The institute began Monday at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with many of the 107 participants seemingly unaware that state legislators had questioned the meeting. The two-week series of seminars is sponsored by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was criticized by North Carolina House Majority Leader and tobacco farm owner Leo Daughtry, who said he might block requests for faculty raises and new building funds. (AP) - A record number of pris- oners are living on North Carolina's death row. and there's no more room. There are 122 prisoners cur- rently on the state's death row, the highest number since the state rein- stated the death penalty in the 1970s. Last month, Central Prison warden James French started putting con- demned prisoners in an area formerly' reserved for other high-security pris- oners, who had to be reassigned to make more room. Around the Country (AP) - Susan Smith is mentally competent to stand trial for drown- ing her two young sons, the judge in her murder case ruled today in Union, S.C. Circuit Judge William Howard agreed with the state's chief psychia- trist Dr. Donald Morgan, who said Ms. Smith was sane. (AP) - It was midday on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco last week when 25-year-old Eric Atkinson chose to end his life. He did so abruptly, abandoning his vehicle and flinging himself over the waist-high rail of the fabled rust- colored span. Like the 999 known victims before him, Atkinson's body fell roughly 220 feet, hitting the water at about 80 mph. The impact likely killed him. Authorities say they don't know what led him to the bridge, or whether he was aware that his jump would be recorded as a mor- bid milestone: the 1,000th Golden Gate suicide. Around the World (AP) - Since Sunday, the United Nations has warned repeat- edly of possible airstrikes if the Bosnian Serbs did not abandon the tank and infantry offensive they launched Wednesday against the government held enclave of 42,000 occupants mostly Muslim refugees. Srebrenica is the first 'safe area" the United Nations estab- lished two years ago to protect ci- vilians, but as with the five other U.Nprotected areas, the designa- tion has not kept the city out of the war. UPDATE: NATO jets carried out airstrikes against Bosnian Serbs in Srebrenica, a U.N. spokesman said. u. Supreme Court decision could affect ECU Wendy Rountree Assistant News Editor Since the Supreme Court ruled against race-based scholarships in May, universities across the nation, including ECU, have been scram- bling to reassess their minority scholarships. The Court's decision was based on the scholarship program at the University of Mary- land, where the same scholarships were offered to Af- rican American students or white students, depending on the situation. The Court supported the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal's earlier origi- nal decision to rule against Maryland's race-based scholarships. "I think Maryland pretty much thought that they were okay with that scholarship because they also offered Pirates on the Street Photos by KEN CLARK scholarships to white students said Rose Mary Stelma. director of finan- cial J. "Apparently, that was not the case ECU currently has two minority scholarship programs. North Carolina's Minority Presence Grant and the Chancellor's Minority Student Leadership Scholarship. The Minority Presence Grant program now offers scholarships within the University of North Carolina's 16-campus system. African American stu- dents who go to predominately white institu- tions like ECU and N.C. State, and white stu- dents who go to predominately African Ameri- can institutions like N.C. A&T and Elizabeth City State Uni- versity, can re- ceive the scholarships. Stelma said that in this aspect the UNC system's program is similar to Maryland's program. The Chancellor's Minority Stu- dent Leadership Scholarship was es- tablished five years ago and was backed bv the chancellor - thus the Do you think romantic relationships should be allowed between students and university employees?

"Part of the program is to get African American students involved in campus life, in- volved in student organizations and train a core group of leaders that would go back to some of the predomi- nately black organizations to improve efficiency and effectiveness of those organizations Haynes said students are also prepared to be able to enter as lead- ers in Student Government and the Student Union in order to diversify those organizations.

Hi Classes move closer to home Joann Reed Staff Writer ECU's department of industry and technology now has the capa- bility to conduct classes in your home, in another university or even another country, by developing high-tech but affordable new teach- ing strategies for reaching student populations at distant learning sites.

The archaeology field school is on the site of Fort Neoheroka, a for- tress built by the Tuscarora Indians to protect against colonists and rival Indian tribes, and is also the site of the final battle of the Tuscarora War of 1711-1713. According to Dr. John Byrd, vis- iting professor of archaeology at ECU and assistant director for the Neoheroka project the site is uniquely well preserved and has yielded invalu- able materials. "One of the most significant things from an anthropology perspec- tive is that these people crammed into a fort in a hurry and brought with them everything they could carry Byrd said. "And a result of that is a great variety of material things from their everyday life has been concen- trated in one little place The excavation site serves as" classroom for both undergraduates and the new graduate archeology de- partment "Our goal for our graduate stu- dents in the field school is that they come out being experienced and quali- fied to run the excavations on a site themselves Byrd said.

J. Miles Layton Staff Writer Photo by KEN CLARK These artifacts, recovered from the Neoheroka excavation site, were used for trading. Anthropology students spent their summer digging remains from the Tuscaroran Indians. "You had to be on campus by 6:30 in the morning, and sometimes you didn't get back on campus till af- ter 5:30, so they were long, tiring days, but I definitely feel very fortunate to have gone to field school with Dr. Phelps Sune said. "He knows a lot about archaeology. He's been in the field for over 40 years Dr. Phelps, professor of archae- ology and director of the Neoheroka project, was unable to be reached for an interview due to the fact that he has been away from campus doing field research on other sites. According to Sune, she was able to do a little bit of everything on the site, rather than just being relegated to one task. When asked what she planned to do with her degree, Sune stated that she was unsure. "People keep asking me that, but the truth is I just haven't decided she said. "With an archaeology de- gree you could do simple contract- ing work, or you could work for some- place like the Department of Trans- portation. Before they can build a road they have to make sure that there is nothing that needs to be excavated. In order to go further in this field, though, 1 would have to go back and get my master's or probably even my doctorate Charles Heath, a member of the newly instated graduate program, stated in an interview Tuesday that he intends to eventually pursue a doc- torate at another university, as East Carolina does not offer a doctoral degree in anthropology.

