"Our goal is to provide the best health care available for he lowestcost'saidKayVannortwick, director of ECU Student Health Services. "We also want to provide diversity in our services we want students to come in here for other thansimple problems she added. So what exactly does Student Health treat? Anything from emo- tional problems and common non- emergency illnesses to pregnancy testing and allergy shots. Most health care for students is free of charge. Vannortwick ex- plained that students are only charged in order to cover the university's cost of the service they are receiving; no profit is made. Fl u shots and X-rays would run a stu- dent $5 - $15 dollars at the health center, whereas in a normal doctor's office such services could cost two or three times as much. Medical costs included in tu- ition are presently $130 dollars. Vannortwick explained that the money mainly pays for personnel costs. In comparison to other UNC schools, ECU's medical costs fall within the median. Students at North Carolina State University pay $126 in medi- cal fees, while UNC-Chapel Hill students pay $222. ECU senior Deborah Booth feels Student Health "does a won- derful job providing ECU students with the services they need u "As for having to pay for pre- scriptions, it doesn't really please me, but i t's cheaper than drug store costs she added. "I think that medical costs should be included in our tu- ���mmimmbb ition Stu- dent Health operates like a family out- patient clinic.

"I wasn't aware of how the Urgent Care system worked; there- fore, I wasn't able to take advan- tage of it when I needed it said freshman Katherine Budrow. Many times students who call in are not sure if they need Urgent Care or a regular appoint- ment, explained Willette Darder, appointment operator. She also said that with only one operator, it is difficult for stu- dents to get through, because the line is often busy. Now another operator and phone line have been added, as well as another nurse. Vannortwick explained that when problems arise, the center's staff tries to find quick solutions, and when they see that there is a need for something, they will try to meet that need as best as they can. Jolene Jemagan, nurse practi- tioner and clinical coordinator, feels tha t having a nurse on a phone line was a very positive addition to the center. "Any thing that helps facili- ta te students moving through the system more quickly is a good thing she said. Many problems still exist within the Student Health Ser- vices system, however, accord- ing to some students. "Every time I try to get an appointment there is never any- thing availablesaid freshman Katherine Budrow. "Last week I had to go to a private practice doctor in Greenville and pay $65 dollars to get help, because I couldn't be seen at Student Health The problem of getting stu- dents through the system quickly does not arise from lack of staff members, Vannortwick said.

Small is the first ECU student to receive a fellowship from the Fel- lowship Program in Academic Medicine for Minority Students, sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. In her fourth year of medical school, Small learned a lot from the program and encourages other medical students to apply for the grant. The Commonwealth Fund, a national philanthropy, estab- lished the Fellowship Program in Academic Medicine for Minority Students in 1983 to encourage gifted minorities to prepare for careers in academic medicine and biomedical research. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company has given close to$l million since 1990. Thisyear's $350,000 grant funds 35 fellow- ships of $6,000 each and sponsors the scientific symposium. The Fellowship Program tries to increase the number of Af- rican-Americans, Mexican-Ameri- cans, mainland Puerto Ricans and Native Americans on the United States' medical school faculties and in biomedical research laborato- ries. Over 200 minority students have participated in the program. Small said that students in- terested in the fellowship must apply during November of the year prior to the year they do their re- search. They must submit a pro- posal expressing interest in their given project by January, and ac- tually begin their research during May or June. Mid-way through the projects, fellows must prepare an abstract of their findings and the nature of their work. Finally, they present their research during a symposium held the following year for fellows and their mentors. "The experience was invalu- able Small said. "It was scary initially, but now that I've done it, I feel more experienced and confi- dent. I went through the process of writing a grant and preparing an abstract, and then presenting my work. I can apply this experience to anything I do in the medical field Biomedical scientists in ma- jor biomedical research laborato- ries mentor the fellows for eight to 12 weeks as they work on specific research projects. The fellows then present their research at an annual symposium. Small's project was on the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and regulation of glucose transporter MPNA gene expression. Basically, her research has applications for wound healing. TNF is released during infections and fol lowing an injury. The lab where Small con- ducted her research found tha t TNF causes the cells that repair wounds (fibro blasts) to increase the amount of glucose they use. She also re- searched what mechanism was involved in the increase in glucose usage. "The project was frustrat- ing at times, but there was a very See MED STUDENT page 3 By Phebe Toler Staff Writer As Rodney Dangerfield might say, they get no respect. Vested with full law enforcement powers and responsibilities, ECU's campus police have all the authority of the Greenville Po- lice Department. Yetstudents frequently con- sider them glorified security guards. Similar to those in a small city or county, ECU police offic- ers have jurisdiction over all uni- versity property and adjacent streets. They take their jobs seri- ously just like Greenville city po- lice, and their main concern is the safety and well-being of ECU stu- dents and faculty. "Those guys are clowns said Scott Wagner, a senior Com- munications major. "All they do is give out parking tickets Wagner's attitude reflects that of many students. Many mis- conceptions exist as to the actual roles of campus police. For one, they are not responsible for issu- ing parking tickets. "We have very little to do with parking violations one pa- trol officer said. "That task is handled by the reserve officers over at the parking and traffic division Sophomore Christine Behan mockingly refers to campus police as "keystone cops" and admits that she is not sure whether they go through legitimate police training. A university pamphlet on campus security and safety states that "all sworn officers receive identical training and certification as other North Carolina police officers It also says that they obtain ad- ditional training in first aid, CPR, firearms, defensive tac- tics and communication skills continuously to better handle See SAFETY page 4 ECU's jazz ensemble records first CD By Shannon Cooper Staff Writer For those with a taste for big band swing or contempo- rary jazz, ECU's Jazz Ensemble's new compact disc. Jazz Directions One may come as a pleasant surprise. azz Directions One, re- corded in April of '93, was di- rected by Carroll V. Dashiell, head of the ECU School of Mu- sic Jazz Program. Dashijill is not new to the recording business. He main- tains an active performance and recording schedule of his own. Dashiell is also a nationally rec- ognized bassist, composerar- ranger and director. Recorded on the campus of ECU, Jazz Directions One in- cludes works by Count Basie, George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael, Benny Golson and the Yellow Jackets. "One of the concepts we have with the jazz program is versatility and diversity Dashiell said. "We like to say that we do music from Duke Ellington to Michael Jackson Amp ig the contemporary compositions included on the CD is the popular tune, "Beauty and the Beast "At the time we recorded, one of the hot tunes on the com- mercial circuit was the Beauty and the Beast theme which is also a lighter jazz Dashiell said. "We wanted to do some heavy jazz along with some lighter jazz One of the first obstacles the jazz ensemble undertook was transforming their prac- tice room 101 into studio 101. "I think the CD was good considering the circum- stances said Bruce Erickson, a member of the ensemble's horn section. "We didn't record in an actual studio, but I'm satisfied with it Jazz Directions One was an interdepartmental effort. Many of the compositions in- corporated the faculty vocal department, string depart- ment and the jazz combo.

This charity fund-raiser begins at 6 p.m in Minges Coliseum on Mar. 8. The PittCounty Health Edu- cation Foundation (PCHEF), a non-profit charitable organiza- tion, is sponsoring this year's match-up between the med icators and the litigators. Founded in 1985, the PCHEF strives to im- prove the health status for Pitt County citizens. "The idea isn't new said Kymberly Arana, coordinator of the event. "Several other commu- nities have been successful We just incorporated on the idea The physicians were victo- rious in last year's game, but Pitt County's homeless were the real winners. Over $40,000 was raised, mainly from private donations, to benefit homeless shelters and or- ganizations in Greenville. This year, PCHEF is hoping to raise $50,000, Arana said. "The Health Education Board decides what area of need they want to address said Arana. "This year we are addressing children's needs Two games will be played, one for the male physicians and attorneys, and one for the females. Each game will be highlighted by cheerleaders in the professions. Last year, male cheerleaders for the medicators, the sweet thangs, featured Tahitian-style dresses, said Arana.

Rosenberg also said that the Fellows Program advances the quality of education and broad- ens educational opportunities for students. Bristol-Myers Squibb is strongly oriented tow aid research and is committed to supporting programs like this. Small received her under- graduate degree from Brown Uni- versity in Providence, R.

She taught family gar- dening and nutrition, primarily to women and poor communities, as well as a course in environmental science. When she was ready to at- tend medical school. Small chose ECU because it was one of the few schools with a mission that states its com mi tment to training minor- ity physicians and helping medi- cally under-served communities. ihe school's commitment to mi nority students is also consistent with the Fellowship Program's commitment to minority students.

