A group of minority students
marched in front of ECU's Public
Safety department in silent protest
Wednesday at4p.m. toexpresscon-

met with Director of Public Safety
Teresa Crocker, Vice-Chancellor for
Business Affairs Layton Getsinger
and University Attorney Ben Irons.
Members of Allied Blacks for
Leadership and Equality (ABLE)
joined arm in arm and patiently
waited for the arrival of Teresa
Crocker, director of Public Safety,
who had canceled a 4 p.m. appoint-
ment with Demetrius Carter, spokes-
man and president of ABLE. They
were able to meet with the group
about 5 p.m.
Carter told the press that if the
list of proposed grievances is not

next step in their plan of protest.

The cynic's view would
be that all politics are dirty. Ac-
cusations of conflicts of inter-
est, negative posters and illegal
campaigning on election day-
have produced more than a few
cynical students about the re-
cent SGA elections and subse-
quent run-off next week.
Candidate for president
David Reid withdrew from the
election Monday citing, as rea-
sons for his decision, "negative
campaigning, "a "pattemof lies
and personal attacks alleged
against me by other Candida tes
andor persons" and "the clear
conflicts of interest that exist
within the SGA and more par-
ticularly on the elections com-
mittee itself
Reid filed a formal com-
plaint to Dean of Students Ron
Speier Thursday following the
election. The complaint will be
heard by the elections commit-
tee, but at press time, no action
had been taken.
Inhiscomplaint,Reid first
charges that some candidates
for office sat beside the students
who staffed the ballot boxes, a
violation of Article VII, Section
3of the SGA Election Rules that
states: "Campaign literature of
any type, solicitation for the ad-
vancement of any candidate, or
commercializa tion in f avor of a
candidate shall not be permit-
ted within twenty-five (25) feet
of any polling place during the
hours of election
"And that's not the only
thing Reid said. "People run-
ning on thesame ticket as Brvnn
were going up and sitting right
beside the ballot box. The SGA
president was walking people
up to the ballot box and sitting
there and watching them vote
Reid also said he saw stu-
dents who manned the ballot
boxes tell people how to vote.

SGA cycles for Red Cross
By Tammy Zion
Staff Writer
The street and sidewalks
in front of the Student Stores
hosted a comical event yester-
day morning when members of
the SGA struggled to keep four
tricycles in motion to raise
money for the American Red
Cross.
Despite frequent stops to
talk with friends passing by and
rain delays, members of SGA
took turns riding one hour shifts
for the first annual tricycle-a-
thon. The event was scheduled
to run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m
however, broken tricycles and
rain cut the event short at
around 1:30.
"Riding for the Red Cross"
was the theme, and SGA hoped
to raise between $500 to $1,000
from the event through indi-
vidual rider sponsorship, said
Anna Harrington, senior class
president. Donations at the table
in front of the Students Stores
were also encouraged.
"I feel that the American
Red Cross has experienced quite
a bit in the past year with the
hurricanes, the fires, the earth-
quakes and the floods
Harrington said. "I feel that
their supplies really
deplenished, and it's an organi-

Admit it, we have all seen
the old Bruce Lee movies in
which Bruce miraculously jumps
10 feet in the air and does a fly-

the blink of an eye. And we have
all fantasized that one day we
could be like Bruce and walk the
streets without worry. Well,

Duclos said that even
though the crime rate in Green-
ville has increased, there really
has not been an increase in the
amount of people attending the
school. According to Duclos,
men and women study martial
arts for different reasons.
"Women usuallv don't study
self-defense until it's too late,
while men will usually study
self-defense for more of a macho
type of reason Duclos said.
Duclos said that most people do
not really

Wing Chun is a Southern Chi-

are used. Its primary function is

By 11 a.m two of the tri-

due to the enormous cumulative

GAL program
aids children
By Jeb Brookshire
Staff Writer
Child abuse is a rapidly
growing problem not only in
North Carolina, but nationally.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion has some frightening statis-
tics on child abuse. A child is
molested every two minutes. One
out of every three children will be
molested before they are 18. Sev-
enty-five percent to 80 percent of
sexually abused children are
abused by family members.
Eighty-five percent of abused chil-
dren without help could grow up
to be abusive parents. In North
Carolina, there were 76,610 re-
ported cases of child abuse or ne-
glect.
Every year thousands of
children fall victim to crimes of
violence, psychological torment
or sexual abuse. As a result, these
children are often thrust into
courtrooms where thev have to
let lawyers and other officials
make decisions for them.
In 1983, North Carolina es-
tablished the Guardian Ad Litem
program. The GAL program pro-
vides these children with a voice
in the courtroom. "Ad Litem"
means "this litigation" or "for this

action Carter said. "We can't have
this continued treatment of African
American students
ABLE's list of complaints
stated a need for a larger number of
African American officers on the
Public Safety staff, so as to be in
proportion to the number of African
American students on campus.
The group also demanded a
diversity training program for cur-
rent Public Safety officers. Crocker
said that she is attempting to hire
more African Americans, but has
had trouble finding qualified appli-
cants.
"That was a concern that I
had, the lack of African American
officers as a representation of the
student body she said. "In going
through applications, I can say that
the African American population is
not responding toourads and thatis
unfortunate.
" Wehavealsoorganized train-
ing through the community college

ing. We hope that can happen

Carter stated that several
incidents have occurred over the
past year. Carter spoke specifi-
cally about last week's arrest of
Allen Williams, which he said was
unjustand "the tip of the iceberg
Other grievances listed in-
cluded Public Safety's failure to
disclose arrest procedures, and
the need for an independent in-

Assistant News Editor
In addition to being the
home of the NFL Cowboys,
Dallas, Texas, is one of the
business capitals of North
America as well. American
Airlines is based in Dallas,
Ross Perot, who founded Elec-
tronic Data Systems (EDS),
makes his home there, and the
Society for the Advancement
of Management (SAM) re-
cently held its annual confer-
ence in this metropolis.
At the conference, five
SAM members from ECU par-
ticipated in two case competi-
tions and came awav with sev-
eral awards. Dr. Frederic
Hebert, faculty advisor to the
group, won an award as well.
A team consisting of
Steve Ingram, Stacey Catenis
and Paula Cuthrell beat five
other schools to win the Tho-
mas R. Greensmith Award for
first place in the open divi-
sion. This is the second vear in
a row that a SAM team from
ECU has won the open divi-
sion. Last year, a team com-
prised of Eric Jumper, Tami
Johnson and Jon Matthews
won at a conference held in
Orlando.
The team analyzed a case
written about the Houghton-
Mifflin textbook publishing
company and presented rec-
ommendations to a panel of
three judges. For their analy-
sis, the team had to identify
the strategic problems of the
firm and make recommenda-
tions to solve those problems.
The competition is similar to
ECU's business policy course.
"They made their 15-
minute presentations, and
they were judged, and our
team was lucky enough to
win Hebert said.
ECU was represented by
another team consisting of
Hal Miles and Kenny Muse
who competed in the under-
graduate division against 15
other schools. Though thev
did not win, Hebert said that
the team "did a great job also

three, and we didn't place

the ECU chapter of SAM. "I
was satisfied with the way we

If you are uncertain about
what career interests you, per-
haps you need to visit one of two
career days to be held next week.
The School of Social Work
and the department of criminal
justice will be holding a career
day Monday, April 18, in
Mendenhall from 10 a.m. until 1
p.m.
"Anyone interested in a ca-
reer in criminal justice or human
services should come said Vicki
Peterson, director of field educa-
tion at theSchool of Social Work.
Between 30 and 40 agen-
cies are expected to attend the
fair. There will be representa-
tives from the police department,
the department of social services,
mental health department, hos-
pitals and prisons.
"This is a good opportu-

