Homecoming weekend is filled with parades and celebrations at Bloomsburg University, but this vear's festivities sent many into shock and sorrow. A fire at the Beta Sigma Delta fraternity house killed five students. The fire was thought to be extinguished, but it reignited later in the night. Four residents were able to escape. First female president to head ivy league college sworn in Judith Rodin was sworn into her position as president of the University of Pennsylvania last week in an elaborate ceremony.

Curtain shields art exhibit on censorship A University of Oregon art exhibit that was originally meant to protest censorship was covered by a curtain after students and faculty lodged complaints about some of the artwork. The "See No Evil" exhibit featured 20 controversial works by artists from across the country. One painting depicted Star Trek characters Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk participating in sexual bondage. Don't feel too guilty about eating those fries Nutritionists at the University of California say an increased fat intake may actually help you eat less. Researchers found that when laboratory rats were fed meals containing the same amount of calories but different levels of fat content, those receiving more fat ate less frequently and consumed fewer calories. The research indicates that fat triggers a hormonal release that signals to the brain that the body is satisfied. College president moves into dorm room Although the new oivcampus resident of McKendree College in Illinois attended classes and participated in student activities, the new guy was no student. James M. Dennis, president of McKendree College, moved into the halls for one week just to see how dorm life really is, Dennis said. He really wanted to know what the food in the dining halls tastes like and how it feels when the alarm goes off at 7 a.m. and your roommate starts screaming at you to shut it off.

Kelly Sullivan Staff Writer ECU senior Ann Marie Marshbanks is accustomed to giving help, but now she is receiving help as the 1W4 recipient of the Catherine Virginia McCulley Memorial Schol- arship. The McCullev family established the $l,500-per-year scholarship after their daughter, Catherine Virginia McCulley, died in an automobile ac- cident April 24, 1993. McCullev graduated magna cum Iaude from the ECU physical therapv depart- ment in 1989, and had completed her master's degree in human perfor- mance. This is the first year the scholar- ship has been awarded. "I am really grateful to the McCulley family for setting up the scholarship Marshbanks said. "From what I have heard about Catherine, she was a very gcx?d therapist who cared a lot about her patients. 1 hope my work will bring some of the care and comfort to pa- tients she was able to bring to hers Marshbanks earned her bachelor's degree in biology at UNC-Chapel Hill, and went on to graduate magna cum laudefrom Dukewithamaster's degree in divinity. She is currently adding to her credentials by main- taining a 4.0 GPA in the ECU physi- cal therapy department. Considering all of her talents and degrees, Marshbanks is somewhat undecided on which direction she wants to takeafter graduation in Mav. "I'm looking a t different options? primarily in physical therapv, but I would like to be involved in church work, tcx. However, that may have to be strictly volunteer Marshbanks said.

Since joining the NCAP in 1978, Swartout has chaired committees such as employer visitation, mem- bership and awards. She served as treasurer for two years and served on the executive commit- tee. "I feel my years of involvement in the association lends itself well to the position of historian Swartout said. COMICS From p. 1 super powers and other tricks, the Marvel Comic character Spiderman is an existential hero not unlike some of the characters written by Dostoevsky and Faulkner he said. "The super powers and gizmos in comics are what is taken for granted as what comics are all about, and that is unfortunate because the actual concentration is on human inter- action and the development of personalities More of these parallels and this tvpe of commentary can be seen in the book Palumbo is anticipat- ing having completed within the next three years. "Progress on the book has been slowed down by my chang- ing jobs and having other things to work on he said. Palumbo also writes about science fiction works. One of his latest focuses being on the movie Total Recall . "Even though readers might not particularly care for the movie, they will agree that the article is clever, and they can appreciate the research he said. Palumbo went on to comment on how much research and prepa- ration has to go into writing this type of book. "There is a lot of material to work with. I've been collecting material for about 15 vears. It's fun to write about comics, but it is also difficult and time consum- ing. "Trying to explain a plot is quite difficult especially when the tar- get audience has not read the material, which is the assump- rrHu!

Characters are much easier to explain he said. In addition to having col- lected well over 15,000 issues, Palumbo also has some expe- rience with writing comics. "One of the things that im- pressed me most is how well three writers knew how to get a story across. The quality of a comic book depends on three aspects: how well the writers actually tell the story, how much theeditors improve the story, and how well the artist interprets the plot in the actual layout he said. While working directly with comics, Palumbo also noticed some disadvantages in the actual production pro- cess, one of the most obvious being the tight deadlines. "When you're having to turn out about 60 stories a month, obviously they don't always come out as master- pieces he said. "Some other disadvantages are generated by having to comply with the comic code. "The story content has to be approved for reading by children. Also, the good forces must always triumph over the evil forces or it's no longer a comic Palumbo said. "It takes about 40 hours to complete one comic book. Most of this time, about 30 hours, is devoted to produc- ing the script. Then the script has to be matched to the art- work, and because of space l egula tions, it all has to be lim- ited to about 22 pages. Economy is very important he said. In order to keep a working knowledge of recent happen- ings in the world of comics, Palumbo continues to add about $60 worth of new issues to his collection every month. Palumbo says his entire col- lection is probably worth be- tween 15 and 20 thousand dol- lars. "I would be surprised if I had any one issue worth over $100 since I only started col- lecting in the '60s. I've never paid more than $7 for one he said. "I spend about $700 a year now, and it's tax deduct- ible As far as preferences go, Palumbo does not have a fa- vorite character based solely on the personality of the char- acter, but he does have favor- ite writers, and the writer can make or break the character. One character he has en- joyed following is Dreadstar, originally written by Jim Starlin for Marvel Comics, but is now handled by the VenturaMalibu label. " Dreadstar has always been handled by the best writers. The character is now in the hands of Peter David who is currently the best comic writer he said. Some other comic charac- ters that have been fortunate enough to have good writers are the Fantastic Four, Spiderman and the X-men. "Unfortunately, these com- ics tend to be overexposed and over complicated. When a comic suffers from too much plot, it can be quite difficult to follow Palumbo said. Although Palumbo has an obvious passion for fantasy literature and did enjoy his experiences with w riting com- ics, he says that he has never considered a career in comics. "I do it for fun he says. "Besides, I'm too busy doing everything else WIN From p. 2 Franklin, assistant physical therapv professor.

