"Ten people make up the var- sity squad said Lynn Caverly. Uni- versity Union's assistant director for student activities. "They will get together and from them we will nominate a team of five people to represent ECU at the regional competition sponsored by the Association of College Unions International Caverly said. The format for the campus College Bowl was a 12-team, double- elimination format. With participant turnout for the bowl was up from last year, organizers are hoping to expand next year's format. "We had a really good turn- out from the residence halls this year, and we are looking at expand- ing the program next year and maybe doing two round robin leagues with the top two teams from each league participating in a double-elimination playoff, so the teams can play more often because that's what they really like to do Caverly said. ECU will get the chance to play, plenty. The regional tournament in Knoxville will showcase 20 teams from colleges and universities from N.C S.C Kentucky and Tennessee. The winner of the regional tourna- ment will then go to the national competition to be held in April. Three years ago the ECU College Bowl Team finished third in the regionals knocking off such powerhouses as Duke. NC State, Carolina, the Uni- versity of Kentucky and Vanderbilt. "It would be nice if more stu- dents came out to help us said Se- nior History major Brian Hall, a mem- ber of that third place team. "We have the ability to compete with those other schools. "When we played Vanderbilt that year, I overheard a guy say that ECU would be an 'easy victory a lot of people believe ECU is just a party school, so it was very nice when we beat Vanderbilt in the first round, it was nice to sick it to them said Hall. Formerly known as the G.E. College Bowl in the '60s, the bowl was televised after the Saturday af- ternoon college football games. In- terest in the College Bowl declined after G.E. dropped its sponsorship of the event but has risen in the past decade.

"Initially, the possibility of be- ing under scholarship brought me to the ROTC, but now it's a way to make trends, find out about the Air Force, and I may make a career of it said AS 100 James Crouch, who is in his second semester with the corps. Beyond training and classes, there are trips, parties and formal functions. For example, this semes- ter there will be a military ball on April 8. a field training mini camp on March 31 through April 2. the national awards ceremony on April 13 and a trip to Washington D.C. March 9 through March 12. While ir Washington D.C. ca- dets will tour the White House and the Pentagon. They will be staying at Boiling Air Force Base and will observe Air Force officers in their daily work environments in order to get a real sense of what the Air Force is all about. Students may wonder where the money comes from to fund these activities. At least in part, the money comes from the cadets themselves and from work they do on campus. The remainder is funded by the United States Air Force. "To earn money for AFROTC functions, instead of doing carwashes or that knid of fundraiser, we are the ushers at basketball games and at the theatre in Mendenhall Craves said. Cadets sign up for the hours they want to work, but if they fail to show-up during that time, they are fined $50. The AFROTC gives students a chance to see Air Force life from the deciding, but I like it more and more inside before they make a every day I'm here, and I get closer committment. and closer to deciding to join "I am still in the process of Crouch said.

Thursday, February 2, 1995 The East Carolinian Our View ?MA ?? ? ? ?? -?- . ????? IT'S PICK AN OPINION TIME! A. Hey! Check it out! Studying is the latest thing! And difficult classes! Yes, they are so cool. B. And, like, sometimes you learn something. That is, if you, like, study or something. C. Pass the drop sheet, pal. We're outta here if the word 'paper' is even uttered. If you're reading this, you're probably either a student, a faculty member or a staff member at ECU. With this common bond, The East Carolinian would like to hit a nerve with a lot of you. LAZINESS! It's everywhere, and no one seems to be able to stop it! Granted, we acknowledge the hard-working individuals dili- gently studying in the library (or trying to - what is that ruckus, anyway?) each day, those who appear 15 minutes before class to get in a little review time, and those who pull all-nighters even though they've consistently kept up with all reading as- signments, homework, etc. All two of you. Today, however, we would like to address the 50 bazillion others who have nightmares about ever carrying out such hor- rible actions. Now, we're all procrastinators at some point. And not all of us are that bad, but we're sick of the ones who are! Take a challenging class, for example. There are so many people at this school who would love that diploma, but want it for free. As in, no tests - oral quizzes if necessary, please - a one-and-a-half page final paper, and free snacks between lecture issues. Frequently, we who actually are here to learn, must lis- ten to "God, Dr. So-and-So is su-u-uch a tyrant! I mean, he actu- ally made us WRITE A PAPER Or, "I know, Dr. Such-and-Such is just irrational. I had to study a whole two hours for her test, and I still flunked Come on, people! And you know who you are! Hang your heads, get a clue and grow up! Some of us want a challenge, and find those classes that make us study like heck extremely fascinating. Of course, there are exceptions. (Refer to previous article on 'D' and 'F' classes.) We certainly don't want to have to pass a test that Chancellor Eakin might even have problems with, but the occasional "Sheesh. I must study all night or I will certainly fail like no one has ever failed before" class can be exciting. Think about it. An excuse to order pizza at crazy hours. A reason to call home and moan about your tireless efforts and aching brains (This gets a great response, too. Parents have been known to purchase new cars for sons and daughters who call home and sound like they're studying endlessly. Plus the call gives you a great reason to procrastinate.). Then there are the people who start a hate organization against any professor who has the nerve to bring some life into a class. Like forcing class participation. Whoa. Tough one. Or trying a new teaching tactic, foolishly under the impression that "Change is good, change is good All we're saying is that perhaps some people could stop complaining and start listening. The hardest classes often turn out to be the ones you quote from during late-night conversa- tions that require some exhibition of intellect. And calm down, all of you who want to write letters to TEC's staff labeling us goody-two-shoes, etc. We're far from it, but we are an ambitious group. In fact, our ambition allowed us this consensus opinion. Those on the staff who disagreed can be found somewhere in one of ECU's beautiful construction swamps. We like ordering pizza at ridiculous hours just like the next guy. We actually excel at the process. But we don't insist that the pizza be delivered during class, between lecture subjects.

