Eastman feels that the power of the student body lies in their numbers. "If we can get people moti- vated, we can accomplish what- ever we want Eastman said. Eastman has spent two years on the SGA and has served as a member of the Screenings and Stu- dent Welfare Committees, has sen ed as one of six students on the Media Board and as one of six students on the Student Union board of directors. He has also served as the treasurer and social chairman of Lambda Chi Alpha and the presi- dent of the interfraternity council (IFC), where he oversaw more than 1,000 members. During Eastman's term in IFC, the organization won three awards for judicial, social and management programming. This was the first time ECU's IFC has earned three awards in one year. Eastman attributes this suc- cess to the collective action of the group and hopes to implement this philosophy for the SGA. As SGA president, Eastman hopes to extend the drop date to the end of the semester, give stu- dents more drops and implement a passfail system where students could declare up to two classes passfail until the last day of the semester. These classes would count towards credits for gradua- tion but would not be calculated into students' GPAs. Eastman also plans to con- tinue his work on a program that would allow students to use their meal cards at area restaurants, and to begin working towards having the library open 24 hours during exams, improving student park- ing and increasing lighting and security on campus. "I am the only candidate to be held accountable by passing out hand-outs stating exactly what I plan to do and not making open- ended verbal promises Eastman said. v til David Reid David Reid, a junior politi- cal science major, is running for SGA president and plans to bring a fresh perspective to student gov- ernment at ECU. "I think the students need a president who will be more of a voice concerning the problems on campus such as crime, parking, and the spending of student fees said Reid. Most of Reid's political ex- perience lies in local politics where he serves as the chair of Greenville's Precinct 7, which cov- ers the ECU campus. Reid is re- sponsible for organizing the polls in his district and, at 21, he is the youngest person ever elected to this position. Reid also managed Mayor Nancy Jenkins'campaign, worked on the campaigns of U.S. Senator Terry Sanford and N.C. Senator Ed Warren, and is managing the cam- paign of Cliff Everett for the seat of Superior Court Judge. "I have very good ties with the city and I would like to see stronger ties between SGA and the city Reid said. "We need to work together on such issues as noise ordinances and parking Reid feels that the SGA has become an inclusive group that is not metting the needs of all of the students. He hopes to make the representation match the students at ECU moreclosely. Reid also plans to publicize the spending and ac- tivities of the SGA through thecam- pus media. "The SGA spends over $100,000 in student fees each year and I want students to know where their money is being spent Reid said. Reid plans to develop a series of comprehensive long-range goals based on student input. He expects to gain this infor- mation by sending SGA represen- tatives to campus organizations and produce a survey to determine what students want from SGA. Reid plans to base his actions on the needs of students. "I am trying to avoid insulting the stu- dents with unrealistic goals just to get their votes Brynn Thomas Brynn Thomas, a candidate for SGA president in Wednesday's election, is running on a platform of experience. Thomas is a junior majoring in English and minoring in politi- cal science. He has served on the SGA for three years, and has been an active member of the Appro- priations and Elections Commit- tees, Chair of the Procedures and Appropriations Committees and Speaker of the Legislature. Thomas has also served on the Judicial Review Committee, the Fine Arts Funding Board, the ECU Transit Board, the Faculty Senate Credits Committee, and as the Sigma Phi Epsilon Interfraternity Council (IFC) representative. "The relationships that I have established in these positions with student leaders, university administrators, faculty and city officials will enable me to more easily attain the goals that I have presented in my campaign Tho- mas said. As a member of SGA, Tho- mas sponsored a resolution in support of the new grade replace- ment policy, sponsored theCam- pus Safety Act, worked with city officials to ensure the Halloween celebration downtown and is cur- rently working on the textbook rental system. "My commitment is to the students of East Carolina Uni- versity. Putting the students first is the key to a responsive student government Thomas said. Thomas has divided his goals into five specific areas. He plans to continue his work on the textbook rental program and to implement the system during his term, continue the campus safety program, improve parking for students on campus, bring back the print yearbook and promote student unity through SGA- sponsored events. "I will encourage students and student organizations to uti- lize the SGA as a means of devel- oping leadership, receiving fi- nancial support, and expressing ideas and opinions Thomas said. Three at bat for VP position Treasurer, secretary seats open By Tammy Zion Staff Writer In alphabetical order, the vice presidential candidates for next year are Sheila Boswell, Scarlette Gardner and Chris Munley. Each have individual reasons and qualifications for wanting to represent ECU's stu- dent body. Sheila Boswell has been in SGA for three years. She is the chair of the screenings and ap- pointments committee and be- lieves this position has allowed her to interact with the student body and stay in touch with stu- dent concerns and interests. She is an elementary edu- cation major, Teaching Fellows recipient and an ECU ambassa- dor. She wants to bring in more funding for concerts through student unions, to reinstate a print yearbook and push new parking projects forward through the use of surveys and presentations to the legislature. Boswell feels that students, as well as her opponents, some- times have unrealistic expecta- tions for SGA. "It's really hard for me to see someone who has never been on SGA or has never been to a meeting just jump into a posi- tion such as vice president she said. "My opponents are mak- ing a lot of promises that they can't keep, SGA's hands are tied to a certain point and the admin- istration has to take on active role after we make our resolu- tions. I'm going to graduate next May and go out and get a job in an elementary school and I'm going to see a lot of things about that school that I want to change, but they're not going to make me principal because of that Boswell said that although she and Brynn Thomas share ideas and work together, she is very flexible and a team worker for the students' benefit. Scarlette Gardner said that she had made previous attempts to join SGA, but the opportunity was not offered. Gardner has several reasons for wanting to be vice president. "I see the need for change in the way student government is currently run she said. "There are a lot of things that need to be done to make it a more effective organizations such as recruitment and com- munication. Nobody seems to know exactly what's going on in SGA; people don't know how to get involved. They have no idea See VICE PRESIDENTS page 3 By Jason Williams Brown v. Board decision remembered Assistant News Editor Four candidates square off in two races for SGA executive offices Wednesday. In the race for SGA Secretary, Maureen McKenna faces Doug Spears, and in the race for SGA Treasurer, Michael Carnes faces John Hardie. Secretary Candidates: Maureen McKenna is a sophomore therapeutic recreation major from Olney, Md. She has served on SGA since the begin- ning of this semester as a day student representative. McKenna is also vice president of the Panhellinic Council and a mem- ber of Alpha Omega Pi sorority. "I serve on the student wel- fare committee McKenna said. "We've done a lot this year, and I have learned a lot from being on SGA. I'm really interested in it McKenna currently serves on the Student Welfare Commit- tee. "Our main goal for the year was to help expand the student health building and get some kind of AIDS testing through student health she said. "Even though I didn't pass any resolutions, I voiced my opin- ion on several issues McKenna said. "In my committee, we dis- cussed the student health center, AIDS testing, the campus safety act and expanding the computer labs. "Some of the things I would like to work on next year are the book rental plan, where you can rent books for the semester for $50, and again, the AIDS testing, because it has become such a prob- lem these days. "I also want to make fresh- men aware of what SGA is, and how to get involved. I know, when I was a freshman, I didn't know very much about SGA McKenna said she was es- pecially qualified for the duties of secretary, which include taking attendance, typing and distribut- ing the minutes and assigning people to committees. "I'm a very organized person she said. "I'm dedicated. Whenever I set out to do something, I get it done. "I also have leadership ability � I have had experience in leadership positions in the past. I also take SGA very seri- ously, which I don't know if everyone does Doug Spears is a junior business major from Winston- Salem who has served on SGA for a little over a year. He said the current treasurer, Rich Paravella, sparked his interest in student government. "I'm glad I did join SGA; I've seen how things work Spears said.

Board of Education Supreme Court deci- sion. In recognition of this occa- sion, ECU's Minority Presence Initiative presented "A Forty Year Retrospective of Brown v. Board of Education: The Continuing Quest for the Elusive Prize a lecture by Dr. Robert A. Pratt. The lecture dealt with the impact of the Brown decision, its evolution and the effect that presi- dential administrations had on race relations in the United States in the past. "The Brown decisions spoke directly to the issue of school seg- regation Prattsaid. "Itservedas the catalyst that would ignite the Civil Rights Movement Pratt gave his assessment of the effect that presidential admin- istrations had on race relations and the extent of black support. According to Pratt, black support was most evident during Jimmy Carter's campaign and election. But enthusiasm for him diminished as they realized he did not address economic prob- lems of the black community. "After Carter's first year in office, an additional 131,000black families fell below the federal gov- ernment poverty line and black unemployment was twice that of whites Pratt said.

About 80 students planned to visit every house and first-year dormitory to deliver literature and collect donations for the truck, which would transport food and medicine to Sarajevo and possibly carry out refugees. The group hopes to solicit donations of at least $10 each and to raise awareness about the plight of Bosnian civilians, thousands of whom have been killed, raped and tortured over the past two years in a campaign of "ethnic cleansing A benefit concert was held March 4 at Boston University's Morse Auditorium. Several Harvard stu- dents helped arrange the concert of Turkish, Slavic, American, Peruvian and other ethnic music. Policy aids children of UNC law alumni An admissions policy begun this year is giving a break to nonresidents whose parents are UNC-Chapel Hill Law School alumni by allowing their applications to be considered with those of in-state residents. Dean Judith Wegner defends the policy, saying it is practiced at other public law schools and the out-of-state applicants must still pay the higher, out-of-state tuition. Annually, about 3,200 people apply to the law school, but only 235 are accepted, and most of them are in-state residents. Some graduates of the law school have said the policy discriminates against minorities and nonresidents whose parents did not attend UNC. Wegner said only a handful of alumni children are entering the law school under the new policy. � Even so, by admitting more out-of-state applicants, the university ; gets more money because of the higher tuition those students pay. � !

