Eakin named one of four finalists in presidential hunt Stephanie Lassiter News Editor ?????MM Chancellor Richard R. Eakin may possibly follow in the footsteps of former Athletic Director Dave Hart - right out the doors of ECU. Eakin was named as one of four finalists for the position of President at the University of Louisville. The announcement came after a 2 12- hour meeting Saturday afternoon. University of Louisville spokeswoman Denise Fitzpatrick said the four were chosen from among 104 candidates. "I am honored to be considered for the presidency of the University of Louisville Eakin said in a prepared press release. "The university is the second largest in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It has a distinguished academic reputation as a state-sup- ported urban institution Dr. Tinsley Yarbrough. interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the titles of chancellor and presi- dent are synomous in this case. "In this, the University of North Carolina system, the head of the en- tire system is called the president Yarbrough said. Eakin's responsibilites as president at Louis- ville, would be parallel to those at ECU. The University of Louisville has an enrollment of 21.377 with all de- grees through the doctorate and pro- fessional schools of dentistry, law, medicine and engineering. See EAKIN page 4 Tuition payment plan finalized SGA,administration collaborate to pass plan Tambra Zion Assistant News Editor Paying tuition may be a little easier next spring. Instead of footing large bills at the beginning of each se- mester, students will have the option of making tuition payments more fre- quently, but in smaller amounts next year. Student Government Association (SGA) president Ian Eastman and Comptroller Dan Bishop are finalizing plans to install a tuition payment pro- gram during the summer. "Last year during the SGA spring, we heard complaints about the tuition problems about financial aid so we set out to find an alternative way to pay for tuition Eastman said. Bishop said former senior class president Keith Dyer had also con- tacted officials about the program. Af- ter numerous phone calls and visits from SGA members and administra- tors, Eastman and Bishop believe the program will be in effect for next spring. Two companies are being consid- ered to implement the plan. Academic Management Systems (AMS) of Provi- dence. R.I. and American Tuition As- sistance Corporation in Indianapolis, In. both represent schools in North Carolina. See PAY page 2 File Photo Chancellor Eakin will visit the University of Louisville later this month to be considered for the position of president. Students given Golden Key Honor society grants outstanding student members scholarships Polls open today for bond vote Andl Powell Phillips News Writer Two ECU student members of the Golden Key Honor Society were awarded scholarships for outstand- ing academic performance ai the organizations annual membership. Alisa Nicole Godwin, who was inducted into the Golden Key Honor Society during a ceremony held Feb. 20 in Jenkins Fine Arts Center, received the junior schol- arship. Godwin has a 4.0 grade point average and is a physical therapy major. "I was very pleased and sur- prised Godwin said. "I was hon- ored just to be asked to join Golden Key. I wasn't expecting to be an ini- tiate scholarship recipient The senior scholarship went to another inductee, Stephanie Carol Titus, who is majoring in mathemat- ics education and has earned a 3.97 grade point average. Dr. David Emmerling, dean of Student development and the advi- sor for the Golden Key Society spoke highly of both scholarship re- cipients. "Their achievements speak for themselves in terms of quality Emmerling said. "They are a sym- bol of a lot of what ECU has to be proud of, which is a whole host of talented and dedicated people who ideserve recognition The Golden Key Honor Society is a national nonprofit organiza- tion which offers outstanding tra- ditional and non-traditional stu- dents recognition for their achieve- ment, as well as scholarship oppor- tunities and the opportunity to become involved in community service projects the organization sponsors. "Because Golden Key includes all majors it brings together a lot of people already established in the university and gives them the opportunity to improve things in and around Greenville said Godwin. Godwin stated that she in- tends to become involved in the organization's community service work. One such community ser- vice project is the Best of America Program. "With the Best of America Program, Golden Key members are specifically trained to go out into primary and secondary schools to help prevent substance use and abuse Emmerling said. Emmeriing also stated that Best of America is a national Golden Key project, but the ECU chapter does a lot of community service on the local level as well. Membership to Golden Key is by invitation only. The invitations are extended to those students, full-time or part-time, with 63 hours or above in January, who have a 3.3 or higher grade point average or are in the top 15 percent of their class, whichever is higher. Cur- rently the organization has more than 450,000 lifetime members and more than 5,000 honorary members including President Bill Clinton, former First Lady Bar- bara Bush and author Alex Haley. "This is the first time since I've been in college that I'm eli- gible for something like this Godwin said. "I really appreciate being recognized for the work I've done here Passage of vote could mean more university property Drew Goettman News Writer Thousands of Pitt County residents go to the polls today to decide on a bond referendum for the county school system - a ref- erendum which could also benefit ECU. At stake is a $31.8 million bond which would finance four new schools, new computer and laboratory equipment for almost every school and renovations to bring all buildings in compliance with the Americans with Disabili- ties Act (e.g. handicap access). As part of the bond referen- dum package, the Pitt County School Board has agreed to sell the university the former Rose High Schoolproperty, currently Eppes Middle School, for $6 mil- lion, and in turn, ECU will sign over the title it holds on the Wahl- Coates Elementary School prop- erty which the university has been leasing to the Pitt County Schools. This exchange has been agreed upon - but only if the referendum passes. If today's referendum fails, ECU and Pitt County Schools go back to the drawing board in the university's attempts to acquire the former Rose High property. "The physical master plan of the university has as its 'linchpin if you will, the acquisition of the former Rose High School property (now known as the Eppes Middle School property) said ECU Chan- cellor Richard Eakin, in an inter- view with The Easf Carolinian. "There are just any number of even- tualities that are presumed in the master plan that depend upon our acquiring that property "It is, after all, contiguous to the existing campus Eakin said. "It is about a 20-acre site, which for this university - or any other, for that matter - to be able to ac- quire 20 contiguous acres with a building that could be put to good use by the university that's quite a remarkable event Eakin said the property nego- , tiations have been occuring for See BOND page 4 Pitt County residents dispute need for the bond Drew Goettman SUrt Writer Photo by DREW GOETTMAN If the bond referendum fails today. ECU will go back to the negotiation stage with the county for the Eppes property. Photo by DREW GOETTMAN Should the bond referendum pass, ECU will have the chanct to purchase the 20-acre Eppes Middle School property. their own approach is "financially sound" "Without having this bond ref- erendum and this tax increase go through, there are funds to address the critical needs that exist in the schools Lamprecht said. "We don't think they need to be addressed im- mediately Barry Gaskins, Public Informa- tion Director for the Pitt County Schools, released an informational Questions and Answers About The Pitt County School Bond which includes the following statement about bond issue vs. paas-you-go: "Student growth, program needs, and substandard conditions will not go away. Construction costs are in- creasing The instructional technol- ogy gap will continue to widen pay-as-you-go is an expensive way to attempt to catch up and offers a band-aid approach to the long-term solution Susan Foreman, wl o is a co- chair of the Bond Steering Commit- tee, said the pay-as-you-go approach will in the long run be more expen- sive. The Bond Steering Committee is a group of parents and business professionals in support of the ref- erendum. Foreman has three chil- dren in Pitt County Schools. "The steering committee feels that this bond referendum is actu- ally by far the most financially sound way for the county to progress Many ECU officials are holding their breath over today's countywide referendum on a proposed S31.8 million school bond for the Pitt County Schools. If and only if the bond passes, the school board has agreed to sell ECU the Eppes Middle School prop- erty (the former site of Rose High School). However, passage of the ref- erendum is not guaranteed. Several are residents have launched an opposition campaign to the referendum, calling themselves Friends for Financial Responsibility (FFR). According to Tom Lamprecht one spokesperson for the group, they have several reasons to object to the new ad valorem taxes which would result from the issuance of the bond, saying that the same capital improve- ments in the Pitt County Schools could be financed by other means. The proposed bond would give Pitt County Schools the ability to go into debt now and go ahead and make the necessary renovations and replacements now, FFR proposes to "pay as you go Representatives of both sides favor the improvements in the schools, and have claimed that See PITT page 3 Tuesday, March 14, 1995 The East Carolinian Freshman to get Safety Net Ten Howell News Writer East Carolina University and honor students are looking at new ways to boost the freshman and transfer retention level by creating a mentor program nicknamed Safety Net The mentor program is in its infant stages but will be a full-time program for all incoming freshman and transfer stu- dents who may have trouble adjusting from family life to a campus-oriented lifestyle, said Thomas Marcinowski. presi- dent of Omega Delta Kappa. (ODK) the National Leadership Honor Society at ECU. Marcinowski said Safety Net will help those students who may have got- ten lest in the commotion during the orientation process. "We hope the program will bring in a better freshman class when they real- ize each new student will have a mentor to show them the ways said Marcinowski. "Students can keep their mentor as long as they want which might enable them to umbrella out during their college years Most of the 200 mentors the pro- gram now has are from honor societies. however. Marcinowski said the program needs many more students to even out the ratio of the expected 2500 freshman next year. t All mentors should have a 2.75 GPA or better and at least 45 semester hours, putting them at the second semester sophomore level. Marcinowski said that this way, a mentor will be more in flux with college life and the campus and more helpful to an incoming freshman. "Chancellor Eakin is really backing this up. He thinks the mentor program is a wonderful idea said Marcinowski. See MENTOR page 3 Hall gets female pitcher Hunt working for more cells Andy Turner News Writer utaammmmmammmmmmm Criminals beware, if Gov. Jim Hunt's expansion budget is approved, there will be a lot more vacancies in North Carolina's prisons to house law- breakers. Hunt's expansion budget provides for two 624-bed medium security pris- ons, a 376-cel! close custody prison for long-term adult offenders, a boot camp for female offenders and a 100-bed supermax facility to hold the most vio- lent offenders. Additionally, existing close-custody and medium security will be expanded and in total the budget calls for an increase of 2,424 beds. The total cost for the building of the new prisons and expansion of exist- ing prisons is estimated at $116.2 mil- lion by the end of 1997. The projected annual operating cost of these facilities is $49.6 million. State funds would be used in conjunction with federal funds available to North Carolina through the Federal Crime Bill. The proposed supermax unit would be coastructed as a separate fa- cility at the 568-bed prison for youthful offenders being built in Granville County. Inmates at the supermax facil- ity would be the most violent and dan- gerous offenders. It is designed for in- mates who are considered a threat to society and the prison population as well. Inmates of the supermax prison would be restricted to their own cell 23 hours out of the day. One hour a dav the inmates would be able to leave their cell to exercise and shower. The inmates would move down a secured corridor to an outside cage during the one hour. All meals would be consumed by the prisoners in their cells. The need of having a prison of this type is to best manage people who don't fit into the normal prison popula- tion said Bill Boston, public informa- tion officer-spokesman for the North Carolina department of corrections. "We need to be able to separate and control people who are disruptive and having a maximum security of supermax secu- rity allows us to do that" See HUNT page 4 CPS-lf major league baseball owners are serious about hiring re- placement players for the upcom- ing season, they might want to look to Southern California College's baseball team for a Hall of Fame pitcher. Sophomore Ila Borders re- cently joined baseball legends Babe Ruth. Ernie Banks and Willie Mays in Cooperstown. She will be hon- ored in a new exhibit as the first women to officially pitch in a col- lege seball game. "When 1 found out, 1 couldn't stop jumping up and down says Borders. "It's like a dream come true, even more than a dream come true. It's something 1 didn't ex- pect But for many college hitters. Borders herself is something they don't expect: a female pitcher in what has traditionally been an all- male sport. Borders. 19, says she's been playing baseball since she was 10 years old. She switched to the sport a few years after she began playing softball. "It just seemed like it was more of a challenge Borders says. "It seemed like it was a lot more fun After mowing down batters in Little League, Borders decided to give high school baseball a shot at Whittier Christian. And after im- pressing coaches and fans with her skills on the mound, she began searching for a college. "1 sent tapes to college coaches because I was afraid that if people heard a girl was pitching, they would think it was just a novelty Borders says. "1 wanted them to see what I could do Borders says she heard a lot of good things about Southern Cali- fornia College, and after she visited the campus, she knew it was the school for her. "I was looking for a Christian school where I could play baseball that was close to the beach she says. "When I visited the campus and talked to the coach, I knew it was the school When the time came for the first day of practice. Borders savs she was nervous. But after surviv- ing previous inductions into all- male teams, the Southern Califor- nia native knew what to expect. "The first practice is always rough because people want to know what you're trying to prove, like you're trying to make some statement she says. "1 knew that 1 had to show that I was just another ballplayer out there because 1 love the game As a freshmen. Borders made seven starts and had two appear ances in relief. In her first game, she held Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to one run and five hits. The left- hander finished the season with a record of 2-4 with a 2.92 ERA. "By the middle of the season, I was just a pitcher on the team, not the girl pitcher she says.j; "That's the way I want it Although she has hopes of playing professionally, she knows .JJ she may have to take the long road J to the major leagues. "I'm willing to start in Japan if that's what has ? to happen she says. "But this is something I really want to see through r Borders may get her chance. " When Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda learned of Border's accom- 2 plishments, he told The New York " Times that he just might be inter- ested. "If I can get somebody to win 2 20 games for me he said, "I'll take her ?- I PAY from page 1 Students can expect to receive fly- ers in the mail next fall that will pro- vide information on how the program works. For a $45 to $50 fee, students can pay off tuition in four monthly in- stallments that begin before the semes- ter does. Bishop said. All fees will be paid before the semester's end. Investigating the plan and how it would work for ECU took several ad- ministrators to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. "We learned that there were some internal problems with AMS as far as the transmissions of the monthly install- ment payment td the university, it was a tremendous reconciling problem Bishop said. "We know we can do bet- ter than that" ECU is currently converting to a larger database, making future record transference much easier for students. Bishop said. "That major conversion for prob- ably about a quarter of a million on the student database are being transferred onto the IBM Bishop said. "Know- ing we couldn't do anything until after that transfer was complete, the recom- mendation at that time was made to hold off until after the conversion Bishop said the installation of a tu- ition payment plan is one of the university's top priorities after the records conversion is complete. In using the tuition payment plan, ECU will have half of the tuition from each student at the beginning of each semester. Payments will be made to the company ECU chooses to use in imple- menting a tuition payment plan. "If you drop out or you don't make a payment, then we have the authority to withdraw you from class Bishop said. Bishop believes in-state students will not benefit as much as out-of-state students. He said the $50 fee may not be worth splitting payments into $200 increments. "If you could borrow four or five thousand dollars for $50 a four month period - That's not bad The tuition payment plan has been long sought after, but will probably be used by few. Bishop said 10 percent of students at UNGWilmington use the program. The ratio of out-of-state to in- state students in the program at Wilmington is 90 to 10. Administrators are also working to ease financial aid burdens in the future, and eventually the line that wraps around Whichard at the beginning of each semester. "My next enhancement is to elec- tronically process all financial scholar- ships, loans, grants pull it all in and accredit it to accounts receivable Bishop said.