Ladies deserve fans, too Well here we are again fellow Pirate fans. Smack dab in the middle of another season of colle- giate hoops. On any given weekend we have the privilege of heading over to Williams Arena and catch- ing a glimpse of Skip Schaefbaur sinking a three or Chuckie Robinson slamming one home. No one can argue the fact that the men are amazing to watch, but I have a sur- prise for all of you. We also have a women's team that plays in Minges Coliseum. We, as a university, seem con- tent to rally behind the men's team in vast numbers while at the same time hardly acknowledging that the Lady Pirates exist. A perfect ex- ample of this is the Perfect Pirate Fan contest that is going on now. This contest attempts to fill the seats of the newly renovated Will- iams Arena by promising students a chance to win a spring break trip for two to Panama City. The only eligibility requirement is that you attend select games at the new arena, and present your I.D. at a spe- cial table. Ahh! This is where it gets interesting. In order to be a "Perfect" Pirate Fan, you have to at- tend twelve of the men's games but are only asked to attend two of the women's contests. The rules of this contest insinuate that watching the Calvin Arlington Opinion Columnist What's this? You're only perfect if you support the men's basketball team? men battle it out on the hardwood is much more crucial to obtaining that "perfect" fan status than sup- porting the ladies in their athletic endeavors. Who's to blame for this flagrantly biased promotion? At first , visions of a polyester clad adminis- trative chauvinist may come to mind. However if one looks further, it is we the fans that are to blame for the inequality of the contest. Over and over again we pile into the coliseum and show our sup- port for the men. On the other hand, a relatively minuscule number of fans come out and cheer on the ladies. Excluding the double header on January 6, the women's audience has averaged only 296 fans. The men however have commanded au- diences in excess of 6000 through- out the season thus far. These num- bers clearly show that we as a stu- dent body refuse to recognize the Lady Pirates as the accomplished athletes that they are. No, you probably won't see a female Buccaneer hanging from the rim anytime soon. But that is be- cause women's basketball is, in some respects, a different game alto- gether. Sure they don't have the dunk, but they create in its absence a more pure version of the game that is rooted in the fundamentals of the sport. Why, you may ask, did I bother to bring all this up? Because we as a student body need to give these ladies the recognition they so de- serve. The women who make up our Lady Pirates team have made the same sacrifices as their male coun- terparts. They practice long hours and travel many miles in order to play the game. These women have given themselves to the game and to their school. For that we owe them some thanks. If we really want to be "per- fect" Pirate fans, we should give the women the same support as we do the men. Our ladies should be able to take to their home floor in front of an ocean of screaming Purple and Gold fans. Or have we the students reserved that privilege only for the guys? My hat is off to you ladies. Race should not be issue Many people seem to think term limit will clean up our government Some even want us to believe these limits will make all of our government's problems go away. How- ever, nothing could be farther from the truth. The problem with our govern- ment is the power money exerts in our political system. Sure, term lim- its may not be bad. They may even make things marginally better - but they are not the panacea their propo- nents tout them to be. Term limits do not attack the fundamental problem in Washington or Raleigh. My preacher used to say that money is the root of all evil. I believe he was right Money and the influence of spe- cial interests are the root jroblems in Washington. The very nai ure of our political system encourages politicians to prostitute themselves for money To give an example, let's say I am running for Congress. It costs money to get my message out to the people. I couldn't expect people to vote for me unless they know who I am and where I'm coming from. I would have to go spend large sums of money for television, radio, and newspaper ads. I would have to spend massive amounts of money to Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist Forget term limits, let's keep an eye on the money that gets passed around get elected, particularly if I'm running against a well known incumbent. Henry Aldridge, the newly elected state representative for Pitt County, spent over $50,000 to be elected to a job that only pays thir- teen thousand. His opponent Charles McLawhorn spent over thirty thou- sand. Politicians usually have to spend large amounts of money to get elected or reelected. Some of the money comes from die-hard Republi- can or Democratic contributors. How- ever, a lot of the money comes from those who, simply want to gain access or influence. One of the most powerful tools lobbyists have is the ability to infuse large amounts of cash into the politi- cal campaigns of people who vote their way. It is not good that politi- cians can gain thousands of dollars for their political war chests if