CdleRtHie'd 2)cuj: xMt'� jitll 0 Be-ljeaRea gocmiieaa Valentine's Day. The most bizarre holi- day ever. It ranks right up there with Easter, which celebrates the death of someone, and it's more bizarre than New Year's Eve, which is really just an excuse to get drunk. Valentine's Day serves much the same purpose � as an excuse to buy cards, flowers and chocolates (something the greeting card industry, the flo- rists and the confectioners just looove). Love. The really ironic thing about St. Valentine's Day (it's official name) is that it is thought to commemorate the execution of two Roman priests who lived in the third century. Two beheaded priests. Now, in their honor, we give long stemmed roses and Fanny Farmer candies. Nope. Sorry � that just isn't a plau- sible reason to celebrate romantic love. It is possible that the holiday comes from the Feb 15th celebration in ancient Rome, known as Lupercalia. This festival celebrated the pastoral god Lupercus, a fertility god. Or Valentine's Day may even come from the prac- tice in medieval times of sending love letters on the second fortnight of the second month, since it was a belief that birds began to mate at that time. Any way you look at it (two Roman beheadings, fertility rites or bird matings), the goofy, romantic ideal that we cherish Valentine's Day to be, has no significance to the history that lies behind the day. So there seems to be a messy, patchwork of justifications for celebrating this holiday, but no substanial reason for doing it. In true profit-making, capitalistic form, America has turned this supposed holiday into a tool. And they (the same greeting card people, florists and confectioners) do it through guilt. If you don't participate, they make you feel like you are the most worthless, selfish, loveless jerk on the planet. And if you happen to be an independant, perf ectly-happy-you-don' t-have- a-mate kind of a person, you're a bigger loser, because you should. Just so you can buy cards (and flowers and chocolates). But they don't stop there. If you're not in a relationship, there are cards to be bought for your mom, dad, grandmother, cousin, sister, mailman Come on! Somehow, the day that has been ingrained in our psyche to signify romantic love cannot be substituted with valen- tines to mom and pop. Patronizing? You bet. Even if vou're in a relationship, it isn't any better. Here, vou are cornered by duty to your significant other. Talk about mind games�just what is expected of the other can erupt into numerous yelling matches, crying fits and cold silences, if the errant lover happens to forget this precious holiday. There's where the loser stands � the one who puts so much significance on this holiday that represents love, and retaliates with selfishness and snobbishness. Besides, love should be central in a relationship all year round. Not just in a stinkin' holiday. It's just plain aggravating. And who needs it? Kissy-kissy actions on one day of the year just because it happens to be that day is pretty ridiculous. Maybe we should all rethink this holiday. Don't let marketing people and adver- tisers decide when you should express your feelings. This includes Father's Day, Mother's Day and Secretaries Day. Besides, roses just die in a few days anyway. By John P. Adams ATF raided peaceful Branch Davidian families The trial for the nine surviv- ing Branch Davidian cult mem- bers began a few weeks ago. Basi- cally the government has no case against the nine surviving cult members. However, even though they will lose the trial, it will still serve their pur- gggB poses. As any true Orwellian knows, if you can success- fully accuse your victims of crimes which you yourself are guilty of, then you absolve yourself of these crimes. More than a year later there are still two questions which re- main unanswered. Why did the Federal Bureauof Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms lay siege upon a peaceful group of families? And why did the ATF and the Federal Bureau of Investigations try to end the standoff the way they did? The ATF on Sunday Feb. 28, 1993, went to the Branch Davidian compound in order to arrest David Koresh on weapons charges and to search the com- pound for other aJlegationsof mis- conduct by cult members. Making no attempt to identify themselves, the ATF raided the compound and were met with heavy resistance. David Koresh, as recently as three days before the raid went into Waco by himself. Why didn't the ATF take this opportunity to arrest Koresh? With Koresh incus- tody, my guess is tha t the cult mem- bers would have submitted to a peaceful search of their facilities. Even if they put up resistance, it probably wouldn' t ha ve been any- where near as ferocious or deter- mined without their leader. I think the reason the ATF waited was purely political. If you recall, the AIT had been severely criticized by the media in the months rightbeforethecompoundraid.They had been receiving a lot of bad pub- licity due to sexual harassment and racial discrimination charges. I think wmmmmmmmmmm the ATF wanted to stif I would be willing to bet that about 95 percent of the households in this country possess chemicals which, if combined, could create explosives. up some good PR for them- selves. Since when do you inform the media and in- vite them to attend an un- �,�� dertaking of thismagnitude?TheATFwas grand- standing. They thought they could go into thecompound, arrest Koresh, seize some weapons and be big he- roes for a day. Instead, two hours after they started, 4 agjnts were killed, 6 Branch Davidians (includ- ingababy) were killed and the stand- off had begun. Some of the allegations lev- eled against the cult members are just plain ridiculous. The ATF al- leged thattheBranchDavidiariswere guilty of sexual and physical abuse to minors. This allegation was being used profusely by every major me- dia outlet. However, of the 17 chil- dren (ranging from 3 to 12 years of age) who got out of the compound alive, not one has indicated any sort of sexual or physical abuse. Another ridiculous allegation leveled against thecult members was tha t they were in possession of chemi- cals which, if combined, could create explosives. I would be willing to bet that about 95 percentof the house- holds in this country possess chemi- cals which, if combined,could create explosives.

