23 W muq Circulation 12,000 March 2,1995 Vol 69, No. 80 The East Carolinian East Carolina University Greenville, N C 12 pases Briefs Around the state (AP) - Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald. a former Green Beret imprisoned for the murders of his pregnant wife and two daughters 25 years ago, says a new book has given him hope that he finally will be cleared. MacDonald wants U.S. Attor- ney General Janet Reno to appoint a special prosecutor to review his case based on evidence obtained by the authors over the past nine years. The book describes alleged bungling by investigators who first responded to the crime scene and documents physical evidence that the authors say was withheld from defense attorneys during MacDonald's trial in 1979. (AP) - Southern Baptists need to recognize the hurt black people feel before they can begin to solve racial problems, says a vice president of the 15 million-mem- ber denomination. Rev. Gary Frost of Young- stown, Ohio spoke to the annual conference of the Christian Life Commission, the Southern Bap- tists' wing that concentrates on political and social matters. Frost is black and a vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Baptists' failure to recog- nize that hurt has helped boost the popularity of the Rev. Louis Farrakhan, a popular black minis- ter whom he called a purveyor of ;bitterness. Around the nation (AP) - Hundreds of guests, some wearing borrowed doormen's uniforms, fled a fancy midtown ho- tel Wednesday after a series of small fires filled the 54-story tower with smoke. No one was seriously hurt. The fires, which were blamed on an electrical malfunction, emp- tied the New York Palace for hours. At least 54 people, including 26 firefighters, suffered minor in- juries, primarily smoke inhalation, officials said. Thirteen were taken to hospitals. Around the World (AP) - Forget Piccadilly Cir- cus, Bond Street and Marble Arch. London subway riders may get off at McDonald's, Prudential and Harrods one day. A plan to raise money for London's subway calls for renam- ing stations - among them some of the city's most famous land- marks - after corporate sponsors, preferably those with a connection to a particular stop. It's an unusual alternative to the ads that already plaster 270 stations. It's also a way for Lon- don Underground, the company that runs the public subway, to cover the costs of modernizing the "tube which 2.6 million people ride every day. But the plan may have prob- lems. London Underground officials have an appointment at Harrods on Friday to present their ideas. But Harrods spokesman Michael Cole said the store doesn't want its name associated with the Knightsbridge station in its present state. Former campus leader arrested One-time ABLE president removed for trespassing Stephanie Lassiter News Editor Just two months after seven Al- pha Phi Alpha fraternity members were suspended from ECU, their president is in the spotlight once again. Demetrius Carter, 21, was ar- rested for second-degree trespassing in Fletcher Resident Hall early last Thursday morning. Carter, who did not return TEC's phone calls, was removed without force from the hall at 12:04 a.m. on Feb. 23. According to Dean of Students Ronald Speier, Carter was found in his girlfriend's room. The official police incidentinvestigation report showed the place of arrest as 616 Fletcher Hall. Carter is no longer registered as an ECU student, but resides in Greenville. While a student, he was active in the Student Government As- sociation (SGA) and also served as president of Allied Blacks for Lead- ership and Equality (ABLE). While Speier could not confirm Carter's suspension, he did say the cause of his removal from Fletcher was due to disciplinary reasoning. "He was not permitted on our campus due to disciplinary reasons, as such he was given a trespassing warning and he violated that warn- ing Speier said. Fletcher Residence Hall Adviser Brian Vetrano said he handled the situation because he had no personal relationship with Carter. Vetrano did confirm that two RAs in Fletcher were former pledges in Carter's fraternity, prior to the fraternity's disciplinary problems which led to its breakup. "I handled the situation because I had nothing to do with it Vetrano said. "To me, Carter did no harm. Just for the fact that he had been banned, he was arrested. He did no harm in the hall, but it's policy to call the police Officer Brett Haley and two other ECU police officers appre- hended Carter for breaking North Carolina statute 14-159.13. "A person commits the offense of second-degree trespass if without authorization he enters or remains on the premises of another. "Subsection 1: After he has been notified not to enter or remain thereby the owner, by a person in charge of the premises, by a lawful occupant, or by another authorized person: or Subsection 2. that are posted, in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of intrud- ers, with notice not to enter the pre- mises Haley said. The second-degree trespassing is a class-3 misdemeanor. As an SGA member, Carter served as the chairman of the Appro- priations Committee. Secretary Millie Murphrey confirmed that Carter is no longer a member of SGA. "I do know that he is not in school right now, but as for his sus- pension, I do not know Murphrey said. "Any student who is not in good standing with the university is not allowed to serve on SGA The police report said Carter was held ir.der S300 bond at the Pitt County Detention Center. Athletic director bids adieu to ECU Dave Pond Sports Editor On February 6, 1995, Dave Hart Jr ECU director of athletics, was named as the new athletic director of Florida State University, and will be- come the 10th AD in school history on March 15. Hart served at ECU since April 1983, when he was hired as assistant AD for marketing. He held the poisiton un- til Feb. 1985, when he became the associate AD for external rela- tions, en route to be- ing named director of athletics in November of 1987. During his tenure as AD, Hart has vastly improved the women's athletics programs at ECU, while expanding the univeisity budget and its studentath- lete development pro- gram. He has also led the movement to renovate all ECU athletic facilities, in- cluding the recently finished Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. Hart serves on numerous NCAA and CAA conference committees, and has penned nationally-distributed ar- ticles for six different publications. He is also a keynote speaker at many NCAA and NACDA conventions, dat- ing back to 1984. Hart recently sat down with The East Carolinian to talk about his fond memories, and his extraordinary ac- complishments at ECU. TEC: What do you feel is the most important thing that you have accomplished during your tenure at ECU? DH: Well. I guess I'd rather I'd say what I'm proudest of-1 don't know if it's the most important or not, but I think I'm proudest of our image in in- tercollegiate athletics, which I think is very positive among our peers. I'm also proud of the fact that we have tried to help our student athletes become better people and not just bet- ter players. I think academically, from an integrity standpoint and from a com- petition stand- point we've en- hanced our- selves in all those categories. TEC: What is important to you to close the ESPN deal be- fore leaving? DH: It really was, and Florida State was very good about un- derstanding my need for some time to thank a I think I'm proudest of our image in intercollegiate athletics, which I think is very positive among � our peers. � Dave Hart lot of people and to tie some loose ends together - that being the most urgent one. in my mind. It was a good feeling too, in our final home men's game to see the place packed and get a big win. That was satisfying. TEC: When you accepted the Florida State job, how close was the ESPN deal to becoming agreed on? DH: We had been negotiating that for about six weeks prior to (the FSU announcement, and we were very close. In fact, I had talked to ESPN literally once from the airport in Talla- hassee about bringing that to closure, so I knew that it wouldn't be that far down the road. TEC: Your name had been men- tioned previously with other AD jobs, what was it about the Florida State job then say, like the Maryland job, that caused you to accept it. DH: It was just a situation where I had made a short list a few years ago, and just told myself unless it was one of the five or six universities on that short list that I really wasn't even in- terested in actually even talking with anyone about a job, but that was on the list and what intrigued me about having those conversations. I've never applied for any other job during my tenure at East Carolina, and I only say that because I think that says a lot about some of the things I've said before this. I had to, as anyone does when opportunities are presented to you, make a decision whether you even want to pursue them or talk to them. 1 didn't choose to talk to too many of those in a serious fashion. Timing had a lot to do with it The timing from a family perspective was good, and the timing professionally was good. TEC: Were most of the schools on the short list ACC schools? DH: No but I'll tell you this, they were all schools in the Southeast. That's a personal thing. I enjoy the Southeast but I was convinced that 1 would stay on the Eastern Seaboard. Florida State was real high on that short list TEC: You have said many times in the past that one of your primary goals was to get us into a football or all-sport conference. How do you feel leaving and not having that goal ful- filled? DH: Well, I feel good about where the total program is.