Each year, the Mewboms leave an area of their farmland available for excavation by the ECU archaeology department, while they farm the re- mainder of the land. According to a press release from the ECU News Bureau, the artifacts recovered from the Neoheroka site will be named for the Mewborn family in honor of their contribution anc cooperation in the endeavor. "Neoheroka one of the most sig- nificant sites in the country right now Byrd said. "We are very fortunate to have the kind of access we have to it And we only have that access through the generosity of the Mewborn family Several city ordinances will af- fect those opting to live off campus, this fall, from tenant capacity to grass height Only three unrelated people per dwelling is the law in Greenville. This means that anyone living four or more to an apartment, house or du- plex is in danger of breaking the law. The city of Greenville has inspectors who are empowered to check and enforce the law. Mayor Nancy Jenkins said that although not the rule, in- spectors would give the fourth ten- ant time to find a new place. Jim Kaufmann, chief inspector for Greenville, said if he gets a com- plaint, one of the eight inspectors in his office is sent to investigate. Most complaints come from neighbors concerned about parking and the number of cars in a driveway. If there is a violation, the inspector notifies the property owner and the tenant The inspector then gives the owner 30 days to comply with the ordi- nance. Failure to comply means a $50-a-day fine. Kaufmann said this does not mean people will get kicked out into streets. "If there is a hardship case, we can give an extension Kauffman said. Andy Harris, director of plan- ning and community development, is the judge of such extensions. "We try to work with people and give them a reasonable amount of time to resolve the situation Har- ris said. Jenkins said the ordinance is designed to be fair to the renter, the homeowner and the student himself. Kauffman said that unless his office gets a complaint there is no way to tell the number of residents in a dwelling. Most property owners sign leases to three people- Often new tenants secretly sublease to a fourth. There are also laws which affect loud neighbors; for example, a 60 decibel level noise ordinance. Deter- mined by noise meters, this level is determined by a joint effort of stu- dents, administrators and the city, if anyone wants to pump up the vol- ume to 80 decibels, they must get a special permit from the city. This permit must be signed by all neigh- bors and turned in with a $50 fee. For every 50 guests at a party, there must be a police officer present, and these off-duty officers, paid an average of $18 an hour, do not come See ACT page 3 R.

If grass remains uncut above 12 inches, the city will cut it for you. The city can fine the property owner $50 a day until the grass is mowed, but usually they resort to different means. After a 10 day warning, the city will contract out the work, which can cost approximately $30 or more. On top of this fee, a $45-55 administrative fee will be added to the owner's bill. City Manager Ron Kimble said this citywide ordinance is an impor- tant public health issue. "Rats, mice and mosquitoes are a public health nuisance that can come from unmowed grass Kimble said.

Haynes said the loss would be great if this scholarship were canceled. "This program has the potential to have a devastating impact here on campus Haynes said. "If you look at many of the African American stu- dents who are in leadership positions across the campus, nearly 90 percent of them were participants in this pro- gram. So it has the potential to have a devastating effect on the leadership in the African American community here at East Carolina University Haynes said that he received a document of the editor's note (romThe College Student and the Courts, June 1995 issue, which stated that the "ruling" the Supreme Court made only means that the race-based scholarships at the University of Mary- land were unlawful - not the ones at other universities. "That is sort of the troubling part of the ruling we are seeing here Haynes said. "It's not necessarily the impact that the ruling, persay, will have on the numbers. In other words, minority scholarships represent a very, very small piece of the financial aid pie. In fact depending on who you talk to, it's one percent to three per- cent of the total financial aid that is given out each year. "But, what it does is change people's mentality, or their mindset. They say, 'Ah, Maryland says you can't give race-based scholarships, so we'll start cutting back on the scholarships that we offer. We won't push as hard to recruit or try to recruit minorities, African Americans students and other minorities to our campus. The Su- preme Court doesn't feel this is a pri- ority " How the ruling will affect ECU and the other universes is still not known. f� IB MELON FEHST" THURSDAY, JULY 13" 95 RAINDATE: JULY 20' 95 UNIVERSITY MALL 11PM UNTIL IT'S ALL GONE SPONSORED BY TOUR.

They have not said that we cannot award the money, and we've awarded our money. We've offered it to students ECU has about 80 students re- ceiving over $100,000 in assistance from the Minority Presence Grants in the coming year. "The majority of those students have been awarded through the ad- missions office when they came in as in-coming freshmen Stelma said. "They get $1,500 per year, renewable for four years or eight semesters, based on maintaining a certain grade noint average. "That's 80 students that would be missing scholarship or grant as- sistance, if that program is gone Stelma said though letters awarding scholarships have already been sent out and those checks will be written next week, the General Ad- ministration can still decide to cut students' money this year. Even stu- dents who have been receiving the scholarship in past years will be in- cluded. "I guess, it's not too late Stelma said. "They (General Admin- istration) could always say that the s� funds are not available However, Stelma said she at- tended a meeting in Chapel Hill dur- ing May that was somewhat encour- aging. "I know that the system is very committed to the Minority Presence Grant program Stelma said. "As a matter-of-fact, we, meaning a group of financial aid administrators, have met with the General Administration of the UNC system and have been try- ing to come up with some ways to expand the opportunities for minor- ity students, rather than close them off If the program was ended, there would only be a few options left to minority students. "Some of the students who re- ceive Minority Presence Grant funds could possibly have part of that fund- ing replaced with other grant assis- tance Stelma said. "However, most of the minority presence grants are either $900 or $1,500 a year. The most that we offer in any other stu- dent financial aid grant is $800 a year. So any of those students would lose money Stelma said still other Minority Presence Grant recipients are not eli- gible for other kinds of financial aid, including the North Carolina Need- Based Grant, ECU Crant or the Supplemental Grant. All three are need-based grants and open to all stu- dents. "Some of the $1,500 Minority Presence Grant students are not what you would call the classically needy students, so they are not really eli- gible for other kinds of financial aid Stelma said. "So they would lose a source of funding and possibly be forced into a position of increasing their loan debt Stelma said one of the ideas be- hind Minority Presence Grant is to reduce student loan debt as well as to make up for past discriminating practices. Stelma said if the scholarship programs were canceled, she feared that some minority students would not be able to finish their education, and the university would lose an im- portant aspect of campus life - di- versity. "Both of the programs help re- cruit academically talented and well- prepared minority students, who turn around, of course, and help recruit other students Stelma said. "They attract students who are very like themselves, so I think the program is working. I would hate to see us lose any one of those programs L BOMB from page 1 companies, Copeland said.

