ORAU membership offers increased research opportunities
Photo courtesy ECU News Bureau
Chancellor Eakin accepts a plaque commemorating ECU's induction into ORAU from ORAU's president, Dr.
Jon Veigel, during a ceremony April 1.
By Maureen Rich
Staff Writer
Much to the chagrin of fac-
ulty and graduate students, ECU
does not have a money tree flour-
ishing behind the Chancellor's of-
fice.
Funding for research projects
is a challenge every department
must overcome. ECU, as a new-
member of Oak Ridge Associated
Universities (ORAU), now has
manynew opportunities to receive
financial support for science re-
search.
Dr. Jon Veigel, president of
ORAU,cametoECUtopresentthe
membership plaque April 1.
ORAU, a national organiza-
tion consisting of 65 colleges and
universities, provides its members
information about, and the chance ?
to access, federal research facilities.
Possibilities include informa-
tion about stipends for students,
such as scholarships, research ap-
pointments, and fellowships.
Veigel, in a recent press re-
lease, said ECU will receive greater
access to research programs and
grants, including $25 million in
annual fellowship money from the
federal government.
"Our grad uate students need
to take advantage of the opportuni-
ties, such as this, that thev have
said Dr. Daniel D.Sprau, director of
the office of Radiation and Bio-
logical Safety.
"ORAUJisalmostlikeaclear-
inghouse for opportunities, and
many great programs Sprau said.
ORAU began in 1947 as the
OakRidge Institute of NuclearStud-
ies, and in 1965 changed its name to
Oak Ridge Associated Universities.
ORAU manages and operates the
Oak Ridge Insti tu te for Science and
Education for the U.S. Department
of Energy.
With an annual budgetof $70
million, theOak Ridgelnstitutehas
a surplus of available programs:
education, training, basic research,
applied research and analysis and
technical assistance and assessment.
The medical, physics, chem-
istry, technology and environmen-
taldepartmentswillallbenefitfrom
ORAU's resources, Sprau said.
"We're not a huge research
institution, but we do have quality
people and quality programs
Sprau said.
"This is an opportunity to
participate in collaborative research,
and compete for funds for various
agencies said Dr. Diane Jacobs,
associate vice chancellor for re-
search and dean of the graduate
school and ECU's first representa-
tive to ORAU's Council of Spon-
soring Institutions.
"We've been interested in
becoming a member of ORAU for
over a year Jacobs said.
"Weheardaboutsomeof their
great programs, and decided
ORAU was something we were
really wanted to become a part of
Sprau said. The process of becom-
ing a member required a long ap-
plication form, and a presentation
before an ORAU council, Sprau
said. "This is a quite well-funded
organization Sprau said.
"We just need to get the stu-
dents more aware of what ORAU
has to offer

ECU expands degree
programs across state
Adult degree program offered through
Pope Air Force Base
By Jason Williams
Staff Writer
ECU has started a college degree
program in Industrial Technology at
Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville.
The program, open to both military
personnel and civilians, is designed
for adults with full-time jobs.
Through the degree program,
students take accelerated weekend
courses in electronics, technical writ-
ing, materials technology, power sys-
tems and industrial supervision.
"There is a great demand in the
corporate community for people with
this kind of training said Dr. Diana
Henshaw, Director of the ECU Divi-
sion of Continuing Education and
Summer School. The division is spon-
soring the program in association with
the ECU School of Industrial Technol-
ogy-
Campus and military base offi-
cials recently signed an agreement to
offer the program at Tope. Since its
introduction in January, about 70 stu-
dents have enrolled in the classes
taught at the base's Education Center.
ECU faculty members are teach-
ing the Saturday and Sunday classes.
More than 16 hours hours of classroom
time is combined into the two-dav pe-
riod.
The bachelor's degree in indus-
trial technology requires a total of 126
semester hours of course wi rk. ECU
will offer the required 48 hours (16
courses) in the major, with the remain-
der of the hours to come from other
schools such as community colleges.
"Military personnel often have a
long record of attending colleges. They
often come to us with 20 to 60 hours of
credit from other institutions of higher
learning said Dr. Greg Hastings, also
of the Division of Continuing Educa-
tion and Summer School.

Sorority locked up to help
needy Greenville families
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
Friday afternoon, ECU students
and faculty jailed each other in an ef-
fort to assist two needy families in the
Greenville area.
The Delta pledge class of Gamma
Sigma Sigma, a service sorority, spon-
sored the ailhouse Rock as their ser-
vice project for the spring semester.
Held at the Central Campus Mall, in-
terested persons could jail others bv
making an arrangement with the so-
rority regarding a preset bail. To bail
the individuals out, the jailing
person(s)had to bring either an amount
of monev or goods as bail.
Persons jailed also were provided
with .i Polaroid of themselves similar
to police mugshots. Ihe picture
showed the person dressed in a prison
outfit with their prison number under-
neath
Gamma Sigma Sigma collected
over $100 in cash and over 300 items
ranging from clothing to food to toilet-
ries. The money and some items will
go to an elderly couple to help with a
down payment for a new home. The
remaining items will be provided to a
single mother with three children.
Pledge classes annually come up
with service projects each school se-
mester. Pledge member Jenna Fazio
said the idea of Jailhouse Rock came
about because of the campus area that
they had to work with.
"We had pledge members and
actives think on possible events Fazio
said. "Greensboro's chapter held a
similar event earlier. It's a good way to
raise what we needed for the families
with the help of college students

