basketball sensation Jerry
Stackhouse will not be back in a
Tarheel uniform next season. No big
surprise there, most NBA scouts are
drooling over the opportunity to
sign the Kinston native to a lucra-
tive professional contract.
They'll have to wait at least two
more seasons.
In an unscheduled late-night
meeting late last night, three ath-
letic department sources confirmed
Genetic
to The Least Carolinian that
Stackhouse. the Sports Illustrated
Player of the Year, has agreed to be-
come the next Director of Athletics
for East Carolina University, effec-
tive immediately following the
Tarheels' exodus from the 1995
NCAA tournament.
"I wanted to become Chancel-
lor, but Mr. Eakin didn't know of his
status soon enough for me to make
my decision on that position
Stackhouse said. "It's all good,
though. At least I can still play bas-
ketball
Basketball, you say?
It's true. Under NCAA regula-
tion XVII, section B1.67,
Stackhouse will be allowed to play
out his career simultaneously in the
friendly confines of Williams Arena,
alongside former high school team-
mate Chuck Jones, a present Pirate.
Stackhouse has already made
friends at East Carolina, simply by
purchasing a 19" Zenith color TV
(with Carolina alumni money) ? one
that would replace the one stolen
and pawned off by N.C. State's
Bryant Feggins in January.
"It was just a school rivalry
thing Feggins said off-the-record.
"You know, we have to play in
Reynolds Coliseum, which is a
dump compared to their place. I got
30 bucks from Coach Robinson for
that thing
Robinson declined to comment.
Pirate Club members and stu-
dents alike are ecstatic with this sud-
den turn of events, and are already
pushing for the school to rename
the arena the "Stack-House of
Payne
"With Pirate head basketball
coach Eddie Payne and Jerry
around, it will be a whole new ball
game Duke's "Coach K" said in a
telephone interview.
Does that mean he's a Pirate
fan?
"Yes I am he emphatically re-
plied.
This unscheduled announce-
ment comes just hours after State
was booted from the ACC in favor
of the Pirates. State reluctantly
agreed with the move, and placed
into the East o' Mississippi Saluki
conference, along with such power-
houses as the Nashville Auto Diesel
College, Des Moines Academy of
Pavlovian Psychology, and returning
league hoops champ Pansy State.
"Hey, buddy. Pansy's a lot

What Dr. Anderson is referring
to is a strange mutant lifeform dis-
covered Wednesday in the Tar River.
A university research team has de-
termined that the creature, which
they've playfully nick-named Lusty,
is amphibious. Lusty has gills, fins,
and nictitating membranes like a fish,
but is more human-like in other ways.
"Well, while we can't reveal too
much at this time said Dr. Ander-
son, "it does have the rounded skull
and upright build of a human being.
Also, Lusty has two retractable
stump-like appendages that enable it
to walk on land In addition. Dr.
Anderson revealed that Lusty the
Man-Fish, like many hybrids and mu-
tations, is sexless. "So the nick-name
is really kind of cruel said Lusty re-
search team member Dr. Alexander
Cyclops. "But it stuck, so what are
you ?onna do?"
It was during one of Lusty's
ground-level excursions that

Tar River is actually the home to a genetic misfit beast lovingly called Lusty by local officials.
I Lusty is said to be friendly, except when left alone with large quantities of liquor.
Greenville police found and captured
him. "We got an anonymous call that
some kind of monster was stalking
around the Town Commons said
Sgt. Nick O'Hara. "We figured it was
some kind of fraternity prank at first,
but then we got the call from the
Kneecap
Apparently, Lusty had made its
way into the downtown club and be-
gan wallowing in a large puddle of
beer. When asked how Lusty got in
the club in the first place, Kneecap
bouncer Crunch Hardtack replied,
"Well, he looked over 21 to me At
first, the Man-Fish went unnoticed
by the establishment's booze-addled,
under-age patrons, but then it started
acting strangely. "That fish was
tanked Hardtack said. "It came on
to some of the ladies, then picked a
fight with a bunch of frat boys Hard-
tack left his position at the door to
break up the fight but Lusty's sew-
age-born strength proved to be too
much for him.
"That's when we dispatched the
Monster Squad said officer Seymor
Scagnetti of the Greenville police.
The city's elite monster handling spe-
cialists, who apprehended Lusty, are
not called upon often. "We were
thinking about cutting their fund-
ing Scagnetti said, "but with the
river spawning mutant hell-beasts, I
think we'd better re-think our posi-
tion
"I wouldn't call Lusty a 'hell-

What is it that makes Kermit the
Frog such a lovable guy and a hero to
many? Well, this question was an-
swered and many secrets were revealed
in a one-on-one interview with Babette
Wawa.
"It's simple. I love entertaining the
masses, but I love it even more when
I'm stoned I connect more with the
audience said Kermit to a very
shocked Babette.
When asked about the rest of the
cast, Kermit just snickered and said "If
you really want to know and pro-
ceeded to tell us the ugly truth about
what goes on behind the scenes in the
lives of the Muppets.
"Miss Piggy has always had a little
weight problem explained Kermit.
"She started to take diet pills and
things started going down hill from
there. Now she's strung out
on crystal meth and has vio-
lent fits of rage constantly. It's
really hard being married to
her sometimes. Oh, but
there's more.
"Gonzo, in case you
haven't noticed, suffers from
low self-esteem, so he started
taking steroids in order to
build himself up a little. Poor
Gonzo we never thought
the side effects would be so
bad. First of all, he got
hooked on chickens. He
killed his girlfriend Camilla, and then
his nose started to grow and we
thought it would never stop. Somebody
in the cast told me that he was now-
having an affair with Miss Piggy.
Babette then asked, "How did the
cast get involved in this type of lifestyle?
Was it the pressure of show business?"
Pressure, no. Basically it was
something to do. You know those two
old guys who sit in the balcony and
make fun of everything, right? Well,
they're heavily involved with the Ma-
fia, and ap-
proached
us with an
offer. If we
gave them
a spot on
our show,
then they
would
supply us
with all of
the free
drugs we
could pos-
sibly want. To say the least it was an
offer we couldn't refuse, and that is
how it all started
Babette then cut in and asked "So,
are all the cast members involved in
this deviant lifestyle? How come we
haven't heard about any of this until
r?"
"I love
entertaining the
masses, but I love
it even more when
I'm stoned