Taken from offical ECU police reports, i Students head out for Spring Break Tambra Zion Assistant News Editor ECU students are packing their bags this week and heading north, south, east and west to explore America's great wide open for Spring Break '95. Advertisements for packages ranging from Cancun to skiing in Canada have bombarded The East Carolinian for months now urging students go on their vacation of a life- time. "Let me tell you, this is the first time we've advertised down there and we have gotten a tremendous re- sponse said Christopher Bames of Intercollegiate Activities in Fairfax, Va. The agency coordinates a ski trip to Mt. Orford near Quebec, Canada. Barnes said Intercollegiate activities receives 60 to 100 applications a day and at least 10 ECU students are signed up to go, but getting there could be a problem. "If we have enough students signed up at a school we can run a bus from there, but ECU students can drive or a lot of them drive to Washington, D.C. to catch the brew bus Bames said. Students can ride their party-bus and watch movies through the Canadian border, and receive shuttle service to local bars and town attractions including Sumo- wrestling and mechanical bulls. Despite some students' urge to hang on to winter, the vast majority are migrating south for a week in the sun and on the sand. "I'm going with my brother and my father to Myrtle Beach because my father's paying for it and it's free said Regina Duncan, a senior. Other students are traveling far- ther south to America's Spring Break hot spots. "Mostly to Cancun, Panama City, Key West and we've had some going to Walt Disney World said Dale Cockrell of At Your Services travel agency in Greenville. Cockrell said some students have booked trips to go skiing but the ma- jority are headed south. "I'm going to West Palm Beach said Jeremy McDonald, a sophomore. "I'm going snorkling maybe play a few rounds of golf According to local travel agencies, the Bahamas is a popular vacation many students are opting for this year. "I've booked nine students who are going to Freeport said Lesia Irvin of Four Corners Travel Agency. Some students are headed west to get a break from the normal vaca- tion spots. "I'm going camping at Hanging Rock State Park N.C said Heather Serb, a sophomore. "I'm going hiking, I go any breaks that I can And even farther west "I'm going to Dallas to hang out with family and old friends said Jen- nifer Tedder, a junior. "I decided I didn't need to do the Spring Break get drunk, party-on-the-beach this year Students are probably traveling as far as California, but some are not so lucky. Many students failed to make plans, lack funds or have other rea- sons for going home instead of seek- ing a break from the normal routine. "I'm going home to get a job for summer said Lena Gibbs. a senior. "1 was planning to go to Myrtle, but a job's got to come first. I need money Jobs will keep a great deal of stu- dents in Greenville over break, but not too many. Chris Dishman is an employee at the Stop Shop down- town. He said Spring Break is one of the slowest times of the year besides Christmas and the break between second summer session and the fall semester. "It's going to be dead around here Dishman said. He estimates the convenient store loses between 60 to 75 percent of its business dur- ing Spring Break. Recreation services also planned to offer a ski trip to Canaan Valley in West Virginia, but the response did not bring enough students to make the trip possible. "We just needed a little more time to advertise said Steve Bobbit, ECU'S Adventure Program director. Bobbit said Spring Break is not the only time students can get away from Greenville. He said students should take advantage of the variety of trips recreation services offers throughout the semester such as a backpacking trip tc Shenandoah National Park March 17 through the 19. Packages ranging from $90 to more than $500 are taking students to places all over the country next week. Some include the price of meals, but often extras are left out of initial prices. SGA members rally at capital Tambra Zion Assistant News Editor ECU'S Student Government As- sociation (SGA) President Ian Eastman urged members to rally to- gether at North Carolina's State Capi- tol Wednesday morning to protest Governor Hunt's proposed tuition in- crease, during Monday's SGA meet- ing. Seven students, complete with ECU attire, left campus at 6:30 Wednesday morning and joined rep- resentative from nine different North Carolina public schools, Eastman said. He estimated 60-75 students attended the rally, and the numbers got atten- tion. "When you just walk in, you shock somebody I don't think they expected us to show and be able to talk about the proposed tuition in- crease Eastman said. "By going we've set a precedent for students in my three years here, this is the first time I've heard of nine schools com- ing together to lobby Eastman said he learned a lot of factual information by going to the capitol. "We got a lot of press attention said Penn Crawford, SGA secretary. "It's going to be tough.

Friday, March 3 is the deadline for all students to submit applications to run for an SGA office for next year. Elections will be held March 24. Eastman stressed the importance of a March 13 meeting where student legislators would be able to debate fee proposals for recreations services, the transit system, fine arts funding board and many more, for the first time.

Some students lucky enough to find a two-hour parking space in resi- dential neighborhoods around cam- pus are returning to find their car has been towed. Although it is legal to park in the residential two-hour parking spaces. any vehicle left there for more than two hours will be towed at the expense of the owner. "After the two-hour limit, the vehicle must be removed for a mini- mum of one hour said a spokesper- son from the Greenville Police Depart- ment. "You can't just move from one parking space to another "This is not something new. Ever since residential parking has started they have been ticketing cars and then towing them. Usually we are a little more lenient around the beginning of the semester, but by this time of year we are not According to the police depart- ment, the two-hour time limit begins once the tire has been marked with chalk. If the vehicle is not removed within that time frame, a city park- ing violation will be issued and the parking officer will then call a tow- ing company to have the vehicle re- moved. If the car is towed Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m the towing fee is approximately $40. If the vehicle is towed after 5 p.m. or any hour dur- ing the weekend, the towing fee in- creases to approximately $50. Add the $10 police administrative charge and another $10 for the parking ticket, and the price of a commuter sticker might look better and better. According to the Greenville po- lice, 15 wrecker services are used. With so many services used, the price of the tow will vary. "My car was towed for being parked too close to a neighbor's driveway, but it wasn't blocking it said ECU student Kathleen Snyder. it cost $100 to get the car out of tow plus $10 for the ticket Students already frustrated with the campus parking situation are finding the latest round of off-cam- pus crackdowns equally frustrating. "If there wasn't such limited parking spaces right now, then stu- dents wouldn't have to park in resi- dential areas said elementary edu- cation major Livia Ritch. I think it's ridiculous that they have to give you a ticket and tow your car, they should either just ticket it; or tow it Students who live in a residen- tial area and wish to park their car on the street must obtain a permit A in order to park there continuously. This permit can be obtained by get- ting written verification of their resi- dence from their landlord.

