September 28,1995 Vol71,No. 11 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 14 pa3es Around the State (AH) - As many as 4 million fish have died in the past week in the lower Neuse River because of a toxic algae. Researchers believe the al- gae, a dinoflagellate named pfiesteria, is triggered by nutri- ents in rain runoff and sewage discharges. Fish continued dying Tues- day as the effect of the organism intensified. Rick Dove of the Neuse River Foundation said the dead fish were found with open sores on them in a thick oily sub- stance with brown foam, The Sun Journal of New Bern reported Wednesday. (AP - Narrow guidelines have apparently prevented North Carolina women from seeking state funds to get an abortion, and officials say the money may re- main untouched. Last year, the state's abortion fund paid for 4,587 abortions. So far this year, it hasn't paid for even one. To qualify for state funds under the legislature's new rules, a woman must be the victim of rape or incest or face life-threat- ening complications with her pregnancy. Also, her family's in- come must fall below the federal poverty line.

Professor charged with assault Police serve criminal summons to Flanagan Tambra Zion News Editor A criminal summons was served to an ECU chemistry professor on Sept. 20 in the Flanagan Building, following an alleged assault on a stu- dent. Communications major Vince Ronald Mercuri,21, filed a report with ECU's Police Department against David Lunney for allegedly pushing him off a sidewalk on Sept 9. Mercuri said he was walking with a friend in front of the greenhouse at the Biology building when Lunney approached him on the sidewalk. "He just gave me a shoulder, like a forearm into my side, I thought it was one of my friends Mercuri said. Mercury said he was not hurt by the alleged contact, but said he felt something should be done. "I'm certain the allegation is a misdemeanor offense said University Attorney Ben Irons. "This is a rela- tively minor incident What some might consider minor has led to a student filing charges against a faculty member and will soon be in court Lunney chose not to comment, but called the charges "utterly unfounded The trial date has been set for Oct. 16. "When Vince came to me. I didn't spend enough time talking with him about the incident and all the options to help the parties in- volved come to a reasonable solu- tion Dean of Students Ronald Speier said. He regrets not taking a more active role in mediating the situation. "As dean of students, I have a responsibility to students " Mercuri also regrets the matter will result in a trial, but said he be- lieved he had no other options. He said Speier advised him to contact ECU police who in turn told Mercuri he could choose to press charges or not. "He didn't say he was sorry I never would have thought about do- ing something like this (going to court). I was trying to find other ways with the police Mercuri said. Mercuri is planning to find rep- resentation in the District Attorney's office, or to represent himself. According to Assistant District Attorney Glen Perry, if found guilty, the Class 1 misdemeanor carries a punishment of up to 120 days in jail. but rarely amounts to that. "We have structured sentencing now - it passed last October. If a per- son has no prior record, he's sen- tenced at a Level I. Under current law all the judge could do would be to give community punishment Perry said. "If a person has one to five prior convictions, he could get jail Perry said the courts take the victim's desires into account but added, "we generally do not dismiss assault cases School of Medicine researches fat gene Research may lead to heart disease treatments Joann Reed Staff Writer Election results Photo by KEN CLARK Less than 500 of ECU'S 17,000 students voted in Student Government Association's class officer elections yesterday.

Researchers at ECU's School of Medicine are conducting studies on a gene that could help people suffer- ing from morbid obesity and type II (obesity related) diabetes. The research team lead by Dr. Stephen Usala, an assistant profes- sor of endocrinology at ECU's School of Medicine, recently received a grant for $91,000 from the American Dia- betes Association. "This institution has a long his- tory of doing premier research with patients suffering from morbid obe- sity and type II diabetes Usala said. "What opened up doors in obesity research was the discovery, less than a year ago. of the obesity (ob) gene The ob gene, a protein which suppresses and controls appetite, was cloned last December by researcher Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller Uni- versity. The research found that the ob gene clearly causes obesity in a strain of inbred mice. According to Dr. Kirk Ways, as sociate professor, and director of the ECU Diabetes Cen- ter, "The research grant was obtained to see if the ob gene is expressed differently in hu- mans ECU'S re- search will focus on two areas.

"There is still no evidence that the ob gene can help regulate regu- lar weight-loss Usala said. Report conflicts with survey Marguerite Benjamin Senior Writer A recent "Pirates on the Street" survey conducted randomly on campus suggests that students are very environmentally aware and believe recycling is a worthwhile project, yet a detailed report pre- pared by the North Carolina Office of Waste Reduction in Raleigh shows those students may not prac- tice what they preach. According to the most recent annual report concerning recycling among North Carolina state agen- cies, ECU is ranked the highest (in terms of the total number of pounds recycled) of the 18 state universities who reported having a recycling pro- gram, but a closer look at the report shows that stu- dents should not take credit for our ranking. ECU's total amount of mate- rials recycled from July 1 to June 30 weighs in at an impres- sive 3,880.709 pounds. The only other universities coming close to this figure is N.C. State, whose total is 3.675,060, and UNC- "The fact is, there are some real problems with ECU's recycling program � George Armistead, manager of Hazardous Wastes at ECU Chapel Hill who reported 3,077,240 pounds.

