By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor ECU's Interfraternity Council (IFC) judicial board handed down several disciplin- ary rulings to the Pi Kappa Al- pha fraternity Tuesday night. The board listened to witnesses and "PIKA" representatives and reviewed videotape of the Ficklen Stadium fight that oc- curred d uring the ECU-Syracuse game on Sept. 9. ECU officials determined early last week that ECU's Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity was not involved in the fight, and they were released from any responsibility, said IFC execu- tive vice-president Noland Mat- tocks. "After Dean Speier's in- vestigation, it was his determi- nation, after reviewing film, and talking to people that Sigma Tau Gamma was not involved, except as victims said assis- tant dean of students Dr. Michael Schardein. "We were not involved in the fighting said Chad Bornstein, vice president of fi- nance for Sigma Tau Gamma. "It was not a fra ternity-against- fraternity fight. It was non- Greeks in a Greek section According to Mattocks, several individuals were seated in a section reserved specifi- cally for Pi Kappa Alpha frater- nity members. Anthony Andujar, president of PIKA, confronted the individuals, and a fight ensued. The IFC met Tuesday night not to determine who threw the first punch, Mattocks said, but to determine the in- volvement of Pi Kappa Alpha members. "We had to determine whether this was a group mat- ter which would bring disci- plinary action against the en- tire fraternity, "or whether it was just individuals involved in the fighting Mattocks said. "We do not deal with individu- als The IFC judicial board, consisting of four fraternity presidents and Schardein, de- termined that the fraternity did act as a group, Mattocks said. Fraternities are brought up for judicial action i they are involved with conduct that brings discredit to the univer- sity andor the fraternity sys- tem Mattocks said. "Once you join a frater- nity he said, "you don't just represent yourself, you repre- sent the entire fraternity in all that you do. "In the board'seyes, there were more people doing wrong Nigerian civilians hold key to politics By Jason Williams of the conflicts in West Africa ? ?? the seriousness of the people doing wrong outweighed the few individuals that were try- ing to stop the fighting After lengthy delibera- tion, the IFC judicial board came up with six disciplinary measures to be followed by the PIKA fraternity for the remain- der of the fall '93 semester. In an effort to curtail fu- ture incidents, IFC asked the PIKAs to sponsor a speaker on alcohol awareness, to which Mattocks hopes all ECU orga- nizations will be invited. "We need to learn to drink responsibly Mattocks said. "We need to teach that violence is not the answer, and that you are accountable for your own actions Pi Kappa Alpha was also fined $250, which will be do- nated to Greeks Advocating - Mature Management of Alco- hol (GAMMA). The PIKAs will not be al- lowed to tailgate at the next three home football games re- maining this semester, Mat- tocks said, and they will clean up the areas where people tail- gate after those three home games, if ECU agrees to this arrangement. For the rest of this semes- ter, the PIKAs will be on social probation, which Mattocks de- scribed as a restriction from holding any formal parties to which a sorority is formally invited. However, the PIKAs will be allowed to participate in Homecoming, Mattocks said. Finally, the Pi Kappa Al- pha fraternity is restricted from intramurals. "The PIKAs are a very strong fraternity on this cam- pus Mattocks said. "We're not trying to close down this fraternity, but they con- ducted themselves wrongly they'll think next time "I feel that a fraternity needs to be responsible for its fraternity members at a group function Schandeir said. "The. decision of the board was a decision of PIKA's peers. I think they rendered a fair and very ap- propriate decision you can't be involved in this type of behavior "I appreciate the IFC making a thorough investi- gation into this matter, and taking a stance on this, which should send the message to other Greeks that such inap- propriate behavior will not be tolerated said Ronald See IFC page 3 Byjason Williams Staff Write7 ECU received a progress re- port Tuesday on the political situ- ation in Nigeria from a man who has experienced it first hand. Dr. Oyediran Oyeleye, a former pro- fessor of international studies at ECU, gave a lecture entitled "Po- litical Brinkmanship, Nigerian Style Oyeleye began his speech by attributing his topic to his work at the Brooklyn Institute, where he has been studying the nature of the conflicts in West Africa. He attributed the rise in con- flict to four factors: (1) unequal distribution of resources, (2) dif- ferential access to power, (3) com- peting definitions of what is just, what is right and what is fair and (4) the push and pull of different identities such as religion, ethnicity and class. "These fac- tors can give rise to conflict within communities, within states, within nations and among na- tions Oyeleye said. "The proposition I want to explore is this: When the political leadership of a nation is in the hands of civilians, whatever the nature of the conflict, the likeli- hood is that when the situation gets to the brink, the citizens will know how to compromise and move away from the brink Oyeleye said. "Where the mili- tary occupies political power, they move closer to the brink and create a bigger crisis Oyeleye said that since the British ended their colonial occu- pation in 1950, Nigerian politics has been dominated by tour ma- jor national conflicts, all demon- strating his original proposition. First came the constitutional crisis of 1951. "The essence of the constitution of 1951 was to give Nigerians the right to take part in the legislative arm of the govern- ment he said. At this time a deep division between political parties in the northern and southern regions of the nation dominated the popu- lar assembly.

