But someone has to do it. Dr. George Harrell, associ- ate vice chancellor for business affairs, and facilities services fac- ulty members arc spending the summer completing various projects to improve the looks and security of the campus. "We are working on the southside of Brewster, landscap- ing in front of the building Harrell said. Harrell said once completed later this month, the landscape will be similar to that near the music building. Some people may have no- ticed the street signs which have been placed around campus. Roadways through campus have been named Faculty Way and Alumni Circle. Harrell said the university funded the street sign project. Additionally, the workers are installing outdoor information boards around campus to provide visitors with maps and campus information. The boards will be located at the entrance to Jenkins Springer named N.Y. college president Jason Williams News Editor The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York (CUNY) named ViceChan- cellor for Academic Affairs at ECU Dr. Marlene Springer as President of The College of Staten Island. Springer will be- gin September 1. A specialist in nineteenth century British and American literature and women's litera- ture, Springer earned her Ph.D. in English Literature and her M.A. in American Literature at Indiana University. She re- ceived her bachelor's degree in English and business adminis- tration at Centre College in Ken- tucky. "Dr. Springer brings exten- sive administrative and aca- demic experience to the presi- dency of The College of Staten Island, as well as a particular background in enriching aca- demic programs and services said James P. Murphv, chair of the Board of Trustees. Springer has been Vice Chancellor since 1989. Prior to coming to ECU, she was Asso- ciate Vice Chancellor for Aca- demic Affairs and Graduate Studies at the University of Mis- souri-Kansas City in 1985, and earlier served there as Acting Associate Dean, Chair of the Department of English and as a member of the faculty from 1970. She was also chosen an American Council for Educa- tion Administrative Fellow in 1982, and served as Visiting Pro- fessor at the Universidade Fed- eral Fluminse, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1975. "I have enjoyed my work here at Last Carolina, but this gives me the opportunity to be the president of a fine univer- sity, and I'm looking forward to working there Springer said.

Some three vears after the Berlin Wall was razed, the Ger- man government is making an effort to educate our educators about the changes which have occurred in the former East Ger- many and West Germany. Dr. Michael Bassman, direc- tor of Ethnic Studies, was one of 20 professors who attended the eight-day intensive seminar en- titled "Germany Since Reunifica- tion: From Euphoria to Disillu- sion" and held in Berlin. Bassman, who teaches Lit- erature of the Holocaust, believes his students will benefit from his participation in the program. "Being able to share the in- formation of what is happening in Germany is very important Bassman said. "I was interested in knowing that the Holocaust is being taught in the schools in German v The seminar, sponsored bv the German government, was designed for foreign professors to visit Germany and see what has happened since reunification. "I heard about the program through an international organi- zation in New Yorkhe said. "We met in Berlin and staved in the former Fast Berlin Baseman said thegri nip vis- ited Wannsee, where the logistics of the Final Solution were deter- mined. A museum educating Ger- mans about the Holocaust is also located at Wannsee. "There is an attempt to deal with its (Germany's) past and to recognize the past Bassman said. The Holocaust was an at- tempt to exterminate the Jewish population of Europe. Si million Jews and five million non-Jews were killed. "It happened just 50 vears ago, and the world was silent and allowed this to go on he said. Students in Bassman's Lit- erature of the Holocaust class (ASES2001 or ASES2002-Honors Seminar) read novelsdealing with the Holocaust, some written by Holocaust survivors. Addition- allv, the students view documen- taries about Hitler, the Third Reich and the Holocaust in general. "As someone who teaches the Holocaust, it was interesting to be in Berlin and realize what had happened in the past Bassman said. The group of professors at- tend ing the seminar also met with Berlin Police Commissioners, rep- resentatives of different political parties and members ot Parlia- ment. Later, the group went to Poland to visit a new international university on the Poland and I ler- man border. The construction ot th�� university was a joint effort between the Polish and German governments to have an interna- tional universit Ironically, while meeting See BASSMAN page 2 For Your Information The Pitt County AIDS Service Organization (PICASO) will begin an information and referral line one evening a week starting Wednesday, July 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. A PICASO volunteer will provide basic HIVAIDS information and referrals to other community-based service agencies and state and national HIVAIDS organizations.

Russians teach during summer Wendy Rountree Staff Writer Visiting Russian professors Dr. Alexander Mechitov and Dr. Helen Moshkovich will be teach- ing ECU students more than the functions of bits anil b tes this summer. Mechitov and Moshkovich, who hail from Mos- cow, are currently teaching intro- ductory computer courses in the Decision Sciences department from a Russian perspective. Mechitov and Moshkovich, who majored in economics and minored in mathematics, were graduate students at Moscow In- ternational University. Mechitov is also associated with the Rus- sian Academy of Sciences for Fun- damental Research. Since being at ECU, the two instructors have noticed differ- ences between the American and Russian university systems. First, the organization of the s stem here is more flexible Moshkox u h �-aid Students i an r-nt ourses Mid change majors. In Russia, the student's course path is specia 1- ized from, the beginning and undergraduates take five vears, he said. "Students in Russiahave to choose their major and fol- low special sets of defined courses Mechitov said. Moshkovich said that dur- ing a student's first year, he or she is placed in a sma 11 group of 25 students who are on the same course path. The student stavs in this group throughout the five vears of undergraduate stud v. Moshkovich said because of economical Mid political changes occurring in Russia, the university systemnow gives the possibility to students to change, especially those in banking, economics, and engi- neering.

