( m- mmr "? W? " TUE&? October 3,1995 Vol71,No. 12 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 12 pases ?3????S? ?. v.vv?? f ?v Around the State (AP) - A seven-year-old pro- gram to bring art to the public has been scrapped, leaving unfinished works statewide and generating almost as much debate as the con- troversial program itself. The battle is over whether publicly funded sculptures, paint- ings, carvings, etchings and other works will adom state government projects already underway. The projects that were on the drawing board before the program, which has cost $400,000 so far, were axed in this year's legislative session. (AP) - The new director of the University of North Carolina's Black Cultural Center sees hope for stalled plans to erect a free- standing building for the group. But he may be the only one. Administrators at the Univer- sity of North Carolina of Chapel Hill have received $1.8 million in donations for the free standing center - less than one-quarter of the $8 million slated to be raised. Around the Country (AP) - The Rockefellers want to keep a hand in Rockefeller Cen- ter after all. An investment group that in- cludes David Rockefeller and the investment firm Goldman, Sachs & Co. announced late Sunday in New York it was offering $297 million for control of the landmark office complex. The proposal comes just a month after the center's Japanese controlled owner - in which the Rockefeller family trusts have a stake - announced it would give up the property, which has been mired in bankruptcy since May. (AP) - Airports nationwide are stepping up precautions against terrorist attacks to the highest level since the Persian Gulf War. No specific threats were cited. Transportation Secretary Federico Pena issued the order Sunday - the same day a group of militant Muslims were found guilty in a New York terrorism trial. Around the World (AP) - So your boss, like Shakespeare's merchant Shylock, zealously demands his 0.45 kilo- grams of flesh? Beware: give him 2.54 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers. Alas, such phrases could be in Britain's future. After more than nine centuries of pounds, inches and gallons, the sceptered isle is obeying a European Union decree and going metric. (AP) - The magnitude-6 earthquake that destroyed almost half the structures in this Turk- ish city reduced Nedret Goceli's five-story apartment building to rubble. The death toll stood'at 43 Monday, but the rescuers who worked under heavy rain expected it to rise. More than 200 people were injured in the earthquake, which shook western Turkey at 5:57 p.m. Sunday. Pirate football makes history Field goal sends West Virginia home defeated Craig Perrott Senior Writer East Carolina denied West Virginia one last scoring opportunity in the wan- ing seconds of play to beat the Moun- taineers 23-20 Saturday afternoon within the friendly confines of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. It was the first time ECU has de- feated West Virginia in the nine-game history of the series, dating back to 1970. ECU believed the outcome of the game had been determined, as quarter- back Marcus Crandell kneeled the ball with 1:03 left in the game. On the next play from scrimmage, however, a West Virginia nose guard slapped the ball out of ECU center Kevin Wiggin's hands. Crandell fumbled the ball, and West Vir- ginia recovered with 44 seconds left to play. The Pirate defense rose to the oc- casion, and held off a WVU offense that moved the ball well in the second half. It was a scare for the Pirates, who only scored three second half points af- ter being up 20-9 at half-time. ECU al- lowed the Mountaineers back in the game, as WVU tied the score early in the fourth quarter. After sputtering most of the half, the Pirate offense knew it had to make things happen. "It seemed like the offense knew we had to go down there and score Crandell said. "We put everything behind us and just went down there and did it I credit their defense. "They just started playing great defense, and we weren't executing and making plays like we were at the begin- ning of the game. We were a little lacka- daisical out there on the field Place-kicker Chad Holcomb kicked the game-winning field goal to cap the final ECU scoring drive, after missing an extra point earlier in the game. "It was my only chance I've ever had to kick a game winner Holcomb said. "We had so many chances to kick a game- winner last year, but we'd go for it and never seemed to win it "It was just a good operation by my holder Eddie Crabtree and snapper Ja- son Shell for that final field goal. I'm glad we could get it through Head Coach Steve Logan opted to settle for three points, instead of his usual attack on the end zone. "It's important for our whole foot- ball team that the kid stepped up Logan said. "It's the first time that he's been under the pressure cooker, and I was really happy for him. Maybe now he can go to another level ECU took it to the Mountaineers early in the game, scoring on their first play from scrimmage. Crandell connected with wide receiver Larry Shannon for a 67 yard TD pass, after West Virginia drew firstblood with a 33-yard field goal.

