Bill Gheen wonthe senior class presidential position with 59.8 percent of the votes over oppo- nent Troy Dreyfus. After theelec- tion results were announced, Gheen was found downtown cel- ebrating his victory. "I think the elections were handled fairly Gheen said. "The elections committee, for such a short notice, did an excellent job. They allowed us to play by the rules After the debated postpone- ment of the election, Chair Doug VanZee and Co-Chair Noe McHone resigned from their po- sitions. Immediately a new Chair, Perm Crawford, a new Co-Chair and a elections committee were appointed by the SGA Executive Council. "1 think it's the fairest elections we've had vet, as far as voting within classes Crawford said af- ter the announcement of the re- sults. Dreyfus believes that the pub- licity from the postponement of the elections was a direct cause of his defeat. "I am quite surprised and I thought there was a lot of bias all around, especially with your paper Dreyfus said in a tele- phone interview with The East Carolinian. "You might as well have written an endorsement for Gheen Prior to the election, The East Carolinian received no critical reaction from any candidates re- garding the coverage of the post- ponement.

If they want to make a change in academic policy at ECU, they should call their ECU faculty senator. The faculty senate at ECU was established 29 years ago. Last week, Sept. 30, past and present members of the faculty senate got together in the fac- ulty senate office, located in the Rawl Annex, for an open house dual celebration. They met to commemorate 29 years of ser- vice to ECU, and to celebrate their newly-renovated facility. According to Patricia Ander- son, chair of the faculty senate, the faculty senate consists of 52 members from every unit on ECU's campus such as the En- glish department, business de- partment, industrial technology department, etc. Senate mem- bers are voted into office by fac- ulty members in their department, and each term lasts one year. The faculty senate meets to dis- cuss changes in academic policy. Once they have decided changes need to be made, they present their suggestions to the chancellor. He makes the decision as to whether or not the suggested changes will be made. One such recent change that passed through the faculty senateand was approved bv Chan- cellor Eakin was the change in the DropAdd policy. The shared governance by the faculty and universitv adminis- tration is an important system be- cause everyone is represented, and sometimes faculty and adminis- tration do not always agree on what university policies should be. "The faculty senate counter- points the administration because often our views are not the same. They have different ideas on how to achieve goals of the university said Bill Grossnickle, faculty sen- ate member from the psychology department. "We are the voice for express- ing the wishes of the faculty to the chancellor Grossnickle said. "Verv few times has the chancel- lor vetoed suggestions coming out of the faculty senate "ECU is a representative of fac- ulty and administrative coopera- tion. In manv ways our shared governance) is a model that oth- ers would emulate, and many universities) do. Our success has been built on hard work, com- promise and persistence Henry C. Ferrel, faculty chair from 1977- 79 said. At the celebration last week, a plaque with the names of all the past chairs was presented to the chair of the faculty senate by Chancellor Richard Eakin. "When lookingat this plaque, it's like looking at a Who's Who of East Carolina University said Chancellor Eakin. "The plaque gives us a visual history of contri- butions of the faculty senate since its beginning. It is a very appro- priate recognition of our fac- ulty Chancellor Eakin was not the only faculty member praising the faculty senate. Members of the group felt that the open house was a prime time for them to gather to discuss their work as faculty senators. "This is a nice time for us to come together and pa t each other on the back and say, 'We've done a good job said Anderson. Eakin recognized the impor- tance of the faculty senate and apologized for the long delay in their receiving adequate facili- ties. "The faculty senate for so long has been such an important part of East Carolina University. Their facility was in need of re- pair Eakin said. "The univer- sity is delighted to be able to renovate space for the faculty senate, which plays such an im- portant role in the life of our university Honorary alumni named Jeb Brookshire Staff Writer Your collegiate career is not over the day you walk down the isle to "Pomp and Circumstance Many alumni continue to support their alma maters, as well as others, through financial support and the donation of their time. The ECU Alumni Association held its annual Leadership Awards Dinner on Sept. 23 and awarded four members of the Greenville community the status of honorary alumni. lhe honorary alumni program recognizes individuals who have given their time, energy and re- sources to benefit the university. This year, the honorary members of the class of 1994 were Dr. and Mrs. Ira M. Hardy II, Dr. William E. Laupus and Marguerite Austin Perry. Only a few people are selected to receive this honor. This makes it all the more special to this years recipients. Dr. William Laupus was the founding dean of ECU's Medical School. He was the dean of the school from 1975-1988. During that time, he was also the Vice-Chancel- lor of Allied Health from 1982-1989. He has also received the O Max Gardner Award, which was pre- sented to Laupus for his outstand- ing leadership and dedication to ECU by the North Carolina Board of Governors. "I was absolutely delighted and deeply honored to receive this award Laupus said. "Becoming an honorary alumni is one of the finest awards that I have ever re- ceived Also inducted as honorary alumni this year were Dr. and Mrs. Ira M. Hardy II. Dr. hardy became eastern North Carolina's first neu roc; � rfwon 25years ago when he mov cu loGreenville. Since then both he and his wife have been ardent supporters of the performing arts.

