NC paiies Lancaster visits ECU, discusses campaign Stephanie Lassiter News Editor ECU politics are not the only politics that involve vast amounts of mudslinging as is evident in both campaign ad- vertisements for Congress and personal interviews with can- didates. Incumbent Congressman Martin Lancaster visited ECU yesterday to speak to students on pertinent issues in the cam- paign. Lancaster spoke on his stand on issues including the crime bill and tobacco taxes. Lancaster also addressed his opponent Walter Jones, jr. who he referred to as a "crybaby" while stating that he felt mud- slinging is a negative campaign tactic. "He is a person who is a com- plete and total opportunist and interestingly a crybaby Lancaster said. "Here is a fel- low who got himself beat, in the district where he lives, by a woman. So what does he do? He immediately becomes chair- man of Democrats for Gardner, even though almost every job he has ever held is a job that he got through his father, through the Democratic party Lancaster spoke on issues that affect North Carolina such as improving economical situations in the state. "1 think the most important thing for a person representing the third district of North Caro- lina is to continue to work for those programs in Washington that have enhanced the econorrly of this region Lancaster said in an interview with The East Caro- linian. He said that for many years, North Carolina has been at the bottom of the totem pole economi- cally, but recent projects bring hope to the region. "At the top of the list of projects� for me�is the Global Transpark which I think is going to make eastern North Carolina a true Mecca for economic devel- opment he said. The Global Transpark is lo- cated in Kinston, North Carolina. According to Lancaster, the Transpark is located exactly in the middleofall military in North Carolina. This is the only Global Transpark in the world, but there are two in the study-stages in Thailand and Frankfurt. Lancaster said this will bring well- paying jobs to the region, which, in turn, will increase the standard of living. "It will create jobs for those farmers who are going to find fewer and fewer opportunities to make a good living in farming, and it's going to put us at the forefront, of what I think, is high tech manufacturing for the whole world he said. Lancaster said he had brought "important people" to the area to get them involved and make this actually happen. Congressman Jim Oberstar, Chair of the Aviation's Sub-committee and Congressman Nick Joe Rahall, Chair of the Surface Transporta- tion Sub-committee both visited with Lancaster. According to Lancaster, both of these men au- thorize any spending at the fed- eral level that will benefit the transpark. "Admiral Ed Straw, head of the defense logistics agency has become so excited about this as a model for defense logistics that he has added two of his staff to the planning group that's work- ing on planning this because he wants the finished product to be one that will be compatible with what he sees as the logistic need for the military to be for the fu- ture Lancaster said. Lancaster's second goal for his district is protecting tobacco. "More tobacco is grown in this district than in anv other in the entire country he said. The third district begins at the Virginia line, goes to the New- Hanover County line, going from Hatteras to the Cumberland County line. "So I tell people that my dis- trict stretches from Norfolk to Wilmington and from Hatteras to Fayetteville Lancastersaid. "It's a very fragmented district. I share 12 counties � ten with Eva Clayton, two with Charlie Rose and then I have seven of my own. It is truly a huge district According to Lancaster, the Clinton administration proposed the tax hike on tobacco with the understanding that since tobacco contributes to health care costs, it should help to pay the cost. "I do not support sin taxes, and I have worked my heart out for two solid years to keep that tax from being imposed and, in fact, we were successful he said. "The success is something that my opponent will not recognize Lancaster said he does not think health care should be fi- nanced "on the backs of any par- ticular commodity "My health care proposal that I worked on did not have any additional taxes he said. Lancaster's third emphasis in his campaign is the military. Lancaster serves on the Armed Forces Committee, and all of the military, with the exception of Fort Bragg, is in his district. "People in eastern North Caro- lina do not realize the number of jobs spawned by our military in- stallations he said. He spoke of jobs that rely on the people on military bases such as restaurant workers, gas station attendants and car dealers. "I think it is critically impor- tant that I return to Congress be- cause of what's happening in the military now Lancaster said. "We have not had any reductions, and, in fact, at Cherry Point there has been a 5,000 � job increase Lancaster voted for increase expenditures for defense. He spoke of an advertisement, funded by Jones, that said he was rated as a big-spender in Wash- ington. Lancaster said he has the rating because he voted against any cuts in defense spending and voted for every plus-up he said. Lancaster said he would not vote against defense spending to get a good rating. "I think for either you or my opponent to say I am for cutting defense spending just because I voted ultimately for the appro- priations for the defense depart- ment, is again falling into a rhe- torical trap Lancastersaid. Lancaster oted tor the crime bill, but against the gun ban. He said that in the House of Representatives, the assault weapon bill was a tree-stand- ing bill which passed, but which he voted against. The Senate included the assault weapons ban in its crime bill, and Lancaster said Senators Helm and Faircloth voted for it when the initial Senatecrime bill was voted on a year ago. Lancaster said the Senate and House passed differing crime bills and, therefore, a committee was formed to de- velop a reconciled bill. Lancaster said he voted against particular rules of the bill, not the entire bill. "I then was placed in a po- sition of voting a gainst a crime bill which had a lot of good in it and one provision remain- ing which I objected to and that was the assault weapon ban he said. He mentioned the return of the death penalty and 100,000 police officers. Since that time, Lancaster has been respon- sible forgetting 12 new police officers on the Greenville See LANCASTER page 3 Crime increase addressed with 12 new officers Katy Newton Staff Writer years, which explains why the passed national crime bill. city received a grant to hire Totaling $805,239, the bill is twelve new police officers.

They have always been helpful, espe- cially at Financial Aid�Ginny Foutz, fresh- man "The majority of the staff treats students with respect. There are a few, especially in Financial Aid, that because of the pressure they are under, they sometimes show their frustrations towards students in an inappropriate manner� Michelle Terry, graduate student "I work in the library and they sometimes find it harderto respect students who are younger, however, there are a few exceptions� Mitch Calhoun, freshman "Basically, yes � some offices are under- staffed so you may not get the time or atten- tion that you would expect. Overall, they do a good job� Byron Horn, junior liceChief Charles Hinman and Mayor Nancy Jenkins traveled to the White House last Wednesday to be notified offici. lly of the grant. The grant proposal was prepared by Hinman and Captain Randy Nichols and was submitted in Sep- tember of 1993. The new officers will be used for increased assistance and crime prevention in west Greenville and in the downtown area. Not knowing it would receive the grant, the city of Greenville was already- prepared to hire three new officers. Once the recruit- ment process is complete, there will be a total of 15th new officers on the street on foot patrol and bike pa- trol. Major J.M. Simo'nowich said there are not any real problems downtown from the ECU nightclub crowd. Of course, Wednesday through Saturday nights call for more officers on patrol downtown, but the police department already has a system worked out to deal with the 2 a.m. crowd swell on the street. "We have a seven-man tactical patrol unit. When it really gets crowded, then we just move some offic- ers from the tactical patrol unit to handle the crowd in the downtown area Simonowich said. Most of the new officers will be active during the day.

