�fcf Vol. 68 No. 57 The East Carolinian Greenville, North Carolina 1��-�-�mmm�mmm,mmii�iii October 7,199316 Pages WZMB general manager responds to rumors ByMaureen Rich Assistant News Editor WZMB, 91.3 FM, is your col- lege radiostarion,butdoyou think it's playing what you want to hear? Beth Arthur, general manager of ECU's WZMB, plans to address this issue soon by finding out ex- actly what ECU students want to hear from their student station. If things go according to plan, a survey will target as many ECU studentsas possible. Arthurhopes the results will enable the station to provide a format that caters to a variety of interests. "We're here to serve the EC U students as a whole Arthur said. "My overall goal is to provide a service for students I don't think we'ie doing that Urban Contemporary, de fined by Arthur as "Kiss 102-type music and Country are two for- mats Arthur suggested as options to the Media Board. Botharepopu- lar formats, often fluctuating in Arbitron polls as the number one format on college campuses. Arbitron is a company that polls many different subjects, including music. Last week, the Opinion Page of The East Carolinian reported that while WZMB was possibly look- ing at a format change, Arthur had not consulted any of her co-work- ers. "I have not discussed this with the staff at WZMB because I have not finished researching the subject Arthur responded, in a letter to the editor published in Tuesday's paper. In a separate interview Arthur said she spoke with the program director of WZMB, Lee Judge,atthe very beginning of her proposal for a format change. The program director has control over the music played at the station, Arthur said. "We've made no major deci- sions, we've just discussed Arthur said, "because it's going to be a big step to make a gradual change to accommodate the stu- dents on this campus Plans for a possible format change to take place in November were mentioned at several Media Board meetingsasearlyasjune24, 1993. This prompted rumors that Arthur planned to change the for- mat regardless of survey results or WZMB staff opinions. A rumor also sproad that Arthur was telling the Media Board that WZMB was changing their format. In order to make a format change, Arthuris required to make a formal motion for the board to consider a change, said Yvonne Moye, Media Board secretary. Arthur was merely mentioning a possibility of change, Moye said, and a motion was not made. "Changing the format doesn't mean wiping out every- thing we have on the air as of now Arthur said. "That's what a lot of paple have a misconception about. They think there's going to be no more alternative, and no more reggae. "What it really means is to tighten up the programming SEXFest offers free information getting rid of some music that's been played several times that no- body particularly likes, nobody's ever heard of Arthur said. The radio station was cre- ated to make a niche for alterna- tive music, Arthur said, because there was no other station in the market playing alternative. "My feeling is that the radio station is here to serve the majority of students on campus Arthur said. "It's a student radio station, and it's funded by East Carolina Any formatchange depends on the results of an extensive sur- vey, she said. Arthur said in the past many people have expressed their dis- satisfaction with the station, and this needs to be addressed. She said that reggae, a style found to be second in popularity next to PopTop 40, may get more air play, as well as main-stream rock. Arthur emphasized that these are only possibilities. Arthurpointed outthaton campus bus shuttles, the radio dialis often setateither KISS 102 or VVHTE 103.7, not WZMB. "That tells me something she said. "A lot of people don't like change, but you have to change to keep up with the times Arthur said.

There is financial aid for everyone. Many students have often thought that if they were depen- dents of their parents and theirpar- ents had a substantial income, thev could not receive aid to help pay for college. According to Rose Mary Stelma, director of Student Finan- cial Aid, there is an option for ev- eryone. While some forms of aid are based on need, there are several types that are not. For instance, stu- dents can become part of work study programs, on and off cam- pus. Stelma believes that work studyisagreatwaytonotonlyeam money to help with expenses, but also a great way to become familiar with people and happenings around the campus. "We find that a lot of work study students feel a part of the university she said. Stelma also said that despite rumor, work study students do not have to have a minimal GPA to be considered for the programs. The first step in getting finan- cial aid is actually fillingout the free Rape play hits home for many By Ansie DeRosia Staff Writer "But I Said No a play on acquaintance rape, was performed in Mendenhall Tuesday night as part of the Sex Week activities.

"A lot of students take pride in being self-sufficient and don't apply for financial aid, because they don't want to be in debt Stelma said. Questions on the application focus on family income, assets and other family characteristics. If you are 24 years of age or older, mar- ried, a graduate student, a veteran of the armed services, have depen- dents of your own, have dead par- ents or have been removed by the courtfromyourparents'home,you have to declare yourself indepen- dent.

The maximumamountofaPellGrantis $2,300 per year. There are a variety of other small grants including the Supplemental Grant, N.C, Need- based Grant and an ECU Grant. Next, students are considered for work-study programs. See AID page 4 Staff Writer "Drive drunk in North Carolina and it's the end of the road That's the motto of the State Department of Transportation's campaign against drunk driving. On Oct. 1, however, the definition of "drunk"changed. Oct. 1 was the day that many new state laws went into effect, including one of the toughest drunk driving laws in the nation. The state lowered the legal Blood Alcohol Concentra- tion (BAC) to .08. Previously, the BAC threshold had been .10. North Carolina became the 10th state in the nation to adopt the .08 BAC level. "This is a major victory in our fight to make North Caro- lina highways safer. Drunk driv- ers are a threat not only to them- selves but to all motorists. This new lower threshold is a strong message that we are serious about reducing the threat posed by drunk drivers Governor Jim Hunt said. The Department of Trans- portation estimates that most people will have to drink one drink less to remain under the .08 threshold. The average 160- pound adult male registers about .02 BAC from each drink con- sumed an hour. Females and teenagers register higher BAC levels for the same amount of alcohol consumed. There were 75,999 DWI ar- rests in North Carolina last year and the NC Highway Patrol is predicting more in the future as a result of the new law and a The Governor's Highway Safety Initiative campaign stepped-up enforcement of seat belt and child restraint law cam- paign has begun on the ECU cam- pus and in the community. On Oct. 4, ECU campus police began a month-long program of conduct- ing seat belt "checks" throughout campus. The Governor's Highway Safety Program, the NC Depart- ment of Insurance, the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminu tration, the UNC Highway Re search Center and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety are working together to promote this safety campaign. But a key ele- ment in the success of this project is local community leaders' sup- port of the local law enforcement efforts in our country. Persons wearing their seat belts will be given incentives for their support to promote safety on the highways. Those who are not buckled-up will be ticketed and fined. Without your encourage- ment, "Click It or Ticket" will not work. With yourcooperation, stu- dents can make great strides in making our roadways safer. "Click It or Ticket" � it's the law, it saves money by prevent- ing injury, and it is the right thing to do to protect our people. greater emphasis on drunk driving. "We will increase our efforts to arrest impaired driv- ers Commander of the NC Highway Patrol Colonel R.A. Barefoot said. "Initially, the new law will probably result in more arrests because some border- line offenders have gotten off in the past. In the future, we hope the new law will reduce the number of offenses and result in safer North Carolina highways Barefoot said. In the past a .09 or .10 BAC was not always sufficient to convict a driver for a DWI without additional evidence from a patrolman that the driver was impaired. The new law means that a .08 BAC alone could Le sufficient evidence for a conviction. "This is the tool we've needed to mount an aggres- sive campaign to get drunk drivers off North Carolina roads said Joe Parker, Direc- tor of the Governor's High- way Safety Program. "Too many drivers who registered close to or at .10 BAC escaped conviction un- der the old law. Now, with the �08 threshold as the limit at which one is legally impaired, we'll have more convictions. This will also serve as a pow- erful deterrent to drinking and driving Parker hopes to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes and save lives at the same time.