they vote the way a special interest with money wants them to. Traditionally, the largest edge incumbents have, is the ability to build a large campaign war chest If we want to make the playing field level, we must address campaign financing. Most term limit options cur- rently being discussed will allow leg- islators in Raleigh or Washington to run for at least twelve more years. In other words, a state legislator could run for reelection five times, and then run for state senate and congress five or six times apiece. Term limits will not stop politi- cians from cow-towing to those who have the money to finance their next campaign. Michael Kinsley recently said voters wanting term limits were sim- ply saying, "Stop me before I vote again If we truly want to change our political system, we should start with campaign finance reform. Otherwise, we may have new faces in government, but the same old problems. I wish 1 could say I had no prob- lem with African-American History Month, but doing so would be dishon- est. It does indeed bother me. I'm not offended by the idea of recognizing the efforts of others. Far from it Anytime nowadays that we can acknowledge the beneficial works of others instead of rummaging through their affairs, scandals or shortcom- ings, we should. Anytime we can praise effort, persistence and hard work, we must And anytimeNve can underscore the importance and inspi- ration of the examples of individuals overcoming great obstacles and dis- advantages and make a contribution to society, we need to. And that is what African-Ameri- can History is for. However. I believe it's wrong to emphasize the color of one's skin in recognizing his or her accomplishments, and that also is what African-American History Month is for. In 1987, when Reverend Jesse Jackson was campaigning to be the Democratic candidate for President, he spoke to the assembled students of my high school in Spartanburg, S.C. In a school in which drug abuse of all kinds were prevalent and the country was in the midst of "Just Say Noisms, Jackson sought to inspire the students to believe in themselves without the habitual dependence of recreational drugs (and, of course, trying to sway Dixiecrat support through the chil- dren of registered voters). His message was one of recog- nizing the potential of all people, in all endeavors, in every level of our society. It was a . ean to open- mindedness and possibility, a message even then I realized he was relying on in order to successfully run for President. But it came across as sin- cere and, seven years later, I remem- Gegory Dickens General Manager Black History Month is detrimental to the cause of united people ber that speech and I remember how I enthusiastic I felt afterward. While I realize that events such as African-American History Month is designed to educate everyone and encourage them to strive, by empha- sizing one ethnic group, all other groups are alienated. And while I don't think the act of acknowledgment dis- courages those who aren't being given the spotlight, to say that the accom- plishments of any people are made more significant by their skn color is tantamount to disavowing the efforts of others because of the same crite- rion. The rationale for the February celebrations, as I understand it is to enlighten others as to the efforts of people who began under great disad- vantages in all areas of society only to make significant contributions to that same society. The common ele- ment of those hailed during this month is that they were under duress because they were black. The reason this is so emphasized is to demon- strate that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves and that color should no more be a deterrent than the number of one's teeth. Moreover, their common point is important to a society in which "separate but equal" was considered unconstitutional only 30 years ago. In other words, by show- ing everybody what any body can do when given a chance, hopefully eth- nic prejudice, and bias in general, can be eliminated. It is done to make America stronger. Again, anytime we can do that, I'm all for it But I believe that em- phasizing one group is detrimental to the cause of a united people, and by ; people I mean "country I contend that it's important to show everyone what anyone can do by showing what I everyone who has achieved has done. ? Yes, Carver, DuBois and Little ; were great people, but what of eery- ? one else who has overcome great. odds? What of the scientists, writers, 1 inventors, and teachers of this coun- . try who aren't mentioned and eel- - ebrated because they aren't black? Or ? white? In a country suddenly popu- J lated by hyphenated groups, we can- j not deny diversity as was tried at tempted before. Even if we wanted to it just isn't possible where so many different media present so many dif- J ferent points of view and messages. J In those messages lie the heart of the oft-scoffed idea of our country ! as a "great melting pot" And to spot- ? light any group over another is to; undermine those trying to get their J message across.

That everybody wants to be; free at last Let us revere those who. seek it no matter what color they are Or aren't And let me be the first to sug- ? gest an "American History Month" so everyone in this society has a stake' in the lessons to be learned.

