Early Sunday morning, Nov. 7, a dance in Mendenhall Student Center hosted by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity was brought to a halt when a fight broke out. A shot was fired and campus police ar- rested five non-studentson charges of disorderly conduct. The fight began inside Mendenhall, broke up momentarily and resumed outside in the park- ing lot. The two Public Safety offic- ers serving as security for the party called for back-up and by the time they arrived on the scene, someone fired a shot and the fight ended. "The subjects were ordered to the ground,a weapon wasfound by an officer up underneath the reartireoftheautomobile'Crime Prevention Officer Keith Knox. "Also, a holster that fit that par- ticular weapon was found inside the front seat of that car Public Safety arrested Maurice Lamont Daniels, 17, Antwon Lamont Anderson, 16, Lynn Leeshen Moore, 20, Damon Tyrell Moore, 19, and Lorenzo Devon Howard, 18. All five were placed under $200 secured bond atthe Pitt County Jail. None of the individuals are ECU students. "Wedidn'tmakeanyarrests of the students who were there Knox said. "We don't really know who all was involved in the fights. Those were the individuals who were fighting when the shot was fired Cedric Van Buren, an ECU student who attended the party, complained that Public Safety failed to control the fight before it moved outside. "Our fraternity brothers broke up the fight and escorted the people outside Van Buren said. "The Public Safety officers should have made sure they va- cated the premises. "The whole incident could have been nipped in the bud if Public Safety had done their jobs. We're paying them $100 a night to come in and talk with their friends. They don't do anything Van Buren said. Knox said the Public Safety officers performed their jobs cor- rectly. "My understanding is that the fight had broken up prior to the actual officers getting involved in it. Theofficers thatwere present had called for additional officers. As they were arriving, they had dispersed, and then the fight broke back out again. And it all hap- pened within a matter of seconds or minutes Knox said PublicSafety has a policy of escorting people out to their cars to insure that they leave campus. "Idon'tknowatthatpoint whether we had determined that these individuals were involved before the fight broke out again. Some of the officers ran outside to identify the suspects and that's when they heard the shots fired Van Buren and Demetrius Carter, presidentof ABLE said their fraternity has had problems with Public Safety before. "I've been at partieswherel would gogetPub lie Safety because I saw some mari- juana or drugs, and they don't move Van Buren said. "They've sprayed mace at two more of our parties earlier this year "We've sat down with the new director, Teresa Crocker, to resolve the guest policy Carter said. "We've revised it to include the way Public Safety handles themselves and what our respon- sibilities are Knox said that Public Safety has had problems at Alpha Phi Alpha parties before. "We've had several occasions where there have been fights that end up in the park- ing lots or the area outside the public building. "One of the histories of those dances is that there have been oc- casions where we have individu- als who are visiting that, and we have actually picked up weap- ons off individuals he said. Knox said that he could not respond to the mace inci- dents. "I wasn't there, so I don't knowwhatoccurredatthatpar- ticular incident Both he and ECU Chief Ronnie Avery said that they were not aware of any of the pepper spray incidents and that no one had filed a com- plaint regarding them. Public Safety provides two officers for security at campus parties held at Mendenhall. "We provide one officer, who is on duty, in addition to a student patrol officer who takes care of the field part of it Knox said. "There is a policy set in place through residence life that we follow their guidelines SGA rejects proposed bill anycre?

Photo by Leslie Petty Get out the checkbooks again By Jason Williams Staff Writer Tuition bills for spring se- mester will go out soon and many people will be in for a surprise. In addition to the usual tuition and fees, students will be charged an additional $9 for the fee increase for the current semester. Rather than send out new Mils at the beginning of this semes- ter, university cashier Michael Balko, Jr. said his office elected to include the fee increase in the next bill. He said it would not have been cost-efficient to mail out 18,000newbills. The bills for spring semester will go out the week of Nov. 22. "Tuition is set by the legisla- ture, while fees are set by the Board of Governors Balko said. "The Board of Governors cannot make a decision on fees until they find out what the legis- lature is going to do. In this case, the Boa rd of Governors made their decision shortly after the bills for the fall went out The cashier's office hasbeen collecting the fee over the course of the semester. "We try to remind peop le when they come in for other business, that they owe the fee Balko said. "We've already col- lected a good portion of it Students do not have to pay the $9 now, however. Balko said students can wait until they re- ceive a bill without penalty. Those who grad uate in December will be billed separately. Those who have not paid the fee need not worry about being unable to register for classes. Stu- dents will not be tagged for having unpaid fees and they will be al- lowed to register as usual. "This is different from hav- ing unpaid bills for dorm damage, the library, parking you will be tagged for these and you will not beable to register for classes Balko said. The $9 increase in student fees applies only to full-time stu- dents and includes an $8 increase in health services fees and a $1 increase in other university fees. Pa rt-time students will be billed $2 for the fee increase. The Cashier's Office has opted not to rebill students in a similar situation before. "We once underbilled by $0.50 for the fall semester Balko said. "It would have cost too much to send out new bills to 18,000 students to get $0.50 in return, so we waited until the next semester and billed them then Balko said the fee increase wa s announced in The Da ily Reflec- tor and The News & Observer, but not in The East Carolinian. "We haven'thad any contact with the campus paper he said. "We elected to get people as they came in and rebill the others on the next bill By Laura Allard Staff Writer Graduate Class President Mike Hadley introduced a bill at last night's Student Government Association meeting that may have reduced problems in future SGA elections. The bill called for a more thor- ough elections report to be pre- sented to the legislature, a review board to review the actions of the legislature and a review board to examine the election itself, in order to initiate any changes that would be helpful for future elections. The bill wasdefeated in a vote of 18 to 16. It was the consensus of the legislature, the executive coun- cil,andadvisorsRudolphAlexander and Dean of Students Ronald Speier, that a revision of the rules is necessary before any future elec- tions take place. The current election rules call for a review of the elections chair after each election and before an- other election takes place. No such review has occurred for the election this fall, but mis was justified by Secretary Kristie Hoffstedder who said that the Elections Chair, Justin Conrad, has resigned his position. The current rules also call for the Elections Chair to submit a re- port to the SGA President, Speaker, Secretary and Legislature within one weekof theelection.This semester's report was filed last week. Elections were held on Sept. 29. Conrad's explanation for this is that the current rules make no provisionforwhen the report should be turned in, if there are problems during the election. The current rules also require that the report include the number ofvotescastintheelection,thenum- ber of votes cast at each polling place and any information and rec- ommendation the Elections Com- mittee would like to give the SGA. This semester's report in eluded the total number of votes and thenumber of votes castateach polling place, but mentioned none of the problems in the election. The report included the required infor- mation, but was not helpful to the legislative body. HacHesbili required that the report include the winner of each race, the candidates who were dis- qualified from the election, the ac- tionsoftheElections Review Board, should there be any and recom- mendations for subsequent elec- tions. SGA advisor Dean Speier and Rudolph Alexander, recom- mended that similar changes be made in response to the past elec- tion They felt that their role as advisors was to let the rules of the body govern the process, but they are recommending changes for future elections. SGA Speaker, Brynn Tho- mas, announced his plan to form a committee to revise the rules, after the presentation of Hadley's bill and before the vote on it. He de- scribed the