Dr. Ruth Westheimer, would one day be one of the most popular people in the Ameri- can mass media. Dr. Ruth, herself, never thought she could spread what she has labeled "sexual literacy" to millions of people worldwide. Tomorrow night. 8 p.m. at Wright Auditorium, she will be "Sexu- ally Speaking" with ECU. "My message has not changed over the years: I encourage responsi- bility m making sexually related deci- sions Dr. Ruth told The East Caro- linian in a phone interview Saturday evening. When Dr. Ruth first gained na- tional attention on a short radio show in 1980 no one knew about the AIDS epidemic or how it would change this nation and the world. "Years ago. no one knew about AIDS and this disease has. by far. had the most impact on my field she said.

In fact, her status today is far from her humble be- ginnings. In 1938, she was a 10-year- old Jewish girl sent to an orphanage in Switzerland from her German home to escape the Holocaust At the tender age of 16, she went to Israel to help fight for independence. She began her teaching career as a kindergarten teacher in Paris shortly before she im- migrated to the U.S. in 1956. Dr. Ruth earned her master's in Sociology and later earned her doctorate of Educa- tion from Columbia University. After See DR. RUTH page 8 New state legislation plus Gov- ernor Hunt's proposed tuition in- crease for out-of-state students may equal problems for ECU. Recently passed legislation will place penalties on UNC system schools for accepting more than 18 percent of students from out of North Carolina, if the cap is breached two years in a row, said Dr. Thomas Powell director of the office of undergraduate admissions. Currently, ECU is under the cap at 16.5 percent. This is not of the total stu- dent population Powell said. "This is of the entering freshman class The new legislative cap is mak- ing a lot of ECU's administrative jobs tougher. "The number of high school graduates in the state of North Caro- lina is quite small compared to what it was in the '80s, yet the universi- ties are all funded on growth, and it's very difficult to keep this 16-cam- pus system growing when you have fewer numbers of traditionally aged students Powell said. "The way you do that is to move beyond the bor- ders of North Carolina and attract out-of-state students, if we could be at 25-30 percent out-of-state, which in the past, campuses have been that In-State Vs. Out-of-State Tuition 1 Out-of-State sSggH ffiBSSf i m m � m � high, that's not an unreasonable number - nor is it an uncommon number if you go outside the state of North Carolina "By bringing in that number of o u t - o f- staters, it is much easier to build classes and not only that, quality, the aver- age SAT of out-of- state stu- dents at East Carolina is 70 points higher than in-state students Powell said. This year, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Charlotte, Wilmington, Fayetteville State and North Caro- lina A&T were all over the cap, Powell said.

Gobeski, and a definitive rea- son for the tragedy still eludes local authorities. Robert M. Mattingly, 55, is in po- lice custody awaiting trial for the Sept 1, 1994, incident where he allegedly pulled a 9-mm Beretta pistol from his shoulder holster and shot into the abdo- men of Gobeski, a professor at the School of Industrial Technology. The question concerns motive, or more pointedly, a lack of motive. The shooting occurred in a Greenville restau- rant where both men frequented, and according to the Greenville Police, plenty of witnesses were on hand for the inci dent - but no one can pinpoint a motive for the violent act "The suspect and the victim may be the only ones to know said Greenville Police Detective Thomas Nevelle. Mattingly himself has claimed to not know why he pulled the trigger. Chief Assis- tant District Attorney Clark Everett said that Mattingly's in- dictment happened about a month after the shooting. Everett is handling the pros- ecution of the Mattingly case for the DA's office. "At this point in time, (Mattingly) is indicted on first-degree murder Everett said during an interview with The East Carolinian. "If at some point in time we choose to try him only on some lesser offense, the same indictment would suf- fice" "If is an important word, espe- cially when no motive has been estab- lished. In just such a case, the district attorney may be able to achieve only a second-degree murder conviction, accord- ing to Assistant Public Defender Edward Wells, who is set to handle Mattingly's defense. "Premedita- tion and deliberation must be established to have first-degree murder Wells said. "That or felony mur- Thomas Nevelle der (murder which Greenville Police Detective occurs during the commission of a felony crime) However, a first-degree murder trial usually presumes a known motive, though. "Sometimes a motive is never es- tablished Detective Nevelle said. Where motive is absent most tri- als gravitate toward a second-degree "The suspect and the victim may be the only ones to know" murder conviction - but not always, Wells said. "This could still possibly be a first- degree trial Wells said. North Carolina law specifies an automatic sentence of life imprisonment for convictions of first-degree murder, according to Wells. Fbr second-degree murder, the judge has a full range of options from life imprisonment to the presumptive sentence of 15 years. Despite a lack of established mo- tive, the case still moves forward toward trial. "We try our best to take homi- cide cases in some kind of chronologi- cal order Everett said. "There are other cases that are in front of it" Detective Nevelle said it is not unusual for murder cases to go as long as two years before reaching a jury, but the DA's office is estimating that the Mattingly case will be in court almost less than a year after the shooting. "If the case goes to trial, it'll be the summer Everett said of the current progress in the DA's office.

ECU international programs may be the answer. International programs pro- vides students with an opportunity to study at another school in the United States, or abroad, for a se- mester or a year. Students pay the same tuition price as they are al- ready paying at ECU. Currently, there are 27 ECU students studying at other schools across the nation, 25 students are at schools in foreign countries and 19 students are visiting ECU from other schools, both national and in- ternational. Sunday night international programs sponsored a "Bring a Friend, Bring a Food" open house at the International House for stu- dents involved in the program as well as anyone interested in learn- ing more about the program. "(We hoped) to share informa- tion and meet each other, and to encourage those who are thinking of going to get information about exchanges and to find out what the experiences of those who have done exchanges has been said Linda McGowen, overseas opportunities coordinator.

Peter Ngcobo, the managing director, and Isabelle Doll Ngcobo. the artistic director, founded the company in 1989. This was the first black dance company established from the Soweto South African township. The performance was called MAY1BUYE i AFRIKA which means "Africa must come together During the first half, the all- male ensemble performed the Swazi DanceSong, the Gumboots Dance and the Zulu DanceSong. This per- formance entailed a mixture of ath- letic dance routines and short instru- mental sections while the dancers changed clothes. Also, there were short theatrical scenes where the lead dancer taught the others a new dance While the dance group was ex- posing the audience to African dances and musical harmonies, they also reached out to the audience to get involved. The audience obliged by clapping to the music and yelling en- couragement and approval to the dancers. Another way the dance group brought in the audience was by using familiarity like Michael Jackson dance moves. "The group was real nice in the way they used little techniques in Student-run business offers academic support Andi Powell Phillips Staff Writer A new service is being offered to the academically impaired and the financially challenged. Student Supplements, a new company owned and run by current ECU students Bill Gheen and Maureen Monti and former ECU student Tom Monti, offers what they call supplemental study pack- ets with the emphasis on supple- mental. "We're not here so you can skip classes Tom Monti said. "We're here to enhance your study habits The partners are stressing their commitment to helping im- prove the academic averages at ECU, but they are not promising miracles. "We're aiming to improve the academic success rate and maybe even the graduation rate Gheen said. "But we can't assure people of better grades. We feel good about our business because we're giving people the opportunity to make better grades. We are the edge you need to succeed The study packets are sold hree ways. There are test packets that consist of notes from the first day of class to the first test, sec- ond day of class to the second class, and so on. There are comprehen- sive midterm packets that cover all material up to the midterm. And "We're aiming to improve the academic success rate and maybe even the graduation rate � Bill Gheen there are packets that cover the entire semester, but these are from the previous semester's classes, while the other packets are from the current semester's classes. "Our prices are very reason- able Maureen Monti said. "They range from $8 to $14 per packet, depending on what kind of packet, and whether it is typed or hand- written " Student Supplements also provides opportunities for "A" stu- dents to make their hard work pay. "We're always hiring stu- dents Tom Monti said. "We cur- rently have thirty-four employees but our target is to have fifty even- tually "To work here they must have a strong GPA and show that they attend class regularly and take good notes Gheen said. As of now the company has supplemental study packets for right at 150 classes, but Gheen said they hope to increase by about 75 classes before finals. "We do not take tests, quiz- zes or anything that was turned in for a grade Maureen Monti said. "And we can't take lab notes be- cause they are usually based on lab books or graded work "There are services like this that are really working at a lot of other universities like UNC-Chapel See OFFER page 4 the dances and blended it in a little bit with the American style said Aisha Wade, a sophomore exercise physiology major. "1 enjoyed the show. It was great The second half revealed more traditionalritual types of dances. The company performed Bushmen I and Bushmen II. These dances repre- sented the African Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, including dance's from the 20th century. During the performance, the dancers wore tribal garb and used vari- ous props such as a rain stick, facial and body paint and masks. A number of the dances depicted animal hunts. Wade said she wished there was more of an explanation of the dances either verbally or in the program. "The dances they did were not only nice to look at but they also had a meaning behind it Wade said. "Most of your African dances have meaning, whether it's the birth of somebody or having a little ceremony. I was basically like this is real nice but it would be better if we knew what was the meaning behind it At the end of the performance, Ngcobo came out and had a few of the dancers do leaps 20 to 30 times in a row as an encore. Wade said she believed that having the company visit was benefi- cial for the campus. "It gave interested blacks a chance to be familiarized with differ- ent types of dances and cultures Wade said.

