Sheriff Billy Vandiford plans for it to be a money-maker. Vandiford and jail administrator Jim Hudson were host Saturday to the ECU College Democrats for a tour of the city's new jail. Greenville's 96,000 square foot holding facility has been lo- cated on Detention Center Drive for seven months. The jail has a capacity to house 308, but holds 215 prisoner at present time, including 192 men and 23 women comprising the 70 per- cent black, 2.5 percent white and 5 percent hispanic inmate popu- lation, Hudson said. The jail holds inmates charged with everything from DWI to first degree murder, Hudson said. No one under 16 is held unless they are going to be tried as an adult and there is a superior court order, in which case they must be held separate from the other prisoners. The $10.5 million facility's biggest cost comes from the 96 people it employs. Sixteen to 18 officers work each shift with 35 officers responsible for the seven control centers. Hudson said that for this reason, they are try- ing to make the jail self-support- ive. "We're trying in some way to maybe expand the jail so it can be a separate portion, " Hudson said. "Maybe the jail can pay for its own way to re- lieve some of the burden off the county commissioners who are trying to find money to fund the jail Hudson continued that, in the next two and a half years, the building will be paid for if every dime goes to pay. In order to make the jail self-supportive, various pay-for- service policies are being insti- tuted. One such project is a pay- for-use plan for inmate telephone calls. Every time an inmate calls out, it is a collect call that costs the recipient 95 cents per minute, Hudson said. Sheriff Vandiford added that a deal with Carolina Telephone allows the jaii to re- ceive 30 cents for every call and 28 cents for every long-distance call. In another money-making plan, the jail charges inmates, using a debit system for every non-emergency medical consul- tation. If for example, an inmate has an ingrown toenail and wants it removed, it will cost them $10, Hudson said. If the inmate has no credit, the proce- dure can still be done and cred- ited to the inmate's account; however, if the inmate comes back to the jail and has money, "We are going to get our $10 Hudson said. Following the implemen- tation of the plan, sick requests dropped from 649 to 125 in No- vember, Hudson said. He em- phasized that, "nobody in this jail doesn't get adequate medi- cal care. If a man is sick he's going to see a medical person The jail's kitchen can feed 600 people, possibly opening the door for yet another money mak- ing project. Vandiford said the jail paid $1.95 per person for food. Now they are paying $1.31 and will be trucking food out to other local facilities reducing prices from $2.31 and in some cases to $1.31. Vandiford is presently ne- gotiating a deal with the state to house some of their prisoners in the jail. A $970,000 gymnasium was built in the facility; how- ever, it has never been used, Hudson said. If sold, the gym- nasium will be remodeled to house federal prisoners. Right now the state would pay $50 a day, but he is hoping to negoti- ate to $58 a day, Vandiford said. Vandiford and Hudson run a tight operation with strict rules of conduct. There are no televisions in the jail and smok- ing is not allowed. "If you don't like it, stay out of jail Hudson said. This is largely not a prob- lem since the jail's inmates spend 180 days or less in the jail mainly awaiting trial, Hudson said. Inmates in the jail are not allowed to have money, so a canteen operates on a debit system, Hudson said. Officers are sure to prevent contraband from entering the center. Upon entering the jail, in- mates are searched. "We take everything from them but their smiles Hudson said. He added that "if contraband comes in you can pretty much figure a guard brought it in because we are so strict There have also been some minor changes to make the jail more secure. "It wasn't too hard at one time to escape Hudson said. He attributed See DEMOCRATS page 3 Anyone fbra game of Turtle Hurdles? If you sign up for Science 5000, this is your homework.

Photo by Certtlc Van Buren Couple helps local kids By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer With as many as 10 mil- lion latchkey children in America alone, there is a high need for some type of after school supervision. These chil- dren, known for the key worn around their necks, are found in every city in every state. Renee Arrington and her husband Marvin had seen enough of these children roam- ing Fifth Street in the after- noons. What started as a hand- ful of students stopping in their store after school has turned into a regular program known as the Little Willie Center. Thanks to a Venture Grant from the United Way, the Arringtons were able to con- vert their operations to a house located at 807 West Fifth Street. The doors opened in May 1992. The center currently pro- vides "free" care for 48 children five days a week. But, the "free" care does have some stipula- tions for the parents. "If the parents could have afforded day care, the chil- dren would not have been left alone Renee Arrington said. The parents of these children are required to sign a volunteer commitment of one day a week. Addition- ally, they must take part in the Parents in Training program(PIT). The PIT pro- gram offers on-site job train- ing such as filing, serving and tutoring. This gives the parents some job experience. "This is a way for the parents to bond with their See COUPLE page 3 No nerds here! By Jason Williams Assistant News Editor Honors students at ECU do not necessarily fit the stereotype of nerds and geeks who study all the time. Director Dr. David Sand- ers profiles honors students as quite the opposite of such stereo- types. The Honors Program is open to first-year students who scored 1200 or better on the SAT and had a 3.5 or better GP A in high school. Students who earn a 3.4 or better GPA at ECU are also eligible for honors courses. "The Honors Program is intended to benefit bright stu- dents, students who would ben- efit from small classes, personal attention and more challenging courses and who are good stu- dents he said. "It is more precisely de- signed for students who took AP classes in high school orGTclasses in high school Sanders said. "As long as they maintain a 3.4 or something close to it, they can continue to take honors classes Sanders said honors stu- dents must take 24 hours of hon- ors courses to complete the pro- gram. Graduates of the program are recognized a t commencement as well as on their transcript for their achievement. Currently there are about 600 students registered in the hon- ors program. Thirty seniors will graduate from the program in May. Sanders said that not as many people graduate from the program as enroll in it because many do not complete 24 hours. One appeal of the honors courses is their small class size. "We try to limit them to around 20, the average is about 17 Sand- ers said. "There are basically two types of courses: honors seminars, which are topics suggested by the faculty or students to be taught on a one-term basis; and honors sec- tions, which are regular courses taught by honors faculty. "All of them expect students to make A's or B's. We tell stu- dents that they should make in honors courses what they make in regular classes Sanders said. "They are not intended to lower a student's grade, or else they wouldn't take the courses Sanders said that the honors program now offers classes in al- most every school. Not all depart- ments have honors classes every semester, however. This semes- ter, the School of Technology and the Department of Accounting are offering honors sections for the first time. This year Sanders is submit- ting a proposal that would make the honors program four years. Currently most honors courses are 1000- or 2000-level and are de- signed to fulfill general education requirements. "There have always been departments where students could take upper level honors courses or do things for honors credit Sanders said. "What we are proposing is that this be avail- able across the board, "It would be called senior honors, or senior thesis. Most de- partments would have students do three hours of research and three hours of thesis The new program would also allow students in such ma- jors as creative writing, art or See NERDS page 3 Motorcyclists taught safety measures By Jeb Brookshire Staff Writer The North Carolina Mo- torcycle Safety Education Pro- gram is still in its first year of permanent status and it is striv- ing to make all riders safer and more alert when on the road. The program got off the ground in August of 1989. It operated on a temporary basis until July 14, 1993, when it be- came a permanent state pro- gram. The program operates at 14 sites through community colleges and is headquartered here at ECU. "The main emphasis is to teach safety, and to teach riders the skills they need to save their life said Motorcycle Safety Communication Specialist Bob Brown. "I rode for over 20 years before I took the course, and I learned a lot The program offers three courses. The first course is the motorcycle rider course, which teaches basic riding skills and street skills to new riders. The second course is the experienced rider course, which reinforces skills learned in the first course. The program also offers a course for instructors. The skills taught are in ar- eas found to cause the most number of motorcycle acci- dents. Three dollars of every mo- torcycle registration goes to this program, so it is funded by mo- torcyclists. The motorcycles are special training models pro- vided by Honda on an extended loan. "We really couldn't oper- ate without the help of the deal- ers that provide the bikes Brown said. Interested riders need only- pay between $35 and $50 and attend the course; the bikes are already provided. However, proper clothing is required in order to partici- pate. Riders must wear over- the-ankle footwear, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, full fingered gloves and protec- tive eye wear. Helmets are pro- vided by the program. The program works closely with the Governor's Highway Safety Council and is responsible for several motor- cycle safety campaigns. Last year the "Find the Motorcyclist" campaign stressed the cyclist's vulnerability on the road to the four-wheel drivers. This year the program is starting a campaign on wearing proper riding gear called "Save Your Hide in a Slide � Wear It This campaign will be very active during the warmer months when riders often do not dress appropriately and often end up dehydrating while riding. The program also works closely with the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish a permit system for motorcy- clists and to increase the sen- sitivity of the sensors at inter- sections. Last year in North Caro- See SAFETY page 3 Gainesville slayer goes to court, students relive horrors GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) � They were freshmen when five fellow students were slain 3 12 years ago. They are now seniors, anticipating Tuesday's start of the murder trial for Danny Harold Rolling. The memories of fear and panic are still strong. Karen Whitney, 23, now a senior in wildlife ecology at the University of Florida, recalls the terror of huddling with friends at night. She disre- garded her parents' entreaties to return home, but "I was freaking out she said. Many of her friends fled the campus, and some never came back. Whitney and many others are ready for Rolling to finallv have his day in court. The trial is expected to last six to 10 weeks. Selection of 12 jurors and four alternates from among 1,500 people summoned begins Tuesday. State Attorney Rod Smith and a team of prosecutors will try to prove that Rolling, a 39- year-old drifter from Shreve- port, La was Gainesville's se- rial killer of 1990. He faces five murder counts, three of sexual battery and three of armed burglary. If convicted, he would be sen- tenced to life in prison or death in Florida s electric chair. He already is serving life terms for other crimes. Smith's case is built on See STUDENTS page 2 Isn't it great?

