Because the Appropriations Committee did not have the op- portunity to approve money for theseniorclass gift and it is nearly the end of the semester, Anna Harrington requested that SGA approve partial funding for the project. While the project will cost $8,250, Harrington only re- quested $3,000 to be used for the Senior Class Project to cut down bushes along Fifth Street and to make a brick walkway to replace trampled grass. Traditionally, SGA funds 50 percent of the Se- nior Class Project, but Harrington only asked for less than 33 per- cent of the total. The appropria- tion passed. Harrington said this project coincides with the Be m- tification Committee Project and it will be useful to people passing through the area. Mike Carnes requested that $500 be granted to the Residence Hall Association to be used for registration purposes for 13 RHA members at a national conven- tion to be held May 25-30 in Flag- staff, Ariz. The group approved this bill. Kristin White, dav repre- sentative for graduate students, and Mike Hadley, SGA graduate president, requested the approval of the ECU Graduate and Profes- sional Student Organization (ECU GPSO) Constitution. This would form an umbrella group for all graduate and professional student organizations on cam- pus. No funds were requested. Originally, SGA was to vote on passing a single bill approving the constitution and funding. The bill was divided into committees, therefore the group voted only on the constitution. SGA voted against the bill in a 23-20 vote. "We will not allow 16.9 per- cent of the student bodv to be recognized by representatives who have a voice in how their student activity fees are spent?" Hadley questioned. SGA Presidential candidate Ian Eastman voted to pass the bill. "I think it is a shame Eastman said referring to the de- nial of the bill. "The graduate students and the underclass are two different, separate bodies, and I think they should be al- lowed to break away in what 1 see as change Eastman said if elected he will push to have the constitu- tion passed. The SGA president sits on the Board of Trustees who will vote if the bill is appealed. Brynn Thomas, Eastman's opponent, did not vote because Truck crashes into store By Morns Weintraub Staff Writer Dozens of ECU students gathered to watch a $45,000 Pepsi delivery truck burst into flames just four feet away from City Mar- ket foodstore last Wednesday af- ternoon. An odd series of events caused the unmanned delivery- truck's engine to start to crank by itself, drive towards the store, and stop just short of crashing through the storefront at 211 S. Jarvis St. "It scared the pure-tee piss out of me said ECU graduate Chris Siegel. "The power line fell on the back tire of the truck and it caught on fire. Then it coasted down and ran up in front of the store Siegel witnessed the bizarre incident around noon as he stood in the parking lot adjacent to City Market while waiting to drop off his sister's children. "It's the damnedest thing I ever saw Siegel said. After hearing Siegel's ac- count of what transpired, Green- ville Fire Chief Raymond Carnev said, "The electrical current from the wire caused the ignition to short out, and start, and since the truck was in gear it began to move Luckily, store owner Grant Wright spotted the truck's flames before it began moving toward the store.

Then Wright and his wife went back, peered down one of the aisles, and saw the truck coming towards them. "It was a strange feeling to see it going by itself Wright said. "When I saw it going up-hill I knew something was wrong Wright then approached the truck with a fire extinguisher, but turned back when he saw fire See FIRE page 4 Biologist to speak tonight Dr. Rebecca Cann proposes new theory of evolution By Stephanie Lassiter Assistant News Editor The old story about humans evolving from apes may actually be a farce, according to Dr. Rebecca L. Cann. Tonight, Cann will speak on research which indicates that al! modern peopleeventually trace their maternal genealogies to an ancestral mother who lived some 200,000 years ago, and probably was African. The lecture is presented by the ECU Chapter of Sigma Xi, a biology honor society for biolo- gists holding higher degrees. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. in room 1028 of the General Classroom Building. The grant to get Cann to speak was requested by biology department faculty members. "This would be good for all students, especially minoritv stu- dents to hear, because it adds weight to the argument that there should be no racism said Tracy Hyman, a biology major who works in the biology department. Cann, a national lecturer, is an associate professor at J. A. Burns School of Medicine, department of genetics and molecular biologv at the University of Hawaii-Ho- nolulu. She received her B.S. and Ph. D. degrees from the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley. Cairn's research focuses on a set of genes maternally inher- ited in thecell's rrutochond ria. She uses these findings to reconstruct population diversity. Men and women did not appear of various continents, but were originallv created from the African mother and eventually left for other con- tinents where they continued to evolve. This theory challenges the original theory of evolution. "ECU is fortunate to have such a distinguished lecturer dis- cuss her findings in this contro- versial field Hvman said. A reception will immedi- ately follow the lecture. Both the lecture and the reception are free and open to the public. he is the Speaker of the House and votes only in tie-breaking situations. Thomas said that he supported passage of the bill. "I thought it definitely should have passed Thomas said. "All they were asking for was the constitution, not any money Thomas also said he would like to see more graduate students involved in SGA. Dr. Paul Tschetter, associ- ate dean of the graduate school, andagroupofgraduatestudents were present to support the bill. "I'm disappointed Tschetter said. "It's something that should happen. I guess I am just surprised Kristin White, who has been working on the constitution since last November, said that, possi- bly in confusion, SGA members thought they were voting to pass appropriations, not a constitu- tion.

Chancellor speaks to student parking group By Jason Williams News Editor Chancellor Richard Eakin walked to the General Classroom Building Thursday to speak to STOPP, Students Tired of Park- ing Problems. Had he driven, he may or may not have been able to find a place to park. David Richmond,STOPP's president, praised the chancel- lor for speaking to the group and for his success in the Shared Vi- sions fundraising drive. He said that if anyone could help resolve the parking problem, it was Eakin. "Let me begin with a cliche Richmond said. "If there's something that is not broke, don't fix it. Well, I feel like the parking situation right now is broke, and I definitely feel like we need to do something to fix it Eakin said that he proposed the first parking sticker price in- crease in 1987, from $25 to $50. Later, he supported the increase to $70, which has been in effect for three years and will continue next year. He said that he has consid- ered many options including building more surface lots and building a parking deck. "The one thing is very clear Eakinsaid. "Parking decks allow you to condense, put cars in very tight, on core campus, and that would be a definite im- provement He stopped short of endors- ing a parking deck wholeheart- edly, however. "Parking decks are an in- crease in security he said. "That is a disadvantage. That is, every- one that has a parking deck has been telling us that securitv be- comes a much greater concern. "I've had a chance to attend the Board ot Governor s meet- ings where these things get ap- proved, and I can tell you, the price of a deck is clearly in the nine, ten thousand dollar range per space he said. He also said that issues such as soil structure figured into theequationas well. "We have come down on the side of surface lots, for now hesaid. "We have come down on the side to remove parking from central, core campus The master plan calls for a pedestrian campus, which would eliminate many of the roads that currently cut through core cam- pus. Parking would therefore be moved to the fringes of campus. See DECKpage 4 Pigout Party a success By Stephanie Lassiter Assistant News Editor Your skin wasn't the only thing cooking this week- end. The 11th annual Great Pirate PurpleGold Pigskin Pig-Out Party was held this past weekend and drew an enthusiastic crowd. Thecook- ing contest was held several hours before the game and 45 pig cooks participated. "We had a great week- end with great participation and cooperative weather said Lee Workman, associate athletic director for ticket sales and special events. The goal ot the weekend's activities was to raise $50,000 for an athletic scholarship fund. At press time, the financial statistics were notavailable. The week- end was sponsored by Toyota and Eastern N.C. Toyota Deal- ers. The PittGreenville Chamber of Commerce vol- unteers and the ECU Athletic Committee helped to coordi- nate the weekend. Two donations of $1 million each were announced late last week to help with renovations in Minges Coli- seum and Ficklen stadium. Walter and Marie Williams See PIGOUTpage 4 Pay attention!

