The East Carolinian Vol. 69 No. 21 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina 1iedsay, March 29,1994 10 Pages New resident advisor policies cause uproar By Tammy Zion Staff Writer More than 60 angry resident ad visors assembled in Mendenhall last Wednesday night to express concerns about a new payment method set to begin next fall. Hall coordinators informed RAs across campus on Tuesday that a compensation package con- sisting of a free room, a nine-plus meal plan and $210 per year would replace their current $330 a month paycheck. Aftera 15-minutespeechthat addressed current and future ex- pectations for RAs, and explained the new compensation package, Manny Amaro, director of Hous- ing, requested to speak with all coordinators and assistant coordi- nators planning to return next fall in a smaller conference room. Amaro then said he wtuldbea ail- able for one-on-onequestioning af- ter the meeting. An air of irritation and dis- content grew in the small hallway as RAs waited for the discussion to adjourn. "A tough team to beat" is the resident education's motto for this year, and choruses of, "If we're supposed to be such a team, why doesn't he talk to us like one?" ech- oed throughoutthehall. Newscam- eras and reporters left at 10:15. The crowd of students also thinned out but more than 20 RAs waited until Amaro opened the door at 10:35, more than half an hour after he en- tered the room. Mike Harvey was the first RA in for questioning. Emotions ran high as Harvey explained to Amaro that he felthe wasonly worth "x amount of dollars in food and that he does not want to eat on campus all of the time. He also told Amaro that he liked his job but did not know if he would be able to afford to stay wi th out living expenses. "We wantyou tostay Amaro said. "But the real world is this way if you take the total worth (of vour compensation package), it's more than you receive today Thenextstudentasked Amaro if he had received input before con- structing the plan. Amaro answered witha reluctant "yes Residentedu- cation stays in close contact with students. Seesaw?

Students will soon get a chance to register their vehicles by mail, avoiding the long lines that arise every August outside the Parking and Traffic Services building. Preregistration bro- chures will be mailed next month, around the week of the 18th, to currently registered stu- dents, staff and faculty. Prices for parking stickers will not be increased for 1994- 95. Regular permits will cost $70 for residents, freshmen and commuters. Limited stickers will cost $30, and motorcycle stickers will cost S15. The registration forms will need to be returned by July 15 to insure that they are processed and mailed out before Aug. 1, the date when the current park- ing decals expire. "We're hop- ing that students will take ad- vantage of the early registra- tion, rather than having to come back in August said PatGertz, director of Parking and Traffic Services. In the past, students have not participated in preregistra- tion in great numbers, Gertz said. "Last year we sent out 16,000 brochures. Out of that, we maybe had 1,200 or 1,300 responses. "Consequently, every- body was wrapped around the building lor two weeks in the scalding sun at the beginning of the semester she said. "We give them a good three to four months to register early for a sticker Gertz said that preregis- tration brochures will be mailed to whatever address the Registrar's office has on file. Students living in residence halls will have them sent to their rooms, and commuters will re- ceive them at their local address. If no local address is given, com- muters will receive them at their permanent address. Permits will officially go on sale July 1. Anyone may come in at that time to purchase a decal. However, Gertz said any- one who does not receive a bro- chure may still prercgister by mail by picking up an applica- tion at Parking and Traffic Ser- vices or calling her office to get a brochure mailed to them. Gertz stressed that permit regulations begin on the first day of class, no exceptions. Tick- ets will be given for all those parking on campus without a sticker. In other parking news, the Parking Committee recently passed two proposals. Begin- ning in July, students, staff and faculty will be able to purchase a one-day parking permit for $2. Currently, Parking and Traf- fic Services only offers a $5 tem- porary pass good for one week. Also, the ParkingCommit- tee approved a plan to fund the Transit Office. From every staff sticker sold in 1994-95, a $2 allo- cation will go to the Transit Of- fice to allow faculty and staff to utilize the transit system. "I did talk with our profes- sional staff, but I didn't take a for- mal survey said Carla Jones, di- rector of resident education. "I did meet with all of our RAs in January, but at that time the details of the package were not finalized Amaro's lengthy answersand strict adherence to the one-person- at-a-time rule allowed only five or six stu- dents time for questioning before police asked every- one to leave be- cause thebuild- ingwasclosing. Before leaving, �����mhbbnaa Amaro told everyone waiting that he would be happy to come to indi- vidual residence halls todiscuss the situation. Amaro said in a later inter- view that the urgency of the meet- ing following hLs speech was to in- form axrdinators and assistant co- ordinators where they stand con- cerning next year's policy. "I got the impression when I came in that all of the information that I thought they had, the coordi- nators didn't have and I needed to let them know some things before we went further Amaro said. "When I met with the coordinators, I told them that if they wanted to invite me in for an individual staff meeting with theirstaff, then I would be more than willing to go ' Hwy feels that these fu- ture meet- ings could be useful in bargain- ing aspects of the policy. "foe will be further discussion about the particulars of the plan so we will have a voice and we will be able to comm unicate our concerns ina more calm and rational manner in the future Harvey said. "The policy has already been established. This, I think, is just a bandage for the wound Amaro had scheduled the meeting to welcome RAs into the housing program. Beginning next If we 're supposed to be such a team, why doesn 't he talk to us like one? � Crowd o( RA�. regarding Manny Amaro, dlrjctoroHJoualno fall, resident education and univer- sity housing will merge, Amaro said. He was unaware that anyone was upset over the compensation pack- age and did not expect to be so over- whelmed by the heated crowd. "1 wasn't going to deal with it Amaro said. "I think student employees need to realize that they're still employees in that situa- tion RA Ally Koury agrees. She said thatseveral RAs, including her- self, acted unprofessional at the meeting. Koury w as upset because of the late timing of the information and that returning RAs may no longer get preference in where they would like to be assigned. "It'stheendof March Koury said. "We have to make our plans If they would have come in August or December, or even January, maybeitwould havebeen fair. We'd have had the ability to make the decision yes, we want to come back or no, I don't want to come back therefore I 'm going to moveoff cam- pus. We haven't had this ability and all my friends that I would live with in another residence hall already have their roommates. They've paired up, so I would be stuck with someone I don't know Koury also said that she has some misconceptions about the program. "They (coordinators) said we might be changing the plan but they kept telling us oh but don' t worry abou t it, those of you who are RAs, it will be grandfathered I was told by more than onecoordina tor that it would be grandfathered, mean- ing that wehad the righttochoose what we wanted Koury said. Rather than coordinators choosing where the RA will work, housing will be in charge. "We're going to hire as a team. Once they are hired, we're going to bring together the coor- dinators and look at peoples' strengths and weaknesses and determine where to place them (RAs) Amaro said. Housing is also seeking six live in coordinators for next fall. By 1995,all residence hall coordi- nators will live on campus.

