The East Carolinian VoL69No.45 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Tuesday, September 20,1994 12 Pages ECU displays growing minority enrollment By Wendy Rountree Staff Writer ECU actively recruits mi- nority students for undergradu- ate enrollment and has one of the best rates in the state for graduating minority students, said Dr. Brian Haynes, director of the Office of Minority Student Affairs. "According to thelatestfig- ures that we have, last year mi- nority students were about thir- teen percent of the overall stu- dent population on campus he said. "Our minority student population is not the highest in the state, but it is somewhere upper to middle of the pack. So, we are very proud of that and, of course, are looking to improve on those num- bers Haynes said out of the total of 17,750 students last year, 1,600 were African- Americans, 213 were Asian-Americans, 144 were His- panic-Americans and 79 were Na- tive-Americans. "By those figures there, you can see the vast number of the minority students on campus was that of African-Americans he said. Haynes said the Admissions Office aggressively recruits minor- ity students, particularly African- American students. Because of the history of the state of North Caro- lina in dealing with minority stu- dents, ECU and other state univer- sities are mandated by the state to seek minority students. ECU has a high number of minority students who graduate within five years. Haynes said he feels the key to the high gradua- tion rate is the large number of minority students who remain at the university for their entire un- dergraduate career. "One of the things we are very, very proud of and pleased with is our retention rate of Afri- can-American students here at East Carolina University hesaid. "Ac- cording to the last data that we have, retention for African-Ameri- can students as full-time freshmen at ECU was 86.9 percent. That means that of the 251 African- American students who entered ECU in the fall of 1992, 86.9 per- cent were here in the fall of 1993. That is an extremely high percent- age and well above the national norm Haynes said on the national level, the graduation rate for Afri- can-American students who attend predominately white institutions is about 30 percent. Within the state, about40 percent of African-Ameri- cans graduate from the state's pre- dominately white universities in five years. ECU's graduation rate is constant with the state's average. "This is slightly higher than the national average but still rela- tively low when compared with other groups of students on cam- pus he said. To aid minority student re- tention and ultimately graduation, the Office of Minority Affairs offers a number of services. " The office's main respon- sibility is to ensure that minority students' stay on campus is as positive as possible he said. Haynes said the office of- fers mentoring services and as- sists in finding tutors. Also, the office advises student groi ips and works with the university union and other departments to bring minority-type programs to the campus. "Those are just some of the simple things we do to assist mi- nority students to graduation hesaid. Students work in Third World country By Andy Turner Staff Writer While many students spent this summer enjoying lazy days on the beach or working a part- time job, a nine-member group of ECU students and professors traveled toQuezaltanango, Gua- temala, to work with Habitat for Humanity International. The volunteer group made cement blocks, chiseled rock from the side of a mountain to clear a lot, dug through lava and rock to lower the floor in a house and inventoried building sup- plies currently on hand at the local Habitat office. In order to complete these tasks, the volun- teers worked alongside the fami- lies who would inhabit the dwell- ings after their completion. The volunteers did more than just physical tasks. They learned about the living conditions of a third world country and felt that they had bonded with the families thev had worked with. "I learned a lot of patience said Karen Benson, a senior an- thropology major. "I saw the true meaning of what it is to survive. You really realize how lucky you are as a U.S. citizen. "People in this country are very impatient and intolerant of different types of people. Technol- ogy has set us back Benson got a little more thanshe bargained for when she contracted an anemic deciendary. "I stayed in a public hospi- tal. It looked like a barn Benson said. "Nobody spoke English,but people treated me really good. Technology was not very good Despite having to stay in a hospital, Benson enjoyed work- ing with the Habitat for Human- ity and plans to go back to South America sometime in the future. "I applied for a job with the Habitat for Humanity Benson said. "I would like to get a job in South America. I am going back with or without the Habitat orga- nization, maybe for graduation. "It is a good experience for anybody caught up with the stress of this country. I really learned a lot of patience The main goal of the Habitat For Humanity International is for people in need to have decent homes in decent communities. "It helps faculty and students in understanding the third world said Dr. Rick Barnes, associate pro- fessor of health education. "It was a tremendous opportunity to see the differences between a regulated and unregulated society Barnes used his health edu- cation experience to help citizens, many of whom are illiterate, to leam basic sanitation issues such as making drinking water safe.