In a scene from his very own comic book series, The Simpsons' Krusty the Clown attempts to stop his pet chimp, Mr. Teeny, from stealing his limousine. The Simpsons rule TV Caustic humor wins praise for the animated family Thumbs down BHMHHi Thumbs up Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Ike Shibley Staff Writer Jennifer Coleman Staff Writer One friend of mine has seen Legends of the Fall twice already. She claims that she cannot remember the last time she cried so hard at a film. After the show I saw a group of girls ahead of me wiping their eyes and talking about how sad the story was. The emotional response of these viewers leaves me puzzled because this film offers nothing more than what can be seen on any daytime soap opera. Legends of the Fall tells the sordid tale of a family in conflict because of a woman. Three brothers, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), Tristan (Brad Pitt) and Samuel (Henry Thomas) Ludlow all wish to curry the favor of Susannah (Julia Ormond), who comes to the Ludlow ranch in Mon- tana as the fiancee of Samuel. Soon World War I breaks out and the brothers enlist to aid the British in their fight against Germany. Tristan returns from the war to fall in love with Susannah, who never marries Samuel. Later Tristan leaves the ranch for a sailing voyage, and Susannah agrees to marry Alfred. The patriarch of the family, Colonel Ludlow (An- : thony Hopkins), remains at home while the brothers each seek out a life for themselves. Colonel Ludlow had quit the army when he saw how ignominiousry the military treated the American Indian. The Colonel objects to his boys going to war but can do little to stop them. He objects to many of the decisions made by his sons but seems powerless to change them. He is an ineffectual father and a rather cold-hearted man. Many subplots play out in the story, along with the main theme of a woman splitting apart the family. None of the subplots further the development of any of the characters but serve only to add needless complex- ity to an otherwise simplistic story. The decision to set Legends of the Fall in the lovely beauty of the Montana may have been only to give Tristan a setting to develop his wild nature. The scenery serves little more than a backdrop to the overwrought melo- drama happening within the family. Unlike importance of nature to A River Runs Through It (which also starred Pitt), the characters in Legends of the Fall seem im- mune to the majestic splendor of the place in which they live. The relationship of the Ludlow brothers occurs only in soap operas and Harlequin romances. No real bond gets developed. The film substitutes deep under- standing with horse play between grown brothers. The shallowness of the love between the brothers is mirrored by the shallowness of the story. The story itself seems designed for convenient his- trionics. Why, for example, do none of the other broth- ers ever interact with another female (save one shot of Tristan with a woman assumed to be a prostitute)? Why does Susannah opt to marry Alfred when abandoned by Tristan? She must have had friends back on the East coast and she had already admitted to not loving Alfred. Why did Alfred even love her? The unanswered ques- tions arise because of a shallow plot. The acting in Legends of the Fall falls well short of emotional. Anthony Hopkins gets wasted in his pater- nal role. He occasionally shouts as a substitute for act- ing. Aidan Quinn and Henry Thomas seem to have no connection to their roles and consequently bring noth- ing to them. Brad Pitt tries hard to bring the wild, un- tamed nature of Tristan to life but succeeds only in preen- ing for the camera in a glamorous role designed to make women swoon. Pitt does a much more credible job of playing a wayward brother who few people understand in A River Runs Through It. Julia Ormond seems con- tent to allow pained expressions and tears constitute acting. She allows none of the conflicts troubling her soul to gain expression. Her character becomes a pos- session only, one that is desired by all three brothers. The brothers could have been fighting over a beautiful horse for as much emotion as Ormond invests in her role. The staging of Legends of the Fall also falls short of acceptable. The World War I scenes are especially bad. In a pivotal scene between Samuel and Tristan, German officers pop up at random in the midst of a deserted battlefield and then disappear again so that Tristan can have plenty of room to vent his emotions. The town of Helena, where Alfred eventually lives, looks like it was slapped together for an old-time celebration in the com- munity. Little realism exists in any set, giving even more evidence that this film should have been a TV miniseries. Usually a film's title can help deepen the under- standing of the events within the film. Legends of the Fall inadequately describes the motivation within the story. None of the characters could be called legendary. Brothers or Montana or some other appropriately See DOWN page 8 Legends of the Fall is a story of love: between men and women, between fathers and sons, between brothers and between friends. It is also about the com- plexity of that love and how it can turn joy into de- spair in less than a heartbeat. But most impo.tantly. Legends of the Fall is about the rise, and yes, the fall of a family torn apart by circumstances beyond their control. The story centers around Tristan Ludlow (Brad Pitt), one of three sons born to Colonel William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Isabel. Tristan, along with his