Courtesy of USA Today Fraudulent investment costs ECU Investment scanda causes loss on ECU's $2.5 million investment Wendy Rountree Assistant News Editor At the end of last month, a three- year-long investment fraud was uncov- ered by the Common Fund, one of the investment groups that manage ECU's money. As a result, ECU will not get the investment returns on the $2.4 million that where expected, but the university is far from broke. "The Common Fund is a invest- ment management group established for the management of endowments and pension plans for colleges and uni- versities said Richard Brown, vice chancellor for business affairs. "It is a huge organization ECU is not the only university that will not see a return on its in- vestment. Common Fund manages over $20 billion in assets for 1.400 colleges, universities and schools. Brown said that ECU's invest- ments are separated into two groups: the ECU Foundation, which is a fund- raising corporation, and an endow- ment fund. "There is an investment commit- tee which handles the policies regard- ing investments for both the Founda- tion and the endowment fund Brown said. "Those two entities in total equal $12 million of investments The university splits those invest- ments among three money managers. �The Common Fund is onlv one of them Brown said. "It's the con- cept of diversification. Don't put all your money in one place The investments include both stocks and bonds. Of the $12 million, the Common Fund handles about $2.5 million of ECU's money. The Common Fund then takes the $2.5 million and places a certain amount of money with dif- ferent brokerage houses and invest- ment managers. Then the brokerage houses and investment managers in- vest the money in their specialties. which could be growth stocks, value stocks or bonds. "They (Common Fund people) don't do any investment directly Brown said. "All the Common Fund is doing is monitoring the perfor- mance of those other people who are actually making the decision to invest in this stock or that stock Fraud came into the picture en First Capital Strategists, one of these investment managers, discovered the wrong doings of one of their traders. Kent Ahrens, on June 29. Common Fund had invested a lot of its money (universities' money) with First Capital. According to the July 14, 1995 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, Julie L. Nicklin said, "First Capital would lend stock holdings in the Common Fund's accounts to large brokerage firms in return for cash, in order to increase earning. Ahrens was in charge of an index-arbitage program that would use that cash to buy stock- market futures equal in value to those stock, profiting from the difference in prices between them. "The problem with his trade, ac- cording to the Common Fund, was that he didn't buy enough futures and left himself unhedged against market rises and in violation of the company's contract with the fund See INVEST page 3 Board of visitors assists chancellor Joann Reed Staff Writer Early in July.

According to Walter Williams, board of visitors vice chairman, a former ECU graduate and owner of Trade Oil Company, it is the responsi- bility of each board member to pro- mote and support the positive image of the university.

"Anytime there's a sense that there are problems or policies have not been reviewed for a length of time, the board will re- view them The decision to review the policy came after a highly publicized scan- dal at the University of North Caro- lina at Chapel Hill, where tenured professor James Williams admitted to having an extramarital affair with a student and to paying the student from a trust fund he was responsible for. UNC-Chapel Hill officials are now trying to dismiss Williams. The Daily Tar Heel, UNC-Chapel Hill's student newspaper, has re- ported the incidents several times, and is continuing coverage of the pro- cedures for Williams' dismissal. Will- iams admitted to having intercourse with several students in his office over the course of a few years. He was finally detected when a routine audit was performed on the trust fund he paid his girlfriend from. Wil- liams denied any charges for quite a while. ECU was also recently involved with a facultystudent relationship ending with the resignation of Assis- tant Police Chief John Taylor earlier this month. Current policy prohibits amorous relations between faculty and students. TEC published an ar- ticle last week concerning sexual ha- rassment policies and what action students could take. Any student or employee who believes he or she is a victim of sexual harassment should talk to Dr. Mary Ann Rose, assistant to the chancellor for the equal em- ployment office. Worthington said she is unsure of how long the review will take, or what the results might be. "There's no set time, the board and its committees meet monthly - generally, it's a matter of months Worthington said. "They'll be mak- ing decisions and recommendations for a final report She said the need to review the controversial issue came from con- cerned parents, press and board members. The board is also review- ing academic advising policies and minority recruitment processes across the state. $ r.Y.i. $ 5TUPLNT E-MPLYE-6 CAN poC up pay cVuyis 0 MNpayalk 31 oz Notify TAJCJR PE.PARTME-NT6 VitRE.

Inmates clean up local counties Toby Russ Staff Writer I HH Hi Don't be alarmed if you see in- mates walking down the highway, no prison breaks have been reported. Nearby Greene County is home to an inmate labor program that has set a precedent for the rest of the state's correction system. Greene Correctional Center was chosen for the pilot Community Work Program in May 1994 to put more prisoners to work and to save taxpay- ers money. "We started the program with three squads of 14 prisoners just over a year ago, and now we have eight squads with anywhere from nine to 14 prisoners in each squad said Russell Ginn, superintendent of Greene Correctional Center. "If every- one is healthy and the weather per- mits, we have a maximum of 126 pris- oners out working each day Greene Correctional Center in- mates perform labor-intensive jobs such as clearing brush and debris from roadways. Twelve other prisons throughout the state have followed Greene County's lead by working at jobs such as cleaning beach fronts, clearing storm debris and paint- ing public build- ings. The mini- mum-security prisoners are highly-visible when working in the community because they each wear a safety vest with INMATE stamped on the back in large block let- INMATES AT WORK THE COMMUNITY PROGRAM January to June 1995 PrisonNumber of ProjectsTotal inmate man-hoursSome of the communities where inmates have workedTypes of projects Carteret C.C.4319,798Beaufort, Jacksonville, Morehead City, NewportCutting brush, clearing trash Duplin C.C.5716,648Duplin County, Creenevers, Kenansville, Magnolia, Mt Olive, Onslow County, WallaceRemoving storm debris, cleaning up tire dump, cutting brush, clearing trash Greene C.C.15478,988Greene County, Jones, Kinston, Lenior, Princeville, Snow Hill, Wilson CountyCutting brush, clearing debris Orange C.C.62,027Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham County, Orange County, RoxboroClearing brush, trash pick-up Courtesy of Depar taunt of CorrectionGraphic by Celeste Wilson "The prisoners go out and do work that otherwise would not get done because of lack of funding or manpower or for some other ters.

