River Phoenix, a rising star who played the scruffy, cigarette smoking youth in Stand By Me and won an Oscar nomination for Running on Empty, died Sun- day after collapsing outside a club. He was 23. Authorities said the cause of death was unknown. A coroner's examination was ex- pected today. However, drugs might have contributed to the young actor's death, according to a frantic 911 call and a paramedic who spoke to the Daily News of New York. The actor collapsed and went into seizures about 1 a.m. Sunday outside actor Johnny Depp's trendy Viper Room club in West Hollywood after acting strangely, according to compan- ions interviewed by Sheriff's De- partment deputies. A man who called for para- medics said he thought Phoenix See PHOENIX page 2 Former ECU president dies at 95 By Shannon Cooper Staff Writer ECU's expansion from a teacher's college to the third larg- est campus in the state of North Carolina was a result of the active leadership of ECU's fifth presi- dent, John D. Messick. Dr. Messick's impressive and productive presidency stretched over a 12-year period, from 1947 up until his retirement in 1959. Messick spent his retirement years in Wilmington, where he died on Oct. 3 at the age of 95. "During his presidency, East Carolina really began its amazing growth pattern Dr. Mary Jo Bratton, ECU Historian and au- thor of East Carolina University: The Formatwe Years, said. Under Dr. Messick, ECU became coeducational and ex- panded in student enrollment, curriculum and faculty strength. Also, during Messick's presidency. ECU acquired ten new major buildings, modified eight existing structures and purchased eighty acres of land. There was an increase in degree programs, ex- pansion of service functions and legislative approval for the estab- lishment of a nursing school. Messick was a native of South Creek, near Aurora, in Beau- fort County. He pursued his col- lege education at Kings Business College and Elon College. Before beginning his presi- dency at East Carolina, he worked as an educator in NorthCarolina's public schools and at the same time attended graduate schools during the summer. Messick re- ceived his Ph.D in administration and supervision in 1934 fromNew York University. After his retirement in 1959, Messick continued to visit ECU and was present in 1983 for the dedication ceremony of the the- ater arts building, which now car- ries his name. "Dr. Messick was a very ambitious and energetic person Brattonsaid.

Discover possible pathways to your future! By Jennifer Jenkins Staff Writer Are you completely clueless? Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Are you considering ever grow- ing up? Well, ECU is prepared to handle dilemmas such as these. ECU will host its annual Majors Minors Fair on Wednes- day, Nov. 3, from 12:30p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Located in the Mendenhall Great Room, the fair provides teachers and students with a chance to ask questions that students may have about choosing a major and the career opportunities within the major. Over 45 different depart- ments from the school will be at- tending, plus co-op, counseling and career services. The MajorsMi- nors Fair also develops the thought of different options that may not have occurred to the students. For example, the fair allows students to choose a minor that corresponds with their major or introduces them to different departments that are not as well known as others, such as Human and Environmental Sci- ences, Leisure Systems, Hospital- ity Management and many more. Jim Pinkney, a member of the Career Education Committee, be- lieves that the fair is a valuable experience because students can talk to other students who have already been accepted by a spe- cific department. "The informal atmosphere and handou ts for the students to take and read about the different programs within the university help them be more relaxed about choosing a ma- jor Pinkney said. "All of these factors give the students the comfortability of learning about areas in which they are inter- ested Anyone who has not de- cided on a major or minor, or has questions concerning their col- lege career, should visit the Ma- jorsMinors Fair in Mendenhall tomorrow. Halloween's success By Jennifer Jenkins Staff Writer Halloween hit Greenville Saturday night with a flow of wildly-dressed individuals pour- ing into the streets downtown, yelling and screaming but, over- all, not causing too many prob- lems. "Based on prior Halloweens and their problems, this year's Halloween went exceptionally well stated Captain John E. Ennis of Greenville Police Department. This year, Halloween was an av- erage weekend with the excep- tion of the number of people and the way they were dressed. Working together to make the weekend a success were the City of Greenville, ECU's Stu- dentGovernment Association, the downtown area restaurants and taverns, Inter-Fraternity Council and the ECU administration. There were over 100 officers on duty throughout the weekend to provide a safe environment for the students. This success was achieved through cooperation of the students and their decision to celebrate safely. Lt. Keith Knox, of the ECU Police Department "felt that the weather pla"yed a major part in the calmness of the weekend. The rain kept some of the people in the restaurants and taverns. And, it kept some people at home. Nev- ertheless, there was still an abun- dance of people on the streets EastCarolina'sSGAhad five teams of student safety officers stationed in the downtown area to help control the crowd. Head of the legislative committee, Brynn Thomas, "felt that the weekend could not have worked out any better Thomas stated that more people were inside the clubs than in the streets which worked to their advantage, because then the people were not their responsibil- ity. The weekend's goals were accomplished because the stu- dents had fun, the restaurants and taverns made money and the City of Greenville ensured the safety of the town. Each Halloween is becom- ing more of a success because of the working cooperation of the students. Students are starting to think while they are down- town and choose other alterna- tives to going downtown to cel- ebrate. Over 2,000 students at- tended "Midnight Madness" in Mendenhall, which was quite an increase in attendance from last year. The success of this year's Halloween was reflected in the decrease in crime on and off campus, which has posed a threat before. Prior to last year, downtown Greenville re- mained closed for Halloween because of past violence and vandalism. Real blood, violence, fear overshadow Halloween (AP) Real fear edged out the store-bought variety in some cities this Halloween. In Los Angeles, gunmen howling "trick or treat" fired into a church Sunday night, injuring a woman standing at the altar, police said. "Many people started crying and praying said Rosa Basquez, a parishioner at Verbo De Dios church. The victim, 47-year-old Maria de Jesus Garcia, was in serious con- dition after surgery for a stomach wound, police Lt. Earl Paysinger said. In Fullerton, Calif two 9- year-old girls out trick-or-treating were struck and killed by a pizza delivery van Sunday evening. The cousins were just a block from home when they were hit, police Sgt. Neal Baldwin said. The accident was under in- vestigation, and the girls' names were not immediately released pending notification of relatives. Policewereconsideringwhetherto filechargesagainstthe van'sdriver. In Denver, a teen-ager escort- ing youngsters on a trick-or-treat outing was taunted and then shot in thehead by suspected gang mem- bers. Carl Banks, 18, was in critical condition early today at Denver General Hospital, a nursing super- visor said. He was declared brain- dead two hours after the Sunday evening shooting. Police said they had no motive in the attack. In Massachusetts, wary parents in two communities kept costumed children on a short leash?if they let them out at all.

