Mendenhall housekeepers had a long day yesterday cleaning up a sewage back-up in the basement. TJhe flooding was caused by an ex- cavationprojectonCotancheStreet. Greenville util- Photo by Cedric Van Buren No bowling today! The staff at Mendenhall work feverishly to clean up the mess created by Greenville's Public Works Department. Not only are they tearing up our street, they're trying to drown us. ity workers were able to solve the prob- lem by plug- ging an aban- doned pipe which had been sending over- flow through the main, said Lee Johnson of Greenville Pub- lic Works. Base- mentarea pipes mmmmmm began backing up around 10 a.m. and covered over half of the base- ment area within half an hour, said Jesse Battle, housekeeping super- visor in Mendenhall. "It was just a terrible mess. Imagine the water that you would normally expect to see in a sewer line, backing up into the building said Rudolph Alexander, assistant vice chancellor for student life. "If it had continued, it would have covered every square foot of the downstairs area said Alexander. "We were able to keep it from getting into the north wing of the building The basement wasblocked off all day while housekeep- ers mopped and scoured the area withhotwa- terandsani- t i z i n g agents. Working ??? conditions felt like a sauna because air condi- tioning systems were shut down to help prevent water damage. Thebilliards room was closed, and bowling classes were canceled. Elevatorservicewas also shutdown due to water accumulation in the shaft, Alexander said. Imagine the water that you would normally expect to see in a sewer line, backing up into the building. 99 Rudolph Alexander Asst. V. Chancellor, Student Life "Out of 16 years of being here I think we have to do some- thing like this a t least once a vear Battle said. "This is probably the worst we have seen in past years we had to clean up and then disinfect to make sure the germs were killed. It didn't get all over but in certain areas you could really smell it Housekeeping staff had the sewage problem under con- trol within two hours, and by 3 p.m the basement was almost completely disinfected. "We have to make sure the students are safe as possible Battle said. "Housekeeping should be commended for the work they've done to get rid of the sewage said Betty Hardy, di- rector of operations at Mendenhall. "That's not a pleas- ant job The entire basement area will be fully operational by Thursday morning, Hardy said. Damage estimates will not be known until the clean-up is com- plete . Several areas will be evalu- ated for damage. Nobody home at the Media Board By Jason Williams Assistant News Editor The ECU Media Board "shall be the publisher of all stu- dent-sponsored publications at East Carolina University includ- ing, but not limited to, The East Carolinian, Buccaneer, Rebel and Expressions; and shall be respon- sible for the Photo Lab and radio station WZMB So reads the constitution of the Media Board, an organiza- tion made up of representatives from different organizations and departments on campus. The board is charged with selecting the heads of the various media and appropriating funds. These media cannot obtain money without first going be- fore the board to request addi- tional funding. The board then votes on the measure, with a simple majority needed for ap- proval. Like any legislative body, the Media Board requires a quo- rum to take action on a measure. According to the Media Board Constitution, "A quorum shall consist of four students and ei- ther the faculty member or the administrator For the three meetings thus far this semester, the Media Board has failed to produce a quorum twice and as a result, could not conduct business. The only time the board had a quo- rum, for the second meeting on Feb. 10, there were five student representatives present. For the three meetings, onlv Susan Stewart, the Student Union representative and Me- dia Board chair, has attended all of them. Rudolph Alexander, assistant vice chancellor for stu- dent life and Julie Natale, finan- cial advisor to the board, are the only other members who have been present at each of the three meetings. Several members of the board have missed all three meetings. ABLE President Demetrius Carter, SGA repre- sentative Troy Dreyfus, Panhellinic Council President Tiffany Ferretti and RHA Presi- dent Janna McDonald have been absent for each meeting. Dreyfus said he missed the last meeting because of a con- flict with an SGA conference in Texas, but he usually tries to be there. "I take it seriously. I'm the only person on the Board that has worked on the paper and for WZMB. "I feel bad that no one showed up at the last meeting. I didn't even know they had the first one. I didn't get a memo- randum about it None of the other absent members returned phone calls. In addition, Dr. Alfred Matthews, vice chancellor for student life, has not attended any meetings this semester or dur- ing the fall. Matthews is an advi- sor to the board and ex officio member without a vote. Stewart said the members of the board have a responsibil- ity to fulfill their duties.

School U.S. Surgeon General returns to ECU By Tammy Zion Staff Writer Dr. Joycelyn Elders, surgeon general of the United States, will be speaking to the School of Medicine's graduating class in Wright Audito- rium, May 6. The convocation is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. "It's just wonderful said Dr. James Hallock,deanofECU'sSchool of Medicine. "She's the surgeon general. Someone of that stature speaking to our medical students upon their graduation, I think it's really out- standing Elders has visited ECUbefore. She spoke at the Chancellor's Fo- rum in 1992 while director of the Arkansas Department of Health. She was nominated to the sur- geon general's office in J' tly of 1993 by President Clinton. "I want to be the vo: ce and the vision of the poor and powerless Elders said during her confirmation hearings. "I want to change social concern about social problems that affect health into commitment Elders often speaks her mind on issues such as sex education in schools, banning tobacco sales to minors and extending health ser- vices to those in need throughout the country. Her forum on disease preven- tion and increased personal respon- sibility for individual health care is parallel toClinton'sproposed health care reform. "I want to change the way we think about health by put- ting prevention first Elders said. While working for the Arkan- sasstate health post, Elders increased early childhood screenings from 4,000 to45,000infouryears.Shealso elevated the number of infant im- munizations and increased prena- tal care for women. The oldest of eight children, Elders never saw a physician until her first year of college at Philander Smith in Little Rock, Ark. A church scholarship allowed her to attend the college at the age of 15. Elders graduated from Phi- lander Smith when she was 18 and soon after joined the Army where she trained in physical therapy. The G.I. Bill later sent her to the Univer- sity of Arkansas Medical School where she completed her residency in pediatrics. Elders also holds a master's degree in biochemistry and is board- certified in pedia trie endocrinology. Aides said Elders is unsure of what issue she will address for the graduates.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. on the day of the race and will cost $11. Religion seminar held By Jeb Brookshire Staff Writer Almost every day the news is full of examples of religious intolerance. Catholics and Protes- tants fight in Ireland. Muslims and Jews fight over land in the Middle East. On Monday Feb. 28, repre- sentatives of eight religious groups gathered to address the topic of religious tolerance. The program was called Religious Tolerance: An Explora- tion of Conflict and Agreement at the Turn of the Century and was sponsored by the ECU Philoso- phy Club and the Phi Sigman Tau honor society. Among the featured panel- ists were ECU professors Avtar Singh (Sikh), Umesth Gulati (Hindu), and Byron Coulter (Ti- betan Buddhist). Reverend Daniel Earnhardt (Protestant Christian) and Father Paul Vaeth (Roman Catholic), who are both chaplains of ECU student religious groups, were there. The other speakers included Rabbi Michael Cain (Ju- daism), Noria Namaz (Sunni Muslim) and Yvonne Frost (Church of Wicca). Earnhardt was the first pan- elist to speak. He began by outlin- ing what makes a religion accord- ing to the United Nations. These guidelines include assembling to worship, establishing a place to worship, practicing religious cus- toms, teaching religious beliefs, recognizing religious holidays, and several other examples.

