1 day February 16,1995 Vol 69, No. 76 I The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 12 pases Pirates on the Street Do you think graduating seniors should have to pay an additional $25 graduation fee? Torie Smoot, sophomore "They pay enough to get in here, it seems ridiculous that they have to pay to get out TV coverage draws fans, money Nation's eyes turn toward Pirate basketball with ESPN2 coverage Maureen Rich Managing Editor Geddy Dolecki, senior No, because the university sucks enough out of us as it is, and therefore it should be covered in our tuition Adam Trusty, junior "Sure, but only for one more year Local and regional spotlights are often on ECU athletics, but this sea- son the spotlight will shine ? om Will- iams Arena at Minges Coliseum to tele- vision screens across the country. On Feb. 20, Eddie Payne's hoopsters will pass, score, dunk and sweat in front of a national television audience when they take on Old Do- minion University, courtesy of ESPN2. While this game is the first of the year to reach a national audience, the team is seasoned at stopping mid- court for TV time-outs. At season's end, the Pirates will have played to living room audiences 11 times. "The experience can only be positive said Lee Workman, assistant athletic director for ticket sales and pro- motions. "This is a record for us and a step forward. The national exposure helps out number one. our athletic pro- gram, and number two. our university Workman said the immediate fi- nancial gain is minimal. "You're not guaranteed any dol- lars he said. "Exposure is the main thing Last night's game against James Madison University was televised on Home Team Sports (HTS) and the Pi- rate Sports Network (PSN), but other games have been seen on WITN7, as weli. Workman said ECU has collabo- rated with a company' called Sports Productions to schedule the ESPN2 taping. Some of the HTS games were in conjunction with Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) conference pack- ages. "We've gone out and actively so- licited our program he said. "I think regardless of winning or losing if we show a good atmosphere, if students go into it good-natured, it can only be positive And what about the added pres- sure on the players? i think the players will be ex- cited Workman said. "Any athlete looks for an opportunity to compete like this A major part of that atmosphere is campus representation at the games. Students, faculty and staff make up the support the team needs to boost them to a win. "Television likes to go where there's great atmosphere Workman said. "If we've got a full house of en- thusiastic fans, we're going to get this type of exposure. "Our students have always done a great job each time they've come out We need 'era again Screaming, cheering fans who are good-natured often make the dif- ference, and a capacity audience at Williams Arena can be a positive cata- lyst to victory. "An enthusiastic crowd that fills seats will make a tremendous state- ment" Workman said. "We want to pro- vide an atmosphere that represents our university with class and enthusiasm With each bit of television expo- sure, more attention is drawn to the university as a whole, particularly dur- ing the "University Spots" given dur- ing commercial breaks. Perceptions are formed of the university from what people see on the screen. "Pride, enthusiasm and class. That's what we need Workman said. "We're hoping everyone will come with painted faces - the whole thing Workman pointed out that while ECU benefits from national exposure, the entire region of Eastern North Carolina will reap benefits from the ex- tended exposure, also. "People can learn about the great things we have here at this uni- versity And one never knows when a young Larry Bird or a young Magic Johnson is out there, surfing the chan- nels, looking for the right school to attend. Graduation fee questioned Concern looms over fee despite explanations Tufanna Bradley, junior "ECU should not worry seniors with an additional fee. They've already paid enough money throughout their college years Photos by LESLIE PETTY Jeff Lee Staff Writer Movie to promote rape awareness College begins with a $35 dol lar fee just to be considered for en rollment, and in between are count- less dollars spent on activity fees, computer fees parking costs, tu- ition increases and the list goes on. Now many seniors are realiz- ing it not only costs to get in and stay in, but it also costs to get out. "I'm not sure why we have to pay it or where the money goes, I'm just assuming it goes to cover the price of the cap and gown and According to the registrar at the respective schools, seniors at UNC-W pay a hefty $50 to exit while those at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill pay nothing. The first ECU graduation fee was mentioned in the 1935-36 cata- logue at $5 and remained $5 until the 1953-54 catalogue when it was increased to $10. After nearly 30 years at $10 the fee once again in- creased to $15 then again to $20 in 1986 and fi- nally was raised to its present amount of $25 in 1990. Some stu- dents have a spe- cial dislike for this graduation fee. Now many seniors are realizing it not only costs to get in and stay in, but it also costs to get out. "It's like, just let me out of here you know? I've done my time, I have paid my dues, I would just like to graduate Kell said. It's a family thing Rachael Workman, daughter of Assistant Athletic Director for Ticket Sales and Promotions Lee Workman, loves the Pirates almost as much as her daddy! Is there an athletic position in her future? Photo by HAROLD WILLIAMS Controversial movie to be shown next week Laura Jackman Staff Writer If ever there was a reason to be- lieve that acquaintance rape is an is- sue that college co-eds face, the movie A Reason To Believe is one. At 7 p.m Tuesday, Feb. 21. the Health Education and Awareness Re- source Team (H.E.A.R.T), a division of Student Life, will sponsor the contro- versial movie in Hendrix Theater, in an attempt to promote rape awareness. "There has been so much em- phasis on AIDS lately, not that it's not an important issue, but other issues have moved to the back burner said Heather Zophy. Health Education Co- ordinator at Student Health Services. "Our goal is to use this movie to cre- ate awareness of the other issues A Reason To Believe is the first film to offer a truthful portrayal of what life is like on college campuses across America today. The story focuses on a group of friends whose loyalties are challenged when one friend makes a sexual advance on another. Throughout the movie, the au- dience will be exposed to the views of passionate feminist students, fraternity rituals, philosophical professors, col- lege administrators and the characters and settings which speak of life today on ar merican college campus. "Tie focus of the movie is to leave the audience both challenged and emo- tionally moved. "The movie shows both female and male sides of the story and its con- sequences Zophy said. The cast is full of familiar actors and actresses and music from popular artists of today, such as The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Nirvana, R.E.M U2 and more. "It's an educational scenario but students can relate to the music and the college setting Zophy said. Tuesday's viewing is also the first time the movie will be shown in North Carolina. "Health Educators from State and Duke and other schools will be coming to see if they like it and decide if they want to show it at their schools Zophy said. A Reason To Believe is