r- Mmp TUE January 17,1995 Vol 69, No. 67 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, NC 16 pages Scholarship donations needed More medical school student aid to be provided through donations Andy Turner Staff Writer The ECU Medical Foundation, the fund-raising organization for the medical school, still needs money to reach the goal of $1 million for its cur- rent fund-raising drive. About Sjnn.OOO has been do- nated so far, said Dr. Robert Adams, president of the medical foundation. He said the drive will run through March or April in connection with tax season. All of the money donated to the medical foundation will go to provide more scholarships for the medical school. Currently, the medical school has 27 scholarships and 300 students ? 65 percent of whom receive finan- cial aid. "We have very few scholarships here at the School of Medicine, since we are so new and haven't really pri- oritized scholarship fund-raising in the past Adams said. "We probably need another 20 well-funded scholarships so that we can compete with other medi- cal schools in our regions for good stu- dents. "We are losing good students because they are offered more money to go to other schools The medical foundation began a mail campaign in December to so- licit funds for the drive. Letters were sent to previous donors and prospec- tive donors, said Adams. The medical 0?L& Dayou think THE .1 Jl 'I mtmrn fL -I ke n ite , 1 3 ! if!

Adams said the group has sev- eral goals that they hope to achieve with the fund-raising foundation. "The overall success hinges on whether we, as a school of medicine, live up to our mission and that mis- sion is one, to provide better health care for our region of the state; two, to provide for more minorities and underrepresented minorities in medi- cal education; and three, to provide more general-practice, primary care physicians to all of North Carolina Adams said. "If we can have an effect on any of those areas and meet our mission then we will consider it a suc- cess Adams said the medical founda- tion appreciates all donations that they receive. "We are very thankful for our donors and the people all over East- ern North Carolina who have come to our aid in the past four years Adams said. Anne Ballance May and John E. May, both alumni of the university, re- cently established a charitable remain- der trust fund that will benefit the medical school. The Mays transferred real estate valued at approximately $119,000 into the trust fund. The principal and any undistributed income generated from the trust fund will benefit the medical foundation, after satisfying Mrs. May's life income interest. The Mays and their daughter, Mary Jon Pabst, who is also an alum- nus, are involved with numerous uni- versity organizations. Mrs. May was an accountant in the ECU Business Affairs Office for 36 years until she retired in July 1994. Mr. May said the couple picked the medical school because of how it has benefited eastern North Carolina. "It is one of the greatest things to happen to eastern North Carolina May said. "It is the catalyst that sparked the growth of eastern North Carolina Adams said the medical founda- tion were very appreciative of the do- nation by the Mays. "It was a great gift said Mays. "It just shows you what people can do if they want to help. In the future, those kinds of gifts will really help us Donations to the medical foun- dation can be made by calling 816-2238 or by writing to The Medical Founda- tion of East Carolina University, 525 Moye Blvd Greenville, NC 27858.

Olympians seek aid Unusual fundraising planned for Special Olympics Andi Powell Phillips Staff Writer Activities start for FratRush Week Laura Jackman Staff Writer Now that the Spring semester has begun, ECU students have settled into their routines and once again, the Inter- fraternity Council (IFC) is ready to kick off Rush Week. Tonight is the first night for the planned activities that will run until Thursday, Jan. 19. From 8-11 p.m all 17 fraternities associated with IFC will open their doors to any ECU male interested in Greek life. "Only 10 percent of students on this campus are Greek said IFC Rush Chair Neal Terrell, "and we'd like to in- crease that number In an effort to do just that, the IFC held a Fraternity Forum on the mall last week to introduce Greek life to stu- dents and to answer any questions that they might have about the system. It was the first step in what IFC believes to be public awareness without feeling any pressure to make a decision. "We had a good turnout and feel that the forum served its purpose and therefore believe it was successful said IFC President Justin Conrad. IFC is trying to change the image of the Greek system by "dealing with the barriers and misconceptions people might have about Greek life Terrell said. "People used to think that frater- nity life had a negative effect on your grades, but we've changed that and have the numbers to prove it" Conrad said. Last semester, the overall GPA for undergraduate fraternity males was 2340, very close to the overall 2350 GPA for all undergraduate ECU males, Conrad said. IFC said its various time manage- ment and leadership skills seminars held last semester (which were mandatory for all pledges to attend) are the reason for the increase. "We want to raise those numbers yet again so we are looking to coordi- nate another seminar with members of our executive council faculty members See RUSH page 5 If you don't know what to do with those pesky, cluncky cars clut- tering up your front yard, the North Carolina Special Olympics (NCSO) urges you to donate them. NCSO is sponsoring an innova- tive new fund-raiser called "Recycle for Gold The organization is asking the public to donate unwanted auto- mobiles that will be resold, used for spare parts or crushed for scrap metal. "Regardless of the condition, Special Olympics will receive $25 for each recycled vehicle or half the funds generated from selling parts or from refurbishing the vehicle said Dave Lenox, the NCSO executive director, in a press release. The funds from the recycled cars will benefit the NCSO's sports training program, which helps prepare athletes for the 1995 Special Olym- pics Summer World Games. Prospec- tive participants should call 1-800-590- 1600, and a salvage operator will schedule a pick-up time. The 1995 Special Olympics Summer World Games are being held June 30 through July 9 at sites throughout Connecticut The Games are comprised of 19 sporting events ranging from aquatics, to powerlifting, volleyball and a sport called bocce. "Bocce is a game taken from the Italians that is similar to lawn bowl- ing or horse shoes. It's more popular with the older athletes said Keith L. Fishburne, associate executive direc- tor of the NCSO. In addition to the "Recycle for Gold" program, two more fundraising campaigns will take place simulta- neously this month to benefit the Summer World Games. "We also have a corporate cam- paign to solicit support but these will be the only fund-raisers directed at the general public Fishburne said. The Procter & Gamble company is sponsoring the second campaign by including millions of coupons for their products in the Publisher's Clearing House national winter mailing. Thirty- three coupons for Procter & Gamble products, ranging from Scope Mouthy wash to Tide Clothes Detergent will be distributed in the mailing so that people can save money while benefit- ing the Special Olympics. Ten cents from every redeemed coupon will be donated to the Special Olympics. The NCSO expects to receive up to $20,000 from this promotion. The National Special Olympics stands to receive up to $500,000. A third way to contribute to the NCSO, for those who do not have an extra car lying around or who do not need any kind of personal care or household products, is to get out the checkbook. The NCSO has set goals of rais- ing $85,000, to send 65 athletes and 20 coaches to the 1995 Summer World Games in Connecticut If you would like to help real- ize this goal, call Lenox at 1-800-843- 6276 or send a donation directly to the North Carolina World Games Fund, P.O.

Eighteen female cadets told academy officials that they were inappropriately touched while they ran past the football players. UNC students want a refund Students at UNC Chapel Hill are demanding a partial refund of their $28 student activity fees because the bowling alleys have been out of service. The student bowling alley has been in operation since 1969 and has problems. The manager said he has had problems with the lanes since he took his position in 1992. Currently only two lanes are working, while six others are being overhauled for repairs. Injectable birth control increasing on college campuses College aged women are increasingly turning from birth control pills and other traditional methods to a new drug which only needs to be injected every three months. Officials at Indiana State University said that demand for the Depo-Provera drug is increasing. The student health center at Indiana State offers the drug. The drug was approved in 1992, and used by more than 30 million women world-wide. Beavis and Butthead studied at Harvard The last morons one would expect to see in an ivy-league school were the hot topic in a class at Harvard last week. The "Moral Dilemmas of Management" class used the popular show, Beavis and Butthead, to examine how business interests may be harmful to society. By viewing exerts from the show and studying the cable industry in general, several students commented that the case study was beneficial - huh, huh-huh. What did they do with their bond money? The college of engineering at NC State is currently constructing a graduate research center. A five level parking deck is also under construc- tion on campus. The $32 million projects are being funded by the bond referendum which passed last November. The projects are expected to be completed in the fall of '96. A golf course is also being planned. Deelop- ers at the university plan to leave up to 50 percent of the land untouched for environmental reasons. Compiled by Tambra Zion. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. Depressed? Help is out there Free counseling available for students Tambra Zion Assistant News Editor Depression can affect anyone at any time. The symptoms are well known and vary: isolation, weight loss, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness or fatigue. If such feelings persist for more than two weeks, depression has set in and help should be sought ECU offers counseling services through the Counseling Center and Mental Health Services located within the Student Health Center. All ser- vices are free-of-charge to students. The Counseling Center offers individual counseling and is sponsor- ing a depression workshop called, "Beating the College Blues The program will begin Feb. 6, said George Gressman of the Counseling Center. Between seven and 12 students will be admitted to the workshop group. "The workshop is cognitively behavioral based with activities based on learning what makes people depressed and going out and chang- ing those behaviors There are differences in the se- verity of depression students can ex- perience, and the causes of depression are just as abundant Gressman said people who are severely depressed usually do not seek help because they are unable to func- tion. "The difference is between the severity of symptoms mild depres- sion may occur if someone is feeling unhappy or distressed, yet a wide range of functioning remains intact" ?

