. ? ? June 28,1995 ? Vol 69, No. 97 - The East Carolinian Circulation 5,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 8 pases Around the State (AP) - With summer tempera- tures up. the Nantahala River is down and Whitewater rafters and kayackers are being left high and dry. A fire that shut down the Nantahala powerhouse Sunday morning has put a temporary stop to Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Macon and Swain counties. (AP) - Even though no one accused him of firing the fatal shot, Sidney Reddick was convicted of murdering a sleeping woman as part of an apparent attempt to avenge his honor. Jurors in Durham County Su- perior Court on Monday also found Reddick guilty of conspiracy in the murder of 67-year-old Inez Williams and of shooting into two occupied apartments. Reddick could receive up to life plus 30 years in prison when he is sentenced Tuesday. Around the Country (AP) - Cheered by an im- proved weather forecast, seven as- tronauts and cosmonauts boarded space shuttle Atlantis in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Tuesday for a mis- sion to dock with the Russian space station Mir. It was NASA's third attempt in five days to send Atlantis to the orbiting station and bring back an American astronaut and two Rus- sian cosmonauts. (AP) - A freight train slammed into a car at a rural crossing in Al- pine, Ala. killing four YMCA sum- mer camp counselors. The three women and one man killed Monday had just left Camp Cosby at Alpine to see a movie Monday evening when they were .struck at a crossing that has no bells or warning lights, Birmingham YMCA president Jim Raines said. Around the World (AP) - Egyptian investigators went to Ethiopia today to help po- lice search for the men who opened fire on President Hosni Mubarak's limousine. Mubarak held a rally in Cairo toda to celebrate the failure of the attack in Ethiopia on Monday, which killed two Ethiopian police- men and wounded one. Two attack- ers were killed, and the other five to seven - including one who was wounded - escaped. (AP) - A package bomb ex- ploded at Madrid's main post office today, wounding a postal worker in an attack officials attributed to the Basque separatist group ETA. Later, a bomb squad exploded a second parcel bomb found in the office. News reports said the sec- ond parcel was addressed to Alberto Cortina, a prominent busi- nessman. An Interior Ministry official, Margarita Robles, said the parcels appeared to be the work of ETA, which has killed 749 people since 1968, when it began fighting for an independent country in Spain's northeastern Basque provinces. Kidney center in the works ?i New facility will treat, teach kidney disease Wendy Rountree Assistant News Editor ECU's School of Medicine is re- sponding to increasing cases of kid- ney disease in eastern North Carolina. With the assistance of a private health care company, the school will build a new kidney facil- ity, where people will be treated and educated about the disease more effectively. "We fee! it is almost an epi- demic in eastern North Carolina said Dr. Paul Bolin, director of neurology and as- sistant professor at the School of Medicine. "It is a great need for treat- ment and investigation into end-stage renal disease in eastern North Caro- lina Bolin said the need comes from especially high percentage cases of hypertension and diabetes in the area. Patients will also be able to leam about kidney disease and how to pre- vent it at the center. "The center is not just for the treatment of patients, but also for patient education Bolin said. Bolin said kidney disease is most prevalent in the African American community, and African American women have a higher rate of kidney disease than any other group of indi- viduals. "All forms are more common in African Americans than in their Cau- casian counter- parts Bolin said. Bolin said the medical cen- ter has already sponsored out- reach programs in the African American com- munity such sign- ing up kidney donors. Plans are to continue and expand these pro- grams with the new center. Costing approximately $1 mil- lion, the 12,000-square-foot center will be located on the medical cen- ter campus.

Bolin said the center will com- bine the medical school and the pri- vate company efforts to give patients dialysis treatments more effectively and uniformly. Currently, NMC oper- ates dialysis at the Greenville Dialy- sis Center, while the ECU nephrology department gives dialysis to about 150 patients at the hospital. Dialysis is used on patients who have kidney problems or malfunctions. The pro- cedure removes waste products from the blood system. Another reason to build the fa- cility is that both the hospital and the Greenville Dialysis Center need more space to expand. The construction process for the new facility is now in the works. "My hope is it will be open be- fore the summer of '96 Bolin said. Life under ECU?