Investiga- tions Officer Tony Dennison said that two of the three girls arrested were ECU students, "This has been an ongoing in- vestigation for quite some time Dennison said. "And it began be- cause we started getting complaints from the public that these establishments were no more than prostitution rings masquerading as escort ser- vices.1' Dennison said the girls un- dressed in front of undercover po- lice officers. "You can pay these girls and get sexual favors Dennison said. "They vtffi say it doesn't happen but it does According to Dennison, the es- cort service owners were not charged or given citations. "Before we can charge owners, we have to confer wflh the iistrict attorney Dennison said. "But it is very possible that some owners) will be charged The owners of Cherry's and Crystal's escort services declined "Still, I feel like we have already been accused, tried and convicted by the media ?- Representative of Diamond Escort Services comment, but a representative of Diamond Escorts said Diamond fol- lows all state guidelines. "We've been in business for five years she said requesting that her name not be used. "We do have our business license and we pay taxes. We have never advised our escorts to do anything illegal The escorts work on a one-on-one ba- sis no group activities She said charges range from $109 for a half-hour session to $150 for an hour. "How they spend their time is up to the es- cort and her date. Clients are paying for time and nothing else she said. The Dia- mond represen- tative said the service has had male escorts in the past, but they are not re- quested much in this area. Dia- mond does offer male dancers. "Yes, you can make $L0G0 in one week she said, "And most of the escorts do make that much. It depends on how much you are wilt- ing to work" No charges were brought against Diamond escorts. "Stfll, I feel like we have al- ready been accused, tried and con- victed by the media she said re- ferring to an article in The Daily Reflector. "They didn't have to go so far as to print the girls' names. They (the girls) have already been humiliated enough Dennison said the investiga- tion will continue and will include other escort agencies. He expects more arrests to be made in the near future.

Celebrity cook-off fills students Popular event may return next spring Joartn Reed Staff Writer The smell of good food and sounds of merriment filled the air as ECU faculty members and celeb- rities from the Greenville commu- nity served dinner to students at the Celebrity Chef Cook-out last Thursday. The festivities, which took place at Mendenhall and Todd din- ing locations, were sponsored by Aramark campus food services a; proved to be a big hit with the stu- dents and their celebrity chef serv- ers. Students swiped cards and paid the usual price during evening meal hours on Thursday. But in- stead of choosing from the usual fair, student diners had a choice of steak, chicken, corn-on-the-cob, baked potatoes and several other savory items served by their favor- ite faculty members. "We've had a lot of participa- tion from ECU faculty and the Greenville community said David Bailey, district marketing director for Aramark. "Mayor Jenkins came out to help and Philip Williams from WITN news is out here helping and plans to broadcast live during the evening weather report According to Chris Warren, campus marketing director of Aramark, whole departments partici- pated just for the fun of it.

"We usually only do this type of thing during the fall semester when the weather is nice and cooler Bailey said, "but this has gone so well, we might plan one for later in the spring semester Television host urges group action Marguerite Benjamin Senior Writer The Ledonia Wright African- American Cultural Center recently began its 1995 Fall Program Sched- ule with a visit from a Black Enter- tainment Television (BET) talk show personality. Last Wednesday night in Mendenhall Student Center, nation- ally awarded radio and television per- sonality Bev Smith, who hosts "Our Voices" on BET, addressed tu e topic "Restoring America's Self-Esteem "I am very pleased and chal- lenged by the topic set before me Smith said before an audience of about 50 students and guests. "I think this is a topic that has been neglected for too long Smith went on to say that America (particularly Black America) is suffering from the worst case of low self-esteem since the Great De- pression. "As a whole. America is de- pressed, oppressed, overwhelmed by pressure, in debt, overworked, stressed out Smith said. Her list went on. One of the statistics Smith pre- sented was that America's reported cases of child abuse and domestic vio- lence are higher than those of any other country. "We are caught in a period of distrust and disrespect Smith said. "We distrust government officials and religious leaders at every level, but most of all we are disrespecting each other on every level Smith said that one of the main reasons for the lack of self-esteem in America is that, in general, we (all races) do not feel good about being American. "And for a fact, whether the skin is light or dark, we do not feel good about being African-American Beth said.

Holly Hagey Staff Writer As a sign of the times, gradu- ate courses are now being offered via interactive video through a project currently being integrated by the Department of Industrial Technology. "The Factory as a Learning Lab" is the master's degree pro- gram which is being integrated on location in military bases and in manufacturing companies around the country. In July of 1994, a $1.2 million grant was funded by the National Defense Conversion Act. This was one of the first projects to receive funds from a division of the Tech- nology Reinvestment Act. Over 2.850 proposals were written by universities, federal research labo- ratories and state and local govern- ments to obtain funding. "ECU is very lucky to have been accepted for this program, we're very excited about that said Dr. Barry DuVall. director of the project. In a Black and Decker plant in Easton, Md graduate courses are being ottered through interactive video. "They operate in a virtual class- room environment DuVall said. ? There is no real on-campus activ- ity Through electronic data inter- change (EDI) information can be sent through e-mail and students can transfer files back to the in- structor. This makes instruction possible with no physical classroom contact. There are currently four gradu- ate courses available: Hands on the Internet. Project Management, Safety Law and Technical Presen- tations in Industry. Three of these courses meet in a virtual classroom environment.

