The center will alter its name to the Ledonia Wright Af- rican-American Center, and will feature a great number of changes that have campus minority lead- ers and ECU administrators ex- cited. The relocation of the center, a part of ECU's effort to effec- tively redistribute its campus re- sources, will provide much- needed space and a more central location for the housing of mi- nority educational materials. While details of the relocation are still sketchy, the center will house a small library specific to minority cultures. Dr. Brian Hayes, the direc- tor of ECU'S Minority Affairsde- partment, said that while the cen- ter will carry the African-Ameri- can in its name, it will not ex- clude any culture and will adopt an "open arms" philosophy. "There is a big misconcep- tion by some people when they encounter a minority center Hayes said. "People assume that it's only about that culture, which is definitely not true. While the center does serve the purpose of educating students about their own culture, it also provides op- portunities for other cultural groups to learn Hayes said that while the specifics of the center are still not decided, he thinks the center will house art exhibitions and paint- ings relevant to minority heri- tages as well as serve as a social "hangout" for students and a meeting place for campus groups. Dr. Alfred Matthews, Vice Chancellor of Student Life, said that accommodating these groups was among the reasons for the center's relocation. He said that the current lo- cation near Joyner Library was hard to maintain and the Bloxton House was structurally in better shape. While excited about the move, Matthews said the reloca- tion is just a natural progression in campus renovation. "I guess 1 don't view it as such a drastic step to change any- thing, but I am glad about the new focus in recognition the fa- cility will receive Matthews said. Hayes said that he is happy about the way ECU has handled the relocation plan and that the cooperation between campus groups in bringing about this change is a sharp contrast to the way UNC handled its facility. The lack of student in- volvement in the decision of a site for the Chapel Hill facility caused furor and protests from minority and campus groups. Hayes said there has been a much smoother process so far at ECU, and he plans to involve students even more in the final planning of this facility. "What we're seeing here at ECU is a classic example of what happens when you pull students and administrators to- gether for a common good ECU Board of Trustees swear in new members New members of ECU'S Board of Trustees took the oath of Board consists of people selected by the Board of Governors and the governor Photo by Ccdric Van Burn office on July 8. The By Maureen Rich Staff Writer ECU's Board of Trustees welcomed four new members in a brief ceremony J uly 8, and im- mediately set to work introduc- ing the entire board to the vari- ous duties they will focus their attentions on for the next year. "We're looking forward very much to working with the new members said Chancel- lor Richard R. Eakin I think they will bring a considerable amount of strength to this board The new members that were administered the oath of office represent diverse parts of both North Carolina and the rest of the country. Ronald Eugene Dowdy from Orlando, Florida, Louis W. Sewell from Jacksonville, NC, H.E. (Gene) Rayfield from Burlington, and Phillip R. Dixon, a resident of Greenville, each received formal initiation as new Trustees. The Board of Trustees con- sists of eight people selected by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina, four members selected by Gov- ernor Hunt and an ex-officio, in this case Student Government Association president Keith Dyer, Eakin said. The four people sworn to office include two re-elected Board of Governors members and two appointments by Gov- ernor Hunt. Currently, the entire Board of Trustees are ECU graduates, which heightens Eakin's confi- dence in the board's future progress. "They obviously have a great deal of interest in East Carolina Eakin said. "I am very pleased with the obvious dedication these new mem- bers have already shown to this board The board proceeded with an intense meeting familiariz- ing the new members with many diverse areas of interest concerning the ECU commu- nity and campus. Renovations presently taking place and fu- ture plans were outlined and briefly described. Chancellor Eakin's report divulged the increased incom- ing freshman class size at 2,400, and Eakin proudly announced an increase in average Scholas- tic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores to 923, up 23 points from last year's 900 average.

