By Tammy Zion Staff Writer The faculty knew it. The students knew it. However, it took a national competition to prove to the rest of the country just how impressive a teaching education from ECU can be. "It feels really good to be number one said Dr. Betty Beacham, director of ECU's School of Education Model Clinical Teaching Program (MCTP). The program com- peted against schools from across the nation and was se- lected as one of the three final- ists to give a presentation at the Association of Teacher Educa- tors (ATE) conference in At- lanta, Ga last month. ECU's MCTP left its first competition victorious after edging out the University of Texas and the University of Arizona. "Our success says that we are the best in the nation, that we are the cutting edge and that we have the potential for being a national model in how we prepare teachers Beacham said. In order to become a final- ist, the ECU's MCTP had to sub- mit a 25-page report, prepared by Beacham, on "every facet of the program she said.

Dr. Elpida Hadjidaki of Athens, Greece, who is the cu- rator of antiquities for the Greek Ministry of Culture, pre- sented a slide lecture and video on the shipwreck at ECU in February. The merchant ship, car- rying a cargo of wine, sank in the Aegean Sea off the south- ern coast of the island Alonisos. The wreck was discov- ered by Maurikes Kostas, a fish- erman, and was reported to the Maritime Department in Greece. The fisherman discov- ered the wreck about a decade ago, but excavation did not start until 1991 with a prelimi- nary survey. A full-scale sur- vey was done in August of 1992. Archaeologists have dis- covered that the ship is far larger than any other ship from the classical period. "The ship is 25 meters long and 10 meters wide said See DISCOVERY page 4 Elections rescheduled Balloting to run from 9:00- 6:30 By Laura A!lard Staff Writer Spring elections for SGA President, Vice President, Trea- surer, and Secretary have been moved to Wed April 6. "Everything has been moved uponeweekduetoSpring Break said Elections Commit- tee Chair Dale Emery. These officers comprise the executive branch of the SGA and are responsible for providing an official voice for expressing stu- dent opinion, according to the Student Handbook. The filing date has also been extended. Students may now file for office until Wed March 22. In order to be eligible for office students must have com- pleted 48 semester hours, have been enrolled at ECU for two con- secutive semesters and have an overall GPA of 2.0. Each candidate will receive a copy of the Election Rules upon filing and must follow them care- fully, as "Any violation of the Election Rules by a candidate, a candidate's supporters, or a can- didates political party, of the elec- tion rules which leads to an un- fair advantage for any candidate will result in the candidate's be- ing disqualified as stated in the SGA Election Rules. Candidates are also re- quired to submit an expense ac- count and list of workers by 5:00 p.m. two days prior to the elec- tion. Candidates failing to do so will be removed from the ballot. Candidates are required to pay a $10 registration fee, which will be refunded after all cam- paign materials have been re- moved. Executive officers are re- quired toattend bothsummerses- sions while in office but summer tuition is paid for all officers. Tu- ition is not paid for the Fall and Spring semesters during which the executive officers will serve, but each officer is paid a monthly salary. The upcoming election is the first to use computerized ballots. Students will vote on a Scan-tron form and votes will be counted by computer. "This system is upgrading the elections process said SGA Vice President Troy Dreyfus. "It takes out any room for human error and produces almost instant results Ballot boxes will be placed throughout campus from 9:00 a.m. until 6:30p.m. Theballotbox at Wright Place will remain open until 8:00 p.m. "Many graduate students are only on campus at night and are not able to vote if the boxes close at 6:00 said graduate student representative Michael Hadley. Current SGA President Keith Dyer is pleased with the progress the student government has made during his term. "We had a good semester last semes- ter. We really got a lot done More detours in store for ECU By Jason Williams Assistant News Editor Students driving around on campus in the next few weeks should be prepared to take a couple of detours. Construction work on Busbee Drive and Founders Drive began over Spring Break, closing two main arteries through campus. Busbee Drive is the street off of Fifth Street that runs between the Nursing Buildii g and the Speight Building. Founders Drive runs behind the General Class- room Building and comes out on Ormond Way, the street that runs in front of Brewster. The private parking lot be- hind the General Classroom Building will not be affected by the construction. ECU's Facilities Services is repaving both streets.

Four MCTP representa- tives attended the ATE national conference along with 1,600 rep- resentatives from other schools across the nation. As a finalist, ECU was required to show an exhibit which detailed aspects of the MCTP program and pic- tures of its interns in action. The display was set up on ECU's trademark purple back- ground, and the team then gave a 50-minute presentation, ac- companied by slides, on Feb. 14. ATE awarded a plaque to ECU for having the most dis- tinguished program on Feb. 16. "ATE is one of the major professional organiza- tions for colleges and schools of education Beacham said. "It has been a genuine source of joy to see the MCTP grow from an idea to an ideal program to prepare future el- ementary teachers said School of Education Dean Charles Coble in his recom- mendation to the ATE. ECU's MCTP involves senior students majoring in elementary education. See AWARD page 4 Have vou seen this man?

Clinton, speaking to the top economic policy-makers of the seven richest industrial countries, said every nation faced a "stubborn and persistent problem" of how to create more and better-paying jobs. He said that the problem was d if ferent for each country, wi th the United States hampered by stag- nant wages and Europe saddled with high unemployment rates. "I asked for this conference to summon the same collective en- ergy and ideas and experience to one of the greatest problems of our era Clinton said. The president said the most advanced industrial- ized countries had to learn he v to obtain and maintain growing liv- ing standards for its citizens. The president continued to pressure Europe and Japan to do more to end the global recession by stimulating domestic demand. He said the United States would do its part bv continuing with efforts to reduce its budget deficits. Clinton also urged the world's industrialized powers to talk openiy about the challenges they face in a rapidly changing global economy. "If we can honestly debate these problems, we can help people overcome their fear of change Clinton said. "We've got to make our people believe that productivity can be a source of gain, not pain the president said.