That's because the second grader had sole rights to his street and the fun 'n' games he lined it with. Logan had obtained a city permit to close his block on 11th Street for three hours for his very own street fair. He charged 50 cents to each of the 40 or so children who came out to plav with him. "I read this book in the li- brary about how to make money said Logan, sitting on a bale of hay as he watched the other kids play. "And 1 thought this would be a good idea. I thought 50 cents was a good price because I'm letting them play as much as they like Logan's mother, Shelby Rhyne, says the fair is the latest in a series of unique ideas her son has whipped up to make a buck. Last year, Logan made more than $50 selling pumpkins and Indian corn he grew in his grandfather's garden. This year, rats ate the Indian corn and the pumpkins rotted. So what's a kid entrepreneur to do when lemonade stands have closed for the season and Girl Scouts have cornered the cookie market? Well, in Logan's world, the streets are paved with gold. Complete with a bicycle and tricycle course, bean bag toss and other games, Logan's Street Fair had kids running around to more attractions than they could ever have imagined. He also provided chalk for the kids to draw designs on the street. Logan marketed his big play day by passing out fliers at his school and in his neighborhood. But before Logan's Street Fair could become reality, he had to get neighbors on his block to agree to give up their rights to the street during the fair. The Gaston Dav School student and his parents then applied for a city permit, which was free, and city officials came out with bar- ricades to block the street. Parks and Recreation Direc- tor Kieffer Gaddis, who handles permits, said he'd never seen anything like it. "That's the first time I've heard of that happen- ing Gaddis said of a child ob- taining a permit to close off a street. Kids started showing up about 1:30, a half-hour before the fair officially opened. Four-year-old Earnest Sumner arrived on his tricycle with a dollar bill in hand. Others came with their parents, some of whom said their children had been looking forward to playing with Logan all week.

The department of nutrition and hospitality management has currently has 225 students and 10 faculty members. Stu- dents can major in nutrition and dietetics or hospitality management. Students who major in nu- trition and dietetics can choose careers as dietitians working with people to meet their nu- tritional needs, and in schools or hospitals as nutritionists. Nutrition and dietetics ma- jors should have scientific ap- titude. Thev should also enjoy like to work with and help people and like the idea of healthy bodies and encourag- ing people to eat well. Dr. Dora Finley, chair of nu- trition and hospitality man- agement, believes the program is good and that students do well after graduation. "Our students who go on to take the registration exam (for nutrition and dietetics) are very successful Finley said. Hospitality management majors pursue careers in the hotel and restaurant industries as managers and owners. Students in hospitality man- agement should enjoy work- ing with people and the public and be friendly and outgoing.

Child development and fam- ily relations majors work with preschool children (birth through five years) in group set- tings. Careers in child development include administration of pro- grams for young children or working in public or private agencies that provide services such as welfare and adoption. Students majoring in child development and family rela- tions must enjoy working with children and possess an under- standing of children and realize the importance of the early years of a child's life. Child life majors are prepared to work with seriously ill and hospitalized children and their families. Thev can work in jobs where they serve as specialists help- ing to plan various activities for the children and teaching chil- dren ways to cope with painful medical procedures. Child life majors must be able to understand the needs of chil- dren who require special care and be able to make the chil- dren and their families lives easier. Community services majors prepare for careers working in child welfare and advocacy agencies, mental health centers and recreation programs for children and youths. Students in community ser- vice majors work with all ages studying child, adolescent and adult development. They must interact with people effectively and possess an understanding of people.