older brother Alfred (Aidan Quinn) and his younger brother Samuel (Henry Thomas), live with their father in Montana. The boys' mother returned to the city while they were still children to escape the harsh winters and the even harsher responsibilities of being a wife and a mother. Running away from responsibility is one of the many themes in this complex film. The screenplay is extremely active; however, it does not fall into the "too much action, not enough plot" trap that many movies do. It can perhaps be said that there is too much plot, rather than a lack of twists and turns, that tosses the Ludlow family into a sea of impossible choices. A few people 1 spoke with found it difficult to follow and I agree that a second viewing may be in order. How- ever, many great movies, such as the acclaimed Schindler's List and JFK. require concentration to be completely understood. Rather than take away from Legends of the Fall, this quality makes it a treat to watch. Legends of the Fall is wonderfully written, acted and directed. The characters are real and alive, thanks to both the dedication of the actors and to director Edward Zwick. Brad Pitt portrays the wild Tristan with clarity and true emotional expression. One of the more moving scenes in the film, Samuel's death scene, was handled exceptionally well by both Pitt and Thomas. The extreme loss Tristan feels at his brother's death was expressed without being overly melodramatic as many actors tend to do. Anthony Hopkins deserves much praise for his portrayal of Colonel Ludlow. This role was especially demanding, because the Colonel spends the latter half of the movie partially paralyzed from a stroke. Hopkins allows Ludlow's inner strength to remain even after the stroke. His genuine concern and love for his sons conflicts with his strict military training to provide an interesting and moving emotional struggle as he tries to raise his sons alone. I found the performances of Quinn and Thomas extremely interesting. They, along with Pitt, were ex- tremely believable as brothers. I especially enjoyed the scenes before the war when the brothers became re- acquainted. The horseplay and frank conversations re- minded me of my own family, and the joking was good- natured and taken in stride. Julia Ormand, who por- trayed Susannah, the woman who comes between the brothers, was also very good in her role. I would have liked to see her establish the relationship with Samuel better, however. I could easily believe her love for Tristan but had a somewhat harder time understand- ing her relationship with Samuel. There are a few unanswered questions raised in Legends of the Fall. In the beginning of the film, the sheriff comes to the Ludlow ranch in search of a man named Tom Cullen. It is never explained who Cullen was or why the sheriff wanted him. It is taken for granted that this was included in the film to give Colo- nel Ludlow a chance to show that he is no longer coop- erative in any way towards the government or the mili- tary. However, I believe this was already established and the entrance of Cullen into the script simply left me wondering. Also, I believe Tristan's departure for war was slightly contrived; while both Alfred and Samuel express avid political interests, Tristan never shows even a passing interest in the war. He enlists to "take care of Samuel which seems just a bit trite. None of these minor problems takes away from the overall beauty of the film. Despite its complexity, I found it surprisingly easy to follow. I felt that the ma- jority of the relationships were well-defined, although I would have liked to see more of the relationship be- tween Samuel and Susannah. I do applaud the writer for not bowing to the traditional "happy ending" re- quirement that runs rampant in too many of today's movies. Writers who feel that everything must have a storybook ending usually end up with an impossibly overdone story. That is not the case with Legends of the Fall, which, although sad. ends remarkably well. Legends of the Fall is a wonderful film. Out of 10 stars, it rates a 9. The Simpsons may well be the best show in the history of Ameri- can television. At the very least, it's in the top 10. I don't make this claim lightly, or without a fairly intimate knowledge of the 40 years of TV that precede the show. Certainly, The Simpsons doesn't have the heart of a show like MASH or the mind-bursting dramatic potential of The Twilight Zone. But then, it's not supposed to. The Simpsons is that rarest of all network TV animals, a social satire. Chronicling the animated ad- ventures of the Simpson family, the show is the creation of Matt Greening, whose comic strip "Life in Hell" runs in alternative press newspapers across the country. The Simpsons trades in taking nasty shots at such American institutions as Christianity, the elderly and femi- nism. There are no sacred cows here, no matter which side of the political fence they graze on. Rest assured, this is not stan- dard TV fare. Enslaved as it gener- ally is to the moral interests of a few rabid televangelists and a gaggle of blue-haired old ladies from Ann Arbor, Michigan, network television seldom rises above the level of that simpering vehicle for the troll-doll-like Olson twins, Full House. Thankfully, The Simpsons is the rare exception. Set in the fictional commu- nity of Springfield (an ail-American town if ever there was one), The Simpsons puts all of the nation's foibles on ugly display. The police are donut-swilling incompetents. The mayor is a corrupt parody of Ted Kennedy. Beer is a drug used to keep the populace