In the past, Greek Week was held during the spring se- mester as a celebration of the hard work accomplished dur- ing the fall. This year, however, Greek Week moved to the fall to help strengthen fall rush. "During this time of year, people are more active said IFC President, John Ezzell. "Placing Greek Week right before rush helps a lot with publicity The move is only one aspect of the plan to strengthen the Greek system. IFC also sponsored "Go Greek" seminars during summer orientation to welcome new stu- dents to the program. "As a result of 'Go Greek we saw a greater interest in the system, from both students and their parents said rush chair- man Rob Senseney. "We acted as a soundboard for freshmen with questions IFC sees this as a good build- ing block for a strong year. Each night of Greek Week consisted of activities sponsored by different fraternities or sororities. The Al- pha Xi Delta Sorority kicked it all off last Sunday night with their annual Greek God contest at The Attic. Throughout the week, vari- ous events kept the enthusiasm going strong, and the last party featured a band at the Phi Kappa Tau house on Saturday night. "We had a great turnout this year Ezzell said. "We're hoping all that enthusiasm reinforces a strong rush For the next three nights, ev- ery fraternity will take part in rush. Beginning at 8 p.m men inter- ested in Greek life will have the opportunity to meet the brothers of each house and catch a glimpse of what the system is all about. Each fraternity sponsors its own rush by providing food and drinks, and IFC will provide bus transportation from Mendenhall to each of the rush locations. Fra- ternities without houses usually Piof gets look at real politics By Katy Newton Staff Writer An ECU professor spent eight months rubbing elbows with Washington politicians during the height of the health care debate. As a member of the 41st class of Congressional Fellows, political science pro- fessor Dr. Sean Kelly learned more about the political pro- cess through hands-on experi- ence. The fellowship was spon- sored by the American Politi- cal Science Association, and Kelly won his position by par- ticipating in a competitive, na- tionwide application process. "It gives a handful of Con- gressional Scholars an oppor- tunity to deepen their under- standing of Congress by work- ing inside Congress as a pro- fessional staff member Kelly said. After participating in a month-long academic orienta- tion, Kelly joined the staff of the Senate democratic Policy Committee, which is chaired by Senator Mitchell of Maine. While working on the com- mittee, Kelly focused entirely on health care. His job was to edu- cate himself about the democratic health care plan and then to au- thor most of the materials that the Democratic Policy Commit- tee would dispense to other Con- gress members and to the media. Kelly noted that while most Congressional Fellows worked for individual Congress mem- bers, his job with the Democratic Policy Committee gave him the opportunity to interact with and observe many members of Con- gress in several different contexts. "Working at the DPC, it's not so much that I worked with a single member, I worked with all the democratic members, and so I could get into 'senators only' meetings where I could see sena- tors interact with one another Kelly said. "I got to observe quite a bit and that's a very different experience from sitting in a back room somewhere, writing con- stituent lettersor putting together briefs on Whitewater Kelly's firsthand observa- tions of the democratic process allowed him to come to his own conclusions about how his gov- ernment works, especially with respect to the health care issue. "I'm a little disappointed by the fact that the debate over health care did not focus as much on substance as I hoped that it would Kelly said. "Healthcare isn't, and shouldn't be, a parti- san issue Kelly's colleagues in the ECU Political Science Depart- ment have been enthusiastic about his opportunity. "We are very pleased that Dr. Kelly received this presti- gious fellowship which will ben- efit greatly the university as well as his teaching said Dr. David Conradt, chairman of the Politi- cal Science Department. Kelly is happy to be back at ECU and looks forward to set- tling down and concentrating on his research and his teaching. He plans on writing about his expe- rience as a Congressional Fellow and is excited about incorporat- ing what he has learned into his classes. hold rush in rented party rooms or sorority houses. Traditionally, Fall Rush has been stronger than Spring Rush. This is due, in part, to a more collegiate atmosphere during the fall. IFC hopes it can change that. Last week, Senseney was elected as new secretary for the execu tive board, and, along with other board members, has begun planning up- coming events. "Our goal is to strengthen the system Senseney said. "I'd like to see IFC attain its strong organization status again � � � Greenville considers curfew By Tully Beatty Carter seeks peace in Haiti (AP) � The figurehead president of Haiti pleaded for calm when American troops landed Monday to enforce an agreement that will oust the military leaders and restore exiled President Jean- Bertrand Aristide to power. The last-minute accord, reached Sunday after President Clinton ordered American para- troopers into the air, halted a land, sea and air assault by American forces. The capital was generally quiet after midnight, but there was scattered gunfire earlier after an American delegation headed by former President Jimmy Carter ended two days of intense talks with Lt. Gen Raoul Cedras and Brig Gen. Philippe Biamby, army chief of staff. The generals who toppled Aristidein September 1991 backed down in the face of overwhelm- ing military might and agreed to let American forces enter the coun- try peacefully to oversee the trans- fer of power. Haiti's 81-year-old presi- dent, Emile Jonassant, went on television just before midnight to announce he had signed the ac- cord and asked his "Haitianbroth- ers" to maintain calm. "You may go to sleep knowing that there will not be any invasion he said. "I don't know what's going to happen said Brutus Talma, a hotel security guard. "Only the Haitian soldiers know if they're going to make trouble for the American soldiers He echoed the uncertainty about what happens next in Haiti, a desperately poor Caribbean na- tion wracked by violence and with no tradition of democracy. There was no immediate comment from Aristide, who has been living in exile in the United States since the coup that drove him from power. The agreement did not name Aristide or say when he would return. Although Aristide is revered by much of Haiti's impoverished majority, there were no displays of public jubilation at word of his promised return. Thousands of people fled the capital in recent days, anticipat- See HAITI page 4 Staff Writer Following the ex- amples of larger cities, Greenville will soon discuss the much-debated option of enforcing a curfew for juve- niles. The Greenville City Council will hold a Com- munity Meeting tomorrow at 4:00p.m. at theCityCoun- cil Chambers, City Hall.

(AP) � NASA watched uncertain Florida weather Monday, hoping to bring Discovery home after a 10-day mission that included climate research, robotic manufac- turing and the first untethered spacewalk since 1984. The space shuttle and its six astronauts were set to land at Cape Canaveral, Fla at 2:23 p.m. EDT, but stormy weather was fore- cast. NASA could send the shuttle to Edwards Air Force Base in Califor- nia later in the day instead. "It's been a great mission to planet Earth MissionControl told the crew in this morning's wake- up call. "I think it's safe to say we've demonstrated a new tech- nology for studying our planet's atmosphere. Unfortunately, ifs time to return "Well, you never can tell replied commander Richard Richards. "Maybe our planet's at- mosphere will keep us up here one more day Discovery pilot L. Blaine Hammond Jr. said the crew was looking forward to some earthly pleasures�showers, for one. "It's pretty fatiguing up here Hammond said Sunday. "I think a lot of us are looking forward to getting home, getting a good shower and some good old earth- bound things we enjoy. "However,of course, I think given another day or so to be up here ifwe had thechance, we'd all jump at it just because it's an opportunity so rare he said. The astronauts, launched into orbit Sept. 9, achieved every- thing they set out to do. They re- leased and retrieved a sun-gazing satellite, collected data on shuttle ' exhaust plumes and assisted j ground controllers with a weather- scanning laser. The high point was Friday's seven hour spacewalk by Mark Lee and Carl Meade, using a slimmed-down version of the jet pack employed in the last untethered spacewalk 10 years ago.

The Irish Republican Army's declaration of an open- ended truce has raised hopes that peace may be at hand at last in the British province, where 25 years of sectarian and political strife has killed more than 3,100 people. Roman Catholic nationalists who seek an end to British rule and unification with Ireland want Washington to help get Sinn Fein, the IRA-allied political party, in- volved as soon as possible in peace talks. Pro-British Protestants want to dampen U.S. enthusiasm for the 19-day-old IRA truce.

