SGA rallies for published evaluations Students question validity of teacher evaluation forms Wendy Rountree Assistant News Editor Getting teacher evaluations pub- lished to students is the main goal of the Student Government Association. (SGA). in the coming year. "This is the main project for my administration this vear said Ian Eastman, SGA president. "I think the students have a right to know how these instructors are performing Eastman said the current evalua- tion system does not address concerns that students have about professors. A number of students hold the same view. "I've never really filled out those evaluation sheets because I thought that it didn't make a difference said Sam Stewart, a junior math major. Other students said the evalua- tions were not administered to students correctlv. because the teachers I've had don't do it correctly said Brooke Smith, a, sophomore, physical education exer- cise and sports science major. "They are supposed to leave the room, so you can be honest about it. then get some- body else to take the sheets to the of- fice. My teachers have always just stood there. No student is going to be hon- est about them if they are afraid that the teacher is going to read what they wrote Dr. Robert Thompson, director of planning and institutional research, who used to be the chairman of the political science department, said evalu- ations are a major factor in determin- ing faculty raises, tenure and promo- tion. "When faculty is evaluated for merit pay raises, when they are evalu- ated for tenure and promotion, the stu- dent opinion surveys are a factor Th- ompson said. "They are one of the major pieces of information about as- sessing teaching.

"Most of our troubles are from a lack of accessibility to rooms said Todd Zumbach. an employee with Henkels and McCoy. "Some lines will work with the old phones, some de- partments will get new sets ECU employees have had some difficulty working with the new system since its installation two weeks ago. "Our telephone system is not ex- actly what we thought it would be said Rose Mary Stelma. director of the financial aid office. "We've been strug- gling with the new phone system Stelma said the previous relay sys- tem, which would hold incoming calls until someone was available, disap- peared with the new system. So the office has been improvising, but "we do have more lines now Stelma said. "We have three or four lines coming in on 6610, which means more people can get in. but they have to hold longer Stelma also said she felt telecom- munications workers are doing a great job in implementing the new system, but believes the process will take time. "I'd say we're a good 12 months away from our ideal phone system Campus employees have spent the past two weeks adjusting to the new system. "Once I leam how to use it, it will probably be a lot better Gladson said. See PHONE page 2 tions are not the only factor that char- acterize a good instructor. "Student evaluations do not re- port how teachers are performing said Hawk. "They report student per- ceptions of how teachers are perform- ing Hawk said the other factors that faculty members are assessed on are their research, publications, service to the community, service to public schools, participation on committees on campus, their participation in na- tional organizations, grant writing, money they bring in and advising. "All is weighed in, in truth, how it is perceived that they are teaching, not Photo by KEN CLARK A desk full of phones has become a common sight around campus and will be until the new system is complete. just by students, but by other faculty members, peer review, and by their department chair Hawks said. "So, you see, the student opinion is one part of a myriad of things used to evaluate a faculty member Thompson said that the planning and institutional office deals with the evaluations on a minimal basis. "This office is responsible tor pre- paring and sending out the forms to the departments for distribution to the students Thompson said. "Then for collecting those forms back to have them scanned and the results printed. Then sending the results back to the academic unit Any additional forms filled out by students are usually sent directly from their departments, not from the uni- versity. However, since he used to be the chairperson for political science depart- ment. Thompson said he knows how the evaluations are used. Eastman said the main step will be Retting the faculty senate to agree to publishing the evaluations, and plans are being made to place 28 SGA representatives on the faculty senate.

Red Cross seeks blood donors Students asked to donate during summer months u Joann Reed Staff Writer The American Red Cross wants your blood. The American Red Cross is ;ponsoring a blood drive at ECU's Baptist Student Center this Thurs- day, July 6th. They have set a goal to collect at least 100 units of blood, and ask that the campus community please donate blood to support their efforts. Helen Monroe, manager of do- nor resources, said that due to col- lection shortages during the sum- mer months, the Red Cross depends on ECU's campus community for first time and return donors. "Hospitals need blood year around Monroe said. "Blood only has a shelf life of 42 days, so the process of finding donors is con- tinuous Monroe said this is the first time the Red Cross has attempted a blood drive at ECU during the summer. "We estimate that there are about 2.000 people on campus dur- ing the summer months Monroe said. "It is important that we ap- peal to these potential donors to help with blood shortages. "Holidays always produce a greater need for blood due to acci- dents and people who choose to have surgery while they have time off from their jobs Monroe said. The ECU com- munity is one of the largest donors in the region, aver- aging about 1,700 units per nine month period, and each unit of blood donated helps an average of three people, Monroe said. Volunteers are also needed to work the blood drives. "We need vol- unteers to help with refreshments, walking donors to canteen area, and some just to greet people and assist donors with sign-in proce Monroe said. The Mid-Atlantic collection re- gion, which includes eastern North Carolina and south-eastern Vir- ginia, needs at least 600 units of blood a day to provide enough blood for its 52 hospitals. "A healthy potential donor can give blood every 56 days for at least six times a year Monroe said. The Red Cross has an urgent need for donors that have O-posi- tive. O-negative and B-positive blood types. "Giving blood is the most self- less thing a person can do. The idure; need for blood never goes away Monroe said. "In fact, every three seconds someone needs blood That is why it is ex- tremely impor- tant that people give blood on a regular basis. Only then will the Red Cross be able to pro- vide blood when and where it is needed The blood drive will be held at the Baptist Stu- dent Center. 511 East loth St. (beside Wendy's), from 11:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. MacDonalds will be support- ing the blood drive by offering cou- pons for free hamburgers. "ECU has always been very- supportive in our blood drive pro- grams Monroe said. "We hope that the campus community will continue to he helpful to our cause during the summer months as well To be an eligible donor, you should he in good health, at least 17 years of age or older and weigh at least 1 lo pounds.