Murder of children shocks America America's attention recently was transfixed to what appeared to be the abduction of two children from their mother. Newscast after newscast showed the mother lamenting the horrors of the ordeal. Most of us believed her and felt the sorrow. Hundreds of citizens volunteered their time to assist in the search effort and at least that many police officers participated as well. When the hoax was revealed, the ? nation, if not the world, was shocked. After crying wolf in front of the world, Susan Smith confessed to murdering her two children. Americans feel betrayed and astounded by the cruel turn in the situation. How could a mother do that to her own children? TEC does not have the answer to the latter question; however, we do share the hurt and frustration. This sort of barbaric behavior is disgraceful, and to say the least, tragic. Consequently, it seems that after the initial shock is over, anger is the overriding emotion. Her false accusations led to the exacerbation of racial tensions between the black and white communities and wasted a lot of persons' time searching for a phantom kidnapper. While many Americans may have a forgiving spirit about past transgressions, the cold-blooded murder committed by Susan Smith and her concurrent false accusations has probably earned her the title of most hated person in America. Is Susan Smith's tragedy a mere reflection of our society in general? The failed marriage and adultery draw an eerie parallel to Euripides play, Medea. Often times, children wrongly end up paying for the mistakes adults make. Is this behavior commonplace in our society? If anything, the episode has caused our nation to take one step back to reexamine our national conscience, if we have one. Perhaps the media is to blame. As the play Medea shows, this kind of stuff has been going on for thousands of years right? Even if the tragedy has been over reported, it just goes to show how little we have changed in over two thousand years. Mass media distorts sense of reality by Brian Hall Now that we know the truth about Susan Smith and theevents in Union, S.C. ,1 think that we should reflect on what this situation tells us about the mass media and reality. Mrs. Smith, after many tearful and heartrending pleas on behalf of her missing chil- dren, has now been revealed to be a self-confessed murderer. The same news media, which in an effort to attract viewers were exploiting her false grief, are now exploiting her guilt for the same reason. This media event could not have gone better for the networks if they had scripted it themselves. It also tells us two important things about what we see in the media, especially on television news. First, most reporting on television is on the same intel- lectual level as gossip. Take for example, last week's plane crash in Indiana. This was a terrible tragedy, and all our hearts go out to the friends and relatives of the victims. CNN, however, insisted on broadcasting hours of live coverage from the scene, pass- ing along whatever latest ru- morhappened tocomeup.This was an attempt to appeal to the worst instincts in their viewers ? the same ones which make us slow down to look at car accidents. Second, and more impor- tantly, we should realize that reality is really quite different than what we see in the media. In the case of Smith, this is ob- vious. This problem, however, goes beyond just this one case. We have largely become a soci- ety that does not believe some- thing exists unless we see it on TV, and one that believes that anything that we see must be true. For example, the most popular and violent show among American kids right now is no doubt the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Be- cause young children see real humans solving their problems with violence, two young chil- dren recently accidentally killed another child while pretending to be Power Rangers. Now I am not blaming the show for causing this death. (Just as an aside in defense of an un- fairly maligned show ? no one has ever killed anyone while imitating Barney.) However, as a result of this incident and oth- ers, the show recently has taken to adding a short clip at the end of some episodes in which the We have become a societythat does not believe somethingexists unless wesee it on TV.? ? cast members tell "real" children not to be violent towards each other. Just how confusing must this be for kids? To see their he- roes, in the course of one half- hour, send such divergent mes- sages. Moreover, obviously the shows producers believe that such a message will mean more if the kids see it on TV. Those in charge of the mass media, when faced with com- plaints about the amount of sex and violence, in movies or on TV, usually fall back on the de- fense that they are merely re- flecting reality. This is pure poppycock. Just as one statistical example, in movies especially, and on televi- sion to a lesser extent, men have a vast majority of thedialogue? on average over 60 per cent. Does this mean that men in "reality" dominate conversations to the same extent? Of course not. Another example is the di- THE CASH,NWa ) TOUCH THAT J SK??-oe.K?D Our most valuable treasure threatened: children In recent media coverage, there has been an altogether dis- turbing amount of violence in which children have been the unwary and helpless victims. That such events could conceiv- ably affect the lives of society's mostinnocentciti- zens is both ap- palling and tragic. While watching the news one evening, I wit- nessed five stories of brutal acts that ended in the deaths of children. At home, the sto- ries ranged from kids who were the unsuspecting ca- sualties of gunfire vorce rate among entertainment couples. Widely used as a de- fense for this is the oft quoted and fictional 50 percent divorce rate. It is true that the ratio of marriages to divorces for certain years is two to one. To say that this means that marriages have a 50 percent failure rate shows a complete lack of statistical knowledge. To illustrate this point, imagine if there were more di- vorces than marriages for a pe- riod of time in the country. Would this mean that there would be a more than 100 percent chance of marriages failing? Or, to choose an even more obvious example, sup- pose that the ratio of births to deaths was two to one. Would anyone that said that the odds of someone dying in their life- time was therefore 50 per- cent be listened to? The facts about mar- riage are that most people are married and will stay that way until death. Those of us (including my wonderful wife, Bess, and I) who are mar- ried will testify that married life bears little resemblance to any of the many dysfunctional families that one can see in movies and on TV. One of the silliest things that people in the media say is that they are not glamorizing the violence, casual sex, drug use and foul language, which they display endlessly. The plain fact is that whatever is projected in the media imme- diately becomes larger than life, no matter how it is dis- played. The media, in all its forms, from news to entertain- ment, has the constitutional right