"If we don't do it, we'll end up paying for it in the future In an issue as complex as the bond issue, a lot of number-crunching is necessary, and as one might expect, opponents disagree with the official numbers produced by the Pitt County Schools. "They're not using the same num- bers FFR's Lamprecht said. "They're inflating their numbers, or deflating them, as it suits their purposes "When they're looking at their numbers, with the three-cent tax in- crease, they're assuming that the mon- ies available after the 1989 bond is completed they're assuming that those monies will come to pay off this 1995 bond Lamprecht said. "They use those monies then but when you look at the pay-as-you-go scheme, they I don't use those monies This brings up another sore spot in the controversy: the 1989 school I bond. In that year, a $25.7 million bond referendum was passed, from which I (among other improvements) the new 1 Rose High School sprung. The 1989 bond, however, was not to be paid off I with an additional property tax, but through a special yearly designation , from the Pitt County commissioners.

That's got to be voted on by county commissioners Another item of disagreement is the school system's need for additional space. The proposed bond would com- pletely replace Eppes Middle School and H.B. Sugg school, plus provide for two brand-new elementary schools. This is based on the Pitt County Schools figures which show the sys- tem growing by over 400 students per year. When the enrollment figures are considered over a number of years, the most frequently-used figure is the Av- erage Daily Member- ship (ADM), accord- ing to officials with the Statistical Research and Data Center at the NC Depart- ment of Public In- s t r uc- t i o n (DPI) in R a - leigh. According to official ADM figures released by DPI which concern both the Pitt County Schools and the former Greenville City Schools (which merged in 1986), public school enrollment in Pitt County at large peaked in 1968 at 18,848, reached a low of 16,182 in 1982, and is currently on an upward trend at 18,268 in 1994. In the 12 years since 1982, Pitt County Schools have averaged gaining 174 new students each year. However, the Pitt County Schools have grown in the last three consecu- tive years by 190 students in 1992, another 218 students in 1993, and another 425 students in 1994. "If we don't build new classrooms, there are other options Foreman said of the methods Pitt County uses to handle over-crowding. Those other options can include such things as mandatory year-round school, stag- gered classroom schedules, more trail- ers using cafeterias, libraries to hold classes in.

"They want to build a new north elementary school FFR's Lamprecht said. "Right now, in the northern part of the county, we have Stokes Elemen- tary School which is 40 percent empty. Some of the things that the county schools want to do, we think can wait" "They just spent who-knows-how- much on the new Rose High School Lamprecht added. "Already, they want to spend an additional $300,000 on up- grading a brand-new facility. Those kind of things can wait" "If you look at the private sector, and if you look at how individuals run their homes, sometimes you're left with having to pay as you go Lampecht said. "Some- times, you don't get ev- e r y - thing when you'd like to have it but sometimes that's the more responsible way to do things The Friends for Financial Respon- sibility look at the proposed transac- tion between ECU and the Pitt County Schools, and see resources which could be used in lieu of the proposed bond. Lamprecht initially listed the $6 million price tag on the Eppes prop- erty, and then added an estimated $3 million value to the Wahl-Coates El- ementary School property title which is to be signed over from ECU to the Pitt County Schools if the bond is passed. "In addition to that they are buy- ing Eppes and turning around and letting Pitt County Schools use it for six years Lamprecht said. "The cash value of all these things comes up to about $11.5 million. There is enough cash on hand within that to begin these projects, and to look at a pay-as-you- go situation In the bond proposal, the Pitt County Schools have said that a tax increase of no more than three cents per $100 property value is more than adequate to pay back the bond. This is another area which FFR questions. "If you look at the numbers, this bond - interest and principal - adds up to $58 million Lamprecht said. "Take a look at what they're propos- ing: they're saying that a threeent- per-$100-of-property-value tax increase would be enough to pay back this $58 million. The numbers don't add up. "If you take a three-cent tax in- crease, that's going to generate some- thing just over $1.1 million in new taxes for the county Lamprecht said. "If you divide that number into $58 million, it's going to take 50-some years to pay this thing back. They're propos- ing that it will be paid back in a much shorter time frame than that" Passage of the referendum would also bring an unprecedented increase in the county's property taxes, accord- ing to Lamprecht. "If this bond succeeds, that means our property taxes in Pitt County will have increased by almost 20 percent in the past seven years Lamprecht said. "In 1988, we were paying 63 cents per $100 property value. If this goes through, we'll be looking at 75.39 cents per $100 property value. That's irre- sponsible that's unacceptable The controversy heightened last week during ECU's Spring Break, as FFR accused school officials of illegally campaigning in favor of passage of the referendum, as reported in the March 11 Dairy Reflector. The issue featured a photograph of a poster promoting the bond issue, clearly visible on a teacher's hall doorway in Rose High School. In a referendum such as the one before the voters today, since the bond issue concerns the public schools, all state employees are by law supposed to remain neutral on the subject with reference to public contact While the two sides may not agree on the direction in which to progress, both agree on the need for much of the proposed improvements in the Pitt County Schools. "Quality education is important and we're all for that, but we're also for financial responsibility Lamprecht said. HOW TO GET STUFF CHEAPER. (WITHOUT POSING AS A SENIOR CITIZEN.)

