The judge ordered Urioste to un- dergo psychiatric evaluation. Posing as "Leasa Urioste mar- ried Bruce Jenson in 1991. He was arrested as a man in June after using credit cards in the name of Leasa Jenson. Two skinheads accused of killing their parents in Pennsyl- vania will be tried as adults, pros- ecutors ruled. The decision means David Freeman, 16. and Bryan Freeman. 17, could face the death penalty. The youths, along with an 18-year-old cousin, are charged with killing Dennis and Brenda Freeman and Eric Freeman, 11. The victims were bludgeoned and stabbed to death in their home near Allentown last Feb- ruary. A truck-size boulder crashed down from the side of a scenic waterfall into a pool, injuring 20 people, including many members of a wedding party, authorities in Portland, Ore. reported. Hundreds of firefighters fought more than 36 wildfires in Washington state where a huge fire scorched 180,000 acres last year. Officials said lightning sparked at least 20 of the fires. Around the World NATO warplanes rocked Bosnian Serb targets around Sarajevo Tuesday, slamming shut a four-day window of diplomatic grace marked by Serb defiance and stalling.

Catalina (Candy) Maria Villorente was killed on Aug. 28 while driving to work-out near her home in Moyock. N.C. Villorente swerved to avoid an accident, lost control of her vehicle, and slid into a ditch; a tractor trailing driving behind her also swerved to avoid the accident and jacknifed onto her vehicle. "She brought joy and happiness to everyone she touched said fellow Gamma Sigma Sigma sister Diane Morgan. "She was always supportive and optimistic More than a few friends, family and members of Gamma Sigma Sigma sorority and Alpha Sigma Phi frater- nity gathered last Thursday in Portsmout, Va. to say gooodbye and shed tears for their dear friend Candy. "We pledged together last spring and she was really outgoing said Alice Murray, one of Candy's sorority sisters. "She was the type of person that if you met her once, you wouldn't forget her. "She was the sister liason in our pledge class � she went to all of the sisterhood meetings as well as the pledge class meetings and she acted as a go-between. She was good at plan- ning, she would go out and oiganize activities she really knew how to get stuff done Although Villorente was on aca- demic probation this fall, her mother. Maria Villorente said she had planned to return as a sophmore next spring. "She loved life, she never went anywhere without a smile Maria said. "She loved people she was aggres- sive, she liked to party and liked to dance Villorente said Candy, a child de- velopment and family relations major, loved animals, the moon and going to the beach. "She was funny - a little ball of energy is how sister Melissa Hinkle described Candy.

And, ECU, which no longer faces the loss of 46 faculty members and 25 staff positions, overall has faired well. Some of the cuts that have af- fected ECU are within the School of Medicine. "The School of Medicine lost $132,v�9 of what are called EPA non-teach- ing positions Vice Chancellor of Business Af- fairs Richard Brown. "They tend to be rela- tively high level non-faculty posi- tions These posi- tions include re- search associ- ates. Also, the university has lost money for equipment. ����-���� ���� "The university in total lost about $300,000 of equipment funds, which will have an impact on us Brown said. Brown said he credits area state senators and friends of the university system for the positive outcome. "Thanks to a lot of work by the local supporters of the univer- sity, the University of North Caro- lina! General Administration, the university people and our legisla- tors who are supporters of the university, the cuts were not as detrimental as they could have been. They did a lot of work to cor- rect those cuts Bret Kinsella, Senate commu- nications director said that by get- ting the House to compromise, the Senate sent a strong signal of com- mitment to the university system. "Education dollars are dollars well spent Kinsella said. Kinsella said cuts to the uni- versity system would not only hurt the educational system but also the economic systems built around the universities. As a result, the state would suf- fer a great deal. Though Kinsella said he hopes the fu- ture will not hold major cuts for the univer- sity system, he cannot give any guarantees be- cause there are always going to be forces who say the money could be spent elsewhere - like for roads. ECU'S losses were less than losses at some other "The cuts hit different campuses differently. The way they were applied � some campuses took much heavier cuts than East Carolina � Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs The entrance to the Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit in Pitt County Memorial Hospital is a busy one. Doctors and nurses hustle by, busy with their patient's surgery schedules, blood transfu- sions and X-Rays. Gurneys are pushed by filled with injured people, hurt in car accidents and other vio- lent impacts. The looks on their faces, even when sedated, are etched with pain. This is no place for the faint of heart. Distraught relatives, friends and basketball players crowd the small visiting room, deeply upset and worried. Literally, dozens of well-wishers hug each other, cry, pray and hope. Flowers, cards and meals do little to console this group. They are praying for a special miracle, one fhat will make their loved one whole again, ECU student and basketball manager Jim Calhoun, Jr. He is holding on, listed in criti- cal condition, paralyzed from the top of the shoulders down. His in- juries are multiple, including three fractures in his fifth vertebrae, al- most shattered, a bent spinal cord and a CVA (cerebrovascular acci- dent, also known as a stroke). The stroke induced by a block- age of one of the main arteries con- nected to the brain stem has Calhoun in a deep coma, unable to talk with his parents Jim and Sandra Calhoun or his girlfriend, ECU soft- ball player Tonya Oxendine. "We are still hoping for a miracle, you always have hope Mrs. Calhoun said. "Prayer is the only thing we can do right now for Jim. We don't understand why it happened, I still find it hard to be- lieve that it happened. "The hardest thing to accept is that whatever God's will is, it will be done. Whether He chooses to give Jim back to us or not it has state institu- tions. Brown said this was because ECU usually received less funding than these universities. "The cuts hit different cam- puses differently Brown said. "The way they were applied - some campuses took much heavier cuts than East Carolina.

Jason has been one of Jim's best friends since the age of 14. They spent this summer coaching a little-league baseball team to the playoffs. John has only known Calhoun for a few years, but they have become fast friends due to a lot of joking around and working together.

New contractor named to Rec Center Stewart King Staff Writer Correction Box The Salt Water Fishing Association will use funds appro- priated last spring during the upcoming school year. T. A. Loving, Inc. of Goldsboro has been named as the recovery con- tractor to complete the new Student Recreation Center (SRC). A sched- uling consultant has been hired. A date for completion will should be announced today. The delay in completion of the SRC is due mostly to the bankruptcy of Lott Constructors Inc which left the center stuck in the mud. Direc- tor of Recreational Services, Nancy Mize, said ECU'S previous contractor's bankruptcy problems were not linked to ECU, but to a prison project they were undertak- ing in the Dallas, Tx. area. The SRC will have almost every- thing but luxurious locker rooms, saunas and steam rooms, but will also not be crowded by non-Pirates. "We will never sell memberships to the Greenville community Mize said. "The center is for the exclu- sive use of students, faculty and staff And what is to become of we students who graduate before the center is completed? Student fees have been paying for construction since 1990. "We have a recent alumni cat- egory for all students who have paid into the project since 1990 Mize said.

Stephanie Eaton Staff Writer ECU has been able to experience a small taste of foreign culture. The English Language Academy (ELA) brings students from all over the world to participate in everyday life at ECU. Students who are involved in this program are responsible for 300 hours of class work and field trips. In years past, ECU has had students from the former Soviet Republics and a Bosnian refugee. At present, students are here from countries as far away as Japan and Togo. ELA did not recruit foreign stu- dents full time until last May when Debbie O'Neal was hired as director of ELA. O'Neal said ECU has a small international population on campus. "One goal of the program and of the chancellor is to increase the in- ternational population and I feel that ELA is the perfect recruiting tool O'Neal said.