To be successful in school you must be fairly motivated, that may diminish Federman said college students can be more at risk of depression. "In some ways the university environment is a 15 week time lim- ited pressure cooker Federman said. "School is a real conditional environ- ment Federman said he believes the majority of college students do not suffer from depression but can feel depressed at times. Major depression is most com- monly diagnosed by Mental Health said Dr. Steven Dauer, a psychologist with Mental Health Services. "For major depression the time frame is two weeks, there would be a severe decline in functioning Dauer said Dysthymia, a less acute and less severe form of depres- sion, will usually affect a per- son for more than two years to be diagnosed. Adjustment disorder with depressive mood is often caused by a traumatic incident such as breaking up with a boy- friend or academic failure, Dauer said. Depressive disor- ders and bipolar depression (com- monly referred to as manic depression) are some other types of the illness. In order to be clinically diagnosed, a person must go through screening to determine what type of illness they suffer from. "By far the majority of people we see are for some form of depres- sion or another Dauer said "We do see a lot of other different kinds of problems but depression is really the common problem here Mental Health Services differs from the Counseling Center in treat- ment. "We tend to deal with more se- vere problems that impact on the stu- dents functioning the people we see are not doing very well in several ar- eas of their life Dr. Dauer said. "The counseling center deals with what we might think of as the normal levels of adjustment and development and this age range of people here on a college campus things like loss and relation- ship difficulties, stress management and of course the academic support services According to Gressman, 850 students turned to the Counseling Center for help for depression last semester. Mental Health services handles fewer patients, because there are less staff resources available. Students suffering from depres- sion due to chemical disorders may also need medication prescribed through Mental Health Services. Both genders suffer from de- pression, but more women seek help, Gressman said. "It seems to be more culturally acceptable for women to seek coun- seling Gressman said. "Men are taught to have to deal with it on their own Whether male or female, it is important to get help. "What's important is that people be honest with themselves if they are having those difficulties and to try to deal with their reluctance to get help Dauer said. There is good news for those who suffer from depression. Accord- ing to literature distributed through the Counseling Center, 80 percent of those who obtain help for depression are cured. &DA FLEECE THERMAL WARM.UPS ? D ? NEW SHIPMENT OF SKIRTS ? JAZZl ?

January 17. 1995 Poet to discuss history of rap Jeffrey Lee Staff Writer What could rap, poetry and poetics have in common? Notre Dame professor and author Dr. Pe- ter Erskine will be glad to answer that question when he visits ECU to discuss Afro-American Poetics in the U.S. Dr. Peters is the 1995 Tag Lecturer sponsored annually by the English Department. The lecture is slated for tomorrow at 4 p.m. in GCB 1031. Dr. Erskine will be avail- able for questions during a recep- tion scheduled immediately follow- ing the lecture. Peters is the former director of African-American Studies at Uni- versity of California at Berkeley. His areas of specialization include Faulkner Studies. American Litera- ture to 1930, African-American Lit- erature. Eighteenth-Century British Literature and Afro-Poetics. "My emphasis is going to be on giving a perspective on a book that I am completing by the same name. Afro-Ameri- can Poetics in the United States Peters said. "What 1 do is try to start with African back- ground, talk about the various types of poetry that ex- ist in Africa and then 1 look at sev- eral types of folk tradition in the U.S. that help to maintain the links to those old tradi- tions Dr. Peters' work embraces all areas of these folk traditions such as the jazz tradition of poetry that, ac- I also look at rap music because rap music is from rap poetry and that comes from a very, very long tradition that was launched back in Africa. ?

"I also look at'rap mu- sic because rap music is from rap poetry and that comes from a very, very long tradi- tion that was launched back in Af- rica According to Julie Fay, an as- sociate professor of the English de- partment, Peters is developing a new. system of poetic measure spe- cifically for African and African- American poetry. Fay added that the rhythm of African and Afro-American poetry is different from most other poetry and is in need of its own poetic mea- sure. Ten years in the making, the thrust of Dr. Peters' book and lec- ture examines Afro-poetics in rela- tion to African and African-Ameri- can folk traditions. Although no publishing or release date has been set, Peters hopes to secure a publisher in the near future. New art gallery director named Ben Duran Staff Writer ECU may have a new arena for the exchange of ideas. No, there has not been any secret construction while students were asleep, but a new director has been named for the Wellington B. Gray Gallery. Gilbert Leebrick has stepped in to fill the vacancy left by Charles Lovell, who resigned last June. Leebrick, the former Director of the Highlands Center for the Vi- sual Arts in Highlands, NC and the Appalachian Environmental Arts Center brings over 25 years of ex- perience and involvement with the arts to his new position. He has a serious interest in the environment and draws a strong correlation be- tween the arts and the natural world.

The 17 years he spent in Hawaii have given him an appreciation for the coast, and he is pleased to be living so close to it. "Greenville is very enjoyable says Leebrick.

He sees the gallery as a "teaching tool that can educate stu- dents, as well as inform and stimu- late the faculty and engage the com- munity "I have a certain sensibility which is manifested in my gallery agenda Leebrick said. "We need to embrace art and not keep it tucked away in museums, enjoying the aes- thetic experience is what it is all about. Art is synonymous with life Leebrick is excited about the events which are already scheduled for the gallery, and hopes to put to- gether some future exhibitions and symposiums which focus on Native- American art as well as the environ- ment. "The Beuys exhibit is a coup. We are one of oniy four or five schools to have the exhibition Leebrick said.

Teri Howell Staff Writer Walt Disney World is looking for singers and musicians to be a part of the Disney Entertainment Work Experience Program for the upcoming summer session. Larry Smith, audition coordi- nator for Walt Disney World, said students will audition to be per- formers in one of the three catego- ries: All American College March- ing Band, All American College Jazz Band or All American Jazz Singers. Auditioners must be 18 years old to perform on the profes- sional level and at least 16 to par- ticipate in parade performances. All entertainers will be covered under the terms and conditions of the Actor's Equity Association, a per- formers' labor union, Smith said. "Students will be divided up into separate categories according to their talents and auditions will be held in these selective cities: Anaheim, Ca. (Jan. 13-14), Orlando (Jan. 28), Evanston, 111. (Feb. 4), Bloomington, Ind. (Feb. 5), Boston (Feb. 11), New York City (Feb. 12), Dallas (Feb. 16), Austin.Tx. (Feb. 17), and Los Angeles (Feb. 18-19) Smith said. Walt Disney is seeking per formers who have top abilities in technical, lyrical, and improvisa- tional skills in music. The Ameri- can College Jazz Band is audition ing for five saxophones, four trum- pets, three trombones, one bass, one guitar, one piano, one tuba and one percussion. The All American College Jazz Singers has openings for two sopranos, two altos, one tenor, and one bass. The All Ameri- can Marching Band needs five saxo- phones, four trumpets, four trom- bones, two tubas, and three percusssions. Sight reading is a plus, Smith said. "Students will perform four hours a day and attend two hour career workshops with professional actors and singers Smith said. "We are entering our 24th year of this program and the program re- alty helps students master top per- forming ability as well as develop skills for a profession in the enter- tainment world Disney is currently looking for actors to participate in their summer show, The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. Male auditioners should have tumbling and athletic abilities as well as com- bat and training in high falls. Women auditioners should be ath- letic and have gymnastic and tum- bling strength, Smith said. The po- sitions that are available are Indi- ana Jones, Marion Wavensworth, stunt doubles, casting director and more. ECU student, Andrew Miller, worked for Walt Disney World in 1993 under the Disney Co-op Man- agement Program as a celebrity food and beverage host. Miller said he was inter- viewed and chosen for the job that only one out often people received. Miller attended 10 Management Seminars over his six month stay at Disney and met many celebrities while he was a part of the "Hoopdee Doo Review" that per- formed three shows a night. Disney has one of the top five benefits of any company, Miller said. After you work for Disney you are a CT (casting temporary) which means you can come back to Disney anytime as long as you work at least one day every year. "I decided to take a semester off and work at Disney Miller said. I worked at the number one dinner show in the world and had a blast. Working for Disney has good job security and it looks great on a re- sume. It was a good, fun job expe- rience for me and I recommend it to anyone 1993.

