Elections sucessful despite complaints
Stephanie Lassiter
News Editor
After heated campaigning and
weeks of confusing accusations,
the ECU class officer elections
results are in.
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. Dreyfus did believe
that the candidates practiced fair
campaigning Wednesday.
"I thought the campaigning
went fine Wednesday he said.
"It was clean campaigning
Gheen plans to work on estab-
lishing better educational envi-
ronments for his senior class dur-
ing his stint as president.
"Mv immediate plans are
to get right on the issue that 1
campaigned on, which was
that our seniors need more
investment in the classroom
if thev want to graduate on
time Gheen said.
Like Dreyfus, Gheen said
today's campaigning went
extremely well Gheen be-

Headquarters of Faculty Senate remodeled
Susan Schwartz
Staff Writer
If students want to make a
change in government policy,
thev should call their senator.
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

ri
(AP) � Wayne Monk pulled
open the ba rbecue pit's heavy metal
doors that do so little to rein in the
sweet and smoky aroma that makes
this small North Carolina town fa-
mous.
Cooking ever soslowl von metal
grates in the oak-fired pits were 20
pork shoulders, each weighing
about 15 pounds. In a matter of
hours, the tender meat would be
chopped or sliced into Lexington-
stvle barbecue in a tradition that
began around the turn of the cen-
turv.

We're More Than Barefoot!
"I built 'em just as far as a man can
reach Monk, thedean of Lexington's
barbecue craftsmen, said of his pits.
Monk, who has served the de-
lightful tare to presidents and com-
mon folk for43of his 58 years, feeds
about 1,000 customers a div at his
Lexington Barbecue restaurant, a
modest white building along Busi-
ness sA It's one of more than a dozen
places in this community of 16,000
that serve barbecue (In 1983, Monk
served it to President Reagan and the
leaders of several other nations at an
economic summit in Virginia.)
According to legend, I exington-
stvle barbecue has its origins at the
�Davidson County Courthouse
square, where it was cocked under
cents and served it to crowds in the
earlv v t a rsof the 20th centuryThey
used to keep the money in an old
cigar box Monk said.
The mantle has been passed down
from generation to generation, like a
prized familv heirloom.
Monk began in 1951, W hen he was
16 years old. Working in a local res-
taurant, he learned tlie secrets ot Lex-
ington barbecue over the next de-
cade, then went into business on his
own in 1962.
It'sbecome his life. 1 lisson, Ricky,
is his assistant manager. Two of
Monk's daughters work at the res-
taurant along with their husbands.
Ina typical week, Monkuses8,000
pounds of pork shoulders and 2,000
pounds of cabbage for his equally-
famous coleslaw. He's not about to
guess the number of hush puppies
and buns he goes through.
Monk is a veritable barbecue

tics abou t barbecue off the top ot his
head.

Child entrpreneur
surprises Gastonia
(AP) � If the neighborhood
kids in Gastonia, N.C wanted
to plav with 7-year-old Logan
Rhvne on Sunday, they had to
Pa- .
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.
Parent Alice Matthews, who
helped get the word out among
neighborhood children, said
Logan is a kid who has turned
fun and games into big busi-
ness.
"I think he's a future entre-
preneur she said. "I asked him
if I could have a cut of the money
he makes, but I think he's going
to keep the profits
So, can you start calling him
Trump Junior?
Not yet. For now, Logan says
he's just a kid who wanted to
make a little monev to buy more
Legos. "I always want Legos,
and I think of ways to make
money to buy more Legos he
said. "I'm a big Lego fan
Tailhook
testifies
(AP)�Si ibbing uncon-
trollably, Paula Coughlin
testified that drunken
Navy and Marineaviators
trapped her in a hotel hall-
way and tried to tear her
clothes off at the 1991
Tailhook convention.
"Somebody grabbed
me from behind and was
trving to pull mv skirt off
Mid my underwear off
Coughlin told a federal
jury Mondav during the
tria I of her lawsuit against
the hotel.
She said she tried to
fight off the men, includ-
ing one she bit several
times as he shoved his
hands inside her bra. But
shewas surrounded on all
sides.
"I thought if 1 didn't
make if off the fkxir, 1 was
sure i wasgoingtobegang
raped she said.
The former Navy lieu-
tenant has sued the las
Vegas Hilton and the
Hilton I lotelCorpclaim-
ing they failed to provide
proper securitv at the con-
vention. She is seeking
unspecified damages.
She i ecentlv settled her
lawsuit against the
lailhook Association for an
unspecified amount.
About 90 women sav they
were sexually assaulted at
theo invention as they were
forced down a gantlet of
aviators in the hotel hall-
wax
fhe Navy and Marine
Corps pursued 140 harass-
ment cases, but none led to
a court-martial.
Coughlin testified that
she finally escaped the
gauntlet through an empty
suite and was taken to her
room at another hotel bv a
friend. The next morning,
she said, she told her boss,
Adm. lack Snyder, about
the attack.
Snyder has said that he
didn't know of the attack
until two weeks later.
Snvder's response, ac-
cording to Coughlin, was,
"Well, that's what you get
tor going down a hallway
of a bunch of drunken avia-
tors
Coughlin resigned from
the Navy earlier this vear,
citing pressure from her
role as a Tailhook
whistleblower.

