NC 12 pages Booze it" program deemed successful Katy Newton Staff Writer The eyes of the nation are on North Carolina. On Nov. 14, "Booze It & Lose It" went into effect and became one ot the largest anti-drunk driving ef- forts ever launched in the United States. Three weeks later, "Booze It & Lose It" has come to a close with a whopping 3,858 driving while intoxicated (DWI) arrests under its belt. For the past three weeks, law enforcement officials imple- mented "Booze It & Lose It" by setting up around 400 check- points per week throughout North Carolina's 100 counties. Chief FT. D'Ambra of the Bethel Police Department said, "We were looking for DWIs and any other offenses we could find 4f North Carolina Governor's B00ZE IT Cj Tj Highway Safety Initiative & LOSE IT COUNTYCheckpts 01 2 3DWI 7 2 3 TotalSpeeding 7 2 3 TotalSeat Belt fl U2 3 TotalDWLR 1 2 3 Total CARTERET4 11 419 22 22 6372 116 151 33918 14 22 5426 1918 63 CRAVEN1 2 311 15 12 3892 175 102 36917 36 28 8113 1514 42 GREENE2 1 23 14 83 8 11 220 2 2 41 15 7 PITT3 7 2026 20 33 79117 155 147 419117 29 33 17913 2017 50 WAKE8 11 1254 114 97 265307 578 273 1158307 119 100 52661 90 75 226 1 WILSON19 17 2115 17 17 4999 , 158 146 40399 20 22 14111 5 13 (29 The checkpoints were in the form of roadblocks, and at these roadblocks, each driver was re- quired to present a driver's li- cense and vehicle registration. Officers ran checks on license and vehicle tag numbers, and they also made sure people were wearing their seat belts and properly restraining their chil- dren. If officials thought a driver had been drinking, they would conduct verbal and motor field tests and, if necessary, use the passive alcohol sensor, a device that allows officers to measure alcohol concentrations. "We're not doing anything different than what we have been doing said 1st Sgt. W.D. Campbell of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. "The difference is in the combined effort In Pitt County, this collaboration included the Highway Patrol, the Pitt County Sheriff's Depart- ment, the Department of Motor Vehicles and local police depart- ments, which included Greenville, Bethel, Winterville and Ayden. While efforts to stop drunk driving are old news, "Booze It & Lose It" is innovative in its approach. Emotionalappealsby innocent victims in wheelchairs and by distressed mothers of children killed by drunk drivers are touching, but they simplv are not deterring the thousands of people who get behind the wheel after an evening (or after- noon or morning) of partying. Col. R.A. Barefoot of the North Carolina Highway Patrol recognizes the problem. "Re- search shows that appeals to do what's right don't work for people who drink and drive Barefoot said in a press release "What deters them is the risk of getting caught and losing their license. Like the television ads say, 'We're going to get them, all of them Even though drunk driv- ing has become quite the po- litically'incorrect thing todo, last vear, there were 469 al- cohol-related deaths in North Carolina. The good news is that the numbers are going down. There were 534 alcohol related deaths in 1992 and 561 in 1991. But as D'Ambra pointed out, "Those statistics don't mean anything until we drive those figures home Each year, we lose a city the size of Greenville in traffic fatali- ties Despite the intensive ef- fort provided by the "Booze It& I ose It" campaign, DWI arrests are also down. -V - See BOOZE page 3 Congress faces legislative battles (AP) � Congress' next gen- eration of leaders, Democratic and Republican alike, are set- ting independent tones that au- gur an era of sparring between the two parties as well as within them.

Trent Lott of Mississippi looking over his shoulder as his top lieu- tenant And the two new Demo- cratic leaders, Tom Daschle ot South Dakota in the Senate and Richard Gephardt of Missouri in the House, warned that they would distance themselves from the administration and President Clinton. "We want very much to work with the White House' Daschle said in a typical statement. "We will not be leel bv them We will not view ourselves as an exten- sion of them Perhaps the most assertive new leader of all will be Rep. Newt Gingrich, R-Ga apointed yeasterday by Republicans as their candidate for speaker, a choice that will be confirmed by the full I louse when it convenes Jan. 4. Gingrich, 51, is one of the most conservative of Republicans and replaces the moderate Rep Rob- ert Michel, R-lll 71, as party leader, t le v ants to carry out the Republican "Contract With America a campaign-season doctrine promising tax cuts, stark changes in welfare and other measures that are likely to spark conflicts with Democrats.

He is a bit- ter foe who helped bring down Speaker Jim Wright, D-Texas, and whose aggressive tactics have been personally vexing for years. Gephardt, 53, takes the top job being vacated by the defeated Speaker Thomas Foley,D-Wash 65. Both men have been more inclined to seek consensus than to engage in partisan warfare. But Gephardt has a sharper edge and vowed last week to protect "workers, middle-income fami- lies, the poor families of our coun- try" � a sure sign of opposition against COP proposals that Democrats construe as helping the rich. Gephardt shares similar prob- lems with his 46-veat old Senate counterpart, Daschle. Democrats have vet to figure out whether their repudiation by voters means they should edge toward the political center where most votes are, or nurture their most loyal constituents � minorities, women and labor. So at least until the politics of 1995 becomes clearer, they are choosing a middle ground. "We stared ready to work co- operatively said Daschle, who replaced Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine, 61, who is retiring.