issue as being "at the top of the executive agenda Thomas stated that his com- mittee members will be appointed before Christmas, and the commit- tee will consider all of the rules. He stated "all rules are subject to change The decisions of this com- mittee are to be announced to the legislature and voted onbefore the Spring elections. A new elections chair will be appointed by the Ex- ecutive Council and voted on by the legislature before the spring elections. New Student Union director wants creativity By Jennifer Jenkins Public Safety's new director responds to students By Laura Allard Staff Writer Teresa Crocker became the newdirector of ECU's Department of Public Safety on Nov 1,1993. Crocker came tr �CU from North Carolina Statt University (NCSU), where she served as assis- tant director of Public Safety from 1991 to 1993. She succeeds campus police Chief Ron Avery, who acted as in- terim director, after James Depuy resigned last winter after the wire- tapping controversy. Crocker described herself as "responsible for all law enforce- ment on campus She is ?!so the director of 37 sworn officers over 500 acres. Crocker already has her foot in the door with an agenda for the new future, based on her percep- tions of the campus and what ECU students need. "We need to do some things with our manpower, particularly in the areas of bicycle larceny and breaking and entering crimes in satellite parking lots she said. Th number of bicycle larce- niesat NCStatehasdecreased over the past few years, due in part to rules requiring bikes to be regis- tered with the university, and the education of students on how to properly secure iheir bikes. Crocker suggested these pro- cedures will protect bikeson ECU's campus. In reference to the recent at- tacks on students, Crocker says the Public Safety Department has "done a very good job of informing students of serious crimes. Our job is to continue to educate new and returning students about well-lit areas, escort services and the Pira te Ride program "Currentlystudentsare fairly well-informed about how to pro- tect themselves Crocker said. "But each student must take re- sponsibility for their own safety. See CROCKER page 3 Staff Writer The new director of student activities, Stephen James Gray, is expanding the boundaries of stu- dent activities on campus. Gray, exclaims that, "he is challenging the students to be more creative with the events that happen on campus Before Gray was named the director of student activities for ECU, he was the coordinator for the University of Iowa's Office of Campus Programs and Activities for six years. Therefore, he has the experience it takes to make stu- dents activities more of a success. Improvements ha ve already started to show through with Gray's support. The Pennies for Hendrix has set a goal of 35,000 pennies to be given away in late April. This prize will be given to one of the patrons of Hendrix The- ater. Also, the Student Union is randomly giving away door prizes at different movies. For example, they are giving away $100 for spring semester books and tickets to a madrigal. In the future, Gray hopes to improve Barefoot on the Mall. He has hopes in making it more of a program than a one-day festival. Gray would like to tie in education and heal thseminarsthroughoutthe Stephen Cray, the new director of Student Activities, is trying to develop different events for students. Perhaps he has a reform idea for the registration process week to go along with the spring theme of the previous festivals. In September of 1994, Gray hashelped schedulea campus lead- ership program. Thisprogramwill provide training for student lead- ers on ECU's campus. Some of the groups included will be LEAD, RHA, Student Union, SGA, Photo by Cedric Van Buren Panhellenic Council and other groups. Gray is trying to help stu- dentsdo something differentand less conforming that will educate the population of ECU. "Every activity will have something new to add to the curriculum Gray said. tun November 16 1993 Puerto Rico's voters speak out Pregnancy, poverty go hand in hand Statistics on adolescent sexuality, pregnancy and childbirth show that a pregnancy can be a crisis in a young woman's life, but the reason has more to do with poverty than age, say researchers who have conducted an extensive study into the problem in the United Statesand the United Kingdom. The study also reveals that despite an American stereotypedepictinga poor minority woman as the typical mother, 68 percent of all adolescent births in the U.S. are white teens, and over half the births are to unmarried mothers. The study resu Ited in several astonishing figures. An estimated 45 percent of all U.S. female teenagers have premarital sex, and most are not consistent contraceptive users. As a result, an estimated 40 percent of females become pregnant at lea st once before age 20, and about four-fifths of these pregnancies are unintended. Study: Smokers have other bad habits Well, smokers, there's more bad news for you from research- ersat Florida State University and San Diego University. While you may be getting more spaces on campus to smoke, you may not have the energy to get there. Chances are you drink too much alcohol and caffeine, don't exercise enough and eat all the wrong kinds of foods. "It appears that bad habits cluster said Doris Abood, a Florida State associate professor of health education. The research found that never-smokers consumed less than fivealcoholicdrinks a week, while heavy smokers had more than 10 beverages in a week. Smokers also skipped meals more often than non-smokers, and when they did eat, leaned toward salty, high-fator fried foods. Heavy smokersalso said they drink nearly fivecupsofcoffeedaily. Pepperdine students help California fire victims Students at Pepperdine University helped victims of the fires that swept through Southern California in late October and early November and destroyed hundreds of homes throughout the area. Although several hundred outlyingacresat Pepperdine, located in Malibu, were burned, students at the university organized a disas- ter response team to help those whose homes were destroyed in the fire. The response teams worked as a liaison between the victims and social service agencies to find assistance for the fire victims. Classes at the university were canceled for two days because of the hazardous conditions and road blocks. Although classes resumed on Nov. 3, the effects of the smoke were still evident on campus. "This place smells like a barbecue said university spokesperson Jeff Bliss. Compiled by Maureen Rich. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. (AP)SANJUAN, Puerto Rico �Flag-waving Puerto Ricans voted against pursuing statehood, choos- ing instead to remain a U.S. com- monwealth in the first ballot on the island's status in more than a quar- ter-century. Sunday's vote turned back the strongest movement this century forfull union with Washington Gov. Pedro Rossello, who spearheaded the campaign for Puerto Rico to become America's 51st state, con- ceding defeat but urging support- ers to continue the fight. Commonwealth supporters danced in the streets and said they would press for a redefinition of the island's ties with the United States. Although the margin of vic- tory for commonwealth status was less than three percentage points, "This was a clear repudiation of statehood said Miguel Hernandez Agosto, a senator who leads the pro-commonwealth Popular Democratic Party. Commonwealth received 823,258, or 48.4 percent of the vote; statehood 785,859, or 46.2 percent; independence 75,253, or 4.4 percent. Turnoutwas higher than pre- dicted, with 73.6 percent of Puerto Rico's 2.3 million registered voters casting ballots. It was the first vote on the island's status in 26 years. Commonwealth celebrants jammed traffic, honked horns, waved PuertoRican flagsand tooted trumpets. Ethnic pride and economic concerns were among the main is- sues in the non-binding referend urn. Commonwealth supporters con- tended the island's culture and Spanish langua ge migh t be lost and noted that becoming a state would mean Puerto Ricans would have to pay federal taxes. The island also would no longer have been able to offer the tax break that attracts industry and has helped gi ve i t one of the highest standards in the Caribbean and Latin America, though still well below thatof the poorest U.S. states. Statehood supporters said it would bring billions of additional dollars in federal aid and played to Puerto Ricans' fears by saying thei r U.S. citizenship might be lost if they stayed a commonwealth. Political status has been hotly debated here almost since the mo- ment U.S. troops captured the Car- ibbean island from Spain in 1898. Puerto Rico became a com- monwealth with some autonomy in 1952, two years after Puerto Rican nationalists tried to assassinate President Harry Truman. As a commonwealth, Puerto Ricoelectsa non-voting representa- tive to Congress and ha s no vote for president. Statehood would have allowed it to elect at least six con- gress representatives,aswellastwo senators.