CHARLOTTE (AP) � People who saw homes and busi- nesses damaged by a tornado and thunderstorms feel neglected as the Final Four college basketball festivities continued in the city. Thirty houses, most on Charlotte's west side, were de- stroyed when the storms hit on March 27. One person died and damage to 300 buildings in Mecklenburg County was esti- mated at more than $15 million. Other storm damage was regis- tered on that day in the mountain and the Piedmont sections of North Carolina. Some Charlotte residents in the damaged areas were angry Sunday over how long it has taken to clean up their neighborhoods and get back into their homes. "People need to pay more attention to the buildings and get them fixed instead of the Final Four said Nicole Smith, who was visiting her mother in the Little Rock community of Charlotte, where damage occurred. "These people are a little more impor- tant AssistantCity Manager Don Steger says the city is doing what it can to clear the estimated 10,000- plus cubic yards of trees, limbs and building materials from Charlotte's streets and homes. On Friday, Gov. Jim Hunt asked Washington for federal disaster aid. Steger asked Sunday that folks drag tree limbs and other mulchable material to the curb for pickup this week. In the wrecked areas, doz- ens of windows and doors re- mained boarded up, and "unsafe signs were tacked to doors. There are signs that the city is getting back to normal, despite the influx of visitors for the tour- nament. The temporary Red Cross shelter at West Mecklenburg High School was closed; residents re- turned home or went elsewhere. The Dairy Queen and Bar-B-Q King restaurants on Wilkinson Boulevard, which suffered exten- sive damage, reopened in time for the Final Four. "We like to think we control things, but there's somebody much higher who really controls things said Nettye Calhoun, whose house is condemned, car is crushed and trees are mangled. "It really takes faith, endurance and patience Fai thmay remain strong, but endurance and patience are run- ning thin "The initial shock is gone said Loretta Cochrane. "The shock now is getting the mess cleaned up and figuring out where do you go from here Cochrane says everybody from President Clinton, who visited Charlotte on Saturday, to city government and other residents should help the dev- astated communities. Too much basketball and not enough com- passion is how she has seen people respond to the torna- does. Milton Kidd, who lives in the damaged areas, says he is just happy to have escaped un- harmed. "I learned it ain't nothing to play with Kidd said. "The next one might be the big one.

"Our first objective is to freeze the program, to stop the program where it is now Perry said on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "That is by all odds our greatest concern. At such time as we succeed at that, then we can be concerned about rolling back the program they have Perry said the United States does not want to provoke a war but is willing to risk inciting North Korea. "We will take a very firm stand and strong actions hesaid. "It's conceivable where those ac- tions might provoke the North Koreans into unleashing a war, and that is a risk that we're tak- ing Perry said he does not ex- pect results "this week or next week. The problems we're con- cerned about will take a year or two to unfold, so we can be firm, but we can be patient, too he said. But if the situation does not change in six months, the United States would move "out of the diplomatic mode and into the mode of putting pressures" on North Korea, including economic sanctions, he said. Perry said the CIA believes North Korea already has at least one and possibly two nuclear bombs and is continuing to de- velop atomic weapons. "I know they're lying when they say they're not developing a nuclear program Perry said. "I do not know they're lying in say- ing they could very well con- ceive that having a nuclear-free peninsula would be to their ad- vantage The United States and the BROWN United Nations have been press- ing North Korea to allow inter- national inspectors to examine its nuclear sites.

The number of whites in public schools dropped, some moved to white academies while others moved to the suburbs.

(AP) � The Den ton police chief said his officers abandoned a high-speed chase with a car that moments later collided with another vehicle head-on in an accident that killed six people over the weekend. Two police officers had aban- doned their pursuit of Jerry Gray Harrison of Lexington on Sa turday night before his car reportedly crossed the center line of N.C. 109 and slammed into a vehicle carry- ing five people, the chief said. "We do not involve ourselves in high-speed chases Donald Clark said. "But unfortunately we cannot be responsible for what someone else does behind the wheel of his car Harrison was killed, as well as the five in the other car, who were all from Thomasville. The wreck killed thedriver, FrankJames Canty, 46; Estele Montgomery, 39; her 6- year-old son, James; her 12-year- old niece, Lisa Wilson; and Cedric Antonio Kinard, 25, who worked with Montgomery at a plastics com- pany. There were no survivors. Den ton police began chasing Harrison's Pontiac after receiving a tip that the 46-year-old Lexington man was driving erratically, Clark said. The pursuit started when Of- ficer Tammi Britt and Sgt. Tommy Williams saw Harrison's car pull out of a convenience store parking lot. With lights and siren on, the officers chased Harrison for about a mile, reaching speeds of about 65 mph, authorities say. But when Harrison accelerated after crossing North Main Street, the officers called off the pursuit, Tlie News & Record of Greensboro reported yesterday. "We're not gonna drive like VICE PRESIDENTS that said Clark, who noted that the department prohibits officers fromengagingin high-speed chases. The highway patrol reported a Den ton police officer had reduced his speed after he got the license plate number, although he was still in pursuit. Trooper B.K. Ratliff of the state Highway Patrol estimated Harrison's car was traveling at 100 mph at the time of the crash. Wit- nesses said Harrison,46, was north- bound when he veered into the southbound lane, apparently to pass two cars ahead of him.

She also feels strongly about increased communication. She said she wants to reach students through hall councils and surveys or in- formation printed in The East Carolinian, and to recruit public interest by means of advertise- ments and banners across cam- pus. "We (David Reid and I) want to set up a list of long- range goals and objectives of SGA maybe not this year, but so that every year when a new adminis- tration comes in, there is already something in progress and they don't have to start all over again from point zero Gardner said. Chris Munley is currently active with ECU's Interfraternity Council (1FC), Vice president of Kappa Sigma and office manager for ECU's division of continuing education. A business adminis- tration major, Munley wants to heighten student awareness about SGA. He said that SGA has not benefited students recently, and that all too often when a student is elected, he or she may only be interested in getting re-elected. "(If I win the election) I will be able to actually get down in the trenches and do a little fighting for the students' rights on campus Munley said. Munley, along with his run- ning mate Ian Eastman is hoping to extend library hours during exam weeks, incorporate a pass fail policy while in office, expand meal card use to off-campus es- tablishments and to step up cam- pus security for student well-be- ing, including theft of personal property such as bikes. "Our main goal is to change SGA into a proactive organiza tion instead of a reach ve organiza tion Munley said. Munley is extremely con- cerned that the SGA recently "mis- managed funds" by putting a large sum of money into a frozen bank account for future use. He said the money will just be replenished next year and it could have been put to proper use now. "Twenty-five thousand dol- lars would have bought a heck of a lot of lights for campus Munley said. Munley wants to increase student awareness about SGA. Students are often uninformed as to who is running in an election, when the elections are and other important information, he said. just boom Ratliff said.

Harrison's license had been revoked since his third DWI con- viction in November 1988, Ratliff sa id. Routine tests will be performed to determine whether alcohol was a factor in Saturday's crash, he said. Television station VVGHP in High Point reported Sunday night that Canty's license was also re- voked. "It's unfortunate what hap- pened but I think wedid thebestjob we could do Clark said.

Clinton was to throw out the first ball at the Cleveland Indians' new park, Jacobs Field. His next stop: Charlotte, N.C, for the NCAA college basketball cham- pionship between his home-state Arkansas Razorbacks and Duke. First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is not staying home, ei- ther. She plans to toss out the first pitch for her beloved Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. It is a last gasp of fun for the president, who begins a four-day, five-state tour Tuesday to promote his sagging health care campaign. He returned Saturday from a West Coast vacation. The former Arkansas gover- nor already attended two Razor- back games in the tournament. He planned to spend the night in Charlotte, and promote his health care plan there Tuesday.

