Now, a recent report initiated by the Office of Undergraduate Studies and graphed by university planning and institutional research has shown courses and course areas that have continually caused students prob- lems. "This information comes from the Office of Undergraduate Stud- ies said Dr. Robert Denney, associ- ate director for university college. "We have a computer program that we run at the end of each semester that tells the grade distribution for courses Unlike the Academic Difficulty Reports that monitor freshmen course difficulties, this program in- cludes all students. "This program counts up the number of grades, the As, Bs, Cs, Ds and Fs for each course, and then ranks the courses by the raw num- ber of Ds and Fs for a given course and prints them out from highest to lowest Denney said. "We only print out the top 50 in terms of Ds and Fs The actual number crunching and report was done by university planning and institutional research. "Basically, all we did was ar- range the data for them in a way that made it more manageable for them to start locking at it s?.id Robert J. Thompson, director of planning and institutional research. A number of courses repeat- edly show up on the report, includ- ing Math 1065 and Biology 1050. However, the percentages may be misleading when comparing a class with 150 students to a class with 30 students. "You can't go and say here are the worst courses on campus said Charles Kirby Jr associate director for planning and enrollment analy- ses. "The courses that you see here, if you look at the head count, the number of students in those courses, you're going to find that they are the big ones. "The introduction to biology, chemistry, the math courses. Those are the ones with all the students in them. So, you would have a higher number of Ds and Fs in those courses because of the overall number in the course "The most dramatic example of that is the freshman composition class Denney said. "There are some- thing like 1,100 to 1,200 students who take freshman composition. Whereas you may have a history class or some other class, having only one section of it and 20 people in it" "Theoretically, say 15 people out of that 20 people in that class make a D or an F. That would be a very hard class but only 15 Ds or Fs. English 1100, has 1,100 people who's grades are sufficient, but because there are so many students you may have 50 Ds or Fs in t hat course. In this program, English 1100 would come out ahead of this other course in the ranking, but that's a false mea- sure of which is the harder course Though the undergraduate of- fice initiated the report, the findings will be used by the faculty senate's advising and retention committee. "Undergraduate studies is not the consumer of this information Denney said. "The Undergraduate studies generates the information, and we take it to the university ad- ECU'S TOP 5 Ds&Fs GRADES REPORTED AT ECU FROM SPRING 1994 See FAIL page 4 CourseDF MATH 106555 MATH 107451 PHYS 105049 BIOL 105049 CHEM 116049 Statistics provided by Planning & Institutional Research Help on the way IMC �DEBT North Carolina ferries have taken on a new look � complete with the official school colors of the UNC System schools.

The Department of Transporta- tion (DOT), in compliance with the State Division of Ferries, will be redecorating 16 ferries to match the 16 college cam- puses in the University of North Caro- lina education system. The decision to repaint the ferries was a move to show support for the state's public colleges and universities. "This identification of each uni- versity will allow people from out to state the opportunity to leam more about the outstanding system of higher education in North Carolina said Chancellor Ri- chard Eakia The decision to repaint the ferries was a move to show support for the state's public colleges and universities. "I am delighted that DOT has elected to undertake this program Eakin said. "As I understand, a new ferry has been painted with the East Carolina University colors According to the Division of Fer- ries, several million people use the ferry system each year. The ferry system is useful to N.C. residents and is also an excellent tourist attractions. In 1992,37 percent of the riders aboard were from out of state. The idea first erupted with a visit to the N.C. ferry maintenancy yard by DOT Secretary Sam Hunt After seeing the drab, uncolorful ferries, he originated an idea to help the beauty of the vessels. "Originally, I thought that each of the school systems could adopt-aOboat and send art students to paint murals on the sides of the boats - to give them color Hunt said. The style of the ferries can easily be converted to represent the campuses by adding color stripes and mascot logos to the original black and white colors. "The DOT wanted to use what the state already has and then improve it said Sam Hunt, Department of Trans- portation secretary. The East Carolina ferry, titled Ce- dar Island, was the first to be painted and displayed directly from the shipyard. Norm Carolina State University's red and white was the second. Appalachian State University was the first vessel to be reno- vated with their black and gold moun- taineer emblem. "The renovations give a 100 per- cent better look for the ferries, and we have had only good responses from the public Hunt said. "As an ECU gradu- ate, I feel that the purple and gold of the East Carolina ship is the prettiest one out there Just about everyone has seen the line that stretches around Spilman, home of the cashier's office, at the be- ginning of each semester. Students have to wait in line for three hours at times, but help is on the way. This spring, ECU is planning to implement a new computer system which could electronically change the way financial aid, and other money matters are handled. "Because we are anticipating that change to a new computer system, we expect that the way we do business is going to change significantly over the next year or two Rose Mary Stelma, director of financial aid, said. "We will look at electronically paying financial aid and eliminating the need for stu- dents to stand in line most of the time. One of the things we want to do is, instead of writing a check for all the grant and loan programs through our office, we want to just have that credit appear on your bill if your record is O.K its already there on your account and then you don't have to stand in line to endorse those checks Standing in line is something most students could do without 'It sucked, I stood in line for two hours the first time, just to find out my check wasn't in communications ma- jor Jeff Lee said. He snuck in the back door the next time around. "I paid my tuition, and I didn't feel like I had to stand in it again -1 didn't want to have to wait in line, that was ridicules The majority of students waiting in line are there to receive financial aid refunds. "It makes me really mad to wait for an hour and a half to find out my check wasn't even there Meredith Lan- gley, a sophomore said. "They should have a better way of letting you know if you owe money Stelma agreed. She said it is a good idea to check with financial aid before waiting in line at the cashier's office, even though financial aid also experiences such back-ups at the begin- ning of the semester. The lines seem to be unavoidable. "It is not a system that we like in financial aid, it is not a system that the cashier likes, it is not a system that stu- dents like Stelma said. "It really is a system that creates a lot of stress and aaxiety but it works. The money goes from point A to point B and the student's bill gets paid Stelma said students have to visit the cashier's office at least three times See HELP page 3 ECU Jazz Band shakes up Cali Warren Sumner Staff Writer ECU has received a great deal of national exposure in the past months from the success of its athletic programs. Many eyebrows have been raised in the region with the university's Shared Vi- sions improvement campaign and ECU has extended its student base to include incoming freshmen from around the nation. Last weekend, the ECU School of Music had its opportunity to act as an ambassador for the university, when the ECU Jazz Ensemble traveled to Anaheim, Ca to attend the International Associa- tion of Jazz Educators 22nd Annual In- ternational Conference. The group per- formed at 9 am. Friday at the Anaheim Hilton and shared the same stage with some of the giants of the jazz world. The trip marks a tremendous achievement for the program, which has garnered attention around the east coast with the release of their CD last year. Not only did the ensemble represent the university, but the entire state, as they were the only performing ensemble from North Carolina at the conference. Invited in the company of some of the top jazz outfits in the nation, the group agreed to open the conference as a culmination of years of work at the ECU School of Music. The group con- sisted of over 30 members and performed a seven-song program for some of the top professionals in the music industry who were on hand to hear the best ECU has to offer. The director of the ensemble, Carroll Dashiell, said the experiences gained at the conference could prove to be one of the biggest educational oppor- tunities the program has ever had. He said the compliments the band received about their performance were a testa- ment to the hard work that has brought the ECU jazz program to the level it stands at today. "The thing that was happening with this group at the conference was that we had a well-rounded program Dashiell said. "I heard so many comments from different people saying 'Man, you know that the thing that was really nice was that, you guys played with great dy- namics, you had the ups and the downs' and 'You played such a diverse program it was really great "A couple of times you'd look out and see our 'cats' having lunch and you'd see (jazz greats) Billy Taylor or Freddie Hubbard or Horace Silver sitting at the next table. Those things, man you just See JAZZ page 2 Doctoral Research Day planned Ike Shibley Staff Writer Students interested in learning more about the medical field and what occurs on the other side of campus may consider attending the annual Doctoral Student Research Day. The Doctoral Student Associa- tion, a group composed of graduate students at the School of Medicine, will be holding its third annual Doctoral Student Research Day on Jan. 24 at the Greenville Hilton. "The day's goal is to open the lines of communication between gradu- ate students, both on main campus and at the medical school said Dr. David Terrian, associate professor in anatomy and cell biology. "The day is also de- signed to increase public awareness of the vital role of sciences education and research in the medical community Research Day provides an oppor- tunity for doctoral students in the sci- ences to gain recognition. The role of graduate students in the medical school is sometimes forgotten amid the mission to train general practitioners. "Medical schools have more than one mission says Dr. Alvin Volkman, associate dean of research and gradu- ate studies. "The mission that gets talked about here is the training of medical students to deliver a particu- lar and important kind of care to meet the needs of the public. But, medical schools also have a mission to seek new knowledge relating to causes and mechanisms of diseases and ever-im- proving treatment A large part of our faculty is engaged in such research and related scholarly activity Volkman stressed the impor- tance of students pursing their master's degrees who will later work towards their doctorates. "As part of this mission, we at ECU have an active graduate program leading to the degree of PhD. This is the Doctoral Program. It is important in the training of medical students that they be taught in an atmosphere of in- quiry and progress. In these ways, our research program, including our doc- toral program, supports our missioa" This year the Doctoral Student Association will be hosting Dr. Steve Fuller as the keynote speaker for Re- search Day. Dr. Fuller is the chairm?n of the department of sociology and so- cial policy at the University of Durham in England. During his talk, "The Two Cultures Revisited: Who's Afraid of the Sociology of Science Fuller will dis- cuss "the lack of communication be- tween humanistically and scientifically trained person The speech title was taken from a 1959 speech given by physicist -nov- elist C.P. Snow who divided the world into two cultures, arts and sciences. Dr. Fuller's speech will address the gap between scientists and non-scientists. Doctoral Student Research Day will offer a full day of intense, special- ized scientific data. Over 20 students will have hard sciences which add to the growing body of scientific knowl- edge. The Research Day will conclude with a softer, but no less important, science, that of philosophy and sociol- ogy. Dr. Fuller's talk will provide a per- spective in which to view all the data that has been presented during the day. "Research Day is for students of all interests, not just scientists, and with Dr. Fuller to give the keynote for the day, we felt we have put to- gether an important and informative meeting said Amy Roscoe, the presi- dent of the Doctoral Student Associa- tion. Doctoral Student Research Day begins at 11 a.m. on Jan. 24 with reg- istration beginning at 10 a.m. Dr. Fuller's talk will follow dinner, which begins at 5:45 p.m. The events of the day are free of charge (with the ex- ception of the dinnerspeech which costs $5 for students and10 for non- students). Advanced registration is suggested and can be done by calling Katrina Searcey at 816-2808. A lim- ited number of tickets will be avail- able at the door on a first-come-first- serve basis.