The bill introduced by State Representative Henry Aldridge (R- Pitt) is now part of the recently adopted House budget. The fund- ing will support joint training of teachers and university faculty and provide operating costs for a year- long student internship which will be selected on a competitive basis from schools in a 17-county teach- ing network in eastern North Caro- lina. "I have worked extremely hard to get this important funding mea- sure into the House budget In a time of budget cutting and reduc- ing government, it is still important to fund necessary programs and I know the training of educators is vital to our future" Aldridge said. Eventually, everyone who graduates with a teaching degree from ECU will have had one full year of student teaching instead of only 10 weeks. Educators call this innovative new system "clinical teaching Over the past seven years ECU has tried, tested and perfected clinical teaching through its Model Clinical Teaching Pro- gram (MCTP). Today, with recogni- tion and awards from national edu- cation groups, the ECU program is leading the wave of progress to im- prove teaching in the United States. These successes are due in part to the way the clinical program con- TlkeyVe Bacls The Greatest Shrimp Around trasts with traditional student teaching. Instead of spending a few weeks a semester in a public school classroom, the clinical teaching in- terns spend a year working with school children. In the process, the interns receive instruction and cri- tique from specially trained teach- ers. ECU professors also work closely with the school teachers and interns. "The two critical factors we found in our research, over and over were that a student needs more time in the classrooms and we also need well-prepared, well- trained clinical teachers to support and help our young teachers grow professionally said Betty Beacham, MCTP director. Supported with state funding and guided by a directive from the North Carolina legislature to study avenues to improve teacher educa- tion in North Carolina, ECU launched the program in 1987. The number of students involved in the new program remains small in com- parison to the other education ma- jors following the traditional stu- dent teaching approach that has been here and on other campuses for decades. Charles Coble, dean of ECU's School of Education, said ECU has already modified its existing train- ing program to incorporate many of the model program's major com- ponents. He said Pamalee Hawk, di- rector of Teacher Education, is leading a complete restructuring of Teacher Education, heavily influ- enced by the model program, which will be implemented during the next two years. ECU officials have discovered a higher rate of teacher retention due to clinical teaching. A recent study of the program showed that 97 percent of the MCTP graduates have remained in teaching after five years. The national average is less than 60 percent. The program makes students and educators feel much more involved in the learn- ing process. "We learn from the Clinical Teachers and they learn from us said Katherine Misulis, a member of the ECU Education fac- ulty. ECU will transform its entire Teacher Education program into clinical teaching in 1996. Under the program, students will go through a clinical pre-professional semester followed by a full semester of stu- dent teaching. "I think that within the next two to five years we are going to see this program lead the way to a full blown professional school net- work of teaching centers in eastern North Carolina Beacham said. She said the network system will do a much more effective job of linking universities with the pub- lic schools and will emphasize the professional growth of everyone in- volved in the school environment. This is important, she said, because "we are now beginning to realize that schools of education, teacher preparation programs, public schools and communities must work together in helping teachers prepare kids for the 21st century (jisvyufaAASL 83�-5593 X 7 JAoyvi 830-5597 Water boy Photo by KEN CLARK Facility Services employee Terry Little waters flowers and bushes in front of the fountain at Wright Circle. pAPAJOHHs Pef&�rtk The, $�$&� Rzza 1322 East 10th St. Greenville, NC 757-7700 � One Large I Two Tens for Ten ; I One Topping - Jw�Sma11 : � " ' Two Toppings ST25 cin00Family Special J One Large with The Works � & One Large Two Toppings � 1 C14 25 i j 'V' TAX � SIV .TAX Expires 93095.

'� V Thursday, September 7, 1995 The East Carolinian TAX from page 1 REC from page 2 ter institutions, and based on the formula that was used in distrib- uting the cuts, that seems to prove itself out. "So, we did not take nearly as bad cuts as UNC-Chapel Hill or N.C. State or even some of the other schools For example, Brown said while ECU's academic affairs administra- tion took no cuts in non-teaching EPA. not including the School of Medicine, N.C. State University- had $638,000 in cuts and UNC- Chapel Hill had S490.000 in cuts to their academic affairs adminis trations. Even UNC-Creensboro lost $101,000. "So, we were treated fairly in the budget cuts, and other schools probably were also treated fairly. But, their funding levels were bet- ter than ours, so they took bigger cuts ECU's budget actually consists of the following three components: the continuation budget, the ex- pansion budget and the capital budget. "The first is called the con- tinuation budget Brown said, it's the general operating budget of the university. It's basically funding for running the facilities and paying the faculty and staff Though none of the budget's money was touched, some in- creases were built into the continu- ation budget for such things as changes in employee benefits and telephone and postage costs. These expenses increase each year and include library books and jour- nals. 'To understand where we are this fall, you have to go back two years said Dr. Kenneth Marks, di- rector of Joyner Library. "Two years ago all of the campuses in the UNC system asked for additional money for acquisitions, the pur- chase of books and journals. The money that was asked for was for the continuing budget. Instead of an appropriation that added it on a continuing basis to the budget, the legislature appropriated one- time non-reoccurring money. When they did that, they also did not appropriate all the money that was asked for. Now. when you get one-time money, it's not wise to spend it on something that is going to continue to come back as a cost year after year after year Two years ago. the library re- ceived $300,000 for acquisition. Last year, the amount was reduced to $144,000. Since library admin- istrators must prepare budgets a year ahead of time this caused prob- lems in January 1995, we began to get forecasts for what would hap- pen to journal costs for '96 Marks said. "The forecasts indicated that costs for journals would be likely to go up on average - 13.8 percent. So, as we looked at preparing the budget for '95'96, we had to an- ticipate that we would experience that kind of price increase. "So, when you combine the loss of $144,000 plus the projected price increase of 13.8 percent, which in the case of our journal collection would translate to ap- proximately $150,000 to $160,000. That gave us the figure of $300,000 that we were going to be short As a result, library administra- tors went to the academic depart- ments last spring "to identify $300,000 worth of journals we (the library) could cancel "We didn't like to take that message to the faculty, and the fac- ulty certainly didn't like to hear it Marks said. "Canceling $300,000 worth of journals would be equiva- lent to canceling about 25 percent of our journal collection. It would have been a devastating cut Twenty-five percent of the col- lection would equal about 1,200 journals. After the legislature settled on this year's budget, the UNC system libraries received the additional continuing moneys to the continu- ing budget. However, the libraries requested a 9.9 percent increase, and the legislature responded with a 4.4 percent increase. Though he considers the addi- tion to the continuing budget "an enormous blessing Marks said the addition of $165,000 did not cover the expected budget amount of $300,000. "The chancellor and others in the university administration made a commitment that they would find the remaining funds that were needed to help the library avoid having to cancel journals for this year and that has really made the difference Marks said. Even so, library administrators, staff and the academic units in the division of academic affairs have been studying which journals must be on campus and which journals faculty and students could get through "document delivery Document delivery is a new name for inter-library loan. In the university's expansion budget, state libraries are receiving an one-time increase for library books. "Expansion means it is addi- tional, above and beyond the con- tinuation budget that keeps this running basically the same as is did last year Brown said. The capital budget is for build- ings and facilities. While the School of Medicine lost EPAs from the continuation budget, it is seeking funding in the capital budget for new buildings tor a life sciences addition and a sci- ence laboratories and technology building.