now
Kermit replies "It's really not as bad
as you think it is, and most of us have
kept our little habits' under control -
in order to keep it quiet In fact we were
all worried that when we made our move
to Hollywood, people would realize that
we were only doing it to get more drugs.
The movie we made about the move was
just a smoke screen.
Is every body involved in this
lifestyle What do you think? Look at
Animal and his band. Do you really think
that they could do the things they do
unless they were completely strung-out?
And the cook, he lost it the day he took
four hits of acid and tried to bake a cake.
Now he sleeps with his meat cleaver un-
der his pillow. Talk about paranoid
"Well said Babette, "1 must say
that this interview has been informa-
tive and enlightening. Thank you so
much for taking the time to speak so
freely with us
"It's no problem Kermit replied.
"I just hope that people will see that
when I say It's not easy being green'
they'll believe it"
Lions and tigers and bears -
oh my! Even though administrators
don't want you to know, the word
for '96 is animals. Lots of them.
Did you hear about the Lats
workers found in Mendenhall last
week? That was a leak in the se-
cret operation insiders refer to as
Operation New Zoo
In an effort to boost declining
enrollment, administrators are try-
ing to reach younger chil- dren
every year. New plans
incorporate a
petting zoo
set to be
placed in
the middle
of the
Mall. The lo-
cation of the zoo is also convenient
for the campus beautif ication plans
set into ECU's master plan.
"We'll save a bundle on fertil-
izer, I just hope people don't mind
the smell said Ken Udigit. lawn
operations manager.
Kids will be bused in from el-
ementary schools all over the state
and given handfuls of ECU litera-
ture while they pet their favorite
animals.
"It's all a part of the new edu-
cation phenomena that's sweeping
the nation said Smart E. Pants,
chair of ECU's education depart-
ment. "Kids will remember ECU
over any other college -Siate has
the wolf, UNC has the ram, we'll
have them all
One prominent administrator
was overheard saying that the ani-
mals will fit in with ECU's party ani-
mal reputation, but several dis-
agree.
Animal rights activists are al-
ready planning retaliations against
a petting zoo being placed on the
Mall.
"The administrators are totally
trying to disregard the politically
correct campus we have worked so
long and hard to establish said
Ieat Twigs, president of Love Ani-
mals, Don't Eat Them (LADET).
Plans may even be underway
to charge students and faculty-
members admission to the zoo. Sea-
son tickets and reduced rates for
alumni may also be available.
"All proceeds would be used to
prohibit any future student fee in-
creases said SGA President Ian
Eastman. "It's the least we can do
for students
So what are some of the ani-
mals administrators are planning to
put in this zoo? Requests have been
made for Jackasses, monkeys and a
fat cat. Faculty members have in-
sisted that horses he included.
Various departments have put in
various requests, with the excep-
tion of housing - the department
is completely against animals of any
kind. Dining on the other hand, has
requested several pigs, goats and a
few dogs. The art department has
requested colorful animals such as
flamingos and tigers in order to
keep
t h e
area
tneti-
c a 11 y
pleas-
ing. The history department has re-
quested elephants.
Whether they charge admis-
sion or not, the park will need up-
keep, thus opening several student
employment opportunities. The co-
op office has already duplicated lit-
erature on how to clean up after
animals.
The biology department is also
planning to benefit from this ven-
ture by drawing up the legal paper-
work required for them to obtain
all old and decrepit animals. The
animals will be used for dissection
in classes.

(AP) - The butler delivered
a check for $10.5 million
Wednesday to fulfill a bequest by
Doris Duke to the university, in
Durham, founded in 1924 with
a $40 million gift from her fa-
ther.
Bernard Lafferty, 48, was
Miss Duke's butler and confidant
before she died Oct. 28, 1993, at
age 80. She named him coexecu-
tor of her $1.2 billion estate and
left him $5 million.
The former butler wore a
large diamond earring in his left
ear and his shoulder-length
blond hair was pulled back into
a pony tail. His hands appeared
to tremble as he presented the
check to Duke University Presi-
dent Nan Keohane, who jumped
from her seat to accept it and
spilled papers from her lap to the
floor.

(AP) -The notice to Reynold
Kennard was an attention-grab-
ber: Pay up $4,000, more than a
year of child support, or lose

The threat to the livelihood
of the Fort Fairfield, Maine,
truck driver forced him to accept
a payment plan within a week of
getting the letter.
Last week's bitter debate on
Capitol Hill over welfare reform
found one bit of common ground
for Republicans and Democrats:
a measure requiring states to re-
voke the driver, professional and
sporting licenses of parents who
owe child support.
(AP) - A Los Angeles boy
who was infected with the AIDS
virus at birth apparently fought
off the infection and is virus-free
at age 5, astonishing his doctors.
Dr. Yvonne J. Bryson, a pe-
diatrician and AIDS specialist at
the UCLA School of Medicine in
Los Angeles, said she believes it
is the first carefully documented
case of someone casting off all
signs of infection.
Tests proved conclusively
that the boy was infected for at
least a month during the first
two months of his life. Later ex-
aminations found no sign of the
virus, Bryson said.

Eastman to remain SGA president
Tambra Zion
Assistant News Editor
For the first time in ECU's his-
tory, a Student Government Associa-
tion President has been elected two
years in a row.
Ian Eastman won yesterday's elec-
tion with almost a 75 percent margin
over Janet Stubbs. Dale Emery was
elected to the vice presidency, beat-
ing out Chad Rasmussen. and Angie
Nix won the treasurer position by a
two point margin over Penn Crawford.
Caren VonHoene ran unopposed for
secretary. Last night's preliminary tal-
lies counted 1,386 votes.
"I'm very excited that students
recognize my ability to create new
policies Eastman said.
Senior class President Bill Gheen
helped Eastman with his campaign.
"We found the issues that were
of the highest importance to the stu-
dent body and brought students out
for the issues Gheen said.
Opposing candidate Janet Stubbs
said Election Chair David Reid and
Vice Chair Dean Brown did an excel-
lent job.
"1 plan on being in SGA next
year and working on the things on
my agenda Stubbs said, adding that
shf would do it all over again if she
could. "Definitely, I've learned a lot
about SGA
After two weeks of campaigning,
most candidates seemed on edge as
they flocked around the polls and
asked students for their vote.
Some questions arose Tuesday
about statements Eastman made in
Tuesday's profile story' in TEC. Dean
of Students Ron Speier questioned
Eastman on the validity of Eastman's
statement regarding the purchase of
three new buses and an added bus
route to the medical school without
the use of increased student fees.
Speier said student fees were in-
creased to make the purchases, negat-
ing Eastman's statements to TEC.
"It's an honest mistake Eastman
said. He said his campaign flyers
stated that increased student fees were
used to purchase the new buses and
add the bus route. "There's so many
things we've done with the transit
board
ECU'S transit system has no as-
sociation with SGA.
"Absolutely not, we were set apart
as our own entity by the board of
trustees said Ryland Walters, direc-
tor of the transit system. He said the
change occurred in the early to mid-
'80s, but as SGA president, Eastman
sits as chair on the transit board. The
board oversees major expenditures.
Speier also questioned Eastman's
sattements regarding the addition of
hundreds of bike spaces across cam-
pus, and an additional 110 parking
spaces around the recreation center
upon its completion.
Speier said SGA was not solely
responsible for these changes.
"Eastman and I) have spoken
about bike racks in the past and there
certainly is a need said Richard
Brown, vice chancellor for business
affairs. Brown said bike racks have
been added across campus. The issue
is also being discussed in the bicycle