Group ticket plans for the remainder of the 1993 East Carolina University football sea- son ha ve been determined, f ollow- ing discussions with the Division of Student Life and the ECU Ath- letics Department. Group ticket pick-up privi- leges will be reinstated for the re- maining three games on the sched- ule. However, all seating in the student sections, will remain gen- eral admission by section in the Sections 12-17, as was done for the Central Florida game on Sept. 18. This plan allows students privilege to submit group lists in the same manner as previously done on Mondays of home game weekends and pick-up tickets on Wednesday of that week. If stu- dents want tosit together they must arrive to the desired seats in the stadium together. There will be no saving of blocks of seats. School officials were pleased with the proper utilization of game entrances, aisle ways and seating areas during the Central Florida game. For the remainder of the games, students are encouraged toarriveearlyand utilize the games designed for student entry (Gates 5,5A, 6 and 1) to avoid long lines upon entering the stadium. Gates at Ficklen Stadium open two hours before kickoff. This will also assist in avoiding congestion on stair- ways and aisle ways.

The program, called "The Big Idea is designed to encourage college students to get in volved in the short-term com- munity service projects. COOL is pro viding the grant ad- ministration and technical assis- tance, and the Jostens Founda- tion is providing funding. Jostens Founda tion Manager Mary Leonard said they are providing these funds be- cause, "We be- lieve that college students hold the key to revitalizing the nation's focus on grass- roots volunteerism, and we think it's important to give the students access to the funding that will help them transform their ideas into actions COOL's executive direc- tor Kristin Parrish said, "We're excited about this partnership with Jostens because COOL is committed to creating oppor- tunities which support stu- dent social entrepreneurship through training and techni- cal assistance The 10 winning students, collaboration with the in greater community, will de- vise an innovative project that displays a sensitivity to cultural differences, could be replicated in other campus communities, involves other students, and shows a clear connection to major and ca- reer objectives. A completed application must include a cover sheet summariz- ing your "big idea" in 200 words or less, a project description and time-line, an in- dividual learning plan explaining how the project re- lates to your major and three ways you will judge the success of your project, an esti- mated budget and a letter of support from a commu- nity or school of- ficial. Because students are re- rT?,r quired to tie their projects to their career objectives, partici- pants will gain valuable work and life experience that may help in the job market, as well as helping their com- munities.

A courttry-and-western dance class instructor created a brouhaha by telling a University of New Mexico stu 'lent that the school had a policv that women can't dance with other women in the class. The class, which attracted manv women, was offered by the physical education department for one credit with the intent to teach students how to dance in social situations, according to the Daily hobo, the school newspaper. The instructor, Jim Calvert, made the comment to graduate student Jn Cornell. He later said he did not intend to discriminate, but wanted to keep the ratio of men and women even so traditional roles could be practiced in the classroom.

However, being located on the border of the Brewery and the rest of Beersborough, it had an odd mix of students that came into these hal- lowed halls. And an even odder mix of professors. As I walked through the cen- tral campus mall, I got mv fair share of long looks and stares from the others on campus. Guess thev don't see a lot of guys walking around wearing a trenchcoat and fedora in the middle of September nowadays. At least not at EBU, where Septem- ber is usually hotter than anv hell the Devil could create. I was headed to west campus, where I hoped to get some clearer answers than the ones the Guru had given me. I didn't think it would be too much of a problem; I was going to the guy who was sup- posed to know all the answers, wasn't I? The Professor. I walked into the Professor's second-story office, not stopping to admire the decor or listen to the secretary who was trying to stop me. As I stepped into his office, he stood up from his desk and ex- tended his hand. "Mister Ham- mered, what can I help you with?" he said, confirming his reputation of knowing everyone who came on this campus. "Just a little matter, shouldn't take too much of your time I shook his hand and sat down before he could get a chance to come from behind his desk. The Professor had an annoying habit of standing too close to people when he talked to them. Guess it had something to do with his height. He sat down behind his desk and laced his fingers together. The fluorescent light reflected off his glasses and cropped head of gray hair, doing nothing to hide the shrewd way he looked at you. "Come to talk to me about Al Cohol, haven't you? Well, it's about time. Anyone in the Brewery should have The Brewery. A place where dreams are made and unmade, lives are turned upside down and a drink is a drink.