SGA investigation ends Footprints linked to SGA officer, no charges filed Stephanie Lassiter Editor-in-chief 3&&TOMMHMMBHHMi ???????????? This story is a follow-up to "SGA break-in under investigation, "which ran in last week's edition of TEC. ECU Police closed the investiga- tion of an alleged break-in of the Stu- dent Government Association (SGA) after finding no link to the use of mailing labels by downtown nightclub The Elbo Room. Footprints found on the ceiling of the SGA office were traced to SGA Vice President Dale Emery. "The Vice President was the one that entered that office said ECU Police Chief Teresa Crocker. "He just didn't have keys to that office and that was after the mailing had been mailed out Emery said he borrowed SGA President Ian Eastman's keys to Mendenhall on Friday, June 9, the day before orientation students received an invitation and guest tickets to the Elbo Room. Emery was preparing his speech to the orientation students and needed supplies from Eastman's of- fice. He climbed over the ceiling and through the tiled roof to gain access to some of Eastman's supplies includ- ing his tape recorder. "It was just bad judgement Emery said. Emery returned the keys to Eastman the following day. Crocker said no criminal intent was found and therefore the investi- gation was concluded. "Basically it's a misdemeanor that didn't occur in our presence Crocker said. No charges were pressed by SGA or by Assistant Vice Chancellor for University Unions Rudolph Alexander. "Everything dealing with any- thing criminal is over now Crocker said. Crocker said no evidence was found to support rumors that The Elbo Room paid for the labels and without evidence, there is no crime. "The entry of the office had noth- ing to do with the labels Crocker said. Police began a criminal investi- gation after orientation students re- ported receiving a mailing from The Elbo. Dean of Students Ronald Speier said that labels used on the mailings were similar to those ordered by SGA for mailings. Speier failed to comment on whether he'would continue his investigation. Alumnus serves at O. J. trial Shoe expert, FBI agent testifies against Simpson Toby Russ Staff Writer A little piece of ECU has crept into the OJ. Simpson trial. ECU alumnus William Bodziak, an FBI special agent, testified at the OJ. Simpson trial in Los Angeles on June 19. Bodziak earned a bachelor's de- gree in biology from ECU in the sum- , mer of 1968 and received his master's degree in forensic science from George Washington University in 1976. "I've been a special agent since 1973 and I conduct forensic compari- sons in the area of footwear and tire impressions Bodziak said. The Los Angeles Police Depart- ment (LAPD) requested Bodziak's as- sistance in the Simpson case because of his expertise in the field of foot- wear impressions. "In 1990, I published a book called Footwear Impression Evi- dence, so I'm fairly well known across the country in this field Bodziak said. He was contacted because the LAPD could not locate the make and size of a shoe found at one of the crime scenes. "I looked at sample molds and gathered information until I identified the shoe as a size 12 Bruno Magli, which is an expensive Italian shoe Bodziak said. The prosecution hoped to asso- ciate the shoe with O.J. Simpson. "We tried to link the shoe with him and haven't been successful in that attempt Bodziak said. Bodziak now resides in Arnold, Md. and works at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. He has not had a chance to return to campus since he left in 1968. "I've worked on some cases m and around Greenville that never made it to trial for one reason or an- other Bodziak said. "I'm anxious to get down there to see how the cam- pus has changed but I just haven't had the chance Bodziak is from Washington D.C. and transferred to ECU from James Madison University after his freshman year. He was a varsity cheerleader, a member of the karate club and a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha frater- nity. "The fraternity helped me a lot socially because I was fairly shy and quiet when I got to ECU Bodziak said.

GSAC will he made up of gradu- ate students from each of the various graduate programs. According to a preliminary version of die GSAC con- stitution, the council will make deci- sions regarding the appropriation of Hinds to eligible graduate student groups at ECU. Once establ shed, GSAC will give graduate students a greater voice in their own affairs, SGA President Ian Eastman said. Eastman said the final version of the GSAC constitution is now being decided on. and may be established within the next week. Angie Nix. SGA treasurer, is v irk- ing on a project to give a greater vi 'ice to the student constituency.

A picture which ran in last we k s edition of TEC showed the emergency phone located between Mendenhall Student Center and Joyner Library as being outof-or- der when it was not. it was in operation as of Wednesday last week said Mitch Johnson, an electronic technician for the department of telecommu nications serv ces. Construction work next to the library caused the phone to go out- of-order They're (construction work- ers) putting in a new sewer line and it chewed the phonel line up in like five places Johnson said. "These blue lights go out of operation for all sorts ot reasons and we usually drop what we're doing to repair them He and a co- worker fixed the phone last Wednesday and notified ECU po- lice that it was op- erational. "1 told them (ECU police) this phone is in op- eration, you need to take the sign off Johnson said. Five days later, the sign re- mained on the phone. Police Dispatcher Kimherlv Peed said someone was sent to take the sign down last week. 'The day he called. 1 sent some- one to take it down Peed said.

