But infighting within the state's film industry may side- track anticipated growth. Some experts say the state's film industry is approaching a crucial point, where it makes the leap from simply being a location for Hollywood films to becoming an independent hub of a multibillion-dollar industry. In the past 15 years, North Carolina, especially Wilmington, has become a favored spot for film refugees from California and New York lured by a film-friendly, right-to-work state where it costs less to make movies. (AP) - A $50 million-a-year state program to put welfare re- cipients to work isn't working very well, according to research- ers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A five-year study of almost 5,500 recipients found that par- ticipants in JOBS - Job Oppor- tunities and Basic Skills Training - are slightly more likely to find a job than other welfare recipi- ents. But they do not make sig- nificantly more money when they do, and the program costs at least 14 times mo-e than it saves the state in welfare costs for each par- ticipant, said Dennis Orthner, who directed the study by the School of Social Work at UNC- CH. Around the Country (AP) - A subway train slammed into the rear another train in New York Monday in the middle of a bridge over the East River, killing one person and in- juring at least 40, authorities said. The crash happened at about 6:10 a.m. on the Williamsburg Bridge, which links Brooklyn and Manhattan, said Transit Author- ity spokesman Bob Slovak. Emergency Medical Service spokesman David Billig said one person died and 40 to 45 others were taken to hospitals. He had no detail on how severe the inju- ries were. (AP) � Spouses and children of legal aliens in New York would get visa preference under a fed- eral advisory panel's recommen- dations that call for cutting legal immigration by one-third, The New York Times reported today. Around the World (AP) - Rescue teams headed home from demolished Neftegorsk, Sakhalin Island, their chances of finding additional earthquake survivors waning. With them came one bright spot: a 6-year-old boy unearthed from the ruins. Early today, the confirmed death toll from the May 28 quake rose to 1,197, with crews still dig- ging through the debris in search of more bodies. Campus roadways set to take new path Wendy Rountree Assistant News Editor Plans to build a new entrance to campus and extend College Hill Drive next year will probably confuse alumni when they return to reminisce about their college years. Bruce Flye, director of facilities planning, design and construction said the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) approved two road projects for the university late last year. Both projects are listed in the university's Master Plan, which was published in 1992. The univer- sity created the Plan to handle the expectant student body increase in the future. The first of the two road projects will be Library Drive. It will run be- tween the Public Safety building and SlayUmstead residence halls, circle in front of the then completed Joyner Library and tie into Ninth Street. Richard Brown, vice chancellor for business affairs said the Drive will have significant impact on the cam- pus and will serve as the university's new formal entrance. "It will realign the campus to 10th Street, our new front door Brown said. Currently. Flye said the univer- sity considers 10th Street to be its "back door" entrance. He said he be- lieves the university needs the new entrance way because the university is growing and changing. "It will give us a much more for- mal entrance for a university of this size Flye said. After construction the front of Joyner Library will face 10th Street not the center of campus. Brown said the new entrance and the new library will compliment each other. "It should be an extremely at- tractive t itrance way into campus, focusing on the library Flye said the new entrance will also make the library more accessible to people. "It will make it easier for out- side people to access the area The Library Drive project, scheduled to begin in June 1996, will cost $825,000. "They (NCDOT) are paying for it. doing the design work and work- ing with us to see that it suits our needs Flye said. The other project. College Hill Drive, will cost $600,000 and con- struction is scheduled to start in the summer of 1997. "We will relocate College Hill Drive Flye said. "It will go along the property lines of Eppes Middle School and our property College Hill Drive will no longer run in front of Jones, Aycock and Scott but behind them. Brown said this will give College Hill residents a feeling of community. "We will turn College Hill into a community by eliminating the exist- ing road Brown said.

ECU's new fiber optic network will provide a backbone for a variety of mul- timedia opportu- nities such as a 10,000-line tele- phone system. A new stu- dent database has recently been installed and plans for Kiosk (information teller) machines are already un- derway. "Its a big and very difficult project with this new technology said NSSI Project Manager Monte Robertson. "Any project of this size, you have your ups and downs all problems or any- thing that's slipped through the cracks has to be taken care of The need for ECU to improve its technologies sprang from a lack of cam- pus telephone lines.

"One of the challenges of this field is to keep up to date and to be aware of advances that are taking place through adaptive technologies said C.C.

"A huge number of disabled people are able to take their place in society because of this new technol- ogy Rowe said. The conference was concluded by a question and answer session with a panel of experts that included Angelo Sonnesso. a blind student and Dr. David Lunney, a professor of chemis- try and the previous director of the Science Institute for the Disabled was also on the panel.

Anyone ready for a swim? Thanks to local and state fund- ing. ECU will be offering current middle grade teachers an opportunity to expand their knowledge and en- hance their teaching skills. The University of North Carolina Mathematics and Science Education Network (MSEN), in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), will be sponsoring summer courses in science and math for public school teachers of grades K-8. The MSEN is a statewide pro- gram established in 1984 by the leg- islature to improve math and science education in schools. "It's a wonderful program said Katharine Hodgin, director of the ECU Department of Math and Science at ECU. "Because these courses pri- marily deal with the middle grades, the teachers will be doing a lot of fun and interesting things. They will get to do a lot of hands-on activities One of the courses being offered is Teaching for Understanding for 6th to 8th grade science teachers. It will be held from June 12-23. This course will be taught by Dr. Helen Park and assistant, Rita Elliot of Pitt County Schools.

