Today Tomorrow The East Carolinian Vol. 68 No. 68 Circulation 12,000 Youths caught damaging cars By Maureen Rich Assistant News Editor Thanks to a concerned citi- zen of Greenville, ECU police arrested four individuals Tues- day night responsible for ap- proximately $30,000 worth of vehicle damage, police said yes- terday. The arrests took place within a matter of minutes, after police responded to a call placed at 9:23 p.m Officers recovered an aluminum baseball bat and a claw hammer which ti.e four males, one 16-year-old and three 15-year-olds, used to repeatedly strike 17 vehicles parked in the lots at Fourth and Reade Streets. Two harmed vehicles were parked along Fourth Street near the intersection of Reade Street. Vehicle damage included bro- ken windows, headlights and body damage. "It was just senseless said ECU Lt. Keith Knox. "All they said was they did it 'for the fun of it In recent months ECU po- licearrested four individuals for similar offenses. Twoof the indi- viduals were ECU students, Knox said. Two were arrested for breaking into vehicles, and two were apprehended after vandalizing vehicles. Although the individuals responsible for Tuesday night's destruction are juveniles, the 16- year-old will be prosecuted as an adult, Knox said. Police will present the facts of the crime to a j uvenile court counselor, who will determine the 15-year-olds' punishments. Police plan to seek juve- nile petitions against the three 15-year-olds. "We expect to seek some type of restitution for the victims Knox said. "Insur- ance will cover the damage, but it can't replace the victims' time and loss. Individuals should be held accountable for Lheir ac- tions "We'd like to thank the individual whocalled us Knox said. "Anyone who sees any kind of similar actions � pick up that phone. You never know what that person is up to Greenville Police were no- tified and are conducting an in- vestigation into the incident, as two of the damaged vehicles were parked off-campus.

Photo by Cedric Van Buren Greenville focuses on homeless By Richard Holt Staff Writer The Pitt County Commissioner's office has passed a resolution designating Nov. 21, 1993, as the First An- nual Pitt County Homeless Day. Locally, this affects the Green- ville Community Shelter, a United Way Agency homeless shelter for men, w( men and children. The executive director of the facility, Rommi Drozdov, is an ECU graduate student pur- suing a M. A. in Public Adminis- tration. The creation of the Pitt County Homeless Day has been a long-awaited event. "The sig- nificance of this day is to ac- knowledge the shelter's volun- teers and to enable people to recognize the homeless prob- lem says Drozdov. The homeless problem in Greenville is more serious than what people may immediately realize. "There were 950 unduplicated homeless resi- dents between October '92 and October '93 says Drozdov. The new designated Home- less Day is also designed to draw attention to providers of the shel- ter. "Many area churches pro- vide a great deal of food and volunteers to serve it. In addi- tion, Chico's has provided soup for 60 people for the past five years says Drozdov.

Kennedy and wounded former Texas Goik John Connolly. After three decades and countless books and TV specials, the conspiraa issue threatens to over- shadow both the Kennedy legend and legacy. ByMIKECOCHRAN Associated Press Writer DALLAS (AP)�In death as in life, John Connally could not escape theechoesofgunfire30years ago in Dealey Plaza. As the former Texas gover- nor lay in state in Austin this sum- mer, researchers were demanding bullet fragments from his body. They insisted tests would prove President John F. Kennedy's slay- ing was the result of a conspiracy. "It's an appalling attempt to capitalize on Governor Connally's death to gain publicity for worn- out theories said Julian Read, a Connally confidant. The attempt failed. The frag- ments from the horror of Novem- ber 1963 were buried with Connally. But the theories were not. Indeed, they have never been more pronounced than today, as a generation of Americans born af- ter the assassination reaches adult- hood. It is almost as if the tra uma of Kennedy's death and the memory of his Camelot cannot compete with the clamor about conspiracy. The question these three de- cades later, it seems, is not "Who was JFK?" It is "Who killed JFK?" Photo by Gregory Dickens Kennedy was supposedly shot from the sixth floor window of the book depository (left) in Dallas, Texas. His car was located at about the same area as the car in this photo taken 30 years later. The sky was overcast that Friday morning, but the autumn sun melted away the chill and the cloud cover as Air Force One made the short hop from Fort Worth to Dallas Love Field. It was Nov. 22,1963. At the urging of local politi- cians, Kennedy ordered the reflec- tive glass shield atop the presiden- tial limousine removed. "We can't have you hiding from the people one official com- plained. And, after all, politics had brought the president to Texas, a pivotal and worrisome state in his 1964 re-election plans. Huge, enthusiastic crowds greeted the motorcade. Kennedy, his wife Jackie at his side, smiled and waved from the back seat. Up front, John and Nellie Connally beamed at the Texas welcome. Just before 12:30 p.m the motorcade slipped out of the glass and steel canyons of downtown and zigzagged toward Elm Street and adrab,seven-storybrickbuild- ing. Moments before the limou- sine reached the Texas School Book Depository, Mrs. Connally turned to Kennedy. And in one of the iro- nies of history, she said, "No one can say Dallas doesn't love and respect you, Mr. President "You sure can't he replied. The first shot sounded like a firecracker. The second and third shots were unmistakably gunfire. In 1964, the Warren Commis- sion concluded that three shots were fired on the motorcade, all from the depository building's sixth floor and all by Lee Harvey Oswald. Soon,however, thefirstwave of conspiracy buffs were arguing over how many shots were fired, from where and by whom. The grassy knoll next to the book ware- house would become, as one writer called it, "an elevation on the American landscape as prominent as Mount Rushmore Significantly, no one re- ported seeing a second gunman that day, and virtually everyone reported hearing no more than three shots. Even so, the Warren Report came under attack almost imme- diately, and a zealous district at- torney in New Orleans launched an investigation that eventually resulted in the only criminal trial connected to the bloodshed in Dal- las. Jim Garrison prosecuted businessman Clay Shaw on con- spiracy charges in a trial that in- cluded 34 days of testimony and less than an hour of jury delibera- tions. After the acquittal, Garrison arrested Shaw for perjury, but the courts dismissed the case, brand- ing it outrageous and inexcusable persecution. Thirty years later, surveys show thatmore than eightoutof 10 Americans do not accept the basic conclusion that Oswald, a life- time misfit, was the lone assas- sin. Yet, as so many reject the commission's finding, the Kennedy family itself accepts it. The slain president's brother, Sen. Edward Kennedy, has refused to debate conspiracy theorists or comment on their con- tentions, but he complained re- cently when informed a new book would contain autopsy photo- graphs and enhanced pictures of the shooting from the Zapruder film. "This is the ultimate and most heartbreaking exploitation of President Kennedy he said, "and it deeply saddens me At the heart of most con- spiracy arguments is whether the samebullet�the so-called Magic Bullet � could have passed through Kennedy's upper back and caused the wounds suffered by Connally. The two were struck almost at the same instant. If the same bullet could not have wounded both men, there had to have been a second bullet�and therefore a See JFK page4 Health museum teaches kids ECU students and staff volunteer time By Laura Allard Staff Writer ECU students and staff members have been volunteering their time at the Adventures in Health Children's Museum. The museum was developed in 1987 to teach children and adults about some of the health problems of today, and to pro- mote healthy life-styles. Karen Vail-Smith, one of the founders, says that through the program "our students get experience teaching public school children and we get the op- portunity to involve medical people with education people to better instruct the children The exhibits focus on substance abuse, fitness, stress and relaxation, nutri- tion, dental health, bicycle safety and self- esteem. The museum also houses a resource library for parents. The exhibits are meant to teach by giving visitors hands-on experience. Stu- dents may place organs into a human model, test their strength and cardiovas- cular fitness or study the human body through models and computers. The student volunteers give tours, teach classes, answer questions and repair exhibits. "Many of the volunteers started working at the museum to fulfill require- ments for health classes and stayed on to continue volunteering said Executive Di- rector Sandra Stroehmann. "These volunteers are so inspira- tional Stroehmann said. "They are spend- ing hours out here and they are our man- power. We cannot afford to operate with- out them The museum is funded by state grants, private and corporate donations and spe- cial events. There is no admission charge at the museum, but schools do pay for some private workshops. Adventures in Health is inside the Science and Nature Center at River Park North. The complex also includes a collec- tion of shells from around the world, live frogs, lizards and snakes, as well as several touch and learn displays. Local elementary schools visit in the mornings, and the museum is ope; to the public Tuesday through Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Interested volunteers may contact Di- rector Sandra Stroehmann. M � ECU fraternity rocks away By Brian Olson Staff Writer If you have driven down Fifth Street the last couple of days, you might have noticed some guys rocking away in rock- ing chairs. fhe Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity held a 24-hour rock-a-thon from noon Tuesday until noon Wednesday. Two brothers main- tained a steady pace in rocking chairs on the front porch for the time period. Mem- bers of the fraternity traded places on and off during the course of the long event. "We worked really hard, and I am proud of everybody who participated in the event president Rick Erazo said. This was the first rock-a-thon held by the fraternity and because of its success it may be done again in the future. Donations were collected from individuals and busi- nesses throughout Greenville. It was a suc- cess, and �he fraternity raised a few hun- dred dollars to benefit the Dream Factory Foundation.

A survey of college students' spend- ing habits revealed that about 90 percent of the students polled said it was important for them to have a credit card history in their own name, said Stuart Himmelfarb of Roper College Track in New York. "That means recognizing the importance of not messing it up he said. According to Roper's survey of 4,000 full-time students on 100 college campuses, students are not going on massive shopping spree The survey also said that 56 percent of undergraduate students have a credit card. Rocky is getting a makeover For years he has been the butt of numerous condom and sex toy jokes on campus. He's been hazed by visiting fans. He's been beaten by other Mid-American Conference mascots. Now, Uni- versity of Toledo officials want him to change. In fact, they don't "want him to be "him" anymore. The UT Athletic Logo Committee Is in the process of redesigning UT's mascot, Rocky the Rock et, and it wants the help of the student body. The committee provided the following requirements of the new mascot: The mascot must be gender-free, with no distinguishable male or female features; it must have a friendly or smiling appearance; it must include a design that can be made into a costume of great ease and mobility for the wearer; and it must represent all cultures and ethnic groups equally. College freshmen work soup kitchens Every freshman entering Stonehill College this year is re- quired to donate a day of their time to St. Paul's Soup Kitchen, the .ftabitat for Humanity, a homeless shelter or the Old Colony Hospice. "I don't know of any other college that does anything like -this with its entire incoming freshman class said the Rev. Dan fesing, the founder of the "Into the Streets" program. The two- -year-old program is a mandatory part of freshman orientation, twhich is scheduled for two days. School officials say they created the program to familiarize students with the community of North lEaston and to make them aware of the social problems that exist in the world outside of college.