docile. Repub- licans are evil manipulators, inter- ested only in making themselves richer. Democrats are less evil but totally incapable of governing. The Simpsons themselves are the nuclear family gone horribly wrong, dysfunctional to the core. As Homer Simpson himself would say, "It's funny 'cause it's true It's that truthfulness (cynical as it may be) that rubs some people the wrong way. The Fox Network reportedly gets over a hundred let- ters and phone calls every week complaining about the show. Much to its credit, however, Fox mostly ignores the complaints. The Simpsons was one of the network's first big hits, and the execs leave it alone. So the American public is treated every week to another manic outing. And manic it is. The jokes come fast and hard on this show; it's not unusual for me to spend five full minutes laughing. Most TV comedies can barely mus- ter up enough humor to give me even one giggle in that time, but The Simpsons barrels along like a rocket. Even still, the humor never works to the detriment of the story, or even, most amazingly, the devel- opment of the characters. This is a show with a sense of history, and we're occasionally given glimpses into the past that round out even the most stereotypical characters. So we know, for example, that Homer's alcoholic friend Barney wouldn't be the drunken sod he is See SIMPSONS page 8 Reviews Big Chief Platinum Jive Christina Pokrzewinski Staff Writer Hey kids, do you like that zany new rock and roll? Well, the newest phase of rock and roll for the '90s is here, and it's Platinum. Platinum Jive that is, the 16-track debut album of the retro-rock band Big Chief. The album has a little some- thing for everyone with a mixture of sounds ranging from teeny bopper alternative to rap and back a couple of decades to an almost Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd sound. Almost. Regardless of who Big Chief's influences may be, the band has meshed them all in a new sound experience that is, without a doubt, all their own. The album starts off strong with "Lion's Mouth" and "Takeover Baby Both songs have a pseudo- Red Hot Chili Peppers bassline and throbbing drum beats. Barry Henssler's grating voice detracts somewhat from the intensity of the music, but the lyrical content of the songs overshadows his shortcom- ings, g "John's Scared" is also a great song that utilizes the Floydian space intro and bass sound com- bined with impressively organized guitar distortion that Henssler can actually compete with. "Armed Love" kicks a bit harder than the earlier cuts with surging guitars and a dangerous bassline that is vaguely reminiscent of Metallica before they hit their tal- ent peak in the '80s. Every real band in history has had a "love sucks" song, and for Big Chief "Armed Love" is that song. "All Downhill From Here" is the closest thing to standard rock and roll on the album. The song has a bluesy bassline and a pleasantly steady beat, not to mention an ap- pearance from the most cliched in- strument from the '70s - the dreaded Partridge Family tambou- rine. The song's lyrics are nearly meaningful: "I knew the truth but I misplaced it, I had a mind but I slowly erased it" are common sen- timents among many people these days. The best song on the album as far as musical content is con- cerned is "The Liquor Talkin a mellow, easygoing drinking song that is just, well, damn funny. There are only three abso- lutely terrible songs on the album. "Map Of Your Failure" is a dron- ing, repetitious track that neither musically nor lyrically goes any- where worth going. The song is dull and tries to be cutting edge too hard to be good. "Bona Fide sung by a char- acter who calls himself Schooly D, is a gangsta rap wannabe tune, com- plete with inane sexual references and lame word choices common to the anything-for-a-rhyme syndrome. The song is hopelessly lost on an otherwise listenable album. The third dud on Platinum Jive, "Philly Nocturne is not even a song. It is 31 seconds of static, guitar and acoustic bass, not to mention a complete waste of noise. With only three out of 16 songs that are weak. Platinum Jive promises to be a favorite of the new rockers and old rockers alike. Wait, there is a bonus to Platinum Jive - one of those sneaky hidden songs at the end of the CD.

There's too much going on; the satire is too deliciously vicious, to do justice to it all.

Monarchs top ECU 69-66 Dave Pond Sports Editor Photo by HAROLD WISE Chuckle Robinson, shown against Coastal Carolina, has played big in the paint for Coach Payne this season. "Petey is our horse Old Domin- ion head coach Jeff Capel said about guard Petey Sessoms after Tuesday- night's 69-66 victory over the Pirates. "We're going to saddle him up and ride him until he drops Ride em' cowboy. Sessoms scorched ECU (13-7,34 CAA) for 26 points, 19 in the second half, as the Monarchs (12-8,7-0 CAA) slipped by the Pirates 696 Tuesday night in Norfolk to keep their conference record perfect after seven games. Sloppy passing marred ECU'S game early on, but they steadily con- verted on first-half shooting fouls to keep the game from getting away from them. The Pirates would find themselves off- balance virtually all night as ODU con- stantly played in and out of a full-court press, leading to 19 Pirate turnovers. "We got too many unforced turn- overs Payne said. "You can't do that against a good team and expect to win By hitting free throws, ECU stayed closely behind the Monarchs for most of the first half until senior forward Chuckle Robinson put back an errant Pirate shot at the halftime buzzer to tie the score at 35.