Times have changed. Several faculty members from the College of Journalism and Com- munication at the University of Florida expressed outrage after a naked man burst into an advertising classroom, loudly identified himself as "Batman" and beat a hasty retreat, the Independent Florida Alligator reported. Professor Sallie Middlebrook, who was teaching the class, said she did not apprecia te the interruption He spread his arms and legs and said, 'Batman she said. "I was standing there in awe Middlebrook said she locked the door after the slender male with light brown hair left the room. "I can see the humor (in the situation), but to me it's not funny Meanwhile, journalism Dean Ralph Lowenstein said he found the incident absolutely disgusting. "I believe if the person can be found, he ought to be prosecuted he said. Hazing alive on campuses; one student dead Michael Davis hoped that one day he might win a Pulitzer Prize for reporting, a dream that was tragically cut short by a beating allegedly administered by his own fraternity brothers. Davis, 25, a junior in journalism at Southeast Missouri State University, died Feb. 15 of blunt trauma to the head. Kappa Alpha Psi pledges told police that Davis had collapsed while running through a gauntlet of punches it a football field. Family members said it was not the first time Davis had been beaten, and they begged the young man to give up pledging before the incident. As of Feb. 23, seven fraternity members had been charged with involuntary manslaughter and hazing, three others face hazing charges and six alumni fraternity members face hazing charges. University President Kala Stroup ordered the Kappa Alpha Psi chapter permanently banned from campus. Education Department OKs use of race-based scholarships Colleges and universities may use race-based scholarships to remedy past discrimination or diversify their student bodies, Educa- tion Secretary Richard Riley said Feb. 17. "We want the doors to post secondary education to remain open for minority students he said. "This policy helps to achieve that goal in a manner that is consistent with the law Unlike other minority scholarships, for which any minority student is eligible, race-specific scholarships provide finan- cial aid for a targeted minority group only. University administra- tors and the NAACP say race-based scholarships are important to promote diversity on campuses. Compiled by Jason Williams. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � Gay and lesbian marchers made their debut in this city's St. Patrick's Day Parade, but the grand marshals couldn't make it. They were in prison. The late entry by a contin- gent of about 30 homosexuals drew no opposition, and they marched in Sunday's 1.42nd an- nual parade behind a banner reading "Irish Lesbian & Gay Or- ganization said Joe O'Donoghue, the parade chair- man. "We wouldn'tbe consistent with our stand on no political or religious discrimination in Northern Ireland if they were kept out he said. The gays and lesbians were a small segment of a parade that drew thousands to its Market Street route, and featured screeching bagpipes and ener- getic Irish dancers. The main political message was the struggle in Northern Ire- land and signs reading "British TroopsGetOutof Ireland "IRA All The Way" and "Britain Still Holds Ireland" were plentiful. The parade's four grand marshals all escaped from North- ern Ireland's Maze Prison in 1983. Alleged terrorists Kevin Barry Artt, Paul Brennan, Terence Kirby and James Smyth were captured in California and are in custody facing extradition charges in federal court in San Francisco. In Boston, organizers of the annual St. Patrick's Day parade scrapped the event to protest a court order allowing gays and lesbians to march. Martha Fitzgerald, a mem- ber of the San Francisco group, said the ad hoc organization entered late "to show support to lesbians and gays in Boston and New York who have been denied the right to march in their local parade Fellow marcher Martin Gould said he was "very happy with the group's recep- tion. "They was a little booing at the end he said. "But there was a lot more applause. Of course, most people didn't do anything Virginia vying for Mickey RICHMOND, Va. (AP) � The state sweetened its offer to S160 million in incentives for Walt Disney Co. to build its American history theme park. "This is a project that will be the envy of the entire na- tion said Gov. George Allen, who made Disney his top legis- lative priority. Critics of the project pro- tested the development would spoil the pristine countryside. Supporters argued the state needs the estimated 19,000 jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenues the project would gen- erate. Lawmakers agreed Satur- day to finance $131 million in highway improvements and provide other subsidies for the park in rural Prince William County, about 35 miles west of Washington, D.C. Disney also will get $13 million for tourism promotion and $1.8 million for employee training. The state will build a $2.5 million visitors' center on land donated by Disney. Disney vice president Mark Pacala said the company hopes to break ground for the park in late 1995 and open in 1998.