I hope you all will agree with me that thepossessionof these materialsdoes notconstituteaviolationofany law. However, removal of these materi- als I believe would be in gross viola- tion of the First and Fourth Amend- ments. Yet, this is what the ATF wanted to do. In order to answer the second question, I think again we must look at political motives. After 51 days, the standoff was becoming a major embarassment for the ATF, FBI Janet Reno and the justice department, and even the President. Theone thing the Branch Davidians didn't count on was the repercussions of making all these people look bad. Public opinion was beginning toturnagainstthe ATF inspiteof the concerted propaganda campaign of the media and the government. I believe this was their true motive for the final assault against the Branch Davidians. They could have outwaited the cult members. Yes, it was expensive keeping the compound surrounded, but the cost of lives lost far outweighs any monetary expense. The fact remains that Janet Reno approved the ATF FBI plan to raid the compound and she should be held solely respon- sible for the deaths of all the cult members. Everyone jokes about how the government screws everything up, but when they start attacking their own people, the word "despotism" immediately comes to mind. Every phase of our government is out of control and the ATF raid on the Branch Davidian compound is an event that history may well remem- ber as the beginning of a new period in American government � a pe- riod in which individual rights are continuously under assault and eventually eradicated. By Laura Wright Football teamwork, tasteless beer commercials At one point during my night class the other evening, theconver- sation turned to the subject of foot- ball. I always get uncomfortable when people start talking about football because I know absolutely nothing about the subject. Call me un-American, call me inhuman (call me un-ECU), but I have never cared about football. I used to go to games when I was in high school, but I never actually watched. At that time, everything was a social event and I was more interested in socializing than in watching a game that I didn't un- derstand. I had a really bad attitude about football and couldn't figure cut what people like about watch- ing men enact violence upon one another. I used to roll my eyes when friends of mine got defensive about their favorite teams and when they went crazy over home runs (I'm only kidding. I mean touchdowns, of course). Just recently, I found some- thing valuable in football. I still don't like watching the game, but I now realize that there is something positive about people working to- gether as a team in order to accom- plish a specific goal. Men get this sort of training from the time that they are children. Male children are encouraged to play team sports, like football, and they are encour- aged to work together and to be agressive in competition. Female children, while they are sometimes encouraged to participate in team sports, also participate in individu- ally competitive sports like gym- nastics. They learn to compete with one another and are discouraged from overtly aggressive behavior. Let me redirect. A friend pointed out to me that she was really sick of hearing her female friends criticize other women. I got to thinking about the way women take inventory of one another, be- come jealous of one another and stab one another in the back, and I decided that the negativity comes from a learned notion of appropri- ate female competition. While men are taught to compete as a team, women are taught to compete with one another�often for men. Before I start to sound like a psychology experiment gone hay- wire, let me say that I don't mean to imply that we're all bitches or that we can't get along with one an- other because we can and very of- ten do, we just need to learn how to support each other's achievements rather than be jealous of them. Oth- erwise, we remain divided and, therefore, conquered. We need to actively participate rather than stand on the sidelines and cheer. (Now I sound like a pep rally, but sports analogies seem to work well in discussions of human be- havior�ever refered to sex as a "home run?") Speaking of cheerleading, remember a few years ago when the mother of a high school cheerleader attempted to have another cheerleader murdered ? How about this thing with Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding? If we observe the way competition functions when there is no sense of teamwork, we see its potential danger. Anyway, in light of learn- ing skills that are necessary to function in the business world, to compromise and work with others, I have begun to see some value in football and the mili- tary because I feel that partici- pants in these institutions learn how to support one another and ; how to work together. But since women have generally been excluded from ' participation in arenas where a - J teamwork ethos is instilled, we � - need to learn to be supportive of one another's actions rather than jealous and critical of them. Back to football, I am a little more tolerant than I used to be, but I still hate the beer commercials that air during football games and I couldn't tell you the name of a single NFL team. The lack of knowlege, though, is not really something that I perceive as a weakness; I hope that you support me in my descision not to be a sports fan Oh yeah, happy" Valentine's Day. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: There's nothing more exciting (or nerve-rackng) about waiting for the outcome of the test you just completed. If we are like the good little androids we should be, then we all scored one-hundred percent on the test. No? You mean we are really human beings with feelings, commitments, and (dare I say it) other respon- sibilities not related with school in any way. so we're not really computers which can be fed data and transfer it back at the proper time with no information lost. Then what good are we? God forbid that you should do something so human as to make a less-than- perf ect grade on a test, because if you do, then you must be faulty in some way and you might as well drop the class or just quit. Sounds a bit harsh doesn't it? Well in our instructions of 'higher' learning, as colleges are often called, if you mess up just once, advisers and instructors encourage you to drop the class. Long dead is the saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again May it rest in peace. You can imagine it came as quite a shock to my system that the lessons from the book The Little Engine That Could were in vain. These so-called higher learning institutions have taught me a thing or two. They have taught me that the 'educators' of this system knowing very little about you or the effort that you put forward, judge your entire performance in a course from one test. Just ONE If this isn't true, then why do almost all in- structors in college have their first exam BEFORE the last drop date? Hmmm? Is the picture coming in clear yet? Suppose you got sick and were unable to go to the doctor, or maybe your young children kept you up all night, or maybe you just had a week wherenothingwentright.Thatshould matter right? WRONG Let's be real and get with the program. This isn't an education system, nor is it a learning institution, it's a testing system where one test can make or break you. Let's not be bashful about it, whether you call it feces or crap, it still stinks. So boys and girls get out your number 2 pencils and open your booklets because the test is about to begin. William White Education To the Editor: In response to your January 17th editorial on Clinton's State of the Union Address, I would like to question where The East Carolinian arrives at the num- ber 38.5 million uninsured Americans. While the issue of health care was being forced into the spotlight, PresidentClin ton enjoyed using thenumber 37 million, yet in his own book, "Putting People First he sights that number at 60 million! Why the change in numbers Mr. President? How did some 23 million people sud- denly get health care? Even the number 37 million is erroneous. In fact, according to the latest CBO study, of those supposed 37 million uninsured Americans 51 percent were uninsured for less then four months, and 72 percent for less then a year! Even the 1990 census agrees that there are less then 10 million "long-term" uninsured Americans. So I am VERY curious as to how The East Carolinian came up with 1.5 million more "uninsured" Ameri- cans than the President of the United States. JohnT.Dillardlll Undeclared � i i : 3 2 Editor's note: Political writer Jill Lawrence cites "38.5 million people without insurance In the Jan. 26 edition of USA Today, Clinton speaks of 58 million Americans that 1 have no coverage at all for some time each year" (in other words, college graduates and those who simply cannot afford insurance).

Valentine gifts sold by School of Art By Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer Everyone has a sweetie or a special someone in his or her life be it known or secret. Now is your chance to show that certain person you appreciate just how much you care! (I'm not talking Hallmark cards) The ECU School of Art will be having their annual Valentines Sale Thursday and Fri- day, Feb. 10 11 from8am-5pm and Saturday, Feb. 12 from 10 am-2 pm. Not only is the sale open to students, but to the whole community so tell all your Greenville friends about it! There are many school organizations in- volved in the sale like Craftsmen East (which includes metals, woods, and textiles), Ceramics Guild, Painting Guild, and De- sign Associates. All of these sepa- rate organizations are joined un- der the Visual Arts Forum which includes the whole art school. I had a chat with Lynn Strucinski, vice president of Craftsmen East, about the Valentine's Day Sale. Strucinski said, "There are two main reasons behind having this Valentine's Sale. First of all, by selling the original items, 20- 30 of the profits will go to the designated guild for that media. That money will pay for new equipment and visiting artists for workshops. The rest of the profits will go to the individual creator of the handcrafted items to pay for art supplies. So both the stu- dents and the organizations ben- efit Strucinski went on to say, "The other reason is to help stu- dents learn to market their work for the so-called, "real world Final remarks? "There's a little bit of something for ev- eryone and at afford- able prices for stu- dents' budgets The Valentines Sale will take place in the main downstairs lobby of the Jenkins Fine Art Center on the ECU campus across from the chancellor's house on Fifth Street. All items for sale are handcrafted by those wonderfully talented ECU School of Art students. Shop- pers can choose from a wide vari- ety of gifts including jewelry, cards, ceramics, scarves, prints, and even foods. The proceeds will go to developing programs of- fered in the school to further art education. The School of Art wel- comes all to come and purchase for that special someone a unique, handcrafted item for Valentine's Day. Travel to London and get class credit By Laura Wright Assistant Lifestyle Editor Students may think that they have the rest of their lives to travel, to get out of the country and to experience othercultures. The truth of the matter is, whether they be- lieve it or not, they will never have as much free time�in the form of breaks and summers off�as they do as a college student. Students can spend a month in London this summer and receive up to four hours of college credit. All that is required is that students are enrolled at ECU and that they have a GPA�it matters not how low. Travelers that partake of this offer will leave from Raleigh on July 1 and return on July 23. Not enough time, you say? A ten-day tour of Europe is optional and al- lows you to leave Raleigh on June 22 and see Paris, Brussells and Amsterdam. And for$50exrra, stu- dents can leave from any city in Europe and stay even longer. In London, students will stay in Kensington Gardens in Hyde Park and can take classes through the University of Richmond. Courses, like Literary London and History of London, will be offered and students can also take classes in English, humanities, social sci- ences, history and performing arts. The British Museum and Library will be accessible to stu- dents and there will be a special focus on the African and Carib- bean populations in London. Stu- dents will be allowed to visit the Africa Center and the Caribbean Market.

The show begins at 7:57 p.m. at "Club 757" in the social room in Mendenhall. The comedian, Troy Thirdgill, is originally from Portland, Ore and he is becom- ing one of the country's hottest new comics. Thirdgill had his first experience on stage at the age of 23 at the world famous Melrose Improv. That evening the owner Budd Friedman booked him on the show "An Evening at the Improv At his appearance on BET's "Comic View the audience re- sponded enthusiastically with a demand for an encore perfor- mance at the end of the show. His vivacity and insight take on life in the '90s and keep audiences yell- ing for more. "We wanted to break from tradition. We are trying to make it fun where people can get together said Michael Preston. Tickets are on sale now at the Central Ticket Office at Mendenhall Student Center.

Like many other suspense stories, Blink bills itself as different from other films becauseof some ingenious plot hook. Theplot contrivance, whichpur- ports to separate Blink from the mul- titude of other potboilers cranked out by HoUyw(X)d each year, con- cerns theblindnessof its lead charac- ter. Emma Brody (MadeleineStowe) wasblindedateightyearsofagedue to trauma to both corneas caused when her mother smashed her face BREAK intoamirroraspunishmentforplay- ing with make-up. Twenty years later Emma gets the opportunity to regain her eye- sight via a COXIiea transplant. At first Emma can see very little, and what she does see sometimes only regis- ters in her brain minutes or hours later. The plot twist, which amounts to not much of a twist at all, comes when Emma catches sight of a mur- derer exiting her building only a few days after her operation. To make the story somewhat more compel- ling, Emma only sees the killer clearly the next day in flashback and even then she doubts whether she could Continued from page 9 pick him out from a police line-up. Part of the appeal of Blink is not just the murder that takes place but also the change that takes place in Emma during the course of the film. Madeleine Stowe manages to make Emma extremely tough yet vul- nerable. She plays a violin and recog- nizes lines from Longfellow yet main- tainsan ironexteriorwhich keeps her fiercely independent. Sparks begin to fly between a detective investigating the case (Aidan Quinn),and Emma is forced to confront feelings of attach- ment to another person. Quinn fills his role with so much tenderness that he is never really con- vincing as a hard-boiled detective. He and Stowe do play nicely off each other though and Quinn's charac- ter brings a little humor to the film. James Remar, as another hard- nosed Chicagodetective,adds great support. Though saddled with a thankless role, Remar emotes as much as the proscenium arch will allow. It vould be great to see him with some bigger, meatier roles in the future. Blink was directed by Michael Apted whobegan his career in Brit- ish television and has prod uced the much acclaimed films 28 Up and 35 Up, which interview a group of people at seven-year intervals be- ginning at age seven.