Thursday, January 19. 1995 The East Carolinian JAZZ from p. 1 can't beat that. (Trumpet star) John Faddis said Man. you guys were hittin and the vice-president of the IAJE is a dean at the University of Colorado and has already made arrangements for one of our sax players to do his doctorate there. It was just a great experience for everybody The conference also proved to be an opportunity for the ensemble mem- bers to surround themselves with the art form they love, along with some of its most eloquent artists. "There was music going on all the time said Helen Pridgen. a featured vocalist for the ensemble. "There were a lot of different things going on from early in the morning till late at night (The featured performers) were supposed to stop playing at 12 a.m but they just kept going on and on Pridgen said it was impossible to hear all of the performances that the conference provided, but she said she witnessed a number of incredible shows during her time there. She counts a per- formance by legendary vocalist Nancy Wilson as her favorite. "1 was in awe she said. "Her en- tire performance just told a story, it was beautiful. I was just sitting there with tears in my eyes. She's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, but I was amazed at her control and fluidity Pridgen said that she felt ECU'S performance ranked among the top school bands in the nation and felt their philosophy gave them an edge over some groups that performed at the conference. "I think we had an excellent show- ing she said. "At ECU. the music's more of a 'feel' thing. A lot of groups were try- ing to play a lot of technical stuff and not many of those grooved. With us it was more like from the heart" William Tynch. a saxophonist in the ECU band, echoed Pridgen's senti- ments. "I think everyone else was trying to play 'correct which is fine from an academic standpoint" he said. "We tried to play more from our hearts, and I think we did that" Tynch said he was surprised in the down-toearth attitudes shared by the conference's visiting professionals. "ft was great to talk to all of the players that were there he said. "There wasn't a lot of competition or attitude. everyone there was sharing ideas and that was really cool Tynch said he felt the trip to Cali- fornia did much to enhance the university's image, which Tynch said was a welcome feeling "after getting beat up in that bowl One of the highlights of the trip was the ensemble's chance to visit The Tonight Show, which films its programs in close proximity to the conference. The group was recognized by host Jay Leno as part of the studio audience, as well as a taped greeting from Brantbrd Marsalis. the legendary leader of the Tonight Show Band who was in N-w York play- ing for Howard Stern's birthday celebra- tion. Dashiell said, laughing, that the appearance on the Tonight Show should help justify the expense of the trip as the two mentions of the university would probably be quite expensive otherwise. He said he plans to send a "thank you" to Marsalis. whom he counts as a friend, and the rest of the Tonight Show orga- nization. Dashiell said the performance at the conference and the exposure the band received could do wonders for the program and hopes it will ease the way for the program to reach even higher goals in the future. "The band being at the conference. I think, is going to solidify the program even more in the jazz realm he said. "This conference gives us so many dif- ferent contacts, we exchanged numbers with so many different people who were impressed with the way we played. All these schools with what are known to be hellacious jazz programs were there. "I still consider this program at the baby stage of development there is so much more we need to do. so much further we need to go in the develop- ment of our program. But for us to be selected out of 1500-plus ensembles who auditioned was such an honor, and it's going to do wonders for this program. We're going to attract students who may want to come to ECU just to study jazz, and I think that really says something Area reporter to witness execution BAD HAIR DAY? 99 Stephanie Lassiter News Editor As convicted murderer Kermit Smith prepares to be executed Tues- day. Jan. 24. Greenville anchor re- porter Rex Rowland prepares for what may be one of the most impacting sto- ries of his life. "Obviously, it will be an expec- tation I've never gone through before Rowland said in an interview Wednes- day. I'm going in there to report the story- I'm not sure what to expect Rowland, who was selected to be one of five media witnesses, said this story is just like any other story he would cover. "I'm treating it like any other story Rowland said. Rowland discovered the oppor- tunity through the Associated Press (AP) wire service. A member of the WNCT-TV staff wrote a proposal nomi- nating Rowland to be a witness. On Jan. 24, Central Prison Warden James French named Rowland as one of the witnesses. Besides the five media wit- nesses, six official witnesses were named. According to a press release from the Department of Correction, the dis- trict attorney and sheriff in the county of conviction each nominate two wit- nesses and the State Bureau of Ir 'S- tigation and the North Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association each nominate one. Each of these six wit- nesses are required to sign an affidavit of execution following the execution. Rowland and the other television reporter were selected to be broadcast witnesses by The Radio Television News Directors Association of the Caro- linas. The North Carolina Press Asso- ciation selected the two print report- ers. The Associated Press witness was selected by the AP itself. Rowland said he will be escorted into the execution chambers around 1 a.m. on Tuesday morning. He will not be allowed to carry in a pen or paper. After the execution, scheduled for 2 a.m Rowland will be escorted to an area where other television anchors reporters will be awaiting. He will then give a statement and answer any ques- tions. Each of the media witnesses have specific responsibilities similar to Rowland's responsibility as the televi- sion witness. Others will report to news- paper reporters, radio reporters and members of the Associated Press. "My specific duty is to talk to the TV people Rowland said.