"All in- mates assigned to the program are within 60 months of re- lease or parole, and ' we wouldn't put anybody who is dangerous to the community out there Ginn said. "We check up on their perfor- mance from time to time, so we don't have to do so much looking in the bushes for people Inmates are moved to different job sites frequently. "We provide labor for short- term projects that last no longer than 10 working days, so we move around quite a bit Ginn said. Prisoners perform the work for state and iocal government agen- cies at no cost "We provide everything from transportation of the inmates to the tools they use Ginn said. "The Community Work Program differs from other inmate work programs because it is free of charge for these government agen- cies and every- thing is provided by us Since the beginning of the Com- munity Work Program last summer, inmates have spent several thousand hours working on more than 700 com- munity service projects, saving thou- sands of tax dollars. The number of state prisoners working or training for jobs has increased to 16,000. The program has been especial beneficial to rural areas like Greene County. "The prisoners go out and do work that otherwise would not get done because of lack of funding or manpower or for some other reason Ginn said. "These rural communities just cannot afford the labor for jobs like cleaning gutters and curbs in Snow Hill, and the inmates do a good job making the area look better Contrary to what most people believe, most prisoners perform some kind of labor while serving time for their crime. "The majority of inmates .do work Ginn said. "An inmate who is working is easier to manage and work- ing reduces inmate idleness, which makes the time go faster for the in- mate Ginn believes the community work program can only help North Carolina.

The East Carolinian Wednesday, July 26, 1995 Cliff's Notes give readers wider view of culture (CPS) - If anyone doubts aca- demic multiculturalism has arrived, maybe they should take a trip to the campus bookstore and scan through the Cliff's Notes titles. Alongside such dyed-in-the-wool staples as Beowulf and Great Expec- tations , the familiar black-and-yellow study guide's newest titles include The Autobiography of Malcom A Bless Me, I'ltima and 20 other minority titles. For years, the study guide offered desperate students notes and plot syn- apses of the "best books never read Yet while Cliffs Notes offerings were once limited to the classics, a prolif- eration of African-American. Hispanic and Asian-American-centered litera- ture courses has opened up a whole new marketing opportunity to the publisher. "It was like a domino effect said Cliffs Notes Editor Gary Carey. "If you're teaching American literature, you're mandated to teach books writ- ten by women, Asian-Americans, Afri- can-Americans. Mexican-Americans and Native Americans. And so these are the kinds of authors being taught Carey said teachers begged the company to come out with guides to the books their students have been studying, such as The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan and Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. Of the eight titles the Nebraska- based publisher will release for the 1995-96 school year, only one - the science-fiction clas- sic Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury - was written by a white man. Yet Carey said the decision to ex- pand its title selec- tions has nothing to do with the company's desire to portray itself as politically correct. "It's where the money is he said. Cliff's Notes target students in 10th to 12th grades with its 225 titles, although there are a number of books like The Scarlet Letter and Macbeth - which annually vie for Cliff's Notes' The new guides try to reach today's TV- saturated readers by containing more visuals, such as maps and genealogy charts.

Cliffs Notes has pub- lished guides to books by ethni- cally and ra- cially diverse authors in the past, but they were few. Those titles include Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. The new guides, in addition to filling the Notes' multicultural void, try to reach today's TV-saturated read- ers by containing more visuals, such as maps and genealogy charts. They have become heavy on analysis and less dependent on plot. And glossa- ries galore explain unfamiliar terms, which are especially useful in books laden with foreign words, idiomatic English and Biblical references. And what about the millions of students who buy only the familiar yellow-and-black stapled booklets, rather than using them to supplement their assigned readings? Teachers tell Carey that those students tend to do poorly because they rarely crack open the Cliff's Notes, either.

United airlines this month sent a memo to travel agents saying the carrier is targeting several markets where fliers are using hidden-city fares. They work like this: A traveler wants to fly from San Francisco to Denver. United's one-way fare is $532. But a one-way fare from San Francisco to Colo- rado Springs. Colo with a connec- tion in Denver is $129 - the "hid- den-city" fare. Get off in Denver. Savings: $350. Such examples can be found on dozens of routes. "A lot of companies are asking �travel agents to do it, and travel agents suggest it travel industry lawyer Jeffrey Miller says. "It's risky though Using hidden-city tickets isn't illegal, but airlines say it violates their rules. Most travel agents don't ap- prove of the practice. Airlines usually spot fliers us- ing hidden-city ticket fares when they fail to get on connecting flights. When airlines catch fliers us- ing hidden- city fares, they can can- cel return reservations and make them pay higher fares to return home. Terry Tr i p p 1 e r. publisher of the Airfare Report, says he and many of his read- ers have used hidden- city fares. He has never been caught be- cause "I know what I'm doing and how to behave To avoid detection, Trippler uses one airline out and another for the return trip. "Travel agents who encourage that type of activity among travelers can expect us to take action �Tim Smith, American Airlines Another mistake travelers make is checking luggage. Their suitcase goes to their scheduled fi- nal destination. Trippler and many of his read- ers pay $45 or so to ship luggage to their hotel by overnight delivery. United isn't the only one taking a hard look at hidden- city ticketing. Continental, Northwest and American also are considering tighten- ing their policies. "Travel agents who encourage that type of activity among travelers can expect us to take ac- tion American Air- lines' Tim Smith said. The airlines are cracking down on hidden-city fares as the number of such fares grows. They're on the rise because ma- jor airlines are matching fares of- fered, by discount carriers at com- peting airports in order to protect market share. 1 IN V �d A from page 1 Brown said this form of invest- ment is a kind of gambling; and mat First Capital had earned an extra $51 million for the Common Fund over a 15-year period. "Let's say I own a stock, and it's worth a $1,000 a share Brown said. "If on the futures market someone believes it's going to be worth a $1,050 a share two months from now, they may offer me a $1,040 for it, but I have to deliver it two months from now. So I sell them the right to the stock for two months from now. If the stock goes up to $1,050,1 deliver the stock, and they have a stock that's worth $1,050. They only paid $1,040, so they make a $10 profit. "If the stock doesn't go up to $1,050 or even a $1,040, they don't want to buy that stock because they could go out and buy it some place else. It's very much like a gamble when a company is doing it without cover- ing its buy and sell options with a hedge. What they're doing is they sell then they'll buy and the difference between on the same stock is the profit Brown said Ahrens sold a right to the stock without buying the hedge to protect it from going up too much. "He offered to sell a stock for $1,050 Brown said. "The stock went up to $1,100. He hadn't bought a hedge, so he lost - this is what they estimated - $100, 000 in that initial trade Ahrens then concealed his loss from his company, and over a three year span tried to "play the market" to make up for the lost money. "That's where the fraud enters in Brown said. Ahrens lost more and more money. By the time he was found out, the Common Fund had lost $128 mil- lion in earnings. Brown said it took First Capital and Common Fund a long time to dis- cover Ahrens because he was skillful at concealing his dealings. When the Common Fund ordered an "almost routine" audit of what he was doing at First Capital, Ahrens went to his bosses and revealed the entire situation. Brown said the Common Fund has brought the university high earn- ings on its money and doubts that the committee will drop Common Fund because of this incident "This is a relatively minor anomaly in their performance Brown Parkviezv I Kingston Place is now KINGSTON CONDOMINIUMS New Look - New Management New and newly renovated 1 and 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo units, large and small, furnished or unfurnished, with washers and dryers, free cable and water.