But one thing the 26-vear-old Fulbright scholar wouldn't do was plav bv the rules of apartheid, and that was what led to her death Aug. 25, ironically art the hands of the people she was trying to aid, friends and colleagues said. Biehl was stabbed to death by black youths, believed to belong to the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), in what authorities believe was a racially motivated attack after she drove some fellow students to their home in Guguletu, a dangerous township in Cape Town. She was killed just two days before she planned to return to the United States. In early September, her par- ents, Peter and Linda Biehl of Newport Beach, Calif estab- lished a fund at Stanford University to honor thei r daughter's efforts. The fund will have a two-fold purpose: to provide fellowships in Africa for Stanford students to learn about southern Africa, and to provide scholarship assistance at Stanford for students from the University of the Western Cape, where Biehl was based as a Fulbright scholar. Fraternity defies ban at FSU A fraternity that was banned from Florida State Uni- versity five years ago for refusing to cooperate in the inves- tigation of a gang rape say they are defying the ban and setting up an oft-campus colony. The Pi Kappa Alpha frater- nity has announced that it will form a colony, which is the precursor to an of ficial chapter, by mid-October and wants to persuade FSU officials to allow the group on campus by behaving in an exemplary fashion, according to university spokesperson Annette Lee. The fraternity was banned from campus in 1988 for not cooperating in a police investigation of an incident in which a female student was raped in the Pi Kappa Alpha house, then dumped unconscious at another fraternity house. The fraternity applied for reinstatement this year, but it was denied when university officials discov- ered that, with the support of local alumni, the fraternity had gone underground and had continued to meet secretly. A Forum focuses on information systems Compiled by Maureen Rich. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. By Tammy Carter Stiff Writer The ECL School of Business department of decision sciences will sponsor a public forum on computers and information sys- tems on Tuesday, Oct. 12. The forum will begin at 2 p.m. in Room 12(H) of the General Classroom Building and will last until approximately 4:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public, but interested persons should register in advance. Sessions are geared prima- rily toward professionals in the business community who work with computers, people who teach computer classes on the high school and community college level and to East Carolina Univer- sity alumni. Students who are interested in meeting professionals in the computer field are more than wel- come to attend. According to Dr. Robert Schellenberger, chairman of the ECU decision sciences depart- ment, the forum sessions will in- clude information about computer tools and practices. PowerBuilder software will be demonstrated and people in- volved with the forum will dis- cuss quality in information sys- tems and classrooms. Guest speakers include Den- nisCrawford of Washington, D.C, vice-president of Computer Data Systems, Inc. Crawford will dis- cuss his ideas about how to pro- mote the quality' in information systems. Ron Mueller of Kinston and Douglas L. Lively of Research Tri- angle Tark are also featured at the forum. Mueller is vice-president of Information Systems at Hampton Industries. He will present his ideas on total quality management and its impacton information sys- tems. Lively, a systems analyst with Glaxo, Inc will demonstrate PowerBuilder, a new software package for system development. Dr. Henry Peel of the ECU School of Education will discuss the use of information systems to enhance the quality of educa- tion in the classroom. This session is intended for high school teachers.

Armed resistance collapses in capital MOSCOW (AP) � Soldiers disarmed and arrested several groups of gunmen today as vio- lent resistance to President Boris Yeltsin collapsed and the govern- ment took full control of the capi- tal. Isolated attacks by snipers were reported overnight, but there were no casualties. Yeltsin's government con- tinued to crack down on the op- position. Several mainstream Moscow newspapers appeared today with blank spots on their pages where articles had been censored and removed. But the government later today ended censorship, saying it was a tem- porary emergency step. Government troops and tanks stormed the parliament building Monday and crushed armed resistance by some 1,500 lawmakers and their supporters. Hard-liners were holed up in the building for almost two weeks after refusing Yeltsin's order to disband and hold new elections. Fighting began after hard- liners rioted Sunday in central Moscow. The battles left more than lOOdead and hundreds more wounded. Yeltsin had been locked in a power struggle with an informal alliance of Commu- nists, fascists and ultra-national- ists opposed to the scale and pace of his political and economic re- forms. Both sides had tried to oust each other during an 18-month power struggle that crippled the government. Life was returning to nor- mal in Moscow today with heavy commuter traffic headed to the city center. Tanks were pulled back from around the blackened parliament building and fewer troops were seen on the streets. Officials were considering what charges would be filed against the parliament leaders, former vice president Alexander Rutskoi and parliament speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov. The two men and other top leaders were being held in high-security pris- ons. Yeltsin continued to tighten his grip on the government. He dismissed Russia's chief prosecu- tor Valentin Stepankov, appar- ently hoping to avoid a repeat of Stepankov's botched prosecution of the plotters of the 1991 coup attempt. He also fired two pro- vincial leaders who opposed him during the crisis. The government says the crackdown on opposition is nec- essary to end the threat of vio- lence. But some Russians are con- cerned about what it could mean for the future of democracy in Russia, fearing Yeltsin may be tempted to impose his will rather than seek consensus. The Cabinet, led by Defense Minister Pavel Grachev, formally thanked some 1,300 soldiers and commandos who had pummeled the marble parliament building for 10 hours on Monday, igniting fires that blackened the top third of the building, known as the White House. "A wave of hatred and death was stopped in Moscow. The bloody rebellion was sup- pressed the Cabinet said Tues- day in a statement. Tie seeds of a political split in Russia have been uprooted. Now, creative work is needed Yeltsin's "creative work" could include living up to prom- ises to improve the economy, holding elections and convict- ing the parliament leaders who sought for more than a year to hinder him. The president, who had sped up his economic reforms even before Monday's clash, was expected to accelerate them in hopes of reviving Russia's economy, which is likely to be the key to winning future elec- tions. Yeltsin also is beholden to those who helped him, notably the military and Russia's 89 re- gions and republics, most of which backed him in the crisis and may now demand greater economic autonomy in return. Still, Yeltsin's opponents are not likely to fade. Hundreds rallied in St. Petersburg to sup- port a Russian nationalist TV commentator whose program was canceled Tuesday. "Yeltsin is a murderer the crowd chanted. EAST CAROLINIAN Chapter 6 Me and the cops didn't get along too well, especially Lt. Walker. Walker and I had had a lot of run-ins in the old days. He didn't like my attitude towards what he called "proper police procedure" and 1 didn't like what I called his "bureaucratic baby-kissing and hand-shaking So I wasn't too popular with the boys in blue. One of them hadn't given me a bad shake, though. He'd helped me out on a few cases and kept me from punching Walker's lights out even more times than that. I figured he was the only cop who would give me a straight answer about Al. So I saw Sergeant O'Dool. As I walked into the Brewery's police station, more commonly known as "The Tank O'Dool was sitting at the front desk.

