Friday, eight members of the U.S. Army Drill Team, Honor Guard, 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment will demonstrate precise drill tac- tics in an effort to promote pride in the country and pride in the art of perfectionism. The demonstration will be held at 1 p.m. in front of the Student Stores. "This demonstration is not only to show pride in the country and Army, but pride in perfection said Cadet Lt. Col. Tom Earnhardt. Whenit originated 30yearsago, the drill team consisted of 16 men, but today the team has grown to a group of 24. Women are not al- lowed to be on the drill team be- cause all of the team members are infantry soldiers and, currently, women are not allowed to be infan- try soldiers. "They originally started out 30 years ago as a 16-man team' Earnhardt said. "They were made up of members of the Honor Guard who were considered the best in rifle drill and marching The Old Guard's primary mis- sion is to protect the president and the powers in Washington in the event of invasion, but like other soldiers, the team is required to train in the field once each month in infantry. The drill team travels throughout the world demonstrat- ing its skills. The drill team uses M-1903 Springfield rifles which weigh ap- proximately 10.5 poundseach. The rifles are fixed with a sharp chrome-plated bayonet. The demonstration is being pre- sented by the Army ROTC and is being solely coordinated bv the senior staff of the Army ROTC. Prior to joining the military sci- ence staff of ECU, MSG Charles Thomas was assigned to the Old Guard E-Co 3rd U.S. Infantry as 1st Sgt. Thomas helped the group in organizing the event. "Very seldom do we have the chance to do anything for the Uni- versity such as entertainment, and tlris gives us the opportunity Earnhardt said. After the demonstration here, the group will travel to D.H. Conley High School to perform the demonstration to the JROTC. Later, the group has been invited to Dining-In, an all-military func- tion attended by ECU Army ROTC members and their invited mili- tary guests. Incidentally, members of ECU's drill team, the Pershing Rifles, have been invited to present the colors during the Liberty Bowl in Mem- phis on Dec. 30.

AIDS awareness raised Andy Turner Staff Writer Today in over 180 countries throughout the world, people will observe World AIDS Day in re- membrance of the lives lost to AIDS, to honor those still fight- ing the disease and to raise awareness of AIDS. m In Greenville a number of activities to commemorate World AIDS Day nave been organized by the Pitt County AIDS Service Organization (PICASO). These activities in- clude a 1:40 p.m. bell ringing by Pitt County churches in unison with other churches throughout the state; an open house at PICASO from 2-5:30 p.m a silent commemorative march leaving from Jarvis Me- ?? morial Church at 5:30 p.m; a 6:00 p. m. candlelight vigil and pro- gram will take place at the Greenville town commons and a reception held from 6:30-8 p.m. at Jarvis Memorial Church. This is the seventh annual ob- servance of World AIDS Day. This year's theme is "AIDS and Fami- lies: Protect and Care For the Ones We Love The goals of World AIDS Day are far reaching and include the strengthening of the worldwide effort to stop the spread of HIVAIDS by encouraging commitment from individuals and communities; recognizing that education is the most effective form of prevention; promoting It is estimated that 17 million people throughout the world are already infected with Hiythe vims that causes AIDS support and care for all people with HIV AIDS along with their families and friends and to em- phasize that families are essential in providing support and stability for their members. "This is something that over 180 countries participate in, and basically it is to focus attention on AIDS and this year in particular AIDS and the theme of families said Gregg Allinson, executive director of PICASO. "How to stop it and issues surrounding AIDS. Letting people know there are people dying from this and we need to stop it It is estimated that 17 mil- lion people throughout the world are already in- fected with HIV, the vi- rus that causes AIDS. In North Carolina, 19,000 to 25,000 people are esti- mated to be living with HIV. "As a matter of fact in the next 24 hours, 6,0CJ people will die from AIDS Allinson said. "It is just a way to stop and take a minute to observe the pandemic that is the ? result of this disease Pitt County ranked seventh out of 100 counties in North Carolina for people in- fected with HIV and AIDS. Pitt County also leads the nation in gonorrhea cases and is fourth in the nation in syphilis cases. Allinson believes the major- ity of ECU students are on scale with the rest of societv in their See AIDS page 5 ECU illuminates streets Luminary proceeds to aid Ronald McDonald House Susan Schwartz Staff Writer It is that time of year again ? Christmas trees, mistletoe, parties galore and decorating for the fes- tivities to come. Christmas is also time to think about the less fortu- nate. While many children are gathering underneath the Christ- mas tree to see what Santa has brought them, others will be in hospitals, fighting various ill- nesses. The Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina hopes to provide a comfortable atmo- sphere for the families of seriously ill children visiting the Children's Hospital in Greenville. The Greenville Ronald McDonald House is getting ready to kick off its annual "Light A Luminary" holiday fund-raiser. Luminary kits are sold to various neighborhoods after Thanksgiv- ing and are to be illuminated on Christmas Eve. The distribution dates for the kits are Dec. 3, 7, 10 and 14, from.10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds from sales of the kits are given to the Ronald McDonald House to offset the cost of the $227,000 annual operating budget of the house. "The 'Light A Luminary' project has grown to be our biggest fund- raiser of the year said Suzy Walker, executive director of the Greenville Ronald McDonald House. "We are preparing 10,000 kits this year, and if we sell all of them, our net profit will be over $50,000 Each luminary kit costs $6 and consists of eight candles, eight white bags, a bag of sand and an instruction sheet. Spaced about five feet apart, the luminaries will cover roughly 40 feet. Most yards and porches will require at least two kits. The kits are on sale in