"It was an all-new, humbling experience Money said. "Things vou take for granted showers, walking to class � and you learn who's there to help you The volunteer's leg is placed in a cast for three weeks, al- though casts are normally in place for 6-8 weeks for broken bones or surgery. "With the cast their ankle is free, and thev can still walk, take showers that sort of thing Dempsey said. So what kind of person vol- unteers for this type of project? Dempsey said the current group of subjects consists of males and females, ranging from 18-30 years old. Volunteers were solicited by fliers distributed across campus last month, and by personal ap- peals by Dempsey in certain classes. Almost all of the volun- teers would describe their mo- tive in terms of gaining experi- ence, over and above needing the money. "The majority of them are ac- tually interested in the proce- dures Dempsey said. "A lot of them have come from the exer- cise science department. I defi- nitely recruited in the classes. Seventy to eighty percent of the volunteers just wanted to have a biopsy done "I've always enjoyed re- search Money said. "Plus, I've always wanted to have a muscle biopsy done and the $400 doesn't hurt, either "The biggest thing everyone asks is about the biopsy Monev said. "Really, the worst part was having to wear the cast. The bi- opsy was nothing Dempsey spoke of a nursing student who had volunteered. "She more or less wanted to find out what sort of things her patients would be going through Dempsey said. "She'd never had a cast before. Three or four of the six volunteers had never had a cast before, had never broken a bone before. I think the experience is going to be very beneficial, especially for anyone going into exercise science it will give them a little bit of an edge, versus someone who never has had this A new set of volunteers will be required for a similar project to be run during the spring, un- der almost identical circum- stances. Dempsey said. "We'd prefer not to have any- one who's had any injuries be- fore, especially to the left leg Dempsey said of the search for new volunteers. "We're not do- ing anything real stressful to the leg, but we don't want to take a chance "I think next semester we're going to switch over to velcro- tvpe splints Dempsey said. "They're more comfortable, and you can re-use them Just last week, the subjects were able to take their casts off. Another biopsy and strength test followed, to see just how far the leg muscles had atrophied due to disuse. "When I first got my cast off, my knee was so stiff, and it had hardly any strength Money said. "Going up and down steps I had to learn to walk all over again "Now, we just work on the left leg about three Mmesa week, for 10 minutes per session, to strengthen it tip Dempsey said. For the workout sessions, Dempsey uses three different kinds of exercises which are ran- domly chosen with each volun- teer. Concentric exercise in- volves positive contractions of the muscles, such as curling up your biceps. Eccentric exercise involves negative contractions, or "muscle stretching as Hortooagyi calls it. Another group of volunteers uses a com- bination of both types of exer- cise. It is the second type of exer- cise program which interests Hortobagyi the most. "When muscles are stretched, the forces generated by a muscle are 30-40 percent greater than when the muscles are shortened or when they contract in the iso- metric state Hortobagyi said. "We are looking at the efficacy of the specific method that can help recover from injury or in- crease in general the size of the muscle This sort of muscle re-train- ing is useful in the fields of physi- cal therapy and physical fitness, but there are other, further- RACK ROOM SHOES RACK ROOM SHOES GREENVILLE BUYER'S MARKET Memorial Drive355-2519 OFF I ANY PURCHASE of $40 OR MORE I L(Some brands excluded) � Not valid with any other promotional offer. � Natura!Organic Groceries - Produce - Vitamins - Supplements - Bulk Foods Herbs and Spices - HealthBeauty Products - Cosmetics - Books and Magazines FutureBiotics HAIR, SKIN & NAILS VitaminHerb Formula $2.00Off -$7.95 t Gordon of Eatin RED HOT BLUES Spicy Blue Corn Chips r RAINBOW HENNA Natural Hair Coloring Full Line - Black to Blonde $5.35 . r Bulk Foods FAT FREE STRAWBERRY GRANOLA 25 Off ?$1.99lb. f Brain Food KAL'S DEEP THOUGHT FORMULA l $11.7960 Caps I CLOSE TO CAMPUS !

"Astronauts, when thev go to space for even one week of space flight, thev have major atrophv from a lack of gravity) I lortobagyi said. "In light of the race in going to Mars � and hopefully returning � you're looking at a substantial amount of bone loss and muscle loss during the trip which would take years. Even if the astro- nauts exercise as vou see them do in the space shuttle, they still have a fairly substantial amount of muscle loss when they come back "Not just anv kind of exercise is the answer. For a long time, the astronauts had been doing running and treadmill exercises � which is good for things like blood pressure, in the lack of gravity. Things like running on the treadmill have nothing to do with muscle size because the re- sistance is too small Hortobagyi said. The situation gets compli- cated when you consider that spacecraft have no room for large, heavv exercise machines like a Nautilus. Hortobagyi said, there is a big push in the research community to understand "muscle stretch which is different from "stretch- ing out" prior to exercise. This exercise, which forcefully stretches the muscle, has capti- vated the interest of profession- als in many related fields. "From the fitness clubs comes the question of whether we can manufacture a unit which goes both ways in the range of mo- tion, with maximum load on the muscles when they are being stretched, and when they shorten Hortobaevi said. ,News writers NO Meeting Today.

