Ltd. The Japa- nese-based manufacturer of small motors announced yes- terday it will be opening a plant in Greenville's industrial park. In a signing ceremony held Tuesday morning at Mendenhall Student Center, ASMO President Kazuhide Naruki signed land purchase contracts and discussed reasons for choosing Greenville for the facility. "The motto under which ASMO operates is 'Quality First Naruki said. "It is ap- parent to us that Greenville and Pitt County share our motto as demonstrated by the quality of your development, your indus- trial community, your educa- tional and medical facilities and, most certainly, your people. "WeatASMObelievethat this state and this particular community share our commit- ment to quality. East Carolina University is a good example of your ability to create reality from vision. You worked hard for the simple teachers college that grew into a major univer- sity, that parented a medical school Gov. Jim Hunt attended the ceremony as well. He praised ASMO for being a "good corporate citizen and said the company will be able to help the Greenville area in many ways. "This new manufacturing facility will mean 320 new jobs by 1998 for Greenville and other eastern North Carolina com- munities Hunt said. "It will mean an investment of roughly $40 million to our state's economy ASMO will initially em- ploy 110 people when it com- mences operations in October 1995. The company will build a 160,000 square-footbuildingon its 20 acres of land in the Pitt County Indigreen Corporate Park. ASMO will use the build- ing for its manufacturing, ware- housing and distribution op- erations. ASMO Greenville of North Carolina will be the third operations plant the company has opened up in the state. ASMO North Carolina Inc. opened in Statesville in 1989 and Automotive Motors of Thomasville, Inc. was commis- sioned in June, 1994. The Pitt County Develop- ment Commission was instru- mental in bringing ASMO to Greenville. Larkin Little is chair of the commission. "ASMO's reputation for outstanding management, a high quality product and con- stant striving for excellence is known throughout the world Larkin said. Also giving speeches at the press conference were Green- ville Mayor Nancy Jenkins, Chair of the County Board of Commissioners Ed Bright and Chair of the Pitt-Greenville Chamber Dave McRae. ASMO makes and sells motors that run systems such as windshield wipers and power windows. Customers include Ford, Honda, Mazda and Toyota, both in the U.S. as well as Japan and Europe. Eastern N.C. helps out flood victims Photo by Richard Lewi Eastern North Carolina residents lend a helping hand to Georgian flood victims during a recent donation drive held at Winn-Dixie. By Stephanie Lassiter Assistant News Editor Eastern North Carolinians turned out at the Winn-Dixie marketplace on Saturday, July 16, to support Georgian flood victims, accumulating at least $35,000 worth of supplies. Robert Lewis, an ECU stu- dent and member of Sigma Phi Epsiion fraternity, originated the project because, like like millions of Americans, he saw on the dev- astation caused by floods in Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Lewis decided it was up to him to get eastern North Carolina moving to help those in need. "I figured no one else in eastern North Carolina was do- ing this and someone should help out Lewis said. After Lewis began pub- licizing the campaign to radio and news stations across the state, other towns and cities began following suit and set- ting up their own donation sta- tions. "We estimated $35,000 in total supplies Lewis said. "It could make it the largest phi- lanthropy project at ECU This is, however, merely a guess as Lewis said that the Interfraternity Council (LFC) does not keep records of philanthrophy projects. Lewis said the campaign See DRIVE page 2 future "100 Black Men of Atlanta" program held last week By Wendy Rountree Staff Writer ECU hosted participants of the "100 Black Men of Atlanta" program last week on campus. Though the program's title is "100 Black Men women also participate in the program. The participants included three fe- male and five male high school students. "This is the first year they visited ECU said Dr. Brian Haynes, director of Minority Af- fairs. "It is one of the stronger programs in the country The program is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and is funded through corporate sponsorship. Haynes said ECU is the first predominately white uni- versity to host a group of stu- dents from the program. "We hope the program will be an annual program at ECU Haynes said. He said that the program's mission is to improve the qual- ity of life for the African-Ameri- can community through the long standard of self-help. One way the program accomplishes its mission is by exposing the students to such environments as the ECU campus and college atmosphere. On campus the program was organized by Haynes and Dr. Julius Mallette, an associate professor at the ECU School of Medicine. "Students were given an orientation to the campus, they ate in the cafeteria, and stayed in a residence hall Haynes said. Haynes also said that the students participated in the "Ropes" course, which is a high adventure course intended to build group cohesiveness and teamwork. Peer mentors Lydia Will- iams and Tara Cox also helped the students adjust to the cam- pus. Williams thought the pro- gram had a very positive out- come. "I think it was successful because the students enjoyed themselves Williams said. "The program accomplished its goals Also, students discussed many problems in the African- American communities of At- lanta. "They came to discuss and to look at some possible solu- tions to the problems in the black community Williams said. Williams said some of the problems covered during the week included violence, teen pregnancy and unem- ployment. "Supposedly, they are going back to implement some of those solutions Wil- liams said. The students were in- vited to ECU in hopes of pos- sible enrollment. "Many of these students are the brightest and the best of Atlanta Haynes said. "Bringing the brightest and the best to campus, that's what it was all about. Schol- arship. To recruit students Students design solar-powered automobile (CPS) � Imagine a vehicle that can travel from Chicago to Milwaukee powered only by the sun. How about a car that switches to environmentally friendly battery power when it travels on congested city interstates? What if an automo- bile logged 10,000 miles between trips to the gas station? Fueled by brain power and hard work, student engineers are building prototype vehicles that accomplish many of these things today. But whatever moves these college engineering students, it is certainly not their fathers' Oldsmobiles. Instead, the student-built autos recently showcased in competitions across the nation use cutting-edge alternatives to today's gasoline-powered inter- nal combustion engine. At Drexel University in Philadelphia, seven engineering students designed and built a three-wheel, solar-powered ve- hicle, the SunDragon IV, to com- pete in this year's American