He refused to describe the scene inside the room after some company executives were allowed into the build- ing Monday afternoon. He said he did not know whether the package-bomb was delivered to Bullis' office or if she carried it into the room. BTI officials said they were not aware of any threats against the com- pany. "It would be pure speculation to comment on any motive on why this happened - such an insane act to hap- pen Copeland said. Police had not immediately iden- tified suspects, Bert said. "I really can't understand why anyone would want to do harm or damage to our employees said Kim Chapman, BTI executive vice presi- dent for marketing. Employees gathered around pay telephones at a shopping mall across the street from the building after the blast. Many wondered whether the mail bomb was the work of the Unabomber, an elusive serial bomber blamed for three deaths and 23 inju- ries since 1978. But authorities said the package did not appear to be from the Unabomber, whose targets have in- cluded high-tech companies and uni- versities. "At this point it does not appear to be the work of the Unabomber said George Grotz, spokesman for the FBI and the Unabom task force in San Francisco. "Our investigation is con- tinuing.

Or were they actually stolen. No one knows since the investigation was called to an abrupt halt. Somehow The El bo got the labels, now tell us how. ECU is supposed to be ridding itself of its "party school" image and has spent a great deal of money in the process. In recent years, the university has undertaken projects such as the new student recreation center, the addition to Joyner Library and the opening of basketball's Williams Arena - all to draw more students and to become considered a more prominent institution of higher learn- ing. So, after all the efforts that have been made and are continu- ing to be made to improve the university's image, why hasn't the university actively continued to investigate the possible SGA in- volvement with The Elbo, a downtown club that sent a promotional newsletter and free passes to orientation students? The letter states that The Elbo has been "one of ECU's stu- dents favorite gathering spots for 25 years" and encourages the students to use the free passes and visit the establishment during orientation. Surely, this was not on the university's planned list of orientation activities. This is exactly the type of association, ECU students and drink- ingpartying, that the university has invested time and money to dispel. Surely, they are not just going to let this go. As reported in recent TEC issues, official East Carolina Univer- sity labels, with the names and addresses of orientation students, were only available to university organizations and were requested by three: the Student Leadership Development which had not picked up its label at the time of the incident, Army ROTC, which were mailed out under supervision and then there were those ordered by SGA. The use of these labels by the Elbo implied that the users were connected with and approved by the university. After some parents complained about the letters, the investiga- tion began and SGA notified ECU Police that someone had broken into their office. During the investigation, Dean of Students Ronald Speier told TEC he had concluded that The Elbo had used photo- copies of the labels in the possession of the SGA office. However, after following a few leads, little else has been done to find out how the labels got from the SGA office into the hands of The Elbo's manager. Who is responsible? In the past, investigations into other student organizations like the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and its hazing incident did not stop until the responsible persons were found. How is this different? Isn't this also a mar against the university's image? Or can a person be exempt from taking responsibility for a wrong-doing if he or she is an SGA official? If the university, or SGA is not to blame in this matter then why stop the investiga- tion? Let's fmd the culprit and stop this from occurring in the future.

Tale of a hungry surgeon I I've said before that I keep a watchful eye on the news, trying to find the pulse of current events, to find out what direction we're all mov- ing in. Occasionally, something comes along that appalls me to the extent of rattling my faith in the Human Condition. Recently, I heard about Dr. Raymond Sattler, the Wilmington neurosurgeon who, at the pinnacle of his already sketchy operating ca- reer, walked out of the OR in the middle of surgery to go to lunch, leav- ing his patient's brain exposed for 25 minutes. He was quoted as saying he was going out for a snack, and left no doctor in his place when he left. The patient 55-year-old Mary Jo Ridenour, was on the operating table with two brain aneurysms, one of which Sattler clipped before popping out Ridenour had a stroke while she was on the table and is now sport- ing a case of permanent brain dam- age and repeatedly talks to her dead relatives in the present tense. Imagine - nearly a half-hour stretched out in surgery with your brain sitting right out in plain view, unnecessarily, all because this schmuck neurologist got the hanker- ing for a Payday 4 As the rest of the story unfolded, though, I suppose I wasn't surprised at his irresponsibility. Sattler had a history of showing up late for sur- gery at Cape Fear Memorial, while the patients waited under anesthe- sia for him to show up. And on top of everything else, this isn't the first time he's had his medical privileges yanked out from under him. Two years and nine mal- Brian Wright Opinion Columnist Imagine nearly a half-hour in surgery with your brain sitting right out in plain view. practice suits ago, he was barred from the operating rooms of the two hospitals in Wilmington and lost his malpractice insurance. Six weeks later, he had a new insurance com- pany and had reopened his practice. What next? I'll tell you what next - he's being afforded the chance to regain his license again Granted, should he choose to accept the medi- cal board's terms, he'll be under some pretty tight restrictions, but he will still be reissued his license to wield a scalpel. Somehow, I have the feeling that in a less tolerant world, Doctor Duck- Out would be stripped of his skin as well as his license and be banished to the dark side of the moon to wail his fate like some eternally damned soul from Dante's Inferno. I also have a feeling that Sattler knows this as well. Rather than press his already paper-thin luck, he's declined to give surgery another shake and is selling his house. The state Medical Board might be forgiving, but the people of Wilmington and Pender County, Ridenour's residence, are probably not. Sattler will be lucky to make it out of town and escape stoning and being thrown to the alligators at the N.C. State Zoo. The oath that doctors are sup- posed to follow, the Hippocratic Oath states, "First, do no harm I don't think that Hippocrates had the foresight at the time to make rule number one, "Do not abandon thy patient for the sake of thine munchies But then, ideas such as these are pretty much supposed to be both unspoken and common sense. Even Hawkeye and B.J. of "MASH" fame had the brains not to nip out in the middle of surgery to their tent for one of their homemade martinis. And that was television, after all even the guys who wrote scripts for the "Electric Cyclops" had a rudi- mentary inkling of how doctors were supposed to behave. No, Sattler strikes me as one of those medical wretches who started pursuing a medical career because he was able to get all the parts out of the Mow-faced patient on the Milton-Bradley Operation board without touching the sides. Same guy, 30 years later, still leaving half- way through for Kool-Aid and a cookie. The moral of this story, people, is to be careful of who you hire to carve a window in your skull. You'd think that the $100,000 fee could at least buy a box of appetite suppressants. Anesthesia for the pa- tient, Dexatrim for the surgeon.