Dogs remain mart's best friend , by Patrick Hinson I do not remember the exact date or how it actually came to happen, but I remember the first time I saw the small tan and black female German shepherd as it appeared on our driveway one day. I did not know where she came from, but she managed to show up a t our house one day and decide to adopt us. Of course, we took to the dog at once. Our mom and dad followed reluctantly behind, but eventually came to accept her. Let's face it, when your two little kids really decide they want something together, they're going to get it. My brother named her Rebel, which I realize is a ridiculous name, but, as I have said, we were little kids, and he was really fascinated with the American Civil War at the time. Anyway, that was what we named her. At first she was very shy and reticent about coming near us. She was underfed and had obviously been beaten by her previous owner, because when we raised our hands to call her or try to pet her she always shied away. Before long, however, she came to know we loved her and would never hit her, and she eventually became a part of our family. I have a lot of memories from those years when I was a little kid when Rebel was a part of our lives. She grew up with us in the three years that we were together and loved to play, explore and travel everywhere with us. She knew when she had the spotlight and was a real entertainer. She loved to play and chase, but she was also a very smart dog and very sensitive to our emotions and moods. Nothing breaks a dog's heart more than to see the child it loves crying, and Rebel always seemed to try to comfort us when my brother and I were upset. Once she saved my brother from a huge copperhead snake out in the woods where we were playing. My brother had been running and tripped and came face to face with a snake about the size of his leg. The snake was raised and ready to strike. Rebel, either being brave or playful, I will never know, dove on the snake and kept it busy while we ran out of there. Just like the way she came in to our lives, I am not really sure when it was that she left. I don't know how or why she ended up on the road near my house one day, but she must have gone out there with another neighborhood dog that was her partner, a male Doberman about the same size. She was never one to leave the yard, but one day she was killed on the road, hit by a car. A man said he saw the Doberman drag her all the way back to'my house, about two long streets, as if he remembered whereshe lived and knew she would want us to know. I will never forget how my brother's heart broke in two when he saw her like that and knew we had to bury her. I must have been in some kind of shock, because I didn't react as much, but he was closer to her than I was. He was a shy kid and did not have a lot of friends. Rebel had been his best friend, his closest friend, and it hurts even now to remember how bad it was for him at the time. He cried uncontrollably for hours and stayed near her grave for a long time. He was my enemy, but we called an unofficial, mutual cease-fire while this happened because we lost a very important member of our family. I have not thought of Rebel in a long time. I just saw a picture of a German shepherd the other day and it made.me thing of her, I guess. She was one dog worth remembering and I know I'll never completely forget her. I'm sure most people have had similar experiencesorhavedogs or cats now that are close friends like that. We had a bunch of other dogs,before and after Rebel,each with its own personality, and hopefully wewillagain someday. But when I think of her, I feel certain that all good dogs must go to heaven. Where else could they possibly go? I am sure they must be up there, because heaven just wouldn't be the same without them. I hope they are in a Heaven where there's fire hydrants on every comer, everyone wants to play chase and all the postal workers are made of ham. You never really think about how m udi a pet means until they' re no longer with you. Responsibility will help deter AIDS As young adults we must realize that we are responsible for our own actions. We are in the second decade of the AIDS epi- demic. There are still many unan- swered questions about this terri- fying disease that has affected the lives of millions of people. In spite of tremendous suf- fering, many people with AIDS have found the strength to reach out to others. They are trying to debunk myths that still exist about the disease that will cause their early demise. One such person is Rick O'Neal. He speaks to students on college campuses about the battle he fights every day with this ill- ness. At the age of 31, he is dying of AIDS. A careless decision that he made years ago is killing him today. After being out of the hos- pital three weeks, he found the strength to come to my sociology class to speak on the topic of AIDS. Just like many of us, he never thought that something like that could happen to him. As young adults, we should take his life ex- perience and apply it to our lives. We must realize that the AIDS virus has many faces and it can happen to us as easily as it hap- By Angela McCuller pened to him. AIDS is no longer someone is more important that someone else's problem � it is society's problem. Like it or not, AIDS is a part of our world and it is going to be around for a long time. People of all ages, including college students, are getting in- fected with the AIDS virus. The tragedy of this virus is not exclu- sive to any one particular group. It does not discriminate � the AIDS virus does not care who it infects. Without the proper precautions, you could be the next victim. At times we, as young people, seem to think we will live forever, that nothing bad can hap- pen to us. That is normal. It is hard for someone young and hea 1 thy to imagine getting a serious illness that will never go away. But mak- ing it your business to know about AIDS may save your life. Lack of knowledge can be your worst en- emy and your death sentence. Fourteen years into the AIDS epidemic the death toll continues to mount. Protect yourself and do not become a statistic. Think of yourself as a person deserving love, care and respect. Think of those a round you in the same way. Friendship and caring about sex. When it comes to sexuality, respect means not putting pres- sure on each other to have sex or to be other than the way you are. Taking care means not taking chances with health and safety. I believe that sexuality is God's gift as is the body�and what we do with it affects our whole being�physically, men- tally and spiritually. Our body is too important to treat carelessly or casually. Making wise and careful choices- - ' about sex is good for the spirit and, in the age of AIDS, it can also; save your life and the lives of people with whom you are inti- mate. No amount of praying atonement or exotic remedies could protect anyone against the AIDS virus. No one really knows what the future will bring.