Fearing defeat, Northern leaders wanted to split the coun- try into two parts, but the British intervened and mediated talk be- tween the sides that eventually led to Nigerian unity. "I'm sug- gesting it was possible to come to a compromise only because civil- ian politicians were in charge Oyeleyesaid. Oyeleye called the second crisis the federal election crisis of 1964-5. The first true election in Nigeria was held in December of 1959, and again the participants were from the North and the South. "The election was looked at as a way of rescue from the North- ern leaders because there were more people in the other regions. The North disputed the census, however, and commissioned an- other one which allowed them to win Oyeleye said. As a result the president re- fused tocall on the Northern lead- ers to form a government. Oyeleye cited political pressure frombusi- TICKETS ness and religious leaders who rose to power, plunging the na- tion into civil war. "The civil war lasted 3D long and terrible months, and millions of Nigerians lost their lives. The fact that military leaders would not compromise led us to a civil war. They know nothing about compromise Oyeleye said. Oyeleyedated the fourth cri- sis from June 12, 1993, to the present. A disputed election left the Nigerian government in anar- chy and a general strike, but the trade unions paralyzed the economy. "In Juneelections were held, and they were the cleanest, free- est elections ever held in Nigeria. For the first time in history a South- erner had been elected President of Nigeria Oyeleye said. The ruling party of the North annulled the elections on June 23 and called for new elections the next month. Ironically, Oyeleye said the refusal by the U.S. government to accept the results of the elections, announced on June 1 I, made the elections possible. " It helped a lot. In fact we wouldn't have even had and election. The military govern- ment would havecontinued with- out an election "Right now we don't have a government. We have people who occupy positions. But effectively, we don't have a government Oyeleyesaid. Oyeleye concluded on a positive note. "The elections helped us a lot in the fight for democracy in Nigeria.

ECU is building a new Student Recreation Center. Kinda says a lot about how much stock Americans put into relaxing, doesn't it? What- ever happened to just going outside, or to the country, and simply taking a day off? Noooo, we're so technologically advanced that we spend millions of dollars on the fine art of unwinding. There are (as alwavs) more than a few things about this center that just aren't right. Let's go through them, shall we? Most important of all is the fact that the center will cause an increase in student fees by $75 to $100 per semesteror the next 30 year. This is per student, per semester for the next 30 years. For this kind of money the darn thing better be paved with gold and the walls bedecked with Dali origi- nals. The amount of money that will be spent on this thing is just sickening. And why is it that this same money couldn't go towards the refurbishment of Jovner Library? Why must we vote on bond money towards an establishment that is crucial to our advancement as students and we're expected to pay for a build- ing that most of us will never use (opening is set at fall '95)? "For the good of the university thev keep telling us. Well, are you just going to sit there and take that? This same rec center fee will go into effect as of this spring semester, 1994. So next semester, on your ever-sky-rocketing tuition bill, you andor your parents will be gazing upon an absurdly increased student fee. Welcome to bureaucracy. The Student Rec Center was decided on and passed into law by people you don't even know (and done very quietly, too). And thev actually expect us to be happy! Sure, we hear about the ills of Jovner for years, but?surprise!? a new rec center, and we're supposed to get down on all fours and thank the administration. Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs, says the center is one of the top in the country like our students deserve Well, thank you Mr. Brown, but don't you think we deserve a decent library, too? This is not to say that it won't help the university to have a new rec center. Obviously, since one of the top five things a gradua ting senior looks for in a college is its sports facilities, this can be helpful with recruitment and selectivity. Eut in the age of empty promises and hollow ideas, ECU decides to build an aesthetically pleas- ing structure that will do just that?look nice. It doesn't house new periodicals or journals, it doesn't have office space for new teachers and it certainly doesn't have classroom space to handle the influx of new students. But, hey, it's got squash courts! And in the end, isn't that what's impor- tant? Nevermind about classes and the real rea- son that we're here at ECU (to learn, you fool). What we have is a nice place to take our minds off things. To top it all off, this dandy of a building will sit smack dab on top of the parking lot between Mendenhall Student Center and Green Dorm.