Geography fraternity welcomes new members By Angie De Rosia Staff Writer Tuesday night, as part of this year's National Geography Week, ECU professor Dr. John Phillips presented "I Spoke To The River a lecture on fluvial geography and the "New Dialogue with Nature Tiiis is the first year the geog- raphy department celebrated Ge- ography Week as a singular de- partment. New members to the Ge- ography Fraternity, Gamma Theta Epsilon, were inducted before the presentation. Vice-President of Gamma Theta Epsilon Jamie Gosweiler and Secretary Tracy Roberts presented the ind uctees with their certificates. New members inducted were: Ri- chard Beachley, Teresa Boyd, Marco Cedillo, Marvin Estes, Jane Mculu, Mary Beth Morde, Rodney Reeves, Susan Sayetta and Phillip Scearce. Each year, an expert in the focus for the year is brought in to give a lecture. This year's topic was water, and the geography depart- ment was fortunate to have their expert, Dr. Phillips, on the staff. Dr. Phillips received his master's in geography at ECU and then went on to Rutgers to work toward his Ph.D. He is currently the executive director of the Pamlico Tar River Foundation. He gave a slide presentation that included research he did while studying wetlandsinArizona. "We learn about our world while speak- ing to it Phillips said. Phillips said the topic of wa- ter should be of great importance to everyone since a majority of this earth is covered by water. "How can we understand this earth we live on without understanding riv- ers?" Phillips said. Prisoner decides to escape again LEXINGTON, N.C. (AP) � A prisoner in the Davidson Countv jail who said he was not interested in running anymore after he es- caped and was caught in Montana must have changed his mind. Taking advantage of a short diversion, Michael Sonner pushed out a first-floor air conditioner, wiggled outside, climbed a razor- wire fence and escaped from the jail Tuesday morning. Two months ago, Sonner fled a work detail while serving a 10- year sentence at the Davidson Cor- rectional Center for breaking and entering. That escape lasted five days. He was captured at a Grey- hound bus station in Montana. After his capture, Sonner was charged with kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, breaking and entering and vehicle theft. Police said Sonner broke into at least two houses, stole vehicles and sexu- ally assaulted a Virginia woman while out. The 25-year-old Virginia native'slatestescapecameatabout 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after guards emptied his cell to search for an illegal radio, Davidson County Sheriff's Major Billy Ray Nail told the News & Record of Greensboro. None of the guards saw the escape until they were lending in- mates back into the cell and no- ticed the hole in the hallway. Sonner had been at the Pied- mont Correctional Center in Salisbury. He came to Lexington Monday morning for a court ap- pearance this week in connection with his September escape.

By presenting all the facts concerning alcohol � bothgood and bad�we at The East Carolinian strive to present the students at ECU with the education necessary to make an adult choice. By treating this issue in the way we have, The East Carolinian recognizes that the students at East Carolina are adults and should be treated as such. By not advocating a certain choice but rather the freedom to make a choice, we hope that the students would act responsibly when they reach that point in their lives. With all the facts before them, the students will hopefully reexamine their thoughts and attitudes about alcohol. If the students are content with their situation, fine. If they feel the need for a change, even better. The East Carolinian's main purpose is to have all who read the campaign ask themselves one simple ques- tion. What place does alcohol have in my life?

As I lean back in this recliner, staring at the pockmarked ceiling in my dingy office, I ask myself that question over and over. I'd gone searching for the truth be- hind my old friend Al and I'd sure gotten it. The problem was, do I want Al to have a place in my life now that I know what I know? Sometimes I wish I'd never taken this case. Looking out my grimy sec- ond-story window, the wind was a-whistling and the dogs were a- howling. Another one of Beersborough's infamous down- pours was in the making. Some- how it didn't mean the same. Something had changed and I still wasn't quite sure what it was. I turned back to my desk and looked at the map the trucker had left. I still didn't understand what had happened with him, but this map seemed to be my best bet to make any sense out of this whole mess 1 was in. Studying the route he had taken, I realized that his trip was real close to mine. Maybe too close. What did I really know about Al, anyway? Had going back to the Brewery really done any good? Was I any closer to finding Al than when I started? Not since my days back on the force had there been so many questions running through my mind like a freight train heading into the night, spear- ing the darkness with its lone headlamp. I leaned back in my chair, causing the chair to creak a warn- ing once again, and thought about what I had found out. There was a lot more to Al than what I had thought. And some of it wasn't very good. He's old, for one. Older than he looks. The guy's been around even longer than Beerstein, which is saying a lot. He gets around, too. Every- one seemed to know him, or at least have heard of him. Even col- lege students knew him better than I thought I did. Makes you won- The Brewery.

Basically, a place where a man can forget his troubles and drown his sorroivsfor a while. Mick Hammered had sivorn never to set foot in the Brewery again. Setting out to find his old friend Al Cohol, Mick finds himself up to his neck in the seedy and fermented world of the Brewery. Every Thursday in The East Carolinian, Mick will meet a diameter who will expose Alma ivhole new light. When it's finally over and done with, Mick�and the reader�will be faced with one of the most important questions either has ever faced. What place does Al Cohol have in my life? &. The Case of the Ten Beers "Gritty, realistic. Hammered is the ultimate in tough, comparable to Spillane's Hammer and Hammett's Spade Joel Keggsy, The Beersborough Gazette CAROLINIAN der, Mick, are you as good as you think you are? 1 thought about all of the people Al had affected so strongly. Coorstis, who w swell on his way to drinking himself into an early grave. The Director, who never met Al but had to deal with his effects whether he liked it or not. Perhaps the big0est character that stood out in my mind was the kid. Johnny "Red" Cohol. Think about it. A kid who finds out his father is a major mover-and-shaker in the Brew- ery. Not the best place in the world, by any means, and cer- tainly not a place where you'd want to grow up. Did the kid have a choice? No. Fate threw him into Al's hands and then into mine. Sometimes I really wish he had never stepped through my door. I stare out my window again, watching the rain stream down like a cool drink down a parched throat. Could I tell the kid any- thing useful when he came in? I don't know. That's what really got me. I hated leaving a case half-finished, even though I knew I'd tracked down every single lead I could. I hadn't found Al and that fact sat inside me as well as a three-day old sandwich would. Not very well, if you know what I mean. I tilted back my chair and pushed my fedora over my eyes. I could hear the creaks and groans of the building as it shifted in the high wind. It reminded me too much of my own age so I tried to focus on something else. But mv thoughts kept coming back to Al. Do I really know Al Cohol? Before this case, I would have laughed at that question as I was pushing the guy who asked it out the door. But now, I'm not too sure. See, there's one question that keeps coming back to me, over and over like a record whose needle hit a scratch in it. Maybe you can help me with it. I'll try anything right about now.

In addition, the City i .t Dallas opened its long-secret hies on the assassination at the behest of j city councilman. In both cases, the stacks of material contained intriguing gems of trivia, but no bombshells. But it's not just in the airless warren of government files that the fascination with the events of Nov. 22,1963, continues. The 1990 feature film JFK, which ingrained the Zapruder im- ages on a new generation, had a cinematic subplot for everyone � and was nominated for a Best Pic- ture Academy Award. As expected, a new flurry of books and television specials ap- peared for this year's 30th anniver- sary. Among the offerings were the NBC movie Fatal Deception, Marina Oswald's story, and a PBS "Front- line" project devoted to her hus- band. A favorite tour stop in Dallas now is The Sixth Floor, a museum located, appropriately, in the Texas School Book Expository. The Dallas County Historical Foundation overrode the city's col- lective sense of shame and opened the exhibit in 1989. It was an instant hit, and al- ready has attracted more than 1.5 million visitors � many drawn to the eerie sniper's nest in the sixth floor's southeast corner. And the JFK Assassination Information Center remains open in Dallas as a commercial, con- spiracy-flavored repository of in- formation and services. Two years ago, the center co- sponsored anassassinationsympo- sium. With evangelistic fervor, speakers and panelists swapped conspiracy theories and cursed the government, the media and the Warren Commission. It was such fun that it has become an annual affair. Himdredsofconspiracybuffs and JFK researchers areback in town this week for the third such meet- ing, sharing their "individual pieces of the puzzle Privately distressed over the invasive proliferation of theories and disturbed by profiteering, mem- bers of the Kennedy family have remained largely away from the conspiracy spotlight. Instead, they focus on the slain president's confidence, optimism and inspiration, his contributions to the space program, the Peace Corps and civil rights, his courage during the Cuban missile crisis. President Clinton, flanked by Kennedy kin, spoke of the slain president in such words while help- ing dedicate the remodeled JFK Li- brary last month in Boston. "The 21st century can be our century if we approach it with the vigor, the determination, the wis- dom and the sheer confidence and joyoflifethatJohnKennedybrought to America in 1960 Clinton said. The library contains a new section on the assassina tion, but the museum clearly is aimed at memo- rializing Kennedy's life and not the tragic way he died. "Of all he did, my brother would take the highest pride in the legions of young Americans he in- spired and whose lives he touched and changed Edward Kennedy said through an aide. More than anything else, the senator said, President Kennedy gave the nation a revival of spirit: "He brought us a belief that we were equal to any challenge, that the greatest challenge of all was to be faithful to our best ideals � and with courage he led us in a time where one false step could have doomed the world itself Recalling the president's in- augural phrase about the torch be- ing passed, his brother said, "The truth was, he relit the torch for a whole new generation and more - comer of 3rd and Jarvis - Only 2 blocks from ECU campus Introducing Our New Movie Department Bring Home the Movie Magic!

