Mike Aresco, ESPN's director of College Sports, and Dave Hart. ECU'S director of Athletics, joined forces at a Tuesday afternoon press conference to make the announce- ment. Pirates on the Street "On the heels of last night's na- tionally televised basketball game on ESPN2, which was the first for our basketball program Hart said, "we are pleased today with what we think is an exciting and significant announcement relating to future television exposure for our football program, as well as a foundation for additional broad-based visibilty for ECU athletics on a national level Months of negotiations ended with the agreement that will secure the football program exposure into the next decade. ESPN and ESPN2 will televise a minimum of eight Pirate home football games over a five-year span, starting in 1996. As of 1996, ESPN will own all rights to ECU home football games. NBC's contract with Notre Dame in football coverage is the only other in the country similar to the ECU- ESPN deal, for the number of games and seasons. The agreement would also sur- vive if ECU joins a conference dur- ing the term. Whatever games ESPN does noi choose to broadcast could be shown by other networks, who would have to negotiate with ESPN. As for regional exposure, such as the Pirate Sports Network, ECU would continue to broadcast above and apart from the new agreement, and could have four to six games televised each season. "We wanted to ensure that East Carolina got the exposure it needed in other forms Aresco said. "Obviously we feel that our commitment is a major one - we are committing to at least one game a year. On that basis, a regional o you think cheerieading should confllaer sport See ESPN page 15 Photo by LAURA JACKMAN Staff members may have noticed fewer parking spaces available. Several have been blocked off due to construction outside of the General Classroom Building. Weather permitting, the construction should be completed within several weeks. When finished, the handicap access will be improved and more handicap parking will become available. Cheerieading debate unites squad Funding is nonexistent for cheerieading competition despite national ranking Michael Mulvlhlle, Junior Yes, because they work just as hard as any other athletic docs. Brian Paiz Sports writer Harper Holscher, freshman No, because you don't keep score and there are no points involved. Lauren Vaughan, Junior Sure, because it is a strenuous activity and a lot of time and effort goes into it. I think it's a competitive sport. Paige Abbott, Junior yes, because I used to cheer and they don't get enough credit for all their hard work. They practice like any other team. Photos by LAURA JACKMAN Controversy once again reigns between the ECU cheerleaders and the athletic department. After failing to go to the national competition on a paid-for basis last year, the ECU cheerieading squad, although finish- ing 15th in a recent national compe- tition, failed once again to gain a paid- for invite. They qualified, but will have to pay their own way to the National Cheerieading Championships in Or- lando in May. The problem is that the Univer- sal Cheerieading Association (UCA). which sponsors the event, will only fund the top 10 teams that qualify. The ECU cheerleaders feel the ath- letic department should help send them, since they did qualify for the event "We are extremely supportive of our cheerleaders in what they accom- plish here at ECU said Lee Work- man ECU assistant athletics director for tickets and promotions. "We try to be fair in our policies and decisions related to all areas of our athletic pro- gram. Unfortunately we can't always say 'yes The cheerleaders' primary purpose at ECU is a student support group for our athletic teams and an ambassador for the University. "I understand that the competi- tion aspect is important to our cheer- leaders, and we are proud that they were ranked nationally The NCAA does not recognize cheerieading as an official sport, therefore, no money is lequired to be allotted to the program, and any money given by the schools is up to them. Interim Athletics Director Henry Van Sant said a decision had not been made about the national competition because he had not yet received a re- quest from the cheerleaders that they wanted to go to the national competi- tion. "This is the first I've heard about it said Van Sant. "I have not received any type of request from the cheer- leaders here at ECU Chancellor Eakin was also un- aware of the situation. "I am in the dark about this situ- ation so I cannot comment, but I am sure I represent the whole ECU com- munity in giving congratulations to the cheerleaders on their 15th-ranked finish in the national competition he said. "1 have had the personal op- portunity to see the cheerleaders throughout the year, and they are a great talent and credit to ECU The athletic department, not un der any NCAA regulations, does pay for travel and lodging to all away foot- ball and some basketball games, and give the cheerleaders allotted weightlifting time and regular use of the sports medicine treatment. "We allow one fundraising project per year for our athletic teams. The cheerleaders are usually given two to help them out One is appear- ance fees, and the second one is the high school competition which they hold in the spring. However, this spring the cheerleaders are not hold- ing the competition Senior Pirate cheerleader David Coates said that he feels the cheer- leaders deserve a chance to prove themselves on a national level, and that the athletic department should be proud to send them. "The way I look at it is regard- See CHEER page 6 Movie sparks controversy . . � .J - - Vw fivct fima Laura Jackman Staff Writer The movie A Reason To Believe stirred up controversy last night, not because of the language and nudity, but because the plot, about date rape, took place in a Greek setting. Over 1,000 people showed up at Hendrix Theater to view the movie, but only about 800 were permitted to stay due to seating capacity, said Heather Zophy, health education co- ordinator at Student Health Services. Due to the large amount of students who wanted to see the movie, it was shown a second time for those who were turned away the first time. Immediately following the first viewing, a panel discussion was avail- able to answer questions regarding the movie and the issues it addssed.