Technology
leads future of
communication
By Karen Hassell
Assistant News Editor
ECU's department of communica-
tion will usher in the future with innova-
tive plans for educational technology.
AccordingtoT. Harrell Allen,chair
of the communication department, the
department is moving toward educa-
tion in the convergence the computer
and video industries.
"We'll move in the direction of
combining computers and video tech-
nology to create what is now called in
the industry, multimedia Allen said.
"So for our long range goal, the depart-
ment needs to become multimedia in its
orientation
Allen praised the school's acquisi-
tion of the Video Toaster and the devel-
opment of the video yearbook. The year-
book isa multimedia product produced
by students in the communication de-
partment. Allen said it should be ready
around the middle of April.
"There's a story in The Neios &
Observer talking about the conversion of
computers and video technology and its
here said Allen. "You have two giant
companies Intel, that makes a very pow-
erful chip and Microsoft, which is the
world's largest software company;
they're getting together to talk about
producing a product that sits on top of
your television and it takes cable signals
much like a computer that shows us
the reality is here
With planned expansion in tech-
nology, the department may be facing a
loss of faculty in the fall, which could
pose a problem in maintaining the cur-
rent class schedule.
Robert Caprio a lecturer in the
communication department, is one in-
structor who does not know if he will be
returning the in fall.
When asked about Caprio return-
ing, Allen said, "It has to do more with
who is here and who isn't and who
decides not to come back. It's more of a
personnel issue than really mone
Caprio said thatthisisa budgetary
matter out of Raleigh. "We're waiting to
see what the general assembly will do.
It's all up in the air now. No one knows
what's going to happen
"1 think it will be more of an indi-
vidual instructors decision, whether
they'll be here or not said Allen.
Allen said that lean Scafella should

Florida spring break gone bad
All college students wanted to do on spring break was
toslather on some oil,drinkacoupleofbeers,catchafew rays
and jump up and down at MTV-sponsored concerts, but
those who ventured to Florida in mid-March got more than
they expected from Mother Nature?snow, sleet, ice, hurri-
cane-force winds, the sort of thing that basically rums a
vacation. "It was the worst time of my whole life said Amy
Krell, a junior from Clarion University in Pennsylvania. Krell
was with of group of nine students who were caught in a
massive winter storm that paralyzed the East Coast wUh
blizzard conditions after they left Daytona Beach, Fla. The
trip home in a crowded van turned into a three-day odyssey
through barely passable roads, bad food and shelter snatched
where they could find it. High winds and rain also ripped

rescheduling and cancellations of some of the planned out-

Group sponsors anxiety month
As if you didn't have enough to worry about The
National Anxiety Center has declared April to be Nat.ona
Anxiety Month and announced the winners of its third
annual "Chicken Little Awards" taken from media reports.
Killer meteors, a $40 billion space station and margarine
were among those named. "If I tried to dream this stuff up,
I couldn't said Alan Caruba, founder of the tongue-in-
cheek contest. Winners included a report on an asteroid that
was considered a "close call" when it was 2.2 million miles

Hofstra wins Rube Goldberg contest
Engineering students at Hofstra University in
Hempstead, N.Y captured the 6th Annual National Rube
Goldberg Contest, which demonstrates the most ludicrous,
complicated way to screw in a lightbulb. The winning con-
traption revolved around the creepy antics of a tiny Addams
Family, complete with a graveyard, human eyeballs and a
living hand in a black box. Rules say each machines must
require at least 20 steps to complete the task. Hofstra's entry
required 26. The contest was named for the late New York
Daily Mail cartoonist who drew outlandish machines to do
simple tasks. Judges look for ingenuity in screwing in the
light bulb. Points are taken off for human intervention after
the machine starts or taking more than five minutes to light
the bulb.

WACO, Texas (AP) ? Be-
sieged religious cult members be-
gan celebrating Passover Wednes-
day amid reported friction between
law enforcement agencies and a
fight over a videotape of the
botched raid thatcaused thestand-
off.
David Koresh, leader of the
Branch Davidiancult,hasindica ted
an end to the siege may coincide
with the weeklong Pa ssover obser-
vance ending April 14. But he has
failed to keep promises to surren-
der before.
"This is just another date in a
long series FBI agent Dick
Swensen said Tuesday. "I'm just
nervous if they start bringing up
Christmas
The cult's Passover obser-
vance begins two nights after the
traditional Jewish celebration.
Meanwhile, the Houston
Chronicle reported Wednesday
that Texas Rangers and U.S. Bu-
reau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire-
arms agents were unhappy with
FBI negotiators over an alleged in-
advertent tip that led cult mem-
bers to destroy evidence from the
Feb. 28 shootout.
"(FBI negotiators) stated
they're not concerned about what
happens from an investigative
standpoint.They'reconcernedonly
with getting everybody out of
therean unidentified source told
the newspaper.
People who have left the ru-
ral compound say blood stains
werecleaned from wallsand bullet
shell casings were swept up, ac-
cording to the report.
A source said Rangers were
irritated to learn a cult member got
an answer from from the FBI to the
question, "Who are the Texas
Rangers and what are they going
to be looking for?"
The source said he did not
know specifically hew the ques-
tion was answered Swensen de-
clined comment on the newspa-
per report.In federal court on Tues-
day, an attorney who represents
Koresh aide Steve Schneider filed
a motion asking a magistrate to
impound a videotape made by au-
thoritiesduring the raid.Therewas
no immediate ruling.
Jack Zimmerman suggested
in his motion that officials might
tamper with the tape to bolster their
contention that cult members am-
bushed agentsandbeganshoo ting
before authorities did, The New
York Times reported Wednesday.
An ATF spokewoman said
the tape was turned over to Texas
Rangers, declining any further
comment. Texas Ranger officials
referred all calls about the tape to
federal prosecutors, who declined
comment, the Times said.
The siege entered its 40th day
today.FourATFagents were killed
and 16 wounded in the shootout.
At least two cult members died.
Thirty six people have left
the compound, including 21 chil-
dren. Koresh said 96 people re-
main inside thecompound, includ-
ing 17 children.