to show whatever it wants. Their constant protes- tations of being impartial mir- rors of society have become extremely tiring ? hopefully enough so that the American people may rewarding them with our patronage. to the present case of a woman who murdered her own two off- spring. Abroad, the tales of war- torn countries, where children suffered from hunger and the loss of their parents, were equally heart-wrenching. If the world has any hope of continuation, then it must look upon its children as mat hope. A United Nations declaration spe- cifically states: "Mankind owes the child the best it has to give Mankind has obviously fallen short of this promise. Here in America we might not be able to control the happen- ings that go on in other countries, but we certainly have the power t o change the course o f events in our own. Or problem is that we are too damned b us y being greedy. We worry about foreign trade and military spending, while our children go to bed hungry at night or are subjected to verbal or physical abuse. America should stop try- ing to capitalize on every other business venture and start in- vesting in its own children. As President Hoover once re- marked: "Children are our most "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One Of these is roots; the other wings Hodding Carter By Joshua White valuable resource Hoover's statement provides all the more reason for America to protect its investment in our youth by insuring that they are raised in a safe and happy environment conducive to healthy growth. What is to become of us as a society when our own pre- cious children are not safe from harm? What future can we pos- sibly expect to have in the face of a hostile world where chil- dren must wake to the sound of gunfire rather than a mother's compassionate and nurturing voice? America, when will you stop killing your children and start loving them? Insuring the welfare of the world's children is the respon- sibility of the entire world, not just parents and teachers. Ev- eryone must ask themselves for the sake of their future and the future of tomorrow's youth: "What can I dofor my children or my neighbor's children?" These words by Hodding Carter should be your answer: "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings Letters to the Editor- To the Editor: Halloween was made a "Christian" festival by the Roman Catholic Church in 834 A.D. It was originally celebrated by pagans centuries before the New Testament Church. The earliest celebrations were held by the Druids. The meaning for pagans is that evil spirits visit the living, and if they are made welcome or TREATED, they will leaveyou in peace. If not, they will TRICK you by casting an evil spell on you. The meaning for "Christians" and pagan factions by giving each other a little of its own flavor in this curious blend of "Christianity" and paganism, but it is a heathen celebration and should be avoided by all TRUE Christians. For you see, God has given the complete list of pagan festivals in His Holy Bible (Levitcus 23). The day that truly honors all saints is called the Feast of Firstfruits or Pentecost. It pictures the small early harvest of Christians ? the Firstfruits ? who will be born again in the first resurrection at Christ's return and rule with Him during the Millennium. In fact, Halloween is the direct opposite of another Holy Day called The Day of Atonement (The Fast). Halloween pictures evil spirits visiting and playing tricks on humans, whereas The Day of Atonement pictures the banishment of Satan (fulfilled just after Christ returns). Halloween is definitely a TRICK by Satan who must get a big laugh to see unsuspecting "Christians" do the exact opposite of what God commands and actually honor the devil and his demons. But The Day of Atonement WILL come to pass sic and Satan and his demons will be put away. May God speed that day. Donald Raymond Wheatley Grifton, NC To the Editor Your polky of reserving the right to edit letter of opinion for decency is a fallacy. It would be impossible to write something more indecent than the following comic strip which appeared in your October 13,1994 edition of The East Carolinian (The Blood of the Lamb). If the is me type of garbage that will allow these artists (?) to get a degree from ECU I thank God I never attended college. Yes, you guessed it, I am a Catholic, but I do have a sense of humor and got a chuckle out of their tying the Mass schedule in with Bingo. But is sic stops there because it appears then they lack a plot so they merely filled the rest of the comic strip(?) with any indecent word or action their small brains (?) could think of. I have one final question. Does ECU have a Weirdo degree? Yours truly in disgust, RW Dorney Greenville, NC Editor's note?This isn't the only letter we received from the local Catholic community about "Blood of the Lamb but it is the only one written as a Letter to the Editor, and it serves to reflect the comments we have gotten. While "Lamb" is intended to utilize the structure of he Catholic Church as a setting for a vampire story, the Church itself is not described as a willing vehicle for vampires or any other form of evil. Each official of the Church who is targeted by the heroes has previously been identified as an impostor who is perverting the office they hold in an effort to promote a vampirical "shadow church For instance, Father Flannagan, who is currently being pursued by the heroes, has already been identified as a vampire (note the fangs and use of obscenity), so readers who have been following the strip since August are already aware that our heroes are not killing the innocent and the faithful. No attempt has been made by the creators of the strip or The East Carolinian to suggest that the Church is in reality a haven for evil, or that officials of the Church are monsters. Another point apparently in need of clarification is that not all of the strips in Pirate Comics are meant to be funny. The term "comic strips and books" tends to leave the expectation of "Family Circus" and "Archie and Jughead Comic pages run "Mary Worth "Modesty Blaise "Prince Valiant" and other strips using extended narrative for other than comical effect. And so do we. "Omega Quest "Nick O' Time "Hachiro "Demon Seed" and other strips that we have run for the past six years reflect the diversity of genres in the comics medium, be it through superpowers or smartasses. A character in "Phoebe" just revealed her homosexuality and another in "Moppets" declared he was bisexual. We've got talking rabbits and ducks in "Magic 101" and "Lake Imp US A" and let's not forget the militaristic, transvestite squirrels in If Pigs Could Fly And then there's "Fred's Corner which doesn't need much explanation (but we have had two scenes of vomiting on the page since August; that's gotta be a record). We are providing those who want to work in the media the chance to hone their craft Also, of course, we hope the comics page entertains our audience. And, for the most part, it is. Not all strips are for everyone, though, and we suggest readers decide for themselves what they wish to read or not read.