The policy will be presented to the Faculty Senate on Thursday and the Senate will make a decision at the December meeting. Should the resolution pass the policy will be implemented Fall 1994. Legislatures and Executive Board members also debated the dedsionsof the Sept. 27electionfor Executive Secretary.

I hat was the date the University of (ieorgia sophomore was stabbed in the chest as she la in bed in an offompus apartment. In the early morning hours, a man in a ski mask and gloves slipped in through a sliding glass door and crept past sleeping roommates in the apartment. Getzinger woke up with a pillow over her face. She fought off her attacker and felt a sudden pain in her chest. She thought the man had punched her, but the blow turned out to be a knife that pierced her aorta and li er. Thanks to several lucky circumstances ? an ambulance was in the area and a cardiovascular surgeon was on-duty at the hospital ? Getzinger was on the operating table in 16 minutes, and lived to tell her story. She later discovered there was no way students and parents could make an informed decision about the safety of a particular college, on or off campus, because no one was keeping statistics on crimes involving students. After undergoing two heart operations, Getzinger decided to do something about the situation. She founded Safe Campuses Now, which influenced Georgia and Tennessee legislators to pass laws that require police agencies to note in crime reports whether a student was involved in a crime. This enables groups such as Safe Campuses Now to track crimes against stu- dents both on and off campus. So far, those are the only ones in the nation where such statistics are being recorded. In most states, "the schools have absolutely no responsibility, except a moral one, to make students aware of crime that occurs off campus, and that's where most students live Getzinger said. "There's a false sense of security among students. They think they're living in a safe haven No national agency keeps track of crimes against students off campus, and the result is that colleges can report that no rapes occurred on campus in 1992, when in fact, four to five rapes might have occurred just a few blocks from campus. "Most college students live off campus, they party off cam- pus, and most crime occurs off campus said Nancy Zechella, administrative director of Safe Campuses Now in Athens, Ga.

When an eastern Euro- pean couple enters his office one day, he immediately stereotypes them and tries to push them out the door. When the couple demands treatment for their baby, a series of events occur, which makes up the basis of this interesting play.