In order to re- trieve the oil and gas tha t we need, pockets of the substances must be located and then drilled. How- ever, since the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska, many people have been distrustful of oil and gas drilling. Certainly, many people do not want it done near the area in which thev live. In order to find out how people feel about possible oil and gas drilling in their area, the fed- eral government performs socio- logical studies. Often, the govern- ment will request universities to have people in a specific depart- ment conduct the study, which is what a team of researchers from ECU, led by Dr. John R. Maiolo, did this past year. DuringGov.JimHunt'sfirst administration, many piK'kets of substantial amounts of oil and gas were found off the coast of North Carolina. The site, know n as the "Manteo Prospect is 2,690 feet deep and is 38 mi les off the coasti it Salvo. With the aid of the Depart- ment of the Interior, the federal government set up "lease blocks" which were to be bought by oil companies. The first set of blocks wasboughtby Mobil of the South- east oil company. Before an oil company can start drilling, itmust explore and examine the area of the oil and gas po kefs. In order to do this, the company must secure a permit to explore. During the administration of Gov. Jim Martin, Mobil decided it wanted to secure a permit to explore the area However, Mar- tin objected to Mobil securing a permit and worked with several Senators to withhold the permit from Mobil, invoking the Oil Pol- lution Act of L990. The act had a rider on it that required an independent review- panel to examine the consequences of exploration in the case of an acci- dent. Die state also found that in- formation on economic dependen- cies and historical information on North Carolina's coastal counties wasdeficient iheU.S. Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service selected a panel from the sociology department ot ECU. The members in the department are spe- cialists in marine development Maiolo netted that the sociol- ogy department of ECU has a very good reputation and that the De- partmentof Interior wanted ECU to conduct the study. Some graduate students that started at ECU were asked if thev wanted to help with the project and every one of them got involved. The group from ECU was called in the summer of 1992 and were asked to put together a pro- posal to address concerns of the coastal community. The staff mem- bers from ECU that were involved are Dr. John Maiolo, Edward W. Glazier, Belinda Blinkoff, Barbara Garrity Blake, Cindy Harper and Mym Young. Maiolo directed the study with Dr. John S. Petterson, president of 1 mpact Assessment Inc. Impact Assessment Inc. also stud- ied the effects of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. According to the final execu- tive summary laid out bv Maiolo's team, the purpose of the studv was the following: "The Coastal North Carolina Socioeconomic Studv is designed to collect, analyze and dis- seminate information about socio- economic and sociocultural condi- tions along those portions ot the North Carolina coast susceptible to the potential effects of exploratory drilling at the Manteo prospect Maiolo laid out fiveobjectives that his group had. The objectives were: one, to get the most complete report on coastal counties, two, find all infrastructure problems, like roadways, three, determine what the communitv organizations ,md relationships are like, tour, to make an aesthetic risk survey which would rank the concerns the citi- zens have and five, to develop a program for the coastal counties to monitor any changes in those areas. Maiolo's group worked for IS months on the project. They had field stations inC.loucester.l latteras, Manteo and Ocracoke. The head- quartersforthe$795,000projectwas in Morehead Citv. The group would ma ke a report to the federa 1 govern- menteach month outlining the work accomplished and thecost involved. The money then given to them for the costs came from the fee that Mobil paid for the permit to ex- plore. "1 think just mailing expenses were $13,000 Maiolo said. After the project was completed this fall, the group submitted a 1,300-page document to tine Department ot In- terior. "The collection of informa- tion is the most comprehensive and in-depth study of a portion of the North Carolina coast that has ever been done Maiolo said. In a previous interview, Maiolo noted how valuable the ECU report will be in the future. "Re- gardless ot whether or not explora- tion occurs offshore, the report pro- vides government and industry with information to help in devel- NEED opment and planning for many years to come he said. Even though the project took a long time and was a verj tedious task, Maiolo had only one thing to say about it. "It was a lot of fun Maiolo's group ranked the overall concerns the citizens had about the coastal regions. Maiolo noted that off-shore drilling was a concern of the citizens, but tha t other concerns outranked it. He said that over development concerns prima- rily prevailed in many of the coun- ties. Maiolo believes that the dan- gets to the physical environment during exploration will be mini- mal. The only problem he sees is that there will be some interruption in commercial fishing. "They're probably going to get a permit Maiolo said. It Mobil isgranted a permitto start exploration of the area, a ship will go to the site and will anchor there tor 114 days. In that time, the crew will drill into someof the pock- ets to test the oil and gas. The crew working on the ship would be housed in Morehead City. If useful oil and gas is found, Mobil will then have to check theamountofoi and gas that there is and determine the risks oi production. If everything is approved, and Mobil is granted permission to produce the oil and gas, the entire refinery would be located in Norfolk, Vir. Therefore, the economic impact on North Carolina would be minimal. Maiolo admits that there are risks in exploration. He notes that the Exxon Valdez spill made people concerned about oil drilling. "There are a lot of people who depend on those waters being pristine Maiolo said. "This is the kind of thing people worry about, and I can't blame them Mobil must, bv law, be pre- pared for accidents and must have emergenev procedures outlined. But, Maiolo did note that Exxon had to have emergency proce- dures before the Exxon Valdez disaster, and company officials still failed to act when they should have. If the exploration does start, an emergency response team would be based in Morehead City. On the point of whether or not to give the permit to Mobil, Maiolo had only one thing to say. "1 can tell you, I'm glad I'm not in the position to make that decision Ah to his opinion n whether or not offshore drilling should oc- cur off the coast of the outer banks, Maiolo refused to comment. "Our job is only to go out there and identify the concerns he said. Maiolo noted that the report that his group submitted was as unbiased as it could possibly get. He didn't want any opinions on the subject to interfere with their task. Maiolo even made it clear to his staff that hedidn't want to know their opinions. This is not the first time that Dr. Maiolo has been involved in a project like this. He sees projects like these as ways to bring in sup- port money for the university that he is working for. Maiolo has taught at sev era schools and has brought in a total of 525,000,000 to those schools, in- cluding ECU. 1109 Charles Blvd 758-4251 We need USED CD's, Sega Genesis & Super Nintendo Games & Plavers!

"There is an extended time of an entire year for our interns to learn what it means to be an effective teacher Beacham said. "They are committed to spend- ing additional time in class- rooms. They understand that their payoff is in Mav when they leve us ready and very excited about assuming the role as leader m their own classroom Students in the program are Supervised by special classroom teachers who have undergone Over 70 hours of training. "The clinical teacher has also been very critical Beacham $aid. "Many times cooperating teachers who work with our tra- ditional students have not had extensive training so they really don't serve the same role. They don't have the same in-depth skills of working as a mentor with a pre-service teacher as our clinical teachers do Beacham said that devel- opment also plays a large role in ECU'S MCTP. "Each vear in April or May we sit together as a group she said. "We look at our strengths, we look at our weaknesses and all of the evaluation data that we have collected that drives our staff development for the next year . Students in the program take classes together, scheduled around elementary hours. Chancellor Eakin is thrilled that ECU came out on top of such a prestigious competition. "The collegial interaction between university faculty and area educators has, I believe, been the foundation for the Model Clinical Teaching Program's impressive accom- plishments Eakin said in his recommendation to ATE. Six area elementary schools have ECU MCTP students in their classrooms. "I think it's a good experi- ence said Dawn Camiso, a kin- dergarten clinical teacher at Win- tergreen Elementary School. "I feel a lot more comfortable being in a classroom environment from the beginning of the year until the very end In his recommendation to the ATE, Pitt County Superintendent Howard Sosne stated, "Of all uni- versity projects, this effort contin- ues to most directly benefit our school staff and provide exem- plary training for future teachers Beacham said there is no need for ECU to compete in the competition again unJess the pro- gram is altered or a new model is implemented. She said that the award can be used as a spring- board to gain funding for the School of Education, and as a tre- mendous recruiting tool. "We have evolved as a re- search and development arm for the School of Education work- ing in a capsulated environment, we can try out innovative things, what we find works we can actu- ally apply to our full SOE pro- gram Beacham said. By fall 1995, Beacham said every student that graduates from ECU with a teaching certificate in North Carolina will have at least one full semester of clinical teach- ing. "It's called clinical because the interns spend as much time in a real classroom as they do on campus Beacham said. "We want them in real live classrooms looking at day to da- real life situ- ations so it's not simulation. It's not getting into a group and I'm the teacher and you're the stu- dent.

"We've been using the grid method, but we've only dug two trenches. So, it's a long term project which will probably take 10 years The biggest discovery so far has been the thousands of clay wine bottles called amphoras. Amphoras are durable contain- ers with two handles at the top and a narrow neck, which were manufactured at each major port city The preserved stamps on the amphoras serve as a guide telling when and where it was manufactured. Archaeologists studying the amphoras have concluded that the ancient Greek ship's prob- able point of departure was the Macedonian port of Monde. The ship's intended destination is not known. "There are about two to three lavers of amphoras and be- low that we'll find kitchenvvare, hardware or probably coins or even statues Mantzouka said. Some of the other artifacts thatarcheologists have uncovered are black-glazed ceramic wine cups and bowls, a small wine jar known as a kyathion, a cooking pot and a bronze bucket and ladle.

