Today Tomorro The East Carolinian Vol. 68 No. 59 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Tuesday, October 19,1993 10 Pages Students robbed at gun point on campus By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor Late-night walks through campus have resulted in one armed robbery and one at- tempted armed robbery of ECU students within three days, and ECU police are warning students to use common sense to prevent further attacks. Last Wednesday night, at approximately 2:50 a.m two Belk Hall residents were con- fronted by two males in the park- ing lot of Chico's restaurant on Cotanche Street, according to police reports. The assailants fol- lowed the individuals onto cam- pus, engaging in casual conver- sation. The four walked together until they reached the secluded area between Flanagan and Stu- dentHealth Services. Atthattime, the suspects drew two weapons, identified by the victims as one semi-automatic handgun and an- other handgun of some type. Both victims were ordered to lie on the ground. While neither of the victims carried a wallet, both wore ex- pensive gold chains which were taken by the assailants. The vic- tims estimated the jewelry to be worth $1,000. Tne suspects warned the victims that if they got up, they would be shot. The suspects then fled on foot, and the victims re- turned to Belk Hall, where they contacted ECU police. Both assailants in this inci- dent were described as black males, in their early 20s. The vic- tims described suspect number one as approximately 6'1 220 lbs with very short black hair, a stocky build and a thin mustache. The victims said suspect number one has a deep voice and a me- dium complexion. This indi- vidual wore a tan, three-quarter length jacket and boots. Suspect number two was described as approximately 5'6 165 lbs stocky build, no facial hair and a lso with very short hair. He wore a black stocking-cap with white markings, a white warm-up jacket with red and blue sleeves and dark pants. The second assault took place Saturday night, Sept. 16, at about 3:05 a.m. behind the Rawl Annex, south of the General Classroom Building. According to police reports, two black males grabbed an Aycock resident walking by himself and pulled him behind Rawl. The assailants then hit the victim's head against the wall and proceeded to punch him in the chest, arms and side . The victim told the suspects he did not have any money, but they demanded his wallet. The victim opened his empty wallet, at which time the suspects reached into their jackets as if they had guns, and ordered the victim to the ground. The sus- pects then fled on foot. In this attack both assail- ants were described as black males in their 20's. Suspect num- ber one is about six feet tall, 200 lbs with short black hair. He wore a white cap, a black, heavy, down coat, black baggy pants, and black army-style boots. Suspect number two wore the exact same attire, but without a hat. He was described as 5'6 and 180 lbs. "We strongly suggest that individuals don't walk by them- selves at such a late time said ECU Crime Prevention Officer Keith Knox. "If they have to get somewhere, we prefer them to use good common sense and call someone for an escort ECU police will provide a security escort for any individual, male or femab, Knox said. He reminded students to use the blue-light emergency phones, found at various locations across campus, if they are approached, or even if someone is acting sus- piciously. "These individuals come out of nowhere Knox said. "We suggest walking in groups of three or more and don't take unnecessary chances. "If someone asks for money or property, cooperate with them fully, because noth- ing is worth your life. Get to a safe area as soon as it is safe to do so, and report the attack to either ECU police if it's on-cam- pus or Greenville police if it's off-campus "I recommend that stu- dents don't wear flashy, expen- sive jewelry Knox said, but he reminded students that, as in the second assault, anyone can be attacked. While no arrests have been made, ECU police con- tinue to investigate both inci- dents. House leader praises young people By Jason Williams Staff Writer Toby Fitch is a man on a mission. In addition to campaign- ing for the university improve- ment bonds, the N.C. House Ma- jority Leader from Wilson is con- sidering a run against Rep. Eva Clayton for Congress. Fitch brought his message to ECU Thursday, courtesy of the ECU College Democrats. To in- sure passage of the bonds, he said, requires a unified effort from all the parties involved. "In my 10 years in the Gen- eral Assembly, it's always been the community colleges fighting the universities. The big univer- sities were swallowing up the small universities and the small universities were kicking back at the big universities. But now we're all sitting down at the same table. Now, by God, we're in the See HOUSE page 3 UNC system pies supports bond By Jason Williams N.C. House Majority Leader Toby Fitch spoke at Mendenhall Student Center on Oct. 14.

SGA's summer spending actions to be evaluated RV I fll Iffl AllflrH rnrifan thof ka� kn lUlU By Laura Allarci Staff Writer The first SGA meeting after the last elections took place last night. Executive Board members and advisor Ronald Speier de- bated the authority of the Execu- tive to act in the absence of the Legislature during the summer break. Executive Board members Red Cross holds blocdmobile By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer The American Red Cross Blood Services wants to thank you for participating in the bloodmobile on Sept. 30. "What a great effort by stu- dents and faculty said Helen Monroe, Blood Services Con- sultant for the American Red Cross. "Thanks for caring and sharing the 'Gift of Life Each of you who donated helped exceed the Red Cross' goal of 200 units. A total of 275 units of blood was collected. "This was a tremendous help toward our collection goal of providing our area hospitals contend that they have the author ity to appropriate funds during this time, while precedent dictates that money is only spent over the sum- mer in emergency situations. The SGA approved the spending of about $15,000. The most controversial appropriation was that of $280 for three members of the Executive Council to pur- chase parking stickers. The president already re- ceives a parkingsticker, but whether or not the other three members also need them in order to do work for the president and attend meetings throughout campus is currently under debate. The class of 1993 donated $5,000 for the clock that is now standing outside the Graham Building. The Executive board granted $1,600 for six members of the Panhellenic Council to fly to Orlando and $330 to the Inter- Fraternitv Council for rush adver- tising. In addition to $700 for politi- cal science speakers and $280 for booklets outlining the Honor Re- view Board, several other projects were funded. The total budget for the 1993- 94 school year is $224,000 minus the $124,000 in annual appropria- tions and $15,000 that were appro- priated over the summer. The SGA has extra funding this year due to the $2 increase in student fees. Staff Writer Though he faces no oppo- nent in the November 2 state- wide election, CD. Spangler, Jr. is in serious danger of losing. And if Spangler loses this battle, nearly everyone agrees that ECU loses as well. Spangler, the president of the 16 campuses of the Univer- sity of North Carolina, spoke to the ECU Board of Trustees on Friday in support of the univer- sity improvement bond that goes before the voters next month. Two projects in the $310 million UNC bond referendum are the expansion and renovation of Joyner Library at $28.9 million and the acquisition of the former Rose High School property at $5 million. Accompanying Spangler was Thomas Storrs of Charlotte. The former head of NCNB, now NationsBank Corporation, Storrs is coordinating the statewide campaign to secure passage of the bond package. Both men urged the Trustees and especially the Chancellor to redouble their efforts in fighting for the bonds. "We have only 17 days left to get this bond issue passed on November 2. There is nobody left on the face of the earth who doesn't understand this must be completed Spangler said. Spangler blamed the reces- sion of the late 1980s for having to raise money through the bond process for the univer- sity system. At the same time, he credited the General Assem- bly for allowing the referen- dum, which passed both houses with only one dissent- ing vote. Whether or not the bond passes depends largely on people connected with the uni- versity turning out a t the polls. "We have the task of get- ting the university family out to vote. Probably one million people would wake up today and say they are friends of the university Storrs was more dramatic in tone, defining his campaign in military terms. "This is a battle fought on 16 campuses around the state. On those cam- puses the field leaders will be the chancellors he said. Storrs said the chancel- lors faced two challenges. "First we have to let people know what the facts are. Then we have to get people who favor us to go out and vote Several things are work- ing in the university's favor, including a lack of organized opposition and an "unforeseen talent in the political field" on the part of the chancellors, Storrs said. The only disadvan- tage he mentioned was a lack of interesting political races See BOND page 3 Fair games are hard: it's the law r RALEIGH (AP) � The games on the midway at the North Carolina State Fair dare you to test your skill. They bet- ter. State laws require game op- erators to make the games tough. Skill is an essential ingredient. Otherwise, the games would be considered gambling, which is illegal in North Carolina. Wake County sheriff's of- ficers roll through the midway every year before the fair opens to make sure the average person won't carry home a big stuffed animal. "We have to assure our- selves they are games of skill and not chance � that what you do affects the outcome said Maj. Danny Bellamy, who checks the games every y�?ar. "The av- here will lose nine times out of ur Dr. Francis Giesbrecht, a North Carolina State University statistician, said although each game is different, "you can't cal- culate the chances of winning, because skill is involved. My per- sonal opinion is that they are pretty slim He and Bellamy said most games are tough because play- ers must know special tech- niques to win. One basketball toss uses an oval rim that mea- sures 18 by 1414 inches instead of the standard circular rim, which is 18 inches in diameter, said carny Dave Shifflett.