L Wednesday, June 28, 1995 The East Carolinian 4 Our View The New College American Dictionary defines evalu- ate as "to examine and judge; appraise The true defini- tion of evaluation has lost its meaning in the summer school vocabulary. As we continue our education at this institution of higher learning, it is the university's duty to treat summer school students just as they would in any other term. The upper echelon at ECU have already alienated summer school students enough. First it was the pay- roll change, in which someone forgot to notify the stu- dents that they would be receiving their paychecks at a later date. Then there's the food situation on campus. Students living in the dorms have to "pack a lunch" to survive the long hike to Todd Dining Hall. And now we are not even given the opportunity to evaluate the pro- fessors with whom we've spent five long weeks. We are not attending summer school just to pass the time away. We are here to help ourselves in different ways, whether our intentions are graduating on time, raising our grades or picking up a class we were unable to get during another term. The university obviously feels that the summer school students are here out of academic obligation; and in some cases that might be true, but our money is the same color as that of the regular session students. The powers that be at this university are treating summer school students like second class citizens compared to our fall and spring term counterparts. A professor's ability to help their students learn is tested greatly in summer school classes, since they have to "cram" a whole semesters work into just five short weeks, yet we are never given the chance to give feed- back on their performance. The quality of academic instruction at this univer- sity can greatly be examined in a summer school class. The tasks placed on the instructors are just as difficult as our task of learning in these abbreviated terms. Their job is to challenge us in the classroom and to evaluate our performance, and we should be given the same op- portunity of evaluation. Remember the hospitality we received as orientation students? Funny how quickly that fades. Summer school students are getting gypped again. Remember teacher evaluation forms? Well, chances are about 100 percent that you didn't see one in your summer school course, did you? College: is it worth the price? Everyday as I walk to my car af- ter class to go home I see a campus full of parents ar i in-coming fresh- men at orientation. Every year I am amazed at how hard the ECU admin- istrators try to impress parents and freshmen around this time of year. These newly high school gradu- ates are wined, dined and pampeied to the utmost Little do they know that all of this will change in August when the Fall semester begins. It will truly be a rude awakening for them. At ori- entation they are shown all the pros of the university and never the cons. Trust me, this will be a surprise for them in August First let me mention something about the parking situation. The par- ents and in-coming freshmen are never told about the huge parking problem here. They are only told the prices of freshmen parking stickers and that's it An ECU administrator will not dare tell them that even if they purchase a sticker there is no guar- antee they will have a place to park. Neither will they be told that admin- istrators' cars will not be towed, only Angela McCullers Opinion Columnist After all the money we have put into this university we have to pay so we can graduate the students' cars. If parents and in- coming students were informed about these things, I doubt they would be willing to dash out nearly one hun- dred bucks for a sticker. Next is the rise in tuition and fees every year. Just like clockwork, the cost of an education at ECU increases annually by a hundred dollars or more. Now the cost to graduate has gone up too. Yes, in case you did not know, it costs to leave this place. After all the money we have put into this uni- versity we have to pay so we can graduate. Not only that, but the cost to stay in the dorms has gone up too. It is cheaper to stay off campus. Administrators try their hardest to convince the parents that ECU is the place to send their kids for a col- lege education. This may be true, but can the administrators justify the rais- ing cost of tuition and fees? I do not think so. What about the million dollar recreation center that is being built? I personally feel that it is a waste of money Why is it that a million dollar recreation center can be built while the physical therapy department is located in a trailer at Allied Health? Why not use a million (or less) and expand the Allied Health and Science Building? I often wonder if the administra- tors here are more concerned with sports and publicity than they are with the quality of education offered here? After all, this is an institution of higher learning, but it is not always treated as such. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: It boggles my mind that some- one or something can be so corrupt yet so nonchalant about their treat- ment of a given situation. Now it seems that I have encountered some- thing which affects me directly as well as bothers me to no end. As you might have guessed, I am speaking about the inane way payroll has handled the students' paychecks. Apparently, someone, who obviously lives blindfolded in a cave, decided that our checks just weren't that important. I realize the problems of switching over to a new system are numerous, but I would think that it would be up to the staff to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. But I guess no one thought of that. Instead, we are left to deal with a severe shortage of cash which some of us live on. Luck ly I was able to find alter- native funds to pay for summer school. I realize I am a student, but I rely on that money to support my- self and my wife. It appears that the bureaucrats believe that since we are just students that we can always get money from mommy and daddy. Well, that's just not so. We are part of this campus, although I guess some people don't see us a very important part. After all, when I checked with employees on salary (who were switched to bi-monthly paychecks) they said they encoun- tered no problems with the transi- tion. I suppose we are just lower on the food chain and easier to over- look. Joshua Dowd Senior Communication Arts The East Carolinian Stephanie Lassiter.