Maureen Rich

While speaking to an advanced
reporting class on Friday, Chancel-
lor Richard R. Eakin announced his
intentions to retire at East Carolina
if the University of Louisville presi-
dential position does not work out.
Eakin, who is one of three can-
didates for the opening position of
president at Louisville, said he and
his wife came to "a liberating deci-
sion
"First of all, I am very happy at
East Carolina University, and this
visit to Louisville was in no ways an
expression of unhappiness with my
present job Eakin said. "I could be
very happy retiring at East Carolina.
My liberating decision is this: I got
back from visiting Louisville) on
Wednesday afternoon and spent the
rest of the day with my wife.
"We talked about our experience
at Louisville, we talked about what
the future might or might not hold,
and we decided this, that if they de-
cide they want me at Louisville, and
I decide I want to be at Louisville,
that's one decision.
"On the other hand, if that
doesn't work out, then I've decided
that I would like to spend the rest of
my career, as long as East Carolina
would have me, as the chancellor of
East Carolina
The beginning of March marked
Eakin's eight-year anniversary as
chancellor of ECU. Of the 16 chan-
cellors in the University of North
Carolina system, Eakin holds the
fourth longest tenure. He will hold
the third longest tenure in June,
when Cleon Thompson of Winston-
Salem plans to retire.
Only Edward Fort, from North
Carolina A & T, and Jimmy Jenkins,
from Elizabeth City, have held their
positions longer.
Eakin said he plans to call the
search firm and tell them that he no
longer wishes to participate in uni-
versity searches for new leaders. He
said once he and his wife made their
decision, his life "took a turn
"I felt a lot of stress Eakin said
with a laugh.
He estimates the average length
a chancellor or president stays at one
university is five years. He said that,
despite Athletic Director Dave Hart's
departure and last year's departure
of Vice Chancellor for Academic Af-
fairs Marlene Springer, he does not
feel ECU has become a stepping
stone.
"If you're going to want to ad-
vance, you're going to have to move
he said. "I would rather hire some-
one who has extraordinary promise
and might be with us for five years -
maybe three years - and during that
time give us just the most excep-
tional performance you could expect,
even knowing in my mind that they
might be a thriving star it's a much
healthier circumstance than a situa-
tion in which you have people who
have no other prospects
gakin said he has experienced
some negative reactions to his inter-
viewing at Louisville, but they were
in the minority.
"Typical of the East Carolina
University community the over-
whelming number of people have
said, 'We don't want you to go, we'd
like you to stay here, but we want
you to do what's best for yourself
Eakin said.
Louisville's decision is expected
to be announced Tuesday, April 4.
Eakin will be in Seattle, Wa for the
NCAA championship during that
time.

No. it is not Christmas time, but
a lot people feel that way as spring
in Greenville brings volunteers out
of the woodwork.
Since the beginning of Spring
semester, our headlines have been
loaded with stories of fraternities,
sororities and other organizations
who have donated time and effort
to help others. The months of March
and April are proving to be the busi-
est by far.
In Sneeds Ferry, Alexandria
Parsons, 2-month old daughter of 10 so people would know they can
Paul and Darleene Parsons, has
been labeled as having "Moebius
Syndrome a nervous system disor-
der that results in paralysis of the
sixth and seventh cranial nerves, the
result of this paralysis is deformity
and a lack of facial expression. Be-
ca'ise there are only 300 people in
the U.S. diagnosed with this disease,
medical treatments are few and
costly.
Fortunately, the brothers of
Sigma Phi Epsilon, along with the
sisters of Tri Sigma and in coopera-

event to raise money for Alexandria.

nity chapters heard about us and
expressed interest in volunteering.
"We are also sponsoring an-
other event tentatively set for one
weekend in April. What we're try-
ing to do is get some people to vol-
unteer at Carolina East Mall or the
Plaza and play unplugged music
from the Vietnam Era. you know,
Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, anything
from the late 60's early 70's
Lewis says that the event in
April is to raise money for disabled
Vietnam veterans. "Hopefully people
will be moved to put donations in
the guitar cases at the mail) Lewis
said.
These charity events have not
gone unnoticed. According to Lewis.
Sigma Phi Epsilon won the Best Phi
Ianthropy Award, "and we're real
close to winning the National Award
in August
Also getting in on the volunteer
action is the Chi Zeta Chapter of Phi
Alpha, the National Social Work
Honor Society. "We're donating pa-
per supplies and toiletries to
Greenville Community Shelter, be-
cause they don't often receive do-
nations of his type said Jane
Dawson, chapter president. Dawson
added that Chi Zeta is being spon-
sored by The Pantry, Inc (local store

Joyner gets stately equipment
Aaron Tuell

Joyner Library recently received
national exposure for incorporating
state-of-the-art equipment developed
for the banking industry.
Dr. Kenneth Marks, director of
academic library services, was in-
trigued upon demonstration of the
MicroDAX 3000 and recognized its po-
tential, according to the advertising
brochure from UM1.
In an interview with TEC, Marks
states, "We're one of the first aca-
demic libraries to install the equip-
ment and use it. It was a nev option
that just hadn't been there before
The MicroDAX at Joyner Library
is the integration of a microfilm fiche
reader printer and PC with fax capa-
bilities. As the markets' most advanced
model, the MicroDAX costs in the
neighborhood of $20,000, according
to Marks.
"This is the only one says Janice
Rice, librarian in charge of the micro-
forms department, "We're hoping that
one day that we can have this out
where the public can use it Right now.
we manage it, if a student has a prob-
lem or a special requestwe can do
it together
"We invite and expect anyone
who thinks they may benefit from
using it to stop and talk with (Rice)
and to make arrangements to come
and get aquainted with the machine
Marks says.
Marks cites one of the problems
of older reader machines is the ques-
tionable quality of printed images. The
MicroDAX can manipulate and digi-
tally enhance film images to the us
ers discretion. According to the UMI
brochure, the MicroDAX actually "res-
cues" images of documents that were

The East Carolinian
Student TV discusses current issues
Andy Turner
Staff Writer
ECU'S weekly student video
magazine production. "Cue One" is
currently in its second season of pro-
duction. The show airs at 6 p.m. on
Thursdays and 2 a.m. on Fridays on
cable access Channel 7.
"Cue One" is produced by stu-
dents in the advanced video produc-
tion anJ the video performance
classes in the department of library
studies and educational technology.
A copywriting class will also be in-
volved in producing one show.
This semester "Cue One" has pro-
duced shows on topics ranging from
campus safety to construction on cam-
pus. A show focusing on non-revenue
sports also featured editorials on the
possibility of student-athletes being
paid for playing collegiate sports.
Other shows focused on relationships,
the parking problem and resident ad-
visors.
The show produced last week fo-
cused on the opportunities for culture
in Greenville. The culture show fea-
tured specials on the Greenville mu-
sic scene, the ECU Art Gallery and
the Greenville Town Commons.
Robert Caprio. lecturer of elec-
tronic mass media studies and faculty
coordinator for "Cue One hopes to
improve the show by providing more
"visual appeal" to viewers through
additional field camera work and bet-
ter technical equipment.
"We are trying to expand we
want to provide more visual appeal
instead of it just being talking heads
Caprio said.
This semester, approximately 31
students are involved in the weekly
production of "Cue One with an ad-
ditional 15 students involved in the
copywriting class. The show is filmed
each Thursday in the first floor studio
of Joyner Library in the Center for
Academic Communication. Carlton
Benz. an associate professor of com-
munication, serves along with Caprio
as a faculty coordinator.
Caprio said although problems
have occurred due to scheduling con-
flicts and occasional student frustra-
tion or disinterest in topics the pro-
duction of the video magazine has
gone well.
"I've been very lucky. I've had two
very' strong classes so far Caprio said.
Caprio feels producing the show
has benefited students in many ways
in regards to their careers.
"Production is a collaborative ef-
fort they are responsible for the look
of the program and the content of the
program Caprio said. "They learn how
to work togetherWe are giving them
the independence they need to take
that final step they need into the work
world
Caprio feels there are many ways
to improve the quality of the show by
broadening the overall focus.
"What is missing is more shows
with substance. Students have to find
an anglc.we hope to expand the pro-
gram into the community and get stu-
dents more involved with the commu-
nity Caprio said. "We would like to
create a strong brotherhood or sister-
hood with the community
In the future, Caprio would like
to see "Cue One" feature shows on
urban planning in Greenville and city
council meetings and there effect on
ECU students. He feels while all shews
may not be gems, it is an ongoing learn-
ing process.
Security added to Minges
Tambra Zion
Assistant News Editor
awaaaaaaai waaaaaaaaaaM fat
The theft and attempted theft of
television monitors from Williams
Arena in recent weeks has prompted
the installation of a security system in
Minges Coliseum.
"When they steal them and take
them home, they don't get a picture
said Teresa Crocker, director of ECU
police. "I just find it hard to believe
that someone would bust a door to
steal a monitor they can't even use to
watch television
The last attempted theft of a moni-
tor occurred on March 9, when an of-
ficer found a door smashed on the
northeast side of the building and dis-
covered that a monitor was missing.
ECU police reports state the monitor
was recovered when the suspect was
later spotted and dropped the moni-
tor before getting away.
"I thought that was excellent
work said Henry VanSant. associate
director of athletics. "Public safety was
certainly doing their job
The monitor sustained slight dam-
age, but is in working order.
"It's sitting here in my office said
Tom Doyle, athletic video director. "It's
scratched and a little banged up but it
works fine
Doyle said the monitor has not
been put back into place because no
sporting events are scheduled in the
near future for the arena.
Doyle also commended ECU police
for their fast action in recovering the
monitor.
"We increased our patrol in the
area Crocker said. "It's a random pa-