I just finished re .id ing an adrticle in the Tuesday, Sept. 14 East Carolinian about the Miss North Carolina USA Pageant and m v suspicions have been con- firmed: beauty pageants, no mat- ter how much they may insist oth- erwise, rate women by the same- meat market standards that come into plav at the Elbo. At least at the Elbo, after a guv sizes up a poten- tial "babe he'll probablv give her the chance to speak. She'll prob- ably talk about something appro- priate, like how drunk she is, be- cause one night stands don't re- quire in depth comersation. Nei- ther does the Miss North Carolina USA Pageant. Here's the criteria if you're interested: delegates must fall be- tween the ages of 18 and 27, must be single, must never have been married and never have had chil- dren. After all, how could a mar- ried woman or a woman whose body has been "deformed" in child birth have anything left to offer? I mean, puh-lease. Furthermore, competition will be judged on the contestant's appearance in evening gown and swim suit and no per- forming talent is required. Talent, I imagine, takes away from the useless beauty that this pageant seems to idolize. Or maybe talents became too difficult to perform on-stage in front of an audience Suppose, for example, that a young woman's talent is brain surgery When, you may ask, are women going to be awarded tor their real mental and intellectual talents? It appears that beauty pageants represent a circular sys- tem: men exploit women by rat- ing their chest sizes, long legs, etc women let men exploit them bv entering these pageants, so men continue to exploit womenin other words, as long as women participate in beauty pageants, we are trapped in a system where women are valued for their looks. But dare to think what would hap- pen if women refused to enter! Sure, it would have to go deeper than beauty pageants. Women would also have to give up those other professions that require them to sell their bodies in some capacity or other (topless dancing, modeling, prostitution) and give up the scholarship money that is awarded to pageant win- nets i his could be hard for a lot of women to do but battles for equal- ity have never been easy and I never promised you a rose gar- den. It society is willing to dole out cash to women in return for their bodies, maybe if women re- fused tosell thiscommoditv,soci- ety would discover that there are other things that women possess that are equally valuable to it. Per- haps these would be things that society would be willing to help cultivate. In case I've lost vou, let me offer a sports analog. Beauty pag- eant winners are like football he- roes: thev both cultivate a physi- cal talent and eventually they age out of their "professions They are different in that the football player's career lasts longer and he'll be remembered by has fans after he has retired. For the rest of her life, a beauty queen will re- member that she once epitomized society's ever-changing standard of beauty and that she was valued for that beautyonce upon a time. It would almost be better, I think, not to win. At least that way you wouldn't be as devas- tated when you realized that you'd never again be able to live up to the standards that made you Miss North Carolina or Miss Idaho. I don't know for sure, but I would bet that there is more than one bitter Miss Ex-this or Miss Ex-that out there. Incidentally, the only pag- eant winner that I remember is Vanessa Williams-the first black woman to win the Miss America title. She had to give up her crown after someone blabbed that she had once posed nude in Playboy Magazine. The Miss America people thought that it was really sordid of her to sell herself that way. Her case may- have been one of outright rac- ism, but I think that it probably had more to do with property rights. After all, pimps tend to punish unfaithful employees that seek similar employment elsewhere. c?2H?In? 5HE comE H5. AMERICA d UM, SINCE m like M?- AMSrZICA JOaJjTHAT frOESNT AlEN V?