While it's true that journalists occasionally have been accused of being reptiles, it's not often that they get much media attention just for hanging out with them. A Colombian boa constrictor named Van Gogh recently was on the lam for three weeks in the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications after he es- caped his owner's clutches at the college's WUFT television studios. Van Gogh's three-week slither came to an end in mid-January when the boa was discovered in the studio's master control room, not far from where he made his break in Weimer Hall, the Independent Florida Alligator reported. The snake's owner spotted a cable that looked likea snakeskin, which isexactly what it turned out to be. The elusive snake was huddled in a two-inch space above the transmitter. Not everyone in the College of Journalism and Communications was happy to see Van Gogh depart. Telecommunications Chair Gerald Smeyak said he was dejected about the snake's exit because it meant the end of Dean Ralph Lowenstein's periodic snake updates. Re- peated attempts by a pest-control SWAT team from the Physical Plant failed to corral the escaped reptile. Hate speech code deep-sixed at Penn No disciplinary action should be taken against a University of Pennsylvania student who utters a racist, sexist or other politically incorrect comment unless it is accompanied by a physical threat, a committee has recommended. The university decided Nov. 15,1993 to suspend enforcement of its existing hate speech code and replace it by the end of the year by some kind of student mediation. Penn became embroiled in a divisive debate about free speech last year after a white male student called black women students "water buffaloes" because they were making too much noise late one night near his dormitory room. The student denied that he intended the comment as a racial remark, but the women brought racial harass- ment charges against him under the university's speech code. The charges were later dropped, but not before the university became the focus of a national debate on political correctness and how far campuses could go to protect students from harassment while pro- tecting their rights to free speech. A campus committee made up of faculty and staff have proposed that speech that doesn't contain a physical threat should not be subject to disciplinary action. Other proposals include assigning housing to first-year students to insure that "self-segregation" does not occur and hiring an ombudsman for the student newspaper, The Daily Pcnnsylvanian, to handle com- plaints. Nearly an entire press run of the paper was confiscated and trashed last year by students who said they were protesting racism. Compiled by Jason Williams. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. SARAJEVO, Bosnia- Herzegovina (AP) � Bosnian Serbs besieging Sarajevo put two more heavy guns under U.N. control Monday, and officials reported the city suffered no ca- sualties during its quietest weekend in 22 months of war. While the guns around Sarajevo were silent for a fifth straight day, tension remained STUDENTS high over NATO's ultimatum for the Serbs to withdraw their heavy weapons from around Sarajevo by Feb. 20 or be bombed. Bosnia's Muslim-led gov- ernment does not like a UN. deal allowing Serbs to put their howitzers, mortars and anti-air- craft guns under UN. observa- tion at points around the city rather than taking them to the U.N. base at the airport. The government says the Serbs could quickly put the guns into action again. The Serbs also have moved only 28 heavy weapons to obser- vation points, a negligible por- tion of the 500 big guns they are thought to have surrounding Sarajevo. The government, which has about 50 heavy weapons in the city, has put 10 of them under U.N. control. Western and U.N. officials have been vague about whether NATO's ultimatum would be satisified by the weapons-ob- servation plan worked out last week by the U.N. military com- mander for Bosnia, Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose of Britain.

A sales receipt shows that three days earlier Ms. Powell and Ms. Larson had purchased household goods at a Wal-Mart, about the same time a man was buying a tent and camping sup- plies. On their way home from the store, they stopped at a phone booth to call their parents and a boyfriend. Their bodies were found Sunday when Powell's parents, unable to reach her, drove to Gainesville. A few hours later, just after midnight Aug. 27, 18-year-old Christa Hoyt, a student at nearby Santa Fe Community College, was found decapitated at her duplex about a mile and a half from the Larson and Powell apartment. She had failed to re- spond to calls from her employer, the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.

A prisoner was able to escape on one occa- sion using the metal end of a pencil eraser to melt a plexiglass window, Hudson said. The jail itself has some sur- prising features. High tech equip- ment is used throughout the cen- ter. A camcorder takes all mug shots so images can be inhanced on computer similar to the one used for fingerprinting, said Of- ficer J.L. Harris. The jail also uses seven computerized control cen- ters that monitor and control all door locks and security features, Hudson said. Another surprising aspect of the new jail is the cleanliness. This is surprising because not only were offices, lobbies and other highly visible areas clean, but the inmates holding areas were relatively clean also. Hudson feels "we've got some- thing to be proud of, so let's keep it that way An unsurprising aspect of COUPLE the jail is its food. During the tour lunch was served and Vandiford, Hudson and the College Demo- crats ate together in a meeting room. There is no cafeteria; the inmates eat in their cells. The lunch consisted of a salad made up of mostly lettuce, a soggy Sloppy Joe and equally soggy french fries.