Take it as you will. They put a television in my laundromat. Oh, there had al- ways been one there, but it was off in a corner where you could ignore it if you preferred to do your laundry in relative peace. But now they've hung this bloody great box right over the front-loading wash- ers. It blares the sounds of whatever idiot programming is polluting the airwaves at the moment, distracting me from more important pur- suits, like reading or watch- ing the clothes go round and round in the dryers. I'm reminded of the night- marish future world of the old Max Headroom show. In that world, television was every- where; even the numerous bums living in the junkyards had perfectly-functioning TV sets, by order of law. In fact, TV was so all-controlling that it was illegal to have an off- switch unless you were privi- leged enough to have a license for one. Nobody needs that much TV, but our society is swiftly approaching that point. It's getting so I can't escape the glowing eye of the television screen anywhere but in my own home. You doubt it's that bad? Perhaps not, but I did learn recently that many places in New York City have installed TV sets over the urinals in their restrooms. Let's reflect on this a mo- ment, shall we? The human body takes, what, 30 seconds to a minute to expel its liquid wastes? Are we such slaves to entertainment, do we have such short attention spans, that we need to be amused during this insignificant pe- riod of time? Our own bodily functions aren't enough to keep our attention anymore? Frighteningly enough, I feel like that's becoming the case. When I think of the slack jaws of the other laundromat pa- trons as they stare blankly up at the mighty TV god hover- ing over the washers, I can see some of those eyes not being able to follow a simple stream of urine without absolute boredom. And that's what Americans seem to fear the most. Boredom. We make timesaving de- vices that only give us more time to fill our lives up with useless activities, to avoid boredom. We drink to excess, to avoid boredom. We date and marry people we onlv marginally like, to Lifestyle Local boys make good at the Ritz Brandon Waddell Staff Writer Mention the Connells to almost anv ECU alternative music fan and you'll get recognition ? whether favorable or not. But do the same to the average person on the street, and nine out of ten won't know what you're talking about. For the past ten vears the Connells have built a small-but-solid college music fan base. "The key to our longevity is we're all just good friends who are out to have a great time, and if it ended tomorrow, I'd consider it a success guitarist George Huntley said just before their show at the Ritz in Raleigh on Nov. 4. Once fans got through the "rent-a- cop" security thugs, a lively show See DROP page 7 CD Ceviov System This box holds the key to understanding the de- vious ways of our CD reviewers. Enjoy! Pathetic Lame k Pretty ? ? Good awaited. Fans who l ntered the arena by 7:30 p.m the time the doors opened, were muscled by bouncers and not allowed to leave and come back even though the headliners wouldn't beonstage until 11:30p.m. This is the primary problem I have with The Ritz; management obvi- ouslv didn't checkSAT scores when interviewing for these jobs because they obviously were not aware that the same people they were pushing around were the ones who paid their salaries. The Connells are currently head- lining the 1994 Rolling Stone New Music Tour with opening act Lo- tion. They've been on this tour since early October, and will be until it concludes late this month in Char- lotte. "We've gotten a little more exposure through Rolling Stone, but not exponential growth. We prima- rily have been doing free concerts at colleges during the tour thanks to corporate sponsorships; the show tonight is one of the few 'regular' concerts we've done since we started outwith Roll ing Stone Huntley said. Prior to the show, tour manager George Werner promised an ener- getic performance that would be evenly mixed with old and new material. The Raleigh-based quintet played with vigor and energy to a sold-out hometown crowd at the Ritz. The band kept the 2,500 fans bouncing, jumping and nearly moshing for well over two hours. All this had lead vocalist (and ECU alumnus) Doug MacMillan giddy even when he was playing the tambourine and bandmates Huntley and Mike Connell handled vocals. They started off the show with "Wonder Why" off New Boy, a re- cently released op. Judging from crowd response, people were cer- tainly glad to ha ve theConnel Is back home. "This Time" followed and had so many fans crowd surfing that they were bumping into each other over the heads of the audi- ence. When the strong red lights came up for "Motel a mosh pit appeared and fans of all ages were involved; it included high school kids,collegestudentsand folks fight- ing mid-life crises. Since this track had the crowd in a frenzy, Doug MacMillan slowed for a solo acous- tic jam to tame the audience. The band ended the concert with "New Boy and this song had the tirst four or five rows of spec- tators grabbing monitors and throwing each other against the stage. In the process, the flood of "N.C State" T-shirts present got soaked in sweat. "It's all fun and games until you put somebody's eye out was MacMillan's introduction to the encore song "Fun and Games The lead vocalist was obviously about to fall out due to exhaustion from a job well done. The vast majority of the enthused crowd had be asked to leave by security and when I stepped out into the parking lot theonly songs coming from car stereos were by the Connells. Small audience visits Egypt Brandon Waddell Staff Writer Craziness and energy in a pande- monium sandwich was the only item on the Attic's menu last Thursday night. New York City's six man, over- extravagant, pseudo-rap showmen Too Skinnee J's opened the feast for headliners Egypt at 11 p.m. to 25 or so onlookers. Too Skinnee J's are newcomers to Greenville, and when I talked to their frontmen