Football recruits sign on See ODU page 10 Quality recruits sign letters-of-intent to play for ECU Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Feb. 1st is the first day that high school, junior college and prep school football players can sign their letters of intent verifying their college choices. East Carolina did extremely well this off-season recruiting bigger linemen on both sides of the football while im- proving their team speed at the skill po- "Mr. Minnesota" stars for Pirates Aaron Wilson Staff Writer In time, Skipp Schaefbauer, a 6-foot-4. 200-pound sophomore guard from Elk River, Minn. (HS) may become one of the best all- around guards to play at ECU. Minnesota's 1992-93 "Mr. Bas- ketball" made the CAA All-Rookie team last year after averaging 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Unimpressive numbers at first glance, but his playing time was limited due to being behind All-CAA guard Lester Lyons. He flashed ath- letic ability that the Pirates have sel- dom had to go with such a big guard. Schaefbauer has both the highest vertical leap (36.5) and bench press (295) on the squad. He has the ability to rise over defend- ers and dunk the basketball, while raining jumpshots from NBA three- point range. This season, his first as a full- time starter, has seen Schaefbauer average 12.4 points per game, 3.7 rebounds and 4 assists while shoot- ing 30 percent from behind the arc. A big part of the Pirates' suc- cess this season is Schaefbauer, who could score more, but unselfishly gives up the ball to open teammates. ?Taking Lester's place is not easy Schaefbauer said. "Those are some really big shoes to fill. "The strong points of my game is my shooting. I would like to put the ball on the floor more and get to the free throw line more Schaefbauer has consistently drawn fouls by beating opponents with a strong cross-over dribble when they overplay his jump shot. "1 definitely use a lot of dribble moves to get to the basket Schaefbauer said. "Scouts from other schools had me pegged as strictly a catch-it-and shoot-it-type Schaefbauer has a lot of play- ers he has modeled his game after, particularly Indiana Pacers guards' Reggie Miller and Damon Bailey. "Reggie Miller is my favorite pro Schaefbauer said. "He has the purest jumper in the NBA. Bailey is similar to me in size and height. He's a real good shooter and smart player. He know's how to get to the free throw line Schaefbauer was the subject of a lot of recruiting attention af- ter a great senior season playing at Elk River High School. He aver- aged 23.5 points, five rebounds and eight assists per game for the Elks, leading them to a 26-2 record and a third-place finish in the state tour- nament. "I visited Washington State, Wyoming, UNC-Wilmington and ECU Schaefbauer said. "It is kind of a difficult process. I didn't know anyone who had gone through it before. I didn't realize it was such a business, with schools banging down the door one day and then next week decide they like another player more. I'm very happy with the decision I made to attend ECU Making the transition to col- lege has been an easy one for Schaefbauer due to the similar coaching styles of his high school coach and ECU head coach Eddie Payne. Both are strict and disci- plined coaches, according to the Minnesota native, that let each p'ayer know his particular role on the team, while not yelling or screaming at them. In the classroom, the GTE Cosida Academic-All American can- didate has excelled as well. Schaefbauer attributes his aca- demic success to time management and having the self-discipline to study after long hours on the court. "I have decided to go into sports psychology for a masters program Schaefbauer said. "Even- tually, I will probably end up in coaching. I can't see myself doing anything not related to basketball. 1 would like to play in the NBA, and I feel like that is a realistic goal if I continue to improve and become a Jeff Hornacek-type of player As far as team goals, Shaefbauer is shooting for nothing less than first place in the Colonial Athletic Association. Currently, the Pirates are in fourth after losing to Old Dominion on Tuesday night. "I know we are going to play a lot of tough teams Schaefbauer said. "Old Dominion. JMU and Wilmington are really good this year so we are going to have to come together as a team to beat them. Our conference doesn't usu- sitions. "It really is a good group of kids across the board said Ken Treadway, ECU'S new recruiting coordinator. "On paper, it looks very good. We satisfied our needs as far as getting bigger play- ers and good kids at the skill positions. There are about three or four wide bod- ies that have a chance to help us next season. Also, we improved our team speed significantly The "big players" Treadway is re- ferring to include Npumi Masimini, a 6- foot-5, 280-pound All-American out of Washington, D.Cs Woodrow Wilson HS. Masimini had &5 tackles and 14 sacks, and was recruited by Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin and Syracuse. Another D.C. area recruit, Corey Russell from Maryland's Fairmont Heights H.S may contribute early in his ECU career too. Russell was recruited by Rutgers and the University of Pitts- burgh. He stands 6-foot4, weighs 285 pounds and was selected to Lindy's ACC players to watch as well as The Washing- ton Post's All-Metropolitan Team Hon- orable Mention. In the past we have been a little undersized on our defensive line, and it is always a priority for us to get good, big athletes said Cliff Yoshida ECU's defensive line coach and Washington D.C. recruiter "They have got to be able to run - size is really important too, but we have to have quickness and athletic ability on our D-Line.

Schaefbauer's NBA dreams are not far-fetched. This past sum- mer he played in a Pro-Am Summer League in Minneapolis and helped lead his team to the championship. With an exciting style of play that has a combination of ability to drive to the basket and score from long range. NBA scouts may take notice soon of the young Pi- rate shooting guard. It sounds like a plot from a TV series. Junior forward Tomekia "Fruky" Blackmon, a preseason All-CAA pick, starts off last Novem- ber in what should be her best sea- son yet as a basketball player. Within minutes of the opening tip- off of the first exhibition game of the season, she injures her left knee (torn ACL-ligament) and must recu- perate on the Pirate bench for at least two months. More than a drama, this was real life - and it hurt in more ways than one. "Especially when we get our first game against outside compe- tition, and she plays four minutes and gets nine points Lady Pirates head coach Rosie Thompson said. "We were getting our inside game clicking - and all of a sudden, she's out Blackmon watched from the bench as the Lady Pirates went on to win that exhibition game against Croatia, and the next two as they captured the UMBC (University of Maryland - Baltimore County) tour- nament the following weekend. Things went downhill after that, as ECU met up with the UNC's Lady Tarheels, a match which launched an eight-game losing streak for the Lady Pirates. Blackmon rejoined the lineup for the Virginia Commonwealth game January 10th, and though she was not 100 recuperated, she managed to contribute ten points and five rebounds. "To get Fruky back into the lineup, even with a third of an ACL Tomekia "Fruky" Blackmon - it doesn't seem to bother her a bit Thompson said. "I told her. ?You have a lot of guts. You've got to have at least three knee injuries, and you're back out there again, and this one's not even fixed yet "I have a lot of trust in God, and before every game, I say a prayer Blackmon explained. "I s a prayer to the Lord, and by the time I go out on the floor, I don't think about my leg at all Blackmon s had to make some adjustments in her game to accommodate the new injury. "1 was out for two months Blackmon added. "My cardio-vascu- lar system got down. 1 couldn't run for a while, and I'm losing all my conditioning.