By Stacy Van Peterson Listening to others can also benefit you Rubbing the condensation from my glass of iced tea onto my dark blue pant leg, I sat beside my grandparents in the living room. It was my grandfather's birthday-gathering and everyone was busy with the hustle of being the host and gossiper. The young people were outside, our parents clean- ing the table, and I sat discussingwon- dering who in fact made the best black walnut cake. Call me insecure, call me John- Boy, but people today do not care about each other. If the 80s represented the "Me" generation, then the 90s repre- sents the "Screw You" generation. Ever since I was old enough to spell "tea my grandfather has made it at all of the family gatherings. Whether or not the tea is the best in the Western Hemisphere or the tea was his way of helping is not important, but that tea was always there. The day before his birthday- gathering, my grandfather tried to make the tea, but ended up breaking down and crying because he was really con- fused and could not think straight. You can never know what the person beside you is going through. The black walnut cake conver- sation changed to college, the good ol' days and the blue sky outside. Within one hour, my grandfather and I were outside with the "young folks laugh- ing and acting like we were both 15- years-old again. Whether that black wal- nut cake conversation helped my grand- father feel good and forget a little about all the problems, I will probably never know. However I do know that I felt so good that I was singing Pamolive praises as 1 helped with the dishes. On the way back to Greenville that night I almost felt selfish for feeling so good about helping some one. I guess that is because I never really take time to listen to people. I could visit my grandparents more often, I could spend less time worring about my problems and more time helping with a friend's problems. The next time you get a chance, try showing some concern to someone close to you, and note their reaction. I suppose that our generation has accepted that we will make less than our parents, have to deal with overpopulation, violence, the environ- ment and a terrible economy, and as a society, built up enough strain and an- ger to hide emotions and feelings. I challenge you, the reader, to go up to a total stranger today at 3:03, hug them and tell them that you are glad that they are alive. The condesation from the glass of tea dried on my pants in no time. I leaned back in the reclinerand decided that mygrandfatru r's tea is better than any black walnut cake. After all, it was always there. ???-? HIT i? ?? ?1 ?P llO ??

The 56-year-old actor, best known to even the most casual of television fans as 11. Comm. Pavel Chekov from theoriginal "Star Trek is hard at work in three different media. Besides television and the- atre roles, Koenig is currently writ- ings comic Lxxik of hisovvn creation. lovvever, his schedule was recently put on hold by a heart attack. His appearance this Saturday at the Star Trekconvention will be his firstsince taking ill. In an exclusive interview via telephone, Koenig talked about his recent 11 ndertakings and life after the Enterprise. Bom in Chicago to Lithuanian parents, Koenig grew up in New York. He received his B A in Psychol- ogy from UCLA and went back to New York for two years where he worked on-stage. He then wentback to L.A. and worked on "probably eight ornine, maybea dozen shows" before being cast as Chekov. When asked how "Star Treks popularity affected hiscareer, Koenig responded, "I don't know. It cer- tainly had a deleterious effect. It was difficult to find work because I was known so strongly in the role. There's two states in economics: recession and depression. Well, here there's alwaysadepression.

He has begun work on the futuristic "Babylon 5 "It starts in November. Hope- fully, it will be a recurring role When asked if fans of "Star Trek" may not accept the actors working in other roles, Koenig answered, "I think the industry has a false impression. Babylon 5 will be a good test of that. I get to play a heavy and the fans will get to decide how well I do Television isn't the only avenue Koenig is utilizing. He recently worked with Mark Lenard (who played Sarek,Spock'sfather)on-stage in a play called "Boys In Autumn" that has garnered "tremendous re- sponse" on college campuses.

You've been caught in a crossfire for two minutes now, and you're run- ning dangerously low on ammuni- tion. Suddenly, you think you see someone moving a few dozen yards away. Or is that just a tree branch swaying in the wind? Moments later, your fears be- come realities as you hear your enemy's gun fire. You reach down to your leg after the shot has hit its target. You grimace as you realize your enemy has won. Don'tworry,folks. The town isn't under attack by some insane aggres- sors. "The Emerald City" is, how- ever, under assault by an exciting, fast-paced and visual sport that's a unique experience to the area. Greenville, say hello to Pirate Paintball.

To get things started, give Paul a callathLofficetosetupa reservation. Paintball sessions currently run on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from2p.m. to6p.m.Sundaysessions are also available from 2 until 6 in the afternoon Weekday sessions can be arranged for groups. All hours of operation will change next month to accommodate daylight savings hours. A deposit and admission fee are required in advance. Prices vary, so be on the lookout for special coupon discounts as well as group rates. Fees cover your rental equipment, which includes your Tracer pump shotgun, face mask and a tank of air (the guns operate by C02 tanks). Paintball prices range from $6 to $10 per 100 rounds, depending on the numberof rounds you buy. And you decide at the park just how many rounds you'll need to keep going. Shaw recommends that you plan on firingbetween 300 to 500 rounds dur- ing a session. After you set up your playing date and time, start preparing for a wild four hours. Be sure to wear long pants, preferably camouflage or jeans (remember, you'll be in the woods). Dress in dark-colored clothing to make yourself a less easy target, and GQGLbGnQG Graphic courtesy of Pirate Paintball Take a day off from hectic college life and have a day of fun in the woods with Pirate paintball. They provide the guns and you purchase the paint. try to cover as much skin as possible. High-top shoes or boots are the best bet for footwear, and keep in mind that you will get dirty!