For the third time this year, pol ice were called to a fra terni tv par ry Friday when someone pulled out a pistol and waved it around. Although no shots were fired and no one was injured, the incident rattled some nerves. In recent vears, concerns over legal liability have led fraternities to limit the consumption and distribution of alcohol under a policy known as risk management. The latest incident occurred at 3:30 a.m. Friday at the Beta Theta Pi house. Anumber of people had gathered to drink beer and listen to music. At one point, a man pulled out a silver pistol and started pointing it, according to Jane Cousins of the Chapel Hill Police Department. A member of the fraternity called police. When officers arrived, they found the gunman on the back porch of the house with the gun stuck in his pants. Police confiscated a .380 semiautomatic pistol and arrested the man, Cousins said. NCSU trustees raise student fees N.C. State University trustees on Friday agreed to several in- creases in student fees, including an overhaul of the education and technology fee. Last fall, the university raised that fee from $59 to 5130 per year to generate more mone for the school's labs and computers. But administrators say that extra monev covered only about a third of the $2.3 mili jn requested by the colleges. So, the plan for this coming school yt ar is to raise the fee again trom $130 to 5200 if tl e University of North Carolina Boarc of Governors approves. Engineering students, who have to pay an extra fee in add i 'ion to the proposed $200 fee, would see their extra fee drop from $170 to $100. They would pay a total of $300. The un. versity also would initiate a $28 annual fee to held finance a new student health services building. Construction is to begin in the fall of 1995. Breakers confronted by herpes tent As tens of thousands of college students descended this year on Florida for the usual rowdy week of sex, heavy drinking and second- degree sunburns, tl ley were greeted by an unusual sight on the beach: a herpes tent. The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases joined Burroughs Wellcome Co. to sponsor a Mar. 14-23 program called "Turning the Tide on Herpes which included an informational tent located where the action was-on the beach. Brian Austin Green, who Stars in the television show "Beverly Hills90210 wasa spokesperson for the effort this year and greeted students in the tent, which featured a self-graded "Sexual Health IQ" quiz.

By Tammy Zion Staff Writer Did raising the drinking age law really decrease drunk driving and other alcohol related occur- rences at ECU? Have vou ever wondered about the contextual influences on categorization skills after a closed head injury? These questions and several other topics were explored and presented by more than six de- partments last Friday at the School of Allied Health Sciences'Research Day. The event lasted from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m with a free lunch of barbecue chicken for all who reg- istered to attend ? more than 100 people. More than 40 presenta- tions about departmental research were given on the first floor of the Belk building. The event was held in correlation with the School of Allied Health and Sciences' 25th anniversary. "We have presentations that are going one th roughout the day said Dr. Stephen Thomas, coordi- na. or if the event We don't have the topics clustered bv depart- ment. We are trying to ensure that students have an opportunity to really get to know what's going on in all cf the departments The departments of clinical laboratory science, environmen- tal health, occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation studies and speech-language and auditory pathology participated. The departments of biostatistics, biomechanics, physiology, reha- bilitation studies and radiation safety also made appearances. These groups made posters for display tables and gave pre- sentations in room 101 at different times during the day to elaborate on the methods and procedures used in collecting data. In several cases, several departments joined together in a research effort. "This is a good way to find out what kind of research other students are doing and other fac- ulty Thomas said. "I think you really develop an appreciation for different departments in such a diverse school. It's really surpris- ing how much research is going on that relates, and I've seen sev- eral students and faculty go to other departments saying 'we need to collaborate Each table displayed post- ers of different sizes and color. Abstracts of the research were also available to read. Presenters had a one-hour time slot when someone would be available for question- ing. This allow researchers to mingle and learn about other ar- eas of interest. Thomas said the event wasa success and he is hoping to ex- pand to the second floor for next year's research day.

Eakin said he supported the move toward a pedestrian cam- pus. "It will make for a much more pleasant environment for you, and for us he said. "You don't have to worry about a per- son buzzing through campus without regard to the speed limit or people walking. "We don't want this to turn into an urban area of concrete ? and asphalt, devoid of wooded areas and trees As for the surface lots, Eakin said a new one will open soon at the Belk Building. "It's a lot that will hold at least 500 cars he said. The lot, which is currently grass and gravel, will be paved some time this summer. Eventu- ally, it will become the freshman storage lot, Eakin said. He said the proposal that is being considered most seriously at the present time was a gradu- ated fee scale. "The theory be- hind this is if you want to park in close, you pay more. If you want to park far away, you get a bar- gain lot Two alternatives that are not being considered are allocating spaces based on GPA and paving the grass field across from the big lot at the bottom of College Hill. "I proposed that when I first got here, and I still have the scars to show the attack Eakin said. Eakin said that he appreci- ated the approach that STOPP was taking to solve the parking problem. He said that the admin- istration would try to he lp STOPP conduct a parking survey on cam- pus later in the month.

A woman authorities believe was killed by a great white shark had recently won her battle against leukemia, her friends and co-workers say. Friends identified the mu- tilated body of a 25-year-old woman found floating off a popular surfing spot as that of Michelle Von Emster of Ocean Beach. "What happened is really a shame because she had a lot of tough-going in her life said Denise Knox, owner of the sta- tionery and office supply store PIGOUT where Von Emster worked as a clerk. "What she told us was that she had been in remission the past two years from leuke- mia and that she had undergone really horrendous treatment The body was found Fri- day, 200 yards off a beach at Point Lorna. Marine biologists said the woman had been at- tacked by a 12-foot-long great white shark. Barring new evidence, Von Emster's death would be the first confirmed shark-bite fatality along the Pacific Coast of the United States since 1989. Continued from page 1 around the gas tank. "The gas tank could have exploded he said. The reason the tank did not explode was probablv because the tank was filled with diesel fuel, which gives off less vapors and thus is less flammable than gaso- line, Carney said. Carney and other fire offi- cials said the electrical wire fell after slowly melting away from a transformer above the parked truck. "It was the combination of an old wire and bad weather that brought it down Carney said. Damage to the store is esti- matedat$4,000,Wrightsaid. The most expensive damage oc- curred as result of the truck knocking down a buttress out side the store. "The fire burned some elec- trical wiring and we need some repainting done he said. "It was crazy. I'm just glad no one was hurt and their family gave $1 million to aid Minges. Tne new name of the facility will be Williams Arena, in- side Minges Coliseum. The Williams's own Trade Oil Com- pany of Greenville (Trade-Mart Stores). Ron and Mary Ellen Dowdy of Orlando, Florida, also gave $1 million to be used toward Ficklen improvements. The sta- dium will be renamed Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium. "It is a good team effort Workman said. "The weekend is extremely important, because it gives us the chance to raise money for the athletic scholarship fund and to get the community out to have a good time The festivities started Thurs- day night with a Golf Classic social and auction. The Golf Classic, held Friday, was sponsored by United States Cellular. Friday's other ac- tivities included a tennis tourna- ment, a pig-out awards dinner, the Toyota fireworks display and a carnival. Saturday morning, the Texasgulf Breakfast of Champions was held to honor top male and female scholar athletes and the All- Academic Team of Student Ath- letes. Cross-country runners Eric Adamski and Catherine Norstrand were named as the recipients of the 1994 Texasgulf Outstanding Scholar-Athlete Awards. This is the fourth year Texasgulf has honored ECU's top athletes. The real excitement started Saturday with a pig cooking con- test. The top pig-cooker was Joe Lane, who was sponsored by Bass ElectricStallings Oil. :Later in the day, 2,700 plates of the barbecue were sold. The crowd was entertained by members of the ECU Jazz Bones group and by The Embers, a popu- lar beach music group.