"He was sentenced under the North Carolina Fair Sentencing Act because the crime took place be- fore October 1. 1994 The Fair Sentencing Act allows early parole for first-time offenders. The motive for the shooting re- mains a mystery to law enforcement officials. "No one has ever established any motive or connection between the two (Mattingly and Gobeski) Williams said. Mattingly himself does not know- why he shot Gobeski. "As he (Mattingly) left the court- room, several people asked him why he had pleaded guilty and he re- sponded that he did not recall the events of that evening Williams said. Program saves energy Joann Reed Staff Writer Cutting costs is the goal of a pro- gram ECU's department of facilities ser- vices and university housing have coor- dinated for more than two years. This Energy Conservation Program has al- ready saved the university thousands of dollars on utility costs and will continue to help decrease the rising cost of stu- dent fees. George Harrell. assistant vice chan- cellor of business affairs and head of fa- cility services estimated that the total annual utility bill for the university came close to S7 million this year. See SAVE page 3 from page 1 "The old phones would do crazy things a lot. You'd get a lot of busy signals before the phone would a lot of times ring you back a busy signal when trying to make a call One secretary in the admissions office agreed that the phones have caused some frustration, but said that was to be expected with any large con- version. The office has a list of prob- lems for the phone repairmen, who are currently working their way around campus. "We think eventually the new phone system is going to be great said Linda June-Fowler, an administra- tive secretary in Spilman. "There are so many different crews working on so many different facets things weren't wired the way they were supposed to have been She said the workers are doing a great job in working out the glitches. "One problem we have been ex- periencing is a lack of workable incom- ing lines that's caused some hard- ship on the parents who have tried to call June-Fowler said. She said some parents who tried to call last week got busy signals even when the phones were not in opera- tion. "Once all the kinks are worked out you shouldn't ever get a busy sig- nal June-Fowler said. 1 lenkels and McCoy were sub-con- tracted to install the Northern Telecom system, and 20 employees are now working their way across campus to check and repair phones. Two work- ers described the past week as crazy and long. Zumbach and his co-workers are busy checking each wire in the system to make sure they connect to the proper areas. This is done through the numer- ous mechanical rooms throughout cam- pus. If a line was connected to the wrong switch, the number called would ring to the wrong phone. Zumbach said any improper connections should be cleared up by the end of this week. Mendenhall has two mechanical rooms. Brewster has six. and several more are located throughout campus. "Every now and then a line will knock off and we'll have to come out and reset a card computer components which control phone lines Zumbach said. "There's nothing you can do about it it's just a glitch in the system Telecommunications Director Jim Crain was not available on Monday for comment but the office was open and taking down any complaints or repairs that needed to be made in the various offices.

Hawks said that students who have a com- plaint about a professor should write a formal let- ter to the chair- man of the de- partment and should not have any fear of reper- cussion. They should be able to trust their educa- tional system. The pro- posed SGA pub- lication would include the following rated topics for courses: overall amount learned, overall instructor rating, over- all course rating, course difficulty, out- side assignments, course organization and professor punctuality. Eastman said the SGA executive committee had discussed teacher evalu- ations before, but decided to take ac- tion after attending the Counsel of Student Government Associations at Texas A&M University last March. This was a meeting of all university SGA executive counsels in the nation. "We were sitting in a seminar about evaluations for the teachers and how to get them publicized � what the right steps are Eastman said.

"I would like to see this thing done by spring "96. but we have a long way to go Thompson said since the faculty senate will be issuing an experimental teacher evaluation form this fall and spring, any plans for publicizing them would definitely be out this year be- cause there would be no way to hon- estly judge the old and new evaluating numbers. Eastman said that it is just as important to have teacher evaluations during the summer as well as the fall and spring. Thompson said the faculty senate has only made rules to have evalua- tions during the fall and spring.

"If we can improve that total by only one percent that would save over $70,000 per year A large part of the utility bill is caused by campus housing. The cost of heating and electricity in the residence halls accounts for about $1.1 million of ECU's total utility cost per year. With these costs steadily rising, the university implemented a plan for a major energy savings program. The conservation program uses the approach of "energy efficiency by design Harrell said. The project achieves this by replacing outdated machinery all over campus. Updated equipment in the steam plant such as the new heat recovery sys- tems, help to lower not water and heat- ing costs. An ice-storage system was in- stalled in Todd Dining Hall that conserves energy during peak hours, and also R- cycles melting ice used in the air condi- tioning system. "If you can change high energy us- ing equipment to low usage, more effi- cient systems, you can gain savings with- out adversely effecting the user Harrell said. "We can also save the students money in room rent and student fees According to Harrell even simple improvements can help to control the high utility bill. "Even replacing old fluorescent light fixtures with more efficient elec- tronic ballasts T-8 bulbs helps to save money he said. The federal government appropri- ated ECU with a grant to match dollar for dollar the cost improving utility effi- ciency for campus. As a result the uni- versity received a check for nearly a quar- ter of a million dollars in reimbursement costs for these improvements.

Ahh, the firstfruits of new technology. As the long, drawn-out process of designing and installing of a new university-wide fiber optics system came to a close, dreams of a campus connected by a high-tech communications network turned to nightmares upon its activation last Monday. There were plenty of headaches to go around, one big one for the unlucky ECU employee whose office telephone, for a brief time period on Monday, rang as the destination for every phone call placed in ECU's "328" system. More for virtually every campus resident who could not (and 10 days later still cannot) receive incoming calls ranging from those about postgraduate employment to a simple "hello call" from dear old mom. It's even worse foi 'he ones who can't call out. They've had to resort to pay phones. It seems that the only people who had a quiet week were the employees at the ECU telephone repair office, for when calls were placed to their office, they rang somewhere else. Basically, the mid-session fiber optic activation (and accom- panying problems) is just another disadvatage that the ECU summer school student must put up with - including the daily "Purple Pirate Hike for Food from the campus dorms to Todd Dining Hall. Once Todd is in sight, however, hundreds of pint-sized mu- sicians, cheerleaders and Science camp participants flood the building, leaving, on some days, a 15-minute wait for the per- manent ECU student just to get a table. As the University administration scaled back campus activ- ity during the summer sessions for "convenience it's the ECU student that suffered. Like when all university offices, includ- ing those with the paychecks, closed at 11:30 a.m. on payday - after the university already unlawfully held the checks for a week anyways. Or each night as none of the campus dining locations remain open for the on-campus resident to get dinner after 6:30 at night - a major gaffe, especially when some classes don't get out until seven. Summer school students are basically at the mercy of the ECU administrators; guinea pigs forced to play along as the administration puts on a happy face for the incoming freshmen and various teenage groups on campus while simutaneously restricting the activities of their permanent students. Where there should be a administrationstudent relation- ship that says "Tell us your problems and we'll fix them, or do our best lies one that shouts "You are already an ECU stu- dent trapped in our system, and these younger groups are po- tential recruits. That's why they get first priority. Deal with it The university putting anonymous junior high school stu- dents' comfort ahead of their own students' necessities blatantly shows the administration's lack of sensitivity for those who, in essence, pay their, salaries. The ECU staff needs to take notice of the numerous on- campus problems and rectify them. Such a large university will always have problems, but the faculty's disregard for correc- tion has placed such an enormous black mark on the school's already-questionable reputation in North Carolina that it could leave a permanent stain that hinders future enrollment in such a critical time of campus-wide growth and development. Sympathy for the bedeviled ' When I first began writing for The East Carolinian back in Feb- ruary, the O.J. Simpson trial was just beginning to get into full swing. Face it, all trials need at least two to three months of throat- clearing before the court really gets own to business. Occasionally since then, when I've been desperate and strapped for an idea, I've always batted around the notion of doing some- thing on the trial, but always stopped myself at the last second by saying, "No, that's what every- one else is doing. And anyway, the people who read the paper are al- ready sick to the gills of the whole chaotic mess. The only thing that would interest them now would be for an opinion columnist who had written an article on the proceed- ings to be killed in a back alley somewhere I've successfully avoided the topic every time, except for that one little revelation a few weeks back that it was in fact a wax dummy of Simpson that's been sitting behind the defense table all these long months. Someone somewhere must have gotten wind of that one, be- cause the dummy was recently re- placed with a rubber-skinned animatronic that moves around just enough to give the semblance of life. I can't help it. I just can't help it. The silliness factor of this CTV- circus has been increasing by fac- tors of 10 with each passing week, and it's just too much not to write about it. Brian Wright Opinion Columnist The silliness factor of this CTV-circus has been increasing by factors of 10 A small disclaimer before I start here, and before all the witch- hunters who think I'm making fun of a tragic situation get the desire to give me an axehandle massage for my insensitivity. Relax. I'm not laughing it up at the thought of Ron and Nicole being turned into human sieves by Simpson or Kato or Howdy Doody or whoever the hell did it. I am, however, in a daily state of stitches at the sandbox games that what could have been one of the most precedent-setting trials of the century has degenerated into. Come on, look at the potential here for bringing the rich and fa- mous back down to earth. This even beats Robert Mitchum's jail time for pot, or Rick James' imprisonment for cocaine and out-and-out weird- ness (which never really surprised any of us to begin with). We all know it should have been over long before now, though. Even Judge Ito is looking con- stantly bored. I would really hate to be the one who had to listen to him unburden his rage and frustra- tion at the end of every day in court. Something along the lines of: "My God, we sit there in that room for days on end and nobody ever says or does anything to get us even vaguely closer to being done with all this! Even the prosecution and de- fense attorneys are snapping at each other like sleep-deprived wol- verines! And to top it all off. talk- show hosts are making fun of me every night on national television Sure, Ito's bored to the point of tears and probably not too far away from a wild fit of barking and gnawing on his own hands. Who can blame him? Not me. The argument here is that he definitely has the judicial author- ity to order both attorneys to spit it all out by a given date, but by now it's obvious that there isn't a hope or that happening. No, there's too much riding on seeing this thing trough to the bitter, tedious end. I'm sure Ito has a book deal for this at least in the back of his mind, and why not? Even Kato, whom most people seem to unani- mously agree is the biggest dolt since Herman Munster, is getting his literary pound of flesh out of this mess. Plus, Ito's earned it-the poor guy will probably never be able to watch CNN again without scrambling to the top of his book- shelf and screaming hysterically.