ECU's Student Government As- sociation (SGA) is proposing a new system that will allow stu- dents to rent all of their textbooks for around $50 each semester, but not everyone supports this idea. The system, currently used by Appalachian State University (ASU) and Western Carolina Uni- versity, offers a more convenient way of supplementing students' backpacks without draining their bank accounts. "There's not one single rea- son why students wouldn't want this system said SGA Speaker Brynn Thomas. "This is a very efficient investment The one pitfall to the SGA's proposal, Thomas said, may be a faculty opposition. Faculty mem- bers tend to oppose the program, as it prevents professors from switching textbooks "on a whim Thomas said. "This system promotes ser- vice over investment he said. "The university is here for the students, not to make a huge profit off of them Right now at ASU the sys- tem is paid through students' tu- ition, where a fee of around $50 is added each semester. The fee cov- ers all undergraduate textbooks, but not supplemental materials, such as lab books. A review committee is set up at the university to review those books that professors have chosen for their classes. At ASU books are reviewed on a three- year renewal basis, which means they are reviewed every three years to determine timeliness of the ma terial and actua 1 condi tions of the books. New books are phased in as older books suffer wear and tear. Thomas said the SGA would like to see a two-year renewal review process adopted at ECU. An additional benefit to the program is the option to purchase the books at the end of the semes- ter at a 20 percent discount. This allows students enough time to decide whether they wish to per- manently keep the textbook with- out losing money later on in a sell-back situation, Thomas said. The program is simple, Tho- mas said. At the beginning of each semester, students bring their schedules to the campus book- store. They aregiven the textbooks required for each scheduled course, and sign a responsibility form that says if a student loses a book they must pay for it, yet still with a 20 percent discounted price. Greenville's University Book Exchange (UBE), a local storenotaffiliated with ECU,also sells textbooks and academic materials to ECU students each semester. "UBE will be hurt as far as book sales go, but to the students, thisshouldn'tbea consideration Thomas said. "The Umstead Act prevents the university from di- rectly competing with a private company, but this isn't consid- ered competition. The Umstead Act stops the university from competing as far as items that the students don't have to have Thomas said ASU's book- store manager, John George, said the system is not affected by the Dncontinu (5.2) Not Sur (2.7) Projected Average Amount Spent on Books Per Semester $60.00 $50.00 $40.00 $30.00 $20.00 $10.00 $0.00 Frrahmon Sophomon Junior The above results were tabulated at Appalachian State University in 1992.

Umstead Act, and also that the manager of ECU's bookstore, Michael Coston, used to work at ASU and is very familiar with the book rental system. Coston declined tocomment on the proposal. Thomas recenty visited ASU to learn more about the system and find out how students felt about the reduced cost of buying books. A 1992 Student Opinion Survey conducted at ASU re- vealed that92.2percentof those students polled (approximately 643) who had used the system favored keeping the program. Those in favor of discontinuing the program nu mbered 5.2 per- cent. Overall, response has See BOOKSpage 3 Research specialist looks at African-Americans in Pitt County By Shannon Cooper Staff Writer Most of the history of Afri- can-Americans follows an oral tra- dition passed on from the griots of Africa to the storytellers of North America. Mary Williams, research specialist and reference librarian, is doing her part to keep that tradition alive here in Pitt County. Williams recently directed a panel discussion and forum en- titled, "Growing Up African- American in Pitt County" at York Memorial AME Zion Church "As a research specialist, I know that very little is recorded about life in Pitt County as it re- lates to black people, so I decided that someone needed to do the work Williams said. Williams came up with a list of all the senior citizens in the Pitt County area and from that list, she selected those that had a memory of the past and their childhood. On the panel were George Garrett, Frank Perkins, Geneva Atkinson and Robert Lee Cherry, all natives of Pitt County. George Garrett is also known as "the old man of the civil rights movement He worked with the Southern Christian Leadership Confer- ence (SCLC) in Pitt County. Geneva Atkinson is the only survivor of the Atkinson family, who were prominent SeeFORUMpagre2 U 2 The East Carolinian March 29. 1994 - v Tountf qTt Tanker fire prompts heroism UNC-CH to allow sleepovers n six dorms Six residence halls at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill have been tapped for a new policy that would allow 24-hour visitation. The dorms were rewarded for their participation in a pilot program that was instituted last year, said assistant director of housing Al Calarco. Residents of the dorms overwhelmingly voted for the policy in 1993, but the UNC Board of Trustees rescinded the policy in ; November, citing that the trustees should have been consulted in the decision. After meeting with students, parents, faculty and adminis trators, the trustees in January voted to allow a gradual implementa Jjon. The program's initial phase will offer the unlimited visitation - Option to 1,492 students, 22 percent of campus residents. Students in a : designated 24-hour visitation dorm who want more restrictive guest � visitation hours, will be assigned another residence hall. Education takes tougher look at segregation The Department of Education has reaffirmed its intention to rely on tougher standards outlined in a 1992 Supreme Court decision when t reviews state plans for desegregating their higher education sys terns. At the same time, state officials were also put on notice that they had an obligation to strengthen and enhance historically black institu- tions. The announcement came at a time when Mississippi is consider ing a plan to close one black college and make another historically black institution a unit of a predominantly white college in a response toa desegregation case. In June 1992, the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that Mississippi had not done enough to remove the last vestiges of segregation from its higher education system. Tunnel painters at NCSU cited Four students at North Carolina State University were cited recently for decorating the Free Expression Tunnel with anti-homo sexual messages. CD. McManus, one of the students cited, said Public Safety officers frisked him and told him he could not paint those kinds of-messages. "I was just drawing a picture McManus said. "I don't think that was threatening anybody's life He said he and his friends were scrawling messages like, "Friends don't let friends become faggots and crossing out others such as the pink triangles, which symbolize support for the gay lifestyle. The students appeared before NCSU's Judicial Board last month, sparking debate over censorship and freedom of expression on college campuses. Compiled by Jason Williams.

(AP) � After a gasoline tanker blew a tire, overturned and burst into flames, setting the driver on fire, a man had to run pasta dozen onlookers to save the driver as he rolled on the ground in flames. "I was screaming for people to drag him away, but no one did anything said John Santos, who felt the impact of the rollover in- side a nearby YMCA, where he works as a security guard. The Getty Petroleum Corp. tanker was carrying 12,000 gal- lons of gas when it crashed Sun- day morning at the merger of Interstates95and 195, state police said. FORUM The driver, Jack Ordner, 50, had third-degree burns over 50 to 60 percent of his body and was listed in critical condition at the burn unit of University of Massa- chusetts Medical Center yester- day. Santos said he ran out of the YMCA and saw a dozen people watchingOrdner, who wason fire near the tanker. He ran across both high- ways, then used his hands to put out the flames on Ordner, who was trying to roll around to extin- guish his burning clothes, he said.