Explosives found in fields
MORRISVILLE, N.C.(AP)�
Authorities evacuated Wake
County soccer fields and called in
an Army explosive ordnance
demolition unit after two boys dis-
covered three Civil War-era mor-
tar shells at a creek on Sunday.
The boys' discovery brought
a rapid end to soccer matches still
in play, said Lewis Hannah, father
of one of the boys.
The shells probably were left-
overs from a skirmish between
Confederate and Union forces 129
years ago this month at what now
is the Cedar Fork Soccer Center in
Morrisville, Hannah said.
The park was closed and will
remain closed until an Army crew
does a sweep of the area, which it
expects to complete Monday. Two
of the shells still had fuses and
could have posed a danger.
Alex, 8, a second-grader at
Morrisville Elementary School, and
B.J. Shillinglaw, 10,aneighborwho
attends Washington Elementary,
found the shells Sunday afternoon
while they were trying to throw
back unwanted fish.
"We were pretty excited be-
cause we had never really seen one
of those bombs in our life Alex
said. "We didn't expect to find it
because we didn't know there was
a battlefield there once
The boys were going to put
the fish in the creek at the park
when Alex spotted a shell on the
shore next to the creek. Alex said
the shells looked like "little torpe-
does
After pulling up two more
from the water with a net, Alex and
B.J. hauled two of the objects 30
yards to a soccer field, where fam-
ily members were watching Alex's
brother Tyler finish a game.
"They just walked up on the
field and said, 'Look what we
found " Hannah said. "It was not

On Wed April 20, the stu

of Arts in Professional and Tech-
nical Writing and members of
the Society for Technical Com-
munication, will host their first
Information Exchange Day in
General Classroom from 9:30
a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
Nearly 20 companies will
be represented by technical writ-
ers, editors, media specialists and
other professional writers. The
Technical and Professional Com-
munication master's program,
which is fairly new to ECU, of-
fers students who enjoy writing,

Graduates of the program
are now employed as technical
writers, editors of medical jour-
nals, public relations special-
ists and layout designers. Tech-
nical writing involves writing
a wide range of documents
from brochures to software
documentation.
Students interested in
finding out more about profes-

Murderer looking at life term
WILMINGTON (AP) � Ju-
rors will rest easier if they sentence
Kenneth Junior French to life in
prison for the bloody murders at a
Fayetteville restaurant last year, a
defense attorney said today.
A prosecutor said French
showed no remorse for the killings.
As the arguments proceeded, rela-
tives of the victims cried freely.
French, 23, was convicted
April 1 of four counts of first-degree
murder and eight counts of assault.
He killed four peopleand wounded
eight others at Luigi's restaurant
last Aug. 6.
Jurors who convicted him
now must decide if his punishment
will be life in prison or death.
French will personally plead
for Ws Ufe d urmg closmg arguments
today.
Defense lawyer James Parish
said the law doesn't require the
death penalty.
"Whenever this is through,
and you think about it a week from
now or a year from now, I would
suggest if you spare his life, it will
be easier for you to remember it
Parish said. "And if you thinkabout
thiscase 10 years from now, he will
still be in prison
Defense lawyers contend
French suffered from pathological
intoxication when he stalked
through the restaurant, shooting
anyone who spoke.
The combina tion of excessive
drinking and memories of an abu-
sive childhood made French snap
and go on the rampage, they said.
Prosecutors will point to the
calculated nature of the killings.
District Attorney EdGrannis
already has pointed out the killing
of Ethel Pa rrous as she pleaded for
mercy and the killing of James C.
Kidd as he shielded his son.
Mrs. Parrous and her hus-
band Pete, who owned the popu-
lar restaurant, were killed along
with Kidd and Wesley Scott Cover,
both patrons.
Grannis said French didn't
show remorse for his actions.

Blacks more susceptible to cancer
SAN i R i IM O (AP)
Blacks cannot metabolize one oi
the most deadh cancer-causing
chemicals in cigarette smoke as
well a- unites a new studv
�.hows.
1 hat may explain why black
smoker are 50 percent more
likely to get lung cancer and to
die from it. fohn'Richie ot the
.American Health Foundation
said Sunday.
"There are some ery strik-
ing differences in the waj blacks
and whites metabolize (chemi-
cals) in cigarette smoke he said.
fhis represents a significant
public health problem
The data indicates blacks
have less of a capacity than whites
to detoxify NNK, one of the most
significant tobacco-related car-
cinogens linked to lung earner.
Richie told the annual meeting ot
the American Association tor
. arucr Research.
The results are particularly
relevant because cigarette manu-
facturers are aggressively target-
ing blacks in marketing cam-
paigns, he added. The tobacco
Institute has denied targeting any
one segment ot the population.
Ric hie and his colleagues
evaluated smokers tor products
oi k excreted in urine, lie
noted that the same i hemi als �
NNALand NNA1 -Glut - were
measured in a previous founda-
tion study linking secondhand
smoke to lung cancer.
WAI is highly carcino-
genic, inducing lung tumors in
mice. The studv found that black
smokers had 30to 35 percent more
WAI in their urine than whites.
' The bottom line is that
whites have more ot the detoxi-
fied metabolid and blacks have
less said Dr Ste en I lecht, one
� t the stud) s co-authors.
I he lung cancer trial tested
"il blacks and 15 white smokers
matched forage sex and thenum-
ber of cigarettes smoked. It is now
being expanded to include 160
people and will eventually look
at 320. 1 he results seems to be

Steven I annenbaum, a pro-

tute ot technology and one ot
the outside evaluators for the
study, said the NNK produ( tsin
the urine has broader implica-
tions.
I his adds weight to the
idea that there's something in
tobacco smoke that does cause
lung cancer he said.
"It's an interesting new
finding, added Dr. Regina
Santella ot Columbia University,
who is measuring how cigarette
smoke products bind to DNA.
"Now we must determine,
is there a genetic basis or some
environmental factor that's re-
sponsible1" Santella said.
Blacks and whites, for ex-
ample, may eat different
amounts oi truitsand vegetables,
which could affect their ability
to metabolize cancer-producing
i hemicals, she said.
It is likely that a combina-
tion of both environment and ge-
netics will be found to play a role
in who develops cancer, al-
though scientists are finding an
increasingly strong genetic role
in susceptibility to the disease.
Richie said his test may
eventually be used to show
whether individual smokers
have a higher susceptibility to
lung cancer. But they will have
to wait because the test, which is
very complex and labor inten-
sive, is not vet available to phy-
sicians.