Blue was impressed that before inmates can use any of the jails extras, includ- ing the canteen, the prisoners must complete a literacy and drug abuse program. Blue also said he was "happy that they didn't have a lot of TVs Continued from page 1 (AP) � Utility workers struggled to restore power today to more than half a million people left in the dark when inches-thick lay- ers of ice brought electric lines crash- ing down from Mississippi to Mary- land. Last week's freezing rain coated roads and trees from the southern Plains to the East Coast with ice, then dumped heavy snow in northern states. The 12th storm of the season in the Northeast led to dozens of accidents Sunday, including a 20- carpileup in Massachusetts in which no one was seriously injured. The powerless could take heart from Monday's forecast: For the first rime in weeks, no more heavy snow was expected in the near future, and temperatures Mon- day were forecast to rise into the 40s as far south as Maryland and Vir- ginia. SAFETY In Ohio, National Guard troops trucked tons of ice to Lake Erie. Not that the lake needs chill- ing; it's already frozen across. They were cutting chunks from the Cha- grin River to prevent a repeat of last month's flooding, when ice logjams kept melting snow from flowing into the lake. Guardsman Larry Wysocky got on-the-job-training in ice re- moval behind the wheel of a front- end loader. "I still find it hard to imagine pieces of ice this large from a little river Wysocky said. "It's outra- geous The snow was the thing in Milwaukee. The city has about 22 inches on the ground, the deepest accumulation since 1985.

"It's not going to be that easy to get around Tennessee was especially- hard hit. About 128,000 house- holds, more than 250,000 people, waited todav for workers to clear broken tree limbs and reconnect power lines. Electricity was already restored to about 535,000. "There will still be some people without power as late as Thursday said Cecil Whaley of the Tennessee Emergency Manage- ment Agency. About 130,000customers lost power in Virginia, where Lynchburg remained under cur- few for the third straight night. The city had no street lights and busi- nesses had no alarm systems, said children Arrington said. "We are not operating a baby-sitting service At one point the Little Willie Center cared for 118 chil- dren, but this created a fire haz- ard so the number was reduced. The center has been able to operate with the help of fund- ing from various organizations such as Nations Bank, Clark Branch Realty, Wachovia, BB&T, and the ECU Medical School. A great donation of time has been provided by the ECU Volunteer program directed by Judy Baker. When the doors of the cen- ter first opened in '92, Arrington received 33 volunteers. "Without those 33 stu- dents, I don't know how we would have made it Arrington said. Each day a group of vol- unteers help in tutoring, baking cookies, and playing with and supervising the youngsters. A normal day sees six volunteers. Occasionally, volunteers are needed to supervise field trips on Saturdays. "I have no trouble finding volunteers to send to the Little Willie Center Judy Baker said. Baker attributed some of the center's success with volun- teers to its proximity to campus as well as the response the vol- unteers get from both the Arringtons and the children. "The volunteers come back knowing that they have been appreciated Baker said. The Little Willie Center has been such a phenomenal suc- cess with the volunteers that Judy Baker has just assigned a new group to help with volun- teering. Dr. Alice Arnold, a profes- sor in the art department and life-long volunteer, imple- mented a program where her art students would be given practicum credit to teach art les- sons to students from the Little Willie Center. "It is people like Dr. Arnold who can make a differ- ence in these children's lives Arrington said. Every Tuesday, from 4-5 p.m five children from the cen- ter and 15 children from around the community are bused to the Jenkins Art Building for art les- sons. Last week the children were taught about pressing, us- ing Styrofoam cut-outs and paint. Each of the three art stu- dents alternate weeks to teach the lesson. "It is important for children from the entire community to be brought into the School of Art for an opportunity that may not be available in many public schools Arnold said. The children are trans- ported to the art building by a member of Arnold's church, the Universal Unitarian Church. "Judy Baker gave me the inspiration to develop my own outreach program with the Little Willie Center Arnold said. Arnold's volunteer expe- rience first began while she was a graduate student at the Uni- versity of Illinois. It continued through her time as a doctoral candidate. She taught swim- ming lessons to children at the YMCAYWCA. "Derek Bok former Presi- dent of Harvard University says in Universities and the Fu- ture of America that it is abso- lutely essential that students are provided service opportunities in the community that will mir- ror the kinds of responsibilities they will have in the world of work Arnold said. While Arnold will not re- quire her students to be volun- teers, she will recommend it. Baker, who teaches Health 1000 courses as well as upper level health courses, also encourages her students to become life-long volunteers, yet she does not re- quire it. "The experience is recip- rocal Baker said. As for the Little Willie Cen- ter, Arrington says that without the help of Baker's program, the center would probably not be able to remain open. "Judy has been a ram in the bush to this center Arrington said. "She has been a light in the darkness. A lot of times there is no hope in this society, but a ray of light can lead you to find hope.