The interviews discussed topics such as local politics, edu- cation, civil rights, family life and entertainment activities centered around black businesses, neigh- borhoods and churchesduring the early decades of this century. Other panelists were Dr. Gay Wilentz, associate professor of English, Dr. David Dennard, as- sociate professor of History and Councilwoman Mildred Council. Among the topics discussed during the forum was land own- ership and the black community. Land was a valuable resource and ownership of property was often associated with power. During slavery, the landlord would sometimes give blacks the acre of land on which they lived to plant their own garden, explained Garrett. "There are some black people who have land that was left to them, but there are very few Garrett said.

They are spe- cialized in dealing with college stu- dents in the division of student life said Janet Johnson, assistant direc- tor of resident education. "When we ha veccxirdinators, live-in professional staff, and we require them to live on the campus and to eat on the campus and also saying to freshmen that we require you to eat here if you live here, we build community our staff has to be present in those places Amaro said. Because policy forbids RAs to hold other employment, those with- out financial aid may be left to bud- get $105 a semester. The majority of RAs do receive financial aid, and have serious concern about how the package will affect loans and grants. Rose Mary Stelma, director of BOOKS financial aid, said the possibility' of a compensation package hasbeen con- sidered before and will have mini- mal effect on RAs. "I pulled a random sample of RAs and looked at their financial aid situation to try and determine what would happen if the student re- ceived the current compensation, which is the salary verses the room and board waiver, which will be the future compensation.Srudentsw'ho were RAs last year would have re- ported their earnings as income on their financial aid application. Those earnings were having an impact on the student's eligibility for financial aid Stelma said. "What we're really doing is exchanging apples for oranges I understand thestudent'sconcernfor cash at hand. We've been telling the students who have come over that Continued from page 1 you're not getting as much cash but you're not paying for your room. You're not going to pay for your meals on campus you're going to spend half (of what was previously spent) Stelma said. She was surprised that onlv four RAs inquired about their indi- vidual situation and how it would be effected. "We really expected more. I told my staff be prepared because I think they're all going to be here asking 'how is this going to affect me what'sgoingtohappenand etcetera Our counselors and assistant direc- tors were ready to answer their ques- tions and go over eachstudents indi- vidual situation Stelma said. "In the end they are going to get a pack- age that is equivalent to or greater than their current financial aid, it's just not going to be as much cash in FIRE been consistently positive on the ASU campus, with the program gaining support from faculty, stu- dents and parents, particularly when shown national costs versus ASU costs. Nationally, the average cost of undergraduate textbooks per year is $485, as reported in the Oct. 23,1991 edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education. ASU's average yearly cost is $201.40, as reported in their April 6, 1992 Student Life newsletter. To ECU faculty who may op- pose the system, Thomas had some advice. "The faculty need to remem- ber that students come first he said. "Put yourself in the students' shoes.