Jtwill use the Black and Eecker interactive televi- sion network and plant sites as "learning laboratories" for gradu- ate students from Black and Decker and military bases close to theBlack and Decker plants, in lieu of tradi- tional classrooms. "This program is unique in it's delivery of an entire program through the use of technological advances said Dr. Elmer Poe, a professor and chairof the industrial technology program. Outofthe2,850proposalsthat were submitted to the project, 41 were given early approval. Only two were from universities, and ECU was the only one in North Carolina. Submissions were taken .

This behav- ior will go a long way in prevent- ing crimes from occurring Crocker is pleased with the new bicycle patrol unit since offic- ers on bicycles are better able to hear thingsand communicate with student. Crocker also stated that Pub- lic Safety intends to maintain a 24- hour patrol within the next few months. "This is one of the best pro- grams you can have on a college campus Crocker said. ECU is particularly well- suited for the bicycle patrol and the climate is particularly conducive to the program. Crocker joined theNCSU De- partment of Public Safety in 1981. In 1989 she becamechief investiga- tor and in 1991 she was appointed assistant director over a staff of 42 officers, 30 reserve officers and 40 student employees. from more than 12,000 companies, universities, federal research labs and state and local governments from 50 States, including the Dis- trict of Columbia. The program is designed around the idea of a satellite course linked between ECU'S School of Technology and Black and Decker's plant located in Tarboro, N.C. The company director of the program, Gary Lanier, is the senior program engineer, and is the Director of Tech- nical Training at Black and Decker, Inc. The program will target cities suchasFayertevilleand Easton,Md. and hopefully in two to three years, will spread tosuchcitiesasTowson, Md Hampstead, Md and Asheboro, N.C. The program will award, to those who successfully complete the program, a master of science in Industrial Technology with a concentration in manufac- turing from ECU. The program will serve 60 Black and Decker associates and 60 military and defense personnel from places like Pope Air Force Base and Fort Bragg. It will betaughtthrough live video and mail video, enabling 14 graduate professors to teach the courses from ECU through satellite linkage with the Black and Decker factories involved and to send pa- perwork and exams through E mail convergence and Internet access. The program, written by Dr. Barry DuVall, a professor and the coordinator of partnerships, will enable ECU to bring other partner- ships into existence. Examples of companies who have developed industrial partnerships with ECU are Glaxo, Burroughs Wellcome and many other North Carolina manufacturing firms. Federal grants in the sum of $472 millionare marked for projects that link America's defense and commercial sectors. As quoted by President Clinton, this program "will help ensure that we have the best de- fense in the world, while creating new job opportunities for Ameri- can workers.

Student fees get that much bigger How many of you discovered that you were tagged this week when registering for classes? Exactly how annoyed were you as you were sent off to take care of the fine? And how many muffled, nasty comments sprung from your mouth during the whole ordeal? Quite a few, we're willingly to bet. To "be tagged" is obviously a term that before the Industrial Revolution, or more spe- cifically, the computer age, was never uttered. Who needed it? It reeks of impersonal connota- tions. It's so nasty, its right up there with using a social security number for identification pur- poses. And grumbling under one's breath seems an ever-increasing phenomenon on and around campus. Hey, it is registration time, folks. But on a whole different level of nastiness, ECU decided to include a fee increase on tuition bills without notification, one semester ex post facto (that's "after the fact to all non-Latin speaking individuals). During the week of Nov. 22, tuition bills for spring semester will be sent out. Contained within the bills will be a sweet little surprise � namely, a student fee increase � initiated primarily for the purpose of health services fees. An $8 increase goes to health ser- vices and $1 goes toward "other" � that vague catagory, otherwise known as miscellaneous. This comes in the wake of the implementa- tion of a medication fee for over-the-counter drugs. A fee increase that provides us all with the glorious ability to waltz into Student Health, hand over a buck and exclaim, "Give me some ramamine Wow � life as an ECU student really is keen If you are indeed a full-time student, on your bill will be not only the spring semester increase of $9, but a retro-billing of $9 for the current fall semester. Nice work, everyone. Well, that is if the Cashier's Office hasn't already collected the fee from you during an undoubt- edly joyful trip to see them. They just wanted to be helpful. The sad thing is they probably consid- ered it a huge favor to all of us. So instead of sending out new bills at the beginning of the fall semester, the Cashier's Office decided to include the fees together on the spring bill, since it wasn't cost-efficient to mail out 18,000 new bills. Well, maybe it isn't cost efficient to pay $18 extra � did anyone ever consider that? And the clincher, ladies and gentlemen, is that December graduates will be billed sepa- rately "Happy graduation, everyone and thank you for shopping ECU Nothing like a nice $9 slap in the face and "thank you for playing (Their giving just never ends) So just in time for the holidays is a warm little present from your friends at the Cashier's Office.