All politicans are not the same A crowd gathered at the Willis Building in late October for the League of Women Voters' Forum. The crowd cheered wildly when one poli- tician promised to "camp on the door- steps of the General Assembly to get funding for ECU He stood in front of the whirring television cameras to explain he would not vote to elimi- nate positions at East Carolina Uni- versity. He told the audience state em- ployees were important to Greenville and Pitt County's economy. He said he would not vote for eliminating state jobs outright. Instead, he said he would only support eliminating them through attrition. East Carolina Uni- versity is one of the largest employ- ers in his district A few moments later another politician stepped up to the micro- phone and professed his commitment to East Carolina. A similar litany of promises followed his profession of faith. He explained he was a former high school principal who understood the value of education. The crowd cheered again. There are several differences be- tween these two men. One is now a representative in the State House. The other serves in the Senate. One is serving his first term. The other has served for several years. One is a Democrat. The other is Republican. However, the most striking difference is one told the truth, while the other did not Recently, House Bill 4 threatened Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist We must hold politicians accountable for the promises they make to cut S48 million from the Univer- sity of North Carolina System. It prom- ised to eliminate 46 faculty and 16 nonteaching positions at ECU. It also would have cut graduate teaching assistantships and hiked tuition for in- state and out of state students. The bill also prevented ECU officials from choosing where budget cuts should occur. Rep. Henry Aldridge and Sen. Ed Warren both proclaimed an under- standing of the value of East Caro- lina University to the cheering crowd at the Willis Building. However, one man voted for this bill while the other did not. Henry Aldridge did not camp on any doorsteps as he had promised. Instead, he voted to eliminate 62 staff and faculty positions at East Carolina University. The bill passed the State House and would have become law if ap- proved by the Senate. However, Ed Warren lived up to the promises he made on the stage at the Willis Build- ing. As a member of the Senate Con- ference Committee, he fought to re- store East Carolina's funding. In the end, he was able to restore all but $600,000. Ed Warren's word was as good as gold to those gathered at the Willis Building during the election. This budget battie illustrates how different two elected officials can be. One jettisoned his campaign promises the moment he hit the Legislative Building's front steps. The other stood by what he campaigned on. It seems easy to become frustrated with the political system. It appears easier to vote against incumbents that to vote for them. It may even be easier to just walk away from the political process. It is more difficult to be atten- tive and to vote for each person based on their record. We must recognize what is right and wrong with our po- litical system if we hope to fix it Blan- ket statements about politicians and elected officials are dangerous. Gen- eralizations about politicians essen- tially throw out the baby with the bath water. We must hold politicians account- able for the promises they make. Be- ing informed about their individual voting records is the first step. Step- ping into the voting booth comes next It is unreasonable to expect politicians to take voters seriously, if the predomi- nant mind set is to penalize all politi- cians for the sins of a few. July 4, patriotism or a party? What did you celebrate on the Fourth of July? Was it our country winning its independence from Mother England? Or was it not hav- ing to go to class or work? And how did you celebrate? Did you reread the constitution and ponder the very meaning of freedom in our timesOr did you get knee-walking drunk and wake up on the banks of the Tar River? Or did you attend the annual family barbecue and eat cold food that should've been warm and warm food that should've been cold and see your two-year-old nephew get carried away by a 20-pound mosquito? It's funny, but the ways in which most of us celebrate Independence Day have less to do with celebrating freedom from tyranny than they have to do with celebrating freedom from school and work and, of course, free- dom from all common sense and inhi- bitions. Let's take fireworks for example. Andi Powell Phillips Opinion Writer It amazes me every year to see someone stumble by so drunk his eyes are crossed What is it about them that reduces grown people's brains to silly putty? You know what I mean, every year you see some guy lighting fireworks with his family standing nearby and every few moments he warns everyone to "stay back" and "be careful then, one cf the fireworks fizzles and this same guy warning everyone to be careful bends over the dud until his nose is practically touching it trying to see if it is going to do anything. What if it does? And it amazes me every year to see someone stumble by at a picnic or a party so drunk his eyes are crossed, carrying a lit package of fire- crackers. How come nothing ever seems to happen to these idiots? I guess it's something that at least we still celebrate the Fourth, even in the odd ways we do. While I doubt that our forefathers envisioned a fu- ture of beer-bloated, ham-sandwich- with-warm-mayonnaise-eating nimrods blowing off their big toes with fire- crackers when they celebrated the original Independence Day, I am sure they would be gratified to know that we, such as we are, are still (mostly) free. Free to drink too much, free to eat too much, free to talk too much, all in the name of our beloved coun- try. Smoking: a stinking habit I can walk to class on any cer- tain morning, afternoon or evening and it never fails that I have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get into any building. Yes most classroom buildings are smoke-free but, what's the point? All the smokers who used to pollute my air in the buildings, now pollutes my air outside of every entrance to every building. We make a building smoke free to protect the rights of nonsmokers. Then we turn around and place mul- tiple ashtrays outside of every en- trance. And we all know that an ash- tray to a group of smokers is like a watering hole to a bunch of water buffalo. Smokers use it as a place for congregating rather than it's obvious function (but that is a totally differ- ent bitch session in itself)- At least when the buildings were smoke-free the smoke was not concentrated in one certain area which every person, smoker or nonsmoker had to walk through. Talk about infringing on my rights as a nonsmoker! I could really care less if you want to smoke and inevitably kill MMMMMMMMMMM J.D. Heath Opinion Columnist You do not have any right to pollute the air I breathe as I walk to class. yourself with your habit. No. let me clarify, I don't care at all. It is your life, you make your choices, but when you sit outside of every en- trance to every building on campus and pollute the air 1 must breathe entering that building , you are in- fringing on my rights - my choice not to smoke. What gives you the right to fill the air with noxious fumes that I must walk through to get to my class. I am sick and tired of listening to all you unhealthy, smelly smok- ers bitch and moan about your rights as a smoker and a citizen of this country. You do have a right to do to your body that which you want, but you do not have any right to pollute the air I breathe as I walk to my class. On the other hand, I don't blame you smokers totally, 1 also blame the university for not foresee- ing this problem when they made the buildings smoke-free. They should have seen the inevitable problem. They should have allocated certain areas outside of every build- ing designated solely for the pur- pose of smoking. If this pisses off a lot of you die hard smokers - great! I love to raise a few hairs among readers. Then I know I have written a good article, one that provokes emotion. If you agree with my point of view - voice your opinion. Then and only then will something begin to change.