Campus group forms to improve parking By Jason Williams Staff Writer Can't find a parking place? Tired of walking 15 minutes to class? A group of students are organizing to do something about parking on campus. STOrP, or Students Tired Of Parking Problems, held their second meeting Tuesday to hear from Lavton Getsinger, associ- ate vice chancellor for business affairs. Getsinger affirmed his commitment to finding a solu- tion to parking in the best inter- ests of the students. "My first priority is the bet- terment of this university Getsinger said. "I'm against rais- ing the parking fee right now, because there is no plan for that monev. We need a plan before we finance the plan. "The window of opportu- nity has come and gone. We've decided we're not going to raise the fee for this year. We've got between now and next semester to have a plan in place Getsinger mentioned that one of the ideas being consid- ered by the Parking Committee is a graduated parking fee in which prices would be higher the closer to main campus the spaces are. Getsinger said that stu- dents will have a chance to com- ment on the upcoming plan. Pat Gertz, director of Parking and Traffic Services, confirmed that a survey and several public hear- ings for students in residence halls are forthcoming. David Richmond, a junior political science major, founded STOPP to do something about the parking situation on cam- pus. "I hear a lot of people talk- ing about parking, arguing about parking around campus he said. "I just feel that we can do something to improve it Richmond said that the or- ganization has taken a number of stances on issues concern- ing parking. "We feel that the number of spaces should equal the number of stickers sold. That's our main issue. "We need a quick solu- tion, not a quick fix. If it takes a small increase in the price of stickers, and if that is going to increase our chance at getting a place to park, then I'll sup- port that. "Also, we are supporting surface lots over a parking deck at this time. The overall goal is definitely a parking deck, but, it's more feasible right now for us to go for the surface lots Richmond said. Departmental Profile: English Dept. By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer English is a lot more than Shakespeare, Poe and Thoreau. There is more to being an En- glish major than reading countless novels and learning the rules of grammar. There is also a major within the English department where one half of the course work involves writing. According to Dr. Donald Palumbo, chair of the English de- partment, an English ma jor is a great foundation for a person. "From a practical point of view, English is a good preparation because of its emphasis on commu- nication Palumbo said. "Every- body in the world has to communi- cate For those who enjoy reading novel after novel, there is a Bachelor of Arts degree in li tera ture. Courses include Major American Writers, Major British Writers, Women in Literature, Black Literature and Shakespeare. "People are attracted to the aesthetics of language and litera- ture Palumbo said. If this does not sound appeal- ing, there is a Bachelor of Arts de- gree with a concentration in writ- ing. One half of the course work involves reading, but the other half is based on writing. Choices of course work include Non-fiction Writing, Fiction Writing, Poetry and Writing for Business and Industry. Another degree choice in the Bachelor of Science degree for high school teaching. Course work in- volves literature, writing and edu- cation courses. A 2.5 GPA is re- quired for this degree. Many people associate En- glish with teaching, but career op- tions are unlimited. You can con- siderbecominga lawyer, researcher, consultant, medical doctor,business executive, writer, publisher or edi- tor. "People with liberal arts edu- cation tend to progress higher in their fields as opposed to a person with a technical degree Palumbo said. According to Dr. Paul Dowell, director of undergraduate studies in English, there are 69 full-time members in the English department. This does not include the graduate students who teach freshmen com- position. "Wearethebiggest depart- ment of campus, faculty-wise Dowell said. "We have had more university award recipients than any other department The Uni- versity Award is the highest award given by ECU at spring commencement. The award is given to the top all-around stu- dents. Also available through the English department is the Writ- ing Center. The center, located on the second floor of General Classroom Building, is available for students in freshmen compo- sition with below average writ- ing skills who are in need of some direction in their writing. But, the Writing Center is also open to any student who wishes to have help with their writing.

A mo- torist strafed a van packed with Hasidic jews with bullets as they drove over the Brooklyn Bridge, wounding four young men. Two of the victims had critical brain injuries. Police said the lone gunman opened fire with two 9mm semi- automatic pistols at three sepa- rate points, blowing out his own passenger side window before escaping into Brooklyn on Tues- day. A huge manhunt was un- derway as city officials tried to calm fears that Middle East ten- sions led to the attack. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said "no piece of information, hard evidence" linked the attack to Friday's massacre in a mosque in the occupied West Bank, where a Jewish settler from Brooklyn killed 35 to 50 Muslim worship- ers. But "obviously that's some- thing you can't exclude, and the speculation is there Giuliani said. Police searched for the driver of a light blue, four-door Chevrolet ? and for a motive. Members of the orthodox Lubavitcher Hasidic sect said the 15 young men in the unmarked van were clearlv identifiable as Jews because their traditional dress and hairstyles were visible through the windows. "It seems to us this was an act of terrorism said Rabbi Shmuel Butman, a Lubavitcher leader. Police Commissioner Will- iam Brattondiscounted the theory Clinton pushes education bill WASHINGTON (AP)?Un- deterred by rejection in the House, the Clinton administration is press- ing the Senate to concentrate fed- eral education dollars where they are most needed. "When you have a flood that threatens a levee, you give most of your attention over to sandbagging the weakest part of the levee you concentrate Education Secretary Richard Riley said in testimony pre- pared for a delivery Wednesday to the Senate Labor and Human Re- sources Committee. "Thathastobe true with education as well, and we have a flood of problems in our high poverty schools Theadrrunistration'sproposal to target 50 percent of the so-called Title I education funds for the dis- ad vantaged was rejected earlier this month by a House subcommittee. A greatly watered down version, which only increases targeting for funds over and above the 1994 ap- propriation, is included in legisla- tion being debated on the House floor. Ninety-three percent of the nation's school districts and two- thirds of the nation's schools re- ceive Title I funds. Because the pro- gram is spread so thinly, hundreds of high-poverty schools are left unserved. Riley acknowledged that un- der the administration formula, "some of the richer school districts will have to dig a little deeper in their own pockets to help some of their children That's whatkilled theproposal in the House. Rep. William Ford, D- Mich chairman of the House Edu- cation and Labor Committee, said it was nice to talk philosophy but he could not get the votes when as many as half the districts around the coun- try would lose money. "I am asking you to make some hard decisions Riley told the sena- tors. "But when you are in deep water, you need a long rope to get yourself pulled in. The same is true for these children President Clinton's 1995 bud- get calls for $10.5 billion for elemen- tary and second ary school programs, up $1 billion from 1994.

The shooting began at the on-ramp to the bridge. Poiicesaid the van's passengers screamed and prayed and tried to duck bul- lets. When the driver stopped to find out whathappened, the gun- man pulled up and fired again. That started a chase across the bridge, as the gunman riddled the van with bullets and shot out the windows before speeding away. Hey, Mo. See all the fun you've been missing since you've been gone.

Serb forces continue to attack Muslim enclaves in Bosnia SARAJEVO, Bosnia- Herzegovina (AP) ? Despite concessions to peace efforts in Bosnia, U.N. officials said Wednesday that Serb forces have intensified attacks on Muslim regions and denied permission for a relief convoy to travel to Maglaj. Bosnian Serb artillery con- tinue to hammer Maglaj, a Mus- lim enclave 50 miles north of Sarajevo, where 19,000 refugees have been under siege for most of the past year. Serbs denied permission for a humanitarian aid convoy to travel there Wednesday, said Lt. Col. Bill Aikman, the U.N. spokesman in Sarajevo. U.N. officials reported anti- tank rounds landed near Sarajevo's downtown Jewish cemetery this morning, but there was no word on who fired them. There also were reports of a stepped-up offensive against Bihac in Bosnia's northwest cor- ner, where Serbs support a small Muslim faction that has declared autonomy from the Sarajevo gov- ernment. The offensives contrast starkly to a truce that has held for three weeks in Serb-besieged Sarajevo, and to Tuesday's agree- ment by Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to allow the reopening of an airport at Tuzla, northern Bosnia, for U.N. aid flights. The Serbs attacks also come against the backdrop of agreement by Bosnia's Muslim and Croat factions to cease hos- tilities and form a confedera- tion. A preliminary accord was signed Tuesday in Washing- ton by Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic, Croatian For- eign Minister Mate Granic and Bosnian Croat representative Kresimir Zubak. atalog onnection SPRING BREAK SPECIALS QUANTITIES LIMITED!

Clashes with Israeli sol- diers broke out in Hebron again when the armv eased the curfew for two hours to allow people to shop, and a 17- year-old Pales- tinian was killed by a bullet in the neck. A young Arab also died in The youth in Jericho was killed by soldiers when about 400 people calling for the deaths of Jews attacked army vehicles and a police station with stones.