"As soon as you get your bill af- ter Thanksgiving, the student can go to the cashier's office and say, 'I have fi- nancial aid the financial aid will ap- pear on the computer record and the fees are considered to be tentatively paid. The student can get their sched- ule before these massive lines occur Stelma said. "But the only way you can actually get your financial aid paid, is to stand in line and to physically sign the back of a check The student must then wait a week before actually receiving the check. When dealing with more than one check, Stelma said a student may have to stand in line several times. "They have to process the record, show the payment, and then refund checks are written through another of- fice through another process Stelma said. Eight to nine thousand students receive checks at the beginning of each semester. Although the situation would seem to be stressful, Cashier Norman Cabacar enjoys his job. "A busy time is how Cabacar described the weeks just before and af- ter the beginning of school. "The work is repetitious, processing schedules and checking financial aid. but each student is a different case Cabacar said he does encounter upset students, but said that is just a part of the job. "During registration, the week before and after, its usually very busy he said. "As a courtesy to the students, we try to take only 30 minute lunches Dining services provides meals for the cashier's, who do not have time to leave the seemlessly never ending lines. Some students wonder about the busy phone lines? Stelma said five cashiers handle windows during the first weeks of school and three part- time employees handle mailed-in pay- ments and answering the phones. Four 5 0Z.

The financial aid office has one full- time employee who answers four in- coming lines. Moore said the cashier's office handles tuition payments, food plans, housing payments, departmental loans, dropped hour and withdrawal refunds as well as financial aid refunds. "Its frustrating to students and us as well Moore said. "We deal with so many lending agencies and they have different policies. A lot of times these agencies write a letter to the stu- dent saying that we have received their financial aid, but we don't have it Financial aid checks must first go through the financial aid office be- fore being transferred to the cashier's office. "Another thing we want to do in the future is with the major banks, where the majority of our students bor- row their student loans through, we want to do what's called electronic funds transfer basically wiring money from one account to another Stelma said. Despite the implementation of a new system, the cashier's office will always have the responsibility of dis- tributing checks. "Federal regulations say that you have to separate the au- thorization process from the dispersal process Stelma said. Student loans and grants must be individually verified before checks can be sent to the cashier's office. Fi- nancial aid does not open until 10 a.m. every day because, "we have a lot of paper to push Stelma said. "Just for student loan programs, are over 7,000 checks that are coming in right before school starts we have to verify that the student is still en- rolled or registered and that nothing in their financial aid has changed. Le- gally, by federal program regulations, the earliest we could release those checks to students would be 10 days before school starts Stelma said. Stelma said ECU does not re- lease checks until the first day of class because if a student receives a check and decide not to go to school, then the university is liable for those funds.

That committee pri- marily looks for trends and changes. We look for trends as opposed to spe- cific courses. "If we see more students that are having trouble in a course, the committee has the option to investi- gate what's going on. Has there been some change in the curriculum? Has there been some change in the stu- dent body? Has there been some change in the instructional proce- dures? Plus, can we identify a reason that would explain what is happen- ing?" Denney then said that the com- mittee would discuss whether or not something could or should be changed to alleviate the problem. However, true change comes from departments. "It's an indirect measure as op- posed to a direct measure Denney said. "The departments are respon- sible for direct measures. Each depart- ment looks at their own courses and is responsible for the instruction and the action that needs to be taken if there looks like there is some unusual or unexpected result" The undergraduate studies has begun supplemental instruction (SI) courses to address some of the prob- lems that have surfaced. "One element that I've been per- sonally involved with for 2 12 years is what we call supplemental instruc- tion Denney said. "That's an effort where you look at courses that are problems to students, as opposed to students that are having problem "We can identify from this DF chart that there are certain courses that most students have more trouble with than other courses, and that these courses are very common that students will take or, in some cases, are gate-keeper courses you have to take to get into some program. We use supplemental instruction simply to make a difference to what happens in these courses Students can get in SI courses by enrolling for classes specifically marked in the class directories. Cur- rently, a section of Biology 1050, a section of Anatomy and Physiology, a section of Chemistry 1150 and a sec- tion this semester of Chemistry 1160 have been under SI. Denney said that in these courses, students have extra assis- tance in course content and better study skills. He said the university plans to expand the SI program and give better advising to students. "We've also been looking at what kind of information we can give the students, what kind of advising we can give the students to help them help themselves better Denney said. Ian Eastman, SGA president and member on the Course Drop Ap- peals Committee, said the university can lower the number of Ds and Fs by taking another look at its current dropadd policy. "There are a few things that are happening with the Student Govern- ment Association Eastman said. "We are planning on attacking the drop add policy. What I mean by that is, that currently, you have your four drops, and the four drops end half- way through the semester Eastman said he feels this policy limits students' choices. "At most universities, you can drop until the last week of school Eastman said. "We feel that in past years, the university has limited the students ability to make that decision of where to drop and where not to drop. I think by them bringing us down to only four drops, it has hurt us. I understand that they only want four drops, but I am saying, and hope- fully this will be getting through near the end of the semester to the student government, that the four drops policy is fine but let us drop until the last week or second to the last week of school Eastman said that undergradu- ates may not be able to tell if they can do well or not in a class until pass the dropadd date. That can lead to Ds and Fs in courses. "The graduate school students are allowed to go until two weeks be- fore the course ends to drop the class. Why can't the undergraduates do that?" Eastman asked. "If you are going to limit us to four drops, 1 mean that's a big restraint as it is right now, why can't we use it over our whole course of the period. So. that's what we're trying to shoot at" Eastman said the faculty senate makes the rules and the process of change takes time. "Unfortunately, it takes such a long time to get things going that 1 may not be in office when this finally happens Eastman said. "It may hap- pen next fall but as long as we lay the ground work for when this is supposed to be happening and if we get people thinking about this, we can possibly do it" li ini(irr you for the formal mid ronh'iil of the March IK, 199.1 OMATExam GMAT Review Course Course Schedule TuesdayFehruary 7 ThursdayFebruary 9 Tuesday February 14 ThursdayFebruary 16 TuesdayFebruary 21 ThursdayFebruary 2?