According to enrollment numbers re- leased by the registrar's office, there have been from 700 to 1,000 more women than men taking classes during the sum- mer sessions. Enrollment for first se- mester, 6,550 students, was down slightly from last year's number of 6,600 students. First session's statistics included 5,414 undergraduates and 1,136 graduate students. Despite the decline in the total number of students, there is an increase in the number of students enrolled on a part- time bais. There were 1,643 part-time students in first ses- sion as compared to 1,530 in first session of 1992. On the other hand, the number of students braving the notorious Greenville heat and humidity and attending sec- ond summer session increased this summer by 90 students. The registrar's office reported that 5,431 students are enrolled in the second term of summer school. This number includes 4,363 undergraduates and 1,068 graduate students. There are 3,094 women and 2,337 men enrolled in second session. Second session began June 24 and will end on July 30. Macedonian residents react with caution to the arrival of U.S. troops SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) � The government of this small and obscure country is grateful for the arrival of U.S. troops whose aim is to prevent fighting such as that which has ravaged much of former Yugoslavia. Not so for many suspicious Skopje residents. The 300 troops, the last of whomarrived Monday,arethefirst U.S. combat unit to wear the blue berets of U.N. peacekeepers. The 700 Scandinavian troops who have been in Macedonia since January have a similar mission: pa- n-oiling the border of Macedonia and Serbia, the dominant province of what's left of Yugoslavia. That frontier has been quiet but Macedonian and Western ana- lysts agree on the need to deter possible aggression against a re- gion thatSerb nationalists consider "southern Serbia Macedonia seceded peace- fully from the crumbling Yugoslav federation in 1991. But it has failed to gain international recognition tecauseof Greece'sobjections to its name, and government officials hope that the arrival of the Ameri- cans will help speed recognition. Athens claims that the name Macedonia implies territorial pre- tensions toward thenorthemGreek province of the same name. Al- though in April the United States supported Macedonia's member- ship in the United Nations, it has also not officially recognized the new state. "The arrival of the troops makes U S. recogni tion much more certain President Kiro Gligorov said in a recent interview. This event shows that the international community has finally verified the status of Macedonia as a peace-loving nation declared a commentary on government-run Macedonian television. But not all Macedonians ap- peared happy with thedeployment of the Americans. Most vocal in their opposi- tion were representatives of the republic's ethnic Serb minority. Serbs account for about 20,000 of Macedonia's 2 million people. "The claim that the threat to this republic comes from the north isentirely unacceptable to us said Stevo Stojanovic, secretary of the Serbian Union of Macedonia. "We consider the arrival of the Ameri- cansas completely unnecessary and See MACEDONIA page 2 More computer equipment stolen Floods! Yesterday's floods inundated parts of ECU and Greenville.

Photo by Cedric Van Buren f- By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer While students were head- ing back into classrooms Tuesday July 6, after an extended holiday weekend, university police inves- tigated yet another break-in in the Student Publications Building, lo- cated across from Joyner Library. The target office of the most recent of three break-ins was the Print Shop. According to Public Safety officials, the incident occurred sometime between late Monday July 5, and early July 6. The cul- prits stole a Syquest drive which is an external hard drive capable of storing vast information. The Syquest holds 44 and 88 megabyte cartridges. Three floppydisks were also stolen. Campus police offi- cials estimated the value of the stolen property to be $958.50. BobHarlow,DirectorofCen- tral Printing, said that the Syquest disk contained a large job for the School of Medicine Bulletin. Al- though it caused some turmoil in the Print Shop, Harlow said most of the information has been recov- ered. Harlow also said the perpe- trator entered through the front door by breaking the glass and turning the lock. Nothing else in the Print Shop was disturbed and Harlow felt as though the thief knew where the Syquest drive was located. "They knew exactly what they wanted and knew exactly where it was Harlow said. m �- �luiimiwi While campus police have made no arrests, their investiga- tion continues. "We gave mem (Public Safety) several ideas, but they are short handed this summer Harlow said. Twoconsecutive break-ins occurred on April 6 and 7. Over $8700worthofcomputerequip- ment was stolen from the offices of Greg Brown, Student Media Advisor, and Yvonne Moye, sec- retary for the Media Board. Four months later, cam- pus police have still made no arrests, but investigation con- tinues with possible suspects, a Public Safety official said. Like Harlow, Greg Brown was working on a long assign- ment which was stored on the hard drive in the computer sto- len from his office. "I was working on a 105- page handbook that was on the hard drive Brown said. "Un- fortunately , I didn't have all of it on back-up disks Harlow was concerned abou t the repercussions this type of activity will have on the uni- versity and the people who ex- pect services from the PrintShop. He added that he suspected someone acquainted with the Print Shop was responsible for the break-in. "I think it is pretty bad that someone familiar with the Print Shop was involved Harlow said.