neighborhoods around Greenville, at Sunshine Garden Center, Evans Street extension in Greenville and at all Sunshine Garden Center lo- cations in Eastern North Carolina. "Thanks to the help of Sunshine Garden Center, we are selling lu- minaries in New Bern, Morehead City, Goldsboro, Greenville and Smithfield at Sunshine outlets Walker said. Walker said ECU students have played a large part in putting together the huge project of assembling the 10,000 luminary kits by volunteering their time. "We are indebted to ECU student volunteers who helped with this project Walker said. "We could not have put this project together without them. They have been wonderful. I am very im- pressed with the dedication and caliber of the ECU stu- dents that have worked here Walker said it says a lot for the university when students are willing to take time away from their busy schedules to volunteer to help others. Lynda Harrington, owner of Sunshine Garden Center, agreed that ECU students have been a big help in organizing the fund-raising project. "We have received excellent help from ECU students.

OSHA aims to standardize Jeb Brookshire Staff Writer Last year in industry-related jobs, 9,100 people lost their lives in work-related accidents in the United States. Proper education and training could have helped to prevent some of these deaths. In 1970, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) was en- acted to help create a safer work- ing environment for workers by regulating the safety standards used by industry related jobs. OSHA is also responsible for work- shops on job-site safety. Throughout the year at ECU, faculty members involved with OSHA have put on their own work- shops to help inform the local in- dustry of the constant changes in OSHA regulations. These work- shops usually focus on training. Lately though, OSHA has been giving workshops on the 25 most frequent violations. These include the handling of hazardous materi- als, problems involving electrical wiring, failure to wear personal protective equipment and failure to provide safety training and edu- cation. "North Carolina has the distin- guishing characteristic of setting off a real focus on safety in the construction industry said Dr. Doug Kruger, the chair of the con- struction management depart- ment. "After the fire in Hamlet, OSHA really kicked into high gear, especially in North Carolina OSHA has inspection officers make rounds often and hold sur- prise inspections. These inspec- tions are designed vo catch people who arebreaking the rules and not just cleaning up their act before the inspection. If there is a violation, steep fines are usually imposed on the violating company. "What we really want is people to go to these workshops to learn the regulations enough to be famil- iar with them said Mark Friend, director of the Occupational Safety and Health Consortium and Cen- ter for Applied Technology. "Hope- fully these industries will use OSHA as a guideline for their own pro- grams. Over time companies will see it is beneficial to make a small investment to cut back on their in- surance costs and to prevent more injuries on the job In early December, another workshop is being offered on the 25 most frequently violated regulations. What will make this workshop unique is the fact that it will be conducted from ECU to other campuses across North Carolina through a teleconfer- ence. Everyone will see the exact same thing and when a question is asked, everyone will be able to see who asked the question. This workshop will focus on identi- fying common general industry OSHA compliance violations and offer tips helpful in correct- ing them. "I guess that OSHA's main importance is that through proper training and education, the chances and the severity of injuries will greatly decrease Kruger said. Air Force supporters soar high Teri Howell Staff Writer ECU students are earning their wings, Silver Wings for Angel Flight. Angel FlightSil- ver Wings is a service organiza- tion supported by Air Force ROTC. The group is soaring high to gain new members and recog- nition for its projects and service to the community. Angel Flight began a support group for women involved in the military in the 1950s, and it gradually progressed into a ser- vice organization for women, said Lt. Col. Michael Myrick, director of ECU Air Force ROTC. "Angel FlightSilver Wings is small at ECU with ten members, but at larger schools, the num- bers are closer to sorority sizes Myrick said. "They go on trips together and have created a spe- cial friendships between them This year, Angel FlightSil- ver Wings has helped with Habi- tat for Humanity, blood drives and canned food drives around the area, the Special Olympics and the Boys and Girls Club. For Halloween, the organiza- tion helped with spooky festivi- ties for the children and will help Santa and his Helpers at the mall during the Christmas season. Myrick said Angel FlightSil- ver Wings attended ARCON, the regional weekend in Atlanta, Ga. where other Angel Flight orga- nizations come together to dis- cuss and talk about upcoming service projects, such as work- ing with the veterans for the now passed Veterans Day. This semester, Angel Flight Silver Wings has worked to help clean up some of the buildings that need a little Spic and Span and elbow grease. This special organization is for both male and female and one does not have to be involved in ROTC of the military to become a part of Angel FlightSilver Wings, Myrick said. "Angel FlightSilver Wings did use to be a strictly female organization Myrick said. "But this year, we do not have one male, which is why we are changing our name from Angel Flight to Angel FlightSilver Wings and we would like more men to be a part of the organiza- tion Ann Lewis is part of the An- gel FlightSilver Wings service organization at ECU. "We make our lives separate from ROTC, because we do not own projects and we make our own decisions Lewis said. "We do not depend on them except for the fact that ROTC's direc- tor is the same as ours, and he is extremely supportive Lewis is also a member of ROTC and grew up is a mili- tary household. "I plan to go on with my military service, but one does not have to pursue a military career to be a part of Angel FlightSilver Wings Lewis said. "In a way, there is a unique bond between all of us because we seem to have the same mind, and we all are very dedicated to this organi- zation R.