Chancellor Eakin said Tuesday that the recreation cen- ter, originally scheduled to open in late November, is now some five months behind schedule. Phase one of the li- brary construction is also behind by about five weeks. Al- though Eakin said in the past the library's contractor J.H. Hudson was able to make up lost time, he doubts they will be able to do so again. The rec center's original contractor, Lott Construction Co Inc filed for bankruptcy this summer. Since that time, T. A. Loving Co. has taken over the project. J.H. Hudson is expected to complete phase one of the library and then turn the project over to a new contractor. At that point, J.H. Hudson will work on small scale projects. Eakin agrees having the two projects delayed simulta- neously is a frustrating coincidence, even when counting on the possibility of schedule slippage. So we, the ones dishing out $48 per semester for the recreation center's debt fund, have a right to be angry. But, what we must keep in mind is that someone before us paid for the facilities we are using today, such as the original library and Mendenhall Student Center. Chances are very likely, unless your college career has spanned several de- cades, that you didn't fund those projects. In order for East Carolina University to continue to strive for recognition in the ranks with other state schools, we must continue to build and develop our institution. Although it is frustrating to pay for something we won't use, it's an inevitable part of paying college tuition. We hear there are plans to allow alumni to use the rec center, but hopefully by that time we'll all have full time jobs with companies who have their own recreation centers. Both of the university's major projects are behind schedule. Although it's a rare coincidence, it is something we have no choice over. Year of the Dolphins Well pigskin patriots we have waited long, hard, and finally made it. Baseball season is finally over. Those of us who still have a 1983 Baltimore Orioles American League championship pennant saw what we were waiting to see last night Cal Ripken Jr. became professional sports' all time greatest iron man. Now that all that is over with, it's time for America's game of choice: football. What about figure skating you ask? Well as of last year the sport of football has gained control of the sports' popularity channel changing wars by a whopping four percent The second question you have to ask is: What do we have to look for- ward to?Even if it wasn't your sec- ond question pretend, because it's the lead into my topic.) The year of the Miami Dolphins. My first argument is that of moral obligation. I have been waiting for as long as I can remember for the most likely candidate for the Hall of Fame still playing the game, Dan Marino, to win a Super Bowl. The second reason is plain and simple they bought more talent than anyone else. They spent a grand total of $12.5 million in the off season on signing veteran free agents and re- structuring their own veteran's old contracts. In spending more money than any other team they brought in some of the best the league has to offer. By giving Dan Marino the tal- Chris Arline Opinion Columnist I have been waiting for Dart Marino to win a Super Bowl. � � ented hands of Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders, Irving Fryar and Randal Hill on the wideout positions, Parmalee and Kirby behind him, and getting to hide behind All-Pro tackle Richmond Webb tight end Eric Green, how can the man with the quickest release go wrong? As we all know, offense only scores points, defense wins ball games. It's alot easier to win ball games when you have Jeff Cross, Trace Armstrong and Marco Coleman at the ends. Tim Bowens and Steve Emtman will be playing tackle. Why not throw in Bryan Cox in at linebacker and Troy Vincent at comerback just to be sure? What is all this talent without a coach? Okay, give Don Shula the reins. He should be able to handle the task if the title of winningest coach of all time has any credibility. The key question facing the Dol- phins is who do they have to beat The best teams in the AFC are in their division. By winning the AFC East they have beaten the best the Confer- ence has to offer. Winning the AFC Title is half the fight The rest of the battle is in beat- ing the greatest team in the history of organized sports: the Washington Redskins. But let's say that something crazy happens (such as a bunch of militant Native Americans, bent on political correctness, decide to exact some measure of revenge,) and the Hogs don't make the playoffs. The likely alternate would be the San Fran- cisco 49ers. The Dolphins will win for two reasons. The first is that the odds of winning back to back championships is about 5-1. The second reason is economic. When a team wins a Super Bowl then the players' net worth goes up. This salary inflation is affected by the fact that inflation is higher than the league salary cap. Thus by inflation the team is no longer able to keep the same number of quality backup players and when the regular start- ers get hurt, the replacements can't get the job done. By January the Niners' low de- fensive depth won't allow them to keep up with injury or Miami. PS. I'll go back to writing about the problems facing American society next week. Letters to the Editor To The Editor: This football season they have done it again! A soda like Pepsi, Coke or Mountain Dew will cost you, the avid ECU Pirate football fan 50 cents more this year than it did the past four football seasons. Now, starting with the game on Sept. 16, you will be paying two bucks for a soda. The $1.50 selling price per soda had been in effect since the record smashing 1991 peach bowl season until the end of the 1994 "whatever Bowl that was season The sad thing about it is, that we the concessionaires, who sell the drinks at your football games get nothing, zero, zilch, out of the 50 cent increase in the contract offered us by the East Carolina Pirates Foot- ball Concessions Office of the Ath- letic Department. Is that fair? They get 50 cents more per soda sold and we get nothing. They, the management, can do better. I wrote about this very same subject back in 1990, and my wise advice went not unheeded. The only difference today is, we want a fair contract of buying and selling prices now, that is to sav, this year, in 1995, not "wait till next year when things may be more slack That was done in the past, but now it's high time for them to get real, and get a life, by giving us out fair share. From the new 50 cent increase in price, the football concessions managers need to give us five cents to add to our current commission on sales. Everyone, worker and capi- talist master alike, should receive their fair share of the wealth of our great nation.