'Sucof. i'i )HouZ2?s Re, ?UH v jf4 & �ri �ot 7?oV ? A KK It's so comforting to witness the legal sys- tem chock-full df sliminess and Tonya Harding allowed to skate at the Olympics. Actually, it's nice to see that capitalism is still alive and well in the United States. What a greedy little country we are, salivating over our Ixttotidcets,newshungryformenewestHarding scoop and poised and waiting for the special Hard Copy episode. It's all a part of the American Dream, though, and dammit, shouldn't we wal- low in it? The crime in this is not the soap opera-like frenzy that most of the country seems to be in or even the multi-million dollar deals being made, but the tarnished ideal that was the Olympics. True, the Olympics may have held more appeal for an 10-year-old girl as she trekked up and down the Lake Placid luge run two years after the 1980 Winter Olympics, but now it's close to 15 years later and this writer (the same little girl, now grown up) is hardly proud to send Tonya Harding to represent her country. The fact is, Harding has admitted to know- ing about plans that led up to the attack on Nancy Kerrigan and withheld that information from the police for a full week. Tonya Harding ca- vorted with people who were plotting assualt rud battery, kept it a secret and played innocent, $efore finally confessing her involvement when the FBI questioning became intense. She is an accessory to the crime that could have ended Kerrigan's career andor crippled her. And all because she didn't have what it takes to win a medal. This is the girl we honor by sending her to the Olympics, a festival that used to celebrate athleticism and a little something called sportsmanship. Because she is a monetary commodity, the U. S. Olympic Committee has caved in like the cowards they are. With dollar signs in their eyes, and gold and silver medals to add to their collec- tion, they gave this skater the opportunity that so many top-notch athletes crave. The dream of thou- sands who dedicate most of their young lives training in a sport that primarily doesn't go on to professional levels. Th Olympics is it. The final test. The great goal. And now, as if skating in the Olympics isn't enough, an added stress has been tacked on to both Harding and Kerrigan in the form of practice schedules and living arrangements. The two are living in the same two-story building in the athlete village (though on separate floors and at opposite ends) and have declined the option of skating at an alternate rink in nearby Oslo. Aside from obvious ice covering the rink, cold shoulders are sure to be rather prevalent as the two practice in the coming days. Tricky is the fine art of avoidance as someone flies out of iheir triple-loop and attempts to land clear of any other practicing skaters � right-of-way is a practice- skating courtesy, but near-collisions are not un- usual. However, it could prove to be difficult to spot a landing and ignore the competitor that may or may not have hired someone to debilitate you. It is not a question of whether she is guilty of a crime and should go to jail. Rather, it is whether her behavior, at least what we've been shewn, should disqualify her from the privilege of being on the U.S. Olympic team. Obviously the Olympic Committee didn't think so. The little 10-year-old with stars in her eyes feels differently. By Brian Hall AS0Tit piTsiTE- tW HA0IN6 FlVsruLtEHAMMESNEWy firVUMCES OH AILTHE H�Kb W0R f Technology over-steps social The advanced technology that seems to be ever growing has not just made the computer a way of life. For many, it is life. Americans have become not only "hooked in but "hooked on" all the information, services and new areas of personal de- velopment they can receive from systems such as Prodigy, America Online, Internet and the Imagination Network. Twenty to 30 perctnt of American families now have at least one computer at home, and schools are excitedly pushing our students to become com- puter literate before they are literate. As Americans jump with leaps and bounds toward a more lechnogically advanced, computer-based society, we are over-stepping the social rami- fications imposed by this move- ment. For example, the percent- age of American families own- ing a computer is undoubtedly made up of those middle and upper-middle class families who can afford one. Consequently, this unequal distribution only serves to reinforce the gap be- tween affluent and poorer com- munities. Second, Sue Bredekamp, director of professional devel- opment at the National Asso- ciation for the Education of Young Children in Washington says that for young children, "computers are really a social activity. Children will interact in pairs, even in threes and fours This may be so in a very controlled environment, but you put three or four kids around a computer during free time at school and the social activities that really exist are "Hey, gimme that mouse or, "That's wrong, you dummy and "C'mon, it's my turn Furthermore, as a future English teacher, I shudder at the thought that there will come a day when we shower with praise the student who is perhaps read- ing and writing below grade level, yet who is a computer By Barbara Irwin ramifications whiz. And unfortunately, some teachers will spend more time with this child because it is more socially beneficial, and entertaining, than spending time with a remedial reader. Other proponents would argue that people of all ages are zombies in front of a tele- vision set, but the computer engages them. Oh, yeah? En- gages them in what? Since computer games are number one in software sales, succeed- ing in getting a little hedge- hog to chase after a bunch of golden rings while dodging daggers, fireballs and deadly monsters, obviously must be fundamental preparation for real life. At least television of- fers a variety of opinions out- side a win or lose, live or die environment. So, clean up your house, do your dishes, wash your stinkin' laundry and get a real life. It's too short to spend in front of a 12-inch screen of any kind. Letters to the Editor Liberal media biased against conservatism vt To even ask the question of whether the media are biased pre- supposes that the question is open to doubt Anyone who has not been completely coopted by liber- alism realized a long time ago that the national and most local news media in this MHHMMHH country are bi- ased against conservatism. Everyone feels that the press treats them unfairly. Part of the new American pasttime of victimhoodisto claim persecution by the press. Some groups, such as blacks, have some legitimate gripes. About the only way a black person will ever appear in the news is if he is ar- rested or excels at a sport. I have no idea how homosexuals think that they are poorly portrayed. Noother identifiable group in the past year received fheoverwhelrningly posi- tive coverage that they did, from the military debate to the march on Washington to the deafening criticalapplauseforthemoviePiilfl- delphia. You can tell how much the media industry in our country has changed when homosexuals re- ceivebetterpressthanmembersof the clergy. Thegroup whichhas thebest case for biased coverage are con- servatives. One year ago this month, a Washington Post reporter, stated that religious conservatives are "largely poor, uneducated, and easy to command The Post later apologized for printing the state- menthowever, a similar statement ! about any other group would not only never have made it into the paper, it quite likely would have cost the reporter his job. It would have at least caused him to be sent to one of these new sensitivity pro- grams. Imagine if a reporter submit- tedastoryaboutjessejackson'ssup- porters which said that they were "largely poor, uneducated, and easy to command I do not believe the ����H preceding Part of the new American r pasttime of victimhood is to claim persecution by the press. statement. My point is that such a statement would never be put into print. A friend and I were recently discussing those commercials about abortion by the Arthur S. DeMoss Founda- tion, which have the tag line "Life. What a beautiful choice He com- plained that while those commer- cials were good,itwas impossible to make similar commercials for the pro-choice side. The pro-choice side does not need to. The news does the job for them everytime it covers the issue. Pro-choice supporters are de- picted as intelligent, articulate, rea- sonable people. Pro-lifers are por- trayed as fanatical protesters, who are trying to control women and prevent them from exercising their rights. This can also be seen in the labels it applies to people and move- ments. Those who support keeping abortionlegalprefertobecalled "pro- choice Those who believe that life begins at conception and are there- fore against abortion prefer to be called "pro-life The media inces- santly refer to them as "anti-abor- tion If the media really wanted to be fair, by this reasoning, the pro- choice side would be called "pro- abortion The press also uses the term "conservative" as a pejorative. One would think from press reports that Jesse Helms' first name was either " Archconservative" or "Ultraconser- vative Is there anyone who is simi- larly called "Archliberal" or "Ultraliberal?"Orevenjust "liberal?" No, liberals are just left with their given name. Anotherexampleof this phenomenon was in the 1988 presi- dential election. At the Democratic convention, the harshest adjective used to describe anyone was "lib- eral" or "progressive At the Re- publican convention, however, re- porters used the terms "hard-right conservative "hard-rockconserva- tive "rock-hard conservative "hard right people "far right- wing and, my favorite, "the con- servativeodor If conservativeshave an odor, I wonder, did the Clintons have to have the White House fumi- gated before they moved in? According to Robert Lichter of the Center for Media and Public Af- fairs, during the '92 primaries 46 percent of the coverage of Demo- crats was positive; only 22 percent of Bush'swas. Pat Buchannan received 35 percent positive coverage. After the end of the primaries, 56 percent of the coverage of the Clinton Gore ticket was positive; 71 percent of the BushQuayle coverage was nega- tive. There is no vast conspiracy at work here. Reporting just attracts persons of a liberal bent � people who want to change the world � like many other professions (such as social work). What is really galling is their repeated protestationsof fair- ness, though this is bearable be- cause the prejudice is so transparent. Where the media really fail is in the choiceof what tocover. They should stop wasting their energy and our time with trivia like the Tonya Harding "story and just give us the unvarnished facts. Stop trying tobeour source for solutions. Tell us whatishappening, and let us make our own decisions. To the Editor: My purpose in writing this letter is to get some answers from administrators on this campus as to why situations have progressively gotten worse. On January 10th, I stood in line with hundreds of students at the cashiers office. With over 18,000 stu- dents enrolled here, why has this been a continual problem? The campus police lets in 5 students at a time when the weather was below freezing! Then, some students were given "special permission" to walk in ahead of those like me who had been in line for two hours! On January 31st, I made an appointment at the Student Health Center. I arrived 10 minutes earlier. I was told to wait upstairs. After several nurses noticed I had been there for a while, they looked for my folder to see what had happened. The nurse that saw me at 11:00 was gone to lunch, so after 45 minutesof waiting, I was seen by a doctor. I went downstairs to fill my prescription at 11:55 and the cashier and pharmacy were closing their offices for lunch. I asked if they could fill my prescription because I was sick and I didn' t want to comeback out in the cold, the answer, "We have to go to lunch now so we can get back in time Soat 1 pm on the dot I was back at the cashiers office. The cashier wasn't back, I explained to the pharmacy I was really sick and could they help me. By the time I got my prescription, Donna Joyner told me in the future I could take my prescription to a drug store if they were closed! Hello! I pay fees for these services and why is no one there to help me. Why doesn't someone fill in from 12-1:00� with 18,000 students enrolled at ECU. So, how about those of you getting paid sala- ries to " trouble shoot" let the students of ECU know what plans are being implemented to deal with these problems and others. Maybe look at how other colleges operate successfully?!? Hey that's an idea. Beth Arthur Senior Communication To the Editor: Both Mr. Tyndall and Mr. Joyner in their Feb. 8 letters conveniently forgot to mention that they are executiveofficers in theECUCollege Republicans. Mem- bers of the G.O.P. are again distorting the truth. Mr. Blue in his Feb. 3 article never labeled Mr. Jones as a "liberal Mr. Blue was simply stating facts from Mr. Jones' questionable voting record. While Mr. Blue stated facts, Mr. Joyner and Mr. Tyndall slung mud at Mr. Blue and attempted to destroy his reputation. Obviously the College Republicans again have beenbrainwashedbytheCongressionalClub.Thisdazed and confused group apparently has no solid idea of where their candidate stands on the issues or who he really represents. First of all Mr. Jones was a long time Democrat who on the spur of the moment changed his mind and switched over to the Republican Party. Second he was a Southern Baptist who on a whim converted to Catholicism. Last of all Mr. Jones voted for the districts but now is against them. It isblatantly apparent that Mr. Jones has no firm stand onany issues. He also seems not to have any firm beliefs on morality. Mr. Blue may not know how to identify a liberal, but he sure nows how to identify a political opportunist and fence strattler. Maybe one day Mr. Joyner and Mr. Tyndall will learn what the issues are. Hopefully they will stop trying to destroy the credibility of someone who truly knows the issues and where the candidates stand. Matthew A. Stuart General College Sophmore To the Editor: This letter is in response to "Valentine's Day: It's full of be-headed goodness Obviously the author is not a Christian or he wouldn't have degraded Easter so. Did he not think to ask someone about the holiday before printing that ghastly assumption? 1 pride myself on being a Christian and found the statement made, very insulting. I consider Easter a very sound and true holiday along with many other believers in this world. It is not just someone or an average Joe � it's Jesus Christ! He died to save everyone else from perishing in Hell as a result of their sins! He even saved you. The son of God, not the guy next door! I think that makes him slightly more important if not moreso. Lastly, of all the dumb mistakes is the statement that Easter celebrates His death. Hello! Christians would never celebrate the death of Jesus. Everyone should know that Good Friday is when He died and that He came back to life on Easter. Duh, like doesn't that make more sense? Maybe next time that kind of remark won't just slip by and get published without a second thought. Maybe next time the writer won't write something without checking to see if it's true first. Thank you for listening; I had to defend my beliefs.