The Greenville Soup Kitchen is now open and taking all they can get. Located on Tyson Street in York Memorial AME Zion Church the Soup Kitchen is now serv- ing. "On an average we are serving about 35 (people a day, but the num- bers are growing said Martha Dawson, a kitchen coordinator. The Greenville Soup Kitchen pro- vides homeless and needy individuals with a meal at no cost. The Soup Kitchen is the only one of its kind in Greenville. Another soup kitchen in Greenville, located on Fifth Street, operated for three years but was forced to close in August of 1994. The ECU Student Volunteer pro- gram, under the direction of Judy Baker, used to supply the kitchen with a large number of volun- teers. After the Soup Kitchen closed in August, it was removed from the program. Since being opened at a new location and under new coordinators, it has yet to be reinstated. An organization of York Memo- rial, headed by Dawson and Barbara Taft, started by serving on Saturdays but quickly found that was not enough. "We felt we had to do something, and the response was such that it needed to be done daily Dawson said. The Soup Kitchen runs entirely from private donations, a fact that both coordinators are particularly proud of. Seven area churches are the source of most of these contributions, along with some help from sororities. Several of the churches have a specified day. On that particular day the church's team of volunteers prepares and serves the food, and cleans up afterward. The organization has even thought of transportation. York Memorial's Church van picks up at Shepard Library on Evans Street and at the Greenville Community Shelter Monday-Friday at 10:30 a.m. "There were 18, maybe 19 people on a 15-passenger van when it left here Friday said Jim Vadnais, resident at the Greenville Community Shelter. The Greenville Soup Kitchen serves people from 11-12 p.m Mon- day-Friday. "We feel we are really doing a good and needed service for our com- munity Dawson said. Anyone is welcomed to volunteer time or contribute canned goods. Con- tact York Memorial between 9:30-12:30 p.m. at 758-6077 if interested. TOHIGHT! Cool Aid V KNOCKED DOWN SM1L1X Here we are! The.

Thursday, February 23,1995 The East Carolinian General assembly experiences busy day Here's the run down of a day in the life of the General Assembly (AP) - On Tuesday at the Gen- eral Assembly: - A House committee debated a proposal that would lift the state prison cap in January 1996 and al- low private prisons for the first time. - Correction Secretary Franklin Freeman asked a Senate committee to approve a bill allow- ing the department to hire private companies to build and operate state prisons. - State Treasurer Harlan Boyles criticized a teacher lobby- ing group for using "scare tactics" in telling retired educators their pension benefits might be reduced. � The House Finance Commit- tee learned that a formula used in a GOP-promised bill to limit the growth of state spending would re- quire the state to spend at least $156 million less in 1996 than cur- rently anticipated. - The House delayed a final vote on a bill giving businesses a reduction in unemployment taxes because of concerns about an amendment that would make such reductions automatic. - The House gave final ap- proval and sent to the Senate a bill that would require Superior Court judges to be elected by districts, not statewide. - The state Child Fatality Task Force recommended graduated li- censes for teenagers, automatic li- cense revocation for underage drinkers who drive and requiring smoke alarms in all dwellings as ways to reduce child deaths. - The House and Senate sched- uled early floor sessions for Wednesday so that about 66 mem- bers can fly to Fayetteville to tour Fort Bragg. - The House voted to reduce the threshold for food stamp fraud felonies from $2,000 to $400. - The House approved an ex- emption for firefighters and emer- gency workers carrying axes or other tools that may be described as weapons from a state law that makes it a felony to carry weapons on school grounds. - Environmental and commu- nity groups called on the Legisla- ture to pass regulations that would lessen the impact massive hog farms are having in eastern North Carolina. Electronically bugged fish stolen (AP) - Largemouth bass im- planted with tiny electronic bugs helped hook a black market ring that illegally sold more than 40,000 pounds of fish, authorities say. State Department of Natural Re- sources agents buried the tiny bugs, which measure about three-eighths of an inch long, under the skin of about 3,000 wild largemouth bass as part of a program to track their growth and movement. The bugs, which give off radio signals to a hand-held box, helped re- veal illegally caught bass from the Potomac River that were being stored in a fish farm run by 47-year-old Den- nis Patrick Woodruff, The Sun re- ported Tuesday. The fish were set to be shipped to wholesalers who would sell them to Asian markets and North Ameri- can restaurants, officials said. Au- thorities say Woodruff and three ac- complices made a profit of more than $150,000. Woodruff was charged with con- spiracy and nine counts under a fed- eral law that prohibits the interstate sale of protected wildlife. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Also charged last week were three men who allegedly supplied the fish to Woodruff. The Potomac below Washington is known as one of the best bass-fish- ing rivers in North America.

Waiting just 90 days, until March 1, would save the state S13 million of that money, but Rep. Sean Lemmond. R-Mecklenburg, told the House Judiciary 11 Commit tee Tuesday that waiting three months would mean emergency paroles for about 1.800 additional inmates. �"You're looking at 1,800 people we wouldn't want back on the streets said Lemmond. who chaired a subcommittee that devel- oped the proposal. "Basically, we decided it was worth the price. LIMIT ONE COUPON PER PERSON EXPIRES MARCH 2 ! Tonnection I n�iX� nf I !RF Division of UBE That's what we wrestled with The state Senate already has ap- proved lifting the cap in September 1996. when the state is expected to have enough prison beds to house all its inmates. But Lemmond said waiting that long would put 3,185 inmates on the streets on parole. "We felt that the Sept. 1 date approved by the Senate was essen- tially smoke and mirrors in that it repealed the prison cap after it was no longer needed Lemmond said. The proposal from Lemmond's subcommittee would do much more than just lift the prison cap on Janu- ary 1. It also would allow private prisons to operate in the state for the first time, would allow contract- ing with counties to build and oper- ate facilities for the state, and would loosen restrictions on the Depart- ment of Correction for renting out- of-state prison beds in emergencies. Under the Senate plan, the state would have to spend no additional money next year on out-of-state rent- als or other emergency measures be- cause its construction program is ex- pected to catch up with prison ad- missions. Several committee members questioned whether allowing private companies to build and operate pris- ons is a good idea. "As to whether private contrac- tors become the primary housers of prisoners down the road, or the state, is something that the cost fac- tors and the market will determine Lemmond said. "The point is giving private facilities a chance Correction Secretary Franklin Freeman told members of the Sen- ate Judiciary II Committee Tuesday that allowing private prisons would let the state's prison capacity ex- pand and contract based on need. it's like an accordion Free- man said. "Once our needs for those prison beds are through, we'll con- tract the accordion The Senate panel is considering a separate bill that allows private prisons. Freeman said the state's expe- rience housing inmates at privately run prisons in Tennessee. Oklahoma and Rhode Island has been gener- ally positive. The state has 1.000 inmates housed in those states, the maximum allowed by the Legislature last year. The Correction Department pays as little as $54 a day per pris- oner in Oklahoma to a high of $78 a day in Rhode Island. Potential prison operators have said they could provide the service for about $50 a day, Freeman said. The state now pays an average of $62.50 a day for medium-custody inmates, the kind of prisoners housed out-of-state, he said. "The reason the costs are high in North Carolina is there are over 30 medium-custody prisons in this state that have less than 100 pris- oners in them Freeman said. Sens. Tony Rand, D- Cumberland, and David Hoyle, D- Gaston, asked Freeman to compile figures that include prison construc- tion costs in the department's per- day cost of holding inmates. "Private companies would be able to do it for considerably less if you built in the true cost Hoyle said. "We should try to get the state out of the construction business of building prisons Both the Senate and House committees are expected to debate the bills again Thursday.