"We are seeing construction time being moved up because of the demand for prison capacity that we have and Gov. Hunt's urge for state agencies to work together to speed up the process of opening prisons as quickly as pos- sible Poston said. Poston said the state is looking to- ward a combination of actions to im- prove the current condition of the prison system including the expanding the prisons, reexamining the sentenc- ing process and new community super- vision structures within the Parole-pro- bation system. Poston said their has been a tre- mendous increase in crimes committed in North Carolina. He said the prison population has nearly doubled in the past five years. In 1987,17,360 people were sent to North Carolina prisons and 69,530 people were on probation or parole. In 1994, 28.000 people were in imprisoned and 112,000 people were on probation or parole. "The effort is really to improve pub- lic safety by better supervision of offend- ers who are convicted and sent to prison dr (put on) probation Poston said. "(We are trying)through the way these prisons are managed to reduce crime in the state. years and a failed bond referendum would mean back to the drawing boards. "My work over the last several years has been to make it possible for us to acquire the property Eakin said. "It's an essential ingre- dient in the future growth and de- velopment of our institution The "physical master plan" to which Eakin refers is a growth plan developed a couple of years ago by the Research Triangle architectural firm of Obrien Atkins. They did a comprehensive study of the campus everything from appropriate use of space in the buildings, to vehicu- lar access to the campus. "It was their contention that this, the academic campus, should have a much heavier concentration of academic and student service functions Eakin explained. "Many of the more ancillary functions could be moved to the perimeter of campus. "What we'd like to do, and what acquiring the former Rose school probably would permit us to do, is to bring many of the stu- dent services that are used by stu- dents day-in, day-out, or at least sev- eral times a semester - and these offices relate to each other - it would allow us to bring them to- gether on the central campus in a more comprehensive and coher- ent way Eakin said. 'That is to say, to have the registrar, and the cash- ier, and the financial aid office, and some of these other offices that re- late to each other have them ei- ther in the same building or very close to each other so the students wouldn't have to bounce back and forth across the campus repeat- edly The Pitt County School Board has been sympathetic to this desire, said Barry Gaskins, Public Informa- tion Director for the Pitt County Schools. "The school board has re- mained fairly steadfast in wanting ECU to have the former Rose property Gaskins said. "There have been some pushes in different directions at one time to just go for the highest bidder, and the school board held their ground and said, 'No, we want to make sure ECU gets this property As the school board worked to discover the best way to pay for needed capital improvements within the Pitt County Schools, they realized that the $6 million price for the former Rose school could help. "As they put the bond referen- dum package together, and all their other considerations for the devel- opment of the schools, they real- ize that this part of it - that is, the sale of the school - could be an important ingredient in the entire planning picture Eakin said. Pitt County Schools estab- lished a list of just what kind of renovations, replacements and up- grades were either needed or re- quired. "The school system has identi- fied $89 million worth of needs Gaskins said. "Now, those needs are based on an assortment of things. If you look at the major categories, you're talking about needs as they relate to the growth and expansion, as far as the student population "We are growing by an average of 400 new students a year Gaskins said. "It doesn't take long to figure out - that's almost a new school facility every year or two that we're in need of. A large part of this bond package is added classroom space In addition to four new schools, another $6 million is slated for extensive renovations at Robinson, Cox, Chicod and Bethel schools. One half million dollars will replace the overcrowded library at Ayden Elementary School, an- other $300,000 is set aside for fur- ther improvements at Rose High School and $120,000 is projected for Grifton School Auditorium reno- vations and land acquisition. One million dollars will be used to buy computer equipment'for vir- tually every school. Another $600,000 will buy science lab equip- ment for the high schools. Finally, $425,000 will be spent upgrading all of the schools to meet the fed- erally-mandated requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The proposed bond would be paid off partly with an increase of ad valorem taxes (county only), to the tune of no more than three cents per $100 of county property valuation in Pitt County. "We are hopeful that it won't be that much Gaskins said. "With the growth in the county, and the increase in the tax base, we're feel- ing like it will not take the whole three cents. However, in good faith, when we're making presentations and we talk to people about this, we've been very up-front that it would be no more than three cents Even though the bond referen- dum is subject to voters registered in Pitt County alone, there is an impact on ECU students of 1995. "I think that a lot of students who come here to ECU stay here Gaskins said. "We feel strongly that the school system is an' integral part of the foundation of this com- munity. A lot of the teachers who graduate from ECU end up work- ing at Pitt County schools; 50 per- cent of our teachers come from ECU. The school system and the university have a very symbiotic re- lationship EAKIN from page 1 Eakin, who has been ECU's chan- cellor since 1987, will visit Louisville March 19-21. ? Trustee chairman J. Craig Souza said in an interview with TEC that Eakin's performance at ECU has been outstanding and he is hopeful that he will remain in Greenville. "He has done an absolutely terrific j6b for us Souza said. "I think that speaks well of East Carolina. It really is a compliment to him and ECU. It needs to be understood that we don't want him to leave Souza said that at this point the trustees are basically stagnant "There is really nothing for us to do he said. "The university system has a methodology in place to establish a search committee. It will be conducted as other searchers are done Souza said that Eakin's salary is not an issue. Salaries of university of North Carolina chancellors, such as Eakin, are not controlled by their trust- ees, therefore, a salary raise is not be- ing considered. Souza was assuring that the Trustees are prepared in the event that Eakin should leave East Carolina. "We are right on top of this he said. "I've communicated with him a number of times. We are organized and prepared While the trustees can suggest the candidates for the position, the univer- sity system President CD. Spangler makes the final decision. Spangler would also be responsible for naming the interim chancellor should one be necessary. Other finalists for the position in- clude: Betty Turner Asher, president of the University of South Dakota; Gregory M. O'Brien, chancellor of the University of News Orleans; and John M. Shumaker, president of central Con- necticut State University. The committee plans to name a new president March 27 to replace Donald Swain, the current president who is retiring.

All of the media heads are paid a monthly stipend during the 1995-96 academic year. All applicants must have a minimum 2.5 grade point average.

Quite a bargain. So stop gazing at the cloudless sky, the blazing sun and the many convertibles. Get out in the fresh air and vote! Today's children are tomorrow's future. We've all heard the phrase. Heck, what seemed like just yesterday we were the children of the future. Unfortunately, our generation, the Generation Xers, are being criticized for being lazy, spoiled, grungy citizens. So what hope do we hold for leading our country into the 21st century? Upon what, or whom, can we blame this travesty? While many Xers blame their parents for their lack of drive, many critics are blaming the school systems. While public schools are becoming a haven for guns and teenage sex and drug abuse, Pitt County is searching for methods for improving what is quickly becoming a decaying school system. Today, Pitt County residents will have the opportunity to vote to improve, not only the Pitt County School Sys- tem, but ECU as well. The $31.8 million bond will create new schools, upgrade many existing schools, but will also give ECU the opportunity to purchase some much needed property. Should the bond pass, ECU will purchase the old Rose High School property (Elm Street) for $6 million from the Pitt County School Board. In addition, ECU will sign over the title for Wahl-Coates Elementary School. Besides improving the county school system for tomorrow's leaders, the bond referendum, if passed, will give ECU the opportunity to acquire 20 acres. For ECU this will mean bringing administrative offices, such as the cashier's office, financial aid and the registrar's office into one general area. That certainly would make locating our financial aid checks much easier. While $6 million, plus the title to Wahl-Coates, may seem like a hefty price to pay for 20 acres of land, con- sider the disadvantages to a failed bond package. After several years of negotiating, ECU officials and county com- missioners would once again have to meet at the drawing board for further negotiating, which could result in a stiffer price. Furthermore, other bidders could come into the picture, while currently ECU is the only potential pur- chaser in the deal. You may be wondering what the bond would cost you as a Pitt County citizen. Lucky for us, we're college stu- dents who don't own much, if any, property. Therefore we can't be expected to pay property tax. But for those resi- dents who are property owners, the tax increase isn't much. A property-owning taxpayer can expect to pay no more than three cents per $100 assessed value. For instance, if one owns a $75,000 home, they will pay $22.50 annually. That's less than the average (of age) college student spends per week on nightlife-entertainment. Let's think about the children again. These leaders of tomorrow will also be our leaders, or at least our children's leaders. With the divorce rate steadily climbing, one in ten families on welfare and the crime rate reaching a star- tling high, the one place our children should feel safe is in their classrooms. It's a beautiful day. Ride your bike to the polls and vote YES to the bond referendum. Nothing but stems The East Carolinian Gregory Dickens, General Manager Maureen A.