By Cindy Hawkins Staff Writer The Sarasota Ballet will be performing in Wright Audito- rium on Feb. 19 at 8 p.m The dance troupe is from Sarasota, Fla and is a mixture of classical and contemporary ballet. The troupe is a relatively new one, operating under the influence of Canadian Eddie Toussaint. Toussaint, a reputableand in- ternationally-recognized chore- ographer, founded and directed the ballet, Eddie Toussaint de t lontreal. In 1990, he moved to Sarasota and brought with him 10 of his dancers and much of the repertoire on which his reputa- tion is based. With the core of the troupe established, he added some talented American artists and began to tour internation- ally The Sarasota Ballet, only in its fourth season, performs tradi- tional ballet from the waist down, and contempora rv ballet from the waist up.

Gospel choir rocks By Cedric Van Buren Staff Writer This past weekend, ECU was a college immersed in a LI the hustle and bustle of a major me- tropolis. On Friday, many stu- dents participated in the annual Mardi Gras festivities in Mendenhall Student Center. Still, others braved the weather on Saturday to go witness a joy- - ful explosion of gospel music. The event was held in Wright Auditorium where many went to enjoy the angelic voices that took part in the ECU Gospel Choir's 11th .Anniversary Cel- ebration. Seven different choirs took the stage and sang with such power, it almost blew the roof off the building. The different styles and backgrounds of gos- pel music were represented by different schools from the state, such as ECU, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Fayetteville State, Barton College, Tarboro High School, Roanoke Rapids High School and the Teen Voices at Cornerstone Baptist Church. Each took turns at entertaining the crowd of some 700 plus. People were still packing it in until late in the evening. Saturday night might have been full of the gospel music of many choirs, but the main focus was on the ECU Gospel Choir. This choir started out in 1978 as the ECU Gospel Ensemble. As the ensemble's reputation grew, so did its membership. When the membership grew to 45, they changed the name to the ECU Gospel Choir. The ECU Gospel Choir has a home-away-from- home- type atmosphere. As Choir Director Greg Horton states, "the purpose of the ECU Gospel Choir is to allow the mi- nority students of East Carolina University, who come from all different cultural backgrounds, the chance to express themsel ves in song. The reason why we sing gospel music is because for many of us, this is the root background of our culture The ECU Gospel Choir is a collection of 105 rather unique voices. Whenever you have time, take a look and listen at some of the most beautiful voices on cam- pus. The object of the choir is not to preach, but instead to sing songs of joy and praise. Katina Walker of the ECU Gospel Choir was one of the many performers at Wright Auditorium on Sat. night at the choir's 11th Annual Celebration.

This band has been noted to lift spirits in crowds with their unique music, and this happiness could be seen spreading throughout the Attic. The wide variety of music�any- thing from folk music to jazz� amazes crowds. The band has had a busy past year playing in the well known HORDE Festival with bands like Blues Traveller and Widespread Panic. They released their debut album Remember Two Tiling in November 1993 and re- cently made a deal with RCA. They will start recording their new RCA album in May and June. All of these events have increased Photo Couitesy of Ambrosia Healy With the release of Remember Two Things, the Dave Matthews Band appears to be on the verge of becoming the next 'bg thing popularity for the Dave Matthews Band, which showed here in Greenville with a sell out show. Every member of the band is talented in their own way. Matthews said they all met in a bar in Virginia where he was a bartender, and he said he ap- proached the musicians he re- spected most.