In his new video "Natural Born Killaz Shakur ? who starred with Janet Jackson in the movie "Poetic Justice" and also appeared in "Above the Rim"? plays an officer who guns down fellow rappers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Police said Shakur lost a large diamond ring and an assortment of gold chains in the holdup at Quad Recording Studios. According to police, Shakur and his three-man entourage were followed by two robbers into the building, where a third robber was waiting. "Anybody who was going into that building at that time was going to be robbed said Assistant Police Chief John Hill. Shakur was shot when he re- fused the gunmen's order to get on the floor and lunged for one of their guns, police said. Shakur's manager, 24-year- old Freddie Moore, was shot in. the abdomen and chased the gunmen into the street before collapsing, police said. He was listed in stable condition. Six months ago, Shakur spent 15 days in jail for assaulting a video director. Two weeks ear- lier, he was held overnight on weapons and drug charges. Last year, he was charged with as- saulting a limousine driver. AIDS From P-1 lack of knowledge concerning AIDS and HIV. "As a society people are not educated about AIDS Allinson said.

During the meeting our vice president brought up PICASO as being a local group that we could sup- port within our community Anderson said. "It promotes cohesiveness within our group to work on a project. "The members are doing this as a community service project, so we can support a charitable cause within our community, especially during the Christmas season.

TEC shocked by Senator's remarks North Carolina's own Senator Jesse Helms has recently been the cen- ter of attention for remarks he made about the President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton. The hullabaloo started when Senator Helms was queried about the President's competency as com- mander-in-chief of our nation's mili- tary. The Senator answered honestly and asserted that the President was not an effective military leader. Such a downgrading reply from a Senator sent Democrats, the media and even some Republicans into a rage. Not long after the vote of no con- fidence was given on television by Helms, he was quoted as saying he believed the President would need a body guard for protection if he vis- ited North Carolina military bases. This near-mutinous statement sent politicians, especially Democrats, into a raging fury, and the press into a feeding frenzy (hey, they got a story). Senator Helms made an additional statement regarding the "bodyguard" remark: He admitted that the com- ment was not to be taken seriously, and that he simply engaged in a little hyperbole to make his point about the poor state of readiness he believes the U.S. military is in at the moment. How- ever, he did not apologize. Many contend that Helms over- stepped the line of decency and deco- rum in speaking so disparagingly of President Clinton. Many found remarks that threatened Clinton's life as utterly deplorable. Still, many others share the Senator's opinion about the President's military competency. We at TEC believe Senator Helms remarks were ill-considered and agree that he should have been more diplo- matic in voicing his opinion. Saying that the President is not performing his job as the commander of our mili- tary is one thing, but to even jokingly suggest that Clinton's life is threat- ened is another. Hopefully, the Sena- tor and the new Republican majority have learned a lesson from the public outcry over Helms' remarks. Along with leadership comes responsibility; one should think before one speaks. Emasculation of the United Nations by Patrick Hinson While looking through a news magazine the other day, I saw a photo I know I won't soon forget. A seven-year-old boy lay face down on the pavement in the city of Sarajevo in Yugoslavia in a spreading pool of his own dark blood. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off the face of that little boy, lying there as if napping, his short life ended by a sniper's bullet. A sniper, mind you, not a random shell fragment, not a wild shot fired into a crowd. Someone actually set this little boy, a little seven-year-old boy, probably running for his life in the street like everyone else in that city, in between the hairlines of the scope of their high-powered rifle and shot him. You see a photo like that and you think, "Who could possibly do such a thing? The same people who killed this boy are probably the ones burning and killing entire hamlets and villages (and children) out there in the former Yugoslavia. The same people rocketing hospitals and homes and shelling market crowds of innocent people. If we're not going to help, and if the United Nations isn't going to help, then we should pull the United Nations' forces out of Yugoslavia now, because they're really not much more than a joke and a rather shameful symbol of the United Nation's ineptitude, cowardice and failure to intervene in an all-out massacre (or will holocaust soon become a better word?). The United Nations and European nations can't get their heads out of their butts long enough to make any kind of concrete decisions. Meanwhile, people die. The United Nations just can't decide, can't agree, and they wait and wait for someone to please do something. Meanwhile tne Serbs bully them and slap them around and laugh much like the big kid on the block when we were little. Much like Adolf Hitler must have been laughing, while the SS mobile killing squads rounded up people in Poland for slaughter and we watched. Where does it all end? Yesterday on the news the U .S. said that the war in Yugoslavia is now allbuthelpless, that everyone, the