Yes, and so much of it that it could meet America's natural gas needs for de- cades. But scientists have yet to fig- ure out how to mine it without caus- ing an environmental disaster. Methane trapped in the pores of ice forms a frozen compound called gas hydrate. Vast deposits are held at high pressure 1,500 feet un- der the ocean floor on continental shelves around the world. "It looks like dry ice. but if you put a lighted match to it, it will burn said David Howell of the U.S. Geological Survey. "It's actually ice that burns By some estimates, twice as much carbon energy is contained in gas hydrate as in all fossil fuels com- bined. Harvesting that energy bo- nanza may be one of the great engi- neering challenges of the age, a panel of experts said Monday at the national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Gas hydrate forms under the seabed or under permanentry frozen soil when methane, produced by bio- logical action, collects as bubbles within water ice over hundreds of thousands of years. Released from the pressure of the deep, the ice disappears within minutes. "If you bring it to the surface, it bubbles and fizzes and is gone said Charles Paull of the University of North Carolina. "It's difficult to study something that is fizzing away in front of you There are serious environmen- tal concerns about tampering with the hydrate deposits, said William P. Dillon of the U.S. Geological Sur- vey. An accident could cause ocean floor avalanches, leading to a sud- den release of methane. "Methane from the hydrate reservoir might significantly modify the global greenhouse said Dillon. Gas hydrate deposits contain about three times the amount of methane now in the atmosphere, and methane has a greenhouse ef- fect 10 times that of carbon diox- ide. Both carbon dioxide and meth- ane in the atmosphere trap heat about the Earth. Some scientists fear that an increase in the two gases could lead to global warming and a significant change of the world's climate. Paull is scientific leader of an expedition that will drill off the Carolina coast later this year to ex- plore a Rhode Island-sized hydrate deposit that may contain 1,300 tril- lion cubic feet of methane. That's enough gas to supply the U.S. for about 70 years. Paull said an airtight container will be lowered into the deposit, filled with the ice and then sealed to keep the material at high pressure. It then can be brought up and studied in pressure chambers. Researchers have proposed sev- eral ways of harvest hydrate energy. All involve making the gas escape from the ice while it is still in place under the ocean floor. The gas could then be captured and piped to the surface. There is doubt, however, that any of the methods will work. "We don't know now if we will be able to extract it for use said Paull. "It will involve a technique that is yet to be developed. That's way out in the future Shack photos displayed (AP) - To travelers on the high- ways of the New South, the wooden shacks of the farm country vanish in a blur, sagging remnants of an uncom- fortable past But Beverly Buchanan stopped to look. And look. Like Monet fixating on the Rouen cathedral, she has photo- graphed, sculpted and painted the homemade shacks of the rural South for more than two decades. In the end. she has transformed eyesore into art and lifted the ramshackle lives of shack dwellers into the halls of high culture. "A lot of people might wonder why you want to pay attention to that, and I must admit I came to it gradu- ally said Buchanan in an interview from her home in Athens. Ga. "1 was interested in the kinds of structures that were left when people had their hands on them Her exhibition, "ShackWorks is now visiting art museums on a two- year tour to communities as diverse as New York City and LaGrange, Ga. It is showing until April 16 in the Smith College Art Museum in Northampton, in the heart of Yankee country. "Her works serve as visual metaphors for the poverty, struggles and ingenuity of a culture that is com- monly held in disregard and con- tempt said Trinkett Clark, curator of the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. Va. Born in Fuquay, N.C Buchanan grew up on the campus of South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, where her father was dean of the School of Agriculture. While traveling around the country- side with him, Buchanan encountered many shanties built from materials at hand and often inhabited by black tenant farmers or migrant laborers. A former public health educa- tor in East Orange, N.J she balked at an acceptance to medical school in her late '30s and decided to devote her- self to art She initially concentrated on stone sculptures and abstract expres- sionist images. Though the shacks of her childhood came increasingly to the fore in her imagination, she was at first surprised by the social signifi- cance attributed to them. "I was just doing this. I wanted to see walls, and I wanted to see struc- tures said Buchanan. A heavyset 54-year-old with a self-deprecating manner and flair for storytelling, Buchanan lives far from the glitter of the art world. "My philosophy is that we all live in shacks she said. "I've had to put a roof on this house. Two win- dows were blown out from a storm a couple of weeks ago, so I've had to replace them But she has exhibited her works widely. Her pieces are owned by sev- eral well-known museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Carnegie Mu- seum of Art in Pittsburgh. The centerpiece of "ShackWorks" is "Shack South Inside Out" It is a tilting, almost life-size shack replica fashioned from nailed pine boards and tin, surrounded by pieces of furniture that would ordi- narily be found inside such a home. Characteristically, she has painted an abstract fruit bowl, in a wink to the world of high art, on an inner wall. Mary Lou Furcron, a friend of Buchanan, sits on the stoop of her log cabin in a 4-foot-high color photograph included in the exhibit "The shacks seem animated, in the sense that they have a life and a movement to them said Linda Muehling, an associate curator at the Smith College museum. "It makes you think about the circumstances of the people who live in shack communities Sometimes the reaction is more personal. Buchanan likes to recall a deliveryman who came into her New York City gallery: "He said, 'I grew up in some- thing like that and I felt safer in that than I do in New York City Police confirm murdered childrens' identities (AP) - Residents left flowers and notes on the blackened spot of pavement where the bodies of three murdered chil- dren were found in a burning van. Their father committed suicide nearby. Even Police Chief James Grade- less, a 20-year law enforcement veteran who also served with Special Forces in Vietnam, was shaken by what he saw this weekend. "It's not a Kill Devil Hills story Gradeless said Monday. "It's an Ameri- can story. It bothers all of our consciences because somewhere, some place, society has failed to prevent this kind of thing from happening Douglas J. Mont 35. died of a self- inflicted gunshot wound in the woods about 150 feet from the First Flight air- port parking lot where the van was found early Sunday. The children were shot in the head with the same gun, they did not die in the fire. Gradeless said. The children's mother. Nancy Mont had reported them missing from their home in Seaford, DeL, after they did not return from visiting their father. Cpl. Preston Lewis, spokesman for the Delaware State Police, confirmed the identities of the children as Catrina J. Mont 9; Daniel Preston Mont 6; and Theresa Lynn Mont, 4. On Monday morning, a green bas- ket of silk flowers had been placed at the scene of the fire with a sign saying "three little angels from Alex, Sam and Ray The van and the bodies had been removed. Later, Sheila Scheck, who lives near the airport in Collington, visited the scene and returned with flowers. "May God Bless These Children her arrange- ment said. The father "deserved a lot worse than he did to himself. I know that for sure she said. "It was so close here and I've got a child of my own. I guess that's why it bothered me so much Temperatures were so high in the van that metal melted in places. Even the license plate was destroyed. Only the frame remains in the police garage where it's being stored. "It's just sad Gradeless said, choking up with tears. "I tell you, when this is all over, I'm going to need some debriefing myself Ms. Mont reported the children missing Saturday evening, after they did not return from a regular visitation with their father, a bank employee. The couple has been separated since August The last murder in Kill Devil Hills, a drug-related arson death, occurred in 1978, Gradeless said. The town, a short distance from Kitty Hawk where the Wright brothers made aviation history, has a population of 4,200. THERE'S MORE ID LIFE THAN BOOKS AMD PROFESSORS.

Mr. Gheen and Mr. and Mrs. Monti point out that theirs is a stu- dent owned and-operated business based on an obvious need at ECU. They cite the freshman problem here. "Our university has a problem with freshmen Gheen said. "A sub- stantial percentage of freshmen end up on academic probation by the end of the year Gheen said. "And STATE from page 1 a lot of classes on our campus have tremendous D and F rates. " Although these students may need the most help, Tom Monti said that the majority of clients they have had so far have been students with 3.0 or better GPA's who are simply having trouble with one particular class. The response to Student Supplements has been good. "Once we put out the first batch of fliers, we had an order about everyday.

Past participants in the exchange program extolled the benefits of the program as well. Students interested in the program should contact McGowen to discuss their interests, the classes they would like to take and their financial capabilities. "We try to help students match up with a program that will meet their needs - academic sub- jects, what sort of environment they want to be in - there are a lot of issues and factors to con- sider McGowen said. Students either participate in a direct exchange program or in the International Student Exchange Program (1SEP). In the direct ex- change program, an ECU student attends another university, and in turn, a student from that university is exchanged to ECU for a speci- fied time. ISEP allows students to attend any university participating in ISEP. "Exchanges are ways to keep study abroad costs low McGowen said. "In almost any other kind of study abroad program, students are going to pay more and there are thousands of other options out there that will cost more than an exchange McGowen feels the interna- tional program provides students with vast opportunities and ben- efits. "It gives students experiences that will stay with them the rest of their lives McGowen said. "It gives them a better understanding of the world beyond ECU and Greenville and how to relate better with people from other countries. "We can no longer just think of our own little island environ- ment, the world in the future is going to involve much more inter- action among people from other countries McGowen encourages stu- dents to get involved in the inter- national program early in their col- lege careers. "I would encourage students to come over and see us, it is never to early to start thinking about it and planning McGowen said. "It is not always easy to find some- thing for a person who waits until they are a senior to decide they want to study abroad or participate in an exchange Students who are interested in the international program can contact Linda McGowen at 328- 6769 or can go by the International House. versity "f North Ca � Una at Chapel Hill or N.C.