To think or not to think, that is the question As journalists and educated people, sometimes we just have to throw up our hands and not say anything. To repsond to some of the material that finds its way across our desks may be difficult because of it's unbelievability or infuriating and frustrat- ing qualities. The recent censorship of both an Alice Walker and an Annie Dillard story is one such issue that had to be set aside a few days before it could be commented on. The tests are part of a new California curriculum introduced into the public edu- cation system for tenth graders. They in- volve reading and essay questions, and are designed to prepare students to be economi- cally and socially successful. In essence, students have to reason, analyze and com- municate on a sophisticated level, so as to convey a point. In other words, these tests aren't about regurgitating material. Censorship is itself a sticky topic � up there with racism, inner-city violence and welfare reform. But it would seem that in a country that was founded on the beliefs of a people discriminated against, who fled parts of Europe to escape the intolerance and voice their ideals that they so believed in, would tolerate the varying thoughts that makes America so unique. When the protest becomes nit-picky and illogical, that makes the debate even more frustrating. This particular problem lies deep in California's rising influence of Christian fun- damentalists and conservatives in the edu- cational department, where many people are against teaching evolution and gay rights. In the 1992-3 school year alone, Cali- fornia cited 29 censorship incidents. Unfor- tunately, this phenomena is not isolated to California alone. It's ironic that liberal Califor- nia must endure this, when our own ECU has a homosexual literature class. (Jesse Helms, be- ware!) It seems that these people don't want us thinking unattended. Perhaps they believe that we should all live the same, miserable lives not unlike that scene in Joe Versus the Volcano where terribly unhappy people trudge to their jobs in a factory that uses life- sucking flourescent lighting. For them and for us, thinking would only prove hazard- ous, don't you know. It's an anxiety, really. To cite an instance, in Alice Walker's "Roselily" � one of the stories censored � the protagonist describes a preacher as "odious" and "wants to hit him Beverly Sheldon, wife of Lou Sheldon, founder of the Traditional Values Coalition, is quoted as charging that the passage is clergy-bashing and that the statements didn't need to be in the story. Another instance is a Walker story titled "Am I Blue?" wherein a woman, revolted by cruelty to a horse, spits out a bite of steak. The Traditional Values Coalition believes that a child will read this and come home and vomit at the dinner table. These religious-right fundamentalists re- ally need to examine their seeming excep- tional home-life, if they truly believe that what is offered in the schools will alter their child's life in an adverse way. You'd think people firm in their family values would have nothing to fear from schoolteachers. Except these particular people don't want anyone inflicting their beliefs on their kids. Have these people heard of home school- ing? By Brian Hall Active government forces leaders to do their job It is very tempting, as a political opponent of our president, to write a column jumping on the Whitewater bandwagon, calling for our president's head. However, I have faith in our political system, and am willing to wait to see if any conclusive �����MB evidence ap- pears to back up the suspi- cious events which have come to light so far. I will say that if President Clinton had been better about telling the truth in the past, it would be much easier to believe his protestations of innocence now. Once one has lost his virtue, it is quite diffi- cult to recover it. What I would like to see by all parties, and hope to con- tribute to myself as best I can, is a more reasoned and intelli- gent debate. Rather than hurl- ing labels and invective, let us assume that the American people are capable of thinking for themselves if both sides are presented intelligently. I noticed a perfect ex- ample of hiding behind labels this past week. The North Carolina chapter of People for the American Way has a pro- gram to try to alleviate racism in our public schools by get- ting students to talk frankly with each other. While I wish for few things more than an end to Rather than attacking the character, motives, or patriotism of our political opponents, we should devote ourselves instead to refuting the usefulness, necessity or wisdom of their ideas. racism, there are a few elements of the program with which I dis- agree. But in choosing their name, this group has labelled anyone who differs with them as being against the American Way, whatever the American way is. It just sounds like something one HMHMHHi should not be against. Rather than attack- ing the char- acter, mo- tives, or pa- triotism of our political opponents, we should devote our- selves instead to refuting the usefulness, necessity or wisdom of their ideas. This task does require more effort than name-calling. But it is the path we must take if our democratic experiment is to succeed. If we continue on our present course, politics will be- come increasingly demagogic and our republic is doomed to eventual tyranny. Many doubt that the United States could ever become a dictatorship. Unfortunately Americans are just as prone to human weaknesses as any other nationality. History has repeat- edly shown that men prefer peace and stability to freedom. The two best examples are the Roman Republic and Weimer Germany. When civil disorder and strife brought chaos to Roman society, the masses willingly embraced the authoritarian dictatorship of the Caesars, rather than live in such disorder. And this is a culture which had an unparalleled hatred of monarchy, to the point of lion- izing regicides. When depres- sion wracked Germany in the 1930's, the people voted into power the Nazis. This last possibility is more likely here. Like the United States, Germany had a constitu- tion which guaranteed basic rights. However, when economic conditions became bad enough, the people were willing to per- mit the destruction of all their democratic institutions. Even in our country, we were willing to allow Roosevelt to institute pro- grams of questionable constitu- tionality to try to end the De- pression. We have these same possi- bilities in our country today. Our debt problem could cause an economic catastrophe which would permit unprecedented government power. Or our crime problem could worsen until people feared criminals more than they feared allowing police more power. Too many people believe that theConstitution is their pro- tection against tyranny. Unfor- tunately, it is only a piece of paper, incapable of independent action. Even the Soviet Union had a constitution, though it was never mistaken for a free soci- ety. It is only when we actively participate in our government and force our leaders to adhere to its precepts that our freedoms are safe. iOO o LAND Of SUNSUWB,movie, 5T-A�5y�AI5lNSAND- PU CAT I OfLCehbOfP ilJiLLy vjonka" is eAu.y rA COAtMUN�ST TTEIA?T TO SdAlNVJASH K0$ it'j alltje 'CAUSE Out- TEACHERS SAID So!