consid- ered to be controversial because it con- tains nudity, violence and strong lan- See RAPE page 3 graduation ceremony said senior communications major Tracey Kell. "It was kind of a shock to me. When I went to apply for gradua- tion it was like, 1 have to pay now? I think it's funny that we have to pay to get in here, pay the whole time were here and then pay to leave Kell said. Many students expressed the same attitude toward the graduation fee. Most seniors pay the graduation fee without knowing where their money goes once it is handed over to the cashier. "The fee goes toward the cap and the gown, the diploma and the mailing of the diploma, and the com- mencement ceremony said Associ- ate Registrar Bobbie Austin. What about the students not interested in receiving a cap and gown or attending the commence- ment exercises? "The students would not be exempt from this policy, because they would still be receiving their diploma and the fee would pay for the diploma and the mailer the di- ploma is mailed in Austin said. "If you don't go to the cer- emony, then basically what you're paying for is having the diploma mailed. Those must be some pretty expensive stamps said senior me- dia production major Bryant Dukes. SGA seeks new members Day, hail representatives needed to fill vacancies Tambra Zion Assistant News Editor The number of Student Govern- ment Association (SGA) members has dropped almost in half this semester due to inadequate grades, December graduation and poor attendance, said SGA Secretary Penn Crawford. Several committee members have expressed that the role needs to be trimmed in order to allow new members into the organization. Cur- rently, more than 20 day and residence hall representatives are needed to fill empty seats. "It decreased membership has an effect, it adds extra strain on the student representative now said Ian Eastman, SGA president. "Also, we're not getting representation from the residence halls without residence hall representatives, we are missing out on a very diverse part of campus SGA has lost more than 20 members since the beginning of the semester and has screened on less than 10 new members. Secretary Penn Crawford stressed the need to fill all newly available positions in SGA. "We need to be represented by as many facets of the student body as possible Crawford said in an earlier interview. Representatives are currently needed for White, Jarvis, Fleming, Cotten, Belk. Scott. Tyler, Clement and Fletcher halls. Eastman said. Progress within SGA has con- tinued, despite decreased committee enrollment. During the Jan. 30 meet- ing. Vice President Sheila Boswell announced that several faculty senate positions are open. Boswell and an- other SGA member gave reports con- cerning a new professor evaluation form that will soon go into effect. The new forms will have spaces to allow students to write in comments, and give more in-depth questions. Senior class President Bill Gheen asked for SGA sponsorship of a fund in order to establish a memo- rial for Detlev Bunger, a Biology stu- dent who was killed last month. SGA Treasurer Michael Cames reported on the fine arts funding board and explained there could be a future1 fee increase for student. "The F-ne arts funding board is an umbrella extension of SGA for funding Cames said in a later inter- view. "Currently the fine arts fund- ing board gets $4 and receives the least amount of student tees. Student services are growing, the whole cam- pus is growing but fine arts and mi- nority student affairs are being left behind we need to give those orga- nizations a chance to grow Carnes said most organizations that receive student funding receive $10, while fine arts and minority af- fairs receive only $4. The fine arts funding board sponsors the Play- house, Gray Gallery, the Marching Pirates, the student forum for musi- cal organizations and the visual arts forum.

Upon approach to the vehicle, he detected a strong odor of burning marijuana and proceeded to search the vehicle at the owner's con- sent The officer found less than 112 ounces of marijuana and a bone pipe with residue. The occupants consented to a search of their rooms in Belk Hall. Additional paraphernalia and small amounts of marijuana were found in their rooms. Both students were charged with possession of less than 1 12 ounces of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. February 9 Alcohol violation - A student in Fletcher Hall was served a sum- mons for possessing a malt beverage by a person 19 years old. Trespassing-A student in Tyler Hall reported two males were found unescorted in the hall. They were detained in the coordinator's office and banned from campus. February 10 Solicitation - A non-student was banned from campus after he was found soliciting food from students in Mendenhall. February 11 Damage to property - A student reported damage to his vehicle parked in the Fourth and Reade Streets parking lot. The driver side win- dow had been broken out but nothing was missing from the vehicle. Driving while impaired - An officer stopped a vehicle north of Green Hall for DWI. The driver registered a .05 on the Intoxilyzer, and the magis- trate found no probable cause. The student was issued a campus appear- ance ticket for endangering behavior, using alcohol and speeding to elude arrest February 13 Assist Greenville PD - A Greenville police officer requested assis- tance with an intoxicated student at the Stop Shop at Fifth and Reade Streets. The student was unresponsive and transported to Pitt Memorial Hospital. ? Tickets for Cool-Aid are on sale now, but not at the lemonade stand. They can be found at the Attic, site of Phi Kappa Psi's annual Cool-Aid ben- efit for the Greenville Community Shel- ter. The event scheduled for Feb. 23, will be the fifth Cool-Aid Phi Kappa Psi has staged. This is the third straight year that all proceeds from this benefit will be donated to the Greenville Commu- nity Shelter. The Greenville Commu- nity Shelter, located off Dickinson Av- enue and under the direction of Rommi Drozdov, has become Phi Kappa Psi's "unoffical charity" according to the fraternity's president, Chris Warren. According to Joe Tronto, manager of the Attic, this will be the second year the Attic has staged this event Total money collected at the door will be do- nated to the Greenville Community Shel- ter. "Last year we donated about $500 Tronto said. "A common misconception when looking at a fraternity's involvement in such an event is that the fraternity keeps a percentage of the profit Not true of the 'Cool-Aid' benefit" Warren said. "All profits from this benefit go directly to the Greenville Community Shelter According to Warren, the frater- nity donated a total of more than $800 last year, and this year they hope to raise even more. The event has continued to get bigger each year with more m ley being raised. Phi Kappa Psi has also received donations from University Book Ex- change (UBE), S & M Equipment Cor- poration and CD Alley. T-shirts will be made in conjunction with UBE. and pro- ceeds from the sale of the shirts will also be donated to the Greenville Com- munity Shelter. The price of admission to the Attic will be $5 and the projected cost of the T-shirts is $10. Local bands Knock Down Smilin' and God's Comics will be the featured entertainment This event is being held in con- junction with Phi Kappa Psi's Founders Day which is Feb. 19. Warren said the event usually brings alumni together. "We usually try to get it as close to the 19 as possible, but this year the 19th fell on a Sunday he said.