While a few militant Jews were being disarmed, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's ad- viser on terrorism, Yigal Pressler, urged Israelis to carry their weapons with them at all times to guard against revenge attacks. Israel radio said seven sot- tiers from communities around Nablus in the north were dis- armed and given orders to stay out of Palestinian areas. Several dozen settlers from Hebron and nearby areas on the West Bank have also been given orders lim- iting their movements. Police took away the set- tlers' gun permits and weapons found at their homes. But dis- armed militants would have little trouble obtaining guns from hard-line sympathizers if they wanted. Roughly one in 10 Israelis ? 220,000 civilians and 250,000 soldiers and police officers ? have permits for firearms. Although the seizure falls far short of Palestinian demands that all settlers be disarmed, the action is the harshest since Jews began moving into the territo- ries after their capture by Israel from Jordan and Egypt in 1967. Continued from page 1 should live within the constraints and convictions of their own be- liefs said Earnhardt. "People should be allowed to follow their conscience and have the freedom to doubt. Even if they doubt the presence of God Vaeth spoke next, beginning by identifying the threedefinitions of tolerance. They were to allow or permit, to put up with or bear, and to recognize and respect. Vaeth then said that the last defi- nition best described what was meant by religious tolerance. "Religious tolerance is not a matter of tolerance but a principle of religious freedom said Vaeth. "Every one is bound to seek the truth and you can't expect or force others to believe the same as vou Cain spoke third. He stated that it was God's wish for us to be tolerant and that we should help each other. He went on to say that according to a passage in the book of Genesis, everyone is created in the image of God and that every- one is one of God's children. "The more you study other religions he said, "the more you will believe in your own religion Coulter spoke next, mainly on the beliefs of Buddhism. He said Buddhists are the most toler- ant because the goal of Buddhism is to end all suffering. Some people do not consider Buddhism a reli- gion, but a philosophy. Practitio- ners are expected to live as close a life to Buddha as possible. LASZLO Coulter summed up his talk by saying, "In Buddhism you de- velop a loving kindness for all living beings Gulati spoke about the Hindu faith. Hindus regard dif- ferent religions as radii of a circle, the center being God. The farther these radii are from the center, the greater the difference is between them. Conversely, the closer the radii are to the center, the closer they are to one another. He en- couraged the audience to distin- guish between truth and false- hood, and to become better con- sumers of religion. "The essence of all religions is love said Gulati. "Love signi- fies unity and harmony, not ha- tred and division. Therefore, a true religious person can never hate because you cannot love God and hate another human being at the same time Singh spoke next, giving an overview of the Sikh faith. Singh stated that people are willing to kill other people due to conflict in beliefs or out of fear of something different. He also told the audi- ence that no one was willing to find out about other religions, just put them down. In Sikhism, God is manifest in all things. God is also omniscient and omnipresent. Frost caught the audience's attention the most. Frost was the represenative from the Church of VVicca. More or less the "craft as it is called, is witchcraft. In the craft, God is genderless and life is basically an assignment given to us after a previous life has ex- pired. Frostexplained that thecraft was the best decision for her; how- ever, she did not hesitate to ex- plain the philosophy of " if it ha rm none, do as you will a common craft belief. This comment was exemplified by the craft's practice of marriages in terms of contracts and "debt-free-sex " After practicing the era ft for 25 years said Frost "I am proud to say, yes, 1 am a witch Namaz,aSunni Muslim, was the last to speak. She stated that Islam encompassed all faiths and that the followers of Islam seek the truth. An explanation of Is- lamic beliefs was the focus of her discussion. She did mention that free-will was a big part of the Is- lamic faith and that Allah was the only true way to get to paradise. "Do not lend someone a deaf ear she warned Ra ther, be open and accepting of what they be- lieve The whole forum was best summed up by Dr. Gulati, a prac- ticing Hindu, when he said, "what we want is not just tolerance, but acceptance; tolerance implies su- periority, acceptance signifies equality. Open yourselves to all religions besides your own. Be steadfast in your own religion; over time it will manifest itself vour humanity. Ignoranceof other faiths will result in bigotry and violence Continued from page 1 own futures. "Folks should get involved she said. "The only way to change the future is to take part in making that change happen Laszlo says she entered the race because she is frustrated with the current government. "Too many of the politicians in Wash- ington have forgotten why thev are there and who thev were elected to serve. They have forgot- ten the sense of community, re- sponsibility, accountability and optimism that make our nation great As part owner and director of international marketing for Ella Bache, an international skin care manufacturing and distribution company thatexports to more that 20 countries, Laszlo has made her own mark in the business world. Based on this experience she hopes to reduce regulations for small businesses and provide incentives for job creation. Laszlo has also developed a company that trains public offi- cials to deliver cost effective pub- lic services.

MEDIA Laszlo's focus on national issues includes access to afford- able health care without a signifi- cant increase in the tobacco tax.

I think it was embarrassing Managers for the media on campus have had difficulty re- questing money this semester be- cause the Media Board has tailed to meet a quorum.

"We thought it was an important event that The East Carolinian ought to cover. We went before the Media Board to request the money, and they had to track down their members by phone. "At at least half of the meet- ings, there is not a quorum. We have matters of importance that need to be taken care of, and thev have to go through the same pro- cess because the people don't show up.