We think of them as esteemed educa- tors wearing tired clothes and giv- ing boring lec- tures in their stuffy classrooms as they decide our academic fates. The last thing on our minds as stu- dents is spending any more time with our instruc- tors than abso- lutely necessary. The members of the East Caro- lina Faculty Jazz Band are out to dispel these feel- ings students have toward faculty members. This dy- namic quartet has found a local res- taurant not to instruct students in their field of expertise, but to have a great time doing exactly what they love: performing live jazz. The credentials this collective group of musicians possess is more like the featured live entertainment on The Tonight Show than one of a band that can be enjoyed every other Thursday night at Staccato restaurant in Greenville. Each of these four instructors are prominent musicians in their own right. But as a group, they add the extracurricular entity that can only be described as magnetic. This magnetism is due. in part, to the attitude this quartet takes to their music. "The negative stig- mas of jazz mu- sic, such as it being only for intellectuals, is left outside the door. We're just having a great time doing what we love. It gives us a chance to play off-campus and to have some of our students play with us stated Peter Mills, the Faculty Jazz Band's reedman (and ECU Jazz Studies and Saxophone Instructor). The predominant love of jazz is easily recognized by the crowd that religiously packs Staccato everytime they play. As a band, the faculty has managed to fill Staccato with jazz enthusiasts of all ages and back- It gives us a chance to play off-campus and to have some of our students play with � us. � Peter Mills Faculty Jazz Band grounds. "Playing at Staccato fits the vibe of our music. Our students are given the opportunity to play with their teachers without being graded, just learning, playing and having fun. That's the way to learn, espe- cially in the arts Mills continued. Three other accomplished mu- sicians round out the seasoned quar- tet. Bassist (more appropriately known as the Director of Jazz Stud- ies) Caroll DaShiell, pianistProfes- sor of Piano and Jazz Studies Dr. Paul Tardif and percussionist (former student) Joe Lee. The Faculty Jazz Band plays again tomorrow night, when they will play original music, as well as choice selections from such jazz greats as Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. The band prides themselves on playing a loose repertoire of songs. "We don't have a set list, it's real informal; one of us will just call a song, and we'll play it Mills con- cluded. Because of this improvisational manner of playing live music, the professors don't have "lesson plans" for once. So don't go to Staccato's expecting to see the same professors you see in class. They are dressed in flashier attire in an informal set- ting and they don't even expect stu- dents to take notes - just follow their lead and have a great time. Photo courtesy Hardee's Walnut Creek Amphitheatre Melissa Etheridge put on a show that pleased the crowd at Walnut Creek last Thursday, despite rains that soaked the unfortunates seated on the hill at the open-air theater. Melissa Ethridge thrills the Creek's wet crowd Ike Shibley Staff Writer Vccetof? &��&& Apollo 13 soars Dale Williamson Staff Writer Ron Howard has been a hit-and-miss diiector for sev- eral years, but he has finally perfected his shot with his latest film, Apollo 13. As opposed to relying on melodra- matic flares, which has been a problem with Howard's more serious efforts, this historical picture paints an hon- est and straight-forward story that depicts a nail-biting moment in America's quest for the moon. Based on the near-tragic 1970 NASA mission, Apollo 13 centers on astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Jim Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Fred Haise (Bill Paxton). Seri- ous technical problems with their space mis- sion turn their life-long dream of walking on the moon into a life-and-death struggle to re- turn to earth. But wait, there's more. Howard falls short Ike Shibley Staff Writer Photo courtesy Universal Pictures Astronauts Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon hang in zero-g limbo while our critics try to make up their minds about Ron Howard's new space mission film, Apollo 13. While our heroes float about in space, there's also much action on Earth. As the NASA team races with the clock to figure out a way to get their men home in one piece, the families of the astronauts deal with the media, who seem to have renewed interest in what they had called just a routine trip to the moon. Scriptwriters William Broyles and Al Reinert should be applauded for creating an ensemble piece filled with so many well-rounded characters and for giving each char- acter a significant function in the overall plot of the film. But what is a character without a strong actor to bring it to life? If you like powerful performances in your movie meal deal, then consider this film an all-you-can-eat buffet from hell. Tom Hanks once again proves that he has come a long way from Bosom Buddies. As Jim Lovell, Hanks carries with him trie charm of a young boy who finally gets a chance to live out his dream as well as the desperate determination of a man who will do whatever it takes defy death and continue his chosen life as a dedi- cated father and husband. Backing up Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton have the right stuff to fill their characters with a mixture of passion, excitement and fear. Bacon particularly stands out as a somewhat outcast playboy who comes to the team as a last-minute replacement for Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise). who may or may not be infected with the measles. Also shining is Kathleen Quinland. As Lovell's wife, Marilyn, Quinland portrays a woman who wants to break down under her own fear but must stand strong as a sym- See SOAR page 7 Ron Howard's films make an easy target for any critic. I have lambasted many of his films in print from Gung Ho to Far and Away. The list of Howard disasters also includes Willow, Backdraft and Parenthood. He tries so diligently to make gritty, realistic films but his final product is always laughably contrived. Howard makes films that would appear realistic only to the citizens of Mayberry on the Andy Griffith Show. Howard's lat- est film, Apollo 13, sticks close to the facts of the actual Apollo 13 mission, which nearly ended in disaster. Yet he still manages to make a saccharine treatment of the events and actually saps some of the raw power from the story. Apollo 13 was the moon mission where a short cir- , cuit caused the as- tronauts to almost lose their lives. The story has built-in appeal along with a sizable amount of tension. The film cuts back and forth between the spaceship and the Houston control to relate the return home of the fateful mission. In the ship are Commander Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Command Module Pilot JacV Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise (Bill Paxton). Swigert was a last-minute replacement for Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise) who was exposed to measles and ran the risk of falling ill during the voyage. On the ground in Houston is Gene Kranz (Ed Han-is). Kranz works calmly (most of the time), with an entire legion of trained scientists and engineers, to bring the ship back to Earth. The events on the ground are as exciting as anything in the air. In between space and Houston, Howard inserts scene after scene of the families. Apollo 13 spends too much time on the familial reaction to the crisis. Howard even includes Lovell's mother in the story. Shots of teary-eyed children and nervous wives detract from the film. The tension in the ship and in Houston adequately con- veys the problems of the mission. To waste time with reac- tion shots is an uninspired way to evoke more sympathy. The shots of grandma Lovell and Marilyn Lovell, Jim's wife, add nothing to this film. The audience does not really want to see their strained, worried countenances; we want to see how Apollo 13 will make it back to Earth. Howard spends so much time on minor characters, es- pecially ones not crucial to the story, that he leaves no time for character development The scene where Lovell tells See FALL page 7 Last Thursday Melissa Etheridge performed at a soggy Walnut Creek Amphitheater. She returned to the venue after only a year to a nearly sold-out theater. Most fans were not disappointed. Etheridge has been compared to many great performers and has been dubbed by some as the female Bruce Springsteen. She certainly possesses the Boss's raw energy. She paraded around the stage for 2 12 hours, belting out love songs full of heart- ache and passionate conviction. Much like Springsteen often does, Etheridge gave her band a breather and sang a few acoustic numbers including a poi- gnant version of "Ain't It Heavy" and a song from her upcoming CD (due in November). The fans roared their apprecia- tion (although many around me on the lawn seemed oblivious to any sound coming from the front of the amphitheater) for Etheridge's soulful melodies, never more so than just before the closure of her regular set Etheridge brought the crowd to their feet by singing "Bring Me Some Wa- ter" then while the audience was rock- ing she unexpectedly kicked out a rau- cous version of "You Shook Me All Night Long Etheridge played the crowd almost as well as she played her guitar during that finale. She left the stage amid hoarse screams. Too often, though, she resorted to cheap crowd pleasers like shout- ing "Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill" again and again (I counted five differ- ent times) or letting her guitarist play solo for several minutes. The crowd was there to hear her and the show would have been much more lively had she careened from one number to the next Instead she wasted a lot of time talking and far too much time on