But aren't you tired of subsidizing those drivers who refuse

much they cost us in higher health care costs, higher taxes
and increased insurance bills.

fancy, but in reality, it is among
the most effective of the martial
arts. In the school, students are
immediately taught the essen-
tial basic moves. These moves
are practiced over and over again
until the student is able to react
to any situation knowing the cor-
rect move to use.
"Think about a basketball
player Duclos said. "They don't
know 50 million ways to dribble
a ball and 50 million ways to
shoot, but by training the basics
over and over again they get crisp
and tight with what they do, and
that's where you get your ability
level from The art of Wing
Chun allows a person to wipe
out an attack the second it is ini-
tiated.
The Wing Chun system
does not place its emphasis on
strength or muscular build. In
fact, the art of Wing Chun was
developed by a woman, and it is
the only martial arts style that
was developed by a woman.
"We rely more upon pre-
ciseness of technique and the
style itself as opposed to brute
strength Duclos said. However,
students taking Wing Chun do
power exercises in their work-
outs that develop tendon
strength and muscular endur-
ance.
People studying Wing
Chun can learn enough to be able
to defend themselves in a rela-
tively short period of time, as
compared to other martial arts.
If a person goes to the school two
or three nights a week, he or she
will be able to defend themselves
fairly well within six months or
so. "I think the Wing Chun train-
ing definitely erables a person
to be a much more effective self-
defensive street fighter in a
shorter period of time Duclos
said.
Maurice Duclos.studied
several other forms of martial
arts before starting Wing Chun.

He eventually met up with Situ
Brian Edwards, who taught him
the art of Wing Chun. "Sifu" is a
respectful Chinese term for in-
structor or a mentor. "Even after
studying martial arts for years
and years, he (Edwards) showed
me that what I knew was noth-
ing Duclos said.
Edwards teaches at the
Wing Chun home base in Fay-
etteville. Edwards runs all the
Wing Chun schools in the area.
Currently, Edwards is one of the
best Wing Chun teachers in the
world. "Brian Edwards is both a
premier martial artist and in-
structor, and he's definitely the
one that most impressed me out
of anyone I've ever seen Duclos
said. Edwards is an eighth gen-
eration disciple of the Wing Chun
style and has 21 years of experi-
ence in it.
There are currently about
50 students at the Greenville
school. The school is open Mon-
day through Friday from 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Satur-
day from 2:00p.m. to 4:00p.m.
Duclos pointed out that this al-
lows for smaller classes and more
individualized training. The
rates for the school are $50.00
per month for a 12-month con-
tract, $60.00 per month for a 6-
month contract, and $70.00 per
month for a month-to-month
contract. The rates may seem
steep at first but Duclos said that
if you look at how many times
the school is open, the price is
not that bad.
There are also Wing Chun
Schools in Fayetteville and Ra-
leigh, and they are planning on
opening schools in Charlotte,
Wilmington and Greensboro. Ac-
cording to Duclos the Wing Chun
style is one of the more popular
styles of Kung Fu. "Wing Chun
is sought after in the martial arts
community and we're spread-

Reid said I think the people work-
ing the polls ought to be totally non-
biased and if someone asks them
who they voted for, they should
say, 'I'm sorry, this is a secret ballot
I cannot divulge that informa-
tion
"That's how I'm going to in-
struct my poll workers in the future,
but I didn't have that authority to
tell them that before responded
Elections Chair Dale Emery. "I
wasn't there at the polling booths.
David or Ian weren't there either.
We have to rely on eyewitnesses
and sworn affidavits. That's my
position�if there's a problem, let's
get it out of the way so they can deal
with the issues
David Richmond, who cam-
paigned for Reid in front of Joyner
Library on election day, said he saw
several instances of wrongdoing at
that polling station.
"First, I told TEC at about
two o'clock I saw Keith Dyer, with
a Brynn Thomas campaign button
on, standing behind the pollster
Richmond said. "It was hard to tell
ifhewas talking to the voters,buthe
was talking to the pollsters.
"The second time, I was stand-
ing at the brick wall near the li-
brary. A little bit later, I saw two
Thomas campaign workers start
talking to people he knew. He basi-
cally took this one girl and pushed
her up to the votingbooth. He stayed
there thewhole time whileshevoted
and he was talking to her while she
voted
Dyer said charges that he vio-
la ted any election rules were "abso-
lutely untrue
"I've been here for three
years he said. "I know what the
rules are. I am definitely not dumb
enough to do that
Dyer said that he was check-
ing the polls throughout the day to
find outaboutthevoter turnout. He
said that people may have misinter-
preted his approaching the ballot
boxes as taking people to the boxes
and telling them how to vote.
Eastman filed a similar com-
plaint with the elections committee.
He said Monday, "I walked around
the comer with these two girls and
I told them, 'You go do it (approach
the polling station and act tike you
do not know whom to vote for)' and
they went up there, and they told
me, 'Yeah, they were telling people
who to vote for
Candidate for president
Brynn Thomas said that he had no
knowledge of any rules violations
on the part of his campaign work-
ers. Thomas was out of town for
most of election day attending an
SGA conference.
"I instructed my campaign
workers not to break any rules he
said. "My campaign workers knew
the rules. It is also the responsibility
of the poll keepers to keep people
out of the 25-foot line. They should
ask them to leave
Reid's third complaint con-
cerned Emery's affiliation with the
fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon. Both
Emery and Thomas are members of
that fraternity.
"No, look at the people in
SGA, a lot of Sig Eps are in there
Emery said. "I'm not going to be
responsible for the fact that I was
chosen unanimously for this posi-
tion
"I think Emery should re-
sign Reid said. "I think there is a
clear conflict of interest. I think the
elections were poorly run. I think
they were biased to Brynn Thomas
Reid also said he thought the
decision to hold a special run-off
between Ian Eastman and himself
was unfair. "I think the decision to
hold, first, a run-off between the
two people for second place and
then another election for someone
to run against Brynn Thomas is
unfair
To resolve Eastman's com-
plaints concerning the poll work-
ers, Emery told the SGA General
Assembly Monday that he had con-
tacted the Navigators, a campus
Christian organization to man the
polls. He said he felt that none of the
candidates could get a fair hearing
before the elections committee.
"I'm just going to let them
vote on it Emery said. "It might
makeuslookguiltyand that'ssome-
thing that I'm really concerned
about.
"The complaints are going to
have to be proven. They are very
hard to prove, and if an outside
group runs the polls next time, then
it shouldn't matter anyway
Emery said Monday night that
Eastman agreed to this arrange-
ment, and chose to overlook his
past complaints in an effort to move
ahead with the campaign.
Finally, Reid said he believes
he found out who printed and dis-
tributed thenegativecampaign fly-
ers about him and his running ma te,
Scarlette Gardner. He blamed Tho-
mas Blue, former president of the
College Democrats for the flyers,
stating that although he was unable
to prove it, the flyers were similar in
design to some "Conservatives for
Change" flyers distributed by Blue
during the 1992 presidential cam-
paign.
"I'm positive who did it Reid
said. "There's no doubt in my
mind Reid said a possible motive
for the attack involves city politics.
Reid managed Greenville mayor
Nancy Jenkins' last campaign, while
Blue supported her opponent and
is also close to a city councilman
who frequently votes against
Jenkins.
"David Reid is a friend of
mine Blue said, in response to the
accusations. "Iwasoneof thepeople
who talked to him early on about
running. I feel strongly about his
candidacy, and it breaks my heart
to think that a friend feels this way

