I &PPP JlaUotoeeit! From the staff of The East Carolinian & The East Carolinian Vol. 68 No. 62 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, October 28,1993 20 Pages Law enforcement prepares for Halloween Photo courtesy of Matthew MacOonald Those of you that plan on stalking the Great Pumpkin Halloween night may be a tad bit confused if you decide to wait in this pumpkin patch. These pumpkins are HUGE. Students urged to party responsibly By Laura Allard Staff Writer Greenville City Police and ECU Campus Police are planning a regular weekend for this Hal- loween. Students are encouraged to go out Saturday night instead of Sunday, although extra police will be on duty both nights. Major Simonowich, Green- ville City police officer said, "We have planned i normal Saturday night only with extra man power to compensate for the extra people "The streets will not be blocked off unless the sidewalks get too crowded and the situation becomes unsafe Simonowich reminds stu- dents that all la ws will be enforced and all students drinking in pub- lic will be asked to hand over their drinks and may be asked to leave. Officers will also be patrol- ling the areas leading to down- town to check students on their way downtown. Public Safety officer Keith Knox said, "We'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best, like last year The ECU Major Events Com- mittee is planning Midnight Mad- ness including free food, karioke, movies and games as an alcohol- free alternative on Saturday night. Admission is free from 9 p.m. until 2a.m. at Mendenhall Student Cen- ter. Knox "encourage(s) all stu- dents to drink responsibly, go about in groups of three or more, avoid isolated areas and plan ac- tivities in advance so you don't end up anywhere by yourself The Student Government Association is also encouraging students to celebrate on Saturday night instead of Sunday because at 12 a.m. Sunday morning, it's Oct. 31 anyway. SGA President Keith Dyer reminds students that "if this Halloween goes well, that's two years in a row we will have had a safe Halloween. That's the key to keeping Halloween here. Students need to remember this and try to party responsibly The SGA will be providing extra security downtown. Stu- dents will be patrolling the area and informing police of emergen- cies, in order to prevent fights from escalating to the level of the fight at the Syracuse game, and to get help to emergencies faster. Most of the clubs and bars downtown are planning regular weekends as well. They will be open and serving alcohol, but they are not necessarily catering to Halloween. By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor In an effort to alleviate problems of past years, ECU's Student Government Associa- tion (SGA), ECU administrators and Greenville officials have joined forces to provide a safe, happy, Halloween weekend for the entire community. "I know we can rely on students as we have in the past Greenville Mayor Nancy Jenkins said at a city hall meet- ing Wednesday. "And, with the cooperation between the stu- dents, the downtown owners and the police departments, it's going to be a happy, joyous Halloween. We don't anticipate anything but a safe Halloween However, police officials are prepared to handle unreli- able students, and are collabo- rating with members of Down- town Area Restaurants and Tav- erns (DART) to ensure safe con- ditions. According to the head of DART and owner of The Elbo, Kirby Bryson, downtcwn will hold its Halloween festivities Saturday night, rather than Sun- day. Restaurants and taverns will hold normal hours Sunday. Jenkins said the only nega- tive feeling she received from the community was the thought that perhaps such a large num- ber of police officers was in- timidating. "I don't think the students see it that way. I think they see it as safety to protect everyone Jenkins said. SGA plans to have a 10- member student patrol for both Saturday and Sunday nights. These individuals will be dressed in black T-shirts with white SGA lettering. Their job will be to summon police in the event of an emergency, such as a fight or vandalism. "We're afraid that these people will be seen as 'tattle- tales but they're not said SGA president Keith Dyer. "The fo- cus is not to reprimand but to come and inform police SGA recently conducted campus speaking engage- ments by each SGA officer re- garding Halloween and cam- pus safety. Dyer said these seemed to fare successfully, and students exhibited posi- tive attitudes. "We've got the best po- lice department around, and I think they've done an excel- lent job in planning said Greenville City Manager Ron Kimball. "We've got a great university and a great student body and an excellent asso- ciation downtown. We've got some great cooperation here. "But we don't want to get complacent about the situation, and we don't want to think that just because we've done all this planning that everything is going to go beautifully Kimball said. See LAW page 5 Student attacked Monday near Joyner My books are WHERE? By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor Picture this: Greenville, 1954. A lonely ECU student wan- ders the dusty, yellowed stacks of Joyner Library searching for that one book that will give her paper the A grade (or even a B-) it deserves. Alas, no luck. Destroyed and frustrated, she works with what her meager library can af- ford her�a few books published in 1902, an occasional newspaper dipping, but everyone knows how unreliable fzose can be Takthis article, for ex- ample. Already, we have a typo. The first line should read the year 7993, not f?54. Although the cir- cumstancis can be applied to both time periods, it seems. In 1954, when Joyner Library opened its doors for the first time, the library was thought to be in- adequate for its 2,400 students. A few touch-ups here and there have done little to change that consen- sus. The difference now is that ECU students have the opportu- nity to demand a change. "If a person is willing to ac- cept that a library is the heart of any university or college, and if we have a growing institution that is working very hard at getting better and better, then it means a heart that's going to be capable of supporting those activities said Joyner Library Director Dr. Ken- See VOTE page 4 By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor For the fourth time this month, an ECU student was as- saulted and robbed on campus while walking alone in an iso- lated area Monday night. This time, assailants attacked a female at 11:35 p.m. This is the earliest attack so far, and the first assault on a female. ECU police continue to urge students to use common sense, as the assailants have not been caught yet. Walking alone, or even in pairs, is a great risk to personal safety. Despite repeated warn- ings, however, students continue to believe themselves to be invin- cible. "I had one student ask me, 'What if I don't want to give up my property? said ECU police Lt. Keith Knox. "It's that attitude that might result in further harm to the student. You have to ask yourself, what's more important, my life or my property?" The fifth victim was accosted while walking alone from the parking lotbehind Joyner Library to her residence hall. The alleged incident took place near the out- side stairwell located at the south- east comer of the Joyner Library building. The victim was slightly in- jured in the facial area when thrown to the ground during a struggle for her wallet. Her wal- let, containing $30, was stolen, according to police reports. The assailants were de- scribed as two black males, who were last seen running toward Slay and Umstead residence halls. "Safety and security is an issue that will benefit students, faculty and visitors � everyone on campus Knox said. "We're doing everything we can, but some students have the mentality that these individuals have guns only to scare people. It's an atti- tude like that that leads to some- one getting seriously hurt ECU police continue to cau- tion individuals about walking alone or taking shortcuts across campus. "Walk in groups of three or more, and don't let someone stray from your group Knox said. Police advise staying in well-lit areas, and along well-traveled streets. "Plan as few trips as pos- sible Knox said. "And use Pirate Ride Knox said plans to put up signs indicating Pirate Ride stops are a possibility for the future. Unfortunately, some indi- viduals have abused the extra security measures that ECU police have provided students. Security escorts should be re- quested for emergencies only, and should not be considered a taxi service. Frivolous calls made by students who simply do not want to walk in poor weather conditions inconvenience offic- ers who could be providing se- curity for others in real need, Knox said. When patrol cars are un- available, officers will escort in- dividuals on-foot, Knox said. ECU police ask that any- one with information regard- ing the past assaults and rob- beries call Crime Stoppers at 758-7777 or the ECU police at 757-6787. McDonalds' helpers light the world By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer ECU students have filled 10,000 bags of sand during this month. No, they were not try- ing to stop a flood. The students were participating in the Ronald McDonald House's annual "Light A Luminary" fund- raiser. The project involves fill- ing white paper bags with sand and candles. The bags, to be lit on Christmas Eve, will be sold to neighborhoods, churches and individuals. Generally, the lit candles will burn throughout the night. Last year, the Ronald McDonald House sold 3,400 kits. This year, they intend to sell 10,000 kits. "We hope to sell three times as many kits as last year said Stephanie Roberson, pub- lic relations director. Due to the huge number of bags that needed to be filled, there was a tremendous need for volunteers. Many of the vol- unteers came from ECU and from the Student Volunteer Pro- gram headed by Judy Baker. "The volunteers have been a tremendous help said Joylyn Hannahs, Ronald McDonald House public relations intern and ECU student. "We are well ahead of schedule, thanks to their efforts According to Baker, the volunteers from her program were primarily responsible for filling the bags. The volunteer program set up workdays on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Be- tween 30-40 volunteers showed up for each of the sessions throughout this month. "It's always one of our fa- vorite projects Baker said. "We never have trouble finding volunteers Baker said the volunteer program always brings stu- dents, who don't know one an- other closer together in "accom- plishing an important mission Hannahs said that stu- dents from Alpha Delti Pi, I Gamma Sigma Sigma, Delta p Zeta, Pi Lambda Phi, ECU health classes, as well as stu- dents from the volunteer pro- gram, have played important roles in helping with the project. � "The students have rallied behind the project to assemble the kits said Hannahs.

