed of ECU athletic events. Given the size and emphasis of East Carolina's ath- letic department, Bloom's job is no easy task. Charles Bloom His office's decor includes a merit award for work at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, a book- case filled with the biographies of successful business figures and sports personalities,and textbooks on the art of public relations and media management. There is a "Young Man of the Year" award on one side of his desk, balanced by photographs of Bloom standing next to Robert Jones and Tom Scott on the other. Directly across from his aesk, next to his degree from the University of South Carolina, is a script of Bear Bryant's speech, "What It Takes to be Number One Bloom entered his field while in college at the University of Ne- vadaat Las Vegas,wnere he served as editor of his college newspa- per. When a friend told him of an opening in the sports information department, Bloom began work there as a student assistant. Bloom participated through his sophorj more year until he transferred to' South Carolina and entered theiC,N, department. i When his superior at South I Carolina moved to Louisiana State i to head the sports information pro- gram there, he drafted Bloom asj his assistant. Bloom left LSU 18" months later to become an associ- 1 ate sports information director a�a Ole Miss, where he prepared for" 13 months to gain the head posi- j tion at ECU. Bloom's professional life is a world of numbers and statistics. In media conferences, when re- porters need to know who played second base on the 1973 all-star team, Bloom is quick with a name, and sometimes even a batting av erage to go with it. Bloom smile at this ability, to him it is all in a day's work. "I'm a historian Bloom said! "My job says that I'm the histOr rian. I look at my job as: I service the press corps, whatever they See BLOOM page 12 Hoosier may take the title once more NCAA tournament might copy preseason NIT (AP) � Plenty of people will feel foolish after spending three weeks filling in those too-small NCAA tournament grids only to arrive at a result that appeared in newspapers last Nov. 27. That was when Indiana beat Seton Hall 78-74 in New York to win the Preseason NIT champion- ship. The Hoosiers will turn the trick again April 5 in New Orleans, this time to secure the postseason national championship. The score might even be the same. But present on the stage this time, al- though well in the background, will be Georgia Tech and North Carolina. We're getting ahead of ourselves. It was only Sunday that the NCAA tournament selection committee, after much scratching of its collective scalp, came up with the 64-team field. Exactly what caused the members so much discom- fort isn't clear, since 30 teams from various confer- ences are automatic qualifiers and the committee claims to have an 84-step process that enables it to determine the 34 other worthies. That sounds like 83 steps too many. Because any time Bob Knight has one hand guiding a very good basketball team and the other free to keep his foot a good distance from his mouth, it can only mean one thing: the man expects to hang another championship banner at Assembly Hall. Meaning this will be a year when whoever the NCAA invites to fill out the backdrop doesn't much matter. That's not to say it will be easy � even though Knight himself should find the going much easier than last year. Some people you worry about when they get loud; with Knight you worry about when he is quiet. And to get this team to play well, he won't have to resort to bul 1 whips, cerebral reversal, Anticipatory Muscular-Visual Conditioning, or any of the other bizarre training regimens he rambled on about needing to prepare last year's team. And unless he plans to do the surgery on Alan Henderson's knee, there isn't even much tinkering left for Knight to do. Much like the famous scene from the movie "El Cid the Hoosiers will have to figure out a way to prop up Henderson to make it look like he's ready for battle. They will need at least the threat of his defensive presence � mainly as a shot-blocking threat � on a few occasions to get through the. Midwest. But that's about it. See TOURNAMENT page 13 ? � v 12 The East Carolinian BLOOM MARCH 18, 1993 need, I find out for them. There's some things that you look up so many times that you memorize; like how many yards )eif Blake threw tor dur- " mg his senior year, I've typed it st) manv times; I think its 3,073, but I'm not really posi- tive about that (Aglanceinthe 1992 Pirate football media guide proves Bloom correct). You just do it so many times it becomes old hat Bloom, a sports enthusi- ast since early childhood, finds this stat .here at East Carolina, we have to do so much more for our student athletes than a Florida State or a Miami we have to make more phone calls and send more letters because people just don't know about us. Charles Bloom keeping the easy facet of his job, but not the part he enjoys most. Bloom said it is working with the student-athletes at the university that makes him happiest, despite the difficulties he faces while ECU strives for a higher profile in ath- letic circles. "We'vejustgot so many great people in our organization in terms of our student athletes. It's such a pleasure to work for them. When Robert Jones was here, his freshman year was mv first year here, when it became known that he was going to be pretty good I worked with him very closely for four years and Jeff Blake; what a super human being. Success reallydidn'tgo to his head like it would have for a lot of people. . . here at East Caro- lina, we have to do so much more for our student athletes than a Florida State or a Miami. . . we have to make more phone calls and send more letters because people just don't know about us. To me Jeff Blake was the best plaver in college football his se- nioryear.ltwasjustdifficulttoget people to see that Bloom said he feelsone aspect of the work his office does with ECU's student-athletes is just as important to their careers as what they do academically: teaching them communication skills. "When recruits come here, I talk to them and tell them that through my office you do one of the most important things in your life, and that's communicate. You could be the best scientist, the best writer, the best golfer; but if you can't communicate with other people you're going to fail Bloom said he has faced frus- tration over seeing ECU players lose awards to other players solely from their school's bigger football reputations. He lists Robert Jones' loss of the Lombardi award to a Michigan player as a prime ex- ample.