Thursday, January 19, 1995 The East Carolinian Our View For many students the frustrations of early registration day are menial compared with what awaits them during late registration financial aid check pick-up and tuition payment day. Upon entering ECU, many students become recipients of financial aid, never knowing what obstacles stand ahead of them. Had they known, they may have resorted to other means for acquiring tuition noney. Hey, selling clothes has always worked for paying the phone bill. Little did we realize that receiving one check, which was loaned to us, not given, would take eight months. By the time we finally receive our checks, our tuition has been paid for, our bills have been settled and we are surviving sufficiently on macaroni and cheese and Oodles of Noodles. But these problems seem nothing compared to those of many financial aid-receiving students. Some students have two jobs and don't lave to rely on financial aid to eat. But, there are those who can't juggle a job and their academic schedule, therefore financial aid is their temporary means of income. Where can these students turn for financial support? Many students don't have parents whc will support them until their checks arrive. Others have their own families waiting at home to be fed. How do these people feel after they have stood in line (on one of the co dest days of the winter) only to be told their checks have not come in yet? Could these people's questions have been answered without their having to wait in line all day? Couldn't a list be printed (as checks are received) and hung on the door of the financial aid office? Couldn't there be two lins, one for check pick-up and another for tuition payment? Students could receive their checks through the mail. It works for the IRS. It seems as though many of these obvious questions have not been addressed, as evidenced by the hundreds of students who shivered in the cold outside of the cashier's office. At TECwe feel there are viable solutions to this problem, if someone other than the students will recognize them. On that cold January day, hostile comments flooded the campus grounds by students whose were told their checks hadn't come in, or that their checks were at financial aid (only to be sent back to the line at the Cashiers' Office because the checks were there all along), or worse, that their schedules were dropped because their fees were not paid in time. Twenty-three percent of the support which the Shared Visions campaign has re- ceived came from support for alumni. Will the students who stood in these horrendous lines be part of that 23 percent when they become alumni, or will their giving spirits be tainted with animosity toward a disorganized administration? Lack of planning spells danger Bike paths and sidewalks needed Steven A. Hill Opinion Editor No one person is to blame for Detlev Bunger's early demise. But his passing highlights a dilemma we have had in Greenville for some time. It is a quandary that, as Greenville grows, will only worsen if clear headed action is not taken soon. Of course I am referring to the perpetual battle between mo- tor vehicles, pedestrians and bi- cyclists. The topic is an old one that people like to ignore, but one that warrants closer scru- tiny. Think about it We have a shortage of parking spaces en campus, and wihout a magnificently tall parking garage in the near future there seems to be no relief in sight So, ride a bike to school you say. Fine. I shall serve as an example. 1 live near the intersection of Red Banks Road and Charles Boule- vard. Are there sidewalks that I could walk on leading to school? No. Are there clearly marked bike ianes? No. When you come to the corner of Greenville and Charles Boulevard, do the stop lights give pedestrians and bicyclists time to cross? No. One must scurry across the road and throw your- self at the mercies of the drivers. Belk Building is a part of cam- pus that is sufficiently distanced from main campus to warrant a car ride, or - if you are more daring - a walk or bike ride. Again, no bike paths and no side- walks. �smmmm��ISk There may be. however, sidewalks that do not continue for any practical length, thus leaving uneven grassy slopes to be negotiated. It was indeed a joy to see that signs emblazoned with a picture of a bike were placed on Charles Boulevard. Do they help? Hell no! The signs were an easy way out for our local leadership. An inexpensive and concurrently ineffective way of dealing with the problem. What is the major malfunction? Is it cash? I think not, since we just received a huge grant from the state to build a new library and yes - pretty new bleachers for our Pirates. Surely it could not cost that mucii to lay some paint down for bike paths and cement for sidewalks on the major arteries leading on to campus. Please do not duck the problem by telling me to take a bus. That an- swer is a cop-out that is surely related to the fact that North Carolina has more obese people than most other states in the nation. I wrote a letter to the mayor about this very same topic about a year ago. She replied, but I am sure that my letter was placed in the circular file. It is obvious that this lack ot planning falls upon the chancellor's as well as the mayor's shoulders. My question is what are they going to do about it? Admittedly, bike paths and side- walks will earn Greenville and ECU no money and absolutely no glory on the gridiron. But what is more important? Money or life? Dumb question, right? I am eagerly awaiting a letter to the editor from eitl.r the chancellor or the mayor concerning this issue. Who knows, maybe they will send me a pink slip instead. The East Carolinian Stephanie B.

Expectations for 1995 Big changes for America? Joshua White Staff Writer A new year is in the making and America patiently awaits the coming of social, economic and po- litical changes that have continued to elude our ailing society. The con- cern that faces America in theCom- ing year is not what events shall take place as much as whether our coun- try is prepared to deal with those events. America must have the convic- tion to remedy the current problems that plague its streets, communities and citizens. The possibility of change can only become a reality when America acts as a nation of equals devoted to the goal of social and economic well being for every member of its society. This remains an idealized pros- pect suspended by the obstinate and self-defeating workings of bipartisan politics as well as individuals debat- ing over personal values and inter- ests. The values that are esteemed by one group do not (and rarely do) reflect the collective values of a so- ciety. Americans have a difficulty ac- cepting that not everyone's opinion matters. While democracy allows for freedom of expression, it does not at- tempt to assert that one opinion is higher than the rest. Democracy is a political ideology founded upon ob- jective principles not subjective as- sertions - America must wake up to this realization. Personally, I have no desire to assert the supremacy of one politi- cal philosophy over another. Such dogmatic opinions are not construc- tive and only serve to hinder the op- portunity for opposing sides to agree on more vital issues facing the coun- try. However, I do feel that certain economic and social problems are being dealt with more objectively by one side. This is not to say that the other side is wrong , but that it is unwilling to compromise for the sake of social and political equilibrium. What expectations should the American people hold for 1995? In the coming months, will both parties dispense with petty arguments and get down to business? Will 1995 be remembered for propelling the tides of great change or will it be another cautious step down the wary path to- wards bettering the human condi- tion? The answers to these questions shall be anxiously awaited in 1995 as the year unfolds. One can only specu- late as to the shape of things to come. It is important however, for all Ameri- cans to be socially, politically and eco- nomically conscious in the year ahead. In 1995, we must work together as a nation and quit dwelling on all the problems and starting thinking about solutions. With sincere courage and conviction America can and will go forward. America will only go for- ward when hope is fostered amongst all of its citizens. Happy New Year and best wishes in the coming year to all the students and faculty at East Carolina University! a Letters to the Editor To the Editor. According to the article penned by Wendy Roundtree on the Eppes purchase by East Carolina, I can only come to the opinion that we have a political diamond in the rough. Richard Brown, the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs was quoted as saying, the university will be acquiring the property for certain in the foreseeable future Gee, he sounds pretty certain to me. The only problem is that he then pro- ceeds to say the whole thing is de- pendent upon $31.8 million dollar bond referendum. Well heck. I guess the chancellor already knows the outcome of any vote pretty insight- ful. Course sic, now I know why we had to have the increase in the cost of the students' right to park- ing space, six million is a good chunk of change. I kinda sic visualize the "suits" of our little teachers college chuckling at the SGA's cute little fuss over any price increases imposed. My fellow children, if revenues were lost due to the parking problem, funds would suddenly appear to correct the problem. Please remember SGA that you have no real power, you're sim- ply something to put on a resume. You're kinda sic like kissing your sister, it's nice, but nothing really gets accomplished, (that is unless the university wanted it done anyway) I'll sign off now so as to allow plenty of time for the English ma- jors to grade my paper and the "news- paper" to continue with probing ar- ticles on rock groups and CDs. I sup- pose I now have to put my name, rank and serial number. With apologies to my department John Carawan Junior Education To the Editor: On Sunday, January 22 at 5:00 p.m the National Organization for Women is sponsoring a pro-choice candlelight vigil at the Greenville Courthouse. This vigil will be held in order to recognize the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and to show support for a woman's right to choose. There are two recent move- ments which warrant the attention of anyone who believes a woman must have the right to choose. The first is the recent violence directed at abor- tion and family planning clinic staff by "pro-lifers The second is the 1994 elections. These elections brought in considerably more conservative legis- lators. Both of these factors make this evident that, although abortion is le- gal, we must continue to show our support for choice. Anti-choice sur porters need to know that violence will not be tolerated. Our legislators need to know that the majority of their constituents believe in a woman's right to choose. If you believe that abortion must be safe, legal, and accessible to women, please come out on the 22nd and show your support Be a voice for choice.

