Minority cultural center expands services
, . ii4n ak;io avritvA ahnnt the wav UNC handled its fac
By Warren Sumner
Assistant New Editor
ECU students will soon
have a new place to express and
learn about minority cultures
when the Ledonia Wright Afro-
American Center moves to the
Bloxton House across from the
Mendenhall Student Center.
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'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.

Women
outnumber
men at ECU
By Molly Perkins
Staff Writer
Male ECU students are in
luck this summer. 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

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. "We are here to support
the academic endeavors of the

The radio host dubs the caller

gets its title.
The woman, Annie(Meg Ryan),

thoughstableand secure, possesses
no emotional depth. Annie feels

deeply about her and cares deeply
about his son like Annie, the viewer
can virtually feel Sam's pain.
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-

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-

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-

Deborah Kerr. (Miss Kerr's spel ling
is correct so that when the con ver-

the actress was Deborah "Carr or

In An Affair to Remember, about

When Kerr gets hit by a taxi, she
cannot make it, and Grant is too
proud to find out why. Though ev-

'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

audience knows they are witnessing

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

Fox, Lauper make comeback in Mikey
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
Michael J. 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.

tween star and cha racter p irtend an

nanages to create a well-rounded
screen persona. 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.

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.

well as on the faces of the entire
film crew. By letting the audience

'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

Today: Dietaty Fat
Answered by Jennifer Phillips, Student Health Services
a
Question:
Lately, everyone has been
making such a big deal about fat
grams. 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.

Cultural center to open
Riding the Mobius
By Jason Tremblay
Swimsuit wearers beware of mirrored sunglasses
Multicultural center will offer
insight into numerous
backgrounds and nationalities
Two decades ago, most people had probably
never heard of multiculturalism, or cared to know
about it for that matter. 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.

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-
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.
Now stop reading, think
about it, go get a pizza, and
watch some cartoons
Next week in Riding the Mo-
bius: violence in movies and how to

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

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?"

So I fired a couple bottle rockets at him
and he ran away.

Cultural center to open
Riding the Mobius
By Jason Tremblay
Multicultural center will offer
insight into numerous
backgrounds and nationalities
Two decades ago, most people had probably
never heard of multiculturalism, or cared to know
about it for that matter. 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.
I challenge anyone out there to provide a
reason against a multiculturalcenter. Maybe there
are a handful of narrow-minded individuals who
have equally 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.

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

able to admit it or not.

Hart remains soul of Pirates
ByWamsnSumner
Staff Writer
Ever wondered what Captain
Ahabfeltlikeclingingtothebackof
Moby Dick"
Ask Dave Hart. 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.

Earnhardt takes lead
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (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.

Seles is making a slow, steady
recovery from a stab wound in

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-

"But she's hanging in there
and working very hard, trying to
get healed so she can get back to

Seles was ranked No. 1 in the
world when she was stabbed
April 30 during a tournament at
Hamburg, Germany. Later, the

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.
Triangle loses hope
Minor leagues best bet for Raleigh,
Durham and Chapel Hill area

the Durham Bulls, theRaleigh Flyers
and the IceCaps, because even the

"We'regoirigtobedinerentfrom
Charlotte in that regard said Jim
Goodmon, owner of the Durham
Bulls baseball team and Raleigh Fly-
ers soccer club. "It just wasn't in the
cards for us. We're going to be a
college-oriented area, which is good,
and have our minor-league proper-
ties.
"We're going toCharlotte to see
the NBA and maybe the NFL, and
that's the way it is. 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.
There's nothing wrong with that
Wolff told The News & Observer of
Raleigh
There's a slight chance, Wolff
said, the NHL might look at the area
in the distant future if the league
expands and if a facility were avail-
able
"This is such a good sports mar-
ket That'sthe reason wetooka chance
on hockey he said. "If a sport is
promoted and marketed right,itwill

Steve Bryantowner of theCaro-
lina Mudcats baseball team, said the
area's chances are poor for a major-
league baseball team unless a third
major league is created.
"We're pretty limited to what
wehavenow'hesaid. "We'repretty
much known for college sports and
minor-league baseball. I don't see
that changing
The difference is more than
just size. Charlotte, the Triangle
area and Winston-Salem have
about the same populations.
"But Charlotte is less frag-
mented and because if s one com-
munity, there's cohesiveness
there Goodmon said. "They're
all working together. Charlotte isa
can-do town. And Charlotte
doesn't have the college influence

more on a goal of professional