But it's getting a little easier Bloom lists possible confer- ence affiliation as an important development for ECU's national publicity. He feels that a future expan- sion of the Big East may include East Carolina, which would pro- vide the football program with schedulingsecuri ty, improved re- cruiting and better opportunities for bowl appearances. Bloom said that basketball, the other high-revenue sport at this university, must pick up the pace to keep track. "We need the student body to come toour home games, we need Continued from page 11 alumni to follow us around to away games. If people want a big-time basketball program its going to take a commitment from every- body I think the commitments already been made in football, but basketball just needs to step it upa notch (This interview was con- ducted before the Pirates' CAA championship and resulting NCAA berth). 6 Bloom said the exciting na- ture of ECU athletics makes sell- ingtheuniversity'sathleticsmuch easier, particularly the football program. He said he believes this dramatic tendency, combined with the loyalty of local fans will push ECU into a higher level of success. "Last year we were 5-6 and we still brokeattendance records.

TOURNAMENT MARCH 18, 1993 Continued from page 11 Indiana's strongest challenge figures to come from two-time defending champion Duke in the regional finals at St. Louis. Given Knight's considtrable history with former disciple Mike Krzyzewski, the game will fea- ture two teams that are mirror- images of one another � motion offense and man-to-man defense � and two coaches who could be � if you used a funhouse mirror. Knight will still like what he sees when it's over. And from there, it's just a short ride down the Mis- sissippi River to New Orleans, where Indiana will dispose of East region winner North Ca rolina and then Seton Hall. But we're getting ahead of ourselves again. To recap: North Carolina will win the anemic East and the only person bruised will be Dean Smith. The North Carolina coach will have reached another Final Four only to be turned awav again � and this yea r not even on the ballot for coach of the vear. Again. In the VVest, all the hand- wringing about making Michigan the top seed in Arizona's back- yard will turn out to have been wasted energy. Late-charging Georgia Tech will overtake what- ever Michigan's collection of young roosters is calling itself these days, then crawl past Vanderbilt. No doubt, Seton Hall will have the hardest road to the Final Four. The Hall will have to muffle AnferneeHardaway of Memphis State and then sedate frenetic Florida State, no easy duet. Then comes Kentucky. Then goes Ken- tucky. Then Georgia Tech. Thescenario Knight is dream- ing up, except for the trophv pre- sentation at the end, might be very different. No matter. He's appar- ently been dreaming up a lot of scenarios. Ashis team left the floor Sun- day after beating Wisconsin 87-80 in the final Big Ten Conference game of the season, Knight stopped to talk with Wisconsin coach Stu Jackson. "Coach Knight came over to me and sa id he knew the NIT was going to invite us Jackson re- called, "so that's a reliable source At this time of year, there's none better. TEC would like to thank senior center Ike Copeland, point guard Ronnell Peterson, and forward James Lewis for their efforts at ECU. Good luck against the Tarheels.