Parking snafu coming
Administration must arrive at
sound solution to lost spaces
before construction begins
If you clap hard enough to show you believe in
the existence of fairies, Tinkerbell won't die.
If you click your heels three times, chanting
"There's no place like home a tornado will pick
you up and bring you back home to Auntie Em and
Kansas.
If you're a farmer in Iowa, hear a voice in the
middle of your cornfield and build a baseball dia-
mond in that cornfield, "He will come
Finally, if you're a student at ECU who already
has problems finding a parking space on this cam-
pus, act like Jiminy Cricket and "wish upon a star"
for a solution to the loss of 300 spaces as a result of
the new recreation center. Why not? That's what the
administration seems to be doing.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances (don't
we wish?), construction for the new recreation cen-
ter will begin this summer. Come September, a stu-
dent (and any Greenville residents) will have the
unequaled joy of seeing more cars parked on side
streets, more pedestrian traffic on these same streets
and more tickets from both ECU and Greenville
police than you can shake a stick m
at.
What has our wonderful ad-
ministration done about this
pressing situation? Well, in a nut-
shell, not a whole hell of a lot.
The task force that has worked
diligently on this project has only
agreed to act upon two solutions
at the present moment ?
restriping the lot at the bottom of
College Hill to provide 13 more H
spaces and designating the lot jB,
next to Howard House as a stu-
dent parking lot. That provides roughly 50 spaces to
make up for the 300 that will be lost.
Granted, the task force that is working on this
problem has come up with a variety of solutions to
the problem. Some include:
? An expanded shuttle service from Minges
Coliseum to the Brewster Building, running every
10-20 minutes. Students would be able to purchase
a commuter-fringe parking sticker for $40.
? The lot on Reade Street, between Second and
Third, would be gravelled to gain 120 spaces as
freshman parking.
? The James House, located at the corner of
Ninth and James Street, will be demolished to bring
40 spaces.
? Over 400 spaces in both the lower and upper
lots of Minges could be denoted as commuter spaces.
A bus stop is also being considered in the Brewster
parking lot.
The solutions that the task force have come up
with are very viable and acceptable alternatives to
this problem. However, each day brings the con-
struction of the recreation center a little closer with
no concrete plan to make up for the lost spaces.
The administration needs to act on this prob-
lem now. All of the steps have been taken to address
this important problem; all that it needs is someone
to have the initiative to sign their John Hancock on
the dotted line. Make the decision before construc-
tion starts; putting the cart before the horse in this
scenario will only ensure that all the apples will fall
out and roll down the road.
Then again, all the parked cars on the street
should keep them from going too far.

Cigarette tax necessary for non-smoker health
"(Cough-cough!) Look,
you (cough-hack) inconsiderate
(insert expletive here) why don't
you and your poison go kill
yourselves somewhere else?"
Didja ever feel like saying
something to that effect to some-
one who just decided to plop
down next to you and toke up a
cigarette, inevitably bombard-
ing you with toxic (that means
poisonous, kids) fumes that you
seem to be incapable of escap-
ing?
If you answered "no" to
that question, you're likely a
smoker or a government subsi-
dized tobacco farmer, and
shouldn't bother reading any
further, unless you need some
focus for aggression today.
If, however, you have an-
swered "yes" to this question,
we can talk intelligently about
the pros and cons of smoking
and the impact of said habit on
society as a whole.
Now, right off the bat, it
should be known that I am the
AntiSmoke. I hate smoke and
smoking with a passion, which
consequently led me to this
week's topic. However, I con-
sider myself to be an intelligent
human being, as well as a fair
journalist, so we won't spend
all of our time together ponder-
ing just how asinine I consider
smoking to be, but get on to the
real issues.
The reason 1 chose to con-
front the issue of smoking this
week should be obvious. With
President Clinton's proposed
"Sin Tax" stirring up both sides
of the issue, a few viewpoints
need to be examined before any-
one can reasonably form an in-
formed and intelligent opinion.
On one hand, I believe that
everyone has the freedom to
choose whatever lifestyle they
want, and if their chosen lifestyle
includes inducing numerous
physical maladies on themselves
for no apparent reason, then so
be it. Loathe though 1 am to say
it, people do have the right to
smoke.
Although smoker's rights
are a part of the issue, they are
not the most important part of
the puzzle. The real quandary is
what to do about the tobacco
farmers, particularly in the
South, where a large portion of
industry consists of tobacco
farming.
Obviously, the near-dou-
bling of the price paid by the
consumer will have an adverse
affect on the marketability of
any product, particularly on
non-essentials like cigarettes.
To further complicate mat-
ters, the government subsidizes
tobacco farmers ? that means
they pay some of these people to
grow tobacco. Counterproduc-
tive? Yes. Self defeating? Yes.
Stupid? Definitely.
On the other hand, non-
smokers have their rights as
well. The reason many of us have
chosen not to smoke is because
of the destructive effects ciga-
rette smoke has on the body.
Read your cigarette pack: low
birth weight, emphysema, heart
disease, lung cancer the list
goes on and on.
That choice, however, is all
too often compromised by some
inconsiderate smoker who feels
the need to share his or her poi-
son by sitting in the same gen-
eral area as non-smokers. The
effect on the second-handers
is far more devastating than it
is on the smokers themselves.
Here's a fun fact: second
hand or sidestrea m smoke con-
tains twice the tar and nico-
tine, five times the carbon mon-
oxide, and 50 times the ammo-
nia than smoke straight from
the cigarette into the smoker's
lungs. Pretty neat, huh?
That means that it's far
worse, statistically speaking,
for innocent bystanders (or
more the point, bybreathers)
to inhale cigarette smoke than
it is for those with the addic-
tion.
That's right, I said addic-
tion. As in drug. Lethal to any-
one around it drug.
Well, dammit, it's just
plain inconsiderate to ruin
someone else's day, as well as
their health just for a quick nic
buzz. So tax away, Bill, you've
got my support, and my lungs'
too.
Now stop reading, think
about it, go get a pizza, and
watch some cartoons