NRA: teaching our reps how to use money to get what it wants Rep. Billy Creech's colleagues pressed him for answers about a bill he recently introduced in the N.C. General Assembly. The Johnston County Republican had sponsored legislation to prohibit local govern- ments from passing gun laws in their own communities. Some legislators wanted to know if his bill would al- low people to brandish weapons at town hall meetings or open gun shops in quiet neighborhoods. Creech couldn't answer the questions. He didn't author the leg- islation with his name on it. Lobby- ists from the National Rifle Associa- tion wrote it instead. He only intro- duced legislation handed to him by the NRA. "It shows you how cocky the NRA is - pushing a bill the spon- sor can't even explain said Rep. Mickey Michaux. Even Creech admit- ted gun lobbyists "had drafted it to their satisfaction This year the National Rifle As- sociation is busy writing bills for leg- islators like Creech. They are also busy handing out checks. It comes as no surprise the NRA gave Billy Creech a $500 check to help him get reelected. He is just one of many representatives getting money from the gun lobby. They gave $22,625 to those expected to vote on gun legislation this year. That might explain why several bills written by NRA lobbyists have passed the State House. One such bill promises to legalize concealed weapons. On the surface it sounds innocuous for people to get permits to hide their weapons. However, a deeper look at the bill reveals legis- lation sloppily written by gun lob- byists. The bill will allow North Caro- Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist It comes as no surprise the NRA gave Billy Creech a $500 check to help him get reelected. linians over 21 years of age to apply for a concealed weapons permit. It prohibits "habitual" felons from ob- taining a concealed weapons license. The bill also sets guidelines for former mental patients to obtain a permit The State Bureau of Inves- tigation would have to grant a per- mit if an individual meets all of the criteria. North Carolina law defines a "habitual" felon as someone con- victed of three or more felonies af- ter reaching eighteen years of age. Those with fewer than three felonies will be eligible for a concealed weap- ons permit. The local crack dealer with a string of misdemeanors, a long arrest record and only two felony convictions, will be able to carry concealed weapons under this bill. This shows how out of touch the NRA has become. The law will also require former mental patients committed to psy- chiatric hospitals to have a note from their doctor to carry a con- cealed weapon. It makes me feel safer to know John Henkley would have to have a note from his doctor before he can hide a .22 caliber un- der his coat. It's convenient that mental patients won't have to go outside and get their guns before they start shooting. In the old West, people used to have to check their guns at the door in some establishments. The bill writing lobbyists don't want that in- convenience. Property owners will not be able to prohibit concealed weapons in their establishments. For example, a restaurant owner cannot put a sign up reading "wear you weapons on your hip or don't wear them in my place It is unreason- able business owners cannot set rules like this in their establish- ments. Republican Senator Henry McKoy argued giving business own- ers that right would inconvenience gun toting patrons. It should not be a surprise that McKoy also received healthy checks from gun interests. "It's a clear example of the interest groups running the legislature Rep. Mickey Michaux complained. The bill flew through the State House despite Michaux's logic. "I don't believe everyone armed means less violence Greenville Po- lice Chief Charles Hinman com- mented about the bill. Thirty-five police chiefs from across North Carolina gathered on June 6 to com- plained how they were not consulted about the mass of pro-gun legisla- tion flying through the N.C. House. They argued the General Assembly should consider what professional law enforcement thinks about the legislation. Perhaps they should mail a check to the Republican lead- ership before they plead their case. e know you've got an opinion, so voice it! Zi The East Carolinian welcomes all Letters to the Editor.

During a time when many summer theaters are having to shut down, he explained, East Carolina Summer Theatre is thriv- ing. He was genuinely affected by the support of the community and graciously passed on his apprecia- tion. The Theatre Company itself proved worthy of the patronage as they danced and sang a wonderful rendition of "West Side Story A huge cast with a great orchestra made the entire production come to life. The Summer Theatre sched- ule had begun in grand style. Last week the second of the three summer plays, "The Odd Couple was performed and was even better than the first. Written by Neil Simon, tl play tells the story of two friends who live to- gether for a time after their wives left them. Humorous from begin- ning to end, "The Odd Couple" unfolds with endearing characters that each have their own laughable nuances. The first act of the play opens with a poker ses- sion in the home of Oscar Madi- son (William M c N u 1 t y. Present at the game are Speed (Tim Mechanic) and Murray (David Denson). Oscar is in the kitchen during the opening moments of the play, making sandwiches. "Brown or green sandwiches?" he offers upon entering the scene. The Odd Couple" unfolds with endering characters that each have their own laughable nuances. Oscar's apartment in that opening act almost defies descrip- tion. The entire apartment is in complete disarray. Socks litter the floor, ashtrays are full, clothes are strewn everywhere, a Penthouse lies among litter on a chair and garbage lies ev- erywhere. Dur- ing an argument over pretzels the entire bag spills onto the floor and no one even thinks to pick them up. Oscar, it seems, cannot pull himself to- gether enough to clean since his wife left him. During the poker game Os- car gets a call from the wife of the sixth player, Felix Unger (Kenny Morris). Felix's wife explains that she kicked Felix out of the house and now Felix is suicidal.

Judge Dredd, based on the comic book character cre- ated by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquebriza, has all the basic ingredients for a typical action film: a good guy. a bad guy, a love interest, comic relief, and a plot to tie everything together. As for the sci-fi angle, the movie takes place in the Our reviewer tells Hollywood how to do genre correctly Dale Williamson Staff Writer How important is talent when it comes to filmmaking? Well, judging from the recent releases of Judge Dredd and Species I would have to say that talent can make or break a film.