"Cooperating to Compete:

workshops on interviewing and
networking and panel discus-
sions on such firms as Whirl-

Hebert said that SAM is

said SAM is oriented toward any
major, not just management or
even the School of Business.
SAM brings in speakers to
talk about topics of interest to
future managers, Hebert said.
For example, Parker Overton,
founder of Overton's sporting
goods store and Bill Bowen,
founder of Bowen Cleaners have
both spoken to the group in the
past. SAM members also take
plant tours of such industries as
Empire Brush and Overton's.

Students earn points through

General Manager says goodbye
I sit here today writing this piece and
reflecting on past memories. A year ago to-
morrow, I was appointed General Manager
of The East Carolinian. During my term I have
dealt with many things. First of all there was
"change I show up to work to find out that
half of my staff is graduating and half of that
half are managers. So starting off was a great
feat, as was producing that first newspaper.
But to no avail, we did what we started out to
do, though it took us almost 36 hours to
complete.
During my term, my staff and I expe-
rienced confusion, frustration and joy. All in
that order. Training the staff over the sum-
mer was not such a great task, but to watch
them leave was even tougher. Enough of the
cdmplaining. I just wanted to show that put-
ting a student newspaper together isn't as
easy as it looks.
Over the last eight months I have
worked closely with a staff of about 22 stu-
dents. Now these guys really put their heart
into their work. I have seen dedication be-
fore, but if you were to come up here on a
production night you would see real dedica-
tion and heart that is put into producing a
quality newspaper. These students deal with
everyday life, teachers, homework, finals,
pfdjects and also stay up to ungodly hours
making sure this paper gets to your local
newsstand. Some nights (far from many) these
students may get to leave at the decent hour
oMl:30 p.m and have been up some nights
until 3:30 a.m. These same students have
classes the next morning starting at 8:00 and
y:UU a.m. bo you see, there is much sweat and
tears that goes into bringing you this fine
newspaper.
Finally, I would like to give some ad-
vice and say a few words of encouragement
to the new staff moving in soon. First there is
the new General Manager, Gregory Dickens.
I wish you the best of luck and remember,
never think it's going to be OK, because it's
usually not. Next would be Maureen Rich,
the expectant new Managing Editor. I leave
you with a great staff and the "How-to manual
for being a Managing Editor overnight I
leave Burt Aycock a bag of nuts for helping
me proof this article. To Brian Olson, I leave
a large pizza with everything on top for those
late, late nights. To the new Lifestyle Editor,
I leave you a face and a body to fill the seat.
To Tonya Heath, the new Advertising Direc-
tor, I wish you great success and hope you
can find a staff by the Summer (or at least by
the Fall). To Tony Dunn, I leave you with a
map to The East Carolinian and "another how-
to book To Joe Horst, I leave a pesmanent
position at The East Carolinian and many
thanks for all your help. To Deborah Daniel,
I leave an honorary membership to the liter-
ary club of America. She has played the sup-
portive role in all our jobs and I wish her the
best. Imagine what it would be like in a day
without Deborah, Hmm!
To everyone else that is not graduat-
ing this Spring, good luck next year and keep
up the good work. I know you'll fair well in

Needless to say, the pup ex-

OK, I'm really not that gull-
ible. Did you know that gullible
isn't in the dictionary? We hear
tales like these all of our lives
and, if you're
like me, you
may even be-
lieve them for
a while. They
usually in-
volve some
fear inspiring
detail or some
repulsive ele-
ment and usu-
i, ally they are
linked to some-
one with whom we are remotely
familiar.
For example, "my best
friend's uncle teaches junior
high school and he told my
friend about some girl who
(this story usually involves the
surgical removal of a misplaced
hot dog. Oh come on; you know
you've heard this one before).
Thr-e shared stories are of-
ten referred to as urban folklore
and in a culture that is largely
visually oriented, these folk tales
represent what remains of a once
prominent oral tradition of story
telling. At one time, all informa-
tion was communicated through
the spoken work.
Later, written discourse
replaced verbal transactions,
specifically as a way of preserv-
ing one's heritage. Because writ-
ing allows individuals to record
specific events, file them away,
and bring them out again later,
there was less of a need to re-
member historical events and
moral codes of conduct in order
to communicate them to "the
next generation Similarly, as
we become more and more me-
diatelevision oriented, our
need for written communication
becomes obsolete. Our memo-
ries get even worse.
But these folk tales are still
around and as far fetched as they
often are, we believe them until
we stop to examine the improb-
ability of the events involved.
The main reason that these tales
exist is that they help to dis-
courage culturally unacceptable
behavior.
They provide us with hor-
ror stories about people who go
against the understood moral
code upon which our culture is
based. They forewarn us about
the possible outcomes of our ac-
tions.
Take as an example the
headlightgang violence story.
It seems that this tale expresses
the idea that in an increasingly
violent society, it is not safe to
offer assistance to strangers. Just
look what happens if we attempt
to inform the driver of unlighted
cars that their lights are off: We
end up dead.
Chances are, these stories
have a basis somewhere in real-
ity. Someone may very well have
found a rat in a soda can once.
As a result of that story, we have
grown suspicious of mass pro-
duction; we don't trust what we
can't see.
Just recently I heard about
a fraternity that hired a strip-
per. After this woman stripped,
she proceeded to have sex with
every member of the fraternity
and now it has been discovered
that she had AIDS at the time.
Once again, woman leads to the
downfall of man.
I think one of my sister's
boyfriend's cousin's sons was
in that fraternity