Parking deck questions continue Popular idea has price tag Wendy Rountree Staff Writer To build a parking deck or to �lot build a parking deck � that seems to be the question loom- ing across campus because ot the current parking situation "There has been rhetoric on- going about parking decks ever since I've been here ami I've been here now five years said Layton Getsinger, assistant ice chancel- lor for business affairs "Every time there is a parking problem or perceived parking problem or there's a diminishing numbei oi parking spaces as with the new construction, people always come up, 'Well, we need parking decks Getsinger said when ECU went up on parking decals from $50 to S70 three years ago. stu- dents began parking their cars on the streets of the neighbor- hoods surrounding the campus. and the communities began i ommending that the university build a parking deck. As a result,Getsinger said the university began looking into the possibility ot building deck. "In the state of North Carolina � basically, in the country � parking decks cost anywh from around $6000 to $9 parking space Getsinger said (ietsingersaid there are added ted tohavinga park- ing deck "You have the ong ha e to ha e someone staffin to ensure that people who authorized to use it are u 1 hen you have the problem will pei � ou have to charge a premium for people who utilize it because not everybody can park in there For a parking deck to be cost effective, Getsinger said it must have at least 1000 parking spaces. The univer- sity looked into a parking deck of 1800 spaces because the Master Plan, issued in 142, predicted the univer- sitv would need 2000 more parking spaces between now and the turn of the century, based on a projected growth rate of two percent per year of the student population. it has not materialized thus far Getsinger said. "We've had sort of a flat growth rate in our student population, so right now we are behind in our growth.

Greenville Blvd Greenville 756-9977 GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT PARGO'S SGA ELECTIONS FOR SECRETARY TO BE HELD ON DEC. 7 ISPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING Hendrix Theatre Presented By he Student Union Films Com; PARKING From p. 1 about the average of what we sell per year Getsinger said. "We would get 550,000 from hourly parking meters and then we would have an annual student fee of S64. That's on top of the already 570 you are paying "In scenario two, we increase the decal by $160 annually ver- sus the S50 increase, and we have the same 550,000 from the park- ing meters, but no student fee increase. In other words, it would be all on the back of the 10,000 people who buy parking decals Getsinger said. Basically, even though all 10,000 people who buy parking decals will pay either 5184 a year as in scenario 1 or 5230 a year as in scenario 2, only 1,800 people will actually be using the facility. Getsinger said the university would have to start charging these prices for decals before con- struction would actually start to have enough money to satisfy a bond requirement, which is needed to fund the deck. Getsinger said the issue more strongly concerns the staff and faculty than students because they will still be on campus after four years. "Unlike faculty or staff, stu- dents pass through this environ- ment like I did. I was here for four years Getsinger said. "The I problems are still going to be there for those who stay behind However, Getsinger said the ultimate decision to build a park- ing deck would have to be made by students and faculty and staff. "The decision to build one is not the decision that rests with the administration Getsinger said. "The administration would be the ones to implement the de- cision once it would be made. The decision would he put be- fore the students and the faculty and staff Getsinger said his research on the parking deck was given last spring to the student govern- ment, the faculty senate, the chancellor's staff and the counsel of deans. He said most people who received the information on the parking deck did not realize the cost. "Everybody who has had a brief on this said, 'Wow, we didn't know it would cost this much money. I didn't know it would affect me this much personally. I'm not in favor of that Getsinger said. Getsinger said the state of North Carolina, since the 1970's, has a mandate that all parking at state facilities has to he paid for by the users of the lots. The state does not pay for parking lots at state buildings. While the university was look- ing into building a parking deck, Getsinger said it was comparing the same 1800 spaces with more surface parking. "The cost per space is $1000 versus 59000 per space Getsinger said. "The total cost of thatproject would be SI,800,000 The parking decal would have to be increased by S50 annually. After reviewing the outcome of the comparison, Getsinger said the university plans to continue developing surface parking ar- eas until land contiguous to the campus is used up completely. "People that we have talked to at other institutions � Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Charlotte � all these schools have parking decks Getsinger said. "The one consistent theme that comes out of all of these people is that you do not want to build a parking deck unless you have absolutely run out of land to build surface parking. Parking decks are a luxury, not a necessity. " "They are things that are sta- tus symbols, not necessarily pro- viding the service that they are designed to provide unless you are land locked, which we aren't right now Recently, ECU has acquired it and asphalt 150 spaces at Ha-iington baseball field Getsinger said. "It would also give us the capability of con- verting the playing fields be- hind the north side of Ficklen Stadium. It would also allow us tocut Ficklen Drive through from where it currently stops over to Berkeley Boulevard, which would allow us to get a circular route for our bus traf- fic and our shuttle buses from Minges over to Christenbury and back up to College Hill However, some students said they do not want to pay increased fees whether it is for a new parking deck or more surface parking. "Concerning the parking situation, I believe that more parking is indeed needed said Tony Morace, a senior English education major. "I do not believe that those who will not have the opportunity to utilize the proposed parking, should be required to pay for it in higher parking fees. It is enough that my student fees have been bloated to pay for an addition to Ficklin that will not be open during my enroll- ment. I would rather see an increase in fees put towards direct educational enhance- ments Getsinger said all this plan- ning is to eventually move most parking away from the core of campus by offering lower decal prices to students land located near Allied Health on Charles Boulevard from the who park in perimeter lots and Blount family. The university use the bus system plans to change this area into in- tramural fields and develop the present intramural fields behind Ficklin Stadium into more com- muter parking lots. "I would probably go with that idea better than a parking deck just because of the cost in the long run, keeping it up, the secu- rity and the bills for it said Col- leen Larkin, a junior English edu- cation major. "I think it would be better to make more lots Getsinger said in order to pay for developing new parking lots 530 to 548 on the perimeter, and mending old ones, the board We are trying to find all the is going to be asked on Dec. 8 to increase the decal fees by 528, going from 570 to $98. "The reason for the request for increase in fees is to allow us to go ahead and asphalt the fresh- man lot at Allied Health to con- vert the remainder of that field in to freshman parking and asphalt "By creating parking lots by Allied Health and Ficklin and Minges Getsinger said, "that gives us the opportunity to start allowing people to make that adjustment. We're mak- ing parking fees so attractive out there that it would entice people to give up parking here and park out there and ride the shuttle back and forth "The recommended park- ing increase is going from $70 to 598 for core parking and for NewmanCatholic Student Center FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Thursday, Becember $ ALL MASSES WILL BE AT THE NEWMAN CENTER (953 E. 10TH STREET- 2 HOUSES FROM THE FLETCHER MUSIC BDG. different things that would be a reason why people can't park on the perimeter and trying to eliminate those The freshman lot at Allied Health will be finished by next fall, while the other lots at Ficklen and Harrington will be ready in two years. "We are positioning our- selves financially to be able to pay for these things and to bor- row as little money as pos- sible Getsinger said. In the future the university has plans to go to a zone style of parking. Level A would be at the core of campus and Level B would be on the perimeter. Students would pay the stan- dard price for Level A while students pay half the standard price for Level B. Getsinger said, however, that students who want a park- ing deck and want to pay the cost should speak to the stu- dent government and have their wants voiced by their stu- dent representatives. If the de- mand is there, he said, the ad- ministration will move for- ward to building the deck. -t tf& ATTIC ��ft t 752-7303 N C s Legendary Rock N' Roll Nightclub now in it's 23rd year 209 E. 5th St. Greenville, NC Undefeated.