Curtains go up for the sec- ond annual "Black Voices from the Past" at 8 p.m Wed Feb. 16. The play traces the major periods and lives of those who have helped to shape black his- tory, from the great African empires to theongoing struggles for equality. The program con- sists of students portraying key, black figures of different time periods, traditional African- American dance, spirituals and poetry. The show provides a brief synopsis of what blacks have done for the world. Black Thespians of ECU began as an idea of English pro- fessor Reginald Watson in Feb- ruary of 1993. Watson wrote the play in order to "educate the student body about black his- tory The p roduction will be held in room 244 in Mendenhall Stu- dent Union, and there is a $2 charge at the door. Proceeds go to benefit the Ledonia S. Wright Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was estab- lished in 1984 by friends and coUeaguesof Mrs. Wrightand is given annually to deserving blacksrudentswhoattendECU. Wrightwasoneofthefirstblack faculty members at ECU, and she worked diligently to en- hance student life for minori- ties. Over 200 people attended lastyear'sproduction,and more than that are expected this year. Watson believes that "if we can educate and entertain at the same time, then we've reached our goal Return to Paradise brings important subjects to surface (AP)-Reading Breyten Breytenbach's Return to Paradise (Ha rcourt Brace, S22.95) is like meet- ing a fascinating person at a dinner party and going away feeling that the conversation and exchange of ideas were the real feast. But one also feels almost overstuffed, with so much to ab- sorb at once. Breytenbach is an Afrikaner poet, prose writer and artist. He first left South Africa in 1960 for Paris, where he married a Vietnam- ese, Yolande, thereby breaking the fundamental apartheid tenet against mixed marriages. He also joined the fight against mandatory racial separation and became per- sona non grata. And he made a name for himself as an artist and writer. Breytenbach was allowed to return for three months in 1973, then returned clandestinely in 1975 and was arrested and imprisoned for seven years as a terrorist. In 1991, after many things had changed, he made his Return to Para- dise legally for three months. He traveled South Africa from stem to stem, ga thering with friends, speaking at universities, hiking in the mountains, seeing Iris family, visiting his parents' graves. One might wish the book had a map, to follow his itinerary better. But it does have a useful list identifying the people and organizations he al- ludes to throughout. Meet not only F.W. DeKlerk and Nelson Mandela, but Enos Mabuza, the shy Christian chief minister of the KaNgwame home- land, coping, amid its poverty, with refugees from the war across the border in Mozambique. Or the late Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso, who the author holds in high esteem. Or Jan Walker, African adventurer and dealer of French origin who sports a wooden hand to replace one he lost, and keeps popping up at unexpected mo- ments. One is aware of the poet's love of words, the artist's eye and the South African's love of his See PARADISEpage 7 6 s Don't Buy CD Reviews Worth A Try CD Reviews CD Reviews i �XV Take Your Chances AlW Definite Purchase AW Shorten Knife Rock Animals � m m m Shonen Knife is back! Yes, everybody's favorite Japanese post- punk girl group hasblessed us with a new release. Their odd blend of early "60s pop sty lings and late "70s punk rock guitar is as fresh as evet it's runtime again! This time out, the album is called Rock Animals,which refers to both the band and the album's al- most-title-track "Concrete Ani- mals This song is about those little animal statues that you see in parks. And that's all it's about. No, really. No metaphors, noclever wordplay, it's just about what a neat idea it was to put those things in parks, and how cool it is to sit on them and pretend you're riding a giant rac- coon. Perhaps now would be a good time to mention the simplicity of Shonen Knife's music. Singer songwriter Naoko Yamano gener- ally writes songs about stuff she likes, with no particular interest in being "hip" or "cool" or any other arbitrary social constructs. Which of course is what makes Shonen Knife so transcendentlv cool in the first place. Anvway, RecA. Animals is a collection of simple songs about simple things. Take the first track, "Quaver for example. It's a story of unrequited love, about how some guv makes Naoko turn to jellv in- side, and how she wants to do the same to him While there seems to be some underlying theme of sexual equality here, "Quavers" is really just an honest song about attrac- tion, with a slightly raunchy punk rock edge that lets us know they're talking about sex. Other super-cool tracks in- clude "LittleTree an environmen- tal song that draws a comparison between caterpilfers earing leaves and Caterpiller tractors knocking down forests,and "Catnip Dream about cats getting high on their cat- nip toys. Also neat is "Tomato Head a surreal piece about how Naoko drank so much tomato juice that she started to photosynthesize in her sleep one night! Maybe the band's been hitting that catnip, too. Roek Animals drags a bit at this point. As engaging as Shonen Knife's sound is, at four minutes to a track, it can get a little tiresome To make matters worse, a lot of slow songs are strung together in the middle,and this lackofvariety hurts the album. 1 uckily, however, the Knife gives us that variety with the last two tracks. "( obra Versus Mongoose" is about a gathering to see the title animals fight, but the battle never comes off and everybody goes home with some bottled snake- oil. Thus one's a blistering head- banger, with a grinding guitar bridge that sounds like it was lifted from the last Metallica album. In another vein entirely is "Music Square the final track. It's an acoustic piece about play- ing guitar and falling in love at a music festival It's nice and peace- ful, and it's a good way round out the album. With simple melodies and I vrics so honest, they hurt, Shonen Knife has won over even my jaded heart. Now don't get me wrong. I still love my dark, brooding alter- native rock heroes. 1 couldn't live without the cynicism of Nirvana or the nasty wit of Sonic Youth, but Shonen Knife is a welcome respite from the dark side. � Mark Brett February 15, 1994 The East Carolinian 7 Groupie makes herself known CGi PHILADELPHIA (AP) � Pamela Des Barres considered her- self a "geisha girl" in the 1960s, a companion to some of the biggest names in rock 'n' roll. But to the rest of the world, she was merely a groupie. Her book of memoirs, I'm Witli the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, brought another label�best-selling author. Now comes the paperba k edi- tionofthe45-year- old Des Barres' sec- ond book, Take Anotlier Little Piece of My Heart. While the 1987 memoirs chronicled Des Barres' freewheel- ing life in the '60s, her latest is a more sobering look at her life in the '80s and '90s. The author married British singer-actor Michael Des Barres in 1974. He was never very successful, although he did front the defunct band Power Station at the Live Aid show in 1985. Michael abused alcohol and drugs, and had several extramarital affairs which finally led to the disso- lution of their marriageafter 13 years. He's now sober, and the two remain close friends. They had a son, Nicholas Dean, in 1978, and the difficulties they had with him make up a good portion of the book. Now 15, Nicholas is a gifted but troubled child. Des Barres admits she trans- PARADISE ferred some of theextreme devotion she lavished on Michael to her son. "I just prav I haven't ruined him, because he's seen Michael ver- ballv abuse me, he's seen me kow- towtohimshesaidVVetalkabout it a lot, because I want him to know that I know I (messed) up, and I'm sornTdidn'tgiveany more bound- aries. "He is a troubled genius she said in an interview from her home Los 1 always thought of it as history, even when I was living through it. " Pamela Des Barres in Angeles. Mh las is do- ing better these days, and so is Des Barres. She's da t- ingsinger Jimmy Thrill, 25, but she admits that her pastsometimescomesback to haunt him. "People will come up to him and say things like, 'Oh, Pamela Des Barres is your girlfriend? Didn't she sleep with all of Led Zeppelin at once?' That kind of thing to deal with is hard, but still, I want the world to know that I am not ashamed Back in the '60s, Pamela Miller wormed her way into the backstage world of major rock bands as they passed through Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. She had love affairs with everyone from Mick Jagger to Jim Morrison to Keith Moon to Led Zep- pelin guitarist Jimmy Page and oth- ers � even a then-unknown actor named Don Johnson. Under the tutelage of Frank Zappa, she became Miss Pamela in the GTOs (Girls Together Outra- geously), a girl rockgroup that had its own groupies. She dabbled in acting, danced with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, sewed cowboy shirts for musicians suchasGram Parsonsand was nanny to two of Zappa'schildren. She even posed for Playboy when she was nearly 40. I'm With the Band was an out- landish encyclopedia of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll with graphic de- scriptions of Des Barres' sexuality and numerous affairs. "It's history � I always thought of it as history, even when I was living through it Des Barres said. "This was a time you could do those things. ThLs was when you could get away with it, and in the world I was in, you were supposed to do it � experiment and have fun The groupies of the '60s and '70s were in a different league than today's, she said. Now those who want to get close to bands have to sexually work their way through roadies to get to the stars, if they get to them at all. "When I was doing it, there was no word for it � we just wanted to meet the guys who played the mu- sic she said. "There was nothing that happened first, with roadies or people at doors or anything that you had to encounter "Death and business ruined the backstage scene she said. native land in the often beautiful descriptions of the spots he revisits. For instance, "The sun drops like a coffee-bag into the kettle and soon night is stained black" he writes at one point. "Here you do not have long evenings like in Europe His account of the 1991 trip is MATTHEWS interspersed with memories of pre- vious experiences in the same place, or with the same friends and ac- quaintances. Breytenbach finds the paradise he visits a flawed paradise. Blood still flows: black against black, white against black, black against white. The flaming idealism of revolution must now be that of reconciliation and evolution around conference tables. And, as Breytenbach admits, he'sactually an outsider, an exile; he doesn't live there anymore, although he will visit there.