J Slim and Special J, they enthusiastically said: "We are fortu- nate to be in Greenville to spread the skinnee message Their on-stage antics, plaid '70s disco outfits and their version of the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" were certainly a pathetic sight to see. Even though they put a lot of effort into the show, they simply couldn't get the crowd (if you consider that few people a crowd) into their groove. For the rest of Greenville, Egypt is a band that must be seen live. If you've been waiting for a band to come along and really shake your frame, this one certainly fills the order. Their soulful, funky metallic kind of groove is one that can only be fully appreciated if you're in the audience. Egypt is currently on tour promoting their recent debut release, Soul Hammer. Their disc has been sparked by surpris- ingly good sales and normally promis- ing turnouts at their live shows though frontman Jeff Brodnax, formerly of 24-7 Spyz, reluctantly admits, "Greenville's a town we just can't seem to break The fourth song played was "Posi- tive Vibe and it got the small crowd going. "Soul Hammer" followed it and was certainly the most popular with those of us who were there. However, the track that was certainly the best was a love song called "Intro Bassist Andy Waldeck, with his powerful backing vocals added the final ingredient to frontman Jeff Brodnax's talent as a lead vocalist. Egypt's sound is refined, but still moody and unpredictable. Egypt ended their set with "People Come Together What a way to end a show! It summed up what Egypt was all about ? in your face intensity that hasn't come through Greenville in a long time. Their encore, "Live Like That brought the small but mighty crowd to its feet for the grand fi- nale. Egypt's strong harmonies made it impossible for the audi- ence to stand still. Their show is certainly one that needs to be checked out the next time they come to town.

Where is the rave scene thai is taking over most other towns with a large youth culture? I sup- pose it will come 10 yeais after the fact. There is plenty of music being released these days that is a prod- uct of this culture. The Lords of Acid are one such band, and Wi!l Brilliant Cranes Loved 0 m o While listening to the new Cranes album Loved, the one thing that I had on my mind con- stantly was clothespins. The mu- sic on this album is pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like nasally vocals. This band started back in the VooDoo-U is their latest release. The first thing you will notice about their disc is the cover; it is pornographic, I think. The cover depicts a hell scene with several red, naked demon women hav- ing loads of fun with each other, and I don't mean they are play- ing tennis either. This may hinder how the album is marketed be- cause most chain stores don't have enough spine to put any- thing like this on the shelf where it can be seen. But then again, most of the stuff that is censored these days sells like crazy. From the cover you would ex- pect some super-shocking lyrics of an overt sexual nature, but that is not the case. In fact there is only one censurable word on the whole album. They do sing about sex, drugs and decadence, but in an acceptable kind of way. The opening song and title track, "VooDoo-U is hard-core techno: super fast beats with ee- rie synthesizers, sound bites and vocals. Most of the songs are of this tempo or faster. This is definitely a dance al- early'80s with siblings James and Alison Shaw. Their influences in- clude Joy Division and various projectsby NickCaveand Foetus, though I really don't hear much of these sounds on their album. The sounds I hear make me think of The Cure. However, that's not surprising since they tour with The Cure and are huge fans of Robert Smith. In fact, Smith re- mixed the single "Jewel" from one of their previous albums which gave them their first Top 30 hit in Britain and Norway. With producers such as Michael Brauer (who has many artists under his belt such as George Michael and Belly) and flood (frequent producer for U2), I expected a much different sound from this band. I was thinking that it would have a much more pop-like edge, but what I found was a deeply depressing album of almost suicidal proportions. I think my favorite song of the bum from beginning to end. It is a little different from most techno in that they use a distorted guitar from time to time (like The KLF or KMFDM), and it takes the whole group to create their sound as opposed to one person on a sampler, drum machine and com- puter. Many of the songs take on risque subjects and flaunt them in your face. The track "Do What You Wanna Do" sums up their main sentiment, guilt free living. "Young Boys" takes on the idea of deriving pleasure from cor- rupting young virgin boys. "Out Comes the Evil" is a strange twist on the old nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel A few of the songs deal with drug use. "Marijuana In Your Brain" is a bouncy little dub reggae tune about having fun with cannabis. The slow dub doesn't last long, however; the tune soon breaks into the high speed beats like the rest of the CD. LSD is the subject of the last song on the disc, "Blowing Up Your Mind It addresses acid album was " Lilies" because Shaw spends a lot less time singing on this track. The lyrics are also a very intelligent touch for this de- pressing song, and thankfully Shaw speaks them instead of singing them. "Warm days fill my head like beautiful lilies and the sun casts a shadow on the clouds Those rainbows are long gone and mud lies where those days once shone she whis- pers, making her way through the ringing guitars and the pounding bass to give the song an interesting new twist. This song is also remixed by flood, and is not much different, but there's a little more bass and her vocals are a little more buried. It provides a nice break from her clothespin-on-the-nose vocals. Another interesting aspect of this band is the way they ap- proach their music.