A total of 144 cans were collected from boxes that were put out at various residence halls, sorority houses and in front of The Student Store, to benefit the Greenville chapter of the Salvation Army. "If people want to see things hap- pen, then we all have to contribute said TKE president Brian Marsicovetere. "We originally wanted to help the Greenville Community Shelter but when we called them they told us they were all filled, so that's when we decided to call the Salvation Army he said. And the Salvation Army was happy to accept the donation. "During the month of February, we helped 301 people, including families, single men and women said Teresa O'Neal, family ser- vices director for the Salvation Army. "Any donations are appreciated she said. Upon receiving the cans, the Salva- tion Army stores them in their food pan- try. When individuals or families come in hungry, their application is taken or if they are a returning recipient their files are updated and a food box is prepared for them. The food boxes usually contain two balanced meals, consisting mostly of a cereal for breakfast and a lunch or din- ner, which is comprised of a chicken (which the Salvation Army provides), canned vegetables and fruits. The Salvation Army also accepts donations in the form of clothing, furni- ture and household items. "Those types of things go into our thrift store O'Neal said, which is located behind the admin- istrative office on Dickinson Avenue. In addition to proving these types of aid. the Salvation Army also helps "people get back on their feet" by pro- viding he.p with rent and utilities for a month, O'Neal said. Recipients must pro- vide official documents to receive the aid and "we usually work on an emergency basis for those types of cases Monetary donations are also ac- cepted. "Anyone can donate anything, anyday and anytime she said. There is a drop box located outside the office for use during the time the office is closed. In the meantime, the TKEs are hop- ing to make this event an annual one. "We used to do this in the past but this is the first time we've done it in a while Marsicovetere said.

"The tuition payment plan that we installed this year, out of 30 schools, that was something that looked really good. Another thing, is that we're the only ones that have a voice on the board of trustees Dale Emery, SGA speaker said that ECU ranks well above and well below some of the other schools who attended the conference.

" 'J.LLI.J Jlli.J. MnnHsmtMff i. Thursday, March 2,1995 The East Carolinian Our View Dave Hart Jrs extraordinary accomplishments have helped turn ECU into a much-respected school. As an administrator, a fan and a friend, ECU will miss him dearly. We wish him the best, which is exactly what he has given this university. ECU has always been at a disadvantage in selecting the best athletes in North Carolina and the country, because of the prestige of our 'RTF schools (State, UNC and Duke). How- ever, it has always been in the best interest of our former Ath- letics Director Dave Hart Jr. to raise the popularity of our school through our sports teams. From the time he took office in December 1987 until he accepted the athletics director job in Florida State this year. Hart has always moved the ECU athletics program forward. He has been involved in improving and renovating the ath- letic facilities for the athletes: Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, Will- iams Arena at Minges Coliseum, Harrington Field and the Ward Sports Medicine Building. Hart's involvement at the national level has helped ECU become a school that is serious about its image. He stressed the importance of a good education by structuring the Stu- dent Development Program for all athletes. He has also par- ticipated in several NCAA committees. In fact, in January 1994, he was appointed to the presti- gious NCAA Council. Hart's involvement in the NCAA Special EventsPost Season Bowl Committee, chairing of the CAA Marketing Committee, and service on the CAA Gender and Equity Committee has made him a very recognizable leader in athletics throughout the nation. From the end of the '80s until now, ECU is a school on the rise. Our first taste of popularity came when the 1991 Peach Bowl team completed a miraculous season by overtaking State. Most of the fame that ECU gathered can be attributed to the work of Hart and his staff. His experience and expertise in marketing has led ECU and the Greenville community to great revenue gains. Since leading the athletics department, Hart has implemented several innovative campaigns including, the "Great Pirate Purple Gold Pigskin Pig-Out Party" surrounding spring football and "Ain't It Great to Tailgate which brought back the spirit of tailgating and thousands of fans from Greenville and eastern North Caro- lina to enjoy Pirate football. Not only has football become a tremendous asset to ECU, but other sports have experienced success. Both Pirate swim teams continue to have near-perfect records; the baseball team has ap- peared in the College Baseball World Series playoffs in 1990, '91, and '93; the women's soccer program was added this fall to the list of competing I-A sports- and the men s basketball team made their first appearance in the NCAA tournament in 1993 after a 21-year absence. Before his departure, many thought that Hart would want to stick around to find out whether ECU would get into a confer- ence. Well, he played out his role. He laid the foundation for our athletics program to excel - he created a tradition, like that of Carolina, Notre Dame or Alabama in sports. It should be in our best interest to carry on that winning tradition on and off the field and to preserve ECU as a college of the '90s and beyond. Hart definitely was the man for the job. His insight and for- ward thinking created a great atmosphere at ECU, and his depar- ture to Tallahassee will leave a enormous space for the Selection Committee to fill. We at TEC would like to wish the best to Florida State's new athletics director, and hope that he returns soon - on our oppos- ing sideline (maybe in a conference game).

Who Our nation's debt ballooned in the 1980s. Presently 16 percent of our tax dollars go toward interest pay- ments on this national debt. Clearly our government must control this deficit spending. The question sim- ply is who should pay for it The new Republican Congress is proposing massive cuts in health, safety and environmental programs. This new majority is pushing forward with ending interest exemptions for student loans. They are targeting nutrition programs and Aid for Fami- lies With Dependent Children. The Republicans also explain that deregulating large businesses not only lowers the cost of government, but lowers the cost of doing business as well. Adam Smith, the father of mod- em capitalism, offered us some sage advice on this topic in The Wealth of Nations. The interest of the deal- ers in any particular branch of trade or manufacture is always in some re- spect different from, and even oppo- site to, that of the public. The pro- posal of any new law which comes from this order ought always to be listened to with great precaution This almost seems like an invita- tion to examine this year's congres- sional agenda. On one hand, the G.O.R is cutting environmental and safety regulations in the name of sav- ing money. On the other, they are continuing to subsidize logging opera- tions on federal lands by large corpo- rations. If waste is the standard for � �� �����; ���� Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist There is no shortage of surveys showing voters feel Washington out of touch is cutting federal programs, then below cost timber sales should be at the top of the list. If cutting spending is the primary goal, it seems curious to cut regulation on big business and not their subsidies. Our nation must reduce the amount of money it borrows. It is somewhat perplexing to hear many in the Republican leadership talking about cutting the Capital Gains Tax. This seems to clash with the official party line that sacrifice is necessary to reduce the deficit. This tax cut would put more money in the hands of those who own stocks and bonds. It seems unfair that people who work for a living must pay taxes on their income, while those who reap money on stocks and bonds would not "un- der this G.O.P. proposal. There seems to be more than just deficit reduction going on here Common Cause, an organization that monitors lobbyist and campaign finance reform, reported the opening day for the 104th Congress was the most expensive for lobbyists in United States history. A report released ear- lier this month showed corporate lob- byist spent more on Capitol Hill in the- past forty-five days than any othe�- comparable period. While th middle-class and poor are being hhj by massive cutslarge business seems to be magically escaping them; Many Republican strategists are still urging the embrace of "trickle- down economics the idea that if we. give rich people more money, it will trickle down to the rest of us through investment. This did not work in the 1980s. Middle income wages actually decreased. Tax cuts for the rich only; contributed to the massive debt wei are dealing with now. The standard? for Republican cuts appears not to be. just deficit reduction, but also maxi mizing corporate profits. There is no shortage of surveys showing voters feel Washington is ouf, of touch with their needs. The nevf congressional majority should hee� these numbers and distribute the costs of deficit reduction fairly. Since the middle class and poor are ex- pected to take a hit, we can only an pect the rich to sacrifice as well.

