Some graduates listen attentively to journalist Daniel Schorr; others toss a beach ball, uncork champagne bottles and celebrate in their own way. By Maureen Rich Managing Editor Hot sunshine beating down on black robes mattered little to the class of 1994. ECU's eighty-firth Spring Commencement, which took place May 7, offered the gradu- ates one last chance to show their spirited sides. They took advan- tage of this opportunity. The entertainment began when the graduates marched onto the field of Ficklen Stadium. Origi- nally estimated to be 2,100, approxi- mately three-fourths of the gradu- ates actually participated in the cer- emonies. Those who did partici- pate made up for those missing. Shouts of welcome to family and friends seated in the stands filled the air, and so did some grad u- ates. Bv climbing up on their seats, many graduates found a better way toensure they would be easily spot- ted. Balloons peppered the field as well, offering another visual attrac- tion. One student took no chances and held up a posterboard reading, "Here I am As the ceremony began, the notorious beach ball could be seen launched from corner to corner of the Held,butthewind wasnotagree- able and security quickly confis- cated any stray balls. Boos from the graduates drowned out the senior class president's speech as the beach ball was whisked from the area, and the confiscating faculty mem- ber gave a helpless smile. The graduates would not be undermined, however. A feeble wave rippled through the group during the ceremony Gaining mo mentum, almost all of the gradu- ates then took part in a wave the surged across the field. Cheers and applause for this united effort once again drowned out the words of the speaker. Reports that security members were seenapplauding the show could not be confirmed. Persistently, the graduates managed to maintain their side- show throughout the entire cer- emonv. Bubbles wafted through the air at one point. Some were legiti- mate bubbles, others smelled a bit like champagne. Tine commencement ad- dress, given by renowned jour- nalist Daniel Schorr, alsocatered to the light, carefree sentiments of the students, but also ottered some strong, realistic advice. Schorr based his speech on his own experiences during the 50 vears he dedicated to journalism. His speech was not prepared, he merely kept to his own personal style and made it up as he went along. He offered his first bit of advice immediately in thespeech. Schorr told the graduates that, as they prepared " to leave these hal- lowed halls and go out into the cold, cold world they should heed one piece of advice. "Don'tgo'Schorrad vised. "There's nothing better out there than what you have here Schorr compared this day and age to his own time of graduation. See GRADUATION page 3 Joyner renovations remain on schedule Additional parkins spaces to be lost behind Joyner Library By Stephanie Lassiter Assistant News Editor The Joyner Librarv reno- vations will not cost as much as originally projected; however, the leftover monev will not be used to build a parking deck. Estimations for the three- phase expansion project reached as high as S29 million, butaccording to ECU Comp- troller Dan Bishop, the new pro- jections are under budget, yet the money must return to its original owner. The Board of Governors for the UNC system. "The additional monevj is not left up to the university Bishop said. "The money is ap- propriated by the Board of Gov- ernors and it will go back into a pool In time, the monev will be allocated for other projects throughout the UNC school sys- tem. Many wonder why the ex- cess money allocated for the ex- pansion has not been used for the acquisition of the old Rose High School property, but it must be returned to the Board of Governors. The acquisition is still under negotiations. A sta- tus report was sent to Raleigh yesterday Bishop said, but a change in school system per- sonnel has created a stand-still on the process. Although the cost of the expansion project is consider- ably lower than previously pro- jected, the renovations will not be short-changed Joyner will be doubled in size, to 300,000 square feet, an addition of 160,000 square feet. This will create additional space for books and students. There will be space fur ! .5 million volumes dt text, up from the . urrent . a- pacity of 970,000. Seating will increase from 1,100 seats to 2,000 dditionally, 36 to 38 ar- eas will be provided for group study meetings Parking spaces began dis- appearing as construction be- gan Friday, May 6. The first phase of construction will be on the back of the existing build- ing and should take approxi- mately 19 months. The new building will vacate much of the parking lot located behind Joyner. The second phase of con- struction, which will last 10 to 11 months, will include renova- tions on the East Wing and the creation of a pedestrian corri- dor. Construction should begin within several weeks of the of- ficial groundbreaking ceremony set for May f, said Bruce Five, director of facilities planning. "We expect to have the contractor on-site within the next three to four weeks he said. The general contractor for the expansion project is J.H. Hudson of Greenville. Other contracts for renovations and expansion have been awarded. According to an article published in The Daily Reflector, the architects responsible for de- signing the new Joyner Librarv have received an award for their excellence in design. The Win- ston-Salem and Piedmont sec- tions of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Insti- tute of Architects have honored the firm of Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce with a merit award for excellence in design. "The scale is good, and I'm sure it will contribute a great deal to the campus a repre- sentative ol the American Insti- tute of Architects said in a pre- pared statement.

The Surgeon General emphasized the need for health care reform and gun control. Photo by Leslie Petty Elders stirs up ECU By Jason Williams News Editor Seldom do students remem- ber the commencement speaker. Even the most famous people of- ten give long, boring speeches at graduations. On May 5, however, graduates from the ECU School of Medicine listened to Surgeon Gen- eral Joycelyn Elders deliver an impassioned speech about health care reform and the role of doc- tors in the 1990s. Before Chancellor Richard Eakin introduced Elders to a ca- pacity crowd at Wright Audito- rium, Craig Souza, chair of the ECU Board of Trustees, addressed the graduates. He commended Dr. lames Hallock, dean of the School of Medicine, tor "rising above political pettiness and narrow- mindedness" by not rescinding Elders'invitation in the wake of political protests. Eakin then introduced El- ders as an "able-minded" per- son with a "strong will and said she is one who "doesn't pull anv punches I lesaid she has authored more than 100 re- search articles and is well-re- spected in her field for her work in rural medicine. Elders began her remarks bv mentioning several crises in our nation's history. "Why do we need health care reform?" she asked. "I say we have a crisis.