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
I would like to comment on the disgruntled
student's attempted character assassination of a
colleague of mine and my Department that was
printed in the April 7th issue of your paper. The
letter was so full of untruths, misrepresentations
and errors, that I initially felt it didn't deserve a
response; however, since some students are unfa-
miliar with our Department and our faculty, I do
not wish to let the letter go unchallenged.
I am amazed at how the facts of Mr. Khoshnan's
complaint have changed since he first made me
aware of the situation at the end of fall semester or
early this semester. I recall no allegation of unprofes-
sional conduct of any kind on the part of my col-
league at that time. Mr. Khoshnan openly acknowl-
edged to me that he had gotten the grade that his
course scores entitled him to receive, and that the
grade was consistent with the majority of the grades
he received on assignments and tests over the semes-
ter.
What Mr. Khoshnan wanted my colleague
to do was to combine selected good scores from
both semesters, and come up with a grade that
would be higher than he got either time. Since I
did not agree with his complaint either, I under-
stand that he continued his protests to higher
authorities, perhaps adding to the story at each
level.
Anyone (students and faculty alike) who
knows the faculty member that was singled out,
knows that he would never use the language
attributed to him in Mr. Khoshnan's letter.
The failure rates quoted by Mr. Khoshnan
are also highly exaggerated and incorrect. Yes,
General Chemistry is a difficult and time con-
suming course, and far too many students do not
pass it. This is true for all of the introductory
science courses in all science departments (and
dare I say other areas as well). New, difficult
topics are presented daily, that must be under-
stood and not just memorized.
Successful students devote many hours to
classroom attendance, assignment reading, prob-
lem solving, asking questions, and seeking guid-
ance about problematic material, and study, study,
study. The Chemistry Department assigns its more
experienced and patient faculty to these intro-
ductory courses for we realize that much "per-
sonalized" guidance and assistance is needed in
these courses.
But these faculty can only teach the mate-
rial and try to motivate the student. They can-
not learn it for the student. The student must
assume responsibility for the learning, and seek
assistance when course material doesn't make
sense. Faculty involved with these courses fre-
quently are teaching over 200 students a semes-
ter. This may not allow much "personalized"
time for each individual student, but few
enough students come by for extra help that
those that do generally get the personal atten-
tion and guidance that they need.
Most of these faculty offer problem ses-
sions and quiz reviews for their students, not
because they are required (they are not), not
because they get paid extra for them (they
don't), but because they care for their students
and are more than willing to participate in any
activity that enhances the learning opportuni-
ties for their students. The Chemistry Depart-
ment also provides a Student Learning Center
with tutors and supplemental material for all
of our introductory courses.
If we were the Gods that Mr. Khoshnan
thinks that we feel we are, then it would be a
simple matter for us to snap our fingers and
bestow all chemical knowledge on our stu-
dents. We obviously are not! We are no less
human than any of our students. We can only
do our best, just as we expect our students to do
their best.
Unfortunately not every student is will-
ing, able, and motivated enough to devote the
time and effort needed to understand the course
material. Those that do, earn good grades as an
indication of this "learned" knowledge. We
cannot cheapen these "earned" grades by giv-
ing "unearned" grades to students who don't
deserve them.
Mr. Khoshnan also implied that he is a
senior chemistry major, ready to graduate and
move on to a chemistry job or professional
school. He is in fact a second degree student in
his first year at East Carolina, taking freshman
and sophomore level courses. He is several
years away from being considered a senior
chemistry major.

To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the editorial
written on Kurt Cobain's death (Kurt Cobain
Wrongly Deified in Death 4-12). I am shocked at
the anger the writer expresses for a group of
mourners. I understood that not everyone is ac-
cepting to the "Generation X" title or alternative
music, but this editorial was cruel.
You may be forced to accept a "disillusioned
martyrhero" as your representative, but I don't
feel that I've been forced to accept anything. To
many Kurt was a hero, but to others he was just a
singer. I admired Cobain's song writing. He put
the pain and questions of a generation into a
song. You may not be part of this particular gen-
eration, but like it or not there are many unhappy
suicidal 20- year olds in the world. What crime do
you believe was committed in a few albums?
You were quick to point out his drug use as
an example of his "severely messed up life
Cobain used drugs because he needed to cope
with his terrible stomach condition. He used drugs
as a way to kill the pain. I don't see this as a crime.
If I was in that much pain I'd probably do the
same thing. Cobain was very unhappy, but why
should he be condemned for his personal feel-
ings?
You wrote that Kurt didn't want us, that
obviouslv is not true. If Kurt didn't want us he
wouldn't have poured out his soul in his music.
Kurt died because he felt he was lying to his
fans by pretending to be happy. I'm not trying
to justify his action, but this is the reason he
gave in is own words.
I don't believe that Kurt is a hero, but I do
believe that he deserves respect for his accom-
plishments in the music industry. If it wasn't
for Nirvana, it's likely that Seattle bands would
still be back in Seattle.
The only thing I agree with in your col-
umn is the statement that our generation "is
not lost, disillusioned, hopeless, cynical, drift-
ing people Our "generation" is whatever we
make it. You can't blame Douglas Coupland or
Nirvana fans for the outcome.
Kurt did what he felt he had to do, and no
one should judge his decision. I only hope that
his wife and daughter won't be the receivers of
other's anger and disgust.

he didn 'I want the fame and fortune that went along with being a musician.

Cartoonist Meeting, You X'ers
Guess what, Power Rangers?! Next week is the last edition of
Pirate Comics for Spring '94. That means it's cartoonist
meeting time! So how about next Thursday. April 21, all you
cartoonists march your butts down for a meeting at 50! Yes,
I know that's the day of Barefoot on the Mall, but it'll be worth
missing an hour of some blues band because as promised,
I've got a mysterious guest speaker for you who'll discuss
working in the comics biz! So if you know what's good for
you, you'll be there. Attendance is mandatory. That is all.

Put on your bathing suit, grab
some friends and the cooler because
it's time to head for the annual Bare-
foot on the Mall to get together with
10,000 of your closest friends and
classmates.
Barefoot on the Mall kicks off at
noon on Thursday, Apnl 21, with the
winner of the last week's Battle of the
Bands, PMS (Post Metal Syndrome).
PMS, an alternative rock group, hails
from Greenville and appeared re-
cently with theSex Policeat the Sigma
Pi house.
Next in the m usical lineup stands
B,S, & M (Barton Shaffer & Mills), a
sometimes acoustic�sometimes not
rock group with a sound ranging
from alternative progressive R.E.M.
to the heavies of Rolling Stone classic
rock. Following B,S, & M, Teresa pays
tribute to woman musicians through
the'bOsand into the 'highlighting
hits by such artists as Bonnie Raitt,
Meussa Etheridge, Indigo Girls and
Janisjoplin.
Wrapping up the music of the
day come three hinds under the title
Lotsabluesa: Little Dave and the
Howling Blues Band, The Heaters
and Mojo Collins.
"I've seen Little Dave and the
Howling Blues Band live and they're
good said Bobby GetcheJL a mem-
berof the BarefmtCommittee. "What
really made them stand out as a blues
band was their harmonica player
Little Dave and the band come
from Raleigh, but are well traveled,
and well known throughout North
Carolina. The Heaters also claim the
same local fame asa Fayettevilleblues
band that's been together and tour-
ing the N.C. music scene for years.
Mojo Collins, a premier
songwriter and performer, will be the
finale for the live music. Collins, in 30
years of performance has appeared
in concert with such classic acts as
Santana, Leon Redbone, Credence
Clearwater Revival and Stevie Ray
Vaughn.