The cost of the adventure package is $89.95 per student, and equipment is included. Mountainbikingand Whitewater rafting have increased in popularity, especially with younger adults who are seeking new forms of excitement. "Combining the two outdoor activi- ties seemed like the natural thing to do said Ridge Rider, who hardies the biking portion of the adventure. Youdon'tneed any special skills to enjoy this adventure, not even the ability to swim. The raft boats are equipped withCoastGuard approved life vests that are designed to keep even non-swimmers afloat. And the bike tours aregeared towardsall types of riders, from novice to advanced. Mountain River Tours lias been rafting down the New River in Hico, W.V. for over 21 seasons. It isalsoone of the first companies to incorporate both rafting and biking in one pack- age, which is being offered for a third season, has become greatly sought- after. "We are always looking for a new way to enhance a person's out- door adventure said Paul Breuer, the owner of Mountain River Tours. "This will be a great way for students to try something new and realize the many outdoor opportunities the New River Gorge area has to offer "We welcome anyone that has neverdone anything like this before said Stacie Gray, sales director at Mountain River Tours.

She is averaging 1 5 points per game. By Dave Pond Assistant Sports Editor The Lady Pirates were soundh beaten78-49bytheN.C State Wolfpack List night in Minges Coiesium. Once again, ECU played great defense early, but a poor transition game and sloppv shooting were their downfall. East Carolina shot a meager 23 6 percent tor the game, while turning the ball over 16 times to the Lady Pack. On the other hand .C. State shot 51.7 per- cent, and had tour players scor- ing in double figures. The Lady Wolfpack jumped out to a 16-9 lead behind the strom' earlv shooting of Nicole Mitchell, who would finish the game with 12 points on 6-9 shoot- ing. Howe er, with 7:17 remain- ing in the halt, East Carolina tied the game at lb on a Danielle Charlesworth steal and ensuing lav-up, ending a seven-point run. The Lady Pirates would stay within few points of the lead, following up Lady Wolfpack bas- kets from underneath,butlet the lead slip away from them, and found themseh es down 32-22 at the half-time buzzer. ECU was led in scoring by "Frukv" Blackmon, Danielle Charlesworth and Shay Haves, who each scored four points in the half. In the halt, the Lady Pirates shot only 22 percent on 9-of-41 shooting. Charlesworth also added three steals and an assist. N.C. State came out strong behinf the excellent shooting of center Kolleen Kreul. The Ladv 'Pack would in- crease their lead to 13 on another Kreul layup from underneath with 16:29 remaining. Blackmon would match that basket with a lav-up of her own. then Tracy Kelley followed with a 17-foot jumper to pull the Lady Pirates within nine points of the lead at 38-29. With intense full-court pres- sure, N.C. State methodically took control of the game, steadily increasing their lead, and led 53- 35 on a Kreul jumper with 10:13. The Lady Pirates would tem- porarily lose the services of Belinda Cagle, who sat until the 4:57 mark. "She had a badly sprained ankle, and that might have been it said Lady Pirate Head Coach Rosie Thompson. "Plus, we're used to plaving in here when it's cold, we're not used to the heat The punishment was just be- ginning, and the Lady Pirate fans sank slowly into their seats, watching Kolleen Kreul domi- nate on 8-11 second-half shoot- ing.

However, after two days in Gainesville, ECL's baseball team was more than happy to come home, after being swept in a three- game series against the Florida Gators. In the season opener, Florida rallied from being down 2-1 to take the 4-2 victorv behind the strong pitching of Rob Bonanno (1 -0),who went eight innings, allowing two earned runs on just five hits. Danny Wheeler pitched the ninth inning and collected his first save of the season. I thought we played very hard and very aggressive coach Overtonsaid. 'It w as a well played game by both clubs. We just came out on the short end. Lvle Hartgrove (0-1) took the loss tor the Pirates, pitching 713 inningsand givingup three-earned runsand 11 hits. Billy I ayton threw the final 23 inning for ECU. The Pirates were led at the plate bv catcher Chad Triplert, l-fbr-3 v ith a homerun, and center-fielder amieBorel who went l-for-4atthe plate. The second half of the double header also did not go as well. East Carolina jumped out to an earlv three-run lead against Florida starter lohn Kaufman (1-0),scatter- ing nine hits in 2 3 innings against the hurler. Once again, the Pirates failed tohold the lead as L F whittled away at the lead, eventually win- ning the contest 5-4. The lethal blow was dealt by Gator PI 1 fames Eidam, who's two- run double in the eighth inning was more than Coach Overtoil's Gill leads ECU over American (AP)�Anton Gill scored 17and LesterLvonsadded 13 to lead East Carolina Univer- sity to a 73-62 Colonial Ath- letic Association victor over American University on Mon- day. The Pirates improved to 13-8 and 5-4 in conference play, while American fell to 5-16,2-7. After dueling to a 31-31 halftime tie, the Eagles opened the second period by scoring eight ot the first 11 points in- cluding two three-pointers by Christian Ast. From thatpoint, the Pirates posted a 14-0 run culminated by a Chuckie Robinson lay up with 12:44 re- maining to lead 48-38. American weathered the Pirates' barrage of low-post scoring and crawled back into the game switching from a zone to a man-to-man de- fense. When Duane Gilliam hit two free-throws with 3:48 remaining, the Eagles had cut the Pirate lead to 60-58. But the swarming East Carolina defense stymied .American on offense espe- ciallv in the post. The Pirates held the Eagle's usual scoring leader, Tim Fudd, to a sea- son-low eight points. Leading by 62-58 with 3:02 remaining, the Pirates held on, hitting nine of 10 free- throws down the stretch for the win. Ast and Gilliam led the Eagles with 18 each.

Sports world mourns death (AP) � Two days after Livingstone College quarterback Darrell Ardrey died in a head-on collision witha truck,oneofhis friends cannot believe Ardrey is gone. "I called his home in Winston, just so 1 could hear his voice on the answering machine said George Washington, who played football with Ardrev since their sophomore vear in high school. Ardrev, thequarterback who led the Livingstone College Fighting Bears for the past four years, drove to Concord Friday night to meet Wash- ington and others for Barber Scotia College's homecoming party. He drove separately so he could leave earlv Saturday morning and return to his Winston-Salem apart- ment, Washington said. He was killed in a wreck about 7:30 a.m. on U.S. 601 bypass in Con- cord, said Sgt. T.R. Templeton of the Concord Police Department. Ardrey, who was trying to pass inhis 1989 Acura Legend,hita 50,000- pound truck head-on, Templeton said. Wilbert Ben Dow, 48, of High Point, drove the truck owned by Hvdro Conduit Corp. of Thomasville. He was treated and released atCabamis Memorial Hos- pital. Templeton estimated that at impact, the truck driver was travel- ing about 20 mph and Ardrey about 50 mph. 1 he speed limit was 55, but driving conditions were poor, Templeton said. Washington, an of tensive tickle, had blocked for Ardrey since 1987, whenthevueresophomoresatWest CharlotteHigh School. After gradu- ation, they decided to attend Livingstone and play for the Bears.

(AP) � Top- ranked North Carolina must guard against feeling too confident with the return of leading scorer Donald Williams, coach Dean Smith says. "There is a tendency to think we have Williams back and we're back to normal and that could be a real problem said Smith. Williams, sidelined for six games with a slightly separated left shoulder, mav return Thursday night against Maryland. The Tar Heels (19-3) have won six straight since Williams, averag- ing 16.2 points, went down in an 81 - 77 loss at Virginia on Jan. 19. The MVP of last year's Final BASEBALL Four also missed three games in early January with a foot injury. Smith said Williams practiced early in the week for the first time without pain and, if he continues to progress, he could play about 15 minutes � most likely as a reserve � against the Terrapins (12-b). "His conditioning isn't what wewould likeSmithsaid. "1 think it will be slow getting him back in A bigger question is will Will- iams' shooting touch return? He scored just five points in 2 1 2 games after the foot injury. He was averaging 20.5 a game. Williams is the team's top 3- point threat, and opponents have been using sagging defenses with him out of the lineup. But replace- ment Dante Calabria has filled in well, averaging 9.6 points and lead- ing the team with 30 3-pointers. Smith's hardest coaching job now will begetting the playing time for Williams, point guard Derrick Phelps, Calabria and freshman Jeff Mclnnis, who has been playing with more confidence the last month. "The first time Donald came back from the toe injury) Dante felt he didn't play real well, "Smith said. "We'll trv to get him time in any game the rest of the year because he's a very important part of the team Continued from page 13 2-for-2 in the losing effort.