Well, honestly, it doesn't really matter, since they don't seem to be performing their duty. They generally act as the parents of all media on cam- pus. As parents, they hold the purse strings for media organizations. The Board isalso set up to discuss any problems each media group is having and to appoint heads of organizitions, but this becomes rather difficult when members don't show up to their own meetings. The Media Board consists cf representatives from SGA, Student Union, RHA DFC, PanheUenic, Minority StudentOrganizationartd variousother organizations. There must be i quorum of five to vote on any topic, as well as i faculty member or the administrator. Aside from Susan Stewart, Stu- dent Union Representative and Media Board Chairperson, and RudolphAlexander, Asst. Vice Chancellor for Student Life and Director of Uni- versity Unions, the attendance of members has been laughable. Themostappalingiackofattendancewason the part of Dr. Alfred Matthews, Vice Chancellor for Student Life. He has been absent from every meeting since last Jul. While Matthews does not have the privilege t vote on issues, he is an advisor and membfl" to the Board. And the re- sponsibility is still hat a replacement should be made to appear i his place, as every member should have a representative. While the Media Board meetings?or any meetings for that matter ?are hardly themosi happenin' place to be, if it is a responsibilif any mature adult should recog- nize the necessity in attending. Obviously, the re- quirement was included in the job description for a reason. Since so-called grown-ups (parents) think us "kids" should act in a more reliable fashion, maybe they should consider setting a good ex- ample first. The slack Med ia Board members hardly make me feel like attending my own meetings. It has been noted that at least half of the meetings have lacked a quorum. Since there are infinite matters to be voted on and discussed, what suffers with members' inconsiderate behavior are nottheirjobs,butthoseofuswhostruggletoputout viable publications and programs: Vie East Carolin- ian, Rebel, Expressions, and WZMB. In addition to this, those persons who must go before the Board seeking changes or what-not, usually can feel certain that these members have insufficient knowledge of media practices. Aside from Troy Dreyfus, SGA Representative, members often have little experience, if any, in the various media they control. And how can any one person, or even a handful of people, be expected to know what goes into a newspaper, a yearbook, a literary anthology, a radio station and a minority forum ? five very different types of media? The answer is: They don't. They can't be expected to, but that doesn't excuse a voluntary lack of representation for media decisions. The Media Board doesn't understand the very thing they advise. Instead, their interests lie in money, which is hardly the cause of any person who works in campus media. Corporate money- grubbers are one thing, slack corporate heads are quite another. By Gregory Dickens Generation X encompasses optimistic nihilists As maruging editor of the fine publicatwn that you hold in your hands, teceive lots of free- bies. It's a fumble facet of the job that I've leaned to live with, but don't worry none of what I get comes out ostudent fees or park- ing sticker money. I get offers and free issies of magazhes by mail aid, recently, I re- ceived anisue of Inside Edge For Men. This magaziie is aimed, axord- ing to thpress release hat ac- companied it, at"Gereration X" and written by members of "our" jeneration. These creators have forged a forum for "topics they you and mej want to talk about, Ike women, socializing, sports, rausic, and style Ths fabulous tome in- cludes articles with titles like "Hook Up "Perfect Date "Sports That Shouldn't Exist "Let's farty and "How To Solve Yaur Party Crisis Also included is a fashion layout with theoblijjatory number of women in very ittle clothing. All I have to say isthat, except for the last article I mentioned, I didn't like this magazine. Frankly, it's in- sulting. Th? idea of a lost genera- tion itself is insulting, honestly, and I never could buy the idea that everyone ages 18 to 29 is a social tossaway. We of "Generation X"? a rather ominous-sounding label; makesme think of nomenclature for action movie secret weapons and the balding, wild-eyed mad scientists tl at create them?have become distanced from those older than ourcollectiveaverage for debatable reasons. Somecon- Some consider us a generation doomed to wallow in our declining morals and codes of conduct where we speak freely of condom use and abortion rights sider us a generation doomed to wallow in our declining morals and codes of conduct where we speak freely of condom use and abortion rights, seriously discuss the pitfalls and glories of legalized drugs, and rejoice in Stimpy, Beavis, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Sharon Stone. Others believe us to be de- ??????mM void of self- awareness or historical conscious- ness and hope that en- tertainment agencies can teach us in lieu of a fi- nancially-de- pleted na- tional education system. Schindler's List , "Jeopardy and Oprah are set to replace history lectures, text- books and newspapers in the eyes of those who think the "X" in "Gen- eration X" symbolizes the best at- tempts people my age can make at a signature, since we are being given up for illiterate, dumb and apathetic toward learning. We have been inundated with psychoanalyncaHabels to the point where we can't say if we're perfec- tionists or compulsive-obsessives, people-persons or co-dependents. We're lost in self-awareness, not devoid of it. We want to "all just get along" and trash the generali- zations, since they, like all else to us, mean little. We have become optimistic nihilists. We're not sure what we're supposed to be and doubt the veracity of the trad i tions and beliefs of those who came be- fore, but we're determined to hustle, electric slide or sing the Brady theme on our way toward our Great Reward. We're portrayed as fresh- from-college layabouts who give up work to bike cross-country or climb mountains or roller blade our livesaway. We're 22-year-olds collecting basketball cards because they take us "to an extreme" of some sort. We relive our childhood through movies that reincarnate our favorite TV shows from past decades. We watch shows making fun of movies and we make up the target audience for video gamesys- tems. Hey, look, we're children! Is it any wonder the older genera- tions are fearful of us claiming au- thority as they grow older when we're perceived as adults acting as kids? We're not a lost generation, we're Barrie's Lost Boys. We fly and dive and live in violence that we just don't appreciate the horror of. We fight Pirates ? hey, wait a minute, weat ECU are Pirates! Sure! On weekends we gorge on beer, watch the combat of televised sports, and go after booty, uh, I mean, money. Yo-ho-ho, dude. Sounds fun, I'll admit. In con- trast toall that debauchery, if I spot a playground swing, the next hour is shot all to hell. But having no responsibility means having no authority or respect. I don't know many people who do not enjoy video games, science fiction movies, loud music or a decent cartoon. The office walls I share with the Opinion Editor are covered in such parapherna lia. But the items on the wall don't reflect my entire outlook on life. They're decorations,souvenirsand trinkets thatcatch my daydreaming eye for a minute or two before I return to my responsibilities. And the fact that I have my responsibilitiesand live up to them fairly well makes me cringe at the notion that all people my age (in- cluding the people I work, study and relax with) are slackers and punks. I guess it just proves you can't believe everything you read, if we could read. In fact, if you read this at all, you've busted a myth. Congrats, now go have a beer and watch "Animaniars By Laura Wright Grad students veritable gluttons for punishment A photocopied article from the January 1st issue of Newsday found its way to my desk the other day. Actually, it found its way onto the desks of many of the graduate students in what is known as "the bullpen the En- glish graduate student office in General Classroom Building. The article is about a con- tract between the state of New York and a union of about 4,000 graduate teachingassistantsat the State University of New York. The contract provides an increase in salary as well as a health insur- ance plan that will be provided by the university. The graduate students who teach and do re- search had complained about low pay and lack of health coverage, but university officials considered teaching assistants to be students instead of employees. After sev- eral years of resistance by SUNY officials, a graduate students' em- ployees union was certified last year. I read on to discover that not only to these graduate assis- tants receive tuition waivers, they also make stipends ranging from $7,000 to $15,000. Let me tell you a little about my job(s) as a graduate teaching assistant. I have a 20-hour assis- tantship and my duties are to teach a class of English 1200, work 10 hours as editorial assistant for a literary journal produced in the English department and work as a writing center coordinator (this means that I help students figure out how to use computers). For my 20 hours, which al- most always amount to 30,1 re- ceive $2,600 a semester or $5,200 a year. I do not get a tuition waiver and I am taking two classes. Need- less to say, $5,200 a year is not enough to live on, so I got a job as the assistant lifestyle editor of The East Carolinian and I also write opinion columns ? in case you had not noticed. With the help of a strdent loan, I am making it. Unfortunately, I had to quit the assistant editor job because I found that 1 was not having any time to study. I have comprehen- sive exams to take and a thesis to write if I want to get out of here sometime in the near future. But enough about my poor, pathetic and highly stressed-out situation. East Carolina University re- quires that all of its students take English 1100 and English 1200. Of all of the sections of 1200 of- fered this semester, well over 50 percent are taught by graduate students. 1 do not mean that they are ta ught under supervision of a professor I mean they are taught by graduate students who are given free reign. Graduate students who bring enthusiasm, excitement and new energy to classes that every- body else wou Id rather not teach. Everybody else, however, gets at least twice as much money to teach them. I do not know how gradu- ate assistants impact other de- partments, but I am relatively sure that if the English gradu- ate students up and went on strike, it could be a pretty pow- erful gesture. On short notice, it would be very difficult, I would think, to fill all of the "staff positions that are held by graduate students. And al- though we are considered "staff" on the course offerings information, we are considered students in all other respects. Even though I practically live in General Classroom Building, I can not get a staff parking space. The situation could be i ec- tified but it would take a united front on the part of graduate students. The problem with uniting is that most of us are here for about two years (al- though some ot us linger like bad odors for up to six) and so the face of the graduate stu- dent population changes even more quickly thun that of the undergraduates. By the time we realize how totaily screwed we've been and how hopelessly in debt we are, it's time to graduate. A fellow graduate student once told me that graduate school was turning him into someone that he didn't like very much. No time, no money and no sleep can do that to a per- son. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I am disappointed with the article in Tuesday's East Carolinian concerning the withdrawal of Mother Nature from the REALCrisisbenefit held last Thursday. As a member of Mother Nature, the quoted source for Steve Griffin's article and a former assistant editor at your paper, I wassurprised with thecontentof the piece. Not only were a few of Mr. Griffin's facts inaccurate, there were several missing. Thestory, as presented in Tuesday's paper, would lead TEC readers to believe that Mother Nature pulled their name from the bcTiefit an hour before the show in order to "cash in "ata fraternity party. This is not thecase. The organizers of the benefit were made aware a week before the show that Mother Nature was not interested in performing the 10:00 time slot we were allocated. This came from our experience at a Dream Factory benefit held in Greenville. Despite advertising, much of our regular audience showed too late to see us and weredisappointcd to have payed and missed our performance. To avoid our fans' dissatisfaction, we told the organizers of the REAL benefit that we would play only at a later time slot. After much debate and deliberation, the REAL Crisis center refused us that slot and we pulled from the benefit on Monday, Feb. 21. On the day before th show, the center contacted us with an apparent change of heart and offered us the desired time slot. We accepted and made plans to play the show. To our dismay, the organizers of the benefit called back at 3:30Thursday, the day of the show, and reneged on their offer. When we declined to play the second slot again, the organizers of the benefit re- moved us from the bill. Only after this did we pick up the fraternity engagement, booked as a chance to perform on a regrettably vacant night. I am pleased that the benefit was a success and congratulate the job that the other bands did. I am angered by the perception perpetuated in TEC about my band and myself. I resent the implications in the article that we are egotistical and unsympathetic. We regret the problems with the REAL center and hope we can participate in their future benefits. We did what we did only to protect our fans from precedented disappointment. I apologize for any inconveniences caused by this unfortunate si rua- tion. Warren Sumner To the Editor: Last week, I became aware that East Caro- lina University would not allow the ECU cheer- leaders and ECU dance teams to attend the Na- tional Cheering Competition even though both teams qualified. As a concerned and upset parent, I would like to know why. These students spent many hours practicing, giving up part of their Christ- mas vacation to be with family and friends and many early mornings and late nights, hoping to get a chance to qualify for this very important National Competition. Apparently there is a serious communica- tion problem at ECU. If it is the University's . policy not to support this type of competition then why weren't the students informed before approximately 45 of them put in a month of hard work practicing, hoping to compete na- tionally? They never knew they would not be able to compete even if they qualified! To qualify forlhe Nationals is a very big honor and an outstand ing accomplishment and would bring national attention to ECU. It up- sets me to know that cheering is apparently not . recognized as a sport at 1 iy other Universities do recognize it as a sport Mr. and Mrs. W.C.