Cesar Colon, Amanda Hines, Angela Ba- con Reid and Carol Shields were all recognized bv the Alumni Asscxria- tion for excelling in academics, ser- vice and leadership at ECU and in the community. The University award, presented as an engraved plaque, is the most prestigious honor given at graduation. The Alumni Associate n also establishes a SI ,000 scholarship in the name of each recipient. Several students were nomi- nated for the award which is given each year. Faculty members nomi- nate students, and finalists partici- pate in an interview with several alumni members. Finalists must give a three-minute presentation and then answer questions. The committee asks questions about everything, from topics concerning the students' majors to how they would like their obituary to read. Colon is a graduate of the nursing program. He was a non- traditionalstudentseekinghLs third degree; he has previously obtained a degree in criminal justice and holds a Master's degree in public administration. Colon commuted from New Bern and maintained a 4.0 average while keeping a part- time job as a pharmacy technician He said that although everything around him has fallen apart in the past few vears, achieving at school has been his greatest focus. "I can hardly get my head through the door Colon said, about winning the award. "This was not a goal I set out to doI just simply wanted to do as best as I possibly could, and as it turns out, it has far exceeded my expectations and evervoneelse'swho'sbeen with me Colon described the alumni interview as stressful. Colon sa i d the cornrni tree had several very specific md tough questions which he had to answer. The questions dealt with men in nursing, health care reform and the reason he chose nursing as a major. Colon is a member of Sigma Theta Tau. a nursing honor society and is planning to continue with graduate school on a part-time ba- sis. ie is also hoping to work in the critkalcareunitatCraven Regional Medical Center here he expects to eventually work in the recovery room.

"Every criminal has the right to a law ver. Why shouldn't every sick person have the right to health care?" Elders said the United States spends more as a percentage ot GDP (Gross Domestic Product) on health care than any nation in the world. The problem, she said, is that the nation does not spend enough on preventive health care. She said that guns have be- come a health care issue. "I'm sure you know hunters shes lid.

He focused on his own "Three R's reality, risk and re- demption. Appropriately, he re- ferred to the latter as he remem- bered the late President Richard Nixon. Schorr said the most impor- tant aspect of one's accomplish- ments is personal satisfaction � knowing that what was right took precedence over what was easiest and most accepted. He advised the graduates that someday they would be faced with a risk. He reminisced of his own Watergate days, when he risked being jailed for defending the First Amendment.

Time for an end to personal attacks & �- ;�. hi, lit A few years ago. Queen Elizabeth'created quite a stir in the British press by publicly com- menting on her "annus horriblilis Though he probably will not publicly admit it like she did, by the time this year is over, President Clinton might well feel that 1994 has been his worst year by far. Just since December, the President has faced three major assaults on the already shaky perceptions of his character and credibility. The latest of these, the allegations of sexual harass- ment by Paula Jones, are potentially the most damaging and the most unfair. - - Like too many political figures in the recent past, Mr. Clinton now faces unsubstantiated aharges of impropriety, charges which have at lpast the appearance of political motivation. In the "last few years, either the level of morals of our public officials has drastically dropped, or members of all parties have decided that it is easier to sling mud than to attempt to refute their opponents' arguments. While there is some evidence to support the first contention, in most cases it is the latter that holds. ; In the present case, even if then-Governor Clinton did everything that Jones has claimed, the only sensible reason for bringing it up at this time is to sully the President's reputation in hopes of hampering his political power. If the motivation were to right an injustice, the appro- bate time for such an action would have been ree years ago, immediately after the incident. This practice of using negative campaigns to embarass political opponents is as old as our epublic. However, previous campaigns' rheto- ic appears quite kindly compared to our own. or example, Richard Nixon was widely reviled for stating that political opponents were soft on communism. In the past decade, the practice of using well-financed smear campaigns has been refined and perfected. Beginning with the nomi- nation of Judge Robert Bork, special interest groups began to compile and release data on appointments and candidates with whom they disagreed. The most lasting and dangerous result of all this character assasination has been not to any individual's reputation, though that is bad enough. The really terrible outcome is that it is further alienating an already overly cynical public. The profession of politics, already widely despised as the province of crooks, is even more degraded in the public's sight when its practioners resort to personal innuendo rather than principled debate. Since politicians de- pend upon the good will of the populace to accomplish their goals, the end result is the inability of anyone to lead effectively. Even more revolting is the hypocrisy ex- hibited on all sides in these controversies. The staunchest defenders of Senator Bob Packwood are now the President's harshest critics. Femi- nists who called for Clarence Thomas' head are mostly silent on the present issue. All of this shows that allegations of wrong- doing belong in a court of law, where disinter- ested parties may weigh all the evidence and come to a fair decision. Until such time as a court rules that wrong- doing has occurred, the loyal opposition should continue using logic and reasoning to show why the government is wrong and leave the scandlemongering to the tabloids.