Since arriving at ECU in 1967, he has taken the Pirate track pro- gram from ground level to one capable of producing Olympic competitors. Carson, a 57-year-old Steubenville, Ohio native gradu- ated from West Virginia Univer- sity in 1960, competing as a senior co-captain on the track team. The top sprinter in the VVVU program for three years, Carson returned to his alma mater in 1963 as an assistant coach. A subsequent move to coaching the team at Furman and achieving a masters degree from the University of Florida prepared Carson to take his current job as head coach of Parham signs letter of intent (SID) � Tony Parham, a 6-1 guard from Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, DC, has signed a national letter-of-intent to play men's basketball at ECU, school officials announced Wednes- day. Last season, Parham averaged nine points and four assists per game for coach Carroll Holmes' squad. Against Good Counsel High School of Wheaton, Md Parham scored a season-best 23 points. 'Tony is a very skilled ball han- dler and shooter, who I think will improve by leaps and bounds as he maturesphysically said Piratecoach Eddie Payne. "He is an outstanding young man and will provide excel- lent depth in the backcourt for us Archbishop Carroll finished 27- 7 last season and won the Washing- ton Metro Athletic Conference title. The squad lost to Dunbar in the city championship game by two points. Parham is an honor roll student at ArchbishopCarroll and a member of the school's yearbook and news- paper staff. - Parham gives the Pirates four prospective student-athletes in thus fall's signing period. Earlier, East Carolina inked Bernard Cooper, a 6- 10 center from Windsor, N.C, Von Riley, a 6-8 forward from New Ellenton, S.C and 6-3 guard Othello Meadows from Omaha, Neb. the Pirates. A mere glance at Carson's of- fice proves how successful his ten- ure at ECU has been. It serves almost as a shrine to the tremen- dous success Ca rson has enjoyed. TrophiesadornCarson'sdeskand bookcase, and Ail-American awards and conference champi- onships cover the walls. However, there a re more awardsthatdonot receive "top billing" in Carson's office. Forexample, Carson's 1988 NCAA Div. 1 Coach of the Year award for District 3, or the fact that Carson served as president of the IC4As in 1991, or the coach's tremendous commitment to na- tional track and field athletics. Currently, Carson is working with other college coaches on an in- structional video to help new high-school track coaches prepare for their profession. One of Carson's main goals is to keep promising athletes in track and field for the long term. "The best thing about coach- ing is dealing with these young men Carson said. "We'd like to see a lot of them stay in the sport After serving for so many years, one would wonder if adapt- ing to changing times would be difficult for Carson, but the vet- eran coach said he doesn't find that a problem. "The athletes of the nineties are really no different Carson said. "There are different things you have to face, but really things aren't any different Carson said that East Caro- lina had changed quite a bit in the 26 years he had been there and while he understands how the uni- versity has grown, he sometimes misses the intimacy of days past. "It used to be where every- one was on a first-name basis, now sometimes it's a little diffi- cult Carson said. "But I think everyone in the athletic depart- ment is great, I think form top to bottom we have as good an ath- letic staff as you can get Women's soccer club finishes season By Chip Hudson Staff Writer The ECU women's soccer team took a trip to Boone this past week- end to compete in the SWSA Women's Soccer Tournament at Appalachian State University. This was the second straight year that ECU was invited to compete, and they made an excellent snowing. On Sa turday, each team played the other three teams in their divi- sion. In ECU's first game, they took on the host team and won, 3-0. Midway through the first half, Pirate halfback Jennie Haines took a pass from N landy Gaster in front ofthenetandputitinforal-OIead. At the 21-minute mark in the 25- minute long half, Gaster was fouled in the penalty area and the Pirates were awarded a penalty kick. Rebecca Williams took the kick and placed the shot just inside the right post to give the Pirates a 2-0 lead at the half. In the second half, ECU domi- nated play and, 11 minutes into the second half, scored once again. The Pirates had a free kick from 25 yards out, and Jennie Haines touched the ball to Junior forward Amy War- ren, who drove the shot past a div- ing goalie to make the score 3-0. In the second game on Satur- day, ECU took on UNC-Charlotte and won, 1-0. This game was de- fined by extremely physical play on both sides of the ball. Just 6 minutes into the match, Mandv Gaster dribbled through the UNC- CH defense and lofted a shot over the keeper for the victory and a guaranteed spot in the semi-finals on Sunday. In the third and final match on Sa turday, ECU took on the Univer- sity of Tennessee-Chattanooga, los- ing 3-2. Last year UT-C eliminated the Pirates from the tournament by keeping ECU out of the semi-finals. This year, UT-C had to beat EastCarolina to make it to the semi's themselves. Without a doubt, this was the most competitive game of the day. Chattanooga scored the first goal, 12 minutes into the first half, but Heather Seanor scored off of an assist by Gaster to tie the game at one just 10 minutes later. In the second half, UT-C took a 2-1 lead as darkness began to fall. Kellie Troy put the rebound in and Amy Warren shotnine minutes into the half to knot the game in a 2-2 tie. Five minutes later, a UT-C forward broke free and put the Pirates in a 3- 2 hole. By now, the players were barely able to see, hindering the See SOCCER page 15 Page 13 Football season ending in Ohio ByBrian Olson Assistant Sports Editor This Saturday will be the lasthurrah, thank goodness. The sooner the final seconds tick off the clock the better. The Pirates can close the books on this frus- trating season and prepare for the bright future. ThePirates(2-8)willbeplay- ing their last game against the improved Cincinnati Bearcats. Normally, at this time of year, at Cincinnati, the campus is put- ting football in the past and gear- ing up for basketball, which by the way, is just around the cor- ner. Cincinnati is mostly known for their success in basketball, but this year, for a change, it is the football team making all the headlines. The Pirates have never lost to the Bearcats in a seven-game series, but this year could be the breakthrough. The Cats are 4-0 at home this season. "They're a real surprise team thathas an outside shotata bowl game Logan said. "Cincinnati is playing good, error-free foot- ball right now Cincinnati (7-3) has already clinched at least a tie for Inde- pendent Football Alliance. ECU is also part of the alliance and the other teams are Tulsa, Southern Miss and Memphis State. This game will pit two great runningbacksagainsteach other �Cincinnati's David Small and ECU's Junior Smith. Small gained 203 yards last week against Houston and col- lected four touchdowns. He has run for over 100 yards in four straight games and has 14 total TDs on the season. Last season he ran for 104 yards on 26 carries last year against the Pirates in Ficklen Stadium. This year he will be running into the heart of the improved ECU defense. Smith will reach an ECU milestone this Saturday. He needs just four yards to break the all-time ECU single-season rushing record. He has 1,306 yards on the season and is look- ing to break the record held by Carlester Crumpler, Sr. Smith has been one of the few high- lights during this tarnished sea- son. A main element to the Bearcats' success this season is turnovers. The Cats are fifth in fewest in the category with just 11. Cincinnati also has put to- gether a good defense. The team ranks 16th in total defensive yardsallowedpercontest(300). Nose guard Bob Duckens an- chors the defensive line with 48 tackles. Butkus Award candi- date Nate Dingle has 63 tackles and the Buc offense must be aware of him at all times. The secondary is led by standout Jocely Borgella and is tied for the school's career ESTTs. The Buc offense has struggled with the pass all season and will con- centrate on handing the ball to Smith. The Bearcats offense has put up big numbers on the scoreboard thisseason. They are averaging 33 points in games they won. Quarterback Lance Harp orchestrates the offense. He is 126 of 268 for 1,441 yards and eight touchdowns. His fa- vorite hook-up will be wideout AlbertSweet. He has 27 catches for 451 yards. The strength his the running game led by Small. Last week, the Bucs held a powerful runninggameof Ken- tucky in check. The Pirates did end up losing 6-3 in the mud at Lexington, though. The Buc defense has kept the future bright and has kept ECU in almost all games this year. Since this will be the last game, it will be time to say good- bye to some seniors: Carlester Crumpler, Jeff Cooke, Bernard Carter, Greg Floyd, Morris Letcher, Reggie Robinson, Derek Taylor and Ronnie Will- iams. Cincinnati Linebacker Nate Dingle is a Butkus Award candidate. He and the Bearcats have high hopes for a post-season bowl.

CHARLOTTE (AP) � The NFLstadium fortheCarolina Pan- thers will be owned by a private trust rather than team owner Jerry Richardson as a result of a late- stage maneuver to clinch Charlotte's hopes of landing an expansion team. The change was made shortly before NFL owners voted unani- mously on Oct. 26 to award Char- lotte the league's 29th team, said Mark Richardson, who managed the NFL drive. It won't affect fans, he said. Butitapparentlyaffected NFL owners, many of whom had lin- gering concerns about the debt Richardson and his business part- ners would incur in attempting to pay $140 million for the expan- sion team and build a $160 million stadium at the same time. The solution, developing in consultation with attorneys and financial advisers, was to place ownership of the Carolinas Sta- dium Corp. in the hands of a pri- vate trust. Carolinas Stadium Corp. is the company Richardson and his partners formed to own and operate the stadium. The trust, created for this pur- pose, will own all stadium stock and receive a portion of i ts annual profit, to be donated to charity. While Richardson Sports won't own the stadium, it would have an operating agreement to manage it. "The only thing that has changed is another entity will own the bricks and the mortar of the stadium, but we will still have control, and we will still make the operating decisions Mark Richardson said. To NFL owners, the critical effect of the ownership change was that it reduces the amount of debt Richardson and his partners in- curred, plus shields them from the financial risk of owning a sta- dium.

Over the By ROBERT last several TODD years, the tal- r-D1TOR ent-levelofthe CAA's players has risen. The aver- age heights and weights of the plavers has risen, too. Lefty Driesell, who coached Maryland until the death of Len Bias, and the addition of George Mason University's Paul Westhead will help bring legitimacy to a youthful core of talent CAA coaches. Driesell has taken his James Madison Dukes to a first-place, or share of first place, finish four years in a row. However, JMU lost an All- CAA backcourt, 61 percent of their points, 67 percent of their rebounds, 68 percent of their assists and 59 percent of their minutes played. The addition of JUCO standout Dennis Leonard will help ease the losses in the backcourt, but not enough to claim first place from a powerful Old Dominion team. The Monarchs head coach, Oliver Purnell, lost Mario Mullen, one of the better players in the con- ference, until at least December. Mullen hurt his back in a car acci- dent in the preseason. ODU's front line, even with- out Mullen, is the best in the con- ference and should cause problems for ECU. Center Odell Hodge is the CAA's leading returner in field goal percentage, rebounds and blocked shots. However, their backcourt and perimeter shooting are not spec- tacular. Forward Petey Sessoms is the only serious three-point threat for the Monarchs. Last season ODU led the con- ference in scoring with 84 points per game. That should be good for second place this year, after Westhead installs his fast-break of- fense at GMU. The Patriot record for points in a game is 126. That should fall in the first game of the year. Westhead's Loyola Marymount teams averaged in the neighbor- hood of 120 points per game, an NCAA record 181 points in a single game and an NCAA tournament record with a 149-115 victory over Michigan in 1990. Freshman guard Curtis McCants averaged 32 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and five steals per game as a senior. His abilities should be accentuated in Westhead's high-tempo game. His career highs are 51 points, 14 re- bounds and 19 assists and was named last year's Gatorade High School Player of the Year in Rhode Island. He may take over the start- ing role from Donald Ross before the season begins. Photo courtesy of SID Kareem Richardson played well enough to earn All-CAA Rookie Team honors last year. The Seahawks of UNC- Wilmington have gone from 11-7, coach Kevin Eastman's first sea- son, to 17-11 last year. The birds lost three starters, but Virginia transfer Corey Stewart and Duquesne transfer Canon Baker should help fill the void. Sopho- more center Derren Moore, 6-foot- 4, 245 pounds, will only be chal- lenged in the middle by ODU's Hodge as the conference's best cen- ter. Guard Drew Phillips' shoot � 40 percent from behind the arc � should keep things open for Moore and forward Sherif El-Sanadily, who is one of the better shot blockers in the conference. The University of Richmond has gained national prominence as a team to avoid in the NCAA tour- nament. There most recent upset was in 1991 when they became the first 15th seed to defeat a second seed, as the dropped the Syracuse Orangemen, 73-69. Then-coach Dick Tarrent, has retired and former UR player Bill Dooley has taken the helm. The Spider backcourt is formi- dable. Both Eugene Burroughs and Gerald Jarmon shot better than 41 percent from the three-point line. OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY Location: Norfolk, Va.

Wall played at Northern Durham high school and attended the Naval Academy, earning All- Patriot League Rookie Team hon- ors. Last season, he played at Chowan and was named the team 's defensive plaver of the year. American University will join William & Mary in the cellar. AU lost 1992-3 CAA Player of the Year Brian Gilgeous and second team All-CAA forward Craig Sedmak. Christian Ast, who transferred from Duke, has not played signifi- cant time in two years and the rest of the team does not offer much of a threat to the rest of the league. Forward Tim Fudd will play a prominent role for the Eagles He is the third leading rebounder return- ing to the CAA. Guard Michael Blackmon can shoot the trey, but the Eagles will fall from the sky this season. The Tribe return guard Kurt Small, the second leading return- ing scorer in the CAA. After Small the rest of the team has seen little action. William & Mary should be planning for next year.