A Feb. 6 debate on funding approval lasted over 10 minutes, and ended in a passing vote. Eastman said he is still trying to establish 24-hour study halls dur- ing exam weeks. He said extending hours for Joyner Library would prove too costly, but that other locations such as the Wright Place and General Classroom are being considered.

"But what makes it a success is that it's an honest look at college life and not full of fuzzy body parts or bleeped words. That would be less ef- fective Zophy said. According to Zophy. the movie has been well received at other univer- sities in the country. "Syracuse said it was well written and portrayed real life. The violent scene in particular was very realistic she said. After the movie, which is 105 minutes long, a panel of ECU profes- sionals from various organizations will be available for a question-and-answer discussion. People representing the Counseling Center, Judicial Affairs, The Interfratemity Council (IFC), Resident Life and Peer Health are interested in feedback about the movie as well as an open discussion about issues ad- dressed in the movie. Some health teachers are requir- ing their students to go to the movie as part of their course requirements and "some residence halls are also making the movie mandatory for their residents Zophy said. The IFC is also making the movie mandatory for its pledges. "The younger members of fra- ternities are the Greek systems' future, they're the ones who are going to have to battle these issues in the future said Justin Conrad, IFC president and a member of the follow-up discussion panel. "I really hope the Greek system realizes how much they are identified as individual groups instead of indi- vidual people Conrad said. "I'd like the audience to see that Greeks often get labeled unfairly. The movie is just another ex- ample of how ECU is trying to create awareness. Another is recognizing April as Rape Awareness Month. "On April 4, we are organizing a Take Back the Night March to promote awareness yet again said Dr. Sara Shepherd, a counselor at the Counsel- ing Center and chair of the Sexual Abuse Committee. Shepherd said that according to a study done by Mary Koss, statistics report that one in six college women are involved are in an assault or rape. And that number jumps to one in three across a lifetime, including childhood molestation and adult sexual molesta- tion. And, 75 percent of men and 55 percent of women involved with an ac- quaintance rape reported alcohol and drug involvement This is an important figure especially on college campuses, Shepherd said. "It's really important to talk about these issues Shepherd said. "This isn't about male-bashing, it's about people communicating and be- ing respectful of each other Hendrix Theater seats 750 people and the movie is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is advised to ar- rive early. No ID is required and any- one is welcome. "What we hope students get from it the movie is alcohol aware- ness, rape awareness and decision making skills Zophy said.

Well, 25 volunteers over at the REAL Crisis Center are working overtime to save lives and sanity. The least y'all could do is drink a few beers in support of them. Who knows, one day it might be you calling their number. Have you ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? Do you count yourself lucky that you had some- body to turn to in that time of need? Not everyone is so lucky. Every day, people all over Greenville reach the breaking point and have nowhere to turn. That's where the REAL Crisis Center comes in. REAL is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to deal with any personal crisis that may arise. Though rape and suicide hotlines are the Center's main busi- ness, operators are ready to handle just about anything. This service doesn't come cheap, however, so REAL depends on volunteers, donations and fundraisers to keep its lines open. At present, 25 volunteers man the phones. Their work is both time-consuming and emo- tionally demanding, but these dedicated people are will- ing to do the job. The least we can do for them is go out and enjoy some beer. Tonightthe REAL Crisis Center's sixth annual Rock for REAL benefit cor cert will take place at the Attic, featuring local favorites Breed 13, the Amateurs and Modern Pilgrims. Rock for REAL is the Center's main fund raiser for the year, and we urge you to attend. Tickets are only $5 at t he door, and the beer is cheap. So even if you don't like the bands, go for the beer. If you don't like beer, go for the company of all the nice people who turn out to help. If you don't like people, go to the door, give them your five bucks and go home. The point is, the REAL Crisis Center offers a valuable service to the community and they deserve our support at least once a year. So get off your butts and go! Of course, it would be nice if you could do even more. REAL is always looking for volunteers. The phone work is a demanding job that requires many hours of training and a good ear for listening to people, and the emotional drain can be pretty severe. Even the people at the Center will tell you that it's not for everyone. But every organization could use an envelope licker or two. And even if you can't spare that much time (or your tongue), donations of any kind are appreciated. We don't mean to sound like Sally Struthers here, but REAL is a worthy cause. If you must, think of it this way: one day, your life might fall apart. Wouldn't you want the REAL Crisis Center there to help? Gun bans are stupid i. Defanged by Hitler's strict gun controls, the Jews were helpless vic- tims of Nazi ethnic cleansing. We all watched the chilling reenactment in Schindler's List as the German troops forcibly evicted Polish Jews from their homes, at gun point Many viewers may not have pondered the fact that most of the Jews who found themselves within Nazi borders during the Second World War were unable to effectively fight back. This was easily made pos- sible because upon taking power in Germany, and later elsewhere, Hitler took immediate steps towards disarm- ing everyone, except his hirelings, of course. The cost - 15 million lives. A subsequent generation of Jews, who undoubtedly grew up hear- ing first hand accounts for Hitler's genocide, are determined to preclude any such event from happening again. The Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Owners (JPFO) under- standably embrace the often heard historical axiom that those who dis- regard the lessons of the past are con- demned to repeat them. And can you blame them? History does in fact reinforce the JPFO's assertions. Time and again during this century, tyrannical governments and dictators have suc- cessfully coupled strict gun laws and genocide: From 1915-1917, the Ottoman Turks slaughtered at least 1.5 million disarmed Armenians; successful gun grabbing laws imposed by Stalin in the former communist Soviet Union helped squelch over 20 million dis- senters; Mao Tse-tung's China - Steven A. Hill Opinion Columnist Police and the military should not be the only ones toting protection. Think of the rest of us. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as history's most murderous government - through a monopoly of armed force, between 1949-1965, forcibly silenced at least 32 million. Cambodia's brutal Pol Pot re- gime went door to door gathering weapons before killing millions in what has been called history's worst genocide; Fuentes' Guatemala and Amin's Uganda equally cornered the national arms market before murder- ing opponents. It is highly unlikely that such horrid crimes could be reenacted in future America. Part of the reason why such large scale atrocities are unlikely is due to our Second Amend- ment privileges. With the previously mentioned thumbnail historical sketch in mind, it is not difficult to appreciate the wisdom of the Founding Fathers' who insured that the American people's liberty teeth could never be extracted. However, many would argue that the Second Amendment is an outdated notion - the philosophical dregs of days long gone by. Those gun-grabbing Americans who view the Second Amendment as antiquar- ian residue fail to understand this im- portant point: The principle of the Second Amendment was meant to en- dure - not the Framers' understand- ing and application of it. Patrick Henry: "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruinedThe great object is that every man be armed What makes America such a unique experiment in world history is that so much power has, in fact, been en- dowed to its citizenry. Why is it so hard to understand that gun bans are, well, stupid? Ad- vocacy of weapons banning is histori- cally ignorant. It is perhaps the most visible display of power grabbing a government can execute. Contrary to what Bill Clinton may believe, guns are not only for hunting ducks and deer, but also for hunting politicians who deprive the people of their rights (Thanks B-l Bob Dornan) The Founding Fathers understood the latter, and judging from last November's elections, many present day Americans do today as well. America is a nation supposedly empowered by the people. Asinine assault weapons bans snatch power from the people. If you still believe that only the police and the military should be le- gally armed, take a trip to Auschwitz and think it over. The East Carolinian Gregory Dickens, General Manager Maureen A.