United States and the United Nations, has given up any ideas or hope of helping them. The marines, who spoke on television about it not being their job to fight an overseas war that has nothing to do with U.S. security, have every right to feel the way they do. Our armed forces are charged first and foremost with defending the United States, not intervening in foreign civil wars. It was the United Nations' job to stop this murder, yet they have Quotable Quote; "A generation which ignores history has no past ? and no future ? Robert A. Heinlein author "Avarice, the sphincter of the heart ? Matthew Green English poet By Angela McCullers Many women know the paralyzing fear of walking on campus at night, hearing mysterious footsteps clicking behind, wondering whether the night out was worth these moments of terror ? the dread that strikes us when we hear that a female has been raped on campus ? the sudden resolve to be more cautious, not to accept the offers of dubious men to walk us home, or not to go out at night at all. Rape is not a very pleasant subject. Most of us do not like to think about it. And when we do, we usually think of a stranger with a knife hiding in the bushes. He waits for a woman to walk by, and then he attacks. That is why a lot of us know not to walk alone after dark. But that is not the only kind of rape. Some rapes are acquaintance rapes. Eighty percent of all rapes are, in fact, acquaintance rapes. The number of acquaintance rapes against college women is alarmingly high. The reasons for this include societal socialization of males, females and males having almost unlimited access to each other as a result of coeducational residence halls and the abolition of curfews, and students advertising for rides on unmonitored "ride boards" (similar to the one located in Mendenhall). Rape on college campuses usually happens to women early in their college careers, before they know the social "rules" (a victim may also experience further episodes later on). It frequently takes place after a party, especially backed-out or been beaten back by nothing more than armed thugs once again, and once again it will be the civilians who will pay with their lives (and with their children) for the United Nations' failure. The United Nations, the world's police, have been reduced to global janitors and global social workers to be smacked around at will. One hard strike or one really heavy blow, and we could crush the Serbs, or at least send them reeling back to lick their wounds for the long winter. They're like a rogue wolf: hungry, dirty, and with a mean growl, but one good kick in the face would send them running back to the woods. One series of really heavy air strikes, not the mosquito bites that we've been giving them, and we might give at least a few more seven-year-olds a future to dream about. Is that not worth fighting for? And, perhaps more importantly, what if it were us? How would we be feeling if our roles were reversed with the victims out there? How would we feel now, with the cold winter approaching, barbarians at the gates of our city and the rest of the world slowly turning its back on us? How would we feel if that were our little boy in the street? Betrayed? Deserted? Forgotten. Doomed. one held in a fraternity house and where alcohol is served. Peer pressure, alcohol, and all-male groups are important elements that combine to increase the likelihood of campus rapes. Even though sexual assault is relatively common on college campuses, few cases are reported to the authorities. Even fewer cases are referred to the criminal justice system or for campus judicial action. Victims usually do not report cases to anyone, especially the authorities, because they often believe that they are at fault for drinking and for going out voluntarily with the man who raped them. They often worry that the authorities will blame them for the rape. Like other crimes too prevalent today, we will never be able to completely eliminate rapes on college campuses. However, effective steps can be taken to significantly reduce their incidence. Education and prevention programs and swift and certain punishment for this heinous crime can be effective deterrents. The "boys will be boys" mentality must be removed from society's mind set and be replaced by the conviction that acquaintance rape is rape, and rape is a serious crime. Rape on college campus continues to remain a problem. Although it is not talked about as much as other issues that college females face, it still exists. Rape is obviously a bad, indeed a horrific thing. It belongs to the real world in which people are hurt, humiliated and abused. No woman is safe from rape. The area of campus sexual assault Is an important one; the lives of many young men and women in college are significantly affected by it. We owe it to them to recognize it as a problem, to make every effort to reduce its incidence and to handle it in the best possible way when it occurs. Rape, we must remember, is a crime; women are the victims of it. Rape is not the just desert of any woman who dresses casually, goes out at night, or live alone. Women do not cause rape by their growing freedom. If we place the blame anywhere other than on the criminal himself, we must look at the society that creates him. Rape victims have been treated as the guilty ones, the outcasts, for too long. Imagine a world in which women had no cause to fear rape, be it at home, on college campuses or any where at all. Imagine a world in which the word 'rape' no longer served any function, there being nothing for it to refer to ? a world in which to speak of 'safe' areas or streets, towns or cities, was to speak in a mode comprehensible to none but a few