"When I go in front of the board
of trustees and argue for 20 minutes
for spaces around the rec. center and

pened, 1 consider that an accomplish-
ment of mine Eastman said.
Speier had raised the questions
concerning Eastman's statements and
was hoping to clear the situation by
midday Wednesday.
"My hope is that there'll be no
judicial action Speier said. "We're
very concerned about political speech
and whether or not anyone is harmed
Eastman and Stubbs met with As-
sociate Dean of Students Karen Boyd
around 5 p.m. Wednesday for a discus-
sion. Speier said he hoped a conflict
resolution or some form of mediation
would occur.
After the meeting, both candidates
conferred with each other before speak-
ing to TEC and gave statements that
the charges were not preferred and said
the matter was a non-issue.
"It's not in the best interests in the
SGA and often facts can be perceived
as misleading Eastman said.
Both candidates said they would
work together in SGA next year, and
believe their campaigns went well.
"We've always had a really good
working relationship, but in an election,
you have an opponent if you're friends
or not" Stubbs said. "1 think it's gone a
lot smoother. I think it's been a lot less
negative than in years past
Eastman said he believes the posi-
tive issues have diminished any nega-
tive tones the campaign harbored.
"I feel the direct negativity was a
little more severe than in past years
but I feel 'he positive issues definitely
outweighed any negativity Eastman
said. "I hope people realize that's the
way to go
Stubbs missed the debate sched-
uled to air on WZMB Monday night
because she said she thought the de-
bate was at 9 p.m. (as TEC printed). The
debate was scheduled for 8 p.m. Stubbs
said she did not have time to prepare
for it but thought Tuesday's debate in
Jones Hall went very well.
In a Wednesday afternoon inter-
view, Stubbs said she felt the campaign
was going well, but felt Tuesday's cov-
erage in TEC hurt her.
"I definitely don't think the article
was pro-Janet" Stubbs said. "I wanted
to come in here and talk about myself
She said the presidential profiles did
not sound like profiles, and that Eastman,

Eastman and Stubbs are planning
to work together next year to ensure

both expressed different issues that ef-

"In terms of putting together a
research paper and those sorts of
things, there are some very slick fea-
tures allowing faculty and students
to do a much, much better job
Marks says. Integration of filmfiche
images with printed documents is
one of the most desirable features.
According to Rice, dealing with
interlibrary services, the faxing abil-
ity has proven to be one of the most
valuable functions. The MicroDAX
can fax multiple documents to other
universities, sending requests for
documents that are missing or are
not subscribed to in their own librar-
ies.
One thing the MicroDAX cannot
do is read an image directly from any-
thing not on filmfiche. In contrast,
there are things only available on mi-
croform.

veloped for the banking industry and

Our View
We see it everyday, accidents,
war, crime - violence. America's me-
dia keep the population informed
about the world today, be it good or
bad. In recent years there has been
an outcry that the media bring us too
much violence, that the media pro-
mote violence and even glamorize it.
TEC agrees, but face it. There's a
real world out there and our society
teaches us we should know about it.
Arguments can be provoked as
to whether our media promote or
deter violence - but that's psychol-
ogy. Our children's programming win-
ner right now is The Migh Morphin
Power Rangers, does this promote
violence? Do you know what happens
when you spraypaint a car in
Singapore?
It's our job to bring you the
truth. How graphic should descrip-
tions of violence be? Drawing a line
to where a story ends is not some-
thing you always want to be respon-
sible for. Editors under heat have ac-
tually tried to give audiences days
with all good news. Maybe stories
could be labeled before graphics are
shown, but you might get disap-
pointed in the show.
Decision makers have made ef-
forts to slow down on how much we
see, but it doesn't work. Barney won't
always make ratings, the news will.
The media merely give Americans
what they want. When you stop ask-
ing for it, we'll stop giving it.
When everyone in every corner
of the world knows the latest news, it
then becomes glamorized. At times,
we shine our information age light so
bright that everyone gets a little
blinded and scream they've had
enough. We see the same things so
many times that they can become un-
realistic. We get sick of it too: Is OJ.
getting paid for his mini-series?
The Power Rangers don't use
weapons, but real criminals do. Sorry
to tell you, but random violence is
exactly that random. Violence won't
go away if you put your head under a
pillow: we just want you to know its
out there and it could be close to you.
We. the media, are the watchdogs of
America and let the public determine
whether justice is served in our coun-
try.
Congress was working very hard
to prevent lobbyists from giving in-
fluential gifts and other perks before
the news let you know what was go-
ing on. weren't they? If you feel the
Los Angeles officers should have gone
to jail for the videotape we all saw,
that's your opinion. We just watch and
try to bring America the truth the
best we can.
The bottom line is, you don't
have to see it if you don't want to. It
is possible to turn it off and ignore it.
Clinton should be re-elected
It's the sixth round and a bat-
tered Clinton comes out of the cor-
ner, awaiting the bell. He has taken a
beating, but he's still fighting. Yes,
ladies and gentlemen, the end of the
fight is drawing nigh. We're halfway
there; some people think our Presi-
dent has taken this lying down, but
that just ain't true! I'm gonna explain
to you why Clinton should get re-
elected in 1996.
First of all, I'm sick of Republi-
cans saying "The American people
voted for the contract" No we didn't!
Just about every voter who voted had
no idea what the contract was how
many of you had your copy handy?
Let's be honest about the contract,
and its consequences. Economist Rob-
ert Reich determines it will cost Ameri-
can taxpayers $725 billion. Also, 50
percent of this contract applies to
those making $100,000 or more!
Sounds like "Reaganomics Lite" to
me!
I will now list Clinton's main
themes and his action on those
themes: The need for change. Voters
voted for change in 1992 just as they
did in 1994. I think it's obvious
Clinton has rectified several of the
undesirable side effects of the
ReaganBush administrations. The
deficit has gone down for three
straight years; the first time since the

happened. Employment has gone up.
The wealthy have also had to step up
and pay their fair share. It's good the
Republicans won their slim majorites
in Congress; now the Democrats can
be back-seat drivers for a change.
Clinton promised to enlarge the
job market, and halfway through his
term, he has done exactly that. Five-
point-six million new jobs sounds like
an enlargement to me. Democrats get
attacked as the party of big govern-
ment when it is Clinton who has
streamlined government. He has cut
100,000 jobs out of the federal bu-
reaucracy. Clinton's commitments to
put more police on the streets are
answered by his successful Crime Bill.
Finally, he vowed to do some-
thing about health care. No, things
didn't work out. Some say it was a
disaster. The fact is, something has
to be done. Congress had the ball.
and they punted it. Health care is in-
deed an epidemic. If you don't think
so, look at the rising insurance pre-
miums, the corrupt practices, and the
people dying. Attacking health care
may have not been the politically fash-
ionable thing to do, but I admire him
sticking to his campaign promise. It's
Bush and Reagan who waffle on that
issue get away scot free while Clinton
is bashed for trying to fix a cata-
strophic problem.
Oh, one more thing. The GOP
had passed lots of legislation, but
there's one thing they didn't pass. The
Democrats introduced a bill to pro-
hibit gifts from Lobbyists. The sup-
posed "party of reform" declined this
measure.
Clinton has promised a smaller,
but more effective government. The
GOP wants to slash government ig-

