Today Tomorrow ani i The East Carolinian Vol. 69 No. 3?-r tO Circulation 5,000 Greenville, North Carolina Wednesday, July 20,1994 8 Pages Political science prof, named Vice Chancellor By Stephanie Lassiter Assistant News Editor The political science depart- ment is soon to be without one of their"star" professors, Dr.Tinsley Eugene Yarbrough. Yarbrough will temporarily fill the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs, previously held by Marlene Springer. Springer re- cently was selected as president of the College of Sta ten Island. "He is an excellent choice, and he is going to do a superb job as vice chancellor, but we will misshim in the department said David P. Conradt, chair of the political science department. Conradt -aid Yarbrough is con- sidered to be a "star" member of the faculty of the political science department. Yarbrough who teaches two sections of the introductory American govemmentcourse and one advanced political science course each semester, will not teach in the upcoming academic year, but will return to the class- room after a person is selected to serve permanently as vice chan- cellor for academic affairs. Yarbrough said he and Chancel- lor Eakin mutually decided he would not be considered for the permanent position. "I will be holding the posi- tion until the permanent person is selected Yarbrough said. "I as- sume that will be sometime next summer Yarbrough has already started familiarizinghimself with his new position, but he does not officially begin for several more weeks. "In an informal way, I am trying to get my bearings, but I will officially begin on August 1 he said. Yarbrough is also consid- ered a "star" among his pupils. "He makes students real'y think about the subject by stimu- lating class discussion said Maureen Rich, a former student. "He combines a great sense of humor with his incredibly vast knowledge of the subject. I wish ECU had many more professors like Yarbrough, and I hope this doesn't mean he will stop teach- ing because students will missout on a lot Yarbrough's classes will be taught by a fixed-term faculty' member, one who is hired tempo- rarily. "I've had the privilege of knowing him ever since he came to Greenville, around 1967,1968 said Herb Carlton, retired politi- cal science professor. "In fact, we shared an office together a long time when he first started Carlton, like Yarbrough's former students, praised Yarbrough'sacademiccredibiliry. "He isa fantastic professor he said. "He has won all the acco- lades for his teaching and his scholarship. He has had several publicationsthathave won praise, and he has also been recognized by the American Bar Association "I am delighted that Gene Yarbrough has accepted this ap- pointment said Chancellor Ri- chard Eakin. "He represents the finest in teaching, research and service at East Carolina. He has served the university admirably in a n umber of roles for more than a quarter of a century, and I am confident that he will bring a very high level of leadership to this critical position In hisspare time, Yarbrough enjoys collecting B-grade westerns and serials of the Saturday mati- nee era. Yarbrough became inter- ested in westerns when he was a child and attended the cliff-hanger type series of movies, where the end of the clip had the hero or heroine in a life-threatening situation. Sequels followed on the following Saturday. Yarbrough holds a bachelor's, a master's and a doc- tora 1 d egree from the Universi ty of Alabama. He has been an ECU faculty member since 1967. His books have been recognized by variousorganizations, including the American Bar Association which awarded him the Silver Gavel Award. Harlan 1: udkuil Enigma, his sixth book, is now in production at Oxford Univer- sity Press. "I appreciate Dr. Eakin's confidence in me, and I will give it my best shot and hope I can do my best job Yarbrough said. N.C. legislature gives ECU funds By Jason Williams News Editor While many people com- plained aboutthe length of the General Assembly's recent short session, legislators were good to ECU. The medical school will receive $4.8 million to expand its Life Sciences Building and another $5 mil- lion in Medicaid reimburse- ments. The $4.8 million appro- priation is part of a renovation project that will cost a total of $123 million, said Tom Former, directorof medical centernews and information. He expects the General Assembly to give ECU the remainder of the fund- ing when it meets in the fall. "We are particularly de- lighted with the $4.8 million for the Life Sciences Building Former said. "We felt like our chances had become poor to receive any money this year. We had just about written that off The money will be used to increase the 15,000 square- foot building to 75,000 square feet. It will be used primarily for research, especially cardio- vascular research, Fortnersaid. "We've been short of re- search space at the medical school he said. 'This will al- low us to consolidate research space that has been going on in various nooks and crannies in the building and in Brody The second part of the appropriation consisted of $5,054,000 to recover Med ica id expenditures. This money will be used for several projects. "This is something we expected to receive Former said. "It is money we earn when our physicians see Medicaid patientsand we a re reimbursed for that. The money goes back to Raleigh and we have to ap- ply for it for special projects He said the money will be See FUNDS page 2 Public Safety official appointed By Teri Howell Photo by Leslie Petty John Taylor, deputy police chief in Washington, N.C, was named assistant director of ECU'S Public Safety.