The first was that Dahmer was allowed to be killed while un- Clljder the state's protection. -u While many have stated that this was a fitting end to a te murderer's life, this was not jus- o "rice, this was murder. The bigger injustice, how- ever, was that Dahmer was al- � lowed to live in the first place. If the state of Wisconsin had the death penalty and had used it in this case, then the ,Zfamilies of Dahmer's victims L.Lwould have been spared the ���"painful memories this incident �doubtlessly brought up. They � also would have been spared the victim status now accorded JJJDahmer. 3� Crime has now surpassed the economy as the number one concernof the American people. "In response, most candidates in this past election sounded as � they were running for sheriff, not Congress. These candidates made the usual responses about get- , . ting tough on criminals. Real toughness will require the ex- pansion of the use of the death - penalty, not such phony gim- " micks as "three strikes and ' you're out or gun control. The reason that the use of the death penalty will have to be expanded is simple. Murder, V.Z as the most heinous crime, sets - the upperbound of punishment �-� in society. If we leave the average sentence for murder in our M country at the present 25 years to life (with actual time served about 11 years), then the sen- tences for rape, kidnapping, etc must be proportionally lower. For example, if the average sentence for rape is raised to 20 years (which would mean about eight actual years behind bars), then as a society we are present- ing a dangerous temptation to rapists to kill their victims. By killing his victim, a rap- ist potentially adds only three years to his sentence while si- multaneously reducing the odds of being captured. If, however, the sentence for murder is execu- tion, then a sentence of 20 years or more for rape actually makes sense. Moreover, such tactics have worked in the past, even without wholesale executions. For ex- ample, from 1930 to 1950, mur- ders of all types in our country ranged from 5,000 to 7,000 per year. Executions in the same time period ranged from 117 to 199. Thus a murderer faced a 1 in 25 chance of being executed. Pres- ently, however, the odds of actu- ally being executed for commit- ting a murder is about 1 in 625. Not only were murders more likely to face execution, such a sentence was carried out much more swiftly. For example, on February 15, 1933, an anar- chist attempted to kill President- Elect Roosevelt in Chicago. He instead killed Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. When Roosevelt was inaugurated five weeks later, the murderer had been tried, con- victed and executed. No crime policy can pre- vent all murders, but there is at least anecdotal evidence that by Brian Hall somecanbe. For example, many retired police officers related that when they arrested armed robbers, frequently the robbers themselves had either disabled their guns or refused to load them. When questioned, these men stated that they did not want to take the chance of shoot- ing someone in the course of a crime, for fear of the executioner. Contrast such actions with today's crimes when many thieves shoot their victims for no reason whatsoever. The most common attack on the death penalty is that it is unfairly implemented and dis- criminates against minorities. This is true, though not in the way most opponents believe. Blacks, for example, make up a larger percentage of executed criminals than their proportion in the gen- eral population. When just the population of convicted murderers is looked at, how- ever, one finds that white murderers are more likely to be executed that black mur- derers. Black lives are being un- dervalued, but it is the lives of black victims, not black murderers. As a society we need to be just as willing to sentence a black on black murderer to death as a white on white murderer. The only way to see that justice is done in all cases is to see that all first degree murderers, regardless of race, are sentenced to the only fit- ting punishment for their crime: death. Is the spirit of Christmas authentic? Christmas time is almost upon us with holiday wishes and peace on earth and good will towards men. Tis' the season for increased commercialization in retail stores and out-of-work Joe's playing Santa Claus at the mall. Just what is all this seasonal festivity about? Originally, Christmas started out as a holiday devoted to honoring the birth of Christianity's founder, Jesus Christ. However, over the course of time, Christmas has been relegated to the same status as Halloween or Easter. It is just another chance for the greedy bastards that control corporate America to exploit people on an important religious holiday. Quite simply, Christmas has nothing to do with jolly old Saint Nicholas or receiving an expensive gift under the tree on the morning of Dec. 25. The holiday also has nothing to do with sugar cookies, Frosty the Snowman and Christmas music being piped into elevators and waiting rooms in hospitals. While I am not trying to negate the images that people associate with the season, I do feel that people have attached a great deal of superfluous symbolism to Christmas , which has absolutely no bearing on why the holiday is celebrated in the first place. This is not to say that there is one expressed purpose for celebrating the holiday, but that the initial meaning behind various traditions has become obscured. Religion is obviously the underlying reason the holiday's being celebrated in the first place. Dec.25 is designated as the birth of Jesus Christ, although historically, there is no evidence to suggest that Christ was born on this precise date. The facts concerning when Christ was born are not the most significant issue. What is at issue are the reasons that motivate people to celebrate a holiday in honor of someone, who they honor by doing everything contrary to the teachings of that person. Jesus did not say that people should recreate the act of the Magi By Joshua White by giving exorbitant presents on Christmas (but I somehow have the feeling that if retail merchandisers could sell packages of frankincense and gold they would.) He also did not put emphasis on material possessions, although this is the form that people's "love" takes on Christmas. If anything is to be gained from the holiday, then it is the message of peace of love towards all of humankind. Why this attitude should only persist one day out of 365 is questionable. Peace and good will towards all men and women should be a matter of course all year round. This Dec. 25, while you are opening presents and listening to Tammy Wynette's version of "Here, Comes Santy Claus do not forget what the season is about. Most importantly, remember that peace and love should be extended to your fellow man and woman everyday, not just at Christmas. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: On 29 November 1994, your paper printed an article by Joshua White titled "Watch out, here come the Republicans In this article Mr. White discusses the infamous Newt Gingrich, the highly debated school prayer issue and whether Republicans are "illiterate or simply have a flagrant disregard for the" Constitution. I should say that I am a Christian Republican who can read, and I hold the United States Constitution close to my heart. The Constitution's First Amendment reads in part: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof Mr. White made his first mistake when he referred to this amendment as "Article I " of the Constitution. Article I of the Constitution establishes Congress' legislative powers. His second mistake comes in his interpretation of the word "establishment Establishment here refers to the creation and enforcement of national religion. Those in favor of school prayer are not working to create a national religion, but instead allow children to pray and worship God. If being a Christian and worshipping God is so terrible, then why don't we remove the phrase "one nation under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance? Without God, Mr. White, you, nor I, would exist! We must give our children time to pray each day, at home, at church, and at school. Mr. White, I hope you don't end up in hell. We will be praying for you. Tony Joyner Senior Political Science To the Editor: I am writing you in concern over Joshua White's article, " Watch out, here come the Republicans in November 29, 1994, edition of The East Carolinian. After reading this article, my primary response is: Typical. In voicing his personal opinion, Mr. White resorts to school yard insults and untrue stereotypes against the Republican party. Referring to Newt Gingrich as a "slimy worm-eating critter" and to Dr. Seuss' "The Grinch" is childish and meaningless to his argument. He also misrepresented the Republican standpoint about religion in school. He made it seem that a typical scenario would be that every morning at school everyone morning would be preached to in a Christian vc Lee. THIS IS NOT THE REPUBLICAN STANDPOINT. The Republican's only point is that it should not be illegal for prayer to occur in school. That is the simplified version of course, but nonetheless, their idea. Mr. White also said that the "twenty- something voters" were in for a shock when they found out that the Republicans don't give "jack-squat" about their interests. My only comment to this is that I, as a "twenty- something voter voted for whom I believed would help America as a whole and not for my own personal interests. Due to the word limitation, I must end this letter. Before signing off, however, I would like to note that Mr White's stereotype of Republicans as "conservative yuppies" is the same as the stereotypical Democrat as a long haired, hippie type, Communist pinko.