I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm and his thick accent. "I need some help, O'Dool. Know anything about a guy named Al Cohol?" The second I mentioned Al's name, O'Dool clammed up quicker than lightning and mo- tioned me to follow him. As I walked into an empty office, I silently won- dered what the whole secrecy deal was about. O'Dool shut the door and sat on the edge of the desk. "Mick, you don't want to be going around talk- ing about Cohol out in public like that. Walker's got a bug up his craw ever since Cohol slipped away from him two months ago "Screw Walker. Guy couldn't find a hole in the ground unless you pointed it out to him. And then he'd probably fall in it.

Joseph P. Hoar, the commander for the region. Communications Director Mark Gearan said he did not know if Clinton would reach a decision today, but said the U.S. goal has not changed: Establish a political structure that will prevent the country from descending into chaos and starvation when U.S. troops pull out. "He met with his advisers last night and asked for options for how to best meet that objec- tive.

In the interview Tuesday in California shortly before he de- parted for Washington, Clinton said the specter of Somalis cheer- ing the death of U.S. servicemen "makes me sick and it's reprehen- sible since all the Americans ever did was go there and try to save children from starving, reopen the hospitals and the schools, and give people a safe place to sleep at night Contending that "most So- malis appreciate that, he added that "the crowd around Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid have sort of a short memory.

Twelve Americans were killed, 78 were wounded and oth- ers were missing in fighting in Mogadishu late Sunday and early Monday. The Pentagon declined to comment on reports that as many as eight Americans were being held hostage by supporters of Aidid, but one U.S. pilot was shown on a videotape being inter- rogated by his captors. It was several hours before rescue forces, which included U.S. troops, could reach soldiers pinned down and outnumbered by Somali gunmen, and there is concern that the delay � attrib- uted in part to difficulty in coordi- nating forces � could have con- tributed to American losses. Against that backdrop, more than 600 U.S. troops armed with specialized weapons and tanks were beginning to move toward Somalia. That videotape and pic- tures of dead U.S. soldiers being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu have set off intense reaction not only with Clinton, but in Congress and across the country.

That's not always the way it !s in Washington, where it now appears the much publicized $91 billion saving claimed for the Clinton health plan may turn out to be many billions less than that.

Francine Sackett is the Director. The actors were Savitri Durkee, Joel Jones, Kristin M. Kepler, Laura Kollar, Thadd McQuade and Radha Metro. Six actors with only six chairs as props recited accounts taken from actual assault vic- tims. The language was intense but realistic. The actors moved around on stage, shifting from character to character while throwing out statistics between situations. Several students were in tears during particularly graphic accounts. Other aspects were mentioned such as male rape, the useabuse of alcohol in rape and the feelingsreac- tions from the victim's lovers, friends, parents and other fam- ily members. One scene depicted the reporting of "good" rape (stranger with a weapon and a lot of evidence) versus "bad" rape (victim invited attacker over and often gets the "heshe asked for it" attitude from oth- ers). Students were shocked to hear some of the lesser-known statistics. Of women who are raped, 42 will have sex with theirattacker again. Of all rapes, 25 involve more than one at- tacker.

HOMECOMING 1993 MHMHnMffiHMHMMKHQIiHMHHflMHn NHMNM1 I The East Carolinian Paqe 6 Opinion ThursdayOpinion Somalia: defining our role Following recent unrest in Mogadishu, U.S. officials scramble to determine a clear-cut strategy What a mess. It began as a humanitarian relief effort and has culminated in bloodshed and barbarism. Tuesday's news photo of a U.S. soldier's corpse being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia has heightened the tension and concern of many Ameri- cans and those on Capital Hill. And yet, the politi- cians are wary of pulling U.S. troops just vet. There are basically four options: stav the cur- rent course; use overpowering force to find Mohamed Farrah Aidid, capture him and destroy his well- armed militia; retreat from a military role as quickly as possible and ignore problems that might follow; or step back militarily but remain in Somalia and allow U.N. negotiators to work toward political solutions. Many are leaning towards Clinton giving com- manders in Somalia all the forces they need to carry out the job of capturing Aidid. Unfortunately, even if they rid themselves of Aidid, many others can (and will) take up the reins. There are a thousand more just like him. And isn't is amazing that the former diplomat who became a Mogadishu gangster has eluded the 28,235 troops who have stalked him since June and yet, the press comes in contact with him daily? (Just a thought.) The simple fact is that the U.S. will not pull its troops out of Somalia as long as there are American captives held there. Soldiers are literally being used as human shields for this warlord bent on power. When MIA and POW cards start to be dealt, you can bet on the U.S. staying in the game until the bitter end. So recently, more than 609 fresh troops, equipped with heavy weapons and a fleet of seven helicopters, were moved in to Somalia Tuesday, with plans for up to 2,000 more. But the Pentagon is stressing that the move is not an escalation of troops. Rather it is being called a response "to an immediate need Yeah, right. Why not just call it what it is � a desperate action caused by the inability to define what exactly the Somalia policy is. The original objective � to bring food to the starving � remains as honorable as it was the first day troops arrived in December. And Americans must realize that the price of going over there was high to begin with. That's easy to forget when the initial ideal was to feed starving, innocent women and children. The question must be asked: why is Somalia's civil war a threat to international order or U.S. inter- ests? And with that posed, the UN. forces face two major problems. First they must define the terms of the mission, and secondly, they must proceed with a goal that may take years to reach � restoring order to a country that no longer wants foreign interven- tion. According to the latest AP, in an interview Tuesday with Copley newspapers, Clinton said: "It curdles the stomach of every American to see that the American soldier being drug through the itreets, because we went there for no purpose other than to keep those people alive Clinton also stressed that he is increasingly reluctant to operate under a United Nations structure that he thinks no longer provides "the help we need to protect our people At least he honestly has our troops best interests at heart. A congressional vote is set for Nov. 15; we can only hope and pray that he's holding the trump card. The East Carolinian Lindsay Fernandez, General Manager Gregory Dickens, Managing Editor Matthew A.