Greenville Utilities spectators shagged to the tunes of The Embers, and at one point a beach-music enthusiast was dragged onstage to demonstrate dances such as the Funky Chicken and the Swim. After the game the ECU Contemporary Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble B performed. The carnival featured a Ferris Wheel and a giant blown-up house where youngsters could take off their shoes andjumparound.Many had fun dunking people in the dunking booth. Mark Barber, an ECU alumnus and Pirate Club member, won the first annual "Paint This One Purple" contest. Nearly 5,200 people attended the PurpleGold game, which was held at 3:00 p.m. The Purple team, who represented the offense, beat the Gold defense team. Charles Bloom, director of the Sports Infor- mation Department, confirmed that Duke scouts were present at the game, and, therefore, true Pi- rate football was not demonstrated. Some may wonder why the Duke scouts made themselves known. If they disguised themselves as Pi- rate fans, thev could have seen a real game. According to Bloom, scouts are allowed at spring games, butnotatpracticesessionsorscrim- mage games. Out of courtesy, they made themselves known.

Creative Director Cedric Van Buren, Photo Editor Chinh Nguyen, Systems Manager Spring zombies sighted on campus Have the days become shorter? This is one of the things I think about now as I sit in my classes knowing I should be somewhere else doing homework, or a paper or studying for an exam. I can't fig- ure out if the day itself shrinks, or each minute, or if it's possible for the very sec- onds to get shorter. I'm sure that Stephen Hawking would be disgusted in my pseudo- Physics reasoning. I know I am. I always looked upon Senioritis with disdain. "How could there possibly be such a thing? Obviously it's just some sort of excuse for them (seniors) to be irrespon- sible Well, this semester has proven that little theory very wrong. There is such a thing and it has taken over my life. It begins when we first arrive at col- lege. At first overwhelmed and stupefied by everything there is to do, we dive in to classes and extra-curricular activities with enthusiasm. It doesn't phase us. Thatyear contains crucial moments, be- cause that is where all of the enthusiasm for our senior year is used up. And being cyni- cal (another tell-tale sign that we're just getting older), you can really very plainly see that this is possible, along with the theory outlined above concerning time- shrinkage. So here we are, enjoying all that col- lege has to offer, and getting our work done at the same time (gasp!). There aren't any graduation preparations to work on, no senior shows, no end-of-the-year-this-will- cause-you-blindness-papers, and most likely no jobs. So, in the beginning we are pretty lucky. Sophomore year runs along the same line, except here you usually have to decide on a majorminor which you'll just change five times anyway. Time to start thinking about that thing that you'll plan for the rest of your life: The Future. (By the way, this is something else you can think of as you veg-out in class. At least it's fairly constructive. Cartoons and movies that you once had the time to watch are good subjects, too.) As Juniors, (assuming you've made it this far in the not-so-usual three years) we start to get a little nervous and slightly crazed because we notice the swarming zombies walking on campus with eyes half opened (from lack of sleep), clothes torn and dirty (laundry is not high on the list of important things to do) and arms loaded down with books (so as to attempt to write that paper that most likely will cause a person blind- ness). They are either going to class or to work. Zombies don't go downtown and party as much as they can anymore. Zombies are just trying to make it through the next 19 days without collapsing from sheer exhaus- tion. So try not to irritate us. We may just fall asleep at your feet. By Brian Hall Barney incident causes cultural introspective This ridiculously hostile attitude toward Barney sums up much of what is wrong with our generation, whether you call it 'X 'Why? or whatever. I sit down to write today with some trepidation, for I am addressing the subject which evokes the most vio- lent emotions, the most ex- treme reactions. Abortion? Gun Control? Whitewater? Political Correctness? None of the above. N o , the subject which causes the most ha- tred and abuse is of course Barney the Dinosaur. As soon as the subject ??mmhkh comes up, the chorus begins: I HATE Barney! In the past year Barney has been beaten up by Charles Barkley on Saturday Night Live, had his trademark song, "I Love You ridiculed by David Letterman and paro- died in many forms, some of which advocate killing Barney, and now finally, as reported in The East Carolinian just last week, a woman was violently assaulted for merely dressing as Barney. Normally I would say that this last case was merely an aberration, if not for the fact that I have known so many otherwise rational, intelligent people who I believe if given the chance would act in the same way. What is it about this children's character which causes such pathological ha- tred? I will admit that his show can be very syrupy sweet. In- deed, it can be so saccharin sweet that in large doses it might cause the adult viewer to become physically ill. How- ever, since no one is being forced to watch this show against their will, and since many ECU students quite will- ingly indulge in a substance, which when imbibed in large quantities produces the same effect, logically it cannot be this. Therefore, since the style of the show cannot be the prob- lem, then it must be that the content is creating the hostility. So what exactly is it that Barney is teaching these young chil- dren? Love, re- spect for all ???bb people, safety and proper hy- giene. Unlike most of our cul- tural icons, Barney does not curse, talk about sex, violence, or drugs either. In his theme he even dares to speak of happy families. Does this dinosaur not re- alize that not only is the family not important any more, but that it was what was causing all of society's problems in the first place? Obviously, this show is a threat to the very moral fibers of our youth. This ridiculously hostile attitude toward Barney sums up much of what is wrong with our generation, whether you call it 'X 'Why? or whatever. We have continued the assault against the societal values which began in the 50s and 60s. Of course every generation has made changes in society, and many of our inherited values were wrong, such as prejudice and segregation. Instead of merely rejecting those objection- able values, the counterculture in their moral arrogance rejected all traditional values. However, when all the val- ues of a society are rejected, then as Robert Ruark wrote, you had better have something of value to replace them. Instead, begin- ning in the '60s and continuing to our day, our country has re- placed all