Norwood-Lee An ECU student's hard efforts were recently rewarded with the Governor's Award for Outstanding Services Rendered to Home Health and Hospice in Wayne Count) N.C. Robyn H. Norwood-Lee is a full- time student at ECU, works, keeps her family together and volunteers her spare time. Raised in north Chicago, 111. Norwood-Lee left her family and friends in 1991 to make North Caro- lina her home. "I was just stepping out on a leap of faith, I was just taking a chance (in relocating) Norwood-Lee said. "I was born and raised in Illinois and had worked at Abbot Laboratories for nine years. The youngest of seven, I left all of my family Adjusting to a southern lifestyle appeared to be easy for the social work major. After attending South Illinois University in Edwardsville, III Norwood-Lee said she felt a need to return to school once she moved to North Carolina. "The money I was making in Illi- nois was great and I never would have gone back to school if I had stayed Norwood-Lee said. "I need that piece of paper Norwood-Lee said she could not find a job when she first moved to Goldsboro, but volunteering her time opened opportunities. "I volunteered for one day in Wayne Memorial Hospital Norwood- Lee said. "After two days, I had a part- time job in the lab as a phlebotomist Norwood-Lee's husband, Tony Lee, is also an ECU student Currently she works in ECU's fi- nance department with a work-study program. If working, learning and rais- ing a 13-year-old son from a previous marriage were not enough, Norwood- Lee continues to volunteer her time which eventually led to her nomina- tion for the Governor's Award. "My dad died of cancer in March of '93 she said. "I wanted to give something back Norwood-Lee has been volunteer- ing for hospices in eastern North Caro- lina for almost three years now and remembers one patient who touched her life. "I took care of one patient for more than a year, she was 20 years old and she had terminal cancer Norwood-Lee said. "I was averaging four or five hours a week with this patient" Norwood-Lee remembered run- ning errands, making videos and even taking time off from work to spend time with the girl. "I went around the neighborhood and video-taped Christmas lights so she could see them she said. "I was able to remain focused and be there for her Norwood-Lee's dedication to this patient and continued support follow- ing the patient's death in April lead to her nomination. Because both of her parents had died since Norwood- Lee moved to North Carolina, she was able to help the family with picking out a casket, writing her obituary, speaking at her funeral and even fixed the girl's hair and make-up for the funeral. "I received the Wayne County Volunteer of the Year Award for Home Health and Hospice in April she said. "I received (the Governor's Award) at the Chamber of Commerce on Sept 14 Norwood-Lee received a plaque of recognition for the award and will travel to Fayetteville in November to compete for the state award. "It's a definite honor, being from Illinois, I wasn't even failiar with the Governor's Award when I came here she said. "I'm glad I was chosen, but I don't feel I did anything out of the ordinary She said she believes her actions are a result of the way she would want to be treated and said she is able to do all things through God.

"I know how all of you have seen how the focus is on that one of ev- ery four black men who goes to jail Smith said. "Do you hear or read about the black family that is to- gether, with both parents, raising successful children who go on to col- lege to become doctors and lawyers? No. "The family you see is the one where the children sell drugs, the fa- ther beats the mother who is on wel- fare, and other such tragedies. What we need to realize as Africans in America is that wherever you are, whatever you do, you are a represen- tative of our people all over the coun- try. Look where O.J. Simpson is representing what the media thinks of black men in America Several times in her discussion, Smith repeated that the black family is in trouble. She said the condition of the black family now stands in the worst condition it has ever seen. "There once was a time when we as black people could look at TV and see people acting crazy and killing each other and say 'that's not us But can we honestly say that now?" Smith asked in a low, melancholy voice. "People, what has happened to our code of ethics? "The black family is in trouble she repeated. "The only way we will be able to rise out of this den of op- pression we have allowed ourselves to sink into is to re-establish the fam- ily, which is the very core of who we are. We need to reclaim our children - now while we still have the power to do so Smith used an old Ghanaian proverb, "a man that does not tend his soil will have no crop to stress that our children are our crops, our hope for tomorrow. She said the first steps to restoring pride in all Ameri- cans is to concentrate on the chil- dren in our homes. "Buy them books, and turn the TV off. Read with your children. Fill their heads with knowledge. Pray to- gether so that you can move your own mountains, and teach them that God is at the center of our existence. Most of all, begin to concentrate on the positive Smith said. Smith's lecture was the first of the series of events planned for the new Cultural Center which is located in the renovated Bloxton House near the center of campus. The Center will be having an open house on Oct 20 to which students are invited to view the new facilities. For more informa- tion on the center or its programs, call the center at 328-1680.