Under Sunday's agreement, Haiti's dictators agreed to step down as soon as the Haitian par- liament passes an amnesty law to protect the coup leaders and their supporters from retribution. The pact requires this happen by Oct. 15. The agreement does not re- quire Cedras to leave Haiti or even mention him by name. He did not sign the agreement�that was left to Jonassaint.

Britain is pressing the Clinton administration to with- hold a visa until Adams makes clear that the IRA truce is per- manent In January, Clinton over- turned longstandingU.S. policy and gave Adams a 48-hour visa to address a New York confer- ence on Northern Ireland. Huge media attention transformed Adams into the best-known Northern Ireland politician in America, but also put pressure on him to deliver an open-ended IRA truce. Sinn Fein now hopes to cultivate more sympathy in Washington and sell its retooled peace message to the Irish- American grass roots on both coasts. Britain says Sinn Fein can't take part in peace talks until Lon- don is assured the violence has stopped for good. Sinn Fein strategists think U.S. support for early talks be- tween Sinn Fein and British offi- cials could tip the scales in their direction.

Burke held that every member of society had a responsibility to uphold society's traditions to those who lived in the past, those who live in the present and those who will live in the future. While not quite ready to completely endorse such a sense of corporate responsibility, the editors of TEC feel that those who have inherited a national treasure such as major league baseball have such an obligation. Baseball has long been considered the American game. For much of this century, Americans followed baseball passionately. The heroes of those days � Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, etc. � are still cultural icons today, in ways that Michael Jordan, Shaq O'Neal and Joe Montana will never be. Baseball is also the sport most associated with tradition. The game is still played with nearly the same rules today as it was in the 1920s. The film of a game of the 1950s looks like a black-and-white version of today's games. However, this grand tradition is being ruined by both sides in the current labor dispute. Both the players and the owners make hundreds of millions of dollars every year. The sight of the two sides fighting over a few million dollars is like seeing two four-hundred-pound men fighting over a Twinkie. It is a sickening and disgusting sight � no wonder most Americans think that both sides are wrong. Moreover, they are damaging more than just the reputation of baseball. Around 30,000 jobs have been lost due to the strike. Since only 700 of these are actual playing jobs, this means that thousands of everyday citizens that do the real work in baseball� vendors, groundskeepers and the myriad of other jobs needed to put on a major league game � are without a job today. Major league baseball managed to put on a World Series during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam and the San Francisco Earthquake. To have the Fall Classic canceled for the first time in 90 years due such a trivial reason may be more than the sport can stand. Even if the strike is somehow settled this winter and play begins next spring, bitter memories of this appalling behavior will linger for years. And rightly so. We should be reluctant to forgive either side for their intolerable greed and insensitivity to the people who really make the game possible � the fans. American education taken over by feds On March 31,1994, President Clinton signed a document that seeks to improve America's educational system�Goals 2000: Educate America Act. But do not be fooled, Goals 2000 hopes to do much more than raise a child's SAT score. While nationalizing the education system, the law will allow the federal government to direct the inner workings of our nation's schools. They hope to accomplish the latter by directing educators to follow prescribed course contents, to utilize particular textbooks, to meet their set achievement standards and much more. Soon after the president signed his education legislation into law, The New York Times called it a "federal blueprint to educate our children Given the track record of other federal blue prints, I am understandably concerned about the future of our youth who will eventually - be our nation's leaders. Other federal blueprints that boasted worthwhile ends such as cutting taxes, balancing the budget and even restoring principled behavior in the White House have of course failed. I do not believe that President Clinton should be trusted with educating our children for several reasons, namely his open embrace of the gay lifestyle. But if you are seeking reassurance concerning this issue from elsewhere within the Clinton Administration, perhaps you can find solace in the opinion of our illustrious Attorney General, Janet Reno. While federal education doctrine states that schooling should begin in the womb and end in the tomb, Reno too has jumped on the bandwagon by declaring that we need to focus on the early stages of children's lives�particularly between ages zero and three. I found this to be very comforting coming from a childless person who bears responsibility for the Waco debacle � where children were gassed and burned to death. Inherent to federal efforts to educate kids are programs that ostensible allow children to engage in values clarification. It sounds pleasant, but an aspect of values clarification is that it favorably addresses the homosexual lifestyle. Given the track record of other federal blue prints, I am concerned about the future of our youth. Children in many schools are told that homosexuality is nothing more than different, and not at all unacceptable. Through such timeless classics as Daddy's Roommate and Heather Has Two Mommies, gay activists have been permitted to infiltrate our nation's schools. And if the ethical standards you wish to impart to your child do not match what the school says, the government dictated education system will happily re- educate the youth by professing what the state deems as moral. It reminds me of a quote form Adolf Hitler: "When an opponent declares, 'I will not come to your side I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already With schools in our country that celebrate "National Coming Out Day" as a high holy day, I do By Steven A. Hill not doubt that our nation's children are being indoctrinated with the ideology of Gay Rights. New York Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, an avowed lesbian, confirms my worst fears: "I think that the reality is that most parents themselves have tremendous prejudice and bigotry that have been passed on for generations And the reality is that we as a society must provide a counterbalance to what kids are obviously learning at home The preceding quote paves the way for government social workers to enter every home to insure that you are raising your child "correctly At a minimum, government educational designs are going to further diminish the status of the family. This sounds ironic since these nefarious ambitions are promoted by our president, who claims to be concerned about the welfare of the family in American society. A Stanford University professor asserted recently that government run schools are involved in "unrelenting guerrilla warfare against the traditional values of society and against the very role of families in making decisions about their children At least one of the Founding Fathers believed that a government that governs least governs best � and I agree. President