these values with nothing. No values whatsoever. Indeed, the very idea of values prompts nothing but hatred (e.g. Barney). This same moral arrogance is here today Too many in our generation believe that some- how our cohort is free from the failings of previous generations, that we somehow know better than our elders, has created the current group of amoral, self indulgent, ignorant, lazy "slack- ers Though this may seem unduly harsh, this is the way too many of us are, myself in- cluded at times. Take each of these criticisms one at a time. It would be wrong to say that our society is immoral, because that would imply some sort of moral code. Instead, we deny that there are any moral absolutes, that each person is his or her own moral arbiter. Rather than use any self control, we indulge ourselves in whatever feels good at the mo- ment. We are the most histori- cally and culturally illiterate generation on Earth, and things are only getting worse. Our life has in every conceivable way been easier than our parents, and infinitely easier than grandpar- ents and great-grandparents. About the only things we excel at are complaining and wasting time. The next time you are- tempted to say how much you hate Barney, ask yourself what it is about him that offends you so much. Maybe the problem is not with him but inside you. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: In response to the recent publicity of ABLE (Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equality), I feel that Public Safety has been wrongly accused of racial intimidation with little evidence to support these claims. Public Safety does nothing more than en- sure the safety of students on campus. If they are guilt of anything, it is nothing more than the occasional political incorrect slip of the tongue. I am assuming (which I don't like to do too much, because as we all know when you assume, you make an "ass" of yourself) that the disgust- ing broadcast I witnessed April 13, on channel & news was partially due to the watergun incident on College Hill last week. From what I gathered from the news segment, black students think they will be immune of all crimes just by hiring black safety officers. Does ABLE think that a black officer will be less competent at his duties? That when you resist arrest if the officer is the same color as you, you will not be punished for your crimes? Perhaps it is time for ABLE to reevaluate its feelings on racial equality and to take a step back and examine the behavior of those who are accusing our Public Safety Dept. of these crude allegations. I'm sure our Public Safety Dept. doesn't like to be classified as the racist scum you say they are. William Roberson Freshman Undecided To the Editor: It's alarming to me to find a widespread mind set growing ? one I thought I'd left to those still in high school. Unfortunately it's permeated the realms of the university and is festering rapidly. There is this prevalent trend today to dodge responsibil- ity, and it has become successively easier to do so because society swallows all the rationalizations without thought. As a future teacher, it turns my stomach to hear the limp excuse that failure rates must be attributed to the instructor. In a college setting where personal improve- ment through the pursuit of knowledge is first priority, I find it disgusting that some still choose to lay their lack of ettort at the feet of their profes- sors. Since when is the instructor responsible for student apathy and laziness? His job is to present material in a way conducive to learning and then to make himself available and approachable for additional help. Can he be expected to force study- ing or the completion of assignments or regular attendance? Or perhaps all these petty requirements and foolish test scores should be "rethought" since they are just so unfair and too challenging for the modern student. How absurd for one to expect a student work for his grade! Recently one of my professors was men- tioned in an editorial letter. I'd also like to point out a few things about Dr. Clemens. He has a distinct teaching method, and though his de- mand might be considered rigorous (even for a diluted curriculum), they're certainly not out- rageous! Even so, he makes himself available every Wed. night, along with several hours a week in the learning center for outside help. Beyond the walls of the lecture hall, he is readily approach- able if one only takes the initiative. As far as fairness I earned a 71 on my last test, and that was a B! Would anyone care to argue that this is the curve of a grievously unfair professor hell-bent on failing his Stu- dents? It would be lovely if people would gain enough self-respect to accept the consequences of their actions (or lack thereof) and focus their attentions on self-improvement. Perhaps then failure rates would decline. And I can only hope to be just as challeng- ing and demanding as Dr. Clemens, because the way to knowledge isn't lowering the stan- dards. Kathryn Smith Freshman English To the Editor: As an adult student, single parent, and full- time student at ECU, I have a real problem with the complete lack of support services at this uni- versity for adult students. I know that this university is aware that there are many students with children on this campus. It is a direct slap in our faces that this school puts a daycare on its campus and than makes it accessible only to faculty. At $78 per week, no student is going to be able to afford to put their children in that daycare. And the youth sports camp that Recreational Services is offering this summer is a joke. For $45 they will take children for 5 days only, lunch is not included. This summer youth program is another direct slam to students with children. We need a child care program that coincides with the summer session schedule and is afford- able. What good is a five-day youth program going to do for us while we are attending summer school? And once again, who is going to be able to afford the stiff price of $45 except, of course, the faculty. I believe that ECU has forgotten that they're here for the students and not vice versa. Along with the complete lack of support for students who are parents, there is also no adult student housing, no commuter lounge for adult students who travel from other loca- tions and need a quiet place to relax, no social activities, no nothing. Adult students don't have the luxury of having mom and dad pay for their education. I spend hard earned cash for this degree. Yes, ECU is inexpensive, but than sic I get what 1 pay for. Adult student populations are growing faster than any other student population. Other campuses have already jumped on the band- wagon and are offering many support services for adult learners. You either learn how to attract and retain adult students or else you'll loose sic them to campuses that are genuinely interested and willing to help them with their special needs.