Perhaps expectations can af- fect the way one responds to a film. Perhaps I am still trying to determine why my response to Dumb and Dumber was so positive. Whether the mindset or expec- tations played a role though, there is no denying my reaction to the film. I laughed continually from beginning to end. Jim Carrey has never been funnier and, with a good script, he can really soar into the comedic stratosphere. I never thought I would say this, but I really liked Dumb and Dumber. Throughout the film witty re- marks combined with gross humor to make a remarkably hilarious pic- ture. The tone of Dumb and Dumber works perfectly. Enough of a story is presented to engage the viewer. The story allows the stars to interact with other characters so that their she- nanigans have a foil. The deliberately simple plot serves as a framework .yc mine VMi.Hlii us Coming soon for your edification and amusement Thursday, Jan. 19 Sex, Love and Money at the Attic (melodic metal) River Wild at Hendrix Theatre (action) 8 p.m. FREE!

The film opens by introducing the two main characters, Lloyd (Carrey), whose current occupation as a limousine driver is soon to end and Harry (Jeff Daniels), a dog groomer whose lack of common sense gets him fired in the first five minutes of the film. Lloyd and Harry dream of saving enough money to open a pet store specializing in worm farms. Unfortunately, they cannot save enough money to pay the gas bill let alone enough to become en- trepreneurs. Lloyd meets a beautiful woman named Mary (Lauren Holly) when he gives her a ride to the airport. Mary leaves a briefcase full of money in the airport lobby to pay the ransom on her kidnapped husband. Lloyd sees that Mary leaves the briefcase and rushes to return it to her. He misses her plane and is stuck with the briefcase, much to the conster- nation of the gangster who's sup- posed to pick it up. Upon returning to his hovel Lloyd convinces Harry- to drive to Aspen to return the suit- case. A series of misadventures fol- low Lloyd and Harry en route to Colo- rado in a truck detailed to look like a sheep dog. At one point Lloyd takes a wrong turn and drives over five hours in the wrong directicn. "I thought the Rocky Mountains would be rockier says Harry when he fi- nally wakes up to see flat land in all directions. The two friends also meet a Mafia hitman, who wants to get the suitcase back. At one point the Ma- fioso rides in the truck with Lloyd and Harry while the two friends sing horribly off-key. Dumb and Dumber has a few lulls, but the comedy rarely stops. Even the dull stretches serve to set up a joke later. The film, despite its title, displays a rapier wit. Lloyd mangles the phrase when he de- scribes himself as being charming, handsome and possessing a "rapist wit Yet relatively subtle humor like this shares screen space with belches, farts and diarrhea. Unlike Airplane or The Naked Gun, the jokes in Dumb and Dumber do not occur with such rapidity that a second viewing would be necessary' to catch them all. The jokes breezily develop in their own time so that most viewers will catch them the first time through. Yet the beauty of the film is that, despite the slow pace of some jokes, the film never insults the viewer's intelligence. The viewer has a clue from the title that Shakespeare provided no inspiration for the film, yet the humor crackles with such in- genuity that Dumb and Dumber seems much more intelligent than many other films currently playing, like IQ. 1 once thought Jim Carrey's star would burn out before the end of the year, but instead it continues to become brighter. Dumb and Dumber will be his highest-grossing film yet. The quality of the material promises that Carrey will have a long stay in Hollywood, even if every film is not the huge success oiDumb and Dumber. Lost in Carrey's shadow is Jeff Daniels who turns in a performance on par with Carrey's. He uses facial See DUMB page 10 Metallic returns Centaur and Priapism rule at O'Rock's Trent Giardino Staff Writer It is not very often when you can pay tribute to the bands who have been around the block. The people who worked hard for their money and always put on a good show, the people who are considered old school to some of the newer and more recent bands. One such band, Centaur, played at O'Rocks last Sat- urday night. Centaur is the epitome of old school heavy metal, and along with relative newcomers Priapism, their show on Saturday brought the house down. Centaur, the headlining band, decided that they were going to play first. It started out slow to a very small crowd, but as time went on a larger number of people were gath- ering to witness the festivity known as Centaur. They rocked for about two hours straight, playing numer- ous covers and even their own origi- nal ditties. Centaur knows how to put See DUMB page 10 Musical freedom Mikhail Pletnev will be conducting the Russian National Orchestra, the first independent orches- tra in Russia since 1917, when they perform at Wright Auditorium on Jan. 26.