It was a feast holiday of some sort, when our heathen ancestors got to- gether to eat, drink, be merry and carouse til dawn. It was the mother of all parties, not unlike downtown Greenville on Halloween. When the Christian church spread north via the Holy Ro- man Empe, the Christian missionaries were shocked by the pagan's behavior. They knew they had an uphill battle ahead of them if they were going to convert these hedo- nistic folk to the ways of the Lord. So, they stepped in and told the pagans that they would no longer be celebrat- ing the feast on December 25, but the birth of Christ instead. After a few pagan skulls were cracked by the mission- aries' Roman guards, some bright pagan asked, "Can we still have the orgy" The weary missionaries begrudgingly said yes, and so the pagans agreed to celebrate this new holiday of Christmas. Though still pagans at heart, they were now Christians by name, and the soldiers more or less left them alone (except at tax time). As the years and genera- tions passed, the former pa- gans came to accept Christian- ity and Christmas. The winter feast was forgotten. Christian- ity rode on the backs of ex- panding empires, leading to the discovery and coloniza- tion of a new continent, and ultimately to the founding of America. Christmas has survived all this time, a celebration now as old as the winter feast it re- placed. But now it's under at- tack by another new-but-simi- lar holiday called X-Mas. A holiday of capitalism, X-Mas celebrates merchandising. It revels not in the joy of giving, but the thrill of buying. It's a shopping holiday with a name that denotes its ultimate mean- inglessness: X-Mas, the ge- neric holiday. And like our pagan ances- tors, whose happy orgy was set upon and slowly changed by the Christian missionaries, we've allowed the retail mis- sionaries to change Christmas. Whereas Christmas has a tra- dition of 12-day celebration, X-Mas is the ever-expanding holiday; it get longer every year. The first X-Mas decora- tions of 1994 popped up at Wal-Mart (an X-Mas holy See DROP page 8 The East Carolinian Lifestyle Trapped in Paradise without a clue Ike Shibley Staff Writer Trapped in Paradise stars Nicho- las Cage, Jon Lovitz, and Dana Carvey as three wayward broth- ers struggling to get out of the small town of Paradise, Pennsyl- vania after having robbed the town's bank. Unfortunately for the brothers, the people of Para- dise are too friendly. Not only do the gentle townspeople un- knowingly care for the crimi- nals, but they also manage to make the brothers feel guilty about their deed. judging from the audience reaction, most viewers enjoyed themselves because laughter could be heard every few min- utes from the nearly packed theater. Not only did the situa- tion draw laughs, but all three leads got to exercise their comic skills with consistently funny results. Trapped in Paradise begins with Dave (Lovitz) and Alvin (Carvey) Firpo being released from prison on parole. During the course of the exit interview the audience learns that Dave isa habitual liar (though Lovitz never once says "yeah that's the ticket") and Alvin is a klep- tomaniac. The only brother not in prison is Bill (Cage), the most mature, and sanest, of the brothers. After Bill and Alvin get re- leased from jail they coerce Bill into driving them into Para- dise where, unknown to Bill, they plan to rob a bank. Once Bill sees the ease with which the bank can be robbed, his brothers cannily convince him to help rob it. Once the three brothers manage to obtain the bank's money, after a hilariously lengthy ordeal in which they have to bring all the people from the diner across the street into the bank, they have difficul- ties leaving Paradise. One of the reasons the Firpos have trouble is that Alvin, the get- away driver, takes them around in a circle. "I just took four left turns, like the map said protests Alvin little long for a light comedy but mildly entertainingscenes like this one keep the film flowing nicely. Mildly entertaining describes most of Trapped in Paradise. The actors get as much mileage as they can from their roles but cannot create a comic masterpiece with- out a good script. They probably make the film funnier than it ter are all rather trite. The story relies on too many of the same jokes, like Alvin stealing anything he can get his hands on and Dave constantly telling bigger lies, to draw inspired laughs. Nicholas Cage once again shows his versatility by filling Bill Firpo with warmth, humanity and hu- mor.