Avoid stress, it sucks Are you stressed out yet? No? Well, give it a couple of weeks then, because folks, this semester is up and running, with or without you, and before too long, if you're really seri- ous about doing well here in school, the old demand is likely to start ex- ceeding the supply (as they like to say in Economics 1000, which I failed, by the way. I got lost right after the sup- ply and demand' part). How do you tend to handle stress? Do you fiercely forge ahead, dar- ing this life to try and beat you down? Or are you like me and, at the first indication of stress, curl up in the fe- tal position under a bed or desk some- where and mumble nursery rhymes until it all goes away? People handle stress in different ways, some good, some bad and some people just can't handle it at all. Well, they're gonna' lose. Stress itself, its rotten self, is just a part of life, and an important part too, as any two-bit shrink will be quick to tell you. It's how you choose to look at stress and how you handle it that makes all the difference in the world. One important thing to realize, I think, is that stress is here to stay, like your fat alcoholic uncle, and it's not going to get any better as time goes by. College is not a place where it's just stressful for certain periods of time and then the real world will be all smooth sailing. College, among other things, is a training ground for stress. During your time here you should be train- ing yourself how to handle being stressed out over-burdened, behind deadlines and under the gun, because, unfortunately, that's just life. Why do you think everyone out there in the real world is dropping dead from heart attacks by age 40? From smoking? Well, yeah, (smokers: please send all Patrick Hinson Opinion Columnist Stress is not going to get any better as time goes by. death threats and bitchy letters di- rectly to my editor) but mainly from stress, or from their inability to handle it Now, I know last week I wrote that procrastination, which breeds stress like a fruit fly, was a good thing. However, that article was written un- der the influence of one of my many multiple personalities (Ruby, the transvestite mud wrestler - catch my act at the Silver Bullet on Sunday nights). So just disregard it. Procras- tination is therefore NOT good, but we as a free nation are genetically in- clined to procrastinate, as it is our God-given right as Americans, and we earned it again when we beat the Japa- nese back in '45. Procrastination, among many other things, like our bosses, only serves to make life so much more stressful. So if you're go- ing to do it just accept the conse- quences. So we've established that stress will always be with us (and that I ob- viously had no outline for this article). Now let's think of how to deal with it. Because, after all, if, like myself, you ever make it to graduate school you'd better have some kind of plan for deal- ing with it or you'll soon end up a lip strumming idiot. My advice is to just take life, and stress, as it comes. Set realistic dead- lines (and emergency procedures) for getting things done, not just for this week, but for this semester and year as well. And expect small failures. Like Economics 1000, they will happen. Don't be too hard on yourself (or too easy, for that matter. Screwing around has its place - don't make a career out of it. 1 mean, why do you think all those great philosophers of Ancient Greece were walking around barefoot and in raggedy sheets? Because all they ever did was sit around philoso- phizing, or at least that's my theory. Get a job, Plato!). So get serious. You want to go to med. school, or be a rocket scientist? Fine, find out what you have to do and then plan to DO it,Get serious about what needs to be done, but also about taking care of yourself, mentally and physically, while you do it, be- cause stress will break you down if you don't. You see, life is, or should be, a fine balance between stress and relax- ation, working hard and getting it done and taking care of the old brain cells and body. Don't make a hydro- gen bomb out of a firecracker. When things get ugly or go wrong, take a breather, take another look at those priorities, and if you're still in the game then get up off your ass and take another swing. But en- joy a few sunsets when you can too, because each one is different, and whether you're completely stressed out here in school or digging ditches for a living at home, life is going to go by just as fast so try your best to make the most of it Don't screw it all up. but don't take all this crap too seri- ously either. center of American life Here's the story of the ECU stu- dents, who sit up and watch way too much TV (to be sung to Brady Bunch theme). Yes, this is about the abuse of TV. TV has taken over the lives of just about every person who lives in this country. You can find TVs everywhere you go. In my house alone, we have six, count them, six TVs. Now, that is way too many to have. One should be sufficient per household. If you can recall back when the idea of a television set was first introduced, people were skepti- cal about this new technology. It was believed that this contraption was only for the rich. Well, everyone has them now. It's like a drug; once you start watching, you can not stop. Let's be honest who can sing the entire Brady Bunch theme? I'd be willing to bet that just about all of us can. That's just my point people watch so much TV that the words and tunes become edged into our brains. Television commercials are even worse. For instance, if I were to say, "They're Great what first comes to your mind? If you said Tony the Tiger or Frosted Flakes, then you prove my point even more. That is what is so terrible about Brian Burns Opinion Columnist Don't let TV rot your brain; do something intellectual. TV people sit around and watch it way too much. In fact, households are set up around the TV. Next time you go home, check and see if there is some kind of furniture formation around your TV. Odds are that there is some kind of a U-shaped organization to this display. I admit, I have my couch set up around my TV. It's a habit that we are accustomed to. Kids nowadays are being brought up on television. There are stations specifically set up for kids (i.e. Nickel- odeon). Instead of these kids going outside and having fun, their eyes are glued to the boob tube. These kids do not learn that there is a whole world just outside their door. There are ways to avoid being a couch potato though. For instance, you can go outside and for a nice walk. Perhaps you can catch up on that book that you have been meaning to read. Or even better, dare I say these words, you could study! Oh no, study? Yes, that long past tradition of reading the materials that you are supposed to know for your classes the next day. The television set is supposed to be a good way to spend some extra time. If you notice, I emphasized ex- tra. That is just what I mean. Don't let TV rot your brain; do something intellectual. A good movie is great once in a whi'e, but do not take up the time you should be doing more important things with TV time. I will admit before anyone else, that TV can be great for learning. I too grew up with "Mr. Roger's Neigh- borhood" and "Sesame Street" I also however, went outside, went bike riding or went to the playground. Television has become part of our lives whether we like it or not We can do something about it. We can take those television sets and put them in the corner of our rooms. Put some books or magazines on the table and enjoy a good story! � � Letters to the Editor must include your name, year, major, address.telephone number, AND BE TYPED!

The Mighty Thor, Norse god of thunder, once went by the hu- man name Donald Blake, a New York City doctor. Blake was sup- posedly killed, and Thor briefly took on the identity of Sigurd Jarlson, a construction worker. Such is the lot of a pagan god in today's recessive economy. 2. Bucky, sidekick to the pa- triotic Captain America, was origi- nally a young man named Bucky Barnes, a US Army mascot adopted by Captain America's combat pla- toon in World War II (not the best of secret I.Ds, but it was war time). Barnes was killed in action at the end of the war. In the 1950s, a Commie-bash- ing Captain America and Bucky were created by the US govern- ment This Bucky was named Jack Norris, and his occupation was be- ing Bucky.

Other Green Lanterns include architect John Stewart, high school gym teacher Guy Gardner and the unemployed Kyle Raynor. 5. The Flash has also been sev- eral people. In the '40s, he was Jay Garrick, who is now retired. In the '60s, police chemist Barry Allen be- came the fastest man alive. After Allen's death in the '80s, Wally West (formerly known as Kid Flash) took over. West has held several oc- cupations, but is (for the most part) independently wealthy. 6. The Tick is an escapee from a mental institution. He has no se- cret identity, although he once posed as Mr. Ned, the new cross- word puzzle guy for a great metro- politan newspaper. Only his hyp- notic tie saved his identity (he went to work in-costume). 7. The Human Torch of the 1940s was an android who went by the name John Smith (gosh, those '40s guys were clever!). In the '60s, Smith long forgot- ten, Johnny Storm became the Human Torch as a member of the Fantastic Four (which is his only occupation). 8. The Flaming Carrot has a se- cret identity, but not even his read- ers know what it is; he never takes his costume (a big flaming foam rubber carrot mask) off. We do know that he has speaker in his chest however, and he's been linked to actress Isabella Rossolini. Though he has no job, Flaming Carrot occu- pies his spare time by drinking and hanging out with teenage floozies! books of poetry, including She Had Some Horses, In Mad Love and War, Secrets From the Center of the World, and The Woman Who Fell from the Sky. An anthology of Na- tive women's writing, Reinventing the Enemy's Language, is also in the works. Harjo has already won countless awards including the Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature, the William Carlos Williams Award, the American Book Award and the American Indian Distinguished Achievement Award. Besides having an inclination towards poetry, she is also a dramatic screenwriter and she plays saxophone in her own band, Poetic Justice. For Harjo, writing is a means of survival. "1 don't believe I would be alive today if it hadn't been for writ- ing she said. "There were times when I was conscious of holding on to a pen, and writing the words, pain- ful and from the gut, to keep from letting go of it all. Now, this was when I was much younger, and full of self- hatred.

Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Somewhere out in the far reaches of space, there's a TV stu- dio inhabited by a super hero who's gone off the deep end. Holding an assortment of evil bad guys pris- oner, this champion of justice hopes to rehabilitate them through the magic of television. This is the premise of "Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast the world's first cartoon talk show. Every week, 1960s Saturday morning cartoon hero Space Ghost interviews guests, cracks strange jokes, and banters with his staff of super vil- lains. Airing on the cable Cartoon Network, "Coast-to-Coast" has been a wild success; its quirky humor winning over both viewers and crit- ics. Knowing a good thing when he sees it, Cartoon Network big shot Ted Turner decided to make a spin- off. And so was born "Cartoon Planet which is basically "Coast- to-Coast" with cartoons instead of in-studio guests. If you haven't seen it, dear God people, get to a TV immediately (or at least your next free weekday af- ternoon at 3:05). This is TV of the bizarre, complete non sequetur hu- mor from Dimension X. Basically it's Space Ghost hosting an hour of old cartoons, a formula that should be familiar to anyone who watched a local kids' cartoon show growing up. The cartoons are mostly stan- dard fare (Droopy, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry), but occasionally you'll get a bizarre gem like the Herculoids or, even better, a new cartoon creation like the Power Puff Girls. Also exciting is getting to see an old Space Ghost cartoon, which our hero introduces as a "home movie And speaking of our hero No matter how crazed your local kids' show host seemed, I'm betting he looks downright straight laced next to Space Ghost.