Greenville was granted 12 new officers to help fight the recent upsurge in crime. IFC limits membership Laura Jackman Staff Writer For more than three weeks, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) has been discussing the issue of expanding to let two more fra- ternities join, but there are clearly two sides to this issue, and the answer relies heavily on the numbers. "Two weeks ago, we con- ducted an informal vote, and the decision was unanimous not to expand said IFC president John Ezzell. According to official guide- lines, a committee must be formed to evaluate the situa- tion and make a formal recom- mendation to the executive board before a final vote can be made. The committee is composed of presidents of five fraterni- ties: Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Tau Gamma, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi. Their job is to set up future guidelines for fraterni- ties to follow before they can be considered for recognition by IFC. The reason behind this is- sue, is the loss of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity this summer. "Beta just fell through the cracks said Rob Sensenev, IFC secretary. "They weren't actively pursuing new mem- bers, and they stopped com- ing to the IFC meetings IFC wants to make sure that it never loses another frater- nity. However, two fraterni- ties, Pi Lambda Phi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon are actively pursuing recognition by IFC. "Our main concern is to keep and protect every frater- nity already recognized by IFC said administrative vice president Justin Conrad. "It's not fair to the other fraterni- ties who have been here tor as long as 30 years and are now in trouble By trouble, Conrad is refer- ring to the low pledge num- bers some fraternities have for this semester. This could be due to a few factors like the economy, the job market or the fact that male enrollment at ECU is down this year. "IFC has to look a tier what thev have now. 'Conrad said "For ECU, with its l7,50Ostu- dents, the ideal number ot fraternities should be a round 12, and right now we have 16 Other members of IFC are also trying to make everyone in the situation happy, but to maintain a number that is on the average. "We are going to do our best to keep what we ha e Sensenev said. "We are in no way trying to get rid of four fraternities, but expanding to let two more on would make that difficult to do. Other uni- versities around the country are holding oft on expanding and I think it's time VCV did the same in order to See IFC page 2 2 Tlw East Caroli inian October 18, 1994 IFC From p. 1 October 12 Todd Dining Hall�A staff member reported the larceny ofa knife set from the kitchen.

Both fraternities have 17 mem- ber- and 14 pledges, respec- tively, more individually than some established fraternities have combined. And both fra- ternities will be nationally char- tered within the next month, which is quite unique given the tact that neither are official mem- bers of IFC. "Pi Lamb is out for the whole Greek system to flourish, not just for ourselves said Pi Lamb president Stu Hooper. "We be- lieve thai each Creek IFC not should help other Creeks. That is what will strengthen the sys- tem Hooper mentioned that the statistics quoted to IFC regard- ing national numbers does not relate to ECU. Other schools were studied, and a school like Clemson, with 27,000 students (10,000 more than ECU) has only 12 fraternities. "In terms of not expanding, I think IFC's theory on national numbers doesn't apply to ECU Hooper said. What ECU is concerned with is the possibility of expanding too largely and losing relation it already has with its members, a repeat of what happened with the Betas. "It would be a tremendous honor to be recognized by IFC said Sigma Alpha Epsilon presi- dent Troy Dreyfus. "And we want to be part of it. However, it won't make or break us because we're here for the long haul. And even though we aren't officially on IFC, we will still attend all of the meet- ings and continue to follow their guidelines as if we were This issue will not be officially- settled until a final vote is held during a future IFC meeting. It will probably be based on the expansion committee's recom- mendation. GRANT From p. 1 f Alwavs Good. Always Fresh. Always Kroger.

"The city of Greenville is cur- rently going through a revital- ization of the downtown area Simonowich said. Aside from increased police patrols downtown, this revital- ization effort includes a peti- tion to have the Evans St. Mall knocked out so the street can be reopened. Also, citizens and business owners think business and traf- fic downtown would increase if the area could be rezoned to create more apartments above the stores. Simonowich did not feel there is much of a crime problem downtown that would necessar- ily call for a crackdown. "We are there to enforce the law, but we're not going to try to overenforce the law Simonowich said. "Security and safety are what we want The west Greenville area poses more of a challenge to the police department. Homicides in Greenville increased from five in 1993 to 15 so far this year. "About 90 percent of the ho- micides we've had have been drug related Simonowich said. Since most of the drug traffic that goes on in Greenville hap- pens on the west side, police availability in that area will have to increase. "We're looking at putting at least six or maybe eight of the new officers that we're getting under the grant on the west side, where crime is high Simonowich said. The Greenville Police Depart- ment also hopes to open a store- front police sub-station on the west side so officers will be more accessible to the community. The station would be open 16 hours a day, and the officers on foot and bicycle patrol would work out of that location instead of the police headquarters on Washington Street. Simonowich believes that Greenville got this grant over other cities because of the crime increase as well as the thorough records that Greenville police officers keep of all the calls, vis- its and arrests they make.

"He has yet to run a single advertisement in any media outlet which tells you a thing about his credentials or his stand on any issue he said. "Every single ad that he has run has been an attack ad on me. Lancaster said he had run positive ads about ids own stand on issues for three weeks, but after five weeks of Jones' bashing, Lancaster and hiscam- paign committee realized that Jones' advertising was ad- versely affecting Lancaster's campaign and, therefore, the Lancaster group shou Id employ new advertising tactic9.

"He is so desperate to be a member of Congress that he will change parties, that he wil change districts, he will change positions on issue after issue just so he can go to Congress he said. Lancaster said that Jones missed votes in order to duck the issue because he had prom- ised one vote to one person and a different vote to another.