historians. Imagine a world, then, in which to feel safe no longer made any sense to women, the very memory of any threat having faded away. What sort of world would this have to be? Letters to the Editor To the Editor: You know, just when I forget how out of touch Jesse Helms is, he makes a stupid comment like this. In case you haven't heard, Jesse was asked about Clinton coming to N.C. bases, and he said "Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard Uhhh I believe making threats like this is a federal offense. Some people pass this off as a joke and don't consider what Helms said a threat. If you or I were to do this, not only would we be arrested, but we would be grilled by the FBI, the SBI, as well as other agencies. Helms has disgraced the armed forces of our great state. It is unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would state the president's life would be in jeopardy were he to come to N.C. military installations. Helms says he made "an off hand remark in an attempt to emphasize how strongly the American people feel about the ntion's sic declining defense capability Which American people are you talking about Jesse? I'm not headed to the fallout shelter yet. Oh yes, he says "I didn't expect to be taken literally?" Whatever We'll j ?t sweep all other assasination sic rumors under the rug. In a period where Clinton's safety is already at risk, Helms' remarks are extremely innappropriate sic. Let's not forget he made these remarks on the day JFK was assasinated sic. Helms has had a history of disparaging remarks, and this one tops it off. He should be censured by the Senate and he definitely should not be allowed to be head of the important Foreign Relations Committee. I have been impressed so far with Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole's desire to work with the president, but Helms can only add to the gridlock on Capitol Hill. Hey Jesse, you work for Bill Clinton, you idiot! I am ashamed to call Helms my senator. I didn't agree with Bush's polices, but I respected the president of the United States. Conservatives would have you believe that everyone in uniform hates Clinton Jesse even thinks they would "rub him out but this isn't true. In the News and Observer, Senior Airman Rich Lewis admitted Clinton is doing a pretty good job. I didn't vote for him, and I still wouldn't, but he's surpassed my expectations. It's just a bad time to be president right now To all you yelling Impeach Clinton, is he really doing such a horrible job? On what standard are you basing his performance? He has kept his campaign promises, passed a lot of legislation, and has improved the economy. Helms says our defense is in serious trouble, but last time I checked, the "commies" aren't bothering us any more. In this post cold war era, the defense built up in the '80s has to be scaled down. We still have the best armed forces in the world, but Jesse Helms says that they would stoop low enough to take the life of their Commander-in-Chief. Helms is the epitome of bigotry, hate and fear, but then again, don't blame me, I as sure as hell didn't vote for him. Impeach Clinton? I say impeach Helms, and rid our state of an embarrassment. Larry Freeman Political Science Junior To the Editor: To be able to criticize the President is a freedom we have in this country. In many governments in the past, this would cause one to lose his head. Now Senator Jesse Helms has been critical of President Bill Clinton. The liberals in this country are even more critical of this Senator. Saying things like 'a Southern windbag with a screw loose' is not very respectful. How can they be so blind? Here they are pounding on a SENATOR with more venom than what Senator Helms did pound on the President with. As far as needing a bodyguard to come to North Carolina, since long before I was born any President (Republican or Democrat) needs a swat team just to enter his own home! I think the Northern liberals (and their Southern Carpetbagger allies) are a bunch of hypocrites and who show more disrespect for a Senator than a Senator did to the President. If Senator Helms had criticized Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan or Bush then maybe the liberals might have a legitimate complaint. But this current President was very critical of President Nixon during the Vietnam War. He demonstrated! He smoked pot! He did things that should have disqualified him from being elected President. But since we are such a decadent society, he seemed to be the ideal man to lead our perverted nation. Now to condone rebellion is wrong! But to condone a bunch of hypocrites ganging up on someone who has more grit than the rest of our nation put together is even worse! Now listen to me all you aging liberals who were protesters of the Vietnam War! You rebelled against the United States of America! You are now reaping what you have sowed! If Senator Helms is a hammer that is to be used to punish not only the President, but the whole polluted generation that President Clinton represents why don't you liberals just be passive like you were about Vietnam? (Sort of ironic you shouldn't be very passive now!) Why don't you just take your "whipping" like a man. All of you are like a bunch of lap dogs who think that by yipping at the heels of Senator Helms you can bring disgrace on him and other conservatives! Think again! You are about to get an overdue whipping for your rebellion during the Vietnam War! The "Clinton" generation did inhale! And they are now about to reap what they have sowed during the '60s! Love and peace hell! A piece of your hide! That's the only "peace" there will be from here on out! Donald Raymond Wheatley Grifton, North Carolina ?II II i? ii i ? i ili !