"When all you look at is the num- ber of pounds we recycled, you Student Recycling 2,000.000 1.500.000 1,000.000 Stale Armistead said "According to the report, about 3 million of the 3,880,709 pounds we recycled came from construction debris and yard wastes. So if students really are recycling as much as they say they are. there is something terribly wrong with these fig- ures As far as indi- vidual ma- overlook what percentage of each material recycled makes up that total According to the report, the material? students are most active in recycling - aluminum cans, glass containers and nlastic containers, actually make up less than one per- cent of ECU's total recycled mate- rials. "If you pay careful attention to the charts in the report Armistead added, "you can very eas- ily see that students had very little to do with why the university is ranked so high According to Armistead and to report data, institutional materials make up almost 90 percent of the materials recycled by the university. Institutional materials are defined as those materials mainly handled by the campus maintenance staff. These materials include cardboard, yard wastes, food service wastes and other non-student recyclable materials. "What's peculiar about the large amount of institutional mate- rials recycled, is that 70 percent of those materials are generated by the construction projects on cam- pus, and another large percentage comes from yard wastes terials recycled, those materials for which students hold the most re- sponsibility, are concerned. ECU re- ported 416.675 pounds compared to the 618,752 pounds reported by N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hills re- port of 1,854,860 pounds. At 8,612 pounds, aluminum cans make up the largest percentage of in- dividual materials recycled at ECU. while UNC-Chapel Hill reported hav- ing recycled 45,920 pounds. In fact, even Appalachian State, whose stu- dent enrollment is nowhere near ECU's. reported having recycled 13,667 pounds of aluminum cans. Of the four other universities mentioned, ECU recycled the least amount of glass containers (only 5,720 pounds), while UNC Chapel Hill recycled the most, outweighing our total by about 280,000 pounds. "So if our ranking was based on what students recycled Armistead added, "we would be pretty close to dead-last Residence Halls Housekeeping Manager Patti Gullihur said that in order to increase the amount of ma- terials students recycle, the students themselves have to put forth a little more effort "Basically what it all amounts to is training ourselves Gullihur said. "Sometimes it takes more effort than we are willing to exercise because we tend to get lazy. It's so much easier to just throw everything into the trash than it is to .separate plastic from paper and so on. "Housekeepers do a good job of trying to separate the things that are put into the trash cans in the resi- dence halls, but it's really not up to them. We each need to play our part if we want to see an improvement Gullihur also said more recycling bins should be available, especially for plastics and glass, but first stu- dents should make sure they are us- ing current bins. "There's just not much incentive among students to recycle said Joy Hudson, the recycling coordinator for Pitt County, it's just not very con- venient since there are not bins for plastics and glass in each residence hall. Students would much rather throw everything in the trash than travel to another building to dispose of plastics Hudson said she feHs the uni- versity needs to do more to encour- age recycling, and that students should be made aware of all of the ways they can help. According to Hudson, the Greenville community is a leader in recycling. The city's recycling pro- gram has won awards on both the regional and national levels. Greenville currently recycles more than 30 percent of its waste stream. We're increasing the amount we recycle all of the time Hudson said. "And we will continue to look for new ways to improve our pro- gram As a whole, Greenville is going over and beyond the recycling speci- fications set by the Department of Environment. Health and Natural Resources, but ECU has some im- provements to make in order to reach those standards. For now, ECU remains at the top of the recycling list, but when the construction stops and the dust settles, the university may find itself at the bottom of the barrel.

ECU students in the School of Medicine will join thousands of other medical students around the United States in learning about primary care as a career option during the second annual National Primary Care Day. National Primary Care Day is being held today. Students at 141 allopathic and osteopathic medical schools will participate. "The response from the residents and students towards the different activities that were planned this week has been good Fortner said. "I am really pleased at the success of the programs Started in 1994. the event was formed to increase awareness of medi- cal students and society to primary care medicine. This event helps medi- cal students learn the advantages of becoming generalist physicians with skills in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. The goal of National Primary Care Day is, "To get the word out about what primary care really is. People don't understand what pri- mary care physicians do said Ami Ingram, a fourth year medical student at ECU, in a recent article in Medical Center Mews.