Police converged on the fraternity house in the early hours of Sept 2r to investi- gate rumors ot underage drinking. After entering, a male partv- goer interrupted the officers as they attempted to cite a female student for underage drinking, officials said. The male was told to leave the house by officers. When police checked the party- goer's name later, thev found a criminal record with three outstanding warrants against him. When they questioned Morris, he told officers he knew where the man lived, but refused to give them the address. Morris was jailed and released on bond. Students board train for class For professor Bob Anzenberger's marketing class, the morn- ing lecture became a moving experience aboard a morning commuter train. This marketing class, offered through Dean Community College, in Franklin, Mass has taken high-speed education to the rails. The class is taught three times a week aboard a one-hour train ride into Boston. Anzenberger uses a microphone to make himself heard and uses visual aides and handouts to compensate for the noisy, bumpy ride. He even has to stop his lecture every few minutes as the train conductor announces the name of the stops. Anzenberger said the students are highly motivated and the only delays have been at the terminals when other riders get off or on the train. The class was designed to help students who want to continue their education, but have limited time. College gets gift � 100 years later Gettysburg College recently received the biggest single gift in its history � $3.5 million � from a trust fund established by an 1893 graduate. Merle Stauffer Boyer's will stipulated that the college ultimately would receive all proceeds from a trust established to benefit his two children, Kathrvn and Donald, during their lifetimes. Boyer, a physician in Philadelphia, died in 1941. Kathryn died in 1979, and Donald died in 1993. They left no heirs, so the trust was dissolved and the proceeds were given to Gettysburg College. "What makes the Merle Boyer gift so special is that students who will make their mark on the world of the 21st century will have as their benefactor a graduate from the 19th century said college president Gordon Haaland.

By Angie DeRosia Staff Writer On Oct 19, representatives for the Walt Disney World Col- lege Program will hold an infor- mational session at 7 p.m. in room 1026 in the General Classroom Building. The program is open to all majors. In the Walt Disney World Summer College Program, stu- dents acquire paid work experi- ence in the leisure and entertain- ment industries at the Magic King- dom, Epcot Center, Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park or other Disney Resort areas. More than 1,000 students rrom 215 different colleges live together in apartments with inter- national students from Epcot Center's Cultural Representative program. While in the program, students will attend 10 weekly professional seminars. Jobs available include mer- chandising, food services, attrac- tions, transportation, custodians, lifeguards and hospitality posi- tions. Attendance at the informa- tional session is required to sched- ule and interview for Oct. 20. Radio service to begin Chapel Hill HS bans books CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) � Chapel Hill High School is sus- pending a literature class review of books by gay and lesbian writ- ers because the contents of some of the recommended works were sexually explicit. The move by Principal Charles Pa tteson came after a par- ent distributed to school officials photocopied excerpts from sev- eral recommended books that de- scribe gays and lesbians having sex. "It's not even appropriate for me to read it said Ruth Royster, a school board member. "I'm very disappointed that this reading list has been provided to our students Some of the books are ap- propriatebut the ones in question are not, Royster said. Limericks included in "The Gay Fireside Companion" de- scribe men having erections, en- gaging in sodomy, ejaculating, masturbating and having sex with young boys. The books are not required reading but are part of a list in the multicultural literature project to give students a starring point to choose authors they are studying. The students read books by au- thors who are gay or lesbian, femi - rust, Indian, black, Jewish Ameri- can, Hispanic American or Asian American. The course will be sus- pended today, Patteson told The Herald-Sun of Durham. Patteson said the unit taught by openly gay teacher David Bruton won't be included in the curriculum until a committee the principal appoints determines whether the reading list is appropriate. Parent Vickie Seng supplied the copied passages after object- ing to four books. Mary Bushnell, chairwoman of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education, and board member Ken Touw said the issue isn't ho- mosexuality but whether the ma- terial is appropriate. "Whether it was homosexual or heterosexual is not relevant Touw said. "This material is not appropriate. It's too sexually ex- plicit By Tammy Zion Staff Writer Now hear this! Pretty soon that is just what sight-impaired eastern North Carolina residents will be able to do. The Eastern North Carolina Radio Reading Service (ENC RRS), scheduled to begin broadcasting by mid-November, will transmit radio reports of local news to over 5,000 eastern North Carolina resi- dents who are unable to read newspapersor magazines because of visual impairments or severe handicaps. "I cannot tell you how ben- eficial this is going to be for sight- impaired people said Ramona VanNortwick, founder of ENC RRS. The service will broadcast from a studio in the Brody build- ing of ECU campus. The trans- mission will reach 10 counties in eastern N.C. and can be picked up by special radio receivers pro- vided free of charge by Services for the Blind. "Getting what you cannot on regular newscasts is how Dr. Ernest Phelps, ENC RRS coordi- nator, describes the service. Volunteers will read a wide variety of local news including advertisements, obituaries, reci- pes and even Dear Abby. Cur- rently, national news (Neiv York Times, Newsweek and etc.) is of- fered 24 hours a day. Until now, local news hasheenunavailable. The service works com- pleted through volunteer ef- forts, with the exception of one paid employee. Auditions are being held to recruit volunteer readers. The broadcasters will begin programming by reading live from The Daily Reflector for about an hour in the morning, the shows will bebroadcastagain later each day. "The whole idea is that it's a community project said Phelps. Over $25,000 has been raised throughout the area in order to make the ENC RRS pos- sible. Organizations such as the United Way, Burrough's Wellcome, the Pitt County Com- missioners, the Lions Founda- tion, the Kiwanna's Club and other professionals have all helped to support the ENC RRS. Money is presently being sought not only for the purchase of ra- dio receivers, but also for the production costs. "It's an effort that is going to be very rewarding. A lot of work has gone into it said VanNortwick. VanNortwick is hoping to continue expansion of the ser- vice to offer cooking shows, book readings, exercise classes and other beneficial programs. All news writers are fabulous people. If you remember this one thing, you will go far in life. Staff meeting on Thursday.

"You've got students with cubicles in the hallways trying to get access. How do you come to school and get an education with- out access to books? You want to read a book, or you need a book for your research. So you have to say to the librarian 'What time is the next truck going to the ware- house7 Sign my book on the list and when the truck gets back, bring it to me Is that a way to educate our students?" Fitch asked. The reason the General As- FAIR sembly is using bonds to fund the universities and other projects is economics. Because interest rates are low, and North Carolina has a favorable bond rating, Fitch said issuing bonds is preferable to ap- propriating the funds outright. Fitch praised the younger generation and especially theCol- lege Democrats. "I'm excited about the way this organization is leading the way on campus. I differ from a lot of folks my age who say T don't know where this younger generation isgoing. They don't want nothing. They ain't going to do nothing, and they ain't going to participate in noth- ing I don't believe that. I never have Concluding his remarks, Fitch made one last appeal on behalf of the bond.