Bill Reger. director of wellness for West Virginia University and a member of the research team, said whole milk is the biggest source of calo- ries in child- hood diets and the second-largest source of satu- rated fats for adults. While 2 percent milk is labeled low-fat. 40 percent of its calories come from saturated fat, Reger said. One percent milk gets 23 per- cent of its calories from saturated fat while skim milk ranges from zero to 10 percent. "One glass of whole milk has the artery clogging fat of five strips of bacon and 2 percent milk isn't much better but 1 percent and skim milk give you all the great taste Silverman said. In West Virginia, health offi- cials say. obesity and heart disease rates are nearly 20 percent higher than the national average. Jim Barr, head of the National Milk Producers Federation, dis- missed the notion that certain forms of milk are bad and said whole milk is important to grow- ing children. The federation repre- sents 100,000 dairy farmers. "They make an assumption that everybody would be better off if they totally eliminated fat from their diet and this is simply not based on any scientific fact they can point to Barr said from his Arlington, Va office.

Last night the trend continued, as the Pirates toppled UNC- Charlotte by a whopping 10 points, But let's not forget about Saturday. Anton and Chuckie need a proper farewell. Well miss you guys! Kudos to the entire Williams Arena crowd for their never-ending support of the Pirates in a losing cause on ESPN2 Monday evening. The national TV cover- age may have slightly-restricted attendance and pre- vented the game from being a sellout, but you wouldn't have known it from the amount of crowd noise and activity present throughout. Although the top few rows of the Williams stands were sprinkled with Pirate fans, all in the arena came alive that evening, armed with ESPN signs and a de- sire to show the nation the true spirit - Pirate style. The Minges Maniacs came out in full force and school spirit, easily discrediting claims by an overly sensitive ECU "fan" (who labeled a certain group of the student section as "absolute goons" and "want-to- be Blue Devil fans" in the Feb. 9 edition of TEC.) This group, centered between the two team benches, have become the leaders of the Maniacs, and should be commended for their efforts in trying to make Williams arena as hostile as possible for the opposition. If the refs (who, by the way, were horrible on Monday night) aren't offended enough by their actions to give them a tech, why should one of our own raise a stink about it? Pirate fever, after 10 home games, finally spread throughout the rest of the coliseum, and made all the difference. Head coach Eddie Payne, although ending up with a tough loss, was able to gain the much talked about "sixth man" -edge from the excellent fan sup- port. Heck, even the people that paid for their tickets were on their feet cheering the whole game. The entire group of fans rocked visiting Old Do- minion players and coaches (along with the aforemen- tioned referees) with deafening cheers and chants, while continually lifting the spirits of the purple and gold throughout - what they are supposed to do, and exactly why nationally-recognized student sections are nationally recognized. Simply put, it was louder in Williams Arena on Monday than it has been for any other game this sea- son. With Saturday's huge match-up with interstate rival UNC-Wilmington looming on the horizon, the fans need to come out strong and prove that Monday's pep and spirit wasn't just a one time deal.

Traffic problems abound The only major complaint I have about Greenville, NC, is the traffic. I moved here a little over a year and a half ago and for the most part I've enjoyed the town. Greenville is a nice, quiet little town, maybe a little too quiet occasionally but overall a pretty friendly place. Unfortunately, the friendly inhabitants of Greenville can't drive. And I'm not talking about just the year-round residents. ECU students apparently acquire this de- ficiency once they get in to town. (I, of course, am immune.) First let me ask a question: Is no-one in this town ever in a hurry to get anywhereThis is my first experience living in a town where the majority of people drive five to ten miles below the speed limit Even the Department of Motor Vehicles is aware of this problem apparently. When I went to get my North Carolina driver's license there were four questions related to minimum speed limits and how driving too slow can cause traffic accidents. There was only one question about exceeding the speed limit and that was about going more than twenty miles over the limit. Somehow I doubt that is big concern here in Greenville. Andi Powell Phillips Opinion Columnist The Emerald City has major flow problems and they appear to be contagious. Another local traffic problem I have encountered is the Stoplight Phenomenon. This is when I am sit- ting at a traffic light behind a line of cars, the light turns green and nothing happens. I continue idling at a dead stop for another few sec- onds before I see the car ahead of me gradually begin to roll forward. By the time the light turns red all of three cars have managed to creep across the intersection. It doesn't matter though, because five more cars follow after the light turns red. It seems that the only time Greenville residents are in a hurry to get somewhere is when they see a red light. I figure it works on the same principle as waving a red cape in front of a bull. I've seen so many red lights run I'm beginning to think red doesn't mean the same thing here as it does everywhere else. From what I've been able to tell, red means hurry, green means go eventually and yellow has no meaning at all. This traffic light thing reminds me of a silly joke my dad told me when I was a kid. There was this guy who was always running red lights. He knew it was safe because his brother did it all the time and noth- ing ever happened to him. One day he was driving along with a friend in the car and he came upon a green light. He slammed on the brakes and screeched to a stop. "The light was green the friend said. "You could've gone "Are you kidding?" the guy asked. "My brother might've been coming the other way Think about this the next time you hit the road: If you drive at the posted speed limits, you won't have to run those red lights to get where you're going on time. And you never know when your brother may be com- ing the other way. Y Repubs want us to pay up Children need welfare reform ��� child is bom unto d an underprivileged ier Rather than face up to the cution of society and the eco- nomic disparity uf raising a child on her own. the mother gives the child up to an orphanage. Hey. the above may have been the to handle the situation dur- ing the times when Dickens wrote the classic novel Oliver Twistnotice I left out the term timeless), but not in ours. These days we have a better idea. I speak for Uncle Sam when I say- keep the child we'll pick up the tab. Need a place to live, food, aiid some threads? No worries, we're the Tax- payers and we've got what you need. If the above angers you just a little, don t worrj you are not alone. The fad of the matter is that this is becoming an all too frequent occur- rence in today's society. The question that arises is: Why?