Printed on pjpt October 7, 1993 By Laura Wright Women capable of deciding their reproductive needs I am reall) glad that the ii s health issues class is now open to men. I'm sure that they'll be breaking down the door to get in there. Women, on the other hand (and as the case with so many other things in life), don't have a choice in the matter if they w?nt to get birth control pills. 1 would like to tell you a story about a friend of mine. I'll call her Laer, Kate. Kate is a graduate student and has been on the pill for six years. When her prescription from her un- dergraduate institution�where there was no mandatory health issues class and where the doc- tors made sure to explain and answer questions about the pill�ran out, Kate strolled into Student Health under the false impression that getting a refill would be a piece of cake. But alas. When will Kate learn that if she wants cake, she will have to go to the cafeteria? Kate had to sit in a health issues class and (re)learn about the pill. But that's not all; the class also covered information about sexually- transmitted dis- eases and there was even a dem- onstration on how to applv a condom. Now I ask you, are these women's health issues? Unfortunatelv, dropping the "women's" from the title of the class and opening the class to men are very token gestures. The policy remains the same: women have to sit through a lecture about issues that affect both sexes. The overall picture seems to be that it's a woman's respon- sibility to provide the birth con- trol (even condoms) and to pre- vent the diseases because the guy ain't gonna do it. Why won't he do it? Because he doesn't have to! NO ONE is making him be responsible. Sure, heterosexual women are more at risk than anyone when it comes to getting a dis- easeorgetting pregnant, butdis- eases and babies don't drop out of the blue. Hopefully, by the time we get to college, we real- ize that sex usually takes place between two people and (with any luck) both of those people are willing participants. How- ever, if women are the only ones that are made to be responsible, then women are also the ones that are called irresponsible when birth control doesn't work. Women get to take the blame and deal with the guilt simply because they are the "at- risk sex" and the gender that gets the lectures. The issue of responsibility goes beyond ECU's health ser- vices. If we look at non-surgical methods of birth control, nearly all of them�with the exception of condoms�are used, in some way, on the female body. More importantly, the pill, sponge, foam, diaphragm and IUDpose var; us health risks to their us- ers out in order to be respon- sible, women feel that they should be willing to take these risks. In general, issues concern- ing responsibility need to be re- thought. Maybe someday, a pill that men can take will be made available in this country. We all have hormones, after all. Since we know how to manipu- late women's hormones, why not figure out a way to ma- nipulate men's? In the mean- time, maybe ECU could dis- pense with the health issues class. If not, how about mak- ing the class mandatory for the men whose "mates" are re- quired to attend it. So, in the immortal words of Kate (who gave up on her dreams of cake), "let them eat pills Let's let women decide what their needs are. During regular appointments, health care proyiders usually answer questions and explain proce- dures about birth control pills and since a pap smear is re- quired, women have the op- portunity to ask questions and to find out about their health status. Give women the same op- tion that is available to men and give us some credit. We can take care of ourselves. Letters to the Editor Low SGA election turn-out prompts response To the Editor: We are always hearing about the apathetic view that college students have towards our political system. I believe that this is perpetuated by the collegiate class representative elections. This process seems totally asinine. We, the college body, have no idea of who these people are, what their job is, or how their decisions affect our lives. Do these persons have any power at all? What is their job description? Is it just another activity that they list on their job application to impress a possible future employer? I believe that if these questions were answered, more people would take an interest in the system. If our representatives are more than just figure heads then they should have some sort of platform, some goals and am- bitions. This should not be just some popularity contest. Hell, it is not even that. We, the vast majority, have never even seen or heard of the persons run- ning, all we get is a ballot with some faceless names printed on it. At UNC they take the positions so seriously that they actually hold political debates open to the public to allow the candidates to give the student body an opportunity to make an informed decision on their future voices. Maybe if the SGA were as strong here as it is at UNC then maybe we could institute some changes that would allow ECU to be held with the same esteem as other universities. Do you realize thatoutof nea rly 18,000 studentsnot even 700 voted in the election? That equates to less than 4. Col- lege students are supposed to be the learned, the hope for a better tomorrow, but we are being lead blindly around by persons whom we know noth- ing about. What ever hap- pened to the consciousness of the 60s and 70s? Are we so desensitized and sloven that we are going to sit id ly by and allow this travesty to con- tinue? You are always hearing people gripe about the prob- lems at the university, but the way I see it if you are not willing to take steps to allevi- ate the problems, then you should have no right to com- plain. Our student govern- ment representativesare sup- posed to be our voice to the institution. They should state our positions on such impor- tantissuesas: shouldwehave the right to have overnight guests of the opposite sex in our dorms, the ban on kegs at tail-gaiting parties, even our views on money being used on a new recreational center instead of the library. 1 won- der what they have been say- ing for us and even if they are saying it loud enough for any- one to hear them.

By Joseph Horst Sounds like a personal problem to me I'm a writer, in case you hadn't guessed. Just by those three words, the smarter-than-the-average bear will know that 1 deal with a lot of B.S. in my job. Heck, it's what I do for a living, right? However, I'm here today to tell you that even writers have a point where the B.S. just becomes a little too thick, even for them. Case in point: the recent rash of letters and columns dealing with how pageants exploit and degrade women. Excuse me, but aren't there just a few more important things we could be talk- ing a bou t? To the best of my knowledge, the women who participate in these pag- eants do so of their own free will. In other words, they want to! If that's their decision, who has the right to say that it was a wrong one? Better yet, why waste your time even worrying about the whole thing? Pageants, in the grand scheme of things, are so small and unimportant that it boggles my mind when I see how many people are concerned about them. Are our lives so dull that we have to stretch so far to vent an emotion? You want to get up in arms about something, try this campus. Better yet, try your own life. Wakeup and start concerning your- self with your own actions instead of getting all hot and bothered about some- one else's. Definition time, people. Matterus interruptus: the action of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. Penicillin won't cure it, and neither will Advil. As a matter of fact, the only thing that will make it go away is a strong dose of common sense. Imagine that, something you're supposed to have anyway! How about we try something new, hmmm? I don't know how 'bout we stop worrying about all these general ideals and start just living our lives the best way we know how? You can talk til you're blue in the face, but if you have to back it up with actions. Pissed you off yet? Nope? J ust wait. Women, men, blacks, whites�you name it, I've got a catch-all solution to all of these problems. Mind your own busi- ness! Live your own life and deal with your own problems � if you've got enough time to worry about someone else, get a hobby. Get a clue. More im- portantly, get a life. I'm tired of hearing how someone is so upset about some problem or an- other. Do they thinking bitching and moaning is going to solve it? Get off yourass and do something about it. Show the others, by your actions, what you think the answer is and how the problem should be dealt with. If enough people would focus their lives on living them correctly, we might be surprised how quickly society wii! turn around. Put your rose back where it be- longs, Pinocchio. Right back on your own face. � �I M-nmn,m,i TheEastCarolinian October 7, 1993 For Rent i-BI DR KMTOWNHOUSEtoshare, I furnished room Near hospital Stu- dentpreferred Washeranddryer .$225 per month, including utilities 75 PRIVATE PARKING: Private spaces tor rent 1 block from ECU campus on Lewis Street.