The station is attempt- ing to increase student lister ership by play- ing music that has a more mainstream sound between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. However, faithful alternative listeners should not fear. In its quest for mass appeal, WZMB does not plan to compromise its alternative motif for 24- hour polka music or the like. To achieve the latter, the station will not have to go outside their present music library, and they insist that up-and- coming bands would not lose airtime. The focus of the change will be on the "sound The intention is to maintain its monopoly on tunes that are on the cutting edge of the music industry and are infre- quently, or never, played on the other more listened to stations, while catering to a broader audience. As the letters to the editor in today's paper confirm, changes thus far have earned kudos as well as criticism. The writers and staff here atTEC reflect the lack of consen- sus concerning changes. While some applaud a new approach to the programming, others are apprehensive about any alteration whatso- ever, lest it risk losing its alternative attributes. Readers who wish to consider an argument against the changes should read the "Drop in the Bucket" addressing this issue. The powers at will were compelled to ponder modification after a recent survey of students yielded some interesting results. The report showed that among the 17 most listened to radion stations in the area, WZMB ranked as the fourth favorite. Analysis discovered that the number one reason some disliked WZMB was because of their music selection. Continuing, they found that students hoped to hear reggae, classic rock, rap and rhythm and blues more often. Ostensibly, WZMB is here to serve the student population. The results from the sur- vey would certainly warrant their decisions; however, the station's and many students fears lie in the possibility that alteration may dimin- ish WZMB's alternative appeal. Misguided charity hurts America by Brian Hall On one of those ubiqui- tousnetwork news magazines last week, there was an inter- esting story which pointed out, more effectively than any- thing I had ever seen, all that is wrong with the welfare sys- tem in America. It focused on a new pro- gram which, like all such gov- ernment initiatives, began with the purest of motives. In this case, the idea was to give financial support to parents of disabled children. The problem, as al- ways, came not in the con- ception but in the implemen- tation. First, the definition of disabled was so broad and vague that nearly anyone could qualify. Second, some parents fraudulently using the money for such things as gambling, alcohol and drugs. Last, the inevitable bureaucracy associated with such a program ate up much of the money. One single mother re- ceives $2,700 per month for her six children. This means that her income for doing nothing other man producing six children was nearly three times the average of her area (eastern Arkansas). Indeed, her annual income, tax-free, of $32,400 put her near the top of the social structure in east Arkansas. - Obviously, since the pro- gram is only about two years old, this woman did not have these six children to take ad- vantage of this program. She is, however, being rewarded with a new car and new house, among other purchases that she has made, for what can only be termed irresponsible behavior. 'With this as an intro- duction, I think that we should face some facts about poverty in this country. Most people clas- sified as "poor" in this country have standards of living which would be envied nearly any- where else on earth. For example, a recent study of the poor by the Heritage Foun- dation discovered the following facts. Nearly 40 percent of the poor own their own home, which is worth an average of about $47,000. More than 700,000 individuals classified as "poor" by the government own "Our country has nearly ruined itself financially over the past 30 years as it has tried to solve the poverty problem by mroiving money at it a home worth more than $100,000. More than 60 percent of the poor have a car, air condi- tioning and a microwave. Fifteen percent of the poor own two or more cars. More- over, "poor" Americans live in larger homes, eat more meat and are more likely to own not only cars but "luxury" items such as dishwashers than the general population of Western Europe. In other words, if you are "poor" in America, you are in many ways better off materially than the middle class of West- ern Europe, to say nothing of the Third World. This does not mean that being poor in America is an en- viable lifestyle. Many of the worst problems that the poor face everyday, however, are self- inflicted, by which I mean that either they are a result of volun- 'TAKING IN S0MBCULTURE zz? TAKING IN SOME CULTURE Self-expression important to humanity As a member of society, and one who is genuinely concerned for the welfare of his fellow hu- man beings, I am compelled to speak on behalf of its betterment. While it would be easier to simply divorce myself from the world sur- rounding me, I cannot in good conscience be deaf to society's pleas nor mute when self-expres- sion demands a voice. When frus- tration and alienation creep upon me, I am forced t recall John Donne's words: "No man is an island, entire of itself I am considered by a num- ber of people to be a difficult and ultra critical individual. This label is certainly justified, but I am of- ten saddened by the fact that people fail to realize my so-called nature does not arise from mali- cious intent, but rather from a fer- vent desire to initiate change. Sometimes my impulses become so strong that 1 forget to exercise patience-mea culpa. This is not intended as a per- tary behavior (e.g. teen-aged parenthood, drugs, sexually transmitted diseases) or are foisted upon them by members of their own class (e.g. crime, violence, disruptive schools). Before you think that I am speaking in code, meaning black when I say poor, let me also point out that most poor people and most people who are on welfare in this country are white. Indeed, most of the social spending which is bankrupt- ing our country is not even spent on the poor. It is middle-class entitlements, such as crop supports, col- lege aid and social security which needs to be cut if we are to get a handle on our debt. Our country is facing a nearly $5 trillion national debt and an all-time-high av- erage cumulative tax rate (federal, state and local). Our country has nearly ruined �J itself financially over the past 30 years as it has tried to solve the poverty problem by throw- ing money at it. What is needed is a new attitude toward poverty. Gen- erosity does not consist of tak- ing tax money from the middle class and distributing it to the poor. True charity requires vol- untary involvement, both fi- nancial and physical, on the part of the donor, as well as a sense of responsibility on the part of the recipient. Programs such as Habitat for Humanity and local church outreach pro- grams can do more to help alle- viate the pains of poverty more than any federal give-away. Until we learn that lesson, the poor will continue to suffer while we ease our consciences with the taxes that the govern- ment extracts from us. sonal condemnation or a chance for self-pity. I am making these statements to show my readers mat I am not infallible, and like- wise, I am not expecting them to be either. Theonly expectation that I hold for my readers is that they consider my point of view. Everyone has a point of v iew which should be expressed, re- gardless of whether or not it is a popular one. To stifle oneself out of trepidation or because of ridi- cule is to deprive oneself of hu- man dignity. A person without dignity is destined to reside in a limbo of other people's ideas for dignity is the soul of self-expres- sion. I long for a world where ev- ery man and woman is not afraid to speak his or her mind, to ex- change ideas and to be free of the fetters of constrictive thought. I long for a world where everyone, re- gardless of skin color, religious af- filiation, gender or sexual prefer- ence shall be regarded as a unique By Joshua White and indispensable person. I long for a world where the value of love will be measured by a child's happy smile or a husband and wife's fidelity, and not by im- mediate self-gratification or a mon- etary price being affixed to tran- sient pleasures versus interminable ones. Finally, I long for a world where peace will be a responsibil- ity, not a hypothetical supposition, and where it shall supersede the ephemeral and meaningless amass- ing of wealth and position. Call me naive or quixotic if you will, but despite the seemingly unreasonable aspirations I have expressed, I shall continue to battle the windmills that are propelled by injustice, avarice and prejudice. To those detractors who stand and ridicule the Don Quixotes of mis world, I say be forewarned. The day is forthcomingwhen the wind- mills will discontinue grinding your fortunes, and chivalrous acts shall be your sole reward. Letters to the Editor- To the Editor: I am not sure if you are the person I should be writing this to, but because I don't know how to get word to anyone at the campus radio station, I figured that this would probably be the best route. I would just like to extend my congratulations to who ever it is over there at WZMB that has finally made some changes for the better. For once, I can sit through an hour or two of steady listening without feeling the need to get up and change to another station. I even made 91.3 one of my preset stations in my car! It is not just me who has noticed the changes made sic 1 would like to point out. Many of my friends have also said that they've noticed a "drastic change" To the editor: In his review of "Li' Abner" , Brian Hall commented on the overbearing political references against President Clinton. I agree with him. As a registered Democrat and a proud Generation X'er, I was saddened and appalled that such a vibrant and well-acted musical was bogged down by distasteful and unoriginal Clinton bashing slurs. I am a firm believer in the First Amendment, but when are we as Americans going to draw the line between freedom of speech and being politically offensive? The fact that "Li'l Abner" is a "family musical" made the commentseven harder to swallow. Sitting beside two small children and watching their faces as the President of the United States was constantly slammed, I crouched lower over the past couple of months. I've also noticed that they've been giving stuff away on a regular basis. This is also something new to us on campus. Now we don't have to wait until November (I think it's something like Christmas in November that they did the past two years?) or until they are in front of the student store before we can get our hands on some of the freebies they have to offer. I think it's things like that that make people want to listen. And now you're playing music that is tolerable! HOORAY! Maybe you could pass on the word that they're doing a great job over there for me? I'd really appreciate it. Hear's listening to you. Wendy Fischer Junior Music and lower into my seat. Often times in theater it is hard to distinguish the difference between expressing and condoning a way of life. In the hilarious scene where Daisy Mae is singing how Li'l Abner needs a wife to clean and cook for him, we can laugh because, as sexist as that sounds, the author is expressing a parody of that time period. Although it is "cool" or "very 90's" to throw in offensive remarks against the President, that has nothing to do with the musical. Alas, ECU'S reputation is growing everday, and it sure would be sad to label our school as an institution where political differences are not welcome and being offensive is the only way to get our point across.