This belief is supported by num- bers that show that states with higher welfare payments have higher ratios of illegitimate births to mothers who are welfare beneficiaries. As a result of increases of wel- fare legislation and grants during the early 1960s, illegitimacy rates skyrock- eted between then and the mid 1980s. There has been much recent de- bate over the possibilities of institut- ing new policies mandating the insti- tution of government run orphanages. 1 don't believe in taking children away from their mothers and I don't see where society could allow this to oc- cur. Recently Hillary' Clinton argued that she doubted weather Bill Clinton or Newt Gingrich's mothers would have given them up without one heck of a fight. The solution to the problem is simple; attack it at the source. Re- vamp the welfare system. Its time to cease funding For illegitimate children born while the mother is on welfare. My argument has always been: Why try to get something if you can't pay for it in the first place. I'm not alone in my findings, the numbers speak for themselves. Ninety four percent of Americans feel that the welfare system is in definite need of revamping. Of that 94 percent 64 percent feel that we should no longer continue to fund for illegitimate chil- dren born while the mother is on welfare. The lack of responsibility is over- whelming and we should no longer tolerate or pay for it. One of the big- gest responsibilities our society faces is returning the responsibility of pro- viding for children back to parents. According to Wilson, that change re- quires the emancipation of the indi- vidual from the restraints of tradition, community, and government. Americans have always been the kind of people that believe in helping out their fellow neighbor. But, we should no longer be stuck raising their children. You know, this won't be the first time or the last time I criticize one of Newt Gingrich's policies, but this one hits home. Republicans have been known for their apathy toward young adults. When Clinton appeared on MTV in '92, Bush refused to appear on the popu- lar network, not wanting to appeal to a bunch of "teeny-boppers I could go on and debate over the Republican's disdain for the college generation, but that's not the point College loans are important to a lot of people, but the repayment of these loans is a definite problem. I should know, I have a Stafford loan and college would be real diffi- cult without it There are people less fortunate than I who depend on loans to pay for all college costs; tuition, books, spending money, etc. These are all loans that must be paid back in full. For a student who just graduated, paying back the loan can be an inconvenience. He or she may be looking for a job, seeking graduate education, or looking for a place to live. Fortunately, for most loans, while we are in school we are given the op- tion to defer the loan payment until we are no longer in college. The in- stant we leave school, we are then ex- pected to commence payments. I feel this system is a great one, designed to help people pursue a col- lege education who otherwise might not be able to. The usual stringent Larry Freeman Opinion Columnist ���gMMH The Gingrich Who Wants to Steal Our Grace Periods. Stop him, fast! demands for loans are relaxed to ac- commodate college students. One dis- tinguishing characteristic of a non-col- lege loan is interest. In most situations, when one bor- rows money interest accrues on that money until it is paid in full. Anyone who has used a credit card knows what this is all about. The Speaker of the House wants interest to accrue while we are in col- lege. I think I speak for most college students when I say we have enough problems to worry about apartment rent, electric bills, phone bills, grocery bills and. hopefully, a little bit of spend- ing money. For many, times are financial difficult in college. Tuition increases, parking increases and other fees are commonplace. Let's not forget a few "pit stops" at the Croatan can cost a small fortune. For example, say that I go to col- lege for five years, getting a $2,000 loan per semester. Besides paying $20,000 back, I would have to fork over $1,000 in interest The cost of attending college is high enough. I don't want to get into a parti- san debate over this subject but it's a fact that President Clinton is concerned about the costs of college; anyone who saw him during Campaign '92 can at- test to that I know some people are saying, "Criticize Newt Gingrich? Hey buddy, get in line I do not want to fuss about Rep. Gingrich - there are a number of ques- tionable democrats as well. I actually admire Newt for his candor. The guy does tell you what's on his mind. I don't hate him, I just disagree with many of his policies. Were a democrat to offer this pro- posal, i would be just as vehement about it It just doesn't surprise me that the GOP backs this measure. When are re- publicans going to realize that trickle- down economics don't work? Forget capi- tal gains, and worry about the little people, the ones who "ratified" your contract Don't we have enough monetary hardships as it is? You would think a former history professor would have a little more compassion for the struggling college student I just hope that any rep- resentative or senator who doesn't like this policy will stand up for the students. After all. we're voters, too! ISf Letters to the Editor Correction In Tuesday's paper, a misprint occurred in Keith W. Cooper's Forum piece. The sentence which read. "It is beyond mv comprehension as to why women people would ally with powerful corporate interests should have read, it is beyond my comprehension as to why some people would ally We regret the mistake. To the Editor: There's been some concern voiced in the last week about the pro- posed increase of out-of-state tuition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and the North Carolina School of the Arts. Few of the stories and editorials have given a full picture of the facts that support the proposed increase. It was originally proposed by the Gov- ernment Performance Audit Commit- tee (GPAC), the widely-applauded in- dependent ajdit of state government conducted in 1992. GPAC's rationale was that out-of-state students ought to pay the full cost of their education. North Carolina taxpayers may not realized that they now subsidize as much as 25 of the tuition cost for out-of-state students at L'NC and N.C. State, footing the bill for some $2,100 a year for an out-of-state student at UNC. There is no such subsidy at sev- eral of the UNC campuses, including UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro. UNC-Wilmington and Appalachian State University. In fact, those schools actually charge out-of-state students more than the cost of their education. It should be noted that even with this increase, the cost of a UNC edu- cation is still a good deal for out-of- state students - still less than the tuition charged by comparable state- supported schools like the University of Virginia, the University of Michi- gan and the University of California at Berkeley. This budget recommendation is based on the view that the taxpayer- financed subsidy is something our state can no longer afford, given the other pressing needs we face. Those needs include tax relief for working families with children, strengthening the state's efforts to fight crime, re- ducing class size in the first grade and improving direct services for children in their early years.