Tour de Sol, a 300-mile race from New York City to Philadelphia for so- lar-powered vehicles. The SunDragon, which was built for the monster-sized price tag of 75,000 dollars, weighs 550 pounds and is 19 feet long, 3.3 feet high and 6.5 feet wide. Its solar panel alone is eight square meters. The vehicle, which runs on a ten horsepower engine, can travel approximately 180 miles at 40 miles per hour on a full charge. In late May, the students' efforts paid off as they easily won the racing event, finishing almost seven hours ahead of their nearest competitor. Building the SunDragon was entirely a student project, done outside the classroom on the students' own time. Pablo Corbella, an electrical and com- puter engineering major, says he found the making of SunDragon to be a challenge. "We are our own bosses with this project he says. "You have to be totally self-motivated One motivating force for student engineers may be future employment. With Congress pushing the U.S. car manufac- turers to develop cleaner-run- ning alternatives to today's ve- hicles, engineers who can come up with a better way to fuel a car than by gasoline power alone may be on the road to a rocket- paced career in Detroit. In fact, hybrid electric ve- hicles � vehicles that combine both electric motors and inter- nal combustion engines�could compose a small percentage of all cars chugging along the interstates within the next sev- eral years. In a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a microproces- sor smoothly switches systems to electrical power when the car travels in populated areas, re- ducing undesirable airborne emissions. In June, more than 40 col- lege teams took the 1994 Hybrid Electric Vehicle Challenge, bringing rebuilt Saturns, Ford Escorts and their own one-of-a- kind HEV creations to Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Mich. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, National Resources-Canada, the Society of Automotive Engineers and Saturn Corporation, the event marked the culmination of more than a year of planning, designing, building and testing for the student creators of these HEVs. Lawrence Tech's car, dubbed Response HI, was typi- cal of those HEVs in the "ground- up" category. Response HI is part Geo Storm, part Chrysler Neon, part Ford Probe and part Geo Metro, along with an assortment of other unique components. It was put together in the school's vehicle dynamics lab.

Meanwhile, if some Cali- fornia students' ideas about the car of the future ever evolve into a vehicle for the mass market, motorists can expect fewer trips to the gas station. Recently student engineers showcased their advanced fuel- saving vehicles during the 11th annual West Coast Supermileage Competition. The competition was held June 13 at the Highway Patrol's test track in Bryte, Calif. For the competition, stu- dents designed and built aerody- namic, lightweight vehicles that run on small four-cylinder en- gines. They then took their cre- ations for three laps around the 1.735-mile track. While students certainly didn't break any ground speed records (participants usu- ally travel at speeds of about 15 miles per hour), they did get re- markably good gas mileage. The University of Califor- nia-Santa Barbara's vehicle, Scone, which took first place in the iso-octane fuel division, trav- els an astonishing 1,358.72 miles per gallon. Iso-octane fuel is simi- lar to gasoline consumers buy, only cleaner, with no additives. Meanwhile, the Rush Mo- bile, California State University- Northridge's entry, logs 1,019.51 miles per gallon. The vehicle won the M85 division, which included cars using a blend of 85 percent methanol and 15 percent gaso- line.

Layout Manager Mike Ashley, Creative Director James B. Boggs, Asst. Creative Director Leslie Petty, Photo Editor Cninb Nguyen, Systems Manager Cap rule restricts personal freedoms I Here in America, we usually feel secure in our basic liberties. For themostpart,noone tries to limit our rights. However,as Jefferson saidetemal vigilance is the price of liberty. We at The East Carolinian have discovered a potential threat to freedom. As an editor recently learned from personal experience, at the East Carolina Bowl on Red Banks Road, patrons are not allowed to wear baseball caps backwards on the premises. While we support the right of individual property owners to make their own rules for their property, in this case this rule is just plain foolish There is apparently no justification for the manager having this rule. When pressed for a reason, he saidthere was "no logic to it. It's just a dress code Dress codes are usually used to provide a sense of decorum and class to an establishment. Anyone who has every been to a bowling alley knows that these things are definitely lacking from such locations. Any establishment which allows (or even encourages by selling) drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and wearing tacky clothes (bowling shirts and shoes) has very little right to complain that someone is lacking in class. The essence of bowling is that itlacks class. What other sport allows its participants to drink beer and eat hot dogs between events? Just imagine, for examp1 rroyAikmanjoggingbacktothesidelines after tossing a touchdown pass, picking up the brew and dog he had set down to go out onto the field. Since many members of the older generation dislike the wearing of baseball caps backwards, we can only assume that this rule is a result of some sort of prejudice against the younger crowd. While it is true that the youth of the world frequently cause problems, the solution to this problem is not to send them out into the world to fend for themselves. Giving them a fairly safe environment in which to have fun, like a bowling alley, is surely a much better solution than to leave them to their own devices. Unfortunately, other than Mendenhall Student Center, this is the only place in Greenville to bowl. So, if, like us, you think that this is an extremely stupid rule, your options are very limited. Tennis, anyone? By Jason Williams Departing thoughts on state of journalism and world As I sit among the piles of clothes, boxes of books and mounds of junk and junque that constitute all of my earthly belongings (that is, those earthly belongings that do not currently reside with my parents in Florida), I take a moment to reflect on the past four years, and especially my two-year tenure at The East Carolinian. I have never been one to wax eloquent about my own life, or the past, so I'll just say a few words about journalism in general and TEC in particular. Journalists, the press, the mass media or whatever you, the public, wish to call us, are an easy target. Being in the public eye, we get more than our share of criticism from damn near everyone out there. Most of the time, I come down on the side of the press. We are called the liberal media by conservatives, many of whom blame us for society's downfall. Well, to begin with, I don't buy the argument that society is degenerating the least bit, and furthermore, I think we are progressing, on the whole, and much