Shannon said it herself, in not so many words, that this latest trend, like all trends, cropped up virtually overnight: and the great Warhol God willing it will disappear as quickly. However, it might just leave our alternative culture with a resi- due of new faces and fresh converts to strengthen, enhance, and enlighten our ranks. I would ask the people in agreement wi th Shan- nonof which I am one) to take a good hard look at the enemy within. Judging from Shannon's tone their is no love lost for Freddy and Sally. But isn't tiveculture accepting; sic a culture that transcends superficiality and looks a person in the heart. � What about the other brethren, the onessic S we walk by everyday because of their astoundingly 2 average appearance.

Awe-inspiring, isn't it? Imagine riding down the Colorado River during sunrise looking up at the sheer cliffs ay they majestically rise out of the harsh landscape. Most of us won't be able to get to the Grand Canyon anytime soon, but the Student Union is trying to take you there with Grand Canyon, the latest installment in their Travel-Adventure film series. This series is designed to give viewers a chance to experience a variety of exotic places. The first film in the series took viewers up the Swiss Alps in Switzer- land�A Peak Experience. Future films in the series will cover the island of Bali, the Biblical Holy- Lands, and Ontario. But first, on Oct. 12, we get to go to the Grand Canyon. View the Grand Canyon from every possible perspective imag- inable as Dale Johnson takes you there with his masterful film, Grand Canyon. Mr. Johnson has done many wildlife films in his career, ranging from the Indi- ans in Southern Panama to Alas- kan Trailwood films. Johnson's work has been critically ac- claimed by National Wildlife Magazine, National Geographic and "NOVA just to name a few. This documentary on the Grand Canyon discusses the wildlife within the canyon as well as seasonal changes that are unique to the habitat of that region. Ride backwards in time with the first expeditions through the canyon. See the can- yon continue to grow as flash floods storm down the sides of the walls as the 10,000-year pro- cess continues. The Student Union is offering a theme dinner to coincide with the film for the price of $12.95. Dinner will be served at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 12 (the same day as the film). A section of reserved seats will be held for those attending the dinner. Tick- ets for the theme dinner must be See FILM page 11 Weirdness reigns supreme for Ed Wood �,ZT�� micfri.nhmwithLueosi Burton, Hollywood's darkly Murray also does a star turn Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Edward D. Wood, Jr. was the embodiment of the American Dream. In the 1950s, Ed Wood wrote, financed and directed films in his own unique style. He was a brave veteran of World War II, storming the beach at Normandy alongside his bold Marine comrades. He was one of the last, best friends of horror movie legend Bela Lugosi in that star's final, fail- ing years. He left a lasting im- pression on Hollywood that af- fects filmmakers to this day. His films are legendary. Of course, his films are also terrible, some of the worst in cinematic history. And some say that his friendship with Lugosi sprang mainly from Wood's willingness to exploit the ailing actor's fame to sell his films. And did I mention that, when he stormed the beach at Normandy, he did it in a pair of red women's panties and a bra? Well, at least the part about Wood's impression on modern filmmakers is accurate. Yes, Tim Burton, Hollywood's darkly weird son, is directing a film celebrating the legend that is Ed Wood, and his cast is nearly as strange as Wood's own stable of actors. Ed Wood stars Johnny Depp in the title role, Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi and ex- pro wrestler George "the Ani- mal" Steele as Wood's favorite monster Tor Johnson. Bill Murray also does a star turn as flamboyantly gay actor John "Bunny" Breckinridge. Ed Wood's budget is 100 times that of all Wood's films combined, and from all reports it was a work of love for Burton. But the film fictionalizes some of Wood's story and ignores his more sor- See WOOD page 12 Family Fare theatre comes to ECU Rloddin, Curious George on the way Music offers bland Sex GREENVILLE - A musical stage version of the Arabian Nights tale, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, will be presented by the touring American Family The- atre at ECU Saturday, Oct. 8.