Inspirational principal Joe
Clark will be visiting ECU for an
evening lecture based upon his
experiences on Monday, April 18
at 7:30 p.m. in Hendrix Theatre.
JoeClark, in 1983,became Edu-
cator and Principal of Eastside High
in Patterson, N.j. transforming the
crime-infested, drug-ridden, inner-
city school into an institution full
of pride and learning.
Clark, a former Army drill in-
structor, sees the way to education
asa mission. In his earlier years, he
worked while attending school to
help support his mother, brother
and sisters. He continued on to get
his B.A. from William Patterson
College and was a stiaight-A can-
didate for his Masters degree at
Seton Hall University.
He disagrees with those who
believe that learning is disrupted
by tough discipline. Instead of pro-
vidingsvmpathytostudents,Clark
has high expectations for the stu-
dent body, challenging them to
develope skills for success and con-
fronting them when they fail to
reform.
After two years under his lead-
ership, the former juvenile playpen
Eastside High wasdeclared a model
school bv New Jersey's governor.
Clark was named oneof the nation's
10 "Principals of Leadership" in
1986. In 1990, he resigned as princi-

Clark will speak Monday, April 18,at Hendrix Theatre. He was the one
man who successfully reformed the Eastside High in Patterson, N.J.
pal of Eastside High School.
Clark has won national acclaim
for his achievements in a Time maga-
zinecover story, a "60 Minute" pro-
file and appearances on "Donahue"
and "Nightline President Reagan
named him a model educator. Clark
was also the subject of the film, Lean
On Me.
Presently, through his book
Laying Down the Law, his speeches

Notable literary figure
Lawrence Lipking will speak
Thursday as a part of the ECU
Theory Colloquium Lecture
Series. The Lecture Series is
designed to present a forum
for a group of interdiscipli-
nary speakers dealing with
present topics in literature. It
attempts to foster dialogue
and debate about the certain
literary issues. This presenta-
tion is titled "Materializing
Shakespeare: Samuel
Johnson's Frame of Mind
Lipking is an endowed
chair Chester D. Tripp Pro-
fessor of English at North-
western University. Heisalso
currently a Fellow at the Na-
tional Humanities Center.
Much of his research is
based on 18th century lan-
guage as well as contempo-
rary literary theory. He also
edited the ISthCentury Norton
Anthology of British Literature.
ECU English professor Tom
Shields noted, "He's a very
respected critic of contempo-
rary literature
Lipking has also written
manv books, and in numer-
ous publications. He's the
author of Abandoned Women,
Poetic Tradition, The Life of The
Poet: Beginning and Ending
Poetic Careers.
His essays ha ve appeared
in the Critical Inquiry, Vie Age
of Johnson, Profession, and
Modern Language Quarterly.
One of his most highly ac-
claimed articles appeared in
a 1989 issue of the New Repub-
lic dealing with his theory of
competitive reading. ECU
English Professor Jeff Will-
iams said, "Lipking's theory
states that education in the
Humanities is based on
competiveness and not on
building people up. Most
people think knowledge is
accumulative. But this theory
is built on knocking people
down, the 'king of the hill'
theory
The lecture is ex-
pected to last approximately
45 minutes, and will be fol-
lowed by a short question�
and�answer period. It will
be presented on Thursday,
April 14, at 4:00 in Room 3006
of the General Classroom
Building.

Lyres
Some Lyres
The Lyres have been around
since 1978, making their own weird
brand of garage punk. Now, years
later thevhaveputoutacompilation
album, Some Lyres, containing tracks
from the band's genesis back in '78 to
tl Lei r latest releases. Thealbumspans
some 16 years, which I guess is nor-
mal for a "best of" release.
What we have here is a mixture
of new wave, punk and some mid-
'60s stuff like The Animals. The Lyres
have a nice sound, but I think they
were better fit for the '80s. Being an
eighties child myself, I have grown
sick of the plasticityof that decade.
Although that is just what appeals to
others, I find it hard to stomach any-
more, especially after all those "hits
of the '80s" commercials.
However, not all of this album is
new wave songs like "Touch" and
"Here's a Heart" sound like some-
thing straight out of the '60s. Even
the cover art for the CD is a repro-
duction of The RollmgStones record
Some Girls. In fact, the further you go
in the album, the more it sounds like
flower-powered beach music. They
are sort of like the Surf Punks crossed
with The Byrds. A tension-keyed
organ gives them the thin, angular
screaming sound of themidHlsbut
the guitars are more tuned in with
modern and hardersrvlesof playing
most of the time.
There are some softer tunes like

Tess wins
feSff Writer
S" Last slimmer, the thrill of being a
9fi6et service agent came to us from
Hollywood in the movie In tfie Line of
Fre. Thisspring it's the film Guarding
Tiss, a story that portrays the less
abmorousanddramaticsideofserv-
ingone's country. However, the film
qpBXciting nonetheless.
; Nicholas Cage plays Doug
3igsnic, a young secret service agent
assigned to protect former first lady
1essCarlisle(Shirly MacLaine). Doug
hates,his job because Tess can be
dirtanding,cantankerousand mean!
rjewever, later in the story, Doug
cjbrrtes to realize that Tess is actually
l&jelyanddepressedandher actions
arise out of boredom, not genuine ill
will
As GuardingTess opens, Doug is
seen leaving his assignment. As he
te a superior about his years with
Te$s, Doug's agitation with the first
lacty becomes evident. Doug tells his
superior how Tess can be many dif-
ferentpeople�adoring andwonder-
fufto the public but finicky and cruel
in-private. Doug's superior then in-
f ojjns him that "one of her personali-
ties has requested that Dougstay for
adether tour of duty.
� BecauseTesshascalledthepresi-
dejjt, Doug knows that to refuse
vttjuld be theequivalent of resigning.
Reluctantly, he agrees to go back to
wr&k guarding Tess.
S GiwrdiwgTessisfilledwimmany
snjall moments that blend together to
wejive a charming story. Many indi-
vidual incidents stand out although
mjfct scenes work well in the film.

She gives Tess the necessary edge to
make her seem disagreeable while
stillexposingherweaknessand frailty
that becomes evident to the audience
only later in the film.
NicholasCageplayshis role per-
fectly. He exhibits an appropriate
amount of frusta tion and clumsiness
while always being believable as a
secret service agent. Despite his as-
signment, Cage's portrayal makes it
clear thatDougwoulddowellinafar
more demanding position.
One of the niceties of Guarding
Tess is that Doug learns to appreciate
his fate of guarding Tess instead of
bemoaning it. He decides to optimis-
tically tackle his assignment rather
than pessimistically count the days
until he can transfer. In this respect
the film provides an uplifting mes-
sage as well as a delightful story.
The one aspect of the story that
seems superfluous is a brain tumor
thatTesshas.Oneextended sequence
shows Tess having a myriad of tests
done while the solemn doctors stand
around and shake their heads. Yet
save for a few isolated moments the
tumor is never talked about and no
resolution is made about treatment
or prognosis.
The rest of the story about the
tumor may have been left on the
editing room floor, which is where
the few remaining scenes about it
should have been left. These scenes
add nothing to the story and as such
need not have been in the film.
Amidst a scarcity of decent films
in Greenville, Guarding Tess is like
sunshine on a spring day. The film is
so filled with warm wit and genuine
good feelings, that disliking it is al-
most impossible.
On a scale of one to 10, Guarding
Tess rates a seven.