The Fast Carolinian ODU from page 9 ODU opened the second half with a 7-0 run that ate over three minutes of the clock. Parham drove to the basket and scored the Pirates' first points of the halfwith just under 17 minutes remain- ing, bringing the Pirates momentarily out of their comatose state. Sessoms and Pirate forward Tim Basham traded quick threes before ECU shooting guard Skipp Schaefbauer cut the lead to 51-50 with two free throws at the 10:46 mark. A steal and Sessoms' second jam of the night forced the Pirates to call a time-out to regroup, down 58-52.

During her years at Greene Central High School in Snow Hill. N.C Blackmon lettered in basket- ball, softball, and volleyball, and was named to the all-conference teams at different times in all three sports. Shunning all of her acco- lades, the inevitable question arises - "Fruky?" "I've had it since I was little Blackmon said of her unusual nick- name. "My grandfather gave it to me. I don't know where he got it from From Greene Central, Blackmon had her choice of several collegiate athletic programs, includ- I ing Campbell University, Howard University and South Carolina. "I didn't want to go too far from home Blzrckmon said. During her first year as a Lady Pirate. Blackmon was redshirted as she recovered from a hand injury. "That was my learning year Blackmon said. "1 learned a lot that year. They had me playing against Tonya Hargrove, '8892 "She was the one who in- spired me Blackmon added. "1 like her style of play: I look up to her. The way she played and talked to me, helped me out when 1 was down The following season, Hargrove had graduated, but Blackmon didn't have the position all to herself just yet. "Toni Thurman '8993 was behind Tonya, and she started Blackmon said, "but 1 was seeing a lot of playing time behind her, and 1 did make the CAA All-Rookie Team. 1 was averaging more points per game than she was, but there were a lot of seniors on the team that year. "I came off the bench and played against girls like Nickie Hilton of George Mason, and they helped me out. Moves that they would make on offense. I would try to make.

One of the more memorable -? moments came for her in the open- j ing exhibition game of the 1993-94 , season. "I went out and played hard, , and I saw that 1 couid play with the big girls Blackmon said. "I think I scored, like, twenty points that game. It was my first real college game Coach Thompson encouraged , Blackmon as she 'came of age' last . year. "And then all of a sudden Th- ? ompson said. "It was. 'Okay Fruky, this is your position. I think she re- ally felt a little more comfortable u having the weight of vying to start t. on everybody else's shoulders Blackmon went on to lead the Lady Pirates last year in both scor- ing (14.2) and rebounding (6.9), and was named the team MVP and a member of the second team AU-CAA. She scored her career-high last sea- son with 27 points against Appala- chian State (3694). So how does one improve on a season like that? "My assigned opponent is . averaging 'so many' points a game Blackmon said. "My goal for each game is to not let her get her scor- f ing average. I got to 'D' her up, I n got to play good defense that game Offensively, though, Blackmon is a team player. ( "I'm not the type of person that has to get the ball and score 'so many' points Blackmon said. "If they come, they come. I like all my teammates to play While Blackmon certainly has enough to keep her busy with bas- ketball, she still looks ahead to graduation. "I want to go into child devel- opment Blackmon explained. "I like working with kids, mainly dis- abled kids, handicapped kids. After I finish college, I might go to get a another degree in therapy "I do a lot of work with Spe- cial Olympics, and I work camps and stuff Blackmon said. "I was around them when I was growing up. My high school softball coach was in- volved in the Special Olympics as the director, and we did a lot with them In closing her comments to The East Carolinian. Blackmon shared her sentiments about atten- dance of women's basketball games. "In high school at Greene Central, a lot of people came to watch the girls play, because we had a winning record, and the guys didn't have a winning .record Blackmon recalledBut now, I see how it is ? now, all the people come see the guys play "I don't know what we'll have to do to get people to come to our games Blackmon said. "I hope people will come and support us in any way they can "We've been trying to impress upon the players that if they give everything they've got, regardless of what the score is, peopl: will come out and watch Thompson said.
