Japanese students travel far to see the land of opportunity Laura Jackman Staff Writer So, you thought leaving home to come to Greenville was difficult? Try leaving from halfway around the world. For three students at ECU, leaving their homes in Japan wasn't difficult, instead it was the opportu- nity of a lifetime. Kenji Fujmaga's hometown is in Hiroshima, but he attended col- lege in Osaka until 1987 and then worked for the next six years for a trading company before coming to America. He is a graduate student here working toward an MBA in busi- ness. "My mother is a kindergarten teacher back home and heard about ECU from a friend Fujrnaga said.

When he decided Greenville was the place he wanted to call home, Edwards went into the auto parts busi- ness with his father. Edwards wrote a newspaper column for The Daily Reflec- torfor five years and attended East Caro- lina College for graduate school. "When I got my master's in busi- ness, they asked me to teach Edwards said.

Grad. school enrollment up Andy Turner Staff Writer Despite overall enrollment de- creases, more older faces are being seen around campus. As of the fall of 1994, graduate student enrollment, including medical students, reached 3,070. According to information in the 1993-94 ECU Fact Book, graduate school enrollment has increased ev- ery fall since 1990. In fall 1990, 2,693 graduate students were enrolled at ECU, 2,807 in fall 1991, 2,913 in fall 1992 and 2,959 in fall 1993. "There has been a steady in- crease over the years from about the '8889 academic years to the '9495 academic year, and we expect that increase to continue in graduate stu- dents said Dr. Therese Uawler, in- terim associate vice chancellor for research and dean of the graduate school. Uawler attributes the increase in graduate school enrollment to sev- eral factors. "I think people are returning to graduate school after being out in the work world to a larger extent than before Uawler said. "We have an in- creasing number of older graduate students who have been out of bacca- laureate programs for 10 to 15 years who realize that they would like to have an area of specialization in which they are current. "They very often are looking for a mid-life career change and coming back to graduate school is one way to enable that Uawler said. "I think we have maybe a constant number of stu- dents who go right from baccalaure- ate t" graduate programs, our in crease is greater in the older gradu- ate students Uawler said she feels the gradu- ate school is improving in overall qual- ity as more programs are being offered for graduate students to pursue. "We are. in fact, hopefully go ing to have three new graduate pro grams that will admit students for the first time next fall she said. 'We have already gotten a masters in anthro- pology approved by the board of gov- ernors and UNC general administra- tion.

Compiled by Tambra Zion. Taken from official ECU police reports. Students could get tax credits Wendy Rountree Staff Writer Tax time. It's approaching and the clock is ticking. Some ECU stu- dents who have jobs may qualify for a new tax break. Initially, the Earned Income Tax Credit. (EITC) was created then passed in Congress in 1975 for people who earn such a low amount of money that they do not owe any income tax to the government. With EITC, people could still claim credit and get a return check. Juanita Broadnax, public af- fairs officer for the district office for the Internal Revenue Service in Greensboro, NC, said the EITC had expanded this year to include more people, ones who are without chil- dren and who are not considered anyone else's dependent "This year if you earned less than $9,000, have no children, are at least 25 to 64 then you can claim this Earned Income Tax Credit Broadnax said. The maximum credit this per- son could receive from the govern- ment would be $306. Other ways to claim EITC are if a person has one child living with him or her for more than six months and earns less than $23, 755 or if a per- son has two or more children and earns less than $25, 296. Broadnax said students are likely to fill out the 1040EZ tax forms. "Usually, the 1040EZ form is the simplest form Broadnax said. "On that one, the person earns below $50,000 and has no dependents Also, married couples who file a joint return but have no children can use the 1040EZ form. Forms that other people are familiar with and use are the 1040A and the 1040. Today, students do not have to mail their returns in but have a few options. Broadnax said people can file their returns electronically within the next few weeks by going to des- ignated, local IRS walk-in loca- tions. "The error rate is lower for electronically filed returns Broadnax said. "It is safer and more accurate than mailing it Another option is by using the 1040PC com- puterized tax form on personal computers. Broadnax said that people who use their personal computers cannot get the needed software from IRS loca- tions. "This year if you earned less than $9,000, have no children, are at least 25 to 64 then you can claim this Earned Income Tax Credit ? Juanita Broadnax "You have to go to a software store to get that Broadnax said. Students who have trouble fill- ing out tax forms can get help by go- ing to an IRS walk-in office. "The walk-in office will help you for free Broadnax said. "We don't charge for that help In Greenville, the walk-in office is located in the Riverview Building at 101 West First Street and is opened from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Also, students who have changed addresses and have not re- ceived their tax packets in the mail or are filing for the first time can get the packets at the walk-in office. Broadnax said the individual has to decide whether or not to do his or her own tax form or to seek professional assistance. "Well, that's up to the person and the type of form you are filling out Broad;lax said. For more IRS information, stu- dents can call the toll-free number 1-800-829-1040, Mondays through Fridays between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. New support programs offered Jeff Lee Staff Writer As the student population at ECU grows, so does the need for var- ied and improved student counseling programs. The ECU Counseling Cen- ter has identified these needs by of- fering new and expanded programs for the Spring semester, including work- shops for Adult Children of Alcohol- ics, Sexual Abuse and Anger Manage- ment. The counseling center will of- fer three-part workshops for Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) and female sexual abuse survivors in an effort to help students resolve prob- lems that cause emotional distress and interfere with personal goals and aca- demic success. The ACOA workshop is struc- tured to help show students how the dysfunctional alcoholic family affected them then and how it impacts their life right now. The three-part work- shop is scheduled to include informa- tion about family roles, alcoholism and to suggest goals. The Sexual Abuse Survivors Workshop for female survivors will also be a three-part workshop that will deal with emotional and psychologi- cal issues stemming from childhood sexual abuse or incest This workshop will also deal with family behaviors, rules and roles with attention to how these affect current relationships and personality. Anger Management Support Group, a five-part workshop, will pro- vide support and help for students that have difficulty managing their anger especially with others. Con- structive anger management will be the focus with an emphasis on under- standing feelings, beliefs and reactions involved with anger. "We find that we have a lot of students that lose their temper and break something or hit somebody and get sanctioned and that doesn't feel so good said Dr. Will Ball, director of the ECU Counseling Center. "What we try to do is offer the student a way to deal with the anger before it gets to far out of hand The counseling center also of- fers individual counseling to students that have personal or individual needs. "I was in a very co-dependent relationship for almost two years, and it got so bad that I had to get help from an outside source other than my friends to make me see that I was in a very destructive relationship said Mike, a senior communications stu- dent "I had one 50 minute session a week for about six weeks, and it helped me tremendously. Sometimes you need someone to help pull you outside of the problem so you can get a clear view of what's really going on The counseling center also has many support groups and counseling See SUPPORT page 3 FIRST DiB5 You get first dibs on a spacious 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment for Fall if you act NOW Enjoy the pool, sand volleyball court, tennis courts, club- house and MORE On the ECU bus route and within walking distance of campus Stop by or call TODAY!