This year's will run from April 21-26 at the ECU Playhouse. Music entertains crowd By Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer The ECU Theatre will close the 1993-94 Playhouse season with an exhilarating evening of dance. The evening features the choreog- raphy of the department of The- atre Arts dance faculty and selected guest artists. The evening begins with "Movers and Shakers choreo- graphed by Alan Amett. It is meant to reflect some of the popular so- cial dances of the '60s and also hints at one of the major changes advocated by the movers and shak- ers of the society: the need to bal- ance masculine energy with femi- nine energy. The tumultuous rela- tionship between Frankie and Johnny has inspired many artists. Alan Arnett has chosen a bluesy ballad by Terrence Trent D'Arby to choreograph and perform a jazz dance solo in remembrance of the legendary couple. The third piece of the evening was choreographed by guest artist Robert Atwood. "Karabagh: In Tribute to the Victims of Winnerless Wars a haunting bal- let set to the music of Dvorak's Concerto in B minor for cello and orchestra, is a recognition of all those unwitting victims who through no f? It of their own are thrust into a conflict that not only tears their families and lives apart, but often extracts from them the supreme price? their very exist- ence. "Birds of a Feather choreo- graphed by Dr. Dawn Clark, offers a whimsical retrospective of social and novelty dances. The pieces contain sections aptly named "Fla- mingo Tango "Pelican Polka "Chickadee Charleston "Mamo Mambo and "Toucan Cancan The evening continues with a piece created by Patricia Pertalion en- titled "Falsely Accused a mod- ern dance based loosely on theThe Crucible by Arthur Miller. Pertalion's choreography for "Moonlight" was inspired by stud- ies in the Orient this past summer while on a research grant. The piece combines classical ballet with ele- ments of the sleeve-and-ribbon dances done in China. Patricia Weeks' piece, "Rain Falling on Dry Earth was inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estes' book, Women Who Run with the Wolves. A woman loses touch with her in- stinctual psyche and then returns to her natural state after a power- less experience. The final dance of the evening by Joseph Carow is an excerpt from "Carmina Burana The contemporary composer, Carl Orf f, has taken a loose collection of ribald and saucy poems and songs written by university students, minstrels, troubadours, and delin- quent monks in the 13th century and set them to a strikingly per- cussive, starkly harmonic, power- ful score. The Dance Theatre will be pre- sented April 21-26, at 8 p.m each eveningexceptSunday, which will See DANCE page 10 By Daniel Willis Staff Writer Folk singer Charlie King put on a very entertaining perfor- mance Thursday night at the Upper Crust Bakery. The con- cert was held as part of the music series held by the Folk Art Society of Greenville. King describes himself as a "Hope Monger "I look at the world as it is. I look at the humor, the sad- ness, the inspiration, and I write and sing about it he said. The show had a light- hearted type of energy. One of the first songs was about a stuffed armadillo his daughter took on family vacations. Be- fore he performed each song, King explained what inspired the writing. When he mentioned about the vacations he said, "Family vacations: isn't that some what of a oxymoron?" King humorously sang about political issues in a strong Irish tone. He spoke out against the government, aristocratic people, blind patriotism and selfish attitudes. One of his lines was, "I have more in common with any foreigner, than I have with any American million- aire A certain song told a story of how apartment owners close down buildings, and use them as tax write-offs. They put de- cals on buildings to make them look occupied. King felt this was a crime because thousands of people were walking the streets homeless. One of King's best qualities was how he got his message across light- heartedly. He never spoke condescendingly or sounded preachy. King seemed to communicate through some of his music that, "people that really think this way, it's kind of sad but it's kind of funny Kng isn't incredibly well- knovn, but many big-name mu- sicians recognize his talent. "Charlie King's biggest fans may be other performers who draw bigger audiences by sinking his songs: people like Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie GLbert, Arlo Guthrie . . . Con- sidering that those folks have written some pretty good mate- rial themselves, King must be doing exceptional said The lansing State Journal. Pete Seeger said that King was, "One of the finest singers and songwriters of the '70s and '80s The only disappointing aspect of the show was that the crowd was very small. No more than 20 people showed up. Most of the people in the audience were from the baby boomer gen- eration; there were hardly any college students. Poet presents work Camille Beck to present at Upper Crust Second video yearbook to premiere By Steve Griffin By Bridget Hemenway Staff Writer The Upper Crust Bakery Po- etry Reading Series will present ECU student Camille Beck with ECU professor Bill Hallberg au- thor of the novel Rub of the Green on Wed April 20 at 8:00 p.m. Camille Beck, a senior major- ing in English, will be a featured poetry reader for the first time at the Upper Crust Bakery. Camille is a recipient of the Russell Christman Memorial Scholarship for English majors. Russell Christman was a professor in the English Department at ECU dur- ing the '70s. The scholarship is awarded to ECU juniors with emphasis on the student's char- acter and involvement rather than grade point average. Although she is a native of North Carolina, Camille moved around the state a bit while grow- ing up, and graduated from high school in Winston-Salem. She said she has been writing "good" poetry since the fall of 1992. Good' poetry is poetry I feel, worth sharing she said. Camille said she writes "in- your-face poetry with an unusual grace. But I'm still changing, crafting There are a few people who have influenced her writing such as George Beck, Sylvia Plath, Kate Daniels, Adam Schonbrun and Tom Robbins. With a degree in English and a minor in gerontology, Camille would like to establish creative writing programs with older adults. She has attended ECU throughout her entire college ca- reer and will be graduating in December of 1994. Jazz talents win over audience By Kris Hoffler ? Staff Writer This year's Spring Jazz Festival at the ECU School of Music involved much more than a jazz concert. The visit- ing artists that were show- cased at the festival also gave clinics and discussions at the school of music. This year's three special guests were Mulgrew Miller (piano), Christian McBride (bass) and Grady Tate (drums). All three have an incred- ible talent, and numerous re- cordings under their belt. Mulgrew Miller has played with the Duke Ellington Or- chestra, Art Blakey and with the Jazz Messengers, and the legendary Betty Carter. Chris- tianMcBrideisa recentgradu- ate of Juilliard and has per- formed on over 75 recordings in the last eight years. His sheer genius is even more impressive when you consider he is 22 years old. Grady Tate, aver s a t i 1 e drum mer and swooning vo- calist, has played with Stan Getz, Benny Goodman, Quincy Jones and numerous others. Grady is also gaining a reputation as a first-rate singer. These special guests and the ECU Jazz Ensemble A per- formed Saturday at Wright Auditorium, and they pro- vided quite a treat for all who attended. The program opened with a trio consisting of the guest artists. Tate and McBride made an awesome rhythm section, and Mulligrew's piano styiings were impeccable. Jazz being the expressive medium that it is makes it . hard to really say what hap- pened, words fall short in con- veying the immediacy and flow that is jazz. The trio ex- panded into five with the ad- dition of trumpet, saxophone and trombone, courtesy of the ECU music school faculty. There was also a solo vocalist Helen Pridgen, who sang a , soft ballad as trio accompa- See JAZZ page 10 Staff Writer The ECU Communications Society will present the world pre- miere of the video yearbook on Wed April 20. The video is called The Treasure Chest and can be seen in Room 1015 in the General Class- rooms building from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Both the Communications Society and the video yearbook are faiurly new groups that have had successful starts this year. The Communications society just got started this year in and this is the video yearbook's second year making the video. Seventeen students worked on the video over the whole year. The video is 49 minutes long and there are 5,000 copies printed and available to students. "It has a little bit of every- thing from the past yearsaid Greg Brown, director of the year- book. The video is broken down into three sections ? academics, organizations and Pirate life, which is all about student life at ECU. There are also some stu- dent interviews discussing varioussubjects regarding ECU. The executive producer is Steve Lewis, and he made the fi- nal decisions on how the video was to be carried out. Theeditng team consists of Andy Bronn, Kelly Smith and Mike SnvJer. During the fall semester, the gioup looked at three different video yearbooks?UNCG's, GeorgeMa- son University's and last year's ECU's yearbook?and critiqued them. This way they could make improvements in the yearbook to make the best possible vide year- book for the 1994 school ear. "We would like to expand the video yearbook ever more next year Brown Said. The ECU Communication? society is another group getting off the ground. They hive had some good events sucl as one hosting the yearbook's premiere.

It's greasy, dis- gusting and generally not very good for us. But, we eat it any- way. I guess it smells too good, all fried-up and lurking there on our breakfast plates between the eggs and a piping hot cup of cof- fee. We just can't help ourselves. Tne band Sausage evokes a similar response in me, even though they're not (to the best of my knowledge) composed of any spices or ground-up pig meat. What the band Sausage is com- posed of is Les Claypool, Todd Huth, and Jay Lane?three musi- cians associated the with MTV Smash Hit band, Primus. I'm not entirely sure that listening to these guys is very good for my health either, though, so maybe they're more like edible sausage than I thought. For instance, you can never be sure exactly what parts of a pig get ground up to make edible sausage. Similarly, no one seems to know what the exact origin of this audible Sausage is, either. Is this a side project for Primus See SAUSAGE page 10 Godstar Lie Down Forever 1JJ Gosdstar's recent release "Lie Down Forever" is incredibly me- diocre. This Australian band claims to be a close relative to the Lemonheads. But I can hardly see the connection. The first song, "Lie Down For- ever" sounds like theCure warmed over. It featured very few rhy thmi- Worth A Try Definite Purchase cal variations, and has no real depth. The next song, "Sleeper was simply an extension of the first song. The third song 'Kitchen is kind of entertaining. It's a happy little love song which was previ ously released on Lemonheads album, It's a Shame About Ray. The vocals on "Kitchen" sound like a cross between The Stone Roses and Elvis Costello. They were obviously trying to sound English throughout this album. The next song, "It's Down to You to Make It Up to Me is basically a Pixies rip-off with al- most exactly the same progres- sive chord changes that also fea- tured the same glittering guitar solos. The fifth song Dead Sad Night was incredibly basic. In- cluding the chorus, the entire song had a total of two chord changes. .