The study could lead to reduced usage of lights and sirens, allowing am- bulances to avoid the dangers associ- ated wttJithem. Dr. Richard Hunt, associate pro- fessor m the ECU School of Medicine oversaw-the study, which analyzed the travel times of ambulances from emer- gency scenes to the hospital. In the study, Hunt compared the travel times of ambulances using lights and sirens to those not using them. To accomplish this, an ambulance not using lights and sirens would retrace the route of a pre- vious run, during the same time of day and week the actual run had taken place. Hunt's study concluded that am- bulances using lights and sirens reach the hospital on average of only 43.5 seconds fester. Ambulances using lights and sirens can exceed the speed limit, while those that do not must obey all traffic laws. Hunt said Lawrence Brown, a paramedic from the ECU School of Medicine, was e- sponsible for collecting the data for re- peat runs without lights and sirens He also assisted HunHn analyiing the data. Brown said there are reasons why the difference in travel time is so small. "If you're driving an ambulance in town, and there's a lot of traffic, even if people try to pull over and get out of the way, it's going to take time for them to do that, if traffic's backed up Brown said. "You still have to stop at stop signs and stop lights. You have to stop and make sure nothing's coming, and then go through. So the things that slow you down, still slow you down, they just don't slow you tions that are performed at emergency departments can be performed by the ambulance personnel. I'm not sure that most people in the city realize how highly trained they are Due in part to the findings of this study, Greenville Fire and Rescue are reviewing their guidelines for using lights and sirens. If ambulances can decrease the use of lights and sirens, they may be able to avoid some of the dangers associated "You still have to stop at stop signs down quite as much For most people trans- ported by ambu lance, it doesn't matter if they get to the hospital 43.5 seconds slower. Most of the care a patient would receive at the hospital can be administered in an am- bulance. 4 "The EMS Emergency Medical Service) providers in the city of Greenville are very highly trained, and they're able to perform many of the life saving procedures that would be per- formed in an emergency department Brown said. "If you need to have a medi- cine administrator for a heart attack, most of the emergency medicines can be given by the people on the ambu lance. If you're a diabetic, and you need to get sugar, the ambulance people can do that "Most of the life saving interven- � and stop lights � Lawerence Brown Paramedic from ECU School of Medicine Mm mm with them. "The reason for using lights and sirens is so the traf- fic will allow you to move by them or around them, in a manner that you wouldn't be able to do if you weren't using lights and sirens Brown said. "Assuming that everybody else lets you do that that's fine, but if there's one person who's not paying attention, now you have a problem. "In terms of using lights and si- rens to go through an intersection. Pre- sumably everybody else is supposed to stop when they see your red lights and sirens, and hopefully if they don't, you will see them. But there is always the possibility that as you proceed through that intersection, somebody is not pay- ing attention, who is coming from around a corner, or you haven't seen them, will run into you, or you will run into them. Brown said this study does not in- dicate that ambulances using lights and sirens are more likely to crash. "We haven't measured that at all Brown said. "But if we assume that when you're running lights and sirens, you're operating the ambulance outside normal traffic patterns, it's pretty easy to see that operating an ambulance outside of normal traffic patterns is going to increase your risk, as opposed to just driving in normal traffic This particular study was com- pleted and therefore applicable only to Greenville. Brown confirmed that other cities are interested in the time savings factor, but said because of geographi- cal differences, eacn city will have to do their own study. "My personal experience has been, the greater the distance to the hospital, the greater the time savings will be (when using lights and sirens) Brown said. "It's more a function of distance to the hospital than of population den- sity Brown suspects ambulance drivers will have a mixed response to the pros- pect of using lights and sirens less of- ten. "There's a lot that we do in EMS that we do because we've always done it that way Brown said. "That's prob- ably true with all professions. It seems to be very true with us, and until we do these kinds of studies to figure out what really does make a difference, it's going to be hard to change 1 JciVvfl from page 1 Elementary Science.

This course is worth two graduate credits. Every course has emphasis on the integration of math and science and the development of thinking, rea- soning and problem solving skills. "Tuition is free, and the teach- ers will be furnished with materials Dawkins said. The fees are being handled by the Department of Public Instruction and the ECU Math and Science Department budget. Hodgin added, "We have enough money to support 60 teachers, and all of our spaces are not tilled yet, so there's still time for more to apply The application fee is $25, but that is the only fee teachers must pay.

"One of the things I think is go- ing to happen is that each person in our office will have an individual phone line said Rose Mary Stelma, director of financial aid.

Although the employ- ees will soon have voice mail, answer- ing student's questions takes time, Stelma said.