"For out-of-state students it would amount to $225 a year, which is a substan- tial increase considering an out-of- state student already pays $7,248 a year in tuition alone Brown said. "If our out-of-state tuition causes us to be less competitive, then we may run into difficulty in achieving that 18 percent cap Powell agreed.

Brown said ECU's out-of-state students pay around $19 million ol ECU'S total S31.75H.OOO tuition and fee intake: a considerable amount be- cause out-of-state students make up only 12 percent of ECU's student body. He believes in-state students should eventually have to "bite the bullet" and pay more tuition to even out the disproportionate fees be- tween in-state and out-of-state stu- dents.

The out-of-state students' affect on Greenville's economy is something administrator's believe legislators should consider. "The economic affect out-of- state students have on the economy is fairly large, they are here spend- ing money, their parents come to visit spending money, and many of them end up making North Carolina their permanent home, so in terms of what's best for the region and the state, it's good to have a reasonable population of out-of-state student coming in Brown said. Despite a decrease in competi- tive tuition rates for out-of-state stu- dents. Brown said ECU is still a good deal for students. He said ECU'S low cost of living is still better than other states can offer. "What's a more serious threat is the proposed budget cuts that the governor has in his executive bud- get, despite tuition increases we're projected to lose staff positions, equipment funds and other moneys, that could mean $3 to 4 million Brown said. How long it will take for any increases or caps to affect ECU is a matter of time. "We simply have to wait and see said Yarbrough. "The out-of- state student application rate seems likely to decline and an increase in out-of-state tuition makes education here less of a deal than it once was whether it will be to such a point that we'll drop below the cap appre- ciablv, I'm not certain (cent pa,rcina rf rue:( v orminq �oM& &e eries ry. 7, yr(ri North Carolina Symphony and East Carolina University Symphony with Corey Cerovsek. violinist Gerhardt Zimmerman & Robert Hause, Conductors 806A.m 1 IrtriSdncienam You'll be Proud! l-800-ECU-ARTS OR 919-328-4788 TDD 919-328-4736 SYLVESTER STALLONE SHARDN THE GOVERNMENT TAUGHT HIM TO KILL.

But when out-of-state tuition is about ten bazillion times greater than in-state tuition, the whole game needs to be reevaluated. Please, administration, hear our cries! Inflation is a fact of life. The cost of bread goes up, the cost of movies increases, even staples of our very existence, such as candy bars, are constantly having their prices raised. We accept these increases, and go on. But what about the major increases that smack us in the face all at once? The ones that compromise our educations and make our parents have nervous breakdowns when the bills roll in? We'll stall no longer. The issue at hand is the proposed out-of-state-student tuition increase. Granted, the tuition for all students has always increased, but this is getting ridiculous. The difference between what an in-state student pays and what an out-of-state student pays to attend ECU is quite drastic. It's like the difference between grabbing a hamburger at Wendy's and attending a White House black-tie affair featuring royalty and a few Greek gods. Night and day. Sunshine and tornadoes. Michael Dukakis and Cindy Crawford. Chancellor Eakin and "Animal" from the Muppets. You get the idea. We believe, quite simply, enough is enough. Perhaps this is a conspiracy to slowly eradicate out-of-staters from campus, but even several administrators said that the foreigners create a diverse campus. As it stands right now, out-of-state students supply $19 million of ECU's total tuition and fee intake, which is just un- der $32 million. The foreigners are paying almost 60 percent of all that dough! And ECU continues to sock the increases to 'em. This situation is simply not fair. Are out-of-state students being given a better education than in-state students? You in-stateers better hope not, and we think it's safe to say professors and administration are not meeting with out-of-staters on Saturdays to teach them "the real intelli- gent stuff We're all equal on this campus, but the tab is drastically unequal. Boli's doesn't charge more for a slice of pizza if you're from Vermont Brody's employees don't take away the sale signs if they see a Rhode Islander strolling through the mall. Greenville Toyota certainly doesn't run out back with the colored soap and change truck prices because a customer's license was issued from Massachusetts. The entire system needs to be looked at realistically. Per- haps if out-of-state tuition resembled in-state tuition by even the very slightest, then increases would be more accepted at both levels. Instead, we have people complaining on both sides, and it appears that only out-of-staters are entitled to complain. Per- haps, if the scale was not so drastic, drastic increases would be unnecessary. The East Carolinian Gregory Dickens, General Manager Maureen A.

Obstacles exist despite Supreme Court decision �r! Twenty years have passed since Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal alternative for expectant mothers. In the time since this landmark deci- sion, it seems very few people have accepted the Supreme Court's judg- ment. Sure, a woman who wishes to have an abortion can legally have the procedure performed, but only if she first finds a clinic in her area that offers such services and then makes it past lines of screaming protesters and gun toting pro-lifers. Two de- cades after Roe, access to abortion is more difficult and potentially deadly than ever before. The task of merely finding a clinic that offers a woman the abor- tion alternative is becoming just short of impossible. According to USA Today, 45 states saw a decrease in the number of abortion providers between 1982 and 1992. Nationwide, the number of fa- cilities that perform abortions de- creased 18 percent during the same time period. Today, 84 percent of counties have no provider at all. You may be wondering why the number of clinics available to women is so low. Perhaps it is the endless threats of violence these facilities re- ceive annually. Last year alone, over one fourth of all abortion clinics reported death threats. Most are forced to spend exorbitant amounts on secu- rity in order to provide patients with some sense of safety. An increasing number of clin- ics now provide doctors bullet proof vests on a regular basis. This, to me, easily explains why so few physicians choose to enter such a practice and Calvin Arlington Opinion Columnist Legal, but still extremely difficult to have a safe, professional abortion. ��: why much of America has little or no access to abortion. Assuming that a woman who wants an abortion is lucky enough to find a clinic in her area, she then must endure the gauntlet of making it in and out of the hospital safely. Over and over again, pro-lifers picket clinics all over our nation. They huddle in vast number carry- ing pictures of mangled fetuses and yelling slogans such as "Mommy don't kill me The women who are patients of the clinics are taunted and ridiculed relentlessly. It is true these people have a constitutional right to come and voice their opinions. However, do those women who are having the abortions not have a right to have a legal medical procedure performed with a certain degree of privacy and dignity. More and more frequently the pro-life quest crosses the line from bad taste to murder. It seems as if every time I turn on the television, there is some ranting about how he killed in order to save the unborn and citing some warped set of mor- als as his justification for doing so. They have taken it upon them- selves to both judge and punish those who want to carry out a legal medi- cal procedure. An example of how society looks upon abortion is the scandal surrounding surgeon general nomi- nee Henry Foster. Foster has been severely criticized from the moment his nomination was announced. Not because he has done any- thing wrong in the eye of the law, but because he performed 39 abor- tions in the course of his medical career. Other accomplishments from his career are being overlooked and he is being viewed as some sort of criminal even though he has broken no laws. If Foster is not allowed to serve as surgeon general simply based on his record of providing abortions, it will greatly reduce the number of doc- tors that will be willing to sacrifice their careers by performing abor- tions. Thereby further reducing a woman's chances of finding a quali- fied physician to carry out the pro- cedure. Face it folks, abortion may be legal, but those who oppose it have created a situation where it is ex- tremely difficult to have an abortion performed safely and professionally. We as a society need to stop looking upon abortion as an illegal act, and see it as the sanctioned medical procedure that it is. More effort needs to be made to provide those who wish to have an abortion with skilled doctors as well as safe and adequate facilities. Doing the loser's limbo Culture always has precipitation The basic funrtinn n( a form mmmmmmmmKmammmmmmmmmmmMmmm ���i � . It's been said that if you're a failed pop hero, or never even suceeded as a pop hero to begin with, there's always Disneyland, the Las Vegas of the FM-Lite kingdom. Walt must be spinning like a dervish in his grave at the thought of the corralful of half-wit talent at the command of the modern-day Magic Kingdom entertainment direc- tors. Steamboat Willie was fine. Even Dick Van Dyke falling across the big screen trying to act British and singing the chimneysweep song was acceptable, but somehow I don't think Disney would have liked the notion of a Debbie GibsonNew Kids on the Block double-headliner. Some of the biggest names, though, aren't related to the music world. Rather, they are of an en- tirely stranger and sillier breed-ce- lebrities. Again, if the outside world is sick of you, Disneyland will take you in, no matter how many maga- zine covers you've been splashed across. Nancy Kerrigan is one name that illicits the gag response out here in the land of the Overdone Drama. Her story was good evening news materiai for a while, and when the shine rubbed off of that, well, there were still interviews, talk shows, etc. She's still alive and suc- cessful, riding in the front car of Space Mountain with Pluto as her escort. Tonya Harding, on the other hand, couldn't even get a job clean- ing up after the Clydesdale horses they use in the daily parades in that place. This was a Sign for Tonya, I'm sure, because, on the big list of fallback gigs, when you can't play Brian Wright Opinion Columnist From Rob Lowe to Tonya Harding, the loser list lives on. Disneyland, you're in serious trouble indeed. Once that pian fails, you don't have many more attractive op- tions than turning in bottles and cans to be recycled as your main income. Desperation must have weighed heavily on the girl's shoul- ders. She was branded as some kind of cut-rate Judas in the figure-skat- ing world, laughed at when she tried to shake it off and pretend as though nothing had happened, and left in a sobbing heap on the ice, looking a great deal like Tammy Faye when the PTL empire exploded into at- oms. And rightly so - acts with even the slightest taint of heinous- ness are snowballed to planetlike proportions once the media get their hooks into them, and Tonya may as well have hung up her skates as soon as The Word was out. Instead, like a true fighter, she stiffened her upper lip and resorted to an alternate means of making an end, only it wan't picking up cans. Rather, she cashed in on the age- old method of selling the most po- tent commodity in history - sex. This doomed creature actu- ally sold the now-infamous "Hon- eymoon videotape" of her and her husband going about their conju- gal business. When I first heard of it, I was appalled to the point of just laugh- ing and refusing to believe it. No one, I thought, could stoop so low. It's impossible. If you stooped that low, your face would be about a foot into the ground. I hadn't been so utterly amazed at anyone's gall since John Wayne Bobbitt had released the porn flick in which he had been cast as the starring hero. Indeed, Tonya peddling out her video sex life struck me as an ugly hybrid sprung from Bobbitt and Rob Lowe teleporting into the same pod on the other end of the lab, a monster, money-sucking mass of vid- eotape and cheap opportunism shambling off into the night to be either shot.to death by the authori- ties or booked as the keynote speaker at tome seedy underground film festival. Rob Lowe didn't get shot down, but he did slither back onto the big screen (albeit in roles not much better than the one he played in Wayne's World). Tonya probably won't be so lucky. She's more than likely already doomed herself to go down in those history books as yet another grand- ma! laughing stock of the entire civi- lized world, and Nancy Kerrigan, al- though she is said to privately de- spise riding at the front of the Disney Parade, will still be able to smile at least a little, knowing that Tonya is bringing up the rear with the shovel and the broom. The basic function of a form of life is to survive in its environment This has been the cause (as in cause and effect) for the existence of man- kind. The ultimate challenge - how to survive in your environment. Each deduction and reason to perpetuate survival leads to an effect or action. Each effect therefore creates a new cause, which requires an additional effect. I listen to the rain attacking the roof. I know I will rest with ease tonight. How we survive in our environ- ment is our culture, an establishment of effects to further our survival. These effects are called progress. The goal of progress is survival. The rain creates tempo as I write. We began with a cause, which is to survive in our environment. An effect manipulates the cause, there- fore the original effect will not affect the new cause. Thus, we create a cycle which leads to progress. The established cycle of our survival is our culture. A symphony from above. One culture began with man- kind and has no boundaries in time as we perceive our definition of time. Time is simply a creation or effect to Lewis N. Terrell Opinion Columnist Cleanse my sou and allow life to flourish the culture of mankind neve ceases. further progress, which has been wo- ven in our culture. I would be willing to bet that it always rains somewhere. Culture can be considered dif- ferent for each individual member of mankind. Yet, individuals who live in the same environment and posses the same heritage tend to posses the same culture. Cleanse my soul and allow life to flourish. The mind of mankind has no boundaries. The mind of mankind created and manipulated the environ- ment with glorious architecture. A serial killer possesses the same mind. Mankind is a the constant progres- sion of one. Without rain there is no life. Progress has brought our cul- tures together, at least we have elimi- nated the physical barriers. Foreign cultures create a paradox. Our cul- ture, our basis for existence and sur- vival of, is challenged by another culture. The existence of mankind has shown that this leads to conflict. Mankind is one. To doubt the exist- ence or relevance of another culture is illogical. Yet, if there is one man- kind, there is one culture. This one culture contains many our cultures. Some have danced, prayed, and sacrificed others to receive its gift. Mankind has the power to en- lighten, yet fear of the unknown will keep us in the dark. The progress of the culture of mankind never ceases. Yet, the progress of understanding that culture can indeed be hindered. Can you judge me without the knowl- edge of my color? Does your culture demand you to hate me for mine? Do not fear the unknown, eliminate bar- riers not culture. That which is un- known must become known to order the chaos. Yes, it will always rain some- where.