I first heard the Jerky Boys while huddled in my brother's car last Thanksgiving outside my par- ents' house. Something about the surreptitious manner in which we listened to my brother's tape added a thrill to what we heard. The mate- rial seemed too illicit to listen to with Mom and Dad around. A cer- tain excitement about doing some- thing not quite socially acceptable filled the car as we anxiously awaited to hear what these brazen men would do next My two brothers and I laughed uproariously at the audacity of these two callers. The Jerky Boys would call anyone, in any situation. They called a clinic claiming to be suffer- ing from hemorrhoids and called a talent agency pretending to be the Egyptian Magician. The nonstop barrage of insults spewed by these ' two New Yorkers left all three of us short of breath from laughing so hard. The two men, Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed, who play them- selves in the film, talked to listen- ers on the receiving end of their calls with harsh, brazen impudence. I cannot be certain that the calls were not staged, but the possibility of the calls being real made the com- edy truly stimulating. The thought of these two Jerky Boys really jerk- ing someone around until the per- son finally hung up added the spice necessary to make the comedy up- roarious. Why anyone thought that a Jerky Boys film would be a good idea baffles me, however. Every call within the film is obviously staged and therefore lacks the energy of the tapes. Plus, seeing the callers re- moves the thrill of imagining what might be going on with the poor person on the receiving end of the line. Worse yet is that the writers (helped by the Jerky Boys) tried to fit a story around which the prank- sters could make their calls. They also made a wrongheaded decision to try to fit in routines from their tapes. The Egyptian Magician se- quence is hopelessly out of place. The Jerky Boys call a gangster and get him to think they are two goodfellas from Chicago, working for a don named Frank Rizzo (an- other bit from the tapes). They get to meet with Ernie Lazarro (Adam See JERKY page 10 Photo Courtesy of Touchtone Pictures They'd better hide their faces!

Giants walk the Ritz Mark Brett lifestyle Editor I honestly didn't think this show would be that great No, really! On my way to the Ritz Sunday night, I didn't expect to be dazzled by They Might Be Giants. Sure, they're one of my favorite bands, but I figured their peculiar brand of polka-heavy alternative pop was too studio-bound. I expected to enjoy myself, mind you, but the best I was hoping for was to hear some of my favorite obscure tunes, like "Kiss Me, Son of God" or "Dead Anything more seemed unlikely. Okay, so I was wrong. But before I get to how very wrong I was, I need to give the open- ing act their due. Fresh-faced noise- CD. Reviews "Out of respect for you the two Johns said, "we're not gonna play any bad songs. That's right! No bad songs, only the good ones Meredith Langley Assistant Lifestyle Editor 1 never thought that Belly would be able to top their last al- bum, Star, but their new release, King, is a surprising change of pace for this multi-talented four- some. The album starts off with a rather upbeat song called "Pu- berty Singer and guitarist Tanya Donelly gives us a taste of her abundant musical abilities on this song with her guitar riffs and beautiful melodic voice. Even though 1 enjoyed the song thor- oughly, it ended up being one of my least favorites on the album. "Seal My Fate" shows the band's knack for writing slower songs that explode into powerful choruses with ringing guitars, up- beat drumming and loud harmo- nious vocals. This song also shows Donelly's skill at writing song lyr- ics. "Unholy and dirty words I gathered to me Thinking the point was keep what's mine for me While he's laughing Hear my faith Seal my fate The lyrics she writes seem to just flow along, and that in turn makes the songs themselves flow better too. The third track on the album, "Red follows the same slow-to- fast pattern as "Seal My Fate but it doesn't fall into the trap of sounding just like another song. There were a few moments when "Red" made me think of the song "White Belly" from their last al- bum, but this song has a lot of merit, and is much more maturely written than some of their past pop melodies. "King the title track, is a very fast-paced song that has Donelly's voice slightly buried un- der distorted guitars. It then jumps into a very straightforward, almost standard rock chorus, which makes the song sound a little unorganized. The song does boast a short but sweet guitar solo, and the lyrics are pretty good, too. As the title track, this song has a lot of potential because it has that almost-cluttered sound to it that everyone is so crazy about these days. Currently playing on MTV is the first release off King, called "Now They'll Sleep This song is incredible. It has all the elements of a great song. Musically, the song is well constructed, and flows to- gether very well. The lyrics are also interesting: "Now I've lost the plot I'm not the hero I could be But not the dog I was It's so catchy that after the first time I heard it, I sang it for at least three days. For the most part, every song on the album is well-constructed. Drummer Christopher Warren is a very capable drummer, and his ability shines through on King much more so than on Star. He has this great style that uses a lot of buildup techniques. These build- ups really help the listener know that something big is about to happen within the song. King also boasts a great deal more harmonization than Belly's last album. I hear more backup vo cals by Bassist-Gail Greenwood pop outfit the Dambuilders, despite delaying the show's starting time by nearly two hours, got things off to a snappy start Their skunk-haired vio- linist stole the show with her distorted violin stylings. Capable of far eerier sounds than a guitar, this instrument separates the Dambuilders from the alternative pack and makes them wor- thy of opening for They Might Be Gi- ants, who are themselves nothing if not different Proving just how different they really are. the Giants opened with "0 Do Not Forsake Me This song, a dirge-like number with three-part har- mony on their John Henry album, was delivered with a lounge jazz snap by primary Giants vocalist John Flansburgh and keyboardistaccor- dion player John Linnell.