Raw, meaty acting marks Pulp Fiction Gregory Dickens General Manager With Reservoir Dogs, director and screenwriterQuentinTarantino re- gurgitated the culmination of the cinematic influences that this self- professed "filmgeek"hasdigested all his life. A riot of violence and swagger, Dogs bulleted out of the blue awash in the film noir style; bad, heat-packing men with elo- quently vulgar dialogue walk in tension reminiscent of Chandler and Elmore�Tarantino's admit- ted literary icons�mixed with quick-cut editing and outrageously choreographed action that recalls Asian action flicks such as those of John Woo (Hani Boiled, Hard Tat- get) and the work of Brain DePalma (Bloiv Out, Vie Untouchables, Dressed To Kill). His later scripts (the similarly themed True Romance and Natural Born Killers) were filmed by others and so lacked the director-based elements that can add so much to Tarantino's words. Tony Scott's gloss obscured the razor humor and Oliver Stone reworked Killer's script so much Tarantino would only take credit for the original concept. The movies, while surely entertaining, just don't pack the power of work when Tarantino's behind the wheel. With Pulp Fic- tion, the 31-year-old is confidently steering the most realized work of recent cinema. Clocking in at two and a half hours and peopled by 13 supremely- talented actors, Fiction is a gregari- ous monster of a movie. Again, Tarantino is in the Los Angeles gangland for three carefully con- nected stories spliced together out of chronological order, producing an amazing stream of rising action and climax for each story and the movie as a whole. "The Bonnie Situ- ation" bookends Fiction and intro- duces hitmen Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield (John Travolta and Samuel J. Jackson) who are sent to retrieve a suitcase owned by their boss, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames, little seen but powerful). The two are the film's central char- acters and make up the best connec- tion to Resenvir Dogs, sporting the too-cool black suits and skinny ties that mark Tarantino's hoods, who also make up both film's protago- nists. Vega and Winnfield talk con- stantly on as varied a range of topics as two people can discuss. The subtle meanings of foot massages, the pros and cons of pigs, European versions of fast food and drug policies, the criteria and reactions to divine inter- vention; everything is fully debated in well pursued logic and a hilarious abundance of obscenity. And this displaysoneofTarantino'sgifts.The man knows how to make a charac- ter to keep up with. Using individual perspectives on mundane topics, Tarantino lets the characters form themselves to the audience with idi- oms and ethics without taking up time withburdensome histories and personal flashbacks that are over- used these days to try to convince audiences to like a character. We like Tarantino's characters because they're as human as we and would have to do quite a lot for us to truly despise them, which is why hitmen, murderers, crooks and brutes suc- cessfully make up his protagonists and carry their respective movies (Misters Pink, White, Blonde and Brown, Mickey and Mallory, Vega, Wallace, etc.). "The Bonnie Situation makes room for "Vincent and the Mobster's Wife in which Vega, after scoring some heroin from Lance and his multi-pierced wife(EricStoltz, look- ing for all the world HkeJesusChrist, and Rosanna Arquette) is ordered to take out Wallace's cocaine-loving wife, Mia (the al- ways yummy Uma Thurman in an an- noying black wig). Arriving at Jack RabbitSlim's,ahip shrine to '50s cin- ema that doubles as a restaurant and soda shop, the two enter a twist con- test thanks to Mia's arm-twisting and, sureenough, spark an interest in each other (Reservoir Dogs fans, sharp for Steve Buscemi). What happens next is the second grace Tarantino can bestow on an audience. His ability to tell a story is stunning. Because he molds charac- ters so well and in such a subtle way, what happens to them is sincerely affecting and can be as tense and harrowing, or as enlightening and drop-dead funny, as is possible from thousand-page novels. Also, Tarantino makes us buy it. "TheGold Watch which begins with a classic monologue by Chris- topher Walken, is of Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), a paid-off boxer who doesn't take a dive and has to run from Wallace and his hitmen. Al- look most out of town with his girl Fabienne (Maria De Medeiros), Butch has to go back to his sure-to- be staked-out apartment to retrieve the gold watch that belonged to generations of Cool idge men. What follows is prime Tarantino�blood, dizzying camera work and bizarre people doing atrocious acts only to be dealt with by righteously venge- ful men whocrackle and seethe with violence and a need for control. "TheGold Watch" exemplifies Tarantino's work with the crime genre and shows off how he can shrewdly use character actions as al- legories and means of subconscious explica- tion. Butch, trying to find a suitable dam- aging weapon, and having already used an uzi and a car to kill people, goes instantly for a hammer and then a bat (what else for a boxer to use but bludgeon- ing objects?) then wickedly pon- ders a small, brutal chainsaw only to hit an epiphany and decide on a Japanese sword for clean, sharp and quick violence. It shows Butch isn't looking to be messy and garish, but wants to hurt somebody badly and do it with as little effort necessary. It also reveals an enlightening of Butch in the way he can direct the violence he dishes out. A boxer discovers the theories of the "sweet science It's a small, perfect gesture, and it shows Tarantino's attention to detail and the credit he gives his audience to soak in the brush strokes of his art. Returning to "The Bonnie Situa tion Tarantino gives us all the ele- ments introduced before to the pas- tel pot holder world of suburbia in a screamingly funny attemptby Vega and Winnfield to ask for help (from Tarantino himself and Harvey Keitel as a meticulous mob specialist) to clean up an accidental murder. Af- terward, the two go for breakfast at a diner targeted by twocrooks intro- duced before the film's first credits. Already stealing scene after scene, Samuel Jackson dominates the last half hour of Fiction, dealing with and using the conscience that is creeping up in i lim over the hit done in the film's first 15 minutes. It's riveting and just as surpris- ing as Willis's performance, which shows a true accessibility that has been dampened by "Moonlighting" and the Die Hard films. Seeing Willis, who always has a retort and a stub- born smirk, eat his pride while be- ing paid off is revelatory. Much ado has been made of Travolta's come- back, and he deserves it, I admit, but watch Jackson and Willis in two rums that hopefully won't prove to be their last such efforts. Pulp Fiction is a big movie. Don't expect the play-like atmosphere of Dogs; Fiction is bigger in scope and reach. There is simply no true gripe with this film. It stays squarely in its own world without trying to ensure greater audiences by overexpand- ing its genre or weakening the ef- fects of the story and characters. It is solid, top-notch filmmaking and an instant classic. As completely satis- fying as any film this decade, it's a monument to Tarantino's influences and the continuation of his influ- ence on modern cinema. Kuleshov performs Meredith Langley Assistant Lifestyle Editor The ECU Performing Arts Series offers 10 outstanding events this season. Some of the world's most outstanding and talented soloists and ensemble groups will be here to show their skills in October through April. World-renowned artist Valery Kuleshov will take the stage on Oc- tober 28 with the American String Quartet. Winner of the silver medal at the ninth Van Clibum Interna- tional Piano Competition, this will be one concert you won't want to miss. This particular performance will be of a very high caliber. Russian- bom Kuleshov not only won the silver medal at the Van Clibum Competition, he also won the prize for Best Performance of the com- missioned work, "Ghost Waltzes" by American composer Marton Guild. Press reaction to Kuleshov has been very kind and accepting. The American String Quartet, which will perform with Kuleshov, is said to be one of the foremost performing ensembles in the world. With their roots firmly nourished at Julliard, this ensemble has taken the world by storm. During their first season, they won two of the most prestigious awards given in cham- ber music: the Coleman Chamber Musk Award and the Walter W. NaumburgChamberMusi Award. Thepresshasalso enjoyed thisquar- tet the same way that they enjoy Kuleshov. The Los Angeles Times said that they were "An impeccable ensemble; they not only play to- gether, they play as of one mind and of one heart. They play with fault- less polish, with awesome control This concert should be a power- house of talent combined on one stage that more than deserves our presence. Other great performances in this series include a one night stint of the Broadway musical My Fair bidy (Nov. 4), The Teatro de Dnaza Espanola (Nov. 18) and The Wash- ington Ballet (Jan. 9).