Everyone wins, for ex- ample, at the crayon game. For $2, players throw darts until they hit a picture of a big crayon. Then, they are awarded a 4-foot-long balloon shaped like a crayon that costs the operator about 75 cents, said Mark Popovich, concessions manager for the James E. Strates Shows, which manages the mid- way. "All you're doing is buy- ing a balloon Bellamy said. N.C. State University base- ball standout and St. Louis Car- dinal player Tracy Woodson tested his considerable skills at the fair at the request of The News & Observer of Raleigh. He spent $34 and walked away with sev- eral hundred dollars worth of prizes on Friday. "They're winnable. You've got to say that said Woodson, who won seven of the 11 games he tried. He picked up six big stuffed animals and two gold- fish. The pyramid of three milk bottles he knocked down is con- sidered one of the midway's hardest games. So is the bushel basket toss, where a player must throw two softballs into a slanted basket without having them roll out. But Woodson said it was tips provided by the game op- erators that helped him win. At the bottle toss, carny Bill Bradley told Woodson most prizes are won by young people because their throws are more level than throws by taller adults. Woodson, who stands 6- foot-3, said, "So i threw almost sidearm so I was almost even At the basket throw, a carny told Woodson that softballs would fly out unless they first hit the basket near the rim. After three tries, Woodson won a stuffed dog. Woodson also won prizes throwing balls at beer bottles and plastic plates � games in which someone with an accurate throw would have an advantage. He also picked up a 3-foot purple-and-white stuffed mouse after lofting a softball on his sec- ond try into a milk can 5 feet away. "I can't believe it Woodson said. He's played games at fairs, carnivals and amusement parks for years, "but all I ever won was that measly little stuff Woodson lost at a pool game, failing to sink four balls. He was unable to pick up a beer bottle with a ring suspended from a stick, and he lost at a second bushel-basket toss. Odds aren't good of taking home a prize from most games. The ring toss has been a midway staple for decades. Play- ers pay a dime for small plastic rings, which they aim for the necks of hundreds of pop bottles standing upright on the ground. There is only one winner out of every 1,000 rings thrown, said John Willis, a game opera- tor. Willis said the game doesn't generate as much profit as it might seem. For every $100 in revenue, half goes for barkers and mid- way rent. Additional costs of transportation and insurance leave operators a $15 profit, Willis said. He said players can win by skipping the rings across bottle tops, instead of aiming for a par- ticular bottle. "Kids win more because they're closer than adults to the playing surface Willis said. Bellamy said he knows enough about the midway's odds to skip the games. "That's why I spend my money on the rides when I come to the fair Bellamy said. Continued from page 1 overwhelming turnout so that these bonds and the future of this state continue to move forward instead of standing still In an interview held earlier with The East Carolinian, Fitch said he is still undecided about run- ning for Congress. "We're still looking If we were to run, we would be running to win, not just running to run. I've never lost at anything in life except marbles. I wouldn't enter this race to lose he said. Fitch said this past session of the General Assembly will go down as one of the greatest in history. Among the record num- ber of laws passed were the bond referendum, a tuition increase, prison issues, rural economic de- velopment issues and the .08 blood alcohol level. The General Assembly also killed the proposed governor's veto power and the state lottery. "The only way I can explain the RED CROSS veto is that it is dead. I'm glad it is dead, because I don't think that's the way to go Fitch said. Though many have criti- cized Governor Hunt for not do- ing enough to attract Mercedes, Fitch said he did too much. Rather than promising $100 million worth of incentives, Fitch said North Carolina should have bought $100 million worth of stock in Mercedes, and would thus have had a say in where to build the new plant. Fitch also defended the job performance of President Clinton. "I think he has a hard job. People may expect a miracle overnight, but it will not occur He praised Clinton's budget and deficit reduction plan and his position on Somalia, but indicated that he would oppose a tax on tobacco to finance the health care plan.

It's time to push up your sleeve and donate again. The date is Thursday Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The place is Mendenhall Student Center. The blood received will be used for chemotherapy patients, people undergoing surgery, he- mophiliacs and accident victims in the Mid-Atlantic Region. There is a great need for A- negative, O-positive and O- negative blood. To donate, you must be 17, weigh 110 pounds and be in good health. This month's drive is spon- sored by the East Carolina Uni- versity Club. "On behalf of the Ameri- can Red Cross Blood Services and patients who benefit from blood donations, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Aerospace Studies Depart- ment and cadets who worked tirelessly in coordinating a very successful bloodmobile last month Monroe said. Monroe also wanted to thank the director of the stu- dent volunteer program.

Lejeune Marines sent to Gitmo HAVELOCK, N.C. (AP) � About 300 Camp Lejeune Marines of the 2nd Marine Division have been sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to heip enforce sanctions against Haiti. The troops will be sent to Haiti to protect American citizens who might be threatened and U.S. property, according to military officials. There are about 1,000 Americans in Haiti. "We have a mission to ac- complish, and we are going to go down and accomplish that mis- sion, and when we do it every- body will know about it said Pfc Heath Culberson of Lebanon, Ohio. The Marines are being rein- forced by a detachment from the Light Armored Vehicle Battalion as well as elements of several land- ing, medical and transport sup- port groups. The Marines and a compos- ite helicopter squadron from the nearby New River air station left Saturday. The squadron is composed of CH-53D, CH-53E, UH-1 and AH-1 helicopters. Earlier this year, as part of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, the company landed in So- malia. Afterward, they traveled to Kuwait for an operation. That ex- ercise was short-lived.

Responding to a question from the Board, Spangler said if the bond passes, ECU would re- ceive its money soon after. "The money is there. What will happen is the State Treasurer will sell the bonds immediately. Within six months almost all of the projects should be underway he said. Storrs pointed out that North Carolina bonds carry an A AA rat- ing and North Carolina is a low- debt state which makes it attrac- tive to investors. He didn't go as far to say the debt would not cause an increase in taxes in the future, however. "No one can commit a fu- ture legislature to do something, but the State Treasurer, usually a very conservative man, has stated that we shouldn't have to raise taxes. This could be an excuse, but not a reason Storrs said. golden corral STEAKS, BUFFET & BAKERY 504 SW Greenville Blvd � Greenville, NC 27834 Phone:(919)756-4412 GOLDEN CHOICE BUFFET INCLUDES: � Salad Makings �Prepared Salads � Potato Bar �Hot Meats � Bakery � Hot Vegetables �Specialty Items �Fresh Fruit �Dessert Bar �Carved Meats Nightly Steaks, Seafood & Chicken Entrees$2.99 - 6.99 Golden Choice BuffetLunch $4.99Dinner $5.29 "I I rgoiain corral i i i i L, r i i $1.00 OFF Celebrate Breakfast!