This unlikely scenario may sound like the stuff of academic nightmares, but it is wide-awake reality for more than half the students who took the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) at the University of California- Davis on April 23. Fifty-seven students who took the test at UC Davis have received a letter from the MCAT Program Office in Iowa City, Iowa, stating that parts of their tests have been lost. The machine-scorable section of the MCAT, which isa prerequi- site for admission to medical school, was missing when MCAT officials received the tests from the University of California- Davis testing site. In the letter, students were told they could retake the test in June or August, when the MCAT is given across the nation. If students chose not to retake the test, they would be refunded the 150 dollar testing fee. The first retesting date presented problems for most UC-Davis students because it fell at the end of finals week, giving students little time to study. For some, the later testing date could hinder their chances getting into the medical school of their choice, since most have a rolling admissions system which favors students who turn in early applications. Cool as ice Summers in southern Florida can be downright hot, but a sophisticated throwback to the ice age is helping a University of Miami college stay comfortably cool. The UM'sRosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key has begun conditioning the air of 11 of its 13 buildings with a new approach to the old ice method. Early in tins century, ammonia was used as a refrigerant to make ice, and air conditioning was accom- plished by blowing air over the ice, thereby cooling the air. This ice method was replaced long ago by methods that used environ- mentally hazardous CFCs as refrigerants. Now UM has returned to ammonia-made ice to cool air. The new system includes three 200-ton compressors that freeze 20,000 gallors of water each night when energy costs are low. The ice is stored in three tanks then is used for cooling during the day when electricity rates are at their peak. Ammonia has a zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential. It also is cheap to use � 27 cents per pound, compared with six to seven dollars per pound for CFC replacements. Compiled by Stephanie Lassiter. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. (CPS) He says he is the vic- tim. She says that she is. She says after a night of so- cializing at a Valparaiso Univer- sity fraternity party, she was raped by a student she had known since high school and thought was a friend. He says the sex was consentual and that his accuser never once said no or tried to stop his advances. The young woman, a junior at the time, reported the alleged rape to administratorsat the small Indiana college, who then called for a disciplinary hearing against the accused student. Found guilty of rape by the disciplinary panel and expelled from the university, the accused student took legal action against the school, suing for $12 million in damages. In his lawsuit, the Valparaiso student is claiming he was wrongfully suspended, de- famed and deprived of his rights during the college's judicial pro- ceedings. The Valparaiso University case illustrates the difficulty that many university administrators now face in handling reports of date rape. In an effort to be more responsive to the rights of vic- tims of sexual assault, many col- leges have instituted more "vic- tim-friendly" disciplinary mea- sures. But, in several cases, the ac- cused are fighting back, saying that these hearings violate their due process rights. In addition to the Valparaiso University case, undergraduates from Kansas State University, the University of California-Santa Cruz and Yale University have taken legal ac- tion against their schools. This backlash of multimillion-dollar lawsuits is causing some univer- sity administrators to rethink their policies on punishment of sexual crimes.

"Rape was still something done by strangers in the dark she said. "People began to realize that wasn't the case. There were women who had been raped, and they wanted their university to do something about it What resulted on many campuses were d isciplinary pan- els that usually involve a jury of college administrators, students or both. While campus judicial policies vary from school to school, most colleges use expul- sion, suspension or community service as a form of punishment. Attorney John Bushemi, who is representing the accused Valparaiso student and his par- ents, says that campus policies on sexual assault must be impartial. "I fully support the idea that an institution take an aggressive stanceagainst rape he said, "but if they are going to do it, then it's absolutely essential that the pro- cess is fair because there is so much at stake for the individual Bushemi thinks that the de- cision reached by the panel was unjust because witnesses on his client's behal f weren't allowed to testify. "While the disciplinary review panel heard the complain- ant, her witnesses, and my client, there were five material eye-wit- nesses for my client who were not allowed to speak Bushemi said. "The refusal to hear them makes the entire outcome not only unfair, but also illegal The National Association of College and University Attorneys (N ACU A) has published a model for disciplinary hearings dealing with sexual assaults.

"Universities have to follow the federal guide- lines That means university judi- cial proceedings must do a bal- ancing act, preserving the rights of the accused while also protect- ing the victim. Officials at the University of California-Santa Cruz know first- hand how difficult this can be. Not only was the university slapped with a violation notice by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights this spring for failing to properly respond to female students' com- plaints of sexual assault, but two male studentsaccused of rape filed a $45 million lawsuit against the school. The men claim their rights were violated during on-campus disciplinary hearings. The cases involved eight fe- male students, who filed various charges of rape, sexual assault and harassment against four male stu- dents for incidents that took place from December 1992 to January 1993. During university disciplin- ary hearings, the male students were found guilty of the charges and expelled. However, no men- tion of why the students were kicked out of school was made on their permanent records, giving these students the opportunity to re-apply to other colleges. Meanwhile, two of the male shidents who were expelled filed the lawsuit, which questions the legality of the hearings and ac- cuses the school of discriminating against the students because they are Hispanic. With so much at stake, why don't universities allow accusa- tions of date rape to be decided by the criminal justice system? The answers are varied. For the victims of date rape, univer- sity judicial systems are quicker and often less intimidating than the criminal justice system. While a ruling can take months within the criminal system, a decision from a disciplinary committee can be handed down in a matter of days. "In the criminal justice sys- tem, victims have very few rights said Sandier. "In con- trast, campus hearings are usu- ally victim-friendly. One of the reasons women -vho are raped sometimes won't go to the crimi- nal courts is because they know it takes a long time for any type of justice. They want the offender out of their space as soon as pos- sible Becausedaterapeisacrime where parties know each other before the attack, and there is often little evidence, prosecutors are sometimes hesitant to press charges. For universities, decid- ing the guilt or innocence of the accused often comes down to a question of who is a more cred- ible witness. "The public perception about campus date rape is of what happens in the criminal courts Burling said. "In col- lege, you can say 'It's not so dear, but I think something did hap- pen They expect a guy who is accused of rape to get sent to the slammer, but some colleges are just saying they're not so sure about a certain case, and getting someone off campus is often the safest, quickest way to solve the problem However, some say there is a danger that campus judicial proceedings may not only be unfair to the accused student, but to the alleged rape victim as well. "Any negotiations should involvethevictim said Sandier. "Getting someone out of the school doesn't solve the prob- lem for the victim or for the rest of the campus Sandier also said that uni- versities may soon find them- selves financially liable if an ex- pelled rapist, who has no indica- tion of punishmentonhis record, commits a sexual assault on an- other campus.