Oliver Purnell, the I By ROBERT Monarch's I TODD head coach, I Editor seems to be the I only one who disagrees. "If I had to pick any team to- day, I'd pick Eddie he said, referring to ECU head coach Eddie Payne. "Like Payne said, their kids have learned how to win Purnell may have just been try- ing to rid himself of the weighty expectations placed on him. "I kinda felt like Oliver was sayin' 'Anybody but me You know, he's like, 'Now I got this monkey off my back You know, it's flattering. I might have to ask him if he really meant it Oliver? "I meant it when I said I would put Eddie's team down as number one. I think they are very talented, along with James Madison and UNC-W. I'm writing ECU down as number one After last season's number seven-seeded Pirate team shocked number two-seeded ODU, 73-67, in the first round of CAA tourna- ment, ECU went on to claim the championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament � ECU'S first since 1972. "The reality was that we were a championship team last year Payne said. "But the reality also was that we didn't have a winning record. Our players have no rea- son to be cocky Lester Lyon's, the preseason favorite to win CAA Player of the Year, stepped into a leadership role. Before the season, he called a team meeting on his own accord. Should a few more players elevate their games as Lyons seems to have, the Bucs should fare well. Anton Gill, at 6 feet 8-inches, averages a three-point attempt per game and will move from the for- ward position to the vacant center See PREVIEW page 18 November 18, 1993 Page 2 courtesy SID Lester Lyons led the Pirates to their first NCAA appearance since 1972. Westhead running the show at GMU The Wright brothers and their flying machine were often laughed at. And some people never thought the automobile would replace the horse. But By Robert Todd Editor these innova- tions changed the world's way of getting from one place to another. Paul Westhead, the new head coach at George Mason University, has been the innovator of a method to get from one basket to another faster than anybody. He has had much success: A world championship as head coach of the 1980 Los Angeles Lakers and a 61.8 percent winning percentage at the collegiate level with only three losing seasons � two at LaSalle in Philadelphia and one at Loyala Marymount. When he took over at Loyola Marymount, like GMU, they were in last place. He immediately turned the national spotlight on his team and their style of play. Then he recruited Philly products Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble and, at the end of his third year, Westhead's team had a 28- 4 record and went the first of three-straight NCAA postseason appearances. But, for some reason, he still hears chuckles and must deals with skeptics of his system. "One of the goals in sport � football, baseball, basketball � you're in the contest to have the Paul Westhead Westhead said. "Fast, slow, what- ever you decide your pace is. So, if you know you can control pace, you have an advantage. "That doesn't mean you win, but you're sure playing the game the way your play- ers are accustomed to do- ing in practice. So, I have kinda of found a scheme where the pace is always mine Ah, the pace. Westhead likes for his team to average 100 shots per game. Last season the Patriots averaged 59. He said his goal is simple: "Score 100 points in every game and hope that the op- position doesn't score more than a game being played at your pace hundred in some of the games. "This is not a 'win-loss' goal sea- son. This is an 'establish a style of play' and establish excitement for the game and get your players happy to go on the road and look at the opposition and say 'hey, you'reprob- ably about 25 points better than us, but I tell ya, at the end of the game you're going to be tired So, if we can get that going we'll be in good shape and win a few games along the way Westhead's system employs numbered fast-breaks. Each player is assigned a position on the floor and after a change of possession, every player is supposed to run to his of- fense spot as fast as he can, regard- less of where he is at the exchange of the ball. Obviously, this requires his See WESTHEAD page 18 1993 PIRATE ROSTER 1992 PER GAME STATISTICS So.SamePosClass 33Kevin ArmstrongFSr 5Tim BashamFFr 14JerodCobeaGFr 4Don DouglasCFr-RS 32Anton GillFC Jr 22Viben HunterFSr 24Chuck JonesF GFr 15Lester LyonsSr 3Louis MooreFFr 21Kareem RichardsonGSo 25Chuckk RobinsonFJr-T 13Skipp SchaefbauerGFr 23Qirtey YoungGSr Averages 2.3 vrs Ht Wt Hometown, HSJUCO 6-6 213 Gastonia, N.C Hunter Huss 6-6 215 Roanoke, Va St. Johns Prospect Hall 6-2 170 Coral Springs, Ra Douglas 6-11 232 Falls Church, Va Bishop O'Connell 6-8 207 Rakigh,N.C,MiHbrook 6-5 200 Raleigh.

Some novel rule changes will be in ef- By Brian Olson Assistant Editor feet for '93- 94. These rules will make the game quicker and more explo- sive. The first rule that will be switched concerns the shot clock. Instead of having 45 seconds to shoot the ball, a team will only be allowed 35. Ten seconds may not seem to make a difference, but it will af- fect the tempo more than fans think. Some coaches were not pleased with the manner in which the rule change was made. "My fear is that it is going to be an uglier game than it has been in the past ECU head coach Eddie Payne said. "There is not going to be the flow to it that there used to be, but really nobody knows be- cause the rules committee didn't seem fit to experiment with the rule, they just put it in so it is kind of like a conjecture It will force the offense to move more quickly up the floor and get in an offensive set. Teams will have to be more aware of the shot clock and this See CLOCK page 17 The coaches in the CAA can't seem to agree on the consequences of not having the five seconds rule. The rule stated � that a player, I By ROBERT dribbling or I ToDD not, must ei- I editor ther pass the I ball or break an imaginary six-foot plane between he and the defender within five seconds. At different times during the annual CAA me- dia day, coaches had a chance to express their opinions. "The five second deletion, I think, is a terrific idea GMU coach Paul Westhead said. "Anything that can take the decision factor away from the official and put it back in the hands of the player, 1 think, is always a plus "I don't like it ECU coach Eddie Payne said. "As a result of the dele- tion you'll see a lot more ugly shots. I don't like taking that flow out of the game. You'll see a lot more isolating and one-on-one stuff "Maw, how many times did we get that call � how many times did anybody get that JMU coach Left Driesell said. "And usually, if you did, it was a bad call anyway "How hard is it to count five seconds Payne said. "It forces a team to move without the ball. It forces guys to make plays.

ECU'S Skipp Schaefbauer is a throwback to another era � a time when athletes were role models. Schaefbauer (pronounced By ROBERT Sha yf-bower) is TOD D engaged to his EdTQR high school sweetheart, Nina Kopetka, earned a 3.85 GPA at Elk River High School (graduating 15th in a class over 400), doesn't get drunk and is church-go- ing. He is reversing the gambling- alcoholic-drug-abusing-athlete trend set in motion during the mid80s. Even the seemingly-invincible Michael Jordan was singed by ru- mors of gambling and criminal in- volvement. Ushering in the post-Jordan- Larry Bird-Magic Johnson era are media icons like Shaquille O'Neal, Larry Johnson and Chris Webber. But rarely do these nouveau-disgust- ingly-rich entertainers desire the sta- tus of "role-model Like Charles Barkley empha- sized in a Nike spot, "Parents should be role models And he is right. But, the athlete- as-role model persona that has tragi- cally withered away is experiencing a refreshing renaissance on the cam- pus of ECU. "Being an only child, I remem- ber looking up to other athletes in high school Schaefbauer said. "I think athletes can be good role mod- els Schaefbauer said he would defi- nitely like the responsibility of being a role model. "I would hate for him to get la- beled head coach Eddie Payne said. "He is a very directed, motivated athlete and student, too. He really wants to excel and works toward that end and very meticulously so. He'sa focused driven type a guy. But at the same time, he's free and he's fun to be around Schaefbauer said basketball, family and religion are his priorities, although not in that order. "God is a very large part of my life I'd never want to rank my priorities he said. Oh, and Schaefbauer can play basketball, too. This 18-year-old, 6-foot-4, fresh- man guard could compare notes with Shaq on breaking basketball goals. Schaefbauer's dunk was not glass-shattering a la the rapping, Fu- Schnickens fan or Darryl Dawkins (a.k.a. Chocolate Thunder), but it broke a goal just the same. Schaefbauer credits the destruc- tion to a faulty basket in Minges, but this wasn't the first time he brought destruction down on an iron rim. He broke his first goal in the ninth grade in Elk River. Schaefbauer, Mr. Basketball in Minnesota last year, has had to set the record straight about his home town. "When you say Elk River to people down here, they think, like, we canoed to school Schaefbauer said. "Its only abouta half-hour north of Minneapolis so its really a subur- ban area of Minneapolis He chose ECU over Washington State, Wyomingand William & Mary. He also chose playing hoops for the Pirates over plaving wide receiver for Colorado, Wisconsin or Minne- sota and he admits that playing both sports for the Pirates has crossed his mind. His 40-yard-dash time of 4.6 sec- onds places him five one-hundreths See SCHAEFBAUER page 17 NAVIGATOR '9394 November 18. 1993 Page 4 Lyons taking his share of accolades 1 ester Lyons' boyish -mile might be a little deceh ing.

He gives a lot of credit for his success to his mom and he savs she was a big influence on him. Lyon's mother also coached bas- ketball at N.C. A&T. If you have been to some ECU basketball games over the vears, you might think of Lester Lvons as a real outgoing guv because he is so good. Off the court, Lyons goes through a change. "I'm just one of those real quiet off-the-scene guvs. Out here on the court I'm wild and live, but once I get off the basketball court, it's a whole different Lester Lyons Lester said smiling. "I keep to mv- self a lot when I'm not with the guys Lvons is a hard, dedicated worker and he has proven that re- cently. He himself called a team meeting to discuss the plans and future for this coming season. Head Coach Eddie Pavne learned of this and .was very impressed. He said that this was the first time that he had heard of a plaver doing this Photo courtesy of SID Lyons upgraded his defense last year to complement his offense. He has been chosen as the preseason CAA Player of the Year. "Lester works reallv hard Pavne said, "He's a good worker. From the feedback I've gotten he was one of the hardest workers we had in the preseason When Lester is not swapping basketballs through nets, he likes to sit back and enjov some good old music. Hecalls himself a music man. He enjovs all tvpes, but he has his favorites. He enjovs slow jams with Silk and listens to rap- pers MC Lvte and Queen Latifah. He will also get comfortable to the tunes of "The Great" Bob Marlev. "I grew up as an onlv child, and 1 plaved and did everything bv myself Lvons said. "I used to use the radio as a toy and it reallv got me into music Back on the court, Lvons has put up some outstanding statis- tics. He owns the record for career three-point goals made, career and single season steal records. He is second in career assists, third in career blocked shots and free throw percentage. Lvons enjovs hitting the outside jumper and is fourth in career three-point field goal per- centage. Lvons is also a hit with his schoolwork. He took advanced courses all through his time at Bertie and graduated in the top !5 percent of his class He is now majoring in construction manage- ment and hopes to graduate 'his summer. If there is no more bas- ketball after college, he would like to manage or supervise a construc- tion company. "It 1 do the things I am sup- posed to do this year, and have a good strong vear, and we do some- thing team-wise, 1 think I'll have a chance to do something in bas- ketball The road to becoming a senior is a long maturing process. The transition can be very difficult. You are on your own for the first time in life and you have to take on responsibility. "It was real difficult for me Lvons said. "I had a lot of adjusting to do. It was a lifetime experience. I had thoughts about going home ater mv freshman year People do not just ma- ture off the court, but on the court as well. Over the last two seasons Lyons has aver- aged 15.5 points per game and 2.7 assists. Learning to play tougher levels of the game is a challenge. "Personally I think I've matured and plaved more under control, learning the system and knowing what it takes to go out and win a ball game Lvons said, "Early in mv career, I played out of control a lot and didn't know what was going on out there, and now I just calmed down a lot more.