Republicans are big talkers. They

One of the few academic classes
I've taken in the course of my four-
year stint here at ECU that I've genu-
inely enjoyed has been sociology. I like
it because it gets the mental cogs
working without motivating you to
the sort of arr.1 chair diagnosis that so
irritates your friends and dampens any
conversation you manage to postulate
yourself into.
Last week, the question came up
in class of how to toially eliminate
crime from the country. The class con-
sensus was one of, 'Ha-dream on,
man but that's okay. You don't get
answers without questions, and
there's always more than one answer.
Apparently, it's a poser that has
been the bugbear of more minds than
my sociology professor alone. Turn on
the news or read the morning paper.
The steps are getting weird and radi-
cal.
During the span of my Christmas
break, I was over at my girlfriend's
house (which, incidentally, is in a
neighborhood about as safe as a cer-
tain historical zeppelin), watching a
Current Affair spot about a Michigan
town that had imported a Clint
Eastwood-style sheriff to restore some
law and order to the apocalyptic bad-
lands of the American suburbs. His
solution was to divide the area into
sections, then wall the sections apart
with bricks and wrought-iron gates,
then padlock the whole affair shut
after dark.
Many called foul. Many more said
that it was about time someone took
some affirmative action. For all the
boos and cheers, though, the end re-
sult was undeniable-the crime rate

Apparently, as industrious as the
legions of thugs and thieves might
have been at strong-arming old ladies
and heisting car stereos, they couldn't
figure out how to scale a stupid fence.
Back when Clinton was just start-
ing to get the ball rolling with his cam-
paign, he sent to the presses Putting
People First, his manifesto for chang-
ing American and putting the power
back into the hands of the people.
A noble sentiment, but the thing
reads like a political primer for con-
fused refugees from the MTV Forum
With Bill Clinton audience.
He speaks of "cracking down" a
lot. Cracking down on crime, crack-
ing down on drugs, cracking down on
the cracked, but he doesn't actually
say how he's going to go about crack-
ing down on anything, and as
theClinton administration itself began
to show some notable fissures, his
whole plan now smacks of the kind
Truman administration that this has just too bad that other presidents like again in two years.

Lawsuits are not solutions
Hey, you get rich quick wannabes.
Ever dream of winning the lottery and
being set for life? Well in case you're
into playing the numbersno pun
intented.there are a few facts you
ought to know. The odds of winning
the Virginia lotteryfor exampleare
about one in over seven million. So
perhaps you would be interested in
option number two: sue.
Next time you're at your neigh-
bors for a cookout, look for a broken
board a on his deck. Trip over it and
you too can be set for life.
Anyone sense a lack of justice

On Feb. 27, 1992 a woman pulled
into a McDonald's and purchased a
McBreakfast In trying to get the top
off her hot coffee she spilled the hot
contents in her lap and recieved sec-
ond and third degree bums.
The case was brought to court
and after four hours of deliberation
the jury awarded the plaintiff2.9
million. This fee was reduced by the
judge yet the plaintiff was still
awarded $640,000.
She has become the poster child
for Congress's well overdue tort re-
form (a tort is a personal injury caused
by negligence.) Congress is bent on

curbing the number of frivolous law-
suits and excessive of the damage
awards.
The three biggest of these re-
forms affect punitive damage, loser
pays theory, and medical malpractice.
Under punitive damage, juries
could award no more than three times
the cost of medica' bills and missed
work.
The loser pays theory' requires
that in certain cases the loser be re-
quired to pick up the tab for the win-
ners leagal expenses.
Most importantly is medical mal-
practice suit legislation. Juries could
not award more than$250.000 for non-
economic injuries like emotioal stress.
With the lawsuit caps we all stand
to benefit. With lower malpractice'
awards, insurance rates for medical
malpractice will drop. With lower
rates doctors will charge less. In
charging less health care becomes
more affordable for all.
Excluding mass filings such as
Asbestos and the Dalcon Shields, tort
cases make up ten ercent of the
American Leagal System case load:
Between 1985 and 1992 suits went
up in 14 states and down in only 6.
Last year the National Law Jour-
nal found that only five percent of
Americans wanted their children te
be lawyers. Applications to law
schools are down ten percent To-
day there is approximately 1 lawyer
per 290 citizens.
With this many people in frivo-
lous plaintifs' corners, this legislation
could have not come at a better time.

Everyday when we turn on our
television sets or radios we hear
about crime and violence in America.
Crime and violence is a very se-
rious problem. Young teens or ado-
lescents are the perpetrators of many
of these crimes or violent acts. Male
adolescents account for a dispropor-
tionately high percentage of the se-
rious and violent criminal behavior
that occurs in our society.
Many times these kids are mis-
guided youth with no one to turn to
and no where to go. They are young
people whose homes, schools or
neighborhoods have failed to meet
their needs. They have no under-
standing of what it means to be a
good citizen because their environ-
ment has not encourage them to be
a good citizen. They do not see the
good life they could have. They are
only concern with here and now, not
with what they could make of their
lives for future purposes. A large

No one is bom to be a juvenile
delinquent. Delinquency is something
that is learned. A child leams the ways
of delinquency much as he learns
other kinds of behaviors. When her
wants something, his need drives him
to action. What kind of action he
learns to take over a period of years
determines the kind of person he wf
become.
They do things that interfere wir$t
the lives of others or destroy pror
erty that belongs to others. The sa3
part is that, although these delin-
quents do not realize it. they are hurt-
ing themselves as much as, and often
more than they are hurting others. -
I think, in many cases that as
children they have been hurt very
much and. as a sort of revenge, they
want to hurt others. In other cases, 1
think they are following bad leaders
or just being mischievous and not re-
alizing the damage they are doing.
We young adults need to remem-
ber that younger kids look up to us.
We need to set good examples. A good
environment helps people to become
good citizens. Everyone has an impor-
tant part in building America. Every-
one must do their share. The less
crime, violence and juvenile delin-
quency there is, the better life will be
for all of us. We will have a better
nation and a better world. !
Too many clowns on campus
Alright. I've had it.
You hear it coming from four
blocks away. The ground starts to
thump two blocks awaythen it rolls
byit's cat daddy car driver, alive and
kickin' on campus.
I just have one thing to say. DO
YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU
LOOK?
Let's break this down and ana-
lyze this obscure behavior.
First, I would like to state that I
am all for self expression. That is part
of the college experience. But do you
have to inflict your choice on all of
us? And inflict is the word here - we
all hear you LOUD and CLEAR.
Secondly, what is your motive?
Is it to impress someone? A group of
someones perhaps? Is it to boost self
esteem? If it is. try to make an A on a
test sometime. It's a great way to el-
evate one's self image.
Perhaps the sheer sound of loud
music pleases you. If that is the case,
buy some head phones. I like loud
music, really loud music. But in the
center of campus at high noon This
is not the time or place to stimulate
that need.
Perhaps your motive is to annoy
us. What's the point? If that is the
case ? you were successful. I would
not have written this article other-

