Increase in parking decal prices imminent
By Jason Williams
Assistant News Editor
Would you pay $130 for a
scrap of paper? How about $120
plus a fee increase of $64? Maybe
$230 total, but with a parking
deck thrown in for good mea-
sure? The Parking Committee
met on Thursday to determine
how much to charge for parking
stickers next semester. They
came to no conclusions, but
formed another committee to
talk about it.
The committee, made up
of university officials, staff and
faculty representatives, and
three student representatives,
Students get
exchanged
By Tammy Zion
Staff Writer
Do you want to go to Aus-
tralia, Puerto Rico or France? Do
you think you could never afford
it? Think again. ECU's Foreign
exchange program can send you
to several locations throughout
the world, most of them costing
the same as ECU tuition.
Two ECU School of Busi-
ness graduate students, Sallie
Edwards and Craig Mayeux, are
in France this spring. They are the
first graduate students to partici-
pate in the ECU's new Interna-
tional Management Exchange
program. This program only ad-
mits graduate students. Under-
graduates also have opportuni-
ties to study in France through
other programs offered at ECU.
Edwards and Mayeux will
be attending business classes,
taught in English, at the Superior
Commerce School of Tours. The
school is one of the best known
business schools in France, said
Stephanie Evancho of ECU's In-
ternational Programs office.
"These two graduate stu-
dents are really fortunate to be
the first ones to go Evancho said.
"I think they are going to have a
great experience, especially with
the opportunity to study the lan-
guage
The students went to France
this month to learn French abso-
lutely free. The program is only
offered during the spring semes-

also reviewed a document pre-
pared by Dr. Layton Getsinger,
associate vice chancellor for
Business Affairs. The East Caro-
lina Univeisity Parking System
Discussion Paper contains a brief
history of the parking problems
on campus and offers several
solutions to those problems.
"There has been a lot of
rhetoric in the last several
months with the parking spaces
being taken up by the new rec
center Why don't we have a
parking deck?" Getsinger said.
"What I did was to show how
we can have a parking deck with
two different scenarios
Getsinger calculated fig-
ures based on an 1,800 space
parking deck at a total cost of
$16.2 million. Scenario One re-
quires increasing the price of
parking decals by $50 annually
and increasing annual student
fees by $64. Scenario Two re-
quires increasing parking decals
by $160 annually with no in-
crease in student fees.
"This would have to be a
student, as well as a faculty and
staff, referendum; this is not
something we should dictate
because we are talking about a
significant amount of money
Getsinger said.
The last time the Parking
Committee raised fees was 1991.
Lancaster visits ECU
By Tammy Zion
Staff Writer
Martin Lancaster, a Demo-
cratic representative for eastern
North Carolina, spoke about health
care reform in Pitt County Memo-
rial Hospital's auditorium at 8 a.m.
last Friday morning.
Lancaster has visited ECU
four times within the past year and
offers a great deal of support to
ECU's College Democrats.
"It's a really rare opportu-
nity to sit down and get to ask your
congressmen 'What's the scoop out
there?' without hearing it from a
TV camera and sound bites said
Thomas Blue, president of ECU's
College Democrats.
Lancaster discussed in some
detail the five most popular health
care reform plans currently being
debated in Washington. Lancaster
said that 34 million Americans do
not have health insurance. He be-
lieves something will pass this year,
because of enormous pressure on
Congress. ECU students were
present in the audience and were
able to ask Lancaster which plan
would best benefit collegians.
"I think it is important as a
representative to get your input
Lancaster said. "This is a two-way
street
President Clinton's plan of-
fers universal health care cover-
age. All employers will be required
to insure employees but small
businesses with less than 75 em-
ployees will receive government
subsidies. Clinton also hopes to
offer employees a choice of health
insurance alliances, therefore low-
ering prices through competition.
Paul Wellstone from Min-
nesota has offered what Congress
refers to as the "Canadian plan
Lancaster explained that
Wellstone's plan would eliminate
all presentcoverageand cover citi-
zens under onecentral federal plan
paid for by payroll taxes.
Republican Senator John
Chafee, from Rhode Island, has
proposed mandatory health in-
surance for individuals. Lancaster
compared this to present day car
insurance. Under this plan em-
ployers could still offer health in-
surance as a fringe benefit but
would not be required to do so.
Bob Michel, Republican mi-
nority leader in the House, would
require all employers to cover, but

Locals help out in Calif.
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) ? A
bus-sized mobile clinic maintained
by the Veterans Affairs Medical
Center here has been sent to Cali-
fornia toassistearthquakevictims.
But instead of making a
lengthy drive, the clinic was air-
lifted by a giantC-5 cargo jet. Crews
at Pope Air Force Base loaded the
clinic into the jet Saturday night.
The mobile clinic includes
two examination rooms and a
waiting area, and has a generator
and its own water supply, said
Tom Arnold, acting director at
the VA center.
Theclinic, normally used by
the VA center to make weekly
visits to veterans throughout the
state, was used to help victims
during Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Four staff members to oper-
ate the mobile clinic were also
sent.
The committee decided at that
time the $20 increase (from $50
to $70) would be the last in-
crease for three years.
"I think we lived up to our
commitments. The question is
'Does that $70 per year fee pro-
vide us with the resources we
need to buy land, pave lots,
build a parking garage, do the
expansion that everyone wants,
or does that fee have to increase
and, if so, by how much? vice
chancellor for Business Affairs
Richard Brown asked.
Dean of Students Ronald
Speier turned the discussion
away from the needs of the uni-
versity and toward who is al-
lowed to purchase a parking de-
cal.
"I question why we sell so
many stickers for so few spots
Speier said. "I think we need to
address the issue of who can
park on the campus and where.
I think it is heresy to continue to
sell to whoever steps up and
wants one. We need to have that
discussion as to who can park
on campus.
"It's like ocean front prop-
erty?not everybody is going to
own it. It can't be like the mall,
where everybody wants to park
next to Belk's. We have to un-
derstand, we don't run a shop-
ping center he said.
Getsinger said that be-
fore the university decides to
build a parking deck, the Park-
ing Committee must decide
what level of service to pro-
vide Currently, ECU has 34
parking spaces for every 100
persons on campus. Getsinger
gives 40 spaces per 100 per-
sons as average for the UNC
system and 55 spaces per 100
for the highest level of service
at UNC-Charlotte.
Committee chair Dr.
Dennis Chestnut took issue
with a figure given in

Imagine a perfect world.
Chances are, you dream of a peace-
ful environment ? no wars, no
fighting, no hatred or prejudice,
just as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
envisioned. Last week, ECU stu-
dents voiced their hopes and
dreams for a better world.
"Would you like to join us in
making a wish for world peace?"
asked Harriett Bailey, a worker in
Chancellor Eakin's office, as stu-
dents passed by the Wish Board
for World Peace in the Brody
Building last week. Thursday
morning was the last day the
board visited ECU as part of the
week-long celebration of Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King, r. 's life and work.
The board was set up in three
locations over a three-day period.
On Tuesday, it was in the Wright
Place. Wednesday's Wish Board
was located in Minges, and the
Brody Building hosted the board
on Thursday.
Many people who saw the
Wish Board glanced at it curiously,
then stopped for a closer look
when asked to make a wish.
People making wishes received a
black and gray ribbon for their
support.
Wishes ranged from per-
sonal wishes to hopes of peace for
the entire world. Here are some
anonymous examples of wishes
visitors to the Board made:
"Stop the violence. Let's all
make the world a better place to
live for us and the future genera-

So. California begins long road to recovery
LOS ANGELES (AP) ?
Commuters poured onto a
crippled freeway system yester-
day, testing a patchwork of re-
pairs and detours the engineers
hoped would ease gridlock
brought by the Northridge earth-
quake.
While early traffic through
one bottleneck north of Los An-
geles moved faster than expected,
highways and surface streets on
the city's west side were jammed
as motorists made their way
around several breaks in Inter-
state 10.
Train service helped ease
the crunch for commuters from
the Santa Clarita Valley, 25 miles
northwest of Los Angeles, but
there were no rails for west side
commuters to ride.
Scott Willens, 38, a garment
district worker, found his first ride
on the train an enjoyable one. But he
worried about not having his late
model Honda for emergencies.
"Basically your wings are
clipped he said. "In California,
your car is your freedom
As for the drive from the north:
"It'salot better than TV said it would
be said Tom Bateman, who rode
with a friend from Santa Clarita and
made it to work at a rocket engine
plant in Canoga Park in 45 minutes.
Similar commutes took three
hours last week. ?
The year-old Metrolink train
system added routes Monday in
hopes that disaster would suc-
ceed where public relations has
failed and lure commuters in this
automobile Mecca outof their cars.
For some residents, com-
muting is the last thing on their
minds.
Thousands of people are
staying in shelters or outdoors,
where the temperatures d ropped
to 55 overnight.