Mid-term draws stress As the semester rolls down, many students rush to type papers, complete projects and study for mid-term exams. As the clock ticks away, every hour, minute and second becomes moie valu- able. The work load becomes stressful as students try to complete assignments for every class the night before the due date. Good rest is one way you can mini- mize your stress level. Rest provides us with the means of revitalizing ourselves to meet the challenges of exam week. Stress imposes a tremendous drain on us and hastens fatigue. When you de- cide to take a study break rest your body. Do something that you enjoy doing. The main purpose of rest is to reduce ten- sion so that your body is able recover from fatigue. It is not a good idea to study for two hours straight You are more likely to forget majority of the ma- terial that you have studied. Why study if you are going to forget a large amount of the material? Sitting in a chair drink- ing a coke (or beverage of your choice), with your eyes closed, may make a dif- ference for you. You will feel more re- laxed and ready to start on your stud- ies again. The real effectiveness of rest periods depends largely on your ability to rest Students under severe stress may find this very hard to accomplish. Sleep is another important element 'Lijmiij����ill i Angela McCullers Opinion Columnist Many students like to put things off to the last minute and tasks pile up. in minimizing stress. It is only during this time that the body is given an op- portunity to revitalize itself. The re- peated loss of sleep over a period of time can be dangerous. It is the loss of sleep night after night that leads to chronic fatigue. The effects of sleep loss are likely to result in nervousness, irri- tability, inability to concentrate, lowered perseverance of effort and serious fa- tigue. You may need a form of relaxation in order to relieve the stress of mid- term exam week. Learning to relax is a skill. It is a skill that very few stu- dents practice. One of the first steps in learning to relax is to experience tension. A person has to be sensitive to tensions that exist in his or her body. This sensitivity can be accomplished by voluntarily contracting a group of muscles, first very strongly and then less and less strongly. Controlled breathing makes it easier to relax and is most effective when it is done deeply and slowly. Time management is also impor- tant Many students like to put things off until the last minute, and as a con- sequence, frustrations can build up as tasks pile up. There is a need to sort out those tasks in order of importance and attack them one at a time. Manag- ing time can alleviate procrastination, which in itself can be a stress-causing factor. Make out a time chart for every class and determine how long you are going to study for each one. There is no way anyone alive will avoid stress completely, but there are things that can help us cope with it. The effecfs of stress upon people are real and important Stress disrupts per- formance for most people. It has always affected people, and its effects have generally been bad. Stress not only af- fects students, but people in all occu- pations. It can affect our decision mak- ing processes as well. If you think mid- term exams are stressful wait until you get into the real world. Good luck. Last November's elections sent a clear message: The nation has come to realize that the Republican Party is better prepared to lead America into the next century. Still in the denial phase, however, the Democrats are trying to regroup. Comical is how silly they look each time they try to de- bunk future Republican plans. Example: Soon after the GOP proposed cutting funding to PBS, the Democrats organized a press confer- ence where a Democratic representa- tive proudly displayed puppets of Sesame Street characters Big Bird and Ernie. Democrats then pro- nounced to the world that the cruel and heartless Republicans wanted to take away Barnie et al from our chil- dren - BOO HOO. The Dems failed to mention the obvious fact that Big Bird and crew are millionaires who do not need taxpayer support to survive. Never mind facts, say the libs, we want emotions! Proposed streamlining of govern- ment through dropping federal con- trol of school lunch programs has now suddenly turned into the Republican starvation of America's youth. Bleed- ing heart limousine liberals were quick to jump on that one. Allow me to say that Republicans do not want to take food out of school kids' mouths. The GOP wants to save money and permit the states to handle the food dispen- sation. Another recent development is the plan to drop the federal mandate Steven A. Hill Opinion Columnist Desist in my efforts I shall not, until that certain professor is a card-carrying member of the NRA that requires employers to hire people on the basis of skin color, not merit. Of course the Democrats have sub- jected us to their usual cacophony of lies that says Republicans are racists, which of course is not true. Race quota advocates are the big- ots. Race quotas assume that blacks and other minorities do not have the right stuff to make it in the competi- tive marketplace. Not only is the lat- ter insulting, it lends credence to those who buy into theory that mi- norities are genetically incapable of achieving intellectual development. Regretfully, most people who es- pouse the benefits of race quotas do not see the light until they have been denied a job or promotion because they were not the right color. And finally there is Public Radio that haven for liberal news commen tators. Although they receive taxpay ers money, every year they hound lis- teners over the radio waves for more handouts. Not only do they nearly come to tears on the radio at this time, commentators get downright pushy by- demanding listeners have an obliga- tion to send more free money. Each; year I call them and remind them of my donation came in the form of the welfare check they received from' Uncle Sam. In conclusion it is quite obvious that the Democrats are not- so adroit propagandists. Wake up my liberal friends, the party is over. No more will Ameri- cans fall for your wishy-washy bleed- ing heart sob stories. Stop your belly aching and join the Grand Old Party. It's time to end the rhetoric of vic- timization and get to work. Make America strong and vote Republican in 1996. Before ending this dose of hope, I must acknowledge the information that members of my cult following have sent to me: "One liberal science professor is going bonkers over my articles Too the point of devoting nearly an entire class session to my journalistic prowess! My response to the confused leftist: Libs are people 'J too. I will continue to be a voice in the wilderness for those leftist trapped in the world of make believe.