Clinton seems hell- bent on doing just the opposite �everything from crime control to health care is being usurped by federal muscle. Efforts to centralize the educational system are dangerous. President Clinton, or any other government official, is the last person I want teaching my child right from wrong. Salutations show lack of concern for others Salutations. The following trite and empty expressions can be heard being uttered somewhere by someone on any given day: "What's up?" "What's happening?" and the most commonplace of all, "How are you?" These already overly-used greetings are not only irritating owing to their habitual use but also because of the lack of sincerity with which most people say them. When someone say, "how are you?" it is generally intended in a rhetorical sense and does not call for a response. At least such is the reality of the phrase's use in our society. One usually hears the standard "How are you?" in two common cases: passing a stranger on the street or being greeted by a receptionist at a public place such as a bank or a hospital. "How are you?" is the accepted obligatory greeting that most people use to acknowledge each other in a sociably-indifferent manner. In any case, it is commonly used between persons that have no personal connection � a formal and bureaucratic greeting. Some readers will no doubt object to the hospital reference and view it's inclusion as unwarranted. At a hospital, one would expect that the employees there were genuinely concerned about the welfare of the patients. Right? However, this writer can recall an instance when the first words spoken to him by a hospital receptionist were actually "Do you have insurance?" After establishing the fact that I did have insurance, then I was asked "How are you?" If I did not have insurance would the receptionist have even extended the perfunctory "How are you?" I wonder? Apparently, today's fast- paced does not have the time to stop and inquire about the contentedness of its fellow members, much less take the time to think of a new greeting besides that of the insipid and nonchalant "How are you?" To those who actually read my last article on individuality by inventing a new greeting. After doing this, then I would try to get in tough with your own sense of humanity. Personally, I have grown weary of the same tired crap in our society. From superficial greetings to media-induced identities, the artificiality of American society and its plastic personalities is frankly nauseating. When are people going to remove the cloak of affectation? No one, including myself, is immune from what is rapidly becoming another contagious disease in the 90s, social indifference. The symptoms might be increased crime, an unstable economy and technological progress being crammed down our throats, but the only cure is a daily dosage of compassion for others. A sincere greeting extended to one's fellow man is the first step towards recovering from a bout with our own egocentric perspectives. Maybe Mignon McLaughlin was right when he said "No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why Perhaps our reluctance to actually stop and hear someone respond to being By H. White asked "How are you?" comes from the fear that not everyone's response will be the expected "Fine, thanks After all, you were nice enough to humble yourself and ask the person "How are you?" but does that mean that you should be subjected to someone else's true feelings or problems? I mean, do you have the time to worry whether the rest of society is happy or not? The other guy's problems are not your concern � not until the other guy's problems manifest themselves in your backyard anyway. Society's priorities concerning respect for individuals and their feelings is all screwed-up. We worry about our own happiness, while others tormented by loneliness and discontent pass us by in "quiet desperation" or end up taking their lives, so that the rest of society does not have to be burdened by asking "How are you?" Most of society feels that it is easier just to deal with social problems from a monetary standpoint. If you are unhappy then money can be substituted in place of affection or kindness. The problem is money cannot compensate for basic human needs such as the need to belong. We can build more prisons, increase law enforcement and spend more money on going to therapy, but eventually someone is going to have to make the supreme sacrifice and ask in all sincerity "How are you?" A more appropriate greeting for the 90s might be "Are you happy?" rather than "How are you?' Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Once again, "The New and Disturber" showed its bias against ECU with its headline, "Reputation for Rowdiness" in the Sept. 10 paper. Steve Politi obviously knows very little about ECU if all he can talk about is what happened in 1987 at NC State. Get a grip and let it rest! I noticed there was no mention of the 1992 Peach Bowl victory when ECU defeated NC State with one incident. East Carolina is not a "party school but like other state universities, it definitely has a social atmosphere. Actually, ECU has an extremely diverse student body, but the one thing we all have in common is that everyone here is extremely friendly. Our students do not walk around with a chip on their shoulder, like at some other schools! The atmosphere in Greenville and ECU is the best you can find anywhere. If someone fails out of ECU they only have themselves to blame. College is what you make of it. If one chooses to party all the time, they will fail out no matter what school they attend. East Carolina has always had to struggle for everything it has achieved, and negative journalism such as the N&O's will not stop us now. I just hope that people who are not familiar with ECU do not let such a poorly written article influence their opinion on what a well-rounded and excellent school ECU really is. Troy S. Dreyfus President Sigma Alpha Epsilon To the Editor: Yesterday a recent article in the Raleigh New & Observer was brought to my attention. It was the story in which the Theta Chi President pounded his chest in defiance of good taste to boast of his and the university's insatiable thirst for partying. At no time in the four years I've spent at this school have I seen a better wake up call for us to clean up our act. To make the statements these students made do not reflect the true nature of what this school is about. It does, however, show a problem segment of the campus community that can no longer be ignored. Right now as a campus leader, (Student Union President) I am begging the faculty and staff, the media and every student at this school to CUT IT OUT! We are cursed in three ways. We have an anemic faculty and staff. Professors far more concerned with their research than their students, academic advisers that rarely advise and members higher up who only care about profit margins, enrollment any sic expansion and NOT student interests. We have a state paper who hates us (The Neios & Observer) and a pathetic school newspaper (pathetic). The East Carolinian rarely writes stories on campus alternatives to downtown, concentrate sic on entertainment of campus, and do sic nothing to promote that this school does have alot sic to offer. But last to blame myself and thousands of other students who choose not to stop the issue but only perpetuate it. I see who cares for the students and who doesn't. None of us have heard the last of this issue. We built this beast, now we have to kill it. Over the next few weeks a lot of fingers will be pointed but the one hardest to point will be at ourselves.