Our View The Pirate football team has no problem getting students to stand in line to pick up tickets, yet we can't get these same students to come out and vote. What are we saying about our elected student government? Class officers were elected last week by less than two percent of the eligible voters - you the students. Three class presidents ran unopposed as did a majority of the legislature. Is this representa- tive democracy? Representative democracy is about electing people to office who will best serve their constituents. Campaigns promise a new exchange of ideas. The best and brightest compete for those jobs in an effort to serve. On election day, people choose who they think will best benefit the university. But does a two percent vote actually represent the student body? This is in a perfect world. In our skewed microcosm of the universe no such democracy exists and it is our fault as students. The system works like this. Candidates run virtually unopposed for office. If students are even aware there is a student government, they don't know who their representative is. Because there is no competition, a neo- Nazi, a Ted Kennedy liberal, a Jesse Helms conservative or some- one who has a name like Newt may represent a residence hall with his interests counter to his constituents. Instead of having competition to bring out a fair exchange of ideas, no new blood gets in. Candidates for office promise the same platforms year after year. We've all heard the same stale promises about representing the student voice, better communica- tion with the administration, better parking and lowering fees. As such we elect a complacent and unoriginal legislature devoid of any new ideas. Since the legislature is not directly responsible to their con- stituents, they are not challenged to do much of anything except put another line on their resume. The sad part is that we are all to blame. No one wants to get involved, let alone vote. It is easy to point a finger at people at least trying to serve and complaining about the bad job they are doing. This is especially hypocritical if anyone complaining did not vote. After huge scandals like the Elbo incident last summer, it is hard to imagine how we put these people in office. When candi- dates run unopposed for office we are to blame. We are to blame because no one stepped forward to challenge an apathetic system. Less than two percent stepped forward last week to vote. We have no room to complain when fees increase, when fresh- men living on campus are required to have meal plans or when parking spaces dissappear. Apathy and cynicism are dangerous because they are breeding a society out of sync with its govern- ment. ECU did not always have a student government. If people don't get actively involved, then the one we have will become weaker and weaker. The students that make this school tick may soon have no way to voice their concerns to the administration. With- out that voice, any program despite student objection, can be put in place. Our student government has a lot of power. Not only is it the formal representative to the administration, but it can be a power- ful instrument of change. By becoming involved and at least vot- ing, we can become part of the solution to make this university a better place. I'd rather gnaw off my own foot I read somewhere that speaking in public is something like America's number one fear. Well, I won't speak for my country, but I know for a fact that it's my number one fear. If I was Superman, speaking in front of a group of people would be my only kryptonite. Just the thought of it makes my stomach roll over, my knees get a little weak and my blood pressuie pick up a bit God how 1 hate to speak in front of classes giving presentations. I'd do anything but that, anything, yet each semester I get cursed with a class that requires at least one presentation, and many times all of my classes require them. I even survived a Speech class my freshman year, but 1 aged about 10 years that semester. You see, I'm a writer, and writing is quite easy to bullshit, but speaking in front of people, well, that's just something that, unless you're a born politician, is just pretty hard to fake. I thought about teaching, thought a little about Law, but both of those require lots of speaking in front of groups. No thanks. Even in front of a class of 30 little seven-year- olds, I'd stand there feeling those beady little eyes bearing down on me, practically hear them all thinking, "He doesn't have the slightest damn idea what he's talking about At any rate, I often feel it's just me that has this fear, but I'm pretty sure a lot if not most of you out there do as well. How about yourself? If so, I can't offer any real pertinent advice, only a quiet show of support by tell- ing you that you are not alone. How- ever, just thinking about that little tid- bit may be a little help. We'll get to that though, stay with me. So you get the big assignment, some horrible speech or presentation about a subject of which you must Patrick Hinson Opinion Columnist . ?,r- - The physical effects set in: the sleeplessness, cold sweats, your veins becomes the tody 500. display your acquired expertise. Bum- mer. But you have no choice, you must stick it out. The speech will undoubt- edly be near or at the end of the se- mester, so you will have that lovely little guillotine hanging over your head for the entire four months. If you're like me, then about two weeks before it's due you'll start feel- ing it Your conscience calls you up and reminds you, "Hey, hey buddy, that speech is coming up on the 15th, ya' know Damn conscience! Then, the physical effects start to set in: the sleeplessness, cold sweats, your veins become the Indy 500.

Beware of the Fall Frustration Man This week I had six tests, three papers, four projects and an eight o'clock class every day. Five of the six tests required a blue bubble sheet I am now having dreams about filling in little tiny circles with my number two pencil. Three of the five days in which I had an eight o'clock class, I also had a three hour night class. I think I accidentally registered for 57 hours. Fall has actually arrived and it's not just the fall that appears on the catalog. It seems almost criminal that the construction isn't finished yet. This is the perfect time for the uni- versity to start taking pictures of flow- ers and students standing around seemingly talking about college stuff for brochures and posters. Ironically, fall is the best time to do any thing but study, however, dur- ing this slice of the semester, mid- terms and papers seem to lurk around every corner. For this reason we must practice patience. We must not always complain about being in school when we could be outside. Beware the little man in your head that beacons you to ask your hopefully accepting English teacher "Can we go outside for class?" This little man can bring you down. He sneaks up on you when you least ex- pect it and he clouds your mind. This is the fall-frustration man. Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist This little mart can bring you down. He sneaks up on you when you least expect it and clouds your mind. He loves good weather, anything but studying and convincing his host to displace anger on innocent bystand- ers. Often he clouds the mind because he makes us forget where we are. College is a privilege. I don't want to get angry here. This is not a rip-on- the-attitude-of-students article, but it is a remind-students-that-they-have opportunities-that-many-people-never- have article. And it is a help-them-to- see-the-good-in-their-stress article as well. Do they sound similar? There is also a chance that stress levels will plummet upon the under- standing of this principle. Every day we sit on nice benches with nice clothes and nice scenery and complain about how hard life is. Meanwhile, the little man in our heads chalks up an- other victory for plain and simple human stupidity. Why do we allow this part of our brain to affect us so much? Why does this one little part blind us from the reality that the rest of the world can see? It happens because we have no choice. No matter what we do there is always that little part of us that will want to complain. That little part of us that cannot care about reality be- cause its only purpose is the bring us down. It is now time to state the answer. Can you hear the drum roll? vVe must be thankful for our stresses because the only way that we can ever change is by the application of tranquillity found in the aftermath of struggle. The English version of that sentence will be published next week. Really, I simply mean to say, that when we feel good after getting through a hard time in our lives, and we say to ourselves, "That wasn't so bad after all. What was I worried about?" We are using those struggles for our own good. There is a reason for our frustra- tion, however invisible it may seem, but it is not for us to understand. We must accept it use it and be grateful that we can be here on this pretty college campus for four to set years of our lives- Lee Greenwood CD not included. The truth is out wherei Everyone who also has to speak prob- ably looks like they're having a quiet little private conversation with death. You're not alone (although, true, a hell of a lot of good that informa- tion does you). Admit that you are scared, then try to devise some way around it Despite all the literature on getting around this type of thing, I recommend that you develop your own personalized approach. However, one thing that 1 think everyone would agree upon is this: know what you are going to talk about. If you don't know what you're going to talk about, or how you're going to talk about it I recommend the Sarajevan decoy job (bring your running shoes). Plan your routine, however you wish to plan it. Write an outline, or notecards, or whatever is going to work best for you. As bad as I still am (and after all these years, obviously, this is as good as I'm gonna' get) the only thing that works for me is to have some notecards and to read them quietly to myself about 10 times and then read them aloud about 10 times (getting someone to listen to you would also really help). Just try to make sure the presen- tation flows right and sounds okay coming from the old faltering voice. Three things then: admit that your fear is a natural reaction, know your material as well as possible (this is really not something to do at the last minute), and practice what you want to say. That's the best I can offer. And for those of you who are even more phobic than myself, well, it might be a good idea to bring an extra set of notecards, for when you get up there in front of the entire room and blow your lunch all over the first onas. At least it might get you out of the speech. 1 paid for my last article very re- cently when I was huddled over cof- fee at a table with some friends at the Beanbag a few days ago. While I was trying to keep my head from break- ing free of my neck and wafting bal- loon-like off down the street, every- one else was still riding high from the series premiere of "The X-Files It's astounding, the following that the show has picked up, especially in the college circles, rivalling the devo- tion shown towards Letterman. Thanks to the appeal of David Duchovny, movies like Kalifornia, The Rapture and The Red Shoe Diaries are enjoying more attention these davs. You have to respect, though, a show that came off the ropes to snatch the Golden Globe away from the like of "ER "So is Mulder just being overly paranoid?" an enthusiast off to my right asked anyone who might be pay- ing attention. The word "paranoid" was still hanging in the air as everyone at the table turned to look at me. I really hate that. "Well, Conspiracy Man?" he asked, not totally sarcastically. "What do you think? Is he being a little too suspicious, paranoid, even?" I shrugged. I couldn't believe I was getting drawn into this conversa- tion. "It's a TV show he could only be one noid, for all I know He blinked, swept my attempt at diversion through humor aside, and plunged on ahead. "But you have to agree that more people are in the know about things than they let on. Why isn't all information made pub- lic?" "Wait a minute someone to my left countered. "The government's al- ready made public Project Blue Book. Brian Wright Opinion Columnist Religion, like any other solid belief system, resists both change and outside possibilities. You can get a copy of that, no prob- lem Project Blue Book, Mr. Right snorted loudly, ignoring the napkin I attempted to hand him. "That's the most contrived, dismissive He dis- solved into a fit of angry fist-clench- ing. "So when will everything be made public?" Ms. Left asked me. I told her that even if a flying saucer were to crash through the roof of the coffeehouse and plop right into her lap, there would still be critics who scoffed at her story. I gestured to Mr. Right to pick up the thread of talk, but he was too busy scoffing himself. I sighed. The proof of the exist- ence of an otherworldly presence would undermine every facet of our society, 1 explained. Religion, philoso- phy, the military, etc would all lake a huge hit if it were to happen, not to mention that general loss of confi- dence in the American government. The number of prophets who take to the streets waving placards that tell us that the end is near would definitely multiply. Part of what makes religion such a security and comfort in people's lives is both its omniscience and long-stand- ing solidity. Going by the Christian faith, for example, creation can be explained very simply, with no loose ends: God created the universe and everything in it period. Any posers that crop up, which are usually asked in the face of tragedy andor outra- geous misfortune, can be abruptly settled by the "mysterious ways"explanation. The scientifically ostracised Chariots of the Gods claimed that the main reason people, particularly reli- gious people, are so quick to debunk the notion of extraterrestrial life is becuase such a notion falls well out- side their realm of understanding and belief. After all, the Bible doesn't s anything about God creating little green men too, so therefore, it was really a downed weather balloon that the Air Force recovered from Roswell in 47, the 3,000 townspeople of Exter chose the same week to hallucinate in '60 and Whitley Streiber has been a jabbering, overimaginative loon for the last 20 years. Religion, like any other solid be- lief system, resists both change and outside possibilities. This is not an inherently wrong way to operate, be- cause the institutions that do not ben- efit from the assimilation of "outside" factors breaks down and falls into chaos. If an otherworldy entity landed on the front lawn of the Vatican to- morrow afternoon, most of the popu- lar earth religions (and maybe a few extraterrestrial ones too) would likely explode into atoms. At best the Bible would be regarded in a whole new light and the Pope might have to re- think his career options. WM Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Tonight after dark, we almost witnessed a tragedy involving a cyclist and a van. This occurred at a small grocery store near the university. The van was turning west into traffic: the cyclist was on the wrong side of the street without a bicycle light. 1 seri- ouslv doubt whether the ?an driver ever saw the bicycle, however, the bi- cycle rider angerly sic .veiled at the van because he had been "cut off" as he narrowly missed running into the vehicle. Fortunately the cyclist ap- peared unhurt as he rode off. Maybe cycle riders should be re- quired to pass a test or have a license before hf?jng avowed on the street Motorists also have to accept heir share of responsibility to avoid a mis- hap. With increased traffic, especially in the university area, both the mo- torist and cyclist will have to follow the rules of the road in order to avoid another fatality in our city.