Flood clean-up begins AP - Residents of western North Carolina began cleaning up Monday after weekend rains killed three Boy Scouts, washed out roads and inundated property along creeks and riverbeds. In Watauga County, about 10 families remained stranded in their homes Monday because of high wa- ters and washed-out roads, said county emergency services spokeswoman Lisa Shoun. "They're fine, but we can't reach them Shoun said. "They've got power, they've got phones, but they're stranded More than 8 inches of rain fell in Watauga County from Friday evening, and some areas reported as much as 11 inches. Grandfather Moun- tain in Avery County had about 15 inches of rain, although exact mea- surements were not possible because of high winds, officials there said. The downpours caused creeks and streams to run riot over their banks and brought lakes to flood stages. By Monday, most of the rain stopped, and emergency crews were assessing the damage. "It's just one of those things where you have to let it do its thing and then go in and clean up the mess said Watauga County emer- gency worker Steve Sudderth. Thad Bryson, coordinator for the North Carolina Emergency Man- agement Division's regional office in Asheville, said the standing water in most counties had receded, and crews mainly were cleaning up mud and debris. 1994 AWARD- WOLFF SYSTEM FIRST CLASS tanning.

The East Carolinian Tuesday, January 17, 1995 Nation remembers civil leader P - The nation remembered Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday ; mid a feud between his family and the National Park Service over who preserve his memory and how. At Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King was pastor. Dexter Scott King vowed to continue his lather's work through economic opportunity, calling for a SHi billion investment in black community. "My father had a dream. I too have a dream the 3-year-old said in ; Martin Luther King Day address. ' My father delivered to his generation political freedom. I would like to de- liver to my generation economic free- dom More than 400 people packed the church, next door to the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change and the crypt that holds the body of the civil rights leader, who would have been 66 on Sunday. The park service wants to build a museum and visitors center near the King Center. King's widow. Coretta Scott King, and children want to cre- ate their own interactive museum. The dispute prompted the fam- ily to halt park service tours of Kin, s birthplace. The service now shepherds tours past the home and presents a slide show at its own facility about a block away. The sides ate to meet Sat- urday and discuss the disagreement. The feud cropped up Monday in Dexter King's church speech, and in appearances on CNN and NBC by King and Troy Lissimore. the park service's superintendent of the King Historic Site. Lissimore said he thinks the dispute could be worked out. But King, now president of the King Cen- ter, said the park service has falsely accsed the family of trying to profit from his father's memory. "Myself and my family have been accused of protecting our legacy, the King legacy King said during the service. "Yet we did not wake up one morning and decide to start a company called Martin Luther King Jr. Inc L'p to 700 marchers walked through downtown Memphis. Tenn stopping at the Lorraine Motel, now the National Civil Rights Museum, where King was assassinated by a sniper on April 4. 1968. Elsewhere: - In Denver. President Clinton addressed a crowd of more than 20.000 at a park as part of a daylong celebration that featured a two-mile parade. "Even as he marched all across this land and took that vast throng to Washington, D.C he knew in the end that what was in the hearts and minds of the average RUSH from p. 1 American citizen was even more im- portant Clinton said. - In Boston, about 2,000 people attended a breakfast in Kings honor, where 19-year-old Tito Jackman said his generation has gone astray. "We've gone off on tangents instead of taking up the baton and running the next leg said Jackman. a student at the University of New Hampshire. - In New Hampshire, the only state that has not fully adopted the federal King holiday, about 25 teen- agers staked out the sidewalk at the Statehouse in Concord in a vigil scheduled to last from midnight Sun- day to midnight Monday. "We feel he was an important enough person in the civil rights movement that he deserved to be rec- ognized Eliot Lothrop said. The state isn't giving him enough recog- nition FLOOD from p. 4 "In the mountains, when we to remain closed Tuesday, have a heck of a lot of water, it rises Another area particularly rapidly and goes away rapidly he sa; 1. ) Exact figures on the damage would not be available until Wednes- day or Thursday. Bryson said. Most roads from Yancey and McDowell counties south were open Monday, but in Watauga County, 25 state roads remained closed. Some Watauga County roads were completely under water or had been washed away. On other roads, the pavement was intact but the dirt underneath it had washed away. About 50 county residents had been evacuated from their homes Sat- urday, along with residents of a nurs- ing home in Boone. and emergency crews helped them move back in Mon- day. Shouti sai 1. However, about five families' homes were too damaged for them to return Monday, she said. Watauga County schools were hard hit by the flooding was Caldwell County, where three Boy Scouts drowned Saturday after being swept from a foot bridge into the raging waters of a creek. In Collettsville, a portable wa- ter tanker was set up at the city fire department Sunday to provide clean drinking water for area residents. Of- ficials feared the flood waters may have contaminated wells in the area, said county fire marshal Dale Coffey. The bad weather also caused some scattered power outages and problems with telephone service, Coffey said. Kelly Winkler, an engineer with the state Department of Transporta- tion, said crews were working Mon- day to try and reopen Caldwell County roads closed by high waters and mudslides. "We're going to be working late until we get them opened he said.

We've worked long and hard this year to bring you the timeliest and most accurate information source, and today's paper is the result of great consideration and deliberation to provide an up-to-date, visually pleasing product. As managing editor for this newspaper, 1 know firsthand just how diligently our staff works. The people here are devoted to serving you, our campus community. Let me speak for the entire staff when I say that we truly listen to your criticisms. Probably the most important thing for students, faculty, staff family and friends to remember is that The East Carolinian (TEC) is completely student-run. We go to classes and then we go to work, much like the rest of the campus. Our hours fluctuate, and it's not always fun and games. Sometimes we're up here until as late as 6 a.m. (God help us alland sometimes we're scrambling out the door at 8:30 p.m. That can be tough on the ol' GPA, but we realize there are a lot of other students working much the same schedules. , , The difference is that we're in the spotlight. And it gets rough when all we get back are negative responses. Just like many of you out there, we work hard at what we do. Sometimes we're going to make mistakes, and sometimes they're going to be big. (One rule of thumb - just spell Eakin correctly!) Most likely, however, we're going to make - as my grandmother says incessantly - "learning mistakes That's OK, because that's what we're here to do: learn. I encourage all our readers to help us out. Please call if we attribute a quote to your pet parakeet instead of you. Please write when we fill this space here with an opinion that you just don't agree with. But please call and write when we print a feature that makes you laugh, a story that really personifies the ECU spirit, or a picture that says a million words. i.T We're here to inform you, the campus community. But we can t do it alone. Weicome to the new TEC. Don't be a stranger. JjjQjjJuJLi. i?iok Trt? SttAPSON JURORS EMERGE hjEVEft THOOGHT ,?'D BE -SAWING this, sot rrjosr DOESN'T ??