Campus Spectrum The purpose of this letter is to reply to statements made by a mem- ber of the ECU Administration staff. The February 14.1995, edition of the East Carolinian quoted Layton Getsinger as follows: "In the last five and a half years (we) have given back a million dollars to the University in scholarships from the Student Stores Getsinger said, "That's im- pressive in that the stores in the years before had broken even or made just a little bit of money and had a lot of debt Exception is taken to the last quote. I went to work in the Student Stores as Aasistantsic Manager in 1960 and became Manager in 1962, serving in this capacity for 25 years, and retired in 1987. Exception is taken to Getsinger's remarks for 2 reasons: First, his remarks cast a reflec- tion on not only me, but also on the many dedicated and conscientious members of the Student Stores Staff during the years prior to his employ- ment with the University. (A few of whom are still employed) In my opin- ion, the remarks question the com- petent leadership of those former University Administrators who had the responsibility of overseeing the Stores operation. Some of these Administrative staff include former Chancellor, Leo Jenkins, former Vice- President for Business Affairs, F.D. Duncan, and former Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs, Mr. C. G. Moore. These three gentlemen are de- ceased; therefore, 1 wish to speak for myself as well as them. Second, (and specifically), ex- ception is taken to the portion of Getsinger's statement concerning "The Stores in the years before and broken even or made just a little bit of money and had a lot of debt" - this leaves the implication that the Stores were poorly managed before Getsinger's employment with ECU. Let me itemize some back- ground information related to the Stores profits and indebtedness dur- ing my tenure for you consideration and perusal. 1) The Student Stores, owned and operated by the State of N.C are governed by a law passed in the late 1930 The Umstead Act. The intent and purpose of this law was (and is) to restrict the Stores opera- tion (to protect private enterprise) while, at the same time, providing means to serve the students, facul- ties, and staffs of the State's higher education system. If not altered since 1987, 100 of the distributed prof- its are to go into a Student Scholar- ship Fund. The Stores are designed to be totally self-sufficient, i.e all space, utilities, salaries, and any other expenses incurred are to be paid for by the Stores. 2) During the 27 years of my association with the ECU Student Stores, there was never a year in which the stores "broke even or lost Joseph 0. Clark Former Mgr Student Stores Members of the community are given the chance to speak out in TECs Campus Spectrum. money" on the contrary, it always made what the University Adminis- tration felt at the time was a satis- factory and reasonable profit. 3)During most of the aforemen- tioned years, the Student Stores was the major source in providing Uni- versity Scholarship Funds. 4) On 2 occasions during my managerial years with the Stores, Mr. F. D. Duncan, then Vice-President and Business Manager, met with me to discuss the Stores' profits and on both occasions, the discussions revolved around reducing profits, not increasing them. On the first occa- sion, I was asked to author a plan to reflect a profit reduction. My recom- mendation was to cease the collec- tion of the Sales Tax, which at that time was 3. This recommendation would not only reduce profits, but would save customers' time at the cash register. Theapproval of this plan resulted in the cessation of the State Sale Tax collection. On the second occasion, Mr. Duncan ex- pressed his opinion that even though we had reduced sales by 3, we need still another reduction in profits. I was again asked for a recommenda- tion; my suggestion was to reduce the margin of profit on all general school and art supplies from 40 to 28 12. This plan was adopted and implemented immediately. The pur- pose of these two profit reductions was to reduce costs which would benefit all ECU students through the general scholarship fund. During the years when the profit reduction plans were in effect, the Stores still reflected a satisfactory profit for the scholarship fund and certainly did not "just break even as Getsinger stated. 5) During my tenure as Man- ager, the Administration would not approve of my repeated requests to set aside a portion of the annual prof- its in a savings account for future renovations and expansions. All other University and College owned stores in the State did this at the time. Our Administration's philoso- phy was that the money made from the University family should be re- turned to help them each year and not be "stored" for future use. Not- withstanding all the previously men- tioned policies, a new snack shop was built in 1970 on the east end of the campus; the building and all complements were paid for in full by the Student Stores. The snack shop is the Croatan. 6) Due to the increased enroll- ment, in the mid seventies, the en- tire bottom floor of the Wright Building, which housed the Book- store and the Annex (which is now the Wright Place) was renovated at a cost of $500,000. Because the Stu- dent Stores had not been allowed to accrue previous profits to fund this project, the entire amount was bor- rowed at a 10 interest rate. During the next ten years, this loan, plus thousands of dollars in interest, was paid by the Stores. At my retirement in 1987, the Student Stores was deft free. I should note that when the time came to repay the loan, we began col- lecting the sales tax again and also increased the margin on supplies back to the original 40. Dur- ing a portion of the time this loan was being repaid, there was not a large amount of scholarship money. However, as referred to ear- lier, this was the result of the Administration's decision to not set aside money for future renovations and expansions. Before the decision was made to borrow the $500,000 all concerned were cognizant of the fact that the scholarship funds would be greatly diminished during the loan repayment. In other words, these low profit years were governed byno other reason except by design. I should like to congratulate Layton Cetsinger for whatever role he had in the Stores turning over to the Scholarship Fund an average of $200,000 over the last five years. However. I feel that the people who should be congratulated and recog- nized for this accomplishment are the dedicated full-time, part-time, tempo- rary, and student employees of the Stores who truly made this possible. I would like to bring to Mr. Getsinger's attention that for several of my managerial years approximately $100,000. in profits were made and this was accomplished with several thousand less students than are cur- rently enrolled at the University. On behalf of the ECU Adminis- tration and staff who I had the privi- lege and pleasure of working with, 1 thank you for the opportunity to re- move some of the implied criticism and misconceptions which were placed on these people by Layton Getsinger's remarks. My 27 years with the Student Stores are remembered with pleasure and fond memories. The many dedi- cated, loyal, and hard-working individuals made for a cooperative and a mutually beneficial workplace. When your main challenge and purpose is to serve the students, faculty, and staff, and not dedication to a yearly profit and loss state- ment, your work is an enjoyment and a personal satisfaction. President Bill Clinton will be reelected in 1996. He has the follow- ing traits which indicate why he will do well in 1996: vigorous, innovative, charismatic, thorough, outspoken, resilient and youthful. Clinton has been vigorous in his approach to move America, "land of the free, home of the brave for- ward. He has consistently fought hard for the impoverished and middle-class in America. Among other things, he recently introduced his middle class bill of rights pro- posal designed to cut taxes on the middle class. He simply wants to undo Reaganomics. Clinton's innovativeness may be seen in his national service pro- gram. The idea is to give Americans the chance to serve their country in designated capacities in exchange for federal educational funds. This is im- portant for those who can't afford the education needed in our global competitive and technologically so- phisticated world. Other innovative examples include the ban on assault weapons, tax breaks for 90 percent of the small business in the U.S rid- ding Haiti of General Raoul Cedras, thus reinstating Aristide who had been democratically elected to power. If one is not careful, he may mistake Clinton for the Charismatic John F. Kennedy. Clinton loves to "press the flesh" with an appealing style reminiscent of the JFK years. When I met Clinton in Wilson, N.C. about one week befoiresic the 1992 Keith W. Cooper Guest Columnist Presidential Election, I witnessed that charisma after a handshake. Clinton works thoroughly on issues important to this country's fu- ture. He and his brilliant wife, Hillary, fought for affordable health care last year for all Americans, including the 38 million uninsured. It is beyond my comprehension as to why women people would ally with powerful cor- porate interests to defeat a package of such fundamental importance. What would they say to the hard-work- ing woman who had to quit her $50,000 a year job to seek public as- sistance so that she could take care of her child suffering from a cata strophic illness? Furthermore, when NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agree- ment) designed to open Mexican and Canadian markets to American goods was in trouble, Clinton presented the living former Presidents, Nobel prize- winning economists, and other ex- perts to challenge the opposition and ask why it does not want such a "job generator" proposal. Like NAFTA, GATT received strong bipar- tisan support. Also, Clinton has cre- ated over 5 million new jobs thus far. Clinton is outspoken on prin- ciples dear to his heart. He has re- sisted attempts to undermine progress made in the civil rights arena. He opposes those conserva- tive Republicans who want to elimi- nate affirmative action programs designed to give minorities a fair shake in employment and education. Clinton uses lecture circuits to blast conservatives ideologues who favor Wall Street over Main Street. Without resilience, President Clinton would still be Covernor Clinton. When attacked by the press for alleged extra-marital affairs, Clinton quickly refuted the charges. He used programs like Larry King and 60 Minutes to make his case. Clinton's presidency is still in its youth. There is much more to add to the already exemplary record he has. Clinton, a moderate Democrat, has strong appeal in both parties. Although 62 percent of white males voted for Reaganites in the 1994 Mid-term Elections, Clinton will con- tinue to fight for the disadvantaged and Main Street. Indeed, the above attributes spell "victory Join in the fight to make the American dream a reality for all and not a nightmare for the underprivileged. Letters To the Editor: I'm writing in response to Kent Linkner's letter of Feb. 9, in which Mr. Linkner complains about the group of "want-to-be Duke Blue Devil fans" at men's basketball games. Kent, get with the program, please. This group of fans is just what the men's basketball team needs. Granted, the obsecenitiessic) that are sometimes shouted are un- called for. But the spirit that these guys exhibit more than makes up for their occassionalsic) lack of taste. This group, clad in purple and gold, cheer- ing on the Pirates while lambasting their opponents, becomes the prover- bial "sixth man" in close games. It's hard for teams to play a close game on the road and win, especially in front of an energetic home crowd. Take a look at successful programs in the CAA and elsewhere. James Madison has the deaf- ening "Electric Zoo" crowd (1 can vouch firsthand), while Duke has the "Cameron Crazies Lefty Driesell, Coach K and Eddie Payne would all agree that a mean and ugly home crowd has helped their programs win. The Pirates have some exciting young talent in Tony Parham, Skipp Schaefbauer and others. These guys can put Greenville on the basketball map with a little luck and some sup- port from the students. Rather than making the "Minges maniacs" tone it down, the rest of the often docile stu- dent section should take a lesson from these guys and raise a little hell, ECU- style. David Perry grad student To the Editor: I'm writing in response to the letter to the editor written by Kent Linkner in the Feb. 9 edition of The East Carolinian. First let me identify myself. I am one the "goons as he called us, that attends the basketball games and shows my support I find it ludicrous that he criticizes our actions, and states we give ECU a bad reputation. Are we that bad? Considering our section con- sists of fewer than 50 fans who actu- ally cheer the entire game, I don't see how