Both incidents took place in late September at the university bookstore. Someone slipped fliers containing "anti- Holocaust" propaganda into copies of Prosecuting Nazi War Crimi- nals, which was written by a faculty member, Alan Rosenbaum, and used in a philosophy course, reported the Campus Marketplace, a newsletter of the National Association of College Stores. In the other incident, the only copy of For All My People, a textbook for a black theology class, had three chapters cut out and a dark liquid stained the top edges of the pages. The liquid reportedly looked like blood, although it was not officially identified as such. First Amendment focus of conference Concerned about political correctness? First Amendment issues on college campuses was scheduled to be the subject of an Oct. 21 interactive videoconf erence at the State University of New York at Albany. Panel members talked about hate speech, diver- sity and controversial newspaper articles in a debate moderated by Charlayne Hunter-Gault, national correspondent for "The MacNeilLehrer News Hour Almost 100 colleges and universi- ties subscribed to the videoconference, sponsored by the Public Broadcasting Service's Adult Learning Satellite Service (ALSS) and SUNY. The videoconference was beamed via satellite di rectly to participating colleges for a $350 fee for non-ALSS members and $250 for ALSS members. Low SAT scores, 'simplified' school books linked Declining verbal scores in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) can be attributed to simplified language in school books, a study by a Cornell University sociologist has found. SAT verbal scores began to fall in the 1960s, when the first Baby Boomers began taking SATs, dropped for 16 years and have remained low ever since. "The major 'simplifications' of American school books came in the 1950s � not because the average American child had suddenly become dumber, but because of changes in educational philosophy said Donald Hayes, who developed a computer system for measuring the difficulty of texts. "Texts were simpli- fied to increase 'success' in reading, recognizing that this would be at the expense of a text's 'challenge Hayes analyzed 766 texts from 1860 to 1991. The National Enquirer and Sports Illustrated ranked minus 10.3. Compiled by Maureen Rich. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. By Jason Williams Staff Writer He strikes fear in the hearts of moviegoers everywhere. He suck?, blood, sleeps in a casket and is afraid of crosses. He is Dracula, Prince of Darkness, and he is the subject of an upcoming book by an ECU English profes- sor. Dr. James Holte is watch- ing Dracula movies, not to get into the Halloween spirit, but to gather information for his forth- coming book, Dracula in the Dark. The book will be a study of film adaptations of the legendary vampire first popularized by Irish novelist Bram Stoker nearly a century ago. Stoker's novel Dracula is based largely on the legend of Vlad the Impaler, Holte said. Dracula differs, however, from Vlad in that Dracula takes place in a Victorian setting and the historical Vlad lived in medieval times. Holte selected Dracula as his subject because of the popu- larity of the vampire in movies. Dracula is central in many of the known 500 vampire movies and is always a favorite with his stu- dents in his film courses. "Whereas Frankenstein and the Mummy come and go, Dracula is always popular. Each generation creates characters that appeal to its own needs. Dracula features eroticism and sex appeal. He differs from the mechanistic monster that is Fran- kenstein Holte said. Dracula was first seen in silent films of the 1910s. Bela Lugosi's immortal portrayal in the 1930s popularized the char- acter, creating the image of the vampire that is still copied to- day. Other Draculas range from the British series starring Chris- topher Lee, two German Nosferatu films, a Japanese ver- sion with Mori Kishida, an Afri- can-American Blacula and even an Abbot and Costello parody. "The Dracula character has a very long film history, dating back to the beginning of the me- dium Holte said. Perhaps the best known recent screen Dracula is that of Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 version. Holte said Coppola's Dracula lost some of the edge that earlier films had because the character was sexy and debonair instead of frightening. "He's more romantic than the Victo- rian original and much less ter- rifying. He gets the girl and goes to heaven in the end. "The main problem with the film is that it turns Dracula into a kind of 'Beauty and the Beast' rather than a film of ter- ror. I guess I'm more interested in the scary Dracula than the lover Dracula Holte said. Holte has written two pre- vious books, The Ethnic I, ana- lyzing autobiographies of im- migrants to America, and The Conversion Experience in America, dealing with recollec- tions of dramatic religious epi- sodes. Both were published by Greenwood Press, which will also publish Dracula in the Dark. The book is scheduled for release in 1997, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the publication of Stoker's novel. Career Services to hold Health Career Day Health organizations come to campus on Nov. 2 By Tammy Zion Staff Writer It's not in what you know�it's in who you know. Well, here's your chance. East Carolina's Health Career Day is Nov. 2 and aside from meeting valuable contacts and creating job possibilities, some may be leaving a little bit richer. Eighty representatives from various hospitals and other health care organizations will be present to answer questions about their institution, as well as recruiting potentials. Stu- dents are encouraged to be pre- sentable and carry a few copies of their resumes. "There's a very high de- mand for that type of career area said Dr. Jim Westmoreland, Director of Ca- reer Services. "There are going to be people there who literally are trying to make arrangements for you to come and do work with them, before you gradu- ate If you think you need to be a health care major, you're wrong. According to Dr. Westmoreland, hospitals need everything from accountants to public relations representatives. The information can be ob- tained, if you ask the right ques- tions. The representatives will be catering to Nursing, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Lab Clinicians, Rehabilitation Coun- seling, Recreational Therapy, Social Work, Psychology, Spe- cial Education and CDFR ma- J EAST CAROLINIAN T Chapter 9 I was in Burt's, downing a few brews when the kid walked in. It didn't really surprise me when he walked through that door � like father, like son, right? That is if you believed the kid's story, which the �jury was still out on. The kid looked like a ghost had �walked over his grave � or maybe .like the ghost himself. For a 22-year- old, he looked not a day under forty. He was as pale as a mid-moming 3iaze, his eyes were bloodshot and !he walked with a distinct slump in his shoulders. .s he passed through the red neon of the Bud sign over the pool table, he instantly reminded me of Al. I shook my head, trying to dear it like a dog tries to dry itself off. He planted himself on the stool beside me with a thud like a stack of newspapers hitting the sidewalk. "Gimme a beer" he said, never look- ing up from the cigarette and glass- strewn floor. Burt looked at me, not making a move until I nodded my head. Kid looked like he could use a beer � hell, it sure couldn't hurt him, not in his condition. As Burt slid the beer in front of the kid, he moved a couple cf feet down the bar. Burt knew I was look- ing for Al and couldn't help but be interested. I didn't blame him � Al had done a lot for Burt's. That that wasn't important, only the kid mat- tered now. "What's up, kid?" I said, down- ing another swallow of beer. He didn't answer me right away, just kept staring into his glass like it would tell his fortune like some side- show gypsy. I'd had enough nights with Al to know that it wouldn't work; the problems only got deeper and deeper. I'd almost thought he hadn't heard me when he spoke in a voice as low as the foghorn that kept the boats off the rocks of Scotch Har- bor. "I don't understand it, Mick This was the first time the kid had used my first name, so I knew he was in trouble. "Why'd he leave? Was it because of me? Sometimes I wish I'd never found out he was my father. My life was so much simpler�now it's turned upside-down and I don't know what to do The kid downed The Brewery. A place where dreams are made and unmade, lives are turned upside down and a drink is a drink. A place where you kept one hand on your wallet and one eye on the guy across the street. Basically, a place where a man can forget his troubles and drown his sorrows for a ivhile. Mick Hammered liad sworn never to set foot in the Brewery again.

I nodded for Burt to go ahead � the kid might need one. "Johnny Red, let me tell you a few things about Al I figured if he was drinking that fast, maybe I should use his first name too. It might make things go a little easier for him. "First of all, it's not your fault. Blam- ing yourself is only gonna make it worse. Al was the way he is long before you came along. Take my word for it The kid was looking at me with a wet look in his eyes. What I didn't need was him causing a scene so I kept going to keep his attention. "You're not alone, either, kid. From what I hear, about 12-15 percent of all kids your age go through this same thing. Letmeguesswhatyou're feeling. How about anger? Guilt? Shame? Ring any bells?" The kid whipped his head up, looking at me like a deer looks at a pair of headlights. He'd stopped feel- ing sorry for himself, that was one thing. "That's right, kid, I know what's it like. You think that if you behave a certain way, everything will turn out all right. Hate to break it to you, kid, but you got no control over it. Al's gonna do what he's gonna do "Heck, I've even heard that kids like you are more likely to use other drugs. They're more apt to attempt and commit suicide, more likely to have complusive behavior � this is no small thing, Red. Don'teven think you're alone in this The kid sighed and stood up from the bar stool. "Maybe you're right, Hammered. I guess I still got a lot of thinking to do. I'm gonna go home for a little bit "Good idea, kid I threw my arm around his shoulder and led him out of Burt's. As I watched him walk down the street, I lit a cigarette just as a huge 18-wheeler pulled up. This burly guy wearing jeans, a denim shirt and a baseball cap with Budweiser stenciled on it jumped out from the cab. "Hey, buddy. Where the hops am I?" he bellowed.

A significant improvement would he to rescue about 75,000 volumes of library material from a local warehouse commonly occu- pied by "an occasional bird, an occasional snake and manv hun- gry termites, Marks said. Those vol u mes ha ve resided off-campus since the summer of 1990, and this year alone will cost the university 546,000. With a yearly cost such as that, $184,000 has been spent stor- ing books in a facility that has already seen one visit from an ex- terminator. According to Marks, this money comes from loyner's bud- get, which may explain some of the problems Joyner is currently facing. As far as the warehoused books are concerned, students may request their retrieval at the circulation desk, if they know enough to ask. "We have a courier go to the warehouse twice a day Marks said. "They identify the material, tiring it back, and it's kept on the hold shelf The exiled material was not chosen randomly, Marks said. "What we identified, in some in- stances, were materials that were duplicate copies of items that we have in our collection he said. "In some instances it's material that we have on Microfilm or Mi- crofiche. "In other cases, it's material that has demonstrated little use over an extended period of time Marks said. However, students, faculty and others often request material from the warehouse. ! Marks said, as Murphy's Law suggests will happen, those books thought to be of little use have become popular since they were banished from campus.