Simon's work on the Polish parliament will be the opening chapter. "We're really very pleased, be- cause this is a good example of a.n international team of scholars shar- ing their insights, and trying to break new ground Simon said. While the group was working on projects concerning the new par- liaments of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, a troubling thought occurred to them. "We became concerned that this valuable information about the new parliaments would get lost Simon said. "So we started propos- ing to various parliamentary librar- ians and scholars that we attempt some kind of project to create a cen- tral archive for those kinds of docu- ments, so that scholars around the world could use them. "So the idea was essentially one that came out of necessity, and it turns out that it was a very good idea, because the National Science Foundation has very graciously pro- vided us with funds to carry out the project Currently, the group is collect- ing very basic documents about parliament members and legislative activities, including such things as how many laws are passed, and how many sessions are held. The National Science Founda- tion grant, which will support the project for five years with $145,000, was not easy to obtain. "It's a lot of hard work Simon said. "You have to come up with a very good idea. The proposals are very difficult to write. They have to have some validity as research projects, and they must have some promise to break ground. There's a lot of grueling, intricate writing that has to be done. "We received support from our Offices of Sponsered Programs, but in the end, you have to wait until panels of outside reviewers decide that the project is one that is more meritorious than others that have been proposed For now. the project will cover five years, beginning with the 1989 fall of communism, going through the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union until the year 1994.

"Many students in the medical field feel that they are alreadv com- mitted to the primary care field said Tom Fortner. director of the Medical Center News and Information Office. "For those who are less certain, this provides them with the information and helps them to raise their aware- ness of their options. " Fortner said many people do not realize that primary care does not just take place in a typical doctor's office.

The group has already ap- plied for additional grants, with which they hope to expand the project "We would hope to have more information about the political bi- ographies of members, the activi- ties of specialized committees within parliaments, the structure and activities of political parties and information about public opin- ion about the functioning of the parliaments Simon said. The group won't know the fate of a grant proposal for a four-coun- try survey until 1996, but they hope to receive an answer to their second proposal, to study members of the Czech parliament, by the end of this year. "We hope down the line to have one archive set up in a Euro- pean center. Not necessarily a uni- versity, it may be in something like the Interparliamentary Union in Switzerland, but that is something we have some time to consider Simon said. "We hope to have some kind of workshop here next spring, which would bring some people here to ECU who are interested in this comparative parliamentary re- search The project's future beyond the grant is uncertain, but Simon re- mains optimistic. "We really do have some of the leading political and legal scholars in the countries that we're inter- ested in, and of course the people in their parliamentary libraries, those are the crucial people Simon said.

I must admit, I'm damn tired of hearing about it. The mes- sage is delivered so earnestly (and so often) that it's almost as annoying as Sally Struthers starving kids spot. I know the few occasions I've had to watch an episode of Ted Turner's insipid "Captain Planet" car- toon have made me want to go out and dump some crude oil on a wildlife preserve. Be that as it may, the anti-pollution message is true. We've really got to watch ourselves. The more we pol- lute the Earth, the closer we get to some kind of bi- zarre Road Warrior style apocalypse, a world where people fight over such precious resources as water and oil. One way everybody can participate in this effort to save the nlanet is to recycle. Recycling cuts down on both pollution and the waste of the Earth's resources. But hey, ECU has a great recycling record, right? Well, see, apparently that's only because of all the construction that is going on. The construction com- pany is recycling like a madman, dumping everything it can into the recycling bin. The students, however, are apparently just big slobs. We don't recycle nearly enough, despite the fact that we're all big-brain college folks who know all about that Road Warrior pollution process. We're supposed to know better. You'd think, with all the beer that gets consumed around here, we would be the kings of recycling. Bottles and cans are two of the biggest parts of the recycling business, and we the students of ECU are a recycling gold mine. I know, I know. When you're stumbling around on clean-up patrol the morning after, the fate of the Earth is the farthest thing from your mind. That's why you prepare to recycle before your head feels like it's go- ing to split open like an overripe melon. Get an extra trashcan for recycling. Put a basket- ball net over it. That wav, when you're crawling around on all fours trying to collect stray cans, you can just toss them in and make a game of it for your beer-addled brain. I won't even go into all the paper that gets wasted around here, but suffice it to say we could all have a better track record there, as well. So get off your recycling butts, ECU! unless you want to live in a Road Warrior world, you must change your lazy ways. And no offense, but 1 don't think many of us would look very good in those skimpy leather bondage suits those post-apocalypse people favor Letters to the Editor The East Carolinian Stephanie Lassiter, Editor-in-Chief Crtssy Parker, Advertising Director Celeste Wilson, Production Manager &S Tambra Zlon, News Editor Wendy Rountree, Assistant News Editor Mark Brett, Lifestyle Editor Brandon Waddell, Assistant Lifestyle Editor J.