SU?PRS)NGLV C?f5l!M Racism: A dead-end street Low standards cost money $14 billion lost to student loon defaults Chris Arlir.e Staff Writer I recall my first meeting with my junior high school counselor Mrs. Beverly. We were planning out my course selections. The conversation, however, eventually digressed to what my future education plans were. One of the first things she mentioned was that college was not for everyone. The reason I bring up this en- counter is quite simple: Until recently. I was not aware of how right she was. Okay, I will admit that everyone can stand to gain something from higher education. However, a college setting may not be for everyone to seek it There are far too many stu- dents who clearly do not belong. Yet college and the Federal Government continues to encourage it Let's start with the final decid- ing factor as to whether or not a stu- dent is able to attend college or not money, and can they afford or not The U.S. Department of Education annu- ally administers $6 billion in college tuition grants and $15 billion in guar- anteed loans. All as "entitlements" with non specific academic require- ments, only financial need. Unfortunately, many recipients of these grants are not ready for col- lege, which raises the question of how did they get there? If a college does not require high school graduation for enrollment, its students can get fed- eral tuition grants and loans without having a high school diploma or equivalency degree. This raises the question of how are they going to be disciplined enough to handle college if they could not make it in high school? Unfortu- nately, the truth of the matter is they can't Many students can't hack it and that ends up costing the government money. "How much money?" From 1988 to 1993, $14 billion was lost to student loan defaults. Those without a high school diploma comprise over 50 percent of that num- ber. Remember the good old days when you could actually fail classes. Well, not anymore. Late in the 1960s many students and professors started viewing grades as artificial measure- ments and irrelevant encumbrances in the anything-goes culture. In the early 1970s, Stanford University allowed students to drop classes right up until the final exam. Wouldn't that be great? Wait, it gets even better. They also abolished D's and F's. Recently Stanford has decided to reincorporate the F's. Think they are enforced? Less than 10 percent even make anything less than a B the whole time they are there. The University of Virginia's Law School has decided to smell a little of the Colombian as well. They recently initiated a B-mean policy. It says that professors have to give their classes an average of B grade. Does anyone think that the students will sue? These are days many students are saying "I pay so much to go here, you can't give me D's and F's. Ah, so now grade inflation is an acceptable form of consumer fraud. The solution to these problems are simple. A standardized minimum test should be implemented in order to qualify for grants and loans. Hey it would be in line with the new Goals 2000 Educate America Act. It seems to me that anything that would help a government act actually work for once and save billions of dollars would be a good idea. If someone can't do the wprk keep them out of the class- room. Solution number two.is even simpler. Simply start handling our appropriate grades. If I perform a test at C quality then give me a C. Don't inflate it to a door prize B. It is time that ethics played a bigger role in awarding merit than sympathy. Racism issues in Higher Learning Angela McCullers Staff Writer Racism on college campuses is a growing national problem. John Singleton brings this issue to the public's attention in his new film "Higher Learning In Singleton's movie, the racist attitudes of some of the students and police officers at Columbus University, followed by their racist behaviors, brought about racial problems on their campus. Vio- lence was used to solve their prob- lem-which ultimately led to the death of three students. Racism is the name we attach to the activities of people who be- lieve that one race of people is "natu- rally" superior to another. In one scene, Malik Williams (Omar Epps) confronts a skinhead played by Michael Rappaport, about his behavior. Malik feels that the skinhead has been "walking around campus calling him a nigger in his head Many of the students in the movie did not profess their racist ide- ologies and views openly. Racism is more than attitudes or feelings. We do not have to look into the hearts of our peers to find racism. We can look at their actions. Racism is a state of mind, a set of values and a con- stellation of behaviors that has been passed down from generation to gen- eration. You do not have to confront a person who you feel is racist in -or- der to make them confess to their personal racial bias. What will be solved? What will you accomplish by doing that? The individual will con- tinue to be a racist after you have confronted him or her. Their atti- tudes and beliefs are not going to change solely because you have dis- covered their true feeling about other races. Without positive change there can be no progress. Racism is a dead-end street, leading to frustration and hatred of others. It is a cancerous phenomenon that lurks in every cranny of Ameri- can society. Many people have suf- fered damage to their self-esteem due to the ugly ramifications of racism. Self-esteem is a must for sheer sur- vival. Do not wait until you are older to feel the need to improve the rela- tionship of the races. We, as young adults, stand a better chance of ulti- mately eliminating racism in our country if we begin to do something about it now. I am not saying that racism will disappear overnight. That is not going to happen. Racism may not disappear in the next one hun- dred years. r, We must start with oui children that we will some day have. We mtf$t teach them that a person can not r)e judged on their nationality or their race, but on their personality and thejr ability to get along with others. ii ii ii Letters to the Editor tv? v3RfcS,aNri ? s To the Editor: The tragic loss of one of our most promising young biology stu- dents underscores the need to pro- vide an elevated cross-walk over the 10th street raceway. Daily, the health and lives of students, faculty, and staff are jeopardized as they negoti- ate traffic in and around university grounds. It is so obvious to every pedestrian, another senseless acci- dent is destine to occur along 10th street in front of Brewster Building. For a fraction of the funds spent on sports arenas, bowling alleys, and snack bars, the university cross-walk could be designed that encourages usership. On campus, pedestrians should have the right-of-way. how- ever, vehicles rarely yield to pedes- trians. Proper signage and enforce- ment could help to alleviate this prob- lem. Certainly, past and present uni- versity administrations have consid- ered these options but for some rea- son could not justify construction or action. Please reconsider.

Step into the Alley Owner makes big impression Meredith Langley Assistant Lifestyle Editor immmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmam How many of you faithful read- ers knew that CD Alley came to Greenville because Sean McCrossin, the owner, moved here to be closer to the girl of his dreams? Even though she's not around anymore. Sean him- self decided to stay behind. Many of you already know this man. Why else would you be sporting the newest CD Alley T-shirt design? Sean brought his store to Greenville about six years ago when he moved here from Kill Devil Hills (a small coastal town here in North Caro- lina). As stated previously, he came here to be with his girlfriend and also because a record store was a risky business venture in a tourist town. Since the store opened, Sean has had nothing but sweet success. his business growing steadily from day one. At first, however, he was worried that the store wouldn't fly because ol ail the competition. So Sean lived off of the money he made by bar-tending and invested all of the profit made by CD Alley back into the store. This proved to be a very wise business decision, because he has now expanded the store to almost if not more than twice the size that it was and has increased his stock by 25percent CD Alley now carries music that caters to all musical fantasies, ranging from punk to beach music to classical. When asked why he opened the store here in Greenville he simply said. "For the love of mu- sic, and to learn more about the mu- sic world So. what's next for this music lover? A record company is on his front burner as we read. Sit & Spin Records will be one of the first record companies coming out of Greenville that will feature alternative music and other musical styles. Sean's de- sire to get good music to the people and turning them on to new sounds has already made his store success- ful and he thinks it will be a good formula for mixing up a record label. He waiats to start off small by releas- ing some 7-inch singles and maybe a full length album if interest in the band in uuestion is high. This strat- egy is to get credibility and good sales for him and to give the bands a great opportunity to get some exposure into the mainstream. Sean's knowledge has turned some of the greatest musical fuddy- duddies in town on to some great music. He also has this uncanny abil- ity to find that certain record, tape or CD that you've been looking for, even if that means he has to special order it for you. An easy- going man. he is always friendly and helpful to the customer and so are his employ- ees. The world needs more people with his knowledge and the creativ- ity to make a record store like CD Alley fly. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Singing Plaid The Four Plaids return from the grave to give one last show "A Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great screaming bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. Okay, so we all know that Greenville's nightlife sucks. You can go get drunk at this bar or that bar. You can watch the same stupid fights break out over the same stupid crap, or the same sleazy pick-up lines lead to the same lame-ass drunken sexual li- aisons between the same musky sheets. You can be really lame and participate in the above activities. Or you can do all of the above to the beat of any of the same three rotating rosters of bands that mill through the last three surviving live-music clubs in town. Big fun. And as an added attraction, you can choke on the soup-thick fog of a thousand cigarettes. And while I'm on the subject. I'd like to take a moment to make a note to smokers. I have nothing against your habit, honestly. I think smok- ers should be able to light up any- where that fire doesn't cause a se- rious danger. It's just that well, it's the smell. Cigarettes stink. I mean, they smell like they would cause cancer, and that usually just pisses me off. So couldn't you have the decency to smoke something that smells good, like a pipe? At least then I might enjoy having my lungs gunked up. Thanks. Anyway, back to that sucky Greenville nightlife. Sometimes it seems like we have no choice but to buy into the mass hallucination that downtown is actually fun. So we wade through the muck and try to have a good time. That's okay sometimes, but shouldn't there be something else? 1 mean, when you have to drink heavily to even make a place seem bearable, I think it's time for a change. Thankfully, there are alter- natives to the bar scene. We just got a super-cool new coffee house downtown, for instance. It's called the Percolator, and it's sort of like a bar. but there's less vomiting. It's Jennifer Coleman Staff Writer See BUCKET page 11 "Forever Plaid' is dedicated to the 'good guys to the guys who wheeled the projector carts for the AV club; to the guys who saved their allowances to give their parents a spe- cial night for their anniversary; to the guys who carried an extra handker- chief: to the guys who never went beyond first base, and if they did, they didn't tell anyone This dedication, hidden as it was among the names of the "Forever Plaid" staff in the program, was as much a surprise as the show itself, and no less amusing. The dedication, with its deceptive simplicity, actually reveals a great deal about the show. I say the show was a surprise because, quite honestly, I didn't know what to expect from it at first. I was very skep- tical. Was listening to four guys sing songs thirty years older than I am really the way I wanted to spend the better part of Friday night' Luckily, 1 didn't let my doubts stop me from seeing the show From My Children My Africa!