Western NC often overlooked Once again Spring Break has come and gone. Most of us here at ECU probably took to the road on March 3rd. Some may have traveled home for a visit with good ol' Mom and Dad. Vast numbers of students however headed to the shore for a little fun in the sun. While no on in their right mind is going to argue the fact that lounging on the beach is a great way to recharge the old batter- ies, many students who are tired of the crowded beaches may be looking for an alternate vacation plan for next year. For those students 1 have a simple answer. Go West! Most people enrolled at East Carolina are well aware that our cam- pus is located conveniently close to the sand and surf of the Outer Banks. However, few may have considered the abundance of recreational opportuni- ties that exist within a day's drive west of Greenville. On any given day, one has little possibility of walking across campus without spotting someone wearing ridiculously expensive hiking boots or thick wool socks. For many these are mere fashion accessories. But for those of you who's Timberlands have actually ventured away from concrete, the mountains of North Carolina should be even more inviting. One can find hiking and camping oppor- tunities that can satisfy both the be- Calvin Arlington Opinion Columnist While your classmates are baking, why not do a little skiing? ginner as well as the experienced out- doors person. Sites such as the Tanawha Trail, the Pisgah National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail can all be reached from Greenville in a couple of hours. While your classmates are bak- ing on the beach, why not head for the high country and do a little late season skiing? The slopes of western Carolina are truly a hidden treasure. The eight ski resorts of North Caro- lina offer some of the best skiing avail- able in the southeast By the time Spring Break rolls around, most of these facilities have officially begun late season rates. However there is still an abundance of snow. By tak- ing advantage of these lower lift ticket costs, you could actually spend a day or night on the slopes for around twenty bucks. The western portion of our state also provides an excellent opportunity for cycling enthusiasts. I seriously doubt anyone will find a trail that is more difficult than the life or death challenge course that faces students on the way to clashes here in Greenville. However, the relaxed pace might allow time to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds North Carolina's high country. Despite what you may now be thinking, I have not been hired to pro- mote tourism in the western areas of our state. I just wanted to bring to light an area that seems to be severely overlooked. It just never ceases to amaze me when everyone piles into their cars and heads for the beach at the speed of light during Spring Break. If only they would look in the other direction, they would find an avalanche of natural wonders and rec- reational opportunities that can be enjoyed for a fraction of the price. have a hard time believing I am the only person here at ECU that enjoys spending time outdoors. If you share this interest or if your just tired of the same of thing , do something dif- ferent. Avoid the crowds and head for the high country of North Caro- lina. I guarantee you won't be sorry. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I am writing in response to the cheerleading controversy that was published in the Feb. 23 edition of TEC. Even though I think that the cheerleaders should have the oppor- tunity to show their talent at the na- tional level, I think the problem is not the Universal Cheerleading Associa- tion, but our athletic department The cheerleaders are not asking for the athletic department to fully fund the trip but only to help out We're all proud of our cheerleaders for the na- tional ranking but I think the cheer- leaders deserve a chance to prove themselves on a national level. I re- ally do not think Mr. Workman, Assis- tant Athletics Director, does under- stand how much this means to our cheerleaders. It is a time that they can prove to people like me that cheerleading is a sport, and to prove to other schools that ECU should be recognized for having a very talented cheerleading squad. Lets sic look at it this way, some NCAA schools would love to be ranked 15th and have the opportu- nity to compete at the Nationals. 1 just feel since the opportunity is there to go, the Athletic Department should be willing to help financially. The last thing I want to discuss is that our cheerleaders should receive a little more credit than just a "stu- dent support group This group does so much but yet only ask sic for so little - the chance to compete nation- ally. Eric Withers Freshman Who spray-painted the roadside flowers black? I tried to enjoy them yesterday, bwt they were shellacked with a watertight coat of K-Mart mat black, no luster at all. One of the great niceties of the modem world which seems to con- sole people is that even if what we're looking at isn't all beauty and sub- stance, at least is has a shiny coating to make them coo happily. Not so anymore, I'm afraid. As soon as the chrome goes on, it starts to rust and flake away, and then, each time more quickly than the last, it's gone. Part of the problem is that ev- eryone, myself included, wants to know When . The Great Question on everyone's mind used to be Why. Sometimes it was How . Leonardo da Vinci was a prime example of the searching soul, always wanting to know the Why and QieHow of ev- erything around him; Why do circles of water not break when they inter- sect? How could a man achieve the power of flight? Pick out any one of the blissed- in-ignorance masses and you'd be lucky if they could tell you anything else about Leonardo apart from the fact that he painted the Mona Lisa and had a buffoonish cartoon turtle named after him. Brian Wright Opinion Columnist It doesn't matter there's always a pack of straving bloodsuckers. Today, we've changed the Great Question to When . When am I go- ing to have any money? When is the latest possible date I can put off pay- ing the rent until? When is some- one, anyone, going to crawl out of the woodwork and speak honestly with me? Everyone is hung up on When , and the reason for this is because THE ROSES ARE DEAD, PEOPLE! Those roses that we're supposed to stop and smell every now and then to remind us of our strengths and our frailties and our need for simple pleasures to keep from liquefying our minds are dead, killed by generations of hollow greed and apathy and idle- ness, and the only question left which we think to try to answer is the one which we believe is all that keeps us from being lift blighted and cut down by the side of a six hundred and sixty- six lane highway. The ladder of success gets taller all the time, and as it grows, the rungs get fewer and farther apart, and it gets worse and worse to be down on the low end of the totem. It doesn't matter if you're on the rock- bottom; there's always going to be a pack of starving bloodsuckers to chase you down and drain you dry. One of the hundred-percent cer- tainties in life is that it can always get worse, and you will always have something more to lose. Ask Job. So, the talisman-When . Take heart, though, because eventually the ladder's going to reach all the way to Jupiter and there will be only one rung left, too high up for even the heavyweights like Donald Trump and his billion-dollar springboard to reach, and then we'll be right back where we started, like Roddy McDowel riding bareback on a horse across the decimated Earth to stumble across the Statue of Lib- erty tipped over and sunk into the sand. To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article written by Calvin Arrington in the February 21 issue of the East Caro- linian. I agree strongly with all the points made in the article regarding the difficulty pro-lifers are making the abortion process. My opinion on abortion has al- ways leaned towards pro-choice, but I disagree with people using it as a form of birth control. The fact still remains that it is legal, therefore should be accepted by everyone, even pro-lifers. I am sick of pro-lifers criticizing and ridiculing those who decide to have an abortion. Personally, I feel having an abortion is a very personal decision. Having a mass of people yell- ing at me and glaring at me as I en- tered a clinic would make me feel very uncomfortable. Everyone needs to realize abortion is a legal proce- dure and should treat it like one as well. There is nothing wrong with voicing your opinion, but pro-lifers are getting to sic carried away. They are threatening peoples sic lives and jeopardizing doctors sic medical ca- reers. How killing a pregnant women sic choosing to have an abortion saves lives and proves morality is be- yond me. The point of legalizing abortion; was so women can have the opera tion done by a professional in a sani-1 tary environment, not by some ran- dom person in a back alley claiming to be a doctor. Pro-lifers should stop interfering, and allow each women sic her own choice. Erin Fleming Freshman j Elementary Education I To the Editor: There are many things in a movie that can be misunderstood but how did everybody miss the point of A Rea- son to Believe! It appalls me that Greek reputations are placed above important things like date rape. A Reason to Believe used realistic people in totally believable situations to create a cold look into the darker side of downtown. Date rape is some- thing that anyone could end up fac- ing, especially if they are a part of the downtown scene. It does not strike in specific groups, races, stereotypes, or on certain campuses. It is every- where. With the popularity of Greeks and the social power that it givs them they make very realistic and modern backdrops for what has hap- pened on campuses everywhere, to Greeks and non-Greeks alike. So what if the characters were Greek? That does not attach an instant bad repu- tation to anyone who has pledged. If anything, it gives Greeks the chance to take action against date rape in their own organizations and in oth- 1 : i ers, all in the public eye. Greeks have, their own personals in this very pai per. so obviousty they are a social bunch. Date rape is a very real and very big social problem. Greeks are large part of the university con.mu nity. With that power Greeks could; really do something about date rapeT at East Carolina University instead oC setting up their next date. Next tim? you see a movie, pay attention.

'This is what I want to do And I changed my major the next day The play was Kiss Me, Kate, and the speakerwas John Shearin. Chairman of ECU's Theater and Dance Department. That decision to change his major started Shearin on an illustrious career that landed him first in New York City and finally here in Greenville. Shearin has been involved in the theater in some way for most of his life. His father was an ac- tor, and although Shearin didn't re- ally get into it until college, the the- ater has always been a part of his life. For over 20 years, he acted and di- rected in New York City, experience that undoubtedly helps him now that he has turned his attention to a new role as an educator. However, this role may be one of the more difficult ones he has faced. For John Shearin, a typical day begins around 8:30 a.m. He spends about half an hour preparing for a 9 a.m. staff meeting. Topics for these meetings range from preparing for productions to scheduling and from picking out the season to arranging for guest artists. After the meeting, he tends to his daily business and teaches. Each fall he teaches a directing class, and each spring he teaches a course titled Profes- s i o n a 1 Prepara- tion. On top of all of that. Shearin has an open door policy for his students and staff. He doesn't post office hours or schedule appoint- ments. Instead, people are encouraged to drop by whenever he is in to dis- cuss classes, auditions, problems - or just to say hi. "Then, around 5:00, if I'm direct- ing. 1 like to close my blinds, grab a sandwich, come in here and put my feet up, and then get out my script and work on that for that evening's rehearsal Shearin said. During this time, he reads over the script and re- views notes and blocking. Then, from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. or so. he's at re- hearsal. Already this year he has di- rected Federico Garcia Lorca's Blood Wedding, and currently he is work- ing on Shakespeare's Twelfth Sight. Shearin said that his family is very supportive of his hectic schedule be- cause they all love the theater. When directing, he calls home every night and makes sure to have breakfast with his family every morning. "The time I spend with my fam- ily is extremely important to me said Shearin. He has three children, ages 9,8 and 6. all of whom show talent in the performing arts. His son has been playing the guitar since he was 5 years old. "He doesn't like to perform very much, but he loves to play His old- est daughter, he says, is "very taken with ballet "And my youngest daughter has the makings of an actress, I fear he said with a smile.

Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor I really don't know why I com- plain. I mean, there are much worse places to live. It's not like Greenville is the armpit of the universe or any- thing. I know. I've been there. Being possessed of little or no money this spring break, I spent the great majority of my blissful week off right here in the Emerald City. So I got to enjoy more of the bizarre tem- perature swings that have wrecked my health since Christmas. I was able to appreciate the wonder and glory of afternoons spent in the nearly- abandoned Joyner Library. I wit- nessed local residents taking control of downtown, keeping the bars open in our absence. In short, 1 soaked in the whole Greenville experience for another tedious week. Except, of course, for the 24 hours 1 spent visiting my parents in Halifax County. And that, my friends, made the rest of my week in Greenville seem like heaven. I don't have a lot in common with my parents anymore. I'm one of those conservative horror stories of the son who went off to college and got changed by all the strange ideas put in his head by big-brain profes- sors. So I really don't care about NASCAR races, and I didn't grow up to develop an appreciation for coun- try music like my brother. These be- ing the two things that occupy most of my parents' leisure hours, conver- sation tends to grind to a halt once we've updated each other on the de- tails of our hectic lives. But I can deal with that. I've been dealing with that for several years now. I guess it's kind of dys- functional, but that's the way it goes. No, my parents certainly didn't make my visit a hell-trip. It's the area they ive in that's the problem. Halifax County is consistently one of the poorest counties in the state, with an accompanying high il- literacy rate. The best jobs in the area are at a paper mill. The onry bar is a country joint; there used to be a dance place, but that was shut down because too many fights broke out in and around the place. The final straw was when somebody was knifed to death in the parking lot a few years ago. Like the great majority of East- ern North Carolina, the population is stupid and proud of it. This even spills over onto the smart people; it's like a poison. One of my best friends from high school is now a scary gun- toting survivalist who delights in ex- plaining his more outrageous social theories to me, his "liberal" buddy, just to get a rise out of me. I can't even tell when he's serious anymore. The place is a pit, a black hole suck- ing everyone who lives there down into some incredible gothic cesspool. Compared to my hometown, Greenville is a model of culture. I came to this realization while watching a movie with some relatively sane friends of mine, their three-year- old daughter and a menagerie of pets. Their aquarium-filled living room hummed with the vibrations of seem- ingly countless motors in the dark. As the TV light flickered across my face, the subliminal fish-throb began to move in odd counterpoint to the gruntings of their new pig. One of the ferrets caged in the corner picked up on the groove and scratched des- perately in its bedding. Something snapped. Suddenly, I desperately wanted a cup of strong, black Percolator cof- fee. I wanted to jump into a mosh pit at O'Rock's. I wanted to see a free movie at Hendrix Theatre. I wanted to go to a play, a poetry reading, a decent pizza joint. I wanted to turn on the radio and listen to a band I'd never heard of. In short, I wanted to be in Greenville, where I can do any of these things with alarming regular- ity. Don't get me wrong; I still think this city could be tons cooler than it is. I'm sure I'll complain bitterly in the not-too-distant future about our lack of something that I think would be a great thing to have. But I may not complain as loudly, or as often. We certainly don't have a cultural Mecca here in the Emerald City, but it could be worse. Oh God. could it ever be worse. vAlVb, Motorcade 01 GQijcrositj tMHiU.Mll- t?

Yi Take good long look at BAD TV Matthew Sweet 100 Fun Meredith Langley Assistant Lifestyle Editor We've all heard the old saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too and at one time or another we have all be- lieved it Well, the band Cake has defi- nitely put that old cliche to the test with their new CD Motorcade of Generosity. With interesting rhythms and the addition of an organ and a trumpet Cake mixes their alternative ideas and makes them float on this 13-song album. The first song. "Comanche struck me with a hard slap of hilarity because I did not know what to expect when I hit the play button. "You need to straiten your posture and suck in your gut You need to pull back your shoulders and tighten your butt" were the first words out of singer John McCrea's mouth, and I thought I was going to die. "Ruby Sees AH" is one of my favor- ites off the album because the instru- ments mix together so well. It's one of those songs that you know takes talent to write. The chorus, which I really like, goes "When the seaweed sinks and the sun gets low When the world sinks down to the darkness below" has a conga- like beat and to be honest it rocks the free world. Some of the songs have a country sound to them, but the lyrics pick them up and make them interesting to listen to. In the song "Pentagram" there is a very distinct country feel, but the lyrics are about Pagan rituals and there's one rather funny line about how "her feet are dry with the ashes of dead babies And that is only the beginning. Nearly all of the songs have a Mexi- can feel to them because they use mara- cas and other noise makers as part of the rhythm section. This gives Cake an Kris Hoffler Staff Writer See CAKE page 8 Matthew Sweet's smooth and hook-laden pop tunes are often chock full of darkness, depression and weirdness. Much of the feed- back he got from his last two al- bums, Girlfriend and Altered Beast, was concerning his dark choice of subject matter, so Sweet sarcasti- cally told everyone he was going to entitle his next album 100 Fun. True to his word, Sweet's latest re- lease is called 100 Fun, and it is filled to the brim with his same crafty pop tunes and melancholy lyrics. Like on his previous releases. Sweet plays about half of all the in- struments on the album. The man is a talented musician. His list of instruments include electric rhythm, lead. 12-string and acous- tic guitars, electric bass, acoustic and electric pianos, electric harp- sichord, RMl piano, mini-synthe- sizer, theremin (whatever that is) and vocals. On top of all that he wrote all the lyrics and music for the album. Sweet recruited the help of Brendan O'Brien to produce the al- bum. O'Brien is noted for bringing out the best in such artists as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, the Black Crowes and even Bob Dylan. Does this mean that Sweet is setting his sights firmly on commercial suc- cess? Maybe. The album opens with "Sick ol Myself the first single. This is a pure rock tune with Sweet's trade- mark harmonies and bittersweet lyrics. His favorite subject seems to be dysfunctional relationships and this song delivers just that. "But See SWEET page 7 NEW YORK (AP) - First of all, dear viewer, you must be clear on the distinction between "bad" and "BAD According to Craig Nelson, "bad at least when applied to TV shows, is that which is boring and stupid and crying for clicker- oblivion. BAD television is a joy forever. At least it is for Nelson, who cared enough to watch the very worst compiling The Very Best of the Very Worst of BAD TV. What he ended up with is a funny read, a rigorously researched reference and a shrewd celebration of human folly by people who brought you BAD TV like Where's Everett? (1966; Alan Alda and Patricia Smith adopt a baby who's not only from another planet but also invisible). The book's first section is "BAD Classics Hall of Fame whose dozens of entries include The Brady Bunch. Dark Shadows, Mod Squad and Lost in Space. Then Nelson moves on to his self-styled "Tammi Awards named in honor of that great symbol of waste. Three Mile Island. For each television genre. Nelson confers from one to six Tammies on such deserving BAD TV as She's the Sheriff, Lancelot Link. Secret Ghimp. It Pays to be Stupid, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, the long ago Studs' Place (1949) and then his most recent inclusion. Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Nelson devotes a chapter to BAD things that happen to good people. Life with Lucy (1986s pain- fullv short lived return to sitcoms by a septuagenarian Lucille Ball) and David Cassidy - Man Under- cover pratfall into this category. Another chapter, "Curses plumbs certain mysteries of the BAD-TV universe, pondering why Tim Conway could never make it as a series star. This book is a virtual Poor Richards Almanac of BAD-TV max- ims. Check out these words to live by: - If you're a cop, it may be more trouble than it's worth to have a partner who's from another planet. - If you're married to, best friends with, or next-door neigh- bors of your polar opposite, it'll be a living hell for you, but a laugh- riot for your friends. And. of course: - If your life is dull, buy a chim- panzee. The idea for BAD TV came to Nelson in a vision. "With the coming 500-channel world of television, there will be more and more room for horrible shows Nelson reasons. "I saw the need for a guide to all of them By day a just-turned-40 editor who specializes in pop-culture books, this unabashed fan of tele- vision devoted his after-hours to compiling lists, tracking down shows and screening his BAD con- tenders.

The song is saturated with fuzzy guitars and a bashing beat and presents a compelling look at self-loathing. Many of the tracks address similar ideas of fear and loathing, something Sweet seems to be at home with. You can find his dark despairing lyrics in ballad-like tunes as well. "Everything Changes" is one of those. It is given an even more despairing feel by the addi- tion of a pedal steel guitar, cour- tesy of k.d. lang's guitarist Greg Leisz. Like many people in his age group, Sweet has a deep affinity for pop culture. Japanese animation, video games and monster movies hold a special fascination for him. "Though this record deals with the more human side of life, there are some songs that have a weirder, wackier perspective Sweet says. "I'm into sci-fi monster music and I think those songs help give the album an added kick This idea helped to produce some of the more complex tunes on this album like "Lost My Mind Walk Out" and "Super Baby "Super Baby" stands out among these with its nightmarish sound of vertigo-inducing guitars set against sweeping keyboards and thunderous percussion.