Thanks to the ECU Student Union and Interama, Inc the people of ECU have a chance to do just that. Due to the success of the 1993 Festival of French Films, Nicole Jouve, president of Interama, Inc an- nounced the 1994 French Film Festival. Interama, Inc. special- izes in the distribu- tion of classic French films to theater and television video mar- kets. Through the co- operation of Student Union, the French Film Festival has come to Hendrix The- atre. Starting the festival off last night was Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita. This sexy thriller has become a huge international hit. Starring Anne Parillaud as the hitwoman, La Photo Courtesy of ECU Student Films Committee Gerard Depardieu portrays the great iover with the mighty proboscis in Cyrano de Bergerac, playing tonight at Hendrix Theatre as part of this week's French Film Festival. Femme Nikita was remade in Hol- lywood as Point of No Return . Tonight, Cyrano de Bergerac will be playing. Written by Jean Paul Rappeneau, this film is based on the same clas- sic story as Steve Martin's Ameri- can comedy Roxanne. Playing the part of the man with the soul of a poet and a nose the size of Texas is Gerard Depardieu. Then on Fri- day, Claude Chabol's Madame Bovary, starring IsabelleHuppert, is a beautiful ren- dition of the novel by the same name being shot on location in Normandy. Huppert give a fine performance as the ro- mantic, "bourgeois" Emma Bovary. On Saturday comes the movie that spawned the American hit Three Men and A Baby, Three Men and A Cradle. The original French version got much better reviews than its American counterpart and won the French Oscar (the Cesar) for best film. The final film in the festival is Bertrand Blier's Too Beauti- ful For You. This film, again starring Gerard Depardieu, is about a confused man torn between his beautiful wife and a temporary secretary who is nothing more than plain. All five of these French films are showing at Hendrix The- atre through the weekend. All movies are of course in French, but will be subtitled in English (instead of annoying dubbed voices). So go out and see the movies that inspired some fa- vorite American movie hits. The differences may surprise you. Jump into action with ECU martial arts Kris Hoffler Staff Writer In his book, The Tao of Jeet Kune Dot the late Bruce Lee stated that the martial arts must be ap- proached with the idea of mas- tering the will. "Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your oppo- nent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him frac- ture your bones and you take his life! Do not be concerned with your escaping safely ? lay your life before him The martial arts have grown in popularity in the last few years, partly due to Hollywood's glorious portrayals of these arts on the big screen. Monies with Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Segal, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the new TV hit of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have brought the sport into the spotlight. Their techniques are flashy and seem to work flaw- lessly every time, but there is more to this art than what Hol- lywood shows. The martial arts have their ori- gins in many different cultures and traditions that have just as many philosophies and strate- gies. These arts of self-defense and combat originate mainly from China, Japan, Okinawa and Korea. They all have the same basic idea of bringing the mind and body closer together to make a more efficient unit, but not just for fighting exclusively. In fact, most styles stress humility and use violence only as a last resort. It would probably be safe to say that what they teach can be ap- plied to many areas of life. For a town of its size, there are many different styles and systems represented in Greenville that are out there for the taking. If you are an ECU student there are even more op- portunities, and most of them have already been paid for by your student activities fee. ECU's recreational services offers five different martial arts in its Club Sport program. They offer Goju Shorin and Isshinryu karate, Tae Kwon Do, Ninjitsu and Tai Chi Chaun. Karate styles are usually ei- ther Japanese national, or come from the Japanese city of Okinawa (which has its own dis- tinct styles), and generally con- sist of combat techniques that utilize the entire body in both strikes and blocks. Goju Shorin and Isshinryu are the two karate styles represented. Isshinryu ka- rate is a 40-year-old Okinawan style that utilizes locks and breaks along with the standard punching and kicking. Their par- ticular focus is in mid-range and inside fighting techniques. Goju Shorin is one of the old- est and largest clubs associated with ECU Recreational Services. Their style is a hybrid of Japa- nese and Okinawan systems that were fused together around 1930. Their overall focus is on realistic self-defense, mental and physical fitness and sport. This system does retain some of the tradi- tional as- pects of the practice while taking the effective techniques of many styles into its arse- nal, includ- i n g kickboxing. Tae Kwon Do is similar to karate in form and has its origins in Korea. Its lit- eral transla- tion is Tae (foot) Kwon (hand fist) Do (art of combining mind and body)- With the exception of Judo, it is the only martial art in the Olympics. In some ways it is less combat-oriented than karate and more focused on the art aspects. It differs from karate in the fact that the move- ments are a little more fluid and there is more of a focus on kicking in the system. Togakure Ryu Ninjitsu, or just Ninjitsu, is a 900- year-old self-de- fense combat system consist- ing of methods for striking and grappling. Their focus is on fluid body move- ments and condi- tioning the body through tum- bling and breakfalls.