Annie not only feels sympathy for Sam, she wonders why no "magic" is in her relationship with her fiance. Though the viewer senses the pull toward Sam instan- taneously, Annieonly slowly grows to realize that she needs to meet Sam no matter what the ast. Most of Sleepless in Seattle de- tails the twists and turns experi- enced by this fortunatecouple who aredestined to meet. Though watch- ing Annie and Sam wade through life until they eventually meet pro- vides much enjoyment, as much, if not more, enjoyment is derived from watching how this Hollywood ro- mance acknovviedges its magical, mythical premise. The film seems to say tha t the story is so fa r-fetched that only inHollywood do romance like this occur. The way that Sleepless in Seattle writer and director Nora Ephron (who also wrote When Harry Met Sally) accomplishes this artfulness is by employing a film to parallel theromanceofAnnieandSam.The prototypical Hollywood romance she chcxises is An Affair to Remem- ber, which stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. (Miss Kerr's spel ling is correct so that when the con ver- sa tion arises in the filmasto whether the actress was Deborah "Carr or Kerr you will already know.) In An Affair to Remember, about which you will leam by seeing Sleep- less in Seattle, Grant and Kerr ar- range to meet on top of the Empire State building on Valentine's Day. When Kerr gets hit by a taxi, she cannot make it, and Grant is too proud to find out why. Though ev- erything works out in the end, the denouncement proves heart- wrenching asevidenced by the tears shed when Suzy(RitaWilson,a.k.a. Mrs. Tom Hanks), one of Sam's friends in Sleepless in Seattle ,relates the plot of An Affair to Remember. Thisextremelyperceptjvesoene 'Last Action Hero' provides little motion, many rumors By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The rumors have now been fly- ing for months about how Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film, Last Ac- tion Hero, would bomb at the box office.Thoughitappearsthatthefilm will perform well, though not spec- tacularly(especially when compared toumssic Park), Last Action Hero will probably be remembered asa disap- pointment. Thissituati on seems tohave been caused almost completely by the press. So often, a film becomes doomed even before being released because of a word called "buzz If the buzz proves favorable, then a small film like Sleepless in Saiffieopens to bignumbersatthe box office. If the buzz is negative then a big film like Last Action Hero opens without much fanfare. Most of the time, the Hollywocxj press hits the mark with their buzz, although sometimes the grist mill of rumors turns unchecked and some decent movies get crushed in the pro- cess. Last Action Hero is certainly not a greatfilm. Itlacksa tautstoryline,and its jokesareoften very obvious. Some would say the film is too self-serving andself-promoting.Cthersa)mplain that Last Action Hero, despite its title, contains very little action. HadLastActbnHerobeenasmaW film, along the lines of The Player, this witty story that satirizes action films mightha vegarnered Hollywood sup- port Since Last Action Hero is a huge, big-budget, Hollywood production, many onlookers have been anxious to see it fail. The story takes place in two fo- rums. The first arena the audience sees is the fil m world. Danny Mad igan (AustinO'Brien)watchesrusfavorite action star, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger), in the confines of an old New York City theater. The audience knows they are witnessing a film within a film, because the first shot of Last Action Hero showsa movie screen. Then the camera zooms in to fill up theen tire frame with the movie occurring within the movie. Later in the film Danny gets a chance to see a sneak preview of the newest JackSlaterfilm,daringly titled jack Slater 1V. Danny's friend (Robert Prosky) works at the theater and al- lows Danny to see the picture the day before it opens. He also gives Danny a magic ticket that once belonged to Houdini. The ticket allows Danny toenter the film world of Jack Slater N. Once inthemovie,Dannyquicklvbeames friends with Jack.

Sanny tries to convince Jack knows that Jack's real name is Arnold Schwa rzenegger by taking him toa video store to show him all of the Schwarzenegger mov- ies.

Fox has established himself as an endearing wise-guy in many films. His latest effort, Life with Mikey, provides him with one of his most solid vehicles to date. Life with Mikey tells the tale of a washed-up child star who has be- come a talent agent for children. Michael Chapman (Michael J. Fox) used to star in a sit-com called "Life with Mikey"abouta bra try, butador- able, elementary school child. One of Mikey's trademarks involved look- mg mefully sorry after ha vingmisbe- haved and sheepishly asking about the possibility of "getting time off for good behavior Judging from the similarities of Mikey Chapman and Michael J. Fox (even their names are the same), one could assume that Life with Mikey presentsa case of art imitating life. At one point Mikey congratulates a cli- ent fordoinga great cookiecommer- cial. He says: "You were great! People have won Emmys for less than that 1 should know, I did Lines like these allow the viewer a chance to smile along with the star, knowing that life and art often be- come intermingled.