What, you may ask, is an X- Phile? Well, it's sort of the equiva- lent of a Trekkie, except instead of being addicted to Star Trek, an X-Phile is a devotee of the Fox Network's best-kept secret, "The X-Files X-Philes are often a bit paranoid, seeing conspiracies around every corner. They have a tendency to keep an eye on the night sky, furtively glancing up- ward to catch a glimpse of visi- tors. They also tend to wear more black than Trekkies, in general, and have cooler hair. "The X-Files" itself isa televi- sion show that plays to the fears A Drop in the Bucket By Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor "A Drop in live Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very small drop in tliegreatscreamingbucketcfAmeri- can media opinion. Takeitasyou will. "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip That'squiteapromise, isn'tit? You'dthinktherewouldbeagrand tale of adventure to follow, some tragically heroic myth cycle to illu- minate our culture. But, of course, aUthatreallyfollowedthosewords of great portent was "Gilligan's Island That didn't stop me from watching as a child, however. It didn't keep me from spending an obscene number of hours in front of the TV set, enticed by those words into an inexplicable fasci- nation with the show. And inexplicable is the word. "Gilligan's Island" had to be, con- sistenuy,oneoftheworstshowsin television history. Unlike most showsofthe'60s,Ican'tevenclaim that theblack-and-white episodes wereokay. Comparing "Gilligan" to its contemporaries makes the show look even worse! "Be- witched" had wackier stories. "Andy Griffith" had better scripts, acting, and direction. "Hogan's Heroes" had wittier gags. Even "The Beverly Hillbillies which was working on about the same no-brainer level as "Gilligan made better use of its stupidity and turned out some fine camp comedy. "Gilligan's Island" was about as vapid and empty as TV gets. Truly, "Gilligan'slsland" was horrible television. But it's still popular now, 30 years after its premiere broadcast. Thaf s right, "Gilligan's Island" debuted on Sept. 26,1964. It seems the closing theme was prophetic: the cast- awayshave indeed been there "for a long, long time I know, I know; technically, they escaped the is- land in those reunion movies. But those don't count. To me, they're still out there somewhere, in those same pristine clothes, just like on TBS. But we're avoiding the ques- tion here. Why is "Gilligan's Is- land" still so t "pular? In prepara- tion for writing this piece, I sat down in front of my TV to watch the show for the first time since I started college. It was every bit as bad as I remembered it being. No, strike that. It was worse. Infinitely worse. I couldn't help thinking back, though, to when I was a kid, and howmuchlreallyloved "Gilligan's Island I would rush home from school to see it, in fact. If my bus broke down, I was heart-broken. "They might be showing one of those Wrong-Way Feldmanshows today, or maybe the one with the Japanesesoldierwhodidn'tknow See BUCKET page 8 and interests of these people. It's about two FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who investigate paranormal activities. UFOs, genetic anomalies, telepathic killers and bi- zarre cults are their venue, despite the resistance and sometimes Ma- chiavellian plotting of their superi- ors. The show's cult following is enthralled. "X-Files" creator and executive producer Chris Carter has said that, for his part, he just wants to put something scary on TV again. A fan of the 70s occult series "Kolchack the Nightstalker Carter feels that he's just filling the fright gap. If that's the case, he's doing a good job. "The X-Files" is way scarier than "Nightstalker" ever was. Through moody atmosphere, understated acting and direction from the Alfred Hitchcock school, this show can be downright creepy. Few viewers will ever forget the episode with thegenetically-altered twin sisters who kill their parents and make it look like a UFO abduc- tion case. Even fewer will forget the contortionist serial killer episode, which featured visuals of an actual contortionist stunt double slither- ing down the mouth of a chimney. Which brings us around to the real focus of this article, "The X- Files season premiere, whichaired Sept. 16at9:00p.m. Attheend of last season our heroes had come a little too close to "the truth" (a big con- cept on the show), finding an actual alien fetus in cold storage in the Pentagon. In response, the govern- ment shut down the X-Files opera- tion and killed "Deep Throat Agent Mulder's secret upper-ech- elon contact. This season opens with the agents reassigned to tedious duties. Mulder sequesters himself in the long-abandoned Voyager receiving station and spends a night hearing mysterious encoded transmissions from outer space. Events escalate into chaos until Mulder himself is abducted by aliens in a blinding flash of light. The ultimate wet dream for X-Philes! Agent Mulder makes contact! Actor David Duchovny, who plays Mulder, has outdone himself this time. Mulder's usual cool exte- rior cracks in this episode, and we get to see the paranoid obsessive that has always been lurking be- neath the surface. The episode ends with an uncharacteristically vulner- able Mulder, and Duchovny comes through with a performance that speaks volumes to long-time fans of the series. The loss of the X-Files operation has taken away Mulder's sense of purpose, and Duchovny finally drops the stoicism we've all come to expect from the character. And if this episode was a sub- dued tour-de-force for Duchovny, it was at the very least challenging for his co-star. Gillian Anderson, who plays Agent Scully, was about six monthspregnantatthetimeof shoot- ing. Her character, however, was not. To work around Anderson's stomach, she's shot mostly in close- up. In the few full-body shots used, she wears a large trench-coat. Her part is small, however, and the direction is careful, so these cam- era tricks are barely noticeable. The season premiere brought fans exactly what they've come to expect from "The X-Files spooky atmosphere, nice acting and a little conspiracy along the way. Considering this show's consistent quality of script and acting, I can only hope that the Emmys don't make the same mistake they did with "Star Trek: the Next Generation" and snub it until its final season. It deserves better treatment and a bigger audience. So what are you wait- ing for? Become an X-Phile! I know you've already got the black t-shirts for it. Hemy Acrobat walks the tightrope at CRock's By Kris Hoffler Staff Writer Once again Greenville's bastion of local music, O'Rockefeller's, brought us some innovative and different sounds this past Friday night. The "hot and all-male" (ac- cording to the flyer) Henry Acrobat was the featured band, with Bur Monter as the opening act. Bur Monter opened the evening'smusical festivities toavery sparsely-populated O'Rocks. As I walked in, a friend at the door said they were kind of an early '80s, Motels type of thing. After taking them in for awhile, I decided on an early Cure type thing for a compari- son. You really wouldn't expect something this delicate and ethereal to come out of Fayetteville. Bur Monter is a five piece band includ- ing drums, bass, keyboards, guitar and lead singer. In between songs, downtown celebrity Melvin and I would shout comparisons at each other to see who could come the closest to nail- ing down an influence. Joy Division. TheCure. TheCranes. They