"I think I'll do a lot more leading activelv than vocally" Last vear, the ECU team made it to the NCAA Tournament led by Lyons. In the first-round loss to even- tually champions UNC, Lyons net- ted 27 points and grabbed four re- bounds. No other player would go on to score more points against the Tar Heels in the tournament. "That was a great experience for me and the team Lyons said, "That is what you play for in your four vears. You want to be in the NCAA Tournament playing �� teams like North Carolina and Duke. It was good ex- perience for me and it was the greatest experience for mesince I've plaved basket- ball Lester Lyons is a class act at East Carolina and will go down in history as being one the best in school his- tory. This season could be his finest vet and make sure you look for his new number 15, instead of number 5. Lester likes to switch his num- ber everv season because he says it is just something to do. He wore num- ber 11 during his sophomore season. The number 21 will be worn by theotherguard, Kareem Richardson. These two together will be one of the best back court duos in the CAA.

For East Carolina center Anton Gill, the rime has come to show the CAA conference just what he's made of After a hyper- ex- tended elbow injurv last vear slightly dimin- ished his fabulous All-CAA Freshman season, the 6-foot-S Raleigh native is returning as one of four starters geared up to defend the CAA title. While attending Millbrook High School,Gill was plaving without much of a supporting cast. This leadership role gave Gill the freedom to test his game, which included the opportu- nity to shoot from the outside and run the show at point guard. He averaged 26.5 points his senior season, and was named Cap Five4-A Plaverof the Year. When he was ready to pick a col- lege, Gill liked what he saw here at ECU under then head coach Mike Steele. He chose East Carolina because he felt that the program was one he could fit into. After redshirting his first year to bulk up a bit, Gill had estab- lished himself as a starter by the next season. "It felt good to be named on the CAA All-Freshmen team because 1 got a chance to go from being redshirted one season to being recognized the next Gill said. He started in 2b games for ECU and averaged 11.4 points and 7.1 rebounds a game in the 91-42 sea- son. Last season was one of changes for Gill. Coach Payne and the Pirates looked to him as a solid scorer, and it showed in their record. ECU was 7-1 when he hit 60 percent of his field goals. His points and rebound aver- ages dropped slightly, which de- pended some on his elbow injury suf- fered against Old Dominion. umber 32 made up for it in the CAA tourna- ment, though, helping ECU clinch the title by contributing 14 points against Old Dominion,and lOpointsandseven rebounds in the championship game against James Madison that sent the Pirates to the NCAA tournament to face the UNC Tarheels. "Going to the tournament was big for us said Gill. "It gave the school more exposure and gave the basket- ball program here a lot of attention. It helped us get recognition that ECU is more than just football People got a chance to see us play, which will mean more media coverage. For me person- al it was like a dream. The Tarheels were mv favorite team growing up. It was kind of hard to believe The situation for Gill and the Pi- rates this year is one which has not occurred in some time for ECU basket- ball. Thev are now actually expected to win games. "Things have gotten better here now because of the CAA Champion- ship Gill said, "It seems like we are getting more and more support each year, and we're not going to have a downfall. Last vear, we won the tour- ney but did not have that good of a season. It's good to win the tourna- ment, but we're working harder than in years past to put together a winning season It is true that people are going to have high expectations for Gill and his teammates. As with anv team, fans are going toexpectbiggerand better things even after the most monumental of seasons. With the addition of solid re- cruiting by coach Payne in the off- season, the Pirates are in the drivers seat to repeat as CAA champs. "Everybody is going to have to contribute to make it happen Gill said, "We know we can win the big games, we just need to keep working With the tradition of schools in the CAA such as lames Madison, Old Dominion and UNC-Wilmington ha v- ing basketball talent, the road to suc- cess for the Pirates will not necessarilv be void of challenges. Gill is readv to start the season .with con ti nued weight training that has alreadv added 35 pounds to his framesince first arriving in Greenville. As for his three-point shooting, an aspect of his game that was a bit off last season, Gill regained his confidence to shoot the three over the summer. In his free time, Gill likes to listen tomusicand just hangout with friends. A communications major, he hopes to one day pursue a career in TV produc- tion but is pretty much leaving his options open for now. "We need to get all the fan sup- port wecanGillsaid, "Even if we lose one, keep coming out to the games. It's rare to see teams go undefeated Gill gives props and a shout-out to all of his teammates, because in a season in which the first banner in Minges will be hung, a new stage in ECU basketball is beginning. Young hoping to finish senior season on top of CAA Coming out of high school. East Carolina forward Curlev Young was recruited by colleges all over the na- tion. There was no question he oY DRAD was a hot com- OLDHAM modify. Staff Writer The6-foot- 4 1 2 oung helped lead Deep Creek High School in Chesapeake Va. to the regional tournament all four years he was there. He was plaving in big- time high school tournaments, and was on his way to making a name for himself in college basketball. While playing in one of these tournaments in College Park, Md, Young got a chance to look at the University of larvland as a possible choice for schools. He got an opportunity to meet the plavers, the new coach Bob Wade and to look around the campus. Young liked what he saw. Most im- portantly. Young liked the exposure he knew he could get bv plaving for a major ACC program like UM. With high expectations, Young headed to College Park to plav with the Terra- pins. You could sav that things did not go quite as planned for Young at Ma rvland. After starting the first few games of the season, Young was benched by Coach Wade. This did not go over well at all for him. "I jutdid not have the patience to sit the bench Young said, "Af- ter always playing in high school, I wasn't used to it. I was frustrated because I knew 1 was outplaving the guys in practice that were start- ing Then there was the probation. After an investigation into the school by the NCAA, illegal rule violations such as players being rewarded cars and money, coaches giving players illegal privileges and various other infractions were found. The school was penalized severely. No postseason play for two years and no televised games. After plaving just one season with the Terrapins, N oung. along with other members of the UM team, decided to pack up and move on. After playing in the big-time ACC conference. Young decided that he wanted to transfer to a smaller school where hecould get more plav- ing time. He had a cousin, Andre Fields, who played football here at East Carolina Young liked the fact that ECU was close to home and de- cided to come here and plav for Coach Payne and the Pirates. "It was totally different here compared to Mary- land Young said, "It was so much smaller, which meant more personal attention. At Maryland, it was easv to just become another face in the crowd. I knew that basketball reallv was not that big here when I came, but I figured that after ECU sent a player to the NBA Blue Edwards), times could change According to Young, that time has come. "It's totallv different here now. East Carolina basketball is on another level. There are a lot more expectations put on us now. We need to get a winning season, which hasn't happened in about six years. We're getting a lot more exposure, and more TV time than ever before The reason of course is obvious The Pirates shocked evervone bv upsetting James Madison University to win theCAA Tournament last sea- son. The win gave the Pirates a trip to the NCAA Tournament, to face the Tarheels of UNC. Going to the tour- ney was meaningful for Young, but he was used to it by then. After play- ing the caliber of teams he saw in the ACC, such as Duke, UNC and Geor- gia Tech, Young was prepared to tace the new challenges being thrown at ECU basketball. As for this season. Young hopes the Pirates can win both the regular season and postseason tournament titles, which would automatically send FCL back to the NCAA tourna- ment. He definitely feels thev have the team to do it. "We have seven new players and fou r out of five start- ers back Young said, "Our two prac- tices a dav will help the voung guvs get used to our offense. Thev are verv athletic, which will help them get used to our system faster Young is certainly a player looked up to bv the rookies. "I think Curlev is going to have a big impact this year Skipp Schaefbauer said, "Evervone on the team respects him. He's reallv sup- portive and positive As for after college, Young is currently working as an intern to get his degree in criminal justice. After graduating in the spring, he will look over his options. The idea ot plaving overseas has come to mind, but as of now just getting the degree is most important. Young's interests off the court in- clude listening to music (at full blast), just hanging out with friends and having a good time. With solid leadership such as Young, Lester Lyons and Anton Gill around, plus the addition of the 11th- best recruiting class in the nation, look for the Pirates to repeat the honor of CAA champions. Young will play swingman for both the small forward and in File Photo the Pirates, spending time at the backcourt. WOMEN'S TAKE-OUT SECTION NAVIGATOR '9394 November 18, 1993 Page 6 Lady Pirates boast youngest team After making a run at the Colonial Athletic Association title the past four seasons, Rosie Thompson's Ladv Pi- rates will begin By Dave Pond Senior Writer the 1993-1994 with a whole new outlook. The entire starting lineup from last season's 16-12 Lady Pirates is gone due to gradua- tion. It included Gavnor O'Donnell, last year's national assists leader; Toina Coley, who was second in the country in steals; and All-CAA center Rhonda Smith. Last year's starters accounted for almost 80 percent of Ladv Pirate scor- ing, and those points will be sorely missed this year. The roster, withonlveleven mem- bers, includes nine sophomores and freshmen, and Coach Thompson will have tobuild her team around her only erienced player, sophomore for- .rd Tomekia Blackmon, who missed a last three season games with an CL injury to her left knee, the second ee injury of her basketball career. 1 is expected to be at 100 percent bv season opener at Campbell, lhere are five guards battling for ng time for the Lady Pirates, all to offset the rather significant f O'Donnell and Coley. inielle Charlesworth, a transfer CAA-rival University of Rich- , looks to be the replacement for nell.Shewasnamedtothel991- .AA All-Rookie squad, playing 28 games as a reserve for the :rs. Three returning guards are in the it for playing time as well. Senior jhonda Baker averaged 11.6 min- tes and 2.1 points per game, starting n three. She should receive more play- ing time as her experience level in- creases. Sophomores Angela James and BelindaCaglesaw limited play as fresh- man. James played in 13 games, aver- aging 1.4 ppg and 6.2 mpg. Cagle played in 25 of the Lady Pirates' 28 games, averaging 1 point and 5.8 min- utes per game. True freshman Justine Allpress has followed fellow English guard Gaynor O'Donnell to East Carolina. She will be competing for the shooting niard spot. Last year, Allpress aver- aged 25 ppg, and was named the 1992- 1993 Lichfield and District "Young Sports Personality of the Year At the forward positions, Blackmon and LaTesha Sutton have returned with intentions of starting. They will be pushed hard by freshmen Shay Hayes and Tracy Kelley. Tomekia "Fruky" Blackmon is ECU's top returning scorer, and has the most experience of all returners. She was named to theCAA All-Rookie Team after averaging9.6 ppg and lead- ing the league in field goal percentage (60.6). Although expected to be fully recovered, her recurring knee prob- lems could hinder her performance, as well as the team's. LaTesha Sutton will be asked to step forward this season after plaving in a reserve role last year. She had ECU's second highest season free throw percentage last year (7.65), aver- aging 7.1 minutes per game. The expe- rience that she earned plaving in the CAA tournament will be helpful in her continued development as a player. Freshman Shay Hayes came to ECU from Waldorf, Md where she was the conference scoring leader, av- eraging 19.0 ppg her junior year for McDonough High School, leading her conference. She also grabbed 11.4 re- bounds per game, good for the confer- ence lead as well. A four-sport athlete, Hayes was named All-Conference in the high jump and the triple jump, skills that should come in very handy for this short Lady Pirate squad. Tracey Kelley also came from Maryland, where she was a two-time All-State player, leading the Middletown Knights to the Maryland State title last year. Kelley was Middletown's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, with over 1300 points and 900 rebounds during her high school career. She also received the Maryland Scholar Athlete award in each of her high school years. The center position is the biggest question mark for the Lady Pirates. Senior Janet Rodgerson, one of the tall- est Piratesat 6 feet 2 inches,hasearned three letters at ECU, but has averaged only 1.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game during her career. Last season, Rodgerson averaged 2.4 ppg and just 1.3 rpg. She will be strongly challenged for the starting job by Swedish fresh- man Michaela Wallerstrom WaDerstrom, also 6 feet 2 inches, led the Vasalundskolan Vikings to the fi- nals of the Swedish Championship in 1991 and the semis in 1992, and played File Photo Fruky Blackmon (No. 42) led the CAA in field goal percentage as a freshman. She will lead a team featuring just two seniors. as a reserve for the Sweden National team that participated in the World University Games. With such a young and inexperi- enced program, the Lady Pirates have been picked to finish seventh, in front of only UNC-Wilmington. Defending CAA champion Old Dominion, led by two-time CAA Player of the Year Celeste Hill, should again take it home in 1993-1994. "We are real young said Coach Thompson. "Wehavetocometogether as a unit and try to improve every day Along with the tough CAA sched- ule, playing a strong non-conference schedule will not help to increase Thompson's '9394 winning percent- age. Teams such as Alabama, Ken- tucky and North Carolina are licking their chops waiting for the Dec. 29-31 UCF Holiday Classic, in which the Lady Pirates have entered. The Lady Pirates open their home season Jan. 5 with Duke, and also host perennial powers UNC-Charlotte and N .C State later in the season. This season should be looked at by the fans as a season of rebuilding. Any team losing one starter, such as the Chicago Bulls' loss of Michael Jor- dan, has to adjust and rebuild. The Lady Pirates lost all five starters, so Coach Thompson will be forced to com- pletely rebuild the Lady Pirates and look toward next season for conten- tion. They could surprise a few teams, but it looks like a long season for the ladies of the hardwood. 1993 IADY PIRATE ROSTER1992 PER GAM I:STATISTICS No.NamePo.