He is consid- ered as a pick for the 1994 pro draft.

Beck will anchor Pirate pitching staff in 94 It has. Johnny Beck's love for base- ball began like most youths. One day his dad By Ashley Neal Staff Writer took him out into a field, gave him a glove and began toss- ing the ball to the younger Beck. That was 15 years ago. Beck has compiled 77 to 80 strikeouts per season for the Pi- rates. He needs just 33 more to become ECU's all-time strikeout leader. Today, Johnny looks at his fi- nal Pirate baseball season with en- thusiasm. Despite his success as a pitcher, Beck realizes certain as- pects of his game could still use improvement. "I have to get it into my head that I can't strike everyone out Beck said. "There are times I need to throw something other than fastballs Aside from the mound, Beck has made another contribution to Pirate Athlet- ics. Beck, dur- ing his sopho- more and jun- ior years, rep- resented the baseball team as a member of ECU's Student Athletic Advi- sory Council. The panel helps athletes stay abreast of alterations and improvements concerning university ath- letics. Origi- nally, offers from Georgia, Vir- ginia and Western Carolina caught Beck's attention during high Johnny Beck allow him to play for a Division I level university close to home. "Honestly, I believe it was best for me to come here Beck said. "I sat down with my dad and we decided it to- gether That conver- sation gave Beck the motivation to play collegiate baseball. Johnny s dad told him to sit down and write three things he wanted to ac- complish in base- ball from that day forward. He told Johnny to make the goals slightly unattain- able because that would make him work harder. It has. Beck's goals included making All-State, attending a Division I school and eventually playing at the professional level. Beck realized his first two as- pirations shortly after compiling the list. However, success has not al- ways been easy for this Garner native. It was during baseball sea- son of his sophomore year that Beck lost his father. "I still think back to all that he's taught me Becksaid. "I block everything out. When I step out on the mound it's just me and the catcher Beck looks forward to break- ing a college record and hopes for a chance in the pros. But if a pro- fessional career is not feasible, Beck will be prepared. "I'll be coaching and teach- ing somewhere in this state at the high school level Beck said. 1B IB 2B SS 3B C OF OF OF DH RH Starter LH Starter Reliever Player of Yrl Team Batting 1. Old Dominion 2.

When the Watkins, Kushnets, and Wests of ECU baseball move on from the green grass of Harrington Field to other challenges, its time for the torch to be passed. Coach Overton looked to the junior college (JUCO) circuit to recruit players for immediate im- pact on his team. Six players have been added to the Pirate roster, and all of them could eventually be starters this season. Three first- year freshmen and a walk-on will further strengthen the roster for Coach Overton.

He played Mike Jacobs comes from a rare breed of athletes. He plays football in the fall for By Brian Olson Editor coach Steve Logan and hits the diamond in the spring for coach Gary Overton. Two-sport athletes are seldom seen, and Jacobs has planned to make an impact in both sports. Jacobs was recruited out of high school to be a quarterback by former ECU football coach Bill Lewis but his dreams of someday playing college baseball were still present. "At the time I was playing (baseball in high school), 1 was told by Coach Lewis that I could play both sports here Jacobs said. "So, that's what my plans were. I de- cided to come to East Carolina to play football and baseball. His quarterback dreams were flushed away when he was switched to a punter during his sophomore season. He became the starting punter for the Pirates in six of the team's games duringthe 1992 season. The job of being a punter did not work out to Jacobs either, and this past football season, Jacobs was used solely on special teams. "I probably have more of a chance of having a career in base- ball than I do in football with just snapping and holding Jacobs said. "If I was still playing quarter- back, that might be a different thing, but that is out the window he said Right now 1 have a better chance of making it in baseball than I do in football Jacobs is definitely not new to the sport of baseball. He played at the varsity level for three years at Smithfield-Selma High School and also played American Legion base- ball over his past summers. During his senior season in high school, professional scouts came out in the spring to watch him play baseball, even though Jacobs had already made a com- mitment to play college football in the fall for the Pirates. The N.Y. Mets and Montreal Expos both came to see him play and they both teams urged him to not give up baseball. "He is a hard worker head coach Gary Overton said. "His ethic is very strong. We feel very fortu- nate to have him with us because he came to school here as a football player.