Development Secretary Henry
Cisneros said this morning that

It's snowing! Get naked and celebrate!
About 300 male and female students stripped naked and
sprinted through 25-degree weather at Princeton University in
New Jersey to celebrate the first snowfall of the winter. Runners
skidded around the icy grounds Jan. 4 while clothed spectators
cheered and the strains of "Chariots of Fire" wafted from a
dormitory window. Some joggers in the Nude Olympics took
precautions from the cold. They wore shoes, socks, hats, gloves
and one even donned a football helmet. Two students were taken
to a nearby hospital, one for treatment of extreme intoxication and
the other for lacerations of the back and legs. This is not the first
year some students were injured. In 1992, two young women
were found passed out naked in the cold after they drank too
much. That same year, about two dozen male students dashed
through a restaurant, frightening patrons and smashing a plate-
glass window.
Female student enters The Citadel
The gates of The Citadel finally opened last week to a
woman armed with several court orders and the will to be the first
woman cadet at the all-male military college. Eighteen-year-old
Shannon Faulkner was allowed to attend the classes she regis-
tered for months ago, but not before obtaining another court
decree. After a lower court ordered The Citadel to enroll her,
Chief Justice William Rehnquist granted a stay to keep Faulkner
out. Faulkner, who plans on majoring in education, will take only
day classes and will not live on campus.
Ithaca's recycling in the toilet
Ithaca College's waste paper recycling efforts are paying off
as much of the estimated 190,000 pounds of paper that is trucked
off campus each year will return as toilet paper. The college had
an agreement with Stevens & Thompson Paper Co. of Greenwich,
N.Y. to recycle its waste paper into toilet tissue. "This is a great
program because everyone winssaid Rick Couture, the college's
superintendent of custodial services. Stevens & Thompson will
make free pickups of waste paper, recycle the material into toilet
tissue and sell it back to the college at a favorable rate. College
officials estimate that by May the college will have saved nearly
$15,000. "We're happy with what we've been able to accomplish
Couture said. "We'vebeen sensitive to both the environment and
the bottom line.

Children become victims
Compiled by Jason Williams. Taken from CPS
and other campus newspapers.
RALEIGH (AP) ? Police
know what to do with the adults
when they raid a house in search of
drug suspects ? handcuff them
and haul them off to jail. But what
about the children?
Authorities are discovering
more frequently that when drug
dealers go to jail, somebody has to
take care of the youngsters.
Inmost instances, local offi-
cials aren't equipped to do it.
"It's terrible said Canessa
Stafford, a supervisor for Durham
County'sChild Protection Services.
"They're overloading our foster
homes. We have a limited number
of supplies. All of a sudden you
have to put down what you're do-
ing and use your resources to see
where these kids can go
In Wake and Durham coun-
ties, police estimate, children turn
up about 80 percent of the time in
drug raids. In Orange County, the
frequency is about 60 percent, Vie
News & Observer of Raleigh re-
ported.
Some say that shouldn't be
surprising.
"The majority of the dealers
are in the child-bearing age, be-
tween 18 and 35 years old said
Sgt. W.L. Rowe, a nine-year vet-
eran of the Wake Sheriff's Depart-
ment.
"And a lot of our searches
revolve around housing projects
where a lot of those in drugs are
single mothers. Either they're deal-
ing ? or dealers are using their
homes to deal or stash drugs
Helen Barry, who manages
the 99 foster homes in Durham
County, said the system is over-
whelmed by the numbers of chil-
dren losing their parents.
And with the state's crack-
down on drugs building momen-
tum ?and money for social agen-
cies getting scarce ? the problem
isn't likely to get better soon.
The problem isn't confined
to social workers being over-
whelmed and foster homes being

"Can you imagine the shock
of seeing these guys with masks

house?" asked Lt. CD. Clark, anl8-
year veteran with the Durham Po-
lice Department. "The one thing

In Durham, police deal with
children so often they tell stories
about changing diapers, treating
hungry kids to Big Macs for lunch,
and baby-sitting the children at po-
lice headquarters.
The fortunate children can
move in with a grandmother or
aunt when their parents go to jail.
But those arrangements can be tem-
porary. Social workers often have
to shuffle children from relative to
relative, from relative to foster home,
from foster home to group home?
and back again.
"Some have seen so much
they're just complacent ? numb
said PattyClarke,a supervisor with
the Orange County Child Protec-
tion Service. "They're kids who can
be only 3. But they're old. Not in age
but experience
At least one law enforcement
agency has responded to the prob-
lem.
Since 1973, the Chapel Hiil
Police Department has used what it
callsaCrisisUnit?a team of trained
social workers who have offices at
police headquarters and work
alongside officers during any arrest
that affects a family.
Its members say it's the only
one of its kind in the state.
"The philosophy is that we
try to respond to people where they
are and make sure their dignity is
intact said Jim Huegrich, a Crisis
Unit counselor for 19 years.
"That can often fall through
thecracksbecause la w enforcement
officials have a job to do. Well, this
law enforcement office has a con-
science.

The East Carolinian 3
Abuse case affects many
EDENTON, N.C. (AP) ?
1 ;to in this small, historic town in
northeastern North Carolina will
never be the same for Warren
Twiddv because of a child sexual
abuse case.
Twiddv isn't the only one in
this town of some 6,000 people
affected, but he stands out because
two members of his family have
been sent to prison tor abusing
children.
Five years ago to the week,
local authorities began an investi-
gation of the Little Rascals Day
Care Center. The dav care was
owned and operated bv Twiddv's
daughter, Elizabeth, and her hus-
band Robert F. Kellv Jr. They ran ll
in a remodeled bottling plant that
Twiddv owned, a stone's throw
from Broad Street and the countv
courthouse.
In January 1989, rumors of
strange happenings at Little Ras-
cals began to circulate. Soon, a
orobe found evidence of sexual
abuse. By April, the day care cen-
ter was closed and Kelly was
charged.
That process started the ru-
ination of Twiddy's dream of
pleasant retirement. Today, at age
75, he can't afford to retire.
"I was going to retire five
years ago Twiddv said. "When
this came up, I had to dispose of
some of my assets in order to ob-
tain(defense lawyer) Joe Cheshire.
That eliminated my retirement
Twiddv sold his insurance
agencv to raise money. He still has
a construction and real estate busi-
ness and, despite a stroke thatlim-
ited his vision, works almost dailv.
His wife, Alice, has worked for the
state 25 years but, to help the fam-
ily, hasn't retired as assistant court
clerk.
"That has kept us going
Twiddy said.
Cheshire says Twiddv is one
reason the family stayed together.
"Mr. Twiddy is the kind of
man who would have played the
father in any ot tho old Robert
Young movies Cheshire said.
"I ie's a sweet man who loves his
children.
"He's probably poorer now
than he was when he started out
in business
Nancy Smith, Twiddy 'sother
daughter, said the family bond is
about all they have left. Once, fa-
ther and daughters would ride
around town and "Daddv would
say, 'One day thai building will be
yours, and this one will be yours"
Mrs Smith said. "He's worked all
his lite to acquire or build assets
and they're gone, liquidated
The town has a wonderful
ambiance: historic homes on the
town harbor and a busy down-
town where children can roam
safely and freely. Kids can walk
into first-run movies if their par-
ents pav a $40 fee for six months of
entertainment. One parent de-
scribed the town as "still a won-
derful place to raise children
But that Eden ton is "gone for-
ever" to Nancv Smith. Elizabeth
Kellv said she'll never come back
bo live here, although she'll visit
her family.
The plea agreement Mrs.
Kellv accepted Friday will help
Twiddv realize his goal of bring-
ing his family together after trying
for five years.
"I'm trying to bring the fam-
ily back together and got this thing
behind us Twiddy said. "We've
been traveling and going and sepa-
rated and we just want to get back
together
When the investigation be-
gan, Twiddy said, he was shunned
at the local Baptist church and in
business and Democratic political
circles.
"It's not as much ot a prob-
lem now as it was a year ago
Twiddv said. "People have spo-
ken to me in the last six months that
haven't spoken to me in three or
four years. Time heals a lot of
things
Below-freezing temps result in several deaths
NORTH CAROLINA (AP)
? Two children died during the
weekend when they toll into par-
tial Iv-frozen ponds in separate
incidents, while an elderly
woman was found frozen todeath
in her home, authorities said.
Two ot tho deaths occurred
in tho Robeson Countv town ot
Red Springs.
Larry Wayne Locklear, 7,
was playing with children on an
ice-covered farm pond Saturdav
when he fell through tho ice, ac-
cording to i Vputv Randy Ivey of