explain their meaning, but I
would like to comment on the
relationship between King
David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel
18:1-4, 20:41-42 and 2 Samuel
1:25-26. The kind of love these
two men shared was one of
brotherly love. They were com-
mitted to the other's well-being
just as many men in our mili-
tary today would die for their
comrades. In noway were there
anysexualconnotations in their
actions. 1 Sam. 20:41 -42 refers to
them kissingeachother. In many
societies today, it is totally ac-
ceptable for men to kiss each
other in the form of greetings.
Of course, this is not the case in
America so I can see the misin-
terpretations of those passages.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says,
"Do not be deceived; neither
fomicators nor adulterers
nor homosexuals sha 11 inherit
the kingdom of God
In no way do I endorse
mistreatment of gays nor do I
wish any harm come upon them.
Jesus loves every man and de-
si resall mentorepentandcome
into a relationship with Him.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus
always reach ed ou t and showed
compassion to the sinner, but
never did He accept their sin.
Jesus always said to repent and
turn from their sinful ways and
follow Him. To coin an old
Christian cliche, "Love the sin-
ner, but hate the sin
In no way are compas-
sionate, caring Christians
homophobes and hate-mon-
gers. We simply want homo-
sexuals to know that through
the power of Jesusand with the
help of Christian counseling,
they can be set free from the sin
of homosexuality.Jesussaid that
He came to set the captives free.

Existence of God thought to be unprovable
To the Editor:
How interesting. Topro-
claimdisbelief in something is
to admit that it exists. In the
course of my lifetime, I have
expressed disbelief in Santa
Claus, cold fusion and two-
headed monsters that live un-
der the bed. Thanks to Mr.
Webb and the April 1 edition
of The East Carolinian, however,
I can state with confidence that
all of these things exist, for the
simple reason thai in the past 1
have proclaimed their exist-
ence doubtful. Could this ut-
ter disregard of logic haveany-
thing to do with the decline of
religious influence in modern
society1 1 think it's pretty
likely If you can't handle an
intro level Critical Reasoning
dass, who's going to trust you
with thtir immortal soul?
Does the Bible condemn
homosexuality? Does it allow
it? Here's a deeper issue to
resolve. Why should we care
what the Bible says? People
are using the Bible now to jus-
tify discrimination against
women, blacks, Muslims and
others. We all know about the
people in Waco, Texas.
They've got God cm their side,
too. Where is all thisbrotherly
love the Bible is supposed to
be supporting? Not to worry,
though. Twenty years from
now, when decency and com-
mon sense have prevailed,
Christianity will say that it was
in favor of gay rightsall along.
Here's an idea that isn't
very original, but merits re-
peating. Tut this "Dies God
exist?" question on the back
burner for a while, and get on
with our lives. When all is said
and done, we can't prove He
exists, and we can't prove He
doesn't. It's an intriguing no-
tion, but one that's going to get
us nowhere. Let's see if we
can't find something real.
What about moral guidance?
What about a sense of mean-
ing in your life? Try checking
out some Plato, Immanuel
Kant or Henry David Thoreau.
Any of these will at least make
an attempt to answer some se-
rious questions about life. If
the answers aren't always sat-

ine attempt, and this crowd
rarely ducks issues by making
an absurd statement and then