Feb. 23 The Specialist at Hendrix Theatre (action) Ominous Seapods smell a bit Phishy Brandon Wadded Staff Writer See BELLY page 10 Last week, I heard a track on WZMB from a band called Ominous Seapods. It sounded real Phishy to say the least but it was definitely worth giving a onceover listening. So when I found their new CD, Econobrain, I grabbed it Their sound is not totally jazzy, bluesy or funky; it's all these things combined. One aspect of their sound that cer- tainly made a favorable impression is that it was recorded live. Few record compa- nies will release a band's first effort as a live album because they can't have the producers change the music in the stu- dio to make it sound more commercially appealing. Most likely, in a release such as this, what you hear is what you get That's why I also assumed that their live show would be as good as what I heard on disc. For the most part, it was. The Seapods are from upstate New York and Greenville is the furthest south they've ever been while touring. They're suppos- edly one of the most successful bands on the East Coast However, consider- ing the size of the crowd at Peasant's Cafe Saturday night I think it would be quite difficult to find someone around here who would agree with that claim. The show did go much better after 1 am but this was probably due more to the fact that the audience had a larger amount of alcohol in their system than the show actually getting better. Among the 50 or so spectators at Peasant's Sat- urday night the majority of the people were more into in-depth conversations with each other than checking out the band they paid a 5 dollar cover to see. Overall, the Seapods did not have too bad of an introductory performance in Greenville. Hopefully they won't be scared away from our little town simply because they didn't blow the roof off of Peasant's. Many bands that come through Greenville do not have a pleas- ant first outing and never come back.

This is a great asset on an album because if you like to sing a long in the car like I do. it will be pretty hard to get bored since there are so many parts to sing to. One other great thing about King is that none of the songs sound exactly alike. With both Doneliy and Thomas Gordon playing guitar, both of their sounds shine through. This adds more variety to their songs and shows their ability to put their own creative effort into the band with- out trying to outshine each other. Overall. King is a great album. There are maybe one or two songs that start to grate your nerves be- fore they are over, but I've forgot- ten which ones they were because I got so wrapped up in the disc. 1 highly suggest this album to anyone who is a Belly fan. You will not be disappointed. 1 will admit that 1 was a little thrown off when I first started listening, but I can already tell that I will like King just as much, if not more, than I liked Star.

Brennan called into Letterman last week and got laughs even with his toned-down language. But the film lacks story, originality and acting. Not one aspect of The Jerky Boys warrants praise. The Jerky Boys detracts from the comedy of the phone calls. Ev- ery joke falls flat, which makes the film painful to watch. Despite cam- eos by Tom Jones and Ozzy Osbourne, the film sinks to the low- est possible depths of cinema, thus according it the lowest possible rat- ing.

Brian Paiz Staff Writer Monday night at Williams Arena, the Pirates played in front of a national TV audience on ESPN2, and had the opportunity to knock off the No. 1 team in the CAA in front of a very enthusiastic crowd of 6,865. Then came Mario Mullen to break up the spirit. The junior from Virginia Beach connected on 11 of 12 field goal attempts for 27 points in lead- ing the Old Do- minion Monarchs to a 81-73 victory over ECU. Petey Sessoms added 17 points for the Monarchs, who improved to 11-2 in the CAA and 16-11 overall. "Were lucky to get a win down here First year ODU coach Jeff Capel said. "It is a very tough place to play - they've got a really good situation down here at East Caro- lina with what they have done to the arena The Pirates, led by Anton Gill's 13 points, held a 35-33 lead at halftime, but the Monarchs hit 17-of-23 field goals in the second half to pull away.

The starting second baseman and leadoff hitter is hitting .429 after three games, and leads the team in runs scored and stolen bases. He has also been impressive in the field, committing just one error so far this year. Success has not come easily for Edwards, who waited his turn as a freshman in a reserve outfield role before finishing fourth on the team in batting last year with a .317 av- erage. After a productive summer with the Arlington Senators in a Washington D.Carea summer league, expectations are high for Edwards. He led the Senators in batting (.360) and stole 17 bases. "Lamont Edwards is a player that has paid his dues Overton said. "He was a backup player on a outstanding 1993 squad. Last year, he proved he is a Division-1 hitter. I have every confidence that this year he will prove to everyone as- sociated with college baseball that he is an outstanding prospect for the professional scouts Edwards has the size (6-2, 200), speed and natural ability to play second base. He has good bat speed and a strong arm that he developed playing in the outfield. "The couple of scouts that I have talked to want to see me hit for more power and work hard at my new position Edwards said.

At ECU, it's a real- ity, in the person of sophomore Brian Johnson. While at Beaufort (S.C.) High School, Johnson was a four-year letterman in track and football as a wide receiver. The home-state recruit- ers from the University of South Caro- lina and Clemson actively courted Johnson, but it was the word of an impressed colleague that brought Johnson to the attention of veteran yy Pirate track head coach Bill Carson. Carson was at his first indoor-out- door meet of the 1992-93 season, when he got the tip from a rival coach about a South Carolina senior who could do both track and football. "The coach from University of South Carolina came up to me and said, 'Coach, there's a kid in South Carolina that I think would really fit the nature of your program Carson said. When Carson returned to Greenville, he did his homework on Johnson and made several efforts to contact him, but was not able to reach him that week. Within a couple of days, Carson received a call from the Pirate foot- ball office. They were looking at a com- bination football-track athletc.named Brian Johnson. "Well, a little light bulb went off Carson said. "So then when I talked with Brian, and saw his size, I knew what he could do because I had checked that out. His times and all were very legit 1 knew that he was going to have a good high school senior year Both athletic offices worked to- gether with Brian in an effort to sign him to both sports for the Pirates. "I told Brian if ECU football did not take him, that I would, and give him a full scholarship Carson said. "He could participate in football if he chose to "Well, that's exactly what hap- pened Carson said. "Football signed the primary people. They didn't take Brian - and I did.