Terrorism hits America Supporters of the Hamas re- cently held a rally in Gaza. Hundreds of participants honored the young Palestinians who have been willing to kill and even die in the name of their god. One young man described how many young Palestinians feel they have no recourse but violence. In recent years there seems to be a staggering amount of terrorism directed at the United States and its allies. Much of it seems to have no purpose. Some simply grows out of the frustration of not being able to change things through non-violent methods. It often seems linked to the deep rhetoric that America is a god- less country and must change' is ways. However, most terrorist attacks have one goal in common: changing the policy of the country being at- tacked. Webster's II Dictionary de- scribes terrorism as "the systematic use of violence, fear and intimidation to achieve an end We as a nation must show terrorists the use of vio- lence will not help them reach their goal. Ronald Reagan told us during his presidency that America should not negotiate with terrorists. He said we cannot afford to negotiate with them, because giving in will only en- courage more terrorism. Ronald Reagan was right. We cannot afford to reward terrorists by giving in to their agenda. Recently another frustrated young man joined the club of terror- ists willing to take lives in the name of God. He shares their theocratic rhetoric and wanted to attack those he considered decadent This young man, like so many other terrorists, Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist Violence continues to increase in our own nation. A jihad in our America with no end in sight. grew tired of diplomatic debate and decided to resort to violence. His vic- tims were not in Gaza, Beirut or Tehran. They were in Brookline, Mas- sachusetts. John Salvi killed two and wounded five in his attacks on abor- tion clinics in Brookline and Norfolk. He became the latest assailant in a series of attacks against abortion pro- viders. Dr. John Britton was killed in Florida by fanatic John Hill. Dr. Gary Romalis was gunned down in another assault in November 1994. Matt Trewhella of Missionaries to the Pre- born is being investigated by the FBI for having trained and armed people to kill abortion doctors. Another frus- trated young man, Michael Griffin, murdered Dr. David Gunn for provid- ing abortions. During the past two years the intensity of violence has only in- creased. Arson claimed clinics in Montana, Toronto and Falls Church, Virginia. Rachelle Shannon was in- dicted for shooting a physician in Wichita in August 1993. Fire bombs destroyed clinics in Lancaster, Penn- sylvania and San Rafael, California. The increasing violence by "pro-life" fanatics is growing. Opponents of abortion rights have grown frustrated after twenty- two years of diplomatic debate. A few have even grown as frustrated as those young men in the Hamas and are willing to use violence, fear and intimidation to achieve their goal. The pro-life movement has not been able to persuade the government to out- law abortion in America. The next logical step in the minds of some is to use violence. Government has an obligation to protect its citizens from violence. The Congress must lead this fight against the encroachment of domes- tic terrorism. This is going to be a difficult task for this new Republican Congress. After all, the Republican Party has become a bastion of anti- abortion idealogy. Congress must stand up with- out reservation in the clash between violent protestors, terrorists and abor- tion providers. We cannot allow vio- lent people to use terrorist methods to limit decisions for the rest of us. Although many Republicans may agree with the underlying theme of the anti-abortion movement?they must stand up to the violence it is interjecting into this debate. We can- not afford to pause in the fight against this new breed of terrorism. I doubt John Hill or John Salvi felt any kindredship with the Islamic Jihad or the Hamas. Yet the resem- blance is strikingly clear. We cannot afford to give in to either group. The secrets of an STD When thinking of sexually transmitted diseases AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, and herpes often come to mind. But did you know that hepati- tis B is also a sexually transmitted disease? College students are at high risk of contracting hepatitis B be- cause STDs are common on college campuses. This virus infects an esti- mated 300,000 Americans every year, and causes 5,000 deaths. There is an estimated 200 million carriers. More than one-third of the 300,000 people infected are college-age young adults. Hepatitis B is 100 times more contagious than HIV. In addition to being transmitted sexually, it is also transmitted by contact with blood and other body fluids. The hepatitis B virus has been shown to be present in the bloodstream, saliva, menstrual blood, semen, and vaginal discharge of infected individuals. Unlike HIV and AIDS, people living in the same household as an infected person are also at risk. This virus in not transmitted through the air. But cuts, scrapes or other breaks Angela McCullers Opinion Columnist Hepatitis B is 100 times more contagious than HIV. So read on, guys and dolls. We said 700. in the skin can be an entry point for infected body fluids or blood. The symptoms of hepatitis B infection include vomiting, abdomi- nal pain, loss of appetite, and jaun- dice (yellow skin and yellow eyes). Symptoms usually occur twelve weeks after infection. In approxi- mately 90 percent of cases, symptoms are mild and include fever, fatigue, and headache. In most cases, these symptoms will disappear within six to twelve weeks. In less then two percent, a severe inflammation of the liver known as fulminant hepatitis may develop. In this case, there is a rapid destruction of the liver, which may lead to bleeding, coma or death. The first vaccine was intro- duced in 1982. This vaccine provides nearly total protection against the virus with no side effects. With this vaccine you can minimize your chances of contracting both hepati- tis B and C. Hepatitis is a very serious dis- ease, particularly if not diagnosed promptly and treated effectively. The good news is that there are steps which may be taken to prevent this disease. The consequences of casual or uninformed sexual practices can do a lot to compromise the quality of life of individuals. We would like to think that we are a sexually liberated soci- ety and are well educated but facts reveal that we are not Everyone needs to be educated and informed in all matters that pertains to sexual health. To the Editor: I am writing to respond to Calvin Arrington's article about judgmental preaching which was in TEC on February 7. Though I have never seen the Christian fundamen- talists mentioned, it reminded me of others. I was introduced to a Chris- tian group here at ECU, but I have since learned that some of these people are very judgmental. At least two of the members have said that I am not a Christian. I feel like this is very judgmental. I have heard oth- ers say these people are more inter- ested in their group than in God, and they judge people who are not like them and who don't spend all their time with them. I have discov- ered good things about other Chris- tian groups here at ECU, so I am saying people need to be careful not to get too caught up in the "group I know that I am a Christian and a sinner, but the only one who is qualified to judge me is the Lord. It bothers me that these people think they car. judge like this. If they would read the Bible more carefully they would see the Lord says. "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart Cod is the only one who can judge us. since onlv he can see into our hearts. I think these people turn in- dividuals away by judging those not like them and focusing on their group more than God. There are people in this group who have not judged me and are model Christians. I just pray that the people who are judging shape up before they give more bad images of Christians. People may say that I am judging by writing this, but I only want the group to realize they are turning people off to Christianity.