John Frusciante Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt When John Frusciante was one of the original Red Hot Chili Peppers, he and his bass counterpart. Flea, broke much new ground in the un- derground music of the eighties. Then came the nineties and alternative be- came the mainstream, the Chili Pep- pers' Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic was a smash hit and suddenly they were touring the world. During their tour of Japan. Frusciante decided he had had enough. He left the band in the height of their fame and moved back to Los Angeles to live in happy ob- scurity. The Chili Peppers got a new guitar player and continued with busi- ness as usual. After leaving the band. Frusciante began to experiment with painting and music. The painting failed but the music for the album Xiandra Lades was recorded, of which he was particularly proud. He soon fell into a trance-like creative state where he would stay up for days painting and creating music. The fi- nal result of all of this is his new al- bum Xiandra Lades and Usually Just A T-Shirt. 1 guess you could call this an experimental album. It is full of strangely distorted guitars, off the wall licks and some very unconven- tional studio tricks. The opening track is a strange mixture of acous- tic and distorted electric guitar: it seems to be an almost random place- ment of notes at times. Most of the tracks repeat this formula: acoustic guitar laying down the basic rhythm and electric plucking out the part usually filled by the lead guitar, but I'm not really sure if you could call this a lead. At times it seems to be off-key improvisations or even just a random choice of sounds; John Cage comes to mind. "Big Takeover" has a plucky mandolin sound and strange avant garde lyrics like "the world is full its own emissions and another Nazi tent Then there is "Curtains which contains only a strange piano melody and even stranger lyrics: "the world is a sphere no larger than the balls that you suck Then there is "Running Away Into You This one takes weirdness to another level. The studio effects are somewhere in the realm of drugs or madness. The acoustic strumming is back, but I haven't a clue where most of the noise is coming from. Some of the songs sound al- most normal and at times his vocals sound much like his old friend An- thony Kiedas. But for the most part this is a very strange album; maybe this is a product of fame. Who knows? Most of the songs are short, lasting on an average of three min- utes each and some are less than two minutes. This is basically an experi- mental album. If he didn't already have a name for himself I doubt any label would have picked this up; strangely enough, this is on the big- time record business American label. There are 25 tracks on this re- lease, a culmination of two years of work. Despite the outright weirdness of this release it is in some way ap- pealing, almost refreshing. Guitar World reviewed this CD and the re- viewer decided that he had cracked. This may be true, but you have got to give the guy credit for pushing the limits. If you are looking for the Chili Pepper's trademark funk-metal sound you will not find it here. Frusciante uses neither funk nor metal or anything that can be cat- egorized. I recommend this if you are looking for something completely different, because as far as I know this CD is one of a kind. ?Kris HofSler DINK DINK beginning to end. "Forever Plaid" was a delight to watch. The play centers around four guys who form a musical group, and yet it's about a lot more. To me. "Forever Plaid" was about the passing of an era, about a decade in which musical harmony was alive and well in the form of groups such as The Four Aces, The Four Freshmen, and the mythical Four Plaids. The plot is simple, and although far fetched, does not take away from the wonderful musical selections that make the show a hit. As the show opens, the audience learns that the members of the Four Plaids were killed in a car crash on their way to pick up new plaid tuxedo jackets for their first big show by a bus filled with Catholic teens or. their way to see the Beatles debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. The teenagers were miracu- lously unharmed, but the Plaids never got to do their show. Now. however, "through the power of harmony and the expanding holes in the ozone layer, in conjunc- tion with the positions of the planets Sec PLAID ptiye 10 "We are going to have open sexual intercourse on every street corner of America where thousands and thousands can watch Wow. not bad. I just might be able to get into this stuff. To be completely honest from the beginning, 1 was a bit nervous about listening to a band called Dink - I tend to be more of a classic rock listener with, of course, a few exceptions. As the tape slid into the tape deck, a mild form of fear set in. The first words heard on Dink's new self-titled album are atten- tion grabbers, to say the very least. And surprisingly enough, the rest of the album is refreshingly noticeable as well. Dink, the "small, insignificant" band based in Kent. Ohio, began their climb into the music world at Kent State back in 1990 by playing the Kent-Cleveland-Akron club circuit and releasing a self-titled five song EP Like their Kent predecessors Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. Dink takes the alternative approach to music, only they add a new retro-80s twist They possess a sort of industrial techno-early-80s-grunge-metal sort of style which, combined with an intense drum back beat and raging guitars, form an incredible sound explosion that forces people to sit up and listen. Rob Lightbody and Jer Herring com- bine their strong voices into an almost Nine Inch Nails Henry Rollins in-your- face sound that is uncommon with most new alternative bands, but which is an overdue and welcome change. The boys play well together, as is made ?UK obvious on nearly every track on the album. "3 Big Bags" and "Green Mind" are musically two of the best songs on the album. Jeff Finn fills the back- drop of each song with a more con- structed, slowed down Sex Pistols thrash bass line. Combined with Jan Eddy Van der Kail's throbbing drums and Sean Carlin's wild guitar. Dink has found a way to expa'ss their views on urban decline (same old story as most artists of today) without being depressing or overly dramatic. "Run- ning Red" also pulsates with an in- tense bass line and pseudo-techno rhythms that make Dink good driv- ing music for road trips or great club music. "Rocks" and "Dirt" are also decent songs with many similarities to "Bags "Mind" and "Red includ- ing bass line, drums and a few of the guitar riffs. The album does have a few downfalls, however. The song "Angel" bears a fright- ening resemblance to Prince's lame theme song from the Batman movie, and "Get On It" sounds like 2 Live Crew's old pop hit "It Takes Two Lyrically, Dink tends to be a bit inane - the song "In Her Head" consists mostly of the re- peated phrase "Mary Trery hopes and fears - she drank lots and lots of beers Not anything excep- tional, but rather funny if nothing else. Dink's first full length album has surprised nearly everyone who has heard it. If you have the chance to check it out, go for it. Dink is on the cutting edge of something new and wild. Besides, how bad can open sexual intercourse be? ?Christina Pokrzewinski ? ??? I m n ? The East Carolinian Tuesday, January 17, 1995 Big shoes are filled by Little Women Despite Winona Ryder, the fourth film version of Alcott's novel lives up to the 1933 original Ike Shibley Staff Writer I will be the first to admit that one of my favorite Katherine Hepburn films is the 1933 version of Little Women, which was di- rected by George Cukor. Hepburn glows as Josephine March and the rest of the cast is equally splendid. The film is a cinematic masterpiece. Thus when I heard that Little Women was being filmed for a fourth time I groaned audibly. "Why thought I, "tinker with per- fection?" The 1933 version per- fectly told the story of the March Wainright Property Management 1 756-6209 109-B. E. Arlington Blvd. Greenville Many Locations Near Campus! Cannon Court ? Cedar Court ?

A new version would have nothing to offer. Much to my surprise, the new- est filming of Louisa May Alcott's timeless story provides a cinematic treat. Though the newest film does not beat the 1933 version, it does boast a splendid cast with a lovely setting, all told with a gentle, femi- nine touch by Australian director Gillian Armstrong (My Brilliant Ca- reer). Winona Ryder plays the cen- tral character Jo, who Hepburn so jauntily portrayed. Ryder will surely get nominated for an Academy Award, but she certainly lacks the vivacity and charm of Hepburn. Per- haps the comparison is unfair, but Ryder wants to become a serious SPRING BREAK JAMAICA PACKAOE Includes: Round-trip airfare from Raleigh to Jamaica 4 nights accomodations at Hedonism in an air-conditioned room with king size bed or twin beds A11 mcls and snacks, buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner A11 the alcohol you can drink in any of the 5 bars, all serving premium liquor 2 seperate beaches.