Who would have thought that the quaint little town we call home could be privy to an armed robbery and an at- tempted armed robbery, both of which occurred within three days of the other? And not only did they take place in the fair Emerald City, but on the ECU campus. Last Wednesday night, two students were confronted by two males in the parking lot of Chico's restaurant, who proceeded to follow the individuals onto campus, engaging in "lite" con- versation. The four walked together until they reached the secluded area between Flanagan and Student Health Services. The suspects then drew two weapons, one identified as a semi-automatic handgun and the other a handgun of some type. Both victims were ordered to lie on the ground, or they would be shot. It is estimated by the victims that more than $1,000 worth of gold jewelry was stolen. The second assault took place Saturday night behind the Rawl Annex, south of General Class- room Building. Twoblack males grabbed an Aycock resident walking by himself and pulled himbehind Rawl. The assailants then hit the victim's head against the wall and proceeded to punch him in the chest, arms and side areas. When the victim indi- cated that he had no money in his wallet, the assailants reached into their jackets as if they had guns and ordered the victim to the ground. Both of these incidents prove some very im- portant things: Greenville is not immune to violent acts and no one should get lulled into believing that they can walk the streets without harm. Gone are thedays when you couldeventhirikofleavingyour doorunlockedorwalkingdownadarkstreetalone. It's just not a pretty world out there, and unfortu- nately it takes incidents like these to wake some people up. An important point to make is that one of the assailants was in possession of a semi-automatic weapon. Now, excuse us for getting a little upset here, but honestly, there is no need in this world for semi-automatic weapons in the hands of anyone, and we challenge all readers to provide an instance where said semi-automatic weapon is necessary. It's hard to stomach the argument that Joe Redneck needs one to shoot Bambi's head off in the fierce sport that is hunting. It's not like the bear- deer-moose-duck is standing around with a bullet- proof vest and a semi-automatic of his own saying, "Come on, man, lay it on me. I'm ready for ya So the NRA gets in the middle of it, citing freedom of expression and other such misinterpre- tations of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is extended only to those situations having some "reasonable relationship" to the effi- ciency of a well-regulated militia. This obviously has nothing to do with private ownership of weap- ons (or does it, to NRA members?). The truth is, a ban on assault weapons (as proposed in the Brady Bill) is not only constitu- tional, but studies show it would also be effective. The argument has been made that criminals get their guns illegally, so why target legal sales? That argument doesn't float � in 1988, the Oakland Police Department found that only 12 of assault weapons seized in criminal activity were obtained illegally. Fully 88 of them were bought legally over the counter. Obviously the supply needs to be dried up as soon as possible, especially if we're faced, as Greenville residents, with the fact that semi-auto- matic weapons are here and being used on stu- dents. Wake up, everyone. This reality has found it's way into Greenville, and you're kidding yourself if you think its leaving anytime soon. Don't walk alone and call an escort in every situation, if pos- sible. By T. Scott Batchelor Old, usable books thrown out with trash One of the hot topics of lo- cal interest as the November elec- tions approach is the bond refer- endum which, if passed, will pro- vide funds for renovations to Joyner Library, among other things. At Saturday's Homecom- ing football game between ECU and Louisiana Tech, Pee-Dee sported a sticker urging us to vote "Yes" on the referendum. Ficklen Stadium's scrolling mes- sage board said the same thing. I have mixed feelings about the bond referendum. On the one hand I know Joyner Library and other schools in the UNC system need capital improvements. Yet, I also realize that we will have to pay for these improvements somehow, and as with most gov- ernment-run endeavors, there's sure to be a substantial amount of wasted revenues. One such area of waste is in the discarding of old but per- fectly usable books. I was brows- ing through my father's library the other day when I came across a womhardback copy of The Scar- let Pimpernel. Scrawled on the first page of the book was the single word "DISCARDED Probably thrown out of a high school li- brary a great number of years ago, I surmised. Leafing through the dingy pages grown brittle with age, that faintly sweet, old-book aroma wafted up into my face. Immedi- ately the affect waste of the lone word "DISCARDED" occurred to me. Here was a classic work of literature as viable today as it was when Orczy rested her pen from its completion, and someone had desecrated the book (apparently with great celerity, judging from the sloppy handwriting) with a stroke of a word. This nameless, faceless van- dal, now surely faded into the mist of time, proved on some warm summer day, as students filed onto buses for the last trip home of the school year, that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Why, I asked myself, was such wasteful and drastic action taken? A book is not a car, to be junked once the engine is eroded by friction; a novel contains no moving parts. Our fingers move to turn the pages, and our eyes move to read the lines written down, but the book is innocent. If the cover becomes ratty, or the pages brown and crinkled and lacking in aesthetic quality, then it is we who are deficient, lacking the ken to peer beyond these su- perficialities to the true meaning of the gift. What of a few torn pages or faded ink? What can these trifles amount to in the face of genuine Art, with a capital "A" as Sandburg would have it spelled? Thinking these things, I picked up the forgotten book with "DISCARDED" scratched inside and, gripping it firmly with both hands, left the study and made towards my home, where I placed the novel on my bookshelf. It rests there to this day, safe and appreci- ated. If the administrators of Joyner Library care about curtail- ing wastes such as this as much as I do, then I say we should vote for the bond referendum. At the very least we'll have more space to store old books which otherwise mightbe thrown out with the trash. THE DEATH Of THZ wfcirreN W0RD. KEAlfL-Mj By Brian Hall Bond referendum intricacies misleading On November 2 the voters of this state will decide whether to borrow $310 million for capital improvements at state universi- ties, about $29 million of which would be used to expand Joyner Library. While not questioning the necessity of library expansion, there are several reasons this pack- age should be rejected. First, since the state wants to borrow money, it must be short on funds. Nothing could be further from the truth. This state took in over $14.5 billion in fiscal 1993. If the state would only cut present spending by two-tenths of one percent, it could pay for our li- brary in just one year. Second, according to a pam- phlet from the University Board of Governors, we are assured by State Treasurer Harlan Boyles that "state taxes should not have to be raised to meet payments of inter- est and principal We have heard this one from politicians before. Two years ago in Charlotte, the city council promised that taxes would not have to be raised to pay for bonds. Last year Charlotte be- gan taxing rain that falls on houses. Third, once the government has this money, there is nothing to prevent it from spending the money any way it wishes. I know of at least two cases in just the past few years where bond money was spent on projects the voters did not approve. Finally, this same pamphlet says that North Carolina has a triple-A credit rating, which will keep the interest rate low. The in- ference being that borrowing is a good idea. Let me use an illustra- tion to disprove this. Suppose, to make the figures more understandable, we use an individual, making $20,000 a year after taxes, to represent the state. At that scale, all the university improvements would cost about $400. Our present state debt would be about $950. Joyner ex- pansion would cost about $40. So we have a person, $950 in debt, who needs to make $400 worth of repairs in the next few years. Which would be wiser? A) Bor- row the money and pay interest for many years to come, or B) Use $400 that this person would have spent on something else. Our representatives are try- ing to mislead us with these bonds. After all, who is going to vote against improving educa- tion? They hope that we will vol- untarily vote to increase spend- ing so that they don't have to make tough spending decisions. Letters to the Editor To the Editor Flip down your radio dial, and you'll hear any number of commercial radio formats on the air: Urban Contemporary, Classic Rock,Top40,Country,etc. These formats are dictated by such things as trends in record sales, advertising revenues, opinion polls, and the musi- cal tastes of the people in charge of radio stations. It's all a very complex system, designed not only to mirror the tastes of the public, but to predict and shape those tastes. Andifwe'renotcareful,WZMBmaysoonjointhat system. I've followed with great interest the saga of Beth Arthur as it's unfolded in recent editions of The East Carolinian. The accusation that Arthur has been sneaky in trying to change the format of our campus radio station seems to have struck a nerve. Arthur's written a venomous letter in reply to those accusations, and now in an October 7 headline article, she attempts to set the record straight. Exceptshedoesn't, really. Arthur says,inher letter, "I have not discussed this with the staff at WZMB, because I have not finished researching the subject of a format change Then, in the Oct. 7 article, we are told that Arthur said she spoke with the program director of WZMB, Lee Judge. Now wait a minute. Either she talked to somebody on the WZMB staff or she didn't. What gives? But this is only the first puzzling thing about the story. If Arthur hasn't "finished researching the subject then why did she, as the Oct. 7 article states, discuss a format change with the Media Board? Why, in fact, did she suggest Urban Contemporary and Country as for- mat options? She felt comfortable enough with her research to discuss these matters with her bosses but not her employees? Right. Arthur also talks about the stations played To the Editor: In last Thursday's issue of The East Carolinian, Gregory Dickens lamented the role of men in our society and their continued struggle with the scourge of politi- cally correct behavior. He may be pleased to know that a strong resistance is forming to confront the faulty logic of PC and that men are now able to walk upright once more. Inrecenttelevisionadvertisingforapopularmen's cologne, a female voice asks longingly, "where have you guysbeen?"The manufacturer then asserts, with images of virility, that, "menareback Andin themindsof most women, not a day too soon. The Brut commercial is one of many indicators tha t sexually secure women desire a comeback of the tradi- tional male persona. They have grown restless with the "sensitive" man who nibbles on quiches and cries on command. And they shun the impotenceof the Eighties' male who dribbles Lord Byron, now favoring the more penetrating stanzas of Garth Brooks. It's no headline that scores of good men have been missing in action for years; held in detention by a small but vicious amazon assault squad and terrorized for their inherent masculine ways. The resurrection of the American male is a potent reaction to the doctrine of these hellborn feminists and the crescendo lies of Anita onthecampusbussystem,citingKISS102asapopular choice. "That tells me something she said. It tells me something, too. The buses play the most inoffensive music they can. They want Elevator Music, something so bland that no one could possibly complaui about it Elevator Music KISS 102 Yeah, that tells me a lot. I also have a hard time buying Arthur's claim thatAltemativeandReggaewillcontinuetobeplayed, when she's talking about going Country. I seriously doubt you're going to hear a Clint Black tune followed by the Revolting Cocks' "Steers, Beers, and Queers But what an image that is, huh? What it comes down to is mis: Beth Arthur and Lee Judge have both expressed a personal dislike for alternative music, and they're in charge. Never mind that anyone who wants to hear mainstream music can turn toadozen other frequencieson the dial thatsound better than WZMB ever will. Never mind that Alterna- tive Music has no other outlet (along with the Reggae, Jazz, Heavy Metal, and other styles WZMB plays). Never mind that Greenville has a fairly large popula- tion of Alternative music fans who are being serviced by WZMB and no one else. Arthur has proposed a survey to decide the fate of WZMB. But Alternativepeople are not likely to take any survey very seriously. So I'd like to make a plea to all the freaks (and non-freaks) reading mis. For once, suppress those subversive tendencies. Don't give an obviously fake name. Don't put Gregorian Chants down as your music choice. Taike this seriously, and save East Carolina's only dissenting voice, WZMB. Mark Brett Graduate Student English Hill. During the last ten years, simply being male has been more often condemned than condoned in lefty communes like state university campuses. Most have created complex credos designed to portray even the most well-intentioned Romeo as a slobbering lecher. Here,manyinnocentmenhavebeen executed in public for felonious acts like office flirtation or referring too openly to their heterosexual ideals. Minor offenders are usually spared the gallows, butmustendurea rigorous deprogramrningsequence.This usually consistsofhelp- ful lessons in politically correct courting rituals and big, tasty doses of women's studies. Consequently, our schools have seta patlietic standard for society's general view of men. During the next decade, we can expect to see a Renaissance of the man's man and all the trappings that set him apart from the milquetoast variety of the late. He'll be confident in his chivalrous acts and natural masculine demeanor, and he'll know that Byron makes a great blotter for the beer spilled in passion in the backseat of his Chevrolet.