Ive always wondered how this Irian manages to pay his powenbill for the month of De- cember. He lives in a little house and every inch of his property is covered with electrical Christ- mas juhk. I don't know his name but he has decorated his house in this manner for as long as I can-remember. Cars line up and drive by while he sits on the porch and waves. When I was in high school, (thought that this guy was tres icky. After my first psychol- gy class in college, I theorized tat he hadn't received enough ttention as a child. Now, how- ver, I believe that he does this . to his house each year � spends ridiculous amounts of money on electricity and sits on his porch in 30 degree weather�because write the great American novel. Some people write books. Some people paint pictures. Most people have children � what better way to outlive yourself? The little old man in Greensboro, NC, decorates his house. And I think that those decorations are an act of love, too. It's hard for me to admit that an act of love can emerge from the commercial consumer- ism concept of Christmas that is represented by all of his glitz. Still, it seems that the carloads of children, counting the days until Santa Claus brings the Ju- rassic Park action figures or the Super Nintindo Game System, chill out and look on in wonder as they pass by the home of this Christmas man. But it's May and I'm talk- ing about Christmas. The rea- son that this story came to mind is that not long ago, I went to a place called "Acid Park" in Wil- son, NC. According to local lore, Acid Park was built by a father for his teenage daughter, Terry. Apparently, the daughter was coming home down a curving backwoods country road when she lost control of her car, wrecked and died. Her father built a monument to her so that no one would ever again miss the curve in the road that cost his daughter her life. If you approach the curve in the road at night, Acid Park looms like a huge collection of amusement park rides. It seems to appear out of nowhere�as if the headlights of the car some- how cause it to exist. As you get closer, you discover that the "rides" are actually metal struc- tures that are covered with re- flectors. The trees along the sides of the road are also covered with reflectors and the remains of the crashed car sit by the roadside with the name "Terry" spray painted on a nearby tree. Naturally, cars drive by and slow down, high school stu- dents hang out and drink beer. I wondered if the park perhaps causes more wrecks than it pre- vents. Still, "Terry" has been im- mortalized and her father has left something of himself be- hind. His daughter would have been the mark that he left on the world, but when she died, he had to recreate himself in some other way. So, a monument of metal and bits of reflective plastic seems like love to me � at least if the story surrounding its cre- ation is true. Maybe this all sounds a little bit corny, but I think that love is a hard thing to come by. Besides, it gives local teenagers and bored college stu- dents something to do when they're bored on a Friday night. Sometimes, tacky can be beauti- ful. We got some sorta thing about death in this country. On TV, if someone ain't yapping about whether someone else has the right to decide to shuffle off this mortal coil, they're discussing the legal- ity of helping someone to die. Turn the channel, oh, look, a new tally on how many people died in a country, where we're expected to take action. Wail a minute longer and the tube'U tell you who all died in this country, in this state, in this county, in this town. But more importantly, they died vio- lently. (Except for celebrities; how many heart attacks, strokes and old age deaths do you hear about in the media?) The deaths of note are horrible, sudden and violent. Can't take the news? Turn on music. Well, shoot, there's an- other tribute for someone who died too soon by dramatic and self-inflicted acts. Tune the sta- tion. Oh, wait, this is my favorite song. The one about the guy kill- ing his girlfriend or his friend or someone who looked at him the wrong way. ("Dude, it's killer. It shot right to the top of the charts. Number one with a bullet) Too much? Read a magazine. Oh, right. Forgot. The other coun- tries' dead and that musician and the president and Doctor Death. You might wanna put the maga- zine down and ha ve a snack. Well, turn that page, bubeleh, and read about how anything you sink your teeth into is gonna make you keel over and rot. Well, you give it up don't eat anything. Starve. Waste away. Die. Doht! Go outside and breath the fresh � oh, by the way, the acid rain and ozone depletion is super bad for ya � air. And run your toes through the grass. Pesticides, pal. A proliferation of pesky prod- ucts for putting down pests that pollute people. Point? Oh, yeah We got this deathwatch wish that goes beyond the border of morbid like Dick Vitale in a Taco Bell commercial. (Momenta mori, baby!) If "Rescue: 911" and "Cops" and weren't enough for vicarious death experiences, the "reality sells" ideal of entertain- ment has overstepped the once- refreshing bounds of plastic me- dia characters. I grew up thinking the" Incredible Hulk" and "The Rockford Files" weenied out on us for being so prim about vio- lence. It was obviously staged and shot and that level of suspension of disbelief worked fine until Stephen Boccho gave us shows that went from being gritty in re- gards to attitude to soaking from the amount of blood shown. But, then there's "MASH" wheresome- one was bound to bleed in every episode. And this is TV Guide's choice for best sit-com ever. Any- way, don't think I'm blaming one man for the downfall of civiliza- tion. If I did, I'd blame Ernest P. tension.) I think that we were exposed to the violence we always pre- tended with either in leisure or in entertainment. We played cow- boys and indians and army. We shot each other, died only to get up a few seconds later and go a'killin' again. It was fun because we knew we could get shot, die and go on. We escaped death. Cartoons are such a gas because you just know the coyote's gonna plummet like a stone to the can- yon floor and then only have a bandage on his noggin while he plots to eat the roadrunner. We grew up knowing about death enough to understand that tricking it is funny. Slapstick hu- mor is built on it. Wrestling and Sly Stallone make money off of it. But, we're hip-deep in death now. And it's revolting. Being re- minded about one's mortality is healthy. Being awash in it is de- bilitating. Constant awareness of death leads to inhibitions and tri- fling fears. Yeah. OK. We're gonna bite the big one someday, but why do it everyday? It's just weird. And all those earning money off of our dea th awareness�the war hawks, the true-story movie makers, the insurance companies, cigarette manufacturers Man, they're re- allv making a killing, huh? Letters to the Editor To the Editor, I am writing in response to the incident that occurred on College Hill recently. There seems to be a trend around here that when someone gets into trouble, it is always someone else's fault. People, we are no longer children. We need to learn to take responsibility for our actions. It is very embarrassing to me to turn on the news and see people at this university fighting. Not only were they fighting, but they were fight- ing over a water gun. This type of display is humiliating toward the image of ECU. Family and friends even called to inform me that this "event" was televised in Charlotte on the news. ECU does not need this type of publicity. To get back to the issue, we do not need to blame the outcome of this on someone else's race. The fact that the public safety officer was white has nothing to do with it. The officer was just doing hisher job. People need to grow up and realize that they are here for an education, not to be enter- tained for 4 years or more. We are all adults here (in age anyway) and we need to blame ourselves for our wrongdoings, not someone else. Sandy Bean Junior Nursing To the Editor, I've been hearing about your little SG A con- test, and I have to say it amuses me. All this trouble, all this fuss, all this scandal and for what? Leadership? Let's be honest about what SGA is. It's a bunch of fraternitysorority leeches building a resume while siphoning as much university money as possible into the Greek system's beer fund. If SGA were to disappear tomorrow, what would the average non-Greek ECU student lose? Absolutely nothing. If SGA is really this useless, and they've never demonstrated otherwise, then disbanding SGA seems like the only reasonable thing to do. In theory, student government is a good idea. In theory, it gives the student body some small voice in shaping the policies that will affect it, and gives the students peaceful and effective ways to voice grievances. If SGA ever served that purpose at ECU, it hasn't done so in recent memory. What ECU has instead is a bunch of greedy little schoolyard children, grabbing as much as they can for themselves and their friends, and helping nobody beyond that small group. If that's student government, I suggest giving stu- dent anarchy a try.