RAs get rug pulled from beneath their feet I thought about being an RA once. And then I realized the amount of work involved. So I ended up writing for a news- paper instead. Go figure. There are some jobs in this world that you really have to love, or it could turn out that each second of every minute of every hour of each day is a living hell. It goes without saying that minimum-wage fast food jobs fall into this catagory and I figure that an RA position would figure in nicely. Imagine acting as a kind of parent for any- where between 40 and 70 college students. Yieah, it fits. : So, how does ECU show its gratitude for these fine individuals? That's right, they lower their overall pay wage, change the entire way that they are compensated for labor and tell them to live with it. Nice and diplomatic. And then Manny Amaro, Director of Housing, attempts to convincingly placate the! disgruntled RAs with the knowledge tbarthe total worth of their compensation package is more than they receive today, saying that "the real world is this way What they will receive under the new policy is a room, a nine-plus meal plan and $210 per year instead of their current $330 a month paycheck. Not only that, but you must remember that RAs are forbidden from holding another job while acting as an RA. This leaves many (those without financial aid) left to budget $105 a semester. Let's see, exchange chaparoning college students with room, partial board, $210 per year. Sound fair? Not for an overall thank-less job. When it comes right down to it, all the RAs wanted was a little respect and an unim- portant liberty called freedom of choice. The other issue is money in the hand. Under current policy, RAs don't receive free room and a partial meal plan. But they do get to decide how to spend the $330 that they receive every month. And they're also al- lowed to choose, with the aid of a resident coordinator, where they want to work. Not anymore. An assignment from University Housing, room, board and $210 a year, take it or leave it. Maybe some RAs enjoyed the old set- up. Maybe some RAs don't even like to eat on campus that often. Maybe this is a classic example of a proverbial rug being pulled out from under them. The RAs were reas- sured all along that nothing would happen and that all plans were still on the drawing table. Some were told that they had the right to choose what they wanted. In response to the more than 60 RAs that showed up last Wednesday to voice concerns, Amaro shot back with the rather hyper statement, "I think student employ- ees need to realize that they're still employ- ees in that situation If they didn't know before, Mr. Amaro, they sure do now. It's really unfortunate that some com- panies don't respect their employees enough to involve them with decision-making poli- cies. This surprise announcement didn't just annoy and upset a few resident advisors, but it tarnished an entire institution with the loud statement that the "little people" don't deserve to know their future. It may be your idea of "the real world Mr. Amaro, but that's exactly one of the many things wrong it in the first place. By Brian Hall Televisions still come equipped with off switches Some of my friends took me to task recently when I wrote in a column about me- dia bias that one could tell how much the media has changed when homosexuals receive more positive coverage than members of the clergy. Now two new studies from the Media Research Center have validated my contention that gays are ihhui covered pedophilia. On the abortion is- sue, the media aired 150 stories about violence and harassment of abortion clinic workers, fre- quently by fundamentalist Christians; it aired zero stories about the violence inflicted on the over one and a half million babies who were killed last year. Homosexuals, on the other hand, received extensively posi- tive coverage, more posi- tively than the reli- gious. The studies showed that it was very rare �1IB to even see a news story about religion. The national networks broad- cast more than 41,000 stories in their evening news and morning shows in 1993. Only 409 were about religion in any context. Gay issues, which are of import to a much smaller percentage of the population, were mentioned almost twice as often, with 756 stories. The studies also showed that reports on religion were frequently negative. The big- gest story of the year in reli- gion was the visit of Pope John Paul II to the U.S During his visit, the morning news pro- grams gave more than twice as much air time to opponents of the Catholic church as to the defenders of its theology. Roughly a third of all stories of the clergy dealt with If the programmers at CBS decided that they want to show nothing but violent depictions of satanic orgies, then that is their right. especially dur- ing the gays-in- the-military debate. Not only were these stories many times en- dorsements for the gay rights position, fre- quently the media ignored stories which would have been embarrassing to gay activists. For example, no network aired the stories of two gay sailors convicted by Navy court martial of raping fellow male sailors. Nor did they cover gay rights protestors who dis- rupted religious services. Nor were organized pedophile groups such as the North Ameri- can Man-Boy Love Association (N AMBLA) ever mentioned, de- spite the fact that such organi- zations are frequently allowed to march in gay rights parades. We can be sure, however, if we examine the entertainment programming of the networks, that they would be more bal- anced. After all, as they keep telling us, they only represent reality, right? Well, the facts show that the representation of religion is even more skewed. First, in a country were 90 per- cent of the population claims identification with a religion, somehow these mirrors of soci- ety only managed to mention this topic 116 times all year, or about twice a week. Further- more, negative mentions oc- curred 50 percent more often. When members of the laity who were really committed to their faith were shown, 68 percent of the time they were negative characters, only 15 percent of the time as positive characters. The clergy fared similarly, be- ing depicted negatively 59 per- cent of the time to 15 percent positive. Obviously, abuses in the clergy should be covered, just as they should in any other seg- ment of society. And unlike some members of Congress, I do not believe that these num- bers, or any similar studies about the amount of violence or sex, call for regulation of what the networks broadcast. If the programmers at CBS decided that they want to show nothing but violent depictions of satanic orgies, then that is their right. What is needed is not more gov- ernmental regulationrestricting the free flow of ideas, but more intelligent choices in viewing by Americans. Most sets still come with off switches. If religion is really as important to Ameri- cans as we claim it is, then until the networks start showing us that they understand the respon- sibilities that comes with their rights, we should all use religion a lot more often. r-f N OH, ANP f3y THE vlty, in w rtoN to YOUft PECKEASE N WA6ES, you ftA'5 WILL MSOj f�oM NodOM, Se ftliP a THESE fil0f-ThlES5 aNQ OlP(&tT$Hitiy) MA6tC"&gAN5f SoKfty we Oion't TZLL yoU THIS gr(LL�fc ,gur TVrtT5, Lfe! P�L WITH " By Barbara Irwin Clinton bucks probably invested in McDonald's With everything that is go- ing on in our world today, I find it completely insane that our own Republican party seems to find so much time and energy to bash President Clinton on this Whitewater mess. Fortunately, since I refuse to take the time to understand the specifics sur- rounding this alleged scam, I am not going to attempt to explain it to you. As naive as it may appear, what the nation watched this past Thursday evening should be enough to ignite a burning desire within all of us to demand all those in the opposing party to shut up and get back to work. While entertaining questions posed by our hungry media, Presi- dent Clinton did not attempt to side-step the relevant issues that many believe he is glossing over. In fact, by standing his ground, he explained with honesty and in- tegrity several financial situations experienced by himself and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and how those situations were handled. Furthermore, he publicly agreed to submit tax forms and financial documents dating back to the beginning of his career in public service. Yeah, critics, this really sounds like a guy who is trying to hide something. Concerning Whitewater, the Republican party and the Senate do not seem to give a hoot that this was simply an investment gone bad. It's not enough to know that the President and his wife lost money on this deal, but satisfac- tion will not be achieved until those greedy, reputation-smearing hypocrites know how much they lost, why they lost it and how they reported it. And as for the $20,000 check written to purchase a house for his mother � oooh What a jerk our President must be to want to do something nice for his dear old mom If our political leaders wish to make such an obsession out of what an individual spends, saves or pockets, why not investigate some of those shady brokerage firms, or better, our big-business, tax-evading tycoons? Clearly, these politicians could use a little reminder on where their priorities should be focused. To have so much publication on something so insignificant as to warrant a press conference on this sole issue does not say much for the concerns of our own nation, or this world. Former Yugoslavia is de- stroyed, North and South Ko- rea are potentially going to war, and our own wars of AIDS, health care, education and homelessness still thrive. Wouldn't it seem more pro- ductive and worthwhile to con- centrate our efforts in these ar- eas and not on the issue of where the President spent his last 5 bucks? Chances are, any money made by President Clinton probably found its way into some McDonald's stock where he converted it to aid the Ronald McDonald houses for sick children. Again, what a jerk I think President Clinton stated it appropriately when he said, "I will agree and com- ply to what (they) want so long as we can get through this and I can start to work again on the job I was elected to do Bravo, Mr. Clinton, because you will be getting a lot of other people back to work as well.

In other words, you 're solely responsible for your letters, so check your spelling. To the Editor: On April 6,1994 a very important decision will be made that will impact the East Carolina Student Body. That decision is the election of the new executive officers for the Student Government Association, and that deci- sion will be made by students such as yourself. The election of these officers may not change your life, but it will impact on how you are represented all next year. As currently the most experienced member on SG A with 4 years of service, I know what it takes to get the job done atalllevelsofstudentgovemment.lalsoknowthatsome of this years candidates have what it takes to get the job done successfully too. Representing the students best interest has always been my number one goal; whether it is working with the Athletic Department to ensure that our tailgating tradi- tion is not taken away; with city officials to make sure the Halloween tradition went on without any problems; working to improve to sic visitation policy in the Resident Halls; or working on a special parking commit- tee to come up with some long range solutions, I feel that I have accomplished that goal. I also know that Brynn Thomas, Shelia Boswell, and Michael Cames will carry on that tradition of put- ting the students interests before their own. I have worked with Brynn Thomas in SG A for the past 3 years, and although we have debated on many topics throughout the years, I know that he truly has the best interest of the students at heart. Brynn's goals to bring the book rental system to our campus and his actions that brought about improvements with campus safety are just the beginning. He is definitely the most qualified candidate for SGA President. I have also worked with Shelia Boswell, candi- date for Vice-President, forthe past three years. Shelia is one of the most enthusiastic people I know, not to mention the most capable person for this position hands down. Shelia will pickup right where I leave off and definitely make the most out of the job. Michael Carnes, candidate for Treasurer, is also the most experienced and qualified for the position. Mike has been very dedicated toSGAforthepastthree years and has held such positions as Speaker, Secre- tary, and many others. His good ideas, concern for students, and excellent computers skills is exactly what this position entails. It is very unusual for me to write a letter like this, but I feel very strongly that the best leadership is experience, knowledge, and dedication I feel that Brynn, Shelia, and Michael bestexemplifythis.Idonot want the students to be deceived by fly-by-night candidates who wait until the last minute to get in- volved with SGA. I ask you, where were they last year and the year before. Well, Brynn, Shelia, and Michael havingbeenworkingforyouthesepastfewyears,and I know they will continue to do so. They are not out to make their resumes look good, butactually care about the future of this school, and will continue to work to make it a better University. If you can take the time to read this, then you can definitely take the time to vote Wed April 6th and let your voice be heard. Troy S. Dreyfus SGA Vice-President To the Editor: The apathy among students that currently is ram- pant on ECU's campus is extremely alarming to me. But nowhere is it more alarming than in the ECU Student Government Association. This organization, though empowered to do so much currently does so little that it has become an embarrassment to the entire student body. SGA is supposed to be the voice of the students and their opinions about campus issues but lately they don't seem to be taking a stand on anything. Instead of bring- ing it to the administration's attention the parking catas- trophe that would occur once construction on the recre- ation center began and coming up with viable solutions to the problem, they have done nothing. In fact, all the executive council did was vote themselves staff parking stickers paid for out of SGA funds. That's right folks, your student fees paid to solve those four privileged people's parking problem, but what have they done to solve yours, absolutely nothing. What is enlightening to know however is that some students are trying to voice student concerns about the parking problem by forming a group known asSTOPP (StudentsTired of Parking Problems). What is even more intriguing is that this group is headed by two people who are also candidates for President and Vice President of SGA, David Reid and Scarlette Gardner. These students definitely have shown they are not apathetic about what is wrong on campus and are indeed motivated and willing to find solutions to problems; therefore, on April 6 vote for a new era in ECU Student Government, a proacrj �ra and vote for David Reid and Scarlette Gardner.