Enjoy! . � . wWHnH� Photo Courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox John Lovitz, Nicholas Cage and Dana Carvey stare blankly at the camera from their four-seater sled in the new 20th Century Fox film Trapped in Paradise. The film screened last week at Hendrix Theatre as part of a three-film sneak preview program. The next film in the program, Mixed Nuts, shows tonight at 8 p.m. in an attempt to prove that he has not taken his brothers in a circle. Comic situations like that one pop up throughout the film. Trapped in Paradise is actually a should have been, but that still does not equate to a truly funny film. The comedy is too broad to really hit its mark. Most of the scenes that evoke the most laugh- ther help nor hurt his career, but the film does show why Cage will probably become a relatively big star in Hollywood. Lovitz and Carvey do more of what they excel at doing. Lovitz lies and Carvey combines his George Bush impression with Garth's attitude to form Alvin's character. Both stars are funny but neither has the screen pres- ence of Cage. The supporting cast of Trapped in Paradise is a pleasant surprise, especially Madchen Amick (best known as Shelly on Twin Peaks) who plays Sarah Collins, the girl that Bill Firpo falls for. John Ashton, Donald Moffatand Richard Jenkins add great support. If the leads help make the film funnier than it should have been, then the supporting cast makes the film warmer. They give the town of Paradise a hos- pitable personality. Trapped in Paradise pro- vides enough laughs to warrant a guarded recom- mendation. When com- pared to last year's holiday film about a small village, Grumpy Old Men, this new film cannot compare. But for two hours of laughter with a bit of good cheer thrown in, Trapped in Para- dise will do quite nicely. On a scale of one to 10, Trapped in Paradise rates a six. This was the second of three sneak previews to be shown at Hendrix Theatre this semester. The third and final film to be shown is Mixed Nuts, a comedy star- ring Steve Martin and di- rected by Nora Ephron, who is best remembered for Sleepless in Seattle. Mixed Nuts will be shown tonight at 8 p.m Hendrix. in Children's minds inflated by Garbo and crew rii�ir-�.uiu�u,tnn� f cnri tho trir-v tr thi indpmiis an- self and Santos into one f;i Jennifer Coleman Staff Writer Fred Garbo's "Inflatable Com- edy Theatre" played to a house full of children, ranging in age from one to ten, and their parents.