Two-cent beer tax
answer to ECU's
money problem?
Throughout the 1992-93 term, this
newspaper has run numerous articles con-
cerning the debate over the expected rise
in tuition for both ECU and the state's
university system.
Several proposals and sets of statis-
tics have been brought forward in order to
find the best way to garner more money in
the least-painful method (painful to whom
is another kettle of carp).
I personally endorse the idea of a
state lottery to generate the much-needed
increase in funds available for education.
Many states already use such means to
run their superior educational systems
(California, Michigan, Illinois, etc.) while
promising huge payoffs to lucky partici-
pants.
Unfortunately, there are obstinate
lobbying groups that believe such mea-
sures will send us all screaming to Hell for
establishing such immoral procedures.
It's gambling, don'tchya know.
So instead, I propose a sin tax. No,
no. Not on cigarettes again . You smokers
have gone through enough economic tor-
ment in order to reduce your lungs to
dreary sacs of carbon But, I think the idea
of "sin taxes" as a quick and near-guaran-
teed source of income via popular vices is
sound.
Withahordeofstudentseagerly par-
ticipating in "sinful acts" every week (No-
tice the quotes, guys. I'm merely extend-
ing a metaphor.), ECU has the opportu-
nity to tap into a potentially-rich well of
moola with little fuss. Here's how.
A city-wide two-cent beer tax.
Imagine it's Friday night. Let's as-
sume that 4,000 students patronize the
local bars. Say each student consumes an
average of five beers Friday night (a con-
servative estimate for some). That's 20,000
beers, each with a two-cent addend. That's
$400 that night alone without counting
beer sold at convenience stores, grocery
stores and so on.
It also doesn't include kegs or multi-
packs (a 12-pack gets 24 cents, a 24-pack
brings in 48 cents, we'll say kegs get $4.75).
The Pantry on East 10th Street sold 625
cases of beer last week, the majority of
those were 12-packs. Let's say 450 were
12-packs and 175 were 24-packs. That
amounts to $192 a week from that one
location.
The ECU Telephone Directory lists
19 convenience stores. If those stores sold
as much as what The Pantry takes in on a
weekly basis with the beer tax, ECU would
ta ke in145,920 a 40-week year from conve-
nience stores alone. That isn't taking into
account sport weekends, graduations,fra-
ternitvsorority organizations or other pe-
riods of increased alcoholic activity.
If the tax was a nickel a beer, that would
result in $364,800 a year from the sale of beer.
These figures do not consider the sale of kegs
or liquor or a tax on alcoholic paraphernalia.
As much as ECU fancies itself a party
school, such a proposal would not greatly
diminish the sale ofakoholinthe area. There's
monev to be had here, folks.

'Rosemary' to be replaced
Dillon Fence sets April
20 release date for
'Outside In'
By Layton Croft
Staff Writer
There are four guys who'd prefer you
not consider Dillon Fence a pansy candy
pop Teen Beat weenie band. They're real
cool fellas who live in Chapel Hill and are
namedGregHumphreys,ScottCarle,Kent
Alphin and Chris Goode.
Thekoandcoincidentally shares Dillon
Fence's name, but not their sound. At least
starting April 20, when their new LP, Out-
side In (Mammoth), is released.
Like the patient who's just completed
her first psychotherapy session at the ho-
listic health center, Dillon Fence seems
happier about their existence, more confi-
dent of who they are, yet perhaps more
confused about life than ever.
Outside In, the band's second LP and
fifth release in as many years, marks a
musical departure as distinct as it flanges
sideways intoamurkythematicamalgam.
Which is to say, they're getting a lot better
yet equally as worrisome.
Chief songwritersingerguitarist
Humphreys sheds his bouncy blond surf
rap foradarker, more introspective lyrical
exploration. Song titles exemplify this
Dillon twist, which seems evident after a
steady maturation that's happily evolved
since the band's crispy bop formative frat
days at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The music's a lot stronger too. Boast-
ing 14 tunes, including two suave acoustic
instrumentals, Outside In sounds refresh-
ingly clueless as to what Dillon Fence's
"sound tag" should be. The homogeneity
of their debut LP Rosemary shrunk its half-
life considerable and upped its dust-gath-
ering factor beyond that of Robyn
Hitchcock's Queen Elvis.
Outside In does nothing of the sort;
rather, it wafts carelessly to and fro, look-