Europeska Ferieskolan (EF) International Language Schools offer educational travel programs allowing students to learn French in France, German in Germany. Spanish in Spain and Italian in Italy. "With a network of 20 lan- guage schools and 35 admissions offices worldwide. EF is the larg- est and one of the most experienced private educational organizations in the world said Lynne Kadela. an admissions officer for EF. "The school provides an opportunity for people who want language immer- sion, it is an invaluable experience for people who want to actually live the language said Kadela. Kadela is a graduate of Si- enna College in New York and a former student at the EF office in FRIENDS DON' LET FRIENDS SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE.

She currently works in their Cambridge. Mass. admis- sions office. "My experience in France was wonderful, travel is what I love Kadela said. While learning their particu- lar language of interest, students have the choice of living with na- tive families or in university resi- dence halls. "Most of the students are ei- ther between college and graduate school or between high school and college, and many plan to go on and teach the language that they study Kadela said. EF offers specialized courses which range in both ability level and duration of stay. The courses can be as short as a two-week lan- guage vacation, or as long as an academic year abroad. "The majority of programs are short-term, some people save up for it like a vacation, but some stu- dents take out loans and pay for it that way too Kadela said. An academic year abroad costs between $9,100and SI 1,600, depending on where vou plan to study. The two-week courses are just under $1,000. but that in- cludes educational materials, a place to stay and two meals a day. "We"re developing a program where we're going to try and give one or two trips away each year, but it is still in its formative stages Kadela said. EF has not been accredited by a university, so getting credits for the program here at ECU is not guaranteed. "We are in the process of get- ting accredited Kadela said. "Right now we are looking at sev- eral schools, but we haven't made a decision yet. Students have got credit in the past, but you have to go to your advisor and show them the curriculum and your certifi- cate Not only does EF offer stu- dents an opportunity to see the world, but it gives them a chance to meet the peonle who make up the world. "The best thing about EF is that you meet people from around the world, right now there are only 2 North American students in the Academic Year Abroad Program said Kadela.

"We're here in a support capacity Last .ame was omitted to pro- tect privacy of source. from page 1 we are going to submit a proposal to establish a doctorate in coastal re- sources management sometime in the next academic year Lawler said graduate schools are only as strong as their faculty. She pointed out that several ECU faculty members teaching graduate classes have national and-international repu- tations in their fields. Despite the increase in gradu- ate enrollment, the majority of the graduate school students did not re- ceive undergraduate degrees from ECU. According to Lawler. 70 percent of the students enrolled in graduate school attended other institutions for their undergraduate studies. Lawler attributes this to the increased num- ber of older students coming bark to graduate school. While other universities across the United States are seeing increases in graduate school enrollment. 1-awler said most of them are not seeing as large of an increase as ECU. "I think-the reputation of the .university in graduate studies has been growing and growing and grow- ing and has a very positive reputation, and now, our catchmen area for gradu- ate students is becoming interna- tional Lawler said. Lawler said the graduate school also is doing active recruiting for the first time. "We have an assistant dean for the graduate school who has come on board in a half-time capacity in the fall, and he is developing a marketing plan for the recruitment of graduate students and has indeed made many visits to small liberal arts campuses Lawler said. "He has also gone to all of the predominantly black schools in the university system, because we are certainly looking to attract a greater minority presence in our graduate enrollment. "We should see that increase go up even more sharply in the next few years, because we are doing now some intensive recanting, we are doing joint recruiting with the admissions also ?D ALLEY Stickers Posters 106 EAST 5th STREET, GREENVILLE, NC (919) 758-5026 Dog Gone?

Washington. D.C and New York He liked California so much that over Christmas break, he packed up his "cheap and problem- prone" car and made the 7.000-mile round trip back there. "The trip was very exciting but a little lonely he .said. Upon graduation (?hopefully in two years"). Fujrnaga would like to move out West, "but I'm excited to go back to Japan also he said. In the meantime. Fujrnaga en- joys playing tennis when he can. "I play about once a week he said, and going to Raleigh for "real good food Like many people in America, Fujrnaga has friends in Kobe. Japan, the site of last month's 7.2 earthquake that destroyed most of the city in 20 seconds. "I have no family there but my friends that are there are all okay he said. Another student here also has ties to Kobe. Yoshiyuki Yasui. an un- dergraduate majoring in communica- tion, is from Kobe and his parents and grandparents still live there. "My grandparents house was totally destroyed, but my parents home is okay said Yasui. "Right now. my grandparents are living with my parents until they can find an apart- ment to move into "They his family tell me every- thing is collapsed, so I'm curious to see what it's like. I plan to go home and visit during summer vacation if the transportation is okay and I can get to my home Until then. Yasui will continue to go to classes and enjoy his time in Greenville. "My aunt and uncle live here, and they told me about ECU. I was interested in the world out there, and America is very international in terms of mixed cultures he said. In order to grasp the English language better, Yasui spent three months at Guilford College to learn his second language. Then he went to Pitt Community College for two years before transferring to ECU last fall. He too, has approximately two more years left until graduation. Then he would like to go back Japan and work for "TV, radio or magazine. Anything in the media he said. But while he is in America, Yasui enjoys playing tennis and bas- ketball and writing in Japanese. He also loves watching movies. "My goal is to watch 200 movies while I'm here, but right now I'm at about 30 He has also done some travel- ing. "I've been to Boston and Provi- dence and I went to New York with the ECU trip. I also traveled to At- lanta and Florida and went to Disney World i liked it there, but it was very expensive he said, jokingly. Another student enjoying her stay here is Japanese instructor and sociology graduate student Tomoko Ueda. Unlike Fujrnaga and Yasui. Ueda is a member of an international exchange program called Exchange: Japan. Exchange: Japan is an organiza- tion incorporated in Michigan which provides Japanese language training for high school and college teachers of Japanese. In exchange for their teaching, American schools provide room, board and further education. Ueda teaches two levels of Japa- nese in addition to pursuing her gradu- ate degree in Sociology and working as an assistant in the department In Japan, Ueda received her un- dergraduate degree in Italian. Using her knowledge of the language to her ad- vantage. Ueda was put in charge of the Italian division of a Japanese trading company. "After about two years, I lost in- terest in it she said. "Then I saw an advertisement in a newspaper about Exchange: Japan. "Even though I had no choice as to where I could go. I like it here, espe dally my students While in Greenville, Ueda enjoys cooking and the pleasure of teaching her native language to her students. She also enjoys going to her own classes and assisting in her department. Since arriving here in August she has traveled to Atlanta but looks for- ward to "seeing more of the country soon Ueda plans to receive her master degree in Spring 1996 and hopes to work for a foundation that sets up other programs like the Exchange.