Clinton made his remarks during a May 20 ceremony celebrat- ing the school's 75th anniversary. The president was the recipi- ent of the UCLA Medal, the highest honor from the university. After expressing his appreciation and congratulations to the university, Clinton quickly turned his attention to the college students in the audience. The president reminded students that they were not the first generation to be labeled in such a negative light. Clinton went on to say that the very citizens described as "lost" were those who fought in World War II and helped lead the nation thereafter. The president closed his speech with a challenge to students. Fewer students are seeking degrees today For the first time in more than 12 years, the number of students seeking degrees has declined, according to The Col- lege Board's "Annual Survey of Colleges From the fall of 1991 to the fall of 1992, the average total enrollment decreased by 1.7 percent. The majority of the decrease was among part-time students, which fell by a little more than eight percent. Average enrollment declined by more than 11 percent at two-year insti- tutions and by slightly less than two percent at four-year insti- tutions. In addition, the survey also states that women continue to outnumber men at college, where 54 percent of all enrolled students are female and 46 percent are male. From the fall of 1991 to the fall 1992, minority enrollment increased by 1.2 percent, accounting for 19.9 percent of all first-time freshmen enrolled. A "smart" sprinkler Automatic sprinklers whirring through rainstorms may be a thing of the past, thanks to an invention by a team of Colorado State University students. The students have devel- oped what they call a "Smart Valve which can actually deter- mine whether a yard needs watering. The valve � a series of pistons, metering chambers, valves and hydraulic fluid�uses a porous ceramic wick to sense soil moisture levels and control when the yard is watered.

Although the Bible has been called the single most influential book in thehistory of Western culture,many academics say it seems to be unfa- miliar territory to more and more college students. "What some would consider basic elements of our culture, many students simply don't know said Benjamin Wright, assistant profes- sor of religion studies at Lehigh University. "While they may have heard of a reference, such as David and Goliath, in a non-contextual way, if you ask them to tell the story to you, they can't "Students are appallingly ig- norant of the Bible said Jay Hol- stein, the J.J. Mallon Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Iowa. Academics say an increas- ingly large number are lost when they encounter biblical references in their coursework and day-to-day life. Without a basic knowledge of the stories in the Old and New Tes- taments, students have a difficult time understanding literary illu- sions in Moby Dick and even lyrics in U2 songs. "For certain, without some training in what is called religious studies, students will have absolute gaps in their knowledge and aca- demic sense of literature, art and law in Western civilization Hol- stein said. "The biblical tradition is im- portant and essential to the devel- opment of Western culture said Michael Coogan, professor of reli- gious studies a t Stonehill College in Boston and co-editor of the Oxford Companion to the Bible. "You can't understand the various traditions of our society without some knowl- edge of the stories and history of the Bible English professors say they can no longer assume students will comprehend the nearly limitless number of religious allusions found in literature, including such classics as John Milton's Paradise Lost, Will- iam Faulkner's Absabm, Absalom the poems of T.S. Elliot or the works of Shakespeare. M. Katherine McGrory said she recently found that only half the students enrolled in her "Poetry in Drama" class at Georgetown Uni- versity said they had any familiar- ity with the Bible. "The class focused quite a bit on Yeats, who uses a lot of biblical imagery said McGrory, who is also executive director of the Soci- ety of Values in Higher Education, a non-sectarian, non-profit society of scholars in Washington. Most students' knowledge of the Bible before entering college is restricted to what they learned in the home, church, synagogue or in religious educationclasses,say edu- cators. McGrory also points out that today'sdiversestudentbodyiscom- posed of people from an array of religious backgrounds. "Thesacred text in many students' homes may have been the Koran she said. Meanwhile, 13.1 percent of all college freshmen last year listed their religious preferences as "none ac- cording to the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA. Still, the majority of all college freshmen, 82.2 percent, reported having attended religious services "frequently" or "occasionally" dur- ing the past year, the survey said. "A Gallup poll a few years backstatedthat90percentof Ameri- can households own a Bible Coogansaid. "Isuspectmostdonot read it, however. The problem is thatpeopietendtothink of the Bible exclusively as a religious text, and those who teach the Bible are under suspicion of proselytizing Nationwide, of the 2318 col- leges that offer a bachelor's degree or better, 25 percent of all public universities and 65 percent of all PROFESSORS private colleges haveprograms in; religion and theological studies, according to a survey by the American Academy of Religion in Atlanta. David Hoekema, academic dean at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich, said many colleges affiliated with religious institu- tions continue to offer courses that cover the Bible as part of the core requirements needed for gradua- tion. "But I wouldn't expect there- to be any consistent program or intention for public institutions to1 make a course on the Bible as part of core requirements he said. "That would raise red flags to many m. Instead, Hoekema said many colleagues are introducing sections of the Bible as part of the assigned reading in history or lit- erature classes, for example, to; provide students with the back- ground they'll need to further, understand the coursework. "I think the education is being done piece by piece within classes he said. Coogan said he doesn't agree with some of the hand- wringing that he sees among pro- fessors who say thelack of histori- cal and cultural knowledge among students impedes their ability to teach the classics. u" Continued from page 1 cnange was possible because of the appearance of the private sec- tor in connection with private uni- versities Mechitov said.

"They act much more respectful, distant Moshkovich said in Russia, professors are much more distant from students than in America, and they offer fewer office hours to their students because there is not a "tradition" of giving stu- dents extra time out of class peri- ods, except for special lectures given to answer students' ques- tions before final exams. She also said that in Russia, students are more oriented to their own work, while in America, professors have more control. Moshkovich said most of the time professors only give one test during the semester, the final exam. "Final exam is much more important in Russia Moshkovich said. "Students are usually given oral exams Mechitov said that students are given three days to study and to prepare for their exams. BASSMAN "They are expelled from the university if they don't pass the exam within three times Moshkovich said. Moshkovich and Mechitov said they had many reasons for coming to ECU. Mechitov said the idea is to build contacts between ECU fac- ulty and Moscow University fac- ulty to study each others' research and education processes, common research interests and publish ar- ticles. "Also, we want to create opportunities for faculty and stu- dent exchange between the two universities "We are interested in ex- change not only between the busi- ness schools, but in the other aca- demic areas too said Dr. Robert E.