do have that eerie and often dreamy sound associated with thosebands.Siouxsie and the Banshees. Cocteau Twins. The la tter is probably the closest. The female lead singer has a voice very reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins, and the rest of theband sounds more like The Cure than anything else So there you have it, comparisons ga- lore, take what you can from it. Henry Acrobat, also known by the acronym HA, was the next to take the stage and I'm sorry to say that thecrowd remained small, even with the addition of a wily group whowerehell-bentonknockingover the speakers and spilling their beer on innocent bystanders. HA is no stranger toGreenville,eachmember ha ving been in some other local band at some time or other, which gives them the added feature of experi- ence. They are the traditional three piece: bass, drums and guitar. HA thrives on the familiar sounds of hard-core, but an intelli- gent and intricate hard-core. Their songs are generally high energy romps throughsomenicely-layered melodies that soon turn to crunched and distorted audio assaults via a plethora of power chords. Since I degenerated into com- parisons for the last band I guess I'll have to do the same here, al- though HA is much harder to cat- egorize. Maybe a little taste of Di- nosaur Jr or even some of the hard and funky tracks by Fishbone are some accurate comparisons. Then again, I may not have a clue. A bouncy good time was had by all,even though they werefew in number. Oh, and by the way, if you are trying to lose weight, O'Rock's may be the place to go. It often has the humidity and heat of a real sauna, complete witha liveband to entertain you while you sweat. Melanie Griffith shines in Milk Money By ike Shibley Staff Writer Sometimes as a critic, one must distance momentary surges of feelings from objec- tive judgement. A mediocre film can often appeal to one's emotions on a particular day and cloud the film's true mer- its. As a film viewer, that cloud sometimes need not be recog- nized. If a film works on a par- ticular day, then the film will be remembered favorably by that person. Unfortunately, a critic is empowered to write partly because of his unspo- ken objectivity. Milk Money, a new film about yet another "hooker with a heart of gold touched me with its fairy tale ambiance so that I overlooked many of the film's faults. As the credits rolled I groused to my wife that being a critic is not always fun, because I wanted to relish the good feelings of Milk Money, yet my mental gears were already moving to assign a number from one to ten to the film. I wanted to halt the criti- cal processes spinning in my cranium, but the best I could do was moderately slow the rate at which the criticisms formed. In Milk Money, Melanie Griffith plays a prostitute named "V" who takes off her top for three adolescent buddies who have ventured into the city with over $100 to find a woman who would undress for them. Through Milk Money is harmless enough, hut its obvious manipulations are far too serious. a series of misad- ventures, including a mug ging and some sto- len bi cycles, V winds up driving the boys back home Her car will not turn over once she stops at the last house where Frank (Michael Patrick Carter) lives. Frank invites V to stay with him and his father (Ed Harris) until her car can be fixed. Since Frank does not want to alert his dad as to V's profes- sion, he tells her that she is a math tutor. V sleeps in Frank's tree house unbeknownst to Frank's dad. While V bides her time, she and Frank forge a shaky friendship that slowly grows as the film proceeds. The obvious conclusion to this story is evident from the out- set, but the fun is in getting there. Frank's mom died during child- birth, so Frank has never had a mother fig- ure. V be- comes the closest thing Frank has ever had to a mother, and obvious ma- ternal bonds form between V and Frank. Griffith and Harris seem at ease in their respective roles. Griffith, who has become more charming as she ages, once again lights up the screen in a mediocre film. Harris exudes the perfect amount of warmth and befuddlement. His role is relatively small compared to Griffith, but he handles it nicely. Richard Benjamin, who di- rected Mermaids, likes to handle tales which center on children, but he cannot seem to find the proper tone. Mermaids became far too melodramatic near its conclusion and so does Milk Money. The end- ing has been predetermined from the opening, so the decision to extend the film so long is ill-ad- vised. The inclusion of missing money and a gangster searching for that money serve only to heighten the triteness of the film and detract from some of its charm. Milk Money is a harmless enough comedy, but its obvious manipulations come across as far too serious. The filmmakers could have learned a lot from It Could Happen to You, which demon- strated how wonderful a prede- termined love story can be. It Could Happen to You found the perfect tone to convey its fairy tale, whereas Milk Money seemed to struggle throughout the picture to find the right tone. The unfold- ing of the story seemed to occur in hitches rather than in a smooth See MILK page 8 J Pathetic Lame j JJ Ptetty Good AWt) Brilliant Lir Magico Magico! mmm I must admit that before I popped in the CD of this five- piece rock band from Dublin, Ire- land, I anticipated a sound simi- lar to U2 or The Commitments, for some strange reason�not even close. Lir (pronounced Leer) defi- nitely has its own sound and iden- tity. I'd say about the closest sound I could compare Lir to is the band Simple Minds, but Lir is noticeably lacking in the areas of emotion and depth. Magico Magico, their American debut CD, houses 12 tracks which are mostly a combination of two earlier Irish releases. Several cuts stand out for their classic rock feel. Take "New Song" and "Three Legged Guy for in- stance. The latter opens up with a rock guita r riff straight off WRDU. Most of the cuts are lyrically sim- plistic and therefore rather easy to follow. Instrumentally. there's not a great deal of versatility from song to song, but the sing- ing is another story. Dave McGuinness, the lead singer, does have a rather distinctive voice. Distinctive because he sounds like several different people. "Not To Be Overlooked" is a ballad in which McGuinness sounds excitingly close to Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Unfortunately, the track is strangely short. "In The Parlor" sports a mixture of that classic rock sound with a brief electroni- cally- distorted voice in the back- ground. Sounds like Ad Rock of The Beastie Boys�well, kinda. Good Cake, Bad Cake" is a bit folkish and bland. My pick of picks is track ten, "Two Worlds This one could Gravity battled at Attic By Quenton Pickup be described as dreamy, musically as well as lyrically. It kind of sounds like Sade. I liked this one a lot. Metal heads may even be tempted to raise a brow to this cut, especially the breakdown and guitar riffs. Unlike many other bands from Ireland, Lir offers few, if any so- cially- or politically-conscious verses. The average age of the musi- cians in this band is 22 and word has it that they've been performing together since they were 15. Overall, their sound is mature and together, despite the occasional lack of versatility. We're sure to hear much more from them in the future. � Martin Newton Staff Writer The Attic was the meeting plaoelastThursdaynightfortwo up and coming regional bands.