What exactly is wrong with Joyner? (Taken from pamphlets distributed at Joyner Library) � Space allows for only 500,000 volumes, and on June 30, Joyner's collection totaled 955,391. � Building use exceeds 4,000 people a day, more than 500,000 people per year. � There are only 1,184 seats for public use. � There are no group study facilities. � ECU's student body is at nearly 18,000. � There are only 75 graduate student carrels, and 24 faculty studies. � Existing electrical and HVAC systems available to Joyner are inadequate to support the growing number of personal com- puters available for student use. � The single elevator in the building is often inoperable, mak- ing collections and services un- available to persons with disabili- ties. What exactly could the bond provide? � $28,900,000 for an addi- tion to Joyner. � Shelving space for more than 1.5 million volumes of mate- rial. � Seats for 2,000 patfons. � 37 group study rooms. � Individual study carrels. � More than 100 graduate carrels. � 75 faculty studies. � Production and distribu- tion of television programming. � A computer network that will permit students and the pub- he to have access to data, images, voice and video resources located around the world.

Clinton delivers revamped health care plan WASHINGTON (AP) �In- sisting the "bottom line" on health-care reform has not changed, President Clinton Wednesday released a retooled version of his plan that puts off the guarantee of universal cov- erage for a year and sets limits on federal subsidies for medical care. The president and his wife and adviser, Hillary Rodham Clinton, delivered their 1,300- page Health Security Plan to a cheering crowd of legislators in the Capitol's historic Statuary Hall Wednesday. Clinton laid down a straightforward challenge: "Just one simple request: I ask that before the Congress finishes its work next year, you pass and I sign a bill that will actually guar- antee health security to every citizen of this great country He said his basic goal re- mains unchanged � guarantee- ing a standard set of benefits to every American, calling it "my bottom line "When it is over, we must have achieved comprehensive health care security for all Ameri- cans or the endeavor will not have been worth the effort Clinton said. Still, bowing to the politi- cal reality of the long debate ahead, Clinton now hopes to ensure every American is guar- anteed a standard set of benefits by the start of 1998. And trying to balance com- peting demands for more gener- ous health coverage against calls for tighter cost controls, Clinton is proposing to expand benefits in some areas while slowing the phase-in of others. He also has agreed to cap subsidies for small businesses and low-income workers. Mrs. Clinton, signaling the long road ahead, called the leg- islation "a framework off of which to work" and urged legis- lators to subject all competing health proposals before Congress to the "highest level of scrutiny She expressed hope for a "vigorous, honest debate that sheds light and not just heat "This will be, for the next month, an opportunity for all of us to work together to go beyond politics as usual, to make it clear to the American people that this president and this Congress hear them and are committed to solv- ing their problems in a very real way Mrs. Clinton said. House Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash said Statuary Hall, where five presidents were inaugurated, "is a fitting place for the inauguration of the Clinton Health Security Act Offering a preview of the battles ahead, however, House Minority Leader Bob Michel, D-Ill cautioned that there are "substantive and profound policy differences" over how to proceed and that today's cer- emony was "just the beginning of a long, tortuous process "What we owe the people is a promise that we will not worry about authorship and that we will work together on a bipartisan basis for what is good for Americans said Sen- ate Republican Leader Bob Dole. Clinton hopes to use the launch of his revised plan to regain some of the momentum he lost amid a flurry of criticism and foreign-policy distractions over the past month. Doctor used untested drug NEW YORK (AP) � A can- cer researcher supplied an experi- mental drug that was clandestinely used on 16 terminally ill brain can- cer patients, The Daily News re- ported today. Dr. Peter Wienvk allowed "leftover" interleukin 2, a drug ap- proved for treating kidney cancer patients, to be injected into 16 pa- tients' brain tumors at Montefiore Hospital in 1987, The Neivs said. Wierruk, 54, had been chair- man of the hospital's oncology de- partment, but was demoted when his illicit research was exposed by a federal investigation. At the time of the brain ex- periment, Wierruk had approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration only to use the drug on kidney cancer patients, the pa- per said. Wierruk "knew these termi- nally ill patients would die soon without treatment, and that this promising experimental treatment was their last hope the doctor said in court papers. Hospital lawyer Nadia AdJer said Montefiore was unaware of the experiment and emphasized there was no evidence the drug hurt the terminally ill patients. She said all 16 patients prob- ably have died, but conceded the hospital had lost track of them. The patients had consented to the experimental drug, TheNews said. But they were not told that the FDA had not approved of the drug for brain cancers. Wierruk finally confessed to his illicit experiment in May 1992, but struck a deal with prosecutors last June. The charges are to be dropped in December if he gave full details of the testing and coverup. Weirnik refused to be inter- viewed by Tlte News. He is still associate director of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center, the paper said.

He also wounded an American, an Italian and a Svriah. The shooting came as Egyp- tian tourism was beginning to re- cover from losses as high as 80 per- cent brought on by a bloody cam- paign by Islamic extremists to topple the secular government. An Interior Ministry state- ment said the gunman, identified as Saber Farhat Abu el-Ela of Cairo, confessed to firing with a gun that belonged to his father. It made no mention of a motive but said Abu el-fci was dismissed from the army as mentally unfit. The government-run daily Al Gomhuria said Abu el-Ela told po- lice that he was avenging the kill- ings of Muslim children, the rape of women and the destruction of mosques in Bosnia. Al-Ahram, also a government paper, quoted witnesses as saying he shouted "God is great and slo- gans about Bosnia. If true, it could suggest a link with the wave of Muslim extremist violence that has plagued Egypt. But 1st Lt. Hany Fawzi of the nearby Garden City police station said the report that he shouted slo- gans was unconfirmed. Some of the victims were law- yers attending a convention on pe- nal law at the Semiramis Inter-Con- tinental Hotel, where the shooting occurred about 1 p.m. The U.S. Embassy identified the dead Americans as Coby Hoffman, in his 40s, and Robert Guidi. Embassy officials said both men were from New Jersey but had no further details. They refused to identify the wounded American, citing U.S. pri- vacy laws. He reportedly was shot in the hip. In Paris, the French victim was identified as Fernand Boulan, 54, a former dean of law and political science at the University of Aix-en- Provence. Boulan, mayor of Chateauneuf-le-Rouge near Marseille, was said to be attending the convention. The wounded Italian, identi- fied as Luigi Daga, 46, an Italian Justice Ministry official attending the conference, was in a coma with a head wound.

"Most of the people I've talked to have made other plans for Sunday night rather than going downtown Bryson said. Bryson said there are no costume parties or contests downtown this weekend. Greenville police plan to contact area apartment manag- ers, also. This was done in the past, as a precautionary measure to assure open communication and cooperation with Greenville po- lice. Daylight Savings Time pre- sents Greenville with a unique situation. The normal closing time for taverns downtown is 2 a.m but Daylight Savings Time pushes the clocks back one hour at ex- actly 2 a.m. This circumstance will ultimately prevent every- one from emptying into the streets of Greenville at the same time. While Taverns will remain Continued from page 1 open for that extra hour, people are encouraged to gradually move on. Mendenhall's Midnight Madness will remain open until 3 a.m which actually means an extra hour provided by Daylight Savings. The SGA, ECU and Greenville officials remind students that responsible be- havior will result in contin- ued yearly Halloween festivi- ties, but this is a privilege stu- dents and visitors have not always enjoyed. Prior to last year, the downtown area was closed for three years because of increased violence and van- dalism. Students are also re- minded of the several assaults and robberies that have re- cently occurred on campus. Students should use common sense, and always stay in groups of three or more for their protection. r WESLEY COMMONS NORTH Starting at $54,000. � New in the University area � 2 Bedrooms, 2 baths � Cathedral ceiling � Flush mounted fireplace � Range, Refrigerator, Dishwasher � WasherDryer hookups � Heat pump system � Private patio with storage room � Special financing available to ECU Students with parents residing 50 miles from Greenville; payments like rent but with tax benefits!