Typesetter Deborah Danie , secretary Without a doubt, every one of us has been to Raleigh via U.S. 264. Just as assuredly, everyone has traveled on the Interstate Highway system sometime in the past seven years or so. While doing so recently, we have noticed something that has probably been noticed by everyone at one point or another. Is there any real difference between Highway 264 and any interstate highway you can name? Take 1-40 as a close and convenient example. The lanes are just as wide, the curves just as gentle, and, in fact, there is a lot less traffic on 264 than there ever is on 1-40 between Greensboro and Durham. Yet the speed limit in places on 1-40 is 65 miles per hour, while on U.S. 264 the limit is 55 miles per hour. There has been a lot of talk in the news lately about individual states protesting the federal government's imposition of unfunded mandates upon the states. A good example of this is California.The state is upset that Washington has forced it to give welfare to illegal immigrants while at the same time not providing any money to pay for these benefits. In a similar vein, the problem with the speed limit is created by the imposition of the federal government in what all but the most statist believe should be a local affair. The 55 miles per hour speed limit was instituted by the federal government in the early 1970s as a measure to conserve fuel during the Arab oil embargo. At the time, no one made any pretense that the purpose was to save lives. Prior to the law, the speed limit, even on many, small, two-lane country roads was 70 mil ?s per hour. About seven years ago, after many years of public dissatisfaction, Congress passed the current law, which allows states to raise the limit to 65, though only on interstate, and only in areas with a low population density. In theory, states could still raise the limit on other roads, but only at the risk of losing federal highway funds. This setting of one or two federal speed limits is both illogical and unfair. Such laws would be much better set by local representatives, who are much more easily accessible to those immediately affected by the law. No one has ever seriously suggested that Congress should decide other local traffic laws. Indeed, states routinely handle traffic laws much more important to public safety. Moreover, this law is quite possibly unconstitutional. The 10th amendment reserves to the states all powers not specifically granted to the federal government. These granted powers are specifically spelled out, and traffic law is not one of them. We are not blind adherents to the theory of states' rights. Many times in U.S. history, like in the civil rights movement, federal intervention was needed to protect the rights of citizens which states were abusing. However, in this case, it is the federal government which is trampling on citizens' rights. In a country the size of ours, to suggest that one speed limit fits all is ridiculous. By Laura Wright Reproductive freedoms ignored and endangered Birth control, in some form or other, has been around for a long time. It seems that soon after people realized where babies came from, as soon as they understood the process by which children were conceived, they began to formulate ways to have sex without reproducing. Some of the things that they came up with were definitely interesting, if not dangerous. For example, prior to the 20thcentury, several methods for preventing conception included inserting a large piece of coin currency into the vagina. The coin, if the woman was lucky, served as a crude During a time when women have more freedom than we' ve ever had before , it seems absurd that our reproductive freedom, or lack of it, is as Jfiffiaj; questionable as ever. placing pebbles in the uterus�don'task me who figured this one out � had the same effect as a modem day IUD. A sheep's bladder, placed correctly, served as a type of condom. Furthermore, if these methods failed, herbalists often knew how to make purgatives that would cause the woman's body to expel the fetus before she carried it to term. Sex with such primitive forms of contraception was risky, and the contraception probably very ineffective. Most birth control options were only open to wealthy women, and abortive measures posed health risks, but, as they say, necessity is the mother (and in this case, father) of invention. Thank goodness we live in the enlightened 20th century, you say. Thank goodness we have advanced beyond those barbaric birth control methods. Thank goodness that our contraceptives are safe and inexpensive. All hail to technology, right? Well, not really. It would seem that one of the greatest assets to women's equality over the past century has been the availability of effective birth control. And to some degree, ��nmtmm modern birth control methods, especially the pill, have allowed women to decide whether or not they want to have children and when they want to have them. Legalized abortion has given women the choice of continuing pregnancy or terminating it. Hurrah for reproductive freedom. But we aren't really all that free. Not too much has changed since the days when women risked their health in the hopes that they would be able to have sex without having children. In an age where computer technology makes itself obsolete in less than five years, where we can now produce tasty tomatoes with fish DNA, birth control, with the exception of RU486 (which may never make it to America) and Norplant, seems to have advanced no further than 1960. And as for Norplant, if s back to the drawing board, folks. Norplan i passed the Food and Drug Administration's standards in 1990 and now about a million women use it Norplant consists of sue rods that are implanted into a woman's arm and these rods release hormones that prevent conception for about five years. Norplant sounded great. In fact, legislators in 20 states have proposed welfare benefits for mothers who use the implants. Several judges ordered abusive mothers to have the implants in order toobtainprobation. In spite of the fact that we live in an overpopulated society, legislating reproduction is a frightening prospect. When legislators decide who can have children and who can't, new forms of racism and classism � not to mention old forms of sexism � arise. Poor, black women are victimized when "reproductive freedom" becomes reproductive imprisonment. Now things have gone downhill for Wyeth-Ayerst, Norplant's manufacturer, as complaints of heart attacks and strokes associated with thedevices surface. Also, removing the implants has caused extensive scarring and permanent nerve damage. According to an article in the July 15, 1994, issue of USA Today, 500 women have sued and 50,000 more are expected to follow their lead. We need to examine, very dosely, why certain drugs make it past the FDA when they cause such serious health problems. We need toexamine why birth control is,as it always has been, women's responsibility and women's risk. During a time when women have more freedom than we've ever had before (or so I'm told), it seems absurd that our reproductive freedom, or lack of it, is as questionable as ever.