The Ballad of Doctor Richardson, a "drawn novel" by Paul Pope, is the kind of book all comics fans should be pushing on their friends. The problem with the more mainstream "comics for adults" efforts is they're all basically fantasy. If you're not into sci-fi or horror, it's hard to find a comic that's to your tastes. That's understandable, I suppose; those genres lend themselves rather easily to comics, and the majority of American comics have always been a bit fantastic. But not Doctor Richardson. No, here Pope has crafted a romance. And not a bosom-heaving, cliched Harle- quin-type romance, either; these char- acters are real, and there's not a Lance or Bianca in the bunch. Which is not to say there are no exotics in the cast Doctor Richardson offers a black Cajun jazz player called King Kush (a stage name) and a mys- terious night club owner whose face is covered in bandages (ala The Invis- ible Man.) But these are only background figures, used to paint the story in more vibrant colors. The main characters are all too real. The title character, Dr. Richardson himself, is an art his- tory professor uneasily approaching middle age and bucking too many trends in the publish-or-perish world of academia. Intelligent and articulate, Richardson is a rebel, taking chances in what is essentially a bloodless pro- fession. Into his sad, quietly swashbuck- ling life comes Noel, a former student of Richardson's who quit school be- cause "it was getting in the way of learning After a chance encounter on the subway, Noel invites Richardson to dinner. He declines, but Paul Pope has crafted a romance. And not a bosom- heaving, cliched Harlequin-type romance, either. changes his mind at the last minute, leaping from the train just as it pulls away from the platform. This action defines Richardson's character. He's a risk-taker who has settled into a decidedly unrisky pro- fession. His instincts have been dulled by his life in academia; he takes ac- tion when needed, but sometimes only at the last minute. His attraction to Noel gives him the reason he needs to enter the real world and take real risks. And Noel herself is well-worth the good doctor's attentions. A musician, Noel hears music in her head that no existing instrument can duplicate. To compensate for these frustrated artis- tic urges, she is in the process of cre- ating her own instrument from the remains of others. A free spirit (much like Richardson) who sees music in everything, Noel is well-known in the club scene that her new paramour trails her through for the rest of the novel. Here Richardson's risk-taking comes to the fore. After dinner, he initially decides to end the evening and let Noel go off into the night. Soon after she goes through the door, however, he realizes she's left behind her most prized possession: a print of Caravaggio's painting "The Martyr- dom of St. Paul" (whether N I did this intentionally or not is left open to the reader; a nicp touch on Pope's part). Chasing after her, Richardson follows Noel around the city and fi- nally finds her with help from the aforementioned King Kush, who in the epilogue writes a song about Richardson's quest called, appropri- ately enough, "The Ballad of Doctor Richardson 1 won't tell you what happens next. For that, you'll have to read the book. Paul Pope has managed a rare thing here. The Ballad of Doctor Richardson is romantic without be- ing schmaltzy, thematically rich with- out being dry, and well-suited to the comic book form without being filled with space ships and spandex. It might be a little hard to find, but this book is well-worth the effort. As a comics fan, I often despair that the medium will never be allowed to grow up. But with stuff like The Ballad of Doctor Richardson, comics may prove to be a viable adult medium yet. A Glimpse of the Future Photo Courtesy Lipphardt Advertising And they're off!

And if you get any great pictures, give us a call! Dr. Richardson asks a central thematic question while looking for his potential new lover in The Ballad of Doctor Richardson, a romantic novel in comic book form by Paul Pope. T-ifL Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor "A Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be. a very tiny drop in the great screaming bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. "Here's a story about a man named Brady I've always thought that would make a great opening line for a folk ballad of some sort You know, "Mike Brady was a steel-drivin' man" or some- thing. But no. The above quote is, of course, the opening line of a sitcom theme that's sort of become like a folk ballad, I suppose - the theme from The Brady Bunch. Remember the Bradys? The fam- ily with sue kids and a vuguely disturb- ing sexual tension? Sure you do. How could you forget them with the inces- sant reruns and the media blitz for their new movie sweeping the globe? And speaking of that particular cinematic treat, I must admit that I've been one of the Brady nay-sayers. I would rather endure having my toenails removed with a pair of tweezers, I've said, than see the Brady movie. But it hasn't always been that way. When I was a kid, I was lost in Brady lore. I loved The Brady Bunch. With their sexless union and middle-class capitalism, they were American to the core. Jan's braces, Greg's Groovy Pad, the kids' atrocious singing career, what- ever adversity life threw at them, the Bradys persevered. And the Brady's traveled! Who can forget those classic Brady vacation out- ings? The Grand Canyon Adventure, where Jim Bakkus stole the Brady Wagon! The Exotic Hawaii Trek, where the boys found the Evil Tiki Doll! Tour- ism is the last gasp of the American Frontier Spirit, and the Bradys were the greatest tourists of their day. Of course they were. They had to be. The Brady Bunch represents the ultimate in cheesy American family sitcoms, and the Brady family is the ultimate in cheesy American sitcom families. The Cunninghams, the Cleav- ers, the Huxtables, none of them had anything on the Bradys as far as hap- piness goes. Of course, when your big- gest problems are that Marcia gets a swelled head or that Peter's voice is breaking, it's pretty easy to be happy. Still, nobody handled their fictional lives as well as the Bradys. But there's something that I find curious about the Brady's current suc- cess. At 26,1 can just barely remember watching The Brady Bunch in their original run, Friday nights on ABC. 1 got the afternoon reruns when they were as current as The Simpsons is now. But a great majority of this cam- pus was bom well after the Bradys were off the air and probably only re- members repeats seen 10 years after the fact What sinister power do the Bradys hold over America? How have they survived so long? Let's look at the facts. The Brady Bunch endures in a syndicated repeat market that's seen both MASH and All in the Family (Brady contemporaries in their early seasons) fade away. There are kids out there right now watching Brady repeats in homes across America, discovering the horrors of Marcia's broken nose for the first time. That's right, they're getting into the heads of yet another generation! Like it or not, the Bradys are here to stay. But 1 ask again, why? Because the Bradys were kind, they were lov- ing, and most importantly, they were happy. And that's something America thinks it needs. It's all a lie of course, a horrible, hurtful lie that no real family could ever hope to live up to. But it's com- forting, to some, to think that we could try. My eyes are open now, though, and I neither have nor want the Brady life. It's an impossible perfection that, even if I could achieve it, would take too much effort to maintain. Still, it's fun to think back to the days when I believed in the myth. And that's the way we became The Brady Bunch Tom Thumb revisited Photo courtesy College Press Service This strange little man and his tiny clay pal (along with other, even more bizarre char- acters) can be seen in the new animated film, The Ad- ventures of Tom Thumb.

My favorite line in this song has to be "Sugar screams for me to taste her and I'm losing me There's even a groovy little instrumen- tal in the middle of the song for those of you who can't stop dancing. The song "Too Beautiful" is full of distortion, which gives it an inter- esting twist. It's very danceable, and Larry's vocals and Brian Erskine's drum beat pull the song together and give it some order. The chorus on this See MOON page 7 Sinister animated fairy tale comes to U.S. screens (CPS) Bristol, England, hardly strikes one as the Mecca for European animation. The scenic seaport about 100 miles from London, is known primarily, if for anything, as a center of electronics manufacturing. But the past few years have seen an influx of adventurous young animators who have rethought and ad- vanced the art with such superior experi- mental works as the Oscar-winning Crea- tures Comforts, the video for Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and The Se- cret Adventures of Tom Thumb. The latter, now playing around the United States and seemingly destined to become a cult classic is an eerie and perverse post-punk fantasy where the past meets the future. Mixing human ac- tors with minutely detailed, stop-motion latex puppets, the film's strange images recall Eraserhead with bits of Brazil. Pinocchio - even, in the bom-again fi- nale. 2001: A Space Odyssey.