The lectures are sponsored by the Deci- sion Sciences Department. In the first lecture, entitled Russian Scientific and Educational Systems Mechitov said he wants to "get ECU faculty members, who may visit Moscow University, ac- quainted withRussianeducation" "I will speak about how classes are organized, the relation- ship between teachers and stu- dents and outline the structure of research institutions in Russia Mechitov said.

"There seems to be a lot of nostalgia for the past he said. Bassman visited Humboldt University, located in the former East Berlin. Before fleeing Ger- many, Einstein taught at Humboldt. Before reunification, there were 4,000 faculty mem- bers at Humboldt. When Ger- many reunified, the university deposed 3,000 faculty members and hired new people. "All of this causes resent- ment Bassman said. Bassman mentioned visiting tine Topography of Terror, in Ber- lin, where the Gestapo Headquar- ters was once located.

World Cup mania strikes soccer hinterland I 3 World Cup Soccer swept into America last moYtth on a wave of media hype, and for once the final product may have matched its billing. By all accounts, the international soccer tournement has been a huge success thus far, and this success shows all signs of continuing. Unfortunately for American soccer fans, the U.S. team was eliminated from the World Cup by Brazil on Monday. Many had hoped for a "miracle on grass" to match the "miracle on ice" 1980 Olympic hockey team, believing that such an improbable American victory would ignite American interest in the game. Those who hoped for such an outcome suffer from a misunderstanding of such events. In the 14 since the Lake Placid Olympics, there has been no huge upsurge of interest in hockey in America. Moreover, the increase which has occurred owes more to skillful marketing by the NHL and the play of talented Canadians like Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretsky than any faded memories of past amature glories. American soccer aficionados hope that someday the game will be as wildly popular here at home as it is elsewhere. However, such fans miss several important considerations which determine any game's popularity. - In most other countries, there are far fewer team sports to compete with soccer's dominance. Furthermore, the game has through the years become deeply embedded in those cultures, in much the same fashion football, basketball and baseball are part of ours. Children who grow up playing a sport become the adult fanatics who pay huge sums of money to support their favorite team. � What's more, like many aspects of American culture, our sports, such as basketball, are gaining acceptance overseas much faster than the more international sports, like soccer or team handball, are gaining here. If soccer will ever be really popular here, the Federation Internationale de Football Associations (FIFA), its governing body, is going to have to make some changes to make the game more palatable to the average American. One idea would be to remove that silly offsides rule. This seems roughly equivialent to saying that a wide receiver on a football team cannot run past the defensive backs to catch a touchdown pass. Something else which would help would be to get more American commentators for the TV matches. Just hearing the British announcers saying things like, "Holland are grates on the nerves. The US. has much tobeproud of regarding this World Cup. Not only did the American side reach the second round for the first time in 64 years, it played one of the finest teams in the world nearly even. In fact, the American team might have been one of the most refreshing and intelligent teams in the tournament, bccr.u�e unlike many of the other teams (say, Colo abia), there was no obvious pressure to succeed. On a bigger level, the staging ot the tournamentitself hasbeena success, withpacked stadia to see all the matches. With the exception of the murder of a Colombian player, and a minor disturbance by Mexican fans, there have been no major outbreaks of fan violence as too often plagues the sport in Europe and South America. America has proven itself not the narrow, insulated nation it is often portrayed as, but a place which welcomes new ideas and innovations. By Patrick Hinson By Laura Wright Spousal abuse now seen as national epidemic Fourth feelings frequently ignored in daily life ' It seems like most of Greenville showed up to see the fireworks on the Town Common on Monday night, the Fourth of July, and I doubt any of them were disappointed. The fireworks show was outstanding, and I was pretty shocked to see how much carnival ahposphere Greenville actually shipped onto the Common. I was very impressed with the whole tHhg. It seemed to me like people ot all ages were having a good time, riding the rides, hanging out walking around or just watching ancl dancing to the music. It was good to see the people of a town come together like we did and get along, celebrating something that we should all, at least at one time or another in our lives, try to understand. I don't know what it was about the fireworks show that night, but for the first time in my life (and maybe I should be ashamed to say this) I watched a fireworks display on Independence Day and actually thought about what July 4th really means (or at least should mean) to me and many other people. I mean, if you can, just stop for a second and try to think about how lucky we are just to be able to celebrate something like this, celebrating the fact that we are free. We are a nation of people who come together one day a year and celebrate being free, yet we live and work and study together freely every day. In many places in the world the concept must seem as alien as Martians or black holes, yet we have grown so accustomed to it that we never even think about what it means, much less how much it has cost us. What does freedom mean? You've probably thought so little about it in your life that the thought wrestles with your patience and intelligence. You try to sum it up in one word, to toss it off as something given, something obvious, which I guess is what it mostly is, at least for our generation. But freedom is more than that, and, somewhere deep inside, you must know that it is too. I know I can't really understand freedom because I have never heard the sound of gunfire in my direction, or had to run for my life, or had to kill another person in the name of freedom. I have never left a part of me, an arm or a leg, in a foreign country, orbreathedmy lastbreath in a place far away from home and family on freedom's behalf. I have never feared for my life, and grown old too soon from that fear, nor fought a war I didn't believe in in the name of freedom. I have never spent a day in a Chinese prison, or in a Russian gulag, or ducking Serbian shells, or hiding for my life because I belong to a minority tribe, clan or group of people. I have never taken up arms and fought against what I felt was an unfair government in the name of freedom, as our great-great- grandfathers did, and so many others whom we will never know, who shed oceans of their blood on the very soil of this country that we take so much for granted, that we drive across and party on. I didn't fight for my life, my family and my beliefs against a tyrannical king, against unbelievable odds, like our forefathers chose to do, when the world was young, in the name of freedom. I, of course, have never been enslaved, nor had to fight and suffer for centuries for my rights as a human being, and as a citizen, as my African-American brothers and sisters have, and as the women of the United States have, and as many of them still do. I have never heard the sound of cannon fire, nor held a dying friend in my arms on a battlefield, nor lost a father, brother, or mother whose life was sacrificed in the name of freedom. I have never felt what it is like to be segregated, oppressed, imprisoned or murdered just for being different, for being the wrong color or of the wrong religion, as so many people have been and as they still are in many places. I have never known these things. I have never fought in anger over freedom. I have rarely even, in my entire life, ever discussed it that much with anyone else. I guess it was just always there. I was just always free, so I can never really know the feeling the way it probably should be felt. There's a lot to be thankful for, much