He has authored several books, and is a renowned statistician.) Let's ta ke the sta temen t tha t base- ball is 75 percent pitching. First off, it is nearly impossible to know what is meant by this. "Baseball" is a lot of things- you got your games, you got your pennant races, your personali- ties, your box scores, your anecdotes, vour hot dogs you've got your Hot Stove league and your televised games, your All-Star game and your World Series. Does this mean that 75 percent of ball games are determined by what the pitcher does? Does it mean that 75 percent of ball games are determined by who the pitcher is? Does it refer to 75 percent of pennant races? Seventy- five percent of short series? Seventy- fivepercent of batterpitcher confron- tations? Does it mean that 75 percent of all hot dogs are eaten when the pitcher has the ball? What? It doesn't mean any of those things; it's just a number picked out of midair and plunked down in the middle of a bunch of words in a way that seems to make sense, provided that you don't think too hard about it. It's a bit like saying that "Philosophy is seventy-five percent God "Mov- ies are seventy-five percent acting or "Sex is seventy-five percent physical Or "That statement that baseball is seventv-fi ve percent pitching is ninety- percent nonsense. However, to the extent that it is meaningful, it's false. We don't know what it docs mean, but there are many things that it might mean. If pitching were the dominant part of the game, then there are manv other, more specific state- ments which we would expect to be true. None of them are true. For example: Tlie teams tliat have the better pitcher starting would win 75 per- cent of the time. Doesn't happen. On a very rare occasion, you mighthavea pitcher, like Dwight Gooden in 1985, who wins 75 percent of his starts-but it is a very rare occasion, indeed. If you are saying that "Pitching is 75 percent of baseball when Dwight Gooden is on the mound, as long as Babe Ruth isn't hitting I might buy it. In a free market economy, pitcliers would make the most money, since they would be the most sought after play- ers. Hasn't happened. In fact, on the averagepitchers make less money than players at almost every other position. Teams uvuld never trade a regular pitcher for a regular player. Think about it-if you' vegot a twenty-five-man ros- ter with nine pitchers, who represent 75 percent of the total value, and six- teen other players who have 25 per- cent of the value, are you going to trade one pitcher for one hitter? Of course not-but teams do trade pitch- ers for hitters every winter. Vic standard deviation of runs al- lowed would be larger tlian tlie standard dei'iation of runs scored. If pitching were 75 percent of the game, then one would expect the differences between teams created by pitching to be larger than thosecreated by hitting. But they aren't; the standard deviations of runs scored and runs allowed are the same. Pitchers would monopolize theaward voting. If people really believes that baseball was 75 percent pitching, then one might expect 75 percent of the players in the Hall of Fame to be pitch- ers. They aren't. One might expect 75 percent of Most Valuable Players to be pitchers. They aren't. Even in the era before the Cy Young Award began to siphon off votes, pitchers won less than 40 percent of Most Valuable Player Awards. Pitchers don't win 75 percent of Rookie of the Year Awards. The most accurate formulas for pre- dicting zvins and losses from runs scored and runs allowed uvuld have to give more -weight to runs allouvd-rcprescnting the team's pitching-than to runs scored. Again, it doesn't happen that way; in fact, the most accurate methods for predicting wins and losses from runs scored and runs allowed weight the two elements evenly-and no formula can be developed which retains a simi- lar degree of accuracy while empha- sizing one element over another. Trams would put most of their efforts into dcivloping strong pitching staffs. Managers would spend most of their time working with their pitchers. Clubs would employ more pitching coaches than any other type of coaches. Indeed, if baseball were 75 percent pitching, then one would expect that most man- I 64' The argument that baseball is 75 percent pitching betrays the fundamental nature of the game. 15? agers and most coaches would be former pitchers, since they would be best qualified to deal with the most important p rt of the game. Doesn'thappen. Managers spend as much of their time working with hitters as they do with pitchers. Teams employ as many hitting coaches as they do pitching coaches. Ex-pitchers are rarely hired as mangers; most man- agers were infielders or catchers. Almost all first round draft picks �would be pitchers. Less than half of first round draft picks are pitchers. Pitchers would be the dominant force in determining whereaiuiwhen each offen- sive event occurs. In fact, the identity of the pitcher is the recessive element of any such determination; the identity of the hitter is the dominant element. What I mean by that is the "spread of occurrence" for anv offensive inci- dent is greater for hitters than it is for pitchers. No pitcher allows home runs as often as Dale Murphy hit home runs. No pitcher allows home runs as seldom as (Ozzie Smith) hits home runs. No pitcher allows hits as often as Wade Boggs gets hits. No pitcher, not even (Tom Glavine), allows hits as infrequently (Sid Bream) will get a hit No pitcher strikes out hitters as often as Rob Deer strikes out. No pitcherstrikesout hitters as rarely as Bill Buckner strikes out. This is trueof ev- ery significant area of performance, includ- ing those things like walks and hit bats- J men which are usu- ally considered to be controlled by the pitcher. That means that in or- der to create a working model or simulation of a baseball game, you must allow the hitter to be the dominant, j shaping force ill the game. i And if baseball were 75 j percent pitching, one would j; not expect that to be true. K The general manager I: who says that baseball is 75 percent pitching will turn around and trade his number- two starting pitcher to get an outfielder. The man- ��� agerwhosaysthatbase- ball is 75 percent pitch- ing will spend an hour a day figuring out batting orders and an hour a week lining out his pitch- ing plans. The reporter who says thatbaseball is 75 per- cent pitching will still vote for (Barry Bonds) over (GregMaddux)astheMost Valuable Player. No one in baseball acts as if he really believes that baseball is 75 percent pitching. In a sense, the argument that baseball is 75 percent pitching be- trays the fundamental nature of the game, which is that it is circu- lar. Every run scored is also a run allowed. Whenever the offense suc- ceeds, the defense fails at precisely the same moment and to precisely the same extent. To say that baseball is 75 per- cent pitching is, in a sense, like say- ing that the head of a coin is worth more than the tail, or like saying that a room is bigger if you enter it from the left than from the right. A base- ball game is created by the joining of the pitcher and the hitter into a single act. The problem with the old bro- mide is that it attempts to tear apart that which is in fact indissolvable. Relief comes quick from bullpen ECU has an excellent starting rotation, but if they should ever falter, head coach Gary Overton has a slew of young, strong relievers waiting in the wings. As a team, in 1993, the Pirates were outstand- ing on the mound. They compiled a 2.99 ERA and went 41-19. The relievers gathered seven saves and six wins while assisting the ECU starting rotation. By Dave Pond Assistant Editor H J 1 wB ' � m The quality of this help should continue in 1994. The closers for East Carolina look to be 6-5 sopho- more Mike Jacobs and 6-4 senior who also plavs varsity football and Rich Rosenberger. Jacobs is taking the spring off from football to pitch for Overton. "There's no question that he's got the strongest arm on the team Overton said. "We feel he's a pro prospect, a Goose Gossage-type of pitcher. He comes at you with a lot of velocity and a lot of toughness" Rosenberger is a senior transfer from George Washington University. The right- hander has good velocity and is prepared to show it off. Setting up the two fireballers will be junior Billy Layton, and freshman Ryan Kraft. Layton, a right-hander, "may be the most underrated player on our pitching staff ac- cording to Overton. Kraft is a right-hander from Clayton High School (10-10.44 ERA, 169 K). "We look to him to be a starter as early as next year Overton said. Also in the bullpen will be freshman Brent Billingsley, a southpaw who comes from California armed with a good-breaking ball.Heshouldseelimitedplayingtime,need- ing to gain experience pitching in college baseball. Kenneth Collins, a redshirt freshman, has been plagued with arm and knee prob- lems, but if hestays healthy, hecould see some time on the mound in 1994. Junior walk-on Dan Forson transferred from St. Petersburg Junior College to come play for ECU. The 6-foot southpaw probably won't see much playing time this season Right-hander Jason Mills had some very good relief performances last season and could complement Billy Layton in a middle relief role. Sophomore right-hander Brandon Mohr will see slightlv more time on the mound than hedid last vearbut.aawdingtoCoach Overton, has become, "a victim of a deep and talented pitching staff In 1994, Overton will have many options � to go with in relief pitching situations.

A great percentage of base- ball is in the By Brian Olson Editor player's mind. A player's head can be a major impact whether a team is successful. ECU's senior center fielder Jamie Borel credits his performance to his mental game. "I'm into sports psychology and stuff like that, the mental part of the game Borel said. "I like to visual- ize the different pitches I'm going to see. I try and picture myself taking the right cut and see myself hit the ball hard Borel is a threat from anywhere on the field. Offensively he has the gift of speed. Last season he stole 26- 34 bases for an .765 average. Catch- ers fear him on the base paths; he had an on base percentage of .414 lastseason. Hecan not only hit.com- piling a .298 batting average last sea- son, but he manages to get on base. He led the Pirates in walks with 39. His position in the lineup this year will be crucial to ECU scoring runs. "A player like Borel is what we call a 'flyer Head Coach Gary Overton said. "There's no question his speed is his best asset. His on- base percentage will predicate a lot of our running game this year be- cause he is one of the few players we have with speed in the offensive lineup. It will be important for Jamie to get on base frequently Borel came to ECU from Over- land Park, Kan. He transferred here last season from Johnson County Community College. ECU has had a good amount of success from JUCO players and Borel was a good pickup. "I like itbetter here (North Caro- lina) Borel said. "I plan on living here when I get older. There's no way I'll go back to Kansas. I got recruited by most of the Big Eight schools, but for some reason I just fell in love with the east coast. I like to be around where I can go skiing and where I can go to the beach. I like the warmer weather North Carolina is very appeal- ing to many people and is a main reason why ECU has so many out of state students. The area also attracts many athletes in all campus sports. "I love the beach Borel said. "Being from Kansas there wasn't any beaches around. Sometimes, when I get time off from baseball, I go down on the weekends. I like to go to Wrightsville beach. I go with my parents a lot Going along with his mental part of the game is his hard work ethic. Borel will always be giving his best in the classroom, weight room, and especially on the field. "I take pride at going at every- "itll Jamie Borel thing hard Borel added. "In base- ball, I try and make everyday as though it were my last. I'm doing everything as hard as I can so in the future I don't look back and say 'If I would have only gave a 100 percent doing this I like to do everything as hard as I can so I don't have any regrets later on in my life. I try and do that with everything Being all the way from Kansas and playing baseball during much of the year, it is tough to see your family as much as you would like to. Jamie was very pleased that his fa- ther got a job in Raleigh and he was able to be closer to his family and could go home whenever he wanted to. Borel is not only a baseball fan. Heenjoys football as well and grow- ing up near Kansas City made him a die hard Chiefs fan. Jamie is a big Joe Montana fan and his heart was crushed when the Chiefs lost their AFC Championship game to the Buffalo Bills recently. He said he still gets mad when he thinks about it. Borel is in his final year at ECU and his getting ready to graduate next fall with a degree in Health and Fitness. East Carolina has a pro- gram in that field and it coincided with his choice to attend the school. "I saw an opportunity for a de- gree in health and fitness here, which was a bonus, and everything worked out nicely Borel said. "I liked the program and I knew we would have some winning teams. There have been a lot of winning teams at ECU and I wanted to carry on the tradi- tion. I hope to keep it going this year 1 f he does not get a chance to play baseball after college, Borel has hopes of staying close to the game he loves. "Iliketotakethat(love)intocoach- ingatthecollege level somedav Borel said smiling. "I would like to teach the mental part of the game The Pirate baseball team has been oneofthemost successfu 1 p rogra ms a t ECU. As with any senior, Borel wants this season to be the best and most memorable to him. "I would like to see the team get some national recognition, which means a lot of wins. That means every- one is doing their job Borel said. "I like to see a winning atmosphere If you're having a winning vear, that means everyone is doing well Borel will be staring in center field for the Pirates this year and will be the leader in the outfield. The Pirates have been better than thought of so far in practice defensively so far, according to Coach Overton. It looks as if the outfield will be secure in the glove of Borel. "His defense gives a boost in the outfield Overton said. "He can run down balls in the gap as well as any college center fielder. His defensive play is sometimes overlooked by the fact that he steals bases. Offensively, he is what other teams call a 'pest 'Normal' Hartgrove enters final season at ECU Pitcher named 2nd team All- East in 1993 Normal guys are everywhere.