"We are endorsed by the
National Kitchen and Bath As-
sociation, ' Inman said. "We
are one of 12 universities that
are endorsed in the United
States, so that gives us a real
good lead on jobs
Inman also added that her
department has plenty of
space for new majors.
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.
Finely also said the hospi-
tality management field is a
good field to get into with
many job opportunities for
graduates.
"This is one of two pro-
grams in the state, and in both
programs 1 can't generate
enough graduates for the de-
mand Finley said.
Finely welcomes any stu-
dents into the department of
nutrition and hospitality man-
agement. She said any student
in good academic standing can
become a major.
The department of child de-
velopment and family rela-
tions has approximately 250
students and has full-time fac-
ulty members.
Students can choose majors

ily relations and child life and
community services.
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.
HES is the fourth largest aca-
demic unit and campus on is
one of the fastest growing ma-
jors.
"There are lots of opportuni-
ties for Human Environmental
Sciences majors inside the class-
room as well as outside the
classroom Grove said.
HES majors have been suc-
cessful in getting jobs after
graduation.
"They are not only getting
jobs, they are getting jobs they
want Grove said.
Grove feels that HES is a spe-
cial place. She said faculty care
about students and from what
she hears, students are pleased
with the department and the fac-
ulty.
ston-Salem, learning to walk
with a cast was something he
grossly underestimated.
"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,

reaching uses for the results of
theses research efforts,
Hortobagyi said.
"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.

If the rog Mm is eliminate
farmers would eventually re-
ceive S7 50 for each pound of
their a IK tment. Since tobacco
sells for about $1.60 a pound,
that ami unts to pavment for
more than four crops.
Rose s iid he really wants to
find a so urii n to the problem
of the massive surplus. It accu-
mulated, in part, because Rose
inserted a provision in a Jaw
that capped the amount that
the Agriculture Department
could cut allotments each year.
That provision, which held
cuts to H percent, expired last
year. Thi Agriculture Depart-
ment will set new tobacco al-
lotments on Dec. 15.
U.S. U bacco companies are
cutting b ick on the amount of
American tobacco they buy be-
cause pr ces are higher than
they are lor foreign leaf. For-
eign cigarette companies say
thev can buy comparable to-
bacco from countries such as
Brazil and Zimbabwe at half
the cost.
Under Rose s proposal, to-
bacco gro wers' share of the pro-
ceeds from a tobacco tax would
allow thi m to diversify into
other crops.
Meanv hile. Rose is pressing
tobacco companies to save the
program by buying the surplus
leaf at cost. Rose has said the
companies want the surplus at
a $200 mill ion di -count and have
broken a vow to iimit imports.
Jim Starkey, a senior vice
president at Universal Leaf in
Richmonc , Vasupports Rose's
plan. Universal is the largest
buver of tobacco in the world,
supplving Philip Morris with
most of it leaf.
"I think you're right on with
your proposal he told Rose.

tion and turning it into a win

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-

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. The picture
is bleak, but the advice on how to
avoid AIDS is available.
While it is the duty of the
infected not to spread the virus, it '�
is the responsibility of the com-
munity to provide education, �

To the Editor:
As president of the ECU chapter of Gamma
Beta Phi, a national honor society with close to 300
members from all majors, I am truly outraged by the
homecoming committee's lack of announcement and
short deadline for Queen and King nominations this
year. Gamma Beta Phi would have readily nomi-
nated a King and Queen had we been given more
advanced deadline notice.
' I have been at ECU for 3 years and have always
seen a great deal more candidates than this year, so
I am sure that my organization is not the only one
who "missed the cut I challenge the committee to
reopen nominations and allow a better representa-
tion of ECU students to compete for Homecoming
King and Queen.

Adventure waits in Grand Canyon
s.i n� rarppr ranTinp from the Ir
By Quentin Pickup
Staff Writer
Photo Courtesy of ECU
Pictured here are the Havasu Falls, just one of the beautiful sights to be seen in the film Grand Canyon,
showing on Oct. 12 as part of the ECU Travel-Adventure film series. 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

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-

The Sex Police, those cute rockers
fromChapel HiU,haveanewCDout
titled Science. 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.