The best way to screw up ideas In the 1960s America was faced with the biggest revolution it had faced in almost 100 years. There was a need of change. The purpose of that change was to right the path our na- tion had steered since the Civil War. It was a chance to, once and for all, protect the rights of all men and women. At the center of this move- ment was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Act was originally con- structed to protect minorities voting privileges from the corruption of lo- cal government. It outlawed discrimi- natory policies such as literacy test- ing. This type of reform is good and definitely well overdue (almost 200 years to be more exact). Unfortunately, in this day and era people have a bad habit of abandon- ing the spirit of the laws and replac- ing them with their versions of the letter of the laws. This is best seen in what has been done with the above mentioned Voting Rights Act of 1965. When exercised as it was in- tended, it was effective. Between 1964 and 1969 the number of blacks regis- tered to was in the South more than doubled. Up until 1963 less than 100 black officials had ever been elected in the South, by 1973 there were 191 in Mississippi alone. In 1982 Congress decided to re- interpret it and thus manipulate the letter of the law. Through this manipu- Chris Arllne Opinion Columnist t is bad because it takes large portions of many communities and places them into a single unit lation they were able to show that certain groups were in fact entitled to political set asides, areas that they were sure to win. Not only were they given areas, but it was stressed that it was the federal government's respon- sibility to ensure that quotas for these offices were met It was felt that the only way to prove that the minorities were effective in using their voting rights was to have it proven through electoral rights. The problem with this is that it forces the American people into the ignorant belief that people of the same race must all vote the same way. For- tunately, the Supreme Court has seen the light and shot down several of these districts. In 1993 the Supreme Court shot down the North Carolina voter, redistricting a plan that created a zone that was 160 miles long anc for the better part of its length it was no wider than the stretch of Interstate 85 which it followed. This ruling, according to Justice O'Connor, "Political Apartheid" was being created. The same was found in July when they ruled against a similar plan from Georgia. Justice Thomas, in agreemenl with the majority, stated that it was "an offensive and demeaning assump tion that voters of a particular race will, because of their race, have the same political preference If anything, this minority-major ity districting can only hurt the groups. In general, it is bad because it takes large portions of many com munities and places them into a single unit where they can no longer affect the other groups. It is fair to assume that the GOP would be well benefitted by this move because it takes large predominately democrat supporting sections of mi- norities out of four or five districts and places them in one. They lose the one district but are allowed to carry the others easily through the void created. The idea of doing away with mi- nority-majority will not mean that minorities will lose seats, it will mean that there will be access to more of them. To the Editor: Most of the stereotypes that Jus- tin Conrad suggested Greeks have to deal with are ones that they create themselves - through their words and actions. Not until some part of their system is challenged do we hear the positive qualities of their organiza- tions. I live in a dorm for three years and had numerous neighbors in so- rorities. Although not everything I heard was negative, most of it was. I would hear women complaining about upcoming charities and "stupid func tions But the most common subjects were drunkenness and sex resulting from their socials. I simply think that rather than attacking those who hold the negative attitudes because of these stereotypes, that it would be more effective to go to the source of the problem and have the members of the organizations promote the more positive aspects. April Parnell Junior English Gabbing about gossip To the Editor: This is a letter of official and public apology to Coach Van Sant, Mr. and Mrs. Leggett and all the people who work so hard to make the East Carolina Pirates football concessions program the great success that it is. First of all, I would like to apologize for all the silly things I wrote in my letter to the editor of The East Caro- linian in the issue of Thursday, Sept 7. We, the concessionaires now have the contract that is fair to all con- cerned, thanks to the efforts of Coach Van Sant who generously restructured our contract for this football season accordingly. We now are given 30 cents for the $2 selling price of every soda we sell at the football games. I am reminded of the great All- American football player, George Koonce who recently gave $10,000 to the Pirate Club. George, who has gone on the NFL as one of the great- est football players of all times, made this sacrifice to help the East Caro- lina Pirates athletics program, by so doing, George has given back some- thing to oui school that gave him such an excellent start in his football ca- reer. Think about what we as students could do to help the East Carolina pirates to be the very best in the Na- tion! Here's what you and I, and ev- eryone here at East Carolina Univer- sity can do at least four more Satur- day afternoons this fall. Get the East Carolina Pirate spirit of the East, come to the football game to cheer the Pirates football team on to the Peach Bowl again this year. Buy a soda of your choice from me, Rich- ard Becker, of any of the young people at he football game who work there as concessionaires, and a bag of peanuts. We sell large cups full of America's most popular sodas such as Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Mountain Dew along with large bags of deli- cious roasted peanuts for your en- joyment and, to help the East Caro- lina Pirates build a winning athletic program. So, here is your chance to do your part as a loyal and true East Carolina Pirate football fan. I am looking forward to seeing you at Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, Sept 30. Thank you very much for your support.