we can give ECU a bad name. Our school consists of thousands of stu- dents, and we are just a mere slice of the whole population. It's not fair to say that we give our school a bad rep, for we are just some students who get a little crazy and have fun at a game. During the games, we are the only fans who stand the whole time and cheer even when things look grim. We start that chants and the rest of Williams Arena joins in. The whole place just rocks with support Some- body has to start it so we do. If Mr. Linkner knew the first thing about school spirit he would realize that we are die-hard fans who enjoy a good basketball game. I am proud to belong to this section that he criticized, and I invite him to come and cheer with us. Maybe then he will truly realize the meaning of school spirit Amanda Ross Freshman PH Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I have often heard students complaining about increase in tu- ition. As an non-resident, I have be- come accustomed to paying almost ten times the amount that a resident of North Carolina would pay in tu- ition and witnessing out-of-state tu- ition increase at a significant rate every year. This is the situation at many universities, however, so it must be accepted as one of the sacrifices made for a quality education. I have also accepted the fact that there is an 18 admission cap rule that ap- plies to non-residents. So, the admis- sion process is more selective for out- of-state students, as well. Again, this however, the UNC system has decided to cut budget funds for any univer- sity that-violates this rule. Since ECU has been known to exceed this per- centage, this warning should be a concern for University officials, right? Wrong. This is my complaint. I awoke this morning to the sight of Chan- cellor Eakin on the news stating that he supports this decision and that the primary purpose of the UNC sys- tem has traditionally been to provide a quality education for North Caro- lina students. Thank you for your support, Chancellor Eakin. Unless I am mistaken, the mission of ECU, according to residents, but boasts of a value placed on the contribution of each member of the academic com- munity It is a shame that out-of- state students may pay more, both academically and monetarily, to be equally valued at this university. Chrystin Farry Junior Cytotechnology To the Editor: I am writing in response to a certain letter that was published in the Feb. 9 edition of TEC that was refer- ring to "The Student Section You know, the one that has all the SPIRIT! I am proudly a member of this particu- lar section and I have to say 1 was ap- palled at the comments that were made regarding us. We have heard nothing but com- pliments from the players and other members involved in the basketball games. Evidently there hasn't been much school spirit shown at the bas- ketball games in previous years. Not having and showing your enthusiasm for your team is what gives you a bad name. As for the comment you made about us "yelling obscenities and per- forming absurd hand gestures towards the court obviously you are staring at us instead of the rest of the coli- seum because we aren't alone. When there is a bad call made, we like to be heard, just like the coaches. We are going to defend our Pirates to the end! House Rules! The part that really pissed me off was the part about us being a bunch of "want to be Duke Blue Devil fans Are you nuts? In case you haven't no- ticed we have more then one win in our conference! We are Pirate fans doing what other universities have done for years! Showing school spirit To sum, it up. GET UP! GET LOUD! OR GET LOST Go Pirates! Tracey Myers Sophomore History To the Editor: Let's get these things out of the way first, Ski (Sic. lSicl- You folks put a bunch of these things in my last letter, so I thought I'd save you the trouble this time around. I really wasn't sure about what the heck those things meant so I went looking for somebody with a tie to set me straight on the matter. 1 found myself a covey of "ties" walking from the GC building and put the question to'um all. I'm pretty cer- tain these fellows were instructors cause I had seen all of them around campus at one time or another and said, "Good-momin and they wouldn't speak. Well anyway, this one fellow told me that ya'll put those things in cause I probably had used improper gram- mar and that Sic thing tells readers the original writer, not the paper, is the dummy. It comes from some Latin phrase meaning. "It stands as it is I like that I've been in enough courses where the instructors told me what the author was try'n to say. I also found out this one fellow was OK after all. He told me that as long as I was on campus, he had job security. It made me feel all warm in- side; I like being needed. So ya'll just Sic yourself away, I've learned a little something in a synergistic sort of way. I think the world needs more Sic's. John Carawan Junior Education Dent To the Editor: This country needs a balanced budget and it is quit evident that the only way to achieve this is through a Constitutional Amendment providing for a balanced budget every fiscal year. The bill that is in the Senate now. and was passed by the House of Repre- sentatives recently, requires a bal- anced budget by 2002. This gives gov- ernment seven years to make gradual cuts and reductions without having send the economy into shock with hap-hazard cuts and sufficient inves- tigation into which programs need cutting, and in what increments. W'iy do we need to have a bal- anced federal budget? There are sev- eral reasons, including: crowding out private business, interest on the huge national debt, world financial credibil- ity, and the burden on future genera- tions. What are budget deficits? A deficit is a net loss or operating in a situation where you have more expen- diture than revenues. This deficit is for one accounting period or fiscal year. These deficits compile year af- ter vear on to past deficits to make up the national debt. The debt now in the neighborhood of 4.5 trillion in spending and 1.3 trillion revenues (taxes). When the government borrows large sums from banks, it puts a dent in the supply of loanable funds and drives up interest rates for everyone. This crowds out businesses from the borrowing field. This makes it impos- sible for many businesses to finance expansion or capital growth. This costs many Americans their jobs. Every year we pay interest on the debt, but as long as it is still grow- ing so does the interest payment. Some estimates say that without any changes in current fiscal policy, we could see up to 40-50 of GDP go toward paying the national debt by the year 2030. Now the interest pay- ment is up near 20 of all federal spending. With the problems that are mounting, it is going to become in- creasingly harder for the government to secure loans, and we may come to a point where we can no longer get foreign loans which account for as much as fifth of the national debt. We may soon be in the same boat as Mexico, Brazil, and other financially crippled nations. What does all of this mean? It means that if the current Congress does not pass legislation that requires balanced budgets our generation will be left with a debt so large that up to 90 of our incomes will have to go to taxes, so the government can pay the interest on the debt. We all know that anarchy would come before that. This Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment happens to be part of "The Contract with America and has gotten the typical mistreat- ment of the media and some on the left side of the Congressional aisles. Those who have the courage to for- get about party politics, like one of the co-sponsors of the bill Paul Simon (Democrat. Illinois) and the numbers of democrats in the House, have a chance to join in with Orrin Hatch (Republican, Utah) and the Republi- cans to pass a logical piece of desper- ately needed legislation. Jason Arp Junior College Republicans mini lu ii . .1 Tuesday, February 21, 1995 The East Carolinian Neill faUs In The Mouth of Madness Carpenter's mediocre new film sparks thought Ike Shibley Staff Writer I have long maintained that a mediocre horror film generates infi- nitely more interesting ideas than an even mildly successful comedy. Com- edies lack the daring often displayed in horror films, and they rarely de- velop intriguing thoughts about the way the world operates. After going through a dry spell when horror films seemed all too fa- miliar, John Carpenter, a master of the genre, revitalizes the field with his new film titled In the Mouth of Mad- ness. Though only a mediocre horror film, this film boasts an impressive ability to stimulate thought. In the Mouth of Madness pays homage to horror legend H.P. Lovecraft with a hypnotic tale de- signed to question where the power in the universe lies. If collective thought becomes horrifically similar, the film seems to argue, then the atrocities originating in the mind will supplant reality. The collective thought of the global population stems from the writ- ings of Sutter Cane (Jorgen Prochnow), a billion-selling novelist whose work has been translated into almost every language. Cane's books have caused people to go insane. The diabolical premises of the novels in- vite people in, then proceed to rend their mind. The publicity caused by those unfortunate (weak minded?) souls who are driven to the edge of insan- ity by Cane's work only serves to make book publisher Jackson Harglow (an impressive cameo by Charlton Heston) happier. Harglow responds with aplomb when late in the film John Trent (Sam Neill) implores Harglow to stop publishing Cane's newest book because it threatens to destroy soci- ety. "I know this book will drive people crazy says Trent. And Trent knows because he has just seen the fiery pits of hell promising to engulf the world when Crane's newest book, In the Mouth of Madness, sees publi- cation. "Let's hope so intones Harglow calmly. In that one phrase director Carpenter and writer Michael De Luca damn all the complacent powers of the world that calmly ig- nore potential harm if that harm promises to turn a profit. Harglow represents all the amoral, socially unconscious leaders of the world who ignore the plight of the suffering in lieu of padding their purse. Trent gets involved with Sutter Cane when Cane disappears before his newest novel has been completed. Harglow hires Trent, a freelance in- surance investigator, to find Cane. Trent claims defiantly that he thinks Harglow has staged the disappear- ance as a publicity stunt. Even when Trent finds himself mysteriously transported to the town of Hobb's End, an imaginary town in Cane's last novel, he stubbornly clings to his dis- belief. In Hobb's End Trent finds Cane holed up in a church finishing In the Mouth of Madness next to a door covered by slime and threaten- ing to burst Even with all he has seen at this point, Trent still refuses to admit that anything supernatural is at work. Trent's refusal becomes tire- some halfway through the film, about the same point the plot loses its ki- netic drive. Up to the halfway point of In the Mouth of Madness, the plot maintains an eerie threat of horror that engulfs the viewer's mind. Soon after arriving in Hobb's End though, the plot becomes muddled while the horrid events that threatened to un- fold finally do, only to completely sub- vert the promise of the ominous be- ginning. The slimy creatures lack any real shock factor. Worse yet, they con- tinually defy explanation. Why, for instance, does humanity want to be undone by these creatures? Why do readers devour the works of Sutter Cane if all he offers are slimy crea- tures that mysteriously come from the center of the earth? De Luca and Carpenter needed to work more diligently at creating the atmosphere in which people bring about their own destruction. The reasons are never made clear. and this confusion lessens the impact of the story. Some appropriately shocking images appear in the film (one in par- ticular has a kindly old woman beat- ing her naked husband who is hand- cuffed to her ankle) but not enough to truly shock the viewer. Instead, too much time is spent with Trent while he exists in a state of deniai. Sam Neill does a fine job here, and it is pleasant to see a high-cali- ber actor like himself accepting a role like this. He may become the next Gene Hackman or Michael Caine if he keeps accepting every role he's offered. Jurgen Prochnow also does a respectable job portraying the ee- rie Cane. The actors try hard, but they need more to work with. Horror offers insights and ideas found in no other cinematic genre. For those ideas alone horror continues to thrive. Hopefully the genre has not reached the stag of parody, as suggested in the ending of In the Mouth of Madness, because a lot of interesting ideas have yet to reach the screen. While waiting for the next truly horrific picture, In the Mouth of Madness will suffice to in- vade the viewer's unconscious. On a scale of one to ten, In the Mouth of Madness rates a six.