"Nunsense" attracts many special stars NEW YORK (AP) ? "1 used to do so many talk shows says Dody Goodman in a voice that lies somewhere between Betty Boop and Blanche Dubois, with maybe a bit of your Aunt Mildred from Columbus thrown in for good measure. "But you have to have a sex change or get hit in the knee with a pipe to get on them now she sighs. It's a voice that can make just about any subject sound funny, a talent that has served Goodman well over the years, particularly .as a sidekick to Jack Paar on his old late-night television show, on the soap spoof "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and in countless TV and radio commercials. These day s if you want to hear , the distinctive Goodman gargle in person, you have to go to the Douglas Fairbanks Theater where the actress has become the first jiame performer to join the New rTork cast of "Nunsense I You remember "Nunsense7" The little musical about nuns, the ! Little Sisters of Hoboken to be specific, that's now in its ninth ? year off-Broadway? The show has been done just ' about everywhere. In 1991, there were more than 300 productions ! playing around the world. As of ??mm ii H i this year, "Nunsense" has re turned an astonishing 1,500 per- cent profit on its original invest- ment of $150,000. The "Nunsense" alum asso- ciation on the road includes such diverse performers as Phyllis Diller, Kaye Ballard, Peggy Cass, Pat Carroll, JoAnne Worley, Edie Adams, Jaye P. Morgan, Alice Ghostley, Georgia Engel, Pudgy and even Honor Blackman ? Pussy Galore of James Bond movie fame ? who appeared in the Lon- don production. Goodman is a "Nunsense" veteran, traveling with the show for two years in the role of Sister Mary Amnesia. Now she has graduated to the role of Mother Superior, a part she adores. There's not much about the show she doesn't like. Heck, she even likes the costumes. "I love the habit she says with a sly smile on her face. "You have the most marvelous shoes, too. They're great big black Ox- fords, and they are so comfort- able. And the wimple is so good. It hides your double chin ? al- most. And the robes.

Her parents loved show busi- ness, although they weren't in it themselves. Her father ran a small cigar factory in Columbus, Ohio. "They thought, 'She'll go, and it doesn't matter. When her money runs out, she'll be back the ac- tress recalls. "But I stayed Goodman danced in the cho- rus of several shows choreo- graphed by Jerome Robbins, in- cluding "High Button Shoes" and "Miss Liberty Her first speaking role was in the Rosalind Russell musical "Wonderful Town" in 1953. "I had to make so many transi- tions into other things says Goodman, who fortunately was in the right place at the right time for all those changes. "When I first came out of dancing, I did revues It was the early to mid-1950s, when small, topical nightclub re- vues flourished, and Goodman, a natural comedian, thrived in them. She performed in shows by Ben Bagley and Julius Monk and in Jerry Herman's first effort, a revue called "Parade Her spot on Paar's show be- gan in 1957 and lasted seven years. "I was just thrown into the talking Goodman says. "I had no idea how to do that. In fact, they just called me up and asked me if 1 wanted to be on 'The Jack Paar Show I didn't know who Jack Paar was. They said, 'We just want vou to sit and talk Goodman's success on Paar's program and her frequent appear- ances on "The Merv Griffin Show "Duckman" raises satire debate and "Girl Talk" in the 1960s are not surprising. She's a talker with a slightly off-beat outlook. Plus she could tell a funny story. In 1974, for example, Goodman appeared with Bette Davis in "Miss Moffat a musi- cal version of Emlyn Williams' "The Corn Is Green Scheduled for a long tour, it opened and closed in Philadelphia in less than two weeks. "Oh, Bette was a grouchy lady ? a very grouchy lady Goodman giggles. "Well, it was at that time in her life when it was too difficult for her to sus- tain a big part like that and go on the road. She had so much on her mind. "One Friday night ? I had a dressing room next to hers and she always came in early ? I came in and she wasn't there and I thought, 'Oh-oh We were booked for a year's tour.

DUCKMAN Simpsons and eyes and brows that reside on his eyeglasses in- stead of his face. Duckman lives in a down- at-heels neighborhood beside the freeway in a malevolent car- toon universe which strikingly resembles the pop culture of Los Angeles. As a family man, he is a flop. He lives with his dead wife's identical twin, Aunt Bernice, his three sons, 16-year-old Ajax (a dead ringer for Baby Huey); the 10-year-old twins, Charles and Mambo, who share the same body; and Gramdma-ma, a to- tally inert old lady whose only expressions are flatulent. Duckman is a lazy, libidi- nous, weak-willed, shallow, self-centered, insensitive, inse- cure bundle of neurotic energy who can't see the forest for the trees and is loathed by his sis- ter-in-law and dissed by his sons. And, of course, he's just as lovable as you and 1. (It helps, too, that Duckman's voice is pro- vided bv Jason Alexander, the nerdy George of NBC's hit sitcom "Seinfeld) In his job as a private dick, Duckman has a deadpan pig named Cornfed for a partner, whose monotone voice hovers between Jack Webb and Miguel Ferrer. His office assistants are two angelic, cloyingly sweet stuffed teddy bears named Fluffy and Uranus whom Duckman routinely destroys, just because they're so sweet. Say, did somebody mention satire? Emphatically, yes. In a previous episode, Duckman ? guilt-ridden for his wife's untimely death ? tried to rescue his faltering sex life with a "beak augmentation" while tormented with lust for a set of pneumatic twin blondes.

Mysterious! Either way, this audible Sau- sage album, Riddies are Abound Tonight, is a savory blend of mu- sical stvles and instrumental in- terplay in much the same way that edible sausage is a savory blend of spices, intestine, and pig flesh. Claypool's unique bass stvlings aren't quite as dominant here as they are on Primus projects. . ? . It's the guitar work of ex- Primus guitarist Todd Huth that attracts the most attention on this album. Claypool tends to stay in the background, lurking like ed- ible sausage between the guitar ' and the booming drums of Jay Lane. This music is funkier than Primus, while still retaining that flavor of jazz and weirdness that Les Claypool brings to anything he works on. Claypool also sings on this ! album, and his peculiar, nasal twang will most likely prove just as annoying to Primus-haters as it ever has. In fact, Sausage am- plifies all the traits that make some people dislike Primus. The music is dense and complicated, and it doesn't follow any easily predictable rhythm pattern. Claypool's vocals are often muddy and reduced to insane mumbling, and the lyrics are sometimes complete nonsense. Of course, these are the same traits that Primus fans (like myself) love the most, so maybe it's a moot point. I like Sausage, in both its au- dible and edible varieties. Both are complex and messy, and a bit disgusting when you get right down to it. But that's what makes it so cool. So, when dealing with audible Sausage and Riddles are Abound Tonight, heed the warn- ing of the album's final track, "Caution Should be Used While Driving a Motor Vehicle or Oper- ating Machinery Just be careful out there. Sausage is heady stuff. ? Mark Brett JAZZ Continued from page 7 nied her. Thesecond half was mostly Big Band, with Hoagy Carmicheal's "Star Dust" and three arrangements by Duke Ellington.