Hey people, get some manners I have said before and I will say- again, that I believe that (most) people are essentially good. However, there are a few of you good people out there who are incredibly inconsiderate. I have to believe that this inconsider- ation occurs because you don't know any better and not because you just get off on annoying people, because it's the only thing that keeps me from knocking you over the head with a frozen chicken when you get in front of me in the Ten-Itemsor-Less Lane at the grocery store with a full gro- cery cart or ramming your car at the turn light when you sit there until there is only enough time for you to turn before it turns red again! If I sound bitter it is only because I am. This weekend alone I have had a door shut on me, I have been held- up unnecessarily in traffic several times. I've had salespeople be rude to me for no reason other than I hap- pened to catch them in a bad mood, and I have been kept awake for two nights by my neighbor's blaring ste- reo. Now, don't think I'm paranoid, because I don't believe all of this was meant specifically for me. On the con- trary, what drives me crazy is that it was just pure thoughtlessness, just a bunch of people who can't see past themselves long enough to realize 5MMMMMMM Andi Powell Phillips Opinion Writer The biggest problem with inconsideration is that it breeds more inconsideration that someone trying to sleep at one am probably doesn't want to hear Motley Crue at 10 decibels! (Not that I'd ever want to hear Motley Crue at 10 decibels or 5 or even 2) Or take the woman at the mall who let the door shut on me, I had my hands full and I was trying to get a good grip on my packages before I pushed open the door I was standing in front of. This woman comes up behind me and, rather than choosing one of the six other doors, goes for the one I'm standing at. I think, "Great, she's go- ing to get the door for me But no. She breezes right by, gives the door a hard shove and keeps right on going, so of course the door swings back on me before I can maneuver myself out of the way. I know, it's ridiculous for me to dwell on these petty little things, but I can't help it. Every time I think about it I just want to find that woman and bang her head in that door until I'm sure she'll never forget to opendoor for anyone again. The biggest problem with incon- sideration is that it breeds more in- consideration, and sometimes just outright hostility. Say you've been trying to make a right-hand turn into traffic for fifteen minutes but no-one will let you in, when you finally do manage to make that turn are you likely to let the next person in? You would think so, you would think you'd empathize and wave them ahead of you, but often people tend to take revenge on the next guy instead. So, next time you're in the drive- thru line at the bank, have your de- posit slip already made out so you don't keep everyone else waiting or someone (like me) might just snap and stuff your head into that snazzy little air chute along with your $12.53 deposit Okay, so you can call me petty and vindictive, but I would never let a door shut on you if you had your hands full of packages at the mall. So much for an long weekend July 4th, our nations birthday, and for most people a long weekend of cookouts, fireworks and other out- door fun. I, like the rest of the stu- dents enduring the rigors of a fulltime schedule through both summer ses- sions, was looking forward to this long weekend. I was planning on a nice three or four days of school-free, un- inhibited relaxation. NOT For some insane reason East Carolina University does not give its students the Monday before the Fourth off like most Americans have. We the students of this university cannot plan on a long weekend of re- laxation to spend with our friends and relatives celebrating our nations birth- day. Instead, we have the usual week- end amidst the hellacious courseioad of summer school. It is not bad enough that some of us have to cram a full semester's worth of work into 10 weeks. How- ever, the school was gracious enough to grant us one day off in the middle of the week to unwind after the first summer session. Oh - that is enough! Now, while most of our friends and ii i iiiininiii"ga?aga?wn?a????? J.D. Heath Opinion Columnist We cannot plan on a long weekend of relaxation to spend with our friends and relatives our families are taking it easy this Fourth of July weekend, us students will have to forfeit the festivities or only take in the first half before we are forced to return to school on Mon- day. That is right - forced. We all are familiar with the words, "you cannot miss one day of summer school. If you do it is like missing one weeks worth of material during a regular semes- ter And to turn the blade which is already gouged in my gut, I have a test on that Monday. I will be forced to forfeit the entire weekend activi- ties. Yes, I will be studying this holi- day weekend. Someone please explain to me why it is so hard to give us that day off and just tack it on the end of the session. How hard is it to grant us a four day weekend to unwind and mingle with our friends and family? How hard is it to give us a four day weekend in the middle of a time con- suming, study intense work load? How hard is it to bless our tired brains with four days of rest and recuperation before we return for the last three weeks of a difficult and often trying time that is summer school? The school calendar cannot be cast in stone, and I. like the rest of the stu- dents, would be eager and happy to bend any rules which might be bro- ken while granting us the Monday be- fore the Fourth of July off. Somebody in this schools administration has the power to grant us this wish. Let's just hope he or she is reading this, and also would like to have that day off. ATTENTION LETTER-WRITERS!