in- strumental solos. At one point all four musicians played the drums. The idea was cute but went on so long that it became tedious. I was spoiled five years ago when I saw Etheridge at a 1,500 seat the- ater in Tampa, Florida. She was pro- moting her Brave and Crazy album and had a strong, but small, core of fans. The intimate setting seemed the perfect way to experience her brand of soulful rock. The stadium-sized show at Walnut Creek just could not compare to the hospitable venue in Tampa. And why is Walnut Creek so expensive - $17.50 to sit on the grass? The concert proved that Etheridge has what it takes to remain in rock for a while (though she needs to explore a bit larger lyrical domain). With energy and passion she made the patrons at the Creek all but forget their wet feet and sent them home with a song or two in their hearts. CD. Reviews CeDell Davis The Best of CeDell Davis m� Kris Hoffler Staff Writer There is a small division of the Capricorn label called Fat Possum Records that deals exclusively with older styles of American music. The blues, zydeco and other forms of music from the deep south are pro- duced by this label. Their latest release is a collec- tion ot the best of a southern blues artist entitled The Best of CeDell Davis. CeDell Davis is a blues artist of an old school design; a sleepy, slow Mississippi delta blues to be exact. He gathered together several other artists of the genre to help out on the album. Col. Bruce Hamp- ton, formerly of the Aquarium Res- cue Unit, helps out on many of the tunes as well as other prominent artists of the roots rock blues genre. There are a lot of 12-bar stan- TOP 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. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor dard blues songs on this release; that particular form makes up the majority of the tracks. It is prob- ably the most recognizable sound in the area of blues, which in turn makes this a very accessible release. It also has a very good sound qual- ity, something that blues record- ings are not known for. The album opens with "My Dog Won't Stay at Home CeDell sings, "You know I done got so lonesome People I just don't know what to do This one is a slow 12-bar blues tune that deals with the most typi- cal of blue's subjects, infidelity and heartbreak. "Keep Your Mouth Closed Baby" is similar to the opening tune in musical style, but the lyrics deal with being flat broke and the rela- tionship problems that come with such a situation. "You know I came home every Friday, with all my hard earned payYou know I begged you baby honey to change your waysSo now you ca get to steppin' baby CeDell belts out on "Get to Steppin' Baby CeDell lets the condescen- sion flow on this one. The very next song takes the opposite stance. "Baby Don't Do It" is a down-on-bended-knee song that puts CeDell in his most convincing mode, begging his lover not to leave. There are also a couple of in- strumental dance songs on the disc. "Rock" and "CeDell's Boogie" are at twice the tempo of the vocal tunes and are very conducive to shuffling of the feet and shaking of the bottom. Derrek Trucks adds a nice slide guitar action to both the tunes. I love the blues and The Best of CeDell Davis is nothing but. It is tastefully done and very true to tradition. Check out this CD, crack open a cold one and get back to what's real. Do you know any two people with the same car? Think hard, now. In all your wide web of acquaintances, do you know anyone who has the same model of car as anyone else you know? If you answered yes, con- gratulations. Nobody I've asked in person has been able to think of anyone. I know a lot of people, hav- ing attended three different col- leges and having had many dif- ferent sets of friends since high school. But in this huge net- work of friends and family, I can't think of any two cars that are alike. Even if you answered yes, I'd be willing to bet that you could only think of two people. So what does this mean? It means that the world's auto manufacturers have managed to produce a higher number of dif- ferent cars than the number of people most human beings are capable of knowing. In the mod- ern age of big cities and ex- tended families, I find this noth- ing short of astounding. It could be argued that the vast number of available car models in merely a reflection of the public's desire for variety. In other words, having a differ- ent can that anyone else you know is a statement of individu- ality. If that's the case, though, I would ask why all the differ- ent car models are starting to look so much alike. But that's just a quibble. I think variety is exactly the issue here. But have we taken variety too far? I mean, I'm all for individuality. In fact, I don't think we have enough of the stuff in this plastic, in- terchangeable VHS world (if we all love variety so much, what- ever happened to BetaMax? These are the things that keep me awake at night). But enough may very well be enough. Have you walked down the shampoo aisle in the local Wal- Mart lately? Dear God, what an obscene display! The fact that shampoo takes up a whole aisle by itself frightens me. But it's when I venture into that dragon's lair of variety that my flight instinct really kicks in. Beyond the 20 or 30 different brand names in evidence, there's another, more insidious, level of variety. No matter what might hap- pen to your hair, whether it's due to genetics, abuse, fire, flood, famine or plain old act of God, there's a shampoo for you. There's shampoo for dry hair, oily hair, "in-between" hair (?) and chemically-damaged hair. There's medicated sham- poo for various skin conditions, itchy scalp and the old faithful horrors of dandruff. There's a shampoo spe- cially formulated to be used while giving your hair a rest from your regular shampoo. There's shampoo with beer, shampoo with milk and sham- poo with tulip extract. And, coming soon, shampoo with In- donesian White Llama Semen! Shampoo, shampoo, sham- poo! It's enough to drive a sane person into the hills to wear goat skins and eat barley root. But that's not the worst thing. No, the worst thing is that, in the midst of all this staggering, brobdingnagian va- riety, the hardest kind of sham- poo to find is often for "normal" hair. When I ask the helpful Wal-Mart stock people about it, they usually tell me that regu- lar shampoo doesn't sell very well. See DROP page 7 5 i ��liii aHiilM ii ii Wednesday, July 5, 1995 The East Carolinian f Embrace the perverse in Rocket City BtXK In Review Rhonda J. Cranford Staff Writer Ever thought about leaving town and finding a new life for yourself in a new place? Well, this book could give you an idea of what to expect Catherine Alpert's Rocket City is an unusual work, and if you'd like a reading experience full of incredible characters and funny plot turns, you should give this a try. I should warn you, however, that Rocket City de- mands a lot of patience from the reader. The story is really two in one. Chapters alternate between characters Marilee and Figman, who are both going through major life transitions. One of the drawbacks to this approach is that the reader is tempted to skip the chapters about Figman and read ail of the ones about Marilee. Marilee has an interesting sidekick named Enoch. Enoch is what would be referred to in today's politically cor- rect climate as a "little person but he insists on being called a dwarf. Enoch steals the show. He's a millionaire drifter who knows everybody in New Mexico, and he likes to crusade against political correctness. He takes Marilee to a dwarf toss and cheers as she hurls a little guy by the name of Bashful into the far wall. Enoch's belief is that life is hard and cruel, which no amount of politeness and political delicacy can change. He tries to teach Marilee to embrace the crass nature of life, as he has. For the first part of the book Alpert throws out loose ends that seem like pointlessly included information. For example, after Marilee reaches Alamogordo she meets a man who is both the town gynecologist and the mayor. This character is quirky and interesting, someone worthy of further development but he doesn't show up again until near the very end of the book. All the loose ends tie themselves up satisfactorily, though Alpert takes her time and makes the reader worrv that he's wasting his time. She also leaves the reader hungry for missing information, but that is given in full later on in the book. For example, she introduces the subplot of Figman try- ing to avenge his gardener, but we don't discover how it turned out until close to the end. Just when you've forgotten about these loose ends, Alpert ties them up. Until the last half of the book, it doesn't begin to make sense why the- story focuses on Marilee and Figman, who seem to have nothing in common other than a recent move to New Mexico. Marilee goes there to get mar- ried, and Figman goes there to die. Subtle similarities begin to show up. They both suffer from migraines, they both came from troubled, fatherless family situations, they both paint and they're both romantically interested in people who are impossibly wrong for them. Eventually they almost meet in a head-on collision, and Figman spills a drink on Marilee in a bar. These char- acters contrast with each other nicely. For example, the reader is led to specu- late about how the lack of a father has affected each of them differently. The main drawback of Rocket City, as I mentioned before, is the fact that the story is more heavily weighted on Marilee's side. Figman is a tedious old maid to begin with, and he doesn't have the benefit of a colorful sidekick like Enoch. This makes the book like a multi-layered Oreo cookie - you have to crunch through layers of boring cookie wafer to enjoy the icing be- tween. This is somewhat frustrating, but in the end Alpert succeeds in leav- ing the reader where she le�es the main characters: aware and at peace with the reckless, uncontrollable forces that make it impossible for us to plan our lives.