The program ended with Ellington's "Cottontail This was an open jam session with solos abounding?all the guests artists really shined. McBride started the song with an excruciating bass solo that just about got me out ot my seat. It would have been worm it to attend the nights performance just to hear this. The rest of the tune was spent passing the solos around. Almost everyone got their chance and per- formed well.

One of the most disturbing things about this album, aside from the music itself, was that the record- ing was poor. It was almost like thev plugged in a microphone and recorded the music. A lot of times the bass and drums were almost impossible to hear. The band also has no real identity. After listening to the album, I felt like I'd just heard a lot of covers of English bands.

The former basketball star is now hitting a team-high 304 and kept his five-game hitting streak alive. He is now 7-for-23 after seven games this season (through Sun- day). 'Tmjust trying to hit the ball as it comes to me Jordan said. 'Tmjust trying to improve every- day.It's been a lot of fun thus far and I just hope I can try to keep improving' In his first at-bat, Jordan hit a slow grounder to second for the second out in the second inning.

By Brian Olson Sports Editor While Sunday night's game centered onMichaelJordan through his eight and half innings, the Mudcats drew all the attention in ?he bottom of the ninth to pull out a 4-3 come-rrom-behind win over the Birmingham Barons in a Class AA game of the Southern League. The former UNC, Chicago Bull basketball star had a quality day, 2- for-4 with a stolen base, but was on the bench when the hottest action took place. Jordan was replaced by Randy Hood for defensive purposes in the bottom of the ninth when the Mudcats (6-5) rallied for two runs and the victory. "As of Sunday he Jordan is not our best rightfielder defen- sively head coach Terry Francona said. "That does not mean that from two weeks from now he won' t be. That will not surprise me one bit, our objective is to win games and he understands that. We took him out for defensive purposes and that happens all the time with a lot of people. I don't think that will last very long knowing Michael Tim Marx's game winning bases loaded single brought home the winning run for Carolina in the ninth. DH Mark Johnson led off the inning with a double and the Barons brought in reliever Matt Karchner to help try and save the day. The next batter hit a fly ball to Jordan's replacement in rightfield, Hood, who dropped the ball. This resulted in runners at the corners with no outs. Then trouble broke loose with the Barons (2-8). Francona and shortstop Glenn Disarcina were ejected for arguing the controversial dropped ball. Firstbaseman Mike Brown then singled in the first run and thirdbaseman Bruce Schreiber was intentionally walked to set up Marx's game winning hit. Mike Zimmerman picked up the win for Carolina and Karchner took the loss. Francona seemed to pleased with the obvious hard work ethic of his 31-year old rookie. "We ask our guys to make improvements every dav and he's certainly doing that out there Francona said. "He makes adjust- ments and that's important to me. He watches, he learns, he's really doing a great job Ficklen Stadium receives donations for expansion (SID) ? Ron and Mary Ellen Dowdy, of Orlando, Fla have announced a $1 million gift to the East Carolina University Edu- cation Foundation, the fundraising arm of ECU athlet- ics. The gift will go towards the plcinnedexpansion of ECU's foot- ball stadium, which will be re- named Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Ron Dowdy, who is a mem- ber of the school's Boa rd of Trust- ees, currently oversees commer- cia 1 leases, residential apartments and several other enterprises, as part of Dowdy enterprises in Or- lando. "This is a crucial period of time in the growth of the ECU athletics program. I felt that it was time for someone else to step up and make a significant ges- tureof financial support if ECU's football program is to stabilize at the highest level of competition. Mary Ellen and I are happy to be in a position to make such a gift stated Dowdy. Dowdy, a 1966 graduate of ECU, served in the U.S. Air Force from 1966-71, reaching the level of Captain. After leaving the service, Dowdy entered the imported fine-gift-andfurniture business in Winter Park, Fla. He also man- aged the successful campaign of Florida State Senator Alan Trask.

Logan received a big assist in the return of starting quar- terback, Marcus Crandell, who went out in last year's second game with a broken leg. DuringSaturday's final scrim- mage, the quarterback combina- tion of Crandell, Chris Hester, Dan Gonzalez and Perez Mattison led the Purple team (the offense) over the Gold (defense) 20-6. The Purple team scored points like a normal game, while the defense scored points for stopping or causing turn- overs from the offense. "I think that we are going to get back to doing what it is that we usually do best Logan said. "That's throw and catch the short ball Freshman John Peacock, of- fensive MVP, ran for a team-high 59 yards and Mitchell Galloway led the receivers with threecatches for 38 yards. Transfer Ben Fossey also caught three for 34 yards and one touchdown. Since this was a scrimmage within the team, coaches want to play athletes that are competing forstarting roles or are transefers. This helps coaches understand a player's ability at normal game speed. Offensively, the highly tal- ented running back Junior Smith did not even participa te in a single play. More regulardefensivestart- ers played because of a slim amount of backups at certain po- sitions. "I think it was a fun game Smith said. "Everything was a based offense and based defense. I think we got a lot of work done for the younger guys. A lot of the older guys didn't play today, but we wanted to get a chance for the younger guys to get better in this last spring game so they can help us out next year Last season, the Pirates really improved on the defensive side of the ball under first year defen- sive coordinator Larry Coyer. He left the team over the winter to be a defensive line coach for the NFL's New York Jets. Paul Jette has taken over the reigns of this young defense from Texas Chris- tian University. "We've talked toourdefense about picking up where they left off last year and getting better Logan said Alot of that is going to depend on what our defensive secondary does. We have to get better in the backend, there's no question The defensive unit only had three seniors listed on a 37-man roster, but the young squad ap- pears to be pretty solid up front.