THERE, IN THE HAT HIM.THAT LAiv- LOOKIN'ONE x m S8 NOT J GETTirV' r�mm A JOB Let states make speed limit choices! By Patrick Hinson Beach is brief respite from dreariness of life I guess almost everyone here goes to Atlantic Beach whenever possible. That's where I go, although I really prefer Cape Hatteras, or even Ocean Isle or Emerald Isle, but Atlantic Beach is the closest one,so that seems to be where the majority of us go. Sometimes the beach isn't even where we want to go. We just want to get out of town, and the beach becomes an end in itself, a mission. It kind of makes me mad when I'm driving out there and every other car is a load of idiot high school rednecks, flying by me at 95 miles an hour in their low-rider Trans-Ams, but I suppose I can deal with that if it means I'm leaving Greenville, if only for a few hours of freedom from the "Emerald City" (and by the way, who thought up that stupid name?). As I said, though, the beach becomes an end in itself. There's nothing to do here in Greenville. There are no natural landmarks, no hills, no forests to explore, no interesting shops, malls or places to go. Oh, yeah, the Tar River. Whoopee. The malls here are a sad testament to the character of mis city. Boring. Greenville is boring, real boring. Once you get over the El bo and every other bar in the city, you realize that's about all there is to see here. No wonder there's so many bars in this small area. We're supposed to get drunk and forget about it. At least we've got some kind of escape hatch with the beach. You'd better take it too, because that's all there is, unless you want to head west or north to the mountains, which is a real escape, but will costyou a good bit more. Now, if the mountains were only two hours to the west, I'd quit complaining. The last time I was at Atlantic Beach, I realized two things that I didn't like. One was that there's practically no public access to the beach there, unless you want to go to the cheesiest, rattiest section of it (which is obviously where the Atlantic Beach commerce wants us to go); the section right in front of the pavilions. I hate pavilions. There's just nothing like having a bunch of marines in speedos blatantly checking out the girl you're with all day, which is what it's like there. I go further south, and keep going until I find another access, which is a long way, about a half- hour more. There's only that one other access to the south in that half-hour drive, although there's more than enough space for there to be several. Public accessesdon't take up a lot of space. I'm all for the preservation of wildlife and wild areas, but when huge amounts of people are pouring in toa small amountof land, they're going to find ways to the beach one way or the other. Providing morepublicparkingwould benefit both parties. Another thing I noticed at Atlantic Beach was that there are no garbage cans on the beach. These are usually those heavy, steel barrels that are placed near the d unes. We've got garbage cans on my beachathome, spaced about a block apart, and they're there for a very good reason. When most people come to the beach, if they don't see any place to put their trash, they're going to just leave it there. Oh brilliant, it'll just wash away, right? When I walk down the beach at Atlantic, there is usually trash spaced along the water line, as far as I care to walk. I always end up picking up trash on the beach as I go, just because I know I'd be doing it if I was at home, and in a way, I guess, Atlantic is mine too, as much as it is anyone else's. People leave their potato chip bags, their cans, ice bags, beer bottles, used sun tan lotion bottles and diapers. God, how I hate to see dirty diapers lying on the beach. How inconsiderate! It doesn't take that much to bring that stuff back with you. How can we just leave it out there, to wash out into the ocean and then into the marshlands that clean the beaches? People, take your trash home with you, despite how drunk you may be by that time, or at lea st to the nearest trash can, when you go to the beach. Mother Nature will be damned proud of you. By Jason Williams Israel still unjust in its treatment of Palestinians If ever a people were mistreated throughout recent history, it is the Palestinians. And while the new "peace" with Israel is a step in the right direction, its terms show the unfairness of the relationship between the two parties. From the beginning of the la te 1800s, Zionist, or Jewish nationalist, claims to the land of Palestine were illegitimate. The Zionists based their claims on historical possession of the land, dating back to biblical times. The problem with that is they hadn't lived in those lands for nearly 2,000 years, not since the Diaspora, or dispersal of the Jews by the Roman empire. Furthermore, the Zionists claimed they only wanted a sparsely populated desert land and, to garner European support, said they would bring civilization to the Middle East. This attitude was both incorrect and blatantly racist: 690,000 people, mostly Arab Moslems, lived in Palestine in 1914, while people of Jewish descent made up only 11 percent of the total population. Because eastern Europeans were essentially racist as well, against both Arabs and Jews, they were eager to support a Jewish state no matter where it happened to be located, Arab Moslems be damned. Following WWII, the Holocaust in Germany and pogroms against Jews in Russia and elsewhere, the United States and others facilitated the creation of Israel in 194ft Evenatthattime,Jewsdidnot make up the majority in Palestine, and their claims to the land were barely more legitimate. It was as wrong to take Palestinian land then as it is for Palestinians to demand the extinction of theentire state of Israel now. Immediately after the partition of the land into Jewish and Palestinian states, Israel and Jordan seized the Palestinian land and split it between them, leaving the Arab population no place to go. Palestinians eventually settled in Jordan, Lebanon, southern Syria and northern Egypt, with approximately 150,000 (from a total of about 900,000) remaining in their "homeland" of Israel. In the 1967 war with Jordan and Egypt, the Israelis seized the West Bank from Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, thus forcing Palestinian refugees farther away from the Jewish state. In both 1948 and l7theUnitedNations,backed half-heartedly by the United States, called on Israel to return the ill-gotten land. Both times, with the exception of the Sinai, the world community allowed Israel to keep it. For years Israel refused to negotiate with the Palestinians becauseitregarded the Yassir Arafat and the PLO as terrorists. (An interesting point to consider: In the 1930sGreat Britain considered future prime minister Yitzhak Shamir's Stern Gang a terrorist organization, and had a price on the head of future Nobel Peace Prize recipient Menachem Begin.) Thanks to a more open-minded government led by a hero of the 1967 war, Yitzhak Rabin, Israel began to take its place at the peace table. So far, Rabin has granted the Palestinians someautonomyinthe Gaza Strip and the West Bank city of Jericho, but even this small step has not been entirely sincere. Just last week, Rabin's defense minister ordered the border between Gaza and Egypt closed to Palestinians, effectively making them prisoners in their own "autonomous" region of the state. Justice in the Middle East Will not be served until Israel renounces all claims on the land taken in the 1967 war. The nation could have long ago made peace with Syria by returning the Golan, and with Jordan and the Palestinians by returning the West Bank. To his credit, Begin signed a treaty with Egypt in 1979, and relations between the two nations have been cordial, if not friendly, ever since. Before Rabin, however, Israeli prime ministers were content to take U.S. aid (in the form of over $3 billion annually, by far the largest "foreign aid give-away") and buy weapons. They didn't need to negotiate; they had the guns. It will be a great day indeed when Israel takes the initiative to invest in peace. -The East Carolinian- Page 4 Classifieds July 20, 1994 For Rent For Rent Help Wanted Help Wanted RINGGOLD TOWERS Now Taking Leases for 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom & Efficiency Apartments. .

