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.

Greek week kicks off fraternity Rush
By Laura Jackman
Staff Writer
The Interfraternity Coun-
cil (IFC) wrapped up a success-
ful Greek Week on Saturday
night and has now focused its
energy on Fall Rush, which be-
gins tonight.
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-

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

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-

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.
"The purpose of the
community meeting is to see
whether there is a commu-
nity consensus to push for-
ward with the proposal
said DeWitt "Mac"
McCarley, City Attorney.
"There is no specific pro-
posal, but the models that
we are looking at generally
regulate teen-agers � 16-
years-old and younger
The request for the
proposed curfew was made
by a parent support group
called Tough Love. The
group is for families with
problem and delinquent
children.
"The request from that
group grows out of their ex-
perience with their children
and their desire for some
assistance in controlling be-
havior McCarley said.
The planning stage for
the curfew is in its most el-
ementary form. There will
be a bramstorming session

tending to identify prob-
lems in the community that

six astronauts were set to land at
Cape Canaveral, Fla at 2:23 p.m.

cast. NASA could send the shuttle to
Edwards Air Force Base in Califor-
nia later in the day instead.

Irish leaders seek U.S. opinion on peace j
(AP) � Leaders from both
sides of Northern Ireland's sec-
tarian divide go to Washington
this week to argue their cases,
emphasizing the importance of
U.S. opinion as they grope for a
peace settlement.
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

some feeling the need to sleep in

There was reason to fear. A
burst of automatic gunfire was
heard downtown near army head-
quarters and a hotel packed with
foreign reporters. Two cars were
stolen by gunmen who told their
former occupants they needed
them "to patrol the city for the
government
The accord comes nearly a
year after Cedras reneged on a
U.Nbrokered deal that would
have had him step down and per-
mit Aristide to resume power.
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.
The new agreement also
promises an end to the UN. em-
bargo imposed after it became
clear that Cedras would not honor
last year's agreement. The sanc-
tions failed in their aim to force
Haiti's military rulers to their
knees but devastated an already
wretched economy.
It is unclear whether the
army and its several thousand
paramilitary auxiliaries will com-
ply with new orders and assist the
incoming U.S. troops in paving
the way for Aristide's return.

Sinn Fein leader Gerry

Britain is pressing the

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-

stopped for good.
Sinn Fein strategists think
U.S. support for early talks be-

Baseball strike hurts American workers
Something that Edmund Burke, the
founder of modern conservatism, said about
tradition and responsibility seems most
appropriate regarding the baseball strike
and the decision made last week to cancel
the remainder of the season. 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.

Alien abduction thrills fans of "X-Files
By Mark Brett
Lifesyle Editor
Are you an X-Phile?
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.

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

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

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.

from Richmond, Virginia. Tfie

lina.
The show started up about
11:00, when God's Comics took
the stage. This band was very
tigh t and had a �"ery strong foun-
dation. 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.

Over 1.6 million people in education and
research know thai choosing TIAA-CREF
was a smart move. And now everyone else does
too. Because Morningstar�one of the nations
leading sources of variable annuity and mutual
fund information�has some stellar things to say
about our retirement investment accounts.
"TW� comfortable combination of
risk and return ha earned the CREF
I Stock Account a five-star rating
After studying CREF's performance history.
Morningstar gave five-stars�its highest rating�
to both the CREF Stock and Bond Market
Accounts, and an impressive tour-stars to the
CREF Social Choice Account? In fact, the
CREF Stock Account was singled out as having
one of the best 10-year records among variable
annuities Of course, past performance is no
guarantee ol future results.
CREF la far and away the cheapest
variable annuity out there
Morningstar also called attention to CREF's
rock-bottom fees�something that can really
add to the size ol your nest-egg down the road.
What's more, TIAA's traditional annuity�
which offers guaranteed principal and interest
plus the opportunity lor dividends�was cited
as having the highest fixed account interest rate
among all annuities in its class.
We're happy to accept Momingstar's glowing
ratings. But nice as it is to focus on stars, we'll

Pirate youth takes over Veterans Stadium

When it rains, it pours.
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

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.

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

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

we came here to win Logan said.
"It was just an attitude call on our
part, there was no hesitation. I was

At the time, rher play seemed

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,

US. Open and French Open in 1979
and 1980.
Heacknowiedged using cocaine
during the late 1970s and 1980s and
said his drug use and late nights
undercut his ability as a player. He
was treated for substance abuse and
was implicated, though never
charged, in a cocaine-dealing con-
spiracy in 1983.
Butforallnisexcessess,Gerulaitis
remained a durable and imposing
player, outlasting many opponents
not only with deft volleys or drop
shots, but with strength and perse-
verance.
"He was an incredible talent,

Mayotte said. "But he didn't have
thatortebigweapon-Ithinkhemaxed
out on his talent"
Gerulaitis, wholeftthernaintour

at the US. Open as a studio analyst.
He also played in the men's 35 and
over doubles event during the tour-
nament.
"Thaf s a very big loss for tennis

play'tennisstarMichaelChangsaid.
"He was very easy going. All the

him He was very easy to talk to
Chang spoke Sunday night after
losing an exhibition match to John
McEnroe in Berkeley, Calif. McEnroe,
who knew of the death before taking
the court, left immediately after play-
ing and issued a statement through
the ATP Tour.
"I won mis match for my buddy
Vitas, and I'm too distraught to talk
about it he said.
ANewYorkerwithshaggyblond

best moments at the US. Open, a
tournament not far from his birth-
place in Brooklyn or his home on
Long Island.
He lost the finals of the 1979 US.
Open and the 1980 French Open In
one of his finest matches, Gerulaitis
rallied to beat Roscoe Tanner in the
semifinals of the 1979 US. Open after
trailing by two sets and down a ser-
vice break.
He won the Italian Open in 1977
and 1979. In 1977, he lost in the

Note: Points are given as distance
from the spread, and at the end of the
season, the prognosricator with the low-
est score is the winner. In the event of a
tie, closest actual score takes precedent.
Example: Last week, Bobby Den-
ning was our celebrity picker. He picked
ECU 24-20, with a four point spread.
The actual score was 31-14. 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.

ECU shows
team unity
after victory
By Brian Olson
Staff Writer
Philadelphia is known as
TheQty of Brotherly Love. 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.

POWLUS
Continued from page 10
What followed his rehabilita-
tion almost made the younger
Powlus feel worse. 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. It
was during a late touchdown drive
in that one that Powlus' cool and his
commandottliesituationthatbroiight
a torrent of Montanacomparisons rain-
ing down from the ABC broadcast
booth.
"Sure,it wasan ego-builder Ron
St wassa vingnow faut i talsoseemed
very unfair.
"And fortunately he added,
"Ronnie's mature enough to know
that at this point in his career, it's a
stretch
By nightfall Saturday, no one
needed reminding of that, least of all
Powlus. He had to think back to his
sophomore year in high school to re-
member the last time he threw four
interceptions in one game.
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. "We just
have to give him more help. He's still
the quarterback
And he's still not Joe Montana.
Yet.