So I switched lover to appropriations and became ' the secretary of that committee. "Since I've been involved on SGA, it has become an interest of mine, and I am interested in mov- ing up and becoming more in- volved he said. "As I move up, it will give me more confidence and help me organize the way I do things, and actually, will be a big building block for myself Spears said that his work on the appropriations committee is similar to the tasks he will have as SG A secretary. "I've been on SGA for quite a while he said. "I know the ins and outs, and two, I've been secretary of my committee, and I've dealt with the current secretary also. "It's more of a cut-and-dry job. It's not a position where I have a platform and here I say 'this is what I'm going to do Spears said. In his previous service on SGA, he said he helped new orga- nizations such as the investment club and the construction man- agement club receive funding. "i think I do have good ex- perience on student government Spears said. "My excited interest in SGA, I think, will help me do a good job and will encourage oth- ers to do their jobs as well. It's almost like a hobby Treasurer Candidates: Michael Carnes is a junior marketing major from Charlotte who has served on SGA for sev- eral years. He currently serves on SGA as a day representative and has served as SGA secretary and speaker of the house. In his ca- pacity of secretary, Carnes sat on the Fine Arts Funding Board and the Transit Board. He is also a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fra- ternity, where he has served as vice president and headed up the annual "Walk to Wilmington" fundraising drive. At the beginning of last se- mester, Carnes said he met with Public Safety to facilitate the bike patrol. Currently he is working with Richard Brown, vice chan- cellor for business affairs, on a plan that would allow students to pay tuition in monthly install- ments. ECU has had such a plan, but the company that created the program had been bought out. "Brown is going to form a committee that will consist of himself, someone from financial aid and representatives from student government to try to look into this so we can better serve the students Carnes said. "We need to make sure every student has the opportunity, whether they're paying for school, or their parents are paying for it Carnes said his experience on SGA for the previous three years qualifies him for the posi- tion of treasurer. "I've worked closely with the past Treasurers �Brad Osborne, Rich Paravella he said. "Actually, Rich has sat me down and shown me a lot of what he does. While he was gone to an SGA national convention, I was taking care of the financial reports for him. "I'm aware of what the re- sponsibilities for Treasurer are, because the responsibilities for treasurer and the responsibilities for speaker are pretty much the same Carnes points to his accom- plishments on SGA, such as the bike patrol, as proof of his quali- fications for office. "Instead of saying 'I'm going to do this if elected I'm already trying to do it now, even before the elections. Right now, I'm trying to increase the emergency loan from $30 to $50. "I think it's very important that the treasurer sit in on the appropriations committee meet- ing, not to vote, because they cannot vote. The amount of money that goes to organizations is not up to the treasurer. "Another thing that Keith and I have talked about is the talk about increasing student fees he said. "We feel that the treasurer should sit on the com- mittee and put together a packet to let students know where their money is going Carnes began the current school year as secretary of SGA, but resigned when he withdrew from school for personal reasons following an altercation at an ECU home football game. Carnes gave his reasons for running for treasurer. "I feel that I'm the best qualified candidate he said. "I do it this because I care. I genuinely do care about the students, and I want to make sure the students are represented in the best possible way John Hardie is a junior in- dustrial technology major from Yorktown, Va. who has served on SGA for the past year. He is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and NAIT, the Na- tional Association of Industry and Technology. "When it comes down to it, and I know what the job is going to require, I am willing to do the job and I'm going to do it right Hardie said. Hardie said his work with NAIT is an example of his dedi- cation and hard work. "Before I joined the group, NAIT didn't even have a constitution with SGA, until a mere two weeks ago he said. "Because I took the initiative, and I went to the faculty advisor, and said 'Look, I'm on SGA. Let me take this thing over there and see what I can do Now, NAIT, which is very important to our major, will have a budget from SGA. "I started SGA at the begin- ning of the year he said. "I guess I'm not the most experienced per- son, but I'm a person who wants to get involved, and I think, when you have that type of person they're the ones that are going to work for you, they're the ones that are going to do whatever it takes. "I've been there. I consider myself the ordinary student. I see a lot of different perspectives of the student body that a lot of people don't see. One thing that I'm really working hard for is the computer labs Specifically, Hardie said he wants to extend the hours of the computer labs to 24 hours. Cur- rently, only two labs are open after 9 p.m and many labs offer only certain types of computers and software. "I did pass a resolution last week on SGA to get the General Classroom's labs on the third floor open until 12 o'clock at night, which isn't too much to ask Hardie said. "I'm going to send that resolution to the chan- cellor and to each business de- partment. I know I don't have a computer, but it's almost a ne- cessity now. "I just want to make a dif- ference. I want people to know what we do, and how to get involved. I think people are be- coming more aware of it, be- cause for the first time in the past three years, all our day rep. positions are filled. And that is good Hardie sees his role as trea- surer as an advisor to the appro- priations committee. "I would work with the head of that com- mittee hesaid. "That's the main thing, and keeping track of all the money and where its going. "Also, I would have to voice my opinion at the general assembly meetings. A lot of people really don't ask ques- tions. And this money is just fly- ing out the door. I think that's an important part of treasurer to say 'Look, we're giving away thousands of dollars here.

There's nothing more frustrating than to really care about an issue, present it to the public, and get no response. Not so with some people and tomorrow's SGA elections. For all of the letters to the Editor, thank you, and rest 'assured that you've been a part of the American political system. For those who haven't done anything and sat around com- plaining about educational happenings, lis- ten up. This right to vote is not something that everyone is born with. It is a privilege and an honor that we, as Americans, tend to take for granted entirely too much. The whole concept of free elections is totally 'foreign to many countries and some don't �ven have elections. Amazing, when you get 1 right down to it, hmmm? Whether it's an SGA election, a paltry - 'vote on whether to have chicken or beef at the next family cookout, or a governmental -election, for Pete's sake, just raise your voice, your hand or that little lever in the ' booth and say something. There's nothing worse than silence when you're given a choice. Yes, there is, it's when you've been stewing about an issue and conciously made the decision not to do anything about it. Probably the most gratifying proceedures was when I walked into a voter's booth for the first time and made my choice for the presidential election. Whether or not the party of my choice won or not is beside the point. (They did.) What is most important is the fact that I had ideas of what I wanted changed, and chose someone whom I believed could change what was wrong. Representative government is an awfully round-about way to change a country, but in some cases it works. Remem- ber, no system is perfect, or even close to being so. But you're part of a larger movement when you join with others and cast a vote. You don't speak for a lone voice when that lone voice is combined with others. Cheesy? Maybe. Techni- cally, that's what happens. But the bottom line is this; if you're upset at a situation or an issue and you vote to change it, congratulations and be proud of yourself. If you're sitting back complaining that nothing gets done by politicians and haven't lifted a finger in the voting process, then by all means, shut up and get to work. A chicken sandwich could be resting on it. By Brian Haii V8& AMD U TV VOTE J!I Letters to the Editor To the Editor: This is beginning to get ridiculous! Since the beginning of the year, those of us that live in the west end of campus, have gone from having enough parking spaces to accommo- date most of the residents that live in the five residence halls, to barely enough to support just one of the high rise halls. I know that some of the spaces were displaced due to the construction of the new recreation center and were relocated in a gravel lot on the north side of 5th street. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with, is the con- struction of a new bus stop that will take the parking lot behind Greene Hall. Personally, I don't have a problem with the bus stop being located behind Mendenhall and I'm sure that most West End residents will agree with me. In a memo sent to all West End residents, we were told that construction of this new bus stop would take approximately 60 days. Know- ing this, wouldn't it have made more sense to wait until summer break to start construction and allow us to have the few remaining pre- cious parking spaces for just one more month? This would make sense since the West End resi- dence halls are closed during summer school anyway.The next time that the administrators in charge of these things need to take into con- sideration the students that will be directly af- fected. Todd Breakey Senior Industrial Technology lawsuits generally wasteful and unnecessary Lately President Clinton has been accusing his political opponents of using the Whitewater affair to divert at- tention away from his health care reforms. As if his proposal has any chance of getting through Congress. The Ameri- can people have apparently re- alized fi- No one wants to accept any personal responsibility for his actions. Everything is someone else's fault. nally that there was no possible way for his program to work. If he really wants to help the economy, which has been show- ing signs of weakness, he should concentrate his reforming zeal in another area, that of tort re- form. He should move immedi- ately to limit the outrageous awards being granted to plain- tiffs in civil lawsuits, as well as make it more difficult to file frivolous suits which merely tie up valuable court time. Of course, he will never do this. The idea of limiting the arfhount of damages one can col- lect in the legal system is natu- rally unpopular with lawyers, the occupation and training of both the President and his wife. Moreover, during the 1992 cam- paign, President Clinton re- ceived $2.6 million dollars from lawyers. I Not that I am suggesting tpat our President was bought jff, for on this matter, he is a Ijjue believer. These lawyers lacked the President financially ipr the same reason the tobacco industry supports Jesse Helms -jj-to make sure that their boy is iJ power. This $2.6 million dol- lars was the largest amount Clinton received from any busi- ness group. The vast majority of Con- gressmen and women are also lawyers, and receive huge amounts of contributions, $12.9 million dollars in the 1992 cam- paign. As a matter of fact, there is a sort of protection racket going on here. At least one lobbyist has reported that he was told, by a member of the senior Democratic leadership, that a tort reform bill � then under con- sideration would never pass, nor would it be killed, be- cause its exist- ence brought in campaign con- tributions. The cur- rent state of the law, which al- lows plaintiffs to collect astronomical sums on the flimsiest of cases is costing us all, both in higher prices for goods and insurance, but also by de- stroying jobs. For example, from 1989 to 1992, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated 203 crashes involving Beechcraft air- craft. In every single case, the NTSB ruled the cause of the crash to be either bad weather, faulty maintenance, or pilot error of an air-control mishap. Not once did the NTSB rule that Beechcraft's design or manufacture was at fault. For each and every crash, however, Beechcraft was sued by plaintiffs, whose lawyers claimed that the fault was Beechcraft's. The average cost to the manufacturer to defend i tself was $530,000. This means Beechcraft, in four years, had to spend al- most $108 million dollars for frivolous lawsuits, not to men- tion the exorbitant insurance rates they are charged, because of the high risk that a jury will someday decide that the company should pay millions to the family of some- one who was killed in one of their planes. These costs have to be added to the price of the product. As a result, in 1992, the American aircraft industry sold fewer planes than they did in the years before World War II. Since 1980, more than 18,000 high wage jobs have been lost in this indus- try alone. Multiply job losses on this scale in nearly every Ameri- can industry, and you can begin to understand the devastation be- ing inflicted upon the American economy. That many of these suits are wasteful and unnecessary should be evident. For example, the com- pany for which I used to work, U- Haul, once had to pay millions to a customer because it failed to tell him not to transport children in the back of the moving truck. When this idiot had an accident and lost a couple of his children, rather than blaming himself, he hired a lawyer to blame U-Haul instead. This is aggravating two of the worst trends in our national character. No one wants to accept any personal responsibility for his actions. Everything is someone else's fault. Also it encourages people to believe that the way to achieve is to win a large amount of money all at once, not to work hard and save. People now dream of win- ning the lottery, or using some ambulance chasing lawyer to win millions in some lawsuit. Of course, here in Greenville, the lawyers have an office right across the street from the hospi- tal, so they do not have to chase them far. Of course, companies which are producing defective or danger- ous products should be respon- sible for their actions, which in- clude civil and criminal penalties. And there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to have more money. But this desire to enrich oneself a t the expense of a corpora- tion, because "they can afford it as I have heard so often, is the greed which should be criticized, not the people who are investing their monev to create new wealth. To the Editor: It may be popular opinion in 1994, but Laura Wright's statement in her political-social diatribe of March 17 that "there is nothing bio- logical that causes men to be aggressors and women to passively receive aggression is incorrect. Hillary Clinton is perceived harshly by our culture as too aggressive, but if Margaret Thatcher's husband had ever addressed British Parliament, he too would have been criticized. The main point I want to make is that male and female brains have evolved differently, be- coming more efficient in selected areas. How- ever, all humans are UNIQUE individuals. The basic evolutionary forces of seeking sex (for procreation) and avoiding death (so that we get more chances for the former) have caused a general sexual dimorphism in our brains. Our culture has changed greatly over the last 100 years, but we are still using what evolution took many eons to select. Relatively recent culturalsocial changes reflecting a more diverse role for women repre- sent but a small speck in evolutionary history. Women still have brains that evolved to help them survive as mothers, while most men have more aggression-producing testosterone cours- ing through their veins. Discovery Channel recently ran an excel- lent series that outlined much of the research conducted on the sexual dimorphism of the brain entitled Brain Sex. Studies have shown that female brains are generally better for speech and language, and most people will agree that most women are capable of greater empathy, with, the nurturing mothering instinct that has been selected. Men are bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than women, but only in general. Any student of biology or evolution will agree that my assertion about sexual brain di- morphism is correct, but culture, societal expec- tations, and rewardpunishmentoperant con- ditioning also play a huge role in the behavior of all humans. These surface factors are deeply embedded in the underlying foundation of our collective brain biology. A women's symposium at ECU in early April will include some eminent speakers who will talk about sexual dimorphism, and Laura Wright should go to get her facts straight. Indeed, we all seem to care about what others think, but I like the way Bobby Knight of Indiana University has responded to frequent criticism of his ultra-aggressive behavior: I hope I am buried face down so that all my critics can kiss my you know what Bill Fitzpatrick Non-degree student To the Editor: I am responding to Mr. Heatley and Mr. Boyd's articles that appeared in the March 22 edition of your paper. Need we forget that just because the build- ing is called the African-American cultural center does that necessarily exclude you because you are white? Now I'm just guessing, and the black students of this university can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that the doorway to the center will not be shut to the members of other races. As a matter of fact, once built I am willing to bet Mr. Demetrius Carter and all the people in- volved will welcome you in to see just how nice the center is. To me the idea of Shared Visions, a project vital to university growth, is that all people get a chance to share the vision. African-American's are a vital part of this university and providing an outlet for them to exhibit their culture and to find support amongst one another is important. How would you feel that if in every meet- ing, every class, every residence hall and every dining area you represented only one of every ten students. We have isolated African-Americans enough and if a cultural center will help make their education more comfortable then so be it. I feel it is an insult to suggest that we bulldoze the current center for parking. For one that claims "I AM NOT A RACIST" that is one of the most bigoted statements I have ever heard. Let us forget the current facility is 1.) hidden from public view 2.) looks like some- thing out of Uncle Tom's Cabin and 3.) is the most run down center on campus. I think that is isolation enough. Please, in the time of Political correctness, don't hide behind your fears. Go to a ECU gospel choir or an A.B.L.E. meeting. The Civil rights amendment of 1963 and 65, Brown vs. the Board of Education, Universal Sufferage sic and Affirmative Action were all passed be- cause they're fair. An African-American cultural center is fair too, and that demonstrates our self respect and worth.