From left to right, Jim Mankey, Johnette Napolitano and Harry Rushakoff. Mexican Moon hit stores two weeks ago. By Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer Concrete Blonde has always been the voice from the other side, the dark chil- dren of Los Angeles' sunny skies. With unflinching rage and passion, they record events that would otherwise slip by un- noticed. Their songs are often about the things that happen in the back of people's minds. They take ugly truths and mix them with beautiful melodies, making the experience universal. Mexican Moon, their fifth album, and first with Capitol Records, retains the ex- citing intensity of their sound. Dramatic and serious, this album is the perfect fol- low-up to Walking in London, their fourth endeavor. Before that album, Concrete Blonde had been on the road almost con- stantly. There were hard times with manage- ment hassles and record company prob- lems. A couple of the band's members decided to do outside projects. Singer Johnette Napolitano took a break from her native L. A. to experience London and Europe, hoping to renew her creativity. She decided to come home after the un- fortunate L.A. riots. Napolitano returned with a slew of songs that turned into Walking in London. After the success of that album, she bought a house and involved herself in community service. And with time to spare, she started work on Mexican Moon. Concrete Blonde was again a very close unit. Jim Mankey had remained con- stant as guitarist, and drummers Harry Rushakoff and Paul Thompson both ap- pear on the album. "I've finally come to terms with what I do Napolitano says. "I used to think, 'rock�who cares?' But I love what I do. I'm supposed to be doing this, you know?" Johnette Napolitano was meant for her profession. After listening to Mexican Moon, I'm sure many others would agree. I instantly took a liking to the fast-paced first song, "Jenny I Read And as if that song wasn't catchy enough, the enduringly romantic title track followed. Each song seemed to have a different sound, which kept me very interested. "Rain" is the perfect showcase for Napolitano's beautiful voice. "I Call it Love" and "Jesus Forgive Me" are songs definitely more centered around Jim Mankey's smashing guitar talent. The loneliness of constant travel is revealed in the empowering "Close to Home To wrap up this wonderfully diverse piece of work is "Bajo la Lune Mexicana which is a second version of the title track sung in Spanish. "I've always wanted to sing in Span- ish Napolitano says. The song is a trib- ute to her favorite country. Mexican Moon is an enjoyable treat. Even if alternative music isn't your per- sonal favorite, listeners can find at least one song on this album that touches their fancy�if not a song, then the funny cover design displaying two skeletons tearing it up on the dance floor. There's an even better reason to buy it: give it to someone as a Halloween gift! Magician performs dying art By Laura Wright Assistant Lifestyle Editor When you hear the word "magic what comes to mind? Do you think of spells, card tricks, hypnosis, witchcraft, psychic powers or rabbits in top hats? Magician Gary Shelton, of New Bern, N.C claims that all types of magic de- pend upon the magician's ability to con- vince an audience to believe the unbe- hevable. "When I control you in my arena he said, "I'm in control On Thursday, Oct. 14, Shelton per- formed before Dr. Frank Farmer's hon- ors English class, "Love, Magic and Per- suasion: Rhetorics Old and New The purpose of his visit was to provide a demonstration of how language plays a key role in the creation of a successful illusion. Shelton does a comedy routine as well as "small hand magic, no swords through ladies, no vanishing elephants He has won the "Tonight Show" competition for magic and his comedy has been performed on "David Letterman According to Shelton, magic is al- most a lost art and there are only around 10,000 performing magicians in America. Among the most famous members of this shrinking population are Harry Anderson (of "Night Court" fame), David Copperfield and Johnny Carson. See Magician page 7 Robert Cray falls back on the blues By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer The Robert Cray Band will release its eighth musical arrange- ment this fall. Robert Cray has come into his own with Shame & A Sin; and in this album, he has re- turned to the basic formula of his roots, the blues. Although he has been on the scene for 20 years, Cray's break- through came with his 1986 debut on the Mercury-Hightone label. The album Strong Persuader won him a Grammy and yielded two international'iiK "mokingGun" and "Right Next Door (Because of Me) He followed with the al- bums Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1988), Midnight Stroll (1990) and Was Warned (1992), all of which have helped his steady growing popularity with fans and critics alike. The past seven albums have not been so attentive to the purity ot the blues. Cray has drawn from many genres in the past: r & b, rock, pop, jazz and gospel all in- fluence much of his previous work. But in the case of Shame & A Sin, the feeling is strictly straight-up, 12-bar blues, the music that is the soul of America. Some arti .s seem to be lean- ing away from the over-produc- tion that is the curse of the 90s. Many of Cray's past excursions have been an entity of much stu- dio production, but not this time. "We didn't go for the big produc- tion thing says Cray. "We went down to a small studio and just had a good time It's easy to tell this when listening to the CD; the sound is pure and unfiltered. Some of the songs on this re- lease mix modern subject matter with the aged methods of the blues. "1040 Blues" and "I'm Just Lucky That Way" aresongs tailor- made for the recession-struck 90s. Most of us have had a good dose of the 1040 blues and long for the day when we can tell the boss to kiss off, because we just hit the lottery. However, most of the songs adhere to the standards of the blues subject matter. Heart break, infidelity and an insatiable long- ing for the opposite sex are the archetypal notions that the blues convey so well. "I Shiver "Don't Break this Ring" and "Leave Well Enough Alone" are new compo- sitions with all the feel of old stan- dards. World famous music visits Emerald City Staff Reports Photo courtesy of Polygram Records Robert Cray has done it again. In his new album Shame and a Sin, Cray explores his roots to bring a blues melody back into the new tunes. Cray has hit a new level of artistry with Shame & A Sin. There are few, if any, artists of this cali- ber in modern music. Citing Cray's role in the continuation of the blues, Eric Clapton told Rolling Stone: "It's really down to Robert Cray. He's the only player I know who's absolutely, totally authenticTf you like the blues (and I don't see how anyone could dislike it), this one is for you. Freddy Jones Band debuts By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer The Freddy Jones Band has its roots in the heartland of America. The ban is a Chicago-bred quintet that has been playing the Midwest forsometimenowandhaspickedup a strong following along with a best- selling independent release. I Inthelateeighties,WayneHealy and Marty Lloyd met as college stu- dents in Indiana and began playing together, feeding off of each other's musical talent and wide-ranging musical tastes. These two guitarist became the band's founding mem- bers. They were soon joined by bass- ist Jim Bonaccorsi, drummer Simon Harrocks. Jim's brother, Rob, joined as the third guitarist and fifth mem- ber of the group. After their gigs on thissummer's Hp.R.D.E. tour, The Freddy Jones Band decided to get down to busi- ness and make a studio album. The result is Waiting For The Night, the band's debut on Capricorn Records. This album has manv stand out The Freddy Jones Band originals like 'Take the Time "In A Daydream" and the countryblues fusion ballad "Dixie Dynamite There is even a remake of a blues classic, "Crosscut Saw which has been changed to fit the band's own upbeat sound. One of the best things you can say about a band is that it is hard to classify. The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and Blues Traveler all bring to mindbothiock'n'roll and country. A new sound�check it. 'Demolition Man' explores future with cliched action, lines By Ike Shibley Staff Writer In the year 1996, a cop named John Spartan apprehends a notori- ous criminal named Simon Phoe- nix. In the year 2032,both men meet again in a peaceful future not big enough for the both of them. In Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays John Spartan and Wesley Snipes plays Simon Phoe- nix. The pairing seems destined to score huge points with the action crowd, and the plot synopsis given above is designed todraw in movie- goers anxious to see the clash be- tween these "sworn enemies The film opens with a frenetic scene taking place in a dilapidated section of Los Angeles whereSimon Phoenix holds 30 people hostage. JohnSpartan, the "demolition man decides to take matters into his own hands and single-handedly cap- tures Phoenix. In the process of bringing Phoenix into custody, an entire warehouse explodes and crushes the hostages who are still inside. Though Phoenix caused the explosion, Spartan takes the heat because he disobeyed police proce- dure. Phoenix is sentenced to eter- nity in cryo-prison while Spartan receives a seventy-year sentence. The cryo-prison of the future in- volves freezing the prisoners and reprogramming them for the good of society by giving them messages during their years on ice. Despite the lack of rationale be- hind the cryo-prison�why not just kill Phoenix instead of wasting the energy to keep him frozen forever. The situation caused by the frozen storage allows Simon Phoenix to escape from his prison in the year 2032. After he escapes, the only way the police of the future know how to See FILM page 7 The East Carolinian Three major masterpieces of Russian symphonic music will be presented by the Bolshoi Sym- phony Orchestra on the stage of ECU's Wright Auditorium Mon- day, Nov. 1, beginning at 8 p.m. Under the baton of con- d u c t o r Alexander Lazarev, the orchestra will perform Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov's Cap r iccio Espagnole, Opus 34; Sergei Rachmaninoffs Symphonic Dances, Opus 45; and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovshy's Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Opus 74, the Pathetique. The Bolshoi performance is part of ECU'S 1993-94 University Unions Performing Arts Series. The Bolshoi Symphony Or- chestra, headquartered at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre, has been a state institution in Russia since 1806. It has specialized in the works of Russian composers for much of its history�music byboththegreatpre-Revolution- ary composers and those of the Soviet regime, such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich. For several de- cades, the orchestra has been noted as one of the most popular symphony orchestras in coun- tries of the former comprised the Soviet Union. The orchestra includes some 300 musicians, among them many outstanding performers who appear in ensembles and as soloists both in Russia and abroad. The orchestra has toured throughout Europe and Japan, and two years ago, it appeared with the Bolshoi Opera at two famed American venues: the Wolf Trap Farm Park and the Metropolitan Opera House. Theorchestra'schief conduc- tor, Alexander Lazarev, studied Alex Lazarw, conductor of the Bolshoi Symphony, will bring orchestra music to Wright. at the Leningrad and Moscow Conservatories and won first prize in the Karajan Competi- tion in Berlin in 1972. During the past 20 years, he has con- ducted nearly all the great op- eras and ballets of the European and Russian repertoire at the Bolshoi The- atre. He has also been a regular guest con- ductor with t h e Leningrad Philhar- monic and the USSR State Sym- phony, with whichhehas made re- cordings re- leased under the Melodia label. Out- side the former Soviet Union, he has worked with major orches- tras in 25 nations, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Orchestre National de France. His 1993-94 schedule fea- tures concerts with three British orchestras: the BBC Sym- phony�of which he was re- cently appointed principal guest conductor, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Scottish National Orchestra.