They are as much a part of this university as any freshman, so let's help them out. Think about it ? then they might be tempted to donate money once they're millionaires! When entering college as a freshman, there was one thing we all could be sure of - our housing and our meal plan. Our parents wouldn't dare have let us out of their sight without a guaranteed three meals a day and a safe roof over our heads, especially one that didn't include members of the opposite sex. While the thought of living on campus mortifies many students who have entered the world of apartment living, it did once provide a "safety-net" (so to speak). When ev- erything else seems to be drastically changing around us, one thing remained stable, our dorm life. Pardon moi, our residence hall life. When it seemed frustrating that we had to usher out our significant others at 1 p.m or when we couldn't drink a beer in the privacy of our own dorm - er residence hall room, we could be sure of one thing, that room would always be there, as would be our roommate and our resi- dence hall adviser. Although having a guardian seemed a little too close to home, it was calming to know there was someone who knew a little more about downtown, regis- tering or acquiring a football ticket right down the hall. This nicety isn't so nice for students who come to ECU as graduate students, or worse yet, as older, non-traditional students. During the 1993-94 school year, there were 2,959 graduate students at ECU. With graduate students mak- ing up nearly one-fifth of the student population, one would think their housing situation had been considered. Sure, they could live in the dorms, but how would you feel as an 18-year-old freshman to have a 24-year-old roommate, or worse, a 50-year-old, non-traditional, student roommate? This type of culture shock can ruin a freshman's first-year experience. Many of these students were all but dying to get away from home and the chaperone scene. Not all graduate students are natives of ECU or Greenville. In fact, most of these graduate students or older students are as lost as that timid 18-year-old freshman who peeked into your door one late August afternoon. Find- ing the cashier's office, the athletic ticket office or per- haps General Classroom may be a feat in itself for these students, but unfortunately it isn't as easy for them to turn to their newly acquired roommate and ask for some help. Perhaps providing a residence hall for older students is not the obvious answer, but their needs should be con- sidered as the needs of other non-traditional students needs are being considered. The necessities of honor students have been answered with the all-honors Fleming Hall, and students with health problems such as asthma are given priority to air-conditioned residence halls. Simply because a student is older does not mean they are wiser or any more comfortable starting a new quest at a new school. Watch the heart goggles!

Art in America is in a state of steady decline. The arts have dimin- ished considerable in comparison to the importance they held 20 or 30 years ago. Are the arts still an impor- tant cultural undertaking for Ameri- cans in this decade or is our society witnessing the progressive deteriora- tion of its artistic expression and its creative freedom? Before answering this, question, I should label those areas that consti- tute the so-called "arts Traditionally, the arts have consisted of music, drama, visual arts, literature and dance. Since there are a number of styles and variations within each cat- egory. I have listed general area rather than attempt to give a detailed analy- sis of each one. Obviously, there are several t,pcs of music, dance, etc. While it maybe true that there is a continuing output in each area, the types of things that are being cre- ated should be viewed cautiously. I am in no way trying to assert my sub- jective belief that certain kinds of art are better than others. This attitude would be intellectual snobuery. How- ever, I do feel that the creative pro- cess is one of continued self-discov- ery and experimentation and not merely churning out a finished prod- uct. The so-called "Music Industry" turns out, or should I say churns out dozens of records every year that make the pop charts for a few weeks before being relegated to the discard bin at your local music store. Mean- while, members of the leading orches- tra and jazz groups in America, many of who have studied and practiced countless hours at some of the nation's top-notch schools, are sitting in rehearsals preparing and refining performances of some of the world's Joshua White Opinion Columnist So many avenues of history throug art are being ignored daily. R mam greatest and most long existing musi- cal creations. The public library is a store- house of some of the greatest works penned by humankind. One can spend hours going through the stacks and discovering a wealth of ideas and ad- ventures secured between the pages of these volume. American writers, foreign writers, religion, science, fic- tion and non-fiction-all of these exhila- rating subjects awaiting our attention. Instead, one can sit home and read the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens or read about people's imag- ined sexual experiences in tawdry pe- riodicals with names that are offen- sive in polite company. Nowadays, people are so intent on relying on immediate and catchy diversions that they neglect to get in touch with their cultural heritage and elements that make that heritage spe- cial. Most importantly, people are al- lowing Hollywood and our society's bogus commercial sensations to re- place their personal right to exercise individual creativity or enjoy more enriching experiences during their free time. Another problem affecting ouii society's attitude towards the arts is its blind faith in the government's ability to iudfie what is art and whafr is not. Government officials like Jesse; Helms are continually begrudging money from the arts and citing ex ample of eccentric artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe to make a? strong argument against funding for- worthwhile organizations like the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Faulty reasoning like that used by Helms helps to impede other art- ists who are not interested in contro- versy but just wish to practice their , craft with perhaps a little support- from their government We have a crisis in America to day. Our society has lost touch with its humanity and its feelings. Every one is susceptible to the rising tide of ? apathy and helplessness that is invad ing the general welfare. I believe that, this present condition is an example of what happens when human exprasv sions and needs take a back seat to economic and selfish personal gains. The way a society expresses itself cul- turally and artistically tells much about the happiness and well-being of. the members of that society. America is not happy and it is definitely not fulfilled artistically or otherwise. America's concert halls and stages are becoming museums while' people sit back idly allowing their cultural root to die out What kind of artistic legacy will we as Ameri cans have left to leave our children television and video games? If we do' not take the time to preserve what' we have created and continue to cre- ate, what will we have to show for all, the suffering and meaninglessness of life? EH Letters to the Editor r Since Valentine's Day is com- ing up next Tuesday I feel that I should warn those single people out there who are feeling left out to beware of Valentine's hallucina- tions. These hallucinations work on basically the same principle as beer goggling. The difference is that massive amounts of Hallmark cards and red paper hearts instead of Budweiser cause people to over-es- timate the attractiveness (inner and outer) of the people around them. Maybe there is some guy or girl (man or woman, he-freak or she-freak, whatever you prefer to be called) in one of your classes that has caught your eye. Or maybe there is a neighbor or an acquain- tance you haven't really paid atten- tion to before, but ever since the grocery store put out those displays of candy hearts with cutesy mes- sages on them, you've been seeing something somehow different about them. This is probably a Valentine's Day hallucination which will disap- pear with the red streamers and heart-shaped doilies on Feb 15. Before you do something rash like sending your Valentine's crush a single red rose and an invitation to 'be yours think about the story I am about to relate. A friend of mine, we'll call her Cupid's Victim or C.V for short, de- veloped a crush on a guy she had Andi Powell Phillips Opinion Columnist Blind hope could lead to mushy tacos and vino a la lasagna not an anniversary. never talked to before, but had seen around campus. She had Valentine's fever, so when she found herself in line with him at the cafeteria she invited him .to have lunch with her, hoping it might lead to a Valentine's date. It was all very romantic until he be- gan mashing up his iaco. shell and all, and spooning it into his choco- late milk. He shared his fondest dreams and aspirations with C.V. while slurping bits of soggy ground beef and tortilla shell through a straw. Needless to say that Valentine's date never happened. But just imagine if C.V. hadn't found out about her Prince Charm- ing in time! She might have made that date, gotten all dressed up and gone out to a romantic little Ital- ian restaurant only to find him mushing up his lasagna and dump- ing it into his wine glass! I don't mean to sound like a Valentine's grinch, I actually think it's a great holiday if you're already with someone. But Valentine's is one of those occasions like your senior prom and New Year's Eve when expectations almost always far exceed reality. You should just stop and think before you send that 20 pound box of chocolates, do you really want a valentine that badly? One iast thing, if you really are pining for someone and you know it's not just something in the air this time of year, go ahead and do it! Ask them out, send a silly card-you never know. And if you do, maybe my husband and I will see you out on the town. We'll be celebrating the fifth anniversary of our first date. To the Editor: 1 am writing in regard to a cer- tain student section in the renovated Williams Arena at Minges. The one section in particular (in between the two teams' benches and behind the scorer's table) stands out amongst the others. A near handful of want-to-be Duke Blue Devil fans, yelling and screaming profanity at the opposing teams, coaches, and referees. I believe team and school spirit is healthy, along with some minor heckling as well, but the people in this section are absolute goons. There seems to be a leader to this clan of idiots, whom I have personally seen yelling obscenities and performing absurd hand gestures toward the court. This is uncalled for, and I am totally embarrassed when I see this kid yelling at the other teams, his head swelling until it's about to explode. If I was visiting here from an- other school, county, state, or coun1 try, I would have to say the section behind the scorer's table acts like fools. Unfortunately, they stand out and take away from the student body as a whole, giving us a bad name and reputation. To sum it up, just don't" do this. j? Kent Linkner Junior EXSS 1 To The Editor: I'm writing in response to Maureen Rich's article which ap- peared in the Jan. 31 issue of TEC. I'm in total agreement with the RHA and their views on political correct- ness and think that in addition to substituting "residence hall" for "dorm" we should also consider a few other changes that could make our school seem more "homelike" and "educational For exampl, we shall no longer refer to "College Hill" simply as "The Hill" anymore, but instead we should use the term "the brothers and sister whom we wish were closer" when we SDeak of those of us who live over here. A more loving atmosphere seems to congeal as result. We can also change the nasty reputation our school has acquired by no longer us- ing the terms "partying" or "going downtown We now "attend public forums of consumption held by various com- mittees We also no loner "cut class however one might "seek enlighten- ment from within" And guys, we shall cease use of words like "babe" or "chick" when we refer to women; they sould be called "goddess' of fertility And if women were not aware of it guys do not "lie" although we might "tell elaborate variations of the mat ter at hand But let us not stop there j NO!