Early on in 1994, "The Hammer" has made his presence felt, giving the Royals a badly-needed dose of power while filling the roster position vacated by the retired George Brett. The 6-foot, 235-pound Hamelin graduated from Irvine High School, in Irvine, Ca. where he played both baseball and foofbalL He wasrecruited by Notre Dame as a linebacker, but chose to play baseball for UCLA and Rancho Santiago Junior College. He promptly set a California Juco record 31 home runs in 1988. Hamelin was Kansas City's 2nd round selection in the 1988 June Free Agent Draft. In 1988,hewas named to the Northwest League All-Star team aftercompilinga .298averagewithl7 home runs in just 235 at bats. He moved to Double-A ball in 1989 and hit .308 with 16 home runs before a stress fracture in his back prematurely ended hisseason. How- ever, he was still named a Southern League All-Star, and was placed on the Royal's 40-man roster after the season Continued back injuries limited Hamelin to just 200 games and 657 at bats over the next three seasons, and Hamelin underwent posterolateral disc fusion surgery to permanantly correct the problem. In 1993, Hamelin was healthy throughout the season and put up outstanding numbers to prove it. He was named an American Association All-Star while playing for the Triple- A Omaha Royals,andhit 259 with 29 Photo by Dave Pond Hamelin was recruited out of high school by Notre Dame as a linebacker, but went to UCLA to play baseball.

That is where the Central Scouting Bureau (CSB) comes in to play. Up-to-date and detailed reports and evaluations are given to each team's general manager prior to the NHL draft by the CSB. Without the scouting bu- reau, a player such as Lemieux might have never been discov- ered. Each team in the NHL funds a central scouting agency (the CSB). It consists of anywhere from 12-16 scouts whose job is to evaluate eligible amateur athletes who will be available for each NHL draft. The scouts can be assigned to one specific geo- graphic region or travel thecoun- try, giving "second opinions" on prospects who have received fa- vorable reviews from other scouts. The scouts attend as many amateur games as possible, fil- ing game reports on each scouted player. At the end of the sea- son, it is not un- common for more than 80 reports to be on file for an in- dividual player. After season's end, each scout is re- quired to file a qualitative report for every player that they have seen enough to have become fa- Mario Lemieux First pick in '84 draft miliar with their talents. The scouts assess each player in ten different area$: skating, shootingscoring, po- sition play, checking, puck con- trol, passing, hockey sense, de- sireattitude, tough- nessagressiveness, and sizestrength. The crite- ria of the report has not changed since 1982, which suggests that scouts have remainedin agreement regarding the dimensions necessary for NHL success. For each area (taslc requirement), there are roughly seven to ten sub- divisions. For example, toughness; agressiveness is broken down into seven compo- nents: mean streak, hit- ting, physical, fighting, menta. toughness, not intimidated, and See HOCKEY page 14 12 The East Carolinian April 12, 1994 Lady Pirates make history (SID)?

The Pi- rates dominated the sprinting events, while setting CAA meet records. The team placed fourth in the conference overall, an im- pressive feat considering the team is primarily limited to sprinting events. Freshman Dwight Henry (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) led the Pirates with a 46.97 second finish in the 400 meter dash. Henry captured first in the event, setting a new meet record. The Pirate standout was also named the Men's Athlete of the Meet. Teammate Kareem Lamb finished fourth in the event at 48.44 seconds. Henry was also successful in the relay events, anchoring a first- place finish in the 4x100. The Pi- rates' 4x400 squad captured a sec- ond-place finish Senior Charles Miles (India- napolis, IN) also scored big for ECU, narrowly edging out fellow Pirate Lewis Harris (Wadesboro, NC) to win the 1 (X) meters. Tremain Parker finished fifth in the event Harris was able to reverse the order, however, in the 200 meter run, as he narrowly bested Miles to win that race. Freshman Brian Johnson (Beaufort, SC) garnered a fifth-place finish. The Pirates were able to score points outside of sprint competi- tion with the performance of Mt.

(SID)?ECU officialsand state legislators officially signaled the renovation of the 27-year-old Minges Coliseum Thursday night at a groundbreaking ceremony. At the same rime, it was announced that the new arena inside Minges Coliseum will be named Williams Arena, in recognition of a $1 Mil- lion gitt bv the Walter L. Williams family. Mr. Walter L. Williams, presi- dent and founder of Trade Oi 1 Com- pany, gave ECU Athletics a $1 mil- lion gift in November, 1993, as a part of the university's Shared Vi- sions Campaign. Trade Oil Company, a family owned and operated company, was founded in 1984 and presently operates 29 gasconvenience stores in eastern North Carolina under the name of Trade Mart. "It is a great honor to have East Carolina University name the arena inside Minges Coliseum for me said Williams. "I have a great deal of pride in our university and I am fortunate to be able to give some- thing back to ECU. It should not matter where vou went to school, if you live in eastern North Caro- lina, vou should support East Carolina University. It is our school Williams has also been a Pirate Club member for over 27 years, while his son, David, and his son-in-law, Edwin Clark, have been members for 10 and 12 years, respectively. "Walter Williams' vision for our basketball program is truly coming to fruition with the Minges project underway said Dave Hart, ECU director of Athletics. "It is a fitting tribute that the arena bear his name The new Williams Arena will seat 7,500 fans, be air-con- ditioned, have a new playing surface, new lighting and new locker and team areas for men's and women's basketball and volleyball, as well as other fea- tures which will make it a very modernized arena. Minges Coliseum was builrin 1967 at an original cost of $2 million. The original facility was dedicated on Jan. 27, 1968, in the name of the Minges family.

The controversy over Steve Carlton's alleged anti- Semitic remarks is quieting down, which seems appropriate for the formerly silent left- hander. David V. Kahn, president of the American Jewish Congress, on Thursday welcomed Carlton's statement disavowing a number of inflammatory positions attrib- uted to the pitcher in Philadel- phia Magazine. Kahn said his or- ganization no longer opposes Carlton's induction into the Hall of Fame. "It is, of course, impor- tant to the millions of Americans who view majorleague baseball as one of the most precious of our national institutions that those who are honored by entry in its Hall of Fame exhibit character and values in keeping with their acknowledged skill on the field Kahn said in a statement. "SteveCarlton was undoubt- edly one of baseball's most out- standing pitchers. We are re- lieved to hear from him that he denies making remarks that could be interpreted as offensive to Jews and that he finds them as repugnant as we do. Just as base- ball embodies our best Ameri- can tradition, so does Mr. Carlton's rejection and repudia- tion of bigotry The AJC reacted angrily to the article and asked that the pitcher be barred from enshrine- ment in Cooperstown. Of par- ticular concern were references to The Elders of Zion and 12 Jew- ish bankers meeting in Switzer- land and ruling the world. Carlton, elected to the Hall in January and due for induction on July 31, issued a statement in which he said, "I have just be- come aware of the request for an apology from the American Jew- ish Congress. I join with them in calling for an apology for the in- sensitive remarks attributed tome by Pat Jordan, the man who wrote the article in question. "The article has almost no truth in it. I reject it completely. It is wrong about my baseball ca- reer, my personal beliefs, my fam- ily life and my new hometown. There are so many errors that it would be foolish to try to correct them individually. But let me say that I specifically deny saying any- thing that could be interpreted as offensive to Jewish people. Istand on my long record of treating all teammates and opponents with the same respect, be they Jewish, black or white Carlton said that Sandy Koufax, a Jew, was one of his role models and that he would be ap- pearing at an event with Koufax in the near future. Jordan, a minor-league pitcher before turning to writing, stood by his story, which he de- veloped in a two-day visit to Carlton's 400-acre ranch near Durango,Colo. "I went there and I wrote what he said and I don't care what he says Jordan said from his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