The musical, a Stephen Sondheim-James Lapineproduction is a Broadway original. It is based on die French artist George Seurat's fa- mous painting, "A Sunday After- noon on the Island of La Grande Jatte Although Seurat's life was an inspiration for the play, the play it- self is fictitious. ActOneof "Sunday " takes place in 1884, where George (played by Adam Karsten) is sketching differ- ent people for his painting. His main svbject, both artistically and roman- tically is Dot, (played by Wendy Brown) who has childish dreams of being in the follies. There were 10 musical numbers in the first act, but the best were "Color and Light performed by Dot and George, "Beautiful performed by George and another cast member, and "We Do Not Belong Together per- formed also by Dot and George. Act Two takes place 100 years later in 1984, where George's great- grandson, George, also an artist, is exhibiting his performance piece, "Chromolume No. 7at an Ameri- can art museum. To find inspiration for his next work, George decides to visit the island where his great- grandfatner was inspired to paint "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte George gets a visit from the ghost of Dot, who tells him that he must move on and do what he wants artisticallv, not what the world ex- pects from him. The best number in ActTwowas"MoveQn performed by Dot and George. Overall, the performance of "Sunday" was good. With a strong supporting cast, actors Adam Karsten and Wendy Brown shined in their spotlight as two lovers who wanted tc be together but could not. Adam Karsten, who plays both Georges, has performed as El Gallo in "The Fantastics Jeffrey in "Godspell and Sonny in "Grease Wendy Brown, who plays Dot and Marie, George's grandmother, trained at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and went on to play Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz Annie in "Annie Get Your Gun and Val in "A Chorus Line "Sunday" was written by Stephen Sondheim and based on the book of the same title by James Lapine. The producers are Dennis Hitchcock and Circa '21 produc- tions. "Sunday in the Park" won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1985 and a N.Y. Drama Critics Circle for Best Musical in 1984. It was nomi- nated for 10 Tony Awards and won a Grammy for best show cast al- bum. "Sunday in the Park with George" was a superb musical with a great cast of actors, witty dialogue and soothing music. Irish Tenor to sing for St Patrick's NEW YORK (AP) ? When Frank Patterson sings about a man being shipped to an Australian pe- nal colony for stealing grain in' The Fields of Arhenry you feel centu- ries of Irish history weighing you down. Death, loss, exile, the po- tato famine, the Easter Rebellion ? the Irish songbook is rich with pa- thos. But Patterson, generally rec- ognized as the greatest living Irish tenor, is a cheer)' presence on stage and off. In concert he varies rhree- hankie ballads such as "Danny Boy" with an upbeat "My Irish Molly O" or a show tune. "My audience now expects me to do a certain repertoire Patterson said during lunch in Man- hattan. "The audience that follows me, they know what they want They want the great Irish songs. Then I can also include the odd classical song or something from shows, or interna- tional songs or inspirational songs Patterson spoke during a break from preparations for hisbusi- est time of the year, St. Patrick's Day. Scheduled performances include Carnegie Hall on March 14. To American ears even Patterson'sspeaking voice is beauti- ful ? soft, lilting, musical. He has a broad face with twinkling eyes and a nose and chin that vaguely recall Karl Maiden. Pa tterson estimates that his audience is 75 percent Irish. At a recent concert on Long Island, sham- rock-adorned sweaters were much in evidence, as were nun's habits. But it's not necessary to be Irish, or Catholic, to appreciate his velvety, lyric tenor and his evocative storytelling. In 1987, Patterson got a chance to broaden his following when John Huston offered him a part in The Dead. The film, which turned out to be the legendary director's last, was based on a story in James Joyce's "Dubliners Patterson had been signed to sing in the mov ie and was taken to see Huston, who already had audi- tioned dozens of actors for the role of tenor Bartell D'Arcy. "He looked terrible See IRISH page 10 Stegmonds classically rock Attic By Nathan Ellis Photo courtesy of The Stegmonds The band includes Pete Fredrick, Chocolate Thorn Cooper, Michael Thrower, Samuel Ross Earnhardt and Jeff "Sir Jeffrey" Alford III Staff Writer The Stegmonds' return to the Attic on Saturday night not only marked a homecomingfor the band but a reaf firmation of what they do best: play classic rock. The group's origins date back to 1987, when the chance meeting of two Greenville musicians spawned the popular cover band. Since then, some things have changed?the band's lineup and the introduction of original material, to name a few. However, one thing has not: The Stegmonds have remained rigidly entrenched in paying tribute to the genre of classic rock. But, taking into account the sparse crowd that attended the At- tic on Saturday night, one might wonder if a demand still exists in Greenville for their conceptualized, guitar-rock approach. There is no doubt that there is a place for clas- sic rock in today's music scene? See STEGMONDS page 10 m CD Reviews Musician Lynch continues to entertain Texan touts international sounds By Bridget Hemenway Staff Writer Music is an art form that can mean many things to dif- ferent people. For Ray Lynch it is a way to touch feelings not usually expressed. Although the name Ray Lynch may seem new, he has been reaching people through music for many years. This 50 year-old Texas native began his musical career very early with the piano. However, at the age of 12, he was inspired by the classic guitar which quickly be- came his passion. After three years of study- ing full-time in Barcelona, Spain, Lynch returned to Texas where he composed symphonic and chamber music, some of which was performed by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. While studying at the Univer- sity of Texas, a group of madri- gal singers invited him to join the group as a iutist. Within a matter of months Ray was well on his way to becoming an ex- pert Iutist. He then spent the next seven years performing with the Quartet and other groups that were at the core of New York City's revival of Me- dieval, Renaissance and Ba- roque music. Ray eventually went out on his own composing and per- forming. Today, members of the San Francisco Symphony Or- chestra join him in the studio to perform his colorful scores. Ray's use of acoustic and elec- tronic instruments creates a unique style which has reached and moved millions of music lovers. During a recent interview with The East Carolinian, Ray Lynch spoke about what he hopes people will discover through his music. "I don't believe you can visualize music as so many people try to do. Music is something to feel. Music is a window which gives us permission to feel at a level not ordinarily al- lowed When asked why he chose classical format over several other types of genres, he responded, "During ado- lescence I played in a rock and roll band and even at- tended backyard parties in Texas where Roy Orbison was playing but the music never touched the same emo- tions that the classic Renais- sance style did Lynch says that he is a perfectionist when it comes to his music. "I work by my- self in the studio putting ev- erything together piece by piece. I work sort of as an artist does with a plain can- vas. I paint something on the canvas, look at it for a while and then go back and add something to it See LYNCH page 10 Photo Courtesy of Wlndham Hill Ray Lynch has incredibly unique ways of looking at music and the music has remained popular around the world. i 5 5 Don't Buy JV Take Your Chances From Good Homes From Good Homes l Abent-over,happy man with a tail wavedatmefrom thecoverof the FromGoodHomescassette.

Ska hit it big in England after punk, but it never really crossed the Atlantic. A few dedicated fans caught on in the U.S. though, and turned the JamaicanBritish im- port into an American subculture. Soon ska fans began to work to- gether to establish a ska network and support their own under- ground. In Marchl993, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones became the first ska band signed to a major label. The Bosstones inked a seven-al- bum deal with Mercury, perhaps insuring that their punk-metal- traditional ska scheme will be- come the genre's major label tem- plate. Their latest CD single is called Simmer Down after the title track, a Bob Marley re-make. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have released two pre- vious albums, Ska Gore-the Devil and More and Don't know How to Party, which created a cult fol- See BOSSTONES page 9 The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Simmer Down For decades ska, the ancestor of reggae, went unnoticed by mainstream America.