His new releases are bound to spell success. Staff Writer " I don't really think about pub- lic perception. What I do is a result of my feelings, there is no conscious choice involved; I'm just a slave to the randomness of my emotions said Matthew Sweet, in a telephone interview from Zoo Entertainment offices in New York. "Andalthough 1 do take good advice when i get it, I ignore popular opinion tor the most part and go with my instincts Sweet seems to be doing some- thing right despite hisself-contained methods. He related many of his personal conflicts with the record industry and corporate-minded people that hold some type of au- thority over his ability to create. "Negotiate as best as you can said Sweet. "Keep their opinion in the back of your mind, but stick to your guns Matthew Sweet is probably best known for his first break- through album, Girlfriend. Thesheer talent ot the artist and the basic,but complex, pop stvleotthesongs were quite refreshing to many people. Then came Altered Beast, recanted in early 1993. The flipsideof the singer's swcvterandintrospectivCrniV7(; Altered Beast looked at the dark side of the human state, man as animal. Now comes the sequel, Son of Altered Beast. Sweet's newest re- lease is an odds-and-ends collec- tion of remixes, live performances, and studio outtakes. It is an album of many live performances, most of them being old favorites from the previous two albums. A few re- mixes and a Neil Young cover help round out this soulful and organic release. This new release will help propel him a little further into com- mercial success. Sweet is very cau- tious about success since he believes all the really famous people are to- tally insane. Yet he says the "alter- native" scene isn 't quite big enough to let this happen. Speaking of the "alterna- tive" scene, Sweet had a little to say about that as well. " As of lately, the word 'alternative' means just the opposite of what it says. What is it an alternative to? It is definitely an outdated term, but I doubt it will change. 1 have been stuck in with the classic rock crowd at times. It's something I'm not comfortable with; I would rather be grouped in alter- native despite i ts lack of meaning Sweet accepts his status, but when asked about his influ- ences, he spouted off several na mes from 20 to 3(1 years ago. "Many people have o er-hyped my affin- ity to Neil Young. I do love his music and have done many covers of his work in the past, but he is not' the single influence behind my music Other names he threw out were John Lennon, Bryan Wilson (Beach Boys), Gram Parsons, jimi Hendrix, early Peter Creenwood (Fleetwood Mac) and the Velvet Underground. Manvi f Sweet'scon- temporaries in the college music world would probably cite many of the same names, especially Mr. Young. And of his contemporaries, Sweet said Nirvana was his favor- ite. "Kurt Cobain has one of the greatest voices ever Pearl Jam, Liz Phair and Juliana Hatfield have caught his attention as well, but he has his doubts about Smashing Pumpkins, Sweet has often made refer- ences to popular culture: Tuesday Weld on the Girlfriend cover, Japa- nese Animation in his videos, and Altered Beast. He admitted his love for most things pop.

This was the last song they played, and bv this time, the crowd was singing the lyrics along with the band See EMPIRE page 7 Don't Buy JV Take Your Chances iiih Texas Ricks Road bbbS I found myself looking inquisi- tively into space when I first listened to this album. With an eyebrow raised and cocked toone side, I won- dered innocently why a band from Scotland named themselves Texas and how rhatbluegrass twang found its way into their songs. The songs on Ricks Road stream "American roots musk " from the high and me- lodious peaks of lead vocalist SharleenSpiteri's voice. Bv (hethird listen, my eyebrow had returned to its rightful place and I envisioned nding through the American south- west with Thelma and I ouise. Quite cool. The album features an eclectic mix of acoustic blues, soulful howls reminiscent of Chrissv I lynde, and even somesporadic harmonica, vio- lin and piano. The songs are mellow, yet still allow some swing if the spirit movesvou Thetrack'TWan; lot ,o To Heaven" is a bluesy lament wherein Spiteri proclaims "You know I can't tell the truth because all I do is he" in classn foplin style with a sultry oca! twist In fact, if is Spiteri's voice that drawstheauditon senseintodrown It is provacativeand sensual, yet n t flamboyantly so. While the music is interesting, because it orients itself around a large assortment ot musi- i al instruments, the general effe t is quite indicative of rock-blues Worth A Try Definite Purchase Spiteri's ethereal singing juxtaposes this nxtsv, down-to-earth style and creates a very unusual and contem- porary listening experience. I've found that it's easiest to de- scribe music bv describing theplaces that match the mood ot that particu- lar music. In the case of Rk ks Road, speeding down the highway at 65 on a sunny day would be the first suspect. I ess likely suspects would be a smokey lounge, coffee house or a cliner between the hours of 7a.m. and 11 a.m. It music that inspires you to stomp around in a pit or bang your head is the type of music you enjoy, I wouldn't recommend this album� unless ot couise you're willing to swallow a few barbituates. This music is not an adrenaline rush, but savors the more refined moments in lite.

Zlata s Diary gives insight (AP)-Filipovic'sconcerns were those of many 10-year-old girls: math tests and the latest MTV mu- sic videos. Two years later, she was worn ing about food and firewood, snipers and shelling. Ideally, Zlata's Diary (Viking, 516.95), a voung girl's chronicle of growing up in wartime Sarajevo, should humanize the Bosnian trag- edy. It should show how war robs children of their youth. The diarv, which begins in Sep- tember 1991 and ends in October 1993, falls short, partly because the personal musings of a child are bound to have literary limitations. The writing is often mundane, much like the tedium of living in a city under siege. When Zlata ventures into the adult world of metaphor, for ex- ample, she ends up parroting tired anti-war cliches. Oneof them is"the pencil of war which spellsonly mis- ery and death And she isn't exaggerating much when she says: "I keep asking myself for the hundred millionth time: WHY? WHY ME? WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?" Like Anne Frank, who wrote her World War II diary in hiding, Zlata gives her diary a name and confides in itlikea friend. ButZlata's diary feels flat, lacking Frank'semo- fion and talent with words. Despite the diary's self-con- sciouspleas for peace, thereare some colorful details about living in a war: �The well-bred dogs running loose in Sarajevo's streets, aban- doned bv owners unable to feed them. � Having one big feast from the freezer � veal, chicken, squid, cherry strudei � because the elec- tricity has gone out and the food will go bad. I sing humor to fight fear: I ui own tiresome sniper, we call him 'Jovo was in a playful mood today. There he goes' 1 le just tired .mother bullet, to shake us up' ' But how honest can a diary he it you know other people are going to read it?