Red Man an- glers will be competing for the fol- lowing awards throughout 1995: Bill See BASS page 15 N.C. minor league franchise joins the Internet (AP) - Already one of the hot merchandising commodities in the country, the Hickory Crawdads have become the first minor league baseball team on the Internet- Internet surfers can check out the catchy crustacean logo on the full-color electronic catalog, and download order forms for Crawdads caps and T-shirts to their printers. Wired-in baseball junkies can catch up on team news, trades, schedules and even send questions to the team's management. Still to come: Game statistics, and player profiles, with photos, and ultimately. E-mail souvenir or- ders. "Everything I read says this is the wave of the future in market- ing and merchandising, and we wanted to catch it early Marty Steele. the Crawdads' vice presi- dent of baseball operations, told The Charlotte Observer. The Crawdads. the Chicago White Sox affiliate in the Class A South Atlantic League, aren't the first baseball team on the Internet. The major league Seattle Mariners beat them to that distinction. The Crawdads connection is the latest feature of North Carolina Networks, a service offered through the World Wide Web. The Web is an increasingly popular seg- ment of the worldwide computer network called Internet, which re- quires a fee to access. John Ellis, a Catawba Valley Community College professor, started Networks about two months ago to offer tourism infor- mation for visitors' bureaus in 13 North Carolina cities. It also car- ries advertising, for a fee, for Hickory's furniture dealers and for the upcoming Southern Spring Show in Charlotte. But it's the Crawdads connec- tion that draws the surfers. Before Feb. 2, when the Crawdads went on-line, the most people who had tapped into Ellis' service in one day was 845. On Feb. 6, Ellis, who gets a fee from the Crawdads for providing access to the Internet, got 3,140 "hits See CRAW page 15 �� 14 Thursday, February 23, 1995 The East Carolinian Drug use hurt '80s Mets (AP) - The New York Mets partied even harder than they played in the 1980s, according to former star Darryl Strawberry. In the Feb. 27 issue of Sports Illus- trated. Strawberry says widespread alco- hol and drug abuse hurt the Mets. "If we wouldn't have partied so much, we would have won more says Strawberry, who played for the Mets from 1983-90. "We had a team full of drunks. We'd go into a town and couldn't wait to go out drinking and partying, always asking each other, 'Hey, where you go- ing tonight?' "If we had 24 guys on the team in those days, at least half of them were hard drinkers or drug users. That was a hard-living team Strawberry and former Mets team- mate Dwight Gooden are featured in a cover story entitled "The Dead End Kids Both were National League Rook- ies of the Year, both have been troubled by alcohol and drug abuse, and both are currently suspended from major league baseball. Former Mets trainer Steve Garland said that after Gooden got out of a re- hab center in 1987, the pitcher told him the team had a drug problem. "He talked to me about how preva- lent the drug use was on the team Gar- land told SI. "He started calling off names. He rattled off more than 10 - more than half the team. Probably around 14 or 15. And I thought the '84, '85 and '86 teams were wilder The story traces the downfall of Strawberry and Gooden, who helped the Mets win the World Series in 1986. Strawberry was released by the San Francisco Giants and suspended from baseball for 60 days on Feb. 6 after test- ing positive for cocaine. "It became a lifestyle for me Straw- berry says of his alcohol and drug use. "I played games when I was drunk, or just getting off a drunk or all-night par- tying or coming down off amphet- amines Gooden, who became a free agent last October, was suspended twice last year after flunking drug tests. The sec- ond suspension covers the entire 1995 season. Gooden says his problems started with beer, which led to haid liquor, then cocaine. "If I don't drink, I have no desire to use coke he says. "You could put a bag of coke in front of me right now and I'd have no desire for it at all. Gooden and Strawberry have been treated for alcohol and drug problems, but both have suffered relapses. CRAW from page 13 The Crawdads had the second- most popular logo in all of minor league baseball in 1993 and will fin- ish in the top five in merchandise sold for the 1994 season, Steele predicted. Other popular teams in- clude the Durham Bulls, the Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) Quakes and the Toledo Mud Hens. Under the licensing agreement with Major League Baseball, how- ever, minor league teams get only 9 percent of the revenue from such merchandise as caps and jackets bearing their logo. That s because the minors are piggybacking on the majors souvenir-distribution sys- tem. But the Crawdads keep all the profit on anything they sell out of their own warehouse at one of the Crawdad s Hole stores or through their printed catalog, Steele said. Right now, the Crawdads don t have enough computer power to get on the Internet from their offices, much less accept electronic orders for their wares. Internet shoppers will have to pnnt the team's order form off the computer and mail or fax it in. "But by the end of the season, we'll have our computers upgraded and be ready for E-mail orders Steele said. Basebail executives will be watching the Crawdads' Internet experiment closely, said Miles Wolff, publisher of Baseball America, a weekly newspaper that covers minor league baseball. "If they are successful, they'll have everyone else in minor league baseball copying them said Wolff, who owned the Durham Bulls for 12 years until he sold the team in 1991. "Until the world is a little more plugged in computer-wise, I see this as having a limited impact on the sale of team-logo merchandise to start with. But you never know.

Tim Basham added 12 while guards Skipp Schaefbauer Tony Parham each added 11 for the Pirates, who dropped to 16-10 overall and 6-7 in the CAA, holding fourth place.