Thursday, February 16, 1995 The East Carolinian m m mmmmm Newman is Nobody's Fool The 70-year-old actor impresses in his new film Ike Shibley Staff Writer The tag line for Nobody's Fool reads "worn to perfection The epithet refers to the film's star, Paul Newman, but could just as easily describe the film. The in- ference is that Newman fills his role in the film so comfortably that a viewer would hardly know that the star is acting. This tag line perfectly summarizes Nobody's Fool. This film is noth- ing if not com- fortable. The story and charac- ters feel so familiar that sitting through the film can be likened to the sensa- tions generated by slipping on a faded pair of jeans and a favorite sweatshirt The story and characters feel so familiar that sitting through the film is like slipping on a faded pair of jeans on a crisp, cool autumn day. on a crisp, cool autumn day. A GQ in- terview recently characterized Newman as being in the winter of his life, but his performance in Nobody's Fool argues strongly for him being somewhere in the middle of fall. No actor instantly generates as much compassion as Paul Newman. When David Letterman aired his first show on CBS in the newly renovated Ed Sullivan Theater. Newman was in the audience. The crowd immediately roared their appreciation of the man's talents while remain- ing in awe of being in the presence of an icon. Newman's line after being recognized by Letterman has now become legendary. "Where the hell are the dancin' cats?" asked Newman as he strode out of the the- ater. In one line Newman added to his already impressive hold on the American consciousness. Few actors have contributed so much of their time and effort to charity. Newman began his own food line and now generates millions of dollars for charity. The com- passion and humanity of Paul Newman CD. Reviews Aquarium Rescue Unit In a Perfect World Warren Sumner Staff Writer The Aquarium Rescue Unit is hardly a typical band. Comprised of a collection of jazz-influenced virtuosos, the Unit packs a pretty hefty wallop. 1 have had the good fortune to see this band live three times and have been blown away by their spectacular musi- cianship and resounding energy - es- pecially by the work of Oteil Burbridge, who may be the closest evidence to God on a six-string bass on this planet. Burbridge and his Unit have faced a great deal of change of late. They have weathered the departure of their frontman Col. Bruce Hampton and the addition of Paul Henson to fill his vocal spot Hampton has led the band for quite sometime, but if their latest disc is any indication, the ARU won't be slowing down anytime soon. In a Perfect World, the latest from the group, marks a bit of a depar- ture from the format the band played under during Hampton's association with them. The 12-song disc is a col- lection of blues and jazz-rock mixed with funk and traditional bop. The eclectic mix is a veritable sonic assault that is full of unexpected turns. Opening with the searing gui- tar of "Search Yourself the disc be- gins blazing from the outset Henson's soulful voice is reminiscent of 70s rock pioneer Paul Rodgers and provides a driving focal point for guitarist Jimrny Herring and Burbridge's busy bass lines. Burbridge's younger brother Kofi provides inieresting keyboard and flute See UNIT page 7 Leo Kottke Peculiaroso Kris Hoffler Staff Writer Peculiaroso is Leo Kottke s sixth album for the Private Music label, but it is his 16 in his 20 years in the music business. Kottke is a native of Athens. Georgia, who grew up in Oklahoma and Wyoming teaching himself to play six- and 12-string guitars in the traditions of folk and blues. Kottke spends about 80 percent of his time on the road. In fact for some strange reason he is coming to play a special concert at our beloved uni- versity on Monday at Wright Audito- rium. Leo's loyal fans (however few they may be around here) will be happy to know that the new CD has 12 tracks, most of which are originals. Some of the covers include a treatment of "Wonder- land at Night the Bert Kaempfert com- position from the early '60s and a jumpy little cover of The Platters' "Twilight Time To top all that Rickie Ie Jones produced all the tracks and sings a little background here and theie. The CU opens with "Peg Leg It is a great opener featuring the complex, mutated, folk sound that Kottke is known for. Then the second track delves deeper into the American tradition. "Poor Boy" is Bukka White's blues classic and fea- tures some excellent slide work by Kottke. which is a technique he has not explored on many of his former releases. The third track, "Parade features Leo on vocals in a song about an ill-spent youth in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Leo's voice is rich, low and touched with a Midwestern accent.