Although few issues have caused more dis- comfort than the subpoena for Sen. Bob Packwood's diaries, the outcome of this de- bate could really create problems if not handled correctly. The subpeona asks for Packwood's dia- ries from Jan. 1,1989 to the present. The com- mittee staff, with Packwood's cooperation, al- ready has reviewed the prior 20 years of the Republican's diaries. Senator Packwood has been accused by more than two dozen women of making un- wanted sexual advances and some of the women contend that there were attempts to keep them quiet through threats to publicly disclose aspects of their personal lives. Packwood's accommodation ended when committee staffers discovered potential crimi- nal conduct by the senator that was outside the original allegations of alleged sexual miscon- duct and intimidation of witnesses. It was then that the senator's lawyers refused to copy the portions involving potential criminal viola- tions. Packwood has stated that he will pro- vide the committee only with portions directly related to the original ethics charges. And the air on the Senate floor stank of the violation of someone's constitutional right to privacy Indeed, this issue brings about an inter- esting debate: should a Seaietthjcs.Commit- tee have the unalienable figrft to a public official's private diaries simply because she is a public official? Or are these protected under the Constitution's right to privacy? Obviously special favoring cannot be placed on senators, but neither can the Committee be so bold as to proclaim that it is Packwood's duty to hand over diaries that otherwise would remain pri- vate. To be quite honest, Oregon's Sen. Packwood could be the biggest sleazeball of all time, committing numerous criminal acts, but the Senate Ethics Committee still would have no right to subpoena his diaries. Think of it this way: Would you want someone pawing over your diary, all the while legitimizing it by call- ing on the rights of every American to know your personal affairs? Besides, people pad their diaries all the time; who knows whether it's fact or fiction? In this case, not only is the reputation of Packwood on the line, but the reputations and privacy of everyone in the diaries ? this is where the witch hunt begins. For it certainly is no secret that politicians are fodder for the masses. Anyone and everyone loves a scandal, especially a political one. Now, it must be taken into consideration that the original committee probe was specifi- cally intended to reveal clues into the allega- tions of alleged sexual misconduct and intimi- dation of witnesses. With the unearthing of information concerning possible criminal acts, the committee licks its collective chops and hun- grily awaits the feast. But the feast must be postponed ? the main course and his entourage began negotia- tions aiming at striking a compromise for Packwood to turn over only portions of his writ- ings. No compromise has yet been met. Hope- fully that Constitution that the senators hold so dear will stand its ground. Sit tight. By John Adams Acquitals in Denny case exacerbate obvious By Alex Ferguson Cloning materializes as next moral dilemma Youdidnotseea razingofLos Angeles or riots in the streets. There were no angry mobs roaming through the streets of Los Angeles looting and vandalizing private property. Reginald O. Denny was not entered into the impervious world of martyrdom. He was not called upon to urge the people to remain calm in the face of iniquity. Justice has been served. Our political leaders were not standingin line to emphatically criti- cizing the results of the Reginald Denny trial. In fact, California con- gresswoman Maxine Waters has already expressed her delight in the jurors decisions. Janet Reno said tl ?c t the Attor- ney General's office would be re- viewing the Reginald Denny case. Nevertheless, the government will not have to arrange another trial be- cause this time there were no angry mobs to pacify. Janet Reno is merely paying lip service to those in Los Angeles who are unhappy with the outcome of die Denny case, but not unhappy enough to riot. There was no need for our religious and community leaders to lead protests and demonstrations. Nor was there a need for them to question the jurors bigotry. Dan Rather was not be seen in riot gear reporting live from Los Angeles. There was no media blitz in Los Angeles this time. You did notsee the video tape of Reginald Denny being hit in the head with a brick by Damian Will- iams over and over, ad nauseam, with a voice in the background be- moaning, "How could the jurors deny what they saw with their own eyes You did hear the media tell you that everyone in Los Angeles is feelingasenseofreliefthatthe whole Rodney King Reginald Denny epi- sode is over with Relief, though, is die last thingthepeopleofLos Ange- les should be feeling right now. If I lived in Los Angeles right now, Iwouldfeelatingeofnervous- ness in knowing that it is not consid- ered attempted murder when some- one throws a brick as hard as they can into your temple. If I lived in Los Angeles right now, I would feel slightly anxious in knowing mat mob violence is essen- tially condoned asalegitimatemeans for releasing anger and frustration. These are the messages being sent by the jurors in the Reginald Denny case. This is their justice. Damian Williams faces a maximum of ten years in orison. Do you know what that means? He might serve one year. If Williams'case had been heldmNormCarolina,andhe faced a maximum of ten years, he would have already served too much time (theeighteenmonthshespentwait- ing for the end of his trial). Damian Williams'lawyer, Edi M.O. Faal said, "There's no ques- tionwewon'Heisright. The crimi- nal did win. However, this is really nothing new. The criminals in our society have been winning a lot re- cently and will continue to win un- less something is done. Ithasbeenapparent for years that our legal system is crumbling. The scales of justice are tilted with despair. The acquittals in the Reginald Denny case only serve to exacerbate the obvious; that "jus- tice" is merely a word, and as such can be used to mean whatever its user