Blackmon's mom, Wataonar Blackmon, is still a tough competi- tor and her fire to win rubbed off on Tomekia, who is better known as Fruky (a nickname her "grandaddy" gave to her as a child). Competition against men (and a determined mother) has made Fruky a physical player who wel- comes contact in the post. "When 1 set a pick, 1 want my opponents to feel the wrath of Fruky she said. "I like the way it feels to knock somebody down. When somebody comes down low, I swing sooo hard, and even if I miss, they know I'm after them. I want to intimidate them, so the next time they're thinking about me Fruky's mom is also a dedi- cated fan. Between reprimanding referees, Miss Blackmon finds en- couraging words for Fruky.

While she stands two inches under six feet, she is a force in the post. Last season, as a freshman, she led the CAA in field goal per- centage with 60.6 percent shoot- ing. Fruky also brought down 5.5 rebounds per game in her role off the bench against CAA opponents. CAA seems unkind to young Lady Pirates The Colonial Athletic Associa- tion looks to be as competitive as ever. Almost all teams are contend- ers for the CAA By Dave Pond Senior Writer File Photo Tomekia "Fruky" Blackmon will be the leader of a young Lady Pirate squad. She is coming off her second ACL tear. Head coach Rosie Thompson has praised Fruky for her physical play and says her quick- ness has, surprisingly, improved trerru ndously from last year. Fruky's speed was a concern during the pre- season. In last year's fi- nal regular season game, she tore her anterior cru- ciate ligament for the sec- ond time. Her recovery has given the Lady Pirates a chance to compete through a tough non-con- ference and CAA schedule. Without Frukv, an already Fruky Blackmon small and youthful group of play- ers would be lacking a force on defense. With the loss of 6-foot-2 center Rhonda Smith, the team will also rely on Fruky for points in the paint. Staying healthy is a must for Fruky, a nurs- ing major. Her presence is a ne- cessity for any hope of a successful season. And the support- ing presence of Wataonar Blackmon will likely light the fire that will drive Fruky to excel this season. title, taken by Old Dominion University last season with a 14-0 conference record. American University returns three starters from last year's 15-13 squad, including CAA Rookie of the Year, Gail Wilkins. Wilkins averaged 14.9 ppg as well as leading the league in three-point accuracy. Senior Kirsten Keller joins her, hoping to improve on her 11.5 ppg and 1.9 blocks per game ratio. The Eagles also led the league in field goal defense for the second year in a row. George Mason Uni- versity brings back a strong nucleus, including All-CAA selections Nickie Hilton and Marcell Harrison. The duo com- bined for 28.7 points And 13.9 rebounds per game, leading the Patriots toa 17-10 record. The Patriots led the CAA in rebound margin for the sixth straight season, but will be hurt by the loss of CAA All-Defensive Team member Laura Teter James Madison returns four starters from last year's squad, in- cluding Kara Ratliff, a Second Team All-CAA selection, who averaged 14.1 ppg, good for the Dukes' team lead. She will be joined on the front line by the 1992 CAA Rookie of the Year Krissy Heinbaugh and 1993 All- Rookie Team member Heather Hopkins. In the backcourt, Christina Lee and Gail Shelly hope to continue their success. Susan Yow inherits the coaching Rosie Thompson job of the 4-23 UNC-Wilmington Seahawks. A very young squad, they are led by sophomore Amber Blank, a 1993 CAA All-Rookie Team mem- ber, who averaged 9.1 ppg during her freshman season. UNCW needs to improve de- fensively after finishing 1993 last in scoring and field goal percentage defense. Old Dominion returns nine letterwomen, led by two-time All- CAA Player of the Year Celeste Hill, who averaged a league high 16.1 ppg for the Lady Monarchs last season. She is joined by senior guard Deanna Vander Plas, who had 71 assists and 52 steals in 1993.

It was in her juvenile days where she often found herself just hanging out at the basketball courts. Baker was influenced early on by her aunt and some friends to play basketball. "A lot of people would always com- ment about how good my ball-handling skills and quickness were Baker said. "But my jumpshot drew the most raves from people At Myrtle Beach High School, Baker was a three-time All-State performer for the Seahawks and averaged 19 points a game while also helping her team win the regional championships in back-to-back years, 1989 and 1990. Baker is alsoonly the third player in Myrtle Beach High School history to score over 1,000 points. She also received the Connie Kingsbury Award dur- ing her senior year. This is an award given to the player who is most dedicated to the game. From 1990-92, Baker attended Anderson Junior College in Myrtle Beach. She averaged 11 points a game before trans- ferring to ECU last year. "I really didn't know much about ECU except for their football team at the time. I did want to get away from home, how- ever, and after a few of my friends told me about ECU, I looked into it and decided to come here said Baker, who plans to ma- jor in social work. In her debut year with the Pirates, Baker averaged 12 minutes a game and managed to score a season-high 10 points See BAKER page 12 Photo courtesy SID Baker said she feels women's basketball has much to offer even though they do not dunk.

In addition to her mental game, Rodgerson says working harder in the weight room would have made her game stronger and pre- vented her from settling for sec- ond string. Not one to dwell on past actions, Rodgerson is making the most of her final season and putting forth her strongest effort ever, mentally and physically. Although the official season lias not begun, Rodgerson and the 10 other team members have al- ready begun a regimen that re- quires them to run five days and lift weight three days. This pre- season conditioning is without coach supervision and relies com- pletely on player dedication. Graduating next fall with a de- gree in elementary education will enable Rodgerson to pursue the only career she has ever consid- ered, that of a second grade school teacher. Unlike teaching, however, basketball was not always a con- sideration. "It basketball chose me, 1 didn't choose it Rodgerson said. "Bear Grass is a real small town - everyone knew me Because she was 5-foot-ll in the eight grade, Rodgerson says people often assumed she would play basketball. It was her junior high coach who motivated her to participate in the sport and try out for the team . Aspects that were not key ele- ments of her game in high school have turned into essentials as a collegiate player. Because of her size and the conference she played in high school, Rodgerson says she never acknowledged the impor- tance of physical strength or ag- gressiveness. The turning point of Rodgerson's Pirate career came last year during a holiday tournament against UNC-G. She went into the game after the starting center got into foul trouble. Despite a lack of experience, Rodgerson scored into the double digits and helped ECU clinch a victory. Rodgerson attributes that game as being her most important because it was instrumental in building her confidence. As for physical ability, Rodgerson savs practicing with Tomekia "Fruky" Blackmon has helped her on-court performance. "We plav hard and work each other forward Blackmon said. "She Rodgerson helps my game because she's a big girl While Rodgerson's 6-foot-2- inch frame challenges a 5-foot-ll- inch Blackmon, it is Fruky's dedi- cation that Janet admires. Rodgerson says that although Blackmon was absent from the game due to knee surgery, she has worked hard and almost regained her full potential in a short time. At the conclusion of last sea- son, ECU's women's basketball team lost five starters, including their center. According to head coach Rosie Thompson, the team's starting line up will vary from game to game, based on each player's performance during prac- tice. Thompson says that Janet's hard work during preseason train- ing should pay off and Rodgerson should emerge as a team leader. "I'm expecting big things from Janet Thompson said. "It's her last year and she wants to make a contribution Photo courtesy of SID Rodgerson will be holding down the vacant post position created by the loss of All-CAA center Rhonda Smith.