partment.
Rescue volunteers spotted
the child through the ice, but it
took nearly 30 minutes to got to
him.
An hour earlier, the body ol
73-vear-old Mattie 1 each was
found bv her brother in her Red
Springs homo.
Police Lt. Jerrv Parkor said
officials at Southeastern Regional
Medical Center determined that
the woman died from exposure to

know how li ng she had been dead
Ho said there was no elec-
tricity or heat in the home.

The victim was Wendy

were fired from a gold Camaro

Official fired after arrest
RALEIGH (AP) ? A top offi-
cial for the state's alcohol-breath
testing program has been fired less
than three weeks after being ar-
rested for driving while impaired.
C. Da vid Land was fired Mon-
day from his job as assistant chief of
the breathalyzer operator training
program in the state Division of
Epidemiology.
"Land was dismissed due to
conduct that's inconsistent with his
job responsibilities Secretary
Jonathan Howes of the Department
of Environment, Health and Natu-
ral Resources said in a prepared
statement.
Land, 44, had worked in the
breathalyzer program since 1982,
and received an annual salary of
541,794. His dismissal waseffective
immediately.
Land was charged with DWI
on Jan. 6 after he was stopped by a
Raleigh police officer. He later re-
fused to submit to a breathalyzer
test, court papers said
An off-duty state trooper and
an officer for the Division of Motor
Vehicles were with Land when he
was arrested. Land's arrest was his
second DWI arrest in three years.
After his arrest, he blew twice
into a machine called an Intoxil yzer
3000. Because thedisparity between
the readings was so great, he was
ordered to blow into the machine a
third time, police said.

said.
The quake, which struck a
week ago yesterday and measured
6.6 on the Richter scale, is being
blamed for 57 deaths. Aftershocks
as strong as 4.5 on the Richter
scale kept the city on edge over
the weekend.
The Red Cross was shelter-
ing 10,500 people in schools, gym-
nasiums and tents. An additional
4,400 people were in tent cities
put up by the National Guard and
run by the Salvation Army.
Estimates on the number of
people camping outside the offi-
cial shelter system in cars, parks
and vacant lots varied wildly.

Aftershocks have many
survivors so frightened they
refuse to return to their homes
no matter what the building in-
spectors say.
Teams of interpreters,
clergy, mental health and social
workers and building inspectors
have been dispatched to per-
suade the voluntarily homeless
to move indoors.
U.S. Transportation Secre-
tary Federico Pena rode the
Metrolink commuter train on its
inaugural run today from
Lancaster, 40 miles north of
downtown in the Antelope Val-

ridership had doubled today, to
more than 20,000.
"The system works very
efficiently. It's clean, it's safe, it's

ees could split premiums. Lancaster
believes this proposal is receiving
equal support from Republicans
and Democrats alike.
"I think you're going to see a
real push for them Congress to

said Lancaster.
Lancaster is unsure of what

will not pass. He is also strongly
opposed to Clinton's proposed to-
bacco tax.
"It is especially unfair to one

ECU's College Democrats
have been in close association with
Representative Lancaster for quite
a while. Over 30 members were
able to attend inaugural events last
year thanks to Lancaster. He also

night.

"I have students who re-
peatedly have classes over in
Minges. They can't get to cam-
pus. I saw that 10-minute figure.
It must have been when the bus
was sitting right there waiting
on you he said.
Chestnut admitted that it
was the student's responsibility
to know the bus schedule and
get there on time, but said, "If
I'm paying for it, I also have the
right to have the service i f I want
it there. If you have to wait 10
minutes there and then it's an-
other 10-minute ride, then that
is 20 minutes
Responding to a question
about the number of spaces taken
by the rec center, Speier insisted
that the university replaced
them. "We put in more spaces
than we displaced before fall
semester even started because
we anticipated fencing that area
off he said.
The committee then formu-
lated questions that they would
need to decide upon at a later
date. They eventually settled on
three questions; how much to
budget for parking, what level
of service to provide and who
can park where and for how
much.
Chairman Chestnut turned
the first question over to Brown
and Getsinger to consider. For
the latter question, he created a
subcommittee to be chaired by
Dean Speier to debate the issue
and bring back recommenda-
tions. SGA Vice President Troy
Dreyfuss is the student repre-
sentative on this subcommittee.
While the committee de-
bated such plans as a graduated
fee scale for parking based on
accessibility, a lottery for pre-
mium spaces and a seniority sys-
tem for the best places, they did
not reach a consensus on any
issue.
Director of Parking and
Traffic Services Patricia Gertz in-
dicated that the committee will
not be able to raise fees for 1994-
95. "A decision is really going
to have to come before March. I
have to order permits, and if we
change the style . . . she said.
"We are talking about a
long range plan, Chestnut said
"We might have to give a year.
We might not raise it next year
Getsinger's Discussion Pa-
per lists other important facts
concerning parking on campus.
For the 6,500 spaces on main
campus, ECU sold 10,000 park-
ing decals. The 6,500 figure was
prior to the fencing off of the
Mendenhall lot.
Parking needs for 2000 are
projected to be 7,362spacesfora
"low level of service" based on a
student population of 22,308. For
a medium level of service, the
parking needs figure rises to
8,923. The campus master plan
currently calls for 1,100 addi-
tional spaces (for a total of 7,600)
to be added by 2000.
Students at UNC-Chapel
Hill pay $292 for parking decals
while students at N.C. State pay