Time misdirection allows Shelton to re- veal how he did a trick after enough time has passed so that the viewer will not be able to reconstruct the event. Shelton also exposed some magical scams.

The East Carolinian 7 FILM Continued from page 6 deal with Phoenix is to than Spar- tan. Demolition Man tries its best to be more than a typical shoot-em-up action picture, but aside from a few bits of humor, it does not succeed. The sets look like they were bor- rowed from some futuristic TV show, i.e. they look cheap. The dia- logue is clunkier man usual in these types of pictures and the preposter- ousness of the various fist and gun battles boggles the imagination. The villains in this film areeven poorer shots than most bad guys in action films. Phoenix has Spartan directly in front of him several times yet never even wings him. Though movie-goers have come to expect invincibility in their heroes, the ab- surdity of Demolition Man wears thin. Why can't the filmmakers just avoid giving Phoenix so many chances to aim his gun directly at Spartan? Stallone plays his usual self, which is meant as neither criticism nor praise. He grunts and slurs words and occasionally zips in a one-liner, so he gives a performance that fits the role. Snipes does little more than snarl throughoutthe film. He has a limited number of lines which results in little character de- velopment. Plot elements are addressed haphazardly in Demolition Man. After he is released from cryo- prison, Spartan questions the po- lice about his wife and daughter. They tell Spartan about his wife but not his daughter. Once, an of- ficer (Sandra Bullock, a former ECU student) tries to locate her, butSpar- tan stops her because he is not sure if he wants to see his little girl in a world that he dislikes. His daugh- ter is never again mentioned even at the end of the film, when the future looks to be changing for the better. Demolition Man does demon- strate a pleasant comedic touch that distracts the viewer from much of the preposterousness taking place on screen. Spartan complains that he cannot find any toilet pa- per, and the entire precinct breaks outlaughing,becauseSpartandoes not know how to use the "three shells Spartan calmly walks to a machine that monitors language. The machine issues demerits by spirting out a sheet of paper for every profanity uttered. Spartan cursesnon-stop until enough sheets have come out to obviate his need for toilet paper. If Demolition Man teaches any- thing about cinema, it is that good action pictures are almost as diffi- cult to make as good comedies. Paul Verhoeven made Total Recall look so easy that the audience some- times forgets how much artistry is involved in crafting iirst-rate fu- turistic action picture that is not mired in cliches.