The East Carolinian May 18. 1994 Lifestyle Page 5 Walnut Creek offers hot summer lineup Photo Courtesy of MCA Legendary Blues guitarist B.B. King is just one of the artists who will visit Walnut Creek Amphitheatre this summer. Watch TEC for previews and recaps of some of the hottest shows coming in this concert season. This Month at Hardee's Walnut Creek Amphitheatre By Warren Sumner Lifestyle Editor "Something old, something new, something borrowed, some- thing blue A timeless saying usually re- served for matrimony, but one that holds true for the lineup of music scheduled at the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre this summer. There will be something for ev- eryone this year at the Creek, as the city of Raleigh will host the biggest and the best the music industry has to offer. The venue is known for fill- ing the North Carolina summers with an incredibly diverse offer- ing of national musical acts. This year's lineup is no exception. Nostalgia will be a big theme at Walnut O ek this year, as it will host plenty of acts from yes- teryear who are trying to reignite the fires of days gone by. In Au- gust, the Amphitheatre will present the Eagles, who are tour- ing for the first time in over a decade. Given the rabid reaction of North Carolina ticket-buyers after the announcement of their concert dates at the Creek, the Eagles concerts promise to be among the biggest shows of the summer. But the Creek's rock and roll offerings go far beyond that. Legendary folk-rock heroes Crosby, Stills & Nash will per- form at the Creek in June on their 25th anniversary tour. Jimmy Buf- fet returns with three sold-out June shows that testify to his as- tounding staying power. The Beach Boys, the Moody Blues, Traffic, REO Speedwagon, Steppenwolf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Steve Miller Band have all announced dates at the venue, with Steely Dan closing the sea- son on Aug. 30. Rhythm & Blues and Country will also be well represented this summer, with some of the biggest stars in those mediums already slated to perform. Wynonna Judd, one of the country genre's biggest stars, visited the Creek Saturday, but fans interested in 'kicking up their heels' will have plenty of chances left. The Creek's lineup will provide concert-goers with opportunities to see Brooks & Dunn, Marty Stuart, Hal Ketchum and Hank Williams, Jr. with Colin Raye and the Kentucky Head- hunters. Festivals sponsored by the Winn Dixie grocery chain and Miller Beer will provide fans of R&B chances to see "something blue" with artists such as B.B. King, Dr. John, K. C. and The Sun- shine Band and the Platters per- forming at extremely affordable prices. In addition to the contempo- rary country artists mentioned above, Walnut Creek will play host to some of the hottest new bands in the industry. Phish, a group making quite a stir with their ever-growing legion of fans invades the Creek in June on the "Hoist" tour. The Crash Test Dummies, perhaps the most unique band to break through to the mainstream this year, will open for Elvis Costello at the WRDU Earthbuddies Celebration and concert-goers will be treated to the sounds of Big Head Todd & The Monsters and the Screaming Cheetah Wheelies, who will sup- port the legendary Allman Broth- ers Band in July. The Brothers re- turn to the Creek supporting their new album Where It All Begins, which hit record store shelves ear- lier this month. The "something borrowed" category will be taken care of by the performances by Bette Midler, and the King of the Cover-Tune, Michael Bolton. The Divine Miss M' brings her revue to the Creek on June 2, and will surely present a variety of standard ballad re- makes that have been a staple in her career. Bolton performs this Friday, ready to capitalize on his multiple platinum album successes. The pop-music super- star will supplement his own music with the cover remakes of '60s and '70s songs that have helped his albums earn their platinum ratings. Ticket prices at the Creek are affordable, for the most part, averaging around $16 for seats on the Amphitheatre's lawn sec- tion and $35 for seating in the Pavilion section. Certain shows carry a higher rate. The Eagles lawn seats will carry a cost com- parable to other show's Pavilion seating, (around $40) while a seat in the Pavilion section at the Eagles shows will cost $97. Bette Midler's show also carries a slightly higher price-tag than the average ticket fare. Ticket information and schedule updates can be ob- tained from the MCIConcertline at 1-800-48-Creek.