Focus on abortion sharpens over weekend I
Rot' vs. Wade. The single-most decisive
Supreme Court ruling of the Seventies. If you
weren't aware of the fact, this Saturday marked
the 21st anniversary of the decision that af-
firmed a constitutional right to abortion. And
along with it came the usual protests and
marches by anti-abortion activists.
This year, however, brought a focused
message aimed directly at the president, as if
he single-handedly took abortion rights by the
hand and crammed the concept down the
throats of the American people. The allega-
tions, though, should come as a surprise to no
one, in an issue that has caused bitter debate
since its emergence two decades ago.
The activists say that Clinton's plan to
include abortion in his health care program
gives new urgency to their cause. Representa-
tive Christopher Smith, R-N.J urged march-
ers to step up their fight against abortion be-
cause "with Clinton's aggressive assault on
children well under way we don't have a
moment to lose These people make it sound
like Clinton sits behind his desk in the Oval
Office and plots day and night towards what
they would consider the elimination of chil-
dren (since pro-lifers and pro-choicers are in
disagreement about when life begins).
That allegation is just as proposterous as
the view pro-choice activists take towards the
other side: that everyone from that camp is a
Bible-totin' Christian.
Abortion is an issue people take very
personally. Which is why the president's deci-
sion to include abortion in the basic benefits all
Americans would be guaranteed has met with
such resistance. Supporters, of course, say the
procedure and contraceptives mustbe included
in any health care plan to help reduce the num-
ber of unwanted pregnancies.
The problem, when you take a magnifying
glass and realty look at abortion, is that the
activists are using religion to justify their beliefs
? in country that has flourislwd on the separa-
tion of church and state. The simple ideals that
allowed this country to grow into what it is ? a
beacon of freedom ? have been twisted to
support the religious right.
With religion serving as the justification,
protestors gather outside of abortion clinics and
taunt, plead with and generally harrass those
entering the clinics. Without regard to the feel-
ings and emotions of the women, they impose
the "right beliefs" upon others. As of Monday,
however, theSupremeCourt ruled unanimously
that abortion rights advocates may use a federal
racketeering law to sue the protestors who block
women's access to the building.
The decision, while focused only on inter-
preting a federal law, is a big victory for the
National Organization of Women, which took
the case to the high court. There is still work to
be done, in terms of defining the legal issues
surrounding anti-abortion activities. Waiting to
be clarified (by July) is how far courts and local
governments may go in restricting protestors
outside abortion clinics. This could have enor-
mous impact across the nation.
Perhaps the words of Florida's Supreme
Court ruling last October say it best, stating that
while the Constitution's First Amendment "con-
fers on each citizen a powerful right to express
oneself, it gives the picketer no boon to jeopar-
dize the health, safety and rights of others
By Brian Hall
Roe v. Wade interfered with political process
This weekend marked the
twenty-first anniversary of
what is always described as the
"landmark decision" Roe vs.
Wade. It was a landmark deci-
sion because it marked the high
point (hope-
fully) of judicial ???????
activism in this
country. The
Supreme Court
created a new
constitutional
right out of
whole cloth.
In the
words of
Michael
Kinsley, liberal
pro-choice lawyer and colum-
nist, the "legal reasoning in Roe
was, in a word, a mess. There
was almost no effort to explain
where this 'right' to abortion
came from (We also agree
that the decision was one of the
worst things to happen to lib-
eralism. More on that later.)
The only attempt at a le-
gal justification is that it is an
expansion of the court's 1965
decision that in the
"penumbrasformed by ema-
nations" of the inferential right
to privacy, Americans have a
right to contraceptives.
I do not dispute that there
is a right to privacy. Indeed, I
believe that the government al-
ready interferes with our pri-
vate lives too much. The fal-
lacy in using this right to jus-
tify a right to abortion is that
every other privacy decision of
me high court involves protect-
ing the exercise of political free-
dom or controlling the power
of police.
Both of these are explic-
itly and prominently mentioned
in the Bill of Rights. Abortion
involves neither of these.
For example, no reason-
able person would dispute that
people have a right to be pro-
t e c t e d
metaphysical
questions, such as
when life begins,
do not belong in
the Constitution.
from the
state, were
it to decree
that they
may not
use contra-
ceptives in
the privacy
of their
own
homes, as
was ruled
in 1965.
Whether this right should
be extended to abortion is an-
other matter entirely. For, in
abortion, there may (or may not,
depending on personal belief)
be another person, the unborn
child, involved. No sensible con-
struction of the right to privacy
would permit a sadist to torture
a masochist to death in the pri-
vacy of their own home.
This type of legal reason-
ing almost boundlessly en-
hances the power of the state.
Once constitutional law be-
comes, in the words of a Justice
Department brief from 1985, a
"picnic to which the framers
bring the words and the judges
bring the meaning the sys-
tem is in place for judicial tyr-
anny.
Perhaps, like those on the
pro-choice side, you like the way
the court has ruled in the past.
How long will it be until that
same power falls into the hands
of those with whom you dis-
agree?
For example, most people
do not agree that drugs should
be legal, even in the privacy of
one's own home. Using even
clearer reasoning than that used
in Roe, the high court could rule
at any time that the right of pri-
vacy extends to drugs, though
that would greatly reduce the
power of the police. Or, using a
similarly loose reading of the
"due process" clause of the Fifth
Amendment, the five justices
could rule that abortion de-
prives the unborn of life, and is
therefore unconstitutional.
The moral of all this is that
metaphysical questions, such as
when life begins, do not belong
in the Constitution. Abortion in-
volves the competing desires of
society to protect life and the
individual's desire for control
of her own life and body.
Such conflicts involving
societal mores should be de-
cided by the people's represen-
tatives at the state level. If Rot'
had not interfered with the nor-
mal political process, then abor
tion would be widely available
now, as Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg testified in her Senate
confirmation hearings.
Rot' was bad for liberalism,
because overnight it created a
new mass movement of previ-
ously uninvolved, social-issue
conservatives This new move-
ment bodes ill for all of us, be-
cause it has fallen into the hands
of the religious right.
While I do not intend to
bash conservative Christians
(since I am one myself), I cannot
deny that too many of its lead-
ers have an intolerant nature
which will be dangerous when
they come to power.

Professors' initial tactics prove sneaky later
During the first week of the
semester, students fill a classroom
10 minutes early awaiting the
professor's arrival. We have all
been well-fed and well-rested dur-
ing the holiday break and with this
much-needed rejuvenation, we
declare that this is going to be a
Dean's List semester. By selecting
our seat, we mark our territory so
that we may present to the profes-
sor a picture of commitment and
consistency. The last remaining
minutes until the class begins we
mingle with familiar classmates
and catch up on the details of old
friends' lives.
As our appointed leader en-
ters, his weighty stack of introduc-
tory materials seems to will to their
bearer that at any second they will
topple to the floor, destroying any
sense of organization. He begins
with the usual welcoming address
and then, with determination, pulls
from the bottom of his stack that
familiar print-out from which he
will methodically sound out each
name awaiting the traditional re-
sponse or gesture that assures we
are all in the right class at the right
time.
After the completion of the
roll, we all await the 4- to 5-page
syllabus containing the goals, ob-
jectives, dates and assignments to
which we must strictly adhere in
order to pass the class.
This is where the tactics be-
gin! The professor says something
like, "Well, I didn't have time to
complete the course syllabus, so
why don't we just open up with a
nice discourse on the history and
purposeof (Youfillinthe
blank.) For the next three class
periods students find themselves
in an arena where they can openly
discuss topics pertaining to the
subject matter, jot down short
words or phrases to help their
memories recall a certain point of
interest, and think, "Wow! What a
great class! 1 can share my view-
point with others
Not so fast there. Did you
ever stop to think that this person
has an ulterior motive in this action
he so casually dismisses as a result
of a lack of time? Here's news for
you, he does. Don't think for a
minute this person has the intellect
to receive a doctorate in something
or other only on the basis of his
ability to do thorough research or
publish instead of perish. Perhaps
some of our established educators
are no longer the shakers or the
movers, but they will forever re-
main the thinkers. By not shoving
a 4- to 5-page syllabus down our
throats the first couple class peri-
ods they begin to meticulously cul-
tivate a relationship that makes it
tough for students to abort.
The first few classes involve a
nice exchange of intellectual inter-
course among you, the professor
and your classmates. The profes-
sor provokes a positive image in
everything, and repeatedly encour-
ages his open door policy to "come
up and see me sometime Stu-
dents have now been sucked into a
vacuum like pieces of old lint off a
worn carpet. Through the lively
discourse in class we have devel-
oped a vision of a God. He is kind,
caring, funny, respectable, not to
mention omniscient and omnipo-
tent. We have been blinded by his
good-guy personage and feel privi-
leged to be a part of his class. Now,
he's got us right where he wants
us, and he knows it.
As we file in for the third or
fourth class period, something is
different. The kind brow is now
pointed and menacing. The eyes
are somewhat glaring and beady.
The smile is more like a smirk and
his hands are gently caressing a 3-
foot high pile of papers. Here it is.
It's an 8-page death doctrine he
calls a syllabus and by the time we
finish its every detail, we are psy-
chologically screwed. By the end
of the semester we will have read
20 novels, 1,000 or more pages from
various, $60 anthologies, com-
pleted 6 papers and 5 research as-
signments, and have been tested,
quizzed or exa mined on every fact,
theory, classification or calculation.
How can this be? We begin to
rationalize like old lovers: We were
so good to each other! Didn't we
share the same feelings?! What
have I done to deserve this?! And
so it goes.
Open discussion has be-
come extinct, and each class pe-
riod has become a confined lec-
ture. We listen to this person an-
swer his own questions and fasci-
nate no one but himself by regur-
gitating those lofty ideals and that
high-fallutin' mumbo-jumbo jar-
gon he worked so hard to achieve
through his many yearsof educa-
tion. We are finishing one
thought, and he is four sentences
into another. Eventually, we en-
ter each class lethargically, mak-
ing sure we never sit in the same
seat so this monster cannot sink
his fangs into our jugulars when
he asks a question that, miracu-
lously, he's not going to answer
himself, yet certainly, we are never
prepared to answer.
When we finally muster up
enough courage to speak with this
bohemian after class, he says, "see
me during my office hours So
we go. After 10 minutes of stut-
tering and stammering, we exit
the obtrusive den of the demon
with the words, "refer to your
syllabus" echoing inside our di-
minutive minds.
Finally, we must all keep in
mind that no matter what our
defense, the professor feels no
remorse in expecting the impos-
sible. Why? Because the elite
educator believes his is the only
class we signed up for; we have
no jobs, no families, no friends,
and because we have no social
lives, we have nothing better to
do anyway. He knows he has
trapped us! He knows the psy-
chological tug-of-war of whether
to like him or hate him will carry
him through the seventh week
and by then, things have calmeti
down, patterns are set, and who
cares?
Note: Of course there are
some professors who do not fit
this classification, and I happily
report that all six of my own are
clear exceptions!
Not unlike a long-forgotten pen pal, opinionated persons have ne-
glected the editorial page of The East Carolinian. With nothing else to run,
the above space (normally reserved for the public's lofty ideas) has been
filled with more journalistic post-Cold War meanderings.No need for that ?
here is your God-given right to wax and ramble poetically. Letters may be
addressed to: Opinion Editor, The East Carolinian, Publications Bldg ECU,