Sweet has broken some new ground here. The album ends with a trade- mark ballad. Sweet croons on "Smog Moon "There's a lost man with a bitter soul only for a mo- ment did life make him whole The slide steel guitar adds an ex- tra ache to this tender and mourn- ful tune. 700 Fun is probably Sweet's most spontaneous and creative record to date. Sweet says, "I usu- ally have a harder time assessing my work when I'm finished recording, but this album still feels fresh. I didn't have to overthink anything. It's a very immediate sort of record This release does have a more ma- ture sound and an obviously more comfortable feel than any of his pre- vious releases. Sweet is at the top of his game; his song crafting abili- ties have been refined and the more subtle aspects of the artist are able to show through. The influences of the past are apparent on this release; the Beatles are a definite source here. The mu- sic of the past is treated with rever- ence on this album yet at the same time the distinct personal stamp of the creator helps to keep it origi- nal. Overall, 100 Fun is a great album, the introspective directness of Girlfriend meets the noisy aspect of Altered Beast and the result is a spacier and more lively piece of work. Sweet is a master of the pop tune, but considering how well he does it, this does not take away from his work. This is a great album.

I don't know who Cake's influ- ences are, but they remind me of an eclectic assortment of bands ranging from the Flaming Lips to the Velvet Underground. They also have this great ability for wnting lyrics that range from being ambiguous to very blunt This lyrical ability is reminiscent of past They Might Be Giants songs, especially ones off their album Flood. The strength of this band Jies with their ability, and their ideas. In other words, they're not out there just try- ing to please the public with the same old alternative crap; they're playing what they like. It seems that they're catching on because they've played with the rap act Disposable Heroes of Hiphopricy and the Monks of Doom, who boast members of the former Camper Van Beethoven. Cake's CD Motorcade of Gener- osity is definitely one of those albums that should be added to your musical collection. They'll make you laugh and they'll make you dance; what more could you want? how good each of them is at such a young age. And I can't claim credit for any of it But I'm very proud of them Outside of his family, Shearin's other love is Shakespeare. If given the chance, he would love another oppor- tunity to play Macbeth. He has played that role before, but he feels he can better understand Macbeth now that he is more mature. "I think I under- stand the character through life expe- riences a lot better now than 1 did. I have a deeper human empathy with him now, though I kind of hate to say that" he said, laughing. It is surprising that he wants an- other shot at that particular role, con- sidering what happened the first time he tried it "I was skeptical about the cursp n Macbeth until I did it We tried to do it in an outdoor theater as part of the 'Dark Night' up in Williamsburg "We tried to open our production of Macbeth on three consecutive Sun- day nights and each time the day would start out beautifully and the clouds would start gathering in the late after- noon. By the time the witches were coming up over this hill the thunder would start and the lightning would start and all three nights, by the time I came on to make that first entrance, a full, raging thunderstorm was happen- ing "This happened all thr nights. So we finally decided to take it inside. I'll never forget I was standing in the wings, getting ready to go on, and all of a sudden BANC! a stage weight fell out of the grid and landed on the floor right next to me. Well. I jumped out on stage and 1 started doing that show, and I think we set a record for how fast that show went I doubt if I was intelligible to a soul, I was so ter- rified. 1 think we did the whole play in about an hour and 15 minutes Shearin stressed the importance of seeing Shakespeare's plays per- formed, rather than just reading them. He also said, however, that the perfor- mance must be a good one. "Seeing a bad performance of anything can put you right off of a play or a playwright But to see a performance that really attempts to realize what's in the mate- rial it makes it more accessible than reading ever could Because of his belief in the impor- tance of Shakespeare's plays, many of them, including Romeo and Juliet m& this year's Twelfth Night, have been included in the ECU Playhouse season. "The hardest part of the job is pick- ing the season, because there are thou- sands of plays I want to do and life just isn't long enough to do them all he said. He does try to choose the plays, with the help of the department faculty, with an eye towards the educational mis- sion of the ECU Playhouse. That mis- sion, he said, is threefold - "to provide material that gives the people in our program a variety of experiences, to provide education for the university and to enrich the theater experience of the whole community John Shearin has been extremely successful in enriching the theater experience of the Greenville commu- nity and at ECU in particular. To see his influence in action, check out Twelfth Night at McGinnis Audito- rium in April. Let's hope no curses strike this one.

"He's a unique player in the way he plays - kind of like a "poor man's Larry Bird" out there. I give him a lot of credit American coach Chris Knoche was ecstatic about his team's per- formance. "Justice triumphs he said. "I'm pleased for the guys on the team, we had so many bad breaks early in the year. It was a great win for us, we played the team with the best overall record in the league Anton Gill led the Pirates with 22 points and Chuckie Robinson had 13 points and 8 rebounds in what would prove to be the duo's final game in a Pirate uniform. "It's definitely a tough way to end my career Gill said. "I'm just disappointed we didn't play as well as we could have, but we just blew it American led 32-30 at halftime in a half in which there were nu- merous scoring runs by both team. ECU tied the game 34-34 at the 17: 52 mark with a basket by Gill, but would trail the rest of the game. American extended to a 5547 lead with just over nine minutes re- maining.

"That's was big shot, and a big play said Knoche. ECU battled back and got within 2 points at 64-62 with 2:35 left, but American point guard Darryl Franklin continued this team's hot shooting performance with a three-pointer from the right wing to give the Eagles a 67-62 lead with just over two minutes remain- ing. Pirate guard Skipp Schaefbauer brought ECU within striking dis- tance with a long three-pointer with just under two minutes remaining that made the score 67-65. But once again American ex- ecuted their offense to perfection, running down the shot clock before a streaking Duane Gilliam hit a layup that gave the Eagles a lead that they would never relinquish at 69-65. American shot an amazing 67 percent from the field and the sec- ond half, and 55 percent from the game. The Eagles outrebounded the Pirates 30-23.

File Photo Eagles shut down shooters Bashafn and Schaefbauer held to seven points Brad Oldham Staff Writer Going into the game against ECU, American University head coach Chris Knoche knew that Anton Gill was going to have a good game. He knew that the All-CAA selection player would play the type of game that had earned him such high honors during the season, and that Gill would prob- ably score twenty or so points. So Knoche's defensive game plan centered around the rest of the Pirate offense, particularly sophomore sharp- shooters Tim Basham and Skipp Schaefbauer. He figured that if he could contain the ECU offense eut- side of Gill, he would come out with a victory. Knoche figured right. Not only did Knoche s game plan work to perfection, considering he held Basham and Schaefbauer to a combined seven points, but he also had his players in a tournament state of mind. While ECU came into the game a bit soft and out of sync, AU was certainly the more focused team on the task at hand. Aside from Gill, who played an extremely dedicated game in his fi- nal contest at ECU, the Pirates played sluggishly. It wasn't until a twelve- point run in the middle of the half did the Pirates look like the same team that had pulled off end-of-the- season victories over teams such as UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington. After a eight-point lead with eight minutes to play, though, the Pirates fell into the same routine that plagued them at the beginning of the first half. Letting Eagle center Chris- tian Ast dominate the glass for de- fensive rebounds, Ast scorched the Pirates on the other end, hitting three of four treys in the half. ECU freshman point guard Tony Parham helped to keep the Pirates afloat with a couple of big three-pointers. As far as Basham and Schaefbauer went they were a combined one for seven from the floor with just two points scored. It wasn't until the 11:38 mark of the second half that Basham fi nally scored, but he already had ac- cumulated three fouls. Meanwhile, the Eagles were getting solid play from freshman reserve Nathan Smith, who came off the bench to score 16 points for American. Ast continued to control the boards in the second half, and amassed a ca- reer-high 13 rebounds. Knoche kept his players under control in the sec- ond half, with role players such as court leader Darryl Franklin and Duane Gilliam playing superb defense on the Pirate shooters, and AU ended up pulling off the first round upset. So for two straight years now, ECU exits Richmond after the first round. The fourth seed was the high- est the Pirates have ever been going into the tournament Aside from Gill, who played solid from start to fin- ish, ECU played well only in spurts. Most of the players had decent per- formances, but come tournament time, consistency from tip-off to the final play is needed, and American pulled that off. materialized. wm?m.

Fisher becoming 'mentally tough' Sam Fisher Scott Batchelor Staff Writer Photo by GARRETT KILLIAN Today's papers are full of coach- player relationships gone bad. Chris Webber, Scottit" Pippen and the DayGlo-haired Dennis Rodman are only a few examples of what happens when a player and a coach do not get along. However, ECU'S Sam Fisher not only gets along with his coach, he considers head tennis coach Bill Moore a friend. "Coach Moore is the reason I came to ECU Fisher said. "We have a really cool relationship The feeling is mutual. Before Spring Break, the tennis team, Moore included, amused themselves before practice by playing touch football. The coach and the pupil were on the same team, giving high-fives and do- ing touchdown dances. So was friendship the only rea- son Fisher decided to transfer from Pembroke State University at the conclusion of his freshman.year? "Coach is a sports psychologist" Fisher said. "1 thought that he could help me with the mental part of my game. 1 have always had the funda- mentals, but I lost a lot of close matches because my head was not in the game. My only regret is that I didn't come here my freshman year. I think I could be a much better player if I would have Since his arrival in Greenville, Fisher has learned the art of being mentally tough. He saw his first ac- tion on the courts last year, going 4- 5 in singles and 1-1 in doubles, on a team that consisted of three seniors. He has yet to play a singles match in 1995, but will see extensive action as this season progresses. Fisher arrived at ECU with great credentials. He amassed a 47-17 high See FISHER page 12 ??