CROW
April 14. 1994
Continued from page 9
depressing group of musicians than
this? I can just picture them, sitting
around the studio, trading stories of
their suicide attempts and compar-
ing the scars leftby their self-inflicted
wounds. The only way this album
couldbeanymoredepressingwould
be if the Smiths had re-formed for it
(take that as you will).
Getting down to the music itself,
I suppose the Cure is as good a place
to start as any. Their track opens the
album uponasadnote(bigsurprise)
with "Burn It's typical Cure: slow,
ethereal and very, very depressing.
Also typical is Stone Temple Pilots'
"Big Empty which means that
they've yet again managed to rip off
Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains simul-
taneously without anybody calling
their bluff.
Nine Inch Nails does an indus-
trial version of "Dead Souls" by Joy
Division. Considering that the Joy
Divisionboys were the origjnalKings
of Depressed White Boy Gothic
Bands and that NIN's Trent Reznor
may currently hold the champion-
ship belt for self-loathing, I think you
can guess how this one goes.
Next is Rage Against the Ma-
chine with "Darkness which sud-
denly whips the album up into a
white-hot fury. Placing Rage here
may have been a mistake; with this
one exception, the album gets pro-
gressively heavier with each track.
The irrepressible anger of this band
breaks the flow.
Rage is followed by the oddest
choice for the album, and its biggest
disappointment, the Violent
Femmes. Knownmainlyforinsanely
clever (if depressing) lyrics and
bouncy, low-production music, the
Femmes don't really fit in. Unfortu-
nately, rheircontribution, "Color Me
Once has beenproduced into some
sort of neo-gorhic nightmare, com-
plete withecho-chamber drumbeats
and all sorts of stuff to which the
Femmes don't adapt very well.
The Rollins Band contribution,
"Ghostrider is also a bit of a sur-
prise: they sound like Danzig! Scary
stuff from Mr. Henry "MTV " Rollins.
Can the rumors be true? Has Rollins
sold out? Stay tuned
The remainder of The Crow
progresses more smoothly. Helmet
and Pantera turn in gut-ripping per-
formances, as does For Love Not
Lisa. MyLifeWimmeThrillKUlKult
is also typically perverse on their
track After the Hesh " The only real
surprise left at this point is the Jesus
andMary Chain's "Snakedriver on
which they sound more energetic
than they have in years. Maybe they
cut back on the heroin.
As the album winds down, it
also begins to slow down. So we get
Medicine's "Time Baby III and fi-
nally Jane Sieberry's haunting "It
Can't Rain All the Time Sieberry
sounds like Siouxsie Sioux on
downers here, but mis song offers a
welcomeray of hope after all the rage
and depression.
This slow build of depression
into anger and the gradual release
makes The Crow a very satisfying
album. It'snotoftenyou get this kind
of attention to emotional detail. The
only real flaws I can see are the Vio-
lent Femmes track and the inclusion
of such obvious posers as Stone
Temple Pilots on what could have
been a completely genuine album.
Check it out.

This is something like multiple per-

accuse the Lyres of being stagnant. If
your musical tastes lean more to-

you ever get nostalgic about the

Frisbee teams sweep
By Steve Lienert
Staff writer
After adjusting to the alti-
tude in Blacksburg, Va. this past
weekend, the Irates and Helios
began their stretch run to the
National Championships by
sweeping through an ultimate
tournament in Virginia Tech.
The Irates swept through
pool play unscathed on Satur-
day, crushing Clemson, Charlotte
and Virginia Tech. On Sunday,
the Irates, battling harsh weather,
continued their mastery over
Washington area teams. Two of
their three wins were against
teams from D.C.
The finals were played in the
midst of a frosty mountain down-
pour which seemed to only
strengthen the Irate resolve. As
fans observed the finals from their
warm dry cars, the Irates, soaked
and cold, marched through the
mud for goal after goal. While
seven men werepkwing, 15Irates
stood huddled together waiting
to substitute into the game, mean-
while cheering on their fellow
teammates. It took a gel of 22
players to put the Irates over the
top for a 15-8 victory over Ano-
dyne (D.C.) and yet another tour-
nament championship in this en-
chanted season.

Old Dominion University con-
tinues to lead the CAA with a 12-3
conference record. Their success can
be attributed to one statistic � the
Monarchsare8-2whenplayingaway
from home. ODU is the only team in
the CAA that has exceeded a .500
winning percentage while playing
away games.
Old Dominion is 30-5 overall.
Seniorsecond baseman Jude Dona to
leads the CAA in doubles with 20,
while Kevin Gibbs (.433) and Matt
Quatraro (421) are the top two hit-
ters in theconference. On themound,
freshman Brett Wheeler leads the
conference in ERA (175) and has