If judged by the same criteria as the best actresses of cinema, both yesterday and to- day, Ryder pales in comparison. Be- cause Jo has a feminist sensibility and a likely stubborn side, she is a wonderfully complex character. But Ryder brings nothing to the role and seems to be acting with only a half-hearted effort. I still have never been able to see Ryder in a role, I always see her as an actress trying hard to play a role. Aside from my criticisms of Ryder, I loved every aspect of Little Women. The other three sisters are played by Trini Alvarado (Meg), Claire Danes (Beth) and Kristin Dunst (Amy) with Samantha Mathis playing the older Amy. Dunst shows signs of being a superb actress with this role and her role in Interview with the Vampire now to her credit. Alvarado and Danes become Meg and Beth and make the audience really care about them. Perhaps the role of Jo needed to be filled by a lesser-known actress so that the audience did not keep seeing the celebrity Winona Ryder in the role. Susan Sarandon does a magnificent turn as Mrs. March. The feminist stance of Mrs. March seems per- fectly suited for Sarandon, yet Sarandon never overplays the part and instead allows the subtle nu- ances of Mrs. March's personality only slowly to surface. Adding male support are Christian Bale (Theodore Lawrence) and Gabriel Byrne (Friedreich). Lawrence woos Jo only to be spurned and Friedrejch even- tually captures Jo's heart as a kindly tutor. The real credit for this film belongs to Armstrong. She seems to know exactly how a family like the Marches would have lived. The clothes, the fires, the warm humor shared within the family seem so natural on the screen.

Armstrong and screenwriter Robin Swicord allow the story of Little Women to develop gradually like a quilt being sewn together. Eventually all the pieces of the story come together to make a beautiful pattern that will linger in the mind of the viewers. The story itself exerts such a profound effect that the viewer may very well want to revisit, or visit for the first time, the novel of the same name. The tender story of love within the March family resonates for the ears of all ages and of any time period. Looking at the strong female characters one may assume that Alcott was ahead of her time in her thinking. When Jo turns down one suitor, the audience ini- tially balks at her choice but then slowly realizes that Jo acts from a position of strength. She does not want to marry simply for the sake of having a husband. The difference between the sisters becomes appar- ent, but Jo does not judge her sis- ters badly because of their differ- ences but instead embraces those differences. Near the end of the film, Friedreich tells Jo that the book she has written has given him a window to her soul. Likewise, the film provides a window into the soul of Alcott and, one may assume, Armstrong. Little Women is a film to be embraced. I cannot say rush to see the film because it demands no rushing. Rather take the time to spend some quality time with the March sisters. Rarely does a cin- ematic story get told with such genuine poignance. Little Women is not little accomplishment. On a scale of one to ten, Little Women rates an eight.

Area villagers enter only their best beasts. Thousands of specta- tors come to cheer as male camels, docile except during the rutting season, vie for a she-camel kept within sniffing range. Between bouts, souvenirs, handicrafts and Turkish delicacies such as kebabs, pide and raki are sold in tented stalls. Winners of each camel fight move to the next round until there are two finalists. When all of the kicking, biting, spitting - and no harm - is done, the dominant camel is treated like a king. So is his owner, who celebrates by donating cash prizes to his village to help pay for education and for care of the poor and elderly. The Camel Wrestling Festival kicks off a year-long calendar of events among the 26 member na- tions of the European Travel Com- mission. Though it's too late to see the camels, you may want to sched- ule your travels to coincide with one or more of the highlights. On the animal theme, rein- deer racing is featured at Sweden's Jokkmokk Sami Market, celebrating its 390th year on Feb. 2-5. Thou- sands of Sami, reindeer herders in Northern Scandinavia, gather at Jokkmokk, a town on the Arctic Circle, to sell traditional crafts, in- cluding baskets, weavings, clothes made from reindeer skin, pewter jewelry, and knives with handles made of etched reindeer horn. Sami delicacies - dried reindeer meat, fresh fish and special breads - are served. Better known is the annual Running of the Bulls during Spain's San Fermin Festival, this year July 6-14. Thousands of men and women risk their lives trying to outrun a herd of charging bulls ultimately corralled for fights in the Pamplona bullring. Sweden highlights other forms of competition at the World Championships in Athletics, this year Aug. 4-13 in Goteborg. More than 2,700 athletes from 200 coun- tries compete, making only the Summer Olympics and World Soc- cer Championships bigger. Street shows and performances at the city's new opera house are also fea- tured. The arts are in focus in Lux- embourg, designated European City of Culture for 1995. Events throughout the year include classi- cal music, ballets and operas, jazz and rock concerts, theater and pan- tomime Similarly, Great Britain's year- long Festival of Arts and Culture features 500 separate music, drama. dance and film festivals, plus exhib- its, architectural and garden tours scheduled in London, Birmingham.

The Plaids J perform a musical revue that would make any music fan long for the days ; of poodle skirts, soda shops and bar- bershop quartets. Among my favorite ?numbers were "Moments to Remem- ber Chain Gang" and two selections out of the "Plaids Go Calypso" seg- j ment, "Day-O" and "Kingston Market "Moments to Remember "Day- !0" and "Kingston Market" were all ? sung by Jinx, played by Gilles Chiasson. Chiasson has an extremely versatile and powerful voice. It's no wonder that out of 22 songs, he sings the lead in seven. While Chiasson definitely had the best voice of the four, no one had l better stage presence than Neil "Nash, who portrayed Frankie. His "character's excellence was not surpris- ing considering his impressive resume, which consists of roles in "Cyrano de Bergerac "A Midsummer Night's Dream and "The Gift of the Magi The other cast members, Mark Martino (Smudge) and Stephen Wallem (Sparky), were fun to watch, although not quite as spectacular as Chiasson and Nash. Wallem does a respectable job as the stereotypical "dumb jock For example, at one point in the show Frankie tells Smudge that Sparky is busy writing the words to "Perfidia" on his hand. While this was a good idea as far as character development goes. I felt that his surreptitious glances at his hand were far too obvious to be considered successful. As for Martino s perfor- mance, he unfortunately wasn't fea- tured enough for me to form a solid opinion about either his voice or his acting ability. I did enjoy his rendi- tion of "16 Tons but it was almost run over by Frankie's 'Chain Gang and I wasn't given time to concentrate EXPERIENCE THE la: on it. My favorite parts of the show occurred in the second half, and credit for their success should go equally to the cast as well as the writerdirec- tor Stuart Ross. The first was a sing- along to the song "Mathilda" with Christmas lights and glowing bananas for that perfect calypso setting. The second was the Plaids' rendition of The Ed Sullivan Show - "in three minutes and eleven seconds During that three minutes the Plaids become jugglers, trained seals, vikings, flame eaters, accordion players and puppe- teers, all to the tune of "Lady of Spain Both scenes had the audience rolling in the aisles and added that much more to an already good per- formance. "Forever Plaid" was a great show. It was fun to watch and to lis- ten to. The actors gave energetic and enjoyable, if not perfect, performances. The set and costume designs were appealing. Out of 10 stars, "Forever Plaid" rates a seven.

And then, of course, there's al- ways Wal-Mart. Those of us with cars can spice up our lives with a trip into the wondrous land of Wal-Mart late- night. If you've never experienced this spectacle, it's time you did. Staff is low, customers are few, and chaos reigns! I've seen toy gunfights in the feminine hygiene section and guys test-riding bikes around the store. And there's all sorts of fun games you can play, like "Security Hunt where you act suspiciously and lead Wal-Mart rent-a-cops on a wild goose chase. My favorite Wal- Mart game, however, is "Bait the Psycho Here's how you play: find a scary loner and follow him around until he snaps (just hope he doesn't lose it in Hardware)!

Late night putt-putt golf might do well, for ex- ample (hey. bowling caught on, so why not?). But what would really be cool would be a Midnight Moviehouse. the kind of place that shows old cult movies on weekends. The Rocky Horror Picture Show would probably be huge here, for example, but the possibilities are endless. There's 60 or 70 years of movies out there that could draw an audience. I know I would pay to see Alien or Bladerunner on the big screen. Alfred Hitchcock films like Psycho would also be good, as well as stutt like Reservoir Dogs, the first movie from Pulp Fiction writerdirector Quenton Tarantino. That film was an independent release, and never made it to a lot of cities. But now that Tarantino is a big name, Dogs could be a nice money-maker. And what about 3-D movies? There are a ton of movie buffs in Greenville, and an old theatre like the Park downtown could make some money off this. At any rate. I think it's past time that we had something more to do than get drunk around here. Sure, it's fun. but even (especially?) alco- hol gets old after a while.