Shane IMkc, 752-WMW The East Carolinian Page 8 Sports March 29, 1994 Editorial Football needs conference By Brian Olson Sports Editor Thesearchfora football confer- ence goes on and could follow that path for quite awhile. The ECU football program is currently known as independent and does not associate with a con- ference. The closest thing to it is an alliance. ECU, Memphis State, Southern Mississippi, Tulsa and Cincinnati make up the Indepen- dent Football Alliance (IFA). These five schools play each other during the course of the season and it has been in existence for two years. Alliances do not cut it While other ECU sports programs are fine in the Colonial Athletic Association (C AA), the football team is not go- ing to grow or prosper without an identity. A few years ago ECU persued the Metro Conference for over a year and meetings in Atlanta fell through, mainlyatthetimebecause officials felt conferences were not meant to be that big. "We then began to chase the Big East ECU Athletic Director David Hartsaid. "Theydidnotpur- sue us, we literally pursued them. We made an awful lot of progress. We went candily from them show- ing us very little interest to almost getting in. I think had they taken nineteamsinsteadofeightwewould have gotten in The Big East was made even bigger recently when it accepted Rutgers and West Virginia as full- time members. Virginia Tech and Temple are still just football mem- bers, but only time limits rhem from full membership. RU and WVU were probally too strong in football to risk being lost to other conferences, with RU rumored to have been considered by the Big Ten Conference, and WVU having been in touch with Southeast Conference officials. 'To the best of my knowledge right now, we are not going to be looking at expansion for a little while Big EastPublie Director John Paquette said. "As far as our group goes with football membership, I think right now mere is probably not a lot of sentiment to expand right now The big part of that decision was a recent TV deal with CBS� five years for an estimated $85 mil- lion. If the conference expansion was voted down, Big East football schools would have broken off into a new league along with the CBS package, according to the Asbiiry Park Press . The basketball-only schools would have been left in the dust if the football schools left. Since CBS was outbidded to carry the NFL by Fox, they were hungry andaggresivetolandanew deaL "The best scenario for us was the eight football schools leaving and expanding Hart said. "Be- cause the domino fell in the direc- tionitdid,theBig Eastisnot going to expand the all-sports conference, cetainly not until 2002 when the CBS package is up Maybeeverydecadeorso there will be a Peach Bowl season, but in the meantime, there will be dismal seasons. Imagine all the energy and fan support of that great 1991 sea- son. Thatkind of yearcould happen possibly every few years after ECU was experienced in a conference. With the ACC already having four N.C. schools already, that possibiltiy is out as well. Whatcouldveryrealisticlyhap- pen for ECU football is maybe a formation with IFA teams and per- haps some other teams breaking away from other conferences. Since the IFA has only five members, it must look for some more potential members to form a conference. "In the last few weeks we have agressi vely persued some other po- tential conference alignment Hart See EAST page 9 Pirates salvage series with victory Photo by Harold M Mike Sanburn, seen here Saturday, pitched 7 13 innings allowing 11 hits, six runs (one earned) and struckout 10. He is now 5-2 on the year. By Brian Olson Sports Editor After d ropping the first two of a three game series against first place Old Dominiun, the Pirates realized it was time to play hard ball. After a mild offensive lapse in Saturday's double-header (6-4,3- 0), ECU rang up an 8-5 victory in the marathon like finale which ran for three hours and 56 minutes. The action was hot right from the start. After ODU (22-3, 7-2 in the CAA) went down in order in the top of the first, the Pirates (22- 7,3-3) came to bat along with some heavy thundershowers. The game was postponed for a hour and 26 minutes and the lighting bolt that hit about 400-yards from Harrington Field seemed to be a wake-up call for the Pirates. The Pirates grabbed their first lead in four games when they put two runs on the board in the first inning. Jamie Borel lead off with a single and scored on Scott Birmingham's sacrifice fly and Ja- son Head scored on Kyle Billingsly single. "We came together and de- Fab Five leave mark on NCAA (AP)�Teams that leave lega- cies usually win championships first. Not the Fab Five. Never content just to go along, those bald-headed, scowl- wearin gum-flappin baggy- shorted kids who came in off the playgrounds and gathered at Michigan three seasons ago flouted convention to the very end. The mistake now would be to think that that was all they ever did. "People who really know and understand basketball will love what we did for the game said Jalen Rose, who even with his newfound maturity remains the flashiest member of the original quintet. "Before we came in, there were plenty of things you weren't supposed to do. You weren't sup- posed to put all freshmen out on the floor. You weren't supposed to give them the freedom to just play But because of the success we had here, we kind of helped give the game back to the players. "Kids can go to a program now and get the chance to show- case their talents right away, not have to sit around and wait What college basketball will almost certainly record as their last stand together in the NCAA tournament came Sunday at the Midwest regional. It was there that the Fabs � their number al- ready reduced to four by the de- parture of Chris Webber, to the NBA last year � were finally overrrun 76-68 by an Arkansas team that was every bit as good as advertised. With President Clinton, the nation's No. 1 Hog fan, looking on, the Razorbacks employed su- perior size and depth and marks- manship to make sure Michigan did not advance to the Final Four for the third year in a row. "It hurts badly right now for the coaches, the players and the whole Michigan family said Juwan Howard, who converted 1 l-of-17 shots for a game-high 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. "We've gotten used to it by making the championship game two years in a row. It was like you could take it to the bank. I'm proud of that great run. But I'm proud of what we did this year, too, be- cause we did it when a lot of people doubted our depth and because we were without Chris Webber. "We stepped up our games and we had a g(xxl chance he added. "We just have to move on to next year In all likelihood, however, there will not be a next year for the Fabs. Not as we know them now, any- way. Before Michigan advanced a few rounds and a few sites beyond expectations, Howard,a junior, fig- ured to be a middle-to-late first- round NBA pick. But in the last two weeks, he played himself into the lottery and an irresistible payday. Though the same can't be said for his sidekick, Rose, who closed out an average postseason with a miserable 5-for-19 performance Sunday, he, too, made great strides forward in the season just ended. And he, too, will probably surren- der to the siren call of the pros by the time the draft rolls around in June. "It would be selfish to think of myself right now Rose replied when asked about that possibility. "This is a bad time for Michigan basketball That may be so, especially if Jimmy King and Ray Jackson, the two smallest and least celebrated members of the original unit, are left to fend for themselves. But if Sunday turns out to be the last time the Fabs played in front of a packed house together, it might also be the best time to remember their impact on the college game. Track visits NCSU Rhodes sets record (SID)�The Lady Pirat track team participated in their tough- est meet of the year this past weekend at the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State University. Freshman Dava Rhodes continued to be impressive bringing home a fifth place fin- ish in the 5000 meters with a time of 17:14. The time breaks the previous school record of 17:39.0 held by Anne Marie Welch. Also in the same event, sis- ter Tara Rhodes finished eighth with a time of 17:52. These are some of East Carolina's best finishes against extremely tough competition in the history of Lady Pirate track. In other action, the 4 x 200 meter relay team made up of Erica Green, Amanda Johnson, Nicole Crews and Carla Powell got sixth place with a time of 1:46.10. In the triple jump, Lave Wil- son placed seventh leaping 11.64 meters breaking the old school record held by Michelle Bullock and Nicole Crews. Falcons land George from Colts (AP) � Another year, another quarterback in Atlanta. The Falcons will start the 1994 season wi Ji their third quarterback of the decade after trading for Jeff George and telling Bobby Hebert if he plays here next year, it won't be as a $3.5 million starter. The Falcons could have had George as the first pick in the 1990 draft, but traded him to Indianapo- lis, where he was expected to be the savior of a foundering franchise. In- stead, he alienated faas and team- mates. "We've always thought Jeff is a real talented plaver Falcons coach June Jones said Thursday. "We felt ever since the day we worked him out he's probably the finest passer physically, throwing the football, we've ever seen. "The thing we've got to do now is take him to another level of plav. In our scheme, we're going to fea- ture his skills Jones said by tele- phone from Ocala, Fla where he was to deliver a speech. Skills have never been a prob- lem for George, who last year com- pleted 234 of 407 passes foi 2,526 yards with eight touchdowns and six interceptions fora 4-12 team. George brings to Atlanta the last two years of a six-year, $15- million deal. Only $1.92 million of that will count against the Falcons' salary cap. George won onl v 14 of 49 games he started with Indianapolis, the worst record amongall current NFL quarterbacks with 20 or more starts. He was sacked a league-high 56 rimes in 1991 and publicly criticized his offensive line for not protecting him. The Falcons allowed 40 sacks last season, two more than the league average. George went to the Colts as a hometown high school hero. "Maybe you just have to leave home to become the player and per- son you want to be George said Thursday. Atlanta dealtGeorge's rights to Indianapolis for Chris Hinton, Andre Rison and a No. 1 pick that became Mike Pritchard. Jones said to make room for George's salary, the Falcons won't exercise theiroptionon Hebert, their primary quarterback last year. He said Hebert, who Ls recovering from surgeiy on a frayed tendon in his right elbow, could be re-signed as a backup, but at a salary drastically less than the S3.5 million he wasdue this season. cided to get the intensity up and play Pirate baseball the way it should to be played Borel said. "If we come out like that every game we will play a lot better. We didn't quite have the intensity yes- terday, I don't know why; we found it today and got a win It was a big win and we are ready to roll now Another interesting highlight from the long first was when ODU coach Pat McMahon was thrown out of the game after arguing a balk. McMahon and the umpire squared off face-to-face for several minutes before the coach finally left the field. This was McMahon's second trip out of the dugout in the inning to argue a call. The Monarchs were quick to respond in the second. Ray Russin hit a one- out triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by shortstop Scott Harmsen coupled with Mike Cowell's RBI double to make it 2- 2. The key spot in the game came in the sixth when ECU's Chad Tripletthitasolo homer (his fourth of the year) and Chad Puckett knocked a two-run homer (his sec- ond) to move the score to 5-2. The seventh provedlucky to both teams. ODU's Matt Quatraro hit a two-run shot to pull within one, but the Pirates respond well during their turn. Brian Yerys hit a one-out single and scored on Lamont Edwards pinch-hit double. Edwards would cross the plate onTriplett's second hit of the game to make i t, 7-4. After Borel scored his second run of the game in the eighth, the Monarchs threatened in the ninth. Back-to-back leadoff singles and a passed ball pulled the Mon- archs to within three. Reliever Ja- son Mills then struck the side with the last batter representing the tying run. "It was a win we certainly needed head coach Gary Overton said. "We felt we pretty much had to win this game and at the same time we wanted to iron out a lot of the flaws that we seemed to develop on Saturday. We did not play well at all Satur- day and a lot of i t was some things we ironed out today. It was cer- tainly a big win for us today File Photo If ECU avoids injuries, both sides of the ball will be loaded with talent. Football scrimmages (SID) � East Carolina's foot- ball squad went through its first major scrimmage of spring prac- tice, and the results pleased Pirate coach Steve Logan. "This is one of the best scrim- mages in the last three years in terms of not having any flat spots said Logan. "The defense gave up just two big plays all day and the offense was crisp all day long The Pirates scrimmaged for 2 12 hours, going for 132 plays in Ficklen Stadium. Sophomore Marcus Crandell returned at the quarterback spot, seeing most of the snaps. The Robersonville, N.C. native, missed the last nine games of 1993 after breaking his leg against Central Florida in the second game of the season. "Marcus was a little rusty to begin with said Logan, "but he's right back under the saddle. I was pleased with his performance to- day, knowing where he has come from Crandell completed 19 of 42 passes for 214 yards with five in- terceptions, most coming on de- flections. The play of the secondary also pleased Logan. The longest pass play of the afternoon was 37-yard pass from Crandell to junior tight end Dwight Linville. "The sec- ondary did not give up any big plays said Logan. "They were moving to the ball real well today. That's the type of play we need to see during the season Redshirt freshman John Pea- cock was the rushing leader with 99 yards on 12 carries and a 57- yard touchdown. Junior Eric Blanton, who had 81 yards onl2 carries, also pleased Logan. The third-year Pirate coach indicated that both will see action in 1994, backing up JuniorSmith and Jerris McPhail.