II � '� April 5, 1994 The East Carolinian I 7 Election Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Having been involved with SGA for the majority of my years here at ECU, I can't help but get involved somehow in this year's executive elections. To anyone out there that may be think- ing the election is a popularity contest and the SGA officers are only figureheads, do you know that: 1. the SGA executive officers get paid a monthly stipend as well as tuition for summer school funded by our student fees to work and represent us on a campus, community, and state level? 2. the SGA President has a vote on the ECU board of Trustees giving that person a voice in the implementation of new aca- demic policies (drop-add policy, teacher evaluations), construction of new facilities (cultural facilities, recreation center, Joyner Library expansion, Minges expansion), al- location of student fees, student life issues (condoms in dorms, cultural issues), and even long-range planning for the univer- sity? 3. the SGA President serves on cam- pus committees such as the Media Board, Fine Arts Funding Board, Transit Advisory Board, to name a few, and appoints repre- sentatives to Faculty Senate Committees? 4. SGA appropriates funds to campus organizations to cover various expenses and chooses the members of the Judicial Branch that acts as our student court sys- tem? Now that you see the importance of vot- ing now you must decide how to cast your vote. Specifically, the position of SGA Presi- dent is one that needs to be filled by an experienced, knowledgeable, and motivated individual who has a genuine interest in the welfare of the students and the university. Beware of the candidates that have never been involved and that make lots of prom- ises. They may even have some good ideas, but these candidates lack the experience and knowledge to actually implement them. Also beware of the candidates whose only platform is to discredit their opponents and to point out that new "Non-SGA" lead- ership is better. If these candidates truly care about making changes why has it taken so many years to finally become involved in an organization that geves sic them the means to do so? The candidates for President are David Reid who has no previous SGA experience, Ian Eastman with years of IFC experience and a year within SGA, and Brynn Thomas who has been actively involved with SGA since a Freshman. Evaluate each of their platforms and then ask yourself who has consistently tried to make a difference by being involved and who has the experience to make their ideas materialize? Courtney Jones SGA President 1992-93 To the Editor: During election years we are besieged with political smear campaigns where each candidate seems to concentrate more on criticizing hisher opponent than on telling the voter's what heshe plans on doing if elected. The current SGA elections seem to be following suit. Certain candidates and their supporters have concentrated on try- ing to discredit their opponents while not really telling us what it is they intend to do differently. While we all realize that parking is a major problem on our campus, it appears poor planning on the part of the ECU ad- ministrators is to blame. Basically, parking problems are here to stay and the only thing we can do is to work with the administra- tion to defray future dilemmas. One statement made recently was about the ineffectiveness of the current SGA officers. I do not see how one could justify this comment given that the SGA has had input on every major issue effecting this campus from student safety and the lack of funding for the ECU dance team to protect- ing student rights on issues like tailgating and grading policies. Keith Dyer, in par- ticular, is extremely active on many cam- pus committees and plans to continue serv- ing ECU in other capacities next year. He was recently elected Student Representa- tive to the UNC Board of Governors. This is the only student position on the Board and is an honor for not only Keith but ECU as well. Contragulations Keith. I believe that on Wedenesday we, as the ECU voters, need to vote for experi- enced leaders who have several issues they want to work on and will continue serving us with the dedication they've shown in the past. Karen Harvey Graduate Student Psychology To the Editor: I have known David and Scarlette for the two years I've been here, and they have always been there for me when I needed them. I know that they will listen and re- spond to my concerns about this campus, and I know that they will do the same for you as well. David Reid has already been involved with creating change here on campus as well as within the community. At 21, David was elected Chairman of Greenvill Precinct No. 7, the voting precinct for the ECU cam- pus. He also managed Nancy Jenkins cam- paign for mayor, and currently is managing the campaign to fill his late father's Supe- rior Court judgeship. As for being involved on campus, one of his outstanding achieve- ments was the 1992 Homecoming Parade over which he was chair. David is a person who sees a need, fills it and succeeds in those endeavors. Scarlette Gardner is a mover and shaker in her own right. As well as being Secretary of the Student Homecoming Committee in 1993 and president of Phi Eta Sigma, she is a member of Gamma Beta Phi and will be in- ducted into Phi Kappa Phi. Scarlette has also been on our university College Bowl team. She is a University Scholar, a junior in the spring semester of her second year, and has a 4.0 GPA. I have no doubts as to her ability to work with and for people and to manage a vice-president posi- tion. I strongly encourage you to vote for these two people on April 6th. I put my complete trust in their ability to hold these offices. I know that they will change SGA and East Carolina University for the better. Kelly Taylor Sophomore English To the Editor: Having served on SGA for at least one semester, as well as reported on SGA from time to time, I think I am in a good position (at least as good a position as current SGA President Keith Dyer) to endorse candidates for President and Vice President. During my tenure on SGA, I observed the following: a) SGA, in its current form, doesn't accurately represent the student body, b) Members of certain campus orga- nizations, specifically, fraternities, sorori- ties and the Gospel Choir were over-repre- sented and c) Members of SGA mostly ap- propriates large sums of money to them- selves, and the student body seems not to care. SGA will not change overnight. It will not change with this election, no matter who is elected. But one thing is for certain, SGA will never change if the student body allows the same (current) members to con- trol the legislature, as they have in the past. I endorse David Reid for President and Scarlette Gardner for Vice Presiden t over the so-called "experienced" candidates, prima- rily for that reason � they haven't served on SGA and thus, haven't been part of the prob- lem. Rather than claim their prior service on SGA as an asset, the incumbents should offer us all an apology. If you care how your student fees are allocated, if you care who represents you before the administration, if you care about ECU, vote for Reid and Gardner tomorrow. M. Jason Williams Senior Management To the Editor: Brynn Thomas has been involved in SGA for many years. I guess this is how he can plaster his name all over the front of The East Carolinian a week before the elections. A coincidence? I think not (membership has it's privileges) Brynn has SGA experience. I guess he knows how to get things done. He has his name all over the paper a week before elec- tions, he has empty campaign promises, he relies on others in power to vouch for his ability, and he runs a great negative cam- paign against both of his opponents. I will readily admit Brynn has had a lot of SGA experience. I feel that if you have done something for such a long time, your actions should speak for your ability. Apparently Brynn needs a little help from his friends. The SGA pres. and the SGA vice pres. both wrote wonderful orations about how great for the job Brynn is. If we want SGA to continue as it is, than I guess Brynn is the man for the job. But if we want a representative SGA that we deserve, it is time for change. SGA president should read as more than a line on a resume. At present, SGA is so ego- driven that it is amazing that anything is accomplished. We as students need a president who isn't just looking for advancement, for whom winning the election is the end of the road. Instead we need a person who will use the SGA presidency as a tool and not a title. The SGA holds great power. Instead of sitting back and patting themselves on the back (which the current SGA has grown quite accustomed to), we need to elect some- one who is willing to give of himself self- lessly, and who doesn't seek praise for ev- erything he does. Scott Gibson Junior Environmental Health To the Editor: Brynn Thomas, currently the SGA Speaker, has been a major contributor to the SGA during his 3 years of service. He has chaired and served on the Appropriations and Procedures committees. His appointment as Speaker is testament to the effort and the results he has attained. Brynn's highly motivated results ori- ented attitude and campus involvement make him an ideal ECU Student Body President. He developed the Campus Safety Act which was enacted in the fall semester. Brynn is currently working with university officials designing the proposed Text Book Rental System and plans to work for the return of the printed FCU yearbook. Sheila Boswell, currently the Chair of Screenings and Appointments Committee, has made great efforts to increase participa- tion in the SGA. She has also served on the Student Welfare Committee. She is an ECU Ambassador and was last years Chair of the Homecoming Half-time Committee. Sheila isTenrolted in the Education Department and a NC Teaching Fellow. She is currently working with follow sic SGA representative for realistic solu- tions to the university parking problem (in- cluding proposals for Handicapped spaces), student body unity concerns, and telephone course registration. Sheila's team spirit and 3 years of SGA service make her a highly quali- fied SGA Vice President. Mike Carnes is an active member of the SGA also with 3 years of SGA experience. He was Vice President of the Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity at ECU and has coordi- nated the Walk to Wilmington that the "PIKA's" organize yearly. Mike has served on the Appropria- tions Committee, was secretar of the Rules and Judiciary Committee, and has served as SGA Speaker. He has served on the Fine Arts Funding Board, SGA Transportation Board, and sits-in for executive commitee members at meeting that their schedules will not permit them to attend. His sea- soned student government background and community service make him a strong ex- ecutive committee member and SGA Trea- surer, j He is actively working to increase the amount of the SGA Student Emergency Fund, toward a printed year book, and for monthly payment of tuition. Doug Spears, a candidate for SGA Sec- retary, is yet another active member of the SGA seeking to served the student body. He has been a contributing member of the Student Welfare Committee and as secre- tary of the Appropriations Committee. Doug is also envolved sic in several com- munity activities. All the above candidates are experi- enced SGA members who wish to have a greater voice for the students of ECU. Pete Donahue Graduate Student Business To the Editor: As current Student Government Trea- surer I have had the opportunity to work with many campus leaders. I have learned to repect certain individuals who sacrifice their time and efforts in service to the school and fellow students. This election ballot is offering many names for all the various positions. It is very disturbing to me to see the names of people who have never set foot into any SGA meet- ings, which are open to anybody. Certain Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates have not utilized this opportunity to become involved or even take notice as to how SGA works. Imagine any group anywhere that would elect a President or Vice-President that have never been involved with the orgainzation before. Certain individuals have never taken part in anythin SGA has done. Do you even know, Mr. Reid, Mr. Munley or Ms. Gardner, where the meetings are held? The obvious choice for the President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary are Brynn Thomas, Sheila Boswell, Michael Carnes and Doug Spears respectively, these people are dedicated to you. When you take out you Student I.D. to vote on April 6th, think about one thing: Do you want someone on SGA who has proven their dedication and character, re- member actions speak louder than prom- ises, or do you want someone in who has no clue on what is going on and is only doing it to benefit themselves. If you choose the first of these two then make it a reality vote Brynn Thomas, Sheila Boswell, Michael Carnes and Doug Spears as you 94-95 executive members. .