That's right, despite the fact that summer school elite pay activity fees, the campus rec- reation department closes its doors every day two hours before dark. Forget weekends. Most weight rooms and swimming pools awake at the crack of dawn and close between six and eight in the evening depend- ing on the day of the week. This is not to say these facilities are open the entire time. For a campus of 6,000 strong, the only facility open all day is Christenbury Weight Room. The rest open and close in short intervals like class changes. Get a workout in early on Fridays because if it is open, it shuts down mid after- noon. Nothing is open on the weekends except Minges pool Sun- days 2-5 p.m. The current system shuts out everybody unless they drop everything and exercise in short spurts during the day. Next time anyone is in class, tell the prof the report can't be done before 1:00 p.m because Christenbury pool will close. If he says Minges is open from 4-7 p.m. on weekdays tell him about the bag-boy work which pays his salary. If he gets hostile and challenges you to basketball at high noon, tell him the game better only last an hour because the gym closes at 1 p.m Campus Rec says no one shows during the summer and it is expensive to keep these facilities open day and night for so few. Demand is a key factor in availabilty. Why should a pool or weight room be open for just two people on a Friday afternoon? Good point, but if each of these facilities were more acces- sible, the problem would dissolve. Keep only one pool, weight room and gym open from 8 a.m. to at least 8:00 at night is the solution. For starters, more people will use the facilities because they are open longer than an Easy Glider infomercial. Every day stu- dents have to juggle classes and jobs while faculty teach and do research. Staff from student activities to maintenance are cut out completely the old way. When they leave after five, most places are closed. Longer hours makes things more accessible to the huge demands time puts on everyone. Next, this system will utilize the smaller resources such as staffing and funding better. Combining staff and closing down facilities could actually save money. Finally, if a school of 18,000 can use two pools and a few weightrooms during the year, surely a third of that can adjust to just one of each during the summer school. It's not a perfect world, but every now and then the admin- istration can do something which pleases everyone. The current system doesn't take working students or anyone else into ac- count except for short spots during the day. This is unfair be- cause students pay the same activities fees they pay in the fall. Faculty and staff work just as hard in the summer and deserve the same use of the facilities. Open up one facilty for longer hours and everybody wins. Perhaps, campus rec should do more than read the campus motto, "To Serve Everyone's saying how important it is to exercise. Is it more important to exercise then to go to class? It seems that way since the gym's only open during classtime. Our preoccupation with the life of death Mi I got into a conversation a few months back on what exactly is the fascination with the Faces of Death home video series. One of the points made was, "Of course it's a home video series who in their right minds would shell out the $6 to go see such a lurid tangle of images in the theater?" Immediately after I posed this question, I realized that the people who would indeed want to see it up on the big screen are the same gut- hungry sycophants who rent the tapes on a Saturday night and hoot at the television with a roomful of their friends. Grim horror. The final frontier in rwo-D shock. Only the realist of the real will do anymore in a world where no one is frightened by obvi- ously fake mass-murderers and gro- tesque beings from somewhere out- side of our concept of reality. It's another sign of the Death of Imagination. We don't need to sus- pend our disbelief for 92 minutes any- more. The whole idea of realism does it for us, all in grainy, completely be- lievable film footage. Pre-packaged violence. It holds us, captivates us, keeps us thumbing the "pause" button on the VCR ev- ery time we head for the kitchen so we won't have to chance missing the messiest moment in cinematic history because we were trying to wrestle free that stubborn bottle of beer that's gotten wedged behind the let- tuce in the back of the crisper. Often, though, there's as much laughter aimed at the screen as there Brian W. ight Opinion Columnist "We laugh at death � like much of life, it can degenerate into ludicrous absurdity are exclamations of revulsion. We're watching people die for the most pointless reasons, some of the time in the silliest of ways. We laugh at death - like much of life, it can de- generate into ludicrous absurdity. This adheres to the better-thee- than-me theory. It's better for thee to be on the underside of a 20-man FBI-pileup than me ! The Faces of Death videos, and their brother and sister versions, Traces of Death, Red on the High- way, and on and on, are more testa- ments to our stupidity and foolish pride than to the frailty of the hu- man condition. Our fatal blunders are splashed, sometimes literally, up on the screen in no-longer-living color, vulgar, blatant, and real. In a way, it's exhilarating to be able to take a peek at some of death's more grisly handiwork with- out actually running the risk of get- ting any on you. It's one thing to see someone grated to hamburger in an auto wreck, but present it in just the right way on videotape, and we're not quite so revolted to bear witness to it. Everyone stares long and hard at such things when they drive past them on the highway. Of course we do, we're safe ii. u own cars, with no embarrassment at our own mor- bid fascination. Watching it on tele- vision is probably the safest form of disaster rubbernecking, where you can look for as long as you like, with no policemen telling you to move on, that there's nothing more to see. But there is more to see, isn't there? With the advent of video, there's pler'y more to see, and with the benefit of rewind, pause and fast- forward, we can see it as many times as we want. We're out for gore. No more middle ground. The same Texas Chainsaw Massacre that scared the hell out of people decades ago now only garners yawns, demands that the tape be ejected and replaced with something saucier, and the oc- casional nostalgia for those semi- thrilling days of yestersplat. Ultraviolence sells, in film, car- toons, comic books and video games. I'm very curious to see what Mortal Kombat XXI looks like when it comes out on SNES this fall. I'm told that you won't even get the chance to play-your character im- mediately explodes this moment the game starts. It saves time and gets right down to the guts and gristle, which is what is in demand. The East Carolinian Stephanie B.