Wednesday, June 28, 1995 The East Carolinian I ICE Bucket "l Drop hi the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great screaming bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor As I write this, an evil Smurf whispers to me from atop my word processor. No, this isn't an experimental column written under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs. He's really there. He's red all over, with tiny horns and black bat-wings protrud- ing from his shoulder blades. My evil Satan Smurf is a toy, of course, just a memento of a more innocent period of my life. But he's still important to me. He defines something about who 1 am. When 1 was younger and had this strange obsession with labeling things, he had a little sign at his feet that said "Muse I was told that it was eerily appropriate. I learned a lot from the objects of my childhood. Take comic books, for example. Behind the gaudy, ste- roid-imbalanced fisticuffs of all the super hero stories I read was an un- derlying message about justice. When I was a kid, 1 would be- come furious when watching sitcom episodes where the hero was accused of something he didn't do. I espe- cially hated the "Mr. Snuffalupagous" situation on Sesame Street. Sometimes I would even shout at the screen. The whole thing was offensive to my sense of justice as shaped by a bunch of guys in spandex. Even today, corny as it may be, I believe in truth, justice and the American Way (that is, hard-headed individuality). I realize that those things are in short supply, and al- ways have been, but still I persist Now, maybe I'm making a rather obvious point We're all shaped by our childhoods in one way or an- other. But my generation in particu- lar seems to have been shaped by the media more than its parents. I mean, my parents never gave me any lectures on justice and indi- viduality, but Spider-Man certainly did. Who knows what strange world views people may have picked up from Scooby Doo or Fat Albert or, God forbid, He-Man? And what about Star Wars? As near as I can tell, these films are a nearly universal experience for my generation. We couldn't have asked for a more clearly defined good vs. evil story. Elsewhere on this page is a dis- cussion of the new rise in popular- ity of Star Wars material. Certainly, most of this stuff is the first wave of a media blitz hyping the release of the new Wars film in 1998. I'm sure that by the time that movie rolls around, we'll all be sick to death of hearing about it But I'm still glad it's coming. Recent years haven't brought much in the way of good justice mov- ies. Somewhere along the line, the good guys started acting like the bad guys. Action movie heroes tend to kill pretty indisciminately these days. Or was I the only one who noticed that the violence in Die Hard 3 was not only more frequent but also much more callous than the violence in Pulp Fiction? But a new Star Wars film should bring us some heroes who are truly noble, heroes with a sense of justice. I'm looking forward to that It's been said that my genera- tion refuses to grow up. I think maybe it's more that we can't let go of our childhood. We were spoon- fed certain attitudes and beliefs from television and movies that stuck with us because there was nothing to re- place them. TV might make a good baby sitter, but it sucks as a parent Blues prodigy plays the Attic Brandon Waddell Assistant Lifestyle Editor At the impressionable age of 15, adolescents spend their days in school and their nights dreaming about get- ting their driver's license. The more rebellious teens are anticipating their first venture into bars and clubs. Derek Trucks is the exception, in several more ways than one. He can't wait to get out of the bars and clubs. He's the only person in the bars who's not even old enough to drink. Trucks has no bias against bars, but by the time he's old enough to drink, he hopes to be playing arenas and con- cert halls. As high as his goals are in music, the fact remains that he is just 15 years old. Few 15 year olds get to play to hundreds of people, and Trucks still becomes nervous during perfor- mances. "1 try not to think about it much, I just concentrate on what I have to do Trucks told TEC in a re- cent phone interview. Trucks is headlining the Attic Friday night for his first trip to Greenville. Throughout his many years managing the Attic, Joe Tronto has seen a lot of bands come and go, so billing The Derek Trucks Band as a headliner seems like an strange move. It's more like a calculated risk. Joe hasn't even seen this band play live; yet he billed them for their first trip to Greenville. "His Derek Trucks reputation precedes him. This kid is incredible and I'm looking forward to the show Tronto told TEC. On a whim.Trucks first picked up a guitar at a garage sale at age nine. A few days later, the child had learned all that his father knew to teach. Af- ter a few guitar lessons from a family friend, Derek V2S on his way. Trucks' style of playing is much different than what the other kids at school enjoy. He's a 15-year-old scorch- ing slide guitarist who has a feel for the blues far beyond his young age. Perhaps this is due to his genetic musical influences. The Allman Broth- ers are Derek's primary musical influ- ence because the band's drummer. Butch Trucks, is Derek's uncle. Since Derek has come of age in his profession, he has been compared to many guitarists. Some people say he plucks like Clapton. But most fans and musicians alike compare the blues prodigy to late Allman Brothers gui- tarist Duane Alhnan. "Lately I've been trying to get away from comparisons to him Duane Allman stated Trucks.