No Sex in Missouri KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ? Birds do it. Bees do it. But Missou- rians aren't allowed to do it, ac- cording to some interpretations of a new state law. "I don't know what they were trving to sa v, but I know that what they did say seems to outlaw sex altogethersaid David Foster,di- rector of the writing lab at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Others disagree. One legisla- tor says it legalizes homosexual sex and outlaws nonconsensual sex. Another says it outlaws ho- mosexual sex and nonconsensual sex. The law, which took effect Aug. 28, says: "A person commits the crime of sexual misconduct in the first degree if he hasdeviatesexual intercourse with another person of the same sex, or he purposely subjects another person to sexual contact or engages in conduct which would constitute sexual contact except that the touching occurs through the clothing with- out that person's consent The bill's sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Joe Moseley, was out of town Friday and unavailable for comment. Lawyer Dan Viets wrote about the statute in the fall issue of the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers newsletter, say- ing it "appears to outlaw any pur- poseful sexual contact HouseSpeaker Ikibl Iriffinsays the only way the sentence makes sense is if the reader applies the "without that person's consent" phrase to all three parts of the sentence. In that case, gay sex be- tween consenting adults would be legal,Griffin said. "That's the only way you can read it he said.

"Dirty Willy" just may be about our Commander in Chief and his sexual exploits outside of the oval office. Politics, drug use and sexual deviance make strange but comfortable bedfellows on VooDoo-U. What we have with the Lords Of Acid's new release is about an hour of really good dance music with plenty of decadence thrown in for those who live the life ei- ther in their head or in reality. If you are not used to this kind of music, it may take a while for it to grow on you. But be careful all of you who are wary of computer- generated music. You just might like it. It's not rock and roll, but VooDoo-U is a really good album for nights of covert living. Rave on. ? Kris Hoffler as far as they have. Their end-of- the-world attitude and their al- most bashful way of presenting it gives them a different edge than some of the other bands who have come around lately, and I must say that I was kind of impressed. I really hate to harp'about Alison's vocals, but I don't think anyone could know just how much I hate the way she sings. Fortunately, this band has many good things going for them. If they didn't, would they be tour- ing with The Cure? There were manv things I liked about this al- bum, but of course every album has its drawbacks. If you are into the Gothic scene, this would prob- ably be an album you would en- joy, but remember, when Shaw's voice gets to the point of being intolerable, just skip to "Lilies Meredith Langley November 8, 1994 From p. 6 ECU Tri Beta THURSDAY, NOV. 10 FRIDAY, NOV. 11 7:30 am -1:00 pm at the Biology Greenhouse Room S-111 lem" with the law as it's written, he said.

Doesn't anyone have a hobby anymore? For God's sake, people, play a board game or something! Read a book! When I was a kid, I watched a lot of TV. As any of my friends could tell you, my brain is a virtual encyclope- dia of esoteric television knowledge. I've been con- sulted, sometimes via long distance telephone, to settle bets. But all that useless infor- mation was gathered a long time ago. Ask me something about TV since the Reagan ad- ministration and you'll find me lacking. That's because, after I discovered sex and the fine art of conversation, TV became less important to me. Oh, I still enjoy a little TV once in a while. And there are a few shows that I watch reli- giously (The Simpsons, for ex- ample). I even tape Dark Shad- ows off the Sci-Fi Channel ev- ery day and watch it over din- ner (my one guilty TV plea- sure). Television is a good mind relaxant after a long day at work or in class. It feels good to just sit back and let the images wash over you; your brain unknots, and you can think more clearly. But there's a difference between unknotting your brain and let- ting it unravel completely. Too much TV makes you le- thargic; it dulls the senses and slows your thought processes. America is addicted to en- tertainment. We've got a cath- ode-ray monkey on our back, and its claws are sunk deep into our national brainpan. And while we might not need to kill it, perhaps we should consider loosening its grip. STUDENTS, FACULTY, & STAFF, YOU'RE INVITED TO A . . . HOLIDAY WELL-FEST Fitness, Food, and Fun! ENJOY: ?