Life with M ikey, while acknowledging thelikenesses, works diligently to create a satisfying story without relying on superficialities. Mikey now ownsa talent agency with his brother (Nathan Lane). The two barely make a living partly be- cause Mikey cannot bring himself to take the job seriously. The first time theaudience meets Mikey he ison the street playing street hcxikey with a group of children. As the story un- folds, Mikey's immaturity bec mes more evident. He lives alone in an apartmentthatherarely leans,sh ws up late tor work and spends his free time watching reruns of "Life with Mikey Mikey's life changes when his wallet gets stolen by a spunky 11- year-old named Angle Vega (Chris- tina Vidal). Mikey later sees the same girl being accosted by a group of people. Angie relates a woeful, con- trived tale to the crowd about her family life as an excuse for having to steal. Mikey sees talent in her acting and eventually convinces her to try out fi ra part in a cookiecommerrial. Most of the film chronicles the relationship between Angie and Mikey. Surprisingly,despite the 91 jv timentality evident in the plot, the filmne'erbecomescloing.Theemo- tionally powerful scenes have no swelling music nor expansive histri- onic outburst for theaters. These scenes play a pleasantly low-key part of the film. They speak for themselves without the manipulative intrusions of the filmmakers. Life with Mikey, while being a charming story, also has plenty of laughter associated with it. In one especial ly hilarious scene, Angie and Mikey eat breakfast together. Angie brings fresh orangejuiceand muffins from a local store while Mikey rum- mages for some cereal and mil k. The milk he pours out contains lumps, and the audience can virtually sense theodor. While Angie munchespleas- antly on her healthy meal, Mikey stubbornly eats a spoonful from his bowl. The expressions on his face should delight everyone in theaudi- ence. Cyndi Lauper plays Geena, the secretaryatthetalentagency,andshe also provides a few giggles. Lauper plays the dizzy secretary to perfec- tion. In one scene the director, James Lapine, focuses on Geena's fake fin- gernails while a letter Ls being dic- tated. One fingernail falls off, and Geena struggles to fix it while telling Mr. Chapman that he is going tixi fast. See FOX page 4 highlights one of Ephron's strong points: She clearly understands the superficial differences between the maleandrhefemalesexes.Herscript for When Harry Met Sally proved that as it asked the question about whether a man and woman can havea relationship wirhoutsex ever entering into it. In the aforementioned scene in Sleepless in Seattle,Sum and hisfriend look at the teary-eyed woman dumbfoundedly, unable to under- stand why memories of a movie would reduce her to uncontrollable sobs. The only way they know to react is to joke about how they cry every time they see the end of The Dirty Dozen. They carry on for sev- eral minutes going into excruciat- ing detail about the film. They do this to overcome their discomfort concerning the woman's emo- tional outburst and, in the pro- cess, make her uncomfortable. Ephron writes and directs the scene perfectly. The emotions ex- perienced by the characters are those with which most viewers will identify. At one point in the story, Annie's best friend tells her that Annie wants a Hollywood ro- mance, not a real life romance. The audience can practically see the smirk on the actresses' faces as well as on the faces of the entire film crew. By letting the audience See SEATTLE page 4 'Hey Zeus is grunge's latest offer By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer For those of you who don't know, there was a punk-rock ex- plosion in L.A. in the 1980s. It helped produce the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the ever wondrous Jane's Addiction and an incredibly influential band called X. This type of music re- mained underground until just recently with the success of Pearl Jam, Nirvana and those other grunge folks. But forget those people for now, we are talking about X. The band has quite a history, five albums re- leased in the '80s, including the titles "Los Ange- les" and "Ain't Love Grand Their members remain the same � John Doe (bass, singer, songwriter), Exene Cervenka (singer, songwriter), Tony Gilkyson (guitar) and D.J. Bonebreak (drums). After a four year sabbatical, theband went back to the studio and produced "Hey Zeus On "Hey Zeus X has ex- plored new ground musically,and morenoticeabry in their lyrics. They keep their old reelings of darkness on some songs like "Big Blue House" and wax poetically sur- real on "New Life There iseven a little tingeof punk flavor on tracks Hey Zeus like"CountryatWar"and "Arms for Hostages which deliver some stinging political and so- cial satire. Their lyrics have ex- panded beyond L.A they have challenged themselves by explor- ing the world at large. "Our goal with this record was to do what Los Angeles first did, and that is to surprise people with some- thing they weren't expecting says Exene. This isan album for the'90s. fj They approach j the all consum- ingmaterialism of America on "Everybody" and the post- Bush recession blueson "Clean Like Tomor- row There are even a few love songs thrown in for good mea- sure. "Hey Zeus is strong, new, and defi- nitely worth buying. Maybe all these grunge bands have ex- panded America's musical tastes to include X in their success, which is not altogether a bad thing for a band with real talent Exene commented But if it weren't for this new crop of bands, I don't think I'd be as enthusiastic about doing this. I like the fact that it's not weird to have your hair dyed red, to be a political activist or to listen to a band like Nirvana. For me it's like getting out of jail Can I get an amen?

How many fat grams should a person consume per day? Answer: Nutrition experts recom- mend that the fat in our diet should amount to no more than 30 percent of the caloriesweeat � daily. In order to determine how much fat should be in your diet, you should estimate what your daily caloric intake is (or should be). Women typically consume 2000 calories per day, while men consume 2700 calories. (The ex- act amount of calo: es needed varies according toage, activity level and other factors). Once you've determined your daily caloric intake, you can figure out the maximum number of daily calories that should come from fat by multi- plying the total number of daily calories by I .30. For example, 2000 (total calo ries) x .30600 calories (fat calories). Since " one gram of fat contains 9 calo- ries, the number of fat calories must be divided by 9. Using the previous example 600 calories di- vided bv 9 equals 66.6 grains of fat. Therefore, the maximum fat intake for a 2000 calorie diet is nearly 67 grams. � �- .fr July 14, 1993 ACTION Continued from page 3 VVafchin forthe cmeosalonemake rth watching.