better off than folks 50 years ago. At any rate, journalists probably show their own biases in their work, and many, probably a majority, of people in the profession lean to the left politically. My own theory as to why this is so, is that journalism attracts an open-minded, more intelligent, liberal sort of person, much the way banking attracts people with a more conservative mindset. This is not bad; people have to be something. It's just that more of the people in journalism happen to be something that conservatives detest. To say that the liberal media influences politics is ludicrous, however. If the left controls the media, how did Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush get their messages out? And what explains Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy, Pat Buchanan, William Safire, James Kirkpatrick, et cetera, et cetera? The other side complains almost as vigorously that one must adopt a conservative bent in order to appear on television, in the newspaper, or on the radio. That is to say, no one can supersede accepted norms through these mediums without being reprimanded (as in the case of Madonna on Letterman) or censored. Likewise, President Clinton recently lashed out at his critics on T.V. and one columnist has gone so far as to say Clinton has received the most unfair press in presidential history. I highly doubt that one. One, more dubious, example: a paper partisan toward John Adams once printed that his rival in the election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson, would ban Bibles, and send out troops to confiscate them. Now that's being mean. People also criticize newspapers for printing only bad news. Well, folks, what is news? Is a boy scout stopping to help an old lady cross the street newsworthy? Should TEC feature on its front page a fraternity raising money for charity? We had a nice debate about what was most important to our readers, and what, as a consequence, should appear on the front page. I argued against anything other than "real" news on the front, primarily because I have something against popular culture. As alert readers will notice, everything that appears after the news section � opinion, lifestyle and sports � deals with popular culture. And pop culture is trivial, worthless and stupid. I have another theory that says the only things that are really worth press coverage are politics and large natural disasters. That leaves out a lot of areas � crime (sorry O.J.), good deeds, sports and culture to name a few � but it also encompasses a lot of territory. Watch what appears on the hallowed pages of TEC next year and judge for yourself. Speaking of our paper � your paper � whatever is accomplished in the following year will have to be done without me. This is my final edition, so to speak, and I must say, I'll sure miss this place when I'm gone. But first: I would like to thank Jeff Becker, who gave me a chance, and who forgot more about journalism than I'll ever know; Beth Shimmel for giving me great stories, Karen Hassell, who let me do my own thing and Maureen Rich, with whom I often disagree, but for whom I have the greatest respect. Blair Skinner and Gregory Dickens must have been two of the finest managing editors the paper has ever known, and I have confidence that Mo will follow nicely in their footsteps. I am quite certain, also, that Stephanie Lassiter will become an accomplished news editor as well. Finally, I would like to thank Brian Hall, on whose page I appear. He is without a doubt the most thoughtful conservative you'll ever meet. By this I mean he puts thought into his argument, not that he has a heart or anything. Everyone knows conservatives don't have hearts. Trip to amusement park provokes ponderings, I went to Atlanta last week to cost of Six Flags admission. It mile walk to the car, me with a visit a friend. The drive took about eight hours and I went alone, so, to keep myself occupied, I counted billboards for South of the Border. As much as I hate that place, those billboards gave me something to look at I had a great time in Atlanta, with the exception of the day that I went to Six Flags Over Georgia. I stood in hour-long lines for rides behind hyperactive, hormonally- charged 14-year-olds and got to ride a total of four rides. It must have been National Church Youth Group Day beca use everyone was wearing T-shirts with logos like "Jesus is the answer (what was the question again?) "God'sgym and "His pain, your gain" on them. Basically, I hate amusement parks. I can't stand the crowds, but my friend assured me that since it was a Tuesday, there wouldn't be a crowd. Even though I knew better (it is technically impossible for someone who loathes crowds the way that I do to be lucky enough to avoid mem), I agreed to go. Besides, I had won $27 from two lottery tickets. I found this hard to believe since these two tickets were the only two tickets I had ever owned. On the first one, I won $2 which covered me price of the lottery tickets. On the second one, I won $25, which covered the K�& wms mm All letters, in order to be considered for dtt 250 words, and contain your tiam daytime phone number.

First, we had to park about two miles away, because part of the parking lot was roped off for repairs (hey, it was kind of like being on the campus of ECU). Second, it was half price day for all Kroger employees. Third, it was about 98 degrees. We rode the log flume and got wet, we played those stupid ring toss games mat no one ever wins, we rode a couple of roller coasters. I hyperventilated. It was really embarrassing too; I nearly passed out. Hyperventilating made me feel somewhat old and very uncool. I am not the savvy roller coaster riding fool that I once was. It could have been worse I suppose. I could've thrown up. We ate pretzels, frozen lemonade and funnel cakes. My friend, Jamey, won a huge inflatable baseball bat after the woman at the "guess your ageweight" game guessed thathewas38.He'sactualry 26 and he informed me that no one ever guesses correctly. I started to wonder how many times he'd been to this place, how many inflatable baseball bats he had collected, and I felt a bit uneasy. We gave the bat away to a little kid in an "Ask Jesus" T-shirt Four hours later, on our two sunburn, blisters on my feet, a stomach ache and a bad attitude, and Jamey apologizing profusely, it started raining. Then it started pouring. Then it started to thunder and lightning. By the time we made it to the car, we were both soaked and afraid for our lives. I don't understand the appeal of amusement parks � to me, there is nothing amusing about them. People goand spend money on junk, they ride a few rides, they stand in long lines. These things could be accomplished easily enough without contributing to some theme park tycoon's bank account After we leftSixFlags,I thought about all of the revenue generated by those youth group members, lottery ticket winners and general thrill seekers that could have gone to hdpAdanta'sever-presenthomeless population. Most people claim that they don't have time to give blood, but they'll stand in line