Under NCAA regula- t i o n s , Charlesworth sat out last season but stil! has three vears of eligibility left for Rosie Thompson's Ladv Pirates. After playing her freshman sea- son for the Richmond Spiders, Charlesworth ha come a little closer to home to plav roundball for the I ady Pi- rates. She plans to step in and wreak havoc on the Bucs' oppo- nents for a long, long time. "Danielle is one of the most dedi- cated ath- letes that I have ever worked with said women's head coach Rosie Thompson. "She's an excel- lent ball handler, and she is great at putting pressure on the ball defen- sively Charlesworth grew up in a very athletic environment. "I've always been involved in sports, whether it was basketball, soccer or tennis she said. Her older sister was a mem- ber of an N.C. State's national cham- pionship cheerleading squad while she was in college. Charlesworth went to Rich- mond out of Millbrook High in Ra- leigh, N.C, lettering four times in basketball as well as in soccer. Dur- ing her senior season, Charlesworth was named captain of both the bas- ketball and soccer team. After her senior vear, in which she captained both squads, Charles- worth was named an All-State hoopster and an A 1 1 - American soccer player. "I wanted to go to college to possibly play both soccer and basketball, and in fact, I was recruited higher ?s a soccer player � Danielle Charlesworth " wanted to go to college to possibly play both soccer and bas- ketballand in fact, I was recruited higher as a soccer plaver than I was for basketball she said. "I went to Richmond to play basketball because 1 thought it would be a good oppor- tunity to step in and play quicklv For the 1991-1992 Spiders, Charlesworth played in all 24 games, earning a spot on the Colonial Ath- letic Association All- Rookie team. She is a exceptional three-point shooter, nail- ing 47.4 percent of at- tempts her freshman year However, Charles- worth was not happy in Richmond. "The entire coaching staff that recruited me went to another school af- ter 1 signed, and I just didn't like it a?, much Chrlesworth said. It was too small of a school for me. Also, ECU was a lot closer to home she said. "We recruited Danielle out of Millbrook and would have loved to have had her play for us then, but we had no scholarship to offer her Thompson said, "With her transfer- ring with three vears left, it seems like it worked out good for everyone involved This year, Charlesworth is be- ing looked upon as a key plaver in the success of the Ladv Pirates. "If the season started today, she Danielle Giarksivorth cause we were left due to gradua- tion without a point guard after last season said Thompson. Thompson went on to stress how much Charlesworth loves the game. "Last year when she couldn't plav in games and was, in essence, a practice plaver, you could look at Danielle and nine out of 10 times she would have a basketball in her hand, trying to improve her game and get ready for this season When asked to give a view on her own strengths and weak- nesses, Charlesworth stated, "My quickness and ball-handling skills offset my height disadvantage, since 1 am onl v 5-foot-3 Thompson agreed, noting that "Danielle's only weakness is her height, and that will only factor into the game when she is matched up against a much taller point guard In the classroom, Charlesworth is a junior majoring in education, and minoring in mathematics. She is also considering a double major in these areas.

Thompson took over the ECU program in 1992 after serving as an assistant coach under Pat Pierson for five vears. As promised by Thompson, IL was competitive and posted its 20th winning season in 24 vears with a 16-12 record. The Pirates were 8-8 against CAA foes. Thompson began her asso- ciation with ECU in 1975, and as they say, the ret is historv. ECU s all-time leading scorer (2,352 points) and rebounder (1,183 re- bounds), Thompson still holds Pirate records for points and re- bounds in a single season. During her career, Thomp- son was the most accurate free throw shooter in school history hitting 74 percent from the line. She also led ECU in scoring, re- bounding and minutes plaved her final three seasons. Thompson's accomplish- ments were recognized statew ide earning NCAIAVV Plaver of the Year honors along with numer- ous other awards. She is the onlv Lady Pirate to have her jersev retired. In 1990, East Carolina in- ducted her into the school's Ath- letics Hall of Fame. A 1979 ECU graduate, Th- ompson received her masters de- gree in 1985. After playing one year of professional basketball with the St. Louis Streaks, she served as Assistant Director of Admissions from 1984 until join- ing the Lady Pirate staff as a full- time assistant in 1987. Words from the coach: Evaluate the CAA race. The toughest yet! ODU will be the team to beat with Celeste Hill returning and a strong recruiting class. Right behind theMonarchs could be Ml, JMU or GMU. The Eagles and the Dukes had great recruiting years and return a lot. If JMU can have a great near last season with less than 10 healthy players, imaginewhat Sheila can do tliis year. GM U retu ms Nickie Hilton and Marcell Harrison, one of the tough- est duos in the league. W&M continues to get stronger and is no longer the cellar dweller of the league. I can't really say about Richmond. They were inconsistent at times last season but I think Tammy will always have her team ready to play. ECU is unpredictable. We lost five seniors, all starters, and don't have any experience to replace them. We're happy with our recruiting class, however, with all freshmen, no one brings in the experience we need. Sophomore Fruky Blackmon is the only returning player with any real playing time. UNCW has a good coach in Sil- van Yew. but it is hard to turn a program around in a near. What is the most interesting thing about your Program? Probably the fact that we are deep in the middle of rural eastern North Carolina, and on our roster ice have five players who come from within a two-hour radius and then we have two international players from Sweden and England. How will this year's team differ from the 1993 squad? Experience! Last year we started five seniors. This year our roster in- cludes two seniors, no juniors, five sophomores and five freshman. 1992-3 TeamSuperlatives Most Points:Most FT Attempted: 92 vs. UNC-Ashville35 vs. UNC-W Fewest Points:Most FT Made: 39 vs. ODU26 vs. Virginia Tech Fewest Points Allowed:Fewest FT Attempted: 56: vs. NC A&T4 vs. UNC-CH Most Points Allowed:Fewest FT Made: 94 vs. N.C.

With the departure or their En- glish assist leader GaynorO'Donnell. head coach Rosie Thompson was forced to scout for a plaver to firm up her backcourt And where on earth could thev find such a plaver1 Why, Jolly Old England, of course. Freshman point guard Justine Allpress is the Lady Pirates' latest English import. This native of Staffordshire could prove to be a vi- able challenger for shooting guard. Allpress led her team at John Taylor High School to four English National Championships in four dif- ferent age groups. She played on an international team based out of Xorthhampton that won tourna- ments in Scotland and Wales. Allpress averaged 25 points a game last season and knows that she could be called at any time to contribute to the Pirate unit. One would think that such pres- sure would lead to a classic case of freshman nerves, but that's not the case for Allpress. She said her inter- national experience would serve her well in college. "I learned a lot of things plaving in England Allpress said. "I've had experience in handling pressure situations and know I can plav well at those rimes Allpress said that the speed- based Pirate team is very attractive to her and will fit nicely with her style of play. "My greatest asset is mv speed she said. "In high school we were very much the same, with a lot of fast breaks and such. The game is verv much the same over there Allpress said she is prepared to face the taller teams in the CAA, and was prepared well by playing against talleropponents in England. Accord- ing to Allpress, her three-point profi- ciency is another strength in her game. "I can hit the threes, that's no problem she said. "The three point line here is probably a foot inside of what it was over there. I think that's going to be an advantage Allpress said that she was a little taken back at the boldness of Ameri- can society and the warmth of North Carolina humidity when she first ar- rived in Greenville, but she is begin- ning to make an adjustment to life in the U.S. "I nearly died when I first got here, it took a little while to get used to swearing as soon as you walk out the door, it's a lot warmer. I couldn't believe when I got here that I'd be walking around at the end of Octo- ber dressed in a pair of shorts. But now I guess I'm used to it. It's differ- ent but I like it. I'm quite happy to be warm, thank vou "The student body as a whole is very different here, back in my coun- try things are much more reserved, and, at first, I wasn't quite used to it. But on the whole, the people here are so friendly. My roommate, who's from Sweden, and I went out to a store and when we walked to the door, the assistant said 'Hi' and asked us how we were doing. We were like 'What, is she talking to us?"Oh we're fine, thank you. We really didn't ex- pect that Allpress said she was also sur- prised at the attention Americans pav to athletics. "We had heard about the NBA in England, but there's a lot more hype here than in England. I mean, in my high school everyone knew I was an athlete but it wasn't as big as it is here. Here, if you're a basketball player, or an athlete, you're supposed to be somebody special. There's a lot more emphasis put on those things here. I'm used to playing on the na- tional level and there being, for the women, maybe 200 people. There is definitely a lot more hvpe here File Photo Gaynor O'Donnell led the nation in assists last season. Like Allpress, O'Donnell is from England.

During his high school career, Richardson was named an honor- able mention All-American, se- lected twice as the Champaign- Urbana News Gazette Player of the Year, and became the school career scoring leader with 1,820 points. Richardson was a star in the classroom as well, earning honor roll status in each of his four years of high school.

ECU's Wilbert Hunter By Brian Olson Assistant Editor has gone through this, worked out the kinks and is now ready to make a big impact on an improving basketball team. Wilbert played his first season at ECU last year after transferring from Chowan College and had a seesaw season. He started the first 13 games for the Pirates last season and then ended up seeing playing time from the bench. "That has to junior college plav- ers.

Hunter broke loose against Tennessee Tech last season and col- lected a personal career high 22 points.

The rebounding jobs will have to more distributed to more players. "Iwanttoexceed my expectations from last year Hunter said, "My transition was a little harder than I thought it was going to be. I finallv started coming around and getting used to the system here There will be some shifting among the starters this veur and Hunter will prob- ably be shifted in and out of the lineup. It looks like he will be splitting time at for- ward with Chuckie Robinson and Curlev Young. "I think if I keep working hard, 1 can get back to that starting spot.

Jones, a t- By Brad Oldham Staff Writer foot-6 forward from Kinston, N.C, is one of manv new faces this vear for head coach Eddie Pavne. Chuck comes from a very suc- cessful Kinston High School program. Coached by veteran coach Paul Jones, and playing with the likes of Jerrv Stackhouse, Jones has had his fair share of previous accomplishments before entering college. He was voted as a Big East4A conference first team member at Kinston, and helped lead his team to the state championship game his senior year. He attended Fork Union Prep school for one vear after high school to help polish his academic and basketball skills. High school coach Paul Jones has optimistic views on Chuck's new home here at ECU. "One of the main reasons we made it to the state finals was be- cause of Chuck Jones said, "He's a great kid, and he's got great athletic ability. He has verv good ball-han- dling ability for a forward. 1 think he can contribute earlv at ECU.

Programs such as UNC-Char- Iotte, Georgia Southern, Virginia Commonwealth and UNC-Greens- boroal! showed interest in recruiting Jones. He decided on East Carolina because it was close to home. His mind was already made up to come here even before the Pirates had their postseason success. The goal for Jones in his first season here is simple. "I want to help take ECU back to the NCAA tourna- ment, but this time for more than one game Jones said. In his free time off the court, Chuckenjoys playing Nintendo with his teammates and watching movies. His major is still undecided. With Coach Payne and his Pi- ra tes bringing in the 11 th-best Spring recruiting class in the nation, Chuck Jones will surely play a role in the Pirates winning their second straight CAA title.