"It was a tremendous effort with an unjust ending ECU coach Eddie Payne said. "We came back- we had to fight and claw our way back, but we played well After a Kent Culuko missed shot in the lane over ECU guard Skipp Schaefbauer, Culuko hustled for his miss and dropped-in the game win- ner with :00.6 left ECU called a time- out to set up a designed inbounds play. Pirate forward Chuckie Robinson took the inbounds pass from forward Tim Basham at the top of key, and put up the game tying shot with less than :00.3, forcing a second overtime. However, the mid-court official denied that the shot was good, get- ting a big sigh of relief from JMU's coach. "Lefty" Driesell and the Dukes, while FJi:c ! tii insisted on kick- ing tc score ubie. Ur.eseB's response to his teams' victory was rather nonchalant "It was a good game. We let them back in it, but won it in the end Driesell said. "These are great games (in the CAA), but it all comes down to the CAA tournament A dismal first half that saw the Pirates perimeter shooting gather a weak 34 percent from the field while the Dukes were reluctant to miss (55 percent), ended with the Pirates trail- ing by four in the second half, as fresh- man Tony Parham (14 points) scored the first five points, as the Pirates ral- lied behind his shooting, and the in- side game of Chuckie Robinson (18 points). At one point, ECU overcame a twelve point deficit on the shooting of senior for- ward Anton Gill (15 points), and the bench' play of Vic Hamilton who added four points. As the Pirate fans became more intense, the second half intensified. Both teams would look to their pre- mier players to hit important baskets. Senior guard Kent Culuko hit a three-pointer with 9:26 left in the game, but would be answered by a Tim Basham three of his own to cut the lead to one. Sophomore guard Skipp Schaefbauer nailed a baseline three point basket to even the game at 57- 57 with 6:24 left The Pirates would trail late, until forward Anton Gill hit a clutch three point shot with :26 remaining. "I'm a Senior, and I am sup- posed to make shots like that Gill said, who responded to his game ty- ing shot. The regulation ended dead- locked as JMU's uuard Darren McLinion attempted a three point shot from the top of the key with time running down. The power and quickness of senior forward Louis Rowe, CAA's leading scorer, was not a factor due to the tremendous defensive effort by Tim Basham, who heid the JMU player to 14 points. It looked as it ECU would hang on to the lead in overtime as Louis Rowe, last weeks' CAA player of the week, committed his fifth personal foul with 4:14 remaining. However, Rowe's replacement, Ryan Culicerto sank an important three pointer from the right side with 1:24 on the clock. "Rowe is our go-to guy in close games, and he is a big force JMU coach Driesell said. The older and more mature JMU team took advantage of ECU's youth and mistakes and capitalized with control late in the overtime period. With a combination of misses from both Tim Basham from the three point line and Chuckie Robinson un- derneath with three JMU players all over him, JMU grabbed the loose ball and called a time-out. Driesell looked to get the ball in the hands of his star guard, Culuko, the games leading scorer and best three point shooter (50 percent), as time ran down. Under :07 remaining Culuko followed his miss with the game winning tip. "Any lose in the conference is tough Schaefbauer said. "The play- ers decide the games this is college basketball at its best" On the season, the Pirates dropped their second straight in the conference 0-2,(8-5) and will look to revenge an early season lose against Campbell as they piay host Monday evening. "We have to continue to work hard in practice, and take one game at a time senior forward Anton Giil said.

However, the season wasn't complete, and a tough conference schedule resumed on Saturday against American. On Saturday January 14. the ECU swimmers hosted the Ameri- can University in a dual meet that saw the Lady Pirates dominate a small women's team, while the men were overpowered by an older E4les' team. The Piuie charge was led by juniors' Hilary Xokes and Jackie Schmiedcr. who rolled to an impres- sive 8-0 (3-0 in CAA).

The Lady Pirates placed sec- ond behind Appalachian State, who outsccored ECU 120.5-115.5. ECU freshman Michelle Clayton won the shot put with a personal-best 40'8.75 and placed second in the weight throw with a school-record 44'8.25 Lady Pirate Carla Powell placed first in the 55m with a time of 7.22. an ECAC qualifying time. The ECU women's track team entered the '95 season with 33 members, 22 of which are return- ing from the '94 season. The Lady Pirates finished second behind George Mason in the CAA Champi- onships last season and are expect- ing another exceptional season. In years 1990-1993, the team finished fourth in the CAA, so 1994 served as jump ahead for the Lady Pirates. Among returning players for ECU is All-American Dava Rhodes. She placed eighth in the 10,000m at the NCAA Championship last sea- son. According to Head Coach Charles "Choo" Justice, ECU plans to attack with the depth in every event. In quest for the title, the Lady Pirates will attempt to unseed some of the returning champions. "ECU features the most all- around team in the CAA with qual- ity athletes in every event group said Coach Justice. Throws: The Lady Pirates feature four versatile throwers who hold the ability to earn big points for ECU. Juniors Zina Briley, Darlene Vick, and Kim Pakow.ski are joined by freshman Michelle Clayton. Briley, fourth in the CAA in '94, and Clayton, are mainstays in the shot-put. Pakowski, third in the CAA last season, and Vick, third in the CAA in '93, are discus pow- ers. Clayton, Pakowski, and Briley will take aim at breaking school record with the hammer. Vick will also throw the javelin. Jumps: Sophomore Lave Wil- son led ECU's jumpers last season by qualifying for the ECACs in the long and triple jump events, and she currently holds the school out- door triple jump record. Junior Michelle Bullock, holder of the ECU indoor triple jump record and ECAC qualifier, returns to chal- lenge Wilson to a friendly rivalry. Sophomore Amanda Johnson takes aim on the ECU outdoor long jump record as she already holds the in- door record. Johnson was second in the CAA in the long jump and qualified for the ECACs. Freshman Saundra Teel joins former high school rival Jennifer Murdoch to bolster ECU's high jumping. Sprints: Junior Carla Powell returns with two second place fin- ishes (100m, 200m) from the CAA meet last season, and she qualified for the ECACs two consecutive years. Sophomore Amanda Johnson (third in the CAA 100m) ran right behind Powell. Junior Shantell Carter is expected to excel in the 200m. Returnees Keisha Johnson and Erica Green will face strong competition from freshman Kim- berly Rinkerman.

All-Campus Men's and Women's Table Tennis Tournament Wednesday, February 1 6:00 p.m. Mendenhall Billiards Center (AP) - In an effort to restart the baseball strike talks, the owners' negotiating team will meet Thursday in Washington with special mediator WJ. Usery. A management official, speak- ing on the condition he not be identi- fied, confirmed the meeting Sunday. The official said events of no great significance were expected. "It's just a meeting to look ev- eryone in the eye and say, 'You've got to get this settled for the good of the country " the management official said. Owners broke off talks Dec. 22 and implemented their salary cap pro- posal the following day. The sides haven't met since. Boston Red Sox chief executive officer John Harrington, chairman of management's negotiating committee, has spent the past two weeks helping formulate the rules for replacement players that owners intend to hire for spring training and the regular sea- son. Baseball's ruling executive coun- cil approved the rules Friday. Union head Donald Fehr has spent the past 10 days conducting regional meetings with players. Fehr will hold his seventh meeting Mon- day at Caracas, Venezuela. The final meeting of the tour is Wednesday at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Usery was appointed by the Clinton Administration Oct. 14 and led the sides through five rounds of bargaining in the following two months. While he did cajole owners into making two tax proposals, the players' association said both plans eventually would act like salary caps, which owners didn't deny. "We weren't the ones who cut off talks Fehr said Saturday.

Enter Deion, carrying enough at- titude to inflate an organization all by himself. "This team was a great team, they would have made the playoffs without me. I was brought here for this ore game. And here Sanders paused tor dramatic effect, "we prevailed Not just prevail, but prevail with style. Deion taught the 49ers how to strut He taught the Mormon quarter- back to frolic and dance. He gave the white-haired professor the thrill of his coaching lifetime. And make no mistake - this WAS part of the job description - he pointed the organization back to the Super Bowl. In the aftermath of San Francisco's 38-28 win over Dallas, proof that Sanders' singular ideas about fash- ion and his petulant peacock-like per- sonality have influenced his newest teammates - some might say infected them - was everywhere. As one celebration continued, Steve Young, the former Brtgham Young quarterback and descendant of Brigham himself, was already looking ahead to the real team party. "Even for a Mormon guy Young said, "I swear it's going to be fun And talk about guys acting nutty. Young looked at coach George Seifert even less of a party animal than him- self. "Even George is loose Young marveled, "and that's something Of course, it wasn't only in the locker room that Deion and the gospel of don't-mess-with-me held sway over the 49ers.