Sonic Youth Experimental Jet Set, Trash and IHo Star � Once the music leaves your head, it's already compromised. � Jack Brewer This quote is scrawled on the back of the liner card for Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, the new release from college-radio legends Sonic Youth. Apparently, they took the words to heart. This music is drastically under-produced; a lot of it sounds like it was recorded in one take to keep it raw. Most of Sonic Youth's pio- neering, feedback-heavy noise- guitar music is raw, of course. But Experimentalet Setisa spacy fever-dream of an album, com- plete with stream-of-conscious- ness lyrics and only slightly more structured music. This experiment in low tech- nology begins with "Winner's Blues a straight-forward acoustic piece that sounds like it was recorded in somebody's living room. Acoustics are an unusual wrinkle for guitarist Thurston Moore, since the Sonic Youth sound relies so much on distortion and feedback, but he handles it well. A simple song about winning prizes that you don't really want, "Winner's Blues" is a nice, quiet intro that is anything but what long-time fans would expect. The next track, "Bull in the Heather is a bit more in the Sonic Youth style, but it's the style of their early work. Slow and halting, "Bull in the Heather" is a fitful song about desire and the need to be de- sired. Sonic Youth's leader, Kim Gordon, delivers this one with her trademark sensuality and a throaty whisper so desperately hot it could melt steel. With very little in the way of coherent rhythm and no hooks in sight, it's surprising that this track was chosen for the first single. But I admire their guts. Much like "Bull in the Heather the first half of the album sounds very much like Sonic Youth's earlier work. The songs are slow and dream-like, with a multi-layered structure that doesn't seem structured at all until you listen closely. Both raw and intricate, this is some brilliant music. But it has the tendency, like the band's ear- lier work, to run together at times. One song sounds much like the next, which causes the listener to lose track of them as individual pieces of music. But these songs give way to the driving, aggressive punk beat of Sonic Youth's later work on the second half of the album, beginning with "Androgynous Mind This track deals with Christianity versus homosexu- ality, and the moral dilemma this conflict causes. Sonic Youth's solution is bound to infuriate some people, however; as -in the final verse, Gordon sings, tverytning is an ngnt God is dead And you were right Moving into less controver- sial territory, we get other Sonic Youth gems sung to punk's tribal beat. "In the mind of the Bourgeois Reader" is a thump- ing rocker jam-packed full of cartoon and breakfast cereal references. Along with this frenzied stream-of-conscious- ness jam, there's "Tokyo Eye" and "Waist a desperately chilling number about anorexia. The album ends with . "Sweet Shine another slow piece that reflects "Winner's Blues This one is less purely acoustic, however, and maybe less pure in general. "Sweet Shine" definitely wasn't cut in a living room. It's far from slick, how- ever, and in that way it's much like the rest of Experimental jet Set, Trash and No Star. This lack of production doesn't mean the album is sloppy, though; this is good music being played well by some talented people. It's not the best work Sonic Youth has done. But, as the title suggests, this album is an experiment, an attempt to make music that's true to tne original vision or tne mu- sicians. And that can't be all bad. � Mark Brett Assistant Lifestyle Editor Lawrence falls short in Crazy Fox star out of his medium on large screen By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The very first time I ever went on a date, I saw a movie called Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip. Though slightly embarrassed by the language and the explicit sexual content, I found myself laughing heartily (with a small amount of trepidation for fear 1 would offend my date). Richard Pryor. amidst his raunchiness, found a way to entertain. I thought back on that Pryor film recently when I saw Martin Lawrence's first concert film, You So Crazy. Owen Gleiberman re- cently wrote in Entertainment Weekly tha t La w rence was the step- child of Richard Pryor if Eddie Murphv was Pryor's son. When Pryor, Murphy and Lawrence are considered in chro- nological order a definite evolu- tion becomes clear. The ground- breaking routines done by Pryor were expanded upon by Murphy and then further expanded by Lawrence. The ground that Pryor broke was that of the limits to which a comedian could take raunch. Pryor explicitly talked of sex, Eddie Murphy talked more explicitly about sex, and Martin Lawrence, well, he talks even more explicitly about sex. Yo� So Crazy has no MPAA rating because the rating given it was NC-17, meaning no person under 17could see the film.You So Crazy is a concert film with no violence and no nudity, yet was slapped with this rating because of its language and sexual content. Martin Lawrence pushes the boundary of good taste farther than it need have been pushed. He seems to think, much like Andrew Dice Clay, that raunch itself is funnv. A correlate of that theorem is that the raunchier the material, the funnier the material. Had Lawrence invested some of his energy into creating funny stories with genuinely amusing angles, then the raunch may have added to some of those stories. What Lawrence does instead is talk for 90 minutes the way he would talk to a couple of male cronies. The stories seem to be told at ran- dom with little or no point. You So Crazy was shot at the Majestic Theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. At least two shows are combined in the final concert footage. That two shows were intercut can be surmised by Lawrence's towel which seems to drift from the top of his stool to the bottom, as he paces back and forth across the screen. Since I noticed this continuity error early in the film, watching to see the towel jump from top to bottom actually proved more entertaining than most of what was being said on stage. Although You So Crazy dete- riorates rapidly, the first 20 min- utes do provide some genuine See CRAZY page 6 When a Man sobs into mediocrity By Ike Shibley Staff Writer When a Man Loves a Woman is a new film detailing the rela- tionship between an alcoholic and her family. Billed as a love story, this emotionally charged picture attempts to chronicle the suffering and the redemption sometimes associated with alco- holism. Meg Ryan is Alice Green, a woman who, from all exterior appearances, has a comfortable, happy life. Alice has a depend- able husband, two darling chil- dren and a stable career. She lives in a pleasant two-story house in San Francisco and drives a Mercedes. Yet, Alice complains of the pressures of her workplace, her family and her life in general. At one point, she tells her husband Michael (Andy Garcia) that he has no idea what she goes through. To deal with the bur- dens of her life, Alice drinks. Though this movie makes it Photo Courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia star in When a Man Loves a Woman, a story about how alcoholism affects a relationship. clear that Alice has a problem, tells him of the liquor she has the magnitude of her illness does not become apparent until well into the film. After collapsing in the shower, which results in a brief hospitalization, Alice tells Michael that she had been stay- ing high all day recently. She hidden all over the house and I how she would drink prima- I rily vodka so that Michael I could not smell it. Alice enters an extensive See MAN page 6 . 