For the fourth time this month, an ECU Just a thought. By Laura Wright Lefties accident-prone, backward geeks Just recently, a friend of mine brought a problem to my attention. He said that it is dis- criminatory that there are so few desks in GCB for left-handed students. I told him that I had never really thought about it and I asked him if he was left- handed. In fact, this friend is right-handed but he still feels that this lack of lefty desks is unfair. So, here's the article that, apparently, I should have writ- ten last week. I am left-handed and, until my friend mentioned it, I didn't feel slighted in the least by the right-handed world in which I live. Since our conversation, I have thought a lot about how left-handedness is more than a matter of which hand a person writes with; it is also a hindrance in a world that unconsciously discriminates against lefties. Left-handers or, as my fa- ther says, southpaws, make up 10 percent of the population. According to a 1991 issue of Health magazine, left-handers are more prone to autoimmune diseases and are more likely to have been born prematurely. In fact, a 1991 study provided evi- dence that lefties die an average of nine years earlier than right- handers. This nine-year dispar- ity has been questioned but evi- dence does seem to support find- ings that left-handed people don't live as long as right- handers. One of the reasons for this variation in mortality rates is that left-handers tend to be more accident prone. In a world that is designed primarily for the right of hand, left-handedness can sometimes be a health haz- ard. If this sounds strange to you, as it did to me�I am in a state of denial because I simply don't want to admit that my left- handedness might lead to my ultimate demise�then think about this: Automobiles, espe- cially stick shifts, are designed for right-handers. There's a se- rious potential for accidents here. I drive a stick shift and just ask anyone who's ever ridden with me; I can't stay off of those curbs. Until my friend, we'll call him Rob, told me that he was troubled by the lack of left- handed desks, I had been living in a state of denial. I had sup- pressed the oppression that I have suffered all of my left- handed life at the hands of the rights. Up until the early twenti- eth century, left-handedness was considered abnormal and evil. Children who showed a tendency towards leftiness were "educated out of it they were forced to use their right hands. After it became apparent that this use of force could be psy- chologically damaging, it was discontinued, but the implica- tions are still with us today. When I first learned to write, I wrote backwards. My name looked like this: " ARUAL It took me a long time to learn to write "correctly" and my family thought that I had dyslexia. The truth of the matter is that I was writing in a way that is natural for lefties�from right to left instead of from left to right. I had to learn to write unnaturally in order to write "right I had to quit taking ballet because I always did the steps with the wrong feet. I moved in the wrong direction. The same was true of tennis; I was impossible to teach because the instructor couldn't understand why, out of 10 students, I was the only one who did every- thing backwards. I held the racquet in the wrong hand. Even now I can't follow direc- tions and I get lost on my way home from campus. I really can't find my way out of a pa- per bag�I have no sense of direction. While these things may not send me to an early grave (I'm not going to kill myself because I never learned how to play tennis), I'm sure that they've had an effect on my psychological make- up. I think that I internalized those no- tions of "backwardness" and "wrongness" that are linked to left-handedness. I think that using those green left-handed scissors in kindergarten pre- pared me to suffer. While I'm still not too of- fended that there aren't a whole lot of left-handed desks in GCB (I don't mind knocking elbows with the right-handed major- ity), I hope that at least this column will provide support to an accident prone minority. Remember, you may be a lefty, but you have rights. You may not get much respect, but at least you can buy left-handed notebooks. By Brian Hall I Gun bans fail to focus on real problems We all know about the ter- rible rash of crimes on our cam- pus in the past few weeks. By the time that you read this, hope- fully these criminals will have been arrested. These incidents bring home the point that our criminal justice system is in need of urgent reform. The only solution to the crime problem is to get the crimi- nals off the street. We need more police, more prisons and more courts to handle the increased caseload. Too many dangerous fel- ons, like the young man accused of killing James Jordan, are be- ing released due to overcrowd- ing. This individual served less than two years after perma- nently disabling someone with an ax blow to the head. People this violent should never see the streets again. We need to recognize crime for what it is: a war against society. In war you do not disarm your allies; instead, you attack your enemy. No other solution will work. Simply banning guns will not stop crime. We already have gun control here; it is illegal to have guns on campus. But for some reason, even with the law, these darn criminals just will not obey the law. Americans use guns almost a million times a year to protect themselves, their homes and their loved ones from criminals. Over 2,000 felons are killed and 8,000 to 16,000 wounded every year by private citizens in self defense (more than three times as many as by the police). Polls of criminals have re- peatedly shown that most avoided people they had con- sidered robbing, because they knew, or feared, that their vic- tims were armed. While gun control advo- cates can point to studies which suggest that gun control would be effective, they cannot point to a case where it has ever brought about a reduction in crime. Instead, gun control has often resulted in an increase in crime, as criminals are give free reign to prey upon a help- less populace. In 1976 Washington, D.C. passed one of the most restric- tive gun control laws in the country; by 1982, violent crime had risen 43, murders 14. The national average for the same period were 20 and 3, respectively. One measure that has worked is mandatory penal- ties for using firearms during a crime. In 1975, both Virginia and South Carolina passed such laws. In the next 11 years Virginia's murder rate dropped 38, South Carolina's 41. The fact of the matter is that absolute gun control is impossible. We cannot control the flow of drugs in our coun- try. If we completely banned guns, does anybody really be- lieve that we could keep them out of the hands of the en- emies of society? '����� III biiiiii piKlniWaJMWU i.

Oh, sure there's all the peace on earth- good will toward men blah, blah, blah. Big deal.

They get all aglow at the idea of stripping away layers of clothes and lying in flower-cov- ered fields and absorbing sunlight like a solar battery. They head toward the beach in their convertibles, radios blasting away, bodies covered in gunk to keep their skin from drying up, and they, kids especially, generally create lots of noise. The seasons of sunshine are noisy and busy and they love it. I think they're all nuts, myself. Fall isn't about all that commotion, all that activity. The period from October to February is motionless. Winter is about a lack of motion. Animals sleep, and we as humans rightfully should but, with the scheduling of professional and college football, who can sleep? Is it any wonder why the busiest revel in a little wickedness. Oh, nothing lasting or leaving permanent scars; no need to overdo it. Think of it as a moral week- end; a time to wallow in mad scientists and goblins and stop being so darned re- sponsible. And speaking of enjoying being bad, let us bow our heads in reverence to the man who made evil so charming. Yes, I'm speaking of Vincent Price, who died Mon- day night of cancer. He was my hero. I can think of no one else who could make Poe more lively or crack a smile that revealed both malicious intent and utter enjoyment. This may seem ordinary by our dra- matic standards now, what with Anne Rice and Stephen King cranking out at- tractive creatures that our mothers would never approve of"You want to marry a vampire?!

Well, Vincent paved the way for all that. Plus, he inspired the imaginings of Tim Burton, the most creative of our generation's filmmakers, with whom Price worked in Edward Scissorhands. Plus, he was Egghead on the 1960s "Batman" show, which just makes him too cool. I think, given his claim to fame and Face it, there is no other holiday that his naturally dramatic soul, Price may have invites gleeful and safe excursions into evil like Halloween.