People. Can't have people without it. But that's procreation, a fact of life, and therefore, not a valid argument. We're not talking about the continuation of the human race. We're talking sex. You'll see it in magazines at convenience stores under opaque plastic wrap, so no one gets a freebie. It's on countless advertisement displays; men and women strategically thrusting (Cool, huh-huh, he said "thrust) their various body parts at you in an attempt to convey a oneness with sex of our neigh- boring college dormitories. The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill has been under heavy pressure as of late con- mmmm cerning the col- lege dorms and their policy that all non-residents in the build- ings must leave at a set time in the evening. I'm sure you understand the premise, ECU follows a simi- lar guideline. Now, UNC stu- dents are protesting the time limitation and pushing for a 24- hour curfew-free dorm life. If such a revision was allowed, guests, including those of the opposite sex (oooooo!) would have unlimited access to what would essentially become on- campus apartments. Naturally, parents and sev- eral schoolgovernment offi- cials are aghast at such a sug- gestion, citing unprohibited sex and otner riotous, immoral ac- tivities that, by removing the curfew, the UNC would appar- ently allow or uphold. The students' argument is that unlimited guest entry is the only adult thing to do, and ev- eryone should be ashamed of themselves to think that sex is the only drive behind the cur- few ban. It would also allow stu- dents to meet for chatting, studying, watching movies and, here's my favorite, card play- ing. Yeah, right. And, of course, the the oldest trick in the book for these seemingly oppressed victims in this dictatorial envi- ronment is the cry of violation of the First Amendment. As in many cases, I think the parents may be relying on the college to be a surrogate par- ent here, teaching the students right and wrong and keeping their noses clean. But that's not the function of a university. If parents are hoping curfews in the dorms are going to be the key factor in stomping out pre- marital sex, I have some news for them. Like in Jurassic Park, nature finds a way. And believe me, your kids are going to find a way, with or without that cur- few. Nevertheless, I'm siding with the parents on this one. I know colleges nationwide have adopted this dorm freedom, in- cluding many state and private schools in North Carolina. But, allowing 24-hour curfew-free dorms to exist is like allowing kindergartners free access to Willy Wonka's chocolate fac- tory. I certainly don't see huge protests or massive student whinings over school libraries or any of the other school build- ings that close down for the night. The dormitories are school property, and if curfews are a factor in their operation, so be it. A limitation such as this does no harm, and may even prevent unwanted surprises(I'll let your imaginations do the rest on that one). If the residents can't con- trol their hormones enough through the duration of their stay, then either move out, go to a friend's house or re-think your hormones. NOW TO TEST THE ECU "SWINDLE LA&'S"LATEST INVENTION-Tirt� MACHINE �o THAT W� CAN KEP CHEATING nEuj f��5 At8"A .STUDENTS 0JEj(L Mb WGtj fa a o A A �4 rt rCEMflE "13 By John Adams Unsuspecting students hassled by loans This weekend I received three letters. One was my bank statement. The other two were concerning my student loans. The first letter concerning my student loans claimed that I had to begin paying for the interest on one of them. The other letter was from a loan collecting agency and claimed that I was late on one of my loan payments. 1 suppose any day now some guy named Rocko will show up at my door and threaten to break my legs if I do not pay up. My first reaction to these let- ters waspanic. Ihavealwaysguarded my credit very carefully. My second was anger. I checked my loan docu- ments and found that I had (as I suspected) been granted deferment of the interest on the first loan, and deferment until graduation on the second loan. ThisisnotthefirsttimeCHhas done me wrong, and for some rea- son I do not think it will be the last. Unfortunately for me, it is too late to turn back the clock on my student loan shenanigans. For you, though, who are just now starring down that misguided path, I have developed a 10-point plan for dealing with the entire student loan process. 1. Be aware that you are deal- ing with a bureaucracy. By defini- tion, a bureaucracy is any labyrin- thine organization which seeks to obtain your total acquiescence through inertia, stupidity, confusion or all of the above. A bureaucracy wants you to quit because it makes their job a lot easier. Never quit, though, becausegoingthrough them is the only way to get your loan. 2 Alwaysbe polite with whom you are dealing. Try to give people the benefit of thedoubtatfixst. If they start to irritate you, however, get their name and then lay into them. This may not actually help you get your loan any faster, but screaming tends to relieve stress. 3.Neverwaitin line. Your time is too important to spend two hours waitinginlineforonequesrion. Walk up to the front of the line and say you have a 2:00 appointment with your loan officer. When the secretary can not find your appointment listed, create a scene. They will squeeze you in just to get you to shut up. 4. Always lie to your loan officer. Well, not so much lie as just nod your head and say "yes" a lot. Act interested in what he is telling you, but do not forget your primary goal is to obtain large sums of money at low interest rates. Do not think of it as lying. You are just being agree- able. 5. Always geta co-signer. Bor- rowing money is a big deal, so you want as little accountability as you can muster. A half-witted uncle usually makes a good co-signer, especially if your parents are not dumb enough to get suckered. 6. Always borrow more than you need per semester. School is very stressful and there is nothing like a spring break trip to the Baha- mas or a new stereo to make you feel better. 7. Borrow asmuchasyoucan while you are in school. In our society, you are nobody unless you are in debt! Never forget this. 8. Never give CFI your present address. These people are relentless. This is the best way I know to slow them down. 9. Defer! Defer! Defer! 10. Default Onesimple word, my friends. Why do you think you pay that $50 insurance fee on every loan? Your credit may be bad for a few years, but you will recover. I hope my 10-point plan will be useful to those of you who are just now contemplating student loans as a means of financing your education. Thatfirstloanis the hard- est step to take, but believe me, once you take it, you are off and running. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: This letter is in response to the Nov. 9th article "Leaders respond to campus concerns Ron Avery, Chief of PublicSafetywasquoted as saying thatstudents engaging in suspicious activity, "especially if you are a youngblack male willbe asked to produce a student ID card. I spoke to Chief Avery about his comment and he explained that he was misquoted and his comments were taken out of context Even if that was the case, the quote still raises an issuethathasbeenplaguingthe African American males on this campus, that being differential treatment. The relationship between Public Safety officers and African American males on this campus is almost nonexistent. Many students complain of harassment, being in the form of excessive stopping, and in some instances, the excessive use of force. The question that I raise is: What is Public Safety doing to try and remedy these problems? Are there any cultural diversity classes being given to the officers? Is theof fice actively recruiting African American officers, and,forthatmatter,otherminorities,includingwomen? But most importantly, are the officers trained in rela- tionship skills, showing respect, treating students as equals? I've always been told, in order to get respect, you must first give some respect. So I challenge you, Teresa Crocker, the new Director of Public Safety, to consider these questions and hopefully come to an answer. If these problems continue to go unattended, matters will continue to worsen, and I am sure that you and I both do not want to see that happen. Demetrius Carter Junior Biology President of A.B.L.E. (Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equality) To the Editor: First of all, I would like to congratulate the entire police force of Public Safety for apprehending the four individuals in connection with the first three armed robberies that occurred on this campus. They showed a tenacity to protect the students that definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. Long hours and late nights were not uncommon in their desire to bring the justice and peace that everyone clamored for. To those out there who claimed that the police were not doing their jobs to the best of their ability, 1 call them to look at how the individuals were caught. Were they caught attacking another person on campus? No. Were they caught committing another crime? No. They were caught by good, old-fashioned police work�the hunting down and catching of criminals. This is proactive law enforcement at its best � stopping the problem before it happens again Another topic that I feel the need to speak on is the multitude of myths and misconceptions about ECU Public Safety. These are not rent-a-cops nor are they security officers. Every person you see in a white uni- form on campus is a sworn police officer of the state of North Carolina. Individuals in blue or gray uniforms are either reserves or guards, respectively. Together, these individuals work towards the same goal: to serve and protect the ECU campus. I think the only way that students can get a real ideaofhowtheECUpoliceworksistoworkrightalong with them. To paraphrase an old native American saying, "don't judge a man until you walk a mile in his moccasins Having worked with them for the past semester, even my own preconceptions have been changed. These are people doing their job. Doing it the best way they know how. They're not here for your convenience. They're here for your protection. Want a safer campus? Get involved. Realize that these officers out there risk their lives daily, just as any other police officer does. Support then in their lawful actions and maybe a positive result will come about.