Performing with the Ralph Sharon Trip, Bennett sang selections from the "American songbook works by Berlin, Gershwin, Porter and Williams. By Gregory Dickens Staff Writer It was not a dark and stormy night. Thursday's quiet spring day had evolved into a warm, drizzling everting as if to set the tone for the performer Wright Auditorium was packed for�Tony Bennett. The lobby, withitshumancarpetof those neither willing to sit down or stand in the rain, was a testament to the f ortysomethings plus that make up Bennett's primary audience. But therewereafewhalfthatagepresent to see Bennett, which isn't very sur- prising nowadays. More were sure to be there had not tickets dissi- pated so quickly upon availability. After all, this is one of the few men to perform before the Beatles (you do remember them, don't you) and still draw such crowds 30 years later. Bennett, a 45-year veteran singer, has drawn enthusiastic au- diences all this time, but recently, he became a hot commodity with the slacker crowd due to appearances on "The Simpsons" and last year's MTV video awards show. But, what could have been a spurt of popular- ity comparable to the Brady Bunch or Partridge Family has become full- fledged appreciation for a singer with high standards for both the music he sings and his approach to them. Thursday's performance showcased the reasons why he's again packing houses. The stage was sparse�an open piano, stand-up bass and a drum set, all lit in wine red. First to take the stage were the musicians, The Ralph Sharon Trio, led by pianist Sharon, who's been Bennett's mu- sic director nearly from the begin- ningof Bennett'scarcer. They intro- duced the audience to the lively jazz of the night's set list with the standards "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "I've Got Rhythm When Bennett himself took the stage, smiling and gracious, hearted surprised to be so warmly greeted by the eager crowd. Thanking both audience and musicians, his voice melted into "Old Devil Moon" which ended with the 67-year-old projecting a stunning 20-second note that brought thunderous ap- plause. As Bennett himself noted, the acoustics in Wright are marvelous and a performer's dream. Onecould cleat ly hear bassist Doug Richardson's fingers slip over strings and wood, as well as Sharon working the piano pedals. Both eas- ily displayed ability and constraint throughout the show, but drum- mer Clayton Cameron, a one-time apprentice for Sammy Davis Jr proved he owned the drums with an incredible five-minute soio dur- ing Duke Ellington's "Don't Mean A Thing" that could easily compete with legendary drummer Buddy Rich's efforts.

Tiyon Palace hosts flower lecture By Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer Everyone loves to bring the colors and scents of fresh, spring flowers into their homes. They add beauty as well as life. How- ever, not everyone feels confident enough to create their own splash of color and imagination from freshly cut flowers. On Saturday April 9, from 10 a.m-12 p.m Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens will present a lecture demonstration for the beginner on how to create spring floral ar- rangements for the home or of- fice. Leading the workshop will be Linda Stancill, Tryon Palace Greenhouse manager, who will Improve your floral arranging abilities share her expertise in cutting and arranging spring flowers. She will demonstrate how to design ar- rangSmems by combjnging the righramotmtof color and texture from the assortment of plants available at this time of year.

Bryan reaches children By Daniel Willis Staff Writer Ashley Bryan, a unique literary figure, is coming to Greenville for the East Caro- lina Children's LiteratureCon- ference on April 8. Bryan tells African tales designed for children's read- ing. He travels all over the world speaking to children from many different nations. Recently, he went to Fiji and was so overwhelmed by how the children appreciated his work that now he feels obli- gated to send books to chil- dren of the country. Dr. Sandra Tawake, ECU English professor, said, "His work is remarkable. It's really interesting, and it's relatable to children. His writing is in- credibly easy to understand, and he's such a kind man Bryan, a native New Yorker, teaches painting and drawing at Dartmouth Col- lege. Hislatestrelease, TfieStory of Lightning and Thunder, was issued by an Atheneum pub- lisher. Other books such as What a Morning and Walk To- gether Children illustrate Black American spirituals. Bryan lives on a small is- land off the coast of Maine. He paintslandscapesof the island when he isn't working on a book project. He said that while he was at Cooper Union Art School, he developed an interest for African stories. Shortly after that, he started writing tales associated with art found in museumsand libraries in New York. i hi ii man - Bryan will participate at the ECU event as the Nellvina Duncan Eutsler Lecturer. In addition to Bryan, three other children's literature specialists will be featured.

In the summer of 1988, group founder Robert Gallagher (Red Zinger) took his radio persona into the recording studioand made a remix that was the birth of the Acid Jazz label. His career as a solo performer was short-lived andGallianotheprojert soon arrived. Spry on percussion and Bro Constantine on vocals were the next two members to join in. Out of their love for playing live they formed a solid touring band. The rhythm was supplied by the duo of Crispin "The Pump" Taylor on drums and Ernie "Boogie Back" McKone on bass. The keyboard sty lings of Mick Talbot, the vocals of Valerie Etienne, the guitar of Mark Vandergucht and the stage antics of the "vibecontroller" Snafeand Uncle Big Man help to make Gulliano a spectacle for the eyes and ears. What their music is exactly is hard tosay.

As a scientific tool, the laser, an acronym for "light amplifica- tion by the stimulated emission of radiation has existed for sev- eral decades. But it is only in the last 10 years that laser shows have hit the entertainment world full- force. There will be four different laser shows. Three will feature the music of U2, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, while the fourth, called the Laser Drive 3-D, will be more family-oriented. It is a science-fiction adventure choreo- graphed to a diverse group of music including Danny Elfman's, "Batman Theme M.C.