It's a bad tune for ECU The band Pink Floyd released their song "Another Brick in the Wall" in 1979. The trademark of the piece was a group of school children sing- ing the chorus: "We don't need no education This famous phrase is now in danger of being rewritten by the North Carolina General Assembly. The new Republican majority is joyfully singing their own rendition of this piece as they swing the budget cleaver in the State House. Their version is a combination of "You Don't Need No Education" and "The Tax Cut Waltz Last year the State of North Caro- lina enjoyed a $400 million budget sur- plus. This is part of North Ca-olina's long history of financial responsibil- ity. State law requires the budget be balanced every year. The extra $400 million in last year's budget was put into a rainy day fund to balance the budget in case of an economic down- turn in the future. The Democrats were criticized for not having given a tax cut instead. Raleigh has changed dramatically since the republican tidal wave hit. The new Republican House is prom- ising to slash spending to pay for a series of tax cuts Two- thirds of the state budget is educational spending; therefore, it only logically follows that the deepest cuts will be in the univer- sities and public schools. Bobby Etheridge, the superinten- dent of public instruction must un- derstand how Bosnians feel after be- ing shelled for a month. It doesn't seem Chechen rebels have taken as many losses as the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. One almost ex- pects to see sandbags in the windows of the Education Building in Raleigh. The overwhelming majority of the House spending cuts are in state spending for education. This affects Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist more than just the Department of Public Instruction. It threatens the University of North Carolina System as well. The Republican budget plan that passed the N.C. House threatens to cut 60 positions at East Carolina University. Remember, the Ceneral Assembly also promises to raise tuition 25 percent for students not graduating on time. Of course, the Republican budget plan also promises a three percent tuition increase for in-state students and a much larger one for out of state stu- dents. It will also limit graduate stu- dent assistantships. The music has just begun to play. ECU Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Richard Brown said in a recent interview that cuts at this level will affect services at East Carolina. "We're very lean to begin with in terms of funding to academic departments, funding for equipment and support staff he said. "This budget hits us in places where we are already deficient in terms of total budget" That's just a polite way of saying these cuts will affect the quality of services that are already lacking at ECU. While the N.C. House is slashing education spending, they are gleefully singing the classic tune "We're in the Money The dollars saved from cuts in public education are helping repeal the Intangibles Tax. If you are like most North Carolinians, you probably haven't even heard of this tax, much less ever paid it Eighty percent of this windfall goes to the wealthiest 10 percent of the population. Rep. Toby Fitch (D-Wilson) pro- posed that the state repeal the sales tax on food instead. He argued this would benefit ail North Carolinians- -not just the wealthy. However, House Republicans soundly defeated this bill. The House Democrats have little choice but to sit on the back row and watch the budget plan sail through the Republican dominated chamber. ECU's last hope is the joint con- ference between the House and Sen- ate Budget plans. The House bill cuts $2.3 million at ECU, compared to only $176,00 in the Senate plan. Sen. Ed Warren (D-Pitt), Greenville's senator, vows to fight cuts at ECU. However, his counterpart Rep. Henry Aldridge (R-Pitt), supports the House budget anil the cuts for ECU. This will surely make it difficult for East Carolina as the budget battle unfolds. The issue is more than simply protecting funding for the largest employer in Pitt County. It is a mat- ter of preserving quality public edu- cation for North Carolina's future. Community colleges and public uni- versities have been a major part of North Carolina's tremendous eco- nomic growth during the past 30 years. While house Republicans may want to dance to the music of "Tax Cut Fever they may instead rewrite the words to "Happy Days Are Here Again m Letters to the Editor To the Editor The American Revolution, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. Millions of Americans have made the supreme sacrifice for this nation. It doesn't matter if the cause was right it doesn't matter if they wanted to go, or if the government told them to go. Those men and women of all ages, races, and religions still died for our country. On Memorial Day, we honor them. Our fed- eral government banks, and businesses honor th se men and women, but our school doesn't? Why? Why is it that our school recognizes and shuts down for the birthday of a great American, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who gave his life for a very important cause, but it won't recognize the millions of Ameri- cans who gave their lives so that all Americans could be free. This letter is not intended as a ploy to just get an- other day out of school so we can lay around. It is also understood that sum- mer school is a very intense session in which every day counts for many days of a regular semester, but I am sincerely bothered by this. Why doesn't our school recognize these Americans? If I were to give my life for my country, the people in it and the freedom we so often take for granted, I hope I would be remembered and recognized just as much as any other American who died for a cause they believed in.

I Wednesday, June 7,1995 77e fast Carolinian Local underground bands emerge for AIDS benefit Brandon Waddell Assistant Lifestyle Editor AIDS, an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a disease that has received its fair share of attention over the past several years. Spawned from this awakening, both factual and ignorant propa- ganda have made their way into the human psyche. Due to the huge amount of AIDS and HIV informa- tion, most people do know the ba- sics. One problem, among many, is the lack of funding desperately needed for research, medication and education. Fortunately, there are those in Greenville who selflessly give of themselves everyday. Their mission is not only to properly educate the community, but also to help those infected with HIV, the AIDS-causing virus; enter PICASO (Pitt County AIDS Service Organization). Since 1991, this collective group of men and women generously vol- unteer their time and energy to com- bat this dreaded disease. PICASO is a private, non-profit, incorporated or- ganization dedicated to serving those persons infected with HIVAIDS as well as their friends and families, in the Pitt County area. "At PICASO, we provide several services; AIDS education in the com- munity and speaking events, nutri- tional education and direct services including medication, buddy pro- grams and support groups said Bucket "A Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great scream- ing bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. Jennifer Coleman Staff Writer O.K. men, listen up! What you're about to read will change your life. Today's topic is "Advice on Dating" - from a female per- spective. The story begins in B.C. (be- fore conversation). This is the time between the first moment you see her (your eyes meet across a solution of hydrochloric acid and starch in biology lab) and you work up the nerve to speak to her (sometime after graduation). The first bit of ad- vice is don't wait so long! Most girls will not run screaming from a guy because he says hello. However, a girl is very likely to run screaming if you choose an opening line like, "Your laugh sounds just like that hyena in The Lion King or "That's quite a set of hooters you've got there! You must be very proud References to a girl's chest are not cute. The only thing a line like that will get you is ignored or slapped. Just be yourself. Don't try to impress a girl with your "romantic side A friend of mine tells me that the worst pick-up line she ever heard was, "Your daddy must have been a thief, because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes That not only sounds ridiculous, it is.

Funding being a primary con- cern of the organization, PICASO is always interested in new ideas to generate money. Only a third of the organization's expenses are financed by the United Way. As far as cover- ing the rest of their tab, they rely on private grants and fundraisers. Local punkhardcore musicians collaborated their idea of having an AIDS benefit concert and brought it to Allinson's attention. "I welcome anyone who would like to donate their time and talent; our goal is to make everyone aware of AIDS. It doesn't matter whether the musical act is Nine Inch Nails or Lawrence Welk, if one or two people learn something, we won Allinson said. "AIDS is the number one killer of people ages 18-25.