Along with "Y & R" and "World CBS has television's oldest soap, "Guiding Light" (which came to TV in 1952), along with the newest, "The Bold and the Beautiful" (age: a not-that-young 7 years). All lhat,plus"ThePrice Is Right" (22 priceless seasons on CBS after a righteous run elsewhere). These five shows are the prov- ince of Johnson, who soon observes her own fifth anniversary helping keep CBS on top. She describes her job as one of daily maintenance. Although "the Price Is Right" with host Bob Barker "goes on its own speed, we're very involved in the soaps says Johnson, in New York to look in on "World" and "Light" (CBS' other pair originate from Los Angeles, where sheisbased). But even as CBS basks in Nielsen sunshine, there are those who say the future isn't bright for daytime soaps. Indeed, last fall Entertainment Weekly floated a trial obituary. The magazine reported that their total ratings have sunk 14 percent in the past five years ? and noted that a quarter-century ago, before cable be- gan chipping away at network audi- ences,everyToplOsoapscored higher i .tings than "The Young and the Restless" does today. How to check this erosion? The same way you confront other chal- lengesin daytime, Johnsonsays. With patience and commitment, two things sdd om seen m me fly-by-night world of prime time. "The rule of thumb, which is much different than a prime-time psychology, is that we've got a loyal core audience for our shows Johnson explains. That means we do everything we can to retool and rebuild the franchiseof a particularshow,rather than saying, 'Well, it's slipped a little in the ratings, so we'll put on a new show in its place You can't assume the audience will be there for that new show. "Daytime is glacial she says. "Something takes a long time to fail, and also a long time to catch on, because people don't automatically sample. Audiences may graze through the syndicated talk shows, but not through soaps. Loyalty is a big factor Seagal's On Deadly Ground 4"? vl (AP)-Steven Seagal seems the unlikeliest of action heroes. With his receding hairline, bland looks and flat voice, he resembles a smalltime stock- broker more than a moie enforcer. Yet a few movies have established him as a contender to Arnold and Sly. On Deadly Ground, which sold $12.7miIlionworthof tickets inits first weekend, will strengthen Seagal's position No matter that it's clumsily derivative,completelypredictableand leadenly directed by the star himself. Some of the lines might draw hoots from more sophisticated audi- ences. When the villain is captured and hanging from his heels, he chal- lenges, "Go ahead and shoot me The hero replies, "I wouldn't dirty my bulletson you He finds a nastier way to dispatch his enemy. Industrialist Michael Caine oper- ates a huge Alaskan oil complex which he is racing to complete so his mineral rights won't revert to the Eskimos. Seagal, an oil rigger and firefighter, is appalled by Caine's wanton disregard of the environment. He sides with the Eskimos and declares a one-man war on Caine, who calls up his own battal- ion of thugs. Filmmaker Seagal (his name ap- pears six times in the credits) borrows from numerous earlier films, from Dances With Wolves to Western serials. Seagal and his Eskimo companion, Joan Chen, race their horses through a forest, pursued by Caine's murder- ers. The pair arrive at a chasm. He leaves explosives on the ledge, and they leap their horses to the other side. The pursuers are foiled. The inevitable climax arrives with Seagal's destruction of the oil complex. He accomplishes this after wholesale killings of the personnel. The film ends with Seagal's oration in the Alaska state house about the fragile ecosystem. (Reportedly the speech lasted a numbing 20 minutes in preiewsandwaslater trimmed.) Not much can be said about the acting in "On Deadly Ground" ex- cept that Michael Caine seems to delight in the unrelenting meanness of his character. He sports a black hair-dye job, perhaps to underscore his villainy. Ed Horowitz and Robin U. Russo are credited with the script, and Seagal shares producer credit with Julius R Nasso and A Kitman Ho. The most impressive aspect of the film is Ric Waite's photography of the magnificent Alaskan land- scapes, a better argument for pre- serving our natural treasures than the movie's preachments. A Warner Bros, release, On Deadly Ground is Rated R for lan- guage and excessive violence. Run- ning time: 153 minutes, of which 11 j minutes are credits. BOSSTONES Continued from page 8 lowing. Pop music critic, J.D. Considine stated, "The Bosstones sound is loud, fast and aggres- sive, blending the brassy afterbeat groove of ska with the uncom- promising intensity of hard-core punk. Needless to say, the band's sound generates enormous activ- ity in the mosh pit. As a result, the Bosstones' adrenalized perfor- mances are widely touted as one of the most exciting live acts in alternative rock Dicky Barrett, of the Bosstones says on Simmer Down, "Bob Marley is an artist and mu- sician who we all agree is a ge- nius. From what I understand, he wrote the song to address unrest and turmoil that was taking place in Jamaica at the time. Our ver- sion addresses unrest and tur- moil we were experiencing at the time we recorded the song.

"Weloveit Patterson said. "We've made a lot of friends here, through our music LYNCH the continuing popularity of clas- sic rock radio stations is proof of that. In spite of this, the college music's ties to it appear to be much looser. The age of the patrons at- tending the show seemed proof of this; the middle-aged jeans-and- sneakers set greatly outnumbered the college students. In the context of today's alternative-dominated charts, however, the conservative and mild-mannered crowd came as little surprise. The five piece band, con- sisting of Pete Frederick on vocals and guitar, "Chocolate"ThomCoo- per on vocals and guitar, Michael Thrower on piano and organ, Samuel Ross Earnhardt on bass and Jeff Alford III on drums, seemed undeterred by the small showing. The veteran group lit into their rou- tine with enough flair to move the older crowd in the energetic yet serenelv reminiscent manner that covers of the Allman Brothers, Roll- ing Stones, Led Zeppelin and the Doors evoke. The band moved quicklv through their two sets, of- ten neglecting to pause between songs. The omission was under- Continued from page 8 standable, considering the satisfac- tion of seeing the crowd smile in recognition of a classic riff or bass line as opposed to a vocal introduc- tion. The only tunes that needed such explanation were the Stegmonds originals, and even those were obviously influenced by their cover selections and blended easily into theshow. Num- bers that stood out included the Doors' "Peace Frog" and a stomp- ing rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Hot Dog From an overall stand- point, the crowd seemed satisfied. They knew what they werecoming to hear, and The Stegmonds deliv- ered it. But, like the tuneful favor- ites they played, their musk seemed meant for a different generation then the Attic is used to. The seven years since their formation have wrought many changes in college music, and perhaps it has strained the once strong ties the Stegmonds had with downtown Greenville. Classic rock has its audience, but maybe it is time the Stegmonds tried different venues through which to contact them. His newest album, released in September '93, Nothing Above My Shoulders but the Evening is a portrayal of Lynch's feelings about human existence.

Currently, he is working on his fifth release which he says will take a while because he is such a perfectionist. When asked where he sees himself in five years, Lynch says, "I think more of where the music will be than where I will be in five years. I'll still be writing music, if I'm able.

Senior Lester Lyons (inset) hopes to have another opportunity to cut down the nets again. By Brad Oldham. Staff Writer The 1994 Richfood-Colonial Tournamen t begins this Sa turday, and, as always, anything can hap- pen. The decision as to whether Old Dominion or James Madison would be the regular season cham- pion came down to a coin flip. Both teams had identical confer- ence records, and both teams had beaten the same teams through- out the season. The Monarchs won the toss, giving them the top seed going into the tourney. This matches them up against the last place team of William & Mary. This will be the first game on Sat- urday at noon. ODU comes into the tourna- ment with a 10-4 record in the CAA, 18-8 overall. Head coach Oliver Purnell probably has the most talented squad of players in the conference. Led by sophomore center Odell Hodge, who will likely be CAA player of the year, the Monarchs definitely look like the team to beat. The 6-foot-9 Hodge was second in the CAA in scoring, with 18.3 points a game. He is an enormous force inside, pulling down 8.5 re- bounds a game, and averaging two blocked shots per game. He is also shooting 54 percent from the field. ODU also has 6-foot7 for- ward Petey Sessoms, averaging 17.2 points a game, and shoot- ing 42 percent from 3-point range. With Kevin Larkin and Kevin Swann in the backcourt, the Monarchs are stacked in the staring five. Their depth, on the other hand, is a bit lacking. Los- ing last season's CAA All-Rookie pick Mario Mullen did not help an already narrow roster. The Monarchs won the CAA tour- nament in 1992, but were upset in the first round of last season's CAA tournament by ECU. Facing the Monarchs won't See TOURNAMENT page 13 Track teams set to close season (SID) ? After dismal per- formances in the indoor season and the chill in the Greenville air this winter that kept the Pi- rate track team injured and undertrained, Bill Carson de- cided to forego the Indoor Last Chance meet held at George Mason this weekend. The vet- eran coach decided it was best to keep his runners home to focus on success in the outdoor season. "We're just going into an outdoor mode now Carson said. "We're going to take three runners to Florida next week- end (to the Florida Fast Times meet) to try to qualify Charles (Miles), but that's it for indoors Miles, Lewis Harris and Dwight Henry will make the trip to Gainesville, Fl. in hopes of NCAA qualification, but bar- ring a qualifying performance, the Pirate indoor season is over. The Pirates open their out- door season on March 19, at the UNC Invitational in Chapel Hill. The team will face competition from UNC, Appalachian St Princeton and Western Caro- lina. In Ladiesaction, EastCaro- lina sophomore runner Alexis Jacks set a new indoor school record in the 500 meters last Sunday at the George Mason University Last Chance Invita- tional with at time of 1:17.84. Her time just nipped Marvina Hamilton's time of 1:17.85 by one, one-hundredth of asecond tosetthenew record. The two have traded the record in the 500 meters all season long with Jacks ending the year on top. Next week will mark the end of the indoor season with four Lady Pirates traveling to New Haven, Conn, to compete in the Eastern Collegiate Ath- letic Association IndoorCham- pionships. Michelle Bullock will com- pete in the triple jump. Dava Rhodes and Tara Rhodes will compete in the 5000 meters and Cindy Szymanski will run in the 1000 meters. Bullock qualified with a jump of 11.67 meters. Dava Rhodes got in with a time of 17:34.36 and sister Tara made it with a time of 17:40.80. Szymanski qualified in the 1000 meters with a time of 2:58.89. Charles Miles Dava Rhodes Black coaches and NCAA officials talking once again (AP) ? Even though it was by phone and about all they agreed upon was to confer again, black coaches and NCAA offi- cials warring over reduced schol- arships and academic eligibility are at least talking to each other again. Under the auspices of fed- eral mediators, they held a 2172- hour conference call Tuesday night, seven weeks after mem- bers of the Black Coaches Asso- ciation threatened to boycott Di- vision I-A basketball games over the NCAA's refusal to restore a 14th scholarship. "The parties had a frank ex- change of views and planned to schedule another session to con- tinue the talks said RonTomalis of the Justice Department's Com- munity Relations Service, which is now mediating the dispute. Neither Tomalis nor the four coaches, five NCAA officials and three mediators who participated in the conference call would com- ment on what was discussed. "It's just the beginning of dis- cussions; the meeting itself is progress said FrancisCanavan, an NCAA spokesman. The Olympics and schedul- ing conflicts in the busy basket- ball season forced the cancella- tion of two previous attempts for the two sides to meet face to face. But several more meetings are expected before the NCAA con- See NCAA page 12 Kerrigan image tarnished (AP)?Days after losing outon a gold medal, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan is trying not to lose her golden image. While waiting to be awarded the silver medal Friday, Kerrigan was heard complaining that gold medalist Oksana Baiul of Ukraine was delaying the award ceremony. While sirring next to Mickey Mouse at a Disney World parade Sunday, she was recorded saying, "This is so corny, this is so dumb. I hate it. This is the most corny thing I've ever done Those remarks?plus her criti- cism of figure skating judges, her boasting tha t own performance was flawless and her skipping of the Olympic closing ceremonies ? threatened to sully her Snow White image and dim her marketing ap- peal.