"It (the university) lost a small portion of the return on the invest- ment that we would have had he said. "We didn't lose any principle (original amount handled by Common Fund). We're just not going to make as much money as we would have oth- erwise Common Fund broke the $2.5 million into an equity fund and a bond fund. The money was invested over an 11 month period. "On our equity fund, we would have earned for the 11 months 13.6 percent, which is pretty good earn- ing Brown said. "We would have earned another 1.4 percent had this not occurred. On the bond fund, we lost 1.9 percent, but still earned 10.7. When you average all of this out, it's about a 1.2 percent lower rate of re- turn than we would of had. Since this portfolio was about one-third of our total portfolio, the effect on the total return of our whole investment port- folio is less than one-half a percent. "That's the benefit of being di- versified in many funds Brown said. "If something goes bad in one, the other ones compensate ur9Ssi&tls are only $2 for zmvords with a valid student I.D, 355 1099 $ ? Located 3 Miles West of Greenville on 264-A at Dealers Auto Auction ZZZZZZZ zzzzzz 'sssssssssssss er aammumammimmmm Wednesday, July 26, 1995 The East Carolinian 4 Our View a�����a��s�.i It's been a unique summer in Greenville, complete with an SGA scandal, the resignation of the Assistant Police Chief and the ever- present heat. Live up your three-week vacation because fall semester is just around the corner. With three days left in summer school, we at TEC have one thing to say - whew! For those of us who have accomplished as close to noth- ing as humanly possible, the image of a fall semester com- plete with two newspapers a week, football games and a regu- lar class schedule sounds very inviting. But to the majority - those who have slaved over their texts for the past 10 weeks - the end of summer school means several short weeks until beginning the burnout cycle once again. Summers in Greenville have always been infamous for fun and relaxation, but this summer seems a little different. While usually the summer means empty bar stools at Chico's, no lines at BW3 and plenty of room in the mosh pit at The Attic, this summer has brought a larger crowd to the Emer- ald City and primarily to downtown. If the overcrowded downtown scene was the only down- fall to the summer of'95 in Greenville, things wouldn't be so bad. But summer school students have had to contend with hikes to Todd Dining Hall to get a real meal, delayed pay- checks and scandal after scandal involving our university's trusted officials. To make matters worse, orientation partici- pants, and their parents, couldn't find anywhere better to park than in our spaces - the same ones that cost us 70 bucks. But on the bright side, summer school means playing intramurals twice a week, scantily dressed men (and women) and road trips to the beach. All of this without an ounce of guilt. It's not every day that you have the time to fill your cooler full of beverages and head east for the day to soak up the rays and the sights. It won't be long before your morn- ings and afternoons are filled with textbooks, blue books and 2 pencils and your nights are filled laboring over nome- work.