Despite the effort put into making a review objective, the writer cannot help but bring his own private set of experiences to a film which unknowingly alter his review. I can say up front that an objective appraisal of The Bridges of Madison County will be impossible. I cannot sepa- rate myself from the film because it touched me deeply, leaving impressions that will remain with me until my dying The force is with Lucas Dale Williamson Staff Writer Illustration Courtesy of Dark Horse Comics This comic book, an adaptation of the original Star Wars film, is but one of the many pieces of Star Wars merchandise that currently floods the market in preparation for the new film. An obvious reason could be the fact that Lucas is planning to begin filming a new trilogy very soon and wants to ignite renewed interest in his baby. ECU graduate student and life-long StarWars fan Jay Myers concurs. "He's a market- ing genius Myers stresses. "Lucas has a finger in every pie If Lucas is masterminding the StarWars marketing, then he seems to have two major motifs up his magician's sleeve: to recapture his original audience (the first SW generation) and to catch the eyes of a new generation of fans, namely the first generation's children. Eddie Sutton, manager of Greenville comic book shop Heroes Are Here Too, points out that the first gen- eration of fans are now grown up and making money, placing them in a con. A long time ago in a theater far, far away I watched StarWars for the first time and was given my first taste of an American classic. George Lucas' vision- ary film broke box-office records, rede- fined the movie industry and impacted on an entire generation of children. It has now been 18 years since the origi- nal release of StarWars and 12 years since Return of the Jedi. the third and final film in the series, made its theatri- cal debut but the last few years have witnessed a rebirth of Lucas' phenom- ena. Like a dream come true, StarWars merchandise has returned with a ven- geance. Why? i sumer position where they can demand StarWars merchandise. Apparently the comics world has seen a large demand since Dark Horse Comics released its mini-series Dark Empire. Along with such comics titles as Classic Star Wars, Droids, and Tales of the Jedi, fans can purchase widescreen trading cards of the first SH-Tilm. Com- ing next month are widescreen trading cards of Empire Strikes Back. These products, according to Sutton, sell very well for consumers 16 years old and up, which may seem strange "because 16- year-olds were young even when Jedi came out What may seem stranger is how the SWNsarketing campaign is aimed even at a much younger audience, an audience that wasn't even born when the last film was released. If you walk into a book store, you won't just find SW titles aimed at an adult audience; you will also find such goodies as read- along story books complete with audio cassette and a new series written strictly for children entitled Young Jedi Knights. The result young kids running into stores with their parents scream- ing in excitement about the latest StarWars product But what is a StarWars marketing blitz without the toys? A quick browse through most any toy store will reveal treasures like SHmodels, bendy action figures, kites and the very popular Mi- cro-Machines action playsets (which appeal even to the older first genera- tion of fans). While it has been mostly hush-hush on what else is planned for SWtoys. word has leaked out that ac- tion figures from the first trilogy will be redone and reissued. As a matter of fact hush-hush has been the general consensus surround- ing the next trilogy altogether. Fans gossip about what they've read in the latest sci-fi magazine, but no one really knows for sure, not even Darth Vader himself. David Prowse, the burly actor who played Vader on-screen (over the voice of James Earl Jones), spoke to TEC while signing autographs in a small video store in Wilson. Prowse said that he heard Mark Hammill (you know, Luke Skywalker) might play Anakin Skywalker (you know, Luke's father) in the next trilogy. But even the dark lord himself had to admit that this was just a rumor. So, what is it about StarWars? Why all the fuss over a movie that's as old as ECU's incoming freshmen? Maybe this See WARS page 5 day. If you look for a number rating at the bottom of this review, you will be disappointed. Though I could find fault with the picture, I prefer not to. Giving a number rating would cheapen the film for me, thus 1 decided not to give it a rating. At the risk of sounding like a bas- ket case, let me say that I cried during and after The Bridges of Madison County. The intense romance between Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood) and Francesca Johnson (Meryl Streep) af- fected me in ways I may never under- stand. The film takes place in Iowa where Robert has come to shoot a photo spread for National Geogmphic on covered bridges. Upon arriving in the county he gets lost and asks for directions from Francesca Johnson, a farm wife whose family had left for the Illinois state fair. And so begins one of the greatest romances ever to grace the silver screen. Adapted from the book by Robert James Waller (a book I found shamefully ma- nipulative and poorly written), this film marks yet another stellar achievement in the career of Clint Eastwood. I really thought Eastwood hit his zenith with the 1993 Oscar winner Unforgiven and that he would not real- ize such greatness again. Yet in his next directorial effort he has created a film so different from Unforgiven that one would hardly be- lieve they have the same director. This film cap- tures not only ro- mance but the ideas of lost dreams and the daily details that whittle away a life. Eastwood The Bridges of Madison County captures not only the romance but the ideas of lost dreams worked with screenwriter Richard LaGravenese to rum a lackluster book into a work of art LaGravenese opted to do away with most of Kincaid's philosophizing but Eastwood fought to put a small amount back in like when Robert tells Francesca that "the old dreams were good dreams; they didn't work out but I'm glad I had them The script (unlike the book) makes Rob- ert a three-dimensional character. Eastwood's acting perfectly comple- ments the changes to the script He gives a restrained performance that captures the soul of a lonely man. Near the end See MADISON page 5 CD. Reviews Stairways to Heaven Various Kris Hoffler Staff Writer The Stairways to Heaven CD is nothing if not bizarre. Just about every- one below the age of 50 knows who Led Zeppelin is, and the majority of them know the classic tune "Stairway to Heaven Deemed by many to be the es- sential classic rock song, this anthem of rock 'n roll has been played enough times to make even the most hearty Zeppelin fan change the station. I, personally, wouldn't miss the song if it was banned for the next hundred years. The project to collect different ver- sions of this classic song was begun by Chris Harriott in 1989. Harriott claims it was an attempt to capture "every facet of the greatest song ever written. We were trying to look at the same song 20 dif- ferent ways at once. It was, if you will, musical Cubism True as that may be, it is nearly impossible to listen to this disc more than once. My biggest fear is that this was not meant to be taken as a nov- elty CD. A surprising number of artists of incredible variation responded to the call for songs on Stairways. Let's just list a few: Yoko Ono, Vanilla Ice, Andrew Ridgley (of Wham!), The Pogues, Prince, Weird Al Yanlovic, Peter Gabriel, and Cher. Then there is the list of unknowns. First we have the high-art approach. There is a jazzlounge version that sounds a lot like the Manhattan Trans- fer, or a very bad version of them. Then there is the operatic version, which is not all that bad, but still a bit silly. And last on the high-art tip is a dramatic read- ing of the song without any music; it makes a good poem with its steady rhythm and rhyme. The song is also done in the styles of many Zeppelin's contemporaries in classic rock. There are two different Beatles versions; one in the later Sgt Pepper style and one in the earlier, clean- cut style of "Love Me Do Then there is the Doors version. It's done in the most over-dramatic Morrison style possible. It's an epic cover in the tradition of "The End The two pop-techno-dance covers are not worth mentioning, and the reggae version is exactly what you would expect There is also a numbing Elvis version. Probably the best cover on the disc is a version in the style of the B-52's "Rock Lobster which is extremely funny. The only thing that this album proves is that no matter how many ways you look at it the song remains the same. What 1 mean is it may make you want to run over the hills and far away, but it just makes me wonder why someone would spend any amount of time in com- piling a collection like this.