A7 tfie Hood writer-di- rector John Singleton tapped into the fear and pain associated with life within a ghetto. By focusing on a young black man as his main char- acter, Singleton touched on many issues but never lost his focus. He also shaded his cautionary tale with mixed hues instead of black and white. Determining the villains in Boyz N the Hood would depend on each viewer's reaction to the film because Singleton artfully included ambiguity. The promise of Singleton's first film still seems to be only a promise. With his third film, Higher Learning, Singleton has the same story to tell as in his first feature but seems to have lost his artistic sense. Rather than maintaining a steady pace by focusing on a single character, Singleton includes a bevy of characters and in doing so loses step with his audience. The ambi- guity of his first film also gets left behind as Higher Learning suc- cumbs to the Oliver Stone school of writing and directing: in order to effectively hammer a point into the viewer's mind, don't settle for a ball peen hammer when a sledgehammer will work just as well. The villains in Higher Learning are clearly de- fined, thus taking the burden off the viewer's shoulder to decide for them- selves who are the responsible par- ties. The viewer is also kept from The promise of Singleton's first film still seems to be only a promise. feeling guilty. Amidst the ambigu- ity of Boys N the Hood, the viewer could feel that he is the villain, but in Higher Learning the viewer sits comfortably distanced from the events on the screen because Single- ton clearly identifies his antagonists. Higher Learning unfolds on the campus of fictional Columbus University somewhere in Southern California. The film begins by follow- ing an incoming freshman class as they orient themselves to college and then ends sometime in the middle of the term. By ending the film mid-term, with only a few shots of a December graduation, Single- ton leaves the film without a real conclusion: the film just seems to end rather than conclude. Singleton would have been better advised to follow the term to conclusion rather than build toward a climactic shoot- ing incident on the quad.

NC 27858 Anyone who's grown tired of their hum-drum beer-and-pizza-pol- luted body pay close attention, be- cause there may just be a way out of it that's waiting for you. Flex Appeal, a personal train- ing service located across from Hardbodies gym on the Evans St. Mall, is ready and waiting to heip bum off unwanted fat and build a leaner body with a comprehensive nutrition and exercise program geared for notice- able results. Bradley Cain, the owner and operator of the business, said that he was prompted to start Flex Appeal af- ter he realized the benefits a personal trainer can provide. Cain said that his experience working with a trainer when he began bodybuilding has been invaluable. '(Having a personal trainer) is basically just like having a coach he said. "You're not born knowing how to play soccer and you have to practice when you play basketball: the same thing ap- plies to work- ing out. Guys I know some- times equate weightlifting with a lack of intelli- gence, and they say 'I should know how to throw weight around I'm not saying that weightlifting is like rocket science, but there are a lot of little things you may never pick up on if you are just in there doing things by yourself. Cain said that he feels he works well with college students and said that he still maintains a college-like lifestyle, which he believes may give him an advantage in under- standing the obstacles such clients may face in making improve- ments in their body and overall health. He also said that 80 percent of his clients are female, and the majority of them are new to weight-training and need a guiding hand to help them train safely and effectively. "We set people up on eight- week programs where we train with them four days a week and we'll have a personal trainer with th '11 four of those times.