Last, but definitely not least, there is the always underrated Ed Harris portraying mission control leader Gene Kranz. Even though his screen time may be limited, Harris carries a presence that is always felt. Harris commands every moment he is on screen with the confidence of a veteran actor, shouting such lines as "We haw never lost an American in space, and it's not going to hap- pen on my shift and "I don't want the whole Bible, just give me a few chapters But Apollo 13 has much more than just great actors.

Admittedly, this summer has been a bummer for movies. With films like Congo and Die Hard 3 floating aimlessly without any sense of purpose, it is a relief to see Hol- lywood release a film that doesn't mind taking its time to develop strong characters and a strong plot while at the same time never lose its sense of awe and wonder.

None of the emotions of any of the three as- tronauts is clear and none talk about it later. Only one scene details any com- munication between the astronauts in space as Lovell and Haise talk about the 'tatter's future child; but the scene ends in a fight between Swigert and Haise and no one talks again. The as- tronauts are caricatures, almost as bad as the cardboard heroes thrown up on the screen in any generic action film. The actors do as much as they can with their roles. Bacon and Harris stand out but Harris gets the meatier role, so he can do more with it The script does not really allow the actors any room to develop their characters. The roles have smaller dimensions than the inside of the lunar module. Apollo 13 is a fun film, filled with entertaining moments. But the shoddy direction and weak writing undermine what could have been a great story. The film completely captures one's attention while watching, but leaves no perma- nent impression because of a lack of artistic integrity. On a scale of one to ten, Apollo 13 rates a six. Fact?

If they don't, the defi- nition of "normal" hair should be changed to fit the ever-shifting American hair landscape. Is this mind-numbing variety a symptom of America's love affair with individuality, or simply more proof of our national insecurity complex? In all honesty, I like having some variety in my life. I like being able to eat Italian or Chinese, ac- cording to my taste. I like being able to watch science fiction program- ming on TV when I'm in the mood for science fiction. I like being able to choose Coke over Pepsi. But there's a point of satura- tion for everything, and I think America's swiftly reaching it. Au- thor Douglas Coupland, in his book Generation X, uses the term "option paralysis It refers to hav- ing so many choices that the brain freezes and makes none.