There was the finger-pointing and waving, dancing and raving taking place on 49ers sideline, much of it inspired by the guys in the 'do rags - the scarlet bandanas favored by Sanders as protec- tion against helmet head, and now cop- ied by almost a half-dozen teammates.

It displayed a certain toughness the Niners lacked in losing to the Cowboys the last two years. And it exhibited the big play capabilities the offense and defense have. Michael Roxborough said the spread hasn't been so big since the Bal- timore Colts opened as 17-point favor- ites over the New York Jets in Super Bowl III. The Jets won the game 16-7. "It's not that the Chargers are the weakest team that has ever been in the Super Bowl said Roxborough, the oddsmaker who sets point spreads for 75 percent of Nevada's legal sports books. "It's that the performance by the 49ers was totally devastating. We had to set a line big enough so that the sports books would get some money bet on the Chargers Why would anyone bet on a team whose conference has lost 10 straight Super Bowls: a team that is making its Super Bowl debut; and a team that lost to San Francisco 38-15 in December? That was the last time the Charg- ers lost however. And they have beaten two pretty fair opponents. Miami and Pittsburgh (17-13 in the AFC title game, on the road, no less) to get this far. "The San Diego Chargers are on the move safety Stanley Richard pro- claimed. "This team will be ieady to play added linebacker David Griggs. "it feels great" For the first time, both Super Bowl teams play in the same state. For the, uh, 100th time, or 1.000th. the NFC team is considered awesome. Nearly all the stars suit up for the 49ers: Steve Young. Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Ricky Watters. Ken Norton - shall we go on? The only Charger with much renown is All-Pro linebacker Jun- ior Seau, and he could be run ragged by all of San Francisco's firepower. "Nobody is going to come out and walk through us. We're a professional team, and you don't get to this level by- being a pansy Chargers running back Natrone Means said. But the 49ers did just that on Dec. 11. Young was 25-for-32 for 304 yards and two touchdowns, and Rice caught 12 passes for 144 yards, joining James Lofton and Steve Largent as the only receivers with more than 13.000 career yards. That victory was nice. But it didn't compare to the NFC title win. And it certainly wouldn't compare to what the 49ers are expected to do in two weeks. "This is it it's the ultimate high San Francisco safety Tim McDonald said. "Just to get over this Dallas thing. They (the 49ers) brought in a lot of play- ers to make sure we would do that" Now, they must do a little bit more. HESTER from p. I. them. I didn't feel the same sense ? i team that we haw here at ECU. It seemed like their program lacks a lot of discipline. Coach McKnight, their quarterback coach, is a great guy. but I don't feel like playing football right now. at East Ten- nessee State or ECU The quarterback from Loganviile. Ga. would have been immediately eligible under new NCAA transfer rules that let a player compete right away and not sit out. if he transfers down a level. Fast Carolina is a Division l-A school, so any player who transfers from here to a I-AA school can play with out losing a year of eligibility. Chris came to our first team meeting .and we were very excited about him joining our program McKnight said. " He left that next morning and went home to Georgia. He said he was not sure if he was going to return to East Carolina or sit out the semester. He has a great reputation as a pretty good foot- ball player. We wish him a lot of success, but Chris is definitely not going to be a part of our football program The option to return to ECU was open for Hester and remain on scholar- ship even after taking the visit "Everyone said, 'just stay at ECU and finish your education Hestw said. "They djn't understand if you aren't motivated to play, it is really hard to feel right about being on a full ride. I just felt like I was wasting my time. Even though I was eligible to come back, my grades aren't all that good ECU head coach Steve Logan was supportive of Hester regardless of what he decided to do. "I talked with Coach Logan for about three hours Hester said. "We talked about life - not just football, judgements. He was more concerned about Chris the person, not the foot- ball player. He said that he would help me to go to another school if that is what I wanted, or I could come back to ECU. He asked me if I wanted to go with him to talk to a preacher, and i agreed. I felt like 1 needed some spiri- tual guidance right then. I wasn't at peace with myself. I didn't feel like I was living the way God would want me to live "I wouldn't say I'm saved but I feel a lot better he said. "I asked God to come in to my life and it feeb great. Coach Logan is a good man who cares about his players. People don't realize it because they only see him as a loot- hall coach, hut he can be your best friend when you need help Playing time was a defirvte fac- tor in Hester's decision to leave as well. After playing in five games (3 starts) in place of injured starter Marcus Crandell in 1993. Hester saw no game action this season. "Practicing hard all week and not getting to play is kind of like working a job and not getting paid Hester said. "1 telt iike I did a good job when I was out there Hester completed 47 of 87 passes (54 percent) and threw for 444 yards in '93. His top statistical perfor- mance came against UCF, the same game in which Crandell broke his ankle. He was voted the R.W. Moore "King of the Gridiron Award after completing 17 of 23 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown to beat the Knights. The most impressive thing about Hester's abilities, beside being an accu- rate passer, were his toughness and lead- ership qualities. Hester took several vi- cious shots before and after the whistle from the University of Washington de- fense in the Pirates 35-0 loss to the Hus- kies. "I thought he was going to take off his pads and have a big "S' on his chest Ail-American UW defensive line- man and current Los Angeles Ram D'Marco Farr said. "We hit him as hard as we could, and he just kept getting up for more "I feel proud of what I accom- plished, but just playing a little wasn't enough for me Hester said. "I wanted to start Every guy who is a competitor should want to start Marcus Crandell is a great quarterback and I'm real proud of him. 1 wish the best for him and the program. Coach Logan has that team realizing how to win. Hopefully, they will continue to win " I still have the desire to play, but for now I'm going to work and come back to school and finish up later. I am going to miss ECU and all the people there, but this was something i had to do for my best interests. Football is not the most important thing in my life DEION from p. 13 Then there was the first San Fran cisco interception by Eric Davis, a Deion understudy. Even as Davis was making way toward the end zone. Sanders came back across the field to help Dallas passer Troy Aikman to his feet Though the TV cameras did not catch what Deion said, the Cowboys quarterback clearly could be seen mouthing back. "Get away trom me It set the tone for the rest of Aikman's day. "I was saying keep yur head up Deion recalled, denying he had added insult to injury. But a moment later. Sanders recalled. "I just wanted him to throw me one "One in this case, meant an in- terception, and Aikman eventually- obliged. But even that didn't get Sand- ers off his back. Afterward, someone reminded Sanders that he had penalized himself by signing with San Francisco for less money than any of the i ither teams that pursued him offered. But Deion always said the first condition of employment was play- ing for a contender. "This proves to me that it's all right to dream again he said. That's not to say the commercial possibilities nave escaped him completely. An incentive clause in Sanders' incentive- laden contract guarantees him $750,000 for reaching the Super Bowl. A moment later, perhaps brightening at that very thought Deion looked straight at the cam- era. "It must be the money he said. It was a plug lor his new rap video, not the reason he came to San Francisco. But like the strut it wasn't a bad throw-in.

"Everyone swam fast times - American has a lot of depth and strength ECU swim coach Rick Kobe said. "Our women were able to out-swim AU, but our men were unable to come up with a victory In the men's competition, the only bright spot came when Jim Broughal captured the 100 Free. Other Pirates with strong perfor- mances were Andy Wright and McGee Moody both nabbing second place in the 1000 Free and the 50 Free. However, the determination was not enough for the younger ECU team as they fell 141-97. In a dual meet before the Christmas break, ECU hosted Duke. As the Lady Pirate team came through with another opponent thrashing, the men were somewhat challenged by a weaker Duke team. After a Pirate swimmer was dis- qualified for an early start on the last event (400-Free relay), the Pi- rate swimmers took the victory by a single point The Ladies cruised (147-92) and looked towards the Christmas holiday as a chance to relax and pre- pare for an obviously-grueling month of CAA swimming.

The Pirate swim team was busy over the holidays as they trav- eled to West Palm Beach, Florida for their annual Christmas training trip. Pirate swimmers averaged five hours a day in the pool and over 90,000 meters in the eight day trip. The Pirates met North East Mis- souri State University in an exhibi- tion scrimmage on January 3 in order to maintain their competitive edge.