By Barbara Irwin Bobby Knight perfects the temper tantrum Hey, ever hear the one about Mike Krzyzewski, Dean Smith and Bob Knight? Well,af- ter passing on and arriving at the pearly gates of heaven, they meet Saint Peter who asks each of them why they should be al- lowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Krzyzewski and Smith orate their impressive and leg- endary accounts of good deeds both professionally and person- ally, and upon completion, the gates open and they are allowed to enter. When the angelic saint turns to Bob Knight and asks the same question, Knight re- plies, "Because I can! Now tell the Big Man to get outta my chair Laugh if you must, but af- ter Knight's latest incident of head butting freshman Sherron Wilkerson, publicly humiliating him in front of all the world and God, you start to wonder if Knight himself believes he has some omnipotent power that he can use and abuse as he sees fit. And why shouldn't he? Over the years, we have seen Bob Knight pound tables so hard as to disconnect phone lines, use whips as props on his players, slap his players, kick his play- ers, swear at his players, toss his players, (along with a few chairs), and now, head butt his players. And what has been the punishment? Only a mere slap on the hand in the form of a fine here and there, or possibly, if there is really enough outcry, a one- or two-game suspension. Given all the horrific incidents, it makes you wonder why on earth Indiana officialsdon't just fire this jerk. Bryan Burwell, a sports commentator for USA Today, seems to agree. In his column, he says that "a responsible coach ought to recognize when he's accidentally crossed the line. Knight has crossed the line so often, he is no longer capable of distinguishing authority from abuse Evidence of this can be seen on any post-game inter- view as Knight, instead of try- ing to convey an apology of any kind, explains and justifies his actions as part of his technique. Do you think it has ever occurred to Bob Knight that there are a number of esteemed coaches out there with just as many titles and trophies who do not use the techniques of humiliation and abuse? Gosh, how do they do it?! Now, however, we are left with questioning the not-so-ob- vious. Are the Indiana officials intimidated by Bob Knight? Are they on a payroll? Or perhaps, off the court, Bob Knight is really this caring, loving, en- couraging, supportive, teddy bear that to fire him would just break his heart. Further- more, I know from experience growing up in the midwest, that if you aren't a coach of some sort, the only way to carry out your frustrations is to go out and pull corn stalks or count fence posts. So maybe all these incidents are just ac- cidents of frustration. Unfortunately, only a se- lect few know the answers to these questions and the rest of us are left watching this supposedly responsible adult subject his players to the re- sults of a temper tantrum I thought only my two-year-old had perfected. Finally, we never see any hint of remorse, repentence, or even the slight- est acknowledgement of judge- ment error. Like Burnwell, I believe enough is enough. Many coaches have been fired for a lot less and it's time In- diana University fire Bob Knight. By the way, if Coach Knight does make it to the pearly gates, I hope he re- members what happened to the last guy who tried to get the Big Man outta His chair. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I am writing in response to a letter, written by David Richmond, which your paper printed on 17 Feb- ruary 1994 which attacked Walter Jones Jr. for switching parries, etc. Walter Jones, Jr. will be the first person to tell you that becoming a Republican "was the second best deci- sion I ever made- the first and best decision was marry- ing my wife Joe Anne Mr. Richmond actsas if Mr. Jones switched parties in the "dead of night" as though he was ashamed. Guess again. In truth, Jones has traveled the state trying to win other conservative Democrats and Independents to the Republican Party. Mr. Richmond then goes on to attack Mr. Jones for his change of religious affiliation when he was a young man in his twenties. This is totally absurd. I bet half of the people in America start out as a Baptist, Methodist, or Catholic � and along the way ended up in another sect The important thing about Walter Jones, Jr. is that he is a dedicated Christian, a fine and moral man who sup- ports family values and believes in ethical behavior for elected officials. Also of great note is the fact that Walter Jones, Jr. has been praised for "living his beliefs His personal conduct and dedication to good government have even been applauded by the Neziv and Observer� easily the most liberal paper in the state. They said he was one if the best proponents of good government in North Carolina General Assembly. Then Mr. Richmond attacked Mr. Jones for being in his father's will. Is being in a will a crime? No! Walter Jones, Jr. inherited a part of his late father's estate. Mr. Jones has stated repeatedly to the press that the money from that went Into his business and to his daughter's education To call this inheritance from his late father's estate PAC money is a pitiful attempt to make Mr. Jones appear to beapawn of special of special interests groups and lobbyists � and boy, that would make Raleigh lobbyists roll their eyes, choke on their steak dinners and laugh out loud � considering that Walter Jones, Jr. was the legislator who fought like a man possessed to reform the lobbying regulations in the North Carolina General Assembly. To say that Mr. Jones angered a few lobbyists is a Great Understate- ment. Poor Mr. Richmond. He is uninformed, he ap- . pears to distort the facts�and obviously is being fed a great deal of "bunk" by some people who are very afraid of Walter Jones, Jr. being the next Congressman for the 3rd Congressional District. I wonder why anyone would want to throw mud at Walter? Fortunately the voters know why Mr. Richmond wants to and knows who is behind these sad attempts to take the focus off of Martin Lancastor sic and his "puppy dog" devotion to the majority of the Clinton Administration's policies. Tony W. Joyner Junior Political Science To the Editor: There are no great solutions to the parking prob- lem. However, two of the worst ideas should be rejected. The first offender is one Parking Committee's proposal to add the bill for thecost of a parking deck into student fees. This is making the poor (who can't afford to have a car) subsidize the rich and the environmentally active (those who bicycle, ride the bus, etc.) not only breathe the pollution, but pay for the place to park the death machines. If ECU minority students have lower car-ownership rates, minority students would be more likely to have to pay for someone else's parking space! Thus, for economic, environmental and ethical reasons, the above mentioned policy should be dropped imme- diately. The second worst "solution" is the proposal by Danny Amaro, Director of Student Housing. I don't know the exact details, but basically, the proposal calls for not allowing freshmen to park by the colesium sic, renaming some spaces on College Hill, now labeled "Resident" to the name "Premium" then charging more money for the parking stickers. The keen reader will have noticed two things about the policy just mentioned: 1) there is noconstruc- tion of new parking spaces (although there will seem to be, for those whoqualify to shell out thecash) and 2) the university will receive much more money by merely renaming the existing spaces. I don't know if the "thinker" behind this plan is a fool or merely a crook, but 1 think either shouldn't have a position within this University.

Zoological Park in Asheboro has kicked off the spring season with a popular program called " Free Flight Itisa uniqueeducarional pro- gram that features birds of prev and it keeps breaking attendance records. In order to accomodate the expected high volume of people, the zoo has added a second month, April, to the sched- ule. But on Saturday, March 26, at 1 p.m the zoo will present a public preview of "Free Flight" in the amphi- theater. The "Free Flight" show combines the thrill of being near birds of prey,also known as "raptors with the mes- sage that these spectacular creatures need to be con- served. The event features such birds as hawks, vultures, owls, eagles and falcons, all in live demonstrations. During each program, the birds will perform natu- ral flying and survival behav- iors. Thesilent flight of a barn owl and the wind-floating techniques of a hawk are just two examples of what to ex- pect from tlieevent. In addition to the unfor- gettable experience of hav- ing these birds flying within a few feet of the spectators, visitors can ask questions and see the birds up close at the end of each program. Specifically appearing in this year's program are a golden eagle, a peregrine fal- con, a Harris' Hawk, a red- tailed hawk, a barn owl, a black vulture, an American kestrel hawk,a Eurasian eagle owl and a Moluccan cocka- too. "Free Flight" is being sponsored through a grant from Kerr Drug Stores to the N.C. Zoological Society, the zoo's non-profit support organizaton.