Staff Writer Why go to a '60s, '70s or '80s party when you live in the '90s, In the year 2000 will we be going to '90s theme parties that play Nirvana and have a specially padded room forslamdanc- ing? Man, I really hope not. This Saturday night there was a '90s party, of sorts, in that bastion of '90s ethics and style, O' Rockefellers. Sans Sobri- ety and Shwa brought the entertain- ment. Sans Sobriety is a three piece band from Greensboro who opened the show to a swelling crowd. Their sound is a healthy mixture of high speed punk with a crunching bit of metal riffs thrown in for good mea- sure. They are very hard and very abrasive. Oh, and by the way, their drummerplayslikea man possessed. I couldn't tell you what one of their songs is about; O'Rock's acous- tics won't allow it. But I can say that they like to go through many tempo changes and love to improvise. The improvising thing is rare in a band of this type. Their noise is cathartic and you can tell they have a blast playing it. By the end of their set there were bodies whirling around and a few launching off the stage railing to be carried over the heads of the crowd and out into oblivion. The main attraction was Greenville's own Shwa. This is sup- posedly their one and only reunion show after their breakup abouta year ago. Personally I'd like to see moreof them, but I don't think that will hap- pen. Shwa is heavy metal, thrash-punk, funk and rap all wound up in this whirling cloud of�dust with arms, legs, drumsticks and microphones sticking out of it. They are an unor- thodox five piece with two lead vo- cals, bass, guitar and drums. The place was completely packed when they took the stage. Many people had come out just to see them. Their sound is based on a driving rhythm; however, the rhythm is bor- rowed from many different styles. In one song they can go from a speed metal stomp to a chorus of slow funk and back again. The two lead vocals trade off with one doing most of the singing (the dude in the lounge lizard tux) and one doing most of the rap (the guy with the blue bandanna on his sweaty aard- vark-like head). After a few min- utes of their sonic assault a large pit had been stirred up, and once again, bodies were being thrown about, except at a higher velocity. His reallyagreatthingto see this generation of downtrodden, na- tional debt inheriting, latchkey kids having, a ball with something that is uniquely its own, a venting rage where no one gets hurt. Shwa played a hefty set and everyone seemed to be satisfied and sweaty. Sans Sobriety is excellent, maybe they will come back. Shwa is great fun as well, but we probably won't see them anymore. This is your traveling downtown not-so-alter- native reporter signing off. See you next show. CD Reviews CD Reviews fe Galliano The Plot Thickens )))) "All boundaries cease to exist, it wasn't black music or white music, it was just music declared Galliano's front man Rob Gallegher. The only way to de- scribe Galliano's third album, The Plot Thickens, is to say that there are in fact no boundaries. Galliano is not limited to one type of music and because of this nothing holds back their ability to create a musi- cal masterpiece. Great Britain-based Galliano offers a wide variety of musical identity. Some refer to their type of music as "Acid Jazz" which is an easy way to say it is jazz with an attitude. Their debut album, In Pursuit of the 13th Note, proved to be nothing less than poetically groundbreaking. Galliano keeps with the tradition on their latest, The Plot Thickens. The musical pre- occupations on this album stem from hours together on the tour bus and a new-found listening style of music outside the soul and funk areas. Due to excellent production, this album flows beautifully as if it were only one song. It has a very tribal sound, with an English twist making it very mesmerizing. Rob Gallegher, main writer, guitarist and vocalist, was inspired by David Crosby and covered "Long Time Gone An original attribute to the song was that Gallegher added additional lyrics to better fit the rest of the album. This song took on a new twist with a funky bassline and a smooth hip-hop lyric style. Galliano is a very worldly band and they incorporate their views about the changing times of the earth on the fourth song, "Twyford Down Twyford Down is the legendary resting place of King Arthur and is supposedly one of the more beautiful locations of England. This song turned out to be my favorite on the disk because of the mixture of vocals and music. Both went together with such me- lodic perfection it gave me goose bumps. The song has almost a nos- talgic tone to it while it discusses the way times have changed and not even Twyford Down is safe from the destructive ways of the modern world. Rob Gallegher's poetic style of writing lyrics works well with the rest of the band and this song shows that very well. Another one of the more out- standing songs was the next to last track, titled "Better All the Time Almost a ballad, this song is very upbeat and leaves a happy feeling after listening. If a band can evoke an emotion in me, I tend to want to listen to them again. Gallianodefi- nitely stirred an emotion with this song, and it made me feel better. The message the song puts across is that no matter how bad it gets, everything will always get better with time. If this sounds like something you would be interested in listen- ing to, go out and get it. If not, go out and get it anyway because you will not be disappointed. Galliano has created a wonderful example of good music. Their originality is evident throughout the album and the even flow of good music re- mains constant. Galliano has proved to be the forerunner for the "Acid Jazz" movement and have a large following in Europe. Perhaps it is time for America to experience Galliano. -Trent Giardino A Drop IN THE Bucket Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor "A Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great screaming bucket of American media opinion. Take it as iou ivill. There's been a lot of talk in this column lately about what is andisnot"alternativeThesub- ject has been discussed at great length, and I'm sure many of you out there are sick to death of hearing about it. Well, grab those vomit bags, kids, because here we go again. This time, though, I'm out for blood. WZMB, our campus ra- dio station, was subjected to an official format change, voted through by the Media Board last week. The station will now play "commercial" alternative (con- tradiction in terms there) from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m and "regular" (some would say "real") alter- native from6p.m.to6a.m. There are reasons for this change, and you can get a positiyS Reaction to those reasons in oui Jnasthead editorial on the opinion page. I, however, am here to snarl. I won't go too deeply into WZMB's so-called grant an- nouncements that sound like full-blown commercials, even though I'm told that they make a mockery of FCC law concern- ing noncommercial radio. They stop just short of mentioning price, and so are apparently within the boundsfaftwmmuni- cationslaw (howeverlnuch they may teeter on the edge). They do make the station less pleasant to listen to and occasionally make me put in a CD, but I suppose that's the price of progress. But I'm not here to talk about that. The twisting of the non- commercial radio format is an- other topic entirely. No, I want to talk about the format change itself. This change was pushed through by the station's new management in a flurry of resig- nations and the firing of many of WZMB's longest-standing staff members. Those trying to smooth over the anger and con- troversy are saying that this change won't really cause that muchofadifferencein WZMB's sound. I beg to differ. There's already a difference. Anyone who actu- ally listened to the station last year or over the summer, any- one who really knows and loves alternative music, has definitely noticed. In an effort to play more commercial music, WZMB will be moving more towards MTV's notion of what alternative mu- sic is. But MTV is drtly looking for the next Nirvana, the next Nine Inch Nails, the, next (God forbid) Stone Templepilots (who were, of course, the next Pearl Jam, who were, come to think of it, the next Nirvana). They want copies of copies of copies.