This summer bored moviegoers with bloated, over-budget action films such as Die Hard With a Vengeance and Judge Dredd. It seemed as if a genre had died a hard death. Suddenly at summer's end, in swoops Robert Rodriguez and Anto- nio Banderas with their collaboration Desperado to save the day.

The result is a tightly structured, quickly paced, and intensely fun masterpiece. Acting somewhat as a sequel to Rodriguez's independent wonder E Mariachi (made for $7,000 ), Des- perado features Antonio Banderas as the mythic Mariachi marauder who carries a guitar case filled with an arsenal of destruction. When the film opens with Steve Buscemi narrating a tale about the Mariachi, it becomes obvious that Rodriguez is playing with the idea of a Mexican myth. This is no ordinary guitar-playing fool. This a superhero without a cape, a Mexi- can James Bond if you will. As the nameless hero, Banderas digs into the part he was born to play. He looks great with long, black hair dangling around his even blacker eyes. And watch out when he's forced into action. Banderas does a wonderful job of giving his mariachi character the edge he needs. He's cool and calm and at the same time manic and obsessed. In a hilarious scene where Banderas and a thug frantically dig through a pile of empty guns in search of a loaded one, Banderas illustrates how even a nervous hero can be a menac- ing one. The mariachi's obsession centers around his desire to kill Joquim De Almeida, the man responsible for the death of his lover and the wounding of his guitar playing hand. However, Banderas learns the possibilities of new love when he is joined by the seductive Salma Hayek, who happens to be somewhat involved with De Almeida. Rodriguez does play off other action films, including his own El Mariachi, but he pushes the whole idea of the action genre over the edge. Don't expect realism here. Realism would only take away from the fun. Plenty of action films have had the hero dodging hundreds of bullets and leaping off buildings with gun in hand, but few have been as masterfully handled as Rodriguez's gem. Maybe the limited budget forced Rodriguez to take creative risks, or maybe Rodriguez is just a bit more Desperado is a Hollywood hack job Ike Shibley Senior Writer See UP page 10 Desperado, a new film by Roger Rodriguez, provides ample evidence that bigger does not necessarily mean better. Rodriguez, who won acclaim for his 1992 film El Mariachi (which was shot for $7,000), was wooed by Hollywood to make a film with a tre- mendously larger budget. But that budget, along with a Hollywood men- tality, dooms Desperado completely. El Mariachi was an exercise in minimalism. The film was shot within a two block area on a shoestring bud- get with no-name actors. The storyline gave only the briefest hints as to the identity of the title character. The vio- lence was carefully controlled and used for maximum impact Rodriguez created an atmosphere that perme- ated every scene. Much like a writer should do in a short story, Rodriguez set the haunting, desolate mood with his opening sentence (scene) and maintained that same tone through- out the story (film). The dream sequences that appear intermittently in El Mariachi defy easy interpretation. More than an at- tempt to explore the main character's psyche, the dreams serve to perpetu- ate the eerie ambiance of the film. The dreams also foreshadow the film's tragic ending. The end of Desperado is only the beginning of its problems. The Rodriguez that made El Mariachi had the integrity to tell his story the way he deemed appropriate; it had an un- happy ending. The Rodriguez of Des- perado succumbs to the Hollywood mentality of sending the audience home happy: bad guys killed, hero gets girl. Constantly comparing Desperado to El Mariachi may seem unfair and if Desperado had not been a sequel to the earlier film, I would agree. But when a filmmaker opts to make a se- quel he must be willing to accept the harsh light of interrogation as to why he altered so much in his follow-up film when the original worked well. Instead of a short, evocatively moody tale of tragic love, Rodriguez filmed Desperado as comic book story with a soap opera plot. One of the most tragic mistakes in Desperado is replacing Carlos Gallardo, the original Mariachv with Antonio Banderas. Though Banderas does a respectable job, his presence is distracting when one has already envisioned Gallardo as the main char- acter. Especially distracting is when Gallardo makes a cameo as one of the Mariachi's friends in one of the most idiotic sequences of the film (which involves a guitar case that launches rockets!). Rodriguez's only goal in Des- perado seems to be to send indiscrimi- nating viewers home smugly satisfied. He fills his film with so much violence See DOWN page 10 Coming soon for your edification and amusement: Thursday, September 7 Faculty Jazz Band at Staccato Cafe and Grille Purple Schoolbus at the Attic Homebrew at Peasant's Cafe Movie: The Brady Bunch at Hendrix Theatre (comedy) 8:00 p.m. FREE!

Though the violence it- self is adroitly choreographed (al- though Rodriguez has much learn- ing to do from Woo), the feats of the Mariachi attain mythical proportions and jolt the viewer into a reactive stance. "That just can't happen the viewer will think. The Mariachi jumps backward across rooftops, falls sev- eral stories, lands on his back, then quickly jumps up to shoot some more villains. In another equally prepos- terous scene the Mariachi dances across a bar while men with machine guns fire all around him without leav- ing so much as a scratch on the hero. Yet Rodriguez shoots several scenes to show the Mariachi's vulner- ability. One tediously long sequence has his new girlfriend (Salma Hayek) pulling out a bullet. Another excru- ciating - in every sense of the word - scene has the same woman treat- ing stab wounds. This vulnerability is inconsistent with the earlier scenes and thus detracts from the feel of the film. One especially annoying scene in Desperado involves a cameo by Quentin Tarrantino. This scene, in which Tarrantino's character tells a tired joke, is so hopelessly out of place and so badly mangled by Tarrantino that I suggest a morato- rium be placed on Tarrantino's act- ing. Isn't he busy enough writing and directing? Desperado is easily one of the biggest cinematic disappointments this year. The Rodriguez who seemed like a promising talent in El Mariachi now seems like a one-hit wonder. How does Hollywood continually ruin talented people? I suppose the allure of big money proves too entic- ing for young filmmakers. Unfortu- nately, in accepting the cash, a film- maker usually accepts the studio heads' all too keen sense of commer- cialism which can ruin many a prom- ising work of art On a scale of one to 10, Des- perado rates a four. talented than most other action di- rectors, but Desperado is just sim- ply a beautiful film to watch. The camera makes love to the actors as it swoops around the tightly choreo- graphed action. The film seems to capture the heat and sweat of the Mexican wasteland, and the soundtrack fits perfectly into the film's idiom. Placing the cherry on top of this delicious treat are several wonderful cameos. Steve Buscemi gets to talk tall tales of the mariachi myth. Cheech Marin gets to serve piss-flavored beer to the dregs of society. And Quentin Tarantino, to the delight of many, I'm sure, gets a bullet in the head. Desperado may be too over-the- top for some, but it plays on that qual- ity well. I applaud Rodriguez for play- ing with the mythic nature of the ac- tion genre, because the myth that is Hollywood is starting to become a cliche. On a scale of one to 10, Des- perado rates a nine.