Reviews m THE INEVITABLE � HNS Squirrel Nut Zippers The Inevitable Squirrel Nut Zippers Kris Hoffler Staff Writer It's not often in this time of car- bon-copy bands that someone dares to do something totally different. The Squirrel Nut Zippers are from the Chapel Hill area and are totally different. But what's different? There's nothing new under the sun, right? How about playing music from 70 years ago? No one does that, right? Many people have never heard it to begin with. But that's what The Squirrel Nut Zippers do. The Zippers are a cross be- tween many sounds of the'20s and '30s, but are especially kin to King Oliver's Creole Jazz band. King Oliver flourished in the days of flap- pers and prohibition; his sound was energetic, jumpy and famous for its double improvisation. The Zippers' sound is much like Creole jazz, but it's a little simpler with less impro- visation and much more singing. The Squirrel Nut Zippers are comprised of seven mem- bers, most of whom play more than one instru- ment. They have drums, trumpet, string bass, banjo, alto and baritone sax, guitar and vocals. The question that keeps nagging me is how did these people find each other? Many people have never heard this music, much less desire to play it. The disc opens with "Lover's Lane "Gettin high on Bourbon and Champagne just can't com- pare to what we share on Lover's Lane singers Katherine Whalen and James Mathus croon over the energetic sounds of the sax and banjo. The tempo is fast, conducive to the Charleston. The next track is much slower; it sounds like a funeral march. The vocals are done by Whalen, the one female member of the band. To say that someone sounds like Billie Holiday is risky, but Whalen comes close. Her voice is creamy and croons out the lyrics with a mourn- ful quality. The addition of the vio- lin and the muted trumpet are great on this track and add much to the vintage sound they are trying to produce. Whalen really shines on "Anything but Love" and "Wished for You I suppose she is the bal- lad singer for the band; all the tracks she sings on are slow. My personal favorite is "Good Enough for Granda�j " Oh man, what a tune! This one's a foot- stompin' ragtime thing that throbs with energy. The banjo strums and the trumpet wails along as the singer lays down the story of granddad. "If it's good enough for Granddad, it's good enough for me. The way it was is the way it's got to See NUT page 6 her reaction to Braveheart this way: "Mel Gibson in a kilt for three hours, riding a horse. What else do you need?" But there is more to this film than just Gibson's rugged charm. Braveheart is Mel Gibson's sec- ond directoral ef- fort, his first be- ing The Man Without a Face. Like the title character in Gibson's earlier film, Braveheart's main character, William Wallace (Mel Gibson), pos- sesses a keen sense of justice. When Wallace fights he does so only when certain his stance is cor- rect - and worth fighting for. Shot in the beautiful highlands of Scotland, Braveheart retells the story of Wallace's legendary battles against the British. Wallace fought to end the oppressive tyranny of England. Though Wallace wanted nothing more with his life than to raise children and run a farm, the English dominance of Scotland be- came too great for Wallace to stom- ach. Wallace's reasons for fighting are crystallized in one word: free- dom. As Braveheart opens the En- glish nobles have been granted the right to sleep with each Scottish bride on her wedding night. Be- cause of this rule, Wallace weds in secret. Soon after being married though, a British officer tries to rape Wallace's wife (Catherine McCormick). Wallace stops the crime then puts his wife on a horse for her to escape. Unfortunately she is captured and killed in order to draw Wallace back to the vil- lage. Only upon his wife's death does Wallace become com- pletely aware of just how unjust the British laws are. Armed with simple weapons and outnumbered, Wallace leads the Scottish peasants in all out war against En- gland. In battle after battle the emotional savagery of the Scottish best the detached precision of the English. The country of Scotland is not united behind Wallace, however. The Scottish nobles hesitate to fight England because of the plen- tiful land they have been given. In- stead the nobles side with the Brit- ish to curry their favor. Wallace's mercenary army thus has two ob- stacles to surmount if freedom is to be won. Gibson stages Braveheart with assured grace. The battles maintain their ferocity while still being po- Gibson stages Braveheart with assured grace. The battles maintain their ferocity while still being poetic etic. Much of Sergei Eisenstein, the famed Russian director, can be seen in Gibson's work. The battle se- quences look like they could have been lifted from Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky. The nearest recent audiences have come to seeing battles this bloody were in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V. Though Braveheart lacks the complexity of Branagh's film, Gibson has effectively captured (as did Branagh) the thrill of battle. Gibson obviously labored for an incredible amount of time on this picture. A literal cast of thou- sands all charging ahead, slashing swords and screaming at the top of their lungs must have been a bit like trying to control a kindergar- ten class on a field trip to the zoo. Gibson not only stages the battles well, but he manages to evoke good performances from everyone in the cast. In a film filled with less-than- household names, nary a weak character can be found. Several flaws in Braveheart un- dermine its overall power and make it less of an epic and more a three- hour entertainment. One problem is the pristine picture painted of Wallace. As in The Man Without a Face, Gibson wants to convey the genuine virtuosity of his hero so much that he fails to give him any complexity. Wallace seems to have no character flaws. The film wants to portray a legend, but in three hours some complexity needs to emerge. See KILT page 6 Relive rollerskate memories J. Miles Layton Staff Writer Members Only jackets. Para- chute pants. Rollerskate parties. First kisses. Break dancing. Every Friday from 8-12 p.m. these memo- ries become real again on WZMB 91.3 FM. Music becomes a shady mix which transports anyone back to in- nocent carefree days. The bartenders are Dave Rich- mond and Jim Matheson. Culture Club, Taco, Corey Hart, The Mary Tyler Moore theme song and one- hit-wonder groups are brushed off and served up hot. While most of the planet has turned vinyl into CD's, Richmond and Matheson have been quietly col- lecting for years. Much of their col- lection has come from CD alley or Quicksilver, but they are always in search of the long forgotten. Where can anyone find Toni Basil of 'Mickey' fame or Taco's "Puttin' on the Ritz" anymore? "Wherever I go. I am constantly thinking about the show and pick- ing stuff up said Richmond, a graduating senior in political sci- ence. Matheson, next year's produc- tion manager, has been collecting for a long time. He has several hun- dred albums. I have been collecting ever since the early '80s Matheson said. Matheson transferred from NC State where he first got interested in radio. "Several of my friends were DJs and they told me 1 had a good radio voice. So, I tried it out and got hooked said Matheson, a nursing major. Richmond has been working at WZMB for two years putting in his dues as a DJ before he got the pre- mier spot. He started hosting the Retro show in January in a meager two-hour time slot before the show expanded to four hours. Richmond has always been in- terested in music and wanted to be on the radio. "I have always liked music and in high school people told me that I had a good voice, so I got involved at WZMB Richmond said. Richmond hopes to pursue a ca- reer in broadcasting when he gradu- ates this summer. i am trying to get another job as a DJ in the area said Richmond who also DJs Retro parties. "I like doing Retro shows because it brings back great memories Richmond said it is hard to de- cide what his favorite flashback groups are. Though he has lots of albums and CD's which range from Asia to a collection of TV theme songs, Richmond says he likes them all. Dire Straits is Matheson's top choice but he said it is haid to de- cide which is best. The dynamic duo's show is more than just music. Wacky commercials, like Pee Wee Herman voice overs for sexual solitaire, add spice to the show, as does the infamous Retro Poetry. The latter activity involves reading the lyrics Of strange and ab- surd songs out loud. The duo tries to plan the show with a theme, but the overwhelm- ing requests they get really dictate the show. "We get more requests than any other show Richmond said. "One time we got over 50 calls in an hour. We get requests up until 11:30 p.m. and after When cheerleading Toni Basil's one-hit wonder "Mickey" came on, Richmond was transported back to a roller skating party. For him, Retro is more than music. "It is the attitude, the memo- ries Richmond said. Wednesday, June 7 1995 The East Carolinian KILT from page 5 NUT f,�m Another problem is the exces- sive amount of time spent away from Wallace. Too many shots of the KinK of England at his court and far. far too many scenes of the next king of Scotland consulting with his dying father slow down Braveheart Gibson is not an artist. He needs to keep his vision simple. If Braveheart had been under two hours then the one-sided portrayal of Wallace would have worked and then Gibson could have left many of the duller scenes on the cutting room floor. Still, few stars in Hollywood are as big as Gibson and my friend does have a point about his appeal. Braveheart works well as heroic en- tertainment. It moves much quicker, even at three hours, than did Rob Roy. Hut Jid Gibson really need to take three hours to tell this tale, no matter how magnificent?