Their setwent off incred- ibly with very little or no mis- takbeingmadeatalLThemusic consisted of basic rock with a coupleof refreshing twists. There was a heavy emphasis on the drums that is usually uncharac- teristic of the rock and grunge sound. This was God's Comics' fourth trip to Greenville. Tpdir mostmemorable show was fh�r opening spot for Dillon Fdhce lastyear.Havingseen their strong set on Thursday, I really got the feeling that God's Comics were out to prove something, after pkyingGreenvilkfourtimesand still getting little recognition. As God's Comics' set was closing, you could tell the audience was impressed andalsosurprisedby this powerful band. Fighting Gravity took the stage a little after midnight. For- merly known as Boy O Boy, Fighting Gravity played at OTRock's their first few times in Greenville, but have changed since then. They've vastly im- proved, not only as musicians, butaJsoasperformers. They play a mixture of ska and pop. At times it seemed as if there was a little bit too much of the pop sound. The horns worked beau- tifully when accompanied with the heavy bass and the snap and crash effect of the drums. The lead vocals were dean, dear and well harmonized, which is quite special, considering the ever- growing grunge sound of today.

Though my objective self can find much fault with Milk Money, the emotional pull of the film is strong enough to make criticisms seem unnecessary. Milk Money finds enoughofa right tone to carry off the love story between V and Frank's dad. Still, the film did have far too many obvious flaws to rec- ommend it So I compromised and gave the film the rating with the highest waffle factor. On a scale of one to ten, Milk Money rates a five.

That is a good way to describe the way Temple Owl fans must have feltafter the ECU Pirates came to visit Saturday night. ECU (1-1) rolled over Temple (1-1) 31-14 at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pa, which ends the Pirates' six-game losing streak dat- ing back to last season. "For about 48 to 50 minutes of a 60 minute game, we played some really sound, solid, fundamental ball head coachSteve Logan said. "We had some lapses. The lapses came about when we were putting some of the young dudes in the Pirate Report Card Offense:Grade "J-Crew" breaks loose.

American's Jen Hershberger scoredshortiy after totie the match. In the second half, American scored threeconsecutivegoalstoraise their lead to 4-1. ECU's Barbara Gottschalk scored the last goal of the match to make the score at 4-2 Gottschalk, along with Gaster, scored their first intercollegiate goals of their careers. The Lady Pirates, now 1-3, will return to action Saturday, September 24,as they travel to Lynchburg, VA to face Liberty University. On the mens' circuit, George Mason did all its scoring in the firstperiodof play as they builta4- 0 lead before intermission to down East Carolina 4-1 in CAA men's soccer action on Friday afternoon at ECU. The Pirates' (0-5,0-2 in CAA) lone score came at the 86:40 mark when freshman Kyle England scored his first goal of the season off a precision pass by Jason Kelly. The Pirate defense, which contin- ued to struggle, gave up 27 shots on goal, while being limited to just eight attempts of their own. ECU head coach Scooty Carey continued to try and find a remedy to cure the Pirates' woes by start- ing his third different goalie in as many games. Senior Chris Libert made his first start of the season, giving up three goals and record- ing two saves before being replaced by Jay Davis mid-way through the first half. East Carolina will be back on the road this Wednesday, Septem- ber 21st as they take on Methodist CoUgeat4:00P.M. In cross country action, ECU continued the 1994 season at the Uni- versity ofVirginialnvitationalonSat- urday. Dava Rhodes had a great race, finishing second overall with a time of 18:18. Senior Stacy Green also had a good race finishing in ninth place overall with a time of 18:52 The overall winner was Marcie Homan from William & Mary witha time of 17:08. For the men, Senior Sean Connolly had the best Pirate finish with 24th. His time of 26:31 was 215 off the pace. SophomoreLarryLewiswassec- ond on the Pirate squad in 83rd place with a time of 28:53. The men's over- all winner was Brian Hydefrom Wil- liam & Mary with a time of 24:16. game for the first time Coming into the game, the P'rates knew they had to step up tu2ir offense. They did not just step, they leaped way over a weak Owl defense. Leading the charge was Jun- ior Smith. The senior ran for 165 yards on23 carries and two touch- downs. "It's a good feeling Smith said. "It just feels great to get that victory. We're trying to get things back on track here at East Caro- lina. Maybe it will have a snow- ball effect on everything Halfback Jerris McPhail also carried his load with 81-yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. The Pirates gained 281 yards total on the ground and sophomore quar- terback Marcus Crandell threw for 170 yards on 17-of-36 passing. The offense also had no turn- overs compared to Temple's five. Coach Logan said that he wanted to use the speedy McPhail more in the backfield to help com- pliment Smith. The combination eventually gave Temple the knockout blow. "I'm enjoying having McPhail in the backfield Smith said. "It gives me time to come onto the sideline, settle down and get my head in the game and see what I can do to help the team. I can leam from what he does, the kind of breaks he gets in the game. It gives me a chance to rest and go back in and give 100 percent so my teammates can feel assured that I'm in there to play my best The improved Pirate defense picked up where it left against Duke. For the second straight week, the Pirates held the oppo- nent to under 100 yards rushing. Temple rushed for only 63 yards. Temple did gain 270 yards through the air, but most came in the second half when the Pirates were in a prevent defense and the second unit was used in live ac- tion. Mark Libiano led the defense with eight tackles and linebacker B.J. Crane collected seven. Morris Foreman, Libiano and Emmanuel McDaniel each collected an inter- ception. "I think we stepped back a little bit more Libiano said. "We were not as enthused about play- ing Temple as we were at Duke. It happens like that. We stepped back a little bit, but next week we have to step back forward The victory gives Crandell his first win as a college player in which he has played the whole game, and it gives thePirates their first road win since Oct 24,1992 against Pitt "Hopefully this is just the be- ginning of a good offense Crandell said. "Hopefully, our de- fense will keep it up and we'll have a winning season The game heated up early on Marcus Crandell drops back to play of the ECU offensive line ECU's first possession. ECU marched 38 yards to the Temple four-yard line after McDaniel's in- terception. On fourth and goal from the four, Logan decided to go for it. Crandell dropped back and tried to run for the end zone, but was stopped at the one-yard line. "We had to establish the fact tha t our coaching staff, our team, no pass against a helpless Temple defense. The outstanding gave him plenty of time to work in the pocket matter whether we make it or not, we came here to win Logan said. "It was just an attitude call on our part, there was no hesitation. I was really disappointed wedidn'tscore on that first drive At the time, rher play seemed to give a hint of how ECU's day would go. Not even close. Corcoran leads improving soccer squad By Daniel Antonelli Staff Writer With the inaugural women's soccer season well underway, the improving ECU squad is undef ea ted at home, which suits the team stop- per, junior Maureen Corcoran, just fine. An impressive crowd of fans and news media watched last Wednesday's home opener against the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks. The game was competitive early, and provided lots of action. Holding off a late charge, the Bucs won the game by a score of 3- 2. This was the team's first NCAA Division I win, but the Lady Pirates know that more challenges lie ahead. "It's been tough coming to- gether, but we are really starting to play like a team said Corcoran, after the victory. The Lady Pirates have a team of eighteen women who come from all over the country, ranging from New Jersey to Bel Air. All of the girls have extensive backgrounds in soccer and were standouts for their high school teams. Led by Robin De Pasquale on offense and Corcoran on defense, ECU could be a threat to upset people early. With only three fresh- man on the squad, the team should mature rapidly and improve with every game. Also by May '96, the team's goalistohavebecomeanEastCoast powerhouse, and with the enthusi- asm this team has shown already, that should not be a problem. The Lady Pirates will try to keep their home winning streak alive on Oct. 5, when they take on NC Wesleyan. The Lady Pirates havebigplans for this newly-formed program and show it through the focus and de- termination of all the players. How- ever, they know that the team is not where they want it to be just yet This feeling is best put into words by Corcoran. "We've got a lot to prove Notre Dame "legend" has rough outing (AP)�The people who started calling him the next Joe Montana did the kid no favors. And the guy who said he'd win two Heismans before he was through?Thanks,for nothing. With friends like those, Ron Powlus isn't going to need opponents. Any other kid bombs in his third college start, and he gets a pat on the back and the prospect of a better to- morrow. But legends-irt-the-rraking don'tget many more days like theone Powlus had at Michigan State over the weekend. Or else they wind up making a living at something else. HowbadwasitSaturday?There were four interceptions, four rushes for four yards, just 3-of-18 comple- tions by halftime. With the Irish coaches finally figuring out how to spread the field, Powlus managed a more respectable 10-of-30by the end. Other than the Irish defense bail- inghimoutwitha21-20win,thatwas it on the good-news front "What did I leam?" Powlus said, considering the question on the short tripfrom the locker room tothe bus. "I guess I learned that everything isn't going to work out the way you like Harshasitseemstoyouraverage 20-year-okifewrhingsdo.