Exactly how annoyed were you as you were sent off to take care of the fine? And how many muffled, nasty comments sprung from your mouth during the whole ordeal? Quite a few, we're willingly to bet. To "be tagged" is obviously a term that before the Industrial Revolution, or more spe- cifically, the computer age, was never uttered. Who needed it? It reeks of impersonal connota- tions. It's so nasty, its right up there with using a social security number for identification pur- poses. And grumbling under one's breath seems an ever-increasing phenomenon on and around campus. Hey, it is registration time, folks. But on a whole different level of nastiness, ECU decided to include a fee increase on tuition bills without notification, one semester ex post facto (that's "after the fact to all non-Latin speaking individuals). During the week of Nov. 22, tuition bills for spring semester will be sent out. Contained within the bills will be a sweet little surprise � namely, a student fee increase � initiated primarily for the purpose of health services fees. An $8 increase goes to health ser- vices and $1 goes toward "other" � that vague catagory, otherwise known as miscellaneous. This comes in the wake of the implementa- tion of a medication fee for over-the-counter drugs. A fee increase that provides us all with the glorious ability to waltz into Student Health, hand over a buck and exclaim, "Give me some Dramamine Wow � life as an ECU student really is keen If you are indeed a full-time student, on your bill will be not only the spring semester increase of $9, but a retro-billing of $9 for the current fall semester. Nice work, everyone. Well, that is if the Cashier's Office hasn't already collected the fee from you during an undoubt- edly joyful trip to see them. They just wanted to be helpful. The sad thing is they probably consid- ered it a huge favor to all of us. So instead of sending cut new bills at the beginning of the fall semester, the Cashier's Office decided to include the fees together on the spring bill, since it wasn't cost-efficient to mail out 18,000 new bills. Well, maybe it isn't cost efficient to pay $18 extra � did anyone ever consider that?

Phoenix dies of drug overdose By Laura Jackman Staff Writer If you've been listening to WZMB on Monday and Friday mornings lately, then you've prob- ably heard the hysterical "Fly and Mudpie Show The show began in early Octo- berwhentwoafternoonDJswanted tohostthesamemomingslotforits absent DJ. Their answer to the prob- lem was simply to do it together. They called themselves "Fly" and "Mudpie" and the show became a big hit. I dropped by the station on Friday morning to hang out with these guys while they did their show,andIstillhavestomach pains form laughing so hard. The show usually begins at 6 a.m. with a recap of the funnier things that have happened since the last time they were on the air. By the time the show ends at 10 a.m they have made fun of every- thing from Bamey to Rusty the rent-a-cop. AccordingtoMudpie,theirgoal is "to give WZMB a show with fa- miliar music to wake up to and to putalittle tickle in people's bellies The music they play is on the lighter side, and a lot of it is by call- in request. They also give away prizes every couple of hours. Aside from the music and the jokes, these guys also have a few philosophies. They think Bamey is a bad influence on kids and that it's only a matter of time before "he goes insane, becomes an alcoholic and hits someone Regular guests on the show are characters named Average White Girl�their promotions manager; Leroy Pile�a salesman; Puberty Boy and Psycho News Man Both DJs are seniors graduat- ing in May and, like most, have no idea what they're going to do next. Fly is originally from Chicago and has been working at the station for a year and a half. I asked him why he was doing radio, and he said, "a little voice spoke to me and said thatitwantedanoutreachonmom- ing radio�it had to be me Mudpie is from Charlotte, and he has a friend that goes by Moonpie; he thought "it would be cool to change it In the short time that they ha ve been on the air as a duo, Fly and Mudpiehavealreadybeennamed DJs of the month by the executive staff. I asked them who their hero was, and in unison, withouthesita- tion, they said Howard Stern. I had a blast with these guys. They have a moral dilemma, though, that even I couldn't an- swer. Maybe you can: Why in the hell did Julia Roberts marry Lyle Lovett? If you think you know, Fly and Mudpie would love to hear from you. 'My Life emotional masterpiece LOS ANGELES (AP) � The image of River Phoenix as a quiet, clean-cut Hollywood actor shat- tered with autopsy results that re- vealed he died from a potent mix of cocaine and heroinToxicological tests conducted onPhoenix showed extremely high levels of the drugs, thecoroner'sspokesman,ScottCar- rier, said Friday. Phoenix, 23, died outside a Sunset Boulevard night- club on Oct. 31. The tests also found marijuana, the prescription sedative Valium and an over-the-counter cold medi- cation, Carrier said. Though the tests said morphine was found in Phoenix's blood, Car- rierexplained thatheroinshowsup as morphine as it is metabolized by the body. Comedian John Belushi died 11 years ago from the same lethal mix. Unlike Belushi, who died in 1982, Phoenix did not inject heroin and cocaine. "There were no needle marks Carrier said. "How it was intro- duced into his body is unknown at this time The coroner's office ruled the death accidental. The Sheriff's Department said Friday it had closed its investiga- tion into Phoenix's death outside the Viper Room, a trendy West Hollywood music club co-owned by actor Johnny Depp. Viper Room patrons said the actor had been weaving and acting strangely before he went into con- vulsions at the club and was led outside, where he collapsed. Phoenix achieved stardom in films, such as Stand By Me, Running On Empty, for which he received an Oscar nomination, and My Own Private Idatio. By Ike Shibley Staff Writer Sometimes a film that uses obvious manipulation to achieve its ends can rise above those con- trivances to deeply affect an audi- ence. Sometimes a motion picture, while not approaching art, can make a difference in one's life. My Life, a new film, written and directed by Bruce Joel Rubin (the writer and director of Ghost), demonstrates how an overtly ma- nipulative film can still produce intense, emotional effects on its audience if all the film elements are properly combined. The film opens in 1963 in De- troit, Mich where a young boy wishes upon a star for a circus in his backyard. The next day, after he tells all his friends about the circus, he discovers that the circus did not find his backyard. Thirty years later, the boy who wished for a circus talks to a video camera to explain to his unborn son that he is dying of cancer. My Life stars Michael Keaton as Bob Jones, formerly Bob Ivanovich. Bob changes his name when he moves to L.A. to try to forget his family. Bob talks to the camera, but his words, though stating the doctor's prognosis, belie his true condition. Bob exhibits the symptoms of the first stage of dying�denial. Throughout most of the first part of My Life, Bob stays mired in this first stage. Bob works as a public relations professional and, judging from his material possessions, does very well at his job. Bob's life has become superficial, though, and he treats his wife and family the way he would a client. By being reticent, Bob hurts his wife, Gail (Nicole Kidman), because he rarely gets in- volved in her life. Gail asks Bob to come with her to the second ultrasound of their unborn child. As with most of his life, Bob has other commitments that preclude his presence. When cancer strikes in the prime of his life, Bob reacts the way he would to any situation: He stubbornly denies he is sick because he has no time to be sick. Bob refuses to tell his family or anyone he knows. Judging from the company Bob receives when he becomes home bound�no one vis- its�Bob possesses a bevy of ac- quaintances but few, if any, friends. When looked at in summary, My Life seems paper thin, and the plot unfolds in the first 15 minutes: A man, who has not learned to love deeply and who prizes materialism above all else, needs to re-examine his life and change himself before he dies. This summary does not do the film justice, though. Two elements combine to make My Life succeed: Rubin's ability to infuse his heart into his film and Keaton's perfor- mance. Rubin brought the same emo- tional intensity to Ghost that he brings to My Life. Though both films last too long, itis their lengths convince the viewer that Rubin desperately wants to make a state- ment. Bob Jones is given such warmth by Michael Keaton that he deserves to be nominated for anOscar. Tim Burtonhired Keaton toplay Batman becauseofhiseyes, and Keaton's eyes work well in My Life. On the oustside, Keaton seems humorously nonchalant, but behind those eyes lies a world of pain. Keaton anchors the film and outshines Kidman who has a thankless role. Gail simply re- sponds to her husband and, though caring and wonderful, lacks the character development that Bob goes through. As Bob progresses through the stages of dying, he teaches the viewer about living.