She gives Francesca depth and complexity that carry the film from be- ginning to end. Even in the scenes not involving Francesca, her presence can be felt Most of that credit belongs to Streep. But the acting alone does not be- gin to account for the power of the film.

The question I have asked repeatedly is, did Francesca make the right choice? I have yet to come to a com- pletely satisfactory answer. Perhaps there isn't one.

In 1997, he will re-release the original StarlVars (with added special effects) in theaters, and then he plans to dedi- cate three-straight years towards the next trilogy, having the last film come out in the year 2000.

Everyone knew that Michael Jordan was coming back to Greenville to participate in his ce- lebrity golf tournament, but who knew he would bring his good buddy Charles along with him? That's just what happened on Sunday at Brook Valley Country Club, as Phoenix Suns superstar Charles Barkley made a special ap- pearance at the 11th Annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Classic. "I found out Friday night that Charles was coming, and it was the hardest secret I have ever had to keep said Tournament Director Pam Crocker. This year's tournament was a great success, and was very compa- rable to the last time Jordan ap- peared in Greenville back in 1993. Jordan missed the 1994 tournament due to the fact that he was playing minor league baseball tor the Bir- mingham Barons. Jordan said he was glad to be ba"k in the Emerald City. "I have been doing this tourna- ment for over 11 years now, and I have seen the benefits of the tour- nament he said. "People have been very supportive. It has been a lot of fun and it's an easy decision for me to be apart of it The weekend was a full of many events which included a concert by country music star Neil McCoy, and an auction on Saturday night that raised over $44,000. All the pro- ceeds went to the Ronald McDonald House. The auction included a Michael Jordan autographed baseball, a 45 Chicago Bulls Jersey autographed by Jordan, and two Bulls tickets, a din- ner with Jordan and a flight courtesy of USAir to Chicago. In golf action on Sunday, former Cleveland Cavalier Austin Carr team took home the title with a 13 under par score of 59, after a four way putt- off that included former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Eric Martin's team, a team sponsored by Phil Carey, who plays Asa Buchanan on the hit soap opera "One Life to Live and a team co-sponsored by former New Jersey Net and Atlanta Hawk Dudley Bradley and Josh Savino who played Paul Pfeiffer on Wonder Years. Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley's team scored a 15 under-par 57, but was unable to compete for the title since it had seven members. Ryan Wickline Staff Writer When Michael Jordan returned to Greenville last Sunday for the 11th Annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Classic, crowds of people were anx- ious to see him. Despite a surprise appearance by Charles Barkley, every- one was still crazed to see Jordan. It was not only a thrill to see him, but it was a great experience to have him sit down and talk. So when "MJ" sat down to speak, everyone had both ears open to what he had to say. Jor- dan, possibly the best player in the history of basketball, answered ques- tions ranging from the possibility of an NBA strike to his feelings of work- ing with Bugs Bunny in an upcoming movie. "I don't think there is going to be a strike Jordan said. "As you can see the league is willing to make a deal. The players just do not feel that the deal they were making is appro- priate and the players want to have a little more say and understanding about what's been put on the table Jordan also spoke on the business of retirement. "Those decisions just come to you. You can't predetermine those things. You just go with the way you feel. So I'm not going to put a time limit on when I decide to retire. I like to win, and if my desire to play the game is still strong, I'm going to play Jordan recently announced that he will be starring in a movie with the popular animated character Bugs Bunny, who he has done commercials Photo by BRIAN PAIZ Michael Jordan's press conference last Sunday at Brook Valley Country Club attracted many adoring fans. with in the past few years. "I know Bugs, and I don't think that he is going to be as tough as the curve ball so I think we'll hit it off pretty good Jordan said. "The best thing about the picture is that I am acting as myself, the tough thing is doing the animation Finally Michael Jordan spoke about the reason everyone was there, he talked about the tournament and its benefits. "I've been doing this for 11 years now and I've seen some most of the benefits and the people have been very supportive of this tournament. It's been a lot of fun and that's a miracle in itself. It's easy to be a part of it when I see those things.

Don't hold your breath to see Armstrong take the court for the Raptors, as numerous teams have called about acquiring the guard, who earned three championship rings with the Bulls. However, his experience could help the expansion squad gel as a team, so B.J. could stick if Thomas doesn't get what he wants in trade return.