more 1 guess than we can ever realize. However, if we can just try to realize it, attempt to imagine what freedom and independence actually mean to us, and what they have meant to us for such a short time now (just a little over two hundred years), and how hard 200 we've fought for it in that time, I think that will count for something. We may all come up with different versions or definitions of what freedom may mean, but in the end I think they will all boil down to the same thing, and when you think about it, it feels pretty good, doesn't it? Suddenly, the phones at battered women's shelters are ringing off of their hooks. Suddenly, men are asking for help, apparently just now realizing that beating women is uncool. Suddenly, every talk show, from Geraldo to Oprah, is featuring women who kill abusive husbands, husbands who are recovered wife beaters and women who were stalked by their husbands after they tried to leave. Thank you, O. J. It's as if there wasn't a problem until O. J. Simpson presented it to us. It's as if there wasn't a problem until he, a well-known football player, "fell from grace (I am so sick of hearing how he took this fictitious fall) and allegedly killed his wife. Now, to men, O. J. represents that which they least want to be, and to women, that which they've known all too well, for way too long. I don't want to dwell on the media circus that has become of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. I honestly thought that one article about the absurdity surrounding those crimes would be enough, but I have some more to say. After this article, I won't ever even mention O. J. Simpson again. I'll be happy if no one ever mentioned him again, and I am definitely ready to stop hearing how sad it is that this is happening to HIM. It is truly disgusting that it takes the implication of someone famous to wake up the American public to the reality of desperate issues. For example, Rock Hudson alerted us to the reality of AIDS. With his death, we became aware that a problem existed. But it really took Magic Johnson's admission of illness to make us feel at risk. Magic became some sort of hero, simply because he slept around. It is curious that our culture tends to view its athletes � particularly its male football and basketball players�as inherently good, incapable of the faults of other human beings. The same thing that was true for AIDS is true for spousal abuse. The statistics have been around, TV movies have been made about the subject, we had all heard about "battered wife syndrome before' Nicole Simpson was found dead last month. It didn't change anything thatother celebrities had been accused of beating the women in their lives � for example, Miles Davis, Ike Turner and Jackson Browne all come to mind � until a nationally known and respected football player is accused of murder. It sucks that such extreme circumstances are necessary to make us aware that women die every day at the hands of men who supposedly love them. It sucks that we place such irrational faith in men who have done nothing more than exhibit the ability to successfully score points in a game. I hope that things will get better as a result of the attention given to the fact that Nicole Simpson was a battered woman. I ' hope that maybe men will start to realize that abusing women is a much more serious offense that it has been perceived to be in the past. Women have been aware of this fact, and maybe now if O. J. is stigmatized with the label of wife beater, other men will work harder to avoid similar fates. It just simply is not enough for the victims to realize that spousal abuse is a horrible thing. It is more important that the abusers and those with the potential to be abusers (i.e. men in general) view abuse as socially unacceptable. It seems that if peer pressure can cause people to do bad things, thenit stands to reason that Ucankeep people from doing bad things as vfell. If men start to speak out on behalf of women, if men start to put pressure on other men to stop beating women, maybe our chances for survival will increase. I've said it before, and I'll say it again now, because it seems relevant: more women are abused on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year. I think it's about time we examine our idolization of the violent side of sports. I think it's past time for us to reevaluate our choices of heroes. By Jason Williams Criticism of fanatical religious right not bigotry Arkansans(Theseparticipantsare annoying man with funny hair, notactors;theyareactuallitigants who does sort of a religious talk who agreed) who level charge show on the Family Channel on Recently, there has beenmuch talk among political types about an anti-Christian bias in the popular media. I don't buy it, and I think I can present a pretty strong case against that argument. Before going any farther, however, I would like to say, for the record: With people like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Ankerberg (more on him later) representing religion to the public, I wouldn't blame folks for being turned off. President Clinton recently lashed out at his conservative critics, most notably the Reveraaaaand (say it like Rush Limbaugh pronounces Jesse Jackson's title) Jerry Falwell. Rep. Vic Fazio called Falwell and others like him "hatemongers Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders made a reference to "the un-Christian, religious right I say "Amen" to each of them for having the guts to stand up to the bullies. Falwell has a television show called the "Old Time Gospel Hour which airs several times a week on the Family Channel, and onother religious stations as well. From this "bully pulpit does he preach? Does he teach his interpretation of the Bible? No, of course not. He talks politics. Only there is no one to argue with him, no one to present the opposite view. And he sells videotapes. Not videotapes about how to be a good Christian, mind you. He sells tapes on which, appear ordinary after unsubstantiated charge, including murder, against the President. Curiously, Falwell defends the tapes on TV talk shows, but objects when someone says he himself accused Clinton of murder. Can you say "covering" your butt?' Robertson has an equally obnoxious show, broadcast four times daily where I live in Florida, but shown originally on the Family Channel, which Robertson partially owns. "The700Clubso named because he asks contributors to donate said amount annually, is not as offensive as Falwell's, in part because it doesn't purport to be an exclusively religious show, and also because they have decent special features and some fair reporting. Notice I said some fair reporting. With the exception of international events, reporters for "The 700 Club" give their stories an obvious conservative slant; watching solely this news, one would get the impression that the only things that happened in America were abortion protests. And Robertson, like Falwell, isn't afraid to get his digs in about the President, Democrat members of Congress and international figures who are not adherents to his philosophy. John Ankerberg is an Sundays at 11:30 p.m. He mostly stays out of politics, saving his venom for religions and denominations of Christianity that do not match his own. Lately he has been attacking Catholics for, well, not being Protestants, and he pretty much condemns them to hell for their Catholicism. In the past, his shows have assailed Jews, Moslems, Free Masons and the occult. I'd hate to see what he thinks of Unitarians. Of course, I know these buffoons don't speak for most Christians, nor most conservatives. In fact, many Christians and many conservatives distance themselves from these characters every chance they get. But, by that same token, the President and others ought to be able to call these people what they are � religious bigots � without being called anti- Christian. Now back to that media thing. Ever notice that all of these TV preachers, all of the conservative columnists, authors like Dan Quayle and William Bennet, Limbaugh and all the rest of the folks who complain about the liberal media � they're always on TV, on the radio or in the newspaper when they say it. And I'll bet not one of them has ever appeared on the "Old Time Agnostics Hour . �MM � MM "T� TheEastCarotinhm Page 4 Classifieds June 29, 1994 ROOMMATE WANTED 4 BLOCKS FROMCAMPUS:Own room for140.00 13 utilities.