Jf you've ever read
Tarzan of the Apes or
The Beasts of Tarzan
(both by Edgar Rice
Burroughs), I think you
know what a man should be. I also
think you know that I am that man.
However, as luscious as I am, I
don't want to dwell on me, I want
to respond to my esteemed col-
league, Stylin' Stephen Conrad.
Mr. Conrad wrote a beautiful
little number, "At Wit's End that
you may have read in the March 23
edition of this particular publica-
tion. Point being, I love that man. I
wonder how many people who
read his piece understood it? Of
course, he lost it in the end, but he
spoke words of wisdom up to that
point. But really, who got it?
Especially freshmen.
I love a freshman as much as
the next guy ? hey, I was one! But
if you talk to some of them, their
whole freshman year was a cre-
scendo building up to Spring
Break. What in the world is going
on with that? I have to ask, how
can a student who has only made it
through one semester of college
deserve a Spring Break? Answer
me that! They don't. Especially if
you consider statistics: only one in
three will be back in the fall. But,
God love 'em. Them and their
beautiful tans.
The whole concept is an
anathema to the notion of college.
First, as most of you know, the
whole college thing has now
become part of the trumped-up
American Dream thing: graduate
from high school, go to college,
graduate, get a job, get married, get
a house, have a kid, sell him or her
on the American Dream, die.
But it doesn't work that way.
There is no course offered at ECU
on how to judge when a burger is
finished, or how to rhetorically ask,
"Do you want fries with that?"
Face it, the only way college gets
you a job is if your family owns a
business, or you sell your soul to
ol' Beelzebub.
Now you've got to go to
graduate school. Get the big
degrees.
Take out student loans. At least
that way you can make the sched-
ule at Billy's Burger Barn. Earn that
five bucks an hour.
Get a degree on humanities.
The establishment is against you
anyway, why not make The Man
hate you even more? Knowledge,
baby, knowledge.
Become a poet or an artist; hell,
those are the people that perpetu-
ate culture anyway.
Look here, instead of getting a
job and paying back your student
loans, declare indigence and let
taxpayers support you. Now that
taxes are going to go up, the
economy is getting even worse; it's
a vicious cycle. If Joe Blow knows
he's got to pay more taxes to The
Man, he spends less. Less spending
means businesses have to lay off
the schmucks who got their BAs.
And then everything goes to hell.
Thank you for calling!
I mean, what are we doing?
College is now a business! Every
year, tuition goes up. We pay more
for stickers, more for drinks, more
for the very air we breathe in
academia. Why? So The Man can
get more. Look around, campus
police are twice as quick to write a
ticket as they
are to re-
spond to a
call for help.
More money!
Who's paying
for all that
brilliant
brickwork in
front of the
GCB and the
remodeling
of that
epitome of
capitalist
avarice, the
ECU Student
Store? We
are, baby!
Next year,
plan to pay
$23 for a $4
T-shirt
instead of
$19.
And how about this? Law
enforcement people get in the
movies free! Why? Isn't it enough
we pay them to eat donuts? We've
got to send them to the cinema as
well. Sheesh! They don't get in
free, baby; we buy their ticket. The
Man has always got his hand in
your pocket. I love America. It
don't love me. But, then again, I
voted for Perot.
So, here's the plan. Get your
financial aid. Sell all your stuff.
Buy a gun, a knife and a sketch-
book. Steal the car and drive to
Key West. Sell the car for $100 and
hop on a banana boat. Find your
way to France. Get a shitty job, rent
a shitty apartment and entertain
the locals with inflammatory
writings and drawings about
presidents and royalty.
When you get set up and have
room for me, write me in care of
this paper and I'll join you. Until
then, whenever a cop pulls you
over or asks for some ID, poke him
in the badge and say, "Don't run
my life
Knowledge,
baby,
knowledge.
Become a
poet or an
artist; hell,
those are
the people
that
perpetuate
culture
anyway.

Griffith
makes "Born
Yesterday"
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
Bom Yesterdayisa new film about
the intellectual awakening of a Las
Vegas showgirl.
WATT! Before leaving this cri-
tique based on that superficial syn-
opsis you need to remember the old
adage: do not judge a book by its
cover.
Born Yesterday provides unim-
posing entertainment. The film
sparkles with endearing, if not par-
ticularly creative, energy. The plot is
subordinate to the mirth that per-
vades each scene.
Melanie Griffith, Don Johnson
and John Goodman play the three
leadsinthisjoyouscomedy.Allthree
actorsactresses fit their roles per-
fectly and their talents perfectly
complement the film.
The story opens with a busi-
nessman named Harry Brock (John

often, allowing idioticdrivel tospew
' forth. In one conversation the topic
turns to the collapse of the Eastern
bloc. When askedabouther opinion,
Billie replies that as long as no one
was hurt, "when the bloc fell she
doesn't really care.
At another time, a group of
women ask Billie what sights she
wants to see while in D.C Billie tells
them that she likes to see people's
homes so she wants to see where the
Kennedy's lived. Then she proceeds
to explain how much she learned
abou t El vis whi le touringGraceland.
She spends several mintues jabber-
ing about the multitude of telei-
sions in Elvis' house.
Atthispointin the filmthe script
could have deteriorated into a cli-
ched, boring treatment of Billie's re-
venge on a town that thought she
was stupid. Instead, the story really
picks up as Taul Verrall (Don
Johnson) is introduced.
Harry knownsPaul becausepaul
interviewed him earlier in the film.
Beca use Paul isa journalist, and seems
reasonably intelligent, Harry hires
him to tutor Billie. By teaching her a
little about Washington and expos-
ing her to a little culture, Harry feels
that she will be less of a liability at
dinner parties and around town.
Theplot machinations from here
on serve only to bring the story to its
obviousconclusion. But the ultimate