The girls dance team finished 7th in the nation last year in competition. This year they will not be able to compete because of lack of funding. File Poto Knight back to using old tricks (AP)?Knight pulled four of his starters iastSundayand benched them for most of the game while Indiana absorbed the school's worst defeat in 89 years, losing 106-56 to Minnesota. The No. 17 Hoosiers apparently understood Knight's plan as they bounced back with an 82-77 triumph over Illinois on Tuesday night. Knight refused to speak to most of the media after Tuesday's game and would not allow his players to speak to the media. But Knight did talk to ESPN. "If we didn't have an effort to- night, we'll never get one he said. "We didn't have much of one against a team that played awfully well Sun- day. Sometimes you lose rhebattie to win the war Knight'sdecision tokeephisstart- ers on the bench drew considerable public criticism. "We had no chance, so what dif- ference does it make to try and make a comeback and push everbody to the gills. (Damon) Bailey was sick and rundownand he asked tocomeoutof the game Knight told ESPN. "So many people are supposed to know so much "To paraphrase Winston Churchill, 'Never have so many thoughtthey knew somuch and knew little We accomplished tonight Jordan faces many critics and was starting to leave. It was not meant as a slight toward Oksana Of the "corny" comment, she said: "1 was not saying that the parade was corny or dumb. I en- joyed it tremendously. Riding down Main Street with Mickey Mouse ? what could be better than that? "What I was commenting on to my mother was her insistence that I wear my medal during the parade. Since I was a little girl, I was told not to brag. I was afraid See KERRIGAN page 13 ? exactly what we tried to do on Sun- day" (AP) ? Michael Jordan's crack at the major leagues appar- ently isn't too popular among many baseball players. "I know a lot of baseball play- ers don't want to see him make it because it will be a slap in the face to them said former Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett. "The guys that I've talked to that have been around the White Sox camp say it's a joke. You have all these guys that had great years and all they are is a side show for Michael Brett said Tuesday in an interview after promoting a new golf league for current and former athletes. Brett's comments come a day after Seattle pitcher Randy Johnson promised to give Jordan some tight pitches should they ever meet. Johnson also said he was going to ask the NBA SuperSonics for a tryout, adding that he could probably block a 235-pounder out of the middle better than Jordan can hit a base- ball. Brett talked about Jordan at the Governor's Club golf course, which is less than 10 miles from where Jordan played basketball ? but not baseball ? for the Uni- versity of North Carolina. Brett, a future Hall of Famer with more than 3,000 hits, is considered oneofbaseball'sbest hitting students. He changed his batting stroke when he broke into the major leagues, cutting down his swing and going more to the opposite field?a method that produced a dozen .300 seasons.Brett said he hasn't seen Jordan hit in person, but be- lieves the former Chicago Bulls guard must be going through some growing pains. "It gets to a point where when you are swinging the bat good you don't have negative thoughts going through your mind. You don't worry about your fundamentals Brett said. "Michael is going through a point right now where he has so many things going through his mind. "OK, where is your weight, on the ball of your feet? Where's your hands? Where's your head? Are you striding in too much? You can't hit if you're thinking about all those things Brett added. "He has a lot of things he has to learn about the game of baseball before he can become a player Brett said it's unfair to com- See JORDAN page 12 12 The East Carolinian March 3, 1994 Tech might be without Forrest against Clemson (AP)?Georgia Tech's lead- ing scorer, James Forrest, will possibly miss Saturday's home finale against Clemson with a severely sprained ankle. Forrest, a h-foot-S junior for- ward averaging 19.4 points per game, did not accompany the Yellow jackets to Tallahassee Tuesdav. Eddie Elisma, a fresh- man, will start in his place. "When you play without James it really hurts you Tech coach Bobby Cremins said. "But we're gonna make the best of a tough situation, give it every- thing we've got. We've been very fortunate (historically) with injuries here, so I'm not gonna complain But with guard Drew Bam- also out with a broken bone in his foot, Tech cannot afford a prolonged absence by Forrest if it is to secure a 10th straight NCAA tournament bid. Tech, 15-10 overall and 6-8 in the ACC, would probably need to at least split its last two games. Despite a strong power rat- ing and two wins over North Carolina, a 6-10 conference record would not be attractive to the NCAA Tournament se- lection committee. Forrest sprained the ankle in Saturday's 81 -69 victory over North Carolina State. X-rays were negafive but there was sig- nificant swelling and pain. He has sprained the ankle twice earlier this season. Clemson already hasbeaten Tech this season and Forrest played in both games. NCAA Continued from page 11 vention next January, where any changes in its rules would have to be made. Tomalis declined to say when the two sides would talk again, and whether it would be in per- son or another conference call. He also said both sides agreed not to comment on the black coaches' various grievances against the NCAA until, if and when any agreement is reached. The Community Relations Service, created out of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, can at- tempt to nudge the two sides to- ward agreement but has no en- forcement authority to impose a settlement. It entered the dispute at the prodding of the 40-member Con- gressional Black Caucus, which also requested the coaches to forego their threatened boycott out of fears it would disrupt the basketball season. NCAA officials participating in the conference call included president Joseph Crowley, execu- tive director Cedric Dempsey and University of Colorado president Judith Albino, who chairs the NCAA's president's commission. BCA executive director Rudy Washington of Drake was joined by John Thompson of Georgetown, John Chaney of Temple and George Raveling of Southern Cal on the coaches' side of the discussion. JORDAN Continued from page 11 pare Jordan's situation with that of his former teammate Bo Jack- son, who played both professional baseball and football in the NFL for the Los Angeles Raiders. "I played with a guy by the name of Bo Jackson who was a Heisman Trophy winner, who said he was going to go play baseball and everybody laughed at Bo. Well, we all know what Bo did in his baseball career. " M ichael J ordan is definitely a world-class athlete like a Bo Jack- son Brett said. "But the one thing I think that Bo has on Michael is that Bo played college baseball and Michael just played high school baseball.