CD. Reviews Kris Hoffler Staff Writer MM Professor Trance & the Energisers Shaman's Breath As the rave scene slowly evolves, the music changes along with it. The sterile, electronic beats of techno are being infiltrated by the tribal drummings of ancient cultures and strange rituals. Thus we have what is called tribal music, although it is disconnected from the original cul- ture, religion and people that first used it Professor Trance and the Energisers are one such group that is experiment- ing with tribal music. The group's new release, Shaman's Breath, is an ex- cursion into such sounds that they call dance music with a purpose. Since most of the CD is just a steady beat with sound bites, "tribal" sound effects and rhythms, it might prove more revealing to say what they do with this music. Professor Trance is a musical visionary and the spiritual elder of a neo-shamanistic group called The Energisers. Their neo-shamanism is a form of pagan spirituality that em- braces goddess worship from the Medi- terranean and shamanism from South America. In a nut shell you could say that this is his new version of a few old religions mixed with the hedonism of the rave culture and centered around "tribal" dancing that is the path to spiritual gain. They also like to use the help of "teaching plants" in this quest, for the spiritual. According to the band's biog- raphy, this is a religion, not just a scene. The Energisers practice their rituals in 15 countries around the globe; so I guess this is a full-fledged religion. Their rituals are centered around trance dancing and reaching a heightened spiritual state. As far as the music goes, it is based on the modern ambiance of house and rave music. I guess what makes it tribal is the occasional drum- ming and chants that are interjected into the songs at various times. Yet at the same time there are the hum and pulsations of a key board and various drum breaks that are made by machines. It is fairly relaxing and is good atmosphere music for hang- ing out or even doing homework, and it would also serve very well on the dance floor. To this reviewer the music be- comes very repetitive, but i am noto- riously fond of guitars and human generated sounds. As far as dance music goes, I'm sure it would go over well at any club and it could even serve well as an alternate soundtrack for The Lion King. Rave on. Christina Pokrzewinski Staff Writer "A Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great scream- ing bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. Test-tube babies, women in space and Duran Duran yes my friends, we are talking about the '80s. It was a time of great achievements: Sexual harass- ment in the workplace was de- clared illegal: the ill first re- ceived the heart of a baboon, then an artificial heart; the Ber- lin Wall fell, and Live Aid raised millions of dollars for starving people. There were a few ground- breaking legal cases, too: A woman was made to pay her hus- band alimony; the Department of Agriculture declared ketchup a vegetable, and Borden was sued for selling a box of Cracker Jacks that contained no prize. The first recorded Elvis sighting was reported in Butte, Montana. The '80s was a decade of record-breaking. For example, the World Cow Chip throwing record was set at 266 feet in 1981; someone caught a grape in his mouth from 319.8 feet, and Vincent Paxton played the guitar for a record 300 hours in 1986. On top of all those trivial scientific discoveries, the '80s cranked out some of the best mu- sic, movies and reruns ever to hit this country. Is it any won- der that rather than merging onto the information superhigh- way, I choose to lag behind and wallow in an array of tacky out- fits, cassette tapes and Ronald Reagan jokes? You may not even realize the coolness of the '80s unless you are a pathetic person like me; so let me refresh your memo- ries. The Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" and the "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up" commercials first aired in the '80s, and television shows like M.A.S.H Laverne and Shirley, and One Day at a Time (yes, Valerie Burtinelli was famous before she married Eddie Van Halen) aired regularly. The "Who Shot JR?" saga on Dallas attracted over 83 million view- ers, and drive-in movies were still popular for more than swap meets. The early '80s spawned roller disco, break dancing and my personal favorite - parachute pants. Does anyone besides me remember parachute pants?