TheNewsCamera 2000doesnot useextemal batteries and cables that were cumbersome for many news photographers. Thecompanies have also improved thelightingcolorand storage capabilities of the machine over previous generations of digital cameras. A digital, or electronic, camera stores an image the same way com- puters store data. With such a cam- era,nochemical processing of film is required, saving time for photogra- phers trying to meet a deadline. An image can be taken and transmitted on a network within a few minutes. The machine is a modified Nikon 35 mm camera with a pack at the bottom for battery and storage diskette. Eachdiskettecanhold60to 70 images, which can then be viewed on a personal computer. "The name of the product re- ally sums up the market said David Tomlin, director of technol- ogy marketing for the AP. "But we are sure there are applications out- side news such as la w enforcement, science and medicine and a variety of corporate environments where speed and quality are important The camera has a list price of $17,750 but will be available to members of The Associated Press for $16,500.

Beauford says he was raised on jazz and he adds this dimension to the band with his groovy beat on the drums. Leroi Moore plays woodwinds and has been a jazz compratiot of Carter's for years. Matthews found bass player Stefan Lessard when he was only 15 and playing in night clubs. Matthews said, "he just had a feeling about him, his spirit, his sense of music, it's so much beyond his years The violinst, Boyd Tinsley, is the livewire of the band with his fast�paced style. Tinsley says, "When I'm really into the music, my whole body, my whole soul's into it The Attic crowd went absolutely crazy when Tinsley cut loose on his violin during the show. The band takes all these different music influences and creates posi- tive, inspirational songs. The band's bus broke down on the way to the Attic so they arrived a little late. No one would have known they were run- ning late by the terrific show they displayed. They played a first set of uplifting music for about an hour and a half and took a short intermission. Shortly after the band left the stage, the crowd did not wait long to start yelling and calling the band back for more. In their next set, they played some songs that had the crowd really into it. One song is called "Satellite which is a slower song with a great beat. This song really shows off Dave Matthews' musical talents with the different notes he hits-high and low-during this song. One of their most popu- lar songs, "Ants Marching had the crowd begging for more with Boyd Tinsley's intense violin solo.

Going into last night's game, he was averaging 16.6 points a game. Staff Writer Lester Lyons is back. The senior guard from Lewiston, N. C. scored 20 points last night to help the Pirates scalp the Tribe of William & Mary, 80-63. Lyons, along with junior center Anton Gill, who led all scorers with 21 points on nine of 13 shooting, helped ECU move to 6-5 in the CAA, and 14-9 overall. The win was monumental for both Lyons and ECU, who lost a heartbreaking game to Old Domin- ion on Saturday, with Lyons scor- ing just seven points. The win in- sures the Pirates of only their sec- ond winning season in the past decade. "I think the three thousand or so people that were not here to- nightwho were here Saturday night missed a pretty good game Head Coach Eddie Payne said following the game. "We played well I thought. Anton Gill was very, very good in the second half, obviously scoring 19 points. Over the last nine games he is averaging over 18points a game and shooting over 62 per- cent. He is proving to me that he is definitely an all-conference per- former "It was good to see Lester come out and play after a real, for him, poor perf ormance "I really wanted to pick things up Lyons said. "I only have four or five games left, and you can't have six and seven point games in the last games of the year The Pirates never trailed in the game. A 3-pointer by Lyons to start Gilll's 19 second-half points help Pirates drop Tribe the Pirates scoring would be his first of three treys on the night. William & Mary's Matt Verkey (17 points) tied the score at three and would be the closest that the Tribe would get. EastCarolina went on a 15-3 run against W&M, getting help from freshman Tim Basham, who scored nine points, all coming from 3-pointers. The Pirates went up by 13 on a Lyons 3-pointer with just over 13 minutes left to play in the half. The Tribe rallied back, though. Sparked by an in-your-face jam over Pirate guard Skipp Schaefbauer by W&M's Kurt Small. It helped the Tribe pull to within six points with eight minutes left to play in the half. Schaefbauer got his pride back though, nailing a 3-pointer from NBA rangebefore the half wasover, giving ECU the 33-23 halftime lead. The second half was single- handedly dominated by Gill. Scor- ing nineteen points and cotrolling the paint for the Pirates, Gill helped ECU keep the lead in double-digits virtually the entire second half. The Pirates kept up the job of stopping the Tribe's Kurt Small. Small, a pre-season all CAA selec- tion, was held to just 11 points on five of 16 shooting from the field. ECU kept the Tribe from scoring inside, primarly by swatting shots as easily as if they were swatting flies. The Pirates had a total of nine blocked shots on the night, three coming from the alwaysemotional Chuckie Robinson, who never failed to let the Minges crowd know when he was pumped up. East Carolina ended the game by displaying some above-the-rim magic. First, it was Gill, slamming it home despite having W&M's 6- foot-8 David Cully on his back, fol- lowed by a Lyons jam that brought the remaining fans to their feet.

American (7-13,2-6 CAA), who also broke an 8- game losing streak to East Carolina, got 20 points from Wilkins and a career high 19 from Greenfield, 14 of which coming in the first half. Ally Baker added 12 points while Tiffany Turner pulled down a team high 10 rebounds for the Eagles, who broke out of shoot- ing slump (32 percent in last seven games) hitting 47percent of their shots from the field. The Eagles were sparked by the return of leading scorer and rebounder Kirsten Keller who re- turned to action with 8:12 left in the game after missing five games with a knee injury. East Carolina (2-16,1-7 CAA) who extend their losing streak to eight games, was led by Tomekia Blackmon's career-high 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Tracey Kelley added 12 points and 11 re- bounds, while Justin Allpress also added 12 points. The Eagles out-scored the Pi- rates, 13-7, in the overtime follow- ing a 67-67 regulation deadlock. AU was aided by the return of Kirsten Keller who kicked off the extra session with six straight points to put American ahead 73-67 fol- lowingherfour-pointplay. Keller's driving lay up and subsequent in- tentional foul by ECU's Kelley gave the Eagles the cushion before hit- ting 7-of-12 free throws in the over- time. American's Greenfield forced overtime with a 12-foot baseline jumper with :25 seconds remain- ing. East Carolina's Allpress hit a similar jumper eight seconds ear- lier, at :33, to put the Pirates up briefly at 67-65. American opened up the sec- ond naif extending their 39-34 lead to 50-40, their largest of the game, on Wilkin's three-point play at 16:40. However, the Pirates used a 13-0 run to storm back and take their own 4-point lead late in the game. With the Eagles ahead 57-48 after a Wilkins three-pointer, Blackmon went to worK with four points including the go ahead bas- ket, 58-57 at 7:56. Danielle Charlesworth's three-point jumper concluded the run, putting ECU ahead 61-57 with 5:34 remaining. American who shot 50percent, took a 39-34 halftime lead behind Greenfield's 14 points while ECU was led by Blackmon's 12 points. East Carolina opened the game breaking out to a 13-4 lead follow- ing Cagle's lay up at 15:35.

ODU fought back from a 13- point second-half deficit to get the victory. The Monarchs held Lester Lyons, who had been averaging 16.7 points a game, to just seven points. "We had great balance to- night ODU head coach Oliver Purnell said after the game. "Kevin Larkin 14 points, probably exem- plified our type of play with floor- bum type defense. Kevin Swann 11 points did a great job of con- trolling things for us. I thoughtOdell Hodge 18 points, 14 rebounds wore them down in there. Mike Jones 16points and Petey Sessoms 13points knocked down the shots from the outside "It's real disappointing to lose a game like that when you give a great effort ECU head coach Eddie Payne said. "I felt that once we got up by 13, we quit playing and doing me things that got us ahead. We got in a rush and lost our sense of our tempo that we wanted. We shot the ball quicker and that's when we got out of transition. Tonight we got too excited, and we were in too big of a hurry, evidenced by thatstretch � See ODU, page 10 Photo by Harold Wise The Pirates are heading into the home stretch of the regular season with only one home game remaining against Richmond on Feb. 23.