Wliat s EatingGilbert Grape? lacks the commercial appeal necessary to be a hit. The only major stars are Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis and neither of them is really a household name. Plus, the typical crowd for a Johnny Depp film would be teenag- ers and teenagers are certainlynot the target audience for Wliat's Eating Gil- bert Grape? Grape, thecharacterplayed with restrained charm by Depp, lives in Iowa with his family. His younger brother Amie (Leonardo DiCaprio) has a disease that keeps his mental facilities on a four-year-old's level. Gilbert's mother (DarleneGates) has not left the house since her husband killed himself seven years earlier. She is morbidly obese and still in a mild state of depression. Gilbert helps support the family by working at Lamson's Groceries. He also takes care of Amie almost single-handedly. Gilbert delivers gro- ceries to Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen) with whom he a lso car- ries on an elicit affair. Gilbert's rela- tionship with Betty epitomizes his dealings with the people in his life� he tries so hard to keep everyone else happy that he rarely thinks about what he wants from life. Gilbert meets Becky (Juliette Lewis) during the course of the film and only slowly do the two become close, defying the stereotypical love evinced by Hollywood; their rela- tionshipdevelops gradually and fully. When Becky has to leave, near the end of the film, the pain both she and Gilbert feel is palpable.

Especially noteworthy is the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nomi- nated for an Academy Award for his work on the film. He infuses Arnie with enough compassion to make him endearing yetactsthepartofasimple- ton so well that the frustration his family members feel is understand- able. Both Depp and Lewis do a fine jcl in their respective roles. Lewis has managed to find some great roles in her short tenure in Hollywood from Cape Fear to Husbands and Wives to Wliat's Eating Gilbert Grape? Depp brings the same compassion to his role as Gilbert as he did for Edward Scissorhands. Lasse Hallstrom orchestrates the cast masterfully so that they become the characters they play. Hallstrom came to theattentionofU.S. audiences withhisAcademy Award-nominated My Life as a Dog. A Swedish director, he uses the many talents of Swedish cinema tographer Sven Nykvist (who worked frequently with Ingmar Bergman) to give What's Eating Gilbert Grape? an artistic-realistic look. Hallstrom directed the much un- derrated 1991 film Once Around. He tops that film and nearly matches the intensity and success of My Life as a Dog. Hallstrom, not yet 50, looks to have many remarkablepictures left to direct. What's Eating Gilbert Grape? is a small film with small pleasures. This poignant, heart-felt, wonderful story combines all the best elements of film into a remarkable motion picture. On a scale of one tolO, What's Eating Gilbert Grape? rates an eight.

He's also going to record, Cliburn says. A recent promotional tour coincided with RCA Victor's release of his Rachmaninoff "Pi- ano Concerto No. 2" and Beethoven "Emperor Concerto from the early 1960s, remastered. "GlennGould thought the day of the live concert was over he says. "He would do recordings. I always said, 'Glenn, no, because this is so thrilling. When people would go to hear him, that was an experience right there. Live mu- sic-making � there is never going to be a substitute for that In the past few years, he says, he has found that young people are discovering classical music. "They express so much inter- est and want to know the history of certain composers and reasons behind certain compositions he says. "It is reallv extraordinary It bothers Cliburn that some people don't try listening to classi- cal music because they think, "It's too high for me.

Gliding through songs by Berlin (the impeccable "Steppin' Out "It Amazes Me"), the Gershvvins ("The Girl I Love") and Hank Williams ("Your Cold, Cold Heart"), Bennett saluted the Ameri- can songbook, both his Bible and scrapbook during his career, and the success it has given him. "I found myself successful so quickly he told the audience. "I was No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Numbers six, seven, eight and 10; I was the Madonna of my day and I didn't have to take my clothes off either. Well, not then, anyway Swinging through "When Joanna Loved Me "It Had To Be You" and, of course, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco Bennett displayed one of the cleanest, stron- gest voices in American popular music with his ability to, as Time put it, "get to the quick of a lyric with easy emotion And, to both enjoy his talent and Wright's acoustics, he set down the mic and sang a cappella. Bennett then announced his upcom- ing April 12performance for MTV's "Unplugged in which he'll sing with k.d. Lang and Elvis Costello. Bennett, as he proved again Thursday, is as much a fan of "the good songs" as those in the audi- ence. He introduced every song, crediting the writers and giving small bites of history behind them, while modestly allowing his own career into the segue. And that's why he's so charming; you know that if Astaire, Crosby or Sinatra were present to sing, he'd find a chair and watch, tapping and snap- ping all the way. He presents the songs, not himself. But his amazing ability shines through in his love for the both the composition and the feeling behind it. WE WANT YOU!

Founded in 1978, it is the corpo- rate entity behind the creation of laser light shows in 3-D. For the 3-D effect in all of the shows, AVI uses ChromaDepth, which was developed and manu- factured by Chroma tek Inc. of New York. ChromaDepth uses holo- graphic lenses to separate an image according to the chromatic scale. In this process, reds normally appear closest to the observer, while blues are in the extreme distance. The other colors fall between these two according to the chromatic value. With the aid of the special 3-D glasses, one hour of pulsating, gy- rating graphics look as if they are hovering in mid-air, ricocheting off the giant tilted dome screen. In laser operations, a glass tube is filled with gas. Krypton and argon are most common, but sometimes helium or even neon maybe used. Thechain reactions between the gas in the rube and other particles cause the energy level to rise and release in the form of photons, visible as light. Mixed gases are used for the dif- ferent colors of the spectrum. The result is an exciting form of en- tertainment that is becoming popular nationwide. The cost for the laser shows at the Discovery Place are $7 for adults,agesl3-59;$6 for students, ages 6-12 and senior citizens, ages 60; and $3 for children under five.

And that's just in Birmingham, Ala where a 31-year-old rookie (whose Bar- ons jersey simply reads "JOR- DAN 45") has landed a roster spot by hitting a whopping .170 in spring training.

Thanks, Jerry. We can all tell what part of your anatomy makes your baseball decisions for you. Here's a hint: It's the part of your body sitting next to your wallet, another key factor in the Jordan-heralding. � Los Angeles Dodgers out- fielder Darryl Strawberry isn't ex- actly getting the 1994 season off to a fresh start. After Saturday's exhibition with the Angels, Straw- berry was missing for almost 24 hours, but was found safe and soundathomeSundaynight.GM Fred Claire was unhappy with his excuse, which has yet to be revealed. The outspoken Strawberry has been bothered by back prob- lems the last two seasons, and has been in hot water most of his career with problems ranging from alcohol to spouse abuse. He has repeatedly said that in 1994, the "new Darryl" has come to Los Angeles. We'll see � Since they are the oldest fran- chise in baseball, the Cincinatti Reds accepted the invitation to play a rare Sunday night opener against the St. Louis Cardinals to kick off the 1994 season, which opened with a bang. St. Louis' leadoff batter Ray Lankf ord took a full-count Jose Rijo fastball op- posite field for a 1-0 lead. That hasn't been done in eight years, when BoSox leadoff batter Dwight Evans (Evans batting leadoff?) made Jack Morris' first offering an Opening Day souve- nir. TheCards won 6-4, butplayed to a half-filled stadium, because of the actions of the always-com- passionate Reds owner Marge Schott. She became incensed when no one would participate in Sunday's pre-game parade, because of Easter. Schott didn't even come to the game Sunday, insisting Monday would be the "real" opening day. Go figure. There's a new man in charge of the Dallas Cowboys, and it's Jerry Jones. To sum the Dallas situation up, I'll combine two old cliches: The town wasn't big enough for both of them, and the player with the most money wins. So, Jimmy Johnson is unem- ployed. It was that simple. After Jones and Johnson divorced last week after a long and rocky rela- tionship, Jones made sure he landed a coach who knew who was really in charge of the team. So, he dipped back into the good- olboy pool and fished out "Mr. Wishbone" Barry Switzer, who hasn't coached since resigning under fire from Oklahoma. It's obvious that Jerry knows money, and Jimmy and Barry know coaching, otherwise none of them would have ever gotten where they were. Without, Johnson (to the chagrin of the U. of Miami members of the 'Boys) there will be some changes made. How- ever, Dallas isstill a talented team, and if everyone does their job, the program will be running smoothly again by August. � Turning to college basketball, did anyone see the the UNC-Loui- siana Tech Women's Champion- ship?