And there's really only one thing I can say to those of you who missed it: "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah This was the most exciting, thrilling, amazing show I've ever seen. Put aside the fact that Fred Garbo has starred on Sesame Street for eight seasons as the man inside �QQQ9Q2QI E The Connells New Boy Pathetic Lame Pretty Good � Brilliant I guess you could say that Raleigh's Connells have made it big. Since its release a year ago, their latest CD, Ring, has sold over 150,000 copies. Their tour in sup- port of the album has been quite successful so far. They have played 200 gigs in the last 10 months, play- ing with such acts as Neil Young, Booker T. & The MGs, Blind Melon and Catherine Wheel. In Septem- ber of this year they started an- other tour of the South with very little rest from the last tour. Their new EP, New Boy, was designed to be given out at those shows as a souvenir and will be in stores soon after. It is a six song EP with tracks from various sources. The title track is off Ring, and there are three unreleased songs (one of which is a cover) and two live ra- dio broadcasts. If they aren't care- ful, they may find themselves among all the other alternative- gone-top-40 bands. The title track from Ring was reprised and featuresTheConnells signature melody and the soft vo- cals of MacMillian. It sounds like a real nice love song, yet the lyrics are about domination and submis- sion. There are two new tracks on the disc, "Logan Street" and "Wonder Why Once again, there is no mis- take that this is The Connells; both songs have that melancholy pop sound that the band is known for. They have the alternative sound, yet they are not really abrasive, which is a formula that may prove to be successful on the popular charts in the near future. Then there is the one cover song on the EP, "Living in the Past It is a cover of a fairly well-known song by Jethro Tull. They have been playing this song in their live sets during their recent tour and de- cided to record it for this release. It really is an excellent cover, and it's not really that different from the original. The vocals translate well to Connell-ese, and the music proves to be a little more mellow, but still good. It seems particularly strange to me that the sentiments expressed in the song fit the hip- pies it was addressed to originally just as well as the new genera- tional audience that will be listen- ing to it now.

He is a superstar in his own right, and the "Inflatable Comedy Theatre" proves it. Garbo and his partner, Daielma Santos, kept their audience enter- tained with over an hour of danc- ing, juggling, mime and inflation! Garbo began his show with a 'pre- show warm up' which required an audience volunteer. Unfortu- nately, I was passed over for a Shirley Temple look-a-like in the front row. Garbo brought out nine school pencil boxes and proceeded to juggle three of them. Then, he brought out three juggling clubs, handed them to his lovely assis- tant and balanced all nine boxes on his chin! With the boxes still bal- anced, he juggled the three clubs to end the trick to thunderous ap plause. Garbo's juggling skills were not allowed to rest. Throughout the show, he juggled six rings, three flaming torches and three huge inflatable cubes. His skill amazed the adults in the audience while his physical comedy delighted the children. But what impressed me the most were his inventions. Garbo's inflatables consisted of gigantic cubes, a snowman, a Christmas tree complete with lights, an accordion, a complete living room set including a televi- sion and an "Airedale Dog" (which looked suspiciously like Barkley, butwho'scomplaining?). And let's not forget Fred Zeppelin, The In- flatable Man! With the aid of an inflatable suit, Garbo turned him- self and Santos into one -A nis inventions. My favorite part of the show happened right in the middle. Garbo and Santos had inflat- able kites attached to sticks that they could swing around the stage. Garbo took his and began to make fun of a dance routine Santos had done earlier in the show. In retaliation, Santos made fun of Garbo's juggling. I loved this part because not only was it hilarious, but it showed the friendship between the two performers. They were entirely comfortable with each other on the stage. Another thing that impressed me was the relationship be- See FRED page 8 Elizabeth lives again!