He escapes with the help of one such creature and finds other "little people" such as himself living a medieval exist- ence in a toxic dump. He's taken in by Jack - as in Jack the Giant Killer - a fearless and formidable 6-inch termina- tor who dresses like Robin Hood and is determined to fight back against the en- croaching "giants Despite his mistrust of the giants, Jack helps Tom reunite with his grieving father. But more tragedy follows, and Tom must eventually return to the iab to confront the energy source of the evil scientists. Surreal and unsettling imag- ery abound - a caged rat wearing high heels, Santa Claus on a crucifix, insects in every shot and crawling up walls. Tom himself looks like a sad-eyed Mr. Potatohead in a yellow jumper. To top it off, the musical theme is by none other than John Paul Jones, though not the score you'd expect from a former mem- ber of Led Zeppelin. What's the inspiration for such creepiness? Drugs? Nightmares? Too many episodes of Land of the Giants Actually, it was the BBC. says writer directoreditor Dave Borthwick. His 60- minute oddity began life as a 10-minute pilot short for television. "The BBC has made a commitment to expanding its animation division he says. "They were looking for a high-impact fairy tale, and the 10-minute 'Tom' intrigued them enough to put up the money for an ex- panded feature Borthwick. a longtime stop-motion artist who cut his teeth animating Gl Joes in his basement made Tom Thumb us- ing a technique called "pixilation Tom, Jack and other creature models are made of latex skin and foam flesh over detailed metal replicas of the human skeleton. The human actors, meanwhile, are animated frame-by-frame by staying in position between takes before making incremen- tal moves.

This kept the energy level high, because it was such a long shoot Even after a year and a half, the last day of filming was as fresh as the first" Borthwick, thrilled by the critical and commercial response to his maiden full-length feature, is gearing up for a new project that promises to be just as bizarre - and just as numbingly slow to complete. "We animators are a weird lot even among filmmakers he acknowledges. "People wonder why we do it put so much time into moving puppets a frac- tion at a time.

It is very slow and dramatic sounding with a rolling drum beat that makes the song flow in an almost poetic fashion. There are many other guitar effects in the background that give the song an almost eerie sound. It also sounds like Larry's singing in an echo chamber rather than in a re- cording studio.

The CAA tournament tips off Sat- urday in Richmond Virginia with four games slated. At noon EST, top-seeded Old Dominion (17-11.12-2 in CAA) face the eighth-seeded George Mason Patri- ots (7-19. 2-12). ECU begins a quest to capture their second CAA title in three years when they take on the fifth-seeded American Eagles (8-18,7-7). The evening session begins at 7 p m when No 2 seed UNC-Wilmington (16-10, 104) battles Richmond (3-11,7-19), who will be play- ing on their home court throughout the tourney. The first round concludes at 9:30 p.m. as Lefty Drisell and his third-seeded James Madison Dukes (14-12,9-5) try to defend their CAA crown against six-seed William and Mary63, 8-18). Here's a look at Saturday's first-round matchups: 1 Old Dominion vs. 8 Geoige Mason The 12-2 conference mark in the CAA is the best in school history for Old Dominion since the 1982-83 season when the Monarchs were a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Old Dominion is led by junior Petey Sessoms, who is averaging 22.1 ppg and 8.3 rpg, good enough for second in the conference. The Monarchs also lead the CAA in steals as a team, averaging 10 a game. George Mason will try to prolong what has been a disap- pointing season for second-year coach Paul Westhead's club. The only bright spot for the Patriots has been the emer- gence of sophomore Nate Langley. Lan- gley leads the CAA in steals and is third in scoring (19.4 ppg) as a rookie of the year candidate. Old Dominion won both regular season matches as they defeated the Patriots 8833 in Fairfax and 94-70 at Old Dominion. 4 East Carolina vs. 5 Ameri- can Both teams come into the tourna- ment on winning streaks. The Pirates defeated Metro Conference champion UNCCharlotte and in-state rival UNC Wilmington convincingly in the last week. Tne 18 wins for East Carolina is the most wins since 1974-75, when the Pirates fin- ished 19-9, and their fourth-seed is the highest since they joined the CAA. ECU Sophomore Tim Basham tangles with AU's Marko Krivokopic during AU's 79-65 victory earlier this season in Greenville. is led by senior Anton Gill, seventh in the CAA in scoring (16.6 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (7.3 rpg). Chuckie Robinson has also played outstanding for the Pirates this season. The senior from Charleston S.C is averaging 15.3 ppg, and leads the conference in field goal percentage, at 62 percent American won their last three regular-season games, including a win over James Madison. The main scoring threat for the Eagles is senior forward Christian AsL The Duke transfer from Heidelberg, Germany is fourth in scor- ing ir the CAA (184 ppg) and third in rebounding (8.0 rpg). American has hit a school record 219 three-pointers this season and is averaging 8.4 per game for a 44.9-percent accuracy. Another im- portant player for the Eagles is junior point guard Darryl Franklin who is aver- aging 14.1 ppg and 5.3 assists per game. ECU and American split this sea- son with the Pirates winning 81-72 in Washington D.C. and American claiming a 7965 victory' in Greenville. 2 UNC Wilmington vs. 7 Rich- mond UNC-Wilmington won both meet- ings in the regular season. The Seahawks set a school record with 10 conference wins in the CAA. UNCW is led by senior guard Chris Meighn. who is averaging 14.2 ppg. First-year coach Jerry Wainwright will try to lead the Seahawks to their first-ever CAA cham- pionship. Coach Bill Dooley's Richmond squad is led by senior A11CAA candi- date Kass Weaver. The Olympia Fields, Illinois native is sixth in the CAA in scor- ing (18.0 ppg) and is the Spideis main go-to guy. Freshman Daryl Oliver has also been a bright spot for Richmond, and is second in the league in three- point shooting at 46 percent i 3 James Madison vs. 6 Will- iam and Mary Both teams come into the tour- nament struggling. James Madison has lost their last five and W &M has lost four of their last five games. JMU will attempt to successfully defend their CAA crown. The Dukes are ied by Florida transfer Louis Rowe, who is averaging 22.1 ppg, tops in the CAA. Rowe has been named player of the week twice this year. James Madison has also set a single-season team record this season with 140 blocked shots. First year W&M coach Charlie Woolum will try to get the Tribe past the first round for the first time since 1988, when they defeated American 76- 75. The Tribe are led by Senior Kurt Small and Junior David Cully. Cully leads the CAA in blocked shots. Lindsay leads '95 freshmen class for Coach O & Pirates Say it ain't sol Senior forward Anton Gill and teammate Chuckie Robinson will provide more than their share of highlights at their final CAA tourney March 4-6. The duo has become a formidable force in Eddie Payne's frontcourt during their succesful tenure as Pirates.