6 The East Carolinian May 18, 1994 MAN detoxification program to cure her of her habit. Though fright- ening and difficult for the entire family, both Michael and Alice know that such drastic measures need to be taken. While the first half of When a Man Loves a Woman details the downfall of Alice, the second half tells the story of her slow recov- ery. Alice claims that she wants a drink all the time following her detox program. She keeps Michael at arm's length, which prevents their relationship from recovering. When a Man Loves a Woman never recovers from its lack of focus. The filmmakers (director Luis Mandoki and writers Ronald Bass and Al Franken) never make it clear just what kind of story they want to tell. At first, Alice's problem rests with only her and the audience empathizes with Michael, but later in the film Michael gets si- lently recriminated because he thinks he can always solve Alice's problems. As this be- comes clear, the audience begins to pity Alice. The film tries to paint a real- istic portrait of the detoxifica- tion process, but only does so in brief snippets. With all its changes in tone, the one consis- tency in this movie is its melo- CAPPER DAN'� Vintage Clothing, Jewelry, Collectibles, Antiques, Furniture I J I ri��' Sill' 4 ii .ill � U Hies 4l�ll4'�l I V���ll � I 4 MCI 417 Evans St. Mall Downtown 752-1750 BUY � SELL � TRADE Continued from page 5 dramatic manipulations. Much like last year's My Life, in which Michael Keaton wrung tears from viewers as a man dying of cancer, When a Mn" Loves a Woman maneuvers iis main par- ticipants into scenes of contrived tension designed primarily to make eyes water and to propel the story only as an afterthought Many of the contrivances employed in this movie develop the necessary emotional power, but there are far too many of them. Michael decides at one point to move to Denver for a while, and spends several ago- nizing minutes saying good-bye to his two daughters. Michael also stands up at an Al-Anon meeting and emotionally talks about his spouse and his daugh- ters. Alice also gives an emo- tionally-charged speech at the end of the film jerrybuilt into the script to ensure enough sobs for the climactic finale. One of the main problems with When a Man Loves a Woman is the overabundance of over- blown scenes. The characters do not come to life in this film. They only go from one overly dra- matic moment to the next with no prerequisite connection. So many big scenes only serve to undermine the power of the film. Instead of gradually building to a powerful climax within the context of the film, each scene ends with a powerful climax which eventually wears out the viewer, either from too much emotion or sheer boredom when the folly of the filmmakers becomes apparent. Also particularly annoying is the overuse of music to under- score every scene. While talking seriously in a beach-side pool while on vacation, the conversa- tion between Michael and Alice can only be heard over silly mu- sic designed to heighten the dra- matic tension. Several times in the film images flash across the screen while a pop songster, like Percy Sledge or REM, wails in the background. This video ef- fect is meant to propel the film quickly to its next dramatic en- counter, but instead only serves to give the audience a chance to get readjusted in their seats. Enough details about the re- lationship between Michael and Alice are written into the script of When a Man Loves a Woman that any couple seeing the film will have something to talk about af- terward. Unlike a work of art, though, the discussions will end without further insight into the human condition being gleaned. Michael and Alice's problems seem to be their own without much connection to the univer- sal problems of mankind. Though disappointing, the film does provide some emotion- ally charges moments. For an en- tertaining date, one could do worse than take one's significant other to see this movie. On a scale of one to ten, When a Man Loves a Woman rates a five. Roseanne set for divorce CRAZY LOS ANGELES(AP) �This time Roseanne Arnold really means it. At least, that's what her publicist said when the actress filed for divorce Friday from Tom Arnold. It's the second time the TV star has moved to end her mar- riage. Last month, she alleged spousal abuse but withdrew her petition after just a few days, denying that her husband of four years ever hit her. The new petition cites ir- reconcilable differences, publi- cist Kevin Campbell said. After the first filing, Arnold predicted he and his wife would reconcile. This time, he kept quiet. Arnold "has nothing to say Continued from page 5 laughs (more than the next 70 min- utes combined). Lawrence talks about racism, Rodney King, Mor- gan Freeman in Driving Miss Daisy, and the difference between how whites and blacks watch movies. A foreboding feeling permeated the theater though, when he began talk- ing about how none of Dorothy's companions in OZ tried to have sex with her while traveling down the Yellow Brick Road. Lawrence does no impressions, recites no interesting poetry, and makes very few interesting obser- vations about life. In short, he per- forms none of the prerequisite du- ties of a comedian. Lawrence does try to make up for his dearth of material by infus- ing his show with much energy and enthusiasm. He bounds from one side of the stage to the other, rarely taking the time to sit. The one time he takes a drink of water he apolo- gizes for it and jibes the males in the audience who complain that they came to laugh and not to watch Lawrence drink water. Richard Pryor could be funny in his stand-up routines, though rarely in a Hollywood motion pic- ture. Eddie Murphy could be funny in both film and in concert though Raw, Murphy's last con- cert film, slid into tediousness quickly. Martin Lawrence has proven that he can be quite funny on television, in Fox's Martin, but You So Crazy expands on all the worstpartsof Murphy 'sRaw and becomes tiresome to watch. Since Lawrence has already found a medium in which to be funny, maybe he should stay there. On a scale of one to ten, You So Crazy rates a four. �M�� BRANDON L b I- Tbecupw Shibley will review The Crow for next Wednesday' iestie. at this time his publicist, David Brokaw, said. The new petition says the Arnolds have been separated since December, asks that Mrs. Arnold not be compelled to pay alimony and asks the judge to divide her multimillion-dollar assets. The Arnolds just bought a $3 million house next door to their Brentwood mansion. Arnold is executive pro- ducer of his wife's hit ABC-TV show "Roseanne" and she is ex- ecutive producer of his far less successful CBS-TV show "Tom The two have other TV and movie projects in the works with their Wapello County com- pany, and they opened "Roseanne and Tom's Big Food Diner" in Eldon, Iowa, last year.