Writer's meeting at 4:15 today, not 4:30. tion at second base, lettering four years when he played for Clinton High School. He also earned all- conference honors in football and basketball. Making the transition from the outfield to second base hasn't been easy because of the 30 pounds that he has put on since last playing the position. The weight gain has both positive and negative aspects. "It isn't uncomfortable, but I just have to get used to carrying this weight Edwards said. "I have spent a lot of time in the weight room since I started school here, and it has really helped me to im- prove my power As far as goals go, Edwards doesn't set any individual goals ex- cept getting on base a lot and im- proving his batting average. Areas he wants to improve on are steal- ing more bases by getting a better jump on the pitcher, and to cut his swing down to make better contact with the ball. The double-play combination of Edwards and shortstop Chad Puckett looks to be outstanding because of Puckett's experience at the position and Edwards' out- standing range and strong arm. "I really like playing with Chad because he has played the position for a couple years now, and he is one of the best defensive players on the team Edwards said. "Once we get used to playing together we should really be good at turning the double play. One thing I have to get used to is pivoting and making the throw to first when runners slide and try to take me out. You have to make the tag and throw really fast to get the job done The team was picked to finish fifth in the CAA, a prediction based upon the graduation of the major- ity of the pitching staff. "We are a young team, but we do have a lot of talent Edwards said. "I think we can finish first in the conference because this is a much closer, unified team than last year. Coach Overton is a great coach. He teaches us to play with reckless abandon, and play as hard as we can every inning Edwards began his career at East Carolina as a two-sport athlete, playing football and baseball. At wide receiver Edwards excelled in several spring scrimmages, but base- ball has always been his first love. "I was going to be drafted, but I decided to give football a shot be- fore I was committed to baseball full- time Edwards said. "I think it just takes a lot of hard work to practice both sports, and it wore me out. Be- sides, baseball is definitely my favor- ite and better sport, so I feel like I made the right decision Making the right choices is very important for the information pro- cessing major, and he regularly speaks with young people In the community as a role model. "I talk to a lot of kids about baseball, but I realiy like to tell them how important it is to stay in school and out of trouble he said, if they want to play sports they have to work hard in the classroom and at their sport relays Johnson has had a summer and fall of good health and recuperation to prepare him for his sophomore year. "Over the summer, 1 was just working outlaying lowjust trying to recover from the injury Johnson said. At the moment, the worst enemy of the men's track team is the combi- nation of the cold, wet weather expe- rienced continuously for a two-to- three week period in February, plus the flu is making the rounds with all of Carson's athletes. "Our team is sick coach said. "We've had the flu just rampage through us. We have nowhere to work out I have an NCAA Relay Team right now - but we can't get it there In the past 27 years that Carson has guided the men's track program for the Pirates, he has built a strong reputation for ECU track, especially in the relays. ECU, however, is one of the few Division I NCAA schools with- out an indoor track practice facility; when the weather is wet and under 40 degrees outside, he can't afford to run the health risk of practicing his athletes hard. Once the weather breaks and Carson can get his runners outside, everyone expects a strong effort from the Pirates. "It's going great, really Johnson said. "We're getting real close to quali- fying for the nationa!sand once we get everybody healthy, and get over the sicknesses, we should be able to do it Carson intends to shift Johnson's role in the relays from the first leg to the second leg of a four-man relay team. "I've been using him as the lead- off leg Carson said. "I'm going to switch that. I'm going to lead off with sophomore Lewis Harris, and put Brian second, because I don't think anybody around is going to have a bet- ter second leg than what Brian is, with his speed and the combination "The second leg is just as impor- tant, if not as important, as the anchor leg coach explained. "Brian can take the baton on the second leg, make that cut stay a little wide, don't get dragged down into Lane One, and use his long stride and he'll be very beneficial Considering the problems Johnson has experienced in the past several months, his mind is focused on one area the strongest. "For this year, my main goal is to stay healthy Johnson said. "Through- out college, I want to get All-American - maybe run in the trials for the Olym- pics Johnson, in reviewing his team- mates, has a very balanced view of the men's track squad. "We don't have really one standout performer Johnson said. "Everybody contributeseverybody basically runs the same thing, and no matter who runs the event or what relay, the times will pretty much be the same. Instead of just depending on one person, it's more like a group effort" All in all, Carson is confident that Johnson will carry his part of the load for the 1994-95 meets. "I think that he's going to have a very good year Carson said.

"ESPN is pleased to have en- tered into this multi-year agreement which includes football coverage on both ESPN and ESPN2 Aresco said. "This unique arrangement will provide ESPN the opportunity to showcase quality ECU football and will continue our successful assosciation with ECU athletics By 1996, ESPN is projecting to have a viewing market of 65-70 mil- lion homes, while ESPN2 will teach at least 30 million homes. ESPN2, since its inception two years ago, has been accepted by many cable systems, is currently available in over 18 million homes and is grow- ing at a more rapid pace than did ESPN when it began. "We have a uniform signal, meaning we are broadcast nation- ally Aresco said. "We have be- come, in many respects, the na- tional outlet for college football. What you have now among the net- works is a regionalization, with the exception of the Notre Dame games on NBC Over the years, a combined Thursday-Saturday package of Pi- rate football will be seen on the two networks, with approximately a 50- 50 split on each network. The Thurday night football games are some of the most watched each week, because they are nationally televised. Also, a Thursday night game kicks off the weekend, thereby monopolizing major media college football cover- age in both print and television, until Saturday's games take place. ESPN has major football deals in place with teams in the ACC, SEC, Big East. Big Ten and the WAC conferences. All of the deals have ESPN and ESPN2 compo- nents, as ESPN2 will be covering more football in the coming years than during the past two seasons. 'In looking at East Carolina down the road Aresco said, "there are obviously some very attractive games - Miami visits, West Virginia visits, Syracuse, Kentuckythere are a number of attractive games that we will look at carefully. "We feel that to have ECU as part of that will provide ESPN with quality football and will also pro- vide ECU a chance to show the nation the kind of football it plays l ??TAKE A RIDE ON THE WILD SIDE Attention ECU Students Don't have a car?