But Americans often pride themselves in being an ever-changing society, if only to be recognized as number one. No, cynicism is not my intent. A cultural center is not only a nicety of an expanding university, but a necessity of a culture in strife. The Ledonia Wright Afro-American Center moves to the Bloxton House across from the Mendenhall Student Center. Most of you have probably never heard of it, tucked away near Joyner Library. Its much-needed move will hopefully change all that. 1 challenge anyone out there to provide a reason against a multicultural center. Maybe there are a handful of narrow-minded individuals who have eqlly narrow-minded hearts and brains and are opposed to the center, but most are in favor of one. On a very simplistic level, it is capable of expanding our little community of Greenville's outlook on our common culture. That common cul- ture is the one called "humanism Humanism incorporates everyone's individualism and still defines who we are. Sound like a magic trick? Well, it may resemble one. We are all different, thank goodness. Our "differentness" is defined by how our parents raised us, the neighborhood we lived in and nu- merous other factors. It only makes sense that we enter the world armed with ideas and beliefs in opposition to others. That doesn't necessarily mean that we can't co-exist. People are lulled into believing that dif- ferent is bad. On the contrary! Different can teach us so much about others and ourselves. Most im- portantly, it can expand our visions and dreams. There is one aspect of the center that you may be wondering about. Will it include all minority cultures, even though it will be called the African- American Center? The answer is yes. It will house minority educational materials and a small library specific to minority cultures. But it will not exclude anyone. The misconception is people think that since it is called by a certain culture's name, it will only cater to those individuals who are a part of it. While it does serve the purpose of informing stu- dents of that particular culture, it also provides the opportunity for others to learn. That's the whole point. It is there to teach, to inform and to expand individuals' horizons. Its purpose is not to hurt anyones feelings or egos. The center will adopt an open arms philosophy and will see to the needs and wants of all minority cultures. Also, with the move, many faculty members will receive the recognition they deserve. Now who can oppose that? Others aspects of the center will include art exhibitions and paintings relevant to minority heri- tages and as a social hang out for interested stu- dents. If taken advantage of, it can turn out to be a very cool place. So get yourself over to the new African- American Center when it finishes unpacking and learn about someone or someplace different than you. Open-mindedness is an important aspect of education. Different can be a very good thing. The East Carolinian Lindsay Fernandez, General Manager Joseph Horst, Managing Editor Matthew A.

July means seeing rela- tivesyou haven't seen in months or even years parading around in abominable fashions (typi- cally including Hawaiian shirts and black kneehigh socks with plaid shorts) over a barely di- gestible charcoal burger. July means insane pyroma- niacs and amateur demolition expert wanna-bes driving across state lines to purchase fireworks with which they will likely lose fingers or hearing. July means idiots who come up to you and say, "hot enough for you?" Or "it's not the heat; it's the humidity Most important, gentle readers, July meansbikinis,and with bikinis, ogling the bodies that are in them. Now ladies, before you get pissed off as we progress in our discussion, I'd like you all to consider the male point of view in this matter, and then take a look at yourselves, honestly if you are able. This point isn't as one-sided as it may appear at first glance, whether you are able to admit it or not. Now guys, work with me here. Haven't we all just sat around watching women? It's a great pastime, and best of all, it's free! I openly admit that I thoroughly enjoy watching tanned, toned and well-oiled women parading their wares at the beach. As a "sensitive 90's man who is comfortably secure in his sexuality I'm not the least bit ashamed. Now, no one can tell me that swimsuits today aren't de- signed with people like me in mind. The entire industry is based on it. Women buy padded suits to appear more appealing to those who would look, to land a date, or a mate, not to put too fine a tip on it. What really pisses me off (here's where 1 finally make my point) is the fact that many women are offended by recre- ational viewers like myself. Explain to me, if you will, the logic behind covering only 10 percent of your total body area, and then throwing a fit when you accomplish your goal of being noticed. My theory is a simple one: if you don't want people scoping you out at the beach, you're mentally and sexually dead, and you might as well wear a petti- coat and bring along a Reader's Digest condensed novel. The beach, and well, the world in general, is a very flirty place and those skimpy suits do wonders for the whole process. Do you know what? I think it's a fine, fine thing. Maybe if we all went around totally naked all the time, there might not be so many lonely people in the world. What's that? "Pig you say? Well, "Oink! Oink says I. It's the truth. Ladies, please don't feel above all this, because some of us aren't the unobservant louts walking-balls-of-sperm some of you take us for; I, for one, notice things. I see women casually try to look disinterested in a huge chest and a tight butt in a pair of Speedos.Give it up � we can still tell. You're just as bad as us, except we're more overt about it. So guys, do yourselves a favor and avoid a hassle; buy some mirrored sunglasses. They help.