outcome of this film matters little
because the fun comes from watch-
ing the interplay among the three
lead
Disliking a film that present,
education as beingsomuch fun seems
impossible. The sheer goodwill pre-
sented in Bom Yesterday is enough to
carry the film.
Billie spends much of her time
reading Tcxrqueille's Democracy m
America. One of the beauties of this
filmisthatitinvolvestheviewerwith
the story while prov iding some pop
philisophical views. The film de-
serves credit for spurring interest in
reading, especially in reading
Tocqueville.
Billie is a wonderful character.
She posesses many charming quali-
ties,iikeaningenouspersonality,but
does not come off as perfect. Gnffith
imbues Billie with just the right
amount of intelligence. By the end of
the story it is clear that Bil lie's 1 ife has
changed by her new-found reading
ability and her intellectual curiosity,
but it is also clear that she will never
teach at Harvard.
In a lesser film, Billie could have
been n iade to resemble Shakespeare
by the denouement.
Bom Yesterdayisarx ideal vehicle
for Griffith and Johnson. It nicely
parallels their personal lives. Both
actors now seem ultimately satisfied
vith their lives and career. Tha t j( ty-
ful sati; 'ction shows on the screen.
Gni ith's career especially re-
sembles theart in thisfilm. She began
as another d u mb blonde in the mode
of her mother, Tippi Hedron, one of
Hitchcock'sditziestfemales. In mov-
ies like Body Double, Griffith was uti-
lized more for her body than her
mirxl But, latelyGriffithhasemerged
as one of the bri gh test actresses of the
'90s. She has manv quality roles un-
der herbeltnow that started with the
breakthrough role in Working Cirl.
Johnson seems to have shed his
sexy macho image in lieu of a more
refined one. In Bom Yesterday he looks
and acts every bit the scholarly jour-
nalist who helps educate another
Eliza Dtxlitle.
I have never seen the original
version of this story which was made
in 1950 and starred Judy Holiday
(she won the Oscar that year for her
role),WilliamHoldenandBroderick
Crawford. Although 1 can not com-
pare the two films, this remake cer-
tainly sparked my interest enough ti i
want to see the original. Perhaps the
fact that this is a remake is the reason
it seems better than most modern
Hollywood films of mis type.
Bom Yesterday should be seen
today. It sparkles with genuine vit
and crackles with good-natured
exuberance.itom Yesterday gives ev-
eryone plenty of reason to look for-
ward to tomorrow.

of the 16 members competing be-

for a top spot. Jus-

is not going into

huge expecta-
tions. He is look-
ing for a third or

ing for Danita
Roseboro to re-
peat as 100-and
200-meter cham-
pion and to run on the relays, which
could earn her the MVP award for
the meet. The men's track team
traveled to Arizona this past week-

The meet featured some of the
top competition i n the country. ECU
competed in two relay events cap-
turing a fourth and a fifth place
finishes.
The 4x100 team of Charles
Miles, BrentGibson, Danny Allette,
and R. Crawford placed fifth in a
time of 40.45 seconds. The fourth

Gibson, Corey Brooks, and
Crawford crossed the finish line in
124.10. The men's team will also
compete at the CAA champion-
ship meet this weekend in Wilm-
ington.
Ruggers win
at Guilford
Invitational
By Jason Webb
Staff Writer
This past weekend, the ECU Rugby
team traveled to Greensboro to compete
in theGuilford Invitational Tournament.
After a series of tough matches the Pirates
emerged with a tournament victory and
renewed determination for the rest of the
season.
The Pirate Ruggers, on Saturday,
faced their toughest opponent of the tour-
nament, Appalachian St. ECU dominated
almost every phaseofthecontest,but was
unable to supply a score until after the
intermission, as the ASU squad led 7-0.
As the game wore on, ECU continued
their pressure and after an successful ASU
kick, finally broke the ASU defense with a
penalty kick by Richard "Opie" Moss.
ECU, now trailing 7-3, started to over-
power their opponents, particularly when
their scrum fell to his stronger ECU coun-
terpart. Jay Keller and John Hogan sup-
plied the muscle for an ECU score. Moss
easily scored his kick, and the Pirate squad
quickly tied the score at 10, where it stood
at the end of regulation.
The referee decided to decide the con-
test with sudden death overtime. The bet-

ter-conditioned Pirate squad continued
their relentless pressure for over ten min-
utes until Sean Miller scored off of a J.J.
McCain pass to the far corner, clinching
the Pirate victory.
The next day, ECU would face an-
other strong opponent, Guilford College.
At first things looked bad for the Pirates,
as mental errorsallowed theiropponents
to take a 7-0 lead.
However the Pirates pulled them-
selves back into the contest as team cap-
tain Jason Webb took advantage of a
quick penalty play and scored right un-
der the goal posts. Moss' point-after kick
was absolutely perfect and the score was
tied 7-7 at the half.
The second period showcased the
dazzling play of the Pirate wing as Kris
Moore was able to sidestep Guilford at
will.
Pirate condition ing once againplayed
a factor as they forced Guilford into com-
mitting costly penalties. Two more penal-
ties sentGuilford packing with a 20-7 loss.

Pirate Notes:
NCAAs, games
re-scheduled
Beating the East Carolina basketball
team has been a good way to claim the
national championship recently. North
Carolina is the latest to find it out. The
Tarheelsdefeated Michigan Monday night,
77-71. UNC beat ECU in the first round of
the NCAA tournament, 86-65, in Winston-
Salem on March 18.
Duke defeated ECU in each of their
national championship seasons as well.
The Blue Devils beat the Pirates, 125-82, in
1990-91 and 103-75 in 1991-92.
Only three non-ACC teams have
played the national champions each of the
last three years. The other two being Notre
Dame and Michigan.
The Pirates have also played one of the
Final Four teams in each of the last eight
seasons. The list includes:
1993- North Carolina (national cham-
pion)
1992- Duke (national champion)
1991- Duke (national champion)
1990- Duke (finalist)
1989- Duke (semi-finalist)
1988- Duke (semi-finalist)
1987- Indiana (national champion)
1986- Duke (finalist)
CBS television analyst Billy Packer
said,during the UNC-Kansas game, ECU's
basketball teamwas the only squad able to
handle North Carolina's devastating trap
defense. The i3ucshad only 11 turnovers in
the match-up.
ECU shooting guard Lester Lyons' 27
points (8 of 11 field goals, 5 of 6 three-
pointers, 6 of 6 free throws) was the single-
game high against the Tarheelsduring the
NCAA tournament.