wise. OK you win ? can you please
stop now?
Next I would like to attempt to
paint a mental picture of what you
look like to us. Close your eyes and
picture a great big circus clown jump-
ing up and down in a giant plastic
kiddy pool screaming "Look at me.
everybody! Can you see how cool I
am? Look! Watch me! Weeeeee
Yep. sounds pretty stupid, huh? Well,
you look worse.
And what about the medical rami-
fications? I am sure any physician
would agree that long term exposure
to a gazillion decibels will eventually
cause long term hearing damage.
Finally. I would like to discuss the
short term rewards that you may re-j
ceive from carrying out this specific
behavior. Let's face it, you know that-
you look silly. You cannot honestly
believe that we are impressed. So fc
ask you. do you really feel satisfied
after you complete your performance?
Do you pull over, turn down the vol-
ume, take a deep breath and say, "God.
That was really great. I feel enriched
now. My actions caused good feelings
and I feel that I am a better person as
a result of it
NO. 1 think you should answer
NO.
In closing. 1 want you to know that
I am not deliberately trying to step on
vein egos cam. 1 want to reit-
erate that 1 support self expression.
However, when your actions be-
gin to affect the lives of others, many
others. I think you should consider a
compromise. Besides. IT'S EMBAR-
RASSING.
So next time you have the urge to
pump up the volume, picture that cir-
cus clown screaming and flailing about
and say to yourself. "I am a good and
secure individual who has dignity and
self-worth. 1 am going to park my car,
grab my books and go to class to make

Candyman gets the hook
Steve Griffin
Staff Writer
Michael Waggett has shown that
hard work and dedication to what you
love doing can pay off in the long run.
Waggett. an ECU student, sings con-
temporary R&B and has recently
signed a contract with a record com-
pany called Power Move Productions
(PMP). a partner of Def Jam Records.
The successful rap performer Coolio
is also signed under PMP
Waggett started singing as a child
with his father, who was a choir direc-
tor in their church. "I learned a lot
about harmonizing and was first in-
spired by one of the singers in my high
school singing group Waggett said.
Some other influences for Waggett are
Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and
Bobby Brown. After high school,
Waggett began to try to make possible
contacts for solo singing jobs. He con-
tinued to try to find a deal until one
night over Christmas vacation he got
his big break.
Waggett and some friends went
to Chapel Hill to see rap performers
R.Kelly and Coolio in concert Waggett
wanted R.Kelly to notice him, so after
the show, he sang loudly as R.Kelly was
getting in his limo. R.Kelly's bodyguard
grabbed Waggett and took him into the
tour bus. R.Kelly talked to him for over
thirty minutes and told him he had a
great voice and potential The rap-
per also said he wanted to work with
Waggett but not nothing ever came
from this meeting.
Waggett continued to pursue his
goal to sing and went to another Coolio
show. Michael approached Coolio and
sang some R&B for him, which Coolio

seemed to like. Coolio's manager, Paul
Stewart gave Waggett his card and told
him he wanted to hear some of his
music.
This meeting led Waggett to his
big break when he was asked to come
out to Hollywood for two weeks to stay
with Paul Stewart. Stewart is vice
president of PMP and has managed
such famous performers as Ice Cube,
Warren G House of Pain and now
Coolio. PMP and Paul Stewart ar-
ranged a production agreement with
Waggett for singing under PMP's la-
bel.
Waggett and PMP also made a
three-song demo tape. "I worked hard
singing every day for at least eight
hours in the studio Waggett said of
the recording session. He also earned
the nickname OPE while in LA from
Coolio and others at PMP. He said of
his experience in L.A. that he now
knows more about the business and is
more mature in his singing ability.
When asked how he manages his
time with school and singing, Waggett
said, "1 try to keep it off my mind and
concentrate on school, but it's hard
with all that's going on. I do want a
degree for self-satisfaction because I
am-not a quitter PMP handles a lot
of the production work, so Waggett is
now in a waiting process that gives him
time to do work at ECU.
Waggett's future plans include go-
ing to L.A. again this summer to meet
with Paul Stewart and doing some
work on an album. "I am real excited
about this trip, and I hope it is iyorth
something he said. Look for Michael
Waggett's name in the R&B section of
your local music store soun. With his
determination, he's sure to succeed.

Clive Barker's short story, "The
Forbidden resonated with a hor-
ror that sprang from common be-
lief in evil. If enough people believe
in a mythical horror figure, Barker
suggested, then that figure could
bridge the gap between myth and re-
ality. The mythical figure of Barker's
story, The Candyman, was a murderer
with a razor-sharp hook for a hand.
People whispered about The
Candyman and, because of their
shared belief, The Candyman lived.
Whenever the myth began to lose its
power, The Candyman would put in
an appearance to reinforce the myth.
Near the end of "The Forbid-
den Barker allows The Candyman
to describe his power to a potential
victim. "It's a blessed condition The
Candyman says (and the reader can
almost hear the evil yet suave tone
of his voice), "believe me. To live in

The Star Trek television legacy is

With the departure of Star Trek
the Next Generation for the movie screen
last fall, many fans were worried. The
third Trek series, Deep Space Nine, was
generally disliked (except it seems by me
and a handful of other discerning view-
ers), and the fourth, Voyager, was an
unknown entity. Like the nervous nellies
they are, Trekkies across the country
were crying doom. They needn't have
worried.
In the case of Deep Space Nine, I
tend to think it was an image problem.
For the greater part of its first season,
DS9 was in fact pretty crappy. People
tired of it and stopped watching, plan-
ning to return to it later in the hope that
it would get better. Surprise! It did get
better, and it got better quick - much
quicker, in fact than the show's detrac-
tors expected.
By the final episode of the first sea-
son, DS9 was firing on all cylinders. Sud-
denly, the show found its focus. Unlike
the other Trek shows, DS9 was not about
exploring and conquering. Commander
Sisko can't fly to an alien planet have
sex with some green-skinned alien
woman
and fly off
without
having to
deal with
the conse-
quences of
his actions
like Cap-
tain Kirk.
No, Sisko
is stuck on
that alien
planet and
his actions
have defi-
nite and long-reaching consequences.
Deep Space Nine is, in fact all about
consequences.
At its best DS9 is a show about
making tough decisions and sticking with
them. The crew of this space station is
regularly forced to choose between jus-
tice and the law, or between emotion and
duty. The decisions are never easy, and
the characters often surprise me with
the choices they make.
In one episode, Chief Engneer Miles
O'Brien is forced to confront his hatred
for the Cardassians,
an alien race he
fought against in a
long-ago war. Is he
a racist? In another
story, DS9's second-
in-command Major
Kira is haunted by
a morally-question-
able assassination
she committed dur-
ing her own planet's
war with the
Cardassians. Does
her "just-following-
orders" rationale
make her just as bad as the Nazi-like vil-
lains she fought?
Unfortunately, nobody seemed to
watch the second season oiDeep Space
Nine. It was over-shadowed by the sur-
prisingly poor final season of Next Gen-