Scott Batchelor Independence Day proves different for all Ah, the Fourth of JulylThatspecial time once a year when we gather with family and friends to celebrate the invention of gunpow- der. It's also called Independence Day, to honor the freedom of those who j ust turned 21 and can purchase beer legally for the first time. We also celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the begin- ning of the long, bloody struggle for Ameri- can independence from Britain. Whocan for- get those stirring words penned by Thomas Jefferson in the sweltering July heat over 200 years ago: "What I want to know is, why do we have to do this in the middle of the sum- mer? My arm keeps sticking to the paper; I'm sweating like a Tory; and I guess I'm going to have to bribe the bar maid to bring me another pint of ale Tom made it through that summer and emerged with America's birth certificate, so to speak. What a happy turn of events for present-day Americans. Wecelebratethathis- toric period wi th carnivals, picnics, fireworks (that is, in non-fascist states where they're still legal), softball games and parades. Incidentally, parades remind me of Shriners, and Shriners remind me of that annual fish fry they hold to benefit burn cen- ters. Question: Am I the only one who thinks holding a fish FRY to benefit BURN centers is just a little sick? Independence Day festivitiesareabout friends. Folks who can share in your highest achievements, who stand by you when the chips are down; who don't tell the police when you drop a bottle rocket down a pipe and fire it at them; who don't mind the temporary numbness in the fingers caused when a firecracker's fuse is a little quicker than expected. These are the people you want to surround yourself with when celebrating American independence. (Disclaimer for NC law enforcement authorities: The preceding references to class "C" fireworks is in no way an admission of guilt in the purchasing, possession or use of such fireworks, and the similarities between the scenes described above and what I actu- ally did on the Fourth of July is completely coincidental, as far as you're concerned.) I think many Americans, especially the youngsters, tend to lose sight of what this holiday means. I asked one young person� he was about 15 or 16� what the July Fourth celebration is all about. "Well he began, "it's when the found- ingfatherssigned the Declaration of Indepen- dence and proclaimed themselves free from England "That's impressive I said. "You'vere- affirmed my faith in "And then these found ing fathers,all of them white male Europeans, of course, car- ried on with the subjugation of women, the systematic rape of the environment, oppres- sion of the Africans brought here as slaves, aggressive colonization, destruction of "Hold it, hold it, kid I said. "Where in the world are you from anyway?" "Chapel Hill he replied. So I fired a couple bottle rockets at him and he ran away. Now I ask you, name me another coun- try where two people can engage in the free exchange of ideas like that?

Printed on aSL 100 recycled paper Swimsuit wearers beware of mirrored sunglasses Well, kids, it's July again, and we all know what that means; well, maybe we don't. Allow me to clarify. July means seeing rela- tives you haven't seen in months or even years parading around in abominable fashions (typi- cally including Hawaiian shirts and black kneehigh socks with plaid shorts) over a barely di- gestible charcoal burger. July means insane pyroma- niacs and amateur demolition expert wanna-bes driving across state lines to purchase fireworks with which they will likely lose fingers or hearing. July means idiots who come up to you and say, "hot enough for you?" Or "it's not the heat; it's the humidity Most important, gentle readers, July means bikinis, and with bikinis, ogling the bodies that are in them. Now ladies, before you get pissed off as we progress in our discussion, I'd like you all to consider the male point of view in this matter, and then take a look at yourselves, honestly if you are able. This point isn't as one-sided as it may appear at first glance, whether you are able to admit it or not. Now guys, work with me here. Haven't we all just sat around watching women? It's a great pastime, and best of all, it's free! I openly admit that I thoroughly enjoy watching tanned, toned and well-oiled women parading their wares at the beach. As a "sensitive 90's man who is comfortably secure in his sexuality I'm not the least bit ashamed. Now, no one can tell me that swimsuits today aren't de- signed with people like me in mind. The entire industry is based on it. Women buy padded suits to appear more appealing to those who would look, to land a date, or a mate, not to put too fine a tip on it. What really pisses me off (here's where I finally make my point) is the fact that many women are offended by recre- ational viewers like myself. Explain to me, if you will, the logic behind covering only 10 percent of your total body area, and then throwing a fit when you accomplish your goal of being noticed. My theory is a simple one: if you don't want people scoping you out at the beach, you're mentally and sexually dead, and you might as well wear a petti- coat and bring along a Reader's Digest condensed novel. The beach, and well, the world in general, is a very flirty place and those skimpy suits do wonders for the whole process. Do you know what? I think it's a fine, fine thing. Maybe if we all went around totally naked all the time, there might not be so many lonely people in the world. What's that? "Pig you say?WellOink!OinksaysI. It's the truth. Ladies, please don't feel above all this, because some of us aren't the unobservant louts walking-balls-of-sperm some of you take us for; I, for one, notice things. I see women casually try to look disinterested in a huge chest and a tight butt in a pair ofSpeedos.Giveitup � we can still tell. You're just as bad as us, except we're more overt about it. So guys, do yourselves a favor and avoid a hassle; buy some mirrored sunglasses. They help.