Well, in a way it is. Okay, this article is actually about talk shows and their topics. You might be thinking, "how could he write an entire article on talk shows Well let me put it to you this way, have you ever turned on the television in the morning and not seen two or three different shows all talking about sex? There are so many talk shows that I can not even list them all in this article. I would have to have a page devoted just to this article to show you how many there really are. Talk shows began with pio- neers such as Phil Donahue. And now we have the Danny Bonaduce show and that girl, Gabrielle, from "90210 I can not turn on the TV for one minute without finding some talk show that has a topic involving sex, sin or scandal. What ever happened to "Leave it to Beaver where the topic of each episode might be where Beav got caught bringing a frog to school? Talk shows are becoming det- rimental to our brains. Do 1 really want to know that Girl X's boy- friend slept with Girl Y and then Girl Z? NO! Entertainment can be found on other channels. Here is a Brian Burns Opinion Columnist Do I really want to know that Girl X's boyfriend slept with Girl Y and then Girl Z? prime example of how talk shows go too far: The "Geraldo" show. I'm not talking about his everyday shows (which are bad enough as it is), 1 mean the one specific episode where he helped provoke a fight This infamous episode in Geraldo's second season brought him international fame for having his nose broken. These are the kind of stunts that talk shows hosts do to get the ratings. I almost guarantee you that if these "hosts" tried getting real act- ing jobs, they would find them- selves out on the street Real ac- tors find themselves having to study and research a certain part. Then they have to rehearse a writ- ten script. These "hosts" come out with these whacked-out ideas and then bring on guests to grill them for juicy gossip. A prime example of this is when Geraldo brought on news writers for The National Enquirer. The sole purpose of this episode was to pass on gossip about the stars of today's movies and TV. Can't these people get lives or real jobs? I don't find it appealing to sit down and watch a breast im- plant on TV. If that interests you, then watch the "Gabrielle" show. Again, you might have a ques- tion like this: "How do you know so much about these talk shows if you hate them so much?" That's exactly what you were going to ask next wasn't it? Well, the answer is quite simple really, "Talk Soup Perhaps the only true show on day- time or any other time on television, "Talk Soup's" sole purpose is to preview and recap talk shows. Yet, they do not just show you the high- lights, they maKe fun of the shows as well. It is nice to see that someone else in this world besides myself sees that these shows go too far.

The concert is entitled "Weeks' Works: A Retrospective and features five pieces choreo graphed by Collectively Speaking's artistic director.

Done Geissler, Tara Martinelli and Sandra Tillett). The group will perform five dances in a variety of choreo- graphic approaches. "Bach Suite" is a lyrical movement piece sec- tioned into three solos and a trio. In "From Whence I Came the au- dience hears the inner dialogue of a woman who expresses her inse- curities related to living in a male- dominated world. "Crooked Sky is an abstract dance built around images of the rugged canyons of the southwest- ern U.S. and the ever-changing landscape. "Fields of Vision" is a statement on lookism: that is, judg- ing people (and often ourselves) solely on the way they look. The concert ends with a section from "Labyrinth which highlights the technical skills of the dancers in this highly energetic excerpt. Collectively Speaking has per- formed in informal concerts at ECU and across the state.

Comedy is hard. Fixing "Sat- urday Night Live?" That could be the hardest one of all. "It's time to reinvent the show NBC Entertainment Presi- dent Warren Littlefield said he told Lome Michaels, producer of "SNL after its beyond-dismal, critically clob- bered 1994-95 season ended last May. "That is exactly what he has done So which is it? "Reinvent" or "tweak"? Is "reinvent" too much to hope for? If so, will "tweak" suffice?

After iden- tifying "what we thought as a core was the best of 'Saturday Night Live " he said, "we tried to build from there One major result: a half-dozen new cast members, including David Koechner and Nancy Walls (from Chicago's Second City comedy troupe), Wiil Ferrell and Cheri Oteri (from the Los Angeles-based Groundlings), standup comedy-im- pressionist Darrell Hammond, and standup comic Jim Breuer. They will join just five return- ees in the "newer and fewer" en- semble: David Spade (who will have his own weekly department), Norm MacDonald, Mark McKinney, Tim Meadows and Molly Shan- non. Gone are other longtime players, includ- ing Al Franken, Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Adam Sandier, Chris Elliott and Michael McKean. There will be lots of new writers, new co-musical directors and a new director, Beth McCarthy (replacing veteran Dave Wilson). Much will stay the same: guest hosts and musical guests (for the season premiere, Mariel Hemingway and the artist formerly known as Prince), commercial parodies, and Weekend Update once again an- chored by MacDonald. This sense of tradition became "It's time to reinvent 'Saturday Night Live � Warren Littlefield, NBC Entertainment President clear at the news conference, which took place in Studio 8H on the show's brand-new set. This back-al- ley "home base" is handsome enough, but it sticks so closely to the downtown look the show has always had that viewers might not notice any difference. While "SNL" has much to prove during the 1995-96 season, it has even more to disprove: That it's worn out and irrelevant, an in- stitution past its prime and its time. That it stands for nothing other than its own accumulating years and shrinking stature. That Michaels, "SNL's" mastermind, has of late mostly pandered to a younger, dumber constituency for whom he has no affinity nor re- spect. That the show exists mostly to spin off movies and launch stars.