ManagwiMiH The David Grisman quintet will perform at The Attic next Tuesday. The Grammy-nominated mandolin player has a list of album credits that reads like a Who's Who in the music Industry, and he Is a sought after virtuoso. By Warren Sumner Lifestyle Editor David "Dawg" Grisman, ar- guably the world's best mandolin player, will bring his incredible talent to Greenville's Attic next Tuesday night. Grisman will per- form with his quintet on July 26, treating local music fans to a form of music that is hard to classify. Grisman's style is referred to as "dawg music" and, played mainly on acoustic instruments, combines elements of jazz, gypsy, Latin and bluegrass into a high-energy mix. Grisman, 46, has played acoustic string music profession- ally since 1964, when he got his first job as a mandolinist with Red Allen and the Kentuckians. Grisman has since showcased his fabulous playing on over 100 re- cordings from a variety of musical genres. His playing can be heard on songs recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Linda Rons tad t, James Taylor and the Grateful Dead. Perhaps Grisman's most fa- mous collaboration is his 1974 re- lease with the Dead's Jerry Garcia, Old And In The Way, which is one of the biggest selling bluegrass al- bums in history. Grisman and Garcia contin- ued their association with the 1991 Grammy-nominated release GarciaGrisman. The disc capti- vated acoustic music fans with its Ska comes to Full Stop By Mark Brett Assistant Lifestyle Editor It wasn't so much that the early evening crowd at the At- tic last Saturday night wasnon- existent as it was tiny and strange. There I was, with three sullen freshmen and a whole bunch of rhythmless white people with too much beer in their stomachs who thought they could dance. On second thought, maybe that's not so strange. At any rate, what few of us there were had all shown up to see Full Stop, a Georgia band that had been billed as a "ska-reggae" outfit. They turned out to be a slightly dif- ferent animal in reality, but I didn't mind so much. Sowhatkindofmusicdoes Ful 1 Stop play? "Really, we play reggJ(e-thrash-funk said the band's frontman. "A little bit of everythingEverything,tomy mind, includes healthy doses of jazz and roots rock, as well as other minor influences. So Full Stop is a pretty versatile outfit, a six-man band complete with keyboard and horns. The keyboardist doubles on trum- pet for some songs, while the horn man plays no less than four instruments, including saxophone and flute. Put these twoalongsidethestandardgui- tar,bass,drumsandvocals,and you get a very nice multi-lay- ered sound. Full Stop plays music with a catchy beat that's both danceable and complex. Full Stop is a talented group, and it's too bad their firstsetwassopoorlyattended. They came on stage at 10:45, not at all early for the Attic, and played a nice, if lonely, 45- minute set. At one point their singer jumped off the stage in desperation and walked around through the audience, shaking what few hands there were and trying to get the sparse crowd motivated. I couldn't help but like the guys. Unfortunately,itwasn'tun- til their first set ended that very many people showed up. I al- most left then; I thought I had See STOP page 6 Author explores Deep South sex By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer Sex, sex, sex. It is probably ob- vious to anyone outside or inside American culture that weas a coun- try are obsessed with sex. It is the basic idea that permeates most of MTV's image flashes and it is the most successful advertising lure to promoteall types of products from all over body sprays to cars to the ever present bimbo beer commer- cial. With an introduction like this you would expect the rest of the article to be about sex, right? Well it is. Sex and poetry, to be exact. This July will see the 20th anni- versary edition of Rosemary Daniell's landmark collection of poetry. A Sexual Tour of the Deep South The Push Button Publishing company out of Hilton Head, South Carolina, has started to put back into print works by southern women that has been unavailable, and they are growing to include writers with unique voices from throughout the south. Daniell's book is the first of many to come. Rosemary Daniell began her life as a poet in the suburbs outside Atlanta with kids, a husband and the Amerisan dream. Her first po- ems were about nature and ani- mals, a world away from the politi- cally and sexually charged poetry mat were to come later. She even studied under James Dickey, who loved her nature poems. She once told him of her interest in two new women poets, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. His reply was, "They're just shrill, hysterical women who write about throwing their abortions in the gutter Not too long after thi s, her poetry began to change in subject matter. This new poetry she began to write scared even the author at times, but she soon came to realize that it was allowing her to break two major taboos of Southern women: speaking out honestly about anger and sexuality. These new poems were not at first easily accepted. The editor at Liverright, who had liked her earlier "safe" poems said, "I hated them! I felt like I had been thrown down a vaginal orifice That just might be the ef- fect of a woman poet who writes more openly than a man. The book is divided up into four main sections: RadicalSurgery, The Amazon's Daughter, Blood Sherbet, and A Sexual Tour of the Deep South.Eachoneof these chap- ters takeson someextremely touchy subjects dealing with power rela- tionships, rape, lesbian relation- ships, coming of age, the state of women in society and, of course, sex. The first chapter, Radical Sur- gery,seems to be almosta prophecy for the '90s. The poem that opens the chapter, "What's Happening could easily be about Lorrena Bobbit. It is a lovely poem about going to bed with your lover and a razor blade and equalizing things, so to speak. This is a chapter of blood and mutilation, an extreme response to women's condition in society. This chapter ends with "Liv- ing on Rape Time an angry poem bent on revenge, much in the same vein as the opening poem. This first chapter will probably cause most men to shift in their seats a little � itaboundswith phallic symbols and sharp instruments. Lesbian issues are explored in the second chapter, The Amazon's Daughter. Most of the poems in mis chapter are concerned with the cel- ebration of same sex relationships, but the language is not anywhere See SEX page 6 TEC reviewer not "Blown Away5' by action film � By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The most charitable comment that can be said of the film Blown Away is that it makes one appreciate the genius of a film like Speed. Blown Awayutilizes every cliche it can in telling the story of a terrorist who places bombs throughout the city of Boston in an attempt to kill members of the bomb squad. A per- functory love interest for