By Warren Sumner Lifestyle Editor Lightning flashed. Guitars screamed. The earth moved. (Well, sort of.) What more could anyone ask for from a rock concert than was presented by the Allman Broth- ers last Friday at Walnut Creek? There was a festive atmo- sphere, beautiful weather, great sound and great music. The Broth- ers were smokin' and so was their audience, enjoying a sweaty, shin- ing day. The stench of barbecuing food and skin mixed with the crisp, sweet smell that filtered through the Raleigh air. (Gee I wonder what that was.) The Brothers were supported by two relatively new bands to the scene: Big Head Todd and the Mon- sters, and The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies. Bom bands did an admi- rable job opening the show, but it quickly became apparent that the majority of the Creek-goers had dome for rhp soundsof Greg Allman and the boys, who started their set around 8:00. The Allmans provided the crowd with all the hits they knew and loved, as well as the future classics off their new album Where It All Begins. Ripping through over three hours of music, the band in- termingled their old and new songs as to where anyone who wasn't familiar with their material wouldn't have known the differ- ence. Early in the show, the group performed "All Night Train "Soulshine" and "Sailing Across the Devil Sea" off their latest release, along with their classic standard "StatesboroBlues"and"BlueSky which was performed under fitting weather. Of course, the crowd cheered louder for the older favor- ites, but no one seemed to object to the new material. The Allmanscontinued in their more classic mode with "Seven Turns" and "Midnight Rider" be- fore cranking out their biggest hit from the new album, "No One to Run With as the Raleigh sun di- minished into the night. A slow, grooving version of "Jessica" was a highlight of the spectacular show that had the dancing crowd grind- ing up the turf on the Creek's lawn. The Allmans soon went into a twenty-minute version of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed All the players in the band had their chance to solo in this tune to the delight of lovers of music improvi- sation. After "Elizabeth Reed" the au- dience was ready to jam and the Brothers didn't let them down with a smoking version of "One Way Out The Brothers left the stage to thunderousapplause,but returned to pound out a couple of older fa- vorites to finish off the crowd. "Southbound" and "Whipping Post" provided an incredible en- core to the concert, until theCreek's See ALLMAN page 6 Speed lives up to hype as blockbuster By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The ultimate summer film has sped into Greenville in the form of a high octane, souped-up, marvel of a vehicle called Speed. Speed begins with a nail-biting elevator sequence thatwould serve as a finale in many inferior films. In Speed, former cinema tographer Jan DeBont orchestrates a thrilling scene in which an elevator is rigged to drop thirty-five floors unless the terrorist is paid three million dollars. DeBont directs his first feature with such aplomb that one would never know it washis first. DeBont cut his teeth as a cinema tographer for big-budget thrillers like Basic Instinct. He knows that a thriller like Speed needs to keep up the pace so that the audience does not get bored. He mainta ins the break- neck momentum from beginning to end such mat, true to its title, the film keeps moving. Keanu Reeves turns in his first certifiable starring performance as L.A.policeofficerJackTraven.Jack thwarts the terrorist (Dennis Hop- per, in a great over-the-top perfor- mance) in the beginning of Speed, which leads the terrorist to exact his revenge on Jack by placing a bomb on a bus that is set to ex- plode if the vehicle drops below 50 mph. Reeves imbues Jack with all the necessary charisma and cour- age to make him into a genuine hero yet also gives Jack enough human characteristics so that the audience knows that he is no su- perman. Reeves' acting is good, but Sandra Bullock's, an ECU gradu- ate, is great. Bullock shone lastyear in Stallone's Demolition Man and she glimmers in Speed. Bullock plays Annie, a passenger on the bus who is forced to take over the wheel when the driver gets shot. The warmth and humor she brings to the role gives the viewer wel- come relief from the crises occur- ring on screen. She sheepishly tells Jack that she needs to make a confession. She tells him that she has had her license suspended. When Jack asks why she coyly looks up and says: "Speeding Bullock serves as the perfect foil for Reeves and the two have many great moments together while speeding down the L.A. Freeway. By the end of the film the viewer cares about both these char- acters even without knowing any- thing of their personal life. The wit shown in Speed, as well as the exciting story, can be credited to one man, Graham Yost In a Hollywood world where mul- tiple screenwriters show up in the majority of credits (and some films, like The Flintstones, have as many as thirty-two writers) a single screen writing credit deserves ad- miration. Though Speed will never be mistaken for art, the finely tuned plot and the light dialogue make it a model for all action films. Speed is so good that it rivals last summer's The Fugitive, though the latter film delivers a more sat- isfying package upon repeated Creek crowd gets damp fillet of Phish CD Reviews CD Reviews viewings. (I confess to already hav- ing seen Speed twice since it opened three weeks ago.) Speed will leave you exhausted by its final reel. More action and thrillsarepackedwithinitstwohours than one could get in an entire day at King's Dominion. This roller coaster ride is guaranteed to thrill. I have even taken to telling friends thatlwill refund their money if theydonot like Speed, so sure am I of its appeal. Speed is one of those films that everyone can like, much likeTTie Fu- gitive There is mercifully little blood- shed and the language is fairly re- strained. With action, spills and a likable busload full of people on the vergeofdisasteronecannotgo wrong by going to see Speed. Speed is the epitome of a great summer film. It makes you want to cozy up with a big bucket of buttery popcorn�damn the cholesterol� and let your mind consume the equivalent of that popcorn. Useless mental calories never tasted so good On a scale of one to ten, Speed rates an eight. CD Reviews By Burt Aycock Staff Writer A couple of days before I left town to go to Phish's June 29 show, at Raleigh's Walnut Creek Amphitheatre, I dropped in a lo- cal record and tape store to pick up one of the band's five albums. I had been listening to Lawn Boy for several months and wanted a different dose of Phish's sound to prep me for the concert. While I was browsing through the CD section, I asked a friend of mine (who just hap- pened to be working behind the counter) to recommend another Phish album. As he was putting their latest release, Hoist, into the store's sound system for me to listen to, he said, "Some people say they're gonna replace the GratefuiDead. Butlthinkthey're better than that I think my friend, who prob- ably knows as much about re- cent music history as anyone in Greenville, was referring to the level of Phish's musicianship as compared to Garcia and his gang. A debatable topic, no doubt. What most people mean when they say, "PhishisthenextGrate- ful Dead is that they are draw- ing in the same tie-dyed crowd. When I got out of my truck in the rain-soaked Walnut Creek parking lot and started making my way to the amphitheatre, the rumors I'd been hearing about this change-of-the-guard were confirmed. Despite a steady rain, there were groups of Phishheads scat- tered among the cars. Some were merely standing in circles taking in whatever toxins they had pro- cured for the show. Others were skipping merrily through the mud puddles, humming indeci- pherable tunes. There were even several groups of vendors sell- ing large balloons filled with the ever popular giggle gas. Ah, to have a cerebral hemorrhage at a live show. Yes, they have definitely in- herited much of the same crowd that flocks around The Dead. But Phish has done something new with that acid rockcountry blues mixture. They've given it a more modern, tongue-in-cheek twist. It's a bouncy, funk-influ- enced sound that only gains strength in a live performance. The first discernable song as I made my way to the ticket gate was "Sample in a Jar the sev- enth track off of Hoist. The dis- tant lyrics "And I was foggy, rather groggy You helped me to my car" seemed oddly ap- propriate. Following a rain-soaked roar of approval, Phish broke into one of my favorite ditties off of their albumLonm Boy(You know, the one with the half- buried vacuum cleaner on the cover). "Bag it. Tag it Sell it to the butcher in the store ech- oed over the edge of the grassy stadium as I moved past sev- eral orange ponchos guarding the press gate. There was still a steady downpour when I finally found a vantage point in the back row of seats. A sort of Joe Walsh sounding tune with a hand clapping intro kept a carefree crowd on their naked toes. Phish then ripped through the gospel-influenced "Julius the first track on Hoist. The ma- jority of the songs that wrapped up the first set were from the album "Junta including the melodic "Silent in the Morn- ing the jazzy "David Bowie and the biologically-inspired "Golgi Apparatus I'd like to thank The Kind Sisters of Jarvis St. for taking time out from their rain danc- ing to share with me their vast knowledge of Phish song titles: Peace, Sisters. I sat on the outer fringe of the crowd during the break and munched on some Fritos VA smuggled past security. By the time Phish took the stage for their second set, the rain had stopped but the temperature had dropped a good ten de- grees. I stayed on my cement perch and watched the pass- ing Phishheads (or is it Phishtails?) for three or four more songs. A pre-pneumo- nia chill and that end-of-con- cert monotony told me it was time for departure. The next time you hear that Phish is in town (okay, we'll say Raleigh), shell out a little cash and get a dose of their sound. They're a band not with- out traceable influences. But that doesn't detract from what they do. It's how they inte- grate and modernize those in- fluences that sells the CDs and keeps the Phishtails coming back time after time. CD Reviews m s UH. . . no TUke Yonr MWortH A Try s Hignly Recommended 3Ds The Venus Trail M One of my favorite methods of reviewing music is comparing the band being reviewed o other, bet- ter-known bands. It's a good reviewer's trick, a sort of short-cut useful in writing about bands unfa- miliar to readers. It might be a little unfair, but it gives readers an im- mediate idea of what they're deal- ing with. So, when I was listening to The Venus Trail, the new release by vir- tual unknowns the 3Ds, I was natu- rally looking for comparisons. The problem, in this case, is pinning down any one band to compare them to. At turns, the 3Ds sound like any number of classic alterna- tive bands. For example, The Venus Traits opening track, "Hey Seuss with David Mitchell's screaming vocals and growly-guitars, could sit com- fortably on any Pixies album. Also inthePixiesveinis"GoldenGrove sung by the 3Ds' female vocalist DeniseRoughan, which soundslike one of Kim Deal's sweetly soothing Pixies tunes. But "Ice with a muddy, le- thargic beat and syrupy, grunge guitar work, might be a forgotten Dinosaur Jr. track from 1989, with Denise Roughan standing in for J Mascis. Even closer to Dinosaur Jrschurning sea-sick style is "Phila- delphia Rising sung by David Mitchell. And "The Venus Trail" itself, the album's title track, is a bone- nasty Sonic Youth style snarler .Tak- ing a less hectic page from the Sonic Youth playbook, The 3Ds also give us "Jane dr which features loads and loads of distortion. So, to say that The 3Ds wear their influences on their sleeves would be an understatement. But they don't simply copy their idols. In the more interesting tracks from The Venus Trail, the 3Ds mix and match their influences to good ef- fect. "CashNoneforinstance,stirs Dinosaur Jr. vocal syrup in with a Pixies guitar jangle for an odd ef- fect. The sound of thick, meander- ing vocals laid over a bouncy back beat is jarring, but not unpleasant. Even more jarring, but also more effective is "Man on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown On this one the 3Ds manage to marry Sonic Youth's snarl and slash to Dino- saur Jrs more laid-back sound. But what really makes the 3Ds shine is their ability to hide their influences and create a more origi- nal sound. On tracks like "The Youngand the Restless" and "Sum- mer Stone they give us some re- ally nice, distortion-heavy noise rock. Their influences are still sort of obvious, but they've finally cre- ated a style of their own. All in all, The Venus Trail is a nice little album. The 3Ds have the poten- tial to become a very good noise rock band, if they can only break further away from the bands they try to copy. While they can duplicate the Pixies' vocal balance, the' don't re- ally have that band's strange perver- sity. While they can also distort and moan like Dinosaur Jr they can't oopyJMascis'laid-back insanity. And playing in Sonic You th'snerve-rend- ing distorted noise style is fine, but if you can't duplicate their intellectual snarl, you're not going to get very far. The 3Ds need tofind their own voice, and their own style to become truly great Until they do, they'll just be above-average. Granted, thaf s not bad. But they could be more. � Mark Brett Staanice 21 Ways To Grow Following the 1 smash suc- cess other Motown-debut album.