Until I do, I can't say any more Strawberry, shadowed by per- sonal problems throughout his ca- reer, was placed on waivers during the winter, but no clubs took him, mostly because he has two seasons left on a five-year, $20.25 million contract. Claire also tried to trade Strawberry and found no takers. Strawberry, who homered Sat- urday night in an exhibition loss to California at Anaheim Stadium, was scheduled to start Sunday's game at the same ballpark. But the 32-year-old outfielder did notmake it to the game, prompting the Dodg- ers to issue an all-out search for him. After the game, Claire said the team had contacted Strawberry's wife, his agent, the California High- way Patrol and area hospitals, and still couldn't find him. Strawberry has played spar- ingly the last two seasons because of back injuries. He has homered just five times in each of the previ- ous two years. Strawberry had enjoyed a pro- ductive spring, even though there were reports linking him to IRS tax problems. Often talking with en- thusiasm about the new priorities in his life, Strawberry had gone 19- for-80 with four homers and lORBIs in 24 exhibition games. Since breaking into the majors with the New York Mets in 1983, Strawberry has attracted attention for more than his long home runs. He has fought with teamma tes and feuded with managers, entered an alcohol rehabilitation clinic, admit- ted hitting his first wife Lisa, from whom he is now divorced, and was arrested for threatening her with a gun. Last month, Strawberry's new wife, Charisse, gave birth to a son, Jordan Shay. Strawberry had two children from his first marriage. Strawberry, who has played in six All-Star games, has hit 290 ca- reer home runs and helped the Mets win the World Series in 1986. (Richmond SID) � The Rich- mond Spiders rallied from a 6-2 deficit and used an RBI single by junior infielder Eric Klaus in the bottom of the 10th to edge the East Carolina Pirates 7-6 Sunday after- noon in a CAA contest at Pi tt Field. EastCarolina (4-5,24-9) scored single runs in each of the first three innings, a run in the fifth and two in the seventh to take a 6-2 lead. Sophomore outfielder Jason Head smacked a solo homer in the top of the first which gave ECU an early 1-0 lead. Senior third baseman Rick Britton was 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a sacrifice fly. Richmond (6-3,20-10) loaded the bases in the eighth against Pi- rate started Mike Sanburn with one out. Junior righthander Jason Mills came in and walked the first two batters he faced to force in a pair of runs. He struck out the next two Spiders and ECU led 6-4 head- ing to the ninth. Sophomore pinch-hitter Ed Tober led off the bottom of the ninth with a single and Klaus was inserted as a pinch runner for Tober. With two outs and a 2-2 count, sophomore first baseman Sean Casey belted his 10th home run of the season and tied the game at 6-6. Junior third baseman Sean Ryan, celebrating his 21st birth- day, led off the bottom of the 10th with a single. With one out, freshman catcher Jamie Cappetta doubled Ryan to third. Follow- ing an intentional walk, Klaus singled to left to bring Ryan in with the winning run. It was the first collegiate hit for Klaus. Sophomore righty Henry Ogden (3-0) hurled the 10th for UR to pick up the win. Mills (2-2) took the loss. The teams split a CAA doubleheader Saturday at Pitt Field. UR won the opener 14-4 and ECU came back in the sec- ond game 5-2.

The small contingent of runners turned in strong performances against quality competition. Senior Charles Miles captured third place in a rare ap- pearance in the 100 meter dash. Miles ran strong, with a 10.97-sec- ond performance. Lewis Harris fared well in the 200-meter dash, capturing third place at 22.01 seconds. And a neck- and-neck race between Pirates Lewis Harris Dwight Henry and Kareem Lamb produced second and third-place finishes in the400-meter run. Lamb edged his teammate by one-hundredth of a sec- ond finishing at 48.13. The Pirates 4x400 re- lay contingent captured a second-placefinishat41.05, falling short to St. Augustine's team. The Invitational's field was dominated by if s host, with St. Augustine captur- ing most of the first-place spots. While satisfied with the team's performance, head coach Bill Carson said he knows the team can perform better. "WeranOK'Carsonsaid.

Just before noon, and just be- fore walking into a news confer- ence Sunday, Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson heard someone on TV say that the most intelligent team will win. And when he heard that team wasn't his, it obviously stuck in his craw. Because the only thing Richardson wanted to talk about therestof the afternoon was "intel- ligence He raised the issue him- self when someone asked whether Duke might be fatigued, and over the next hour he went on to say repeatedly that too little intelligence was being brought to bear on too many of the things affecting college basketball.

"Maybe now people will remember me for something else besides the fight Smith said after she stunned Louisi- ana Tech with a 3-pointer a t the buzzer in Sunday's NCAA championship game. The basket, just Smith's ninth 3-pointer of the season, gave the Tar Heels a 60-59 vic- tory and their first narionaj title. It came exactly two weeks after Smith, North Carolina's top rebounder and No. 2scorer, was ejected from the Tar Heels' second-round East Region game for punching Old Dominion's Beth McGowan. The ejection also meant Smith had to sit out North Carolina's next game, a victory over Vanderbiltin the regional semi- finals. "I was hoping I could do something" to make amends for the fight, she said. "I'm just glad things worked out the way it did Even before her dramatic shot, Smith had a huge impact See WOMEN page 14 r 12 The East Carolinian April 5, 1994 'Boys future in jeopardy Future of team looks bright in sunny Arizona (AP) � It figures that two men so adept at hogging credit wouldn't have a clue about sharing blame.

Next year, expectations will be much higher. Although leading scorer Khalid Reeves is a senior, the four other starters will return along with a strong freshmen class. "We'll expect big things and I'm sure our fans will too coach Lute Olson said Sunday. The Wildcats lost to Arkan- sas 91-82 in their semifinal Satur- day, but they went further in the tournament than most predicted. Picked to finish third in the Pac-10, the Wildcats won the league championship and reached the Final Four for only the second time in school history. Their postseason performance was especially satisfying because it followed first-round NCAA tournament losses in 1992 and 1993. "Anytime your season ends with a loss, there's a lot of hurt involved Olson said. "But for our staff and our players, it was a great year. "The guys were very pleas- ant to work with, and we had a lot of fun. We had great person- alities on the team, and they had an outstanding work ethic. Every day in practice, they would come to play and compete I think they played very close to their capabilities as a team Still, Olson said it was diffi- cult to deal with the season-end- ing defeat. "Suddenly, you wake up this morning and the reality sinks in � the loss is there and the year is over he said. Arizona's backcourt led the Wildcats to the Final Four, but Continued from page 11 treated the firstSundaynightopener as little more than an exhibition game. She said the Reds, who vol- unteered for the gme, would ig- nore it because she wasn't able to �work out the customary pre-game parade downtown, known as the Findlay Market parade. "I can understand Mrs. Schott's feelings. I'm sure the schedulers in the future certainly will take her feelings under con- sideration said new NL presi- dent Len Coleman, who threw out the first ball. All of the traditional pag- eantry, plus a sellout took place Monday in Cincinnati when the Cardinals again played the Reds. The game between St. Louis and Cincinnati began baseball's new era of realignment. Those teams are now in the NL Central. The White Sox won the AL West last season and have moved into the AL Central. They took on the Blue Jays, trying to become the first team since the 1972-73-740ak- land A's to win three straight titles. To reach the postseason, all they'll need is the league's top second- place finish to win the wild card. Barry Bonds, trying to win an unprecedented third straight MVP award � and fourth overall � leads San Francisco against visit- ing Pittsburgh and Zane Smith, a three-game winner last season. Greg Maddux, hoping to win a record third straight Cy Young Award, pitched for the Atlanta Braves in San Diego, where a half- full stadium of 30,000 is expected to watch the depleted Padres. While the president is pitch- ing in Cleveland, his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was at Wrigley Field to throw out the first ball when her favorite Chicago Cubs opened against the New York Mets. The Phillies and the three other 1993 division champions all begin the year missing key play- ers. Philadelphia will start with- out first baseman John Kruk, be- ing treated for testicular cancer; the White Sox are without reliever Scott Radinsky, who has Hodgkin's disease; Toronto is without closer Duane Ward, who has bicep tendinitis; and Atlanta does not have left fielder Ron Gant, who broke his leg during the winter and was released. Gant and George Bell are among two of the big-name play- ers who begin the 1994 season without a team. Michael Jordan, the big story in spring training, didn't make the White Sox, but will begin his pro career Friday night for Double-A Birmingham. Dennis Martinez, a free agent who went from Montreal to Cleveland, and Mitch Williams, traded from Philadelphia to Houston, are among the top play- ers now with new teams. Rafael Palmeiro, Will Clark and Julio Franco are others. Baltimore, meanwhile, spent $42.85 million for free agents such as Palmeiro, Chris Sabo, Lee Smith and Sid Fernandez. Reeves and Damon Stoudamire werecold against Arkansas. They were a combined ll-of-43 from the field, including 2-of-22 from 3-point range. Olson said one off-night shouldn't overshadow their ac- complishments this season. In Arizona's four tournament victo- ries, the Reeves-Stoudamire tan- dem averaged 47.8 points, 11 re- bounds and 8.5 assists�account- ing for nearly 80 percent of the team's offense. "We were nowhere without them said Olson, now 0-4 in Fi- nal Four games at Arizona and Iowa. "They carried us through a whole lot Stoudamire missed his first 10 shots before hitting a game- tying 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer. "When he hit that shot to end the half, I thought it would carry over to the second half Olson said. "But it was just one of those nights While his guards had a sub- par game, Olson said he was pleased with the play of his big men � 6-foot-8 Ray Owes and 6- 9 Joseph Blair. Owes had 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Blair had eight points and 14 rebounds against Arkansas' powerful front-line. "They really battled and banged underneath Olson said. Arizona (29-6) won its first eight games this season before losing to Kentucky by a point at the Maui Classic in Hawaii. Olson said that tournament, where the Wildcats beat Notre Dame and Boston College, was the turning point of the season. "We showed we could play with the big guys he said. Another key stretch oc- curred in February, when Ari- zona got consecutive road vic- tories at Stanford and Califor- nia. The wins kept the Wildcats in contention for the Pac-10 championship and started an eight-game winning streak that gave them momentum going into postseason play. "On that Bay Area trip, they played as well as they've ever played in back-to-back games Olson said. Central Book & ANGER ONE LETTER SHORT DANCER. 756-7177.