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.

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.

Collins appears on the song

his funky bass, and even adds an

musical genius playing on this
song, Dickson still manages to
keep The Soup Dragons sound
all the way until the last note
Goodville, and Staples do
their thing on the song "Rest In
Peace which starts out with a
chorus of singers chanting, and
then bursts into Dickson singing
"Why don't we rest in peace
The chorus jumps away from the
beautiful melodies of Dickson,
and into this raw chorus given
to us bv Neville, and Golding.
Even though the chorus and the
song are both good, I had to lis-
ten to this song a few times be-
fore I really liked it. It still
sounds like a combination of
old-school reggae turned into
hard-core industrial. Many of
you might not like the combi-
nation, but it certainly is a sur-
prise when the chorus sneaks
up on you for the first time.
The track "May The Force Be
With You" is where Micky Finn
shows up and "does his thing
I reallv enjoyed this song along
with it's catchy chorus. This
song is very similar to those off
of Hotwired especially "Divine
Thing" and "Pleasure This
isn't a bad comparison, but I
like "May The Force Be With
You" better, because the con-
gas gave it a more organized
sound.
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. I
don't think that the original
members leaving the band re-
ally hurt this band, in fact, I think
it might've helped the creatit
process. I5E5

did later years
For the true story, check out
Look Back in Angora, a new video
biography that uses footage
from Wood's films and inter-
view s with his triends. 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.

Wilson plays
big for Pirates
Aaron Wilson
Staff Writer
Imagine for a moment you are
plaving inside linebacker. Your
job is to stop the run and stuff the
fullback when thev run the isola-
tion play right at you.
All of a sudden, a purple and
gold 4 is in vour face, knocking
you to the ground This scene has
repeated itself time and time
again, as ECU senior fullback
Damon Wilson useshisbody asa
battering ram to open holes for
his teammates.
Wilson (6-0, 225), from Jack-
sonville, Florida, relishes his role
as a blocker and doesn't mind
others receiving accolades while
he collects bumps and bruises for
his reward.
"You have to be willing to
prepare yourself to get no atten-
tion, whatsoever Wilson said.
"People who don't know foot-
ball onlv watch the man with the
ball in his hands. They don't un-
derstand that he can do nothing
without good blocking from liis
offensive line, tightend.and full-
back
.As the game goes on, the
aforementioned linebacker be-
gias to tire of constantly being
slammed to the ground. He
Uxiks to go around Wilson and
avoid anv more punishment.
"I like to dominate my oppo-
nent and see him become in-
timidated Wilson said. "After
I hit somebodv once, they try to
hide and get out of my way. 1
look at it as a compliment. I
know I'm plaving my best when
I get a headache from the con-
stant pounding. This game isn't
for everyone and if you aren't
readv to hit and be hit you
shouldn't be on the field
Wilson's impact on a game's
outcome is not measurable in
statistics. He has 4.58 speed and
bench presses 405 lbs. but has
just 6 carries for 14 yards this
season. His best offensive totals

Going into the sixth week of the
college football season, first year
USC head coach Brad Scott has his
Gamecock te im in top form. 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

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.
"AlphonsoColhnsdidanoutstandingob
asa student-athlete Thomson s Fligh prin-
cipal and former football coach Bob Smith
said. "He is the hardest-hitting linebacker
ever to play at Thomson
This type of athleticism is what recruiters
lKk for in a linebacker, a blend of power
and finesse. Collins, who runs a 4.7 in the 40
vard dash, has it all: size, speed and a mean

"One plav sticks out in my mind, the
game during his senior season against Wash-
ington-Wilkes Smith said. "They had a
powerful team and a 240-pound running
back. 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. That hit really set the tone for the
whole ball game
Despite being selected to the All-State
team and the North-South All-Star Game
after totaling 137 tackles and six intercep-
tions, something was still missing. He had

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. One vehicle dis-
played its designation on its
bumper- "Find Me In Ficklen
I was still not convinced that
the Pirates had the support of a
Nebraska or a Miami, for ex-
ample, but Phase Two of my
investigation was yet to occur.
That would happen at the game.
I was ready to find out once and
for all how loyal Pirate fans are.
My first stop at the game was
the field where the Pirate Club
members hung out. These guys
really know how to tailgate! Un-
fortunately I was not offered
any of the chicken, burgers, or
pie that was there.