Hailed as a cross between Bambi and Hamlet, this new film tells the tale of a baby lion named Simba who is one day destined tc rule the jungle like hisfather,KingMufasa.Unfortunatery for Simba Mufasa's brother Scar has his own plans to be king and to do so needs to kill both Simba and Mufasa. Simba is forced to leave to leave the jungle when he thinks that he has killed his father. Years later,the jungle in ruins under the rule of Scar, Simba returns to claim his throne. ' This simple tale is told with the usual Disney panache Colorful char- acters dominate the screen through- out 77k lion King. Zazu, a jungle bird, serves the role of sidekick to the king but then has a minor role once the story concentrates on Simba. Three hyenas add a dark humor to the film as mey try to kill Simba but can never quiet accomplish their task. A wart- hogand a weasel befriend Simba dur- ing his exile A female lion named Nak, a baboon who is a wizened viziOT,asweUasSirnba'smctherround out the cast of characters mTheLkm King. - One of the nice touches of The lion King is that the father's role is emphasized. Lately Disney has been paying homage to dads with the prc��nentrcJeoftheSultanin(4iMiffi , Belle's father in Beauty and the Beast, and King Triton in The Little Mermaid. King Mufasa is the most dominant dad to date. r As voiced by James Earl Jones, Mufasa's advice to Simba seem like universal truths. The booming bari- tone of Jones gives Mufasa a regal power. Some of the other voices in The UonKing indudeMatthewBroderick as the adult Simba, Nathan Lane as the weasel, Whoopi Goldberg as one of the hyenas, and Jeremy Irons as Scar. Irons givesScar a slick menacing style His voice drips with honey as he tries to set up Simba to be killed. TheLkmKing does well when it sticks to its simple story. But the film is a musical and the music is what sabotages theftlm. Tim Rice and Elton John are responsible for the songs in The Lion King and they make one sorely miss Howard Ashman who died several years ago. Ashman was responsible for the snappy, witty ryr- kscfTheLittkMermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and several songs in Alladdin The songs in TheLionKing lack snap and wit They help tell the story but they have little life on their own. They do not soar the way "Friend Like Me" or "Under the Sea" does. No song catches the interest of the viewer the way the opening song does in Beauty andtheBeast and Alladin. The only song still echoing in the viewer's ear upon leaving the theater may be "Hakunah Matatah a catch little number which means "don't worryThe rest of themusic will stay in the mind no longer than it takes to finish the song on screen. 77k LkmKingisnaka bad film but itlacks the spark of Disney's previous three films. My family ranked the last four films and the consensus was: 1. Beauty and the Baast(possibly the best ever) 2 The Little Mermaid 3. Alladdin 4. 77k Lion King For family entertainment no stu- dioisbetter than Disneybutnot every film can be a classic On a scale of one to ten, 77k Uon King rates a seven. Party, Party!