Lindsay, a 6-foot 205-pounder is currently third on the team in batting average (.423) and tied for second in RBI's with 11. He has only struck out once.while drawing seven walks. "I have been trying my best to con- tribute and do whatever I can to help this team Lindsay said. "Coach Overton told me that if I came in and had a good fall that the opportunity to start would be there He was the subject of a great deal of recruiting attention after an outstand- ing high school career. Lindsay earned All-District honors for three consecutive years while being selected Team MVP, All-Tidewater and All-Region twice. His senior year totals at Princess .Anne H.S. saw him bat .430 with 25 runs batted in, good enough for the All-State team. "I was recruited by Virginia and Vir- ginia Commonwealth Lindsay said. "I got letters from lots of other schools, but I committed to East Carolina so "I have been trying my best to contribute and do whatever I can to help this team.r � Derek Lindsay early that those schools didn't have a chance to recruit me. I had already made my decision to come here. I'm very happy that 1 chose to come here, be- cause it is a just a great baseball pro- gram. Coach Overton really teaches the game well and we have a good facility. I feel very comfortable here too. as far as school goes Lindsay was scouted by major league scouts but went undrafted be cause of poor performances when the scouts were in attendance. "I was disappointed to not get drafted, but I just didn't play well when they were watching Lindsay said. "I hit pretty well but I made some costly errors and ! guess that dropped my stock in their eyes So far this year Lindsay has com- mitted only one error and has a .957 fielding percentage. Head coach Gary Overton describes Lindsay as a sure fielder who will handle any chances he can get to and make the throw to first but doesn't have outstanding range. Playing with returning starting short- stop Chad Puckett has been very help- ful to Lindsay's transition to college baseball. "It helps a lot" Lindsay said. "Chad has a lot of experience and really holds the infield together. He keeps me in- volved about where to play a particular hitter or how deep I should play. Play- ing with him has helped me to step in and not have a whole lot to think about 1 can just go out there and play and not worry. Plus, he gets to a whole lot of balls that I can't get to Last weekend, the freshman frit his See LINDSAY page 9 Travis Meyer Drew Goettman Staff Writer Participation in collegiate sports can mean repeated practice that borders on drudgery, but not so for Pirate catcher Travis Meyer. "Baseball is fun Meyer said. "Coach Overton makes it a lot of fun Pirate head baseball coach Gary Overton. who last month coached his 350th baseball victory' for the Pirates, is one of the main reasons that Meyer trans- ferred to ECU upon his graduation from junior college Volunteer State. "I met Coach Overton liked the way he recruited me Meyer recalled. "He didn't promise me anything, he was very honest I had to win my position. If I played well, I would be the catcher. I liked that because it's just honesty "It's a great program the Westerville. Ohio native continued. "It's nationally known. I talked to many people, and they all had great things to say about Coach Overton. That's what made my decision to come here. "He's helped me a lot with my catch ing, at this level, because it's only the second year I've ever been catching Hey, wait a minute his second year behind the mask? Ever? As Paul Harvey would say. that's "the rest of the story Meyer played marry of the infield positions (including pitcher) during his high school days at Westerville North- em High, but had settled upon third base for his freshman year at Ohio State. Things were fine until the summer fol- lowing that freshman year. "That summer. 1 started catching Meyer explained. "One of the catchers on our summer team got hurt" Meyer discovered that he liked his new home behind the plate - and so did professional scouts. It just so happened that Travis' father. Rick Meyer, was a part- time scout for the Cleveland Indians. His boss. Bob Mayor, handled scouting for the Indians for much of Ohio, and Mayor happened to see Travis catch in one of those summer-league games. "Mayor watched me play, and told me that's where I need to be playing Meyer said. Ohio State had a full lineup of catch- ers, so Meyer transferred to Volunteer State to get a chance at catching. The Pioneers went on to be regional runners- up that year, and Meyer himself was se- lected to the all-region. Upon graduation from Volunteer State. Meyer had a number of schools recruiting him: Tulane. St .Andrews (NO, Akron. Toledo, Baylor, Aubum. Jackson- ville (FL) - most of the SEC, for that matter. When it came to Meyer and ECU, no one is sure who was recruiting whom. "I think it was pretty, much a mu- tual type of atmosphere Coach Overton Softball marks Spring (RS) - Although the heat of March Madness and basketball playoff action still burns for many of ECU's finest in- tramural participants, many are already beginning preparations for warmer weather, a trip to the outside and in- tramural softball. The captain's meeting for intramural softball will be held on Tuesday. March 14 at 4:30 p.m. in Biology Building Room 103. Unaffiliated players who do not have a team are invited to attend this meeting for placement on a team. This meeting kicks off the IM Sports calendar for the second half of the Spring semester. All teams must have at least one representa- tive present at the meeting in order to guarantee a spot in the league.

Purple, and Blue: Fraternity Gold. Purple, and Blue. Women's Gold. Purple: Sorority: FacultyStaff: and Co-Recre- ational. Gold leagues are established for participants who wish to play at a higher level of skill while Purple leagues are more recreational in nature. Blue leagues are intended for FUN (little skill required)! League times will be available in a variety of options with playing times ranging from 4 -11p.m. Monday through Thursday as well as Sunday. The regular season will be fol- lowed by a single elimination tourna- ment in each respective division.

"He did have a little knowledge of us, having played his first year at Ohio State who played ECU in the 1993 NCAA Regionals. For us, trying to sell our program was really not necessary, because he had seen us. and he had a little knowledge of the program "On the other side of the coin, we" had done quite a bit of research on Travis, and had known through scouts that he was not only a draftable-type player, but a very quality catcher Overton said "We; were looking for the best possible catcher. we could find - one primarily that could throw -1 One unknown for Overton was- .

"There are certain times in the game - and thank God we haven't had a close one yet - certain times in cer- tain games that we rely on Coach for some help, because he knows the pitch- ers better than I do Meyer said. "Un- til I leam each pitcher, and what they do best it's going to be hard for me to call it" The Pirates have their first-ever sea- son schedule of strictly Division-I teams, and Meyer has a healthy optimism about ECU's chances in the conference - and in the NCAA. "I think the possibilities range from being a 'good' team to a 'great' team, and anywhere in between Meyer said. "It depends on how hard we work. We have to go to practice every day. and work until we can't work anymore "That's what I like about playing here. When we step on the field, we ex- pect to win. If we don't then somebody better beat us, cause we're not going to give them the game Meyer is a history education ma- jor who would like to get a job teaching in high school - and coaching, of course. As one might expect though. Meyer cer- tainly is hopeful for a shot at being drafted into major league baseball, and he feels that ECU is the one school that will give him his best chance. "I think I'm happier here than I would have been anywhere else Meyer said.