East Tennessee State also wond the indi- vidual medalist honors with Keith Nolan's five-under par two-round total of 139.

Anderson finished tied for third with Garrert Willis of East Tennessee State fir- ing a two round total of 142 (two-under par). There were 130 golfers competin in the event.

ECU named advisory (SID) � East Carolina University'sStudent Development Program has been selected as one of five in the nation to become an Advisory Institution for the NCAA Life Skills Program, school officials announced Mondav. The NCAA Life Skills Program provides a systematic personal de- velopment program designed to reach each student-athlete based on his or her individual needs. The focus of the program is on the individual as a whole person-aca- demically, athletically and emo tionally-and on the changing needs and skillsof that individual in the years during college and See ECU page 9 March 29, 1994 The East Carolinian 9 Continued from page 8 said. "The independents who are out there give potential of a merger be- tween the great Midwest and the Metro. People want to salvage some- thing from the teams that where left behind from the Southwest Confer- ence While the ECU f ootball program does play some quality teams every season, (like Washington and Syra- cuse lastseasonand Auburn thisyear) ECU really does not have rivalries besides Virginia Tech. When the Bucs used to play N.C. State on a regular basis, it was a very popular game for both schools. That series was broken off, but ACC Assistant Commisioner Tom Mickle says the Wolfpack is seri- ously considering playing us again soon during the regular season. An association with a conference can bring in better recruits, coaches, fans, market exposure and possibly television. What everything boils down to is money.