For them. the first few seasons retain a specialness that might be likened to the Beatles, whereas too much about the show ever since is Paul McCartney and Wings. To be in 8H and hear Michaels recall that on "the very, very first "Saturday Night' show in 1975, we did a sketch called 'Bee Hospital just over there and see him ges- ture toward a certain corner of the studio - well, that's got to give you a little charge, at least if you remem- ber seeing "Bee Hospital" that night of Oct. 11 in your living room a thousand miles away.

These moments, such as "View of the Rain" (about everyone's search for identity) and �Digital Black Epilogue" (about hope in times of trouble), tend to resonate more because of the laugh- ter that surrounds them. Back to the KISS connection, over half the songs on this album ("JaywalkinV -The Break 'Need Sorr Air "This Is No Place "Take Me "And You'll Say and "Tin Foil") sound like they came out of the Destroyer sessions, full of cheese and guitars. I guess this is a generational thing, but I'll be the first to admit that I loved KISS when I was a kid. We all knew that KISS wasn't the be all, end all of bands, but for a time they made life fun and excit- ing. Gene Simmons was like some comic book character come to life, with his forked tongue that dripped blood and his Dragon outfit. Well, exit the Dragon, and en- ter Urge Overkill. This album isn't a masterpiece, but it sounds great, it's fun. and there's substance under- neath the flashy surface. death of his one true love at the hands of the aliens. Shane Vansen, tough-as-nails female cadet, fights to exorcise the demons of her tortured past. Cooper Hawkes, ex-con and product of a military genetic en- hancement program, who hates nor- mal humans for their prejudice against his kind, called "Tanks Let's face it, these are all people we've seen before. There's also a cartoonish drill sergeant, the obliga- tory nervous guy. a reserved Tank officer who becomes our heroes' commanding officer and a bland fe- male character who says she "lacks direction" (no kidding!). There's even a guy with "Dead Meat" stamped on his forehead. Ca- det Pagodin 'or Pag) befriends the surly Hawkes, thus sealing his own fate. Hawkes, after all. needs to find a reason to fight, since his hatred for humans makes him less than eager to risk his life for them. Killed literally minutes after reaching out to Hawkes, Pag be- comes the rebellious young Tank's single motivation. But all these sci-fi and war movie cliches aren't even the biggest problem with "Space: Above and Be- yond No, that honor goes to the botched handling of the cool science fiction concepts that are the show's real underpinning. In one scene, the cadets unex- pectedly encounter and capture an alien. This is an encounter with a race they know nothing about, a real first contact situation. This could have been a really good creep-out scene, as our awe-struck heroes re- move the alien's space armor and uncover some hideous alien physi- ognomy. Unfortunately, all they do is stare at it, and eventually kill it. In the most ludicrous scene in the epi- sode, the young cadets show amaz- ing communication skills as they in- terpret the creature's every vague gesture with stunning accuracy. Then they stupidly try to pour water through some obvious breath- ing vents in the side of its head! When the alien convulses and dies minutes later, they assume it com- mitted suicide. Yep, that must be it. Couldn't have had anything to do with that foreign substance you shoved into its lungs! But the worst sin of all for "Space" is that its dogfight se- quences lack any choreography or sense of excitement. The computer- generated ships look nice, but the maneuvers they execute are yawningly boring. Even "Galactica" had better space battles than this! "Space" creators Morgan and Wong need to go back and watch Star Wars again, or at least some of the old World War II fighter plane movies they claim to be emulating in the first place. Maybe then we'd get the action this show promised. With poor scripting, bad acting, lame battle scenes and missed op- portunities for cool sci-fi thrills, "Space" fails at every turn. Let's hope this show gets an overhaul soon; it would be a shame to let such a good concept go to waste. On a scale of one to 10, "Space: Above and Beyond" rates a lame four. DO YOU NEED MONEY?!