Aaron Wilson Staff Writer For the second week in a row ECU plays one of America's top ranked foot- ball teams, last week they faced the No. 8 team in Tennessee, this weekend's game is the 20th ranked Syracuse Orangemen in the USA TodayCNN Coach's poll (AP, 22nd). They are coming off a im- pressive 20-9 win over the North Carolina TarHeels in Chapel Hill last week. Steve Logan and his 0- 1 Pirate football team hope to accomplish several things this week versus the Syracuse Orangemen in the extremely loud Carrier Dome. First, break a two game losing streak that started last season with the 30-0 loss to Illinois in the Liberty Bowl, and this season opener's 27-7 loss to the Tennes- see Volunteers. Also, a win would break a three year losing streak to the Orangemen including two lop- sided defeats (42-21 in 1992 and 41-22 in 1993) Scoring points would be nice o, the Pirates have only scored once in their past eight quarters of play. They have been outscored 57-7 in those eight quarters. Against top ranked teams like Ten- nessee and the 111ini the offense has sputtered, especially the pass- ing game which has had six inter- ceptions in the past two games. To break this losing streak ECU must stop the option play, concentrating on who has the foot- hall, quarterback, fullback up the middle, the pitchout to the tailback and reverse to the wideouts. Playing sound assign- ment football is the key to beat- ing this talented football team. The outlook though, is not as bad as most people would have you See LOSS page 13 Runners prepared for c95 season Men's, women's cross country team ready to run Misha Zonn Staff Writer All of those grueling hours spent running in the summer heat will fi- nally begin to pay off as the ECU Cross Country teams begin their season. Both the men's and women's teams will be running in the Pembroke State Invitational in Lumberton North Caro- lina on Sept. 9. On the women's side, Erin Quinn and Megan McGruder are the lone seniors. McGruder ran track last year and Quinn was usually .around the seventh spot on the cross country team. Coach Charlie Justice believes that his two seniors are important to the team even though they may not be in the top pack. "They lead by example and by their hard work in practice Justice said. "They are good about giving the other girls some insight on being com- petitive and being focused The main focus of the team is the stringent competition for the top five spots. Dava Rhodes holds the top spot, but the other spots are yet to be de- termined. "This is the first time that we have had this many good runners Justice said. "The competition is good because they can work together and make each other faster because they are running together Karen Reinhard, a transfer from Oklahoma, is one of the women com- peting for the top spots. She has been working hard all summer in order to condition herself for the season. "The running groups are set up into three groups Reinhard said. "I am in the higher mileage group. We have been running from 40 minutes to an hour and 15 per day. There has been a lot of weight training, which includes a high repetition of sit ups Reinhard be- lieves that the �' the best teams we have had in years. Michael Marini is the top returner on the team. He was freshman of the year last year. Marini and freshman Jamie Mance were high school rivals in Dela- ware and now they are on the same team. So, there is a little bit of a bond there already Since the team does not have any seniors. it will have to look to junior Larry Lewis and transfer Rod Reeves for lead- ership. Lewis thinks that the season can be a successful one now that the 'They lead by example and by their hard work in practice � Coach Charlie Justice competition for the top spots is posi- tive for the team even though it can be stressful at times. "Cross country is more of a team sport than track where everyone is going off and doing their own thing. In cross country it really helps to have your teammates there pushing you to run faster. If we have seven people working together aggressively then we will have a good team The men's team finished fifth in the CAA last year and returns a team filled with new faces.

Photo Courtesy of ECU SID Stand out tackle quietly does job Ron Suddith Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Big, fast objects race forward at breakneck speed, closing in hot pur- suit of their prize. Sounds like a Nascar race, with souped up cars and determined drivers pushing for the finish line and cash money. Instead these objects are huge defensive line- men, who run 40-yard dashes as fast as many defensive backs trying to crush the quarterback. Each week, the Pirate offensive line faces standout pass rushers who rely on speed to get the job done. In the Liberty Bowl, they blocked the No. 1 NFL prospect for the 1996 draft in Illinois All-American defensive end Simeon Rice. In the season opener versus Tennessee Leonard Little, a junior college transfer who was se- lected by The Sporting News as the SEC's Defensive Newcomer of the Year went after Marcus Crandell. This week they face the Syracuse Orangemen in the friendly confines of the Carrier Dome. Defensive coor- dinator Norm Gerber has embraced that Miami Hurricanes' defensive phi- losophy which emphasizes size over speed. Big linebackers get down in three-point stances and cornerbacks and safeties move up towards the line of scrimmage as run stoppers. In past years the defensive line has been home to current NFL standouts like Kevin Mitchell (49ers), Tim Green (Atlanta Falcons) and Rob Burnett of the Cleveland Browns. This type of challenge doesn't bother Ron Suddith, a 6-foot-2, 297 pound junior offensive tackle for the East Carolina Pirates. The All-Inde- pendent selection by The Sporting News and Football News doesn't let much bother him at all, in football or in life. Suddith, a All-State performer from Miami, Fla. is used to chal- lenges. He was the state runner up as a heavyweight wrestler and played in the prestigious Florida-Georgia All- Star Game but still was shaky on his college choice. He visited Miami (Fla.) Tennes- see, Florida and Auburn but had to turn down scholarship offers, while waiting to meet entrance require- ments. East Carolina assistant coach Chuck Pagano, currently the UM sec- ondary coach kept after Suddith and suddenly he was a Pirate, quickly be- coming a standout blocker for line coach Jeff Jagodzinski. The names Dave Rebar, Scott Freeney and Jason Walters don't mean much to him. It is just another game he must prepare for in block- ing for the Pirate backfield of Marcus Crandell and tailback Jerris McPhail. Suddith is used to pressure after be- ing thrown to the football wolves against the fearsome University of Washington defense as a freshman. "They don't look very big Suddith said. "They are pretty good athletes but seem to be all speed rushers, definitely not as big as UT. I feel like we match up well with them. They don't seem to be very big or physical The SU defensive line features no player larger than 250 pounds but theywork hard at running compli- cated stunts and blitzes to get to the quarterback. They line up differently almost every time to create confusion for offenses. Suddith and company rely on line calls and hand signals to adjust their blocking patterns to sto-p them. Sort of complicated for the �� erage fan who thinks line play is -�'ll pushing and shoving. Almost like a chess match. The zone dive play that was par- ticularly effective for the rushing game last week versus UT may be an even bigger part of the offense this week against the undersized Orangemen. "We plan on running that play until they stop it Suddith said. "We are not changing our game plan at See SUDDITH page 13 Atlanta receiver big time Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Aaron Wilson Staff Writer Steve Logan's intricate pro style attack is based on spreading the football around and getting sev- eral of his talented receivers into the game plan. In Saturday's loss seven different wideouts caught passes from Marcus Crandell for an aver- age of 9.6 per catch. Jason Nichols led all Pirate re- ceivers with seven catches for 48 yards. He also returned punts, re- placing outside linebacker Morris Foreman. Nichols led the team with 42 catches last season. Derrek Batson, a 5-foot-10, 192 pound senior ran crisp, intermedi- ate routes, getting open to catch four passes for 56 yards. He also did an outstanding job of blocking the Tennessee defensive backs, in sup- port of tailback Jerris McPhail. Batson missed spring practice due to a disciplinary suspension. Mitchell Galloway (three catches) and Larry Shannon (one catch for 22 yards) played solid games but on the deep ball were unable to convert. Shannon had two opportunities for long touchdowns, one was wrestled away from him by the UT free safety and he was over- thrown on another. Galloway slowed down on one pass over his shoulder and appeared to have a chance at catching a first quarter Crandell bomb but didn't run through the football, falling short in a diving at- tempt. "We had three opportunities for touchdowns and we didn't execute Logan said. "It is a difference of just a few plays between the number eight team in the country in Ten- nessee and a unranked team like us. We had chances to score on long passes but didn't take advantage of them Two bright spots for receivers coach Doug Martin was the play of two newcomers, redshirt freshman Mike Sellers and true freshman Troy Smith. Sellers, a 6-foot-3, 185 pounder scored ECU's only touch- down with a short touchdown catch with three minutes to go in the first half. Sellers bulled over two UT de- fensive backs to reach the end zone. The former high school quarter- back from Newton County, Ga. over- came offseason shoulder surgery to have a strong fall camp. He played in one game (Temple) last season be- fore injuring the shoulder, forcing a medical redshirt. His blend of size and athleticism (4.5-40 yard dash) gives the offense in Steve Logan's words, "another tall, athletic player on the perimeter. Sellers has an out- standing pedigree for the game, with relatives including All-Pro cornerback Dale Carter of the Kan- sas City Chiefs and wideout Jake Reed of the Minnesota Vikings. Troy Smith is ECU's most her- alded recruit in many years, choos- ing ECU amongst some heavy com- petition including the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The local product from Greenville Rose got off to a hot start Saturday in a small taste of game action. He caught an 18 yard See ECU page 13 The song "Georgia on my Mind" is the state song for the Peach State and it is a tune ECU head coach Steve Logan might hum to himself before he goes to sleep. It has brought talent like wideouts Clayton Driver and Jason Nichols, defen- sive performers Lorenzo West. B.J. Crane. Emmanuel McDaniel and Hank Cooper. The play- ers reci uited by former assistant Bob Babich (Pitt) and cur- rent Georgia re- cruiter Doug Martin have made their share of big plays over the years from Driver's Peach Bowl heroics to Crane. McDaniel and Cooper's interception for touchdowns they have had a definite im- pact for the Pirates. "He told me that they expected a lot from me and they knew I could play better � Mike Sellars Last year's recruiting class brought two more standouts from down south. Mike Sellers a 6-foot-3 185 pound ath- lete from Newton County High School, and Bernard Lackey, a defensive back running back from rival school Rockdale County both in the Atlanta MetroPlex decided to stick together and attend col- lege here in Greenville. Sellers who moved to the small town of Covington af- ter living in the heart of the city for most of his teenage years, quickly became a household item of con- versation in a place where football is king He became a standout in four sports, lettering in football, basketball and baseball three times and track and field, four. He drew the most attention playing out of position at option quarterback even though most schools thought of him as a wide ceiver.