All shows are at The Ritz in Raleigh. NEW YORK (AP) � The pro- ducers of "Scientific American Frontiers" got more than they bar- gained for in Alan Alda, their host for the fourth season of their monthly science magazine show on PBS. "I'm at a point in my life where I can do things that are interesting to me. I feel it's my reward said Alda, a five-rime Emmy winner for "M-A-S-H" as actor, writer and director. On the Oct. 18th season pre- miere, titled "Bionics and Superhumans Alda gleefully gets himself strapped into a mechani- cal exoskeleton called a "springwalker Lo and behold, it's the bionic man! Looking like an extra in "RoboCop" or "Aliens Alda leams how to lope about in the device. Its designers hope one day to create a powered suit that would let humans carry heavy loads over rough terrain � at 25 mph. Alda also visits experimental programs for paraplegics. They lit- erally plug themselves into por- table computers that fire sequences of electrical impulses into their muscles, letting them stand, walk, even climb steps. This is still basic research in its early stages, but we also get to meet people who are direct benefi- ciaries of bionics: We encounter a man whose failing heart is augmented by an electric, air-driven pump while he awaits a human transplant, and another man who "sees" his grand- son for the first time through pro- totype "electronic glasses" that compensate for his visual impair- ment. "I love science said Alda. "I particularly like looking at an as- pect of the world through the eyes of several different disciplines. That gives you a fresh perspective and, at the same time, lets you grasp the 1?ig picture The Nov. 3 program moves to Germany, where Alda rides the autobahn in a car that guides itself and examines the problem of recy- cling two million Trabants � the tiny, two-cycle East German cars built before reunification. December's program looks at science-based competitions, includ- ing the race across America in solar- powered cars; January'sshow looks at "rescues" in the natural and manmade world, and February's looks at the science of baseball. Educators should know that "Scientific American Frontiers" also has a classroom outreach pro- gram, giving teachers off-air tap- ing rights "in perpetuity In addition, teachers' guides with reproducible classroom activies for each show are avail- able. Alda says he is intrigued by what he calls "the emotive power of science and tried to leamabout science by reading journals like Scientific American for more than 25 years. "For years, science has been regarded as dull and nerdy he said. "It's almost been a way of identifying yourself as an Ameri- can � to know nothing.

Artist Mark Balma reaches back to Renaissance fresco for meduim MINNEAPOLIS (AP) � In the steel and glass heart of the city, amid the glare and glitz of cold, bold build- ings, Mark Balma reached back to the Renaissance for tools to give form to a vision. It slowly has taken shape on the arched atrium ceiling of the Univer- sity of St. Thomas, in the rich earth pigments of Michelangelo's era: golden ochre from central Europe, red sinopia from Greece, black from charred grapevine, cobalt blue from Germany�allpaintedonplasterrhe stark white of bleached bone. When it's finished, it will be one of the largest public frescoes in the United States. Four of seven panels spanning the 17-by-112-foot ceiling are complete; Balma will return next summer to do the last three. The $700,000 project is a labor of art and spirit for the 36-year-old Balma, who grew up in a Minneapo- lis suburb and lives near Assisi, Italy. He's oneof a handful of artists work- ing in an ancient medium known as the mother of all painting. Like fresco masters of the Re- naissance, he's using the form to con- vey a spiritual message�in this case, the seven virtues outlined by univer- sity namesakeStThomasof Aquinas: faith, justice, prudence, hope, tem- perance, fortitude and charity. The finished panels representan eclectic blend of religious traditions. A turtle � symbol of the Earth in American Indian spirituality � car- ries a human family in the panel de- picting creation, or faith. A scholar confronts a dragon�an Asian sym- bol of enlightenment � in the panel illustrating prudence.

I'mnotthe type of person thatgetsall stressed out so I just enjoy myself So far this season things have notbeenquiteasenjoyblefor Letcher and the rest of the Pirates, as injuries on both sidesof the ball have slowed the team toa2-4 record justover half- way through theseason. Letcher says that spirits have remained high on the team. "Yeah, the attitude has stayed positi veeven aftera coupleof losses Letcher said. "Four losses. You can kind of feel the tension of someone wanting to speak up and say some- thing but we are just going to let it ride. We are just going to take it from there and see howitgoes because we are a team. We still have some games left this year. I think that it's very important to have a winning season this year, especially in terms of re- cruiting. It's no fun being in a losing season. Last year was probably my first losing season since little league. Recruits look to see if a team has had a winning record One of the biggest adjustments that Letcher has had to deal with this season is the insertion of a newstartingquarterback. After an injury put Marcus Crandell out for the year, red-shirt fresh- man Chris Hester took over as the starter. Letcher says that the switch wasashockatfirst,butthatwithtime things will get better. "The change hasan effect on us because they are like two different kindsof quarterbacks Letcher said. "Marcus was a real mobile QB that could find you in the pocket. Chris is kind of yccing, so he tends to get nervous back there in the pocket So, once he gets in a lot of repetitions at practice, he will be all right I'm just trying to adjust to him by getting plenty of repetitions.

Mak- ing his first collegiate start for the Pirates was true freshman Perez Mattison, who was called to re- place starter Chris Hester. Hester will likely miss the rest of the sea- son due to surgery on his thumb. The win moves the Pirates record to 2-4 on the season, but to head coach Steve Logan this game was a crucial stepping-stone for ECU football. "It would have been nice to go out there and win this game 40-to- nothing today Logan said. "After the game I told my team that I was glad to win the way we did. We could have folded, but we played hard. This game could really start us in the right direction. After ev- ery loss this season, I've said that what's inside these kids is good. This victory rewards their efforts The Pirates received the open- ing kick-off and started their first drive of the game with a disap- pointing three-and-out. A short pun t by Bill Wilson gave the Bull- dogs good field position to start their first drive. On their third play from scrimmage, Tech run- ning back Jason Cooper ran wide left past the ECU defense and into the end zone. With the Bulldogs gaining the early 7-0 lead, it was time for Mattison to step up and lead the offense. Mattison led the Pirates down the field with the help of a high catch by sophomore half- back Jerris McPhail to give ECU the first down. After a 27-yard completion by wide-out Morris Letcher, the rest was up to run- ning back Junior Smith. Smith ca ught a 26-yard gain on a screen pass to put the Pirates in scoring position, and, on first and goal from the seven, Smith followed a key block by offensive tackle Ken Carroll to find the end zone. The Bulldogs ran the kick- off back to their own 38-yard line after poor coverage from special teams. ECU got a big play on second-and-six, whenTechquar- terback Jason Martin threw an interception to linebacker Reggie Robinson, who ran the ball back See FOOTBALL page 10 Spikers hang tough in win ByBradOldham Staff Writer East Carolina volleyball got a big win Friday night, coming from behind to beat Virginia Commonwealth 15-8,14-16,5-15, 15-13. "You just don't get much more exciting games than this ECU head coach Martha McCaskill said after the game. "It really was an up and down match. We came through when it counted though. We missed way too many serves tonight. We were playing inconsistent, but we found a way to re-group to get the win In game one, ECU started off on fire, scorching nine straight points before VCU got on the board. The Rams got on a hot streak themselves, though, and brought the score to 9-6. The Pi- rates held them off with good front-court coverage and block- ing at the net. The Rams would score just two more points in the game, as the Pirates went on to win game one 15-8. In game two, the Pirates rolled with good play from Car- rie Brne.