Fetchin' Bones is gone now, but Hope plays on with her new outfit, Sugar smack, and their first album is Top Leader. The new band is reminiscent of the old, with the hard and soft melodies clashing just as ener- getically as ever. But Hope's stint with industrial super group Pigface has left its mark on Sugar- smack; Top Leader boasts two full- fledged industrial tracks. Of the two, "Blast with rapid-fire mixes and cuts from one sound to another, is a better listen than the repetitive "Freak The in- dustrial sound worms its way into the openings of several other songs as well. One of these songs, "Bring on the UFOs is a hopeless little ditty about how we've made such amess of the world that wemight as well just chuck the whole thing and wait for the space aliens to come and take us away. This one's a snarler, with Hope grind- ing through the chorus in her typical growly fashion. A nice, By Daniel Willis Staff Writer Greenville has recently inher- ited a well-traveled musiciannamed Tom Quick who moved to Green- ville eight months ago. Quick was the lead singer for the McCoys after Rick Derringer left the band. The McCoys created such hits as "Hang on Sloppy" and "Fever Quick also toured with Chuck Berry for a short stint as his drum- mer, but surprisingly, this isn't a situation Quick wishes to relive. "I. was really surprised Quick said. "He wasn't really anything like I expected. He was real loud and obnoxious. He left me and the en- tire band stranded inCincinnatiand refused to pay us. It wasn't a situa- tion I want to go through again. But at least I can say I played with one of the greats Quick spoke of how he'd seen music change through the years. "Things have changed so much. Back when I first started playing, there were more songwriters. Now it seems like there is just specialized musicians. Also, today, the record- ing procedures are so much more ad vanced. People are able to be slip- pery about things. They can en- hance one word or one note to an extent that it doesn't even resemble a person's natural performance. We all know what happened to Milli Vanilli However, he pointed out many current musicians that he likes, "I like bands like Bad Company and Van Halen, I like the kind of youth- ful energy and enthusiasm that bands like Van Halenbring to the stage. I still feel that I havea lot of youth in me. Right now I'm 35years old and I feel very com- fortable walking around campus hanging around the students. I feel like I belong there Quick said. Quick's most recent record- ing is titled Tightrope, wnich he plans to release in conjunction with his upcoming tour. He said, "Most of my songs are justcheesy love songs, or they deal with the concept of hope. There is so many things in our society thatcan get you down today. It's almost like we're in a depression. Through- out the years, my life has gone through many ups and downs. SeeQUICKpage T Sugarsmack angry counterpart to Porno for Pyros' goofy "Pets Another angry track, though much less explosive, is "Swindle This song has a contemptuous tone, woven through a blues rap melody, and concerns itself with a ruined Earth made by U.S. cor- porate con games. With its sub- dued anger and quiet guitar ar- rangements, "Swindle" sets an eerie mood. A certain dystopian air blows through Top Leader; this is not exactly happy music. In fact, I don't think there's a single up- beat track on the album. Whether it's the murmuring static of "Seven Seas" or the screaming paranoia of "Pissed Off" (a real barn-burner; I'll bet it brings down the house in a live perfor- mance), Sugarsmack paints a dreary picture. Not the kind of stuff I'd recommend for the clini- cally depressed. For the well-balanced among us, however, I support it whole- heartedly. This is good rock-and- roll, people! It's unpretentious but willing to take chances. It follows no real rules but its own, and that's what this rock thing is sup- posed to be about. So give Top Leader a try. You'll never be so happy to be depressed again. � Mark Brett Today: Breaking Up Answered by Jennifer Phillips, Student Health Service Question: What is the best way to in- form someone that you wish to discontinue a relationship? Answer. Communication thatis direct, yet compassionate is the key. In- terestingly, when college students are asked how they would like to be treated when a partner ends a relationship, responses often in- clude: "tell me right away" "be honest" "let me be the first to know" When students are asked how they actually ended their last rela- tionship, acting honestly and di- rectly, as previously proposed wasn't done. Listed below are common examples of mistakes. "I have his best friend tell him "I wrote a letter "I just stopped calling "I purposely made them jealous so they � would break up with me � Suggestions: 1. The best way to end a relationship is in L a fair and courteous manner. 2. When you feel a relation- ship is over, deal with it immedi ately. 3. Say what is on your mind. 4. Don't make promises that you can't keep, such as "trying to work it out 5. Once a relationship ends it is important to put space be- tween you and your ex- partner. Bothparties need adjustment time. 6. Get on with q your life; don't become the care- taker of yeur ex- partner if yon broke it off. In some relation- ship; a new friendship can develop, however ths is not always possible.