wants it to mean. If you believe justice has beeri served in the Reginald Denny case man consider the words of Alduos Huxley, who wrote, "We lie to our- selves, in order that we may still have the excuse of ignorance, the alibiof stupidity and incomprehen- sion, possessing which wecancon- tinue withagood conscience tocoiri- mitand tolerate themost monstrous crimes Justice is served. Before getting started, I wanted to congratulate all those individuals out there who worked to keep Halloween po- litically correct. You people re- ally strived to ensure no one's costume was offensive or satanic and gave us really swell ideas for costumes, like food or that boogie boppin' boysenberry be- hemoth, Bamey. In fact, you did such a superb job of dictating Letters to the Editor taint our minds with anything from that realm. But hey, folks, this is big news here, and there may even be a controversy you can sink your teeth into. Inter- ested? Read on. Cloning, for those of you who shy away from the biological stint, is the medical art of taking genetic material from a human, in this case a human embryo, sepa- rating it into its component cells Halloween (at least in my neigh- (ouch!) and treating them. The end cloning efforts, or any geneticmedical experimentation, must be properly supervised and acces- sible to the public eye. borhood) that not one kid showed up at my door. I imagine children re- mained in- doors in- stead, huddled in their cos- tume on the bathroom floor, too terrified to step out for fear of offending some fanatic who'd either shoot them or run a full page ad in the local paper, preaching blasphemy and de- manding financial restitution. Consequently, I'm stranded with these huge bags of acne-inspir- ing candy, untouched by youngster's hands, and no real desire to eat it. And I just wanted to say thanks. But seriously. Has any- one been keeping up with the latest in the realm of science? It seems scientists from George Washington University have successfully concocted a method result is multi- embryos, each a replica of the original. Al- lowed to de- velop, they would grow into identical copies of the same person. (Talk about ????"????m1 overexposure!) That was, of course, the Cliff Note's version of how it's done; I don't claim to understand the intricacies of genetic engineer- ing. What I do know is, this is quite a feat in the field of science and another step towards under- standing those fundamental ge- netic blueprints of life we fondly call deoxyribonucleic acid. It's also the beginning of a moral dilemma. (But then, what isn't these days?) When news of the break- through became public, the reac- tions were swift and intense. Ac- cording to the polls taken this past week, three out of four Americans were opposed to cloning, and 46 percent are in favor of banning it tocloneahumanbeing. I'msure altogether. Seems that a majority to most of you that sounds like of the public are concerned with something right out of "Star scientists, and humankind for that Trek and is therefore not worth matter, dabbling in affairs that may listening to. Heaven forbid we be considered sacred and forbid- den. As most people believe in some supernatural presence re- sponsible for our being, a sort of for-God's-eyes-only deal, manu- factured life justdoesn'thold well at all. Now I can see why hav- ing a duplicate of yourself could be a hassle. Everyone getting your name wrong, photo ID mix-up, your twin stealing your dates. I'm sure it must be a living hell when attending the family reunions. But, somehow, I can't accept scientists investing enormous amounts of time and funds into isolating ge- netic material, replicating it and nurturing a new life for the sake of a parlor trick! I mean, they aren't just cloning around here. For God's sake, people, get off your bitch box and quit whining. This isn't the medieval ages, and the thought of a Fran- kenstein complex is insane. I see cloning as a step, not an end. Think of it. What if we could perfect the process to where we only clone organs and limbs of patients who have lost the original and have been rendered handicapped. With the knowledge we would gain, we could learn to weed out hun- dreds of the genetic diseases that plague us all. Yes, trying to bring back dead dinosaurs may be too much (thank yc i Mr. Spielberg). I agree that clonL ig efforts, or any genetic medical experimentation, must be properly supervised and acces- sible to the public eye. We cer- tainly don't need scientists to get carried away and do something foolish, like clone Rush Limb' - jh, or worse, Dan Cortese. But to ban these efforts outright would be denying us a science that could benefit all humankind. To the Editor On December 6, the ECU basketball team opens its homeseasonagairBtCampbellUniversity.Thosefolkswill be gunning for a win against our Pirates. This basketball game is the first d .ance for the stu- dentsandstaffofECUandthecommunityofECUsupport- ers to set the stage for what could be a very fun winter in Greenville. Very few of us were in Richmond and Winston- SalemlastMarch when EddiePayne displayed thecoach- ing ability mat led to his hiring two and a half years ago. There is time for the administration to secure a "packed" Minges Colesium on December 6. The effort to do so must start now. This is to be the last season in the Minges that we know and love. With proper leadership from the administration, these games this year could be sold out and filled each and every night. The team is going to be the most competitive it has been in years. Thestudentbody mustbechallenged likeithasbeen challenged for certain football games. The students must respond. It will be mis basketball season that will go a long way towards our being considered for conference affilia- tion for football Sounds strange, but true. Thecheerleadersmusttakeitupon themselves to- assure three to four thousand students come to every home game. They must be allowed to make the atmd sphere one of fun and craziness all wrapped into one. This will require extra incentives to be done each night with students and others. These home games serve as "recruiting week- ends" for the football team.