The Sporting Xews has recog- nized junior quarterback Marcus Crandell, and senior linebacker Mark Libiano in their pre-season polls. Crandell is rated the 12th best quar- terback in the nation, behind Notre Dame's Ron Powlus, and Duke's Spence Fisher. Florida State's Danny Kannell is their pick as the top quar- terback in the nation. The 6-foot, 198 pound Crandell ranked eighth in the NCAA in total offense last season at 253 yards per game. Crandell ended the season with 2,687 yards and 21 touchdowns and needs 2,193 yards to break former Pirate and current Bengals QB Jeff Blake's school record. Libiano, who has led ECU in tackles the past two seasons, has been rated che 12th best inside line- backer by The Sporting News. The 6-foot-3-inch, 235 pound Easton. Pa. native had 135 tackles last season for the Pirates. Ray Lewis of the Univer- sity of Miami was listed as the top inside linebacker in the nation. In other football news, the Sep- tember 23rd game between ECU and Illinois appears to be on ESPN's schedule of games this season. The kickoff is set for a 12:30 p.m. East- ern time. Tom Howley, ECU's assistant di- rector of strength and conditioning has left Greenville to become the head strength and conditioning coach at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.

Photo by BRIAN PAIZ CINCINNATI (AP) - Bengals president Mike Brown says he will take steps that could lead to a move from the city if officials fail to reach agreement by Thursday on a new football stadium. If Cincinnati and Hamilton County cannot agree by then, Brown said he will begin negotiating exclusively with a group trying to at- tract an NFL team to Baltimore. "It is not for me to mediate the dispute between the city and county Brown said. "But time is pressing on us. We don't have the luxury of getting into some kind of intramural scrimmage that could stop us from getting a deal City Manager John Shirey and Hamilton County Administrator David Krings met during the week- end to discuss ways the city and tounty can settle their differences. Last Thursday, the county pro- posed a sales tax increase coupled with a property tax rollback to fi- nance a $540 million project to build stadiums for the Bengals and baseball's Reds by 2000. The deal requires the city to send much of the new stadiums' revenue back to the county. Today, a group that proposed a privately fi- n a n c e d domed sta- dium ? which Brown re- jected on June 20 - re- vised the pro- posal to in- clude a retractable roof. Stephen Korb. spokesman for City Plaza CBD Development Inc also said his group would offer the Bengals a 20-year lease that would allow the team to receive all football revenues and pay no rent. Citv Councilman Tyrone Yates "It is not for me to mediate the dipute between the city and county ? Mike Brown Bengals president said Brown and the county should not try to dictate the terms of a deal. "The county's proposal and Brown's ultimatum is a shotgun marriage this council will not agree to. I don't believe we will flinch, nor budge, nor blink Yates said. Councilman Todd Portune said he thought Brown's deadline could be met, although some details of the plan need to be resolved. 'Hamilton County can solve all of this by raising the sales tax and asking nothing from the city, espe- cially for money that goes into our general fund to pay basic services he said. John A. Moag. chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority, said Saturday he did not think the Bengals would decide to move to Baltimore, despite Brown's ultima- tum. "I am absolutely convinced that he (Brown) is committed to his hometown and very badly wants to stay there Moag said by phone from his Baltimore home. 1 .

V PLAYERS CLUB APARTMENTS sounds like a marketing ploy to me Dennis Rodman is in the news again. A former Atlanta Hawks' cheerleader said the colorful Spurs' star gave her herpes while he still played for the Detroit Pistons. In court, Lisa Judd gave testimony that she and Rodman saw each other while he was married, culminating with the herpes encounter in Janu- ary of 1993. The prosecution said that Rodman gav the disease to two other women about two weeks ear- lier. Rodman's lawyer told the jury that there is no evidence that he has ever had a transmittable form of the disease. It shouldn't matter. If some- one screws around - unprotected, of course, with a married partner of Rodman's reputation, they shouldn't get a little crabby (pardon the pun) if it comes back to haunt them. Rodman's lawyer, Taylor Daly, told the court that Judd. who became pregnant three times between the ages of 17 and 20, "should have un- derstood the risks of unprotected sexual activity Speaking of the Pistons, the Motor City front office has traded their No. 8 pick to the Portland Trail- blazers for the Blazers' two first- round picks (18 and 19), as well as the Blazers' only second-round choice at 58. Portland is in bad need of getting a good, young player on an otherwise-elderly roster, while new Detroit coach Doug Collins will further his team's development by landing additional high-draft selec- tions to play with Grant Hill. Let's just hope the Blazers, who are try- ing to move up further to land high school star Kevin Garnett, don't; bomb with their first lottery pick since they took Sam Bowie instead of a young shooter named Jordan iNOSTALGIA NEWSTANC 919 Dickinson Ave. Greenville, NC 27834 (919)758-6909 FOR RENT l BIDKOOM Apartment with appliances, furniture, water included. central air $265 Across from campus, spacious floor plan with appliances, hot water, heat included $475 2 bedroom, all appliances, include water, sewer, basic cable. 5 blocks from campus Summer - S350 Fall - $375 tmriim1 3 BEDROOM 1 Bath Duplex 5 blocks to campus appliances, S475 MOORE REALTY 2609 E.