It's a great improvement ivor the beginning of the semester, when I was slapping in CDs left and right rather than listening to the crap VVZMB was cranking out. But the fans of underground music are still not being serviced in Greenville. The format change, which is being lauded as an effort to appeal to everyone, old and new fans alike, is a failure. The station doesn't seem to be expanding its listener base so much as it's chang- ing it. Most of the people who didn't like the station before won't like it now, and the fans VVZMB has turned its back on have abandoned it. Mostly, the format change will probably lead to higher CD sales downtown, as the disenfranchised fans of the underground are forced to buv stuff thev could have heard on the radio just a few short months "go- College is a place to expand your horizons and find new interests, and VVZMB used to be a part of that expansion.

It takes an unselfish team player who can accept the given role and wait their turn to become a star. Jerris McPhail has cer- tainly not let being Jr. Smith's backup at tailback bother him or hurt his pro- duction out of the Pirate backfield. So far this year McPhail has 42 carries for 208 for a 4.95 yard average. He also has caught 3 passes for 83 yards, a 27.7 average, which is the best on the team. Naturally Pirate fans want to know why he doesn't get the ball more. Against Duke, he had 2 carries for 11 yards and against the Orangemen, he had another 2 carries for 8 yards. Fans want to know why McPhail doesn't get the ball more either rushing or receiv- ing. Others wonder why he doesn't return kickoffs or punts. Pirate head coach Steve Logan has been criticized for not utilizing McPhail's talents more. Logan's responses to these questions and criticisms of his game plan and who is getting the ball mainlv center on prais- ing All-American and Doak Walker Award Finalist Junior Smith. "I would be crazy to take out an All-American Logan said. "Jerris McPhail is a very g jod ball player, but he is Jrs backup. 1 am not going to take Junior out of the lineup. Occa- sionally, if Junior is struggling because all eleven men are keying on him, we use Jerris as a change of pace or to give Junior a rest "Jerris is a great athlete, but he just needs to wait his turn and be patient Logan said. "I would like to get him the ball more but there are only so many snaps in a football game, and we do throw the ball a lot because we are a pro-set foot- ball team Logan has also said that McPhail doesn't have the hands to be a wide receiver or return punts. "He must have dropped 20 or more passes last year Logan said. "He can not re- turn punts. That just isn't one of the things Jerris does well. He doesn't have the capabil- ity to catch kickoffs either or do it smoothly. Plus, we need a 6-0, 200-pound player to Wock for Mitchell Galloway Logan's estimation of McPhail's hands seems a bit off considering he led the Pirates in receptions last year with 34 for 410 yards (12.1) average and 4 touchdowns. Last season, he scored the game-winning touchdown against Louisiana Tech and was honored for his 6 catches, 107 yards, and 2 touch- downs against Southern Miss by t h e EC AC. Most i m pressed is NFL Draft expert M e 1 Kiper, rat- ing him among the top under- classmen prospects at wide receiver. Kiper has McPhail rated among the top players in the country in his annual publication. It would seem only logical to plav him more considering his production, but McPhail doesn't let that bother him. "I don't mind sharing time with Junior McPhail said. I know that whichever one of us is in the ball game doesn't mat- ter. We can both help the team win. Jr. has really impacted my plav because he is an All-Ameri- can. Plaving behind an All- American is hard because he will always be in the spotlight, and I will always be in his shadow. I am dealing with it game bv game, and I know in the near future it will be showtime for me. "We are different type of players. I am more of a slasher, and Junior is more of a see-the- hole and hit-it-hard type of player. We complement each other well Playing running back and re- ceiver gives McPhail a unique perspective on the Pirate of- fense. "I feel like I'm a pretty versa- tile player McPhail said. "I think that playing the running back position is a guarantee that vou will get the football. You don't have to worry about a defensive lineman knocking it down or taking your eye off it and dropping it. A handoff of- fers a guarantee to get the ball and go "Last year I would go through some games and catch 1 or 2 passes McPhail said "I was blocking all of the time, which I don't mind, but I didn't come here to be a small offen- sive lineman. I think I can help the team by touching the ball, not just blocking McPhail doesn't feel like he is a totally polished product yet and till feels like he has room See STAR page 12 Pirates travel to Hurricane country Dave Pond Sports Editor While Coach Logan and his Pirates (3-3) look to avenge their 27-20 defeat at the hands of Virginia Tech last Saturday, Tulsa's Golden Hurricane (2- 4) are coming off of a huge 44- 22 thrashing of UNLV's Runnin' Rebels, breaking a four-game losing streak. "I assure you they plan on winning this game Logan said. "We are their homecom- ing, which is an indication on how they are going to look at this game. ECU has never beaten Tulsa in a football game. We will have to play the game of our lives Both Coach Logan and of- fensive coordinator Todd Berry are Tulsa alumnus, as well as former assistants for the Hurricane. In the inaugu- ral ECU-Tulsa matchup in 1984, both Berry and Logan were Hurricane assistant coaches. TU piled up 452 total yards of offense against the Rebs, but just 101 in the air. This inabil- ity to pass should play right into the hands of the ECU de- fense. However, the Hurricane amassed a season-high 351 rushing yards, and their ground attack will be strongly tested by the Pirate defenders. Assistant Sports Editor On the surface, ECU's 27-20 loss to Virginia Tech Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium could be viewed as a game in which the Pirates stayed close to a nation- ally ranked football team. Look into the heart of the matter, how- ever, and you find that ECU should have won the matchup against the 19th-ranked Hokies. "I think you saw a really good college football game between two good college institutions and football programs Logan said. "Thev beat us. There were oo- portunities for both of us to win the game, but we just came up a little bit short The game, on paper, was about as even as you can get. Both teams showcased their quarterbacks who although might seem simi- lar in one light, but are quite dif- ferent in others. Maurice DeShazo (14-27, 198 yards), the senior Hokie quarter- back, was given the luxury of time in the pocket while leading the VT offense to the victory. His experience in the shotgun forma- tion was evident early and seen often throughout the game. Pirate Report Card See TULSA page 12 ECU's Marcus Crandell (30- 50,332 yards, 2 touchdowns), put up better numbers than DeShao, although he lacks the years of experience that DeShazo pos- sesses as a college quarterback. "I wouldn't trade Marcus for anybodv in the country Logan said. "He's played in six or seven games now. His defining moment is still yet to come. At some point he's going to win a game late for you. He made some mistakes, but he's progressing well After receiving the open kick- off, ECU marched down the field with authority. However, the drive was killed when a Tech blitz stormed through the Pirate of- fense line at the 27-yard line, and the audible that Crandell and Jun- ior Smith (17 carries for 64 yards, five catches for 41 yards receiv- ing) had planned crumbled. The ball was fumbled and re- covered by Tech defensive end Lawrence Lewis, who rambled 60 vards for a touchdown. Hokie kicker Ryan Williams missed the PAT, leaving the score 6-0 with 12:09 left to play in the first quar- ter. Later on in the quarter, the Pirates would execute an eight- play, 67-yard drive that was cul- minated with a one-yard Damon Wilson end zone dive. The extra point attempt was successful, making the score 7-6 (ECU) with 2:45 left at the end of the first quarter. After driving down the field in the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Hokies put to- gether and 80-yard drive scor- ing on a 7-yard run by TB Tommy Edwards to put VT up six, 13-7.