the hero, several chase scenes, a close friend's death and a final retribution for the hero are all found in Blown Away. Sadly though, little else but cliches are found in this film. Jeff Bridges stars as James Dove, a member of the Boston bomb squad whoistryingtooutrun his past Dove was bom in Ireland and killed sev- eral people with a bomb that he and Ryan Gaerity (Tommy Lee Jones) had planted. Gaerity escapes from prison after twenty years as Blown Away opens. (Whyittookhimso long to break out is not explained, but Gaerity makes the escape seem so easy that one wonders why he re- mained incarcerated all that time. Gaerity escapes to America where he sees James Dove on televi- sion and thus decides to exact his revenge on Dove for having left him to rot in prison for so long. Gaerity meticulously crafts bombs that are desingedtokillmembersofthebomb squad, each time making sure that Dove knows whoisdoing the killing. Therest of Bfozw.AuMy painfully details the search for Gaerity. I was hoping that Dove would find him sooner because the film would then have been mercifully shorter. Stephen Hopkins (director of Predator 2) should be relegated to gradeBpicruresafterafilrnlike Blown guitar-mandolin interplays. Grisman has three such nomi- nations to his credit and has revo- lutionized the worlds of blue- grass and jazz with his virtuos- ity. A third Garcia collaboration in 1993 also extended the man- dolinist into children's music with the release of Not For Kids Only, a collection of folk songs geared for a younger audience. Grisman has also recently released Tone Poems, an album salute to acoustic sounds pro- duced by vintage instruments. A collaboration with guitarist Tony Rice, the album is sure to draw accolades from the music community. David Grisman is an artist who has slipped through the bonds of the music industry. He is not bound to the mediocrity in which the '90s music industry would have him contained. He is truly a virtuoso on his instru- ment and the kind of musicjan who could produce a once-in-a- lifetime performance. He and his band are world-class players, and are drawing large audiences wherever they tour. Advance tickets for the show are $10 and can be purchased at East Coast Music, Quicksilver Records, The Wash Pub or at The Attic. The tickets will cost $12 at the door the night of the show. Walnut Creek presents Traffic jam By Daniel Willis Staff Writer The English classic rock band Traffic, featuring Steve Winwood and John Capaldi, reunitedjuly 12 to play at � Hardee's Walnut Creek Am- phitheater. The performance was incredibly tight, and very passionate. They opened with "Pearly Queen a tune that was fea- tured on their second album back in the early seventies. It sounded just as it might have 20 years ago. Soon after, they played some music off the latest Traf- fic album. But the new music was played sparingly. One thing that might have kept many Traffic fans away from the show was the threat of hearing recent material from the band. Nobody wants to hear Traffic play Winwood's solo material, and luckily none was played. Winwood displayed a incredible variety of musi- cal talents. It has always been common knowledge, that he has a remarkable: voice. Eric Clapton once said: that Winwood possessed the I best voice in the world. But I doubt people understand the caliber of guitarist he isV He played outrageous leads on such classics as "Rock and Roll Stew "The Low Spark of High-heeled Boys and "Dear Mr. Fantasy Winwood played piano and keyboards on songs like "Glad" and "Leave the Light On or Leave Me Alone It See TRAFFIC page 6 Away. Hopkins cannot generate any real tension with his camera so he takes the easy way and uses, and overuses, slow motion to drag out scenes of suspense, especially just before a bomb is about to detonate. Hopkins' storytellingskillsareduller than a butter knife. He jumps from one scene to Jie next without any obvious connection. He controls nei- ther the soujid editing whicii makes everyoneseemasiftheyhavemouth- fuls of marbles, or the film editing, which too obviously strives to create artificial tension that does not exist and which mangles scenes of true tension. The entire feel of Blown Away is one of murkiness.

But wait! Just in time to save the day, up jumps that investiga- tive ace, Michael Moore! Michael Moore, native son of Flint, Mich Michael Moore, the "me" in his 1989 documentary smash, "Roger & Me Michael Moore, NOT Roger Moore�and definitely not Stone Phillips! Granted, NBC scrupulously adds the word "comedic" to its description of Michael Moore's brand-new "TV Nation (Do they mean his "investigative comedic magazine show" is funnier than "Dateline NBC"?) And � full disclosure � it is not within NBC's news division that Moore (who produces, writes, SEX directs, hosts and otherwise mas- terminds "TV Nation") is hang- ing his ever-present gimme cap. So what? Investigate "TV Na- tion" (premiering Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT), and you'll find it's the freshest, most wickedly probing magazine since "60 Minutes" started ticking. As if that weren't enough, NBC wasn't kidding when they called it "corned ic Why, "TV Na- tion" is even funnier than "Mod- els Inc this summer'sonly other new series. The best way to see "TV Na- tion" is unprepared, so don't ask what funny business Moore has up his flannel sleeve. Suffice it to say this week's topics include Love Canal, free trade with Mexico, Manhattan taxi drivers, a prison without prison- ers, and Twinkles in Russia. Continued from page 5 Even better, there's not so much asa mention of Brian "Kato" Kaelin, the Betty Ford Clinic, Julia Roberts, the information super- highway or bad meat. On the other hand, this is just Week 1, with at least six more shows to come. Could Moore maybe have front-loaded all his good stuff? Are crooked plumb- ers and the flesh-eating virus slot- ted for Week 2? "No says Moore, a bulky man with an unassuming manner whom you underestimate at your peril. Gladly, he reels off a few of "TV Nation's" future scoops: "We were wondering what Dr. Kevorkian does on his day off, so we went to Detroit to spend it with him we went to the Ama- zon where Avon ladies go up and down the river selling cosmetics to poor Indian women we went to Washington, D.C to try to bring the ambassadors of Serbia and Croatia together to bring peace to Bosnia by singing the 'Barney' song to each other we Point taken, Michael. By the way, when Moore says "we he's referring to a crew of correspondents that includes filmmaker Rusty Cundieff ("Fear of a Black Hat"), Ben Hamper (laid-off automotive worker and author of the best-selling "Rivethead") and Merrill Markoe (former "Late Night with David Letterman" writer). If they seem a varied group, they do have one thing in com- mon: no news credentials. "That means we don't have to create a false sense of objectiv- ity, which never exists anyway Moore reasons. near as brutal as the first chapter.