Then in 1488 their second album produced the international hit "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles) In 1993, Mary Stewart Masterson saw to it that "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" was the theme song for the movie Benny and foon, making it a hit once again, except bigger this time.

The author's parents, assimilated Jews, spoke German. His grandparents spoke Yiddish, the neighbors mostly Ruthenian or Romanian. At age 7, Appelfeld was de- ported to a concentration camp. He soon escaped, wandered the Ukrainian countryside for three years, and finished tine war both an orphan and a refugee. Since arriv- ing on a Tel Aviv beach in 194b, he has lived in Israel writing his books in Hebrew. Appelfeld neither considers himself a German writei, nor a Ruthenian, Romanian or Ukrainian writer. It would be incorrect to call him a Soviet w liter, or, more broadly, a Western writer. Even (.ailing him an Israeli writer some- how misses what he thinks of as his true nationality. "I am he says simply, 'a Jew- ish writer " In some JObooks over the past three decades, Appelfeld has fol- lowed two seemingly irreconcil- able principles. One is you cannot make art out of the I lolocaust; the other the Holocaust must not be Jit ot is outside the human experience. This has led to fiction that might be divided into two cat- egories, "Before" .md "After both edging toward an unspo- ken � and unspeakable � cen- ter. His goal is nothing less than to make the Holocaust both unique to, and part of, history. The work involved can be lik- ened to the tortuous process bl building a bridge between two great mountains.

The traditional sponsor of the 90-year-old parade, the South Bos- ton Allied War Veterans Council, said after Friday's ruling that it would sit out rather than march with gavs and lesbians Mayor Thomas Menino said there's not enough time for anyone else to organize the March 20 pa- rade, which draws more than 10,000 marchers annually. "I feel I have no other recourse but to tell the people of Boston there will notbea parade Menino said. He said a St. Patrick's Day cel- ebration would be held March 17 at City Hall Plaza instead. The veterans council will ap- peal Friday's Supreme Judicial Court ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, claiming violation of its right to tree speech, spokesman John Hurley said. The state's high court upheld without comment an injunction issued in December, when a judge ruled that the parade wasa place of public accommodation where dis- crimination based on sexual orien- tation was illegal. "It's a shame for the en tire I rish community that the parade will not go ahead because of bigotry of a small number of people said David O'Connor, one of 40 mem- bers of a homosexual group that had planned to march. In 1992 and 1993, gays and lesbians marched under court or- der. In a similar case involving the New York City parade, a federal judge ruled last year that the An- cient Order of Hibernians did not have to include a group of march- ers with contradictory beliefs. Blackwell sings of opera career NEW YORK (AP) � At the Metropolitan Opera's opening night of "A Masked Ball" in 1990, Luciano Pavarotti gave coloratura Harolyn Blackwell a scarf for good luck. "It pictures a little boy, as if he's in a circus Blackwell said about what has become her lucky charm. The scarf was appropriate because Oscar, sung by the 5 foot 1 colora- tura, is the page to the king, Pavarotti's role.Oscar became Blackwell's signature role. But with her stellar appearance last month as Marie in the Met's premier perfor- mance of The Daughter of the Regi- ment, Blackwell has another charm- ing role under her belt. "I said to someone that I feel lie a child who is just opening doors and discovering more and more she said in an interview. "I realize how much I don't know and how much I have to keep opening doors to learn about my craft, about being an artist. I didn' t go through' I know everything' because I started late in the business and had to learn so much "I was very shy she said. "My first voice teacher introduced mu- sic to me. It was the first time I could open up and communicate and not be shy. I remember being in a cho- rus, about the fourth grade. I walked on stage and I felt at home. Somehow, I could find something about Harolyn in the music I was singing. Happy or sad, I could ex- press my emotions instead of keep- ing them to myself Blackwell, who had been si gned to sing two performances of Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment, stepped in to do all seven perfor- mances of the season after the Met fired Kathleen Battle for what it called "unprofessional actions This seems to be Black well's season. Her first solo recording, "Strange Hurt was released bv RCA Victor the day after her first Daughter of the Regiment. The recording consists of two American song cycles: "December Songs about lost love and a search for better times, by Maury Yeston; and "Genius Child by Ricky Ian Gordon, who set the poetry of Langston Hughes to music. Blackwell was bom in Wash- ington, D.C the oldest of five chil- dren whose parents were teachers. She went to New York and was hired for West Side Story in February 1979. It wasn't until June that year that she gave a recital and got her masters degree. She did West Side Story, on Broadway and toured with the musical for more than two years. Blackwell then auditioned tor the Chicago Lyric Opera's appren ticeship program. "I did it to see if 1 wanted opera, which I was trained for, or musical theater. I wanted to see if I had the discipline, fortitude, patience and perseverance for op- era Today, beginningsingers often ask Blackwell the secret of an opera career.

And they'd like to inspire somebody to create the greatest music in the world � and to pro- vide a place for it to be performed.

They are spare in style and stark in subject, driven by the difference between how the world is and how people wish it to be. They tell of characters who long for hometowns that have changed forever, wait for loved ones who aren't returning, scorn the religion by which the rest of society has defined them. The author's most recent novel to come out in the United States, Unto the Soul, is another "Before" book, taking place at the turn of the century. It tells of Jewish siblings, brother Gad and sister Amalia, who have retreated to a mountaintop in eastern Europe and live in a civili- zation all their own. PROCLAIMERS Continued from page 7 ZOO From the opening paragraph, with its image of fire that "went dark and plunged into the abyss paradise is destined to be lost. A beloved dog goes mad and is shot dead by Gad. A nearby cemetery, for Jewish martyrs, has been van- dalized. Amalia, impregnated by Gad, falls ill and must be taken into town. The author again presents us with simultaneous, seemingly con- tradictory statements. The story says safety is an illusion, chaos in- evitable. The prose � intense and mys- terious, ever pushing forward � demands answers to the questions it raises, insists life goes on long after the characters have died.

"Itwasa tournamentballgame, that's for sure Pirate head coach Eddie Payne said after the loss. "There were lots of little things, turn- overs, free-throws, anda lossof com- posure that cost us The Pirates jumped early on UR. Feeding the ball into center Anton Gill, who scored 23 points, was the key to ECU breaking out to a seven-point lead in the first few minutes of play. ECU did a good job of holding Kass Weaver and Gerald Jarmon, who usually run rapid over the Pirites, to just two points total. This was due in part to the fine defensive play of seniors Lester Ly- ons (14 points) and Curley Young (two points). Two players who the Pirates failed to stop however, were Mike Hodges (22 points) and fresh- man guard Damon Bacote, who came off of the bench to score 17 points. The Spiders pulled ahead late in the first half. UR went ahead by seven on a pair of free throws by Bacote, making the score 27-20 with 3:54 left in the half.