On two separate occasions at rest stops on inter- state highways, persons of dubious moral character and personal hygiene have accosted me with knives demanding money. When I produced a pistol instead of my wallet, they became pacifist, world-class track and field stars . Lest you think that you and I stand at opposite ends of the gun control spectrum, I agree that the NRA goes overboard in maintaining that private citizens should be permitted to purchase assault weapons This "Joe Redneck to use your bigoted termi- nology, hunts deer not to be "fierce" or to prove my manhood, but rather because I prefer low-cholesterol venison to the steroid-fed, flavor-enhanced beef we get in stores. Speaking of which, do you eat meat?Ever seen the inside of a slaughterhouse? I guess you're only a "Joe Redneck" if you kill your iiwn meat, huh? I didn't realize that paying someone to hit a cow between the eyes with a sledgehammer for me would make me politically correct. If you know a humane way to eat a deer without killing it first, let me know and I'll quit hunting. Michael F. Byrd Junior Nursing To the Editor: .1 am a hunter, gun owner, and current member of the National Rifle Association I believe that people who carry a weapon for illegal purposes obtain them illegally Overpopulation, destruction of crops, malnourishment, starvation: for these reasons, deer need to be killed Have you ever talked to a farmer who has not hunted? Deer can severely damage crops by eating them! Farmers either hunt themselves or allow people to hunt their land. The wildlife and game officials can and do issue crop damage tags to farmers whose crop damage by gamp have exceeded a set limit Richard J. Hooton III Senior English Education To the Editor: I carry one a semi-automatic weapon when I am out hunting, to ensure a clean kill if necessary, not to engage in a firefight with the proverbial "bear- deer-moose-d uck . The NRA fights not only to preserve our Constitutional rights, but also to keep weapons out of the wrong hands. They have sponsored and lob- bied for efforts that protect citizens from criminals, such as the Staggers instant background check in Virginia, yet the mainstream society thinks they want everyone armed. Chris Wiesemann Junior Criminal Justice To the Editor: his Malmrose's portrayal of the university as a "lefty commune" held hostage by "hellborn feminists" is ridiculous, as is his profound ignorance of the literary tradition he so caustically condemns One might expect less rabid anti-intellectual- ism from a college professor, particularly one from the school of Art, considering the long liberal tradi- tion in that field, but I guess there is no accounting for tastes. Or is there? Malmrose prefers Garth Brooks to Byron. Of course, Brook's "penetrating stanzas" are much easier to deal with, particularly if you're not the one being penetrated Perhaps Mr. Malmrose believes that women want to leave the workplace altogether, but I say it is this mentality that sends the children of divorce lawyers to camp in the Poconos every summer, not "political correctness" or the quiche-cooking ten- ured lesbian mind-control ninjas that exist only in Malmrose's perverse imagination .If Malmrose and his "brothers in arms" could get a grip on something other than the "upright" members of their anatomies, they might find that they can think with their brains, too H.K. Leggett, HI Graduate Student English To the Editor: To be a man, one must simply possess the appropriate genetic and hormonal characteristics responsible for that determination. On the other- hand, dignity, integrity, self-esteem, respect for oth- ers, and responsible actions do define a decent hu- man being Mr. Malmrose, if you desire to wear cowboy boots, flex your muscles, and ye-haw or whatever, that is your privilege. However, when you address sensitive issues like Anita Hill with so little under- standing and compassion, know you are creating fertile ground for the formation of those Amazon troops you blame for the demise of the real man Susan C. Luddeke Lecturer School of Art To the Editor: It came as a shock to me to learn Mr. Brett's employment at WZMB was terminated because of what he wrote. Letters written to a newspaper editor are supposed to be an open forum where people can discuss whatever is on his or her mind. No one should be punished because of what they write As a result of Mr. Judge's letter, I can't help but think something sneaky is going on at WZMB. College environments are where radical ideas are readily discussed, not suppressed As far as I know, people are still allowed to express their point-of-view. It's called the 1st Amendment. Mr. Judge may need to do a little research in that area- Chris Gallagher Graduate Student English To the Editor: I have never once heardthat the executive staff at WZMB welcomes suggestions Also, I won- der, A. Judge, do you really know all of the people in your staff or are they just names on a legal pad? What I do care about is your apparent indif- ference toward the people working at WZMB and any possible suggestions that they may haveThe radio business, as is all media, is a people business. In order to be an effective manager, and this goes for any corporation, you must be a people person can appreciate your trying to be serious about the station's success, but your methods definitely need some revision I say, who wants to consort with the type of people who feel that it is beneath them to give a welcoming handshake or a "Hello, I am A. Judge, welcome aboard Ben Ogobe Freshman Psychology To the Editor I was troubled to read the Oct. 21 letter by Lee Judge, program manager of the campus radio station because Mr. Judge seems to strike out angrily and even vindictively at several targets: The East Carolinian, Mark Brett's Oct. 19 letter about ZMB, and previous coverage of ZMB. He claims that he was slandered he really means libelled, I assume by The East Carolinian. If he can show where the EC says anything that defames his character, he should certainly point it out. He seems most upset at Mr. Brett for having expressed an opposing viewpoint; there is no libel involved in arguingforalternativemusic. He claims that the EC ran this without having interviewed anyone at ZMB. This is simply not true: if you'll go back to the Oct. 7 article, you'll find it full of quotes from Beth Arthur, manager of ZMB. Mr. Brett's letter responds very specifically to her sta tements in tha t article. On the question of alternative music, Mr. Judge is confusing. To start, he defensively states that he has several alternative pieces in his personal music collec- tion. I fail to see what this has to do with programming policy. And then he closes by hintingatsomethingto the effect that he thinks ZMB should cater to popular taste. So, is he for a popular format or not? Traditionally, college radio stations have played alternative music, so much so that "college music" has become synonymous with "alternative BillboardMaga- zine even carries a special chart for it, and, closer to home, it's in the sta tion charter tha t it not compete with commercial stations. In other words, it's not a question of "what ECU students want to hear if most people listen to WRDU, that doesn't mean that ZMB should suddenly imita te RDU. They both have different func- tions and survive because they fit thex niches. Beyond this manifest confusion�which I find troubling in itself for anyone who has taken composi- tion, not to mention is program manager at a radio station�I am deeply disturbed by the vindictiveness Mr. Judge expresses toward Mr. Brett. This vindictive- ness is perhaps best exemplified by a quick parentheti- cal comment by Mr. Judge: "First of all Mr. Brett is (and bythetimeyoureadthis'wasOanemployeeofWZMB I believe that Mr. Judge has gone beyond the pale, professionally and perhaps legally, in declaring thathe is going to fire an employee for publicly expressing views that happen to differ from his own. Dr. Jeffrey Williams Assistant Professor Department of English Editor's note: Regarding Mark Brett,WZMB General Manager Beth Arthur states simply: "He's not fired She adds that any agitation toward Brett's remarks stems from the comments not being brought to her first. mhammm � if if1' The East Carolinian For Rent Ringgoid Towers at S290momh per sludent LARGE BEDROOM with pri- vate bath.

NC State Zoo opens new exhibit By Stephanie Tullo Staff Writer The ECU Video Yearbookis a great idea; it demonstrates a change from the print year book Although it lacks some of the detail the print year book would have, it exemplifies the technology that is breaking through into society. This year's yearbook will be rather different from its predeces- sor, as it will be altered in a variety of ways. This year it consists of three main sections: Pirate Life, Pirate Or- ganizations and Pirate Sports. Each main section will include subsections focusing on many things that occur onrheECUCampus-Themainrheme is "Reflections of ECU Treasures The yearbook staff studied other schools'ideasfortheiryearbooksand came up with many new ideas. All the events covered in the yearbook will be shown in chrono- logical order, starting from thebegin- ningdaysofschoolasshownin Pirate Life, which is the day in the life of a student, to the brilliant finale of the school year. Pirate Life will show events such as, registration, the won- derfuUy admired parking tickets,aca- demics, intramurals and let's not for- get the downtown scene. The next section is Pirate Organizations. It will include social organizations such as theGreekStaca- demics and organizations associated with one's major. This year there will be an equalfocusonall of these differ- ent organizations. The last section, Pirate Sports, will cover the vast num- ber of sports that take place here on campus. The tape this year runsabout an hour in length, and instead of music, natural sound will be used, such as students talking, quotes and much, much more. A character gen- erator will also be used to display words on the screen throughout the video. Stephen Lewis, the Execu- tive Producer of the yearbook, has many hopes for this year's Video Yearbook.

X-Men turn 30, don't age well By Cliff Coffey Staff Writer TheX-Men have turned 30 (Holy Cow!) and Marvel is making a big deal about it, as they do with every- thing anymore. When Stan Lee and Jack Kirby started the book, it had limited suc- cess�just enough to keep it going. The replacements came in just as the comic was on it's last leg, living only as a reprint title. Marvel had begun reprinting old issues of the X-Men in the new issues. Along came Len Wein, Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum to save it. They were re- sponsible for Giant Sized X-Men 7 ,which introduced a new set of X- Men. They wanted to replace the comy,outdatedX-Men,andthatwas the spark they needed. QaremontandCockrum began their stay on the X-Men with issue 94, the first new material to appear on the title in a few years. Cockrum left and John Byrne signed on as the artist. Soon, the X-Men became the X- Men, the comic renowned for not only dramatic storylines, (such as the infamous "Dark Phoenix" arc) but also for a new standard of comic art, crafted by Byrne and inker Terry Austin. Byrne and Claremont took the title from fledgling status to make it the Lest-selling comic in the na- tion. ThesourceoftheX-Men'spopu- larity lay in the continual sub-plot concerning "mutanthysteria a race- relations allegory wherein normal humans feel threatened by stereo- types of mutants as destructive and evil. This hysteria was reinforced by the actions of the X-Men's enemies, particularly Magneto and the Broth- erhood of Evil Mutants. In fact, a popular facet of The X-Men is that of a future wherein our heroes are hunted and mutants in general are killed through whatmaybedeemed "ethnic (or genetic) cleansing. Though Byrne left after 32 is- sues, Claremont stayed on, taking the book to new heights with such fan-favorite artists as John Romita, Jr, Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee. Until issue279,Claremontstee'ed the lives ofthewaywardmutantswithmonu- mental success. After brief writing stints by Lee, Byrne and Fabian Nacienza, the title was taken over by Scott Lobdell, who currently scripts their adventures. See X-MEN page 14 By Steve Griffin Staff Writer The North Carolina Zoo has its first new exhibit in almost a decade. It is called the Sonora Desert exhibit, and it features all the animals and the habitats of the desert in the Southwestern United States. All of the ani- mals were trans- ported right from the Sonora Desert, and spe- cies include rattlesnakes, liz- ards, road run- ners and many more. The 14,000 square foot facil- ity cost 4.1 mil- lion dollars and took years of planning. The exhibit is covered by a domed roof made up of hun- dreds of glass panels to filter sunlight. The Sonora exhibit features many different habitats. Inhabitantsof the Sonoran flatlands include animals such as igaunas and roadrunners. The Sagauro uplands areas feature the tall Sagauro cactus and many other types of cacti. One of the most in- teresting animals seen in this habi- tat is the gila monster, a grey and pink poisonous foot-long lizard that should be a crowd favorite. Flying around the dome are many different species of birds common to the Sonoran desert. The exhibit also has an area showing the desert at night because many popular species, including scor- pions and bats, come out at night. The zoo used a special computer- ized lighting system that can re- verse day and night for animals. This was done since most desert animals are only active at night because of high daytime tern peratures. The zoo - gives you a good chance to enjoy the new Sonoran Desert exhibit along with the week- end events of "BooattheZoo" on Oct. 30 and 31. "Boo at the Zoo" is a halloween cel- ebration with many different events for chil- dren and adults. For children, there is a halloween costume contest and trick or treating around the zoo. For adults, "Boo" will feature an African storyteller who will per- form tales about African animals, spirits and tribal rituals. "Boo at the Zoo" starts at noon and runs until 6 p.m. in the zoo plaza. The storyteller begins at 7 p.m. All the events are free with zoo admission of $6 for adults and $4 for children.

The group mashes to- gether 50s, 60s and 70s pop with the metal edge of the 80s and gets a unique sound that changes, not un- like a chameleon, on every track. That sound�Plagens'precisevocals,Kyle Baer's power chords, Josh Gordon's thumpamaniac bass and Scott Carneghiontheskins�isdestined to become known as the Greta sound! Let me tell you, I was listening to this album outside while playing some roundball, and do you know what I was able to do? I stood at the foul line, threw the ball off the backboard, caught it in mid-air and BOOM! I slammed it! Now, it ain't every CD that makes you do that! Of course, my rim is only nine feet high.