Staff Writer
Since their original formation in
1991, Mother Nature has slowly built a
well-deserved reputation as a hard-work-
ing rock and roll band. "Hard-working"
because Mother Nature is different from
many other bands who frequent the
Greenville area because of the number
of songs they play in each of their sets.
"When we're on stage, we sweat
We try to avoid taking long breaks be-
tween sets for the simple fact that we
appreciate people coming out to see us
play, and we strive to give them the best
show we can give bass guitarist War-
view.
everyone wants to hear, and the only
way we can accomplish this is to play
35 songs or more per show
Mother Nature will be headlining
at The Attic this Saturday night in cel-
ebration of the upcoming release of
their self-titled debut CD. This release
will be one consisting of all original ma-
terial; hence the band is slowly making
the transition from playing 70s and '80s
roots rock covers to original material.
"This transition is a difficult one
to make because a great deal of our au-
dience is a regular crowd who have come
out to see us play quite frequently. For
the most part, those fans have come to
hear cover tunes they enjoy, and we're
trying to steer away from playing all cov-
ers said Warren Sumner. Despite this
desire to change, their show Saturday
night will still be about 60 percent cov-
The quintet was originally formed
here in Greenville by ECU students who
got together to play some original ma-
terial and to do covers of bands such as
The Allman Brothers. The Eagles, Led
Zeppelin and The Beatles. Though these
bands are Mother Nature's primary in-
fluences, they are a pretty diverse group,
with other influences ranging from jazz
to Motown.
For those who have not seen
Mother Nature perform recently, there
has been an addition to the band. Gui-
tarist and vocalist Keith Burkhart joined
Mother Nature eight months ago. The
rest of the band feels that he has im-
proved the group's vocal quality and
flexibility.
Greenville audiences will have a
chance to see if their faith in Burkhart
is well-founded Saturday at The Attic.
The show should start around 10 p.m.

Spent
Songs of Drinking
and Rebeliion
Meredith Langley
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Merge Records did a great ser-
vice to the music world when they
signed the Land Spent. Their new
release, Songs of Drinking and Re-
bellion, has 13 wonderfully-written
songs that make you want to do ev-
erything from dancing to losing
yourself in the depths of depres-
sion.
"Brewster Station the first
song on the album, is a somewhat
slow ballad that is rich in melody
and harmony. The song is very
simple; it has little distortion and
a nice piano part. The addition of
the piano gives this song some
depth and a little more feeling. But,
after listening to it a few times. I
got the feeling that I was listening
to a drugged-out Sonny and Cher.
Simplicity seems to be the
moito of this band, and it works
well for them. The song "Excuse Me
While I Drink Myself To Death is
much more upbeat than some of
the others on the album, but the
instrumental parts are simple and
easy to follow. They do make good
use of distortion, but it didn't
sound like they were using it to
cover up their mistakes or lack of
ability. The lyrics in this song aren't
bad either: "Just make a sour face
after our embrace as the whole
world stares There is also a good
little instrumental part in this song
that has a harder edge to it and
breaks into a nice vocalized har-
mony part by the two male singers
in the band.
One of my favorite songs from
Songs For Drinking and Rebellion
is "Minty Ballad This is a very up-
beat little number that makes the
toes tap and the heads sway. The
lyrics are hard to decipher, but the
vocal melody and the instrumental
parts fit perfectly together to make
one of the best alternative rock
songs I've heard in a while.
A few of the songs remind me
a little of the band Sebadoh. The
song "Sense of Decay" is one of
those. With the guitars going full
blast with distortion, the song
breaks into something completely
different. This song has all the as-
pects of being a great song: great
vocal melodies and harmonies, well-
constructed bass and guitar leads
and a solid drum beat. The lyrics
are well written and sound as
though some thought had been put
into them; "On a time latched shore
A well worn dress Hangs low
tide on one future housewife
With short lived regrets
When I got to the track
"Bottled Mouth I was shocked
when a female began to sing. This
is the only song that the guitar and

Trek series. The new east is putting in
marvelous performances, and the writ-

confines of the Star Tick universe.
Unfortunately, they haven't been
separated from cliched Trek plots. The
first episode presented is with a typi-
cally unimaginative "cosmic alien being
who pu's i lurhen es in a reality conjured
by their wn minds. Why the crew would
have a mass hallucination of Walton's
Mountain, however, is beyond me.
()ther episi ides have dealt with such
i iverused plot devices as the shipdestroy-
ing warp-core breach (which seems about
as serious as a bad case of the hiccups
alter seven years of Next Generation)
and the ever-present Trek bugaboo o( the
spatial anomaly (possibly the worst con-
cept in science fiction history).
But as with this season of Deep
Space Nine, the last couple of Voyager
episodes have shown more promise. Char-
acter development has been better-inte-
grated into the plots, and tile plots them-
selves have been new and interesting. 1
especially liked last week's episode in
which the crew of the Voyager encoun-
ters an alien race that has a device ca-
pable of cutting the ship's Tit-year voy-
age home in half.
Unfortunately, this race has a law-
similar to the Federation's Prime Direc-
tive that doesn't allow them to give ad-
vanced science to technologically-inferior
races. Seeing a Trek crew squirm as
they're put on the receiving end of the
Prime Directive made this fan giggle with
delight.
Walking a fine line between Next
Generation's optimism and Deep Space
Nine's pessimism. Voyager is off to a
fine start If they can avoid the Gilligan s
fefandstyte pitfalls of having the crew-
fail to get home every second episode,
this could turn out to be the best and
most popular Star Trek series yet

SPENT from page 7
Annie, gets the vocal spotlight. She
has her own style of singing that is
very melodious and floating. In
fact, it is almost haunting. The song
on the whole is very good, and
when I first heard it I thought that
it would be worthwhile to buy the
CD just for this one song.
"Landscaper" is probably the
most different-sounding song on
the whole album. It starts out le-
ally fast, stops and then jumps back
into the song again with a great
flourish. There are many great
buildup techniques used by all the
instruments in the band, which
makes the song fun to listen to.
Another plus for this song is
that the lyrics are really interest-
ing, even though they don't make
much sense: "To be tied to a wheel-
chair Tie a shoe around your neck
And she was confiscating jars
of Blistex Makers of the finest
subtext, But anyway the weather's
nice Like a Spring day in July
The last song on the album,
"Brighter Than Day is a very slow
and depressing song, but it was a
good choice to end the album with.
1 like the way they use just guitar
and vocals to come up with a song
this depressing.
This song makes me think of
something the band Codeine would
put together, but I liked it just the
same.
Spent definitely has a lot go-
ing for them, especially talent.
Songs For Drinking and Rebellion
is a great album that I think many
will enjoy. So whether you are
happy, sad or somewhere in the
middle. Spent has something for
evervone.
CANDY
from page 7
sion generated an unease that un-
nerved the viewer.
As with many successful horror
films, a sequel to Candyman was
made. And like the sequels to most
other horror films. Candyman: Fare-
well to the Flesh is terrible. Barker's
original idea has been subverted into
a sorry excuse to show victims hav-
ing their gullet opened by a hook.
The original, inventive ideas of the
first film have been bastardized by
filmmakers eager only to make a
profit.
The Candyman in Farewell to
the Flesh is the spirit of a black man
named Daniel Robitaille (Tony Todd.
who played The Candyman in the
original). Robitaille was killed in the
1890s because he fell in love with
and impregnated a landowner's
daughter. Because of the illicit af-
fair, Robitaille was mercilessly beaten
by a white mob. The mob cut off
Robitaille's hand with a rusty saw
and then covered his body with
honey to lure bees to him. The girl's
father then showed Robitaille his
own tortured complexion in a mir-
ror just before he died. The spirit of
Robitaille was trapped in the mirror.
and The Candyman was born.
Farewell to the Flesh tries to
tell a mystery story within a horror
film as Annie Tarrant (Kelly Rowan
in a hopelessly lame performance)
searches for her connection to The
Candyman. But the mystery turns out
to be fairly obvious, and the suspense
it generates is minimal. Instead, the
filmmakers, especially director Bill
Condon, try to build suspense by hav-
ing people sneak up on each other or
see a black man who is not The
Candyman. Rather than invest energy
in generating real suspense, the film-
makers use obvious, cliched methods
to scare the audience. This method of
scaring leaves the audience feeling
used rather than genuinely frightened.
Films like Farewell to the Flesh
infuriate me. Reviewing them proves
to be a complete waste of time be-
cause they offer nothing even worth
making an effort to criticize. If view-
ers would stop paying to see such "un-
adulterated pap" (to quote Grandpa
Simpson), the film studio would in-
vest money in quality scripts. But low-
budget stupid, derivative and dull hor-
ror films continue to inundate the
multiplexes of America. Viewers need
to send a message to Hollywood by
just saying "no
On a scale of one to 10,
Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh rates