Moving out, moving on What more is there to say? This is my final opinion column for TEC before I move on to bigger, but not necessarily better things. I feel confi- dent that I've whined about what there has been to whine about, praised what there has been to praise, and duly noted those things that spoke for themselves in mv short time here at ECU. I have enjoyed writing these col- umns and I hope that at least a few of you have enjoyed reading them. 1 have wondered occasionally if 1 have ne- glected important issues to vent over trivial matters well, who is to say what is trivial? The things that go on around us in our everyday lives effect us every bit as much (and usually more directly) than the things that go on in the Chancellor's office, the Governor's office or even Capitol Hill. And the great thing about the little things that bug you is that there is often something you could feasibly do to correct them. Write a letter, make a speech, disable someone's ve- hicle (this is a joke, and I take no re- sponsibility for anyone who may de- cide to try it,) incite a riot (also a joke and illegal) and you can likely get at least a couple of people to alter their irritating driving habits, or stop leav- ing their pets in the car on hot days, or behave a little better in restaurants. However, if you try these tactics on a national scale, the only result you are likely to get is an FBI background check (do you really want that ugly little incident in the eighth grade Andi Pov ell Phillips Opinion Write. I feel confident that I've whined about what there is is whine about dredged-up again?) and a black mark on your PERMANENT FILE. Besides, we can't begin to fix our really big problems: rampant crime, drug abuse, guns and crooked politi- cians (redundant, I know), without first addressing those issues a little closer to home; bad manners, slow traffic, lack of sufficient parking space and summer school stress. You scoff, but it is true! For in- stance: Why do you think so many politicians go bad? Do they wake-up one day and say "Hey! I think I'll go into politics, line my pockets with other people's money and live the high life until I get caught and go to prison?" No! These are people who have been allowed for years to hold us up in traffic, cut in front of us in line at the grocery store, park in the handicap spaces without getting tick- eted and they have come to expect it as their right to do whatever they please whenever they please! That's why they always seem to be surprised to learn that what they were doing was wrong when they get arrested for stealing money from social security Or taking their extended families on vacation at the taxpayer's expense (Remember Nixon? He seemed genu- inely perplexed that the American people were treating him so badly just because he had some of his people break into the Democratic National Headquarters to steal some docu- ments so he could illegally win the next election!) We let them do whatever else they wanted with no argument except the occasional obscene gesture, why should we care about this? So, you see, it is my theory that there is a direct correlation between how much trivial garbage we allow people in our dai lives to get away with and how crooked our politicians are. So, the next time you see some jerk park his $30,000 BMW sideways across two handicap spaces, first, let the air out of his tires (again, 1 take no responsibility) then, find a cop to give him a big, fat ticket (I could give you a list of local restau- rants where you could find several cops at any given time of the day, but that's a whole other story!) You will not only be making sure a jerk gets what he deserves for once, but you will also be helping to clean-up our political sys- tem at the same time! Well, that's it for my opinions. Thanks for reading! Bye everybody! The death of the nicotine dream Helms: washed up, out-of-date I stopped smoking recently. I had my last cigarette just over four weeks ago, which means I haven't had one in about four months now. That's what it feels like, and all you smug never- smoked-a-day-in-your-life creeps know exactly where you can go, and what sharp and unwieldy objects you can shove up which orifice along the way. I didn't quit because of health reasons. I still feel just as physically horrible as I did before; I didn't quit for financial reasons - if the price had gone up to five bucks a pack, I would have been letting my fingers do the walking through the yellow pages that very evening, looking for a second job. And I most certainly didn't quit be- cause of the pressure of the anti-ciga- rette mentality that all you body- temple cig police keep printing up on pamphlets and sliding under my door at three in the morning. I'd always been courteous about my carcinogens; if you'd rather I not smoke in your cars or apartments or classrooms, fine and good -1 certainly wouldn't want to infringe on the noough zone laws. But if you would have come up to me outside the building and told me to put it out, I would have glee- fully blown smoke in your eyes and flipped sparks in your hair. My thoughts were, when Ma Nature came up to me and lodged a complaint then I would grind out the butt Until then, you people could grin and bear it and stay away from me, preferably upwind. No, the reason I down-to-the-fil- tered my last Marlboro a couple of years back was because I didn't like being chained to anything. It was a drag poking through the pack around II o' clock every night and counting up how many smokes I had left, then doing some mental arithmetic to see if I would have enough to last me until morning, or should I go ahead and buy another pack before the conve- nience stores closed. Brian Wright Opinion Columnist I would have gleefully blown smoke in your eyes and flipped sparks in your hair A lot of smokers have an "emer- gency pack that they keep around in the back of the kitchen drawer or in the glove compartment, in case a crisis should rear its head during the wee hours. I never did. Or rather, my emergency pack always seemed to get thin and ultimately vanish every night around 10. I had tried to kick the habit sev- eral times in the past, and always managed to pick the worst possible times, i.e finals week, around the end of the month when I'm really scram- bling to get the money to pay my bills, and when I went to see Pink Floyd at Carter-Finley last summer (and believe you me, anyone who went to that show and says that they didn't smoke something is lying shamelessly to you). Every time, though, I'd crap out and go back to them, sawing through my usual pack and a half an hour. I'm in the school of art, you see, and I was trying to bum my lungs into twin briquettes so I could crack them out of my chest for my fall drawing classes and do some charcoal sketches with them. Eventually, though, I realized that there was only one thing in life I wanted to be addicted to (and if it turns out that the joke's on me and there is indeed a heaven in the classi- cal sense, I assure you that I will be mainlining nicotine and smoking four Camels at the same time before the pearly gates have even clanged shut behind me) is my girlfriend. I didn't stop because she told me to, she didn't even ask me to. I stopped because of the things in life 1 was addicted to - cigarettes and her - cigarettes were what was making me miserable. So I quit, and here I am, 40 years later. Strangely enough, I don't regret all the years I was smoking, and even stranger, I don't regret that I quit ei- ther. The only thing that really bugs me about the whole experience are these wretched DT's. I won't go into the hideous details of my badly choreographed withdrawal. There's too much depravity and pro- fanity behind it for anyone to ever al- low printing it, and besides, it's not even over yet Writing down my line of reason- ing for tossing out my ashtrays, how- ever, is the only means I have left of expressing it My speech has gradually become less and less intelligible, and my movements more spastic and un- controllable with each passing day. I feel like Jeff Goldblum from The Fly. I'm guessing that it will be finals on Friday that will finish me off. All that stress and anxiety is going to cause my body to shear itself apart and fly into atoms, and all that will be left will be my tennis shoes and the two black- ened raisinettes that were my lungs. The things are so hardened by now that they could probably survive a ground- zero nuclear blast But again, I have no regrets about either lighting up that first cigarette or about grinding that last one out and if the occasional inconvenience of spontaneous human combustion is price to pay for being able to take the stairs again, then so be it WRAL's airwaves carried the conservative commentator's voice across the coastal plains of North Carolina. The G. Gordon Liddy of his day made a name for himself by bring- ing his conservative dogma into homes for 12 years. Since 1972 he has made a name across the nation for our state bv representing North Carolina in the U.S. Senate. He has espoused the angry agenda of militant conservatives since his election to the Senate 23 years ago. During those days he criticized the U.S. for not continuing to fight in Vietnam. He also railed against slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King and accused him of es- pousing "action-oriented Marxism Jesse Helms soon became an icon of his time. Senator Helms made his name by fighting communism in the tradi- tion of Joe McCarthy. Before his elec- tion, he called Richard Nixon's trip to China "appeasement" of commu- nism. Helms fervently fought against arms control agreements negotiated by the Nixon Administration during his first term. President Nixon won that round. He carried his fight against com- munism to new heights during the Ford and Carter administrations. He argued the U.S. should not reduce nuclear weapons, despite being able to destroy the world seven times over. Jesse Helms fought against the SALT-1I treaty with the zeal one would expect. Jesse Helms prided himself on not being moderate. During the Reagan years, he and the late Sen. John East cast the only two dissenting votes against confirm- ing Casper Weinberger as Secretary of Defense. Cap wasn't strong enough for them. During this term, he aban- doned his role on the Agriculture Committee to take a seat on the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee. He Thomas Blue Opinion Columnist Helms still sits in the Senate, an icon of a generation that passed with the fall of the Berlin wall wanted to have a greater impact in rooting out communists. He often butted heads with fel- low Republicans on that commit- tee. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Indi- ana.) and other Republicans fa- vored a bill condemning South Af- rica for apartheid. Helms re- sponded by asserting that pressure to abolish apartheid would cause Pretoria to fall to leftists. He ar- gued the U.S. should ignore human rights abuses if it would stem the tide of leftism. Jesse Helms stood up and sup- ported anti communist dictators when no one else would. He sup- ported Chilean President Augusto Pinochet, whose government killed and exiled thousands. When the New York Times ran an article stat- ing Helms was being investigated for leaking classified information to Pinochet, he accused the State De- partment of having planted the documents and alleged the CIA had spied on him. The Reagan State Department was weak on commu- nism in Helms' mind. He also strongly criticized President Reagan's support for cen- trist Jose Napolean Duarte in El Salvador's 1984 Presidential Elec- tion. Helms vocally supported right-wing candidate Roberto d'Aubuisson, who had been linked to death squad murders. "You don't have perfect choices in trying to prevent a communist takeover of this world Helms explained. Helms continued carrying his foreign policy torch by supporting Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. He stated replac- ing Marcos with democratically elected Corazon Aquino "happens to be on the agenda of the social- ist world right now Helms also worked hard to block passage of an international treaty making geno- cide a crims. He contended that would threaten the U.S. Constitu- tion and bring frivolous lawsuits against the United States. Jesse Helms wanted to use every tool, regardless of how extreme, to fight communism. Jesse Helms staked his career on fighting communists at every turn. He relentlessly tried to force U.S. foreign policy farther toward taking extreme stances during the Cold War. Much of his support stemmed from willingness to go to extremes in battling the leftist threat during the Cold War. Today, Jesse Helms still sits in the U.S. Senate, an icon of a generation that passed with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today, the nation calls for new faces and change in Washington. Slogans like "term limits" and "new ideas" are buzz words on Capitol Hill. Since the Cold War's close, America is ushering in a new era in politics. Jesse Helms stands at a set of political crossroads. His biggest issue has fallen by the way- side and is out of date. As he gears up for another election campaign in 1996, voters must ask if perhaps he hasn't too. The East Carolinian will be hiring opinion columnists for the fall semester.