ECU was edged out 21-18 last season in Dowdy-Ficklen Sta- dium, losing an opportunity to win the game when the Pirates' two minute drill faltered. They clearly outplayed Syracuse but head coach Paul Pasqualoni and his team flew home to New York, vic- torious again. "We are tired of losing to Syra- cuse senior running back Jerris McPhail said. "They are a team that we match up well with and still they have found a way each time to beat us. We feel like this time things are going to be differ- ent and we can run the football on them McPhail who rushed for 108 yards on 23 carries last game is determined to continue the magic that Jeff Blake and the 1991 Peach Bowl team started in the 'Dome the last time an East Carolina team played up there. Blake engineered a dynamic 23-20 comeback that sparked the 11 game win streak on their way to the No 9 national ranking in the country. This year's Pirate team isn't the inexperienced group that Malcolm Thomas. Marvin Harrison and departed senior quarterback Kevin Mason put up big numbers against last year. ECU returns al- most it's entire starting lineup from last year's 7-5 group. The tal- ent and depth at each position particularly wide receiver and the offensive line may be the best in the school's history. It is Syracuse that lacks expe- rience at several key positions, mainly at quarterback. After a pre- season struggle with fellow under- classmen Keith Downing and Kevin Johnson, redshirt freshman Donovan McNabb has won the starting job. He made an impres- sive debut versus Carolina going 10-16 for 120 yards, also running the option well. The 6-foot-l, 210 pound former Parade Ail-American from Mt. Carmel, III. has a scrambling, exciting running style that is remi- niscent of past All-American QB Marvin Graves. "He is a very, very athletic quarterback Logan said. "You could tell it was his first game, but he is very fast. When Carolina flushed him out of the pocket that was the best thing they could do for him because he could get out- side and outrun everybody Don't be surprised if ECU de- fensive coordinator Paul Jette blitzes the young quarterback or if Downing or Johnson see some action as well. McNabb has not ex- actly nailed down the starting po- sition for good. The Orangemen return both starting running backs in Malcolm Thomas and Terry Morris. Thomas rushed for 80 yards in last year's game and is a slashing back with good speed and size. Tebucky Jones is an exciting big-back who has a lot of potential, he will see significant action behind Thomas. Morris is used primarily for block- ing. Their offensive line is not quite as good as Tennnessee's but it is a solid group that returns three starters. Guard Cy Ellsworth and tackle Jim Ledger are Syracuse's best returning offensive linemen. The wide receiver core like ECU is the best unit on SU's team. Marvin Harrison is an outstanding NFL prospect, with the speed to get deep. He along with veterans Jim Turner (also returns kicks) and SirMawn Wilson is one of the big- gest and fastest groups of receiv- ers in the country. At tight end big sophomores Kaseem Sinceno and Roland Williams share the posi- tion. On defense the Orange fea- tures a quick, attacking group that is slightly undersized. Dave Rebar. Scott Freeney and Jason Walters are all highly skilled and fast con- verting from linebacker. Antonio Anderson, Jeff Danish and Andre Smith are conventionally sized de- fensive linemen. At outside linebacker Nate Hemsley was named the Big East Conference Defensive Player of the week after recording 10 tackles and a 29 yard interception return versus the TarHeels. Dulayne Mor- gan, Antwaune Ponds and Chris Marques are also gifted pass rush- ers and run stoppers. Ponds lines up inside along with junior Dana Cottrell. Ponds was the ECAC Rookie of the Year last season. This group loves to blitz and pen- etrate the backfield. The secondary isn't the big- gest group but does have speed and experience. Kevin Abrams led the Big East in pass breakups. He is joined at the other corner spot by Rod Gadson and Phil Nash. At the safeties Darrell Parker returns at strong and is a physical tackier. Donovin Darius is an outstanding athlete at the free safety position. The Orangemen feature two returning kickers in punter Sean Reali and placekicker Olindo Mare. Both shared several of the kicking duties a year ago. For ECU to win this football game they must contain the option and be clear on who has quarter- back and pitch containment on each play. The play action pass out of the option package has hurt the Pirates over the years. They must be aware of this play. On offense the line must continue to give Marcus Crandell time to hit his tal- ented receivers. The Pirates have a legitimate chance at scoring a lot of points on this small SU second- ary and coming home with a win from the Carrier Dome for the sec- ond straight time.

Smith was rated among the Top 15 receivers in the country last vear after a three year career in which he caught 134 passes for 2,088 yards and 27 touchdowns. The progress of Sellers and Smith adds outstanding depth to a position already deep in talent that will lose only one player (Batson) to graduation. Despite the missed op- portunities, Pirate quarterback Marcus Crandell has a variety of weapons to throw to. Batson, Linwood DeBrew and Nichols excel on the short routes and Galloway and Shannon are accomplished at catch- ing the deep ball.