It mainly deals with the injustices that women face in soci- ety, and many of the ideals and icons that help perpetuate them as second class citizens. The poem "Mary, Mary" is a good example of this. It begins: "Mary was a sucker- done in by the culture- her role? to get screwed by God This is a chapter that calls for a change in attitude, it asks women to change their attitude from being centered on others to being centered on her survival as a strong individual. The fourth and final chapter "A Sexual Tour of the Deep South" brings the book full circle. Aftc- going through mutilation, lesbian relationships and the destruction of icons the book comes back to men and women and their alliances. The final poem, "The Angel Stud is the author reconciling herself to men, coming back to where she started with a new vision. "And tonight, touched by the Angel Stud,1 will know how to flow toward a man The book becomes a process, a jour- ney to the self that allows her to come back with a new lease on life. This is not a book for those who are afraid of radical ideas. The first chapter can be shocking, while the rest of the book is mild in compari- son. It is not necessarily a women's book either, after all, I'm a man and I thought it was great.

The show was scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. and didn't begin un- til 9:00. It ended around 11:00, but when the show was over the band looked exhausted.

They sell tickets solely on the basis of reputation. ButTrafficproved this wasn't the case for them. It was a very intense show, and they can obviously still perform. seen enough. That first set proved their talenttome,butIthoughtrhey were a little rigid. Their songs were catchy, but didn't seem to have much energy. I didn't think they had much of an edge. But I felt guilty about the idea of leaving early, so I stuck around. And when Full Stop took the stage again at midnight, they gave me edge in abundance. The larger au- dience seemed to have energized them, and they cut loose with a quick succession of thrash tunes. Suddenly, the guitars sounded more like Living Colour than the Allman Brothers. The band, not to mention the crowd, waslooser and sweatier, and die show picked up. While Full Stop played mostly what I assume was original mate- rial, stuff Fm ncrt at aU familiar with, they alsodidacoupleof cover tunes. The first, and most well-received, was their version of Rick James' "Brickhouse While pretty close to the original, Full Stop put their own spin to the song, with slighdy harsher guitar work and a faster pace. Theydid the same with their second cover tune, a choppy ver- sion of the less-well-known cruci- fixion song from Jesus Christ Su- perstar. Thatonedidn'tgetasgood a crowd response, but it was per- haps the most surreal moment of the evening (and, of course, my personal favorite).

According to a report out of Charlotte, former NCAA execu- tive director Dick Schultz ex- plained that the Metro and the Great Midwest conferences could merge by the end of this week. He has been working as a Metro consultant and negotiated the contract. ECU hopes to enter all of its sports into this new situation, but it is possible that football will be the only sport included and the others will stay in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). If the conferences merge, a possible football conference could contain ECU, Houston, Louisville, Southern Miss Tulane, Cincinnati and Mem- phis. These talks were ignited by a lucrative television contract ne- gotiated with Liberty Sports, a Texas-bcsed company that tele- vises games through the Prime Network. Schultz said a decision must be made quickly because Liberty's contract offer expires this week. "I really think that, person- ally, the story may have been mis- represented in a sense, not inten- tionally, but misrepresented what is factually going on ECU Ath- letic Director Dave Hart told Todd Gibson of WNCT-TV. "What is factually going on is that there is an on-going study to see if it would be feasible to merge the two con- ferences Nothing is impossible, as we have followed conference realignment throughout the coun- try, but I still think that the odds are nearly as high as the report would indicate Photo by Harold Wise Marcus Crandell, seen here waving in last year's opener against Syracuse, is healthy and ready to return from a broken leg injury. The 1994 opener is at Duke. There is a possibility that this information was disseminated to generate more interest and maybe to quicken the decision process. There is also a possibility that the TV contract offer could be ex- tended. ECU Sports Information Di- rector Charles Bloom said he does not think anything will happen this week and the negotiators are still talking. ECU has spent this summer trying to join either the Metro (Lou- isville, UNC-Charlotte, South Florida, Southern Miss Tulane, Virginia Commonwealth and Vir- ginia Tech) or the Midwest (Ala- bama-Birmingham, Cincinnati and Memphis), or a super confer- ence where these teams would form one big conference. Many negotiators associated with these possibilities have said that the end of the summer is a good target date for determining the future of ECU athletics. Intramurals slowly coming to a close Photo by Leslie Petty Softball is one of ECU'S most popular intramural sports. All sports offered by Rec. Services are open to all students at different levels.

Mark ECU football sets standard Staff Reports The East Carolinian ECU football is not just about physical activities. It is also about players helping players, and not always just on the field. This fall, 18 ECU players will serve on the Football Academic Leadership Team, also known as S.T.A.R's (Student Taking Aca- demic Responsibility). Team members will help promote aca- demic excellence and team leadership, en- hance communication between the football team and the Office of Student Development and challenge team- mates to maximize their potential both on and off the field. "These players were selected based on their leadership quali- ties, both on and off of the field and their committment to graduation said Pam Overton, ECU's assistant athletic director for Student Develop- ment. "They are the leadership team for the sport of football at East Carolina The 18 members will be act- ing as "big brothers" to the 18-24 incoming freshmen and transfers. They will be paired up for the first Terry Tilghman month of school to help ease the new students' transition. They will help relay student development activities and football information. "We're hoping that the football academic leadership team can serve as positive role models said ECU academic developmentcoordinatorDana Monson. "Not only for the in- comingplayers,butfor the team as a whole both on and off the field The leadership team will help with registration, study halls and any tags through campus computers. They will try to set up re- ward systems to help academically. Planned study hours and moni- tored study halls are also designed to positively influence the new athletes. The group will serve as role models and mentors for fellow teammates, as well as serving as ambassadors for the football program at official functions and actively partici- pating in the "Athletes for Edu- cation" Speakers Bureau at ECU.