Cheerleaders in general have been stereotyped again and again, but the word "dedication" sums up what cheerleading is all about If you were among the Pirate faithful who stuck- out the wet conditions during ECU's thumping of Central Michigan two weeks ago, you saw the cheerleaders pouring their hearts out to the end. "You have to like the game to cheer said varsity cheerleader and senior, Taemi Gilley. "We were in a pour-down in the rain, but we had a good time. We're a close squad The cheerleaders practice seven days a week. Sundays being optional, so when Saturday rolls around it's their time to have fun. ��When people actually look at us up front, I guess they don't real- ize how much work is put into this Gilley said. Beside prac- ticing every day, the cheerleaders have mandatory' weight-lifting twice a week, as well as a timed run once a week. Some of the cheerleaders also have jobs. This extracurricular stress combined with schoolwork makes for a difficult schedule. "You have to like the game to �� Many different aspects make up the sport of cheerleading. Gymnastics, flexibility, and dance are important for the girls while strength and technique are crucial to the guys.

With a four to six-mile- a-day workout in the pool, the women's team reigns as last year's champion of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and hopes for a repeat performance. The men's team has dramatically improved and is stroking ahead towards its goal of winning another (CAA) championship. Coach Rick Kobe is the man who is training the team to make all this possible. His hard regimen consists of two workouts a day. Ev- ery other day, the team swims a couple miles in the morning and a few more in the afternoon for a two Photo by J. Miles Layton These cheerleaders toss each other around in preparation for a winning Pirate season. Saturday at noon they will cheer the team to victory against West Virginia University. Volleyball team digs in for win Avram Klein Stmff Writer Tuesday night, the Lady Pi- rates turned Williams Arena from a volleyball court into a battle field. After five intense matches of play, the Pirates finally won a victory from the UNC Wilmington visitors. While the players waited for the first match to begin, they seem relaxed and were smiling. The team had a definite feeling of confidence in themselves as players and as a team that comes through in their attitude towards one another. With the completion of the Na- tional Anthem, Head Coach Kim Walker collected the Pirates for a quick pep-talk The coach took on an air of seriousness, a more tran- quil, focused, hawk-like character than the easy-going coach I've in- terviewed over the phone and be- fore practices. The first initial volley landed in favor of Wilmington, but the Pi- rates struck back and took control of the ball with the second serve. Each time the Pirates won a vol- ley, the team exploded in unison with a loud "Yeah Their yells served as an invigorating pat on the back as well as a means to intimi- date their opponent. The Pirates were fresh and powerful in the first match. As soon as the team began to show a lack of control on the ball, they recoiled and struck back across the net with fierce precision. The Pirates were personified by their spirit and cel- ebrated each score with high fives and they scream, "Out together when the Wilmington ball flew over its estimated mark. The Pirates took the first match with considerable ease, win- ning 15-5. The second match took off at full speed. The Pirates were forced to dive for attempted kills sent over by Wilmington, and they returned the favor, earning the first point. With a victory under their belt, Walker began to shed a few smiles and was not afraid to visibly show displeasure for inaccurate line calls. After an initial lead by the Pirates, Wilmington was able to bring it to 6-6. With a grueling struggle for power on the score board, Wilmington called a time-out with 10-11 on the board in order to bring in a new server. Possession of the volley changed hands four times without a point scored, until ECU was able to tie it up before taking an additional time out. Unfortu- nately, the match ended quickly with a loss for the Pirates at 11-15. By the third match, players on both teams were beginning to tire. ECU began to have trouble with their serve. The Pirates had a frus- trating struggle to catch up to Wilmington, who stood at ieast five points ahead for the majority of the playing time. After a streak of mis- takes, ECU began a fierce climb up the score board and took a time out with 9-11. As the score tottered at 13-12, coach Walker sat tentatively, as if she were a scientist watching and waiting over a delicate experiment. Then, with 13-14 on the board. Wilmington took a 'time out' and came back to win in the next vol- ley. The Pirates knew they had to win the next set to stay in the match and that's what they did. The score was evenly weighted through- out most of the match with ties on the board at 7-7 and 12-12 that took a long time to break: ECU eventu- ally won the match with 15-12. The fifth and game winning set was a rally-scoring match in which each play could mean a score for either team. The excitement of the match doubled as the playing be- came a mixture of frantic and pre- See DIG page 13 or three hours.

"You've got ����������� to have the talent, but you've got to work consistently to win Kobe said.

For junior Chris Padgett, soc- cer has been a way of life from a very early age. This 5-foot-9, 145 pound, midfielder from Swansboro, N.C has been playing the sport since the age of four, and has been playing for the ECU team for three years. This two-time letter winner and co-captain of the men's 1995 soccer team was last season's lead- ing scorer with six goals and three assists. Coaches will look to this creative and skilled player to be the leader on offense once again in '95. However, this season he has remained scoreless, but Padgett still remains optimistic. "I'd love to come back this year and score 10 goals he said. His scoring drought could be due in part to a tough schedule, that so far has included three na- tionally ranked teams: North Caro- lina, James Madison and Old Do- minion. "It's been a rough year so far said Padgett. "We've played qual- ity teams from traditionally good soccer schools. We'll have to take those losses as learning experi- ences Padgett is playing the same position as midfielder as he did last season, but believes his role is a little different from last year. He thinks the team seems to be taking on a different style than the '94 season. This could be due to the a new head coach, Will Wiberg. As a freshman, Padjett started in every game.