He also accepts credit cards. He said, however, that someone shouldn't pay the money to start the program with- out being willing to do the work in- volved with making the program a success. "My program isn't based on magical pills or any guarantees that you'll lose 40 pounds in eight weeks he said. "It's basically just good, sound nutrition along with a good, solid work- out program, and it works if you fol- low it. It's a lot of hard work, but last year I trained 71 people and never had anyone ask for their money back. That doesn't mean that I had 71 people walking around looking like Mr. and Mrs. Olympia. but the ones that made dramatic improvements will be the first to tell you that they did what I said CD. Reviews THE Crossword .1 I Todd Snider Songs for the Daily Planet Trent Giardino Staff Writer This is just what the world needs now - another folk singer. Todd Snider's new CD. Songs for the Daily Planet, is a mixture of folk and coun- try sounds. The whole disc is one long ballad of the same music and redun- dant lyrics. Todd Snider's attempt to capture the truths about life are me- diocre at best; this is very predictable stuff. When listening to the CD, it seemed as though 1 knew what he was going to say before he did. Snider's style is very cliche, and it gets pretty annoying after about three songs. Songs for the Daily Planet can best be described as radio music. Good times, a few beers and being lurt by women are a few of the brilliantly original topics Todd sings about. This album would be In the perfect atmo- sphere if played at the Sports Pad or any pool hall. "Trouble" talks about how a woman's good looks are going to get him into trouble. The second cut is entitled "Easy Money in which Todd talks about well, how he wants to make some easy money. Wow, it's so hard to find music that discusses important or even relevant topics these days and here is a man of the times. 1 can really relate to his music (yawn). Perhaps the fact that this CD was released on Margaritaville Records explains why Snider sticks so hard to the Buffet style of music. 1 can almost hear the man himself sing- ing Todd's songs for him. A lot of har- monica, acoustic guitars, hand slappin and foot stompin make up this album. Due to his weak vocals, none of the songs rock hard enough to even men- tion as a good song to listen to. The rest of the songs are one big copy of all the cliches in the world. "Turn It Up" was Todd's last request for the night, and according to his fifth song, he's an "Alright Guy The only thing that took me by surprise was that there is a "ghost track" after the last song.

In a nutshell, that's what the Highlander films are all about. The original Highlander is a great movie, filled with sword fights and centered around a cool premise. Immortals live among us, able to survive any wound except the re- moval of the head. Over the course of centuries they've been honing their combat skills in preparation for the Gathering, a grand final battle that will leave only one im- mortal alive and decide the fate of mankind. Of course, that final battle happened in the first film, so you'd think sequels would be out of the question. But no, Hollywood made us suffer through Highlander 2, a film best forgotten by all; it may be the worst sequel in movie history. Now they've brought us High- lander 3: the Final Dimension, and we're suffering again. The first 20 minutes are great guns, though, with a flashback se- quence set 400 years in the past. The young Connor McCloud (Chris- topher Lambert) wanders across Europe and Asia to Japan, where he meets up with an immortal sor- cerer, played by neato Chinese char- acter actor Mako, best-remembered as Arnold Schwarzenegger's wiz- ard companion in Conan the Bar- barian. This sorcerer teaches our hero Japanese sword-fighting tech- niques and forges the weapon that McCloud used in the original film. Despite some choppy editing on a rape-and-pillage sequence featuring villainous immortal Kane (Mario Van Peebles), this opening se- quence is super-cool. Unfortunately, the film as a whole is for die-hard Mako fans only, as Highlander 3 takes a quick nose-dive as soon as the wizened actor leaves the screen. Incredibly sloppy editing ruins Mako's final scene, as he is beheaded by Van Peebles' Kane. The i word swings to- ward Mako's neck, there's a cutting noise, and the next thing we see is Mako's headless body lying on the floor. That's right, they cut out the beheading. The whole movie is about cutting off people's heads, and they cut out the beheading! And it wasn't just once; they cut every beheading in the film! What were they thinking? They were thinking about get- ting a PG-13 rating is what they were thinking. The producers de- cided, apparently at the last minute, to market this flick to a younger age group. So the only hack-and- slash you'll see in Highlander 3 is in the editing. The problem is, con- sidering that violence is inherent to the film's concept, this decision is ludicrous. Anyway, as the film moves into the present day it gets even worse. Kane is imprisoned in the sorcerer's stronghold for 400 years, only to be released by excavation for some sort of factory. The fac- tory set looks like something out of a Godzilla movie. The camera focuses on it so much that 1 as- sumed there'd be some point to the ridiculous thing, but no. Like ev- erything else in Highlander 3. it was just empty stage dressing. Equally empty are the char- acters' relationships. McCloud has adopted a son since the original film that we barely see, yet are sup- posed to care about when his life is threatened. Later, McCloud sup- posedly falls in love with an arche- ologist who discovers his secret. The only real backing his feelings are given, however, is the fact that she resembles someone he was in love with during the French Revo- lution. Now, there's a great basis tor a relationship! Other problems abound. Kane inexplicably kills one of his immor- tal henchmen immediately alter es- caping into the modern world, ap- parently just to prove to the audi- ence how ruthless he is He just spent 400 years trapped in a cave with this guy! You figure he'd have bumped the guy off a long time ago if he wanted him dead that bad. I'm not even going to go into the inconsistencies with the ending of the original film, which left McCloud mortal and with the power to see into men's minds or some such nonsense. I don't need to. because I haven't mentioned the worst thing about Highlander 3 yet. Once Kane escapes from the cave, this film is a virtual copy of the original. Van Peebles has stolen Clancy Brown's villain routine from the first film al- most verbatim, leering and cackling like a madman. He tracks McCloud down, kidnaps his son (instead of his girlfriend), and they have an ex- plosive final battle in an abandoned factory. The only tiling missing is the Queen soundtrack, and consid- ering the music they did choose. Freddie Mercury would have been a welcome intrusion. This is a bad film, all the way around. Forty minutes in. 1 was won- dering how much trouble it would he to sneak into the theater next door to catch the end of The Ad- ventures of Yellow Dog. Even if you don't compare it to the wonderful original, it stinks. Don't see it. Don't rent it. Forget it ever happened. Unless, of course, you really love Mako. Out of ten stars, Highlander 3: the h'inal Dimension rates a sad two.

The skinheads are meant to represent the white author- ity fostering the prejudice and rac- ism in today's society. But skinheads represent such a small, reactionary segment of society - and rarely pose a threat to campus harmony - that Singleton seems to use them as a sim- plistic substitute for more complex racial problems. This simplification disengages the viewer from the film and keeps Singleton's point from be- ing clearly made. PLANET from page 7 attle, you will make a million dol- lars. Even if the band's "thing is to not play any music at all. they will still make a million dollars. It is a funny song, but it's about six or seven months too late. The Seattle scene is as tired as the rest of this album. Singleton works more effec- tively when he exposes racism through slight gestures as opposed to gunshots. When a young, white freshman female named Kristen (Kristy Swanson) rides in an eleva- tor with a young black freshman male named Malik (winningly played by Omar Eppes), she slowly brings her hands closer to her pocketbook caus- ing Malik to roll his eyes. The slight movement says more about racism and sexism than many of the grandi- ose gestures in the film.