Catching a new buzz �. ir Kris Hoffler Staff Writer It's not going to get better around here all at once; it comes in small pieces. The Perc feehouse is one of those cated right next to the ater, it offers a great vit Street and some of the fee around. IUs not just fee that makes it great, hi the atmosphere is stimu and it may just help to some culture back into th 20 bar town. The culture aspect comes in the form of live acoustic music ev- ery Friday and Saturday night and poetry read- ings (featured artist and open mike) every Thurs day. The Percolator also p vides a space for art s Any artist with enough m display their works without charge for two weeks. So we have live music, poetry and art all in the same place. This is something Greenville has needed for a long time. In talking with the two people that make the place work (Greg and Bradley), I got thoi oughly educated in the good and bad of making coffee. They get their beans from an independent supplier in Durham and make sure there is very little time between roasting, grinding and brewing of lose flavor and that is the highest of crimes in the coffee business. Their flavored coffees are flavored after they are made, which is the only proper way to do it. The baked goods are supplied by The Uppercrust Bakery just down the street. Everything in the place comes to you fresh and pretty darn tasty. Then there is what may argu- ably be the best aspect of the place, the price. The most expensive drink in the house is a Cafe Mocha at 2 dollars. In fact there are only two ems that cost over 2 dollars and ley are baked goods. These prices e especially good for the perpetu- ly broke college crowd. On the inside it is spacious ith a vast variety of seating that an be shifted around for caffeine- " inspired group conversations. There are also the intimate window seats that are great for waichinglhe world go by. The Percolator's long business hours (7 a.m. to midnight dur- ing the week and 7-1 on week- ends) can accommodate just about anyone but the heartiest of night owls. This reviewer may sound little over enthused, but I for one ive been waiting for something We this for a long time. Kudos to The Percolator Coffeehouse, we now have an alternative to the bar scene besides television. Fact: Two billion disposable razors (plastic handle and blade in one) are used each year. Tip: Buy a permanent shaver and use dispos- able, double-edged blades. Your shave will be the same. You may save a little money. Your contribution to the garbage stream will be significantly reduced. CD. Reviews wr; � " Sex,Love and Money Era �������� The last few years in Greenville have seen many new bands emerge and disappear. It's hard to name more than a handful of bands that have survived these times, but one that has is Sex, Love, and Money (S.LAM.). It looks as if these Greenville vets have finally gotten their big break with a record deal and the release of their new album Era, their debut release on Rockworld records. Sex, Love, and Money has al- ways been a band that consistently had a strong metal foundation in their music. Era keeps the metal coming from one end of the album to the other. S.LAM. should not be stereo- typed with most metal bands, how- ever. Their music has a much harder edge with a twist of flamenco guitar. This original sound separates them from the rest and will probably do quite well commercially due to the lack of diversity in present metal mu- sic. The new album is short with only seven songs, but still has numer- ous strong tracks. "Elephant Skin" is an interesting tune with multiple changes that accent each other very well. These changes highlight all the band members' talent, but most espe- cially guitarist John Bateman. Another track that stands out is "Tribe which has all the compo- nents of a winning song. Strong lyri- cal content with a very driven and kinetic sound combine to form a song with a purpose and reason. There is a weak link in the al- bum: the repetitive riffs that haunt S.L.A.M. throughout. The repetition seems like too much at times, but hardly tarnishes the overall album at all. It's obvious that S.LAM. makes it a purpose to play as a unit and work off each other instead of playing as individuals. This is what these guys do best. This unified sound comes with experience, and no band around has more experience than Sex, Love, and Money. These guys deserve a lot more recognition and coverage than they have gotten in the past. Their time has come and many heads will turn as S.L.A.Ms true potential is fi- nally realized. So check them out to- night at the Attic for Era's official al- bum release party. �Quentin Pickup Porch Porch �������� Todd Huth is a redneck. Not your average, everyday, tobacco- chewin mud-flap-flyin kill-em-all- let-God-sort-em-out kind of redneck, but a redneck nonetheless. This is not an insult, nor a joke at his expense. It's simply the truth. Todd Huth is just a good ole boy enjoying what he's doing a little bit harder than average. And what Huth does is lead the three-man bizarro metal powerhouse called Porch. An original member of Primus (themselves dyed-in-the- flannel rednecks), Huth comes by his enthusiasm naturally. And Primus can be heard lurking around the sticky corners of this album, as the plodding heavy metal crunch of Porch gives way to jazzy Looney Tunes guitar at unexpected moments. In fact, every thudding, bass- heavy Melvins-style riff on Porch is underscored by a jumpy, urgent gui- tar that keeps the listener running so as not to get beaten to a pulp by the hammering front beat. Some- times the two collide on tracks like "Iceberg which has a heavy, churning chaotic feel. But usually, as on the pound- ing "My Ragin' Ragged Booty this is aggressively heavy music.

(AP) - The network known for such raunchy se- ries as Married With Children is bidding for new stature, planning a spinoff of the eerie X-Files and projects from some of TV's most re- spected producers. But the Fox Broadcasting Co. won't stray too far from its roots. It also plans a drama about a vampire clan in present-day San Francisco, produced by Aaron Spelling - whose company already pumps out Melrose Place and Beverly Hills, 90210. Entertainment chief John Matoian announced the programs in development Friday at a Television Critics Association gathering. The X-Files, an eerie drama about FBI agents on the trail of UFOs and the paranormal, nas been a Friday night success for Fox - one it will try to capitalize on with a spinoff from series creator Chris Carter. The new series is "embryonic" and details were unavailable, a Fox spokesman said. Trying to glean more gold from X-Files talent, Fox has series writers Glenn Morgan and James Wong working on a drama, Space, described as the futuristic adven- tures of "top gun" pilots. The fourth network also is planning projects from producer David E. Kelley Picket Fences); ac- tion filmmaker John Woo (Hard Tar- get, The Killer); and social satirist Michael Moore, who is bringing his short-lived NBC series TV Nation over to Fox. Woo is set to produce Once a Thief, an action series about a re- formed criminal and federal agent who infiltrate a crime syndicate. Another filmmaker. Francis Ford Coppola, completes a TV hat trick with a drama series for Fox. Coppola, already working on CBS and NBC projects, is producing White Dwarf, about a mystical, em- battled planet. It's set for spring. Kelley, who also produces Chi- cago Hope, is joining with Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider Northern Exposure producers) on a one-hour series, The Pastor's Wife, about a young couple in a Staten Island parish. Gorilla love ATLANTA (AP) - Willie B has a bad case of gorilla love. His keeper says the silverback is smitten after just a few days with the young Mia Moja. So, too, is Mia Moja - even though she's some 30 years younger and 300 pounds lighter. "There is a tremen- dous size difference, but she definitely is in love and he seems to be reciprocating said Dietrich Schaaf, the general curator at Zoo Atlanta. Willie B. who tips the scales at 415 pounds, spent his first 27 years at the zoo in isolation before being introduced to other gorillas. Zoo officials worried that the sexually befuddled Willie would never mate, but then he met Choomba. She gave birth to a female, Kudzoo, last February, making Willie the oldest gorilla in captivity to sire an offspring. Now he's got his sights set on Mia Moja - whose name is Swahili for 100, because she was born on the zoo's 100th anniversary. Mia Moja will be 6 years old next month. She was moved from her father's group into Willie B's group Thursday because she has entered puberty. She quickly made herself at home, following Willie B, staring at him provocatively and sitting in his lap. Schaaf said the two have been intimate, but it may be months or even a year before Mia Moja is capable of conceiving. 1 ICtlI� 1. 1 1 Rush AOQ Alpha Phi Omega Co-Ed National Service Fraternity Help provide service to the Nation, Community, and Campus.

It's the weird mutant off- spring of Primus and Black Sab- bath, breast-fed by They Might be Giants. It's pretty darn good is what it is. and often very funny between all the screaming metal bluster. The funniest track is probably Porch's blistering version of the Pretenders' "Tattooed Love Boys which somehow becomes a play on KISS-style penis rock. Considering tlu- Porch boys' serious lack of rock star ego. self-stroking idiocy like "Love Boys" is a riot. Clearly, this is a band that doesn't take itself too seriously. And while we're on the sub- ject of humorous musical stroking. "Palm Hair" is probably the funni- est instrumental I've ever heard. A guitar-heavy interpretation of mas- turbation. "Palm Hair" cleverly evokes the emotions (?) raging through the act of auto-eroticism. Particularly funny is the quiet. Santana-like guitar that brings a moment of silence before the song climaxes in a minute-long orgy of noise. Running an epic seven min- utes. "Palm Hair" should bring an instant feeling of recognition to anyone who's ever had an orgasm. And all this without stooping to Beavis-level snickering. Less private, but perhaps more surreal, is "Bulbous Head Porch's lively entry into the tired field of heavy metal ballads. "Maybe I should go rub my hog or go blow up a bridge Huth croon "Stick my head in a sewer drain and sing a hymn bulbous head bulbous head Actually, this song reminds me of some of Nirvana's slower stuff somehow; maybe it's the guitars or the subdued vocals, or maybe the weirdly depressing lyrical imagery.