attending.
Hast c arolina came in to the
picture when ECU wide receivers
coach Doug Martin came through
Fork Union on a recruiting trip. He
asked FUMA head coach John
Shuman where Buck was and was
told that Collins had decided to stay
home and go to Andrews Commu-
nity College to work on passing the
SAT.
Martin came back to Greenville
elated that thev would still have a
chance to sign the big linebacker that
every majoi school in the South was
atter. AttercontactmgCollins, he was
very glad that ECU was still inter-
ested in recruiting him and explained
his situation at Andrews.
"When he called me, it really mo-
tivated me to know that thev had
stuck with me and really wanted me
to attend their school Collins said.
"1 decided to study even harder and
do whatever it takes to pass that test
Martin wished him luck and told
him that there would be a scholar-
ship waiting for him in Greenville if
he passed the test.
Collins made an official visit to
ECU in December and was very im-

"Greenville is a small town but
that is what I'm used to Collins
said " Thomson is a little-bittv town
of about 5000 people. We are a very
dose-knitcommunity and everybody
supports the football team. Green-
ville seemed like my kind of place
In Thomson, almost everyone in-
cluding Collins' parents makes their
living in the garment industry, manu-
facturing clothes.
"MarcusCrandell, who hosted me
on my visit, is a very nice guv and
made me feel comfortable right
away Collins said. "I was also im-
pressed with how nice the facilities
were here
Collins moved in with ECU offen-
sive lineman Derrick Leaphart in
January while he waited for his SAT
scores to come. He worked for East-
ern Omni Construction and worked
at job sites at Proctor & Gamble and
Burroughs Welcome. "Working hard
is something I'm used to Collins
said I can see a lot of parallels be-
tween construction work and foot-
ball. Both require a lot of hard work
and discipline. You have to show up
every day with your hard hat on
ready to do a job. Anything less than
your best isn't going to cut it
Finally, his SAT scores came after
coming within 10 points before
Collins had done it. Me had passed
the test. A scholarship became a ail-
ahle for him in May, and he signed
finally eligible to play tor HCL "I
was so happv to get that monkev off
my back Collins said. "It felt great
and 1 was ready tor kxrtball season to
start that day
Summer workouts commenced
and Collins was pleased with his
progress. "Jeff Connors will definitelv
get you in shape and ready to play,
both mentallv and physically
Collins said. "I was really glad to get
the chance to come here and 1 was
determined to get in the best shape I
could
After three-a-day practices were
done, Collins had earned a spot on
the travel roster at linebacker as a
reserve. He has proved to be a
standout on special teams, playing
on the punt, punt return, kickotf and
kickoff return units. Collins has re-
ceived several winning performances
by the ECU coaching staff and does
not mind playing special teams. "I'm
only a freshman and mv time will

Collins saw reserve action at line-

defensive end behind I .orenzi West.

making plays, then III be happv. It
doesn't really matter what position I
play, j ust as long as I get the chance tc
show what I can do
Going into this week's game
againstSouth Carolina,Collins is set-
tling into his new position and ap-
pears ready for extensive game ac-
tion. "I'm getting use to playing
there Collins said. "It isa change tor
me, but I feel like I can have an impact
wherever I line up
In the face of such odds, most
people would give up and feel sorry
for themselves, Collins never did. "I
felt bad at first about not passing the
test, but I feel like standardized test-
ing is biased and doesn't measure
how much somebodv knows
Collins said.
Collins' character has never been
questioned by anyone, and one indi-
vidual that knows him well is his
high school principal, Bob Smith "I
consider him a fine young man and
leader Smith said. "He is a well-
mannered individual, yes sir, no sir.
Everyone back here in Thomson is
rooting for him and hopes he does
well at ECU
Collins is glad to have such strong
support at home. "Back in Thomson
everyone is very proud of me and
glad that I am up here playing ball
Collins said. "I felt like if 1 quit, then I
would be letting the whole city down.
1 would never do anything to disap-
point them. For all of the little kids out
there that people tell them that they
can't do something, I say don't give
up on your dreams because they will
take you as far as you want to go
KINGS
From p. 14
Hurley and other witnesses tes-
tified tii.it Wieland was driving
without his headlights on, but
Wieland denied it. 1 lis attorney con-
tended that Hurley failed to make :i
full stop and rolled into Wieland s
path.
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. Though
Wieland maintained heapologieii
to the former Duke star in newspa-
per articles about the accident.
Hurley testified last week that he
hadn't read them.
"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.
Outside the courtroom Mondav,
Wieland said he was disappointed
with the outcome of the trial.
"I figured I would be acquitted,
very much so he said. "You can'tgo
down that road without headlights
on
His attorney, Michael Brady, said

to court in the first place.
"In my opinion he didn't violate
the law Brady said. "1 apparentlv
didn't do a very good job explaining
the law to jurors

As the Pirate gridders rushed
on to the field to the sound of the
cannon blast, a sea of purple-and-
gold eastern-North Carolinians
cheered. These were their Pirates.