Remember, guys have feelings too. O.K back to the guys. Now that you've spoken to her. what do you do? The logical next step is to ask her out. Unfortunately, in today's society girls have to be really careful about who they date. So make it easy on them. Follow these two simple guide- lines. First of all, invite her to a very public place. Some good choices? A sporting event, a museum, a concert or even a movie. Some women even like going to parks or school play- grounds. These days most women don't feel comfortable being alone with a guy they don't know and trust. So a definite first-date no-no is ask- ing her back to your place for "din- ner In a public place, she'll feel more relaxed and the date will go much more smoothly. Secondly, suggest that she meet you wherever you re going. That way, if she begins to feel uncomfortable, she won't feel trapped. This isn't meant to offend anyone. Most guys out there are basically decent, but a few bad apples have made these pre- cautions necessary. So don't take it personally. Just know that she will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

The song builds and builds and then ends with a crunch. I just can't help but wonder how these people came up with the idea for this band. I mean who would think to play music from the age of the depression in the techno '90s? Being a big jazz fan I would natu- rally take a liking to it. This stuff may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is definitely worth listening to. The Squirrel Nut Zippers are a band of unique qualities and may never get the recognition they de- serve. Take a break from the screech- ing guitars and give a listen to America's past: this is party music for any occasion. I highly recommend it. AIDS from page 5 ground scene Smith said. "We haven't had any trouble getting bands to play this benefit: in fact, at one time we had too many bands. There are nine bands playing the event, which will start at 3 p.m each band has one hour to set up and play. "I've really had no problem or- ganizing the event: these bands play for fun and they embrace the oppor- tunity to benefit the community on a low-key basis such as Band Aids Smith continued. "The band mem- bers usually play for just enough money to get them from place to place.

In fact, don't wear dirty jeans and a scuzzy T-shirt anywhere. Girls appreciate it when a guy tries to look nice for them. That doesn't mean don a three-piece suit, but a comfortable pair of jeans or slacks and a nice shirt definitely make a good impression. Now-the most important part of the story how to treat your date. Girls like to be treated like ladies. So open doors to your heart's content. But when it comes to who should pay for a date, the answer is not so simple. Discuss it ahead of time. Some girls think that whoever asked for the date should pay. And there are guys out there who refuse to let a girl pay for her share. So, to solve the problem, talk about it before the date or, to follow the advice of an- other friend, take a picnic lunch so that you don't have to pay for any- thing. Well, the story is near the end. We've reached A.D. (After Date). Be sure to tell her that you had a nice time, but if the sparks aren't there, say so. Nothing makes a girl angrier than a guy who says he will call and then doesn't. And if you're feeling some chemistry, chances are she's feeling it too. So say so. To go out again, or not to go out again, that is the question. Sorry guys, but you'll have to solve that one on your own.