The final score (38-21) is not indicative of the effort put forth by ECU. The Pirates had more yards (460- 407), first downs, and time of possession. Unfortunately, the turnover bug that ECU had avoided all year hit them hard on Saturday, as the Pirates had four turnovers to Auburn's one. Behind con- verting these into two scores and intercepting a ECU pass in the end zone, the Tigers were able to win the game despite being outplayed by the Pirates. Junior Smith outplayed Tiger RB Steve Davis, rushing for 142 yards on 22 carries and a touch- down. Smith added three catches for 31 yards. Davis carried the ball one more time than Smith, but totaled just 89 yards rushing as the Pirate defense rose to the occasion and stopped him. Smith went over 1,000 yards for the third straight season, and has 1,012 yards rushing and 1,265 all-purpose yardage. He is rated 17th in the country in that cat- egory. "I quote myself over and over again, but I wouldn't trade Jun- ior Smith for anyone in the coun- try Steve Logan said. "Not for Steve Davis and all the rest of them. We at East Carolina are privileged to have one of the really fine running backs in the country. I mean that. He is a special player whether he is 5- foot-2 or 6-foot-3 or whatever the case may be. He proves it every Saturday Auburn struck first on a Matt Hawkins 39-yard field goal. ECU's defense set the tone early, tackling Davis twice for losses on the drive. Pirate junior inside linebacker Mark Libiano made his 100th tackle of the season on the first possession for Auburn. "They couldn't run the ball on us Libiano said. "You line up and play. I feel like we are a great team and except for one or two plays we were the better team The Pirates changed their de- fensive scneme for this game to concentrate on stopping Davis. "We noticed on film that he is a tentative runner in early stages of everv running play Logan said. "He tip-toes around look- ing for a crease, when he finds it, it's over. Our game plan early on was to hit him early and brother, we did. We hit that sucker nine ways from Sunday. We blitzed to stop the run. We call it 'Toss Sweep Stopper It really worked and I am very proud of our de- fense Despite the defensive effort, the Tigers scored again to make it 10-0 at the close of the first quar- ter behind a Davis 7-yard score. Davis also went over 1,000 yards for the season despite taking sev- eral hard hits, including one where ECU linebacker Marvin Burke, ripped off his helmet and threw it to the ground. "Our intentions were to stop their running game Burke said. "We put our name on the map, and we deserve national respect Marcus Crandell (27-46, 270 yards, 2 TD's) led the offense down the field on an 80-yard, eight play drive that took 4:04 off the clock. The Pirates capped the drive with Larry Shannon's eight- yard TD reception. This new blitzing defensive scheme broke when Frank Sand- ers, who was isolated on one-on- one coverage with Pirate DB Emmanuel McDaniel, caught a 68-yard bomb to put the Tigers up 17-7. "We extended our safety up in to run support Logan said. "We asked E-Mac to cover Frank Sand- ers all by himself. We knew what we were doing there. We didn't want them to beat us by running the football. Emmanuel accepted the challenge, and he did very well. They are the number three team in the nation, and they are 20-0 under Terry Bowden The Pirates wouldn't quit, and behind the rushing of Smith and Pirate Report Card Offense: O-Line best game of year. Crandell and Smith shine in tough defeat. Grade Bf Defense: Except for a few plays, defense shut down nationally-ranked Tigers. Grade B Special Teams: Levine plays hurt. Holcomh struggling Coverage excellent. Grade C Coaching: Excellent game plan. Logan out-coaches Terry Bowden Grade Overall: ECU gains nat'l respect with strong showing against Auburn. Grade Bf Jerris McPhail (nine carries for 55 yards), they marched back down the field. Jason Nichols's 16-yard touchdown catch was made pos- sible bv a block from Larry Shan- non. After another Matt Hawkins field goal that put Auburn up 20- 14, the Pirates got in their two- minute offense and got the ball down to the Auburn 29 yard line. The Pirates called time out and tried to set up for a score to put them up going in to the half. Unfortunately, on the heels of an apparent missed interference call on the Auburn DB covering Shannon, Auburn was able to wrestle the ball away from ECU and intercept Crandell's pass in their own end zone, preserving their lead. A stunned Auburn crowd was noticeably inaudible following the Pirates' strong first-half per- formance. Another Frank Sanders touch- down put the Tigers comfortably ahead and Jordan-Hare Stadium erupted after the 44-yard touch- down catch. Sanders had six catches for a 173 yards and two touchdowns. "He's a big time player Pi- rate safety Dwight Henry said. "I wish I could have got over there to help out but we weren't in our usual coverage. Emmanuel did well, it is just that Sanders is an excellent player, and we didn't give him enough help A major shift in momentum for the Tigers was Brian Robinson's INT that led to the Sanders score. "They capitalized on our mis- takes Marcus Crandell said. "It was just a bad decision on my part. I overthrew a few passes and that hurt us. I'll get my tim- ing down and learn from this Crandell did overthrow a few deep passes, including one to re- ceiver Allan Williams. "Marcus has been in the weight room too much Williams joked. "I have been telling him to leave those weights alone. He has so much natural talent. I know he will get better and put those in- terceptions and overthrows be- hind him The Tigers scored again on a Davis TD run and another Hawkins field goal to put them up 38-14. McPhail and Smith's rushing translated in to an ECU See AUBURN page 10 Photo by Garrett Killian Pirate defensive tackle Lorenzo West (45) has seen the most defensive snaps of any ECU player this season. He has collected 44 tackles and two sacks during the 1994 campaign. Junior proves legitimacy Aaron Wilson Assistant Sports Editor On Saturday, ECU RB Junior Smith proved once again that he is a legitimate NFL prospect whose relative lack of size should not be the determining factor in con- sidering his ability to play at a higher level. Smith rushed for 142 yards on just 22 carries, out- shining 6-foot-2, 220-pound Auburn tailback Steve Davis, who carried the ball one more time than Smith but gained just 89 yards on the day. "Junior's the best running back in the country Pirate WR Larry Shannon said. "This game showed his char- acter. Week in and week out, he gives 100 percent. The best thing about Junior is he al- ways gives credit to his of- fensive line and blocking backs. It is a pleasure for me to block for him. If we