Senior Lady Pirate tennis player Elke Garten enjoyed success
against UNC-Wilmington. earning her 12th win of the season.
this match would probably lock up the
filth seed in the upcoming CAA tour
nament.
The battle began shortly after 2
p.m. in the sun and light wind in the
shadow of the glorious Williams Arena
at Minges Coliseum.
Sophomore Courtney Hargett,
playing the No. 1 spot for the 17th
tune this year, utilized her aggressive
forehand and blazing serve to jump
out to an early lead. Her opponent.
Jillian Perch, found herself in a deep
hole of which she could not recover.
Hargett won in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
One of the most talented fresh-
man ever to come into the Pirate pro-
gram is Rachel Cohen. The Philadel-
phia, Pa. native has a 15-2 record and
possesses an all-around game that at
times can be deadly. This was such a
time, as Cohen totally dominated
UNC-W's Becky Baker by a 6-1, 6-0
score.
"She plays on a different level
than the other girl men's tennis head
coach Bill Moore said. "It was total

The East Carolinian
Major League owners make "final, best offer"
Jim Litke
Associated Press
By an unofficial count, this lat-
est version of a final, best offer by
the major league owners marks at
least the third time they've resorted
to that tired gimmick.
It suggests that either a) they
can't count, b) they get a kick out
of threatening the hired help, or
most likely, c) they're so used to
working with "yes men" that they
don't know what to do when some-
one says no.
In any case, the most recent
warningandorproposal deliv-
ered by acting commissioner Bud
Selig doesn't appear any more
likely to force a negotiated settle-
ment than the previous two. Not
that it kept him from trying.
Selig staged a dramatic late-
night news conference Monday, and
for those who were too busy watch-
ing the Oscars, imagine someone
who looks a lot like Jerry Lewis try-
ing to look his most menacing:
"After the season starts - Sun-
day night - we can't any more cal-
culate what's going to happen
Selig said. "So this offer has got
to be accepted by this weekend
Considering the competition,
Selig's remarks garnered a surpris-
ing amount of coverage the next
morning, much of it surprisingly op-
timistic. "SIGNS OF HOPE read
the headline in the big-city news-
paper here. But whatever sense of
urgency moved Selig apparently
failed to stir his counterpart.
Said union head Donald "No"
Fehr, when he learned of the offer,
"I'll get back to Bud tomorrow
What Fehr knows, what all of
us should keep in mind as the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board pre-
pares once more to rap their knuck-
les with a ruler, is that for all their
bravado, the last thing the owners
want to do right now is see the re-
placement season begin.
The owners have come up with
all manner of flimsy excuses about
why the games have to be played.
For the little guys: the vendors, the
ticket-takers and the souvenir-sell-
ers. For the big guys: the advertis-
ers. For the really big guy: history.
They have dressed up teachers,
social workers, caterers and black-
jack dealers in pinstripes and road
grays and tried to pass them off as
ballplayers. Instead, like a small lie
that grows, the problems simply
compound: for example at the Cin-
cinnati Reds training camp in
Haines City, Fla a bread truck
driver named Robby Robertson gets
moved from the outfield to first
base. The guy whose mitt he was
borrowing gets cut. So Robertson
checks the deliveries each day wait-
ing for a first-baseman's mitt that
never comes. Neither do the fans.
Just like the pretzels and the
replica jerseys and caps, and the
peanuts and pennants, nobody is
buying. The owners know this now,
too. No wonder Fehr says "I'll get
back to Bud tomorrow No won-
der Bud gets back to him first.
"This proposal is much less
than the clubs hoped to achieve,
and I'm sure it will not thrill you
either Selig said in a letter sent
Tuesday to all major league play-
ers.
"But both the clubs and the
players are at the point in this dis-
pute where they must swallow hard
and make an agreement. Other-
wise, we will continue to do dam-
age to this industry, which ulti-
mately will cost the clubs and play-
ers far more than the amount at
stake in this negotiating
The owners' growing despera-
tion is obvious. This latest final,
best offer is a variation on the
stop-me-before-I-hurt-myself-and-
others plea. But it will not impress
the players. Any sense of compas-
sion and all sense of proportion
was lost long ago.
Over the weekend, White Sox
owner Jerry Reinsdorf likened Don
Fehr to cult leader Jim Jones. Soon
after, one of Reinsdorf's hirees,

On Friday, a judge will decide
whether to grant an injunction re-
quested by the National Labor Re-
lations Board. Then the players
will decide whether to walk back
into the game. The best guess now
is that both things will happen and
not long after, a deal will actually
get done.
Then the owners and players
will make a pitch to the rest of us.
Come back for half-price tickets,
good-faith productions, the un-

pitcher town.
In her senior year of high school.
Bendle's softball team was an impres-
sive 30-1. More impressively, though,
was Bendle's individual win-loss
record, an astounding 25-1.
When meeting the team for the
first time, Bendle 5ot the impression
the team was very unified. She bought
into this concept just hoping she
would gel the opportunity to contrib-
ute.
In her last outing against George
Mason. Bendle gave up just two hits,
while striking out four and walking
only one. improving to 12-3. That's
contribution.
? It helps that, being a freshman,
I am in a four-pitcher rotation. We re-
ally help each other out said Bendle.
"What makes it even easier is that we
don't have to strike everybody out. We
just put the ball in play an let the
players behind us take care ot the
rest
"The team has really made me
feel like 1 belong. That's important.
because a pitcher can't get anywhere
without the players behind her If No.

who notched career-highs in virtually
all offensive categories a year ago,
blasted his first-ever collegiate home
run to left center in the seventh in-
ning of the loss. He'd finish 2-for-3
with a walk on the afternoon.
Rigsby. a freshman first baseman,
tied the game at one with his solo shot
to right in the fourth inning. However,
that would be his only hit to go with
two strikeouts.
Pirate leadoff batter Lamont
Edwards continued his torrid hitting,
lending a 2-for-4 hitting performance
to the Pirate cause. He also made an
error in the first, but it did not lead
to any Kent State run production af-
ter Wharton shut down the Flash at-
tack with the bases loaded.
All in all. the Pirate were flat- ,
out beaten by a better team on Mon- .