The East Carolinian
All spring, the Pirate
ruggers have worked for last
weekend. A total team effort
paid off as the Pirates swept to
Division I and Division II Colle-
giate Championships, the first
time this has been done. To make
the victory sweeter, the tourna-
ment was held at ECU.
It took the Pirates time to
get started against Guilf ord Col-
lege in the first match. When
they did, ECU ran off 18 straight
points to advance to the second
round. They were led by Tim
Oswald's two tries and Opie
Moss's drop goal.
In the second round, the Pi-
rates faced a hardy Duke side
which had caused them prob-
lems last fall. Duke's two East-
em Rugby Union all stars were
no match for ECU's dynamic
team effort. The ruggers were
led to a 31-0 victory by Rick
Snow's three-try hat trick.
In the final, ECU faced
North Carolina State. The
Wolfpack had beaten up UNC-
Wilmington and humiliated
UNC-Chapel Hill to reach the
final. State started out strongly
and pounded at the ECU goal
line for over 10 minutes.
The forwards, led by All-
American candidate Jay Keller
and ERU all stars Byron Sullivan
and Matt Hobgood, went on a
rampage which produced ball
from every phase of the game.
Given possession, ECU's backs
ran at will. It was not a question
of State's defense, which was
adequate, rather it was the con-
tinuous pounding assault all
over the field which State could
not shut down.
The Pirates saw hat tricks
by Oswald and Snow and nu-
merous scores by forwards and
backs as they achieved total
domination over their Raleigh
rivals. In the second half, the
Wolfpack were simply over-
whelmed as the Pirates scored
at four-minute intervals to total
a wondrous 60 points in a festi-
val of running and passing
which even State supporters
cheered.
This was only the Pirate tri-
umph. Under tournament
rules, any Division I college
could enter team in Division II
provided the players did not
also participate in the upper
division. The Pirates entered
their Second XV team and,
while they did not always have
an easy time of it, the younger
Pirates also triumped.
The Pirates gave up an
early try to Western Carolina
but did not crack. The for-
wards, led by redoubtable Jerry
Stephenson and Clay
Cartwright, won almost every
contested ball to deny WCU's
backs any other chance at scor-
ing. When the teams switched
around at half time, the Pirates
had the wind, the sun and a
moral victory. Playing a ver-
sion of kick and chase, the Sec-
ond XV team ran in three tries
as by Hansborough, Nunn and
O'Briant to knock off the Cata-
mounts 17-5.
The first round victory put
ECU into the hunt for another
championship. Now on a mis-
sion, the Pirates exploded
against Saint Andrews College.
Opting to play into the sun and
wind again, the Pirate ruggers
held a slim 14-13 lead at half-
time. Led by Jason Webb's five
tries, the Second XV ran up a
51-16 victory to enter the fi-
nals.
Against Davidson, the Pi-
rates had about all they could
handle. In a fast-paced match,
the final score was in doubt
until the last minute. Dennis
McLane blocked and fell on a
Davidson attempt to kick the
ball from his own ingoal. The
Pirate victory gave them a Di-
vision II Championship, a chal-
lenge which clearly spurred the
First XV on to the Division I
victory.
The Pirates close out their
spring season next weekend
with a tournament in Rich-
mond, Va.on April 16.0n April
23, EC U hosts its annual alumni
match, a hard played game,
marked by sportsmanship and
technique, as the oldsters once
again attempt to demonstrate
that age and experience might
just overcome youth and en-
thusiasm.

Pirates slam
Blue Devils
(DUKE SID) � The ECU base-
ball team defeated the Duke Blue
Devils on a neutral field Tuesday-
night, 12-5 at Five County Stadium.
The Blue Devils (20-13) stayed
in the game until the seventh inning
when the Pirates (27-12) sent 10 men
to the plate, scoring six in the inning.
The Pirates were led at the plate by
Rick Britton and Brian Yerys who
each went two for four, Yerys with a
double and driving in three runs.
Offensively for Duke, freshman short
stop Frankie Chiou led the way go-
ing two for three with a walk and an
RBI.
Jim Sander picked up the loss
for the Blue Devils dropping his
record to 2-1 on the season. Richie
Blackwell got the win for ECU going
to 4-1.
The Pirates racked up three runs
in the first inning. After Head and
Britton walked, Yerys doubled to
right center for two RBLs.
Yerys scored on a groundball by
Chad Triplett which turned into an
error.
The Bucs would rally for three
more in the fourth. Lamont Edwards,
former ECU football player, reached
on an infield single to start things off.
Borel's fly ball advanced Edwards to
third. Jason Head then singled him
in to give the go ahead run, 4-3.
Britton then singled in Puckett.
Yerys then singled in Head for the
final run of the inning. The Pirates
finishedscoring in the seventh with
six runs.
Indians have
No. 9 surprise
(AP) � The Cleveland Indi-
ans, given grudging consideration
as a contender, have found some
early season help from an unlikely
spot - rookie Manny Ramirez in the
No. 9 hitting position.
The 21-vear-old Ramirez hit
two home runs - his second and
third of the season - in Cleveland's
first five games of the season- four
of them wins by Indians - with six
hits, eight RBI and four runs scored
in 14 at-bats for a .429 batting aver-
age.
"I'm a line-drive hitter said
Ramirez, who was New York City
public high school player of the
year in 1991. "I'm feeling more com-
fortable without putting any pres-
sure on myself
He was called up by Cleveland
on Sept. 1 and created a stir when
he hit two home runs before
hometownf arts in Yankee Stadium
in his second major league game.
.After that he went 0-for-17 for the
rest of the season.
Cleveland Manager Mike
Hargrove took a matter-of-fact tone
toward his young prospect.
"1 don't know if he hits home
runs in bunches or not Hargrove
said.
"I haven't seen him that much
to know. Last year he .333 in the
minors so that doesn't sound like a
streak hitter to me. But we're going
to trv to give him a full season in the
big leagues this year to see what he
can do
Day two forces dropout at Invitational
(SID) � The Lady Pirate soft-
ball team dropped out of the Tar
Heel Invitational on day two after
going 3-2 in the tournament. ECU
defeated Florida State (1-0), UNC
Charlotte (6-0) and lost to Virginia
(1-8) on Saturday.
In the early morning game
against No. 20 Florida State, ECU
freshman Teryn Ford pitched a 5-
hit shutout. The game went score-
less until the top of the sixth inning
when the Lady Pirates rallied to
score the the only run of the game.
With one out, senior catcher Lisa
Corprew singled to leftfield.
Corprew then stole both second
and third base. Leann Myers flew
out, leaving senior Georgann
Wilke at the plate with a chance for

Track teams compete well over weekend events
(SID)�The ECU men's track
program offered one of its stron-
gest outings of the season in a
four-team invitational meet held
at the University of Florida on
Saturday. The Pirates dominated
most of the events they entered,
as several individuals in the pro-
gram captured high marks
against fierce competition.
Senior Charles Miles cap-
tured two first-place finishes, fol-
lowed by teammate Lewis Har-
ris. These runners seized the top
two positions in the 100 and 200
meter sprints. Miles finished the
.100 at 10.78 seconds, followed by
larris' 10.85 mark. Miles was
clocked in the 200 at 21.32 sec-
onds, with Harris at a close 21.57.
Both races proved to be the pair's
best performances of the outdoor
season to date.
Herman Parker finished the
100 for the Pirates at 11.08 in fifth
place and was followed by team-
mates Ken Laws (11th), Chris
Pressley (12th) and Artee
Franklin (13th).
The 200 was rounded out by
Catonsville, Md. sophomore
Kareem Lamb's fifth place fin-
ish, and the efforts of Parker (7th),
Brian Johnson (8th) and Franklin
(11th). The Pirate 4x100 relay
team also scored a second-place
finish at 40.99, its best outing of
the season.
The 400 meter run, how-
ever, proved to be unkind to the
Pirates as Kareem Lamb and
Dwight Henry finished the race
in fifth and sixth places, at times
slower than in previous races.
The Pirates are scheduled
to travel to the CAA Champi-
onships in Williamsburg, Va.
and the Mt. SAC Relays in Wal-
nut, Calif, on Saturday.

placed 21 st in the same event with
a time of 10:27.59, which would
have broken the old school record
also.
Other outstanding perfor-
mances included the 4x400 meter
relay team consisting of Alexis
Jacks, Cindy Szymanski, Kiesha
Johnson and SunshineSandridge
which took first in their heat with
a time of 4:03.42. It was also their
best performance of the year.

the discus throw with a distance
of 125 feet.
"I was extremely pleased