The album is terrific, if you can fast-forward through about three bad songs and move on to the rest of the goods. Pisces Iscariot's name is a combi- nation of two different ideas. Pisces being a zodiac symbol and Iscariot being the surname of Judas, the betraver of Jesus. These two ideas together make an album title, but separately don't mix. It's an appro- priate title for the album, though, because Pisces Iscariot is a combina- tion of sounds from their two pre- vious albums. It combines the na- ked energv i f Gish and the polished perfection of Siamese Dream. Again, it's two ideas musically meshed See PISCES page 11 Staff Writer With the new-found commer- cial success that Hootie and the Blowfish have been enjoying in re- cent months, it was easy for me to assume their show in Raleigh last Friday night would be one of the best I have ever seen. Unfortu- nately, it was average, at best. The South Carolina quartet rose from playing tiny bars (where ad- mission was free) as recently as last spring to currently having a long string of sold-out shows (for $12 each person) in large venues. An- other disappointment was that the band has a reputation for playing awesome, energetic performances. "Before we had a label, we had to play hard to get people to like us Hootie frontman Darius Rucker told TEC just prior to showtime. At 10:30 Friday night, opening actCravin Melon had just finished warming up the 2,600 Hootie and the Blowfish fans for the sold-out performance. Thehousetights went up inside the arena and after half an hour, Hootie was introduced to the fanatical mob of fans. The band's first song was an upbeat tune called "Hannah fane This song had the audience soexcited, one fan climbed a support beam almost to the ceil- ing of The Kit directly in front of the band But that was it. b then, the screaming sweat) hordes of tans were read) to gel 1 raz) he band answered b) pla) ing lour slow songs that took away all the energy they had previously captured with the introductory song. The slowest part oi the show was an acappella version of "Look Away" by Darius Rucker. The show continued until mid- night and included most of their major label debut release Cracked Rear Vieiv and all of their first EP, Kootchypop. After a brief recess the band exploded back on-stage to starving fans and performed "Drowning" and their most popu- lar track to date, "Hold My Hand The band played two encores, and this was the most popular part of the show among audience members. I lootie and company are currently on tour in support of Cracked Rear Vim, which went gold three weeks ago. Hootie's video for "Hold My Hand" hasbeenplayed frequently on both MTV and VH-1, which the band feels is a large reason why their music is becoming so popular so fast. "Our music is being sold na- tionwide now. Being on Atlantic we got better resources and a bet- ter producer (Don Gehman) to do this album said bassist Dean Felber. The album itself is fantastic, a blendingof folk-rock with refined, polished musicianship. But the band should have recognized that each fan fought crowds, got tick- ets in advance, sold-out the venue and packed into The Ritz like sar- dines to observe a better than av- erage show. Hootie obviously did not recognize this and settled for mediocrity.

Trent Giardino Staff Writer Attention all nihilists and rebel- lious youths everywhere. A book has been written that might be of some interest to those who are just fed up with society. This book por- trays the life of one person that has grown to hate society and the way society views things, especially art. The Bookof Frank, written by Simon Black, is a satirical look at one man's point of view of the world while he is involved in his own private punk movement. Frank, the one telling the tale, is the kind of guy that has seen or at least tried it all. He takes up a civil service job and tries to make an honest living like "normal" people, yet he doesn't remember why. Soon after, his life undergoes a drastic change when he meets Henry, a beautiful darling of the East Village art scene all dressed in black. Frank vows to himself to win her over and becomes a self- styled performance artist to get her attention. He quits his job and lets his life slide to become a transient. In his debut performance he sets his hair on fire and smashes a mirror try- ing to make what he calls an artis- tic message to Henry. This perfor- mance did manage to attract atten- tion from the high priestess of the punk scene, a black magic drug dealer named Luz. Luz introduces Frank to all her freakish friends and enlists them to help in Frank's finale to win Henry. They plan one final show: a public crucifixion. Simon Black does an excellent job painting a portrait of the artist's dilemma, as well as an inside view of the conformity necessary by even the weirdest social cliques. PISCES From p. 9 This book takes a very personal tone that lets the reader get inside the head of a person with a very troubled and unlucky life. Black explains in every detail the inner workings of Frank, a man who has gone from a civil servant to a self- destructive bum who hates every- body and everything. The Book of Frank makes some very interesting comments on so- ciety and the people in it. Black uses many subplots about Frank that usually have an underlying theme. Frank makes reference to the fact that nothing is unexpected anymore. He also expresses his opinions on music and art in ways that caused me to reanalyze my own opinions. This book is filled with the thoughts of someone who has had a chance to do a lot of thinking about life. The social com- mentary Black makes is accurate to the point of being disturbing, as the newspaper's declaration at the end of the book, "MAN DIES FOR ART goes unnoticed. Surprisingly, this book was very easy and fun to read. Black's won- derful style of writing made it seem that I was in Frank's head listen- ing. Very personal and common happenings cause you to relate to Frank's plight. If you are at the point of being fed up with the people of today's close-minded society, then this book is for you. The Book of Frank is