Virginia Tech Sports November 16, 1993 UK kicks game-winning field goal By Brad Oldham Staff Writer If there is one good thing head coach Steve Logan can say about this year's season � it is almost over. The Pirates fell 6-3 against the Kentucky Wildcats on Sat- urday in a heartbreaking loss at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Ky in front of the stadium's smallest crowd ever. With just 29 seconds left in the game, Nicky Nickels kicked the 29 yard field goal to give the Wildcats the win. The kick was set up by a Junior Smith fumble on the Pi- rates' last possession the fourth quarter. The Pirates have now lost their fourth game in a row (2-8) in a season that has been plagued by injuries and bad breaks. For the third straight week, ECU was forced to play on a rain-soaked field. "I told my kids to be ready to play in bad weather Logan said. "The conditions were bad, and the field was soaked se- nior right guard Ken Crawford said. "But it has been like that for the last two weeks, so we were used to it. We wanted to go in and run the ball because we knew it would be tough to pass Another spectacular per- formance was displayed by Smith and the ECU offensive line. Smith, coming into the game off a record-breaking 282 yard rushing game against Tulsa, added another 169 yards on 34 carries to his career rush- ing yardage at ECU. Smith needs just two more yards to surpass Carlester Crumpler Srs 1972 single season rush- ing record of 1,309 yards. "We know that Smith is a good runner, and we feel proud to block for him. We don't al- ways get the praise, but having a 1,000-yard rusher behind us the last two seasons makes us feel good Crawford said. Smith wasted no time get- ting the job done against the Wildcats. On the first play of the game, he bounced off of one Kentucky defender and took off down the field for a 63- yard gain. "On that first run, I wanted to make a big play for the of- fense to start things off" Smith said. "I broke a tackle and I was off to the races The Pirates were unable to score inside the red-zone on their next three plays, and were forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal by kicker Chad Holcomb. The Kentucky offense suf- fered a serious loss when start- ing quarterback Pookie Jones left the game because of an ankle injury after being sacked by ECU defensive end Willie Brookins. Jones was replaced by sec- ond-string QB Antonio Phtfo by Miry North D�vl� Junior Smith rushed for 169 yards on Kentucky's muddy field, putting himself just two yards behind Carlester Crumpler Srs single season rushing mark of 1,309, set in 1972. O'Ferral. The Pirates defense gave O'Ferral problems all af- ternoon. Freshman strong safety Daren Hart led the way for the ECU secondary, with 16 total tackles, 15 of those being solo. "This is by far our best de- fensive effort of the season Hart said. "This is the type of team effort we are trying to es- tablish here. We've been strug- gling in the secondary all sea- son, trying to prevent the big offensive plays. I think we ac- complished that this week An interception by senior cornerback Travis Render be- fore the half ended secured ECU'S 3-0 lead going into the locker room. Junior Smith had already racked up 104 yards on 16 carries. UK coach Bill Curry and the Kentucky fans were quickly learning about the talents of Smith and the ECU line. Despite prior third quarter struggles this season, ECU held their own in the third against UK. A fabulous div- ing interception by cornerback Emmanuel McDaniel set the tone for the ECU secondary starting the second half. The Pirates started their first drive of the third quarter from their own 27 yard line. The Pirates drove down to the UK two yard line, where once See KENTUCKY page 10 ND ticket prices blow the roof off Robinson ending career off the bench SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) � They were already telling tall tales about Florida State-Notre Dame, four days before the game was played. Thesubjectofthechattenticket prices. More specifically, prices for tickets bought second-hand. Good seats for Saturday's game between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country had been go- ing for $1,000 or more several weeks before the game. The price droppedabittheweekof the game, but people still were clamoring to buy and sell seats, ticket agents said. A South Bend man who iden- tified himself only as Mike, said a woman wanted to charge him $10,000 for a pair of tickets. Mike passed and was holding out in hope of paying about $200 apiece. "I've heard all the stories said South Bend ticket agent Andy Kostielney. "Some guy said he sold two tickets for $22,000,butlhaven't seen it Kostielney's most expensive seats, twoon the 30-yard line, went for $750 apiece. Most tickets to 59,075-seat Notre Dame Stadium have a face value of $27. Scott Goldberg, owner of All Season Tickets in Los Angeles, said histopsellingpricewas$850apiece for four seatsnear the 25-yard line. But Goldberg said he has heard of tickets goingfor as much as$l,100. The Florida State-Notre Dame game has drawn more attention from ticket agents than other big games primarily because it is be- ing played at Notre Dame, Goldberg said. The stadium is small com- pared to other schools, and the aura is immense, he said. Saturday's game will be only the third time that the nation's top two teams have played at 64-year-old Notre Dame Stadium since The Associated Press poll began in 1936. No. 2 Notre Dame lost to Purdue in 1968, and No. 1 Notre DamebeatlowaPre-Hightin 1943. After naming their price and getting it for weeks, ticket agents have seen a marked reversal in inquiries. People looking to sell far out- numbered those interested in buy- ing, and supply has surpassed de- mand. South Bend distributor John E. Green sold three end zone seats for $600 each, but he was asking only about $300 apiece Monday. By Dave Pond Senior Staff Writer The time has finally come for Pirate fifth-year senior linebacker Reggie Robinson. After walking on duringhis freshman season of 1989, Robinson has received his chance to start for the Pirates, and he has made the most of it in 1993. Robinson was born on Feb. 4, 1971, in Greensboro, N.C to Grant and Thelma Robinson. He grew up in Greensboro and even- tually earned two letters in foot- ball and one in each tennis and baseball atGrimsley High School. As a senior in 1988, Robinson was named his football team's defensive captain and was given the postseason honors of All- Conference and All-County for gathering 189 tackles during the season. "I could have gone to smaller schools on a scholarship, but I didn't feel that's where I should be he said. "ECU always plays such a different type of schedule than other schools do, and 1 wanted to help build a defensive tradition in Greenville Redshirted for the 1989 sea- son, Robinson started practicing as a linebacker, learning the ins and outs of the Pirate program. He continued his training at in- side linebacker during the 1990 and 1991 campaigns, and was re- warded with reserve play in 10 games in 1992, in which he col- Buc swimmers win tri-team Reggie Robinson lected three unassisted tackles and earned first his Pirate letter. Before this 1993 season, Robinson was given his first scholarship, and is playing with all the flair and excitement that he had shown potential for in seasons past. "He's a real team player said Pirate Assistant Coach Bob Babich. "For four years Reggie gave us all he had and got virtu- ally no reward, and this season it's all finally working out for him Through the ECU-Kentucky game, Robinson had collected 78 tackles and snatched two inter- ceptions. He had a career-high 17 tackles and a sack against Vir- ginia Tech and also had 16 tack- les against South Carolina. "Reggie's a real smart p1 ayer said Coach Babich. "On every snap he always gives the team 100 percent In the classroom, Robinson is now taking his final 'hours, and will graduate in December with a degree in Political Sci- ence. He will be entering gradu- ate or law school in the spring. "I want to be an accom- plished lawyer Robinson said. "Probably in some type of liti- gation When he is not hitting run- ning backs or law books, Robinson said that he enjoys playing the piano and collect- ing coins and stamps. "With football and upcoming gradua- tion, I don't have time to do a whole lot he said. Looking back at this rather forgettable Pirate season, Robinson said that team mo- rale is still high and that the Pirates still have a job to do upset Cincinnati to end the sea- son on a high. "Theefforthas stayed there all season Robinson said. "We are more united as a team now then we have ever been Both Robinson and