Wil- .iliam Trowbridge. an award-winning uin poet who has published two books of nc poetry and teaches creative writing or: at Northwest Missouri State Univer- se sity, is making an appearaice at ECU. ? Trowbridge will be the first visit- ?u ing poet sponsored by the ECU Po- ?3u etry Forum this season, and he will mi conduct a poetry workshop as well as give a reading of his own poetry to- y day. The workshop will be on a "first ;?come, first serve" basis, and it will be Jtheid in the Ceneral Classroom Build- ing Room 1016 from 2-3 p.m. Anyone vjijinterested in this workshop should si bring around 10 copies of any poems .nrthey wish to share and discuss. The workshop is free and open to listen- isders as well. tn; Immediately following the work- lushop at 4 p.m Trowbridge will read from his own works of poetry, includ- ing his latest book Oh, Paradise, in the General Classroom Building, room 1031. According to Forum Director Dr. Peter Makuk. Trowbridge's poetry exhibits not only a serious side but also a rare comic talent. One such example of this come- dic poetry uses America's favorite monkey Ring Kong as a subject While Makuk notes that these poems are indeed "hilarious they are also "full of social commentary" where the reader gets King Kong's perspective on late 20th Century human society. But Trowbridge's humorous side extends well beyond King Kong. His poems look at the everyday culture around us and criticizes what we oth- erwise take for granted. Using com- mon, everyday objects and phrases, "he manages to universalize in a way that we can all identify with says Dr. Makuk. This is the true power of any poet: to see the beauty and signifi- cance in the mundane. Trowbridge's poems are universal, yet personal. The ECU Poetry Forum plans to make events such as this an ongoing thing. Two other poets, including Betty Aycock, are schedi led to bring their art to our fair campus. The Fo- rum usually meets on the first and third Thursday of each month throughout the academic year in Mendenhall Student Center in Room 248. This semester's schedule is as follows: Oct 5 & 19 and Nov. 2 & 16. If you're tired of complaining about the lack of culture existing within Greenville, then stop complain- ing and start acting. Show your sup- port to such worthy organizations as the ECU Poetry Forum and inspire our local talent to keep doing what they do best.

A laugh in Winterville Transvestite humor fizzles in Wong Foo Ike Shibley Senior Writer I suppose I should be pleased that J& film about drag queens could play in theaters all across America and do well ?it the box office, especially considering some of the negative reaction that the ovrecent gay pride festi- ?biival generated in I'fi'Greenville. But in To t Wong Foo, Thanks Tffor Everything, Julie br.Newmar, being a idrag queen is only a uameans of generating -l i laughs: it's not a so- yncial stance on the ?"part of the filmmak- ers. b. Wong Foo tells mmmmmmmmmm s.J. the tale of three drag iqueens who decide to drive from New inYork to Hollywood. Vida Boheme ei (Patrick Swayze) shares the title of a drag -liiqueen beauty contest with her friend 0" Noxema (Wesley Snipes). The two co-win- ners are awarded a trip to Hollywood to $5 compete in a much larger competition. Vida feels sympathy for Chi Chi (John Leguizamo), who she finds crying in a stairwell after having lost at the same pageant Vida and Noxema decide to seli latheir plane tickets and buy a car so that a all three of them can make the trip to "California. " The contrivances of the plot begin to wear thin very early in this film, as evidenced by the weak handling of the inclusion of Chi Chi. Vida claims that she wants to help Chi Chi become a real lady but Vida is so poor, or so one would sus- pect from what limited background we gather about her, that she cannot afford to get a car without first selling the plane tickets. And when Vida and Noxema sell the ??in - tickets to a fence (a cameo by Robin Williams, who has ap- peared in his own equally bland drag film, Mrs. Doubtfire) they never once consider renting a car. The story conveniently overlooks this option because the point of the film is to get the three ladies stuck in middle America so they can work their charm on the townsfolk. The jerrybuilt plot then has Vida throw away their map, in a painfully ba- nal scene in which she drives by her par- ents' house, so that the three friends are destined to get lost Why they decide to drive on two highways which would go through small towns with inhabitants who promise to make trouble for three transvestjtes. instead of interstates where a traveler can remain well nigh anony- mous, never gets explained. See FOO page 6 The drag queens win over the hearts of the town with one uninspired act after another.