Coach Overton's Pirates finished the regular season with a 34-16 overall record, but only a sub-par 8- 9 record in the CAA. Yesterday, the Pirates traveled to Norfolk, Va hop- ing to defend their 1993C AA Championship. The Pirates first game will be tonight at 7:30 versus the suprisingly competitive UNC- WilmingtonSeahaw'ks, who finished the regular season with a 10-8 CAA record, 28- 25 overall. If the Pirates win, they will take on the CAA's num- ber one-seed, Old Dominion, who comes into the touma- mentwitha 14-4CAA record, 33-10 overall. The Monarchs earned a first-round bye. All in all, the Pirates have enjoyed success during the 1994 season, both as a team and individually. Senior thirdbaseman Rick Britton was named the CAA Player of the week May 9th, joining March 14 recipient centerfielder Jamie Borel. Britton leads the Pirates in batting with a .383 average, and Borel ranks ninth in the nation in stolen bases with .863 averagestealsper game. On the mound, ECU has been strong as well. Junior southpaw Richie Blackwefl is ranked eighth in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings (11.5), and leads the Pirate hurlers with 78. Senior Johnny Beck is tied for second on the ECU career victory list with 29 wins. As a team, the Pirates have compiled a 3.33 earned run average. Gill named standout for 1993-4 season (SID)�Junior center Anton Gill was named East Carolina University's "Most Outstanding Player" at the school's annual men's basketball banquet on April 26, held at the Ramada Inn. Gill, a native of Raleigh, N.C was also given the squad's Out- standing Rebound Award. The 6-8,207 pound Gill averaged 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 59 percent from the floor. Kevin Armstrong, a 6-6 se- nior forward, won the team's Most Improved Player award. The Gastonia, N.C. native, aver- aged 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, starting seven games this season, including the last six contests. Wilbert Hunter, a 6-5 senior forward, was given the team's Defensive Award. The Raleigh, N.C. native, was a key reason why the Pirates fin- ished first in the Colonial Ath- letic Association in scoring de- fense. Lester Lyons, a 6-33 1 2 se- nior guard, earned the squad's Top Free Throw Percentage Award. The, N.C. native, finished the season hitting 82.6 percent (76 of 92) of his free throws.

ECU student Mike Conover faced this situa- tion and now is taking to the race track. The hard working Conover family is associated with the East Carolina Motor Speedway in Robersonville, NC, and this is Mike's rookie season behind the wheel in late model stock car rac- ing. His biggest accomplishment so far was placing first in just 1" is third start at the end of April. Conover attended the local D.H. Conley high school and af- ter not getting accepted to ECU the first time, he took on odd jobs for a few years to search his path in life. After that was unsuccessful a light went popped in his head and he de- cided to go back to school at Pitt Community College. Hecrack the books and made nothing but A's and received acceptance into ECU. He is currentlv a freshman and a major is still undecided, but a carreer in racing is his goal. While his family has only been in the business for three years, he has loved the sport as voung kid from New York. Now he lives in Greenville and he says he wouldn't live anywhere else Mike did not just jump into late model stockcar racing. In last year's division he raced cars similiar to go-carts and then dirt sprint cars. This was a jump from the lowest to highest form of rac- ing. Since he has graduated from Conley, he has not forgotten those roots. After himself and his family formed the Conover Motor Sports business they helped with the dropouts.

"A lot of these kids they don't feel like they are worth anything Conover said. "So if they get to rely on each other, that can be a difference. That's bascially all we can do. We teach them about racing, but we can't make them do these things. We get them excited about it.

By Brad Oldham Staff Writer After selecting ECU as a senior in high school, Kareem Richard- son was looked at by both coaches and fans as one of the brightest prospects that ECU basketball had seen in some time. Easily one of the top 150 players coming out of � high school, Rich- ardson was greeted by Green- ville with open arms. The 5'11 point guard from Rantoul, Illinois possessed the speed and court smarts to step in and make an im- m mediate impact in the CAA conference home she will have a better oppor- tunity. Pl,us Evansville has a real good program under head coach Jim Crews, and I just feel it will be a good situation for me Richardson wasted no time in establishing himself as a leader both on and off the court in his two years at ECU. He quickly found himself in the startingpoint guard i position, a File Photo Kareem 'Ice' Richardson's point guard position will possibly be filled by freshman, Jerod Cohen or sophomore, Skipp Schaefbauer. 66 Basically, the reason I transferred was I wanted my mom to be able to watch me play. Kareem Richardson Now after playing in just his second season at ECU, Richardson has decided to transfer to the University of Evans- ville, located in Evansville, Indi- ana. "Basically the reason I trans- ferred was I wanted my mom to be able to watch me play Richardson said. "My first two seasons here it was hard for her to travel and see me play. With me being closer to role that he excelled in for the Pi- rates, help- ing ECU win the CAA cham- pionship and landing a spot on the CAA All-Rookie HiHHM team his freshman year. His numbers were impres- sive, especially for a freshman. He averaged 7.1 points per game and was second on the squad in assists with 74, and third on the team in steals with 31. He aiso performed in the class room, maintaining the highest grade point average on the ball club. You might say that Richardson hit a "sophomore slump" last season. After sprain- ing his ankle in the season opener ag.inst UNC Charlotte, it seemed to take him awhile to get back on track again. The ankle problems continued throughout the season, including another sprain in the second half against George Mason in Feb which caused Richardson to sit out against American. He still displayed the type of game that drew fans out of their seats and coaches to drink, though. He put on a show in Richmond on Jan. 22, pouring in 17 points in 34 minutes in the 80- 72 losing effort. But the consis- tency game-in and game-out was lacking. It was obvious that he was putting all he had into the game, but more often than not he ended up trying to force things to happen. It seemed like he never really got set mentally into the type of style play he and everybody else around him knew