MikeRadford ECU Graduate To the Editor The University has abrogated its responsibility to provideasafelearningenvironmentforitsstudents.Inthe wake of recent attacks, I'm appalled that the only recom- mendation to increase public safety is to walk in groups of three or more. Will this really prevent crime? Doesn't it merely promote vigilantism? If I get a big enough gang, then we can walk the campus at will and feel safe. True, there is stength in numbers, but this ignores the cause of the trouble. Whatprevents those whoarecommittingthe crime from roaming campus in ever increasingly larger numbers? What are the campus and local police doing? What action is the Chancellor taking? Give us something more than a in loco parents benediction, "Be careful tonight, dear. Don't walk alone This is simply unrealistic. A student's schedule is unpredictable; it is probably more difficult to find two other people with the same study habits than itis to meeta compatiblespouse. In theabsence of action and leadership from those in authority, we, the students, will be forced to divert time and effort from studies and the process of growing up to protect our- selves.

Greenville's New Garden of Eden is one such organization. It wasfounded b Hollis Lilley, a former ECU student. The New Gar- den of Eden has taken as one of its goals to involve as many people as possible in the fight to preserve the natural state of the enviroment. Lilley says that the battle has been compounded by politics and igno- rance, but that now is the time for change. Whereas many environmental organizations tend to focus on par- ticular species, Lillev would like to cover all aspects of the issue. A lofty goal, you might say, but Lillev in- sists that people need to consider ? ?? ill happen if we allow the ?I species after species of plant and animal life. When discussing the ramifica- tion of such seemingly progres- sive actions as developing residen- tial and commercial areas, "A lot of i- eople just don't realize when thev say, 'I'm going to put a shopping mall here they don't think about what they're doing to the environ- ment said Lilly. Lilley commented that such things have damaged the natural landscape and its inhabitants, and he fears that the same will continue to occur if people don't begin to address such problems. The New Garden of Eden's ani- mal and plant population presently consists mainly of domestic spe- cies, but Lilley said that the organi- zation will broaden its scope in the future. Plans are being made to open the refuge to the public. The key to the organization's success, however, lies in public and governmental sup- Campus Paperback Bestsellers 1. Rising Sun. Dy Mchae.