The Gators' Cinderella sea- son ended with a loss to Duke in the semifinals of the NCAA tour- nament, but the team's first trip to the Final Four laid a solid foun- dation for the future. "I just wish I had more time to do some things here Craig Brown, the only senior in Florida's starting lineup, said. "Nobody expected us to get this far, and we proved a lot of people wrong all season. It's been like a fairy tale, but now it's come to an end Florida (29-8) clearly was the least talented team in the Final Four. Yet the Gators gave Duke, which rallied from a 13-point deficit to win 70-65, all it could handle for 39 minutes. A couple of turnovers and an offensive foul against Dan Cross in the final minute sealed Florida's fate Saturday night. "We're a little down because we lost, but overall � when the feeling from this game wears off � I think we'll be happy about what we accomplished this sea- son forward Andrew DeClercq said. While Duke earned the op- portunity to play for a third na- tional title in four years, Florida left the Charlotte Coliseum with the satisfaction of making believ- ers of skeptics who questioned if they belonged in the same group with Duke, Arkansas and Ari- zona. "This is very important for our program DeClercq, one of four Florida starters who will re- turn next season, said. "It starts a tradition and sets a standard for teams to come Brown, the first recruit Kruger signed after inheriting a troubled program four years ago, and Martti Kuisma were the only seniors on a team picked in pre- season to finish fourth in its divi- sion in the Southeastern Confer- ence. The Gators not only finished as co-champions with Kentucky in the SEC East, they lost to only two teams this season � Florida State and Vanderbilt�that didn't make the NCAA tournament. "We shed some tears because this is a very special group we had this year coach Lon Kruger said. "When we think about how this group will be remembered, it goes off the scale. They'll always be special to me, especially Martti Kuisma and Craig Brown With 12 underclassmen on the roster, the best days of the program should be ahead of the Gators. Kruger expects the Final Four appearance to help recruit- ing and strengthen fan support. "We don't have to talk to players about having the poten- tial to do something Kruger said. "When you've done it, it makes a difference Expectations will be higher next season, and sophomore Brian Thompson is already look- ing forward to the challenge of meeting them. "We've got our base in the SEC now. People picked us to come in fourth. Next year, we'll be at the top he said. "People will be looking for us to come back and do the same thing (AP) � Win Case, who led Oklahoma City University to the NAIA Division I national cham- pionship this year, says his arrest for allegedly trying to scalp Final Four tickets has taught him "a hard lesson "I want everyone to know that I am truly sorry for the inappro- priate decision I made in Char- lotte the coach said in a state- ment released Sunday- "I accept full responsibility for my actions. There was never any intent to create embarrass- ment for OCU. I sincerely say I have learned a very hard lesson. After a great season, I know how important it is to have your sup- port and I ask for your trust in the days ahead OCU athletic director Joseph H. Sahmauntsaid Sunday he talked with Case Saturday and put the coach on probation for a year after declining his offer to resign. Sahmaunt said Case's proba- tion begins today and any action by Case during that time which brings embarrassment to the coach or the university will result in his immediate dismissal. Case allegedly tried to sell three all-session tickets to an undercover Charlotte, N.C police officer for $7,000, Capt. Judy Dinkins of the Charlotte Police Department said Saturday. The tickets, which were confiscated, had a face value of $195. The coach was arrested Friday afternoon outside the Charlotte Coliseum. He was released after posting $400 bond, according to a clerk at the Mecklenburg County Jail. He apparently did not spend any time in jail. A jail official said Case's name was not in the com- puter records. Authorities said Case would likely have to make a court appea r- ance at a later date. They said de- tails were not available because the arrest occurred during a holi- day weekend. The misdemeanor carries with it a maximum penalty of six months in jail or a $500 fine, or both, Dinkins said. Case is in his second season as head coachatOklahomaCity, with a record of 53-14. The Chiefs went 28-7 this season and won the na- tional championship last month in Tulsa. SORORITY RUSH Informal Convocation COACH by name. But there was the linger- ing notion the only thing limiting the discussion was the lack of ques- tions and time allotted him "A lot of the guys on television have never won anything. If I ever get the chance I'm going to be the best critique guy in the country. I'm going to critique my butt off he said at one point. "I know professors at the Uni- versity of Arkansas who have more degrees than thermometers he said at another. "But I don't know one of them who could outwork me "The only thing this game rep- resents to me is one championship. Whether the stereotypes continue is something I don't control. John Thompson won a championship at Georgetown, but did it change per- ceptions?" Richardson concluded, not waiting for an answer. "All I'm hoping is that some- where down the line, history will change that Even if Richardson's harangue was heartfelt and undertaken with an eye toward redressing longstanding grievances, it was still too long. And if it was nothing more than a "we-get-no-respect" moti- vational ploy for the Arkansas kids on the podium alongside him, it was inexcusable. Either way, this kind of thing seems to happen every time Duke Continued from page 11 makes it to the Final Four, which in recentyearshasbeenoften. For those keeping score at home, it's now seven of the last nine, and even more impressive, four of the last five title games. Run by a coach already re- garded by many as the best (and most intelligent) of his time, its bas- ketball program is theenvy of nearly everyone. An expensive, privately run university, Duke boasts tradi- tion, money, guaranteed exposure, fanatical supporters, a clean NCAA slate, high graduation rates and a first-classcampus. Like Notre Dame in football, those all add up to a decided advantage in signing the nation's best and brightest high school prospects. And whenever the national championship comes down to Duke vs. a state school with none of those advantages and a deep, mostly black roster � like UNLV's Runnin' Rebels or Arkansas' helter-skelter Hogs�it's inevitably portrayed as "intelligence" vs. "athleticism Understandably, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was hardly thrilled to be asked his opinion � one more time � about what was wrong with that picture. "Anyone who saw us play Vir- ginia in the ACC tournament a few weeks ago wouldn't have called us intelligent he joked, trying to lighten things up. April 13, 1994 5:00 P.M.

Lady Tarheel coach Sylvia Hatchell called a timeout to set up one final play. The gutsy call was for a play in which Charlotte Smith, who was ejected during UNC'ssecond round ODU game for fighting, started by the left baseline, strolled through the paint and sank an 3-point bas- ket from the rightside for the win. It worked perfectly, and Smi th scored unguarded, giving the Lady Tarheels a buzzer-beating 60-59 vic- tory. It ended a 25-game winning streak for the Lady Techsters, a feat in itself. There's a new rule I'd like to see WOMEN instated by the NCAA hoops com- mittee. Simply put, if a player is injured and has to leave the game on whatis ruled tobean intentional foul, the player who committed the foul must also exit the game until the injured player can return. Be- fore you say this could lead to loath- some coaching strategies, would Dean Smith have kept Derrick Phelps ou t of the BC game unless he had to? However, this could be a way for an opponent's star player be benched as well, so there will have to be a neutral doctor present who will examine the injured players and classify them as fit to return to combat. Continued from page 11 on the championship game. The 6- foot junior forward scored 19 of her 20 points in the second half. She also set a championship game record by grabbing 23 rebounds and was named the oustanding player of the Final Four. Her efforts helped North Caro- lina (33-2) finish the season with its 14th consecutive victory and com- plete a turnaround from a last-place finish in the Atlantic Coast Confer- ence three years ago. ' 'A few years ago, we were tak- ing our lumps from everybody coach Sylvia Hatchell said, "and that's helped to make us a better team Louisiana Tech (31-4) saw its 25-game winning streak end and settled for its third runner-up fin- ish. "We've accomplished a lot of goals, but losing like that, it really hurts said senior guard Pam Tho- mas, who led the Lady Techsters with 15 points. Coach Leon Barmore said the loss was his fault because he failed to assign someone to guard Stephanie Lawrence, freeing her tc fke the 30-foot inbounds pass to Smith for the winning shot. "I wish we could have won Barmore said, "but I'll tell you what. I will not allow this team to leave this arena and this town with their heads down The Lady Techsters held North Carolina to 34.4 percent field-goal shooting, the lowest ever by a win- ning team in the championship game, and they forced the Tar Heels into 21 turnovers. There were 10 ties and three lead changes before Thomas put Louisiana Tech up 59-57 on a 19- foot jumper from the right wing with 15 seconds left. North Carolina's Tonya Sampson missed badly on a lean- ing shot from the free-throw line with five seconds to go. The Tar Heels' Marion Jones and Louisiana Tech's Kendra Neal battled for the rebound until a joint possession was declared with seven-tenths of a sec- ond remaining. North Carolina, which was awarded the ball on the alternating possession rule, called a timeout to set up a play. Hatchell wanted Lawrence, who was on the baseline just to the left of the basket, to lob a pass down low into the lane to 6-foot-5 Sylvia Crawley. When Lawrence saw Crawley was covered, she called another timeout. On the second try, Lawrence looked at Sampson flashing across the line, but she was covered. So she fired a strike to Smith, who was wide open on the right wing after working around a screen by Crawley. "I knew that as soon as I got the ball, it would have to go up Smith said. "When I shot the ball, I was praying the whole time. And then it was like, 'Oh, God, He answered my prayers "Then the mob got me While the Tar Heels staged a wild celebration, the Lady Techsters were left to wonder about what could have been. Barmore said he initially wanted to guard Lawrence on the inbounds pass, but decided against it to get another defender in the lane to help cover Crawley. "I'll take full responsibility for that shot and that loss he said. "We definitely should have had somebody on the ball Hatchell had no such second thoughts about using Smith as a 3- point option, even though she made just 6 of 21 from long range last year and had missed 21 of her previous 29 3-point tries this sea- son. "You've got to get Charlotte the ball. She can produce Hatchell said. Sampson led North Carolina with 21 points, but she had just four in the second half. The Tar Heels also got 14 points from Crawley. Vickie Johnson added 12 points for the Lady Techsters and Maquisha Walker had 10. boys' (Less-Than) Happy Valley Ranch headquarters, instead of ex- clusively on one of those tabloid tele- vision shows. Imagine the smirks on the faces of the producers if Johnson had dropped that same line about "No one incident lead to this" on their show; it's practically a challenge to pull the videotape on every public tiff he and Jones ever had. There are plenty. There was the time Jones met an cwmvaght guy at a bar, liked him, and sent him to see Johnson, all serious and everything, about a tryout. And the time Jones ushered Saudi IMnce Bandar alongtheCowboysside- line during a game, then brought him into the locker room.