About two weeks ago, one of the area's shops�that's right, it's not a bar�became the first down- town spot to feature a unique and safe way to take your mind on a long, strange trip. BLT'S, operated by Bill and Denise Overman, is the place to go to check out the "electronic mind trip What looks like an innocent little contra ption attached to a com- pact disc player in the back corner of the store is actually a device that allows you to explore your imagi- nation with your eyes closed on a couch. Bill Overman said that he picked up on the trip machine dur- ing the Lollapolooza tour. He pur- chased the machine about a month ago and said that, since he put it in the store, it has been popular with customers. Overman said that the "trip" is "light-and-sound enhanced. You can listen to whatever music you want, and there's thirty-five differ- ent programs. Once you get more and more invoked with it, you can run a program that goesalong with whatever music vou choose The machine combines fre- quencies and pitches that provide the aural effect, and Overman said that even though they may not be detectable by theear, these factors "make the music and the light go together that much better Where the sound and light, leave off, however, your brain takes over. The light penetrates your eyelids from a pair of spe- cially-rigged glasses that have lights embedded in the lenses. You slip on a set of headphones after choosing the music (the Grateful Dead's "Infrared Roses" is one popular example, Overman said), and then you allow the lights to form wild patterns, flashes and de- signs. At times, it's difficult to tell what's real or imagined during the program. In addition to the music, a pulse keeps in rhythm with the fre- quency of the lights, providing a range of effects that can both relax and excite you within moments. Programs cost $4, and they run between 10 to 15 minutes. Keep in mind that BLT'S fea- tures locally designed t-shirts, which Denise Overman said are the main- stay of the store. Designs include political, environmental, musical and local-interest messages and im- ages. Bill Overman also owns a t- shirt screening shop across the street from the boutique. Along with co-owner Les Franck, Overman said that in addition to putting out the shirts that are sold in the shop, BLT'S can fill special group orders. "We do anything from three dozen to three thou- sand he said of the number of shirts they can produce. The shop also stocks a variety of baja pull-overs and other ap- parel, as well as Birkenstock san- dals, sunglasses, candles, incense, beaded curtains and other eclec- tic items. BLT'S isopen from 11:00a.m. to 6:00 p.m Sunday through Thursday, and on Friday and Sat- urday, the shop is open until 9:00 p.m. The shop's phone number is 757-1007, and BLT'S is located at 205 East Fifth Street. Bill Overman's screening store is di- rectly across the street, and the number there is 752-6953. So stop on in and say hi to the crew at BLT'S. From mind trips to "Air Jerry" (Garcia, that is) shirts, BLT'S offers a different slant for lovers of the unusual. Meiher Nature Attic celebrates 22nd birthday Photo courtesy of Mother Nature This Thursday night Mother Nature (pictured above) will help the Attic celebrate its 22nd birthday. Come out for a night of drink specials, door prizes and good ol' American classic rock tunes. See you there! By Julie Totten Lifestyle Editor As long as this school has been on the map, there's been a nightclub near the comer of Fifth Street. This Thursday night, owner Joe Tronto w ill be celebrating the Attic's 22nd birthday with Mother Nature and drink specials a 11 weekend long. WSFL radio will be at the festivities along with numerous door prizes and free admission to the first 22 people. Mother Na ture, which has been known in the Greenville area and statewide as a classic-rock cover band, will take the stage around 10:30. Although the majority of this band's music is classic rock, the band has also began to explore their own sounds in original songs. "We wanted to gain a strong following using covers that every- one knows and loves. A lot of times when people are in clubs they want to here something they know said Warren Sumner, the band's bass- ist. The quintet is composed of: Todd Proctor, drums; Mark Will- iams, guitar and vocals; Robert Swain, percussion and vocals; Jon Matthews, guitar and vocals; and Warren Sumner, bass. The band made a different ap- proach to finding their audience� through music people can sing along with or at least reflect back on past memories that these songs surface. Often times a person's step into music occurred in junior high school, listening to the rebellious runes of the 60s and 70s. Sunshine Alternative, which also promotes Greenville-based Purple School, represents Mother Nature in all of N.C S.C. and VA "As far as cover runes we're com- petitive with any band in the na- tion Sumner said. Each member of the band has been playing at least six years, and each play from a diverse school of musical thought. Vo- cals are reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash, but the drum- mer, Todd Proctor, leans heavily on his jazz background. "Our vocals are done a lot of the time in three-part harmonies. These days you don't hear many good voices with the bands, so we have a talent that has been overlooked lately said Proctor. Thursday night will be the night we can all roll back into the past 22 years and praise the mu- sic Mother Nature keeps alive and celebrate the club that pro- motes music in our area. Doors will open at 9:30, and don' t forget the first 22 people get in free. Happy 22nd, Joe 'Malice' considered true thriller of fall season By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The tag line for the new thriller, Malice, reads: "Some things you never see coming Believe the tag line. Malice begins with a murder mystery and evolves into some- thingmuch more intriguing. Andy (Bill Pullman) and his wife Tracy (Nicole Kidman) have just bought a house near Westerly College, a fictitious New England school. Andy is the Associate Dean of Stu- dents, and his wife volunteers at the hospital affiliated with West- erly. The couple is short on money but long on love. Because of their pecuniary problems they decide to rent their third floor as an apart- ment. The tenant they take on is Dr. Jed Hill (Alec Baldwin), a young surgeon who recently started work at the school hospital. Dr. Hill ex- udes confidence, and this turns Tracy off. Andy and Dr. Hill meet when a rape victim is saved by Dr. Hill. Coincidentally, Andy and Jed learn that they went to the same high school so Andy offers Jed the apartment in his house. This plot arrangement takes 15 minutes and sets the scene for all that follows. Because of the twists and turns that this thriller takes, I will refrain from other plot discus- sions. Suffice it to say that the path to the end of this story is circuitous. Malice promises to keep viewers guessing. The talent in this project should impress most viewers, even if the names are nothousehold ones. Gor- don Willis (all three Godfather films plus many of Woody Allen's films, including Manhattan) does the cin- ema tography quite well. By inten- tionally providing particular closeups, he frustrates the tense viewer who desperately wants to discern which characters are lurk- ing in the background. He also ef- fectively uses lights and shadows to invoke the desired mood. Aaron Sorkin, whocrafted the script for A Fezv Good Men from his own play, co-authored both the story and the script for Malice. He displays a cunning ability to enter- tain the masses without being con- descending. He has written an ex- tremely intelligent, though at times implausible, thriller that far sur- passes the likes of Basic Instinct, Unlawful Entry or Fatal Attraction. Director Harold Becker has proven to be more than capable of directing thrillers, having been at the helm for The Onion Field and Sea of Love. He provides the audi- ence with a few expected thrills, presenting them intelligently with many other, more subtle, pleasures such as the interesting characters. The cast solidifies this well- photographed, intelligently writ- ten and smartly directed thriller. Alec Baldwin skillfully portrays the arrogant surgeon. He gives Jed plenty of life in his eyes, causing the viewer to be wary oihim. Nicole Kidman gives a knock-out perfor- mance and seems poised to be- come a major star. Bill Pullman, who was last seen as Meg Rvan's allergy-prone fiance in Sleepless in Seattle, anchors the cast with the most important role. He, like Kidman, should see his Hollywood stock rise considerably with his role in Malice. The supporting cast also de- serves acclaim. Neurith (Lilith Crane on "Cheers") plays an of- ficer on the Westerly campus po- lice force who keeps trying to con- vince Andy that her people are doing all they can to stop the string of rapes and deaths that occur on campus. Peter Gallagher plays a lawyer who, though unctous, en- gages the viewer's empathy. George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft both ha ve small but important roles that give Malice the necessary star power to be considered a serious film. Like Sea of Love, one of the rea- sons Malice is so entertaining is that the story not only provides thrills but also raises other interest- ing issues. In Sea of Love, the lives of despera te people seeking romance through newspapers weighs heavily on audiences. In Malice, medical malpractice issues arise that cause the viewer to think. Another discussion occurs within See MALICE page 10 House of Love abandons 'perfection' By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer It has been five years since The House of Love appeared on the music scene with their 1987 88 debut, The Creation. Their lat- est effort and fourth LP, Audi- ence With the Mind, was released in June of this year. So this re- view may be yesterday's news to some of you. Like their third release, Au- dience With the Mind was re- corded in 12 days, which may tell you something about the album's sound. The House of Love has been noted for their attention to struc- ture and production, but this time they are abandoning their perfectionist approach for a more raw and appealing sound. It seems that a lot of today's alternative music is suffering from over-production�there are too many cooks spoiling the broth. However, this album should be worthy of some type of non-sellout award. There is no fanciful production here. They are not releasing a single or planning an endless tour to promote this album, and that's a brave move for any musician. The band has returned to its original three-piece lineup of Guy Chadwick (vocals, guitar), Chris Groothuizen (bass) and Pete Evans (drums). Although they dropped their fourth member, Terry Bick- ers (guitar), they still manage to come through with a full sound. Since there is no hype sur- rounding this release, the album has to speak for itself, and it does. This is an all-around good al- bum with 12 tracks that differ greatly in texture and feel. Some of the more notable ones are "Ero- sion "Portrait in Atlanta" and the haunting "Hollow I should probably end this re- view before I over-scrutinize House of Love; it is probablv best to adhere to the band's policy of no hype. Just give it a listen. Photo courtesy of Mercury Records Pictured above are members of The House of Love. From left to right are Pete Evans, Guy Chadwick and Chris Groothuizen. Check it out. Filibuster's nice getaway from campus dining By Steve Griffin Staff Writer Filibuster's Restaurant is some- thing downtown Greenville needs more of. This restaurant adds a new fla- vor to downtown. Filibuster's de- cor is what makes it so different from any other downtown restau- rant. They have a colorful carpet surrounded by matchinggreenand maroon walls. The restaurant also features an upstairs with a nice view of downtown and of the bar, which is centered in the middle of the bot- tom floor. The walls in Filibuster's are covered with photographs of politicians from Bill Clinton to Jesse Helms. Themanagersaidthis idea came from some restau- rants in Washington, D.C. with similar political symbols. Before Filibusters opened up, the owners wrote to all of the U.S. Con- gress and many of them sent in autographpictures to therestaurant. The picruresof someof thepresi- dents came from antique stores and friends. The manager said there are equal amount of both Re- publicans and Democrats on the walls of Filibusters. The food is as great as the atmosphere of the restaurant. The menu offers a wide variety of mostly sandwiches and dinner en- Don't Run My Life: Beautiful trees. They also have something a little different with a section of smothered potatoes including bacon,cheddar and broccoli and potatoes. In the steak section of the menu, they offer different meat temperatures they could prepare your steak at. I thought this was very helpful when ordering a steak to my exact liking. I tried the See FOOD page 10 You know how it might be somebody's birthday and you like them but they're not your very bestest friend and vou want to give them something but you don't want to spend any money? Well look, it's the thought that counts, so sometimes you can just give that. But anyway, here's what concerns me: bad, dumb, mean students. Why should other stu- dents and teachers be subjected to rude individuals who disre- spect them? I mean, if you disre- spect your teachers and fellow stu- dents, aren't you really making a statement against education, a commodity that many never get a chance to own? Aren't you indict- ing the whole educational system, using your own unfounded and misguided principles?