Nearly one-third of Americans say they've altered their sex lives to avoid catching the disease, and 3 per- cent of adults are avoiding sex com- pletely "People respond to the idea that sex is potentially a life or death decision said Joel A Feinleib of the University of Chicago.

By contrast 12 percent of those with just one partner in five years are doing something different because of AIDS. "Those who are the mo'st likely to change are the high-risk people - those with a lot of partners Feinleib said. The findings on sex in the age of AIDS are based on newly analyzed data from the National Health and So- cial Life Survey, the largest random survey of American sexuality. The study, much of which was, published in a book last year, was based on 90- minute interviews with 3,434 Ameri- cans about their most private acts and desires. The latest data were released Friday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Of the 30 percent who say they have changed their sex practices, the survey found the following: - 29 percent use condoms more often. - 26 percent limit themselves to one sex partner. - 25 percent choose their part- ners more carefully or get to know them better. - 11 percent reduced their num- ber of partners. - 11 percent abstain from sex entirelv. 8 Tuesday, February 21,1995 The East Carolinian DR. RUTH from page 1 hood, she felt she needed to further her education of human sexuality by studying at New York Hospital- Cornell University Medical Center. Dr. Ruth's media career started with a fifteen minute, taped radio show in 1980. One year later it evolved into a live, one hour show which she answered call-in questions from lis- teners. This began the network of communications which Dr. Ruth Westheimer has become a champion of all: books, television, games, home video, and computer software. Under a cloud of heated con- troversy, former Surgeon General Joseline Elders commented that masturbation should be included with public school sex education programs. Dr. Ruth believes that ev- erything about sex education should be discussed, but not necessarily en- couraged. This is one topic that Dr. Ruth will discuss tomorrow night. With all these years in one field of expertise it is easy to assume that if anyone knows it all, it has to be Dr. Ruth; but this is far from the truth. She believes learning is a con- stantly evolving process, where she learns from people she encounters as well as they learn from her ex- pertise. As Dr. Ruth said, "1 have learned how complicated it is to keep a romantic as well as a sexual relationship alive. If there is one thing 1 have learned that I pass on; it is encouraging open communica- tion The type of audience that Dr. Ruth Westheimer attracts today is a more sophisticated one than when she first gained national promi- nence. Today most people are more liberal about tneir feelings concern- ing sex and sexual issues; at least as a nation, we are much more in- formed than we were years ago. Dr. Ruth agrees, "People know more now about sexual issues than years ago Dr. Ruth gives relationship ad- vise to millions of people, from all walks of life. But her message for college students will not be differ- ent from what she tells other audi- ences. "Let no one pressure you into a sexual relationship if you don't want to. Don't rush into any kind of relationship. Everyone has to make sure they wait for the perfect time to have their first sexual experience because it only happens once and it will be remembered for a lifetime 'Speaking Sexually" is Dr. Ruth's first visit to ECU and it will have a different format than many students are used to in relation to an entertainment type of venue. Some ECU student tickets are still availible for three dollars each at Central Ticket office. During Dr. Ruth's lecture, index cards will- be handed out to audience members where questions can be written down and microphones will be set up in the Auditorium where narra- tors will ask Dr. Ruth actual ques- tions audience members have for her. ECU Student stores will also have Dr. Ruth's books for sale at Wright Auditorium the night of the event and there will be a book sign- ing immediately following the show.

Those outfits, com- bined with my Smurf roller skates, made me one of the coolest people in the universe. Ahh, the good old days. The early80s brought us the last installment of truly fun music. With bands headed by freaks like Boy George and Adam Ant, how could people not feel good about themselves? "Video Killed the Ra- dio Star by a one-hit wonder band called Buggies, kicked off the now- legendary cultural dictator MTV on August 24, 1981, and music just got better from there. With MTV came the coolest of the '80s icons. Madonna - not the cone-bra, crew cut. Erotica Ma- donna. I am talking about the "Like A Virgin" Madonna, with her hair crimped, her skirts short and her day-glo green heels high. I used to sit in front of the television trans- fixed, waiting for her "Like A Vir- gin" and "Borderline" videos to come on so I could prance around the living room lip-syncing as though some day I could be as nifty as Madonna herself. I even had the fingerless lace gloves, lace cuff socks, half t-shirts and bracelets all the way up my arm.

The Fixx, Devo and Wall of Voodoo, rocked the airwaves. Just hearing the songs they played makes me feel like jumping all over the living room furniture like an 11-year old. The mid80s brought the new yuppies Volvos and the young masses metal. Remember when Metallica actually sounded like thrash and Slayer was not allowed to be piayed on the radio? Megadeth had not yet been through rehab, and bands like Poison. White Lion and Bon Jovi reigned supreme. We all wore torn jeans, dirty ten- nis shoes and black t-shirts with the metal band of the day's logo printed on it. The metal phase died quickly, due in part to the fact that the mu- sic sucked, and in came skateboard- ing and the groovy tunes that ac- companied it. The clothing got more ratty, the tennis shoes dirtier and the music worse. I loved the Dead Milkmen, Dead Kennedies and C.O.C. That stuff was even worse than the metal, but we all loved it anyway. I saw the movie Grease for the first time in the '80s, as well as such Le Bad Cinema as Airplane, the National Lampoons Vacation series and Stayin' Alive (the ill- fated sequel to Saturday Night Fe- ver, the best movie ever made!) It is these movies I head for at Block- buster, not the new releases. Call me pathetic, call me sad, but I love the '80s and all the crap that goes along with them. The '90s have turned out to be a politically correct, color coordinated, musi- cally lame decade so far.