It brings accolades and notoriety and tame. Butwhatifyoucouldn'tgetaway from it1 What if, as nice as you may act, and as easygoing as you mav be, vou were always faced with being that B.M.O.C, regardless of how vou perform athletically? Welcome to constant staring. Welcome to a world where anonym- ity is impossible and expectations of you constantly soar; where you can't walk down the street without hearing the hushed whispers of awestruck onlookers and the thuds of nudging elbows. Welcome to the life of Don Dou- glas. Standing nearly seven feet tall, the Pirate basketball team's redshirt freshman center has grown accus- tomed to such attention. It simply comes with the territory. Being able to hide m a crowd at that height is a difficulty, being able to hide rom them is an impossibility. "Living life at 6-foot-10 is diffi- cult because people look at you differ- ently because no matter where vou go or wha tever you are doing, people are going, 'God, look how tall that guy is' or it's always a constant question of. Oh, do you play basketballHow tall are you? Douglas said It'sa part of my everyday life. 1 don't mind be- cause I understand it's just their curi- osity, but my friends, who are with me when people ask me that, are like 'How can you put up with that?" Douglas said that walking around campus can sometimes be a problem, because some of the university's doorways are molded at a 6-foot-8 height, and there is always a constant battle to try to find shoes and clothes. (Douglas' foot is a size 16). Perhaps most distressing to Dou- glas is the way he is perceived by girls. "1 think that girls in general are really intimidated by my size Dou- glas said. "Because my physical stat- ure is so tall, they think I'm going to be bully-ish Just talking to Douglas for a few minutesdiscountsany contention that he is a bully. He is soft-spoken and congenial and seems to allow no form of intimidation to come into his con- versation. Douglas seems to be a regu- lar gny, albeit a 6-foot-10 regular guy. "I'm a very easy going person Douglas said I love talking to people, Don Douglas sometimes its difficult for me to start a conversation with people because I'm afraid how they will take it. Some- times, when I do initiate conversa- tion, people don't know what to say because they feel intimidated or what- ever. I feel more comfortable when people initiate conversation with me. Then I won't feel awkward talking to them I lowever there was one particu- lar occasion last March where Dou- glas did initiate a conversation, an extremely rareconversation where he couldspeakeye-to-eyewith UNC cen- ter Eric Montross.

"It really made me want to play he said. "More so that game because we made the tournament, but it was really hard to practiceall last vearand know I couldn't play. But sitting there in Winston-Salem and watching him go up and down the court made me want to play all that much more Now that Douglas' redshirt sea- son is over, he will have an opportu- nity to quench that desire. He said he understands that his height will cre- ate expectations in the mindsof Pirate fans, but is realistic about his goals for this season.

One of his biggest thrills was not just plaving with his new teammates, but against now-pro Bobby Hurley when he attended a five star summer basketball camp. Hunter was only a sophomore in high school then and reallv had no idea who Hurley was. When things are not always going so well for Hunter, he can look to his family for support. "What was real special about last season was, you know how bad 1 struggled, they were still there sup- porting me. "Thatshowed me how much they reallv cared about what 1 was doing My familv made me feel real good about everything When this season is over, it will come time for Hunter to decide on his future. He is majoring in communications and hopes to find a career in it after basketball. Hunter would like to go into pro- duction. He is possibly thinking of heading into commercials. "Can't tell what's going to hap- pen after school. I'll have to sit down at the end of the season and think about that Hunter said. For this season, Hunter has to put forth his best to be a quality asset to this heavily talented Pirate team. This is his last season and there is no turning back.

'94 SCHAEFBAUER Continued from page 3 of a second out of the top-10 times on the Pirate football squad, just behind running back Junior Smith. But, Schaefbauer said he chose ECU because of the people, not the football. "The facilities probably weren't as good as Washington State he said. "Once vou get a distance that's too far todrive, its basicallvall the same. And North Carolina is a big basketball area, and that's kinda another reason why 1 chose to come here Tobacco Road certainly has plentv of opportunity for a plaver with Schaefbauer's ability. Last season at Elk River High School, Schaefbauer played the point and had the opportunity to distrib- ute theball. He averaged 23.5 points, five rebounds and eight assists per game. This year, he will see time backing up both shooting guard Lester Lyons and point guard Kareem Richardson and may play some small forward. "1 think Skipp's going to play a lot Pavne said. "You know, he's a very strong, physically mature fresh- man. More so than the average (freshman). Also he plavs a ma- ture, smart game. He can shoot the RICHARDSON basketball and he's got the respect of our players. I expect him to be a very solid contributor of a lot of minutes While not as quick as some other guards he has faced, his size and shooting ability combine to balance things out at either position. With this being Lyons' last sea- son, the duo of Schaefbauer and Richardson mav soon become the best back court in the CAA. And � just maybe � fans in Minges will see Richardson lob the pass that Schaefbauer uses to rip down an- other rim. Continued from page 14 continued his success in the class- room, where he has already made the Dean's List, earning over a 3.0 grade point average. He plans on majoring in communications, aspir- ing to either coach college basket- ball or go into sports broadcasting after school. "Like every college athlete, I also want to go pro after I graduate, as well he said. Richardson is a big Lakers fan and his favorite player is former L.A. point guard Magic Johnson. "The way that Magic saw the court and knew what to do with the ball was unbelievable he said. "I also admire him because of his cour- age This season, Richardson and the rest of the Pirate hoopsters are getting ready for what looks to be another entry into the N'CAAs. The slogan for the Pirates is, "The Pur- suit Begins. Workin' for More in '94 However, the team, accord- ing to Richardson, is very different than that of the CAA champs of last year. "This year we have more shoot- ers, better group rebounding, and a lot more overall talent Richardson said. "It's a lot more relaxing when you have more than one go-to guy and you can go in with the ball instead of kicking it outevery time Individually, Richardson knows that he also has to get better. "It's a new year he said. "Per- sonally, I want to raise all of my stats at least 10 percent and in- crease mv assist to turnover ratio to 3-1 What is in store for the Pirate fans in 1994? "A whole new ball game Richardson said. "Overall, we're a more talented bunch of guys this season. It's going to be a whole dif- ferent atmosphere, very enthusias- tic and exciting to watch CLOCK Continued from page 2 change will probably generate more shots and passes. It might benefit teams that like to run the fastbreak. "There is a difference between taking a shot at 32 with 13 seconds on the clock and taking a shot at 32 with three seconds on the clock Pavne said. "I think that's where you'll see the difference with the type of shot selection The team charted some shot selection in practice and most were taken in the twenties just about ev- ery possession. Payne says that they might have to get it down a little to be on the safe side. Defenses will also have to make their own changes. "Changes with in a possession: soft press, three quarter court press and drop it back into a zone Payne said. "You inbound a ball, you ne- gotiate the soft press and get it across half-court maybe kick it down to the base line and it comes back out and then they get into a zone. So now, all of a sudden, you're looking at you used maybe 12, 13, 14 seconds. " College basketball is trying to see if this will make the game a little more exciting, like the NBA. The professionals use a 24-sec- ond shot clock and that is why pro scores are so much higher than in college. You could probably say that this rule was pressed by television networks because they want to see a more action packed game. "Maybe we'll see some more one-on-one play said ODU head coach Oliver Purnell, "I'm not sure if that is necessarily good for the game, but when you get down to eightsecondsleftonthatshotclock, you might want to get the ball into your best scorer's hands arid try and let him go one-on-one. "Defensively, you might see some more trapping and some more zone to try and force a low percent- age shot. It will be a very interest- ing thing to watch This rule is not written in stone forever, thankfully. If it does not work out, it can be switched back at the end of the season. This rule will not affect every team however Under new head coach Paul Westhead, George Ma- son will be shooting the ball about every six to eight seconds. He wants to shoot the ball at least 100 times a game (the normal is about 60). ECU fans will be in for quite a show when the Patriots visit Minges. The bottom line: This new shol clock rule should really not affect the style of ECU basketball, but no one knows for certain until it is tested.

"Micha para' In the sprin ally took of bout tour Because scores teams often ;ain repu- tations for not playing d e f e n s e His system, though, will not work with- out it. Westhead initiates a man-to- man full-court press with traps. The goal of his defense is to force a turn- over or a quick shot. "We put a high priority on our defense he said. "Now, how it is and how it would be evaluated by the viewer might be different, but 1 know it generates the speed that 1 want we get up and attack you so were not going to have to plav de- fense tor 35seconds�we're going to play defense for five seconds. But, what I would dispute with people is that the five seconds we play is very, very hard. Too sav we play no defense is grossly incorrect. To say mat may be more accurate. But in five seconds, we hit you good Some of the doubts about his svstem stem from his lack oi success with the Denver Nuggets. In his two seasons with the team, the Nuggets won just over a fourth ot their games. "At Denver when 1 arrived, it wasa depleted team Westhead said. ' Alex En- glish and Fat 1 ever had gone away be- fore I ar- rived so you're running in to a team that had to let all their good players go because they weren't win- ning enough, and they had to start over. To do that you've got to have about a five, six vear blueprint. Un- fortunately, when vou're the next coach coming in after a couple of stars leave, vou're starting from scratch Your svstem can take you so far. I was a fast-break coach in 1980 when we won a world's cham- pionship and was a fast-break coach in 1992 when we came in last in Den- ver Other detractors of his system argue that it works on a collegiate level because of the time span be- tween games but would wear out an NBA team because of the longer games and more grueling schedules. "I would still dispute that � the easy answer is 'they pla s2 games and 4S minutes It' too long and the plavers can't keep the pace Westhead said. And, to this day, I'm certain that's exactly why it should work. Because the problem of pace isn't with your team, the prob- lem ot the pace is with the opposi- tion. As much as it could work in college, it could work in the NBA. But will it? Can you get guvs to do that is another issue Unfortunately, Westhead does not know what to expect from his current team at CMC or the confer- ence. Well, va talk about going in blind. It's the classic case of it he said. "1 have none of that advantage of being familiar with the players. So as we start practice, I'll have to learn who the players are as they go through the first week, 10 days. "A friend of mind called me up and said, 'did you see that Street & Smith picked you eight?' and I said, 'well, that's not so bad I didn't real- ize that there was only eight teams in the league. 1 thought it was a 10-team league we only have the opportu- nity of moving up And at a very quick pace, if Westhead has his way.

He's a real big key tor us Junior college transfer Chuckie Robinson has been the biggest bully in the paint during the preseason. He has been ferocious under the glass and draws a lot of fouls on offense. Robinson could start at power forward and Curlev Youngatsmall forward with freshman Don Dou- glas backing up Gill at center. Forward Wilbert Hunter started 13 of the first 14 games last vear, but the transition from Chowan College was difficult and he plaved a reserve role the re- mainder of the season. Kevin Armstrong may see more plaving time this year at for- ward. An All-CAA Rookie Team member in 1990-91, Armstrong was lost to a blown knee midway through the next season. After recovering and playing IS games last vear, Payne said he expects Armstrong to surprise people this season. With Lvons in the backcourt will be CAA All-Rookie Team member "Ice" Kareem Richardson. An improved jump shot mav take the lightning-quick Richardson into the elite class of the CAA. With freshman Skipp Schaefbauer, the Pirates have per- haps the best backcourt trio in the conference. Schaefbauer, h-foot-4 and 200 pounds, can hit from well behind the three point line, dish the ball off and plav in the paint. ECU has been picked to finish as high as third in the CAA, but Tavne said he thinks forth or fifth is a little more realistic. Even if the Pirates finish seventh again, it doesn't reallv matter: "We're not interested in just winning games, we want to win championships Payne said.