See INTRAMURALS page 8 Owners, players not a perfect match (AP) � Baseball players and owners are making it clear they want nothing to do with each other's proposals, leaving the sport in a relentless march to- ward a work stoppage. "What the owners are pro- posing is not different from the salary caps they proposed in 1985 and 1990 union head Donald Fehr said Monday after formally rejecting management's salary- cap plan. "In all cases their objec- tive has been to deny players their fair-market value, to destroy free agency or blunt it, because to do so will lessen salaries and owners will pocket the difference Fehr said the sides will meet again Wednesday and said the executive board of the Major League Baseball Players Associa- tion will meet either in person or by telephone next week to dis- cuss a strike date. Players men- tion mid-August to mid-Septem- ber as the most likely time for a walkout. "When there are other rea- sonable options, that's the one you consider last Fehr said. "But if need be, that's the one you act on Management negotiator Ri- chard Ra vitch didn't expect play- ers to embrace the owners' plan. Fehr said players are unlikely to ever agree on a salary-cap plan because they fear it would "de- stroy free agency, harm competi- tive balance, principally benefit large-market clubs and reduce incentives to grow the business Ravitch said he was an opti- mist. But he also has said he also thinks there will be a strike. "I was extremely disap- pointed that we did not receive a proposal that was responsive to the problems in the game we are trying to address he said. And so baseball appears headed to its eighth work stop- page since 1972. Small-market clubs, led by Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig, the executive council chairman, say a funda- mental change is necessary to keep their teams competitive. Large-market clubs, fearful of attacks on their local broadcast- ing revenue, agreed to a new rev- enue-sharing plan in January � but made it contingent on the union agreeing to a cap. "The proposal we received on June 14 attempts to put an arbitrary limit on player salaries, what we think will be substan- tiallybelow the fair-market value of the players involved Fehr said. "Why owners think players would be interested in that kind of system is beyond us During the four-hour bar- gaining session, Fehr asked own- ers to return the threshold for salary arbitration to two years instead of three and to raise the minimum salary from $109,000 to between $175,000 and $200,000. U NBA gets slammed out of court Judge says it is time to bargain (AP) � A federal judge, after leaving everything the way it was in professional basketball, now wants the NBA and its players union to keep off his court. In finding the NBA's salary cap and college draft legal and not a violation of antitrust la ws, Judge Kevin Duffy said Monday it was time tor both sides to bargain. "No court, no matter how highly situated, can replace this time-honored manner of labor dis- pute resolution he said. "Rather than clogging the courts with un- necessary litigation, the parties should pursue this course Promising everything was now open to negotiation, NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik said he hoped "the play- ers will come back to the bar- gaining table so we can move forward "We think we have to find a system that enables us and the players to have a proper and fair division of the revenues he said. "If there's another system, we're prepared to talk about that Buck Williams of the Port- land Trail Blazers, president of the NBA Players Association, said, "The most important point that Judge Duffy wanted to make is he wants us to settle this thing at the collective bargaining table. It may take a good while, but eventually that's what's going to happen Meanwhile, the players plan to appeal soon, said Frederick Schwartz Jr a lawyer for the union. "It seems to us that it is a rather strange result that if you agreed to something you are stuck with it as long as the union exists Duffy's decision fell in line with previous rulings giving pro sports wide latitude to work out labor agreements outside of some laws limiting other busi- nesses. Duffy himself downplayed the legal significance, noting the issue had been in federal court at least three times before and saying he was "convinced neither party cares about this litigation or the result "Both are simply using the court as a bargaining chip in the collective bargaining pro- cess he said. The ruling freed teams to immediately resume signing contracts with players, a prac- tice that had been stopped by the court pendinag resolution of the dispute. Duffy rejected the NBA Players Association's argument that the salary cap violated an- titrust law, saying the NBA was not subject to the law as long as it has a collective bargaining relationship with the union. 8 The East Carolinian July 20, 1994 Grant stops in Charlotte on summer shopping tour (AP)�Horace Grant brought his free-agent shopping tour to the Charlotte Hornets, where team officials gave him a tour of the city and team facilities. The seven-year veteran has scheduled five cities on his tour. He's already talked with the De- troit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. Grant, the former Clemson star, will be talk- ing with the Orlando Magic. "Our understanding is that Horace is traveling around to get a sense of things said Hornets team president Spencer Stolpen. "From the first day, when I spoke to him on July 1,1 said, 'Call around, call our players if you want to get a true sense of the way things are here I told him to call Kendall Gill. We have nothing to hide Stolpen said. Grant and his attorney, Jimmy Sexton, arrived Monday morning and met at the team's offices be- hind the Charlotte Coliseum with Stolpen Hornets owner George Shinn and player personnel direc- tor Dave Twardzik. Neither Grant nor Sexton would comment on the visitor talks they've had with other teams. "I'm sure we'll talk more when they have finished visiting the cit- ies they are considering Stolpen said. The Hornets have a $1.9 mil- lion slot available for next season under the present salary cap, a fig- ure that reportedly puts them in the middle of the pack among the teams Grant has visited with. De- troit could have the most money to offer following the retirement of Isiah Thomas. The Lakers and the Magic have the least amount of flexibility for the 6-foot-10 Grant. "Money was discussed only in the broadest terms Stolpen said of the Monday meeting. Stolpen also said he would meet with Ron Grinker, agent for Atlanta forward Danny Manning, within the next week. New York will not let Keenan take off for Saint Louis (AP) � After signing a five- year contract with the St. Louis Blues, Mike Keenan can't under- stand why his old team is creating such a fuss. Keenan said Monday it was inaccurate to say he shocked the New York Rangers when he de- clared himself a "free agent" on Friday and then signed a five-year deal to become the coach and gen- eral manager of the Blues two days later. "It wasn't something that came up overnight Keenan said. "We weren't sitting on a button at 12:01 (am). It wasn't one day late, they knew on June 14 what their obligations were. "It wasn't 'Oh, we all forgot, it's now July 15, what happened?' To say that happened is not true Still, the Rangers are fighting to keep him from leaving. The Rangers and Madison Square Garden asked NHL com- missioner Gary Bettman to arbi- trate what they termed Keenan's "attempt to terminate his employ- ment The Rangers also requested an investigation into Keenan's re- ported agreement with the Blues and reported contact with the De- troit Red Wings. The Rangers asked the NHL to prohibit Keenan from working for any other team while the issue is decided. A statement said the Rangers also would consider "all other al- ternatives to vindicate their rights Bettman responded that he asked both sides to submit written positions by Thursday, when he will decide whether a hearing is necessary. He also said that he would have no further comment on the matter until it is resolved. Keenan and his lawyer, Rob Campbell of Toronto, had plenty to say on the subject during an hour-long news conference Mon- day.