Scott Batchelor Independence Day proves different for all Ah, the Fourth of July! That special time once a year when we gather with family and friends to celebrate the invention of gunpow- der. It's also called Independence Day, to honor the freedom of those who just turned 21 and can purchase beer legally for the first time. We also celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the begin- ning of the long, bloody struggle for Ameri- can independence from Britain. Who can for- get those stirring words penned by Thomas Jefferson in the sweltering July heat over 200 years ago: "What I want to know is, why do we have to do this in the middle of the sum- mer? My arm keeps sticking to the paper; I'm sweating like a Tory; and I guess I'm going to ha ve to bribe the bar maid to bring me another pint of ale Tom made it through that summer and emerged with America's birth certificate, so to speak. What a happy rum of events for present-day Americans. Wecelebrate that his- toricperiod with carnivals, picnics, fireworks (that is, in non-fascist states where they're still legal), softball games and parades. Incidentally, parades remind me of Shriners, and Shriners remind me of that annual fish fry they hold to benefit bum cen- ters. Question: Am I the only one who thinks holding a fish FRY to benefit BURN centers is just a little sick? Independence Day festivities are about friends. Folks who can share in your highest achievements, who stand by you when the chips are down; who don't tell the police when you drop a bottle rocket down a pipe and fire it at them; who don't mind the temporary numbness in the fingers caused when a firecracker's fuse is a little quicker than expected. These are the people you want to surround yourself with when celebrating American independence. (Disclaimer for NC law enforcement authorities: The preceding references to class "C" fireworks is in no way-an admission of guilt in the purchasing, possession or use of such fireworks, and the similarities between the scenes described above and what I actu- ally did on the Fourth of July is completely coincidental, as far as you're concerned.) I think many Americans, especially the youngsters, tend to lose sight of what this holiday means. I asked one young person� he was about 15 or 16� what the July Fourth celebration is all about. "Well he began, "it's when the found- ingfatherssigned the Declaration of Indepen- dence and proclaimed themselves free from England "That's impressive I said. "You've re- affirmed my faith in "And then these founding fa thers,allof them white male Europeans, of course, car- ried on with the subjugation of women, the systematic rape of the environment, oppres- sion of the Africans brought here as slaves, aggressive colonization, destruction of "Hold it, hold it, kid I said.

He probably ha a good idea. Hart, the Director of Athletics at EastCarolina University, isquite familiar with riding"the great white whale" of Pirate athletics. He must try to steer this program through thebtormyseasof conference affili- ation, national television contracts, stadium renovation, athletic fund raising and public relations no small feat considering the high aspirations held by the athletic de- partment and its boosters. While gainingnational promi- nence for ECU athletics must al- ways remaina team effort,itis Hart that the administration and Pirate club supporters charge to get re- sults. Hart said that keeping all these "constituencies" happy isa require- ment for his position. "I think the job as athletic di- rector is a very high profile one witha lot of builtin 'constituencies' if vou will Hart said. "You have to be sensitive to the studen t body, the athletic staff, the media, the alumni, the athletes the list goes on and on. Harthas worked intheathietic department since 13 and was named to his current position in 1987. During his tenure, Hart has maderevolutionary improvements to the depart- ment. He has been instru- mental in the implementa- tion of a Student Development program for all studentathletes at ECU, has fa- cilitated im- provements to Ficklen Sta- dium and Minges Coli- seum through fundraising ventures, and has worked tirelessly to promote the ECU athletic programs to major conferences, most notably the Big East. "We have spent a lot of time and energy with the Big East Hart said. "We have done a great many things to represent ourselves in a very professional manner to that affiliation and I would say that we have earned their respect Hart said that he feels his de- partment has been very successful Dave Hart despite the adversity the school facesasa football independent with a budget dwarfed by other pro- grams. Hart said that while he is extremely proud of the work his department has done, things much change in order for the pro- gram to continue its success in the future. "We can't continue to com- pete with the cur- rent level of fund- ing we have now. Our athletic bud- get is about 2 per- centofwhatother budgets are. We have been very fortunate that we have been so successful with the amount we have spent. We can't continue to pull rabbits out of the hat Hart is optimistic about the changes already being imple- mented at the university, but par- ticularly those called for in the Shared Visions campaign. This massive fundraising venture will provide capital for expansions to Ficklen Stadium and Minges Coli- seum, as well as construction of a top-notch student recreation cen- ter. These changes will prove very attractive to incoming recruits as well as athletic conferences. Hart said that this campaign is vital to the athletic program as well as the rest of the university. "Shared Visions will be the most important thing to happen to this university since the medical school Hart said. Hart said that the Pirate club, the major source of alumni contri- bution to the university, must double its membership over the next two years, a difficult proposi- tion, but one Hart has faith in. Hart believes thatdespite the pessimism of outside forces, the alumni will come through. "ECU alumni have a quali ty of being battlers. We have been cast in the role of the underdog. You al- ways have people who say things can'tbedone. Those peopleneed to get out of the way and make room for the people whoaredoing them Hart said that like any other job, his has its frustrations, particu- larly the slow pace at which things take place because of funding, but the rewards he has seen far out- weigh the disappointments.