State and UNC- Chapel Hill are again making head- lines across the region. Athletic di- rectors from the three universities are currently finalizing plans to re- new the Pirate-Wolfpack-Tarheel football rivalry. "The N.C. State vs. East Caro- lina game was certainly one of the most popular on our football sched- ule during the 1970s and 80s said NCSU Athletic Director Todd Turner. "Renewal of this rivalry is important to our state and would be good for the sport of college foot- ball. ECU Athletic Director Mike Hamrick and I met recently and have begun to evaluate our future sched- uling commitments to determine the earliest date when we might play. "And, with East Carolina's sta- dium expansion due to be completed later this decade, playing a game in Greenville is cer.ainly possible. We hope to complete our discussions and reach an agreement in the next few months Many reasons have been given over the years for why the N.C. State series was cancelled after a 32-14 Pirate victory at Carter-Finley Sta- dium in 1987. The most widely used is Turner's insistence that his big- gest concern remains crowd control and safety. "We're not willing to get into any kind of long-term relationship with (ECU) if the reaction might be the same as it was in '87 says Turner, alluding to the melee that occurred after the game. Also paramount in Turner's re- luctance to schedule football games in Greenville was Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium's lack of seating, currently thirty-five thousand - a problem head football coach Steve Logan says will soon be solved. "Previously they said N.C. State didn't want to come to Greenville because there aren't enough seats over here he said. "Well, now we're going to have a football stadium that's bigger than theirs is. We'll be at 50,000 seats opening in 1997 50,000 occupied seats at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium equals big money for eastern North Carolina and for ECU. But for Pirate fans, it's also the realization of a long-time dream to see ECU compete regularly with North Carolina's biggest foot- ball schools, including Duke Univer- sity. ECU, however, is not alone in its struggle to get a foot in the door 'PMd&ta�$4 Dave Pond Sports Editor I No one wants to be a Los Ange- les Clipper. It's easy to see why those lovable losers from L.A. passed on Jerry Stackhouse in favor of Antonio McDyess - Stack would have never signed the contract McDyess, upon the announcement of the Clips' pick, wasn't as elated as the rest of the first- round picks walking up to the stage - until he was traded to Denver for Brent Barry (possibly the best pure athlete of all of Rick Barry's sons) and big man Rodney Rogers. Getting picked by the Clippers is like playing spin the bottle and ending up having to kiss your buddy's fat pimply sister. It's the whole point of the game, but the one partner everyone's trying to avoid being paired up with The secret's out in the whole Shaq vs. Hakeem rivalry. What a suprise, it turns out Taco Bell pro- vided the big bucks to fund the re- cent full-page newspaper ads in which Shaq downplayed the Rockets sweep of the Magic, and challenged the NBA Finals MVP to a one-on-one competi- tion. This, of course, was followed by a advertisementresponse from Olajuwon. The timing of this ad cam- paign comes hand-in-hand with the owners' recent lockout making this one-onone "challenge" possibly the only hoops game in town. The NBA lockout marks the first for the league, and leaves the NFL as the only pro- fessional sports league to not have a work stoppage in the last year. If the strike goes on long enough, the NBA will self-nullify any gains it has made in the last few seasons, while endan- gering the sport's popularity, as did baseball and hockey See POND page 9 of in-state athletics. "It's kind of like down in Ala- bama Logan said. "Alabama would not go to Auburn for a hundred years and finally � three years ago they went and played a game at Auburn. It's the same everywhere. "Southern Mississippi has the same fight in the state of Mississippi. See ECU page 9 Photo Courtesy of FCU SID Discussions have begun to revitalize the football series' between ECU and both N.C. State and UNC. The last time ECU faced either opponent was in the 1991 Peach Bowl (ECU 37, NCSU 34). AD meetings come after long wait Brian Paiz Assistant Sports Editor Finally! That's what many ECU fans are yelling since the announce- ment that the University of North Carolina and N.C. State have talked about tangling with the Pirates on the football gridiron. But don't let UNC or State fool you. The decision was not a popular one with Tarheel and Wolfpack fans and alumni. Raleigh's News & Observer re- ported Thursday that both schools "grudgingly" announced their inten- tions, once again showing that many people around the state of North Carolina still feel that ECU is that "other" University, compared to our ACC counterparts. The main question from UNC and State was "What do we get out Pirates on the Street Should ECU be playing N.C. State and Carolina in football, and why? Photos by KEN CLARI Doug Hudson, senior Sure. ECU has a great team. I want us to slaughter the Tarheel preppies and the cow- lovin' Wolfpack! Robin Days, senior Yes. I think that it would make ECU more prestigious and also make people aware of how good we are. Sharon Braddy, senior Yes. To make ECU more prestigious and to again beat N.C. State! William Powell, sophomore We need to show them that we can play and can kick some butt as well. of playing ECU?" Firsa of all. ECU has one of the best followings in the country, and ticket sales for these games would be ex- traordinary. Just drive down 1-40 and ask the folks in Duke's athletic de- partment. Secondly, ECU can strengthen both schools' schedules. N.C. State usually signs up "power- houses" Appala- chian State and Western Carolina. I would mention Marshall as well, but actually, Wolfpack fans shiver when they hear that the Thundering Herd is coming to town. North Carolina has helped their schedule by adding Syracuse this year, but anything can improve on William & Mary and Navy. An ECU- N.C. State matchup, or UNC-ECU, will attract not only fans from all three schools, but it has the ability to attract the casual football fan as well. Then there's the situation that people always want to bring up: the 1987 game between the Pirates and the Wolfpack in which there was some trouble after the contest be- tween ECU and State fans. This incident has haunted "We might not have wine and cheese at our tailgating parties like our Chapel Hill counterpartsbut ECU has a good tune � ECU's image for eight years now, and if 's about time people got over it. Most of the stu- dents that are at the three universi- ties now were entering middle school when then incident occurred. This image has cast a deep shadow on ECU students for a while. People such as Ron Green of the Charlotte Observer still continue to down Pirate fans, for example, in a recent article Green called ECU fans "dreadful Plus, everyone in Greenville knows about the N&O's continued thrashing of ECU. There's an image that ECU stu- dents come to Greenville because they could not get into UNC or N.C. State. Well, let me let everyone know that N.C. State and UNC students and fans are not any more respectable than Pirate students and fans. Sure, we might not have wine and cheese at our tailgating parties like our Chapel Hill counterparts, or we might not get to graze in the field beside our stadium like our Wolfpack buddies, but ECU has a good time, and isn't that what college is supposed to be about? We go to class Monday through Friday just like UNC and State stu- dents, and our medical school is just as qualified as UNC's. So what's the problem? New ECU athletic director Mike Hamrick did a great job in get- ting both of these schools on our schedules, lets just hope that the tar- nished image that ECU has gotten from other individuals will be the next problem that Hamrick can resolve. Rookie leads All-Star roster Five Phillies, Six Indians named to mid-season squads (AP) - Hideo Nomo became the first Japanese player picked for an All-Star game, and six Cleveland players were chosen for the first time since 1955. Ken Griffey, Jr Ozzie Smith and Matt Williams were elected as starters Sunday even though they are injured and will miss the July 11 game in Arlington, Texas. Among the Indians, second baseman Carlos Baerga and outfielder Albert Belle were voted in as starters, and AL manager Buck Showalter said that Kenny Lofton will take Griffey's place in the starting lineup. The other Indians picked were outfielder Manny Ramirez and pitchers Dennis MArtinez and Jose Mesa. "I could have easily chosen a few more said Showalter, the manager of the New York Yankees. "I thought long and hard of Eddie Murray. He certainty was worthy of consideration Murray got his 3.000th hit Friday night but broke two ribs on Sunday. The Indians are 42-18, the best record in base- ball. Nomo, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher with a 2.05 ERA was among five first-time All-Stars on the NL Staff, joined by Denny Neagle of Pittsburgh, Carlos Perez of Montreal and Tyler Green and Heathcliff Slocumb of 'he Philadelphia Phillies. Griffey, who broke his left wrist May 27, led AL outfielders with 1,204.748 votes. Williams, who broke his right foot June 3, led NL third basemen with 1.029,519 votes. Cal Ripken of the Baltimore Orioles, closing in on Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played, led all players with 1,698,424 votes. The clos- est voting was for the third outfield spot in the AL. Lofton was fourth, 21,822 votes behind Puckett The number of votes was sown sharply form 1994, primarily because Texaco Inc. didn't distribute ballots and baseball attendance this season has dropped 20 percent In 1994, a record 14,040,122 votes were cast and Griffey got the most, 6,079,688. This year, 5,808,000 votes were cast, the fewest since 5.5 votes in 1987. Also elected to start for the AL were Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas, New York Yankees third baseman Wade Boggs, Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez and Minnesota outfielder Kirby Puckett In the NL. Fred Mcgriff of Atlanta was elected at first Craig Biggio of Hous- ton at second and Mike Piazza of Los .Angeles at catcher. The elected ourfielder starters were Barry Bonds of San Fransisco, Lenny Dykstra of Philadelphia and Tony Gwynn of San Diego. Smith, disabled since May 24 with a sore soulder, was voted to start for the 12th time. The only player elected more times was Rod Carew (15). NL manager Felipe Alou of Montreal said he intends to use Colorado's Vinny Castilla at third in place of Williams and Cincinnati's Barry Larkin at shortstop instead of Smith. Ripken has started 11 consecutive All-Star games, including 1988, when he finished second to Alan Trammell in vot- ing but replaced the injured Detroit Ti- gers shortstop. Boggs was elected to start for the ninth straight time, Griffey for the sixth and Puckett for the fourth. The rest of the NL pitching staff includes Tom Henke of St Louis, Greg Maddux of Atlanta, Randy Myers of the Chicago Cubs and Todd Worell of Los Angeles. In the AL, the other pitchers picked were Kevin Appier of Kansas City, Chuck Finley and Lee Smith of California, Erik Hanson of Boston, Randy Johnson of Seattle, Steve Ontiveros of Oakland, Kenny Rogers of Texas and David Wells of Detroit Just three Indians-Ray Fosse (1971), Manny Trillo (1983) and Sandy Alomar (1990-92)-had been elected to saart in the previous quarter century. The most Indians on an All-Star team was seven in 1952. Second session hoops and softball start seasons David Gaskins Recreational Services The second session of intramu- ral sports activities begins this week with action in 3-on-3 basketball and softball. Although the number of teams is down from the first session due to lower enrollment, the compe- tition still promises to be fierce, as teams make their final appearances prior to the beginning of the fall cal- endar and regular seasons. The 3-on-3 basketball season ap- pears to have to clear-cut favorite as a host of teams battle for early su- premacy. "Flipped, Cleaved & Brewed Fish" boasts the speedy backcourt play of Steve Flippin and the outside shooting of Matt Fisher. The "Three Amigos led by captain Kevin Stone, and Chip Hutchinson's "Ward's Team" are also expected to play tough. However, the "Blue Chips" may prove to be the darkhorse team, and are led by George Hollen's shooting and Brian Taylor on the boards. In Co-Rec softball, "Mel's Team" is expected to bounce back after their first-session upset loss in the cham- pionships. They are led by captain Melissa Dawson's all-around play and the leadership of Russell Duvall. The "Economics Society" fea- tures long-time intramural veterans Lester Zeager, Mary Bishop, Diane Mahoney and David Hales. Other teams in Co-Rec include "Ward's Team" and Patrich Hein's "Kegel's In the Men's division, "U-Lose" has a powerful offense that is once again led by Steven Lovett, Eddie Coble, Kemp Ewing and "Fore" Rembert The "Transit Authority" re- turns in force as captain Doug Hudson leads a unit that finished strong during the first summer sessionsession.