A � mmmm�mmmm 10 The East Carolinian March 29, 1994 Magic running show with Lakers again (AP) � Magic Johnson kept encroaching on the court, unable to stay in the three-foot purple painted area between his seat and the side- line. Once, waving his arm to get his players to press on defense, he nearly clobbered a passing referee by accident. Johnson seemed to want to get out there again and get in the flow, strip off his pinstriped suit and re- veal the gold Los Angeles Lakers uniform. But the fantasy of Johnson returning as a player yielded to the reality of Johnson as head coach. And for one enchanted night, that was enough. Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who fired Randy Pfund last week,couldn'thavebeenmore glee- ful unless he had Johnsonback han- dling the ball. Buss had the next best thing, and the packed Forum rocked just as it did when Johnson ran Showtime. "It's a whole new era now Buss proclaimed Sunday night in the giddy aftermath of Johnson's first game as NBA coach, a 110-101 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. "You've going to forget the past and look to the future The Lakers' past is the future if Johnsonstayson-It'sfull-courtpres- sure on defense and fast breaks on offense. It's clever passes and smart shots. It's run, run, run. And, more than anything it's the excitement that Magic Johnson brings to the game. Fans gave him a two-minute standing ovation justforwalking to his seat after the anthem. When his name was announced moments later, and the song "I Feel Good" came blasting out of loudspeakers, theapplausegaveway to more than 17,000 fans dancing in their seats. Hollywood stars were here again. The buzz was back. Showtime. Magic Time. Hats and T-shirtsheraldinghis return. More than a game, this had the feeling of an event, a wonderful welcome home party thrown by the Lakers and attended by only the third sellout crowd in an otherwise dismal season. And in case any cynics thought Johnson was here just for the show, justabignametobringinmorefans until the end of the season, he dis- pelled that notion by coaching like crazy from start to finish. "No matter what happens, I will always remember this day and this game Johnson said, "because the guys putforth the effort. They're dead-tired right now When VTade Divac threw a pass into the basket toward the end of the game, Johnson laughed aloud and thought: "Godwaslookingout after me The whole night reminded Johnson, the players and fans of the old days. "Noquestionaboutit'Johnson said. "The guys got a big kick out of it. Theygotanemotionalhighoutit. They don'twantitto be just tonight. They want this type of crowd every night. And I told them, if they give this type of effort, the people will be here Johnsonlooked exhilarated. He used to talk after the games with ice on his arms and knees and abdo- men. Now he sat in his pin-striped banker's suit. "I need some ice formy throat he said. Mike Dunleavy, Milwaukee's coach, was the last Lakers coach that Johnsonplayedforin 1991. Dunleavy was hardly surprised that Johnson would start off as a winning coach. "Very few peoplecancome in Dunleavy said, "and get the kind of respect that Magic is going to get right away because of what he has accomplished, what he's meant to this organization and what he's meant to this city DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Cko MIAMI, FLORIDA THE PLACE FOR PROFESSIONALS IN EDUCATION It you are a qualified � Teacher � Exceptional Student Education Teacher � Math or Science Teacher � School Psychologist � Occupational or Physical Therapist or Therapist Assistant who wants to work in a dynamic, progressive community, your place in the sun may be with us! 1993-94 school year starting salaries range from $26,500 to $38,900 � Excellent Fringe Benefits Contact: MS.

GMAT GRE, LSAT and CBES Power up at: ECU Student Stores Wright Building 757-6731 ABLE MENDENHALL STUDENT CENTER GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27858 To the ECU community: We at ABLE would like to take the opportunity to respond to some of the negative criticism which both our organization and the Ledonia Wright African- American Culture Center have received in recent issues of The East Carolinian. First of all, we will state the objectives of our organization�as written in Artice II of the ABLE constitution�for the clarification of the ECU community: a. To provide fellowship for African- American students and others enrolled at East Carolina University. b. To involve members of the University community in learning experiences about the culture and history of African-Americans. c. To provide the University community with programs and activities that will expose them to the richness of the African-American contribution to global history and culture. d. To increase the University community's awareness of the challenges faced by African-Americans in their everyday lives. ABLE would like to call special attention to Article V of our organization's constitution, the membership clause: Membership shall be open to students, alumni, faculty, and administrative personnel of East Carolina University. Discrimination by race, color, gender, age, national origin, or disabling conditions will not be tolerated in membership practices. Obviously, ABLE seeks diverse membership. Because the name of our organization is "Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equality this does not mean that we are excluding non-Blacks. National organizations such as the NAACP and NOW are engaged in promoting the advancement of Blacks and women respectively. However, neither of these organizations limits membership solely to Blacks or women, respectively. Presently, our main concerns are about the two letters printed in the March 22 issue of The East Carolinian. The two letters contain comments negating the importance and need for an African-American culture center here at ECU. One letter stated that the Ledonia Wright building "should be bulldozed to make way for parking" and that Blacks do not need "special attention The other letter asked if the African- American culture center is something "that everyone needs It also stated tnat when honoring "a group in this way buiding a culture center, you step over the bounds of equality Both letters asked why there wasn't a WhiteCaucasian center at ECU. The opinions expressed in these letters are examples of why we have a vital need for a culture center. Neither of the letters recognized the fact that building a culture center to educate others about our history and culture is not "honoring" or "exalting" us. Asking about a WhiteCaucasian culture center is trivializing the issue for several reasons. First of all, whether many people want to admit it or not, we are all taught about Caucasian culture from the day we first enter primary school until the day we die. In some sense or another, then, whether you agree with us or not, Joyner Library and Mendenhall Student Center can be viewed as of any kind about African- Americans or any other racial or cultural minority in these buildings? Before some of you say that there were African- American displays for Black History Month, you must realize that Blacks exist all the time and not just in February). East Carolina University has realized the importance of multicultural education as is evident by the school's implementation of the P-2 (Purple Pride-squared) program. This is a step in the right direction towards more diverse learning experiences for aP of the ECU community, and it is for that reason that we justify building and African-American culture center and any other type of multicultural center. We at ABLE do not appreciate the ridiculing of our organization. While we respect the right of others to express their opinions, we think this could be done in a more courteous manner. Once again, we state that our meetings are open to all members of the ECU community and we would greatly welcome your attendance at these meetings. This would be a big step towards promoting greater understanding between us all. TUWAMOJA! (Together we stand!)