The Economics of the Citibank
Classic Visa card. How no annual fee, student discounts
and Price Protection create upward growth, a variety of factors have been suggested
as contributing to the economic growth of students, including (1) more lottery winners between the
ages of 18 and 22, (2) a 37 increase on earnings from bottle and can returns, (3) more students
doubling earnings in the lightning round of game shows, and (4) the Citibank Classic Visa? card. It's
this last one, however, that affects most students. 1 The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate
savings to student cardmembers. You can now receive the Citibank Classic card with No Annual Fee.
You can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights,1 a low variable interest rate of
15.4? as well as savings on mail order
purchases, sports equipment, music and
magazines. One might even have enough
savings to reinvest in a CD or two (the
musical kind, of course). 1 On the way to
the record store, or any store for that

Buyers Security" can cover these investments against accidental damage, fire or theft

Carrying it can help prevent fraud or any hostile takeover of your card. (Insiders speculate that it
makes quite a good student ID, too.) Even if one's card is stolen, or perhaps lost, The Lost
Waller Service can replace your card usually within 24 hours. H So never panic. As we all
know, panic, such as in the Great Panics of 1837, 1857 and 1929 can cause a downswing in a
market. But with 24-hour Customer Servic , there's no reason for it. A question about your account
is only an 800 number away. (Panic of the sort experienced the night before Finals is something
else again.) 1 Needless to say, building a credit history with the support of such services can only
be a boost. You're investing in futures-that future house, that future car, etc. And knowing the
Citibank Classic Visa card is there in your wallet should presently give you a sense of security,
rare in today's?how shall we say??fickle market. H To apply, call. Students don't need a job or a
cosigner. And call if you'd simply like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa card.
Here's the number: 1-800-CITIBANK, extension 19. (1-800-248-4226). 1 The Law of
Student Supply and Demand states, "If a credit card
satisfies more of a student's unlimited wants and

limited and often scarce resources?with the greatest
supply of services and savings possible?then students
will demand said credit card So, demand away?call.

Fulghum visits ECU in Feb.
'Renaissance man' brings best -
selling wit and wisdom
By Andy Suss
Photo courtesy of ECU News Bureau
Best-selling author Robert Fulgham will speak at Wright Auditorium on
Monday, Feb. 28th. Tickets are available now and will sell out fast.
Staff Writer
Not many authors earn the
distinction of having two books
vie simultaneously for the num-
ber one spot on the best-seller
list. Robert Fulghum earned that
mighty distinction when his first
two books, All I Really Need to
Know I learned in Kindergarten and
It was on Fire When I lay Down on
It, did just that.
His third book, Uh-Oh, and
his fourth and latest, Maybe
(Maybe Not), which came out last
August, are best-sellers now.
Point being, his books are great,
he is great, and he's coming to
ECU to speak and deliver a night
of mirth and truth Feb. 28 at 8:00
p.m. in Wright Auditorium.
Mr. Fulghum has been ev-
erywhere, Seattle to Thailand, and
done it all, bartender to minister.
He's even studied in a Zen Bud-
dhist monastery. He's a sculptor,
painter, a true renaissance man.
As Diana West, of Insight said,
"It's Andy Rooney mets Kahlil
Gibran and gets hugged by Leo
Buscaglia while listening to "A
Prairie Home Companion
So what is he all about? Ev-
erything. What did he learn in
kindergarten? "Shareeverything.
Play fair. Don't hit people. Put
things back where you found
them. Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't
yours. Say you're sorry when
you hurt somebody And some
other things that would only serve
to make our lives and our world
a better place.
In Uh-Oh, Fulghum offers an
equation that encapsulates his
view of the boundaries of our
existence: "Uh-oh" "oh-wow"
"uh-oh" "oh, God" "ah-
hah But wait, there's more! In
Maybe (Maybe Not), Fulghum jux-
taposes the crazy maxims society
belches, for instance, "Nothing
ventured, nothing gained and
"Better safe than sorry Or "You
can't teach an old dog new tricks
and "It's never too late too learn
Looking at these nutty things,
Fulghum writes, "I once began a
list of the contradictory notions I
hold . The list goes on forever.
Once I got so caught up in this
kind of thinking that I wore two
buttons on my smock when I was
teaching art. One said, 'Trust me,
I'm a teacher The other replied,

Strutter
rocks Attic
By Mark Brett
Staff Writer
There was a time, not so long
ago, when giants walked the earth.
Itwas the Age of the RockGods,and
none trod the barren soil so heavily
as those mysterious harbingers of
evil ruin, KISS. Their names and
deeds are legend, and any true mem-
ber of the KISS Army can red te them
chapter and verse. But the age of
KISS is gone now; the once-mighty
Legion of Hell has been replaced by
a group of pink-faced human pre-
tenders. The heroes of our child-
hood nightmares have disappeared
forever into the mists of time.
Unless, of course, you count
Strutter, the KISS tribute band that
played to a packed house at the Attic
Saturday night. Strutter re-creates,
live on stage, a real KISS show
Makeup! Hashpots! Blood! Cheesy
demands for the crowd to cheer in
the middleof the songs! Rightdown
to Gene Simmons' demon boots and
leather bat-wing ort, Strutter has
everything that made the original
KISS the coolest thing on the planet
back in the 70s.
Strutter sticks very strictly to
the music of the original KISS; they
play nothing recorded after Peter
Criss and Ace Frehley left the band.
This makes their set fast and mean
and full of real crowd pleasers. Open-
ing (as KISS always did) with "De-
troitRockCity Strutter ripped into
a two-hour show that included such
KISS gems as "Love Gun "Cold
Gin and, of course, "Strutter
In a tender moment, the
drummer, "Peter Criss stepped out
front to sing the ballad "Beth long
regarded by many as one of the worst
songs KISS ever put to vinyl. But,
just like the real Peter Criss, our
Memorex version passed a bunch of
roses out to the crowd, perched on
his stool, and proceeded to sing his
burly heart out. Not a dry eye in the
house, I tell you
Other highlights included
"Ace Frehley's" guitar solo, during
which his instrument, yes, actually
smoked. "PaulStanley" worked the
crowd, flirting and primping and
demanding applause like a Roman
emperor. In his glittery purple fur-
lined waist coat, he played his role of
the band's pretty boy to the hilt.