Greta jams. I jam. If you jam, we can jam together to Greta. It's about being a man, man, and I think that's why he wears a dress, because even though the album is loaded with the hypocrisies forced upon us by the white patriarchal society, it addresses the duality of humanity; Greta adresses both sides of sexuality.

The Clampett clan, for those who may not have ever seen the long-running television show, con- sists of Jed (Jim Varney of Ernest fame), Granny (Cloris Leachman of Rhoda" fame), Elly May (Erika Eleniak of "Bayzvatch " and Playboy fame) and cousin Jethro Bodine, (Diedrich Bader, a Hollywood new- comer). The story can be paraphrased from the song that used to open each television episode. One dav, while Jed was shooting at some food, bubbling crude arose from the ground. The crude turned out to be oil, and Jed became a billion- aire. He decided, on the advice of his kinfolk, to move his family to -Beverly Hills, so that his daughter, Efly May, could learn how to be a "refined lady. The Clampetts put their money in Milburn Drysdale's bank (Dabney Coleman). Drysdale al- lows his secretary, Jane Hathaway (Lily Tomlin), to take care or the Clampetts. The rest of the film de- tails the scheming of two shysters Lea I homp- . mar- ike -ill his is subplot, like the vain attempt of the Uncle Fester sub- s n DieAddamsFamily,rapidly � ars thin and then wears on the viewer's nerves. Considering that the characters were already in place, m mind could not compre- hend whv four screenwriters were unable to create anything more original or interesting than this stu- pid subplot. Hillbilly jokes abound in this film and make the experience of watching The Beverly Hillbillies less disagreeable. One especially funny- gag has a hillbilly wondering if "cousin Bill" will attend Jed's wed- ding. The next shot shows the White House, and a voice says: "Hillary, where did we put that invitation?" Still the few good jokes in this tired film cannot lead to a recommenda- tion. Despite the stale story, some positive aspects of the film should be noted. Dolly Parton, singing a song for Jed's birthday, makes a ' pleasant cameo. Lily Tomlin steals the show from the other actors by infusing a great deal of warmth and humor into her role as Jane Hathaway. This character, thanks to Tomlin, is the only participant in the story who seems to rise above the cardboard caricatures from the series. A cameo by Buddy Ebsen (Jed in the television series) as Barnaby Jones also adds a nice touch. Penelope Spheeris, the director of Wayne's World, tries her hand at d irecting another movie-from-tele- vision. She handles 77k Broerly Hill- billies in much the same way that she didWayne'sWorld. She uses many of the same limited camera a ngles beca use o f the confined space of a television screen. Thus the film looks staged and more like a televi- sion show than a grand Hollywood production. The trouble with this approach is that Spheeris ignores the possi- bilities of film. She disregards all the wonderful aspects of cinema that make it superior to television. She uses only the center portion of the screen thus ensuring an easy transfer to video (shrewd thinking if your only concern is money). Though some special effects are used, the stunts and sets look no different from the ones employed for the television show. Perhaps this was intentional, but the choice was surely made for financial reasons rather than artistic ones. Spheeris keeps her characters ardently modeled after the televi- sion show and thus permits no growth throughout the film. Though character gi owth certainly need not occur in a light-weight comedy like this one, keeping the characters so confined makes them appear as blown-up, small screen images. Tomlin's exuberant Hathaway only exaggerates just how stale and small the other char- acters are. All these complaints center around artistic intentions. Surely the filmakers knew they had a sure-fire hit if only they did not tamper with a proven formula. This same thinking ruins most sequels. In the case of a televi- sion show, the reason the show aired on small screens instead of large ones is that the ideas were suited to the small screen. The trend to try to elevate low-brow entertainment to attract a high- brow audience is deplorable. If I want to see old television shows I can watch Nick at Nite. Where have all the screen- writers gone? Gone to sequels and television remakes, every- one. This holiday season The Flinstones is sla ted for release, and Wayne's World II is in production. Will this trend ever stop? Only if the movie-going crowd wants it to stop. So all civic-minded, level- headed cinematic aficionados stay clear of television series on the silver screen. A message needs to be sent to Hollywood that, though film industry minds may be turning to oatmeal, film fans' minds are definitely not. As far as The Beverly Hillbil- lies is concerned and most other movies culled from the buried remains of dead television shows�JUST SAY NO! On a scale of one to 10, The Beverly Hillbillies rates a four. Celebrate a creepy, crawly Halloween at Mendenhall By Laura Jackman Staff Writer If you're looking for something different to do this Halloween, then you'll find the perfect alternative at Mendenhall Student Center.

Get psyched for Fountain By Steve Griffin Staff Writer The band Fountain of Youth is back in Greenville for back to back nights at the Attic on Thursday and O'Rock's on Friday. The band has been busy tour- ing around N.C. and outside the state. Recently they played at Club Zero in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Radford, V. A which the band said was one of their favorite shows. Fountain Of Youth has also been busy recording a new CD with their new guitarist Robin Smith from the band Kill Kids. The CD will come out before the end of the fall semester and lead singer Troy Yarborough said the big reason for doing a 7" CD is to send it around jhe country for radio play. I One of Fountain of Youth's .songs was recently played on a top 25 list by a popular N.Y. radio sta- tion. The two new songs on the CD will be a song called "Velocity Girl" and "Rainbow "Velocity Girl" is about a girl coming to Greenville and making the best out of it, so it should hit home with a lot of locals. Both songs have a good drive to them and the band said their music has matured since the last album, A Moody Groove Fo You I Many havedescribed Fountain of Youth as "funk music" but thev vould like to change that image. "We listened to and are influence by old funk music, but we are out to make our own sound now lYarbourough said. Fountain of Youth has been to- ge ther for two years (ever since they got to Greenville). They have be- come very well known in Green- ville and other parts of North Caro- lina with their trademark t-shirts and daisy stickers posted every- where. "Greenville has been really good to us with people, record stores and WZMBbacking us all the way Yarbourough said. Fountain of Youth has been so successful is their addition of a little bit of groove to their alternative sound. The drummer Billy Cuthrell said they "do not want to overplay in Greenville so they have been able to travel around and write new material. Now they should be ready to put on two big shows on Thurs- day and Friday in Greenville with all this added experience and maturity.

Even in high school, he knew th.it his goal in life w.is to own his own business. He wanted to "give customers the best products and sen. ice, for the best price" He believes that is why students are his best customers. Miiner bases his philosophy on past experiences. At the time he was planning on opening his shop, there was only one other t'ul-service tan- ning salon in GreenvUle, and he felt the staff was unfriendly and that the prices were too high. Miiner and his staff go out of their way to be per- sonal with all their customers, and to otter competitive prices to tit every budget. Miiner also believes the secret to his success is that people these days are being ca reful not to overex- pose themselves to too much radia- tion. Tanning beds provide a con- trolled amount ot iignt which the sun does not. Because the sun gives Zone rates birthday th L A and L B rays in in- tent amounts, people often d damage their skin.

Price died Monday night at his Hollywood Hills home after a five- year struggle with lung cancer. He was 82. "I think it's going to be a big loss because he gave so much through all the characters he played said comedian Milton Berle, who knew Price from the actor's appearances on Berle's Texaco Star Theater in the 1950s. "He was one of the finest ac- tors, besides being one of the most charming gentlemen I ever met Berle said. Price was amused by his repu- tation as the perfect villain. "I'm not the least bit disap- pointed that I'm remembered pri- marily for my horror roles he said in 1985. From the beginning of his film career in 1938, Price appeared in a variety of films, from the sublime (Laura, The Ten Commandments) to the ridiculous (Dr. Goldfootand the Bikini Machine). Priceexploited his reputation as a villain by contributing a ghostly voice to Michael Jackson's hit record, Thriller, playing the creator of Edward Scissorlwmls in the 1990 film and hosting the PBS series "Mystery" during the 1980s.

Under contract to 20th Century Fox, he proved a valuable cha racter actor in such films as Song of Bcmadette, Wilson, The Eve of St. Mark, Leave Her to Heaven and Dragonwyck. As a free-lance actor, he ap- peared in a wide variety of films, including Up in Central Park, Abbott and Costcllo Meet the Invisible Man, TheThreeMusketeers, Curtain Call at Cactus Creek and Son ofSinbad.

Continued from page 11 As when Lee and Kirby left, the X-Men has been lacking a captive storytellingessence. Instead of well- planned plots that are thought-pro- voking and compelling, there are only quick flashes of stories with a lot of action thrown in.

In the 67th year of the 20th Century A.D Citibank introduced a credit card aptly titled the Citibank Classic Visa� card. Established on the premise that a credit card should offer�24 hours a day�warm, personal service, the Citibank Classic Visa card marked the end of the Ice Age. And it ushered in a new era. With the introduction of the first Photocard, the credit card bearing one's own photo and signature on the front, it soon became evident that Man was entering the Post Paleolithic Period. First, Man was no longer looking like a Neanderthal, as one often does on more primitive cards such as the Student ID. He or she could now choose his or her own photo. Second, by deterring other anthropoids from using the card, Man was helping to prevent fraud. Surely this was a sign of advanced intelligence. H The subsequent rise of services was nothing less than an American Revolution. So as you might expect, Citibank would be there for you, even if your card was stolen, or perhaps lost. The Lost Walletsm Service could have a new card in your hands Monarch Notes� Version: usually within 24 hours. (You can almost hear Paul Revere crying, "The card is coming!