The Scorpions areoneof the few Western bands to have had the chance to play at locations world- wide, even in areas that would not normally host foreign bands. They were there when the Berlin Wall came down; they performed in the Soviet Union in 1988 at the Moscow- Music Peace Festival and, in 1986, and they also performed in Budapest from behind the Iron Curtain. The band touches on world is- sues. With their album, Crazy World, on which they include an anthem for the Desert Storm troops, thev sing about the regressive reality of Germany's wave of hate crimes. "Winds of Change" was a global hit, becoming number one in 12 coun- triesaround the world, selling nearly seven million copies worldwide. In their new album, Face tlie Heat, a new band member, Ralph Rieckermann, replaces the original bassist Francis Buchholz. This is both a musical purgative and rebirth for the Scorpions. Thebandstill consists of Herman RarebeU'scolorful trade- mark drumming, the dual guitar work of Rudolf Schenker and Matthiasjabs. Jabs' rhythm and lead riffs abound in blissful intensity. In this album, The Scorpions cover several social issues ("Alien Nation "Ship Of Fools "Unholy Alliance"). Thev also face some dis- tinct personal and professional prob- lems including a painful and public parting of the ways with Buchholz. They have chanelled those painful, negative feelings into strong, posi- tive bodies of work. "That has al- ways been our philosophy Schenkersavs. "And throughoutthe pastcoupleof years, wereally needed to test our mettle Face tlie Heat is a distinguished Photo Courtesy of Mercury Records These guys had their start in 1971 and, to everyone's surprise, are still releasing albums.

"In spite of, and probably because of the tu- mult around us, we gained the cour- age to take some risks The band wanted toachieve the same influence in the recording stu- dio that they had previously cre- ated. Therefore, they employed the "single take" theory in making Face Vie Heat. This resulted in a sponta neity and experimental effortpresent in the punk metal meandering of "Nightmare Avenue" and the jazv quality of Jabs' skilled guitar work on "Hate To Be Nice Thev are trying to become stron- ger than thev had been, since before the loss ofa band member. Schenker says, "You must laugh in the face of adversity and we all have to face the heat in life. Some things, both person- ally and on a much larger scale are simplv out of our hands. The trick is to emerge relatively uascathed and stronger than before The Scorpions started out as a rock 'n' roll band, but they have emerged as the voice and eyes of the people. With their background of backyard geography, The Scorpions report, through their music, the changing complexion of the political world. The band has gradually al- tered its purely rock'n' roll intentions in moving toward more meaningful messages about the power of living life on the front lines. The Scorpions have used music to move towards world unity. They have broken rules and crossed invis- ibleboundariesduring their career of music. Now, they have broken ground with their new album, and they Face Tlie Heat as they always have. The Lifestyle section of TEC is looking for a dependable, great-writing book reveiwer.