for an hour for a minute-long roller coaster ride. The day wasn't an entire loss, however. I bought one of those disposable cameras and took lots of pictures of people'sbutts.Wehad to amuse ourselves somehow, and the rides weren't doing it for us. I spent the rest of my vacation away from crowded places, but that's kind of hard to do in Atlanta. Have a great rest of the summer. By Patrick Hinson Surfing trips brings sadness of parting The multiple colors of scenery and surroundings on the Outer Banks rrKJvedsmoothly by our caras wedrovedown the longand narrow two-lane highway north, back towards Nags Head and then home. The high dunes on one side of the road stood lone sentinel between us and the water line of the Atlantic, and green dunesgrass blew softly with the small and intermittent gusts of on-shore wind. The car windows were down, and the warm and humid air was blowing in, heavy with salt and with that all-too- familiar smell that tells you you're close to the ocean. A friend and I had spent the day looking for waves all the way down the Outer Banks and finding nothing. The surf was completely flat everywhere we looked. We had hoped that the high pressure front that had been sitting on top of us all month had finally lifted, butit didn't seem to have happened, as everythingwas still hot and flatand there was no real wind or swell to bring waves. We had gambled with the ocean and, as often happens, it seemed we had lost again, but we were determined to keep driving until wefound something. Anything. Finally, at the Hatteras lighthouse, there were waves, although small ones. We stood on the dunes looking down at them for a while before deciding to go out Once we were out in the waterhowever, they seemed to pick up, and we had a satisfying session, which, as any surfer will tell you, is enough to be thankful for. The lighthouse stood guard above us, its black and white tower looking lonesome and weather beaten and old, but still strong and stubborn enough tostandafewhundred more years ifweweretogiveitthe chance. The lighthouse holds a tenacious grasp on a small and diminishing sand dune sticking out in the water pastme rest erf the shore!ine,holding on for all its worth, but perhaps slowly losing its land rights battle with nature. The lighthouse, I think, represents a good example of our hold on the banks themselves; isolatedandruled morebynatureand the seasons than anything else. We cling stubbornly to our place on the wild, always fighting and sacrificing to prove that we can keep it When thesurfingwas finished and itwas time to start home, the sun was nearly setting, butitstiil burned white-hot and intense in the sky, blinding us at times as we drove toward it and them dimming and outlining the clouds with a burning ring of fire as it went down behind them. My friend and I had done most of our talking on the way there, and now sat mostly in silence, just taking in the familiar scenery as if for the first time, although we'd seen it hundreds of times before. I watched the sea birds standing in the shallow tidal poolsof the marshes, and flying overhead to unknown destinations. White spits of sand out past the shoreline were quickly sinking beneath the rising tide, and the blue watersof theriversand of the sound, as we got closer to home, began changing to a darker, softer color as die sun set and it was nice just to be able tositback and watchaday come to a close like that realizing how seldom I actually take the time to do it. It was most likely the last time my friend and I would surf together, as he is leaving soon for a school in the North and will be there for the next few years. Men perhaps find it harder to say the things we'd like to say to each other, and saying good- bye toaclose friend is as hard a thing as there is to do anyway. I think we both understood that, and neither of us expected it from the other. It was nice enough, and in a very strange way, appropriate, thatwe did itlike this, with this one last time out in the waves,and then the longdrivehome and into night The closing of the day and the easy drive back of course made me realize once again how I will always fail to take advantage of each day as I should, to see it and experience it and feel it as it should be felt No matter what the weather, a single day is a special thing, regardless of rowdesensitizedwe'vebecome,and so is a true friend. Is it possible to live each day likeifsourlastas they say? Probably not butas often as we can, I think we should try. There doesn't seem to be any way we can always do it, but if we can just try to remember sometimes, well, maybe this quick life will slow down a bit Well be able to realize a few more things, more important dungs, than work or deadlines, about life and aboutourselves,aboutour short time here on this earth and about the gift of being able not only to experience it, but to share it with those around us. Letters to the Editor To the Editor, Jason Williams doesn't know anything about the Arab-Israeli conflict. His article represents reactionary political ignorance and poor rhetoric at its finest. The poor Arab countries who massed at Israel's border in 1967 had every intention of making peace with the tiny Jewish State. He blows his entire argument with the following statement: "Immediately after the partition of the land into Jewish and Palestinian states, Israel and Jordan seized the Palestinian land. . Jordan was the state he spoke of ii the 60 Minutes" fed babble. Most Palestinians have Jordanian passports. Who has been killing the Palestinians all these years, young wag? The Jordanians in Black September 1970.1 know it was before you were born, but if you write about it, you should know something. The Syrians in 1975 killed half a million Arabs. Why didn't the Israelis just give back the Golan to Assad in Syria? Well, each year on the anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War (when the Arabs attacked Israel again!), Assad spoke of his fascist desire for a Greater Syria, one that included Israel and Lebanon as only a small part of its territory. Assad makes Saddam Hussein �i�i iiig.i ; '�"��: ����' i �.�� �11 look likea pussycat. Then, Mr. Williams introduces some bull (in his last paragraph, something I know his rhetoric teacher told him never to do) about the money Israel borrowed and is paying back to the U.S. on time. Egypt and many other countries owe the U.S. similar numbers, but they just aren't paying it back. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and the U.S. profits from that on many levels, including the Israelis' advanced agricultural, technological, and Military Intelligence knowledge. In his conclusion, Williams states that "they didn't need to negotiate; they had guns And, the Arabs had their Soviet made guns. Now that they are lacking Russian spare parts, the Isr4aelis and the Syrians are talking. Mr. Williams knows nothing about the role of the Super Posers nor oil politics. He probably just watches too much television and Rush Limberger sic. It is usually best to discourse on something you know just a little bit about, Mr. Williams. Adam B.