Boy O Boy was a popular ska band that used to play to packed houses, but ei- ther their ap- peal has died or their name change has yet to pass through the grapevine, be- cause no one was at the At- tic on Dec. 2. Since their name change to Fighting Gravity, the band has landed a radio campaign for the soft drink Mello Yello. Their song "Threat or Menace" chimes in the background as MTV VJ Adam Curry speaks of new musical talent. This is a big break for a band, espe- cially since their music genre is ska. Most people aren't familiar with ska (a musical blend of reggae, funk and rock), with the exception of ska kingpins The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and even the Bosstones aren't exactly a household name. Fighting Grav- ity has played with many big names like 247 Spyz, Eek-A- Mouse and Tribe Called Quest, and these music parings display their diverse style. Fighting Gravity is distributed through Caroline Records, the same label that carried Smashing Pumpkins on their breakthrough album Gish. Fighting Gravity has put out four albums in four years and frequents the top 10 college charts, so it's odd that the atten- dance at this gig was next to none. They put on an excellent show however, despite the lack of audi- ence. They played "Don't Have You and that's one of those songs you felt as if you've heard before. It's a song that got the small but eager crowd dancing. Even if you don't like Fighting Gravity, their music will make you sway be- cause it's simply joyous and the horns add to their happy vibe.

Black Sheep fans buying this CD expecting a new level of their "Flavor of the Month" sound be warned: you won't get it! The CD opens with the "Non- Fiction Intro" (which sounds like it could be a very phat Zhane track) and continues throughout with tracks containing slammin' jazz loops, semi-hype beats and lyrics that flow and (supposedly) "represent" the true Dres and Lawnge. On Non-Fiction, the listener finds the same scenarios found in mosthip-hop projects today. "We Boys" is the track that depicts the Sheep and their crew displaying a "lyrical beatdown" typical of coarse-voiced m.cs with foul mouths. "Autobiographical" characterizes the typical back-in- the-day track in which Dres rec- ollects his childhood, his first brushes with the law, etc. "Me & My Brother" is the braggadocios track in which Dres and Lawnge combine interesting flowing styles with humiliating snaps that together make an interesting cut.

After the show, both he and Santos, after allowing the audience to play with the inflat- able cubes (which I thought was really cool) went out into the lobby to sign autographs and sell T-shirts and videos. The kids loved them. I'm framing my ticket (which, by the way, has both Garbo's and Santos' autographs) and my pic- ture of Garbo. This was simply the coolest show to ever come to ECU.

Speculation about head coach Stee Logan's job security has ended, and now he is being ru- mored for head coaching vacan- cies in the college ranks and as an assistant in the NFL. The Pirates have more first downs, rushing yards, passing yards and total offense than their opponents. Last year, they were Dutgained in every single one of iiese statistical categories. ECU is on the positive end of turnover margin as compared to minus-20 a year ago. A major weakness for the offense last year was it's inability to control the ball and run the clock to give the defense a rest. This year time of possession is up as well as scor- ing. ECU averages 27.2 points per game and only allows 21.2. In last season's 2-9 debacle the Pirates were outscored 29.9 to 15.9. Even the third quarter woes of a year ago have been cured. ECU has still been outscored, but only by nine points � up from 94-22 last year. Responsible for all of this suc- cess is a game plan for this pro- gram that started a few years ago. The plan involved playing the young talent that Logan and his staff have been recruiting, as well as playing with a more aggressive style of play. The ECU defensive and offen- sive schemes are not much differ- ent, but the added experience of a year ago has made the execution of the play calling that much bet- ter. A healthy Marcus Crandell at quarterback has proved to be the main difference for the Pirates. Besides his accurate, strong throwing arm Crandell's leader- ship qualities really help out as far as directing what is the eighth youngest team in the country. Crandell, a 6-foot, 200-pounder from nearby Robersonville, NC, has had quite a season and should push for Sophomore Ail-Ameri- can honors. Crandell has completed 230 of 401 passing attempts (57.4 per- cent) for 2,687 yards and 21 TD's. He is currently ranked fourth in school history in career passing yardage passing Michael Ander- son after the Memphis game. He was named Liberty Bowl Alliance Offensive Player of the Week against Southern Miss, and Vir- ginia Tech. "Marcus has a great arm, is quick and mobile and has great instincts Steve Logan said. "He also has the leadership abilities and attitude to match TB Junior Smith has also made Congrats to Lady Pirate head coach Rosie Thompson and her team for winning last weekend's UMBC Invitationnal in Baltimore, MD his mark on the Pirate offense. The senior from Favetteville, NC is ECU's all-time leading rusher, passing ECU Hall of Earner Carlester Crumpler, Sr. this year. Smith has 1,204 yards rushing and 9 TD's in 1994 and has shown an added dimension to his game, catching 35 passes for 306 yards out of the backfield. He was a pre-season candidate for the Doak Walker Award and has been named to HM All-Ameri- can teams by the Football News, Street&Smith's and the Sporting News. Smith, although small at 5- foot-6 and 180 pounds, is quick (4.4 speed) and strong (380 pound bench press). He should be a pros- pect for this year's NFL draft. Smith has been supported strongly by backup Jerris McPhail who is the fastest player on the team, run- ning a 4.38 in the 40 yard dash. McPhail, a trans- fer from Wake Forest, has 335 yards rushing and ECU's longest of- fensive play of the year with a 67- yard TD catch against Central Florida. At receiver the Pirates are led by Jason Nichols, Mitchell Gallo- way and Larry Sh- annon. Nichols has 42 catches for 450 yards and Gal- loway has 36 catches for 566 yards and 4 TDs. Shannon is a huge target at 6-foot-6 and 200 pounds. His size and 38- lnch vertical leap has enabled him to score six touch- downs and one two-point conver- sion on his 17 catches. ECU coaches like to go to him in the red zone on the fade route. The Pirates have two good tight ends in sophomores Sean Richardson and Scott Richards. Richardson has 17 catches, two TD's and two-point conversions. Richards has 18 catches and 4 TD's. The offensive line are led by all-star candidates Ron Suddith (6-3, 290) and Charles Boothe (6-6, 2S5). amie Gray, Kevin Wiggins, and ierrv Tilghman round out the starting lineup. Defensively, the man for the Pirates has been junior inside line- backer Mark Libiano. Libiano a pre-season honor candidate is a 6- foot-3,235 pounder with 4b speed from Eastern, PA. 1 le has 135 tack- les on the ear with 11 tor losses, two sacks, and a interception.