Unfortunately, the special effects are the best part of what little Dredd has to offer. Instead of tapping into the sci-fi potential of Dredd, Director Danny Cannon and writers William Wisher and Steven DeSouza turn their project into just another Sylvester Stallone actioner destined to collect dust on the video shelf. As the title character, Stallone dishes out terrible lines and turns in an awful perfor- mance. He may look the part, but he sure can't act it. The rest of the cast is either un- der-used (what is Max Von Sydow doin& here?) or just serve no real pur- pose (what is Rob Schneider doing here?). Dredd does have its moments, though. Some great animatronics bring an awesome robot to life, and an incredible make-up job creates one of the most disturbing cyborgs ever seen on the screen. As for the other highlights of this picture, they were done better in other films. The flying motorcycle chase sequence is enter- taining, but Return of the Jedi did the same thing much better 12 years ago. But what about the plot, you ask? Unfortunately, nothing new is offered. The story feels like a series of other films strung together. The future is in chaos, so an elite law enforcement group known as the Judges are formed. However, one of the high council members wants to revamp an abandoned cloning program so he can create and control a force of super Judges. To carry out his plan, he helps Dredd's evil clone Rico (an eye-bug- ging Armand Assante) escape from prison and frames Dredd for murder. The rest of the film has Stallone, along with pals Rob Schneider and Diane Lane, trying to set things right Judge Dredd ulti- mately fails from laziness. It's okay to borrow from other films as long as something new See DREDD page 7 Just how many people can you fit on the bandwagon before the axle breaks? In the year 2010, will people be saying that the '90s were the decade of the bar chord in music history? I think so. What I'm getting to is the Circle Jerks' new CD. It seems that this integral punk band of the '80s has taken themselves out of mothballs to see if they can make a little money in the wake of the Green Day punk revival. The Circle Jerks new release, 15 years after their first album Group Sex, is entitled Oddities, Abnormali- ties, and Curiosities. Not to date myself, but I remember when they were one of the leading bands of the American punk scene. They were one of the charter members and standard bearers of original L.A. hard-core punk, contemporaries of Black Flag and TSOL, Fear and The Minutemen. You would think that reaching your mid-30s would cause one to mel- low and lose the outright anger and rage that drove one to be a part of such a movement. Indeed it has, and the Circle Jerks aren't what they used to be. The band still retains their deadlocked front man Keith Morris and Greg Hetson on guitars. There are two new faces on drums and bass, Keith Clark and Zander Schloss. All the members admit that they are try- ing to evolve away from the original formula of punk that took them so far in the first place. "It's a little more complicated guitarfst Greg Hetson agrees, "but it's still basically punk rock We were just being pissed off in 1980 and now we're more introspective, emotional and personal, rather than simply re- actionary I thought punk was sup- posed to be reactionary and uncom- plicated musically. When you change those factors does it still remain punk? I doubt it The disc contains 12 tracks that are extremely short; only a few of the songs are longer than three minutes. In comparison to their older stuff, the songs are much more melodic and recognizably slower than the break- neck pace they used to carry. The subject of the songs has changed as well. Keith's lyrics used to be solely concerned with the plastic and oppres- sive aspects of our society. He would scream and rant about life in America and you just knew that he meant it I'm just not so sure about the sincer- ity anymore. Maybe I should stop being so sour and let the boys play what they will. So what if they want to get in with the new wave of punk? If they want to adapt themselves to the punk of the '90s and run the Top 40 race with Green Day and The Offspring then I should be happy about it I need to remind myself that the days of rage, Sid and Nancy, Redd Kross, The Germs and The Exploited are over. This is a new game with new rules. But is the new game as much fun? Shane MacGowan and the Popes The Snake Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor It's a damn shame about the Pogues. They were one of the few truly original bands on an alternative scene flooded with Cure and REM wannabes in the '80s. Their mix of punk and Irish folk music made them one of the most exciting bands of the period. Then their frontman, Shane MacGowan. developed a severe alcohol problem (basically, he was in the pisser for a large portion of his waking hours). His influence on the band decreased with each album. Eventually, the other Pogues kicked him out of the band, and went on to record the bland and lifeless Waiting for Herb. It seemed the Pogues legend was at an end. But now, Shane MacGowan is back. After a string of minor solo projects over the last couple of years, MacGowan has joined with a new band, the Popes, and recorded a new album, The Snake. It's a return to form for MacGowan. All of his favorite topics are here, from alcohol to Catholicism to Irish politics. Musically, the old Pogues staples are back as well, the Irish folk influence kicking in with the first track. On that track, "The Church of the Holy Spook MacGowan and the Popes belt out a fine Irish folk-punk number. In this fast-paced tune, MacGowan spit-slurs lyrics about his wasted life and his salvation through the Church of the Holy Spook (presum- ably the Catholic church). Then, as he's singing the praises of that church in the final verse, he throws in, "The Tao is like a river, so float along with me Following this Eastern sentiment he adds, "I think of Jesus on the cross and I scream out for his pain Ulti- mately, "Holy Spook is more compli- See SNAKE page 7 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. Brandon Wadded Assistant Lifestyle Editor Being an upperclassman, a seasoned student. I'm truly a nocturnal creature. Procrastina- tion has created such a colle- giate species within the student body. Late night cram sessions (and 'late nights') combined with cable television has given rise to the most detested of TV commer- cials, the bastard son of cable programming: psychic phone lines. But it hasn't always been that way. I'm in my mid-twenties and grew up listening to different kinds of music and watching prime time TV. My earliest child- hood memories with regard to music are obviously one of what- ever my parents were listening. As a toddler, my mother fondly recalls a jubilant, dwarf-sized little runt dancing and singing around the house, a youngster without a care in the world. The music I remember most fondly were Motown songs my mother played while I rode shot- gun in her red VW bug. Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and the Pipps, Ray Charles, and of course, the immortal Tempta- tions. These were the musicians of the late '60s early '70s that gave my early childhood "sun- shine on a cloudy day Several years later, in jun- ior high and high school I was hooked on fast-pace action shows like Miami Vice. Seeing Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas chase drug dealers and murderers all over southern Florida gave my Friday nights some meaning somehow. I reluctantly admit that I thought this dynamic duo had it all. They sped around the city in $100,000 sports cars darting in and out of heavy traffic and straight through red lights, chas- ing and subsequently capturing Miami's most ruthless felons. Something that I've yet to fig- ure out is how they could afford tailor-made italian silk suits, scoot across the Miami water- ways in high-dollar speedboats and live on million dollar yachts. Oh well, some mysteries are meant to remain unsolved. What do old Motown artists and Miami Vice have in com- mon? Apparently two celebrities have found their financial wind- falls in 1-900 phone lines. Or, maybe their psychics told them that Psychic Phone Lines were the career choice for past-their- prime celebrities like Dionne and Philip. Last week, while flipping through the channels at about 1:30 a.m Dionne Warwick was hosting her 30-minute infomercial, "The Psychic Friends Network As I reached for a clean razor blade with which to cut my wrists, I decided instead to just change the chan- nel. Surely a $45 per month cable bill serves some purpose. Surely there is programming of some substance, somewhere. To my utter dismay, the channel I stopped on was show- ing "The Philip Michael Thomas Psychic 900 Line That was what I was wait- ing for. Somebody finally made me realize something. I really am tired of all those phony so-called psychic lines, so I sure am glad that for a measly $3.99 a minute Philip Michael Thomas will put me in touch with a real psychic, one that's worth my hard earned money. He cares about my per- sonal relationships, career, and my money. I'm so glad Dionne Warwick and Philip Michael Thomas will selflessly provide me with a real psychic reading from a real live psychic.