Somewhere, giants walk the Earth. A family legacy of doomed he- roes gives birth to the greatest free- dom fighter of the future. Ancient evils rise to threaten expanding cities, feed- ing off the secret sins of architects. Where do these things happen? In the world of Japanese animation, known to its fans as Japanimation. If you grew up watching Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets, Captain Harlock or Robotech. you're already familiar with this stuff on some level, but now this colorful genre of film is beginning to get a real foothold in America, and it's not all kid's stuff. Japanimation. though it seems to deal mostly with science fiction and horror, tells stories about real people in serious circumstances. While ifs not Shakespeare, it is generally better than the latest Sylvester Stallone flick. Sex, love and death are usually primary considerations in these films. The three are often linked, leading to epic tragedy to go along with the may- hem wrought by the main plot So we have heroes driven by the memories of their long-lost loves, their fleeting happiness obliterated by the harsh re- ality of life in a Japanese cartoon. In other words, we have the building blocks of epic adventure, which is something Japanimation handles well. The science fiction and honor genres lend themselves to animation quite naturally: it's much easier to draw an eerie aiien race or a horrifying mon- ster than to make one for live actioa Even the best special effects are ulti- mately only latex and wire. In anima- tion, the "real" world and the imag- ined world are on equal footing. Critics of Japanimation often point to a similarity they see in the artwork. They think all the characters have weird baby faces, with huge eyes and purple hair. While this is true to a certain extent the similarities really aren't as close as it might seem The big eyes in particular are a convention of the form; American animation op- erates on similar conventions. Compare the designs for the Disney and Warner Brothers charac- ters, for instance, and you'll find that nothing much has changed since Uncle Walt drew the first frames of "Steam- boat Willie One cartoon animal looks pretty much like another, except they have different ears and tails according to species. At any rate, Japanimation is out there and ripe for the picking. A force in the home video underground for years, better quality releases are being nred at a steady pace and are avail- able at Greenville's finer video stores. Following is a sampling of Japanimation titles available locally, each with its own mini-review. Many more exist but this might give inter- ested viewers a place to start One word of warning, though; this stuff is addic- tive, and you may run up one heck of a rental bill. Akirar. Hailed by many as the best Japanimation film ever made, Akira is a cyberpunk science fiction Japan Invades video stores Picture Courtesy of Marvel Comics Here we have the young hero of Akira, surveying damage left by his former friend Tetsuo in the city of Neo-Tokyo. tale about a young gang member named Tetsuo who develops amazing mental abilities. Kidnapped and hounded by the government of the future city Neo-To- kyo, Tetsuo goes mad trying to discover the secret of Akira. The story here is somewhat con- voluted, but the animation is near-flaw- less. Action sequences involving motor- cycle street gangs and the mutating Tetsuo at the film's climax have to be seen to be believed. The epic scale of Akira is exhausting to some American viewers. The true Japanimation aficio- nado, however, should he used to it they're all like that Dubbed and sub- titled versions are available. Vampire Hunter l. If you've seen a Japanimation film, this one's probably it TBS got their hands on this one some- time last year, and they've shown a se- verely censored version several times. The title really says it all here, but I will add that the moody, taciturn hero is typical of these films. Except of course, for that weird little face growing-the palm of his hand Dubbed. Fist of the Northstar. The king of over-the-top action. Our hero here is a burly martial artist who inherits the mantle of the Fist of the Northstar (and thus a film was named). Lots of insanely impossible fighting and bloody injuries are the attraction here: it's like watch- ing Norse mythology. Our hero's favor- ite line of dialogue: "You don t know it but you're already dead A real hoot Sub-titled. Doomed Megalopolis. A four-part video series about the ghost of a slaugh- tered soldier returning to get his revenge on Tokyo. Set in the early 1920s, Doomed Megalopolis deals with the ex- pansion of Japan's capital and suggests that angry gods caused the Great To- kyo Earthquake. This is a wonderfully- animated horror tale, complete with evil magic, secret incest and some of the most amazing transformation sequences I've ever seen. Sub-titled. Project A-Ko: I resisted this one for a long time. Direct from the school of Japanimation that believes cute teen- age girls with ear-splittingly high-pitched voices are not only entertaining hut sexy, A-Ko is the kind of Japanimation I avoid like the plague. However, this film is an exception to the rule. The story of three school- girls, A-Ko. B-Ko and C-Ko, this one's just nutty. A-Ko (an annoying brat) is the best friend of B-Ko (who is inexpli- cably super-powered). C-Ko wants A- Ko to be her friend, and to make that happen, she builds lots of giant robots to kill B-Ko. Toss in a bunch of butch alien women who think that A-Ko is their long-lost princess, and you've got a real Japanimation classic Anyone who thinks American socitty has gone insane should check out Project A-Ko. Dubbed. Arcadia of my Youth: The Cap- tain Harlock movie! Spanning centu- ries, Arcadia is another epic. Playing out like a tragic opera, this film tells the story of a future Earth under the control of alien invaders who have enslaved the population. Living out a destiny set by an ancestor who flew fighters for the Nazis in World War II, Harlock overcomes impossible odds to become a space pirate and freedom fighter. With its string of noble deaths and honor-bound characters, Arcadia gives a glimpse into Japanese moral- ity and their point of view on World War II. Fascinating viewing. Suhtitled. Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend: The best (and perhaps the only worthwhile) example of the Japanimation genre of erotic horror, Overfiend is a paradox On the one hand thematically rich and epic in scale, this film is also blatantly porno- graphic. Scenes of demonic rape and torture are rendered in appalling de- tail, but each of these scenes also ad- vances the plot or adds something to the carefully-constructed myth cycle that plays out in the film. By the end of Overfiend. good and evil have not only been turned in- side-out. they've been gutted, filleted and deep-fried. The story is a bit too convoluted to explain in brief, but if you have the stomach for something that will horrify you on some pretty basic levels. Legend of the Overfiend is the film to watch. Available as a dubbed 100- minute film or as a sub-titled five-vol- ume video set that includes scenes re- moved from the film version (the final two tapes make up the inferior sequel, Legend of the Demon Womb). Sticky gums up O' Rock's Meredith Langley Assistant Lifestyle Editor ?I ? OKI Saturday night was yet another one of those nights when I wanted to stick my thumb to my nose and wave it at all of the people who missed a great band at O'Rock's. As usual, the crowd was lacking, but it didn't stop Sticky from giving the performance their all. The band's sound, which ranged from slow and mellow to fast-paced alternative rock, gave every- one a taste of what they had to offer. It seemed that the crowd caught on to the energy of the band: every time 1 looked around, people were smiling and nodding their heads. There were even a lew people out there dancing and shak ing their booty. It was nice to see people actually enjoying a band: that in it.selt made the whole night worth my while. I also thought that it was really great the way the band interacted with the audience. Thev told stones between their songs and made jokes throughout the evening. To he honest I was glad that the opening band ended up cancel ing at the last minute, because it showed how well Sticky could come up with things to do and say to keep the show interesting. Also, thev had to play a longer set. and that in itself was cool I must say that I was caught ofl guard by how well Sticky pei formed For me, the one song that made the evening was their cover of The Velvel Underground's "Sweet Jane I have neve heard a hand that could capture the sound oi one of nv favorite bands and not even play the whole song, hut Sticky pulled it off. Another cover was a Tom IVttv and The Hcarthreakers tune. "Don't Come Around Here No Move" it was alsi i done wry well, because when I closed my eyes, I could just picture the video in my head With both guitarists singinj .switching off vocals. Sticky kept then sound fresh, exciting and diverse That is a great asset for a band to have: it keeps the audience from becoming bored when every song sounds the same. There is nothing more annoying than paying S3 to see a hand when you can't tell the the first song from the last Sticky is not one of those hands who are just trying to catch a ride on the ever-popular wave of alternative music. By Matching them perform live. 1 could tell that the hand enjoys what they are doing Making good music is just what they happen to do well. With a newly released CD, this band is proving to everyone that they haw nowhere to go hut up. In fact if vou missed them at O'Rock's on Satur day, I would highly suggest picking up then disc: vou won't be disappointed.