Take it as you will. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor MTV is evil again. I, for one, am glad to know it Ever since Nirvana broke, long- time alternative music fans have had an uneasy relationship with Music Television. Back in the '80s, it was easy to hate MTV. All they played was sticky teen dance pop and mo- ron hair bands posing as heavy metal rebels. Record anything more challenging or intellectual than "Every Rose has its Thorn in the '80s and you were destined to be ignored. Musical reality was clear-cut. All MTV cared about was what the big record companies cared about: making money off the lat- est clone of last year's sensation. They were evil, pure and simple. If you wanted to hear anything interesting, you had to turn to the underground. Then, due to a tremendous swelling of underground support, Nirvana's Nevermind disc broke into MTV's lifie of sight. A strange phenomenon, we thought, but a fluke to be sure. We were all very happy for Kurt and the boys, but expected Nirvana's 15 minutes of fame to be brief. Their return to the un- derground, we thought, was as- sured. After ail, they were singing about dark, depressing stuff. And on top of that, their first big hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit was a vicious attack on the army of MTV Zombies who loved the video so much. It was a great joke, but surely somebody would catch on. But they never did. And now, four years later, the Lollapalooza tour is one of the biggest con- certs in the nation and the term "mainstream alternative" is bat- ted around the music community without the slightest hint of irony. Just think about it: "main- stream alternative See DROP page 7 First Knight unsheathes a dull sword Dale Williamson Staff Writer � In the great tradition of Air- in plane and Naked Gun, the director of Ghost proudly brings you the Arthurian legend? � lv hits on the ! con- ced G u i n e and thu Art Courtesy of DC Comics That's right, folks! Jerry Zucker is the proud father of First Knight, Hollywood's latest attempt to bring King Arthur's story to the screen. To assist him. Zucker has cast Sean Connery as Arthur, Julia Ormand as Guinevere and Richard Gere as Lancelot. With Connery playing Arthur, one would expect a movie as enchanting as Camelot and as powerful as Excalibur. What we get is a dull-edged sword. Anyone vaguely familiar with the Arthur legend knows of the love triangle between the King, the Queen and Camelot's best knight. It's an intriguing tale on which Zucker and writer William Nicholson focus the film. However, the film- makers are so interested in the sexual tension between Lancelot and Guinevere (a sexual tension that feels very forced in this movie) that � ovie. � "i Lancelot rescues Guinevere a second time, he earns the trust'and respect of Arthur. who kniKhts him de- spite several pro- tests from the court.

I don't blame Julia Ormand for crying through half the movie. Ormand is a goo actress, but like her part in Legends of the Fall she is simply a love object for the men. While there is plenty of Lancelot's obsession with Guinevere, there is little sense of his loyalty towards Arthur. When Lancelot finally states that he has found his purpose in Arthur and Camelot. it's hard to believe him sim- ply because we have not seen the two male leads interact enough to establish any real relationship.