By Brian Hall Staff Witer With all the hoopla recently surrounding the 50th anniversary of the Normandy invasion in par- ticular and World War II in gen- eral, it seems only appropriate that the ECU Summer Theatre would conclude its 35th anniversary sea- son with Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues which continues the fic- tional autobiography of Eugene Morris Jerome begun in the movie Brighton Beach Memoirs. Like all Simon plays, "Biloxi Blues" is a very human comedy, and was per- formed nearly flawlessly last week on the stage of McGinnis Audito- rium. The play really has no plot in the normal sense. It is more a series of humorous sketches tied together by the reoccurring characters. What it does have, and in abundance, are laughs. The humor comes from nearly everywhere. There are jokes about everything from army food to masturbation; from fellatio to Agatha Christie (and these two in the same joke, when a character makes up a Christie title � Death by Fellatio). The glue which holds the play together is Eugene, played by Kevin Varner. While he is the main char- acter, Eugene really participates in very little of the action, serving mostly as a chorus to observe and comment on the actions of others. He even refuses todefend the other Jewish character, Arnold Epstein, when Epstein is verbally abused with anti-Semitic comments from their barracks mates. Varner por- trays the earnest and naive Eugene very effectively, perfectly deliver- ing his hilarious observations with a straight delivery, and with his comments to the audience, almost making them feel that they are in- cluded in the story. The true star of the show, how- ever, is Ed Markowitz as Arnold. He perfectly portrays the effemi- nate, free-thinking intellectual, to- tally out of place in the Army. The one consistent storyline is the on- going battle between Arnold and the drill sergeant, Sgt. Toomey. Arnold resents the dehumanizing aspects of basic training which are necessary to create an effective and cohesive team of soldiers. Toomey wants to make Arnold a good soldier, and Arnold wants to retain his independence. This conflict continues throughoutthe play, concluding in a potentially dramatic confrontation. Unfortunately, it remains only potential, as the actor por- traying Sgt. Toomey (John Shearin) was unable to bring the same ability to his role that Markowitz did. In playing this grizzled veteran, Shearin seems to be capable of only one emotion and volume level (very loud). While this stereotype of the drill sergeant is very effective in the comedic aspects of the play, it fails terribly in the dramatic as- pects. The supporting cast is uni- formly excellent, providing many hilarious moments. The other sol- diers can best be summed up by looking at their answers to the question, "How would you spend your last week, if you knew that See BLUES page 6 GrishanV By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The newest JohnGrishamnovel to be turned into a Hollywood pic- ture is The Client, starring Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. The Client tells the tale of 11- year-old Mark Sway (played by promising newcomer Brad Renfro) who witnesses the suicide of Romey Clifford, a Memphis lawyer for the mob, who has gotten himself in- volved too deeply with one of his clients. Mark tries to stop Romey from poisoning himself with carbon monoxide but Romey catches Mark and drags him in the car with him. Romey tells Mark the location of a dead Louisiana senator before Mark escapes and Romey shoots himself. Fearing for his safety and the safety of his mother (Mary-Louise Parker) and brother (David Speck) Mark sets out to enlist the aide of an attorney. He stumbles into the law office of Reggie Love (Sarandon), an inexperienced but savvy lawyer whose egregious divorce settlement, which left her without visitation rights to her two children, compels her to take Mark's case and provide him with the maternal support she can no longer offer her children. Mark is doggedly pursued for questioning by Roy Foltrigg (Jones), a US. attorney who has political aspirations. Reverend Roy, so called because of his penchant for citing biblical verses, badly wants to locate the body of the senator to help his public image. The Client centers on the rela- tionship between Mark and Reggie and when it does it succeeds. But too much of the story relies on the happenings of the mob, who also want to see how much the boy knows. This constant intercutting slows down the progression of the film and eventually undermines it. Joel Schumacher has always di- rected second rate films that lack focus, like Si. Elmo's Fire, The Lost Boys, and, most recently, Falling Down. The Client, though glossier and classier than his earlier work, continues the trend. Schumacher inserts scenes that unknowingly in- terrupt the entire flow of the film, like one ridiculously contrived se- quence that has Reggie looking for a notebook in the garage when she finds her son's baseball mitt. Tears fill her eyes and the viewer's heart is supposed to swell on cue with com- passion for her. But Reggie wascom- passionate enough before this need- iess scene and by inserting it Schumacher insults the viewer's in- telligence. The acting in The Client saves the film. Sarandon is a Hollywood woman who dares to look her age (47), yet also dares to show how beautifully sexy older women can be. Sarandon gives Reggie the right amount of softness to accent her savvy and grit. Tommy Lee Jones redeems himself after his unnecessarily hammy performance in the summer's Blown Away. His Rever- end Roy is a throwback to his role in The Fugitive (for which he won an Academy Award). Roy is brash, bold and bulJ-headed, but beneath this tough exterior beats the heart of a compassionate man whose liveli- hood prevents him from display- ing his emotion. The rest of the cast also shines, including Ossie Davis in a hilarious turn as a judge and Will Patton as a local cop who constantly tries to frighten Mark into a confession. The Client ranks up there with The Firm and well ahead of 77k Peli- can Brief, but like both these films it lacks permanence. During the film one may get caught up in the tale and really care about the characters, but once the lights come on the film is already beginning to do a fast fade in the memory. I have yet to want to see a film based on Grisham's work a second time; the films provide only superficial en- tertainment that would yield no further pleasure upon repeated viewing. Like the two Grisham works before it, The Client is good but far from great. On a scale of one to ten, The Client rates a seven. Roddn' Me! Classic rock legend Steve Miller performed at Walnut Creek Saturday. Photo by Leslie Petty True Zjestums out to be a trued � c:irM By Ike Shibley Staff Writer Arnold Schwarzenegger's newest film, True Lies, reunites the actor with director James Cameron. Schwarzenegger's greatest success has been when he has teamed with Cameron. Cameron vaulted Schwarzenegger into superstardom with a starring role in The Terminator, then together they made the largest grossing picture of both their careers when they created Terminator II. Cameron's previous work, which also includes Aliens and The Abyss, has garnered him a place as one of the most success- ful directors working in Holly- wood today. Cameron has always relied on great special effects and an all-out assault on the senses to create some of the best action ever filmed for the silver screen. With the reported $120 mil- lion spent on the making of True Lies one would expect that the film rivals Terminator U for spe- cial effects. Instead what True Lies delivers is fifteen minutes of tame James Bond-style action in the beginning, a chase involving a motorcycle and a horse in the middle, and a blowout finale in- volving helicopters and jets. Those three scenes account for maybe fifty minutes of film time which is only one-third of the movie. The rest of True I tes lazily unfolds at a lethargic pace. To try to compensate for the lull, Cameron includes plenty of hu- mor in the film. Most of the humor in True Lies comes from Tom Arnold's character Gibb. Gibb and Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) work for the Omega Section of the Fed- eral Government in an effort to make the world safe from terror- ists. The main hook of the story is that Harry's wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) does not know that he is a spy. She thinks her husband sells computers. True Lies plays on Helen's ig- norance and thus is more a com- edy than an action film telling him that just because Last Action Hero failed at the box office he could not assume that all his ac- tion comedies would do so. Schwarzenegger may have had the right idea, though. The com- edy in True Lies is funny, and sometimes downright hilarious, but the film cries out to be an action film with some comedy sprinkled in, not the other way around. One of the main problems with True Lies is that Cameron lacks a sense of timing in the film. He drags scenes on far too long and plays out some jokes way too often. One plot element involv- ing a used car salesman named Simon (Bill Paxton) is initially funny then becomes tedious. An erotic dance done by Helen seems to go on forever and an interroga- tion scene involving Helen needed to be trimmed by several See LIES page 6 CDReviews- CD Revi CD Review tp$ Take Your Chances Worth A Try JlJlJJHighly Recommended! Deconstruction Self-Titled � Why is it that so much of the music that's come out in the last few months has been so long and boring? I mean, if you're not into seven-minute guitar drones, this has been kind of a lean summer for new music. Did the Ramones teach us nothing? Get into the song, say what you have to say, and for God's � ke get out before people get bored. I have nothing against musical exploration, but if you let it go over five minutes, at least make sure you're explor- ing something interesting. Too many bands are simply rehash- ing the same three chords. The latest entry in this tire- some trend is the self-titled debut album from Deconstruction. Formed by Eric Avery and Dave Navarro, former members of de- funct alternative rock power- house Jane's Addiction, Deconstruction has some inter- esting things to say. They just don't say them very well. The main problem here is tim- ing. Bass player and vocalist Avery has written some intrigu- ing songs, based around life in modern media-blitzed America. In "One for example, Avery dis- cusses how television has created a global community, centered around our one God, "the only window in the house the only window that matters television. His delivery of the lyrics, how- ever, is strung out so slowly over Navarro's surprisingly sluggish guitar work that you don't care anymore by the time he gets to the point. The best example of this phe- nomenon is the seven-minute te- dious guitar extravaganza "America Arguably the best track on the album, this rune starts off with the interesting compari- son, "I was America this morn- ing It then takes you on a drive past an overturned truck. "Isaw a fireman Avery sings, "with hands filled with frightened bloody Mexican faceI rolled by eating my Egg McMuffin and I didn't care Getting fatter and -5 � '�'�� uncaring, I was America . Gripping stuff, at least wh�v you get it all in one shot. Unfofc tunately, it takes about threes minutes to get the above lines; out. Hampered by Avery'sslug gish delivery and the two sepa rate (and relatively uninterest- ing) guitar solos, the song is. ruined. Clocking in at a bloated 72 � minutes, Deconstruction features few songs that are under sbt , minutes, and that's just too long to listen to stuff like this It would be different if the album" � offered a variety of sound, or if ; the music actually went some- where. But Deconstruction plods along at the same pace through- out, with mushy guitars that start to sound far too familiar about four songs in. I read once that, back in the early days of Jane's Addiction Jane's frontman Perry Ferrell broke Dave Navarro of playing in the blues tradition and forced him to constantly push himself and experiment. If that's the case, Deconstruction could use somebody like Ferrell now to give them a swift kick in the ass. � Mark Brett 6 The East Carolinian July 27, 1994 Chapel Hill bands search for fame LIES Continued from page 5 � CHAPEL HILL, N.C.(AP) � Stpott spells his name with two Vs, but he doesn't pronounce it that way. "The second T is silent he says. The name � short for Stacy l4iilpott � sounds less bizarre vfhen compared with some oth- ers on the rock scene in this col- lege town. With bands named Evil V? iener, Superchunk and Archers of Loaf, no one bats an eye at Spott. Spott works at Merge Records, an independent record campany operating in a nonde- s�ript brick building in nearby Cjriboro. Merge is owned by two members of Superchunk, one of trie most successful bands to sjjring up here. Chapel Hill offers three ne- cessities for a fertile rock scene: a club that allows unknown bands ut perform, a rqcord store that sells their music and a ra- dio station that plays it. Now if the bands can just get a handle on this name thing. Take Superchunk as an example. A former drummer, Chuck Garri- son, was accidentally listed in the phone book as Chunk Garrison. So he gave the name Chunk to the group. But another group had laid claim to that name. So the band become Superchunk. Garrison now plays with three other groups, including Small 23, formerly Small. That group also changed its name be- cause another band already had it. Some good advice for new rock bands: " With the one-word, one-syl- lable thing, there's probably al- ready somebody with that name says Steve Akin, 29, a former band member who now works at Schoolkids Records. A band called June has avoided such problems. A few of the other local bands made sure, coming up with such long names as Squirrel Nut Zipper, Chicken Wire Gang, Southern Culture on the Skids and What Peggy Wants. These bands and others are part of the burgeoning rock scene here that has some asking if it will be the next Seattle, home of grunge rock bands such as Nir- vana and Pearl Jam. The answer from those in- volved is no, and they don't want to be. It's the big record compa- nies who are hoping they can tap another Seattle by promoting moneymaking bands. For a lot of Chapel Hill bands, money isn't everything. Superchunk has had offers from major labels, but turned them down to stay with Merge, which is owned by band mem- bers Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance. The group has sold about 35,000 copies of its latest CD, "Foolish It's the band's fifth CD, and it earned a mere pittance com- pared to the millions some groups make off their releases. "That's a whole differ- ent level that we've chosen not to be a part of said McCaughan, 26. "As long as we can make the records that we want to make and put them out ourselves and not have to answer to any- body and still make a living at it, then we're happy doing that Superchunk has rejected ma- jor labels because the group wants to maintain control. "Once someone starts putting lots of money into a record, it becomes their record, and they expect something out of you said McCaughan, who sings and plays guitar. So fame is OK, but not a re- quirement. Talent isn't even a re- quirement here. "There's developed over the years a culture that says that if you and three of your friends get together and bang on some in- struments, somebody will let you play says Bill Burton, a local entertainment lawyer who's also involved with WXYC, the Uni- versity of North Carolina's radio station. This acceptance allows bands to improve and flourish, he says. So fame is CK, but not a requirement. Talent isn't even a requirement here. minutes. Essentially, True Lies needed an editor with a sharp pair of scissors to excise much of the needles film footage. Several well placed snips could easily have brought the running time of True Lies to under two hours which would have made the film much easier to recommend. Cameron seems to think that every film he makes needs to ex- ceed two hours in order to be considered a serious work of art. But True Lies is such an inconse- quential story with such shallow characters that the excessive length only serves to make the viewer painfully aware of how