PuuHtwuToui utccuno at caxtm rronu Deaf students to perform 'Beauty and the Beasf Experience theatre from an uplifting angle By Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer Can you tell a story without us- ingyour voice? Mostpeoplecan't but the upcoming Fantasy Group's pre- sentation of "The Silent Beauty and theTalkingBeasfwillgiveeveryong anopportunitytoexperiencejustthat kind of story. In 1978, theSign LanguageClub, orSigma Lambda Fraternity, wascre- ated by ECU students. The fraternity has 40members, both hearing and ueaf. Its purpose is to promote deaf awareness and introduce the deaf lifestyle to the public. Oneof its most exciting activities is itssponsorshipof Fantasy. Fantasy is a song, sign and drama group con- sisting of both deaf and hearing fra- ternity members. The group inter- prets popular music and drama into sign language. Last year the fraternity wrote a play to address the issues faced by deaf people in a hearing world. One year Fantasy hosted a special Christ- mas play. In the past, Fantasy did an adaptation of the movie. Grease. The group also performs for manv public schools in the area. This year's play is not only for deaf people, but also for those interested insign language and anyone who likes new experiences. With the aid of an interpreter, I had the opportunity to talk with Pat Stiviand and Bryan Kennedy about the play. The story is about a deaf prince who lives in a town where all of the residents are deaf. Because of his ar- rogance, he gets cursed and turns into a beast. He also becomes able to hear. Some of the castle workers be- come deaf, and others retain their ability to hear, though they never sign in front of the beast. The beast does not have the ability to sign so he can no longer communicate with the townspeople. Belle thencomes into the picture. She is deaf, and she teaches the beast patience and sign language. Soon they fall inlove,butI'll keep See DEAF page 6 port, as well as funding from a ma- jor sponsor. Many of the animals that are currently housed in the organization's refuge?located in nearby Grimesland?belong to the bird population. Residents include ducks, white and Indian blue pea- cocks and rare breeds of chickens. Some of the refuge's most prized possessions, and its only wild spe- cies, are blue-eared pheasants, which Lilley said are rare birds. You can become a member of The New Garden of Eden for an annual cost of S25 to $30. You'll receive periodic newsletters and other information regarding impor- tant news on the environmental scene, plus the satisfaction of know- ing that you're making an effort to assist the survival and expansion of plant and animal populations. Lilley said that he realizes the extremes that some organizations can reach when trving to drum up support, and that the New Garden of Eden?a non-profit outfit?fries tostay away from tactics that would alienate its patrons and harm its animals and plants.The organization's intent, for example, is not to raise animals merely for the sake of preservation in captivity. Rather, Lilley would like to heip certain populations to succeed on their own in their own natural envi- ronments. He said that he understands the problems with trying to solicit support through such mediums as the mail, and hehopes that people's interest in environmental issues will be strong enough to make them want to join the cause. You can call Hollis Lilley at 355-0981, or write to The New Gar- denof Edenat 100 Duran St Green- ville, N.C, 27858 for information. Lilley said that one dollar contribu- tions with correspondence, to help with printing and mailing, will be appreciated. Remember, you too can make a difference. Actor DeNiro tries hand at directing By Ike Shibley Staff Writer Robert DeNiro has been re- garded as a magnificent actor for almost 20 years. His chameleon? like ability to become the charac- ter he plays has won him rave reviews and garnered him an Academy Award for his memo- rable performance as Jake LaMotta inRagingBull. Now DeNiro wants to expand his horizons and move behind the camera as well as in front of it. DeNiro's debut directorial ef- fort , A Bronx Tale, the tale is one of a young boy growing up in a neighborhood run by a gangster. A Bronx Tale opens and closes with a monologue by the main character, Cologero Anello (a role filled by two different actors: Francis Capra plays the nine-year- old Cologero, and Lillo Brancato plays the 17-year-old boy). Cologero, later nicknamed "C becomes fascinated by the local mob kingpin, Sonnv (Chazz Palminteri). He watches his every move, knows all the members in his gang and intently studies his mannerisms. Cologero, for ex- ample, notes that Sonny has five fingers but that he only uses three?the thumb, forefinger and pinkie?in a suave hand motion that accentuates all that he says. The one interesting feature of this film, and the one that sepa- rates it from so many other gang- ster films, is that Cologero has a family that cares for him. The most interesting character in A Bronx Tale is Cologero's father, Lorenzo (Robert DeNiro). Lorenzo drives a bus seven days a week and proudly tells his son the benefits of being an hon- est, hard-working American. Lorenzo refuses to drop off num- bers for Sonny while on his bus route even though it would mean a lot of money for his family. Lorenzo's virtues radiate across the screen. They become so righ- teous, though, that they threaten to sink the character in a sea of political correctness. Lorenzo, thankfully, appears much more human, because the script allows the audience to see othersidesof him. When Cologero talks about dating a Afican-Ameri- can girl, Lorenzo tells him that he never will because he would not dishonor the family in such a way. Certain aspects of Lorenzo's per- sonality make the audience aware of his faults. A Bronx Tale was written by Chazz Palminteri, the actor who plays Sonny, and is based on his play. One of the strongest aspects of the film is Palminteri's story. Though its foundation proves somewhat familiar( like a cross between Goodfellas and Boyz in the Hood) the main characters are given such depth and complexity that the story fascinates the viewer throughout the film. Palminteri gives a great per- formance. Sonny exudes the fear, distrust and confidence necessary for his role with the perfect amount of warmth. As Sonny tells Cologero about the two types of education he needs?one in school, one in the street?the audience can feel the love he has for the boy. Sonny treats Cologero like the son he never had. In the process, he al- most makes Lorenzo look prud- ish. The audience feels Cologero's pain as he struggles to understand the impact that these two differ- ent men have on his life. DeNiro provides workman- like direction. He tells the story in much the same way as Martin Scorsese, who directed DeNiro in a number of films, but without Scorsese's famed technical flair. Some scenes in particular cry out for more direction. A barroom fight in which Sonny and his men maim a group of bikers loses its kinetic intensity because DeNiro never allows the audience to see the horrific vio- lence occurring. Perhaps DeNiro wanted to record the fight the way Cologero See DENIRO page6 Garrick Utley makes switch from suffering NBC to ABC NEW YORK (AP) ? Garrick Utley, a veteran of three decades at NBC News, decided in August not to stay. Not that he really left the only employer he'd ever known. The truth is, NBC had left him first. No matter. In September, Utley signed on at ABC News as chief foreign correspondent. "I'm happy as a kid says the 53-year-old newsman a few davs later, camped in a temporary of- fice at ABC headquarters before heading to his new London base. "Yes, it's strange faces, and, yes, it's disorienting. But to walk in to this kind of a welcome, from (ABC News President) Rcone Arledge on down?well, they couldn't be more supportive. It's a very precious and rare atmo- sphere All the more so, compared to the network with which Utley parted company. "Things have changed over there the last several years, as we all know he says. That change might be summed up in two words?General Electric, which after swallowing NBC in 1986 in- troduced its news division to cost- cutting, layoffs and plunging mo- rale that only in recent months has bottomed out?maybe. Still, Utley insists his "was a wonderful ride for 30 years His ride started in Brussels, where in July 1963 the Chicago- born Utley was hired by then-bu- reau chief John Chancellor. A year later, the 24-year-old, S62.50-a-week newspup went to Viet Nam, where he covered the escalating conflict for "The Huntley-Brinkley Report From there, Utley went on to report from more than 70 coun- tries and serve as the network's chief foreign correspondent. Among other honors, he won the prestigious Peabody Award, known as broadcasting's Pulitzer. Utley would never be the lead- ing man type. But exhibiting a courtly and knowledgeable on- the-air demeanor, with a name that sounded like a twinge of indi- gestion and the stone face and 6- foot-6 uprightness of a mission- ary priest, Utley became a distinc- tive TV presence. And he reliably served in a wide range of roles. Most recently, Utley anchored "Weekend Today" and the Sun- day "Nightly News But over the years, he helmed just about every show NBC News could come up See UTLEY page 6 Poet swings through campus By Jessica Stanley Staff Writer On Thursday, Nov. 4, award- Hirtningpoetandshortstory writer Leslie Norris will be coming to campus to read from his works and to conduct a writing work- shop.