Jordan announces early retirement DEERFIELD, 111 (AD � Basketball's greatest plaver planned to announce his retire- ment toda at age 3D, a startling turn of events that leaves the Chi- cago Bulls without their seven- time scoring champion, the NBA without its biggest attraction and millions of fans without the hero who redefined standards of ex- cellence. Jordan said he chose to make the announcement today because he "wanted to get it over and done with before training camp -tarts, so that they can start on their own two feet The Bulls open camp today and Jordan had three years left on his $4 million-a-year con- tract. NBA deputy commissioner Russell Granik said Jordan tele- phoned commissioner David Stern on Tuesday to say he was leaving. "David said Michael had made up his mind Granik told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Whether it's permanent or not remains to be seen. But it's true Jordan left open the possibil- ity of returning to the game. "Would I ever unretire? I don't know. I think the word 're- tire' means you can do whatever vou want, and mavbe somedav down the road, that's what I'll desire to do he said. The team, preparing for a shot at a fourth-straight title, said nothing about Jordan on Tues- day except to announce that he would have toe surgery, with his recovery to last two weeks. That night, Jordan threw out the ceremonial pitch at Comiskey Park for the opening game of the American League playoffs be- tween the Chicago White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. By the seventh inning, word of Jordan's retirement had spread. Flanked by security guards, Jordan left the stadium, drivingoff in hisblack Mercedes- Benz. The White Sox would lose 7-3, but in a city where Jordan is the undisputed king of sports, the baseball setback was tame stuff. At least two of Jordan's team- mates said they weren't surprised he would walk away. "He's just so tired. You could see it coming one unidentified teammate told the Chicago Tri- bune. "I don't think this decision Fila Photo South Carolina, 2-3, has been inconsistent this season. The 'Cocks are hoping to break a two-game losing streak against the Pirates in Columbia, S.C. this Saturday. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. Historically black colleges unite NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) � Several historically black colleges are exploring the possibility of forming a new Division I-A foot- ball conference. Possible members include Tennessee State, Grambling, Jack- son State, Southern, Florida A&M, South Carolina State, North Caro- lina A&T and Howard. "It is strictly an exploratory conversation so we can get a feel for where different schools stand at this point said Tennessee State athletic director Bill Thomas. "On the surface, I think a foot- ball league! i ke that would do very well in attendance and fan inter- est he said. Tennessee State has a com- bined attendance of more than 100,000 for games this season against Florida A&M, JacksonState and Grambling. Charlotte still in football franchise race CHARLOTTE (AP) � Jerry and Mark Richardson promised an impressive presentation when the investors' group attempting to land an NFL expansion team for Charlotte got their chance be- foreleaguecommitteeslastweek. The presentation will outline reasons why a city should be se- lected, give results of premium ticket drives and discuss theover- all financial status of the poten- tial owners. "It will be very hard for any- one to yawn during our presen- tation Mark Richardson said. The presentation by Richardson Sports to the NFL's expansion and finance commit- tees will be the last of five made by gToups that each want a new franchise. Other cities in the run- ning for a new NFL team are Baltimore,St. Louis, Jacksonville, Fla. and Memphis, Tenn. See NFL page 14 The Tennessee State-Florida A&M game drew about 31,100 in Jacksonville, Fla. The Tennessee State-Jackson State game had 43,800 in Chicago, and last Saturday's Tennessee State- Grambling game drew about 42,000 in Memphis. Tennessee State president James Hefner said he has not dis- cussed theproposalwithhiscoun- terparts at other schools. But he said there is "an obvious appeal to increasing the athletic revenue at the university "When you talk about foot- ball within the African-American community, you cannot leave out Tennessee State he said. The NCAA requires a Divi- sion I-A school to have a mini- mum stadium capacity of 30,000 and average attendance of 17,000. Tennessee State's Hale Stadium seats only 16,000, but the school would like to renovate it and ex- pand it to at least 30,000. Tennessee State is now in the Ohio Valley Conference and games against league opponents draw far fewer fans than games against the traditionally black schools. OVC commissioner Dan Beebe said the league constitution could be changed to allow schools to seek their own level in football while maintaining conference membership in other sports. The OVC plays at the Division I level in basketball butatDivision I-AA in football. Tennessee State has been in the OVC for seven years. Another OVC school, Middle Tennessee State, has flirted in re- cent years with applying for mem- bership in the Southern Confer- ence.

A note taped over the doorbell said: "No solicitors. No autographs. If you are not expected, PLEASE do not ring this bell Fueled by his spectacular play and endorsements for prod- ucts ranging from sneakers to hot dogs, Jordan's fame extended far beyond the borders of Chicago and the NBA. At last year's Barcelona Olympics, he was treated more as a potentate or rock star than a basketball player. In China, he is the most celebrated figure apart from Mao Tse-tung � this in a country where basketball isnot even the most popular sport. Charles Barklev, the Phoe- nix Suns MVP who played with Jordan on the Dream Team at Barcelona and against him in last season's NBA finals, said: "Michael Jordan i s the only per- son in this entire world that I've ever met who is as competitive as I am.

The Bucs have beaten USC the past two seasons, but it will be tough to get three in a row because the 'Cocks are a much improved team. The Pirates enter Columbia, S.C. with a 1-3 record and are coming off a miserable loss to Memphis State, 34-7. The Game- cocks also have a losing record at 2-3. South Carolina is coming of a loss to No. 2 ranked Alabama, 17-6. According to the NCAA, South Carolina played the nation's toughest schedule in 1992. After loosing their first five games, the Gamecocks turned things around and closed out the year going 5-1 to finish 5-6 overall. ECU unleashed running back Junior Smith for the first time against South Carolina, last year, and slipped by with a two point victory, 20-18, on a mudd v field. The win marked the sec- ond in a row for the Pirates against USC after loosing the first eight games of the series. Smith had 146 yards rush- ing on 20 carries and one touch- down last week against the Ti- gers.

By Brad Oldham Staff Writer East Carolina's volleyball team won their second consecu- tive match of the season Tues- day night, moving their record to 5-14. ECU defeated the Aggies of NC A&T in three games, 15-4,15-9,15-12. The Pirates took control of the game early. Co-captain Melanie Richards, who had 12 killsand seven digs on the night, helped the Pirates to gain 6-1 lead, forcing an A&T time-out. After A&T came out of the TO, they did their best to cope with the Pirates. However, the Pi- rates were just too tough to handle. They played ruch more aggressively than the Aggies, especially at the net. The Pirates cruised to a 15-4 victory. In game two, the Pirates got solid play early on from sopho- more middle-hitter Gwynn Baber. As in their previous match with Mount Olive Col- lege, ECU played with more confidence than usual. East Carolina made some crucial mental mistakes that many more experienced teams would have easily capitalized on. The Aggies fought hard the entire game, but eventu- ally fell 15-9. In game three, ECU got off on the right foot, jumping out to a 5-0 lead. ECU Coach Martha McCaskill let her reserves see some playing time halfway through the game. Leading only 13-11, ECU called a time-out. McCaskill sentstarter Carrie Brne back into the game to help finish off the Aggies. Sophomore Kristy Blair served the game-winning point, giving the Pirates the vic- tory by a score of 15-12.

Hornets' Johnson inks largest pro contract in history CHARLOTTE(AP)�NBAA1I Star forward Larry Johnson and the Charlotte Hornets tied themselves together with the biggest contract in professional U.S. team sports � $84 million over 12 years. The sum to be paid to the 1992 NBA rookie of the year dwarfs the $32.5 million Hornets owner paid to establish the team as an expansion franchise six years ago. "(NBA commissioner) David Stem laughed when I told him Hornets owner George Shinn said a t anewsconferenceTuesday"Hesaid, 'George, you're goingto sign him for twice thedamn pricewechargedyou for the franchise The contract links Johnson and the Hornets through the spring of 2005.