hard Cameron is trying to con- vince the audience (and maybe himself) that True Lies merits such a prodigious length. Finding inconsistencies within the plot would be as easy as finding peanuts in a can of mixed nuts. Cameron's script uses plot devices at random without any thought as to how they might tie into the story. The head of Omega Section (Charleston Heston) appears in the first few scenes and then is never seen again. Harry rescues Helen by heli- copter from a car that is out of control but why Helen does not just move the dead driver and step on the brake is never ex- plained. One of the most blatant in- consistencies occurs because Cameron obviously felt that a real action film has to have a torture scene. Harry is to be interrogated to find information yet it is clear that Harry has nothing new he could tell the terrorists. What is BLUES worse is that only a few hours ago the terrorists tried to assas- sinate him yet for some reason they now want to talk to him. In addition to this, the island where Harry is to be tortured is set to be blown up so the interrogator would die thus making any in- formation he gets from Harry useless. The real torture in the scene is having to watch it. Once again this summer a large scale, big budget film like True Lies has been overshadowed by the brilliance of a much smaller, less expensive (only $30 million) film called Speed. True Lies should have served notice that Schwarzenegger had rebounded from the negative press of Last Action Hero. Instead it serves notice that Schwarzenegger pictures are no longer a sure bet for quality en- tertainment. Neither are James Cameron pictures a sure bet either. Though Terminator II performed well at the box office, its artistic merits are dubious. It was much more concerned with making a state- ment about world peace than tell- ing a great story. The Abyss held together as a work of art until the last twenty minutes and that fail- ure can be directly attributed to Cameron since he wrote the screenplay. Cameron needs to rekindle the fire that raised The Termina- tor and Aliens to such artistic heights. The dark, apocalyptic world he created transfixed the viewer. Now he settles for dull action, cheap thrills, and politi- cal messages. On a scale of one to ten, True Lies rates a six. Continued from page 5 you were going to die?" Roy Selridge (Eric Cross) would make love to the richest seven women on Earth. Joseph Wykowski (David J. Berberian) would make love to the queen of England (the current queen's mother). Don Carney would perform five shows a day, singing in Carnegie Hall to 4,000 women who were crazy about him, then sign a record contract. James Hennesey (David Denson) would go home. Hennesey provides some of the few dramatic moments, as when he helps end the racism against Jews by revealing that he is half Black. The character is also involved the only tension, when one of the sol- diers is caught engaging in a homo- TAKE A BREAK at Mexican Restaurant 2? sexual act with a soldier from an- other barracks. Everyone suspects Arnold, especially since it had been revealed that Eugene had written in his journal that he sus- pected that Arnold was gay. It turns out that Hennesey is the one who was guilty. The shock of hav- ing him leave draws the remain- ing soldiers closer together. The female characters seem to exist mainly to allow Eugene to meet two of his goals. A visit to Rowena (Kate Finlayson), the lo- cal prostitute (though only on weekends, so one of the charac- ters claims she is only "semi-pro- fessional"), allows Eugene to lose his virginity, as well as providing the opportunity for numerous jokes about sex by Eugene's friends. Daisy Hannigan (Alecia B. Hillis) gives Eugene a "good girl" to fall in love with. Eugene meets her at a USO dance, and soon discovers a common interest in literature. She also provides fod- der for jokes about interracial ro- mance. Of course, in a Neil Simon play, the whole purpose of every character is to provide fodder for jokes. His plays are not the place to look for new and incisive in- sights on the human condition. He just provides simple, humor- ous entertainment.

Felp BIT'S make room �vpapap :�� �� � � � The East Carolinian July 27. 1994 Sports Page 7 Hart denies Maryland offer By Brian Olson Sports Editor The ECU athletic program might have gained one of its biggest victories of 1994 when ECU Athletic Director Dave Hart declined the offer to com- pete for the Athletic direcor po- sition at the University of Mary- land. "I was contacted by the University of Marlyand regard- ing their search for a director of athletics Hart said in a state- ment released Friday. "I made it clear that my focus needed to remain on what we are trying to accomplish at East Carolina and, therefore, I was not inter- ested in pursuing the job at the University of Marlyand Hart could not be reached for additional comments be- cause he is on vacation. Over the past month, Hart's name was mentioned as a candidate among two others. Athletic Director Kevin White of Tulane and Debbie Yow of St. Louis Maryland's former Ath- letic Director, Andy Geiger, left in April to enter the position at Ohio State. According to The News and Observer, Hart and White, serv- ing as consultants, met last Wednesday with the Maryland search committee and will join Yow on a referral list to be sent to Maryland president William Kirwan. Yow visited with the search committee last week. ECU Chancellor Dr. Rich- ard Eakin said that Hart was never a candidtate. Instead, Eakin explained that Hart met several weeks ago, not last Dave Hart Wednesday, as only a consult- ant for ways to improve the $6 million debt at Maryland and successful ways to hire a new athletic director. Geiger, who was hired by the Terps to replace Dick Dull in 1990, visited Maryland as a consultant to the search com- mittee before his appointment to the job was announced a few days later. Ironically, Hart also was a Terps candidate in 1990, according to the newspaper. Hart has been at ECU since 1987 and has moved the ECU program up the ladder of suc- cess. Hart's name has been men- tioned to conference commit- tees and other schools over the years, but he has been dedi- cated to the ECU program. "Dave Hart is an extremely talented athletic director Eakin said. "I value very much the working relationship we have. I believe he has caused our athletic program to ad- vance significantly under his leadership. I look forward to continuing our fine working relationship Dreams really come true for U.S. players (AP) � Don Nelson will open 'with a short lineup from his USA Dream Team II squad in its first international exhibition. And to no one's surprise, Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning of the Charlotte Hornets are among thestartingfive when the U.S. team plays here tonight against the Ger- man National Team. "I'm not stupid Nelson said Monday, laughing about his selec- tion of the hometown players for thegameatCharlotteColiseum. "I know where we're playing Nelson's lineup includes the 6-foot-7 Johnson and 6-foot-10 Mourning along with 6-foot-l Kevin Johnson, 6-foot-7 Reggie Miller and 6-foot-6 Dan Majerle. Nelson said he'll use different combinations of players in the ex- hibition, much like he's expected to do next month when the team plays in the World Championships in Toronto. "We have a deep roster he said. The squad arrived in Charlotte on Monday after several days of drills in Chicago. Dominique Wilkins, who announced his sign- ing with the Celtics during the camp, flew to Boston for a physical before coming to Charlotte. He ar- rived midway through practice, changed clothes and joined the workout. Wilkins, who's never played by international rules before, says he's not worried about the trap- ezoidal free-throw lane nor the quick style of play. "We're ready for it said Wilkins who should get a lot of playing time despite nursing an ankle injury. "It doesn't matter whetherifsinternational or Ameri- can rules. We're going to be ready to play no matter what. Our goal is to go out there and just kick butt Nelson said the team is ready though some of the camp was spent getting some of his players physi- cally prepared.