I was curious, when I first got the CD, as to what it was going to sound like. The Sex Police is one of those bands I used to go see during my freshman year. My friends and I would go downtown, have a bunch of beers and boogie until we were too stickered to stand. After about six months of that, I and so many people I knew burned out on The Sex Police. I'm not saying they are a bad band; I've had some great times while listening to them. They just got old. Medallion, their first full-length project (on the Baited Breath label, mind you) is a great, smiley, feel good, "pop 'till you puke" sort of album, but that's what I burned out on. I was definitely ready for some- thing new, and not too long after that, Second String was released. This disc had some really cool tracks on it. Their music seems a bit more complex, yet they still had that fun groovy sound (for the people who like that sort of thing). Nevertheless, it did not do the trick. The name "Sex Police" had almost been wiped from my memory completely. If I didn't hear something new and somewhat cool from them, I would have kicked them out of the back of my brain forever. Well, Sciena? has been re- leased, and I'm uh speechless. There is one word that best de- scribes the third disc�boring. Their music has definitely shifted into a new direction, and one that I am not particularly fond of. The drums are much more basic; Shoney still keeps the beat, but it's become monoto- nous. It's lost all of the funky, Manchesterish feel that was present on the first two albums (besides, Norwood hardly slaps his bass at all). For example, "Science the first track, starts off slow with kind of a driving beat. And it goes, and goes, and keeps going, and you're waiting for it to kick in, and it never does. So now, your CD player says it's on Track 2, and you're thinking, "What happened to Track 1?" Don't worry, it will happen several times.

J) PATHETIC Lame Pretty Good Brilliant Riverrunt Spook Floaters Floaters There are not too many talented and original sounding bands these days. The fact that a band is original and has talented musicians in it makes for a gcxxi listening time. Although they have some talent, not much can be considered origi- nal about The River Runt Spook Floaters, except possiblvthtnrname. The River Runt Spook Floaters who floated downstream from Cin- cinnati show an incred .y diverse taste inmusicthataffects their sound; possibly a litlle too much. They re- leased a recording thatcombinesthe sounds of Traffic, The Dead and maybe even Frank Zappa. All these styles are evident in their recording, and it sounds almost as if they were trying to copy as much of their styles as possible, especially the Grateful Dead. As low budget as this recording is, they failed to give any mention as to song titles. Therefore, it is kind of hard to describe individual songs. Yet. the first cut has a different, and the only original sound of the al- bum. It opens with a screaming'50s style guitar riff. The song (I'll guess at the title: 'Titter Patter, since that's what the chorus repeats over and over) has the motif of a greasy ham- burger joint located on some busy corner during the 1950s. It almost makes you wanttoget upand swing. The third song is pretty funky. See FLOAT page 11 Soup Dragons Hydrophonic 000 "This album sounds more like a band than anything else I've ever done This is a very ironic statement coming from Soup Dragons founder Sean Dickson considering all of the members left the band during the album's production. Being alone is usu- ally an unhappy time, but Dickson made the best of it and was rewarded with The Soup Dragons new album Hydrophonic. This album is vaguely remi- niscent of their last album, Hotwired, but there are a lot more explorations into different areas of music on Hydrophonic than on any of their previous recordings. The album starts out with a very upbeat song entitled "One Way Street which drops the distortion-oriented sound of the Soup Dragons, and lifts you off onto a groove-infested sonic journey. In this song, Dickson uses guitar as his instrument of choice, accompanied by horns, and strong back up vocals, this song draws vou in and makes it almost impossible to turn it off. The track "Don't Ever Get Down (Get Down)" is faintly reminis- cent of their second album Lovegod because it uses their typi cal singsong guitar melody and another strong chorus, to por- trav their new in-your-face atti- tude. Some of the tracks 1 really en- joyed were "Do You Care" be- cause of its slow enchanting melody, and its beautifully de- pressing and sadistic lyrics. Another really good song on this album is "Contact High The song starts out with a beau- tiful vocal solo with lots of re- verb making his voice echo for eons when it bursts into the first chorus: "When she flies, when she flies, I sometimes get a con- tact high This song is also vaguely similar to some of the songs off of Lovegod , because of its level of distortion, and the almost junky sound The Soup Dragons portrayed at that time, it also incorporates a string ac- companiment and singers "oohing and ahhing" along with the music. Appearing on this album are musical legends such as Bootsy Collins, ex-Specials members Lynval Golding and Neville Staples and T-Rex's Micky Finn.

Overall, I thought this album was worth buying, and taking on long distance road trips. All the songs are really catchy, even the more industrialized songs, which is a complete change from the original Soup Dragons.