I am thankful that they are not taking the same route as other aging rockers. toun diculoi would die 1). you x: � eral � song America The regal Ramones are ap- proaching middle age. How can "Rock n' Roll High School" still have the same meaning to them? They deserve some credit for not selling out; in the midst of a punk revival the ones who started it all are call- ing it quits. The title of their new release is a hearty wave good-bye and farewell to all the loyal punks and lay per- sons who have supported their mu- sic through all these years, Adios Amigos. It seems like a sad occasion. After all, a few people grew up venting their angst through The Ramones long before Cobain ever developed his itchy finger. The CD opens with a wonderful cover tune. Joey "life's a gas" being repeated about 30 times with a few mumblings in- between. Then there is "Got a lot to Say a beautiful tune written by CJ. that goes as follows: "I got a lot to say. I can't remember now Punk simplicity at it's best. The Ramones have done their fare share of love songs and have done them quite well despite their rough demeanor.

There is one disappointing as- pect of this CD and that is that Joey doesn't always sing. The bass player and youngest sibling CJ. Ramone sings the lead on four of the tracks. That's not a totally bad thing; his voice fits the music well and he car- ries the attitude with no problem. It just doesn't seem like The Ramones without Joey's voice. Two tracks on Adios Amigos take The Ramones' trademark sim- plicity to a new height. "Life's a Gas written by Joey, consists of the words could easily be sung by Tiffany or Madonna and not sound out of place. "She Talks to Rainbows" is a song of unre- quited love with sappy country- like lyrics written by Joey. "Makin Mon- sters for My Friends" and "The Crusher" stick out on this CD as the two novelty tracks. It's not the music but the lyrics that make these songs so different. My personal favorite is "The Crusher a song about a reluctant professional wrestler who is having second thoughts about getting in the ring with the Russian Bear. The Crusher feels confident before he sees his opponent "I'm ready for a match with the Russian Bear Gonna pile drive him pull his hair I might have a foreign object in my trunks 1 might have to use on that punk But when he lays eyes on the Bear he gets scared and won't come out of the dressing room.

The Princeton graduate is a sharp dresser, speaks English fluently and com- mands respect with her quick wit and steady eye contact She also moves eas- ily among top executives as she advises companies on management techniques. She'll tell you she is simply a suc- cessful young Boston businesswoman - who also happens to be the most wanted female criminal in China. Chai was one of the first students to converge on Tiananmen Square in the spring of 1989 and one of the first to refuse food until the government agreed to talk reform with the protesters. When the People's Liberation Army descended on the square seven weeks later, opening fire on the demonstrators, she was among the last to leave. She and other student leaders formed a human shield to protect the thousands fleeing the center of Beijing. "The bullets didn't choose me she said. Now, six years later, the 29-year-old lives quietly in Boston, concentrating on a career in business while working on a book about how one of the most promis- ing teen-agers from the seaside town of Ri Zhao became one of China's most wanted dissidents. She wasn't always a firebrand. Chai had been a model student at Beijing Normal University, where she helped found the first cafe on campus. She even waited tables and helped make the cof- fee. She studied child psychology, ran track and helped oiganize campus work- shops. in 1982, at the age of 16, Chai was hailed by the Young Communists League as one of the country's top 100 students. But the events of April 15,1989 - her 23rd birthday - changed her life. That was the day former Communist Party chief Hu Yaobang died of a heart attack. Hu had been ousted from power two years earlier for failing to crack down on students' pro-democracy demonstra- tions, so Chai and thousands of others from Beijing Normal University con- verged on Tiananmen Square in his See CHINA page 7 That's right, the East Carolinian is on the lookout for CARTOONISTS.

Music made for mass ap- peal, enjoyed by everyone. "Alternative meaning outside the normal. Music made for a more narrow appeal, enjoyed by people who want something different. Does anybody else see the con- tradiction in terms here? MTV sure doesn't seem to. Ev- ery new rock band that comes along is called "alternative no matter what it sounds like. It's all the same to MTV. Hey, look! It's new! It has gui- tars! The lead singer doesn't tease his hair! It must be alternative! Slap that label on and ship it! Somewhere along the line, MTV managed to change the meaning of the word alternative. Rather than re- ferring to a band's place in the mu- sic market (outside the mainstream), it now refers to a musical style. The problem is. alternative mu- sic was more than REM and Nirvana before those bands broke. Groups with .sounds as diverse as Primus and They Might Be Giants were welcomed under the alternative umbrella. It en- compassed a whole world of sound that was rejected by the mainstream. But now the alternative label has become MTV's biggest marketing strategy. Being "different" is in, it seems, and being "alternative" auto- matically makes you different. Even if you're just recycling old guitar riffs from the '70s. MTV never really changed. They just shifted gears. Once, they were cloning Debbie Gibson and John Bon Jovi. But by 1991 the clones were coming out diluted, like eighth gen- eration video: so blurry around the edges that they weren't worth watch- ing. Now they're trying to clone Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder. The prob- lem is, Gibson and Bon Jovi were working from a formula that was eas- ily reproduced. Whatever formulas Cobain and even Vedder have used are unique to themselves. Any at- tempts to clone them are doomed to failure. Granted, this isn't a new prob- lem. The American music indu.stry has always co-opted the underground to prop up their sagging profits. It happened to the hippies, it happened to the punks, and now it's happen- ing to the alternative scene. Alternative is dead. MTV is evil, and now I can finally crawl back into the underground and wait for some- thing to happen. Ah, it's 'good to be home. honor.

"All we wanted was a dialogue with the government Chai said "Why did they do this when all we wanted was something better for the nation?

The heroes are still in China she said Chai estimates about 200 people risked their lives to smuggle her out ot China. She turned up in Paris with her husband, dissident Ivng Congde, in April 1990, the same year she was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Although her husband chose to stay in France. Chai moved to the United States and resumed her graduate stud- ies at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Interna- tional Affairs, where she received a master's degree. She now divides her time between Boston and Washington. D.C where she runs the China Dialogue foundation lob- bying the LS. government on policy to- ward China. The L'nited States, she says, must avoid selling out human rights in the name of economic opportunity in China. Chai misses her homeland and her parents, brothers and sisters.