ECU duo put life into tunes
By Sarah Wahlert
Staff Writer
just when you though t that it
was safe to say, "I know all the
local bands a new one waits in
the wings. Still toying with ideas
for a name for their band, this
guitar duo consists of two guys
named Robert Lewis and Dwain
Lawrence. Robert, who hails from
Elm City N.C is an EastCarolina
University pre-law student and
campus security guard. Dwain,
who's out of school and origi-
nally from Atlantic Beach, N.C
states, "I'm a mechanic by day
and a musician by night Ccinci-
dentally, both members were re-
cuperating from hospital stays
when they really got into practic-
ing guitar and songwriting.
Dwain, who lives upstairs
from Robert, was pounding on
the floor, so Robert came up to
complain. That was how they first
met. Soon after this incident, they
decided to work together. Rob-
ert, who plays acoustic and elec-
tric guitars, says his influences
are Eric Clapton, the Rolling
Stones, the Beatles, Led Zeppe-
lin, the Eagles and Jimmi Hendrix.
Dwain plays an Charvel electric
guitar and cites Eric Clapton and
Steve Vai as his main influences.
Both Robert and Dwain agree that
their sound is contemporary blues
with a hard,
thrash attitude.
Their songs
range in sound
anywhere from
the Black
Crowes to
Metal lica.
Although
Robert and
Dwain both
write the songs,
Robert offers
some knowl-
edge that he ?
gained from
writing, "To be a good songwriter,
you have to go through some hard
times because when you're in a
predicament, you learn that life's
unfair. Music helps you to appre-
ciate life better. We mainly just
want to be ourselves and write
songs that relate to daily life
Dwain agrees, "You put your life
into your tunes Robert adds,
"I'm a
mechanic by
day and a
musician by
night
"Like if someone makes us mad,
we put our anger into a song
Dwain expressed his disap-
pointment in all the good guitar-
ists who throw in the towel. He
said, "Don't give up. Put forth
an effort. Just
don'tquityour
job to do this
A while
back, Robert
and Dwain
sent a tape of a
song entitled
"Journey into
your Mind" to
WZMB. In a
couple of
weeks Dwain
will have a
home studio to
make record-
ing easier. Eventually, the duo
would like to play the local clubs
in Greenville; however, when
asked about doing tours or play-
ing ift remote cities, Dwain, who
has touring experience, said,

Koontz's new Mr.
Murder slow, fun
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
"I need
With these first two words,
Dean Koontz smudges the line
between reality and fantasy and
once again distorts the daily lives
of beloved characters into some-
thing just short of Insanity, Sou
opens his newest novel, Mr. Mur-
der.
Mr. Murder fcxsjses on the
Stillwater faniilv, seemingly
happy and mickBe-class, who are
literally tornapart from theirdaily
routine of love and sharing. Into
this happjrabodecomesone of the
most harrowing psychotics
known to fiction? a man who
has no conscience, no morals and
virtually no identity. This killer
wreaks havoc on the Stillwatefs,
forcing them to encompass the
very traits that they despise in the
manwhohasdestroyed theMtves.
Koontz once again wields his
talented pen ? at least thiraugh
the first half of the bewkKbonte
has proven time and time again
that he isotteof themastexsof plot
setup. Through the first 100 to 150
pages of the book, the reader is
guessing right along with the
StillwatetfamihVVhoistttfe mad-
man whohas suddenly appeared,
saying "You stole my wife, my
life, antirny children. 1 want them
back"? Mow does he keep com-
ing back, seemingly impervious
to bullets or injuries? Most impor-
tantly, why, why, why?
After the first half of the book,
Koontz slides down into a didac-
tic method that makes the book
slow and plodding. Coming close
to preaching about the state of
society today and its confusion
between fantasy and reality,
Koontz almost loses the reader
in boredom before trying val-
iantly to bring up the tempo to a
fever pitch for the climax.
Though he succeeds in this en-
deavor ?barely?heonce again
goes into a downhill run by uti-
lizing a deus ex machina to save
the main characters ami ends
toe book with a warning note.
Kck n tz'siather figurein the
story? Mr. Murder himself?
is a mystery writer who delves
into thedarknessof humankind,
but always shows that life and
loVf can win out It wouletseem
that Koontz is trying to answer
someofhisownquestionsabout
life through this book and its
characters,butfocusesto0tnuch
onthewhysand wherefores and
not enough on the essentia Is.
Where Stephen King suc-
ceeded in giving insight into an
author's mtodn'nK Dark Half,
Koontz only succeeds in alter-
natilyboringand fascinating the
readef. Kingfocused on the of-
ten dual nature of writers.where
Koontz Wants to ex plorethe per-
sonal life $i feelings of his ca-
reer. Though both authors are
excellent in their craft. King ap-
pears to have done a better job.
U the reader can plod
through the slow parts of Mr.
Murder without giving ip, the
time is worth it. Koontz shows a
defttouchand keenevefoirdetail
in Iris action scenes, a high under-
standing of human nature and
emotions, and has a finger on the
button of what makes the pulse
beat faster. Focus on these essen-
tials, ignore the stabs at psychol-
ogy, and Mr. Murder proves to be
another notch on Koontz's belt.

Dahli Llama, Follow For Now hit Attic
Slow-to-warm crowd dampens solid performances
By Daniel Willis
Photo courtesy of Earie Records
Local favorites Dahli Llama opened for Follow For Now on Thursday at
the Attic and suffered the effects of a sparse, early night crowd.
Staff Writer
Tara Busch, the lead singer for
Dahli Llama, said before her show
last Thursday at the Attic "We always
look forward to coming toGreenville;
people are very respondent toward us
there
Afterthisshow,heropinionmight
have changed slightlv. Dahli Lama
stepped on stage at 11:05 p.m.?the
time the crowd was just getting situ-
ated, and most of the people hadn't
arrived yet. But they were forced to
plav, because they had to be off the
stage by 1200.
They started playing their ver-
sion of methodical, hard-driving mu-
sic that Busch calls, "Low end, heavy,
passionate music. A lot of soul and a
lot of depth
But hardly anybody even ac-
knowledged they were playing. No-
body approached the stage, and no-
body even walked on the floor within
20 feet from the front of the stage.
Between sets Busch and guitar-
ists Bill Kirch hassled the crowd while
they promoted their new CD Quarter
Til Euphoria. Thefew people whoeven-
tually did approach thestagereceived
CDs. Thev stopped plaving at about
11:50.
After the show Busch seemed to
understand the whole situation. She
sard, "I understand we're an opening
band. It's a cold night, it's early, and
everybody's pretty sober. I felt like I
really gave the crowd a hard time.
Usually I work the audience a lot
better than that, but every show's a
stepping stone
Follow For Now waited a little
longer than usual while the better
part of thecrovvd filed in. They started
playing at about 12:20a.m. By that
time the people were crowding the
stage.
Follow plays an interesting
brand of music. It's a hard-core ver-
sion of alternative funk with slight
blues influences, comparable to a
band like the Veldt.
Follow For Now played for
about an hour and a half, and the
crowd gradually became more re-
ceptive. Bvabout 1:30 thecrowd was
show ing a lot more enthusiasm .Fol-
low For Now started plaving in-
creasingly faster in order to give the
crowd an interesting excuse for a
mosh pit.
The show reached its climax
during the last encore. The lead singer
came out playing a slow spacy
rhvthm and said, "It was the era of
the BeeGees, the era of K.C. and the
Sunshine Band, rheera of Bob Marley
and the Wailers After mentioning
all kinds of groups from the '70s,