"Iwasflippingthrough thepages looking at it and finally said, 'You'd better hurry and sign this, big guy, before someWlydianges their rnind " Johnson said. Johnson led the Hornets in scor- ingand rebounding last season,aver- aging22.1 pointsand 10.5reboundsa game. Fans voted him to the NBA Eastern Conference all-star starting lineup last February. He was selected to the NBA all- star second team at the end of the year. Johnson, along with rookie cen- ter Alonzo Mourning, were the ca ta- lysts for the team's advance to the second round of the playoffs, where they lost to the New York Knicks. "I just feel in my bones we're going to have a championship here, butlalsofeelwecan'thaveitwithout Larrv said Shinn.

The Philadelphia 76ersgavefirst- round draft pick Shawn Bradley of Brigham Young an eight-year con- tract worth an estimated $44.2 mil- lion, now the second-largest salary package in the NBA. Johnson's original con tract gave him the option of becoming a free agent the summer of 1995, The Char- lotte Observer reported today. When Johnson expressed interest in signing a "career-ending"extension overthe winter, the Hornets were quick to respond. The Hornets should have looked before they lept. Nike signing best college basketball teams to contracts RALEIGH(AP)�Nikelncwas paying for the right to link itself with by-the-book sports excellence when it signed a four-year clothing deal wi thNorth Carolina for an estimated $4.7 million, an athletic-wear indus- try analyst says. "I think you should look at it as great, good fortune and a well-de- served round of applause for schools that have stood for excellence and made it stick Brian Murphy, pub- lisher and editor for the Sports Mar- keting Letter, said in a telephone in- terview. Part of the interest on the part of the Oregon-based company was its desire to have coach Dean Smith's basketball players wear its shoes, Murphy said. "UNC is considered to be one of rheschoolsatthetopofthebasketball world. That might have been an im- portant consideration he said. "This is consistent with their ongoing strategy of trying to outfit everyathlete in the world said Gary Jacobson, an analyst for Kidder Peabody&Co. The company will pay $12 mil- lion for Smith's advice as a consult- ant. That money is to be used to support the basketball program and othervenruresatUNCInall,26ofthe 28 athletic teams at the school will wear Nike equipment. The men's and women's soccer teams will stay with Adidas. Richard Hiskey, achemistry pro- fessor and chairman of the UNC ath- letic council, said the arrangement will greatly benefit the athletic de- partment, providing sizable relief to its budget. However, Hiskey told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the school should closely monitor the contract. School officials should not lose sleep over fear that Nike's far- reaching influence in the American sports industry would compromise their authority, Murphy said. "A lot of people's reaction is that the school isbeingpurchased for $4.7 million he said. "They're not going to have control oxer the sports pro- gram.

Duke, which won consecutive national titles in 1991 and 1992, wore Adidas shoes for years before it switched to Nike in April. UNC and Duke could become testing grounds for new Nike products, and could serve as experimental markets for advertising campaigns aimed at col- lege students, Murphy said.

The Charlotte group's biggest asset is expected to be the results of a campaign which has fans paying annual fees to earn the lifetime rights to buy season tick- ets in order to finance construc- tion of a new downtown stadium, The Gaston Gazette reported.

The tickets range in price from $600 to $5,400, 8,314 club seats and 102 luxury suites. The money will be used to build the stadium in Char- lotte.

It is that we have talked about a lot Jordan said. The startling announcement in basketball's greatest player leaves the Chicago Bulls without their seven-time scoring cham- pion, the NBA without itsglitziest attraction, and millions of fans without the hero who redefined standards of excellence. Jordan's departure at the top of his game occurred during a vear of unprecedented success� and personal tragedy. He led his Chicago Bulls to a third-straight NBA championship, but also suf- fered the loss of his father, who was shot and killed. The 30-year- old superstar, whose salary and endorsements bring him more than $50 million a year, also was dogged by reports of excessive COCKS gambling. In recent years, Jordan ad- mitted losing large sums of money in wagers to a convicted North Carolina drug dealer in 1991. He was also the subject of a book in which he was accused of losing more than $1 million in golf bets. The same week the book was released, Jordan gambled with his father at an Atlantic City, N.J casino the night before a playoff game with the New York Knicks. Continued from page 13 No other source can give you sports coverage like The East Carolinian! 100 vards in three games this sea- son. For the season he has 492 yards rushing and is averaging 4.8 yards per carry. South Carolina returns most of their offense from last year. Quarterback Steve Taneyhill fin- ished fourth in the Southeastern Conference in passing efficiency as a true freshman. He will choose from wide receivers Toby Cates, Asim Penny and true-freshman Calvin Owens. Pirate head coach Steve Logan says that the whole team seems to rally behind Taneyhill. Cates and Penny averaged 17 vards per catch, but Owens may be the one to watch. He was touted as the best in the state and may make an immediate impact. The Ga mecocks have two solid running backs in Brandon Bennett and Rob Deboer. Last season they combined for over 1,000 yards. Bennett has compiled 489 yards so far this season. Deboer gained 88 ardsonl5carriesversusECUlast year. Bennett rushed 11 times for 34 ya�-ds in the same game. The South Carolina defense put in a terrific performance last week by shutting out the Crim- son Tide in the fourth quarter. The Pirates must be aware of out- side linebacker Ernest Dixon and strong safer)' Tony Watkins. They combined for 19 tackles last week and one sack. Defensive end Stacy Evans will give ECU's injured offensive line some trouble. Stacy picked up two sacks against the No. 2 powerhouse. It will be piv- otal for the Pirate QB's to know where inside linebacker Mike Landry is at all times. The Buc offense will be with- outhalf-backJerrisMcPhail,who will likely sit this one out with an injured ankle. ECU will have to establish a good running game to take the pressure off the passing game. Logan said this week that Chris Hester will be his starting quarterback again, but he will put Perez Mattison in the game at some point. The freshman Mattison came in last week to throw four interceptions while Hester threw two, setting a new school record for INTs in a single game. The South Carolina series be- gan in 1977 with a Buc loss, 19-16. Their next meeting was in 1984 and the Gamecocks routinely thrashed ECU by an average of 29 points per game every year until 1991 when Jeff Blake led the Pirates to a 31-20, victory. Last year South Carolina kicker Mart Simpson missed two field goals in the final seconds that would have won the game. One was blocked, from 36 yards out, and recovered. The next, from 37 yards out, was wide right. For the Pirates to pull the up- set this week they must not com- mit turnovers, while the key on defense will be the ability to key on Tanneyhill and not give up the big pass, as they did against MemphisState. New defensive co- ordinator Larry Coyer has brought a very much-improved rush defense to ECU. The Buc defense will prob- ably miss starting linebacker Mark Libiano, again, for this game. He should be able to return the next week for La. Tech. The offensive line will miss starters Derrick Leaphart and Terry Tilgham, who are lost for the season. The big 'Cock defensive line will look to take advantage of their absences. HALLOWEEN IS COMING DAPPER DAN'S IS READY!