The title is a reference to the transvestite director's love of soft angora sweaters. Wood's behavior as a transvestite is a major theme in Angora; his first movie, in fact is the semi-autobiographical tale of a man who went to his senior prom in a dress. That movie, Glen or Glcnda, set the tone for all of Wood's later work. Though Wood found the script powerful and self-revelatorv, the film was terrible and ended up being relegated to a circuit of small theaters that specialized in � cheap exploitation flicks. This � was the torment of Wood's life: Ihe always had big, serious points to make in his films, but his total lack of talent made the message seem merely silly. And sillv Ed Wood films are. In Glen or Glenda, the fledgling director's first collaboration with Bela Lugosi, Wood cast the famous horror star as the omniscient narrator. Essen- tially, Lugosi, evil spirit to a generation, played God. This meant that Bela got to sit in an easy chair and recite such hal- lucinogenic dialogue as, "Be- ware! Beware! Beware of the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep! He eats little boys! Puppy dog tails! Big fat snails' Beware! Take care! Be- ware Wood's later films are little better. Brideofthe Vfonsfer(1953) stars Lugosi and Swedish pro wrestler Tor Johnson as an evil scientist and his hulking side- kick. Featuring cardboard sets and a legendarv rubber octopus with a broken motor, Bride is another Wood failure. Bride was followed by the exploitation crime drama Jailbait in 1954, and then his masterpiece, Plan Nine From Outer Space, in 1959. Plan Nine is the biggie The epic. Mecca. Declared the worst movie of all time by Harry and Michael Medved in their 1980 book The Golden Turkey Awards, Plan Mine From Outer Space is about a group of aliens who come to Earth with a frightening new invasion plan: they'll resurrect the dead! Only in an Ed Wood classic, folks. This film has developed a huge cult following. The events surrounding the film are legend. Bela Lugosi died just days into shooting, leaving only a few shots of him in his Dracula cape looking feeble and moody. Wood finished the film using his chiro- practor as a six-foot-tall, blonde stand-in for Lugosi. The flimsy cardboard tombstones, the five- foot-tall mausoleum, the bad dia- logue, it's all there. Then, of course, there's Wood's trademark, the earnestly serious message. This time, the aliens have come to Earth to stop us from developing .1 weapon that will wipe out the entire uni- verse, rhe burly Earthman hero ot the piece, of course, punches the alien leader on the jaw v hen this information is revealed. Again, Wood's message is ob- scured by weird script compli- cations, and Plan Mine From ()uter Space enters the record hooks. Alter Plan Nine, Wood's .a- reer took a definite downturn (as if he wasn't already low enough). His next film. Night ot the Ghouls, was never released due to Wood's inabilitv to pay the film developers After that, he slid into the world of soft- core pornography, making such non-classics asfrgy ot the Dead, which featured a series of women doing lethargic strip- tease acts in a graveyard. Wood died penniless in 1978, an ill and broken man. Edward P. Wood, r. lived ,n extraordinary and entertaining lite 1 lie ca st of characters he surrounded himself with in the ll�Siis was a virtual fre ik show filled with Hollywood ringies of all stripes. His body ot work may be thoroughly wretched, but it's also morbidly fascinat- ing and entertaining in its own pathetic way. In tin; wake of the Burton biopic will come the re- lease of all Wood's classics on video (including the elusive Night of the Ghouls, saved at long last from purgatorv at the devel- opers'). This is the final irony ot Wood's sad life, 1 suppose. Six- teen years after his death, he is finally a success. Hmm. Local dvad transvestite bo makes good.