Maryland and Loyola were the others. All-CAA team announced By Brad Oldham Staff Writer The eve of the CAA tourna- ment was full of anticipation as it was just hours away from beginning. With such a drama tic and unpredictable regular season be- hind them, the CAA all-conference play- ers and coaches awards were an- nounced to an anx- ious audience at the pre-tournament banquet held at the Richmond Marriot. As just about everybody pre- dicted, Old Dominion sophomore center Odell Hodge won the Colo- nial Athletic Association's Player of the Year. Hodge, the 6-foot-9 center from Martinsville, Va wrecked havoc on CAA players throughout the season with his 18.3 points per game, which was sec- ond highest in the conference, and Odell his 53.8 percent shooting from the field. Hodge also was an extremely effective force on defense for the Monarchs, blocking 60 shots this season, and averaged 8.5 rebounds. He scored in double fig- ures in 25 of 26 games for ODU. Fellow Monarch Petey Sessoms joined Odell Hodge on the CAA first team All- Conference. Sessoms averaged 17.2 points per game, and shot 42 per- cent from the 3-point line. From the tourna- tlOage ment championship winning James Madison Dukes, forward Clayton Ritter and guard Kent Culuko were awarded first team honors. Ritter and Culuko were three and four in conference scoring leaders, averaging 17.9 and 17.3 points per game. Ritter shot 63.5 percent from the field this sea- son, while Culuko led the confer- ence in 3-point shooting percent- age, with 45.5 percent. Rounding out the first team was American University forward Tim Fudd. Fudd led the CAA in scoring with 18.9 points per game. ECU guard Lester Lyons was a member of the second team All- conference, and was also named to the CAA All-Defensive team for the second straight year. Lyons led the Pirates in scoring with 16.6 points per game. This is his third year on the All-Second team squad. The Pirates also had two fresh- men on the CAA All-Rookie team. Forward Tim Basham, from Roanoke, Va and Skipp Schaefbauer from Elk River, Minn were awarded for solid play in their first year at ECU. ECU has now placed eight players on the CAA All-Rookie team in the last five years. Winning coach of the year was Richmond's Bill Dooley, in his first season as head coach of the Spi- ders. George Mason's Curtis McCants won the Rookie of the Year award. S wiiraners fair well at Rutgers (SID)�The ECU Pirate swim programs finished strongly at the Eastern College Athletic Confer- ence Championships held at Rutgers University this weekend. After the third and final day of competition Saturday, the women's team finished fourth, while the men finished sixth. The Pirate program was pitted against a 44-team field of competition from all over the Eastern seaboard. The Pirate men swam com- petitively, led by the fourth-place finish of David Benson in the 100- meter Freestyle. Teammate Chris Bembenek brought in another fourth-place finish for the men, in the 200-meter Back. Bembenek set a varsity record with his 1:51.30 time. The men's 400-meter Freestyle relay team finished an impressive sixth, as the Pirate pro- gram scored their sixth-place fin- ish with the efforts of only five swimmers. The women's program, using the talents of nine swimmers, was outstanding. Beth Humphrey fin- ished sixth in the 1650, while team- mate Hillary Stokes was 10th in a strong field of 100 Freestyle swim- mers. Elizabeth Bradner finished identically to her male teammate, Bembenek, by gaining a fourth- place finish and varsity record in the 200 Back at the time of 2:05.50. Freshman Melissa Phillips finished fifth in the 200 Hy at 2:07.56. Head Coach Rick Kobe said he was pleased with the way the Pi- rates' meet went. "We swam very fast he said.

The Pirates opened the break with a two-game series against Vir- ginia Tech, and swept the Hokies 7-3 and 9-3. During the weekend, the Pirates were led by the outstanding pitching performances of Johnny Beck and Lyle Hartgrove, who were backed, as usual, by the big bats in the ECU lineup.

Officials with FN Thompson- Turner will start a contractor's col- lege at Spartanburg Technical Col- lege next week to update minority firms on the techniques and meth- ods used by larger engineering and construction firms. The company's Bill Caldwell said the goal is to ensure a strong pool of minority subcontractors for the stadium work, as well as in- creasing the number of minority- owned firms doing business on other major projects. Caldwell said each subcontrac- tor working on the stadium will have to submit a plan on using minority workers from the local community. Stadium construction is ex- pected to take two years and cost $150 million. The builders hope that minority subcontractors will get up to 15 percent of the stadium construction. The Panthers are owned by Jerry Richardson of Spartanburg, also chairman of the Flagstar Cor- poration. The company owns Denny's restaurants, which have been plagued by discrimination charges. But a spokesman for Thomp- son-Turner said the effort to at- tract minority subcontractors for the stadium project is a separate issue.

The NIT tournament filled its field Sunday night with schools tha t were left out of the more-pres- tigious NCAA. Included are 10 teams with at least 20 victories and one team �Georgia Tech � with two victories over North Carolina. First-round games will be Wednesday and Thursday at cam- pus sites.

There are so many quality teams in the country that there are some very good teams in the NIT The Commodores (16-11) will travel to play Oklahoma (15-12), which had the highest RPI rating (No. 33) of the teams left out of the NCAA tourney. "Oklahoma is a quality bas- ketball team which plays in a great conference. They have very good players and we'll have our work cut out for us van Breda Kolff said. Georgia Tech, 7-9 in confer- ence play and 16-12 overall but left out as the NCAA committee chose only five teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference, must travel to Albany, N.Y to play Siena. "They have four starters that average in double figures and they have a great guard in Doremus Bennerman coach Bobby Cremins said.