Brazil players refuse duties At tlt i.i. l��i i.liii.j .i .i . . (AP) � They left the United States as World Cup champions, saints in cleats, symbols of hope in a country bled by official waste and corruption. Aday after coming home, they were tax cheats, shameless smug- glers, symbols of selfishness and greed. Theplayersandstaff of Brazil's national soccer team went from idols to scoundrels last Wednes- day by refusing to pay $1 million of customs duhes on personal items bought in the United States during the World Cup. The dispute spiked the eupho- ria that swept across this soccer- crazed country and triggered a scandal that muddied the presi- dent, the finance minister and the head of the Brazilian Soccer Con- federation. The nation's tax chief quit in disgust the day after President Itamar Franco overruled his order and told customs officials at Rio's international airport to wave through all excess luggage on the team plane. All 17.4 tons of it. "Nobody can be above the law said Osires Lopes Filho, who resigned as federal revenue secre- tary. "Everyone, not only the middle class and the poor, must pay taxes The debacle touched off a na- tionwide debate on ethics in Brazil, a country where authoritarianism, nepotism and paternalism form a recipe for sharp social and eco- nomic inequalities. "What a sad spectacle said the newsweekly Veja, in a cover story htled "The Star Smugglers "The team missed a great chance to show us thateven heroes must comply with obligations and laws every Brazilian must follow the magazine said in an editorial. Signs of trouble began to ap- pear the day after the World Cup final when the Varig DC-10 carry- ing the 97-member delegahon was delayed for four hours in Los An- geles because of excessive weight. After marathon parades in Recife and Brasilia, the delegahon arrived in Rio close to midnight Tuesday for a four-hour hcker-tape parade for an estimated 1 million fans. Brazilian law permits citizens to bring up to $500 worth of items purchased abroad into the country duty free. That's why customs officials got suspicious when five, 30-foot- long moving trucks rolled up to drive the team's luggage to the hotel. The unloading took time. Among other things were 18 tele- vision sets, computers, refrigera- tors, fax machines, laser printers, microwave ovens, gymnastics equipment, a barbecue grill, dish- washers and even a leather horse saddle. Customs officials estimated that defenders Jorginhoand Branco brought back a combined total of $8,800 in electronics and housewares. Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira had $5,000 worth of com- puter and TV equipment. All in all, about $1 million in duhes had to be paid. Lopes Filho ordered the bag- gage held and inspected. An hour of ranting and raving went on be- tween the delegahon and the air- port customs officials. Ricardo Teixeira, the confed- eration president, called the stars down from the fire truck that would escort them through Rio. They re- moved the merit medals awarded at the presidential palace and threatened to boycott the parade. "We didn't smuggle any- thing said scoring ace Rpmario. "We represented Brazil before 2 billion people around the world. If they don't release my luggage, I'm giving back my medal. "� It was midnight. In any other country the victory parade might have been postponed until morn- ing. But in the land where soccer is almost a religion, a call came from the presidential palace. The order from Finance Minis- ter Rubens Ricupero: Let the bag- gage through, uninspected. Let the party go on. Easy does it! Just because summer school is coming to an end, don't get lazy, stay in shape. File Photo Strange describes Open (AP) � The U.S. Open does strange things to people.

Leroy Burrell, who set the world record of 9.85 earlier this month, finished wi th a surge to take second in 10.11. jon Drummond was third in 10.12 and Carl Lewis fourth in 10.23. Mitchell finally shook his third- place tag. He had won plenty of bronze medals, including at the 1992 Olympics and the 1991 and 1993 World Championships. Now, he can lay a legitimate claim to being the world's best sprinter. "I want to live up to the tradi- tion of a cocky sprinter and say I am Mitchell said. Ukraine's Sergei Bubka may no longer be able to say he's the world's best pole vaulter. In a major upset, the world record-holder finished third behind two Russians. Gwen Torrence completed a sweep of the women's sprints, win- ning the 200 meters in a Games' record 22.09, and Jackie Joyner- Kersee, the world record-holder in the heptathlon and seeking her third straight Goodwill title, built a 109- point lead after four events. The final three heptathlon events�the long jump, javelin and 800 meters�were scheduled for to- day. Other key events included the men's mile, f ea turing world record- holder Noureddine Morceli of Al- DREAM geria, and the long jump with woT-ld record-holder Mike Powell.