It was also during his days at Stone- wall where Finck played his most memorable game.

Behind the running of Dava and Tara Rhodes for the women and Sean Connolly for the men, both teams posted some of their best individual and team perfor- mances in Pirate history. Leading the way with a top- five finish was half of the twin combination, Dava Rhodes, who turned in a time of 18:00, a per- sonal best.

VCU still did not quit. After coming hack to tie the score at 14, the Rams kept the pressure on, and came through at the end to win the game 16-14. The match was tied at one game each. In game three, the Pirates were obviously down from los- ing the prior game. It showed as VCU jumped on the Pirates from the start, taking an early 9-2 lead. The Rams controlled the entire tempo of the game. Losing 13-5, ECU called a time-out to try to putsomething together, but it was toolate. The Rams won in a romp, 15-5. Virginia Commonwealth now led two games to one. The Pirates came back to life in game four. It wasa hard fought game by both teams. The Pirates play was sparked by outside hit- ter MelanieRichards, who helped keep the team focused duringthe game. With the score tied at 12, ECU applied pressure. The Pi- rates dominated the net and jumped ahead of the Rams to take game four 15-13. The scene was set for a dra- matic game five. Tied at two, both teams were obviously playing on adrenaline alone. VCU played tough early, getting a 6-1 lead. fhis caused the Pirates to play G i ten- up the rest of the game. East Carolina rallied back, scoringsix straight points to take the lead, 7- 6. A time-out called by the Rams gave Kith teams a chance to get ready for the final stretch. In an extremely action- packed game, the Pirates got great play again from Brne, who helped ECU get a 12-10 lead. Chances to put the game away were blown three straight times by ECU, who failed to execute on serves when it counted. The Rams capitalized on the errors, and brought the score back to 12-11. ECU called a time-out with their one-point lead. With two very questionable net calls by the officials, VCU moved out in front to 13-12. The Pirates didn't cave in though. They roared back to tie the game at 13. ECU got the break they needed, and with game-point on the I ine, the Pi rates' Gwynn Baber served what appeared to be the game-winning point. A call from the official said otherwise, saying that an ECU player was touching the net. At 14-13, Richards took control and got a spike which gave the Pi- rates a 15-13 win and the match. The Pirates will travel to Washington, D.C. on Oct. 22 to play American University.

"The twins ran awesome to day, especially Dava Assistant Head Coach Charles Justice said. "As a team, we really stepped it up today. They ran the way they had to in order to earn a top five finish A top-five finish would have definitely been in thecards if not for a couple of key injuries which slowed the Pirates. Stacy Green ran with an injury that has plagued her the entire year, but still ran well, managing overall 31st place. Perhaps the deciding factor in SOCCER Continued from page 8 the race was the performance of Cathrine Norstrand. Consistently a top performer and scorer for the Pirates, Norstrand cramped up se- verely and dropped several places. Unfortunately, this uncontrollable incident helped contribute to an overall sixth-place finish in a field of 18 teams that included the top teams in the state. For the men, finishing 12th overall in a field of 19 was a big accomplishment. Sean Connolly had the best fin- ish ever for an EastCarolina runner in the meet.

A pair of sophomores from Sanderson High School in Raliegh, Drew Racine and Dan Staton, ac- counted for the next two goals, put- ting the Bucs up3-0. Racinesmacked a shot past Hook into the top left corner while Staton's team-high eighth goal came off a penalty kick. Fightin' Christian forward Dave Myers' penalty kick made the score 3-1 at the end of the first half. How- ever, from then on, it was all ECU thanks to the seniors. Brian Harpole increased the score to 4-1 of fan assist from fellow senior Mike Beck.

Mattison hurt his thumb on the play after banging it against a helmet. The thumb injury gave Mattison problems through- out the remainder of the game, but he continued to play. Agood stand on defense forced a punt on Tech's following posses- sion. An illegal block in the back pushed ECU back to their 23-yard line. After the Ti ra tes were forced to punt, the Bulldogs' offense had trouble against a tough Tirate de- fense led by linebackers Mark Libiano and Morris Foreman. A 33- yard field goal by Tech kicker Chris BoniolputtheBulldogswithin four. Perez Mattison showed his mobility on the Pirates next drive. Mattison ran for 28 yards as the Pirates had seven first downs in 13 plays. On first-and-goal from the nine, Mattison lofted the ball to McPhail in thecomerof theendzone to give the Pirates a 21-10 lead. ECU continued its abysmal special teams performance for the day on the kick-off, allowing Tech to start from their 45-yard line. Again it was the Pirate defense making up for the special teams, as Tech was forced to punt from the ECU 40-yard line. On the Pirates next drive, Mattison and company got to the Tech nine where kicker Chad Holcomb booted a field goal to make the score 24-10. A Tech field goal before the end of the first half gave the Pirates a 24-13 lead going into the lockeroom. The Pirates offense continued their history of having trouble scor- ing points in the third quarter. Tech scored the only points of the quar- ter on a touchdown pass to wide receiver Chad Mackey. Tech tried for the two-point conversion but failed on the plav, making the score 24-19. The fourth quarter started on a downnole for thePirates. On third- and-three from their own 29, Mattison was hit and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Tech defensive end Demetrius Fowles. "That fumble was the only big disappointment for Perez on the day � I take total blame on that play, it was a bad call on my part Logan said. The Pi rate defense held Tech to a field goal after the fumble, making the score 24-22. The Bui ldogs' defense forced a three and outbyECU,and on Tech's next drive, Jason Cooper ran the ball to the Pirate 19-yard line. A Tech touchdown run by Billy Tho- mas gave Tech the 28-24 lead. Again the Bulldogs went for two, and again they failed. After the TD, the special teams finally saw a bright spot. Mitchell LETCHER iallowa) caught the kick-off and made a great run, returning the ball to tlie ECU 44-yard line. Thefollovv- ingplay proved tobe the play of the game. "1 told Perez to throw to Jerris, whether he was covered or not 1 a )ga n s.i id. "1 know they had geared to stop Smith and Crumpler, so I used McPhail Mattison found McPhail down the middle of the field where he ran for the 56-yard touchdown. "1 know that no linebacker in the country has the speed of McPhail Mattison said. "I felt if 1 could just get him the ball, the play would result in a touchdown An interception by Morris Fore- man secured the victory for the Pi- rates 31-28. The player of the game for the Pirates was Perez Mattison. Hecom- pleted 18 of 29 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns. Martison's yardage numbers were a record for freshmen at ECU. Only four other QBs in ECU history have passed for more yards in a single game. An- other bright spot for the Pirateswas theplay of linebacker Mark Libiano, who returned after suffering a knee injury. "It felt good to be back. We played asa team this week Libiano said. "Theoffense played good and that reallyhelpedusdeliver. Every- one was really pleased after the game. Weall know weshould have more wins, but this season can't be trashed because of a few losses As with every game, certain aspects of the team still need more work. "Our special teams was aw- ful. Italmostcostusa football game. It's stupid to clip somebody in the back. It's really ridiculous Logan said. Aknee injury to Morris Letcher in the third quarter is once again going to force Logan to put in younger players in substitution.