(AP) � Dale Earnhardt's victory in Saturday's Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway has put the five-time national champion 251 pointsahead of hisnearest com- petitor in the NASCAR Winston Cup standings. "There is so much that can happen from week to week that 251 points may be the margin we need to make up for any bad luck we mighthave later on. We're only halfway through the season right now said Earnhardt, whose vic- tory Saturday was hisfourth of the year. The margin is wide enough that Earnhardt could finish last in Sunday's Slick 50 300 at Loudon, N.H and still be assured of no less than a 103-point lead in the stand- ings. In fact, 251 points is the differ- ence between second-place Dale Jarrett and llth-place Geoff Bodine after the first 15 races of the 30- event season. Second-place Jarrett has 2,091 points, while Rusty Wallace is third with l,997.MorganShepherd holds fourth with 1,991 points and Ken Schrader is fifth with 1,977. Rounding out the top 10 are: Kyle Petty, 1946; Davey Allison, 1934; Jeff Gordon, 1905; Ernie Irvan, 1889, and Mark Martin, 1873. Earnhardt easily leads the cir- cuit in earnings with $1,080315. Second-place Ernie Irvan has won $671,075. Pole qualifying is scheduled Friday at New Hampshire Interna- tional Raceway. Sunday's race will be the first for the NASCAR Winston Cup teams at the speedway, which is 60 miles north of Boston.

(AP) � Monica Seles is making a slow, steady recovery from a stab wound in the back, but isn't sure when she will return to tennis or if she will be able to defend her U.S. Open title next month. "She's continuing her reha- bilitation, and there's no real ef- fective way to anticipate when she'll be ready to play again Stephanie Tolleson, Seles' agent, said. "She wants to be out on the court, so that's obviously frus- trating. "But she's hanging in there and working very hard, trying to get healed so she can get back to playing Seles was ranked No. 1 in the world when she was stabbed April 30 during a tournament at Hamburg, Germany. Later, the knife-wielding German said he was a Steffi Graf fan who wanted" to knock Seles out of the No. 1 spot. Since then, Graf has taken over the No. 1 ranking. Seles has been undergoing rehabilitation at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic here. In a statement Friday, her doctors said: "Her shoulder con- tinues to improve regarding mo- tion and strength, and her im- provement is monitored on a daily basis They said there is no time- table in her rehab program, add- ing that her shoulder "will let her know when she will be able to return to competition Allison dies after crash CHARLOTTE (AP) � Davey Allison died this morn- ing of injuries he suffered when a helicopter he was pi- loting crashed in the infield at Talladega Superspeedway. The 32-year-old Allison died at approximately 7:30 a.m CDT, according to a woman who answered the phone at Robert Yates Racing in Charlotte. Allison was born on Feb. 25, 1961. After watching his father and uncle race on the Winston Cup circuit, the younger Allison made his de- but in 1985, finishing tenth in the Talladega 500. Two years later, Allison's performance was good enough to earn him rookie of the year honors. He started that year by earning the out- side pole for the 1987 Daytona 500, the youngest driver ever to gain that dis- tinction, and he closed the year among the top 25 driv- ers in the point standings. In his 14th start on the Winston Cup circuit, Allison won the Winston 500. That made him the youngest driver to take a checkered flag since Ron Bouchard cap- tured the 1981 Talladega 500. Of his 22 starts in 1987, Allison got two victories, nine top five finishes and ten finishes in the top 10. Allison captured five rac- ing victories in 1991 and 1992. His only victory this year came at Richmond, and he took third in last weekend's Slick 50 300 in New Hamp- shire.

The major-league pro teams are out of reach for us Miles Wolff, former owner of the Durham Bulls and owner of the RaleighlceOpsprokshockeyteam, concurs. "What we have is what we're going to have in the area. We are at a top tier in college sports and at the middle tier in professional sports.