not just a superficial glimpse into the workings of a screwed-up society, it has many insightful thoughts and reflections on an al- ternative viewpoint. I highly rec- ommend this novel and I feel that it can help people who are just at their breaking point by describing a life that is quite possibly worse than theirs. together to create one album that separately wouldn't be associated. Pisces Iscariot starte out like it's going to be Siamese Dream: part two with the opening track "Soothe that's very meiiow and relaxing, much like the song title. "Frail and Bedazzled" changes things and resembles something off Gish. This song is fast-moving and quite catchy. Already, the flip flop of ideas has begun. "Whir" and "Blew Away" have floating harmonies that sound as if they were left off Siamese Dream. The lyrics are sweet but sad and the music is somber as well, in true Smashing Pumpkins style. The cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" is superb. If this track is released, the song will become a huge hit. The lyrics were written by Fleetwood Mac's siren Stevie Nicks and express a deep pain she feels within her. It's a song about unwanted, but needed, change in her life and how terrifying it is to watch your life crumble, so it can begin again. A great line from the song is, "I've been afraid of chang- ing 'cause I built my life around you, but time makes you bolder, children get older and I'm getting older too Nicks' lyrics are as heart-wrenching as any Billy Corgan song. If you aren't famil- iar with the Fleetwood Mac ver- sion of "Landslide then the Pumpkins' version could eas- ily be passed off as one of their own due to the bitter hurt it conveys. "Blue" comes just in time to save you from depression with the lively music and simple lyr- ics. It resembles "Tristessa" off Gisj with a rocky and groovy sound. The music was obvi- ously Written first and the lyr- ics written second to fit around it. It is a terrific song that's stra- tegically placed to revive you before the album ends. The next to last track, "La Dolly Vita is notably the best one on the album. It combines the two previous albums' tones to create a new polished and raw sound. This song stands alone musically, because it's a well-crafted piece and a per- fect way to end the album. Pisces Iscariot is a must for your Christmas list. The com- bination of Smashing Pump- kins styles makes it enjoyable for a true Pumpkins fan. If you can just get past about three bad tracks, it's a wonderful ef- fort and a great album. ?Shannon Gay DON'T BE A WIMP - WITNESS REAL ACTION!

"We'll know more later in the week, but both Jason and Rodney will be in the mix Dallas coach Barry Switzer said Tuesday. "Troy will suit up and probably be the third quarterback. I think Rodney should be healthy, and both he and Jason will be taking a lot of snaps this week. 1 sure like what Jason did against Green Bay Aikman said he hasn't ruled out playing against Philadelphia.

Williams has worked through this initial miscues and has been very efficient in getting the ball back to Levine improving in quickness and accuracy since the beginning of the season. " Brian has put in a lot of time in improving his snaps Levine said. "He takes a lot of pride in what he does. He made a mis- take, and it happens to be in a facet of the game where he was singled out and that makes it seem a lot bigger. I think right now everything is going smoothly, and me and Brian are going to continue to be a good team out there The time demands that Divi- sion I-A football requires has been the hardest adjustment for Levine to make so far.

Werner said FINA is in- clined to believe that "one or several coaches" could be responsible for the doping cases, rather than the Chi- nese federation itself. "We have no real reason to sus- pect the Chinese f edera tion is behind this he said by telephone from Karlstad, Sweden "I would be very surprised if the federation is behind it He noted that FINA recently banned an Indonesian coach for pro- viding a swimmer with drugs. The FIN A official rejected the idea, suggested by some sports officials, that China should be banned from major swimming competitions until the doping problem is brought un- der control. "It's very easy to say thatbut with- out any kind of proof, we can't take any action like that Werner said. "Let's just wait and see how many (positives) there are, where they are, BOX From p. 13 and get an explanation from the Chi- nese federation, before we go any further Allegations of drug use escalated at the World Championships in Rome in September when Chinese women won 12 of 16 gold medals. The Chi- nese won all 15 of their races at the Asian Games, raising further suspi- cion. If the new cases are confirmed, they would bring to 13 the number of positive tests for Chinese swimmers in the past two years. That compares to only seven positives among other swimmers since 1972. The International Olympic Com- mittee (IOC), the world's highest sports authority, is accentuating the positive aspect that the drug-testing system is working rather than ac- knowledging that there may be a major problem in China. There was no official comment from IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. Last month, IOC presi- dent Juan Antonio Samaranch had declared that "Chinese sport is very clean Bowe expressed no remorse, Bevrooty said, adding that Donald left the press conference almost immediately after the in- cident. Bowe stayed around to answer more questions. "Heck, no Bowe said when asked if he regretted throwing the punches. "This was the first time in all the years that I've gone to these kind of press conferences that a guy was actually hit Beyrooty said. Saturday night's bout is scheduled for 12 rounds. Donald, 27, is 16-0 with 12 knock- outs. Bowe, also 27, is 34-1 with 29 knockouts. Bowe beat Evander Holyfield on Nov. 13, 1992, to win the undisputed heavyweight cham- pionship, but lost in a rematch on Nov. 6,1993. Bowe's last fight was against Buster Mathis Jr. on Aug. 13 in Atlantic City. The bout wa s declared no con- test because Bowe hit Mathis while he was down.