Oija board fails Michigan Head Coach Fisher, Fab Five
NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Some years
ago, when Steve Fisher was coaching high
school basketball in Chicago, his sister-in-
law whipped out a Oija board to do a little
fortune telling.
"She said I would win a national cham-
pionship as a college coach Fisher said.
"We all laughed
Soon, it got even funnier.
"She said itwould beat Northwestern
the coach said. "Then we laughed harder
Monday night, Fisher went after the
national championship for the third time in
five years and second in a row when Michi-
gan played North Carolina. "Crazy things
happen in this world he slid. "I'm in the
middle of it
Nothing could have been crazier than
1989 when Fisher was an assistant under
Bill Friederat Michigan. When Frieder an-
nounced on the eve of the NCAA tourna-
ment that he would be leaving for Arizona
State, he was told not to bother waiting
around and Fisher took the Wolverines on
a magical ride to the national champion-
ship.
"I'm amazed this can be done Smith
sin "You've got to be very lucky and very
good toget here. It'satrernendous tribute to
their player and their staff Smith has
made die trip frequently. This was his ninth
trip to the Final Four, second only to John
Wooden's 12. Monday's title game is his
fifth, and he is the only coach to take a team
tothechampionshipgamein fourdiffer nt
decades.
Still, Smith often hears the whispers.
He'd only won once, in 1982 when fresh-
man Michael Jordan nailed a jump shot in
the final seconds to beat Georgetown 63-62.
"I'mgladwehad one champion shipSmith
slid before the game, reflecting on some of
tin 'disippointments And that one wasn 'ta
sure thing.
"How many coaches have won more
than one1 Quite a few. I'm not one of them
Wooden won 10. If only one coach did it,
(hat's sensational
Still,Smithhaswovenanenviable record
at Carolina with 773 career victories, second
only to AdolphRupp among major col leges,
and no one is more aware of it than Fisher.
"He's been to 17 Sweet 16s the Michi-
gan coach said. "He's going to wind up with
more victories than anyone in history. That
speaks volumes. His players graduate and
they want to come back. They speak of the
experience at North Carolina most posi-
tively
That sounds like a recruiting speech for
the Tar 1 leels, which is something of a sore
spot for Fisher. In his first year on the job at
Michigan,armed with a national champion-
ship, he went after a blue chip high school
prospect, a young man whose father and
grandfather both attended Michigan. The '
mission failed, and as a result Eric Montross
will be playing for North Ca rolina instead of
Michigan tonight.
Fisher was stung by the loss of the 7-toot
center, thinking it might affect the recruiting
of others. 11 d id not, however, as evidence by
the decision a year later of the Fab Five ?
Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard,
Ray Jackson and Jimmv King ? to attend
Michigan.
Despite Montross' decision to choose
NorthGnolina,Fishernoteduiatthefamily's
Michigan heritage was maintained.

Swoopes breaks tourney records
ATLANTA (AP) It's
Swoopes ? as in hoops. And
that's fitting since Sheryl
Swoopes left her name all over
the NCAA tournament record
book and carried her Texas Tech
team to the national champion-
ship as well.
Tech won the title with an 84-
82 victory over Ohio State on Sun-
day and Swoopes, a 6-foot-senior,
won the admiration of everyone
who wa tched with her grace, style
and skill.
She shattered the women's
championship game record by
scoring47 points ? an effort that
also topped anything any player
has done in the men's final.
"I don't think I have ever seen
a player who has completely
dominated games as much as
Sheryl has Tech coach Linda
Sharp said.
"I think she'll be a legend in
our sport. 1 think she's the best
one of her time to play it at this
point
It's hard to argue with that
because the numbers are so con-
incing.
Swoopes broke the women's
championship game record of 28
points Dena Head of Tennessee
and Dawn Stalev of Virginia in
1988. She also outdid UCLA's Bill
Walton, whose 44 points against
Memphis State in 1973 is the
record for a Division I men's
championship game.
And the single-game mark is
just the start of Swoopes' list. She
broke the record for points in a
half (18) by scoring 23 in the first
halfSunday, then topped itagain
with 24 in the second.
She also set records for points
(177), field goals (57) and free
throws (56) for the entire NCAA
tournament, plus records for
points (78) and field goals (27) in
a Final Four. Swoopes tied the
mark of 19 free throws in a Final
Four.
When players get hot, they
talk about being in a zone.
Swoopes certainly was in one.
"Sometimes 1 just put it in
my mind that there's no way I
can miss, but obviously I did
he said.
Not often, though.
Swoopes frustrated every de-
fense and defender that Ohio
State threw at her, going 16-for-
24 from the field, including4-for-
6 on 3-pointers, and making ail
11 of her free throws.
For good measure, she
grabbed five rebounds, handed
out three assists, made two stea Is
and blocked a shotWe tried to
keep somebody fresh on her
Ohio State coach Nancy Darsch
said.
"We also tried trapping her
when she had the ball. She an-
swered everything we tried.
Swoopes seems to play with very
little effort
Down by 11 points early in
thesecond half, theBuckeyes ral-
lied and three times led by a point.
Their last lead was 62-61 with
8:30 left tin a three-point play bv
freshman Katie Smith, who led
the Buckeves with 28 points.