If folk-type country Jimmy Buffet style music is your gig, then you might want to check it out. But remember, as Snider himself says. "Silence is music's original alternative small scene in the elevator works with much greater force than the large scale scene of the shooting. The characters in Higher Learning are all caricatures. One weakness of Boyz X the Hood was the stereotypical characters. Instead of improving his character writing, Singleton worsens it by making his characters too simplistic. Malik is the track star with an attitude; Kristen is the white bread girl who experi- ences confusion and pain about col- lege: Deja (Tyra Banks) is an intelli- gent black woman who tries to help Malik only to suffer unjust .retribu- tion for her efforts; Remy (Michael Rappaport) is the confused loner who becomes a skinhead; Fudge (Ice Cube) is the vocal black activist sup- posedly well-read and intelligent but in his sixth year of school. Other ste- reotypes exist in a soft-spoken, friendly lesbian (Jennifer Connelly) and a stately, wizened, bearded pro- fessor of political science (Laurence Fishburne). Higher Learning still contains many powerful moments and a strong message that needs to be heard. But the filmmaking decisions undercut the raw power of the film. Singleton makes the film seem like an adver- tisement for his message rather than a complex, interesting story contain- ing strong opinions. Singleton is still young. He may yet live up to the promise of being an artistic success. But with Higher Learning, much like the students he presents in his film, he is just coast- ing.

Baseball season starts Gary Overton Aaron Wilson Staff Writer The 1995 ECU baseball team will play it's first-ever, all-Division- I schedule, highlighted by games against ACC opponents North Carolina, N.C. State, and Duke. These games, plus playing in the competitive CAA conference (rated fifth best in country), represent quite a challenge for head coach Gary Overton's squad. With 10 lettermen returning, however, and 17 highly-touted new- comers joining the program, they should finish much higher than the fifth place finish predicted for them by several publications. This prediction is based upon the Pirates' loss of several out- standing players to graduation and the major league baseball draft. Sophomore pitcher Michael Jacobs was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 14th round. Richie Blackwell and Johnny Beck, who holds the all-time ECU record for career strikeouts, were drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies in the 17th and 34th rounds, respectively. 1994 All-CAA centerfielder Jamie Borel, who broke the all-time ECU stolen base records in a sea- son (43) and for a career (61) was drafted in the 29th round of the amateur draft. "We did lose five pitchers that were an integral part of our program last year Overton said. "Our schedule is rated as one of the best in the country. Three of our conference opponents are pre- dicted to be the best in some time. Those two factors are the reason we are only picked to finish fifth. We do feel we are more than ca- pable of finishing in the upper ech- elon, but we will have to play good baseball to do that This year's team does have a considerable amount of talent, led by senior outfielder Brian Yerys. Yerys played in all 54 games a year ago after transferring from Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College, and finished "94 with a .364 bat- ting average, led the team in RBI's with 59 and led the team in total bases with 119. The Charlotte, N.C. native accomplished all of this, even though he didn't play baseball un- til his senior year at Providence High School. "The number one thing about Brian Yerys is that he is a very- tough competitor Overton said. "That makes him a quality player in itself. In addition, he is also the most improved player on the team in terms of strength, power and arm strength. A very underrated part of his game is his speed on the base paths. All of these factors combine to make him an. outstanding pros- pect. Brian has proven he can com- pete on the Division-1 level Fellow outfielder Jason Head also returns and provides leader- ship and experience to this young team. This is his third year as a starter, hitting .313 last year and finishing second on the team in runs scored and doubles to gain Second-Team All-CAA honors. "Jason can hit anywhere in the batting order and has played Photo by HAROLD WISE No ECU men's hoops coach Eddie Payne didn't get a job at FSU but he is preparing "o lale his Plates on a two-game road trip, starting Saturday mght ,n Richmond.

Jr. said. "I hope that 1 will be in a posi- tion to help East Carolina in the fu- ture ECU'S athletics director for- mally announced his resignation in a Tuesday afternoon press confer ence. "I leave feeling good about this program Hart said at a Tuesday press conference. "The future will be bright for East Carolina and its ath- letic department Hart, only the fifth ECU ath- letics director, saw two different foot- ball teams reach postseason bowls, and the men's basketball team reach the NCAA's for the first time since 1972. "1 would like to meet with the people at Florida "State and share some philosophical views so mat we can move that program forward Hart said. Hart will join the Florida State staff on March 15. Until then, he will be busy meeting with his Greenville constituents, and finalizing plans for exposure of ECU'S football program next season. "Every athletic director has moved this program forward he said. i hope that I've moved the program forward. In his seven years at ECU, Hart played an integral part in shaping the program. His emphasis on developing the student-athlete, while molding the athletics program into a contending school with other I-A programs has made Hart a great asset to ECU. His implementation of the "Great Pirate PurpleGold Pigskin Pig-Out" increased the popularity around spring football. Hart, who was hired at ECU for his expertise in mar- keting, also created the "Ain't It Great to Tailgate" atmosphere for the foot- ball program, bringing in some of the largest crowds to Dowdy-Ficklen since 1983. An emotional Hart thanked the numerous people responsible for their involvement with him and the athletic department. "Thank you to the media, thank you to Chancellor Dick Eakin Hart said, as he addressed everyone from the faculty to the student body at the press conference. "1 have a lot of fond memories of East Carolina His influence and insight will be a great asset to Florida State, as his departure from ECU will leave a enormous space to fill.