The team was a success against other North Carolina teams this year, particularly N. C. State, Duke and UNC-Charlotte. By Jeanette Roth Guest Writer Ail-American status is reserved for those who have reached the pin- nacle of skill development in a par- ticular sport. Michael Jordan, for example,isaclearpictureof athletic prowess in mid-air. Jay Keller, on the other hand, is the first North Carolinian to ever be selected as an All-American in rugby. A full-time undergraduate student at ECU, Keller is pursuing a double major in History and En- glish with no scholarship. "Jay combined the most of the best traits with an intense desire to do well said Larry Babbitt, ECU's Club Rugby ccach and adviser. Doing well is an understate- ment in the case of Keller. His list of awards began in the fall of 1993 when he was selected to represent ECU, the local Rugby Union and then the United States as a member of the USA Rugby East squad. In the spring of 1994, he was invited to the National Rugby Camp, at Annapolis, Md and flew to California to play as a member of the East Team against the "cream of the rugby crop" from around the nation. While there, Keller served as a reserve and starter against the U.S. Pacific squad, Canada, and the All-Military team. The Club Rugby team is cur- rently celebrating its 20th anniver- sary at ECU. Although seasons in the past have been marked by good and bad performances, the 1990'sha vebeenkind to the squad: For the last four years, ECUS rugby team has been crowned Union Champions. Considering, that the majority of team players had never played rugby before joining ECU, one irrefutable key to success has been the strength of ECU's team leaders. With several graduate students and three-to four faculty members at the fore- front teachingcoaching system has developed that should make any intercollegiate football pro- gram take notice. �,� The snow-balling success of-�� the 1994 team speaks for itself.