"We're going to make sure everything is or- ganized In addition to service, the Pirate Paintball team really stresses safety. Shaw said that, according to the Na- tional Safety Council, paintball is ac- tually safer per 1000 injuries than such seemingly harmless sports as golf, bowlingand tennis. The referees make sure that you keep your face mask on at all times, and plenty of water is on hand to keep you from getting overheated or dehydrated.

The exhibit is part of the Cul- tural Awareness Week events at ECU. The husband and wife artists, Wenhai Ma and Shu-Ching Ma are well known and have experience in a variety of areas. The exhibit will range from watercolor illustrations from children's magazines and books to still lifes. This exhibit should be sensa- tional since both artists have re- nowned reputations in the field or art.

One of the major surprises was tha t Dylan opened the show. It seemed to be the consensus among most members of the au- dience that he was the head liner. Dylan started his first set with an extended version of "Stuck Inside of Mobile With a Memphis Blues Again Then he played an incredibly moving version of "All Along the Watch Tower" which lasted about fif- teen minutes. His performance was pre- dominantly electric but he also played four acoustic tracks. Though his band was a lot heavier than expected, they were very tight and they comple- mented him well. The perfoi .nance reached a climax when he played "Maggie'sFarm" toward theend. In fact, it signified the height of his enthusiasm throughout the show. Dylan ended with "It's Not Me Babe" as one of his encore songs. He then walked off stage quietly, and he didn't say a word to the crowd during the entire show. Santana created a very elaborate setting. When he first came out on stage, he told the audience about a vision he had pertaining to world peace and unity. Soon after this, he dedicated a song about Heaven and the afterlife to Arthur Ashe. Santana's entire band ex- hibited incredible individual musical talent. The show seemed designed to spotlight each member of the band indi- vidually many times during the show. There were numerous drum solos a couple of bass so- los, and, of course, Carlos Santana had many opportuni- ties to play lengthy guitar solos. At times it seemed as if there was no real format. Band mem- bers were playing as hard and fast as they could and they suc- ceeded because the music came together. One of the major themes throughout the concert was one of cultural unity. Every mem- ber of his band was from a dif- ferent ethnic background, and every member was able to re- flect an individual, independent style. Strangely enough, the crowd started shrinking about two-thirds through the show, right after Santana played "Oye ComoVa This surprising disappear- ance of people was somewhat puzzling. There is no way fans could have left this show unsat- isfied. Staff music featured Staff Reports The East Carolinian Saxophonist Brad Foley of the East Carolina University School of Music faculty will be featured in a faculty recital, "Saxophone in Chamber Music scheduled for ECU'S Fletcher Music Center Recital Hall Thurs- day, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. Foley will be assisted by fac- ulty soprano, Louise Toppin; marimbist, Mark Ford; and pia- nist, John O'Brian as well as two quintets from the School of Mu- sic: the East Carolina Brass and the Coastal Winds Quintet.