While it's appar- ently about a return to old-fashioned values, the closing lines (along with MacGowan's delivery) hints that those values aren't enough to give him peace. Not every song has such artistic notions. The Irish standard Nancy Whiskey for instance is just a drink- ing song. But even drinking songs have their artistic moments. "Nancy Whis- key" casts alcohol as a seductive woman who woos you, ruins you and leaves when the money runs out This theme of love betrayed runs deep through The Snake. Whether it's love of drink, church, country or people, that love comes to a bad end in one way or another, again and again. In "The Song With No Name MacGowan betrays that love himself. It's the story of a man who realizes too late that he had a love so pure and good that he can never love again. Unfortunately, the stupid bastard hurt the one he loved so much that she left him. And now, he would be "lashed and crucified for a single kiss from her Love of country doesn't leave any- body in much better shape.

"Donegal Express" is the story of a lecherous priest who has sleazy sexual liaisons with women all across Ireland. It's an old-fashioned bawdy bar song that's so boldly amoral I have to like it The lyrics are filthy, and I'll spare you most of them here. My favorite part of the song, how- ever, goes like this: "Back in sweet Vir- ginia In the toilet with Lavinia I nearly fucked her brains out And tore her party dress Why is that so im- pressive? MacGowan actually found a name that rhymes with Virginia! It's a hell of a way to end a hell of an album. The Pogues can rot for all I care.

BECRE�T10HAL OREDD from page 5 emerges from the combination. Sadly, this is not what happens here. Dredd is dreadful because the film- makers did not try to breathe new life into a tired idea. Such is not the case with the surprisingly good Species. Director Roger Donaldson and writer Dennis Feldman borrow from other films only to give birth to a genre film that works on many levels. In this sci-fihorror picture. Ben Kingsley heads a secret government organization that creates new life by combining human genes with alien genes received from some unknown source in outer space. After six months, a 12-year-old little girl grows from this combination. Eventually, the government de- cides they need to terminate the project and the little girl along with it. But before Kingsley can carry out his orders, the girl escapes, runs to L.A. and quickly matures into a 20- year-old woman with incredible alien powers. To make matters worse, Sil, our alien friend, also has a need to mate and reproduce. To help hunt Sil down, Kingsley hires government "trouble-shooter" Michael Madsen, empath Forest Whitaker, culture expert Alfred Molina and biologist Marg Helgenberger. With this group in place, an exciting and engaging cat- and-mouse chase is set and carried out with expert talent. The acting all around is excep- tional, including newcomer Natasha Henstridge as the beautiful and men- acing Sil. But what makes Species a gem in this glut of summer movies is i s the fact that in lesser hands this film would just be bad. As opposed to Judge Dredd, there is a sense that the filmmakers were determined to make a good movie. Donaldson doesn't waste time with too much exposition. In the first five minutes we witness Sil's escape from the government lab and imme- diately the chase is on. Still, the film doesn't rush things. Characters are each given a face and are nicely de- veloped. Sil isn't just an evil alien out to kill every human. While she does commit some horrible acts, she is a sympathetic character who is thrown into her own nightmare. Although the Alien influence is evident, Species is its own unique creature in its ability to turn L.As singles' club scene into a hunting ground. The sexuality of the film wprks nicely and isn't exploitative. Tne fact that Sil wants to mate makes the intensity of the film even more haunting. The alien itself is a marvel. De- signed by H.R. Giger, Sil represents a physical, sexual nightmare as ten- tacles shoot from her breasts and scaly blades protrude from her back. Even though Species dues slip into typical Hollywood antics at points, overall it succeeds in offer- ing a fun and intense ride. Species is a reminder that a little talent can carry you a long way. Judge Dredd is a reminder that a bigger budget doesn't mean a better movie. On a scale of one to 10, Judge Dreda rates a four and Species rates an eight. BOOK TRADER 919 DICKINSON AVE Greenville.

JkJJLJ from page 5 ous scene ensues when Felix ar- rives and the five friends try their hardest to act like nothing is wrong. Oscar eventually invites Felix to live with him. Felix decides not to kill himself and instead invests energy into cleaning Oscar's apart- ment. Soon the excessive tidiness of Felix, along with his idiosyn- cratic behaviors (like making bi- zarre noises to try to pop his ears) begin to drive Oscar crazy. When Felix ruins a double date with Gwendolyn (Julia Guichard) and Cecily (Elizabeth Ann Townsend) Pigeon, Oscar finally kicks Felix out. But all ends on a hopeful note. The acting by all cast members gives depth to every character. Martin Rader and Elizabeth Ann Townsend do an especially good job with their characters. Rader gives Roy the prope. amount of composure to keep things calm while still allowing him to have a fit about the heat. Townsend gives Cecily a boisterous, bouncy dispo- sition that made the audience chuckle with her every line. The two leads were equally magnificent. Morris made Felix lik- able while still playing up his neu- rotic traits. Morris used great in- flection for Felix's lines that cre- ated laughter just from the sound of his voice. McNuIty gave Oscar a depth not necessarily written in the script. Several times a pained expression made the audience re- alize cn.t Oscar was not as confi- dent as he would have people be- lieve. Both actors deserve praise for their great performances. The entire cast seemed to be having fun and the final scene leaves the audience with a genu- inely good feeling as the entire cast sits down to play cards. The last production of the sum- mer is Arsenic and Old Lace and if that is even half as good as The Odd Couple, the audience is in for a real treat. Arsenic and Old Lace runs from July 18 through Jury 22 at 8 p.m. at McGinnis with 2 p.m. matinees on July 19 and July 22.