SB -wJ James Laid 00 0 0 In the early 80s, many bands with strange and new sounds came out of Manchester, England. They had names like Joy Division, New Order and The Smiths. In 1983, Manchester witnessed the formation of James, after they came to the attention of Factory Records. Their first two singles on this label, "What's the World" and "Hymn from a Village immedi- ately set them apart from nearly all of their contemporaries. Their music had hit upon a new, unex- plored sound, the angularity of new wave married to an almost folkish tranquillity. Their fame spread quickly across England, and even Morrisey, lead singer of The Smiths, professed a public love for the band and invited them to tour with The Smiths. In 1985, James signed with Sire records and produced their first twoalbums. Shifter and SfnpMmi Although these albums received much critical acclaim and were great original works, they never really reached an audience. James left the label in 1988 and the band V Take Your Chances JWV Definite Purchase expanded, adding more mem- bers and different instruments? keyboard, trumpet and violin. Phonogram signed the band, and their next studio album, Gold Mother proved to be a turning point. Their fan base grew. 1992 saw the release of their million? selling Seven, estab- lishing their position as a major rock band, which brings us to 1993 and their new album, Laid. The album takes off in a new direction with more folk and acoustic?oriented music that gives a more stripped-down sound. This album is subtle in both its lyrics and shifting nature of the sound, which is due, in part, to their first collaboration with Brian Eno. "As a producer, he's quite unlike anyone we've ever worked with states Tim Booth (singer), "Very balanced, very focused and extreme' encour- aging, he encouraged us to im- provise and take chances This album is full of power- ful and compelling songs. The interplay between the band's musical fluidity and Booth's plaintive voice has an almost or- ganic result. Most of the songs, like "Low, Low, Low" and "Skindiving" have a soft lullaby sound. Even the more upbeat tunes like "Laid" and "One of the Three" are sedate at their cores. Laid is James' best effort yet. It seems as if their talents have reached a pinnacle on this al- bum. If you like relaxing and thought-provoking music, this one is for you. ? Kris Hoffler ?. November 2, 1993 Continued from page 5 ict up at ys, I just yo on.

The fight might have left a bigger impression if the violence had been viewed in toto instead of in two-second bursts of action. Too many times, I wished the camera would stay on a character a little longer during a given scene instead of switching back and forth between characters. The emotional impact of several intense scenes was muted. Still, A Bronx Tale is an aus- picious beginning to DeNiro's directorial career. He may de- velop into a true artist on both sides of the camera. Though not all aspects of A Bronx Tale work perfectly, enough quality storytelling is present to warrant a hearty rec- ommendation.

Drenching rains at Lane Stadium provided the backdrop for another ECU collapse, when Virginia Tech dencheda31-12 victory over the Pirates. This win enabled the Hokies to even the record to 44 in a series between the two teams that began in 1956.

Runners perform well By Kerry Nestor Staff Writer East Carolina's men's and women's crosscountry teams trav- eled to Williamsburg, Va. last Sat- urday to compete in the CAA Championship meet on the cam- pus of William & Mary on a rainy and mud-soaked day. The Tribe dominated both the men and women, placing first over- all and taking three of the top five spotson both sides. Marcie Homan of William & Mary took first place with a time of 17:28.940. For the men, Steve Swift, alsoof the Tribe, had a 24:12.431, good for first place. For the Pirates, the women made significant improvementson last year's seventh-place finish placing third, while the men moved up one notch to take sixth place. Freshman Dava Rhodes led the way for the Pirates with a 3rd- place overall finish, coming in ahead of three very powerful Wil- liam & Mary runners with a time of 18:21.413. Next came sister Tara Rhodes with a time of 18:41.699, good for 12th place. "Dava and Tara ran a great race Assistant Head Coach Charles Justice said. "They made great strides today towards be- coming two of the CAA's elite Stacy Green came in third for the women, 24th overall with a time of 19:29.069. Cathrine Norstrand followed with a 28th place finish on a posted time of 19:37.340 and Jessica Montgom- ery rounded out the top five for the Lady Pirates with a time of 19:40.277, good for 31st place. The most important finish for the women proved to be Montgomery's. She was able to finish ahead of fourth place fin- isher George Mason's fourth and fifth place runners. This turned out to be the difference in the points.

Future star freshman Chris Padgett and present star senior Justin Finck each scored a goal to lift the Pirates to a 2-1 victory over the Eagles of Ameri- can University. The contest marked the first win this year against a CAA op- ponent for the Pirates after los- ing their previous six. ECU now stands at 5-13 as they head to the University of Richmond for the CAA Tournament.