And with that the CD ends and one sits and contemplates the end of this band. It is really kind of sad to think of this as The Ramones' last release ever, but at the same time I am kind of relieved for the boys. They have done some ungodly amounts of touring through the '70s, '80s and '90s and never really "broke through so to speak. Joey Ramone has voiced his displeasure with the re- cent success of such bands as Green Day. They become millionaires with one album while The Ramones stay true to the game and stay broke. They have suffered for their art and had a lot of fun along the way. This review is an end in more ways than one. The Ramones are retiring, a band that many would call the first punk band on the planet. They have influenced countless bands and people over the years. They were the first live band I ever saw in my life and they certainly made a lasting impression on me that is not so obvious but still very prevalent in my character. Hey! Ho! Let's Go! - Adios Amigos! The role has been waiting for him to breathe life into it. Unfortunately, Connery is underused. The focus is on Lancelot, making this Gere's movie. Still, Connery turns in a magical perfor- mance. When Arthur catches Lancelot and Guinevere kissing, Connery conveys the angered pain of betrayal and broken love without uttering a single word. Too bad Zucker has to screw the moment up by superimposing a flame in Connery's eye to illustrate Arthur's anger. Ultimately, Zucker was the wrong person to direct First Knight. He choreographs the action se- quences adequately, but the recent releases of Rob Roy and Braveheart make the swordplay in this picture seem like child's play. Zucker's un- successful attempt to balance the romance with the action only cre- ates a disjointed story with no edge. As he proved in Ghost, Zucker tugs on the heart strings until they choke you. Instead of presenting a daring revisionist's version of the Arthur tale, Zucker and company pull their punches and end up mu- tating a legend. On a scale of one to 10, First Knight rates a five.

The season-best time came en route to claiming the 1C4A Championships in Fairfax, Va. ECU's time was one of the top 12 in the country. The Pirates finished eighth in the na- tion in Knoxville. earning them All-Ameri- can Honors. "We ran probably as good as we could in that race said ECU Head Track Coach Bill Carson ECU baseball came to an abrupt halt on May 18 after back-to-back losses to the University of Richmond and the Col- lege of William and Mary in the CAA Tournament held in Kinston. The losses dropped the Pirates record to a disap- pointing 29-26. "Like any good club, we had to im- prove and we never did said ECU Head Coach Gary Overton. "It was disappoint- ing that we were no better at the end of the season than we were at the begin- ning Now. however, Overton and his squad are looking forward 10 contend- ing for the 1996 CAA title and returning to the NCAA regionals once again.

Jeff Blake, who single-handedly ressurected a floundering Cincinnati Bengal of- fense, must once again battle ma- jor pro disappointment David Klingler for the starting job on David Shula's Bengal squad. Blake will shine again in Cincy this year if he is given a chance, with the improved running game and an improv- ing defense. He's clearly the best QB on the roster. Don't be suprised if Klingler is gone and seventh-round pick John Walsh becomes Blake's backup mid-season The Carolina Panthers look suprisingly tough for a first-year franchise. CM Bill Polian, who came from the Buffalo Bills, and coach Dom Capers (Pittsburgh), have as- sembled a roster that has a feature back in Barry Foster, quality line- backers and excellent special teams players. A star may be bom in OT Blake Brockmeyer, who Carolina had draft-rated just below Jackson- ville rookie Tony Boselli, who has already blown a knee in Cougar camp The game will certainly miss impact players and record-breakers Blake will shine again in Cincy this year if he is given a chance, with the improved running game and and inproving defense. like Joe Montana and Sterling Sharpe. Both will be forever remem- bered as legends of the game and have now made the jump to televi- sion broadcasting. Sharpe looked comfortable and sounded good on both NFL Primetime and Sportscenter Monday night. It's a shame that Sharpe didn't play on quality teams throughout his nine- year career - he would have got- ten a lot more respect more on par with Jerry Rice It was good to see that Orlin Norris was resting comfortably out of the hospital yesterday after col- lapsing in the ring during a Satur- day evening fight. The former champ, after taking a vicious shot to the head, was carried out on a stretcher. Norris was the third fighter to be seriously injured in the ring this year, but hey, it comes with the territory. Now some are insist- ing that headgear be worn as a re- quirement. It won't help. Headgear will do little to stop brain damage in the ring - the repeated force of blows to all sides of the head still remains. All it will do is help to prevent fa- cial lacerations and swelling. The knockouts will still come Speaking of knockouts, Peter McNeeley, Mike Tyson's first op- ponent not wearing a prison uniform, appeared on Letterman vowing to drop the former champ (of course) during their $50 pay-per-view confronta- tion. The self-titled "Hurricane who resembles a puffed-up Andrew Dice Clay, went on to tell Dave that fighting Tyson is a long-chased dream that will finally become real- ity when they enter the ring. Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah. If Hurricane wins, he won't get any respect, as Iron Mike hasn't fought in four years. If he loses, though, he'll re- ally look like a chump, losing to a guy that hasn't fought in four years. Andy Warhol said everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. Let's see, Hur- ricane appeared on Letterman for eight minutes or so, so that means he'll last about seven more against Tyson. 3rd round KO trailing Notre Dame's Ron Powlus and Duke's Spence Fisher.

In 3on-3 basketball, at press time, the playoffs had pared the field down to four semifinal teams. The favorite continues to be "Flipped, Cleaved, & Brewed Fish" who rode the shooting of Cleave Nix and the snappy passing of Stephen Flippin to a 48-14 quarterfinal win over "Blue Chips" despite the dead- eye shooting of "BIG" George Hollen. Facing them in the semifinal will be the "Three Amigos who smashed the "Panthers" 51-29 behind the in- side play of Jim McGee and the shoot- ing of Kevin Stone. The "Panthers" were lead by the solid play of Matt Taylor and Travis Crane. The other semifinal will feature two teams that started the season on the waiting list. The "Unrestricted Free Agents" lead by the knuckleball jump shots of Quinton Manley outlasted "Tixe 52-39 while the "Death Squad" defeated Ward's Team" 29-23 in a tight contest.