' Last week, the ECU Board of Trustees approved a newly-designed master plan that will increase Dowdy- 'Ficklen Stadium's seating capacity to 46,000 seats by the start of the 1997 football season and ultimately to 60,000 seats. The new master plan comes af- � tcr the Board of Trustees and ECU administration discussed plans with the architects to lower the cost of construction. The architects had pro- vided an estimate of over 26 million �dollars, which included the building �of a new press box, a 1,500-seat club �seating area and a 10,000 seat up- Jper deck. Both the Board of Trust- ees and administration figured they "would not get any state assistance, 5sp an alternative plan was put into �action. "Our top priority was to raise the seating capacity at Dowdy-Ficklen ?Stadium said Pirate Club Executive Director Dennis A. Young. "Our origi- Jnal plan was to have the press box 'and club seating be included in the Jfirst phase, but the seating capacity � seemed to better fit ECU's athletic � department at this time Young said that so far that the � Shared Visions campaign has raised j $8,785,000 of a $9 million dollar goal Jthat was established for Dowdy- I Ficklen Stadium. "The timing was a major factor Jin the design of a new plan he said. "Getting appropriate funds from the General Assembly was not appropri- ate at this time said Young. "We have until December, so now we are going to try to raise $10 million which will include the con- struction of a new Pirate Club build- ing said Young. The new master plan is sec- tioned into four different phases. Phase one, which will bring the ca- pacity to 46,000 seats, includes the construction of an 8,000-seat upper deck on the north side of the sta- dium, as well as permanent seat bleachers in the east end zone. The total cost of phase one is $11.5 mil- lion dollars. "The new seating will help us in many ways said Young. "We will have a legitimate NCAA Division l-A football stadium, and it will also help ECU with conference affiliation Phase two of the plan includes construction of club seating beneath the north side of the upper deck, and the temporary relocation of the press box. Construction of a new press box and the provision for adding 10,000 new seats to the south side are in- cluded in phase three of the master plan. The final phase has the adding of 3,000 to 4,000 seats in the east end zone, which would bring the to- tal capacity of Dowdy-Ficklen sta- dium to 60,000. Members of ECU's Board of Trustees are excited about the expansion. "The more seats you have, the larger the teams you will draw said trustee Ron Dowdy. "The larger sta- dium will definitely help ECU in re- cruiting, and the increased seating capacity will help draw larger schools to Greenville Dowdy, who pledged $1 million to the stadium expansion last year, feels that the ECU athletic depart- ment can only get stronger. "First of all, Mike Hamnck has McPhail ECU's i � lone football awards candidate Photo Courtesy of ECU SID Pirate running back Jerris McPhail is the only ECU player nominated for a postseason football award this season. Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Ask ECU football fans to name a postseason award candidate on this year's roster and they might come up with defensive star Mark Libiano or quarterback Marcus Crandell. Neither player is the answer. Senior running back Jerris McPhail became the only Pirate nominated for a postseason award after being named as one of 35 candidates for the Doak Walker award, honoring the nation's top running back. This may be even more surprising to fans who recall that McPhail played last year as a backup to record-setting tailback Junior Smith. McPhail never reached first-string status last season, but that isn't to say he didn't contribute. The Clinton na- tive rushed for 326 yards on just 73 carries while catching 11 passes for 201 yards. His 18.3-yard reception average was tops on the team, an in- cluded a team-best 67-yard catch ver- sus Central Florida. In addition to all of these offen- sive heroics, McPhail was special- teams coordinator Doug Martin's top kickoff-coverage performer, and was honored at the team banquet for his done a great job so far said Dowdy, referring to the proposed football dates with the University of North Carolina and N.C. State. "The reason for my commitment to ECU is because we are finally graduating athletes, and that is very important to me Photos Courtesy of ECU SID Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, shown here before its first expansion to 35,000 seats, will be expanded to 60,000 (insert) upon completion of the master plan approved last week. Former Pirates excel beyond the NFL ranks TRec ScuAtceA Anthony Brenner Smith, Brenner teammates on '92 Peach Bowl champs Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Two former Pirate football play- ers are making their mark this sum- mer in the profes- sional ranks. Junior Smith, ECU's all-time leading rusher is starting at tailback for the Canadian Football League's Shreveport Pi- rates, while An- thony Brenner, a former ECU placekicker, is kicking for the Arena Football's division-leading Charlotte Rage. Smith, who led ECU in scoring (10 TDs) and all- purpose yards (1,510) last season, was passed on by NFL clubs during this spring's draft and free agent signings. This failure to sign Smith was prima- rily due to the running back's lack of size (5-foot-7, 180 pounds), but by choosing not to sign him, the NFL clubs allowed Shreveport to acquire a talented open field performer that ordinarily would be out of their reach. "We are very impressed with his physical ability Shreveport offensive coordinator Joe Barnes said. "He has blocked much better than we expected him to. and he has wry good hands. When he gets the ball in the open field, he is tough to handle. "He doesn't have breakaway speed, but he is real quick and has great balance. He is real smart and a delight to coach Smith leads the CFL Pirates in rushing with nine carries for 27 yards. Swinging out of the backfield, Smith also caught 5 passes for 43 yards. Shreveport played against the league-leading Calgary Stampeders and star QB Doug Flutie Saturday on ESPN2. The Pirates lost, as Calgary continually put a strong pass-rush on Shreveport QB Billy Joe Tolliver, also a former NFL quarterback. This rush forced Smith to pass block for most of the game. "Last game we had to keep him in the backfield Barnes said. "Our pass protec- tion is not very solid at this point, and we needed him to stay in and block. In the future, we plan to run him more on sweeps and get him more involved in the passing game. "Because of his size, he may have been overlooked by the NFL - but he is a player for this league. He has a lot of talent Brenner kicked at ECU from 1989 to 1992, and enjoyed his best See EXCEL page 9 David Gaskins Recreational Services "He doesn't have breakaway speed, but he is real quick and has great balance. He is real smart and a delight to coach � Joe Barnes Shreveport offensive coordinator The second session of intramu- ral, sports activities opened with a light schedule of action last week due to the July 4th holiday, but most of the teams played at least one contest. In 3-on-3 basketball, a number close games appeared to indicate that the league is well-balanced with a number of competitive teams. The "Three Amigos led by the inside work qf Jim McGee and the heady passing of Brian Haislip, slipped by the "Blue Chips" 44-37, despite a fine shooting game by Steve Crabtree. However, the "Blue Chips" were affected by the loss of George Hollen, who was in- jured "Ward's Team" won by forfeit, while "Flipped, Cleaved & Brewed Fish" defeated "Tixe" 43-31 in the other contest. Ryan Brewer and Cleave Nix had strong games for the "Flipped" bunch, while Danie Lee and Wayne Gendron led "Tixe In Softball, as has been the pattern for most of the summer seasons, rain was the big winner, once again wiping out the men's games for the entire week. In Co-Rec, "Mel's Team" won by for- feit over "Kegel's who almost have enough to play, and are still ex- pected to be a team to be reckoned with before the season ends. In the other game, the "Economics Society"rode the offen- sive punch of Fred Baldwin and Dana Theiden, who scored three runs apiece, to outlast "Ward's Team" 13-7. Steve Gowan and Brenda Swain lead the offense for "Ward's scoring two times each. Upcoming activities include the Go Kart Races, to be held at the Greenville Fun Park on Tuesday.