"The tendency oflndiana judges and Indiana politicians is to reject outside influence said Hal Pepinsky, an attorney and criminal justice professor at Indiana Univer- sity. "They resent (Dershowitz) try- ing to tell mem what they should do. They sure aren't going to take it too kindly if he's caustic. "The showmanship really doesn't do Tyson any good Two years after Tyson was con- victed of raping a beauty pageant contestant in an Indiananpolis hotel room in 1991, theformer heavyweight boxing champion still sits in jail. But Dershowitz lias won a new round in court. He will get a chance to argue at a June hearing that prosecutors knew, and should have told the jurors, that Tyson's accuser planned to sue the boxer and make money from the case. Even if Tyson is granted a new trial by Judge Patricia Gifford of Marion County Superior Court, he will be just 11 months away from his May 1995 release from the Indiana Youth Center. Friends say Tyson has lost faith in the legal system and now spends his prison time rea ding and studying in hopes that an education will win him early release. "His spirits are very high con- sidering that he feels he's in jail un- justly, that he's innocent, that some- how forsome reason he'sbeing used as an instrument said boxing pro- moter Don King,oneof Tyson'sclose friends. Another Tyson friend, the Rev. Charles Williams, said the boxer will try to pass the general equivalency degree test next month. If Tyson, 27, receives a GED, three months will be deducted from his six-year sentence, said Phil Slavens, a spokesman for the Youth Center. That means he could be re- leased as early as next February. Tyson passes time at the prison west of Indianapolis in class orstudy- ing, his friends said. At night he stud- ies, worksoutand makescollect calls to friends. Williamssaid Tyson enjoys read- ing history and philosophy. He also is fascinated with China, and a tutor comes to the prison to teach him Chinese, said friend Muhammad Sideeq. "He has just constantly said he's a new person, a brand-new person. Most people won't recog- nize him Sideeq said. Tyson had some disciplinary problemswhenhefirstgottoprison, but has not gotten into trouble in the last year, Slavens said. The former champ has kept his weight around 220 and trains at least twiceaday, Williams said. He runs in the prison gymnasium for 45 minutes and does up to 45 min- utes of calisthenics in his 8-by-10 cell each day. "He looks like he's in the best shape of his life Slavens said. t�mwrti if�maii i February 15, 1994 The East Carolinian 9 Pippen shines without Michael Jordan MINNEAPOLIS (AP) � You could never really be sure about Scottie Pippen, not as long as Michael Jordan was around. Take Jordan away from the Chicago Bulls, the reasoning went, and Pippen might wilt un- der the pressure. Wrong. Any doubts that might have lingered about Pippen were erased Sunday night when he emerged from his retired teamma te's considerable shadow by scoring 29 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and making four steals to lead the East over the West 127-118 in the NBA All-Star Game. Pippen was a unanimous choice as the game's most valu- able player, an a ward Jordan won only once in eight All-Star ap- pearances. "It wasn't a statement, but maybe it was a past-due judg- ment Pippen said. "With Michael on the club, it overshadowed some of the guys like Horace (Grant), BJ. (Armstrong), and to some extent myself. It's time we were all rec- ognized as All-Stars Although the East roster in- cluded seven players making their first All-Star appearances, three regulars � Pippen, New York's Patrick Ewing and Cleveland's Mark Price � showed why they keep making the learn. Ewing and Price each scored 20 points, and they combined with Pippen and first-year All- Star John Starks to stop a West rally that reduced a double-digit East lead to one point midway through the fourth quarter. It was the first time an AU- Star team had three 20-point scor- ers since Tom Chambers, Rolando Blackman and James Worthy did it for the West in 1987. Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon and San Antonio's David Robinson led the West with 19 points each. Seattle's Shawn Kemp grabbed 12 rebounds, and Utah's John Stockton � who was co-MVP (with Karl Malone) of last year's game � had 13 points and 10 assists. "Scottie's performance was tremendous said East coach Lenny Wilkens of Atlanta. "I thought he, Mark and Patrick were the steadying forces down the stretch In a game that frequently is devoid of strategy, Wilkens used rotations that took advantage of the four sets of teammates on his roster. He often had three Knicks (Ewing, Starks and Charles Oakley) or three Bulls (Pippen, Armstrong and Grant) on the floor at the same time. Atlanta's Dominique Wilkins and Mookie Blaylock also got playing time together, as did New Jersey's Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson. "There are certain things in the NBA that all teams do, and we tried to get sets going where they knew how to play with one another Wilkens said. Wilkens relied on the New York trio when it mattered most. After the West closed to 108-107 on Robinson's foul shot with 7:17 left, Ewing made a short follow- up shot and Starks sank an 18- footer that widened the lead to five. Robinson responded with a three-point play, but Starks an- swered immediately with a 3- pointer, one of a record 10 made by the East. P;ppen made five of them, one shy of the All-Star record Price set last year. The West never got closer than two after that, and the East clinched it on a crowd-pleasing, left-handed, alley-oop slam by- Orlando's Shaquille O'Neal on a pass from Pippen with 32 sec- onds left. It was easily the highlight of the night for O'Neal, the NBA's leading scorer, who missed his first 10 shots under heavy pres- sure from a West defense bent on keeping him from stealing the show. "We wanted to bring him down a notch one West all-star said. "He's not so arrogant now, that punk He finished with eight points and 10 rebounds.

So did Trent Dilfer, but on his own turf. Palmer,a triple- threat receiver from Alabama, and Dilfer, who led the nation in passing efficiency at Fresno State, were among more than 300 players at the annual NFL scouting combine, which ended yesteday. Most of the players went through the full battery of tests, including interviews and psycho- logical and medical evaluations. Some, such as Dilfer, declined the on-field workouts. "It's very simple he said. "I feel it's in my best interest not to work out when I'm not in the best shape I can possibly be in. "Right now, with the travel- ing I've been doing, the speaking engagements Ihaven'tbeen con- sistent with my workouts. I've thrown all the time, I've run, but I ha ven't done some of the things I'd like to do as much as I can. They can come in and see me work out and see the finished product, I guess Dilfer, quarterback Heath Shuler of Tennessee, running back Marshall Faulk of San Diego State and defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson of Ohio State, all of whom are projected to go early in the first round of the April 24-25 draft, were among those who came in for the early testing but chose to schedule private workouts for the scouts later. Palmer, however, saw thecom- bine as a big opportunity. "It's going to help me a lot he said. "If I go out and run a good time, I think it'll move me up in the draft. It's very important to me how well I do here Palmer, who finished third in voting for the Heisman Trophy, was a dazzling receiver for the Crimson Tide, totaling 1,000 yards on 61 catches last season. He also ran the ball, returned punts and kickoffs and even played some quarterback. "It was just something I did to help my team he said. "We didn't pass the ball a lot, but I always wanted the ball in my hands, and playing all the posi- tions got the ball in my hands. Our quarterback went down, and I think I played in three games as quarterback. I played quarterback in high school, so there was no doubt I could play on the college level He doesn't plan to play quar- terback in the NFL, however. "I just want to catch it and run some reverses. Going into! ledraft, returning punts and kicks will be my biggest assets, and I think it will help me make it in the league if I can run reverses and catch passes too he said. The6-foot-5,230-pound Dilfer hit 65 percent of his passes for 3,276 yards and led the nation with a 173.1 quarterback efficiency rating last season.