Squads play softball to increase inter-departmenta cooperation Dave Pond Sports Editor The ECU Police Department has been competing in series of softball games to better their working relation- ship with other area law enforcement organizations. "The main advantage of this is that after these games, our officers should be able to work better and in- teract with other local agencies said ECU Patrol Officer J.C. Horst "This will help our officers conduct better and more thorough investigations of on-campus crime The "Police Pirates" took on the Greenville Police Department on July 8, and played the Pitt County Sheriffs Department on Saturday. ECU lost to Greenville P.D. 24-12, but returned to form in their next contest, topping the Sherrif's squad 10-5. ECU's co-ed team is in its first season of play, and hopes to continue to successfully reach the community. Team members include: Chief Teresa Crocker, LaFranc Davis, Lawrence Watson, Brian Powell, Isaiah Hill, Walter Myer, D.J. Gregory, Annette Parker, Kimberly Peed, Virgil Leggett, Monica Brown, J.C. Horst and Johnny Umphlett "We've gotten a lot of positive feedback from not only the agencies that participated in the games, but other agencies as well Horst said. "Many other programs, such as the hospital police and other ECU depart- ments, have inquired about participat- ing in future games Also, the department hopes to further relationships with Greenville- area children, and has invited Greenville Boys and Girls Club mem- bers to come watch the games and participate in the post-game cookouts. Both events are free of charge. "This allows the kids to see offic- ers in a different setting than just on the street Horst said. "It shows the children that the officers have a hu- man side as well as the professional side they show in uniform On August 9, the "Police Pirates" will take on area District Attorneys at the ECU Intramural Fields at 2 p.m. The game will be followed by a cook- out. Suspended Mountaineer defensive end to return for ECU football contest WVU player wins appeal from the NCAA Aaron Wilson Staff Writer West Virginia faces off with East Carolina September 30th in Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium. For the Mountain- eers, it will be their first game with pre-season All-Big East selection John Browning, who will miss the first three games while serving a sus- pension for signing with an agent prior to this spring's NFL draft. Browning, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive lineman, will miss West Virginia's games against Purdue, Kent State and Maryland. Originally, the suspension was for the entire season and Browning had enter- tained thoughts of entering this season's supplemental draft. The NCAA eligibility committee met late last week in deciding his eli- gibility after Browning appealed the earlier suspension. In an hour-long conference call, the decision was made to reduce the senior's suspen- sion to just the first three games. "I'm very happy and I'm re- lieved Browning said. "I know I made a mistake, but I understand that now. and I want to thank the NCAA for listening to my case. "Now, I just want to stick with my classes so I can graduate in the future and I will be able to get ready for football season this year Bcvn ing is an outstand- ing NFL prospect who made 36 tackles, four sacks and two tack- les for loss last season at defensive tackle. He was moved to defensive end this spring to take full advantage of his size and speed. He has been com- pared to former WVU defensive end and current New Orleans Saints All- Pro Renaldo Turnbull. "I think this was a just decision, and I'm just pleased as the devil for John said WVU head coach Don Nehlen. "He's a good young guy and I'm happy we will be able to keep him in school here at West Virginia University. I think the NCAA made a positive move today to help a stu- dent-athlete "John is an integral part of our defensive front WVU defensive as- sistant Doc Holliday said. "Obvi- ously, this suspension hurts our defense but we are extremely glad that he will be able to play for most of the season The Mountaineers are ranked in the Top 20 by most preseason pub- lications and are led by a tough de- fense headlined by Browning, line- backer J.T.

Heading into Saturday's exhibi- tion opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Panthers' quarterback depth chart lists Frank Reich and Jack Trudeau as first-team. "We don't have a quarterback controversy Panthers' head coach Dom Capers said. "We've got compe- tition, like probably, a lot of teams around the league Reich and Trudeau have been friendly rivals in their quest to direct the offense. Kerry Collins, the Pan- thers' number one draft pick, is get- ting almost equal time at quarterback. But Collins is number three, and Ca- pers doesn't see the Penn State rookie moving up during preseason. "I think something would have to change drastically Capers said. "Kerry's in there competing, but we're just thinking in terms of just trying to get Kerry as many repititions as we can at this point. Our plan is to just bring Kerry along That leaves Reich, a 10-year backup at Buffalo, and Trudeau, who started 49 games in his nine-year ca- reer with Indianapolis and the New York Jets. Capers says he has yet to decide whether Reich or Trudeau would start Saturday in Canton, Ohio. Reich would appear to have the most to lose. When he signed with the Panthers as an unrestricted free agent, he did so with the desire to fi- nally become a starter. He made just eight starts with the Bills, but earned a reputation for mak- ing the most of his limited chances while backing up Jim Kelly on a pe- rennial contender. He won his first four starts and directed the NFL's greatest comeback, rallying the Bills from a 32-point deficit to a victory against Houston in the 1992 playoffs.

The biggest news to hit ECU this summer was that of the rebirth of the Pirate, Wolfpack and Tarheel football ri- valry. The announcement came on the heels of numerous meetings between ECU Athletic Director Mike Hamrick. NCSU Athletic Director Todd Turner at id UNC Athletic Director John Swofford. 'Die last series meeting with the Wolfpack was at Carter-Finley Stadium in 1987. and ended in a 32-14 Pirate victory. The series, which could begin as early as 1998, will be played on a home and home basis, with a game in Greenville, a game in Raleigh and possibly a game at a neu- tral cite. The instate rivalry will genet: ate big money for eastern North Caro- lina and firmly plant ECU in the hearts and minds of football fans everywhere Paramount in the decision to renew the rivalry' between toe schools may have been the approval by ECU's Board of Trustees of a master plan that will in- crease Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium's seating capacity to 46,000 seats by the start of the 1997 season, and ultimately to 60,000 seats. The new master plan is sectioned into four phases. Phase one will bring the seating capacity t 46,1 M H i seats and also includes the construction of an 8,000-seat upper deck on the north side of the stadium, as well as permanent seat bleachers in the east end zone. The cost of phase one is $11.5 million. Phase two of the plan includes con- struction of club seating beneath the north side upper deck. Phase three will be the addition of a new press box and 10,000 new seats on the south side of the stadium. Finally, phase four will add the remaining 3,000 to 4,000 seats to the east end zone, which will bring Dowdy-Ficklen's seating capacity to 60,000.