Many even arrived by game time, so fervent were they about Fernando Valenzuela's return, al- beit in a Phillies uniform. They not only rooted their former Cy Young Award winner to the mound that made him famous, but rose in applause as he struck out All-Star slugger Mike Piazza to end the first inning. "He played here for 100 years. The guy's a legend Piazza said later. "I would have cheered him, too But not even the rare support of the sellout road crowd could help Valenzuela overcome the Phillies' moribund bats and defense in a 3-1 loss, his first ever to the Dodgers. "What can I say? We lost the game said Valenzuela, shrugging off the emotion of his homecoming. "I'd rather pitch bad and win the game Valenzuela did his part, keep- ing the Dodgers' big hitters off bal- ance, scattering six hits in as many innings, walking none. He also smacked the first of four Phillies hits off Orel Hershiser, another former Cy Young winner, who pitched seven innings for liis fifth win this season. All i t took to dampen the drama of their pitching duel, however, was a couple of catchable second-inning Texas League popups that found the short outfield grass. After Tim Wallach doubled to start the inning, Raul Mondesi hit the first ppp to right field. Tony Longmire hroko late on it and missed it by inches. Mondesi got a double on it, but Wallach held at third thinking the ball would be caught. Next up, Cory Snyder hit the same ball, but higher, over short- stop. For some reason, no Phillie got near that, as it landed alone, equi- distant from left fielder Pete Incaviglia, shortstop Kevin Stacker and center fielder Milt Thompson. "I thought both balls should have been caught manager Jim Fregosi said. "I don't think Fernando should have given up a run Wallach came in on the sec ond blooper then Rafael Boumigal.� dropped a nice squeeze bunt tSl score Mondesi.

Playing for the first time since sigrungwithSanFranciscoonJune 19, Strawberry batted third and was in right field for the Giants' top farm team. He singled sharply in the first inning and hit a solo homer estimated at 410 feet in the third against Vancouver. Pitcher Keith Morrison got some revenge in the fourth inning, striking out a swinging Strawberry with a 3-2 breaking balL Inttetopcrfttetrurd,Strawberry had his first fielding opportunity.

Continued from page 8 The Phils put their lone run up rn the sixth, when Thompson talked, took two bases on a steal and a throwing error by Piazza, and scored on a grounder to first by Morandini. A golden opportunity to win it for Valenzuela was squandered in the seventh. Hershiser, who was tiring visibly,allowedaleadoffwalk to Kim Batiste and then gave up a chopped single to Longmire, who took second on a wide throw to third by Mondesi in right. With the lead run on second, however, catcher Mike Lieberthal popped out to short center field. After Stacker walked to load the bases, Jim Eisenreich, pinch-hitting for Valenzuela, grounded into a double play to shortstop. "The seventh inning was the difference Valenzuela said, "but giver credit to Orel. He pitched pretty good No Phillie got past first base after that as Todd Worrell pitched two innings of hitless relief, and besides, Brett Butler scored an in- surance run for L.A. in the eighth. If the younger Phillies thought this game was anythingspecial, they didn't have the wherewithal to do anything about it. They looked kind of listless throughout. But the Dodgers and their fans will no doubt remember this one better. Some fans started the ova- tions as the former Dodgers ace waddled to and from his warm-ups in the Phillies bullpen. "All I try to do is keep it close and give the team a chance to win Valenzuela said. "I think I did that this afternoon Valenzuela's appearance meantnearly 20,000 additional fans.

They left behind them enough grit, enough glory and video high- lights to fire up the imagination of a country that only a month ago ranked the world's most popular game just behind log-rolling as a spectator sport. There was Thomas Dooley, the German-born midfielder whose G.I. father left the family behind a year after his birth, orchestrating the U.S. attack one moment and the next, sweeping a certain Brazilian score away from the U.S. net with a bril- liantly executed back-kick. There was Lalas, short on skill but long on toughness and guile, scrambling all afternoon to stay in front of the nimble Brazilian for- ward tandem of Romario and Bebeto�and knocking them down on those occasions when he Continued from page 7 couldn't. There was Jones spreading the defense with fast-forward runs down the flanks. And any random sampling of the U.S. jerseys being worn by fans in the stands suggested just about everybody on the roster had managed to catch someone's fancy during the two weeks of the tour- nament. In the end, unfortunately, that was hardly enough to stop mighty Brazil. The Americans were outshot 16-4, outmaneuvered at almost every turn, and as the game drew on, even outhustled for loose balls. "We put up a fight and we put on a show this whole competi- tion said Roy Wegerle, the South- African bom and English League striker who came to play for America because he found a bride from Florida. "We've beaten teams people we didn't think we'd beat and we may have pulled off an upset to- day, but we weren't good enough.

Whether Milutinovic winds up as coach of that squad, or whoever it is, he will have to cobble together a Lineup in much the same way this team was put together. He will have to sift through the collegiate ranks for the tough, promising kids, con- vince a handful of expatriates from the far-flung professional leagues of other countries to come home, and perhaps find the occasional gem, like Wegerle and Dooley, with enough American in their background to satisfy the folks at immigration. But there is the sense already that all these things will be easier then. The sense that more and bet- ter American athletes will stick with soccer longer; that more and better American players will have world-classexperiencetodrawon; even that some of the players with those credentials will suddenly look hard to find an American perched in the family tree.