He averages 8.9 points per game. Pirate freshman point guard Tony Parham scored the first eight points of the game on Saturday af- ternoon as ECU scalped William & Mary, 85-53. "We are getting ready for the CAA tourney Parham said of the Pirates huge win. "We had to get back to the basics - play loose and have fun Beginning the game, the Pi- rates went on a 12-0 run after press- ing the Tribe for both turnovers and fouls. Unable to score, the Tribe finally broke into the scoring column after a five-minute lapse. "We were absolutely hor- rible W&M coach Charlie Wollum said. "It was the worst perfor- mance all year ECU revenged an early sea- son loss in Williamsburg and was led by sophomore Tim Basham, the game's leading scorer with 16 points. The win showed fans and players alike that ECU is ready for the CAA tournament. "This is the first time all year we played to our potential ECU coach Eddie Payne said. "It was the best game of the year. The kids See HOOP page 12 Parham hits big Aaroni Wilson Staff Writer Freshman point guard Tony Parham grabbed the momentum of this game from the outset, taking a charge and scoring eight of the Pi- rates' first 12 points, including a slam dunk. He dominated older high school rivals from the highly com- petitive Washington D.C. Catholic league. David Cox and Kurt Small, the William & Mary backcourt. Parham played his high school ball at Archbishop Carroll, the same alma mater as Syracuse star, Lawrence Moten. "It felt great to play well against those guys because I really looked up to them back in high school Parham said. "I remember when I was a freshman watching those gu play so it feels really good to go out there and play that well Parham was the key to the Pi- rates new pressure defense, creating turnovers by getting in the passing lanes and converting them in to points. Head coach Eddie Payne implemented this new defensive strat- egy after playing a matchup zone and straight man defense for most of the season. The 6-foot-l guard's quick- ness and alert play on the court have made the transition to the new de- fense a smooth one. "We were able to get off to a early lead by not letting them walk the ball up the court" Parham said. "It lets us get back to basics and loosen up and have fun out there. Also, it lets us get a lot of easy bas- kets off of steals He had four steals to go with his 13 points on 4-5 shooting from the field and a perfect 44 from the free-throw line. Parham looked to shoot more than he usually does with backcourt teammate, Skipp Schaefbauer distributing the ball for five assists "I have been getting better looks at the basket lately because people are expecting Skipp and Tim (Basham) to take most of the shots Parham said. "Playing a scoring role Overton wins 350th game See CAA page 11 Pirate baseball coach reaches mile- stone on Feb. 12 Brian Paiz Staff Writer mmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmmmmmmm "I guess it can be described as being proud of being part of a great program. There's been a lot of people involved in the 350 wins and I am proud of all of them Those words symbolize ECU head baseball coach Gary Overton. Overton, who has been, the head coach since 1985, reached the 350- win milestone on Feb. 12 when the Pirates defeated Coppin State. Overton is the 13th winningest ac- tive baseball coach in NCAA Divi- sion I. He has led the Pirates to five NCAA Tournament berths which in- cluded five CAA Championships, and 10 consecutive winning sea- sons. I recently sat down with Coach Overton and talked about ev- erything from Dave Hart to the baseball strike. TEC: What do you think about this year's schedule? GO: Playing all Division I schools for the first time in this school's history enhances our power rating. ECU has always been known as a school that plays a very reputable schedule. TEC: How do you feel about the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) as a baseball conference? GO: The CAA has taken great leaps in baseball since its initial stage. The RPI ratings for the teams in the conference have been in the top 200. TEC: How does it feel when you see your former players go on to the next level? GO: It makes me feel proud. Two of my former players, Pat Watkins and Tommy Eason have ad- equate opportunities to go to the major leagues. Pat is a very special player. He is a self-made player. He's taken his abilities to the highest level. TEC: What are you feelings on Dave Hart's departure? GO: Dave Hart was very good to the ECU baseball program. He is an outstanding athletic director and equally so as a person. We'll miss him. TEC: How is it competing in the recruiting game with other Di- vision I teams in North Carolina? GO: The state of North Caro- lina is a good baseball state. Re- cruiting is very competitive. What we try to do here at ECU is sell ECU'S academic and baseball tra- dition. See OVERTON page 11 Go Pirates! The East Carolina cheerleaders recently placed 15th in the nation. Their performance grants them the opportunity to appear at the national competitions, but not on a paid-for basis. See Thursday's TEC for the story. Photo by HAROLD WISE Women gain CAA crown Hilary Stokes Eric Bartels Assistant Sports Editor After coming back from ten points down on Friday night, the women's swimming team grabbed a share of first place with James Madi- son becoming the first women's pro- gram at ECU to be crowned CAA Champions. "(It was the most exciting meet I have ever seen ECU swim coach and the 1995 CAA Women's Coach of the Year Rick Kobe said. "Both the men's and women's competitions went down to the last event Behind the trio of juniors Jackie Schmieder and Hilary Stokes, and sophomore Melissa Phillips, the Pi- rates were poised for breaking records and mounting a comeback. Schmieder, who has worked hard all season, entered four differ- ent events for the Lady Pirate swim- mers. Finishing first individually, Schmieder took the 1650-freestyle as she beat out teammate Sandra Ossmann and set a varsity record in the 200-freestyle. "We mentally pulled together Schmieder said of the Lady Pirate team overcoming both sickness and nerves. "He Kobe was positive about it We just got in it in our heads mat we would win Stokes set varsity records in the 100-freestyle beating out Fathom Houtz of UNC-W for first place and cashed in on the 50-freestyle, as she continued her successful collegiate career. "It was very exciting Stokes said of her team's accomplishments. "We worked really hard for it This was the biggest thing I have ever been a part of Contributing to the Pirate comeback, sophomore butterfly swimmer Melissa Phillips rounded out the top Lady Pirate qualifiers as she beat Seahawk swimmer Christy Wunderlich in the 200-butterfly. "Last year, James Madison beat us by over 220 points, so we were expecting them to be tough Phillips said. "No one swam fast or at least what we were capable of doing- we just pulled together as a team In relay competitions, the La- dies added still more records and highlights to their prospering season. The 800-freestyle relay team consisting of Schmieder, Stokes and juniors Beth Humphrey and Rachel Atkinson earned a varsity record and first place for ECU. Also, the 400-freestyle relay team added a varsity record guaran- teeing them first place. On the shoul- ders of Schmieder, Stokes, Phillips and Humphrey, the Lady Pirates tied the James Madison Dukes for first with a 270.5-point tally. Other Lady Pirates making splashes were sophomore Bizzy Browne setting the varsity record in the 200-individual medley and fresh- man Kim Field setting a freshman record in the 400-individual medley. "They were a tough team Kobe said of his thriving women's team after they battled back. "It Was absolutely fantastic As the women completed an exciting year, the men were not as fortunate. Trailing most of the conference tourney, the best the men could fin- ish was fourth behind JMU, UNC-W and American. The lone bright spot for the men's swim team came as freshman Patrick Kesler finished second in the 100-breaststroke. Kobe will bring 16 swimmers on the road once again as they will travel to Buffalo, NY to compete in the ECAC Championships on March 2-4. Six recruits join volleyball team High schoolers hope to ease Guttenberg's loss of All-CAA Winters and Laurent cancies to fill at the middle hitter and setter positions with the loss of 1994 second team all-CAA selection Staci Winters and Sarah Laurent. Dori Brain (Columbia, MD - Oakland Mills HS) was two-year letterwinner under the tutelage of coach Kim Rosado. Brain was se- lected to the Baltimore Sun and Patuxent Publishing all-county teams this past season. She will be expected to replace Laurent in the starting lineup at the setter position. Nikia Ebron (Wilmington, NC - Hoggard HS) earned all-conference honors three years under the direc- tion of coach Ron Strickland. She is a three-time Scholar Athlete for the Vikings. Ebron will see action at out- side hitter for the Lady Pirates. Breigh Hickman (Holland, PA - Council Rocks HS) became the first girls volleyball player form CRHS to be selected first-team all-district. Un- der the direction of coach Fred Bauer, the Indians finished second in the league with a 12-2 mark in 1994. Hickman could expect to see action at middle hitter at ECU. Erin Lenker (Raleigh, NC - Sanderson HS) is a three-year letter winner and played for coach Cathy Wagoner. She earned the conference Player-of-the-Year honors, as well as being selected to the News & Ob- server all-area team. Lenker will see action as an outside hitter for the Lady Pirates.

How have they affected the baseball program? GO: I have seen tremendous facility enhancement. In terms of one huge item I would have to say is national credibility. ECU has at- tained a reputation for tradition that is known nationally. TEC: What do you feel your role in the community is? GO: Youth groups are very im- portant to me. I never turn down a chance to talk to the youth. I place the youth above any other speak- ing engagement. I put clinics on for the youth as much as possible. TEC: How do you feel about the fan support here at ECU? GO: I feel it is very good. Fol- lowed quite closely not only in the stands but also in the media. We're also proud of our students. They showed a lot of support for us. TEC: How do you feel about the Major League Baseball strike? GO: First of all, I hope they get back to playing. But we all like to look on the bright side of every- thing, and if the strike is doing any- thing it's that it may put more fo- cus on amateur baseball, but every American will want the major league season to start. TEC: Is there any certain type of style that the ECU baseball pro- gram possesses? GO: We feel that we have a structured approach to playing. As long as players play very aggressive, and play to their fullest capabilities, winning will take care of itself. TEC: What do you feel is the future for ECU baseball? GO: Hopefully we will con- tinue to improve on our established program. We feel we have main- tained tradition. We will try to take the program to the next level.

He is averaging 8.7 points per game and just over three as- sists. His turnover to assists ratio is sec- ond among CAA point guards, averag- ing just one turnover for every 16.5 min- utes played.

She also earned first team all-area hon- ors (as named by the Potomac News) and second team all-metro (Washing- ton Post). She will see playing time at middle hitter. Kristen Warner (Dumfries, VA - CD. Hylton HS) is another prod- uct of the Hylton program.

Her versatility will allow Guttenberg to play her at several positions. "Losing a key second team all- CAA player, as well as our setter made recruiting difficult this year said Guttenberg. "I feel this class will help replace those shoes as well as pressure other starting positions were excited about playing The Pirates slowed the Tribe to 19 first-half points and an incred- ible 0-for-13 from the three-point line during the course of the game. A big factor was Parham's stingy defense of W&M's guard David Cox, who committed five turnovers. The Tribe's big men did con- tribute but were never a factor in the contest. With a combination of both senior Chuckie Robinson (14 points) and junior Vic Hamilton covering the Tribe's Carl Parker, av- eraging 18 points a game, the Pi- rates held W&M's best low-post player to just 12 points. The Tribe, who dropped to 5-6 in the CAA (7-15 overall), never held the lead, and saw the Pirates (6-6 in the CAA and 16-9 on the season) nail down 50 percent from the three-point line. Sophomores Basham and Skipp Schaefbauer (13 points) com- bined for over half of the team's three-point field goals. Basham completed 3-of-5 while, Schaefbauer netted 2-of-4. In the astounding win, the Pi- rates sank 52 percent from the field and 68 percent from the free-throw line, while the Tribe struggled to reach 38 percent from the floor and 65 percent from the charity stripe. With over a 30-point lead and six minutes remaining in the game, Payne exposed the rest of his bench to playing-time. Junior Don Douglas (2 points) and freshman Jerod Cohen (1 point) both saw playing time and scoring opportunities. "It's good experience for me backup point guard Damond Van Weerdhuizen said of his perfor- mance.