This was after bigger univer- sities like Michigan, Alabama and Virginia backed off of him after he failed to make the required SAT score on his first try but succeeded on his second attempt After meeting Georgia players like Crane and West on his visit his mind was made up he would play football for Steve I ogan and major in Communications. "Originally, me, Bernard and a full- back from Clarke Central named Rip Kendrick were going to all come here Seller said. "Rip committed first but didn't get into school, then Bernard and then me. I was leaning towards Hawaii but my mom thought that was too far for me to go to school. Bernard turned down Indiana and Mississippi State and we both signed lackey, one of the fastest players on the team is a physical player on the Pirate special teams and quality reserve at safety and comerback. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash this spring during testing. Sellers became the second option QB to convert to wide receiver at ECU, the first being standout flanker Jason Nichols from Norcross, Ga. Nichols led ECU in receptions with 42 in his first year as a starter. His first season was ended by a medical redshirt caused by a recurring shoulder injury that he suffered in his first game action versus Temple and kept him out of most of spring practice. After a fall camp slump in which his confidence dipped, wide receivers coach Doug Mar- tin the man who recruited Sellers had a long talk with the second-year player. "He told me that they expected a lot from me and they knew I could play better Sellers said. "I worked harder and 1 started to play better In one scrimmage Sellers made sev- eral long catches impressing Logan. "He gives us another tall, athletic player on the perimeter to throw to And threw to him they did in the season opener versus Tennessee, with Sellers scoring the Pirates' lone touch- down. He used his size and 4.5 speed to get open, putting his body between the defender and the football. The second quarter score gave Sellers increased con- fidence and belief in himself. "I felt pretty comfortable out there because it wasn't my first game Sellers said. "In the red zone the coaches stress that in practice we must come away with a score. I just try to get out of my cut fast and Marcus got me the football in good position to make the play As far as goals he doesn't set many individual ones, just to stay healthy all season, play hard and catch the ball ev ery time he has a chance to. Sellers wants to go back to the Liberty Bowl and con- tinue to represent Atlanta well. "Me and Bernard we saw how the other guys from back home were doing well up here and we just wanted to con- tinue that" Sellers said. "We feel liked there is a tradition for Georgia players up here and we want to be a big part of that" This year's class includes Freddie Claybrooks, a defensive end from Lomn West's alma mater, Decatur High School and Tohma McMillan, a outside linebacker from Cross Keys in Atlanta. McMillan saw action versus Tennessee and Claybrooks is redshirted. The chances of next year's class including more Georgia players is definitely a safe bet georges hair designs WE BRING OUT YOUR BEST Treat yourself to lots of great looks for the new year with: cuts coloring frosts highlighting perms waxing tanning At M.lllv ill I I .HUM lllllIM Ills Welcome Eack Students & faculty �full service unisex salt n tannina skin & nail tare latest in facial & Im �lv wax nrcfessicnal hair prcilucts I georges hair designs S2.CC Cff All Services Expires 9-30-9$ I P SialnnrJoc I I I I I I III' I J.is.l 4.�ll 4 � �M-ll III IKtl. 4 II �ll �t II .III! ��lll MllMl.lt liMII 4 IMII ieqrles "j 1 hair designs , SA.CC , I Off I I I Ol IIIS,I lUlllilillU j I cr Tannlna lack j L � 2lr�S 2L5JL lit Ji I li.il !�� I l�l. lt� IHS Men I rl l.iiii sum N.i i lam Mm georges hair designs S2.CC Cff All Haircuts I j hair designs i i i I Expires? -3CJ-91 � Sl.11114 il SUlldI4� 4 ll Ml.illl.

The best way to accomplish that is by chop blocking down low around the knees and ankles, a tactic em- braced by the offensive line, not as a cheap shot but legally and within the rules. Suddith and the rest of the of- fensive line of Charles Boothe, Jamie Gray, Kevin Wiggins and Lamont Burns aren't all brute force and size out there. All five of the starters be- sides Suddith are former defensive lineman and have been clocked un- der 5.0 in the 40-yard dash. Suddith is the biggest at nearly 300 pounds and runs a 5.2. good speed for a of- fensive tackle who may project to guard at the next level. Talk of the pro's isn't what he is focusing on now. It is a business-like approach, another game, time to go to work. "I'm not the type of guy who beats his head against his locker be- fore a game Suddith said. "I just relax and do my best each week. This game is just a chance for a win and a good offensive performance CALHOUN from page 1 I know is it will take a miracle to save the love of my life Calhoun was transported by he- licopter to Pitt County Memorial and the prognosis seemed hopeful until late Saturday night when Dr. Toochy, a nine-year veteran of spinal cord in- juries who has worked seven years at the Miami Project, a world-renowned neurosurgical center examined him. The paralysis was obvious, but X Rays revealed three fractures of the important C-5 vertebrae which caused the quadraplegia, the inability to move the arms, legs and the trunk of the body. The doctor and his staff worked diligently to realign his twisted spinal cord, which was almost bent in two. They used a 20-pound weight to pull the spine back out to its proper alignment and worked on fusing the bones and cleaning out the bone chips. A HALO cast was affixed to his head, an orthopedic device used to immobilize the neck and head. It in- corporates the whole upper torso, secured by pins to a band around the upper skull area. The problem was during the pro- cedure, one of Jim's major arteries to the brain became clogged, and he wasn't getting precious blood to the brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the motor, sensory and re- flex functions. This caused the stroke which leaves him currently unable to talk, feel or hear anything. "This is the worst injury of its type that I have ever seen Toochy said. Jim's uncle Terry Barbour is an international sales manager for Hardee's Corporation in Rocky Mount. He is a tall, neatly dressed man who remains exceedingly calm and strong in this crisis. He has two young children who looked up to Calhoun as a role model. "Jim is the type of kid you want your kids to grow up to be like Barbour said. "He wasn't perfect, but he was a good, decent young man who cared about others and left a positive impression on everyone he met. He excelled in sports and wanted to be an athletic director or coach at the university level. He loved basketball and baseball, and he was good enough to play for small school, but he wanted to be a part of big-time college athlet- ics so after going to N.C. State for a year he transferred to ECU and he was doing real well in his major, Business Administration. "I just don't see how it is fair for someone like Jim who had his priori- ties in order and so much to offer to people to have something like this happen. You always have hope, and you can pray for miracles, but realisti- cally there isn't much hope left. His injuries are pretty devastating. His chances have gone from 50-50 to 5- 5 The Calhouns are comforted, even amazed at how many friends Jim has. Over 100 people have stopped by. The basketball team and coaching staff present them with a jersey for Jim, and a signed basketball. The university seems to anticipate everything they need - meals, a place to stay, whatever. They regret that more people didn't know their son, particularly young people. He influenced many youngsters through his coaching to make positive choices, but the Clahouns feel bad for those who won't have the opportunity to play for him. They are not giving up by any means, neither is Jim, they know he is fighting for his life in that room. Tonya Oxendine's eyes water and tear time and time again. Thoughts and emotions run through this young lady whose world seemed perfect She does well in school, plays for a top softball team and had a loving boyfriend who could always make her laugh. Why, why would God do this to her, to Jim and his family? He is running a temperature today and they have to put him on a cooling blanket to bring the fever down. They are doing some more X-Rays to see if there is more damage than they first noticed. His breathing is troubled and they say there may be some respiratory problems. Tonya gets even angrier and frus- trated. She and the Calhouns have prayed around the clock, never leaving Jim's side. Doesn't anyone out there hear them? School is the last thing on her mind but she goes to class, going through the mo- tions. She mentions a poem, an anony- mous selection that her roommate Jean Marie gave to her. It makes her feel better in this trying time. And you learn to build all your roads on today. Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. And futures have a way of falling in mid-flight After a while you team That even sunshine bums if you get too much So you plant your own gar- den and decorate your own soul. Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure That you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you leam and learn With every goodbye you learn. - "Comes Dawn the Road" Jim Calhoun remains in critical con- dition. His parents have instructed Dr. Toochy and his medical staff to continue to take every measure as long as his heart is beating. They continue to pray and hope for a miracle.