This year's Hokie squad is much more improved and is on the verge of breaking in on the top 25 list. The Big East team has a record of 5-2, the opposite of ECU's. The Bucs are coming off a tough loss to Southern Miss, 24-16. The Hokies are coming off a high shoot out con- test with New Jersey powerhouse Rutgers, 49-42. Last year in Ficklen Stadium the Pirates pulled out the stops and quarterback Michael Anderson hit Carlester Crumpler on a 21 -yard TD pass with 42 seconds remaining for a 30-27 win. The Hokies finished with a 2-8-1 record last season. When these two teams get to- getheritalwaysseemstocomedown to the final seconds. In the last four match-ups the average win has been only 3.75 points. This will beacontestofVirginia Tech's high octane offense versus theyoungpowerfuldefenseofECU. Tech brings in the 7th- rated offense in the country agains.t ECU's 32nd- ranked defense. The Hokies have and it will play into the strength of the Buc defense. Tech's running game is led by 17th-ranked running back Dwayne Thomas(1374avg. yards per game). They ha ve not missed star back Von Hebron, who is now tearing up de- fenses in the NFL with the Philadel- phia Eagles. The man at the helm of the offense is QB Maurice DeShazo. He is second in the nation in pass efficiency. He might be able to pick apart the Buc secondary. ThePiratesplayedgreatdefense lastweekagainstUSM and this week will be a real test for the young squad. The Hokies made some drastic changes during the off-season. "You're fired was heard sev- eral times from Head Coach Frank Beamer and now VT has a new cast of assistant coaches. And new de- fensive schemes. The Hokies have converted to a standard 4-3defense from their wide tackle-six formation, forcing outside linebackers Kevin Brown and P.J. Preston to new positions. Brown, who recorded 82 tack- les (5 for losses) last season, moved to inside linebacker.

The Hokie offensive line re- turned all five starters and is giv- ing DeShazo the protection he needs. "Maurice got better every game he played last season Beamersaid. "Withexperience,he made better decisions and called audibles that put us in positions for big gains Through the air, DeShazo found widereceiver Antonio Free- man 32 times last year for an aver- age of 22 yards per catch. Freeman is a deep threat the Pirates will have to play close attention to. The Pirates should stand a good chance at running the ball this Saturday. The Hokies have allowed 147.6 yards a game on the ground. The combination of Junior Smith running and Jerris McPhail catch- ing the ball out of the backfield should work well again. Smith is currently ranked 13th in rushing and is averaging 110 yards per game.

Ev eryone who has left home for college know of the difficult transition that takes place during your first year away from home. One day you're a popular high school senior, the next day, you're a lowly freshman geek. It takes time to meet new people, remember their faces and consider them your friends. If only there was someone already here to help you through these most awkward of times. A brother perhaps, or maybe, a twin sister? Certainly, that would make things easier. Well, the East Carolina cross country men's and women's team both share something in common, family. Taraand Dava Rhodes are identical twins who joined the women's squad as true freshmen with promising careers. And what better way to ease into college life than with your sister and best friend from home? "Having Dava here makes the transition from high school to col- lege a lot easier than if I were start- ingallbymyself'Tarasaid. "She's my best friend "With Tara here, it just made things seem just like we were back in Pennsylvania running in high school Dava said. "It was the same old thing The two come to ECU as highly Dava Rhodes Tara Rhodes recruited runners with impressive statistics. Dava placed 12th in Pennsylvania her senior year where competition is extremely competitive. She also represented the Pennsylvania Ail-Star team after her senior season and holds the school record with a time of 18:59. Tara finished 19th in Pennsyl- vania and also medaled in the 3200 meters in track at the state championships. Both girls lettered every year while in high school and come to ECU on schol- arships. As for the men, broth- ers do exist. However, they're not twin Eric Adamski is a senior for the Pirates, while younger brother Jason is beginning his sophomore year at ECU. They too have similar thoughts that the twins share about being in school with family. "It helps me to have Eric here, he's always been an athletic rival for me while we were growing up Jason said. "And since he's my brother, he'll tell me if I'm screw- ing up, whether it has to do with school or cross country "We're quite a long ways from home, so having Jason here is like having a piece of home here with me Eric said. "We're really kind of different, but running cross country gives us a common inter- est that brings us closer together, which is kind of nice CHARLOTTE (AP) � Howard Jones hasn' t been enjoy- ing his favorite National Foot- ball League team lately, but Tuesday's decision to award a franchise to Charlotte may sway his allegiance. Jones, 69, is a Washington Redskins fan discouraged by their 1-5 start this year. "I've always watched the games until the end said Jones, a retired marketing consultant. "But I've been cutting them off at the half lately Jones may be changing his tune now that he'll be watching the Carolina Panthers. For many, Sunday tailgate parties will re- place the old tradition of Sunday afternoon buffets at the local steakhouse. Joe Estwanik, a Charlotte physician specializing in sports medicine, bought four perma- nent seat licenses. His dd held season tickets for the Cleveland Browns for years, and he remem- bers well the weekly ritual of heading out to the stadium to watch running back Jim Brown run over opposing defenses. Season tickets were so prized that, when his father died, strang- ers called the family wanting to know if the family tickets might be for sale. "Having grown up in an NFL city, I know the depth of feeling a team creates Estwanik said. "If you end up becoming hooked as a season ticket holder, you will be occupied by those Sunday away games and Monday night games as well as the home games Since the team will play its first season at Clemson, home Sundays would also mean load- ing up the family for the two- hour trek to Death Valley. Ronnie Farmer, owner of the Gentlemen's Quarters barber- shop in the Charlotte YMC A, said his family is ready to rearrange their Sunday rituals of leisurely lunches and visits to the in-laws around the Panthers' schedule. But he's not sure if he's ready for the trips to Clemson. "I probably won't get highly involved in it until it is in Charlotte he said. He thought about that a second. "Then again, I'll probably be there for every game Howard Jones proudly re- ports that even his son in Bal- timore was rooting for Char- lotte to get a team so he can come down and watch Pan- ther games with his dad.

After their 7-0 victory over Sigma Phi Epsilon last weekend, the champs rejoiced in victory. "Itwas thetoughestgameforus, butwehad todoit'said "SuperHo" team captain, Brandon Taylor. With a single elimination rule, both teams successfully defeated a series of teams which led them to the final game played October 24th on ECU's intramural grounds. According to Brandon, the key player of the qualifying game was the entire team (Kevin Hollingswortri,LeviBeckwith,Gerad Jenkins, Rodney Young, Tom Moye, Doug Talbert, Steve Marshburn, Bryon Lyons and Dave Campbell). "Defense was the key tonight. We had to force their quarter back to throw the ball because we knew he couldn't explained Brandon. Despite their loss, Sigma Phi Epsilon's quarter back, Scott Gagain and the rest of the Sigma Phi Epsilon team showed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship. With Scott's mobil- ity and speed, the "Super Ho's" de- fense definitely had a tough time breaking it down. Sigma Phi Epsilon placed sec- ond in both tournaments this year.

Initially, club sports origi- nated with only three active sports including Karate, football and the rugby. Today, however, ECU club sports have expanded to a total of 20 active clubs. According to Pat Cox, the co- ordinator of all club sports at ECU, there has been major addi- tions to the program since 1985. For instance, in 1985 there were only 10 active club sports that fluctuated in numbers because of limited funding. However since then and under Pat's man- agement, the club sports were able to progress successfully and remain consistent up to today.

Nixon, who stole 47 bases working part-time for the Atlanta Braves, exercised his S2.5 million option Monday and filed tor free agency.

"I had to feel comfortable with the decision and I do Nixon, 34, was platooned in center field with Deion Sanders for part of the year. Nixon batted .331 after regaining the starting position Aug. 18, when Sanders went on the disabled list with a respiratory problem. There is expected to be con- siderable interest in Nixon, who has hit .286, scored 237 runs and stolen 160 bases in the last three years. "He's going to be looking for an opportunity to play said Nixon's agent, Joe Sroba. "We're not looking for the highest bidder, either. When Otis finds a situation he considers reasonable and ap- pealing, he'll take it Nixon now may talk with other teams, but can't talk money with any club except the Braves until Nov. 8. "Otis would stay in Atlanta for not necessarily the highest bid, but certainly they would have to ward and make an oner pe : i e with the mar- Sroba said.