Porch is filled with such bi- zarre imagery, as Hutch the redneck and his buddies jump in their existential Jeep and go four- wheelin' through the mud of thir collective unconscious. It's heavy metal for the dadaist in you! So check it out. I guarantee you'll have a surreal time. �Mark Brett PRIAPISMfromp.8 on a good show as they demonstrated their hack-to-back guitar techniques. The crowd loved it as they chanted the hand's name and finally around 12:45 a.m they left the stage. Cen- taur rocks in such a way that no other hand is even in the same league as they are. Their backdrop logo even had a real sword for the letter "T Soon, the much-anticipated re- turn of Priapism would be here. With a band like Priapism (look it up in the dictionary), you never know what is in store for the crowd. Last show it was balloons and confetti, this show, smoke and lights. Since their last appearance, they have acquired Ray King, a new growling vocalist fcho has added a new feel to the hand's presence. At 1:00 a.m. the lights went down and the smoke started. As the smoke billowed forth, out of the cloud came music. Priapism had taken the stage. Very much different from the last show they put on, I was impressed by how much this band had improved in only two months. Lead guitarist Have Limbo was ex cited to show Greenville their new style and said that the most impor- tant aspect ol the show was for ev- eryone to haw- a good tune, while rhythm guitarist Todd (The Cacao Demon) just wanted to sec some good moshing. The crowd seemed to he doing both, and more than a few times it almost got out of hand. Priapism. I think, shocked a few people who didn't know what to expect from them. The singer was constantly in your face and with a bass player that looked like pro wres- tler the Undertaker, it was very in- tense. The culmination of smoke and furious lights accented the music giving the whole room a gloomy over- tone. The music was mixed well and Priapism drummer Nance was very pleased with the total sound.

Senior forward Anton Gill led the wav for the Pirates with 24 points on 8-of-ll shooting from the field. The win runs ECU's record to 9-5 overall, but they are 0-2 in confer- ence play after last Saturday's over- time loss to James Madison and an early loss to William & Mary. "It's hard to say how long it would have taken us in the past to come back from a loss like that Gill said. "This is definitely a different team. Everybody was ready to play. We were focused and did what we had to do ECU led by close margins for most of the half before going on a 9-1 run to go in to the locker room up 49-38 at the break. Small forward Tim Basham hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to add to the Pirates' momen- tum. ECU shot 66.7 percent before the intermission. In the second half, ECU went on a 18-3 run to put any hopes of Campbell's winning this game to rest. Skipp Schaefbauer's three-pointer with 16:08 remaining put ECU up 58- 40. Campbell would never get any closer than 14 the rest of the ball game. "East Carolina was just hitting everything in sight Lee said. "We had a 40-point swing in the wrong di- rection from the last time we played. They just shot the lights out. When the game turned up tempo, it hurt us. We just don't have the type of ath- letes to stay with them in that type of game ECU got hot outside shooting from forward Tim Basham and fresh- man point guard Tony Parham. They combined for 7 of 12 shooting from behind the 3-point arc. Parham con- tributed 10 points for the Pirates cause. Pirate underrated power for- ward Chuckie Robinson continues to shine, scoring 20 points on 8 of 9 shooting. Robinson dominated the paint and had several dunks that got the crowd on their feet. Skipp Schaefbauer (15 points) is steadily coming out of his shooting slump and hit 60 percent (3-5) from 3-point range. ECU got strong play off the bench from freshman guard Othello Meadows. Last year's Mr. Basketball from Nebraska hit eight points in a reserve role. "It has been quite an adjust- ment coming from high school but I am starting to feel comfortable now he said. Vic Hamilton is beginning to become a crowd favorite for his en- thusiasm and hustle off the bench. The junior college transfer is probably the best leaper on the team and is always looking for the follow-up dunk off a Pirate miss. He received a technical foul for too much celebrating after one dunk Monday night, and is getting more and more playing time.

ECU football gains new recruits Aaron Wilson Assistant Sports Editor Recruiting can make or break a football team. The quality of stu- dentathlete that a university at- tracts determines the success of the program. The ECU football pro- gram has to constantly reload its roster with blue-chippers because of the loss of transfers and gradu- ated players. ECU, so far in this off-season, has been highly successful in fill- ing their wishlist of football play- ers. There has been some turnover though, as te Pirates have had two players leave the program. Pirate quarterback Chris Hester, a sophomore from Loganville, Ga. has decided to not re-enroll and has returned home af- ter contemplating a transfer to East Tennessee State. "I just felt I needed a break Hester sJd. "I was burned out in both football and school Tim McKinnon a 6-foot-3, 180- pound defensive back has also left the fold. McKinnon played cornerback for the nationally- ranked Dematha HS "Stags" for Bill Tim McKinnon McGregor, and was named Most Valuable Defensive Player for his team after a senior season in which he had eight interceptions and two fumble recoveries, returning one 93 yards for a touchdown. McKinnon suffered from periodic asthma at- tacks in his short stay at ECU. These health problems, as well as being homesick, compelled him to return to the Washington D.C. area. "I liked playing for ECU he said. "Right now, it is prob; bly best that I spend time with my family East Carolina has three mid- year transfers who will be partici- pating in spring football. Chad Custer, a 6-foot-6. 280- pound defensive tackleend from Salem (HS) Va originally signed with ECU for this year's freshman class but went home after a short stay in Greenville. Custer sat out the first semester, but has rejoined the program and will be on schol- arship and eligible for spring foot- ball. "I had some personal prob- lems that had to be taken care of before I could start school Custer said. In high school. Custer was named his region's defensive player of the year and to Virginia's All- State team after a senior season in which he totaled 89 tackles, 17 sacks, three fumble recoveries and one interception. Other schools that recruited Custer were James Madison. West Virginia and the University of Virginia. "I feel like for us to compete with these bigger Division I teams we have to have bigger players to control the line of scrimmage Custer said.

An activity that is rapidly gain- ing popularity is Innertube Water Polo, played in Christenbury Gym Pool between teams of six players. Divisions of competition include Women's, Sorority, Fraternity (Gold and Purple), Men's (Gold and Purple) and the new Co-Rec league. Gold leagues are for advanced competition and teams who possess higher skill and wish to play at an advanced level of competition, while Purple leagues are designed for more recreational play. Teams will all play a regular season followed by a single elimina- tion tournament within each division leading to the All-Campus Champion- ships. A number of participants from last year requested the Co-Rec divi- sion, and this will be added to pro- vide an additional twist to the GET WET AND WILD theme of this year's program. Almost 350 people participated on the 43 teams in last year's pro- grams. Phi Tau A captured both the All-Campus and Fraternitv Gold titles, while Sigma Phi Epsilon B and the Dolphins won the Fraternity Purple and Men's Gold Divisions, respectively. While the Phi Tau dynasty dominated last season, rumor has it that gradua- tion took a heavy toll on their roster, opening up the field for a host of chal- lengers. In the women's division, Zeta Tau Alpha, captained by Tina LaMarca, won both the Sorority and Women's All-Campus Championships. Their strongest competition was pro- vided by the Women's Gold champs from Gamma Sigma Sigma. The registration meeting for team captains interested in entering a tc?m in the 1995 water polo pro- gram will be held on Tuesday. Jan. 24 at 5 p.m. in Biology 103. Individuals who do not have teams are invited to attend so that attempts can be made to provide placement. Participation in thii. program is at no cost.