can get a good block downfield for him he can take that crease and turn it in to some- thing big Smith eclipsed the 1,000- yard mark for the third straight season. He needs just 130 yards going into the UCF game to go over that mark. Smith has 1,012 yards rushing on the sea- son, along with his 27 catches for 253 yards. This added dimension of catching the ball out of the backfield is something people have said is not one of Smith's strong points. "His catching the ball out of the backfield is some- thing that will get him in the league ECU fullback Damon Wilson said. "Jun- ior gave 100 percent like he is always going to do. With both of us being seniors, I hate to think that these will be the last games we play together. Each game means more and more. I am very proud of what he has done so far Wilson graded out (the coaching staff's individual "report card" of a player's blocking performance) at PIRATE SPORTS NOTES (SID) ? James Madison junior Patrick McSorley netted two goals, and Sipi Savolainen dished out three assists to lead the 13th-ranked Dukes over East Carolina 5-1 in men's soccer action in Harrisonburg Sunday afternoon. JMU, now 16-2-1 overall and 6-0-1 in Colonial Athletic Association play, struck early as Nathan Fairchild put a shot past Pirate goalie Chris Libert to open the scor- ing at the 20-second mark. The Dukes would stretch their lead to 3-0 at the half on goals by McScorley and Geoff Honeysett. ECU got on the board at the 57:30 mark, as junior Dan Sta ton scored his third goal of the season on a pass from Marc Mullin. East Carolina's John Swaggart netted two goals to lead the Pirates to a 4-3 men's soccer victory over American University. American took an early lead when Ignacio Tirado, assisted by teammate Scott Pearson, recorded a goal at 00:33. American's Todd Miller registered the sec- ond goal for American at 7:18 with an assist from Tirado. Tirado scored American's third and last goal at 8:08. Pirate Chris McCrea recorded East Carolina's first goal at 31:00 with assists from Marc Mullin and Kyle England. The score at intermission was 3-1, American. East Carolina's Sean Gray, assisted by Kyle England, registered the Pirates' sec- ond goal at 62:36. Gray marked his first goal of the season. Pirate John Swaggart, assisted by Jason Kelly and Chris Padgett, scored two goals in the last 10 minutes to defeat American University, 4-3. On Wednesday, the Wolfpack men's soccer team outshot East Carolina 28-9 to roll past the Pirates 5-0 in Raleigh. N.C State jumped outto an early lead only three minutes into the match when junior Mark Jonas drove in a direct kick past Pirate goalie Jay Davis. The early score seemed to wake up the Pirate de- fense, which was able to hold off the Wolfpack attack until the 31:28 mark when Ian Hooper landed a header from five yards out. In the second half, N.C. State was able to play their bench players and eventu- ally wore down the EastCarolina squad. Two Wolfpack reserves, Alberto Montoya and Rudy Higa, scored goals before freshman Brad Schmidt capped the scoring with under nine minutes in the match. The Pirates, now 4-13-1 overall and 1- 5-1 in conference play, will travel to Williamsburg, Va. to participate in the CAA Tournament, which opens Thurs- day. James Madison's Kristi Palmaccio, Samantha Andersh, Tracey Harriot and Katherine Carpenter recorded two goals each to lead the Dukes to a 13-0 women's soccer victory over East Carolina. The Lady Pirates were outshot 32-1. EastCarolina goalkeeper JaimesonPierce registered 17 saves. James Madison, third place in the CAA, raised its overall record to 10-6-1, and East Carolina finished the season at 2-15. Because ECU is a first-year team, they are unable to compete in the CAA post- season tournament. ECU's Lady Pirate swim team re- mained undefeated this season by de- feating Old Etominion 129-93 on Satur- day. The victory moved the Lady Pirates to 2-0. The Lady Pirates were led by the 400 Medley Relay Team of Amanda Atkinson (Fredricksburg, Va.), Kim Field (Richmond, Va.), Sandra Ossman (Char- lotte, N.C.) anu Samantha Edwards (Ra- leigh,N.C.)witharimeof 4:09.11.Ossman also claimed a victory in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 55.27. In the 200 Freestyle, junior Jackie Schmieder (Titusville, Fl.) defeated teammate Rachel Atkinson (Fredricksburg, Va.) to claim the victory in a time of 1:57.69. The men did not fare as well, falling to the Monaxchs 126-111 to go 0-2 for the season. For the Pirates, senior Scott Kupec (Charlotte, N.C.) did claim victories in the 1M and 3M diving events. Kupec's score of 292 points in the 1M event is his career best. Kupec outscored his team- mate Stephen Barnes (Goldsboro, N.C.) 235.8 to 216.3 on the three-meter board for his second victory of the day. Also for the Pirates, freshman Patrick Kessler (Charlotte, N.C.) claimed the victory in me200Breastsrrokewimatimeof2:14.49. Rounding out the Pirate victories was sophomore Chris Bembenek (Annapolis, Md.) in the 200 Backstroke with a time of 1:56.25. The next match for ECU will be on Sunday, Nov. 6.

"We all have roles to play, and mine is to make room for Junior to run Wilson said. "When I see him gain six-seven yards a pop, I know I'm doing a good job. Also, the offen- sive line played the best they have played all year The offensive line rose to the occasion, getting a good push up front, and contained standout defensive linemen Mike Pelton and companv, allowing just one sack and no tack- les for losses. "Junior's an outstanding back, and he al- ways runs hard. If you get Junior past the D- line, he will do the rest for you Pirate OL Shane McPherson said. "I love blocking for Junior because he makes us look good. You only have to hold your blocks for a second or two because he has the quickness and ability to cut and make people miss. He runs north and south, doesn't dance too much. He is a tough guy who always makes positive things happen "I think Junior proved to the whole coun- try that he is a great player ? not that he really had anything left to prove how good he is ECU FB John Peacock said. "He ran on Auburn's defense at will.

Smith rushed for 2,454 yards and 29 TD's as a senior at Fayetteville's E.E. Smith High School. Smith's size has made some doubt him, but he doesn't listen to his detractors. "Emmitt Smith and Barry Sand- ers aren't that big either Smith said. "It is all about your heart, not your size. I feel like I can play with anybody Smith will play in postseason all-star games and will get to show off his 4.4 speed and 370- pound bench press at the NFL's annual scouting combine. At the Auburn game there was a scout from the Detroit Lions (who wished to remain anonymous) who was impressed with Smith's play. "That kid is really some- thing the scout said.