"I'm sure that after Otis and his repre- sentative have had a chance to talk to others in the marketplace, they'll contact us Sroba said he got no response when he approached the Braves at midseason. "The last time they were mak- ing contract decisions and com- mitments was in July Sroba said. "We stepped forward and asked for a career commitment, a finan- cial commitment or some kind of feedback as to what their inten- tions were with Otis. "They told us that, atthattime, he was under contract with the Braves and they expected him to do his job. That's what he did. There have been no negotiations with Atlanta since then Atlanta acquired Nixon, along with Boi Rodriguez, from Montreal for Jimmy Kremers and Keith Morrison on April 1,1991. Nixon declared free agency after the 1991 season but ended up back with the Braves, signing a two-year contract with the player option for 1994 which would have paid him $2.5 million. Nixon has stolen at least 40 bases for four straight vears and for six of the last seven seasons. The East Carolinian 17 World Series ratings second-lowest in history NEW YORK (AP) � Ratings for this year's World Series were the second-lowest ever and slipped below the NBA Finals for the first time. Toronto's six-game victory over the Philadelphia Phillies got a 17.3 rating and a 30 share, ac- cording to figures released today by A.C. Nielsen Co. The rating was down 14 percent from the 20.2 rating for the Blue Jays' six- game victory over the Atlanta Braves last year. The only lower-rated World Series since records began in 1959 was Oakland's earthquake-inter- rupted sweep of San Francisco in 1989, which got a 16.4 rating. In 1989, the NBA Finals got a 15.1 rating. The Chicago Bulls' six- game victory over the Phoenix Suns in June got a 17.9 rating, the league's record high. The Dallas Cowboys' 52-17 rout of Buffalo in the Super Bowl on Jan. 31 got a 40.3 rating. Toronto 'sdramatic8-6 victory Saturday night got a 19.0 rating, the lowest ever for a sixth game, and a 35 share. That was down 16 percent from the 22.7 rating and 41 share for Toronto's 4-3, 11-in- ning victory at Atlanta in Game 6 last year. Ratings increased throughout the game, which included a five- run Philadelphia comeback in the eighth and Joe Carter's game-win- ning homer off Mitch Williams in the ninth, only the second home run to end a World Series. The rating was 13.6 from the game's start to 8:30 p.m. EDT, and 15.6 for the next half hour. It in- creased to 16.9 from 9-9:30 p.m 17.7 for the following 30 minutes, 20.2 from 10-10:30 p.m. and 21.1 for the next half hour. By 11-11:30 p.m the rating was 24.2. It peaked at 26.8 for the game's conclusion. The rating represents the per- centage of television households in the nation and each point equals 942,000 homes. The share is the percentage of televisions on at the time. AVAILABLE NOW! ONE AND TWO BEDROOM APARTMENTS LOCATED NEAR CAMPUS. NEW.

The 76ers have offered Homacek a one-year extension be- lieved to be worth about $4 million, or half the amount sought by Johnson. In his first season with Phila- delphia, Homacek averaged 19.1 points. Sean Green had been start- ing at shooting guard in Hornacek's absence, making just 32.6 percent of his shots. Homacek could help stabilize a young team rebuilding around 7- foot-6 rookie center Shawn Brad- ley, taking some of the pressure off his inexperienced teammates. Wake Forest prepared for Florida State Seminoles UINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) � Wake Forest coach Jim Caldwell says his team isn't in- timidated by Florida State's domi- nation of opponents this season. "I think everybody knows how well they can score. That just shows you what kind of ball club they are Caldwell said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "But it does not affect us as far as our preparation, and it will not affect our kids either. The kids won't go in there scared to death because they're facing a potent offense and a great defense Florida State (7-0,5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) has shut out three teams this year, including Clemson 57-0 and Georgia Tech 51-0. The top-ranked Seminoles are also averaging 554 yards per game in total offense compared to their opponents' 250 yards per game. Caldwell said he likes the at- tention the program will get play- ing the No. 1 team in the country. It's just the fourth time Wake For- est has played a No. 1 in its his- tory. "Very rarely do you have an opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the country. It's something we're going to take full advantage of he said. The Demon Deacons (2-5,1-3) have been inconsistent this year. After bea ting Clemson two weeks ago, they lost 21-13 at home to Duke last week, blowing a 13-0 lead. Wake Forest suffered a num- ber of injuries in the game, Caldwell said, and is beat up head- ing into Saturday's contest. Wide receiver Travis Johns is out for the season after rupturing his spleen, and backup Mark Stisser injured ankle and is questionable. Earlier, the Demon Deacons lost first-team receiver Marlon Estes to an aca- demic suspension.

Keith Dyer SGA President Hello, fellow students. I hope everyone is having a good fall semester. What you are reading is the Student Government's attempt to bet- ter inform students on what is going on behind the scenes at ECU and what the SGA actually does for students. The information page is de- signed to highlight issues which have been dealt with by the SGA since the last edi- tion. Since this is the first edi- tion, we will begin with the period from April 27 to October 27. The SGA Executive Council acts as the legisla- ture during the summer. The council is made up of the President, Vice Presi- dent and Treasurer of the SGA. The summer is pretty �� laid-back, with most stu- dents gone, and the execu- tive council uses the summer to get acclimated to their po- sitions. However, the summer legislature created some im- portant legislation. A new appropriations procedure was adopted which will end the long-time problem of double funding. Also, a reso- lution was passed requiring residence hall representa- tives to give bi-weekly re- ports to their respective hall council meetings. These bi- weekly reports are designed to get more students in- volved in SGA. Perhaps the most impor- tant summer appropriation made was to ECU Campus Police to purchase two bi- cycles for a campus bike pa- trol. These bikes will be used to escort women between campus buildings and enable the campus police to better serve the students and the faculty. When the current SGA Executive Council was elected in April, we made it a priority to curb campus crime and the bike patrol is the first step in that direc- tion. As the summer ended and fall semester began, the SGA Executive Council be- gan to see other goals form- u we made it a priority to curb campus crime A. Keith Dyer ing. On October 7, we began deliberation with the Faculty Senate to enact a grade re- placement policy which will allow (if passed) a student to repeat a course and only the replacement grade will be factored into the GPA. As of now, this new policy stands a very good chance of pass- ing and will counter some of the negative effects of the new Drop-Add policy. The fall at ECU immedi- ately brings to mind Hallow- een. Since September 29, the SGA has met with city and university officials three times to talk about the stu- dents' role in making Hal- loween safer for everyone. After last year's success- ful Halloween, the SGA is doubling its efforts to inform students to party responsi- bly once again and make Hal- loween a continuing tradi- tion in Greenville. (See our half page ad on page 17 in this edition for more details on Halloween.) On November 2, the citi- zens of North Carolina will vote on a 310 million dollar bond referendum. If the ref- erendum passes, ECU will be appropriated funds to con- struct a badly needed addi- tion to Joyner Library. From August 23 to October 11, the SGA has made register- ing voters to vote for the bond referendum its top priority. A massive advertise- ment campaign and voter registration drive was completed with much �� success. Currently, the SGA is continuing the ad- vertisement campaign, fo- cusing on more voter mobili- zation. It is obvious how im- portant passage of this bond referendum is to the students of ECU and we hope our ef- forts will make a significant difference. The ECU SGA hopes this information page is "infor- mative There are often complaints that SGA really does nothing for students, and this information page is especially ior those people. Just remember that the SGA is working hard for students and it is our pledge to con- tinue to work hard. Sincerely, A.

State of North Carotins Special lection ' i Z. t�l Chairman, Slat loard erf hrcliont From the Bean 5 Counter 5 by Rich ParavelEa The SGA is beginning the year with over $80,000 available to campus recognized organiza- tions. This is the most money we have ever started the year with. The reason for this is that SGA has received a $2 increase from student fees, which is our funding source. This was a much needed in- crease in order to fund the growing number of student groups on campus. Any student organization with a favorable funding status is eligible to receive funding from ithe SGA. If there are any questions pertaining to funding, or any other matter relating to SGA, please tall 757-4726. This year promises to be very productive and will watch to insure the fair and necessary distri- ' bution of funds. The semester began with the addi- tion of the partially student-funded clock located at the corner of the General Classroom building and the Geology building. Also included this semester is the beginning of our SGA campus safety package to assist in making our campus a safe place to be. We are excited about SGA playing an active role on this campus and look forward to serving the students of East Carolina. Respectfully yours, Rich Paravella SGA Treasurer $S7 WWOJfVSD!

Vice-Pres stresses student issues Dreyfus desires to improve communication between students and SGA By Troy Dreyfus SGA Vice-President To the students of East Carolina: This is a first of its kind information page designed for all ECU students to better inform you of what Student Government is and what we are doing for you. As Vice President, I hope to improve the communication between the student body and the SGA. We are your represen- tatives and we want you to know what is going on con- cerning student issues. This has been a very busy year so far because there are so many major issues that will be af- fecting all ECU students. Crime is a major con- cern for us as student lead- ers. This summer we gave over two thousand dollars to ECU Public Safety to pur- chase mountain bikes so they can patrol campus and give escorts. SGA did not have to do this, but we feel if we can help make this campus a safer place, then the money was well spent. I encourage all students to use Public Safety if you ever need an escort at night. They are hired to provide safety and secu- rity for all students, so please utilize them by calling 757- 6787 or picking up any blue- light phone. I assure all of you that the SGA is going to keep a close eye on all issues that could affect students in the future. Something we are ((f rss watching very closely is tail- gating. As you know, last year tailgating was restricted to 5 hours before kick-off and this year, kegs were banned. We hope next year, tailgat- ing is not taken away alto- gether. Although no decision has been made yet, there is a lot of talk about further re- strictions being placed on tailgating next year. We (SGA) hopes that certain incidents do not get blown out of proportion more than they already have been. The SGA is tak- ing steps now to work with university officials and the athletic department to solve future problems. Other changes being considered for next year are not selling 12-price guest tickets for ECU foot- ball games and the rear- ranging of the student seat- ing. Once again, no changes have been made yet, but these are some ideas that could be imple- mented next year if uni- versity officials deem it necessary. I will continue to work along with the entire SGA in order to provide the best possible academic and so- cial environment to all ECU students. I encourage and invite each of you to get involved and use your voice by becoming a part of your student govern- ment. Sincerely, Troy S. Dreyfus Student Body Vice President J.?S!