Parham gives ECU big win over Mason Aaron Wilson Staff Writer East Carolina snapped a three- game Colonial Athletic Association losing streak when freshman point guard Tony Parham hit a three- pointer with iess than a second left on the clock, giving the Pirates a 84-82 victory over CAA opponent George Mason. Parham caught the inbounds pass fom Chuckie Robinson and sprinted towards the middle of the court before firing a off-balance jump shot that found the square of the backboard and banked in for the win. "I was kind of confused at first because I looked up and saw the 35- second clock still on Parham said. "Then I looked over the top and saw I had four seconds, so I was think- ing to myself I had to get it over half court and get a shot up. What I was trying to do is draw a foul if I couldn't make the shot, but it went in Mason took their first lead since scoring the first bucket of the game when Nate Langley hit a three- pointer with 0:53 remaining to give the Patriots a 82-81 lead. Tony Parham turned the ball over when he attempted to hit open teammate Chuckie Robinson with a pass on the baseline giving the Pa- triots' possession with just over 40 seconds to go. ECU head coach Eddie Payne wanted his team to do anything but foul Mason's hot shooting guard Curtis McCants (25 points). "Once they got the ball to McCants, we just decided we would get the ball back, no matter what and we would just take our chances Pirate head coach Eddie Payne said. "I didn't necessarily want to foul him. because I think the way he was playing, he would have knocked them in McCants missed a open jump shot and the Pirates rebounded, get- ting the ball to Parham who hit the winning shot. "We were lucky, but Tony is the type of athlete and has the type of head which gives you a better chance of being lucky Payne said. The Pirates led by as many as 18 in the first half before letting Ma- son dictate the pace of the game in the second half, playing their up- tempo style. Senior center Anton Gill kept ECU in the ball game when GMU made their run. scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 boards on the night. Vic Hamilton added a career- high 11 points and 10 rebounds in only 15 minutes of action. Parham scored 16 points, more than double his average. Parham has started all 22 games for the 14-8 (4-5 in CAA) Pi- Bobbitt leads RS program English guard 'loves to play in front of a crowd Drew Goettman Staff Writer (RS) -If you are searching for challenging and ex-citing fun, recreational services offers the Adventure Program. Organized by Steven Bobbitt, this semester's pro- gram provides the fun and variety of activities you may be looking for in your free time. As a new staff member, Steven Bobbitt is in charge of the entire Adventure Program. His cre- dentials include an undergraduate degree in education from Virginia Tech, a degree in recreation for lei- sure services from Radford Univer- sity, and he has directed a small parks and recreation department. "The Adventure Program is made of four semi-separate com- ponents Bobbitt said. The first component is the Recreational Outdoor Center (ROC). This is where camping, ca- noeing and other outdoor equip- ment can be rented at affordable rates for faculty, staff and students. The ROC is located downstairs in the northeast corner of Christenbury. The second component con- sists of adventure trips that are offered throughout the year. Trips this spring include backpacking, canoeing, skiing, beach horseback See ECU page 12 See REC page 12 Lady Pirate fans have been watching 5-foot-6 sophomore Justine Allpress, from Barton-Un- der-Needwood, England, show no fear of shooting from the three- point range. Then again, she ac- tively cultivates her relationship with those fans. "I love to play in front of a crowdAllpress said. "That's just the way I am, probably a bit of a performer Allpress earned her starting position at guard last month, though she has played critical a role on the team for the past 1 and 12 seasons. "When she plays under con- trol, we could ask for none better ECU women's basketball head coach Rosie Thompson said. "She really can help us, be- cause when she's playing real hard on defense, she's a big plus' for us Thompson continued. "In ad- dition, when she takes her time on her shots she's helped usl, because she has sparked the team several times with her outside shooting Recruiting players from over- seas is nothing new to the Lady Pi- rates' program. Gaynor O'Donnell (198993) still holds the Lady Pi- rate career record in assists and was the beginning of a link between ECU and England's John Taylor High School. ?She had an excellent three- point shot Thompson said of her first impressions. "Just the actual shooting, in addition to knowing Justine Allpress how quick she was, you know, once you get those two characteristics combined, it makes for a fine bas- ketball player Moving from one continent to another, certain adjustments are ex- pected - but none of them were ma- jor adjustments for Justine. "At first, we thought just from the fact of her coming over here from England not knowing any- body - but she mixed in real well with the rest of the kids Thomp- son said. "In fact, we've been blessed that, once you become a Lady Pirate, off the court, you're sort of like a little family, and ev- erybody gets along real well "It was hard at first, being so far away from home, being com- pletely lost, not knowing what was going on Allpress admitted. "The adapting here was easy, just be- cause everybody made me feel so much at home Allpress is an urban and re- gional planning major - a relatively unknown program. I knew that with a degree in geography there wasn't a great deal of opportunity Allpress said. "I spoke to some advisors to see what sort of subject areas would be re- lated to it. Through research. I came up with urban and regional planning. 1 applied to universities in England, and I got offers from places in England doing urban studies and regional planning. That's the main reason I'm in such an obscure field A further adjustment for Allpress was the intensity of the Lady Pirates' basketball program. -Me playing basketball as much as I've had to since I've been here is so different from what I'm used to Allpress said. "I'm used to practicing maybe three nights a week with my team. Here I've never done strength and condition- ing training until I came here the whole thing with the weights, and everything being so organized, it was all new to me. I enjoyed the experience. I liked that As Allpress got used to the Lady Pirates program, she became more valuable to the team. During her freshman year, she played in all 26 games, starting the last nine. "Last year I really didn't have any idea what to expect Allpress said. "We played Alabama - they were ranked in national polls. I had no idea how a ranked team plaved By the end of the 1993-94 season, Allpress was averaging 6.8 points per game, and ranked sev- enth in the CAA in three-point field goals per game (1.2). "This year. I've got an oppor- tunity to get better, play better and just make an impact Allpress said. ?1 want to be able to make plays in the game to make the crowds go.

"Even though he is only a junior he should jgve us outstanding leadership At centerfield Jason DeHart and Lance Tigyer are competing for the starting position. DeHart, a freshman from Pennsylvania, bat- ted .475 and stole 20 bases last year. Tigyer is a sophomore trans- fer from Ball State University who appeared in 36 games with 14 starts for the Cardinals. Coach Overton regards DeHart as the faster of the two, with Tigyer be- ing the stronger of the two at the plate. The middle of the infield should be a strong double-play combo with Lamont Edvards start- ing at second base and senior Chad Puckett returning at shortstop. Edwards was an All-State selection at Clinton H.S earning all-confer- ence honors in football, basketball and baseball. This past season he played in 40 games finishing with a .317 bat- ting average. Edwards played for the Arlington Senators in the Wash- ington D.C. Summer League lead- ing his team in batting average (.360) and stolen bases (17). "Lamont Edwards is a player that has paid his dues Overton said. "He was a backup player on a outstanding 1993 squad. Last year he proved he is a Division! hitter. KMKMMNMHMHMBZMRnSMAMOflNMSXMHNHMNBM This year 1 believe he will prove to college baseball that he is an out- standing prospect for the profes- sional scouts Puckett is an outstanding glove man who has improved con- siderably at the plate. He set career highs in every offensive category this past season. The senior from West Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte is expected to only get better in his third year as a full- time starter. At the corners, ECU will start true freshman Derek Lindsay at third base and Randy Rigsby at first. Lindsay is a power hitter from Virginia Beach who hit .430 this past year and drove in 25 runs.