The disc closes with a cover of The Platters' "Twilight Time Jones pro- tested; she didn't want this song on the CD. In fact she hated it but Kottke in- sisted, and the song remained. If you like acoustic guitar (slide, blues or folk), this is a release you don't want to miss. The arrangements are a little off-center and at the same time steeped in tradition. The guitar work is at once beautiful and startling in its com- plexity. The inclusion of Rickie Lee Jones to production adds much, and her back- ing vocals are tasteful as well. Overall this is an incredibly strong and original release. rOvJjJL from page 6 to taking responsibility for his actions. No major crises erupt that make Sully change his mind, but instead a com- fortable (there's that word again) change occurs to make Sully realize that he not only has made an impact on the world, but that he is also su- premely happy. Sully lives with his eighth-grade teacher Miss Beryl (Jessica Tandy in her final performance). The relation- ship between Sully and Miss Beryl pro- vides many light moments. Miss Beryl worries that her son will put her in a home and that others don't treat her like a person. Sully treats Miss Beryl with the same gruff but gentle de- meanor wffh which he treats everyone in the small New York town where he lives. Sully lacks artifice. He is an in- genious person with an outlook on life that makes everyone else comfortable. Even Carl (Bruce Willis), the owner of the construction company for which Sully works, cannot dislike Sully de- spite being sued by him and withstand- ing constant verbal barrages. When the day ends, Sully, Carl, Sully s lawyer and several other townsfolk gather at the local bar to play poker. Like everything else in Nobody's Fool the poker game seems comfortably familiar, a place where the events of the day are forgot- ten until tomorrow, and onty camara- derie and cards exist Robert Benton, the director and writer of Nobody's Fool (he adapted the film from a novel of the same name by Richard Russo), deserves as much credit as Newman for making the film feel so well-worn and, yes, comfortable. Benton lets the story unfold in a con- trolled, unhurried manner lacking in so many American films today. He coaxes great performances out of ev- ery one of his actors. Benton deserves an Oscar nomination for the work he does in Nobody's Fool, as does Newman - in fact Newman deserves to win. Jessica Tandy also deserves a posthumous nomination for some of the finest work she has done on the screen. Even Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith (who plays Carl's wife) give wonderfully nuanced performances that make you forget all the other bad roles they have played. Nobody's Fool resonates with warmth and compassion. This film, much like its star, has been worn to perfection and will be perfectly remem- bered for years to come. If you like the comfort of favor- ite clothes, then go see a favorite ac- tor in an outstanding role. It may be tough to see a better film than Nobody's Fool this year. On a scale of one to ten. Nobody's Fool rates a nine. Panama City Beach, FLORIDA The Finest Beachfront Properties!

Photo Courtesy of ECU SID Chuck Pagano has made great strides in the improvement of the ECU secondary. He was also an excellent recruiter for Coach Logan, drawing praise for signing several key players. ECU secondary coach joins Butch Davis' UM staff Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Chuck Pagano, ECU secondary coach this past year and outside line- backer coach the previous two sea- sons, was hired by University of Mi- ami head coach Butch Davis to coach the Hurricane defensive backs. Pagano worked as a defensive assistant for Bill Lewis at ECU in 1989 and '90 before taking a defensive co- ordinator position at UNLV, and re- turned to ECU the year after. "I'm hurt that he left, but he has to look out for himself and his family Pirate cornerback Emmanuel McDaniel said. "It was fun to play for him, he was definitely a player's coacii. It is a loss to our defense, but the play- ers have to go out and play and hard and remember what he taught us The 34-year-old Colorado native began his coaching career as a gradu- ate assistant at Southern Cal before moving to Miami as a graduate asssistant defensive back coach in 1986. The Hurricanes played for the national championship that season, falling to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl. At ECU, he quickly built an outstanding reputation as a coach and recruiter. Pagano signed several play- ers over the years out of south Florida before signing several players in this year's freshman class from New York and New Jersey. On the field, the Pirate second- ary made a dramatic improvement under Pagano, moving up from 70th in passing efficiency in 1993 to 18th nationally this past season, intercept- ing 22 passes. McDaniel was tied for 18th in the country, finishing with a team-best five picks. Sophomore free safety Dwight Henry was named First- team All-Independent by the Footbali News while McDaniel and David and Daren Hart all earned various post- season honors. Pagano was hired by Miami on the same day that Coach Davis hired Bill Miller from Oklahoma State as his defensive coordinator Both Pagano and Miller are very familiar with Davis' defensive philosophy, which is based on attacking the line of scrimmage and creating turnovers. "Like Bill Miller, Chuck has a tremendous knowledge of our de- fense Davis said. "He is another tre- mendous recruiter. He's got great rap- port with the players. He's an out- standing teacher, and a guy that I have a tremendous amount of trust in. You can give him responsibility and know he's going to get the job done "Both have been position coaches in the secondary and at line- backer, so they both have a tremen- dous knowledge of this type of de- fense Pagano was an all-state defen- sive back at Fairview High School in Boulder, leading his team to the 1978 state championship. At the University of Wyoming, he started two years at strong safety for former Pirate head coach Bill Lewis, lettering four years. No replacement secondary coach has been named yet by Steve Logan. The Pirates have begun win- ter conditioning and will not start spring football until after spring break.