During his first two years of collegiate basketball at Spartanburg (S.C.) Methodist Col- lege (SMC), the 6-foot-8 junior was a part of a Pioneers team that racked up a 50-10 two-year record. In both years, the Pioneers won their conference championship and went on to the national JUCO fi- nals. "I played at SMC with two of the top players in college right now - James Scott, who is at St. John's right now, and Andy Bostic who s at South Carolina Hamilton said. "Both of them had outstand- ing years last season SMC head basketball coach Scott Rigot once coached with Pi- rate head coach Eddie Payne at South Carolina, so Rigot began to steer Hamilton toward ECU. "Rigot said this would be a good school for me Hamilton said. "All my life, I've been playing in- side as the post player, and Rigot told me, 'You're just too little to play in the post if you go Division I He knew I had the skills to play outside, because I could shoot the 'J and my ball-handling was pretty good - but it's gotten better, so when coach Payne recruited me, he recruited me at forward and guard, because they knew I could shoot the jumper. I can help them in two ways. "It's an advantage for me Hamilton said. "If I get a little guy on me at the guard spot, I just take him down to the post, because I've played post all my life, and I've still got post moves. I can 'hurt' him in that sense Hamilton had enough confi- dence in the Pirate basketball pro- gram that he began to make prepa- rations to come here, even without a scholarship. "Initially, Vic was going to Vic Hamilton come - we' didn't have a scholar- ship; he's in-state, and he was go- ing to pay his own way Payne said. "He was sold on our program, and liked it, and we liked him. It's just that we didn't have a scholarship. That was the way it was set up "Then, in late July we had a young man transfer former ECU point guard Kareem Richardson, and that opened up a scholarship, so we put Vic on scholarship See HAMILTON page 13 Bryant "just what the doctor ordered" Brain Paiz Staff Writer When head basketball coach Eddie Payne started out on the re- cruiting trail last year he was trying to fill a need of a big body and re- bounding for the Pirates.

What point spread? As the spread kept climbing in Las Vegas, making the 'Niners 20- point favorites over San Diego in the Super Bowl to be played 12 days from now. the San Francisco players stuck to basic footballese.

"In the NFL. anyone can beat you Indeed, the size of the spread, the largest in Super Bowl history, seemed a little ridiculous. Oddsmakers in Vegas attributed it at least in part to the preponder- ance of big names like Steve Young, Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders and the relative obscurity of the Chargers' stars. Many fans outside San Diego might be hard-pressed to name two Chargers besides Junior Seau, Natrone Means and Stan Humphries.

He has been troubled by blood clots in his shoulder, a problem that sidelined him last August when he was 4-1 with a 1.89 ERA for Sioux City. Montreal also had been inter- ested in Boyd. Earlier in the day. the Expos signed Denis Boucher, who pitched briefly for them in 1994, to a minor league contract, and expect him to be present when training camp starts in less than a month. Until Boyd's agreement, no well-known players said they would serve as replacements. No players on strike have committed to cross the picket line. "I just want to play. That's what it's all about Boyd said. I'm going to win. I will get back to the big leagues he said. "When Tim Raines and Frank Tho- mas go north, the Can's going with them Boyd said he chose the White Sox because Chicago general man- ager Ron Schueler told the right- hander he'd get a chance to play in the majors when the strike is settled. "I vvaa really impressed with the man the way he spoke to me Boyd said. "He told me if 1 don't make the club, I'll go to Triple-A. I'll still be in organized ball, and I'll still have a chance to get back. That's all I want Boyd's best season was 1986. when he went 16-10 for the AL champion Red Sox. He was 1-1 in the playoffs against California and 0-1 in the World Series against the New York Mets. Boyd was set to pitch Game 7 of the 1986 World Series, but a rainout led manager John McNamara to bump Boyd and in- stead start Bruce Hurst. Boyd was upset by the decision and cried when he learned of it. Boyd often showed his emo- tions, on the field and off. He pumped his fist on the mound, ran to the dugout and fired up his team- mates - and angered opposing teams - with his antics. TRANSFERfromp.il Sports- writer's today at 4:30 Travis Darden from nearby Bertie HS has joined the program after fulfilling academic require- ments at Hargrave Military Acad- ei in Chatham, Va. Darden stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 240 pounds. He was a star tailback at Bertie, rushing for over 1,500 yards his senior year, but will play inside linebacker or defensive end here at ECU. He is an outstand- ing physical specimen who bench presses nearly 400 pounds and runs a 4.6 40-yard dash. Steven Jones, an offensive lineman from Nassau CC in New York, was scheduled to enroll at East Carolina, but his credits didn't transfer, so he will attend South- ern Illinois University. ECU also has several other verbal commitments from prospects for the February 21st national sign- ing date. Rick Kimble, the manag- ing editor for Blue Chip Illustrated, has the Pirate recruiting class rated just out of his Top 40 classes. If ECU continues to recruit well, they have a legitimate shot at finishing in my Top 30 or 40 schools Kimble said. "They are right on the cuff with the players they are involved with, right below Missouri and Virginia Tech. North Carolina. N.C. State. Duke and South Carolina are all having great recruiting years Local recruiting has paid big dividends for the Pirates. Troy Smith, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound wide receiver with 4.5 speed from Greenville Rose, has committed to ECU. Smith is a consensus All- American who was. and is. being heavily recruited by Notre Dame. Texas, South Carolina, and Virginia. Word is the Fighting Irish have not backed off on Smith despite his ver- bal commitment to ECU. Two of Smith's teammates, Kevin Monroe and Teto Simpson, are also considering ECU. Monroe a 6-foot-1. 185-pound cornerback safety with 4.4 speed, has commit- ted to ECU. Simpson is an out- standing pass rusher who can put a lot of heat on the quarterback. He is still undecided. Tennessee and North Caro- lina are still very much in the pic- ture with Simpson. "If they get the Simpson kid and Smith, this will be one of ECU'S best recruiting classes ever Kimble said. "Those two kids are big time Orlando Peterson, a 6-foot-3 235-pound JUCO All-American from Hutchinson JC, has also committed to ECU. He chose ECU over Ne- braska. Peterson played his high school football at nearby Ayden- Grifton HS. "He has all the tools to be a great player Kimble said. "He has the size, strength and speed to dominate. He has 4.6 speed Big offensive lineman Dameon Davis, a 6-foot, 310-pound guardtackle from Greenville, SC's Berea HS, chose ECU over North Carolina. Clemson, Arkansas and Georgia. Another South Carolinian has committed as well. Forrest Foster, a 5-foot-10. 165-pound cornerback from Clemson. SC's Daniel HS. chose ECU over N.C. State. Wake Forest and Western Carolina. Npuma Masimini may be ECU's best recruit. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive tackle from Washington D.Cs Woodrow Wilson HS, was selected to the Washing- ton Post's All-Metropolitan Team after making 85 tackles and 14 sacks. He has also been named to several HS All-American teams and was recruited by Colorado, Wiscon- sin, Illinois and Syracuse. i would be surprised if he didn't play offensive line at ECU Kimble said. "He has pretty good feet. If this guy signs with ECU. then it is the real deal. He is a great, great player "I'm very happy with my de- cision to attend East Carolina Masimini said at Saturday's JMU basketball game. "This is a family type atmosphere, and I think 1 can play right away Cuncho Brown, a 6-foot-4, 25(-pound tight end from Winston Salem's Parkland HS. is scheduled to visit ECU soon. He is rated the No.l player in North Carolina and the No. 2 tight end nationally. Brown played at the same high school as current Pirate DB and special teams star E.J. Gunthrope. Rico McCain a 6-foot-4 225- pound linebacker with 4.6 speed from Providence HS in Charlotte. NC has committed to North Caro- lina after originally considering ECU. "They look like they will be competitive with the top teams on the east coast Kimble said. "The whole idea is to move your program to a different level. Nationwide, it is just the story of the rich getting richer. Notre Dame. Florida. FSU. Tennessee. Texas A&M. Ohio St Auburn, Nebraska, and Southern Cal make up my Top 10, but it is very close. From where ECU is at. the bottom of the Top 40 to the Top 10 is just a difference of a few play- ers.