Rigsby is an outstanding de- fensive player from Goldsboro who has been inconsistent at the plate thus far in preseason workouts. "Randy Rigsby. should he win the starting job, is a very good de- fensive player Overton said. "Kyle BiUingsley has had a good pre- season and is a little more of a of- fensive threat but is not quite as strong in the field as Randy. I may platoon them at first Bil'ingsley transferred a year ago from Chaffey J.C. and played in 46 games last season. He could start at DH if he doesn't unseat Rigsby for the starting position at first. His younger brother Brent, a pitcher, may see a lot of action this year after redshirting this past sea- son. At catcher, the Pirates are led by Travis Meyer, a junior transfer who signed with Ohio State out of high school. Meyer is described as having the best arm in this program since Philadelphia Phillies minor league player Tommy Eason was behind home plate. Meyer hit .387 with seven home runs this past sea- son. He is backed up strongly by Tim Flaherty, a freshman from Mas- sachusetts who hit .561 and gained All-State honors a year ago. The Pirate pitching staff does return two seniors Billy Layton and Jason Mills. Layton was 2-2 last year with a 3.58 ERA and 31 strikeouts a year ago, while Mills was 4-3 with a 1.86 ERA and 43 strikeouts. "They should be the strength of the staff Overton said. "They should be our best two pitchers, not because they have the best arms, but because they have the best con- trol and vary their pitches the best Coach Overton signed several talented pitchers who were selected in last year's major league draft. Patrick Dunham, a power pitcher from Pontiac, Michigan, was se- lected by the New York Yankees along with Jason Elmore transfer from Louisburg J.C. They were drafted in the 24th and 67th rounds, respectively. John Payne, a four-year letterman at Ath- ens Drive High School in Raleigh, NC, was chosen in the 48th round by the Florida Marlins after regis- tering a 8-3 record last season. They all- have superior arms but need work on their consistency and con- trol. With added experience, this could potentially be Coach Overtoil's best group ever. Brent BiUingsley and transfer Chad Newton from Brevard J.C. may also compete for spots in the start- ing rotation. Newton had a 8-1 record with eight saves and a 2.25 ERA breaking school and region records for saves in a season. Overton is ECU's all-time winningest coach with 347 wins. His .638 winning percentage is among the top twenty of active Division-I coaches. Under his lead- ership this should not be a year of rebuilding. With a 14-game stretch before facing conference favorite Old Dominion, the Pirates should be able to get acclimated to play- ing with several new teammates. If this team is as good on the field as it looks on paper, they should fin- ish no lower than third in the con- ference.

Starting March 13. the hours of the Climbing Tower are from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mon- day through Thursday and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Workshops are offered for be- ginning climbers and intermediate climbers at a nominal fee. In addition, a climbing workshop is required for any of the climbers planning on tak- ing trips during the Spring semester. The fourth the final component making up the Adventure Program is the Ropes Challenge Course. The course is located next to the Climb- ing Tower and provides a way to build self-esteem and develop group cohe- ECU frontpage 10 sion. The course is opened to East Carolina University students, faculty and staff, and community groups. Due to growing demand, this is a component that will be expanding rapidly in the future. The Adventure Program also provides a resource center that has books and videos with information about a variety of outdoor opportu- nities and activities. Recreational ser- vices, once moved into the new recre- ational facility hopes to get books, magazines and additional resources that Joyner Library does not offer or carry on a regular basis. This will pro- vide a place for students, faculty, and instructors to come and get additional information. Every spring, the Adventure Program offers a spring break trip. This year the trip will be to Canaan Valley located in Davis, West Virginia. This resort has both downhill and cross-country skiing courses. The trip will be during the week of March 5- 10. The price is $224, which includes transportation, lift tickets and lodg- ing. The registration deadline is Feb. 20, and a pre-trip meeting will be held March 30, in Christenbury room 204. As you can see, the Adventure Program offers opportunities to chal- lenge yourself and just plain have fun. Stop by recreation services in 204 Christenbury or call 328-6387 to find out more about trips, workshops and programs offered through the Adven- ture Program and recreation services.

Even the . man who originated that graceful and effective shot Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. sees , its time is past "Dr. J and Michael Jordan really ruined it for all of us big guys Abdul- Jabbar said. "Nobody wants to see some- . body playing with their backs to the bas- ket a "People would rather look like ; Michael Jordan on the highlight film than ' be seen shooting the sky hook. It's just an element of style ? The former Lakers star, who re- turned to his hometown Tuesday to be ' honored as a Hall of Fame inductee, sees i little similarity between the game he - played for a record 20 seasons and the role of today's centers like Orlando's ? Shaquille O'Neal. y Television has changed the face " of the game. Abdul-Jabbar said. "Certainly style over substance is important now he said. "They didn't. J have 'play of the day' when I was play- ing What hasn't changed: a dominat- : ing center is still considered a ticket to ?? the NBA Finals. Abdul-Jabbar, the NBAs leading '? scorer with 38387 regular season points, led Milwaukee to one title and the Lak- ers to five more. That came after a col- lege career in which he won three NCAA Z championships under UCLA coach John Woodea "1 was able to beat one-on-one coverage every time and shoot high-per- centage shots that created a lot of stress j on the defense he said. "That gave ev- ?: erybody who played on the perimeter . for the Lakers an extra step, and we were ' able to win consistently using that theory of play. "Nowadays, 1 don't see anybody f that's in there able to score as consis- , tently as I did as far as shooting percent- fcj age and getting good shots Not even O'Neal, although Abdul- Jabbar acknowledges that the muscular i Magic center has developed his own ' dominating high-percentage game based i on getting dunks off offensive rebounds. f "I saw his rap video where he said .? he don't need no hook, so I'm not gring to offer him any advice Abdul-Jabbar said. "It's too bad he doesn't have a shot he can shoot against the double-team. And free throws, I won't talk about free ?: throws So who does Abdul-Jabbar like among today's dominating centers? ' Dikembe Mutombo, a center known more for his shot-blocking defense than his scoring. "He's a great athlete and a team player Abdul-Jabbar said. "People talk , about Robinson and Shaquille, and they deserve all the ink they get but there f" are different reasons to appreciate things, v and Dikembe really impressed me Now his life is consumed mainlyrj'j by parenting a 15-year-old daughter andV 14-yearold son, and he has a television and movie production company. But he's X more interested than ever in getting back, to basketball. "I'm not against becoming in volved in the game he said. "It doesn't j matter what level. It would depend on the offer I t LADY from page 10 'That was just amazing' - make the ( pass that's going to get the crowd ? on their feet, make the clutch three- pointer. I just want to be able to, a in crisis situations, be there to light i. it up from the outside - to make plays that are going to be remem- bered. I don't want to be a player , that was an 'also-ran "I was blessed with speed - I was lucky that way Allpress said. "I think I could utilize it a lot morel to get more steals on defense. Right' now, a lot of my offense is being concentrated on. I'd like to also be known as a defensive player Allpress is also highly opti mistic about the Lady Pirates ?. through the rest of the season. ? "A lot of teams have underes- timated us Allpress said. "We've J shown against conference opposi-3 tion that we can either beat them V or stay with them. There's no team out there that can really do to us what they did to us last year.