West Page 9 By Roberts. Todd Sports Editor ECU qu.irterlvickChris Hester wilL undoubtedly, be under-esti- mated by Washington's "Purple Reign" defense and he should be able to use that to his advantage. The past two games have dis- played, perhaps, the most conser- vative offensive approach seen in the Steve Logan era. Disabled quar- terback Marcus Crandell rarely went deep, likewise Hester. This approach may find additional suc- cess in Seattle, especially if Hester can find Jerris McPhail over the middle with short passes. McPhail has yet to be unleashed and this may be the way to do it ? a la Roger Craig, late of the San Fransico 49ers. McPhail has the speed to turn those short passes into long gains. However, a young Washing- ton backfield may be open for an occasional deep throw from Hester. Hanker Morris Letcher, one of the toughest players on the team, is not likely to be intimidated by UW's rookie defensive backs. If his leg, injured last week against Central Florida, is ready by game time, ex- pect Hester to find him deep. Coming off of a loss, the Hus- kies might be looking to take out their frustrations on ECU. They were on the verge of replacing Mi- ami as the elite program for the '90s. Now, Head Coach Don James is gone, along with their image as a model program because of NCAA sanctions. When quarterback Billy Joe Hobert was suspended last year for accepting illegal loans totaling $50,000, Washington was unde- feated and No. 1 in the country. The program was shocked and lost two of their last tliree games ? and their 22-game winning streak. They ended the season with a 38-31 loss to Michigan in the Rose Bowl and a final ranking of 12th in the polls. Despite their troubles, they again field one of the best teams in the country. Their offense is still tremendous but their defense is weakened from last seasons' losses. Running backs Beno Bryant and Napoleon Kaufman may be the best backfield in the natioh. Helping them move along is an experienced line, although the loss of two-time All-American tackle Lincoln Kennedy (drafted 9th overall by the Atlanta Falcons) will hurt. As a sophomore, Kaufman rushed for over 1,000 yards and averaged 6.5 yards per carry. Bryant missed nearly all of 1992 after helping the Huskies to their See Pirates page 10 Photo courtesy of SID Lady Pirate SOCCer Garten born to play team wins opener By Chip Hudson Staff Writer" TheECUWomen'sSoccerClub began its Fall 1993 season with an impressive win over Jacksonville Unidas on Sunday behind the Al- lied Health Building. The program is among the most successful on campus, and the fan turnout for this scrirnrnagegamewas fantastic. ECU survived a couple of early scares as shots from Jacksonville rang off of theposts just minutes into the game. The game formatwas changed from two 45 minute halves to three 30 minute periods to allow the ECU team to get all of the record 36 play- ers into the match. 19 minutes into the first period, ECU sophomore fullback netted a rebound from a comer kick taken by Amy Warren forherfirstcareergoalatECU. This was the only tally of the first period. In the second period, the Lady Pirates took the opportunity to look at a number of the rookie players that have joined the squad this season. FreshmanShariTomasetti narrowly missed a scoring oppor- tunity 16 minutes into this session. The ECU defense repeatedly turned back theUnidasattack with strongplaybyMaureenCorcoran, Margaret Richards and goalie Nancy Johnson. At the end of the second period, ECU still led 1-0. Early in the third period, a Jacksonville player lofted a shot just over the outstretched finger- tips of ECU keeper Susan Mower totiethegameatl-1. Thatreallylit a fire under the Lady Pirates, as they went on an offensive ram- page. First,halfbackJennieHaines rifled a shot past the goalkeeper to put ECU up 2-1. Just four minutes later, forward Toni DeRose fin- ished off a three-on-two counter- attack for a 3-1 lead.

Con- tinuing a family tradition, Garten is the number one seed, as well as cap- tain, for ECU's Women's Tennis Team.

Despite ECU, 3-5, jumping out to an early 1-0 lead on sopho- more Marc Mullin's first goal of the season, VCU had the Pirates on their heels. VCU outshot ECU 19-to-7. In the first half, the Pirates displayed some spectacular de- fense, stopping the Rams' attack- ers on many good scoring oppor- tunities.

Bezborodov tied the game at one after he slid the ball just by ECU goalie Bryan DeWeese on an assist from Rams forward, Chris Barnard.

Another frosh QB for Bucs By Brian Cunningham Staff Writer When ECU faced off against nationally ranked Syra- cuse on Sept. 9, no single player felt mote pressure or had more responsibility placed upon him than red-shirt freshman quar- terback Marcus Crandell. Pi- rate Head Coach Steve Logan repeatedly insisted thathis man was more than capable of earn- ing a passing grade and, thus far, he had. Now it is Chris Hester's turn. The fellow redshirt re- sponded spectacularly. At one point, he completed seven straight passes in a row during a stretch in the third quarter. As is the case on any level of football, however, depth is al- ways a top priority. Logan, who was visibly shaken up follow- ing the game, assessed Hester's strengths and weaknesses. "111 have to shift gears with Chris Logan said. "He has great leadership and character- istics, but his mobility concerns me Not only does Hester's mo- bility concern Logan, but so does the thumb on his throw- ing hand. "1 hat thumb is only 65-70 percent said Logan. "He's playing on guts, because that thumb's not ready Despite Logan's concerns, Hester said at a post-game press conference that his thumb was feeling grea t.