The Pirates will hold 15 practice sessions dur- ing the spring, culminating with the annual Purple-Gold Game on April 8. Coach Steve Logan will put the Pirates in pads on Wednesday and Thursday before working out in shorts on Friday. Practice ses- sions will usually begin around 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. on Saturdays. One of the new faces taking the field on Wednesday will be that of James Webster, who will coach the outside linebackers. Webster came to ECU from Dartmouth, where he coached the inside linebackers last season. He replaces Chuck Pagano, who coached the Pirate secondary last season. Pagano left ECU for Mi- ami (Fla.). Jim Fleming, who coached outside linebackers last season, will move to the second- ary. Logan and his staff will use spring practice to shore up several key positions. On offense, senior Jerris McPhail will get the "rst nod in replacing record-setting running back Junior Smith. Also, junior Lamont Burns will get rep- etitions with the starting unit at right guard. On defense, replacements for Willie Brookins at the leo end po- sition and John Krawczyk at noseguard will be of utmost impor- tance. The trio of junior Daniel Russ, senior Jermaine Smith and freshman Travis Darden will battle for the leo end spot, while Alphonso Collins, a true sopho- more, will get first dibs at noseguard. ECU has 22 returning start- ers (including specialists) from a team which finished 7-5 last sea- son with a berth in the St. Jude Liberty Bowl. Webster, an 18-year college coaching veteran, has joined the East Carolina University football coaching staff, school officials an- nounced Tuesday. He will coach the outside linebackers. "James brings a lot of experi- ence to our coaching staff said ECU head coach Steve Logan. "He has coached in many successful programs and knows what it takes to make one a winner. I'm sure he'll help us build onto what we already have here Webster comes to ECU from Dartmouth College, where he coached the inside linebackers for one season. He has also been an assistant coach at Wake Forest (1988-93), coaching the defensive ends, Northwestern (1982-83), working with the defensive backs, and he has coached the lineback- ers at Colorado (1979-80), Kansas (1975-78) and Florida (1974). He began his collegiate coaching career, working with the junior varsity at North Carolina in 1973. Webster, a 1972 graduate of North Carolina, was a standout defensive player for the Tar Heels. He was named the Most Valuable Defensive Player for UNC in the 1971 Gator Bowl and has an award established at UNC for him. The Jim Webster Award is given to the best defensive player in the UNC-Wake Forest football game each season. He was also given the Brian Piccolo Award by the Atlantic Coast Conference in Feb 1972. While working at Wake For- est, Webster served on the President's Race Relations Com- mission. Webster and his wife, Cornelia, have a son, Kali. Three Pirates given post-season awards at banquet Brad Oldham Sporta Writer The CAA Tournament banquet was held the Friday night before the tournament, and after hourly reflections on NBA glory days by Kevin Grevey and Bill Walton, the 1995 CAA awards were handed out Old Dominion's Petey Sessoms was named Player of the Year. The 6-foot-7 senior from Portsmouth, Va. ranked second in the CAA in both scoring with 22.1 points per game and rebounding with 8.3 re- bounds per game. Sessoms follows in the footsteps of fellow Monarch Odell Hodge, who won the award last year. Sessoms was named First Team All-CAA for the third year in a row. James Madison's Louis Rowe, who led the conference in scoring for the season, came in second in MVP voting, and was placed on the First Team. Richmond's Kass Weaver and American's Christian Ast were also on the first team. For the first time since Blue Edwards made first-team All-CAA honors in 1988-89, ECU put a player on the first team. Senior Anton Gill led the Pirates in both scoring with 16.6 ppg and rebounds with 7.3 rpg. In earning First Team All-CAA honors, Gill scored in double figures in 26 games, along with five double-doubles on the season. The All-CAA Second Team was made up of ODU senior forward Mike Jones, George Mason Univer- sity sophomore Nate Langley, UNC- Wilmington's Preston McGriff and Chris Meighen and Kurt Small of William & Mary. In the All-Rookie awards, GMU's Langley was named the 1995 CAA Rookie of the Year. Av- eraging 19.4 ppg, the Washington D.C. native is the second consecu- tive Patriot to win Rookie of the Year honors, following last season's winner Curtis McCants. ECU point guard Tony Parham was named to the All-Rookie Team. Also from Washington, D.C, Parham averaged nine points and 3.3 assists for the Pirates this sea- son. American's Matt Brown, ODU's Brion Dunlap, and Ricmond's Eric I Poole rounded out the AU-Rooki team. The All-Defense team had two Monarchs - Sessoms and junior Duffy Samuels, along with Langley and James Coleman from JMU and W&M's David Cully. The All-Academic Team had GMU's McCants, JMU's Kerft Culuko, AU's Darryl Franklin, UNCW's Bill Mayew and Christ( Meighen, and ECU's Skipp Schaefbauer. , First-year Old Dominion heacT coach Jeff Capel was named 19951 CAA Coach of the Year.

Blackmon was named second team All-CAA for fhe second straight year. She led ECU in scor- ing, averaging 15.8 points per game, and was second in re- bounds (6.6 rpg). The junior forward from Snow Hill, NC ranked second in the league against CAA oppo- nents in scoring (16.1 ppg), field goal percentage (53.5) and is 10th in rebounding (6.5 rpg). Blackmon missed ECU's first eight games -of the season after tearing the ACL in her left knee during ECU's Nov. 22 exhibition game. She returned to action against James Madison on Janu- ary 13 and has played the last 18 games with a partially torn ACL. Since her return she has scored in double figures in 15 games, recorded three "double- doubles" and scored 20 points in four outings. Allpress, a sophor ore guard from Barton-Under-Needwood, England was named to the CAA All-Academic team. A part-time starter for ECU, Allpress averages 7.3 points per game and 3.2 as- sists and ranks ninth in the league in 3-pointers per game and 7th in assists. David Gaskirts Recreational Services With the recent Spring Break a memory, intramural basketball playoffs have resumed with a small number of teams challenging for divisional and all- campus titles. Each of the divisions are down to eight or fewer teams and die post-break action is expected to be in- tense and hotty contested In Men's Gold, the "Total Package" appears set to de- fend their championship again behind a tremendous pressing defense and ex- tremely cohesive offense. However, a number of other teams are present as eager challengers. The "Deadly Venoms" seek to rebound from earlier losses behind a fast-breaking style lead by point guard Chris Pressley and slashers Derrick Harris, Anthony Bamett and Derek McCreight "Knee Deep" also appears to be in the hunt with the Bernard Cooper dominating inside.

Sports officiating regardless of the level of play, is often subject to intense criticism. However, the task of dealing with players, making split second decisions and properly apply- ing rules and mech s is a special- ized skill all to itself. The sports officiating program at ECU is nationally recognized for ex- cellence based on the performances of some of its top referees in extra- mural competition and the placement of numerous individuals in advanced levels of competition. In flag football, ECU has sent top officials to regional tournaments in North Carolina and Georgia as well as the National Invitational Flag Foot- ball Championships in New Orleans, LA, where they have further distin- guished themselves by working into the final rounds. During the recent Schick SuperHoops 3-on-3 Basketball Regionals, eight officials were selected for this event as' well. At present, 26 individuals are working the basketball program, prob- ably ECU's most demanding sport A number of the program's finest also apply their trade in other settings. See SPORT page 12 (AP) - After 144 years, the un- thinkable finally happened in an America's Cup race. The yacht OneAustralia broke in two in heavy wind and fierce Pa- cific Ocean waves, and sank within two minutes. All 17 crew members were rescued. "This team that we have is a red- hot racing team, and we're condi- tioned for the ups as well as the downs skipper John Bertrand said after the worst accident in America's Cup history. "You don't practice abandoning the ship so that it can go to the bottom of the ocean The $3 million OneAustralia, launched in January, was sailing its ninth race. The Australians will continue on in the trials in their older boat, which sailed in the first two round- robins of the chJlenger trials. "We (Australians) are known for our bush fires and floods. We come from very strong stock said Bertrand, who became the first for- eign skipper to win the America's Cup in a dramatic upset of Dennis Conner in 1983. "We have to focus our energy into our first boat and go on with- out equipment and win the America's Cup The surreal drama began half- way through the 18.55-mile race, with one Australia trailing Team New Zealand on the windward third leg, through a squall. The crew had just completed a tack onto starboard and was trim- ming the sails when the gumleaf green hull, made of carbon fiber, buckled about five feet aft of the mast. "We heard a loud crack, just like a cannon going off said Bertrand, who thought the rigging was coming down. "And then the boat appeared to start to fold like a sheet of cardboard through the cen- ter, and (there was) this sickening sound as the boat was breaking apart The crew abandoned ship as the 75-foot hull folded in on itself, and chase boats from both teams raced in. New Zealand's chase boat picked up 10 crew members, including Bertrand and helmsman Rod Davis. "We told everyone to take off their boots and get the hell out of there Bertrand said. "Half the team were in the wa- ter still, being picked up by the chase boats, when the top of the mast was disappearing into the ocean he said. "It's unbelievable Bertrand said there was con- cern when an initial head count came up one short. "It was a terrible look to see a lot of foul-weather gear floating on top of the surface and a few OneAustralia hats, and nothing else Bertrand said. Besides the foul-weather gear, only a sail bag and a piece of debris floated on the surface. Also Sunday, France 3 dismasted and a Stars & Stripes crewman was left dangling upside down from the running backstay, 65 feet off the deck, after losing his grip while descending from making a repair. This is the second America's Cup contested in the International America's Cup Class yachts. To best handle San Diego's usually light, shifty winds, the yachts are built as light as possible and put under ex- tremely heavy loads. "And therefore when one sails them in the maximum conditions then they're fully stressed out Bertrand said. "We're still unclear exactly how this boat broke up, and why Bertrand said Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating would be asked to contact the U.S. Navy to see if the yacht could be salvaged. The yacht, which sank in about 500 feet of water some 3-5 miles off the coast, had 11 of the syndicate's 35 sails on board and its best mast. OneAustralia officials said they will not be ready to sail a sched- uled race against France 3. All for- eign syndicates except the French agreed to reschedule the race. The international jury was to make a decision on the postponement is- sue. Should the jury refuse to re- schedule the race, France would need to just sail the race course alone to pick up five points. Team New Zealand, OneAustralia and NZL-39 are in the challenger semifinals. Bertrand said OneAustralia, Team New Zealand and France ad- vised the race committee that the conditions were unfit for racing. Race official Pat Healy said the conditions did not exceed pre-de- termined parameters. The swell was between 5 and 6 feet, and Bertrand said gauges on the mast showed the true wind at 20-22 knots when the hull snapped. Not long after OneAustralia sank, the 110-foot mast on France 3 broke at the third spreader, and two men were thrown overboard. They were immediately pulled back on. Rioja de Espana sailed on for the victory. In the only race that was com- pleted, Sydney 95 beat Nippon by 1 minute, 22 seconds. The race jury rejected Nippon's protest that the race shouldn't have been sailed in such conditions. On the defender course, the America3 women's team won its second straight race in Mighty Mary, although opponent Stars & Stripes did not finish. Stars & Stripes also sustained damage and eventually dropped its mainsail, sailing upwind with only a jib. Mighty Mary eventually did the same. expands T TVF.