riffs which extended for about 10

Western wean It's not just for farm hands anymore
DENVER (AP) ? Snug jeans,
well-fitted boots, a brightly colored
shirt with bold strips and wide-
brimmed, black hat.
Its a cowboy for sure.
Or is it?
Western clothing, a fashion once
favored mainly by ranch hands, ro-
deo performers and people who
make their living from the earth, is
more popular than ever in main-
stream America.
"Western wear has been trend-
ing wary steadily upw ird for about
three years saysjuliet Wright, vice
president of merchand ising for Den-
ver-based Miller Stockman.
"Country dancing and country-
music has never been more popular
than it is now, and they are driving
the market. Western wear is being
perceived less as costume dressing
and more as weekend casual wear
Single articles of Western cloth-
ing, she adds, also are worn as ac-
cents to other types of clothing.
Jack Weil, whose family has op-
erated Rockmount Ranch Wear
STRUTTER
Manufacturing Co. here for almost
50 years, estimates that Western
clothing holds a 3 percent to 7 per-
cent share of the nation's huge gar-
ment industry.
"As it becomes fashion, it will
surge but,actually,it is a very small
part of the scheme of things he
says.
Wright savs the Western cloth-
ing market actually is divided into
two segments: core, for the honest-
to-goodnesscowboy or rancher, and
crossover, for fans who are reluc-
tant to go all the way, want to con-
serve money, or whojustdon't know
what to wear and how to wear it.
Crossover customers, Wright
says, include those who "don't nec-
essarily have a farming or ranching
background, but enjoy wearing
Western clothing becauseof its qual-
ity, fit and the way it looks
Here's how Wright describes
the market:
?Boots. The core market pre-
fers the roper style with low heels,
round toe and short top. Core cus-
Continued from page 9
tomers also spend hundreds of dol-
lars on custom-made footwear.
Crossovercustomers usually prefer
more modestly priced boots and
often select what she described as
"soft, touchv-feelv" leathers with
pointed toes.
?Jeans. The core market favors
high-backed jeans which evoked
from the styles designed by Holly-
wood tailor Rodeo Ben in the 1940s
with input of rodeo cowboys Jim
Shoulders, Freckles Brown and oth-
ers. Rodeo Ben, by the way, gener-
ally iscreclited with shifting the zip-
per from the side of women's jeans
to the front.
?Shirts. Colorful shirts of wide,
vertical: tripe with buttons are hot
with core customers. Earth tones or
jewel tones will become more popu-
larnextvear, Wright predicts. Snaps,
which Weil credits his father with
introducing to cowboy clothing, are
KESSLER

?Hats. A fur felt hat with 4-
inch brim, price range S130-$150, is
the core customer's choice. Black, of
course. Crossover customers will
select a less-expensive hat, some-

There's not a lot of debate on
how the whole thing started.
Drovers ? many of them Civil
War veterans still in cavalry boots,
campaign hats and vestiges of uni-

riding boots and the twinkling of
silver and tooled leather.
Western style was honed by
Tom Mix, the cowboy actor, who
favored high-heeled boots, bib shirts
and high-crowned, wide-brimmed
hats.
When Mix died in the wreck of
his Cord roadster on Oct. 12, 1940,

Despite the influence of Gene

shift to the rodeo arena.
Today's Western fashion state-
ments not only come from rodeo

of country music performers whose
trademark can be the way a hat is
creased.

says his firm even has a 1; ne of cross-

Strutter finished their set with

the drunken crowd exhausted. Then,
just to make sure they pushed things
completely over the top, they did a
one-song encore of something un-
recognizable. It was one of those
songs about rock 'n' roll, and it was
prettv forgettable. Strutter simply
stayed on stage too long.
Seeing Strutter is like taking a
dip in a particularly embarrassing
shared-gene pool; it's like celebrat-
ing the death of Neanderthal man.
Every person in the audience knew
every song by heart. Some of them,
were laughing, wallowing in some
goofy relic of childhood. Others (the
scary ones) were taking it all seri-
ously. These were the true KISS fans,

Tower
overshadows
fiction
(AP)-Tower of Secrets (Naval
Institute Press, S24.95) is a breath-
taking real-life spy thriller that
tells of the disillusionment and
defection of a high-ranking So-
viet intelligence officer and his
family.
The tower of the title refers
to the overwhelmingly powerful
Committee for State Security of
the Soviet Union, the vaunted
KGB. There, author Victor
Sheymov was steadily advanc-
ing his career as chief trouble-
shooter, in charge of the KGB's
worldwide network of ciphered
communications.
Carefully investigated and
trained by the Communist appa-
ratus, coming from a prestigious
and politically clean family,
Sheymov could have followed
the role many took within the
Soviet Union: strict obedience to
party directives, enjoyment of
privileges, blindness to the sup-
pression of elementary human
values.
But a number of factors
gradually turned him away from
becoming an unconditional ser-
vant of an evil regime: the moral
standards of his father, an old
military figure who sought to
serve Russia rather than theCom-
munist Party; the deaths, perpe-
trated bv the KGB, of people close
to Sheymov; the discovery that
members of his wife's family had
been eliminated solely to intimi-
date others; and the political in-
doctrination of his 3-year-old
daughter at her KGB kindergar-
ten class.
Sheymov and his wife, Olga,
decided to defect. Theauthor tells
the story in the third person, an
interesting technique that works
well because it removes him
somewhat from the literary fore-
ground.
This true story is far more
exciting than the most accom-
plished spy fiction. Toicer of Se-
crets is a towering book, fascinat-
ing and hair-raising, told
smoothly and without hyperbole.

An injury-riddled 49er squad
ventured into Minges Coliseum
on Saturday night and came away
with a hard-fought 74-65 victory
against the Lady Pirates.
The I ady Pirate defense was
excellent, forcing UNC-C to turn
the ball over 31 times during the
course of the game. However, the
offense had problemsconverting,
and only scored five points off of
the 49er turnovers. Meanwhile,
UNC-C scored 14 points off of 23
ECU turnovers, and that was the
difference in the ball game.
The 49ers played relentless
full-court defense all night long,
trying to get the Lady Pirates to
rush their passes and shots. ECU,
though, was hot early and played
smar t. They used their team quick-
ness to penetrate through the press
and tooka 11-6 firsthalf lead when
point guard Danielle
Charlesworth popped a three-
pointer with 12.53 remaining,
causing UNC-C to take a time out
to regroup.
After the time out, UNC-C
looked like a completely different
squad, and took the lead and mo-
mentum away from the Lady Pi-
rates. The 49er size advantage be-
came very distinct and obvious, as
they dominated the offensive
boards, getting repea ted shots un-
derneath the basket from 6-foot-3
center Charlette Hargrove and 5-
foot-lOforwardCharleneReid. Af-
ter beingdownby 10 with 2:121eft,
the Lady Pirates stormed back and
went into the locker room down
by only three, at 32-29.
At the half, ECU was led in
sconngbyDanielleCharlesworth,
with nine points, and "Fruky"
Blackmon, who had eight. UNC-
C was led by their "Triple Tow-
ers Hargrove, Reid, and 6-3
senior Heather Hart, who com-
bined in 7-10 shooting for 20
first half points.
EastCarolinaonceagain re-
linquished control of the boards,
opting for more outside shoot-
ing. Shooting improved, but all
ECU could do was nibble away
at the lead before slipping back
again. The closest that the Lady
Pirates could get was with 11:04
remaining, Charlesworth hit her
third three-point basket of the
game, pulling ECU within three
points of the lead.
Within a 16 second period,
both Charlette Hargrove and 6-
foot-4 juniorTiszara Kelly fouled
out of the game for the49ers,but
the damage was already done.