Jason Nichols is ECU's jack of all trades, starting at wide receiver, throwing the football for a touchdown, and returning punts through the first three games of the season. Filling these many roles requires a lot of versatility and talent, two attributes that Nichols has in great supply. OffensiveCoordinatorTodd Berry has utilized Nichols four times this season on the reverse play, each time with successful results. In the opener against Duke, Nichols fired a 34 yard strike for a touchdown to fellow re- ceiver, Allen Williams.This was ECU's only touchdown of the game, as the Pirates lost to the still undefeated 6-0 Blue Dev- ils. Against Temple, Nichols ran the same play, this time keep- ing it for a 22 yard gain. "The play is called 19 Z Reverse Pass Nichols said.

Less than eight minutes later. sophomore midfielder Chris Padgett sent a Dan Staton pass just beyond the out-stretched hand of Stetson goalie Derrick Alexander to post his second goal of the season. England, who leads the Pi- rate strikers in assists, struck again with his second assist of the afternoon when he retrieved a deflected shot and found team- mate Joel Link in front of the goal to put the Pirates up 4-1 at the half. ECU had to rely on good de- fense in the second half to hold off the come-from-behind at- tempt by the Hatters.

The war of words started early between the two teams after the Tar Heels rolled over Maryland 41-17 on Saturday.

Regan replaces Johnny Oates, who was fired as the Orioles' manager on Sept. 2ft. Regan was the only person granted a sec- ond interview among the nine considered for the job. The others considered were Cincinnati Reds manager Davey Johnson, St. Louis Cardinals hit- ting instructor Chris Chambliss, former Orioles Rick Dempsey and Elrod Hendricks, Baltimore first-base coach Davey Lopes, and former big league managers Bill Virdon, Buck Rodgers and Jeff Torborg. Regan, who had a fine career as a major-league pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is rec- ognized as one of the finest pitch- ing coaches in the game. He has managed in the Dominican Re- public or Venezuela every year since 1985.

Virginia Tech would retake the lead before the half on a 21- yard Williams field goal, mak- ing the score 16-14. After receiving the second half kick-off, Tech was unable to score on three consecutive attempts from the ECU one- yard line. The Hokies were forced to settle for a 19-yard Williams field goal, as they in- creased their lead to 19-14. "I was tickled to see that our defense held on the first and goal Logan said. "We played some good defense there, and that's a win for us if you can force a team to kick a field goal Once again, the Pirate of- fense executed a perfect drive that was almost exactly mir- rored to the earlier scoring drive. Again the Pirates strung together an 11 play, 80-yard drive that ended in a Shannon touchdown. On second and ten from the VT 15 yard line, Crandell found Shannon in the corner of the end zone, where he made an acrobatic catch over two Hokie defenders, giving the Pirates a 20-19 lead with 4:19 left to play in the third quarter. "That's how the play is re- ally designed Shannon said. "I have to catch the ball at its highest point because the de- fensive back is smaller than me. We practiced it all week he said. The Hokies' next score would prove to be the deciding factor in the ball game. On first and goal from the ECU six-yard line, DeShazo ran into the end- zone untouched on a QB draw, making the score 27-20 Hokies. The fourth quarter was basi- cally a defensive battle, with neither team scoring in the quarter. Crandell threw his lone interception of the game in the last minute of the game, killing any chance the Pirates had of a last-drive victory. "This week in practice I'm going to focus on every snap as the last play of the game Crandell said.

His day was highlighted by a 93-yard touch- down run. On the season, Hurricane QB John Fitzgerald has completed 49.7 of his pass attempts for just 778 yards and 2 TDs, while throwing seven interceptions. His main target on the sea- son has been Wes Caswell, who has tallied up 479 receiving yards and both TU touchdown catches. Redshirt freshman Jason Jacoby tied a school record against UNLV with a 100-yard kickoff return, and tallied 225 all-purpose yards on the day while filling in for the injured Kenny Gunn. Last Saturday, UNLV was held to just 274 total yards by the Hurricane defense. They held the'Rebs to just 43 rushing vards on 28 carries, but gave up 231 yards through the air. Hurricane DBs Mike Haenszel and Malcolm Williams combined for 17 tackles and three interceptions against UNLV, while DE Sedric Clark added 13 tackles, including 3 sacks and two stops behind the line. On the season, MLB Muadianvita Kazadi leads TU with 59 tackles, while DE Salifu Abudulhai has tallied 42 tack- les, third on the team behind Clark. On special teams, junior Mark DeLozier has punted 38 times for 1,690 yards and a 44.5 yard average, ranking among the nation's punting leaders. ECU's Morris Foreman will have to in- crease his return average to keep the Pirates in good starting field position. After last year's 52-26 shel- lacking at the hands of the Golden Hurricane and last week's loss to the Hokies, Coach Logan and the Pirates will be eager to pile up points on the scoreboard and come away with a big victory in Tulsa They'll need another big game from (un- ior Smith, who exploded for 282 yards in the losing cause a year ago.

"The athletic department is great Justice-Hinson said, "This program is growing fast and pro- gressing. The only down side is that when a team is not having a good year, we all feel their losses. We hate to see them lose One would think being closely involved with Pirate athletics would make Justice-Hinson a wild and cheering fan maniac. However, she has to keep her calm, as cheering is prohibited in the press box. "The only emotion I can show is a clenching of the fist or a 'way to go' under my breath shesaid.