These absences come from the rule that each team must be represented by at least one player, which forces the league managers to overlook much more worthy additions to their rosters. It's way too obvious why Cal Ripken, Jr. is the Oriole's lone representative - it's "The Streak His .270-something bat- ting average doesn't warrant an appear- ance. Wouldn't it be ironic if baseball's newest ironman turned an ankle or got beaned in a game that (statistically) he has no right to be playing? Major league baseball, already desperate to regain its striking fans, does, however, get a boost by the NL appearances of Japanese pitching sensation Hideo Nomo, flam- boyant Expos rookie Carlos Perez, and Phillies' rookie hurler Tyler Green. All three are what baseball needs - bright young stars with big-time stats. Another good heavyweight fight has come out of the "non-champion" mix.

Foreman, who gave up the gold instead of taking another mandatory fight with German Axel Schultz, still considers himself the champ.

North Carolina and East Caro- lina met eight times between 1972 and 1981, with all of the contests held in Chapel Hill. "This is an institutional de- cision that is broader in scope than athletics Swofford said. "Our de- sire is to do what is best for our in- stitution and the state of North Carolina, as well as our athletic pro- gram. Our institution has decided that it is advisable to resume the football series with East Carolina, and we will begin discussion of a specific nature immediately. "We will plan on visiting Greenville, as well as welcoming East Carolina back to Kenan Sta- dium. I am sure that this will be an exciting series for football fans throughout the state of North Caro- lina "I think it could be a tre- mendous rivalry Hamrick said. "I can't speak for N.C. State or North Carolina, but I think these games will be a tremendous boost not only to the state, but to the university, to our athletic program and to our football program All three schools mention the year 2000 as a probable start- ing date for the renewed series, as ECU has already signed contracts with Duke and Wake Forest start- ing in the 21st century. With the renewed rivalry on the horizon and scheduling of Pirate, Wolfpack and Tarheel games set to begin, the Pirates will charge head- long into another grueling football season in 1995. "We'll have a competetive team this year Logan said. "Our sched- ule this year is so front-end loaded with Tennessee, Syracuse, West Vir- ginia and Illinois that we may not be able to duplicate the same num- bers as last season's record.