Coach Babich are pleased with how he has come along in his career at ECU. "The whole staff and team are happy that everything has worked out well for Reggie Babich said. By Brad Oldham Staff Writer The Pirate swim teamshad their first home meet of the season at MingesAquaticCenteron Saturday. ThePiratesgotthewininthetri-team meet, beating out Georgia Southern and CAA rival Old Dominion. Four varsity records were broken for the team. "We swam extremely well coach Rick Kobe said. "We domi- nated both teams For the men, it was senior Brian Soltz leading the way, with wins in the 100-yard free (4838) and the 50- yard free with a time of 21.92 sec- onds. Fellow senior Carlos Ochoa swam strong as well, with a win in the 200-yard free (14734) and the 200-yard fly(20057).Sophomoredis- tance swimmer Jason "Fezz" Fan- dominated the 500 and 1,000 freestyles, with times of 45139 and 10235. Chris Bembenek won the 200 backstroke in 156.16, and set a record in the 100 back with a time of 52:62. Sophomore David Benson got the win in the 200IM with a time of 15850. The 400medleyrelayteamof Bembenek, Benson, Lance Tate and John Donovan won with a time of 333.42. SophomoreJackieSchmiederled the way for the women with wins in the 1000 distance free, and 200 IM. Freshmen Lesley Hawley broke records in both the 100 back, with a time of 6054, and in the 200 back (2:08.61). Melissa Phillips won the 200 fly (2:1058). Sophomore Beth Humphrey placed first in the 200 free with a winning time of 156.72. Soltz repeated his victories in the 50 and 100 frees against ODU. See SWIM page 10 Holtz polishes dome, too (AP) �Even people who be- lieve LouHoltz tarnished theGolden Dome will now have to concede that he polished it some, too. The ques- tion it begs is whether it's possible any longer, even at Notre Dame, to doone without first doing theother. You don't ha ve to like Holtz, or buy into his shriek: Woe is always him. The constant poor-mouthing is tired, the occasional bullying is jarring and the cloak of piety comes out from the closet sooften it's start- ing to look tattered. There are more things to dislike about Holtz�be- fore ever opening "Under the Tar- nished Dome" � and more than a few people do. But they have to respect his abilities to coach. And to motivate. And to win. Whatever his other sins, Holtz understands the Notre Dame mystique, whatever else it means, means winning football games. "We can't do nothing about mystique coach Bobby Bowden said after his No. 1-ranked Honda State team became its latest victim. "I can see what tradition means to them he added. "Their kids played like they were possessed That was true of Irish teams since the beginning of the century, and never was it more true than on Saturday. In Knute Rockne's day, Irish teams were made up of Irish, a tough enough bunch to begin with. They were often underdogs, often played on the road, often with some- thing to prove and more often than not, they overachieved. Because of an ideal that began men and traces i nearly unbroken lineof success, muchhas changed. Holtz now has thebest of the Irish, as well as Poles, Germans, Italians and African-Americans. Alhough Holtz would have everyone be- lieve otherwise, Notre Dame is rarelythe underdog. Yethisteams, keeping faith, overachieve in the biggest games, too. After Saturday's victory, Holtz didn't say whether waking up the echoes was in his game plan. But some of his innovations echc�dRockne.NotreDame'sfirst touchdown came on a reverse by Adrian Jarrell, a part-time tanker and full-rime punter, makirgonly the third rushing attempt of his four-year career. Two other rush- ing touchdowns came from Jeff See HOLTZ page 10 - "WP1 November 16, 1993 The East Carolinian 9 KENTUCKY Continued from page 8 m the en-yara in Again, the Firate defense stood up and made the big play. After a 49-yard run by UK fullback Damon Hood, Brookins recovered a Hood fumble on first and goal from the ECU four-yard line on the very next play. A failed drive was ended by an 18-yard shank by ECU punter Bill Wilson, which gave the Wildcats the ball on the ECU 40-yard line. The Wildcats drove to the 11-yard line to end the third quarter. It was only the second time this season the Pirates have held an opponent scoreless in the third quarter. Unfortunately, the Pirates lead did not last much longer. A 24-yard field goal by UK kicker, Nickels tied the game, 3-3 with 13 minutes left. After a failed drive by ECU, Wilson booted a 35-yard punt to the UK 27. ECU senior line- backer Reggie Robinson stepped up big for the Pirate defense on the very next play. A pass was deflected off of a UK receiver near the ground and out of nowhere, Robinson hustled to the ground and caught the ball just in time to get the interception. This gave ECU great field position inside UK territory. On fourth down from the Kentucky 29-yard line, Logan reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out a fake field goal play that was used last year against Virginia Tech. The ball was snapped to holder Michael Jacobs, who overthrew an open Jerris McPhail for an incomplete pass. The Kentucky offense took over on downs and drove the ECU five-yard line. The Wild- cats had a chance to take the lead, but a 22-yard field goal attempt by Nickels was no good, giving the ball back to the Pi- rates with a 1:45 left in the game. Then this set up the posses- sion the Pirates would like to forget. The only flaw Smith had all game was when he fumbled the ball away on third and seven on ECU's 27-yard line. This set the game winner for Kentucky. The loss was obviously very frustrating for the Pirates' play- ers and coaches, but no blame can be pinned on Smith. "On that last run, i was try- ing to fight for those extra yards Smith said. "I apologize to all my team- mates for letting them down. It's usually bad to look ahead to the future, but for this game I think you almost have to. I can learn a lot from this game as far as helping me in my growth as a player "This game is very impor- tant to us as a team Logan said.

"These three student-athletes will fill the needs of our squad for the upcoming seasons said Firate coach Eddie Payne. "The area for concern this season is our inside game, and I feel Von and Bernard give usa lot more physical play and bulk that we'll need in the middle. Next season, we'll be losing Lester Lyons and we'll need a player with his athletic ability in our lineup. Othello is a great defender and is quick to the ball.

Continued from page 8 HOLTZ Continued from page 8 Burris, who spends the rest of the game playing safety. Kevin Pendergast, who added a 47-yard fieldgoal�thelongestofhiscareer �and four extra points wasa soccer player un til Holtz yanked himoutof practice one day a few seasons back. But only last week, shortly be- foredeclaringPendergasthiskicker forever, Holtzauditoned thecurrent soccer team to see if anyone kicked off deeper. He does things like that all the time. At any time. Because the motivational ploys atNotre Damechange to fit the tim- bre of the times, it'sno wonder Holtz is having a hard time keeping up with the names that fill the Irish record books. Speeches as good as the "Gipper" are hard to come by, and changing jerseys from blue to green doesn't impress kids like it used to. And asGerry Faust, Holtz's predecessor in South Bend learned, even a saint isn't safe with a 500 record. Holtz coaxes kids from every- where to a small town with bad weatherin the middleof Indiana the same way his predecessors did. He promises them that at some junctu re every season, they will play in the biggest game of their lives. Then he promises a bigger game next week- end. It doesn' t work every weekend. Some say Holtz promises his kids more, and considerably less-noble, inducements. And that he rums a blind eye to how some linemen got so big so fast, and a bad attitude toward playerswhodon'tcomeback from injuries fast enough. But after last weekend's display of coaching �throwing untested players into the fire at the biggest moments, cajoling some and kicking others �ifsclearhekeepsenoughhappy to field a team worthy of history's burden. In this day and age, the won- der may not be that the dome re- flects some of the things that are about college football. But that it reflects so much of the good. 2905 E 5th St Greenville, NC 27858 TfSelSSr.TS ' 758-1444 Plan now for your dive travel and continuing education Florida Springs Thanksgiving and Christmas Under $200 NITROX Course Christmas Break 93 Please check with Dive Center for details Grand Cayman Spring Break 94 Please check with Dive Center for details Let us help you with your Christmas wish list Bembenek, Ochoa and Benson also scored repeat wins in their events.