The Two Step has already volunteered their facility for another similar event in the fall.

Brad Nelson Staff Writer � � - . ECU"s baseball season ended on May 18 after back-to-back losses to the University of Richmond and the College of William and Man- in the CAA Tournament, held in nearby Kinston. The losses dropped the Pi- rates' record to a disappointing 29- 26. The dismal showing surprised many fans, who earlier basked in the glow of ECU's blazing 11-0 start. "Like any good club, we had to improve and we never did said ECU head coach Gary Overton. "It was dis- appointing that we were no better at the end of the season than we were at the beginning Although the inexperience of his young team showed in the latter half of the season, Overton said it was season. Injuries robbed ECU of freshman hurler Billy Layton and 1994 CAA second-teamer Jason Head. Layton was lost when he went down with an elbow injury against the Richmond Spiders early in the season. He was credited with the victory, improving his record to 4-0, but remained side- lined for six weeks due to the injury. The loss had a devestating affect on the club. "You could see the deflation in the team when layton went down Overton said. Also detrimental to the Pirates' success was the loss of rising senior Jason Head, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury in a late-season series against Georgia Southern. Head, who stepped forward as the emotional leader of the young ECU squad, was batting .295 with five Overton in Kinston. In the heat of Division I tourna- ment competition, Overton was forced to play freshmen in situations they may not have been entirely ready for. "At one point, we played seven true freshmen during the tourna- ment he said. Even with the mediocre season and the early exit from the tourna- ment, the ECU skipper pointed out the many positives to the season. Lamont Edwards finished the season with a .340 batting average to lead the Pirates, also finishing tops on the club in at-bats. runs, hits and triples. Freshman hurler Patrick Dunham showed flashes of brilliance by pitching a one-hitter against N.C. State, and finishing the season with a 3.28 ERA and a solid 7-5 record. Chad Newton was also impressive, pitching seven innings of no-hit ball against UNC and finishing the sea- son with a 2-3 mark in 17 appear- ances. Overton also saw team positives in strong victories over ACC rivals N.C. State, UNC and Duke, a fore- shadowing of just how good this team can be. Now, with the season behind them, Gary Overton and his Pirates are looking toward the future. "Once again we will play a very demanding schedule, with ACC and SEC opponents he said. "While we felt that we had one of our better defensive units in years, we are work- ing hard to recruit better offensive players and we have signed a larger incoming class than we have in quite a while Overton and his squad are look- ing forward to contending for the 1996 CAA title and returning to the NCAA regionals once again. With the experience of this season behind them and forecasts of a healthy team ahead, ECU's baseball future could shine as bright as championship sea- sons of the past. Photo Courtesy of SEAN HOWE Irates take collegiate ultimate title Staff Reports The East Carolinian On Memorial Day ECU's Irates ultimate frisbee squad became only the second team in the history of the sport to repeat as national champions after topping UC-Santa Cruz in the 1995 finals. The Irate squad traveled to the University of Illinois to defend their title as Collegiate National Champi- ons. They entered this year's tourna- ment as the number-one seed, despite losing six starters from last season's championship roster. With their intricate mixture of experienced veterans and one of the nation's most productive rookie classes, the Irates were able to bring home their second consecutive na- tional championship. As pool play began that Saturday morning, the Irates easily dominated first-time Nationals competitors Will- iams University, and handed them a 174 loss. The Irates soon discovered that other victories throughout the competition would not come as eas- ily. ECU faced Stanford University in their second-round matchup, in a rematch of the 1994 final game. ECU eventually outlasted the wind, rain and Stanford opposition, winning 19- 17. On Sunday, pool play, along with the Irates' domination of opponents, resumed. ECU began the day with a 17-6 victory over Carleton College, before moving on to a showdown with Cornell University, a tourney favorite. When the dust settled, the Irates came from behind to beat CU 17-13. ECU then finished pool play with a 17-5 win over the University of Geor- gia, giving them an unblemished 5-0 record. By Monday morning. Memorial Day, just four teams remained to com- pete for the national title. The semifi- nals began with ECU pitted against in-state rivals UNC-Wilmington, na- tional champions in 1993. The Irates overcame their toughest opposition yet to beat Wilmington by a single point, 18-17. In the other semifinal matchup, the University of California-Santa Photo Courtesy of SEAN HOWE Cruz eased by Stanford 19-11. pitting the top team from the west coast against the top team from the east. The final game began with a fired- up Santa Cruz squad taking an 11-7 halftime lead. The Irates, highly skilled and conditioned, outplayed their op- ponents in the second half, and went on to win 21-18. Upon conclusion of the tourna- ment, the Irates again lost senior play- ers: Bill Romberger, Mike Gerics and Tom Aloi, vital to the chemistry and success of the squad. more than just age and inexperience home runs and 39 RBIs for Overton, that led to the disappointing finish, and was fourth on the team in on- Numerous injuries plagued the team base percentage.