IV1 from page 1 virtually accomplished all of those short and long-term goals with the exception of conference affiliation, which I knew, and we've been in that six-year chase, would be the toughest to accomplish and probably the one that would take the most time. I think in lieu of that, we have bridged the gap to give East Carolina the very best opportunity of achieving that goal as well as we go through the remainder of this decade. I've always said that that will happen, and I think that when it does, it will happen for the best when it does, meaning that we will find a home that is very, very grati- fying to our student athletes, faculty students and fans. I think that it will work out for the best TEC: Are they're any other vi- sions or goals that you didn 't get ac- complished while here at ECU? DH: Well, I can't wait to come back in about three years and see the completion of the facilities that are on the board. Minges was a personal priority of mine, the Chancellor knew that, and people knew that, and it's good to see Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum in its completed form.

TEC: As the program at ECU continues to grow, what do you kel is the most important thing for your replacement to do to continue the university's su jess? DH: Oh, I think the most impor- tant thing will be to capitalize on the momentum that exists right now. For the univer- sity, as a whole, and for the athlet- ics department as a whole, I think that tho is a lot of good things going on, and I think it's a good time to come in and capitalize on the momentum. TEC: What have you been doing since the announcement oftheFSUjob- has it been busi- ness as usual or have you been wrapping up loose ends? DH: I've had a chance, and will complete this task this weekend to get in front of our studentathletes, our staff, the trustees, the Chancellor's staff77ie East Carolinian to express my personal appreciation. TEC: Has Dr. VanSant interim AD been handling most of tie "ath- letic director" duties? DH: He has really begun that this week, in earnest Now I'll go to the CAA Tournament as will Dr. VanSant this weekend in Richmond, and then that will really kind of be it. I'll finish up some loose ends, then the follow- ing week on the 15th start down in Tallahassee. TEC: Once you arrive at FSU, do you feel that there will be any back- lash from the problems that they have had in the recent past with sports agents or past athletic directors? DH: Well, I think that they are ready for those wounds to heal. Now, the university did an outstanding job with the internal investigation into the (sports agent incident, and the NCAA will follow up that internal investiga- tion. 1 think everyone's ready to get through all that and put it behind them. 12 PRICE ENTREE' "iVe had a chance, and will complete this task this weekend to get in frontofour studentathletes, our staff, the trustees, the Chancellor's staff The East Carolinian, to express my personal appreciation � Dave Hart TEC: Is there anything that you plan to do in Tallahassee immedi- ately upon your arrival? DH: Well, I'll start by doing how I exited here, and that is meeting with a lot of groups that will be real impor- tant to the university and to the de- partment of Athletics. Obviously, it will be an introductory and not an ap- preciation-type meeting, but I've al- ways felt real strongly that you need a lot of different constituent groups to have a successful program. You need an open line of communication with those groups so they can better un- derstand the goals, philosophies and mis- sions, so I'll spend a lot of time doing that There are some things, as there will be for the new per- son here, that will always be on the front burner to take care of, but I'll be there by myself, in terms of won't have my family with me early, so I'll have a lot of time to get some of that stuff attended to. TEC: Can we plan on seeing Florida State in Dowdy-Ficklen Sta- dium or Williams Arena in the near fu- ture? DH: Well, I certainly, and I mean this, any opportunity that I get and I think I will have some to help East Carolina in a somewhat minor or ma- jor way, and I intend to do mat TEC: How is you family han- dling everything? DH: Really well, it's been a real tough move for everybody, but they're handling it well. I think they're excited about it. Our children, who really aren't children in that sense anymore aren't being uprooted. It might be dif- ferent if we had seventh-graders or even a sophomore in high school, but our daughter is a senior a D.H. Conley, so she'll finish. That has helped. It's hard to do. I went through that as a teenager. From that perspective they are fine with the transition. They feel strongly about Greenville because they were raised here, but they're fine with it. It's a tough move as it is for me and my wife from the university. TEC: Will your move to Florida State affect your status on any of the committees that you si on with the NCAA? Obviously it will affect your CAA committee status. DH: Yes, it will affect them be- cause the NCAA is structured by re- gions and districts, so as you change jobs, sometimes you go out of that region or district, and that takes you off of that committee. With the NCAA only a year-and-a-half or two years away from a new govern's model in all likelihood, that's a blessing and a curse. I have enjoyed those commit- tees, so its a curse from the stand- point that I would like to stay on all of them. I'll stay on some of themsome of them I'll move out of district or region and won't be able to. It's a blessing in the sense that when you change jobs your focus is so intently driven on the new job, and it will give you a time to devote spe- cifically to it. It will be about a half- and-half. I've been asked recently to serve by the NCAA as a consultant to the StudentAthlete Advisory Com- mittee nationally, and have agreed to do that TEC: Is it appropriate for you to make recommendations as to who will replace you here at ECU? DH: 1 have had an opportunity to visit with Richard Brown, who is the chair, and talk about the process, not so much on the candidates. He's asked me for my opinion on the process it- self, and I've told him and the Chan- cellor as well that I am willing to do as much or as little of that as they want me to. It would be inappropriate for me to get into the actual selection pro- cess, but leading up to it I care about East Carolina, so I want to see a good person in this role. As much as I can do to help, I want to do that TEC: Have you had a particular mentor throughout your career? DH: My father has been that be- cause he spent a lot of time in this pro- fession. Kent Carr, who hired me here, is certainly one. Then there are people, as in any given profession, that you admire and look up to, and certainly there have been some of those - cur- rently, ADs that have retired, that type of thing. TEC: Once you are settled in Florida, what do you feel that your favorite memories or recollections of ECU will be? DH: That's a hard one, because there is so many. I've been asked that before. I have a lot of different memo- ries. People might immediately think of memories of competition, but there are a lot of memories in different cat- egories that are too numerous to men- tion. From a competition standpoint obviously the Peach Bowl and the march to the NCAA tournament by the men's basketball team, but I have a lot of memories that don't fall under the competition standpoint LINDSAY from page 8 first collegiate homerun, and describes that as his greatest thrill so far in his young career. "Hitting for power is something that I was known for in high school, and hope- fully that shot will be the beginning of something here Lindsay said. "Right now I'm hitting the ball pretty good. I feel like as the pitching improves the hit- ters will improve with it At the begin- ning of the season, they are a little ahead of us, but now I am starting to wait for my pitches more, and I feel more and more comfortable at the plate. At first I wasn't being selective enough and was swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. I talked to Coach Overton, and he told me to cut my swing down and make good contact with the ball Lindsay has 11 hits in his 26 at-bats with a 538 slugging percentage, scor- ing 11 runs so far this year. However, receiving accolades and honors are not high among his list of priorities. "I just want to help this team win the CAA's and go to the regionals Lind- say said. "If I hit for a good average with power, that will help us a lot I feel like we are off to a really good start and should be ui good shape when we begin conference play The Pirates are currently 11-0 and have a team batting average of 359 as compared to their opponent's .170 aver- age, outscoring opposing teams 119-17. If Lindsay and his teammates continue to play well, they should exceed pie-sea- son predictions of them finishing fifth in the conference standings.