Lyons takes CAA by storm

Sports Editor
ECU guard Lester Lyons has
the Pirates out running and gun-
ning this year. The quiet off the
court senior has helped the Bucs
improve from last season, but his
real challenge lies just ahead of
him.
The Pirates jumped out of the
gate earlier this year, but lately
the Pirates have struggled, espe-
cially on the road (1-6). Lastweek
the Pirates dropped away games
to weaker CAA teams William &
Marv and Richmond. In Minges
ECU is 7-0 behind an encourag-
ing average 4,248 of boistorous
fans.
"We need a win right now
because we don't want to turn a
great beginning into a sorry fin-
ish. We want to try our maintain
our beginning
The Pirates were currently
tied for fourth in the divison (2-3,
10-6). Lyons is helping the Pirates
improve on their overall 6-8
record on this date last year. This
is Lyons last year here at ECU,
and he is determined to make it is
best.
"Right now we are doing one
of the things we wanted to do,
we're having a winning season.
Last year we had a strong finish
and this year we are having a
prettv good start. That's one of
the things we needed to have to
finish up the way we wanted to
finish as seniors. We had a pretty
good finish last year, but this year
we wanted to have a winning
record and so far we are succeed-
ing
When things are not alwavs
going well, Lyons likes to keep
things loose around the hardcourt.
Earlier this year during the Lady
Pirate team photos, Lester jumped
up behind the camera and pre-
tended to throw a basketball at
them. All the players laughed and
jumped back just before their pic-
ture was taken.
He was named pre-season
MVP by the press on Media Day
in Richmond and although he has
not won any weekly MVP, he still
has to be considered as one of the
CAA's best.
"It all boilsdown to how your
team plays at the end of the year
and what you do doing the course
of the year. Right now I think I'm
doing the things that are helping
our team win. The MVP of the
conference is really just an award
for an overachiever. I think that
is our team succeeds, I succeed
While Lyons is the focal point
i f the backcourt, this year he has
had some quality support from
guards Kareem Richardson and
two surprising freshmen, Skipp
Schaefbauer and Tim Basham.
Richardson, the starting point
guard, is averaging eight points
an'd four assists a game.
Schaefbauer and Basham have
combined for 11 points coming
off the bench.
This weekcould spell out the
rest of the regular season for the
Pirates in theC A A. The Bucs have
home dates with leader James
Madison on Wednesday and sec-
ond-place UNC-Wilmington on
Saturday.
"We haven't lost at home and
now it's like a test of our wills.
Are we going to be the team that
defeats Madison and Wilmington
at home back to back, or are we
going to be the team that keeps
our home record safe by not los-

New rules affect play
By Ashley Neal
Staff Writer
"My fear is that it is going to
be ,m uglier game than it hasbeen
in the past Eddie Payne, ECU's
head basketball coach, said.
This was the forecast Payne
gave last November when pre-
dicting the new 35-second shot
clock and deletion of the 5-second
rule.
Prior to the '9394 season, 45
seconds was the allotted amount
of time players had to shoot the
ball. In addition to knocking 10
seconds oft the shot clock, the
NCAA abolished the 5-second
rule. This rule required a player,
dribbling or not, toeither pass the
ball or break an imaginary 6-toot
plane between the possessor and
defender within five seconds.
The NCAA altered the rules
this season in an attempt to speed
up the game and create more ac-
tion. In the NBA, a 2Jsecond -hot
clock is used to allow a lot more
shots to be taken, thus leading to
higher scoring games. Last fall,
when thechange was announced,
several coaches expressed oppos
ing views to whether the new rule
would help or hinder player and
team performance.
GMU head coach Paul
Westhead stated that the new
alterations in college basketball
rules and regulations would
place more control in the play-
ers' hand and give officials less.
On the other hand, Coach Payne
was a representative of coaches
who felt the amendments may
cause more turnovers and un-
necessary aggression on the
court. Opposition between these
two coaches was synonymous
of the division among CAA
coaches concerning their views
of the changes being made and
how the new rules could affect
this season.
" I didn't like it Payne said.
"I thought we had a good game
with the 45-second clock
Payne says he and other
coaches were caught off-guard
because their opinions were not
consulted, and there was no ex-
perimentation before changing
the rule.
PUyefS are aware of the
clock, but do not focus on it dur-

With 15 seconds left, ECU
pulled within seven when fresh-
man guard Justine Allpress hit her
only attempt of the game, a thirty-
foot three pointer, exciting her team
and the Minges crowd.
ECU was led in scoring by
Blackmon's 5-8 shooting for 15
points, followed closely by Danielle
Charlesworth's 14, who was 3-6 in
three-point attempts.
Although the 1 ad v I 'i rates lost
the game, a lot was to be learned
from the experience They, as a
team, had to alter then came play
to overcome the height disadvan-
tage placed on them by UNC-C,
and react accordingly. For such a

maturely as they did,it shows that
they are learning to play together
and could soon find a new home

ing at home. We have to win at
least one these games at home
Lyons is not new to eastern
North Carolina. He is from
Lewiston, N.C and went to Bertie
High School. Lyons started roam-
ing around that Bertie gym when
he was about five years old. His
mother was a coach at the school,
and he would always be around a
basketball. The game sort of grew
on him. He gives a lot of credit for
his success to his mom and he says
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 years,
you might think of Lester Lyons
as a real outgoing guy because he
is a quality player. Off the court,
Lyons goes through a change.
"I'm just one of those real quiet
off-the-scene guys. 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 myself a lot when I'm not
with the guys
Lyons is a hard, dedicated
worker and he has proven that.
Prior to the season, he called a
team meeting to discuss the plans
and future for this present season.
Head coach Eddie Payne learned
of this and was very impressed.
He said that this was the first time
that he had heard of a player do-
ing this.
"Lester works really hard
Payne 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 enjoy some good
old music. He calls himself a mu-
sic man. He enjoys all types, but
he has his favorites. He enjoys
slow jams with Silk and listens to
rappers MC Lyte and Queen
Latifah. He will also get comfort-
able to the tunes of "The Great"
Bob Marley.
"I grew up as an only child,
and I played and did everything
by myself Lyons said. "I used to
use the radio as a toy and it really
got me into music
Back on the court, Lyons 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. Lyons enjoys
hitting the outside jumper and is
fourth in career three-point field
goal percentage.
?Lyons is also a hit with his
schoolwork. He took advanced
courses all through his time at
Bertie and graduated in the top 15
percent of his class. He is now
majoring in construction manage-
ment and hopes to graduate this
summer. If there is no more bas-
ketball after college, he would like
to manage or supervise a construc-
tion company.
"If I do the things I am sup-
posed to do this year, and have a
good strong year, and we do some-
thing team-wise, I 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
MILES
on responsibility.
"It was real difficult for me
Lyons said. "I had a lot of adjust-
ing to do. It was a lifetime expe-
rience. I had thoughts about go-
ing home after my freshman
year
People do not just mature off
the court, but on the court as well.
The past two seasons Lyons has
averaged 15.5 points per game
and 2.7 assists. This year so far he
is averaging 17.3 points per game,
which is fifth in the division. He
also ranks fifth in three point field
goal percentage, .414. Lyons went
through a long learning process
since he first came to ECU.
"Personally I think I've ma-
tured and played more under
control, learning the system and
knowing what it takes to go out
and win a ball game Lyons said,
"Early in my 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. The coach asked me to do a
lot more things for the team and
I understand my role
A team will also look to lead-
ers, especially the seniors. Some
greats have led by example, like
baseball great Pete Rose, and
some lead vocally, like NBA star
Charles Barkley.
"A team is going to always
need a leader Lester added. "I
think I do a lot more leading ac-
tively than vocally
Last year, the ECU team

ment led by Lyons.

meets Miles' track potential was
realized when he competed in and
won the state championship for the
100 and 200-meter dash at the end of
his junior season.
Bill Carson, ECU's men's track
coach, saw in Miles, "a strong runner

It has moved from 22nd to 13th
in the nation's power rankings as a

the talent level of the CAA's players
has risen. The average heights and
weights of the players has risen, too.
Lefty Driesell, who coached
Maryland until the death of Len Bias,
and the addition of George Mason
University's Paul Westhead has
helped bring legitimacy tea youthful
core of talent CAA coaches.
Driesell has taken his James
Madison Dukes to the first-place, or
share of first place, four years in a
row, and this year is no different.
JMU is currently undefeated in the

and was CAA player of the week in

for the team.
The fiery Westhead has installed
his fast-break offense at GMU and
has not been successful so far in the
CAA. They are just (l-4)in the confer-
ence.
Curtis McCants leads all CAA
freshmen in scoring with 14.7 points
per game and had a career high 29
against ODU. His high school career
highs are 51 points, 14 rebounds and
19 assists, and he was named last
year's Gatorade High School Player
of the Year in Rhode Island. He has
moved himself into a starting role
already. Sophomore guard Troy

birds have gone from 11-7, coach

Sherif FJ-Sanadily is second in the