U.S. District Judge Owen Pannerdecided Friday that the hear- ing can't be held before June 27. The association had initially planned to convene the hearing Thursday at Colorado Springs, Colo. Panner found that Harding's attorneys hadn't had enough time to prepare a defense to charges that she violated the USFSA's code of ethks by her involvement in the attack on Nancy Kerrigan. The decision cleared the way for Harding to skate at the World Championships, which begin in Chiba, Japan, on March 22. Figure skating officials had asked Panner to allow the hearing to be scheduled within 30 to45 days but Harding's lawyers wanted much more time. "It's certainly unfortunate that we won't beable to havea swift and fair hearing said Bill Hybl, who heads the five-member panel tfuit was to have conducted the USFSA proceedings. With the hearing delayed for more than three months, attention turns to the criminal investigation. If Harding is to becharged with any crime for her role in the Kerrigan attack, it appears it will happen in Portland, possibly as early as next week. Federal prosecutors decided this week to stay out of the case and officials in Wayne County, Mich reportedlv have resisted any at- tempt to move the matter there. Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk asked the Justice Department to review its position, but the head of the department's terrorism and vio- lent crime section said federal charges would not be brought. James Reynolds wrote that lo- cal charges of assault or conspiracy to commit assault would be easier to prosecute than federal statutes, according to Justice Department spokesman John Russell. A grand jury is to deliver its final report on the case by March 21. Much of the case against Harding is based on the testimony of her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her sometime-bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt. Both say Harding was in on the Kerrigan plot. She denies the allega tions and says she only learned people around her were involved when she returned home from Detroit after winning the U.S. champion- ships, where Kerrigan was struck in leg on the eve of competition. NASCAR's Labonte family escapes fatal crash (AP) � NASCAR driver Bobby Labonte and his wife were forced to crash land in an airplane Sunday night at an airport in Winston-Salem. No one was hurt.

"Given the styles of the two teams, it was going to be a two or three possession game. It was really oneofthosegamesthatcomesdown to two possessions Payne said. A foul by Hodges with 2:46 left sent Gill to the line to tie the game at 51 apiece. Hodges responded with a five-foot jumper to push the lead back to two, 53-51. After Robinson hit one of two free-throws, Hodges went to the line for UR, sinking both of them to make the score 55-52. After a Spider timeout, Gill was called for an offensive foul with 1:29 NCAA left to play. Another Gill foul on the other side of the court sent Richmond's Eugene Burroughs to the line, who hit one, making the score 56-52 with 30 seconds left. Lyons was fouled with 23 seconds left, and hit one qf two free throws, making it 56-53. A Robinson steal on a full-court pass by Metzger gave ECU the possession again, giving the ball to Lyons, who was fouled on a lay-up attempt. Lyons hit both FTs, cutting the lead to one. A Robinson jumper fell short with just seconds left to play, and UR won 58-55 after a dunk at the end by Spider Derrick Wall.

"The parity, theincredibleupsetsSaturday, made it very difficult That said, it can also be said that the committee this year proved equal to the task. It struck just the right balance of competition in a few places, notably the East and Southeast, which are loaded with the best teams. It made possible a few delightful confronta- tions in some others, such as the Knight-Chaney coaching matchup and the Glenn Robinson-Grant Hill "Star Search" battle if Purdue and Duke play as advertised. And by giving Arkansas a favorable routing to the Final Four via the Midwest, the committee has virtually guaranteed that the Nielsen box in the White House will be tuned to CBS as often as CNN. the seventh when Head led off with a single to leftfield. Britton then doubled to leftfield to score Head. Yerys advanced Britton after grounding out to the pitcher on a sacrifice bunt and Bermingham scored Britton with a sacrifice fly to rightfield. UNC-W scored one run in the eighth after Sanbum walked lead off batters Bourbeau and McBride. Both advanced on a Sanburn wild pitch and Bourbeau scored when Barnhardt hit a sacrifice fly to rightfield off of ECU's reliever Ja- son Mills. McBride was left strand ed whenMillsstruckoutChrisHolstad and Britt grounded out to the short- stop for the third out. With two outs in the top of the ninth, Chuck justice put the tying BASEBALL run on base, hitting a single to left field. Pinch hitter Eric Glascow walked to put the potential win- ning run on first. Bourbeau grounded out to shortstop on a 1-2 pitch to end the game. Sanbum earned the win (4-1) after pitching seven innings and giving up five hits, five runs and strikingoutsevenbatters. With two innings of work, Mills earned his first save of the year. McBride took the loss after pitching 3 23 innings and allow- ing two runs. His record falls to 0-3.

The two teams split a double header on Saturday, with UNC- Wilmington taking the first game3-2, by scoring two runs in the ninth in- ning. East Carolina won the second game by the same score. "Lyle Hartgrove scattered the UNC-W hits to a point where we could have won the first game, but just didn't in the ninth inning Overton said. "UNC-Wilmington deserved to win the game, and we didn't In the second game, thebats were relatively quiet, buta seventh-inning errorproved costly for theSeahawks, and ECU won the game 3-2.

"He was pretty steady throughout the course of the game The Pirates finished up Spring Break with the rubber game in the UNC-Wilmington series. Mike Sanbum and Jason Mills combined in hurling the 6-5 Pirate victory. "All in all, we felt like it was a verygoodbreak'Overtonsaid.

As a team, the Pirate offense has been outstanding, batting .325 as a team while outscoring their oppo- nents 168-57 in 20 games. Chad Triplett leads the roster in home runs (six), and his total is fol- lowed by those of Scott Berminghani (five) and Brian Yerys (four). Batting leaders include centerfielder Jamie Borel (.439) and transfer Rick Britton (.414), who is in his first season in the CAA. "As an entire unit, we have pro- duced well offensively from top to bottom Overton said. "Jamie Borel is the catalyst. He has played injured, and has produced and made things happen. He's gone above what we thought a person of his nature could do ThePiratepitchinghasbeenout- standing as well.

Thefull-timebasketball-oriented schools are Georgetown, St. John's, Providence,SetonHall,Villanovaand Connecticut The addition of the two teams for basketball will not takeeffect until the 1995- season since Rutgers and West Virginia are committed to the Atlantic 10 next season. The Southeastern Conference already has 12 members, while the Big Eight will become 12 with the addition of four schools from the Southwest Conference and the Big Ten has 11 members. Three years ago, the four full- time football members were joined in a Big East football conference by Rutgers, West Virginia and Temple, all members of the Atlantic 10 for other sports, and Virginia Tech, a member of the Metro Conference Tranghese said the school presi- dents took over the decision-making process on expansion about a month ago. That was when the football schools negotiated a five-year, $65 million contract with CBS that takes effect for the 19 season. Men's and women's basketball were included in the pact, a move that angered the basketball schools, who had to face an 8-6 breakdown whenever it came rime to vote, and who were not in- volved in the negotiations. "They negotiated a football cen- tract with a basketball ?ddendurrrto protect themselves in the event trjpy had to leave Seton Hall athletic di- rector Larry Keating said. "Some people felt intimidated by that Temple's presence in the Atlan- tic 10 along with Massachusetts, Duquesne, George Washington, Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure and St. Joseph's will help the league keep its status among the best basketball conferences in Division I.