Volleyball finishes home schedule ByBradOldham Staff Writer The East Carolina volleyball team played their last home games of the season this weekend at Minges Coliseum. The Pirates picked up their first win of the season in the Colonial Conference witha 15-13,15-5,and 15-3victory over the Dukes of James Madison on Friday night. The Pirates were not as successful against the Tribe of William & Mary though, losing the match in three games, 8-15,12- 15, and 2-15 on Saturday after- noon. "We played well against JMU said ECU head coach Martha McCaskill. "William & Mary was just much better. We needed to step up a notch against them to win, but we didn't. The service errors cost us game two, and wecameoutflatingame three. Hopefully, we can learn from this game. We blocked well, ran the offense fairly good,buthad trouble passing the ball. The Tribe just has a class team The Pirates jumped all over the Dukes Friday night. Freshman Carrie Brnehad 11 kills and setter Sarah Laurent had 34 assists in the victory. On defense, Bme had six- teen digs, while Staci Winters had two solo blocks and three block assists. Sophomore middle-hitter Tara Venn also helped the Pirates in the win with strong play at the net. With the Tribe of William & Mary, it was a different story alto- gether. William & Mary controlled the first game early, taking an 8-0 lead behind the serving of junior Kathy Bell. The Tribe stopped all attempts by ECU to spike at the net. A late game rally by EastCaro- lina fell short, as they lost 15-8. The Pirates came out tough in game two, jumping out to a 4-1 lead. The Tribe fought back be- hind juniors Tanya Mitchell and Heather Burke. The Pirates again got good play from Bme, along with sophomores Melanie Richards and Tonya Collins to keep thingsdosetheentiregame. Although ECU played tough, they lost game two 15-12. It was obvious the Pirates were drained after the second game. The Tribe came out in game three and destroyed the Pirates 15-2,controlling virtually every aspect of the game. The Pirates are now 10-19 overall, and 1-3 in the CAA. ECU travels to UNC-Wilmington on Tuesday for their last regular sea- son conference match. The CAA Championship is scheduled for November 20-21 in Williamsburg, Va. "I feel good about where we are now going into the tourney. We need to stay focused. We're playing well for the most part McCaskill said. "Right now we need to re- group before facing Wilmington. I'm psyched about going to the tournament, though Bme said. "I feel we can defini tely bea t any team in the conference Tarheels stomp Buc Ruggers, 23-6 By W.W. Ellis Staff Writer With the North Carolina Col- legiate Rugby Championship at stake, the Pirates did not pick a good time to come up short. Satur- day, the Tirate ruggers were de- molished 23-6 by an experienced University of North Carolina team. For the first rime this season, they could not cross an opponent's goal line. Carolina scored first on two penalty goals. When the Pirates came back, Carolina scored tolead 13-3. Just before the half, Rich Moss added his second penalty goal to make it 13-6. Down by a try, thePiratescame charging out in the second half,but just could not get the ball over the line. They were repeatedly turned away by a determined Tarheel de- fense. In their enthusiasm to score, ECU created their own downfall. Any Carolina offensiveeffort which got past the initial ECU defense was bound to go a long way be- cause the Pirates were crowding forward on offense and playing close to the edge. Eventually, Carolina forced another ECL' penalty and added three points. Then, they a ppiied the coup de grace with a long run for another try. Whena Piratedefender high-tackled the ball carrier, the point for the conversion attempt was justifiably moved directly in front of the posts for an easy con- version.

East Carolina could not afford mistakes against a team as experi- enced as Carolina. They thrive on opposition miscues. To some ex- tent, the younger Pirates contrib- uted to their defeat with untimely penalties and basic mistakes with a wet, slippery ball. Carolina simply took what ECU gave them and did something creative with it. "Carolina began pressureat the opening kickoff and never let up. They just kicked our butts said Coach Larry Babits.

The Pirates are now 2-6 with three games left in the season.

Thefirsthalf ended in a score- less tie with both squads strug- gling to create any decent scoring opportunities. The Pirates got on the scoreboard about 10 minutes into the second half when Padgett slipped past the AU defense and got tangled up with Eagle goalie Dave Urbach. Fortunately, Padgett got just enough of his foot on the ball to dribble it past the goal line for a 1-0 lead. The goal ini- tially looked as if it might pro- vide a spark to the non-existent ECU offense. Shortly thereafter, AU had the Pirates back on their heels and the Eagles evened up the score at one. Neal Davis was able to put the ball in the net off a direct kick. The kick was lofted over the ECU defense and caught DeWeese out of posi- tion. Davis then finished it off with an open net goal. Follow- ing the goal, some heated words were exchanged be- tween DeWeese and AU for- ward Andrew Graham and the two had to be separated. The Pirates' game-winning goal came with 6:27 left when Finck smacked a left footer from a tough angle past Urbach to give ECU a 2-1 advantage that they would never relin- quish.