The two will be- gin Big South scheduling in the spring of 1996. and will be eligible for the Big South tournament in April 1996. "We are very pleased to add these two well-respected programs to our conference said Big South commis- sioner Buddy Sasser. "We have always had very good softball in the Big South, but these additions should make us even more competitive ECU has been independent in softball since the sport's beginning in the late-1970's. With a rich softball tradition, ECU finished in the top-five nationally in 1981 and 1982, has had two Broderick Award winners and several NCAA record-holders. This past season's 42-22 record marked the third time in the last four seasons that the Lady Pirates have won 40 or more games. In addition, ECU earned their third-straight bid to the ECAC Division-1 softball champi- onship. ECU also received votes in the HCSAUSA Today Top-25 poll through mid-April and was ranked seventh in the South regional poll in March. "Being a member of the Big South provides us with an opportu- nity to be a part of the NCAA Cham- pionships through conference affilia- tion said ECU head coach Sue Manahan. who has proven successful over the last 14 years with a 430-239- 3 record. "We look forward to being a part of a conference in which we can be competitive With the addition of ECU and UNC-W, the Big South will have nine members competing for the softball championship next season. Charleion Southern, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Maryland-Baltimore County, UNC- Greensboro. Radford and Winthrop are all future conference opponents �1 for the Lady Pirates and UNC-W's Lady Seahawks. UNC-Greens- boro won the 1995 Big South Softball Champi- onship and par- ticipated in three- game play-in se- ries with the TAAC for a berth in the NCAA Championships. ECU's Joey Clark has been named to the All- South Region Second Team for the 1995 season. Clark, a junior from Los Ange- les, California, started in 59 at first base for the Lady Pirates this season and batted .309 (50-162). Clark's 50 hits this season were second on the team, as were her 28 runs batted in and eight doubles. Defensively, Clark led ECU with a .986 fielding per- centage and 458 putouts. She will be one of 14 re- turning lettermen to next year's squad who will begin its first season of competition as a Big South team. We are very pleased to add these two well-respected programs to our conference" � Buddy Sasser Big South commissioner Intramural softball, tennis and hoops action underway David Gaskins Recreational Services Teams on the intramural sports activity calendar began play last week as action kicked off in softball, 5-on- 5 basketball and singles tennis. While summertime competition tradition- ally involved small numbers of par- ticipants and a low-key competitive approach, this session has seen a record-shattering number of teams for both softball and basketball, as well as an increased enthusiasm in participation. Seventeen softball teams are vy- ing for titles in the Men's Gold, Men's Purple and Co-Rec divisions. In Men's Cold action, "U Lose" got off to a strong start with a 17-14 victory over "Slow & Sloppy as Eddie Coble led the offensive attack by scoring four times and hitting a home run. Chris McLaney provided the main punch for the Sloppies. also scoring four times while homering twice. In the other Gold game of the week, the "Mooseheads" rode the power hitting of Greg Sutton and Mark Honeycutt to a 12-6 win over Theta Chi. The Men's Purple league also revealed early favorites as "Summer's Eve cruised to victories over the "Penthouse Players" and the "Cave- men as Kent Linker and Scott Kupec led a balanced scoring attack. "Transit Authority" also emerged from week one competition with two wins behind the pitching of Lance Ward and the all-around play of Corie Sink. In Co-Rec. "Mel's Team" has dominated, fueled by Stephen Flippin's defense and the offense of Matt Snyder and Mike Culligan. "The Economics Society" still looks strong as well, as they attempt to defend their title behind ciiampionship team returnees Lester Zeager. Mary Bishop and Diane Mahoney. In Gold basketball, the "O.D.B.s" emerged from the first week of play as the lone undefeated team behind the strong piay of point guard Chris Pressley and Derrick Harris. How- ever, the second contest of the week proved difficult as "Quiet Storm" pushed them to overtime before fall- ing 58-53. Kevin Fields and Garland Heggie led the "Quiet Storm" to a split of their two games as they defeated the "Bulging Tacos" 72-61 in their open- ing contest.

Most of the WOMEN from page 7 Donovan added to her staff by naming Charisse Mapp and Gaynor O'Donnell as assistant coaches. Mapp, a former University of North Carolina player, comes to ECU from Temple University, where she was re- sponsible for developing post players and also dealt with the evaluation of potential student-athletes. Mapp is a native of Brooklyn, NY and received her bachelor's degree in physical education from UNC in 1989. In 1994. she earned her master's degree in sports administra- tion from Temple. Mapp will serve as the Lady Pirates' recruiting coordi- nator. "Charisse is excited to return to North Carolina Donovan said. "She will bring to our program extensive recruiting experience O'Donnell, a former Lady Pirate standout, accepted the position as the restricted-earnings coach. O'Donnell lettered at ECU from 1989-93 and currently holds the school record for assists. In 1992-93 she led the nation in assists as a se- nior, averaging 10.7 a game. O'Donnell also holds the ECU record for assists in a season with 300, and assists in a game with 20 against UNC-Asheville in 1992. . O'Donnell also showed she could score, as she finished her career at ECU as the 14th leading scorer in Lady Pirate basketball history with 1,015 points. "It's great to have Gaynor rejoin the Lady Pirate program Donovan said. "Her national and international exposure will make her a great asset to the Lady Pirate staff and her suc- cess on and off the court will make her a great ambassador to the uni- versity On the court. Donovan will wel- come the signing of 5-foot-9 guard Laurie Ashenfelder to the Lady Pi- rates. Ashenfelder comes from Lackawanna Junior College in Scranton, Pa. where she played the last two seasons and was a junior col- lege standout. Ashenfelder averaged 17.6 points and 8.0 rebounds for Lackawanna last season as she helped lead them to the Region XIX conference title and a sev- enth-place finish in the national Jun- ior College tournament. She was a member of the Region XIX All-Tour- nament team and was chosen for the National All-Tournament team. "Laurie is an experienced perim- eter player who has competed very' successfully on the junior college level Donovan said. 'We will look for her to have an impact immediately with our program Ashenfelder joins Beth Jaynes. who committed to ECU in April, in the 1995 class of Lady Pirate signees.