Shooters ! Specials Specials Specials! THURSDAY Block Party (AP) - Phoenix and Tampa Bay will get major league baseball in 1998 if own- ers approve the recommendation of their expansion committee. The cities received recommenda- tions from the committee last Tuesday night The committee is recommending the two new teams begin play in 1998. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays will play in the ThunderDome in St Petersburg, Fla. The Arizona Diamondbacks will play in a retractable-roof stadium that will be built at a cost estimated at $275 million. A vote came Thursday, and approval ieasily took place. Committee chairman John Harrington briefed owners on Friday. "I will tell the full ownership group where we are on the sites Harrington said without disclosing the recommen- dation. "We still have some work to do on them Harrington said of the recommen- dations. If one team is added to both the American and National leagues, it would create two' 15-team circuits and necessi- tate the start of interleague play. The five groups that made 30- minute presentations to the expansion committee said they weren't discourage by baseball's constant labor battles. "I don't want this to sound trite, but it can't get any worse said Phoenix Suns president Jerry Colangelo, who heads his area's group. "It can only get better. I think it's bottomed out" Vincent Naimoli heads the Florida group. His bid to buy the San Francisco Giants and move them to St Petersburg was rejected by the National League owners in November 1992, prompting an antitrust suit that's still pending "I'm elated he said earty today af- ter hearing the unofficial reports that he would get a franchise. Naimoli wanted to call his team the Stingrays, but the Hawaiian Winter League team in Maui already owns the trademark to that name. Owners said they must press ahead with a decision because of the deadline faced by Colangelo's group. Maricopa County approved $253 million of fund- ing for the stadium but authority to levy the tax to pay for the ballpark will expire unless a franchise is granted by April 1. Colangelo said his belief in the Phoe- nix market was one of the reasons his group was willing to pay up to $140 mil- lion. "If someone handed me one-third of the teams in baseball, I wouldn't touch them with a lOfoot pole he said. Baseball officials told all expansion groups that if they get teams, they may be excluded from national broadcasting money for up to three seasons. The Colo- rado Rockies and Florida Marlins, who joined the National League in 1993, did not receive national broadcasting money in their inaugural seasons. Colangelo joked about the expan- sion fee. Colorado and Florida paid $95 million each. "Assuming the price is $75 or $80 million, we'll have an all-cash deal he said. "They laughed. They thought it was funny Bill Collins' northern Virginia group, which would call its team the Fury, immediately became a favorite to get a team in the second round of expan- sion.

The Fraternity Gold bracket features some huge crowds as "Pi Kappa Alpha A" faces "Sigma Phi Epsilon A" in one semi-final and "Kappa Alpha A" goes against "Lambda Chi Alpha A" in the other. Men's Purple has proven to be one of the more difficult divisions to forecast as some of the expected frontrunners have been eliminated. The "Monster Squad" boasts a dominant big man in Brian Levering, who has completely con- trolled all opposition in the playoffs as well as several top long-range shooters. The "Bumpkins" are lead by savvy guards Chad Willliams. who fires from the outside and runs the attack, and Jim Calhoun, a big-time three-point threat The Fraternity Purple division has also narrowed to eight teams, although clear favorites are yet to emerge. "Alpha Sigma Phi" does, however, appear ready to step up behind Brian Jones and Eric Whaley. Men's Blue semi-finalists include the "Tar Heels "Champions the "Bushwackers" and "Ta Dow For the ladies, the Sorority divi- sion has narrowed considerably with "Sigma Sigma Sigma" standing as the favorite. However, Amy Warren and the women of "Alpha Delta Pi" also have a solid unit and will be tough to beat In the Women's Independent, "Nothin' But Net" is the most talented team, but have not faced any significant tests up to this point as intramural basket- ball March Madness ends with All-Cam- pus finals on Sunday, March 19 in Christenbury Gym. The Intramural Water Polo play- offs concluded on Wednesday, March 1 as 37 teams battled for divisional and all-campus titles. In the Fraternity Gold division, the men of "Phi Kappa Tau A defended their title of last year by defeating "Sigma Phi Epsilon C" 14-5 for the All-Campus championship. Pat Cassidy and Rob Huguley lead the vet- eran attack for the men of Phi Tau. In Fraternity Purple, "Phi Kappa Alpha B" completed an unde- feated season by lopping "Phi Tau B" in the divisional finals behind solid all- around play from Steve Boykin and Tho- mas Swing. In Men's Independent Brian Man- ning, Sean Williams and Chris Adams generated the offensive spark to carry "Aqua Fresh" to the title match against the "Sigma Phi Epsilon C" but ware de- railed 13-6 by Adam Sweintek's Sig Ep squad. InCo-Recthe "Morays" toppedthe "Buffaloes who had escaped wh two previous one-goal victories behind the leadership of Christy Schmit The Sorority division once again offered several top teams as the defend- ing champion ladies of "Zeta Tau Alpha A" had a superb team again this season. Zeta worked their way throughout the Sorority playoffs and awaited to see "Si- lent Attack who met them in the All- Campus finals. The ladies of "Silent Attack" spoiled these plans behind outstanding scorers Paula Hill and Melissa Beetham in tak- ing a 134 victory- In the Women's All- Campus finals, Zeta TafAlpha prevailed for the second year in a row in earning a 103 win to successful defend their title jury. Along with this year's award winners, the CAA also announced their All-Decade Team, as well as its Player and Coach of the Decade. David Robinson from Navy was named Player of the Decade. The Manassas, Va. native played four years for the Naval Academy before winning a U.S. gold medal in Barcelona and playing in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. Former Richmond coach Dick Tarrant was named Coach of the Deoade. Also on the All-Decade team are JMU's Steve Hood, and UR's Curtis Blair. The frontcourt features UR's John Newman and current ODU Monarch Odell Hodge. The team was made up from fan balloting through- out the regular season.

Fisher pos- sesses lightning-quick speed and a le- thal backhand. Since joining the Pi- rate program, Fisher has also become more aggressive, a trait that has proven extremely beneficial. Another plus Fisher has found at ECU is the group of friends among his fellow tennis-team members. "It is not uncommon to see a bunch of tennis players together at a basketball game or a party he said. "Being a member of the tennis team gives you seven or eight friends in- stantly. It is better than a fraternity "No one on the team is alike, but we all fit together to make up a real team Fisher continued. "We deti- nitely motivate each other to play better tennis Fisher also feels playing tennis has made him a better student All ECU student-athletes are required to attend class daily, a rule that has taught Fisher discipline. He has also become more confident during his stay here, while developing a more positive outlook on life. The tennis team began the sea- son 0-4, after losing 19 of 20 singles matches at the Virginia Common- wealth Invitational. However, Fisher did not get down on himself. Instead, he, along with the rest of the team, covenanted to do better. "After the VCU trip, we realized that we couldn't just show up and win Fisher said. "Jason Freeman told everybody 'We have to go out and win every match. It starts to- day Since that little pep talk, the Pi- rates have practiced as if they were on a mission. The results are paying off, as they defeated in-state rival Campbell the week before Spring Break. Fisher won his match 6-0, 6- 1, and spent the rest of the day cheer- ing on his teammates. The team spent their Spring Break in Hilton Head, SC, and went undefeated during the tourney. Fisher helped his team by winning two matches, losing just eight games en route to the victory. Fisher and the other three se- niors are finding out what it takes to lead this team. The season is still young and the Pirates have more than a legitimate chance to make a run at the CAA crown. That run starts Sunday when ECU takes on a CAA foe in the Richmond Spiders. With Sam Fisher on the courts, the immediate future is looking great for Pirate tennis.