he was capable. So just two years after his arrival, Richardson is departing for Evansville to play for coach Crews and the Aces. It's defi- nitely a loss for ECU and a sig- nificant gain for Evansville. For "Ice" Kareem Richardson was truly a class act, and will be a hard player for coach Eddie Payne to replace. Letches Cooke join the NFL (SID) � ECU football play- ers Morris Letcher and Jeff Cookee signed free agent con- tracts following the draft with teams in the NFL. Letcher, a 5-9, 165 pound wide receiver, signed with the Miami Dolphins, and Cooke, a 6- 1, 277 pound defensive tackle, inked with the New York Jets. Last season, Letcher caught 27 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns, playing in nine games. The Kansas City, Kan. na- tive, also returned 11 punts for a 5.3 yard average and 23 kick- offs for a 15.2 yard average. Cooke, a native of Sanford, N.C, recorded 90 tackles last sea- son, including nine behind the line of scrimmage for minus 29 yards. Cooke recovered one fumble and also forced a fumble. Cooke, an All-South Inde- pendent choice in 1993, rejoins Jet defensive line coach Larry Coyer, who served as East Carolina's defensive coordinator last season. Also former ECU quarterback Jeff Blake is with the Jets. File Photo Former ECU standout wide receiver Morris Letcher could possibly be turned into a special teams player for Don Shula's Miami Dolphins. The duo joins Bernard Carter and Carlester Crumpler as re- cent members of the NFL. Carter was a sixth round pick in the NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Crumpler was selected in the seventh round by the Seattle Seahawks. Bucs catch Kerner from Florida State By Aubrey Hoover The Daily Reflector Just when you thought East Carolina basketball coach Eddie Payne's recruiting sea- son was over � along comes Jonathan Kerner. Kerner, who spent the last two seasons playing sparingly at Florida State, said May 11 he plans to transfer to ECU for his final two years of eligibility. "I just got off the phone with them (ECU officials) to tell them I was coming Kerner said in a phone interview last Wednesday afternoon. "Once I decided to transfer and talked to Coach Payne a few times I had a feeling I'd end up there. And when I visited I knew it was a perfect fit ECU officials are prohib- ited from commenting on Kerner until the official trans- fei papers arrive in Green- ville � leaving questions about Kerner's scholarship sta- tus. ECU used its last scholar- ship to sign 6-1 point guard Damond Van Weerdhuizen last week. If Kerner is on scholarship one of two things is true � a current roster player is leav- ing the program or one of ECU's six previous signees is not coming. Kerner, a 6-11, 230-pound center out of Atlanta, averaged 2.5 points and 1.7 rebounds as a sophomore at Florida State. He started two games and played in 18 contests, averag- ing 9.9 minutes a game. Kerner averaged 11.8 min- utes in Atlantic Coast Confer- ence play, averaging 1.9 re- bounds and 2.0 points per game. NCAA rules mandate that Kerner must sit out his first year at ECU before being eli- gible for the 1995-6 season. "Playing time was a big reason I decided to leave but a lot of it was personal Kerner said. "I just felt like I could be happier and have a bigger im- pact somewhere else "Sitting out a year will be tough but I know it will help in the long run Kerner said. "It will give me time to refine my skills and concentrate on school Kerner narrowed his choices to ECU and CAA ri- val UNC-Wilmington. His de- cision was made easier when Seahawks' Head Coach Kevin Eastman left the school to take the head coaching position at Washington State. "It had a big influence on me Kerner said. "But I al- ways thought I'd go (to ECU). Coach Eastman leaving just made it an easier decision Kerner, who originally chose FSU over Wake Forest and Southern Methodist, was; guided to ECU by Seminoles coach Pat Kennedy and assis- tant coach Kenny Williamson. Kennedy knew Kerner was transferring but wasn't aware on May 11 the center decided on ECU. "They're good friends of ours Kennedy said. "A lot of those schools were calling and I think the world of Eddie and (ECU assistant) Joe (Doolev). They don't come any better than Eddie Payne and I'm glad he's in a place where I know he'll be happy "But tell Eddie to remem- See KERNER page 8 - .p rj- - , ii i'ii jiii i.i li M ; May 18. 1994 The East Carolinian 8 Pirates ink versatile freshman from Texas (SID)�Lawrence Thomas, a 6-5 forward guard from Dallas, Texas has signed a national ktter-of-intent . to play men's basketball at ECU, school officials announced April 27. Thomas comes to East Carolina from Pinkston High School in Dallas, where he played for coach Michael Cotton. "Lawrence brings a lot of versa- tility around the perimeter to our pro- gram, as an athlete, a passer and he understands the game real well said Pirate head coach Eddie Payne He is a fine person and will make an out- standing contribution to our pro- gram A four-year letterwinner, Tho- mas served as the Viking's' captain and was a first-team All District 12AAAA selection for the last two seasons. Last season, Thomas averaged 13.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 7 as- sists per game while shooting 77 percent from the floor. The Vikings finished the season254 and advanced to the area finals. As a junior in 1992-93, Thomas averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7assists per gamewhile hitting 72 percent of his field goals. The Vikings finished theseason24-6and advanced to the area finals. During his sophomore season, Thomas was named Newcomer of KERNER the Year in District 12AAAA and was a second team all-district selection. During summer league action in Dallas last year, Thomas was named his team's NfVP. He has also partici- pated in the Las Vegas International and Huntington Beach International all-star games. Thomas isalsoactiveinhisschool and community. He is Senior Class President, President of the Pinkston High School chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is a member of the National Honor Society, Pan Am Club, Spanish National Honor Soci- ety and the Literary Debate Club. Thomas, who turned 18onMarch 13, is the son of Susan King. Continued from page 7 Two essential ingredients for a perfect ber me when he (Kerner) starts to play because I did all the coaching Despite his lack of playing time, Kennedy thinks the time spent at FSU will be valuable to Kerner. In fact, Kennedy be- lieves the fact that Kerner is transferring shows a positive in the center's attitude. "When a youngster be- lieves he can contribute more than he is, I think that's good Kennedy said. "It shows that he wants to be out there and thinks that he should be out there.