The truth is. you can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 3o years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: Set aside just $100 each month beginning at age So and you can accumulate over $172 ,109 by the time vou reach age o5. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $219 each month to reach the same goal. Even if you're not counting the years to retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF to help you build the future you deserve- with flexible retirement and tax-deterred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest- ment choices, and a record of personal service that spans y5 years. Over 1.7 million people in education and research put i IAA-CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning. Why not joi in th em Call today and learn how simple it is to build a secure tomorrow when you have time and TIAA-CREF working on your side. g Start planning your future.

Required CHEER from page 11 on the squad for four years and I'm just getting those things down There is another facet to cheerleading than leading the football team to victory, and that's competing with other cheerleaders. The Pirates are involved with the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA). and compete with cheerlead- ers from universities around the na- tion annualy. The first round of competetion submits a videotape of the team's performance. The teams are then ranked regionally, (the Pi- rates placed sixth in the southeast last year), and a certain number of quali- fiers make it to the finals. Last year the finals were held in Orlando. Florida. ECU placed 14th in the nation among such schools as Tennessee, Kentucky and South Caro- lina who offer full scholarships for their cheerleading teams. ECU pro- vides no financial support for it's cheerleading squad. "The best thing about iSV AH EXPLOSIVE IllAIIMS THB1LL If BE! -1� Mum�(aw - �mm ITSIEVEMrilLLSCir times twit - mmm MM.

Besides going to Orlando last year, the squad traveled with the foot- ball team to Auburn. Trips to Ten- nessee and Illinois highlight the sea- son for the cheerleaders in 1995. Pee Dee the Pirate is also a vi- tal part of the cheerleading team. Brian Barbour is one of four people who make Pee Dee come to life ev- ery week. "It takes a lot of dedication Barbour said. "It's really hot inside that suit, you can't see, and it's hard to breathe. But, it's worth it. Pee Dee represents the school and he is the number one fan for East Carolina Besides physical endurance, it takes a lot of creativity to be a mas- cot. You have to pump up the crowd when the team is winning, and en- tertain them when they're losing. Ac- cording to Barbour, Pee Dee is the personification of fun. "If it wasn't for Pee Dee, I wouldn't be in school said Barbour For all the hard work that Pee Dee and the cheerleaders put into what they do, all they ask for in re- turn is a little respect "I wish people would give us more respect, from the students to the administrative officesaid TJ. Sawyer. "I don't think we get what we deserve SWIM from page 11 better off than we were last year at this time Rachel Atkinson, a senior, has swam for four years and hopes to repeat last year's conference perfor- mance in her final year. T hope we win the conference again because it is my senior year she said. Atkinson does the Kobe regi- men because of the satisfaction she gets through winning. Sandra Ossmann, a sophomore, is in her second season with the team. "I think the best part is win- ning Ossmann said. "Last year we won the conference and I hope we do it again Being surrounded by a lot of seasoned talent does not intimidate Ossmann. "It makes me admire Rachel for sticking with it all these years she said. "I hope I can do that also The team has to get up three mornings a week and swim from 6- 8 a.m. to get in extra miles before the more rigorous afternoon work- out. "It's not my favorite thing to get up at 5:30 a.m. in the morning and jump into a cold pool Ossman said. Vitier is not a morning person. "The worse part is waking up when it is all cold outside and get- ting into freezing water instead of staying in a warm bed Vitier said. Moody says the worst part of swimming is the extra laps. "Probably the worst part is to try and convince yourself that you can go one more set when you don't have the energy to go any further, but you do anyway Moody said. The team's first meet is Oct. 3 where they will compete against each other in a pentathalon. Each swimmer will predict his or her own time in five events. In between each 100 meter set, the swimmer will get a 12 minute rest Before finishing, each athlete will have to do the but- terfly, freestyle, breast and back- stroke. Points will be awarded to those who come closest to their goals and beat them. The one clos- est to predicting his or her perfor- mance will win. The pentathlon starts at 3 p.m. at Minges pool. KJL 3 from page 11 cise. Time-outs changed from a re- laxing break away from intense playing, into a swarming hive with the energy of a NASCAR pit stop. ECU held Wilmington on the board at 13, climbing from 9 to 14 with three real points and took a time out. Wilmington then tied it up at 14-14, leaving the next volley to win it all. The crowd and side- lines moved to the edge of their seats as the last serve is made and Wilmington hits the ball out of bounds. The crowd exploded to their feet screaming for the victory.