Sand V-ball court opens on the Hill (RS) � After a two-year wait, College Hill's new sand volley- ball court is open for use. This court will replace the two courts swept aside for the construction of the Todd Dining Facility. The S3,500 court is free to all ECU students and staff for drop- in play and will probably be the last addition to the hill tor some time to come. 'Though we'd like to expand on that one court, we've run out of space to build upon said Pat Cox, Associate Director of Recreational Services. The huge amount of sand used to cover the court's sur- face makes for safe diving and overall comfortable barefoot action that characterize hazard- free beach play Measured at 30' X 60' with a standard net, the court tails be- tween the Jones Hall back park- ing lot and the I pps Middle School fence, which is an on sional nuisance.

Tickets are available beginning at 8 a.m. on a first-come, first- serve basis, and any student tickets not picked up will be made available for sale. After the opening-night games, student ticket pick-up days will be the day before each home game (beginning with the Jan. 11 game). Along with a newly-reno- vated arena, this year's bas- ketball season will include a new promotion for ECU stu- dents � the "Perfect Pirate Fan Contest Any student who attends all 12 men's games and two of three se- lected vomen's games (Jan. 29, Feb. 10, or Feb. 12) will be eligible to win a Spring Break trip for two to Panama City, Fla and the opportunity for NCAA tournament tickets, should the Pirates qualify. To enter the contest, stu- dents must be present at the opening night game and stop by the sign-in table in the lobby of Minges Coliseum (with a valid student ID), prior to the 10-minute mark of the first half. At the table each student will be given one en- try form to complete and sub- mit in the registration box. Then at each men's game and two of three women's games, each student who en- tered on Jan. 6 must stop by the registration table prior to the 10-minute mark of the first half, to let us know they are in attendance. At halftime of the final men's home game, on Feb. 25, all the students who have met these requirements will beeli- gible for the grand prize.

About 100 players are ex- pected at the three-day session. On Thursday, many agents plan to meet in Atlanta, possibly to review the counterproposal that players hope to make to the own- ers' payroll tax plan. The object of the meeting will be to catch up everybody on where we stand and to see if we can develop a counteroffer that will produce some mean- ingful dialogue union head Don Fehr said Sunday in At- lanta. "It's going to be hard work, but we'll see if we can get it done he said. Mediator W.J. Usery planned to meet with the players Tues- day, Fehr said. Also this week, prominent agent Dick Moss in- tends to talk to the players about his United League, which he hopes will start playing in 1996. At Usery's urging, owners de- layed a meeting today in Chi- cago at which it was expected they were going to put in place a system built around a salary cap. "I know there are some that thought we should have imple- mented already Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten said. "I do think that Don is seek- ing to go to his players and bring us a proposal that is fair he said. "There is nowhere else to go" Players and owners are scheduled to meet Friday in Rye Brook, N.Y in yet another at- tempt to make progress at set- tling the strike that began Aug. 12. Owners, however, already are planning to meet next week. If there is no settlement by Dec. 17, they are likely to implement their own system, which would also include the elimination of salary arbitration. "I'm not saying we're going to come out of our meeting with a proposal that is just going to knock their socks off Braves pitcher Tom Glavine said. "But hopefully we can come out of our meetings with a proposal that has the basis to which we can start negotiationg a deal The players made their most recent proposal on Sept. 8, call- i ing for a 1.6 percent tax on the 16 j teams with the highest revenue j and a 1.6 percent tax on the 16 teams with the highest payrolls.

"I needed a fight said Bowe, whose only fight since losing the titles to Evander Holyfield in November 1993 was an aborted four-round no contest against Buster Mathis Jr. Donald, though, turned the night into more of a track meet than a boxing match.

The Tigers would have paid $44 million under management's pro- posal. Players contend the owners' big tax would serve the same purpose as a salary cap. Fehr also is sure to reiterate the need for union solidarity. Owners have talked about starting next sea- son with replacement players if the major leaguers are still on strike.

Each division had members competing inboth kata and spar- ring. Pam Marr and Michelle Trant placed first in both kata and sparring in their divisions, while Kris Hoffler and Paul Rogers placed first in kata and third in sparring. Also, Keesha Kerns and Chris Newton finished second in both events, while Dale Land took home both third-place honors in his division.