Fun awaits at the Pitt Co Fair Sarah Wahlert Staff Writer If you're looking for some down- home country fun this week, then join Greenville in celebrating the arrival of the Pitt County Fair. Technically called The Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair, it won the award for the top county fair in North Carolina for 1994. Now in its 76th year, exhibits will be even better and the contests for Pitt County school children will be in- creased. In the livestock buildings, various exhibits will include swine, chickens, rabbits, sheep, goats, cattle and horses. There will be a hog show, lamb show (including shearing), flock show, heifer show and of course there's the Children's Petting Zoo. Amusements of America will bring lots of thrilling rides and shows to Greenville. The shows given by the Atlantic Unit will include Jamie Garcia and his death-defying Thrill Circus, complete with the Globe of Death and trapeze. Also, at 6 p.m. every night this week Garcia himself will walk the rim of the Giant Gondola W'heel. For the first time at the Pitt County Fair, Yaro and Barbara Hoffmann will present the "Exotic. Endangered Cats of the World a big cage act featuring four spotted and black leopards, two black panthers and two Siberian tigers. Next to this show will be Allen Wilson's Sea Lion Show, which is the first of its kind in North Carolina. On Friday and Saturday night in the Grandstand, the Hollywood Stunt Auto Thrill Show will feature the Gi- ant Monster Car Crusher. The antique German Fairground Organ, built in 1895. will greet fairgoers at the gate with its music while clowns and various other char- Bucket 4 Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great screaming bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor acters will be roaming around for the kids. The Fair's Village of Yesteryear will be open from 4-10 p.m. each day displaying antique farm nostalgia and demonstrations of farm life from 1840- 1940, along with the big sawmill steam engine. Gate admissions are $4 for adults and $2 for children. All Pitt County school children twelve and under will receive free passes. Senior citizens day is Wednesday, handicapped day is Thursday and preschoolers day is Fri- day. Pas king this year is free as well. Fair Manager Elvy Forrest says, "This is a regional fair for all of East- ern North Carolina. We invite fami- lies from the entire region and we hope that everyone leaves thinking that this is truly the best County Fair in North Carolina. Our attendance goal for this year is 100.000 people Help Forrest achieve this goal by joining in on the farm festivities! CD. Reviews Ronda Cranford Staff Writer Joe Ely Letter to Laredo It's been a few years since Joe Ely has released anything, and with Letter to Laredo he might finally get some recognition outside of his obscure cult following. Ely falls in the gray area be- tween country music and rock and roll, so his listeners have to be open minded. His music has a strong country flavor that is aggressive and rocking as well. Letter to Laredo is his most slickly produced work to date, but it's also more mellow and countryfied than any- thing he's done since "Down on the Drag" in 79. For Letter, Ely has replaced the rockabilly energy of his recent works with the sophisti- cation of Flamenco guitar. Letter is a successful departure for him. The thing that Ely does better than anything else with his music is tell a story. Maybe he was Homer in a former life. In "Gallo Del Cielo" and "Saint Valentine Ely paints us portraits of tragic characters; he is truly the master of telling the sto- ries of losers. "Saint Valentine drove a red Continental With a headlight out and a dent in the side He swore it wasn't his it was only a rental But he drove it every single night He's also pretty good at sing- inn "I'm-poor-but-I-can-love-you-bet- ter-than-a-rich-man" ballads. "Ranches and Rivers" and "All Just To Get To You" are examples of this. Ely sings a charming love song. "She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me" is a follow up to "She Never Spoke Span- ish to Me" from his 1977 self-titled See ELY page 7 Eric Bartels Senior Writer Shatterproof Slip It Under the Door With legendary alternative rock bands like the Replacements, Husker Du and the Gear Daddies heading the Minneapolis music scene, it is a won- der that this midwestern city can still flourish and put out great alternative music. Shatterproof, a quartet, has glided over and into the mellow alter- native rock genre and will never reach as tar as their forefathers. The Mats, as the Replacements were affection- ately known, covered the extreme ranges of music from love songs to kick yourself in the teeth punk rock. However. Shatterproof will never get too extreme in covering a broad range of music. They are like Teenage See SHATTER page 7 'When I'm lyin' in my bed at night . 1 don't wanna grow up Nothin' ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up Those words were originally penned and recorded by Mr. Tom Waits the poet laureate of my own personal apocalypse. More recently they were recorded by the Ramones, the court jesters of my apocalypse. But that's not what I want to talk about at all. What I want to talk about is the way those words crystallize a lot of my thoughts on the media bugaboo surrounding Generation X. Now, before you groan and toss the paper away in disgust, let me assure you that I'm just as sick of that slacker crap as anybody else. But, much as we might hate it, we're stuck with the label just like the '60s generation got stuck with being hippies. I mean, for every hippie there had to be at least 10 accountants and probably close to 50 Marines. But when someone mentions the '60s, we think of tie-dyed shirts and guys with Jesus haircuts handing out flowers to anybody who'd take one. And we've got more slackers than they had hippies, so we might as well stop whining. What we should be doing is trying to clarify things. If we're going to go down in history as slackers, I damn sure want people to understand why. After