"I like to be by myself or just with a few people a lot Hartgrove said. "When I'm around other people, I'll laugh and have fun and cut up and all, but I reallv like time to myself That's the way he likes to clas- sify himself. The senior from Asheboro, N.C. was a three-time letterman in baseball for Asheboro H.S and was selected to the 1990 All-State team. He also holds the school record with a 0.46 career earned run average. Hartgrove is looking for con- tinued success at ECU. He is close to graduating and getting on with his life after college. "All I want to do right now is graduate Hartgrove said. "I've gone this far and I need to get my diploma and graduate and get a job. Baseball has been good to me, it's been fun "If it doesn't go any further than this, it helped pay for four years of school Hartgrove said. Baseball sure has treated him right. Last season he was 11- 2 in 20 appearances and 15 starts. He was named to the second- team All-East. Hartgrove hurled eight complete games last year and was named as the CAA tournament MVP af- ter a relief appearance and a complete game victory. Through three seasons for the Pirates, Hartgrove has com- piled a 19-10 record with seven saves. He has struck 105 batters in his career compared to only 15 walks. "Lyle Hartgrove is one of the finest young men that's been through the East Carolina University baseball program coach Gary Overton said. "He is an excellent role model for many young aspiring players Hartgrove likes to keep to him- self more than most other players.

He says it is just a given. He also calls himself a Nintendo buff because he plays it all the time.

ECU pitcher Mike Sandbum does not fit into that category at all. He only lived about 10 miles from the beach and never really was a beach bum kind of guy. He never got into surfing or anything like that. The only water sport he got into was water polo in high school. He resides in Foster City which is near the S.F. bay area. The city has a unique location because he could drive one direction and be at the warm beach or drive in another direction for about an hour and the temperature could change another 30 degrees. Sandbum came to ECU as a col- lege transfer before last season and had a very good year. The statistics speak for themselves. He had the Pirates' lowest ERA with a 2.26 average and that was good enough to be 30th in the nation. Mike was named first team All-East Region by the ABC A and was third in strikeouts intheCAA "He makes an art of pitching coach Gary Overton said.

"I feel if 1 stay with baseball, I'll have my best chance Edwards was used as a backup wide receiver for the football team and saw very limited action. He came to ECU as an outstand- ing high school athlete. He earned two letters in football, three in basket- ball and four in baseball. "I love sports Edwards said.

He likes to work with computers and is majoring in information processing. He is a junior with academics, but only a sopho- more on the field.

I think it is going to be verv exciting, not only to us, but the coaches and fans as well Last vear's Phillies were known as outcasts and the guys on the team didn't even look like they should be plavmg baseball. They had long hair, big bellies, and I-don't-care attitudes. That team went on to the World Series. Now the Pirate players do not have long hair or look like truck driv- ers, but they do possess many different personalities. Maybe when the season ends they can also look back and say that they had a great season.

Corprew has been an impres- sive hitter in the clutch during her career with the Pirates, hitting eight game-winning RBIs in the 1992 sea- son alone.

Senior Sherri Allen enters her third vear here at ECU after playing a season at Towson State. Allen per- formed well as the designated hitter last vear, but will see the majc irity of her playing time this season in right field. The designated hitter position will be filled by junior Dana Crosby. Crosbv was a solid hitter for Coach Manahan last year. She played two seasons at UNC-Wilmington before transferring to East Carolina. Leann Myers will play first base this vear after seeing time at third last season. The senior from King, NC. came to ECU in the fall of 1992 after playing at UN'C-Asheville. Sophomore Heather Smith was a very versatile player for the Lady Pirates last year. Smith started some preseason games at shortstop and saw some regular-season playing time at shortstop in 1993, the posi- tion which she will be vying for along with redshirt freshman Sharolyn Strickland, who was slowed by a broken ankle last season. One pla ver who will certainly be looked to for leadership this season is senior Georgeann Wilke. Wilke is one of the Ladv Pirates' finest ath- letes, and was named to the UNC All-Tour- nament team in 1993. She started in 54 of 56 games last season, and won both the 1993 Female TexasGulf Outstand- ing Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and the GTE District III Academic All- America team for her performance in the classroom. The center field position will be filled bv senior Michelle Ward. Ward returns this season as the nation's leading base stealer for 1993 with 73. She also led the Ladv Pirates in bat- ting average, hitting .450. Ward was named to the UNC All-Tournament team, the Frost Cut- lerv All-Tournament team, and was named Most Valuable Player at the Lady Pirate Classic. She earned First Team honors in the All-South Region, and for the EC AC All-Star Team. Ward will likely be an All-American candidate this season. Some newcomers who should see plaving time this year include junior Dana Lewis, who transferred here after playing two seasons at Chowan college. Lewis will probably see time at either first base or out- field. Another new player that will help in the outfield is freshman Theresa Fischer from Farmingdale, NY. Freshman Dana Hulings and sophomore Mary Dunlap will help out at the catcher position. The pitching staff will be the weakest part of the Pirates defense. Manahan will look to two freshman, Teryn Ford and Jill Rowlands, along with sophomore TraciePodratsky to take control on the mound. Coach Manahan will dip into her well-stocked pool of talent hop- ing to put together another winning season in 1994. Manahan takes coaching skills to international level With 13 vears of coaching experi- ence and an experienced team to back her up, ECU softball coach Sue Manahan is readv to meet By Jeb Brookshire Stff Writer the upcoming softball season head-on. Manahan leadthewomen's softball team to a winning season last vear. During the off-season, Manahan was coaching as well. Over the summer she traveled to Russia with Athletes in Action, a group that involves athletes leading seminarsabout their sport, play- ing games with the local teams from the host country, while sharing their Chris- tian faith with the people that they play. During the Christmas break, Manahan coached a team that went to Guate- mala. "Thev came from all over, and the plavers that went toGuatemala with us were mainlv from California says Manahan. Manahan's team that went to Rus- sia had a 9-1 record. Manahan attrib- uted the one loss to her shortstop who "was trving to be polite and ate some onions, which she was allergic to. She had to sit out the game because of that, and we were without one of our best players Also, while in Russia, Manahan had the opportunity to be a plaver-coach, because one of the team members got injured right before the trip. "It was moredifficultbeinga player andacoachat the same time recalls Manahan. The team that she traveled with to Guatemala earned a 6- 1 record. "The loss there she said, "came from the fact that everv team, no matter how good, will always have a day when nothing seems to go tl ieir way. This is what happened; the other team was reall von top of their game that day Manahan's team also had a chance to play against theGuatemalan national team. "Traveling is something that I have found that I like and I want to be able to it more often. With Athletes in Action, I got to travel as well as present the Gospel in very unique settings and wavs Manahan said. "For example, in Guatemala, we had a talented group that could sing; so we sang together one day in a park Manahan started coaching softball at Douglas Freeman High School in Virginia. She coached there for seven years before coming to ECU. During that time, she led her team to several district championships, one regional and one state championship. She began her coaching career here as a gradu- ate student at ECU about 13 years ago. Manahan has definitely earned the respect of her team. Jennv Parsons, an East Carolina pitcher under Manahan for the last four seasons, is now the pitching coach of the team. She summed up her memories of plaving for Manahan best when she said, "I enjoyed playing for her. She is a great motivator and she always knows what to say to get the best out of the players Every Tuesday is College Night 7pm till close 99C SUBS YoiirC.lwiiL' Ham & Cheese Ham, Bologna & Cheese Bologna & Cheese Turkey & Cheese Ham, Salami & Cheese Ham, Turkey & Cheese All Provolone 60 oz.