A four game winning streak over Arkan- sas, Louisiana Tech, Kentucky, and Louisiana State has kept ECU coach Steve Logan very busy this week preparing for this game. "Thev are a very good, athletic football team Logan said. "Their big, their fast, their tall, and they can run. We are going to have to plav a perfect game and they are going to have to make some mis- takes in order for us to win the game, and that's just the blunt truth. You don't get to be 4-1 by accident The Gamecocks only loss this season was their season opener against the Bulldogs of Georgia, 24-21, in Columbia's Williams- Brice Stadium. USC is 3-1 in the Southeastern Conference stand- ings. The Gamecock offense is led by junior quarterback Steve Taneyhill. He won the SEC player of the week last week against LSU, completing 23 of 30 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown. He has a .640 comple- tion percentage on the season. At running back, the duo of se- nior Brandon Bennett and junior Stanley Pritchett have reeked havoc on their opponents this sea- son. Bennett leads all USC rushers this season with 418 yards on 89 carries. Bennett is also a threat at receiver too. He is tied for first in the SEC in receptions with 25 for 150 yards. Last season against ECU, Bennett rushed for 102 yards on 31 carries in the Gamecock's 27- 3 victory over the Pirates. Pritchett has performed excel- lent at the tailback position, lead- ing the Gamecocks in touchdowns on the season with five. He is the team's third leading receiver 17 catches for 131 yards. Combined, the two players are averaging 138.8 yards rushing and 233.4 all-pur- pose yards per outing. The Gamecocks are protecting the ball well too, something they have not been doing in seasons past. Te four game win streak has produced just three turnovers. On defense, the USC defense have kept their opponents from scoring a touchdown in the second half for the last four ballgames. The Gamecocks have given up just one rushing touchdown on the sea- son. While the Pirates are leading the nation in turnover margin, the Gamecocks are not fairing too bad Photo Courtesy of South Carolina SID USC has a strong offensive weapon in junior quarterback Steve Taneyhill (above). The Gamecocks are on a four-game win streak. in the category either, ranking fifth in the nation at 2.20. The defense unit is led by se- nior defensive end Stacy Evans, who has seven quarterback sacks coming into this game, and six quarterback pressures. He has a total of 28 tackles on the season, three of which were for losses, and 22 solo. Cornerback Reggie Richardson is leading USC in interceptions with three, while sophomore Terry Cousin has two on the year. The Gamecocks rate second in the nation behind top-ranked Florida in scoring defense, allowing just over 11 points per contest. Just six touchdowns have been scored against Carolina in five games. The Gamecocks have been a solid second half team all season. Especially in the fourth quarter, where USC has outscored their opponents 47-3 on the season. They have not lost a game yet when they were leading at the half. The home crowd will be a strong factor as well. The 72,000 plus Williams-Brice Stadium is av- eraging close to sell-out crowds every game this season. For the Pirates to have a prayer in this game, they must shut-down both the Carolina offense and the Carolina crowd. If the Gamecocks get hot early, it could be a long day for coach Logan and the Pirates, who have not had to play in this hostile an atmosphere this season. The Duke game was half ECU fans, and the Temple game had nobody there whatsoever, so the playing environment for the Pirates will be a kev early on in this game. Collins overcomes adversity to play Div. I-A Aaron Wilson Staff Writer In the face of adversity an individual has two choices: give up or fight for an opportu- nity to achieve their dreams. ECU's Alphoaso "Buck" Collins never gave up on his dreams of playing major college football. Collins (LBDE, 6-3, 250) was highly re- cruited out of Thomson High School in Thomson, Georgia, just outside Augusta. He was recruited bv Georgia Tech, South Caro- lina, Florida, Fast Carolina and Clemson. Fie eventually signed a letter of intent with the Tigers ot Clemson.

Alphonso kicked off for us and he booted it in to the end zone. Their back brought it out and Buck drilled him right in the numbers. That boy didn't get up tor several minutes. Buck's just that explosive a hitter.

He had See COLLINS page 15 Photo Courtesy of ECU Sports Intimation Fan Watch Scott Batchelor Staff Writer A wise man once said, "If you win, the fans will come It is a logical theory. Let's face it, Florida State doesn't draw 70,000 plus fans to their games because they have pretty uniforms and comfortable seats at the game. The fans come out to see the Seminoles kick an- other teams' pigskin. Any avid sports fan knows the difference in the World Champion Dallas Cowboys and the lowly Tampa Bay Bucca- neers is about three superstars and some change. But the atten- dance at the Cowboy game is much more than that at a Buc game. Fans come out to see the Cowboys win. It is newsworthy to examine our very own ECU Pirates. True, they did win the Peach Bowl in 1991. But if you throw out that season, the Pirates have not had a winning season since 1989, and that only because a game was forfeited to the Pirates. 1983 was the last successful season before that. So with all this in mind, I thought it would be fun to find out how much fan support the Pirates actually have at the present time, one year after a disappointing 2-9 record. As I set out from my home in Wilson on Saturday to see the Pirates clash withSouthern Mis- sissippi, I decided I would plav a little game. For those of you who have traveled that section of Highway 264, you know there is very little scenery to enter- tain the driver. So in addition to my usual driving game of trying to avoid being pulled over by a state trooper, I began to count the number of Ficklen-bound ve- hicles. They were pretty easy to spot, as their purple and gold mini-flags flapped in the wind. I saw a total of eleven cars traveling on the highway, who were going to the game. You must remember that I left for the game at 1:00, three hours beiore the game, yet I still saw- eleven cars.

Hurley, 23, was the Kings first- round draft pick, seventh overall, in the 1993 NBA Draft. He played only 1 c games with the Kings prior to the accident, averaging 7.1 points. Since the accident, Hurley has appeared in public service an- nouncements urging drivers to use seatbelts. He was subpoenaed to appear during the four-day trial.

"I've gone through the most dif- ficult thing in my life. Mv career was jeopardized Hurley said. "Never once was there any kind of attempt to make an apology" Hurley, who has since recovered from his injuries and has been pla - ing basketball this summer, was scheduled to report to training camp Friday.