A total of 36 teams (24 Men and 12 Women) competed in the one-day tournament, which also in- cluded a Three Point Shootout, Hot Shots, Free Throws, Slam Dunk and H-O-R-S-E challenge contests, which preceded the tournament on Friday night and Saturday morning. The tournament featured teams from colleges and universities across North Carolina and South Carolina which participated in Schick SuperHoops on their local campuses. Teams qualified for the event by winning the tournament championships on their respective campuses. A team from ECU captured the Women's division for the second consecutive year as Kim-Hoa Pakowski lead the way with strong rebounding and a soft scoring touch.

ECU signed a excellent 22-player class with 10 of the recruits coming from instate. They also signed players from as far away as California and Massachu- setts. According to Rick Kimble, editor of Blue Chip Illustrated, the Pirate class is rated in the Top 40 classes in the coun- try, highlighted by blue-chippers Mpuma Masimini and Troy Smith. The transition from Steele to Treadway has been a smooth one be- cause of the competence and skill of the ECU staff who were already involved with several propects before Treadway was hired. "They do a great job of recruiting here at East Carolina Treadway said. "The coaching staff has made my job a lot easier by really doing a good job of evaluating the talent out there and get- ting players interested in the program. We really filled a major need as far as gaining depth and size with the linemen we signed and plus we got one of the finest receivers in the nation with Troy Smith Smith is one of the Top 15 play- ers in the nation at his position in sev- eral recruiting publications, turning down Notre Dame and Texas to stay at home and play for ECU. Treadway has coached at West Texas State and Virginia Tech in the past earning a reputation as an outstanding recruiter by signing talent like Buffalo Bills All-Pro defensive end, Bruce Smith. "Bruce Smith is definitely the best player I have ever signed Treadway said "He was a number one draft pick and a Outland Trophy winner. The only way to judge how good a job you are doing of recruiting players is by guaging how suc- cessful the are the players that you sign On Virginia Tech's 1984 Indepen- dence Bowl team 11 of their starters were Treadway recruits. Treadway believes that ECU's bowl success in recent years plus a na- tional schedule over the next few years with games against Miami, Alabama. Syracuse, Illinois and West Virginia will be extremely attractive to potential re- cruits. "There are a lot of factors that will contribute to our recruiting suc- cess Treadway said. "Here at East Caro- lina we have played in two bowl games in the past four years, we play a very tough schedule and we have an excit- ing, high-powered offense plus a good defense. With all of these things in place and a excellent academic school and nice community to go with it we should be very competitive in recruiting He has planned a upcoming re- cruiting weekend, sending out invita- tions to most of the high school coaches around the state. This should enable ECU to make a good early impression on top underclassmen and get next year's recruiting off to a good start "By seeing these players early and identifying the top junior prospects we should have a clearer picture of who we should concentrate on for next year Treadway said. "We are really deter- mined to recruit North Carolina hard and keep the top players at home, espe- cially in Eastern North Carolina.

With the "major league" pitch- ers and catchers reporting to camps today, something has to be done quickly. According to many GMs and owners, loyal fans will still be satisfied with their Braves, Yankees or Dodg- ers, etc, because the competitive level of the game will still be high. Higher than what? Chico's Bail Bonds could throw together better teams than these. At least the Bad News Bears got to play with a short- ened outfield fence and 60-foot bases. The bellies on some of these major- league "future stars" certainly out- weigh their potential. If nothing happens, we can basi- cally get a chance to see early80s base- ball rehashed more times over than Mendenhall food, and all for our view- ing enjoyment Hmm, I never did get a chance to see Oil Can Boyd face off against Leon Durham before. Get out the Old Milwaukee, Bubba! It's Oil Can! Yee-haw. I don't know, maybe I'm just mad that the Colorado Rockies denied me the opportunity to play for them be- cause I haven't played pro ball in the last five seasons. At least I've picked up a bat in the last five, more than some of the butterballs who do get to go to spring training can admit As Opening Day grows closer, a few players are starting to come out of the closet and admit they just might- maybe-possibly want to play baseball come April. All we need is one or two bignameguys- Hector Villenueva and Don Wakamatsu won't do the trick, but players like Bonds and Griffey would, and if they cross the line, the walls should come crumblin' down. Orioles' owner Peter Angelos said the other day that he thinks the strike will be settled by the end of the month. I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. It'll snow in San Francisco before the owners and the players have genuine respect for each other again. In fact I think that I'll start getting in shape. Just in case the Rockies call back. Speaking of snow in San Fran- cisco, Darryl Strawberry got caught red-handed (or is it white-nosed?) with cocaine in his system, and was released from his second club this year. While he was at it Darryl went ahead and admitted to have hidden lots of dinero from the IRS (who's been on to him for a while) and his wife (who's been on him even longer) His former Mets teammate and buddy Dwight Gooden failed his second drug test earlier this year, so both of them are out of work. Hey, wait a minute. Keith Hernandez got hit for drugs a few years back, too. It's too bad that baseball commission- ers don't have the guts to actually pros- ecute these guys as if they were nor- mal people - with all the drugs mov- ing through Shea Stadium, Rikers Is- land State Penitentiary could have one heck of a prison baseball team Have I got a great idea! Let's just see if we can squeeze just a little more money out of this whole OJ. situ- ation. Why don't we install a 900 num- ber and get some peon to talk on it? Then we'll get someone who has no worth or importance to anyone (other than the people trapped in the jury box) to man the phones. Dam, they beat us to iLAl Cowlings, Simpson's "chauffeur" through the streets of LA, has established a 1-900-I'm-a-big-loser- who's-hard-up-for-money-so-I'll-make- some-off-of-my-jailed-buddy-OJnum- ber, so you can hear his side of the story.