I feel like the more times I ha ve it in m v hands the more I get in the flow of the game and have a chance to make big plays Nichols came highiv touted to ECU out of Meadowcrwk HS in Norcross, Ga an Atlanta suburb. Nichols won four letters asa quarter- back and defensive back. He was selected to the All-Gwinnett County team at both positions and was named to the honorable mention4-A All-State team. Nichols won the Coca-Cola Award his last two seasons and was honored several times by the Atlanta Touchdown Club for player of the week. As a senior, he threw for 945 yardsand 11 touchdownsand rushed for 830 vards and 10 touchdowns. This kind of versatility and 4.48 speed in the 40 yard dash led to a lot of recruiting attention for Nichols. "Coming out of high school, I had a lot of schools to choose from Nichols said. "Unfortunately, most of them wanted me for defensive back, including North Carolina St Ole Miss, Tulane, and Georgia Nichols wanted to play on the other side of the bal 1 and was looking fora school to make a commitment to him on offense.

I wasn't about to select a school where I would have to block all of the time and not get a chance to catch the ball Setting goals is only normal for a player. You can not measure how you are doing without keeping track of your numbers. Nichols is no dif- ferent and Ls keenly aware of what he is trying to accomplish in his first seasonofacnvedutyafterredshirting last year. "Statistically I don't set many goals Nichols said. "I haven't set any goals as far as my yardage totals or touchdowns but 1 would like to catch at least 30 passes which I feel I can easily attain. Also, I want to have no more than five dropped passes this season which is hard to do but 1 feel like if you set your goals high and come up short you will still have impressive numbers So far this season Nichols leads the Pirates in receiving with 24 catches for 272 yards after six games. He has averaged just over 11 yards a catch. The only thing absent from Nichols' numbers is a touchdown, something Nichols is intent on changing. "A lot of my routes are short, so people really haven't seen me go deep yet Nichols said. "That is still to come. Hopefully I will surprise some people. It is good when people don't know you and don't expect you to make the big play or catch Playing receiver in general has Jason NichoLs smiling all of the time. Instrumental to him making such a smooth transition to the position is ECU Receivers Coach Doug Martin. "It's great playing for him Nichols said. "He's a nice guy who really cares about his players both on and off the field. He really wants you to play up to your peak performance level. The confidence he shows in me really makes me feel good about myself "I really like playing wide re- ceiver Nichols said. "It is a position where I can relate to what the quar- terback is thinking and react to the defense. It has been a change but it is one I don't mind doing. One day if I want to play on the next level it could be a position I could make it at Nichols still feels like he can im- prove a lot, particularly, in the area of punt returning he said. "That is something I am working on Nichols said. "I take it as a challenge because it is sort of a dangerous position. It is the area where I need the most work on and it has frustrated me a little bit. I just have to concentrate and work on what I have to do back there. I know I ha ve what it takes to make big plays Recently, outside linebacker Morris Foreman has taken over punt returning duties from Nichols who had returned 4 punts for a 6.75 return average. ECU head coach Steve Logan still has confidence in Nichols and plans to give him another chance in the future. Nichols feel strongly about the public's perception of the wide re- ceivers. " First of all, I want to change what happened last year with the fans thinking that we were unreli- able Nichols said. "I think we have consistent players out there now that GAMBLER From p. 9 situation early in the game, Logan opted to go for the first down, instead of punting. The decision would prove suc- cessful and a momentum swinger for the Pirates as the game pro- gressed. The Pirates did indeed get that first down, as fullback Damon Wilson blasted up the middle, and continued to march down the field eventually scoring a touchdown. Unfortunately, ECU found them- selves in a similar situation only a few minutes later. The second 4th and 1 scenario had Coach Logan again ponder- ing the dilemma. The Pirate run- ning game got them out of the first jam, so Logan decided to try again. The result was another Wilson carry and another Pirate first down. Coach Logan is known by his colleagues as a gutsy coach. Be- cause of his coaching style in South Carolina, Logan reached deep in his bag of tricks, and pulled out the upset over the Gamecocks.

He feels like it relaxes him and lets him cool down after practice and games. "It definitely relaxes me Nichols said. "I can chill out and forget about the pressu res of school a nd football" Jason Nichols continues to play well for the Pirates.

Nichols could chal- lenge for Freshman Ail-American honors this year and should defi- nitely be a postseason honors candi- date every season. EastCarolinacurrently ranks 12th nationally in passing offense with the help of receivers like Nichols. "I don't worry too much about personal accomplishments Nichols said. "1 just want to play in Memphis on New Years Eve the crowd to their feet. I lowever, the big play would not save the Pirates on this d.n as their third 4th down opportunity surfaced. Logan called a pass play that went for six yards. The first down marker was still a yard away. The Pirates had to give the ball up on the VT 25 yard line where the Hokies bled the clock and were able to head north with a win. The Pirate that loves to gamble came up just one hand short in this Saturday's game. However, he will have another chance to deal himself four aces next week against Tulsa. for improvement. "I have to work on getting quicker feet McPhail said. "I have the speed to get past you, and nine times out of ten, it will be six points, but I need to im- prove my quickness as far as making someone miss when I hit the crease "All of that will work itself out with more repetitions and play- ing time McPhail said. "I think if I can improve and get more comfortable at my position, then I can play at the next level McPhail gives a lot of credit to his offensive line and feels like it is what makes the Pirate offense go. "The first game they didn't re- ally finish their blocks, but in practice they have worked hard, and now they are running over people McPhail said. "Onepar- ticular play stands out in my mind where Charles Boothe was lead- ing the block, and Junior ran be- hind him, and Boothe went right through the defensive back with- out breaking stride. Our offen- sive line is getting ready and is starting to play big-time football At nearby Clinton High School, Jerris McPhail was the center of attention making the All-State team and being selected to the 1990 Shrine Bowl and East- West all-star game. He had over 1,500 touchdowns and 34 touch- downs as a senior. In basketball, McPhail earned four letters and he was a member of the state champion 4X100 relay team. This kind of all-around athleticism, 4.38 speed and 37.5 inch vertical leap led to a lot of recruiting at- tention. "I was recruited by the whole ACC, South Carolina, and Michi- gan State McPhail said. "I chose Wake Forest because it was in the ACC and they gave me the chance to play offense and be on the basketball team "Pretty soon I realized that Wake was not the place for me McPhail said. "I didn't like the atmosphere there, and I felt like there was a lot of jealousy on the older players' part towards the freshmen who were coming in and taking over. I'm glad to be a Pirate because I am from eastern North Carolina, and most of my family can come and watch me play McPhail's best game of this season came against Southern Miss where he was selected for the Player of the Game by the media after picking up over 100 all-purpose yards. "It feels great to play well and beat them after coming up short last year down in Hattiesburg McPhail is a criminal justice major who would like to help East- ern North Carolina youngsters to stay out of trouble and say no to drugs. He takes his education se- riously and is a member of ECU's Football Academic Leadership Team. In his spare time, Jerris enjoys playing basketball, and has won theschool's intramural slam-dunk championship the past two years. McPhail isn't too concerned with accolades and statistics be- cause he feels like the time will come when he will be in the spot- light. "Pretty soon, I will be known nationally like Junior Smith McPhail said. "I can't worry about that now. I just want to focus on this season and doing mv job. The coaches know what they are do- ing, and so long as we are win- ning I'm happy" -& V� COLLEGE STUDENTS MAJORING IN Ulied Health I'tolessions Discover a challenging, rewarding future that puts you in touch with your skills.