"A year ago I felt that we were in over our heads at the start of the season Manahan said. "To change this 1 didn't water down the sched- ule, I arranged it so that we play more at home at the start of the sea- son. This gives our pitchers more time to adjust to pitching well, not worrying about traveling Since the Lady Pirates are not in a particular conference, they must look to multi-team tournaments for most of their games. After opening up the season in Greenville against Barton on Feb. 23, the Pirates will host the Lady Pirate Invitational on the 25th, when they will play Penn State, Eastern Michigan, Radford, Robert Morris, Campbell and the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. The Lady Pirates will also host a round-robin tournament on March 5-6 against in-state rivals UNC-VVilmington and UNC-Greens- boro, along with Canisius and Purdue. East Carolina has its first major tournament in Tampa, Fl. on March 11-13. The Lady Pirates will face top- ranked teams such as Texas A&M and UCLA, as well as teams from around the country such as Florida State, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, UNC, Notre Dame, UVa and Oklahoma State. ECU will then return to Green- ville for much of the middle part of March. After games against Rutgers and GMU, the Hampton Inn Shoney's Lady PirateClassic will take place from March 18-20. They will remain in Greenville that week to play Bucknell and Colgate on the 22nd and 23rd. ECU will be on the road nearly the entire month of April. The Pirates play at the Tar Heel Invitational from April 8-10, then travel to Chatta- nooga, Tennessee to play in the Frost Cutlery Tournament, where they will play against Furman, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and South Florida. The Lady Pirates will play their last home game of the season against North Carolina on April 26 at 3 p.m. The final tourney of the regular sea- son will be the Virginia Classic in Charlottesville, Va "Our 1994 schedule is strong and competitive. It will put us in position to be ranked. The April 8-10 UNC Tournament is big, and the April 15- 17 Frost Cutlery Tournament is tre- mendous. At the April 30th Virginia Tournament, there is the possibility that we could play two nationally- ranked teams Coach Manahan said. Tracy Podratsky will be a key player on the '94 pitching staff.

If Edwards starts, he will be backed up by senior Frank Fedak and junior Chad Puckett. Rick Britton, a transfer from Florida, will be the opening day- third baseman, and brings with him a bad ly needed dose of power to the ECU lineup. He hit .266 wi th 8 home runs in 46 games for the Gators in 1993. Puckett will also be ready to take over at third if needed. Starting in left field for the Pi- rates will once again be sophomore Jason Head. He will be joined in the ECU outfield by Jamie Borel in cen- ter and either Kyle Billingsley or Brian Yerys in right field. "A player like Borel is what we call a 'flyer There is no question that his speed is his best asset Overton said. "His on-base percent- age will predicate a lot of our run- ning game this year The designated hitter role will be filled by senior Chad Triplett. He will be backed up by Billingsley or Yerys, whomever isn't starting in right field. "If we have a player who is a 'jack-of-all-trades it's Chad FACES Triplett Overton said. "The only position that he hasn't played for us is pitcher, and he could do that Yerys joined the Pirates during the winter break, transferring from Louisburg where he led Louisburg to the Junior College World Series. He was also named a two-time all- conference player and all-regional selection. All in all, Coach Overton has put together a squad that is deter- mined to repeat as CAA champions, a goal that is definitely attainable. He has a balanced roster to work with, and a historv of excellent coaching behind him. Look for the Pirates to be in the title hunt in May. Continued from page 3 pitching staff this season is sopho- more Mike Jacobs. Jacobs is a two- sport athlete who is taking the spring off from football in order to concentrate on baseball. He is capable of being a pro prospect, for at 6-5, 225 pounds, he possesses both size and, without question, the strongest arm on the team. He throws at better velocity than any other pitcher on the staff, and will be Overton's primary closer. A freshman who will see limited action this season is pitcher Brent Billingsley. Billingsley comes from Chino Hills, Ca and possesses a good breaking-ball. Brent is joined by big brother junior Kyle Billingsley, who transfers here from Chaffey Junior College. Kyle will be vying for the right field po- sition, and could also see time at the designated hitter position. Senior Rick Britton transferred to ECU from the University of Florida. Britton will be the starting at third-base for the Pirates. Britton's bat will likely place him at the third or fourth spot in the lineup, opposite of Brian Yerys. Ryan Kraft is a freshman pitcher with a lot of promise. He will see some playing time on the hill this season, probably in a relief role. Dan Forson is a left-handed pitcher who walked on to the team this season after playing JLCO ball in Florida. Forson will not see much playing time this season. Josh Constable is a freshman who will probably be redshirted this season. He is a hard-working player, who wiil use this season to develophisskillsand try tobecome a better player. The newcoming players will hopefully add strength to an already tough CAA-powerhouse Pirate baseball team. Jacobs was also recruited for basketball as well. He received filler letters from both Duke and Virginia. The main reason Jacobs decided to play college baseball was an inci- dent that occurred over the summer of 1993. He went to a professional trv- out camp with the Pittsburgh Pi- rates at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, NIC. He was not taking the tryout too seriously because he was just going with a friend who asked him to go. "1 performed pretty well Jacobs said. "The scout told me that I had the potential to be a profes- sional baseball player and that I should look into pursuing this. I would be crazy not to "After seeing the results and hearing the scout tell me I had real potential and he told me I could only help himself by playing here (ECU) Jacobs said. "I'll be able to be drafted this year if I have a good season Jacobs said. "They said they would prob- ably take a real late -round pick even if I didn't play, and I could only help myself by playing This will be his first season as a college baseball player and there are great hopes that he will be a quality- pitcher at this level. Jacobs' fastball was clocked at a high of 91 m.p.h. over the summer and said he was averaging around 88 m.p.h when he was not even in shape. He will probably be looked at by Coach Overton as the main man out of the bullpen in a closer role. As do many other athletes when they are growing up, Jacobs seems to just be interested in the sport that is currentlv in season. He had no real preference when he was young of either being an NFL quarterback or a major league pitcher. Jacobs came here as a fresh- man in 1991 from Smithfield, NI.C. and is currently majoring in his- tory. He grewup in Smithfield play- ing sports in his neighborhood and would like to go on and be a coach for whatever sport comes around. Jacobs likes golfing a lot and would even consider becoming a golf coach. Jacobs would prefer to teach at the high school level be- cause he could still have time to spend with the family that he desires to have. Sports, sports and more sports is what Jacobs loves. Besides play- ing sports, he also watches sports on the TV as much as possible. His favorite show is ESPN's Sportscenter and turns it on every morning as soon as he wakes up. "Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da Jacobs sounds off laughing as he sings the show's popular jingle. n9iitiinjjiriT77F 116 E. 5th Street � Greenville, NC � 757-0948 SPORTSCARDS & COMICS.

Look for them to challenge ECU for the '94 CAA title. "Tie Richmond Spiders, after a sixth-place conference finish in 1993, return a strong e � nucleus for the 1994 season. Ronnie Atkins' squad will be experienced on the mound as well as at the plate, but hispiiyers will need to step up their indi- vidual and team jrlav to be competi- tive in the CAA. Freshman All- America team mem- Rated the fourth toughest conference in the nation, the CAA-championship race will be wide open. ber Sean Casey was UR's top hitter in 1993, and he will once again play first base. Senior Jeff Dausch (.327,6, 35) has moved from left field to second base, where he will be an even day player. Experience will be plentiful in the Spider outfield. Senior RF Tom Scioscia (.323 4,37) and junior CF Mark Budzinski will return, with Budzmski also moving to first base in late-inning situation. They will be backed up by juniors Gerald Dorman and Scott Mealey. The Richmond pitching staff is adequate. There are no superstars, but each member of their staff is capable of pitching in any situation. The staff is led by senior Wayne Hoy (5-3, 3.17) and sophomore Bobby St. Pierre (6-2,4.09). The biggest challenge for Atkins will be to keep his team close in ball games throughout their difficult schedule. The Spiders' bats will tell the storv throughout the season. They could fin- ish in upper half of the CAA pack in 1994. William & Mary, according to Head Coach Jim Farr, will be in every game we play Although they play a demanding schedule, the Tribe could easily im- ������ proveonlastyear's24- 19-1 record. Pitching looks to be the only area where W&M is inexperi- enced, yet the staff is still good. Their rota- tion is led by junior right-hander Mike Ragsdale and south- paw senior Erik Sandvig, who com- bined to go 11-7 for the Tribe in 1993. Behind them, the rotation is Greenville Toyota -99 shaky. The strong W&M bullpen hopes to offset anv problems due to the inexperience of the starters, and Coach Farr will look to closer Adam Butler (2-3,2.92,4 saves) to be his "ace in the hole The Tribe offense is an intense mix of speed and power. William & Mary finished ninth in the counrrv in stolen bases last season, and will run early and often in '94. Meanwhile, Second Team All-CAA member Mike Ruberti hopes to add on his nine home run, 46 RBI performance of 1993. He will be backed in the lineup by shortstop Shawn Knight and Greg Zulli, who each batted over .315. William & Mary is the team on the rise in the CAA. If they stay healthy, look for the Tribe to drasticallv improve on last season's record and possibly make a run at the conference title.