When Jeff Purvis takes the wheel of the No. 51 Country Time Chevrolet in less than two weeks, it will be an ac- complishment that would have made his late friend Neil Bonnett proud. "Neil always had a lot of faith (in me) Purvis said. "I believe he would be glad for me Purvis had mixed emotions Tuesday when it was announced he wil 1 take over the Winston Cup ride of Bonnett, who died in a crash last month at Daytona In- ternational Speedway. "We'll never get over his loss said Purvis, 35, of Clarksville, Tenn. "Neil and 1 were good friends, sc this gives me an added incentive to per- form He'll get his first chance on March 13 during the race at At- lanta Motor Speedway. Purvis has won 350 races in 20 years of racing but has only lim- ited Winston Cup experience with only eight starts in 1993. Three were with lames Finch, who will continue as owner of the Phoenix Racing team, Bonnett's crew on the No. 51 Chevy. It was Bonnett who advised him to make the jump into stock ear racing's top circuit, Purvis said Tuesday. Bonnett, 47, of Bessemer, Ala had planned to enter up to six Winston Cup races this year as he tried to make a comeback from a serious head injury he sustained in a 1990 crash. Bonnett, who won 18 Win- ston Cup races, had become one oi the sport's most respected tele- vision analysts. On Feb. 11, he was killed when his car hit the fourth- turn wall on the 2 1, 2-mile oval during the opening practice tor the Daytona 500. The deal announced Tuesday calls for Purvis to run in eight Winston Cup races and seven Grand National races. The deal with sponsor Country Time cov- ers only the 1994 season. Finch and Purvis have raced together in other circuits for more than a decade. "1 knew Neil would want us to carrv on and his son, David, to carry on Finchsaid. "Webelieve Neil would haveapproved of Jeff's selection and encouraged us to continue with our NASCAR TOURNAMENT plans he said. Joel I lenrv of Country Time said Purvis was the logical choice. When a driver keepsa strong affiliation with the same team for more than 10 vears, there must be a chemistry that has produced a formula for success he said. "James Finch and Jeff Purvis have that chemistry Purvis also plans to enter both races this year atTalladega as well as events in Charlotte, Michigan, Davtona, Phoenix and the history- making first Winston Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speed way on Aug. 6.

Coached by Chuck Swenson, W&M finished an abysmal 2-12 in the CAA, and 4-22 overall. The two conference wins however, came against UNC-Wilmington and East Carolina, showing that the Tribe are capable of playing good basketball in this conference. William & Mary is led by jun- ior guard Kurt Small, averaging 15.7 points per game this season. A pleasant surprise for the Tribe this season has been the play of sophomore David Cully, who is leading the conference in both re- bounds, with 8.8 per game, and blocked shots, with 2.6 per game. The Tribe will have their hands full with ODU, especially consid- ering that Purnell will have last season's first round upset loss on his mind. Game two matches up the fourth-ranked Spiders of Rich- mond (8-6 in the CAA, 13-13 over- all) against the Pirates (7-7 in the CAA, 15-11 overall), last year's tournament champions. UR head coach Bill Dooley turned up the heat late in the sea- son, winning eight of his last 11 games. The Spiders are led by guards Kass Weaver, shooting 55 percent from the field, and senior Gerald Jarmon. The leading scorer for Richmond is senior forward Mike Hodges, averaging 15.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Richmond will have the home court advantage over ECU, win- ning 25 of 34 games played against the Pirates in the Virginia capital, 13 in a row. The Spiders have also won all three meetings against ECU in CAA Tournament history. The two teams split in the regular season. Winning last year'sC A A tour- nament was a monumental step towards success this season for ECU head coach Eddie Payne and his Pirates. Finishing in fifth place might not have been what Pirate fans had been hoping for this sea- son, but ECU did achieve only their second winning season in 11 years. The Pirates started hot this season at 9-3, but hit a down spot soon after, losing five of their next seven games. ECU got a big over- time win against first-round op- ponent Richmond in Minges Coli- seum, but that win might be over- shadowed by late-season losses to ODU, JMU and UNC-W going into the tournament. The Pirates are led by pre- season conference MVP Lester Lyons, averaging 16.6 points per game, and shooting 85 percent from the free-throw line. The Pi- rate senior has been a force on defense this season, and so have fellow seniors Curlev Young and Wilbert Hunter. ECU is 13-2 this season when holding opponents under 75 points. Center Anton Gill has stepped up his game in the second half of the season, push- ing his average up to 14.2 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per game. Game three of the first round matches up second placeJMU(10- 4 in theC A A, 17-9 overall) against the Eagles of American Univer- sity (5-9 in the CAA, 8-18 overall). The Dukes are led bv senior forward Clayton Ritter, averag- ing 17.9 points per game, and shooting 63.5 percent trom the field. Guard Kent Culuko has also played extremely well this season for the Dukes, averaging 17.3 points per game and shooting 46 percent from 3-point range. The Eagles of American are led by former high school team- mates at Chantillv High School in Fairfax, Va. Both Tim Fudd and Darrvl Franklin played for the Chargersof Chantillv before team- ing up in nearby Washington, DC. to play for coach Chris Knoche and American. Fudd is the CAA leader in scoring with 18.9 points per game. Franklin is one of the best 3-point shooters in the con- ference, with an average of 43 per- cent on the season. The Eagles pulled off big upsets this season against Old Dominion, James Madison and Richmond. The final game of the first round will pit the third-place Seaha wks of U NC-Wi lmington (9- 5 in theC A A, 16-9 overall) against the Patriots of George Mason (5-9 in the CAA, 10-16 overall). UNC-W is coached by Kevin Eastman, who has made the most of his team this season, despite their lack of speed and size. The Seahawks plaved an inconsistent second half of the season, beating teams such as ODU and Ameri- can, and then losing three in a row to William & Mary, Old Domin- ion, and Richmond. The Patriots of GMU have made significant improvements this season under new head coach Paul Westhead. GMU upset Rich- mond earlier this year, and have one of the quickest backcourts in the CAA with Troy Manns and Donald Ross. Manns has led the CAA in assists all season long while Ross has led the team in scoring with 17 1 pointst jrgame. The Patriots fast-paced style may provoke havoc in the tournament, especially against the much slower Seahawks of UNC-W. The tournament holds many possibilities within itself. One thing that is certain is that this year's CAA tournament will be one of the most dramatic ever, with just about any team in the conference capable of pulling off some upsets. Just ask East Carolina.

Kerrigan's silver medal was ex- pected to only add to her appeal, bu t almost immediately she began her series of public relationsblunders. When she was told, mistakenly, that the medal ceremony had been delayed because Baiul was redo- ing her makeup, an annoyed Kerrigan was heard on television saving: "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?" In interviews in the following days,shesaid she had ska ted flaw- lessly, that Baiul had not, and she questioned the judges for not de- ducting points for Baiul'smistakes. She left Norway before the closing ceremonies to attend the Disnev World parade, even though Disney officials said the parade could havebeen held another day. Callers to radio talk shows began voicing theirdisenchantment with Kerrigan and newspaper colum- nists started blasting her. But none of this is enough to destroy her image?or scare away corporate sponsors, analysts said. "If she continues, it will be very bad for her image, "said David Bu rns of the Chicago-based Bums Sports Celebrity Service. But he said he's sure Kerrigan's agents w ill con vince her " to stop express- ing negatives in interviews "That will stop, I can guaran- tee you he said.

JfcW Fig. A The Anatomy of the Citibank Classic card: a body of services and peace of mind for students, now with No Annual Fee. For years, scientists could only theorize about the Citibank Classic Visa? card, unable to actually observe anything below its epidermal surface (i.e. the plastic). Surely the highly intelligent services were evidence of an advanced brain. But with the latest advances in x-ray technology, and when the light could catch the various parts just so, it was confirmed: the Citibank Classic Visa card is head to toe more evolved than ever imagined. H At its backbone are 3 services to cover the purchases you make on the card. Starting at the Lower Costal Spine, we see Citibank Price Protection can assure you of the best price. All you have to do is discover the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will refund the difference up to $150' Along the Oops-It-Slipped Disc, Buyers Security? can cover those purchases against accidental damage, fire or theft, for 90 days from the date of purchase1; and Citibank Lifetime Warranty? allows one to extend the warranty for the expected service life of eligible Scientists theorize that the mind of the Citibank Classic Visa cardmember (Fig. A) is secure because it receives superior products Up to 12 years2. So if yOU ever buy a Walkman, service; the mind of the non-Citibank Classic Visa cardmember (Fig.B) is not secure because-couldit be?-it has a screw loose? a stereo, whatever, it will be reassuring to know that Citibank can bend and be flexible while still lending support. H The backbone is then connected to the cranium or headbone. Look at the bottom of the page. The Citibank Photocard has the head of the cardholder, as well as his or her own signature, right on the front. That way, it will help prevent fraud. It will also make a good form of ID, since you get to choose your own photo. H But what about the Nervous System? The fact is, it doesn't have one, not in the spinal cord nor in the brain. What it has is the Very Calm System. Because even if your credit xard gets stolen, or gets lost, an involuntary muscle called the Extendus Anewcardeus activates the Lost Wallet? Service which can replace your card usually within 24 hours. 1 As suspected, there's another involuntary muscle: the heart?a beating and caring heart, big enough to give students special discounts and savings. You'll receive a $20 Airfare Discount on domestic flights3; savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, magazines and music; a low variable interest rate of 15.44; and, No Annual Fee. (In other words, the card itself doesn't cost a forelimb and a hindlimb.) H Naturally the heart of the Citibank Visa card pumps life and personalized customer service into all its parts, 24 hours a day.