The State Finals Golf Tournament will be held in Greensboro's Bryan Park on Oct. 16- 17. "The State Finals includes about 2,000 participants said Project Man- ager Lynn Allender. "We are a bit unique in that we have a statewide network and preliminary games. Most states only have one or the other, but we have state finals as a culmination of the year-round pro- cess State Finals is the culmination of 49 local Senior Games programs of both athletic and artistic compe- tition across the state. The winners from each sport per age category are eligible to attend the state finals. "To compete, you must have par- ticipated in one of the local 49 games and finished first, second or third in your specific competition Allender said. At the State Finals, there will also be a Fun Walk of one mile for any athlete who participated in one of the 49 local competitions, regard- less of how they finished. The North Carolina Senior Games is a non-profit organization that provides year-round health pro- motion and education for adults ages 55 and older. According to Allender. they also organize various walking, dancing and arts programs to chal- lenge participants to stay active. "We offer wellness organizations that promote good health, while pro- viding training for participants she said. "We also offer publications, consulting and support for all 49 lo- cal games, plus clinics and workshops for seniors year-round Sometimes overlooked among the festivities are the 700-plus vol- unteers that give their time to sup- port the State Games. However, they are just one ingredient in continuing the program's success. "We have a large percentage of volunteers that return each year Allender said.

Panthers relax season ticket plans (AP) - As the Carolina Panthers moved closer to their inaugural sea- son, it became obvious that the idea of making 10 long rides to see the new team wasn't sitting well with all fans. So the Panthers, faced with the prospect of playing their 1995 home games in front of thousands of empty seats, unveiled a relaxed season ticket purchasing plan Monday. Instead of limiting fans to buying season pack- ages that contain tickets for all 10 games at Clemson's Memorial Sta- dium, the Panthers are offering two- and three-game plans. "It's a response to what we've been hearing from fans Mark Richardson. Carolina's director of business operations, said Monday at Wofford College, where the Panthers open training camp later this week. "What they said was that they'd like the option to see just a few games So far. the Panthers have sold 45,000 of the 10-game ticket packages for Clemson. "Starting at 45,000 in a stadium that is a temporary facility is quie an accomplishment, at least from a player's perspective probable Caro- lina starting quarterback Frank Reich said. But it's not nearly enough to be considered a sellout at Clemson. Beginning Wednesday, Carolina will offer a pair of three-game pack- ages - one with Denver, the New York Jets and San Francisco, the other with the New York Giants, St. Louis Rams and Atlanta - and a pair of two-game packages - one with Tampa Bay and Arizona, the other with New Orleans and Indianapolis. Prices for the packages, to be available through the end of the month, range from $57 to $195 per seat. � - ' mm .��� �Illlf ��- � II11 The East Carolinian Wednesday, July 12, 1995 MCPHAIL from page 8 efforts. Ask McPhail about being se- lected as a candidate for the trophy named after the legendary SMU run- ner and he is unequivocal, to say the least "Yes, it is a big honor, but I am not really concerned about awards and stuff like that McPhail said. "I just want this team to win games - nothing else matters as much. I feel like if I can get in the flow and be consistent then all of that other stuff will take care of itself Other candidates for the award include Stephen Davis (Auburn), Leeland McElroy (Texas A&M), Mike Alstott (Purdue), Eddie George (Ohio State), and Warrick Dunn (Florida State). Does McPhail feel that he be- longs in this elite class of players? "I feel like some of that is a lot of hype McPhail said.

"I can play as well or better than any of them, it is just a matter of go- ing out every game and proving it. If I get outside on the corner, I don't feel like anyone is going to catch me. Plus, I feel like I am a more versatile back, because I can run the ball and catch out of the backfield or as a wideout" McPhail led ECU in receiving in 1993 with 34 catches for a 20-yard average playing strictly as a receiver. He moved back to tailback last sea- son, primarily to prepare for the 1995 campaign. ECU offensive coordinator and running backs coach Todd Berry knows a good runner when he sees one, having coached NFL stars Thurman Thomas and Barry Sand- ers at Oklahoma State University. "Jerris had a really good spring Berry said. "He's over 200 pounds, has been clocked at 4.39 in the 40- yard dash and is the kind of player who likes to dish it out. Not a lot of players on our team like to tackle the guy. I expect him to have real simi- lar numbers as Junior Smith accounted for 1,510 all- purpose yards last year, and reached the end zone 10 times. Fans and op- posing defenses should expect to see McPhail come out of relative obscu- rity and equal, or better, those num- bers. All of his success isn't surpris- ing to McPhail, who always felt like he belonged as a starter on a Divi- sion I-A football team. After a sea- son at both Wake Forest University and Mount Olive College, McPhail came to ECU and redshirted during the 1992 season. McPhail played football at Clinton High School gaining All- State honors after rushing for 1,500 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior. The Dark Horses won the state 2A championship that year with an un- defeated record. Once a Dark Horse always a Dark Horse, as McPhail is indeed a longshot for the 1995 Doak Walker Award. The winner will be honored after the season and given a $10,000 scholarship in his name to his university's general scholarship fund. If McPhail can maximize his po- tential, the ECU running game won't miss a beat and his longshot chances might not seem so long, after all.