WhenPowlus turned up at Notre Dame as a fresh- man in 1993, coach Lou Holtz was impressed enough to let him have Montana's old number � 3 � and was fully prepared to let him have Montana's old job. But in the final preseason scrimmage last year, Powlus' stopover in South Bend on the way to Canton and the Hall of Fame got extended On the fifth play, he got planted by two Notre Dame defenders and wound up with a broken right collar- bc�Te.Then,mOctober,itgotextended again when he broke the collarbone a second time, this time while throwing during a non-contact practice. "The second injury was really strange'RonPowlusSr.recalledSat- urday, leaving the job of tracking his son's progress from the farthest reaches of Michigan State's stadium to his wife for a moment "Before he got hurt the first time, none of us could ever remember Ronnie missing one play, let alone a whotepradfogoingallthewayback to midget football.

Therefore, Denning's score for week one would be 13. On the next two possessions, Chad Holcomb hit field goals of 32 and 17 yards. The second field goal drive was helped by a per- sonal foul call that gave ECU a first down instead of setting up a punting situation.

Sat- urday night the ECU football team showed the city some of its own love and affection. After ECUbeatTempkSl- 14 in Veterans Stadium, the players did something as a unit that has not been seen in a long time, if ever at ECU. The players gatheredon the fieldand did push-ups together in unison after the win. Thaf s something Junior Smith does linebacker Mark LibiarADsaid. "We do push-ups iokeeptheteaminspirit. Wedo it after every practice, before every game and after a win. So hopefully well get to do it a little bit more" Some players were so estatic after the win that they took off into the locker room and missed me little workout "We started it way back in the beginning of summer school libiano said. "There was almost 50 guys here for summer school and we just started doing push-ups It's something to keep the team to- gether, havefun and keep team unity Libiano explained that the team doesas many push-upsas there are games left. Every three push-ups is equal to one and by the end of the summer he ex- plained, they were up to sixty. During the course of the game, the ECU offense dis- played its togetherness. The players held hands as they huddled together. "That's just a unity thing that's been going on for years at East Carolina Smith said. 'Tt's how we huddle up and try to get tight, go out execute the plays and do our best Let's hope there are many more wins and push-ups to come this season.

To protect his prizepupil,HoltzmadePowluswear a bright yellow vest over his practice jersey, effectively putting him off- limits to the Notre Dame defense. "We never heard a complaint the whole time he was hurt, but I noticed a big change in him once fall football started SusanPowlus said. "He was happy again, the happiest he'd been since his (high school) se- nior year of football. I think it was because a big part of his life had returned And for a while, it seemed like little had changed. For all the hype Powlus' debut against Northwest- em this season managed to generate, he proved equal to the billing, tying a school record withf our touchdown passes. And he was only slightly less effective, but no less spectacular in a loss the week after at Michigan.

Yet Holtz, who never had a quar- terback throw four in a single game, was the first to rush to Powlus' de- fense. "It wasn't like he was wanted to throw them Holtz said.