a long pe- riod of absorbing popular opinion, rethinking my own Gen X theories and living the slacker lifestyle, I think I've figured out how we're missing the boat here. The single overwhelming trait that I see among the slackers is an utter refusal to give up childhood. Beyond all the obvious stuff (the cynicism, the paranoia, the general lack of decent jobs, etc.), we're ul- timately just trying to hold on to our childhoods, a generation of des perate Peter Pans. Why else would so many people be making such constant ref- erences to old movies and TV shows? Why can't we go an entire evening without someone shouting "I had that when we mention some toy we played with when we were five? Like it's surprising that two people of the same age in the same room from the same part of the country could have both owned a toy that was mass-produced by the millions. But the biggest example of childhood-clutching I can think of is the Cult of Star Wars. I'm not sure how many of you non-slacker folks out there are quite aware of how much influence George Lucas' sci-fi film trilogy has had on America's future leaders, but let me assure you. those flicks changed our lives. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Mark Altman, editor of Film Threat (the magazine of choice for most Gen X movie buffs), has been quoted as saying that "Star Wars is our generation's Vietnam He may have been joking when he said it. but the more I think about it the more accurate it seems. For the Baby Boom genera- tion, Vietnam was a demarcation point. The horrors of war were dis- played on television screens across the country, and people didn't like what they saw. America was already in the process of losing its inno- cence, and Vietnam only hastened that loss along. Fast forward to 1977. The '70s. despite the belief of current retro hype, was a fairly bleak period. Ev- erybody was pretty much self-inter- ested (it was the "Me" decade, af- ter all), sex, drugs and disco were the national obsessions, and the birth control pill had made children kind of quaint and obsolete. All our heroes were anti-heroes, with Clint Eastwood leading the pack. The 60s had taken their toll, and whether we knew it or not, it w?s a pretty crappy time to be a kid.

Answers in Thursday's issue Then along came Star Wars. Sud- denly, we had exciting space battles, a classic good vs. evil struggle and heroes who were really heroic. It was like somebody had set off a bomb in our heads. In a bland, boring and tacky adult decade, we finally had something we could call our own. Star Wars was based in mythic structures, the kind of classic tales humanity has told for centuries. Our fantasy-starved brains ate it up like ice cream. We embraced the open (some would say naive) idealism with all our hearts, and it shaped the way we looked at the universe. In the secular world of the 70s, Star Wars was the closest thing many of us had to a genuine religious experience. Scary thought, isn't it? An en- tire generation of idealists who fol- low the teachings of Yoda. But here we are. Show me a slacker and I'll show you a junior Jedi Knight. We can't escape Star Wars. It scarred us for life. And that's why I count Mr. Waits among the icons of my personal apocalypse. In another section of "1 Don't Wanna Grow Up he sings "Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want That one really strikes home. All of us Star Wars babies have become horrible cynics, and I'm not sure I like us anymore. Faced with that reality, I really don't wanna grow up. May the Force be with me. Neither does an explanation get proffered for where in America the friends finally end up. A sheriff at one point tells them that they are "a long way from West Virginia The sheriff (Chris Penn) actually has the funniest role in the film. His name, Dollard, is misspelled on his badge so that he is addressed as Sheriff Dullard. Dollard stops the drag queens' car be cause of a broken taillight and then makes a pass at Vida. Interestingly. Dollard is not only intolerant of trans- vestites but also of minorities and he makes disparaging remarks about Noxema and Chi Chi before coming on to Vida. When Dollard finds out that Vida has male sexual organs, he goes on a vendetta to find the girls. They escape after Vida knocks Dollard unconscious (although the girls mistake him for be- ing dead.) The funniest bit in Wong Foo has Dollard searching for the transvestites from a list entitled "Places to Look for Homos" that includes beauty salons and ballet classes. The bulk of Wong Foo takes place in the town of Snydersville, where the girls have to spend a weekend when their car breaks down. The drag queens then pro- ceed to win over the hearts of the town with one uninspired act after another. Noxema helps a woman who re- fuses to talk come out of her shell; Chi Chi falls in love with a boy but then decides to fix him up with the young lady who also loves him; Vida, in the most painful part of the story, helps an abused wife (Stockard Channing) to stand up for herself. One of the many problems with Wong Foo. is how simply Noxema. Chi Chi and Vida deal with other people's problems when they have plenty of their own - poverty and loneliness to name two - that go unanswered. And what of the title? Vida steals a picture of Julie Newmar (who played Catwoman on Batman) from a restau- rant which has the inscription of the title. Vida uses it as a good luck charm and finally Julie Newmar appears at the end of the film. The inclusion of the picture in this film seemed designed only to give the film an original title. Wong Foo is an innocuous but sophomoric comedy. Seeing Swayze. Snipes and Leguizamo in dresses and make-up was a novel idea, but one idea cannot carry a two-hour film. On a scale of one to 10, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar rates a five. Providing Adult & Pediatric Care ? Women's Health X-Rays and Lab ?

Nationwide, October is known as AIDS Awareness Month and as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are Jso weekly awareness events in Oc- tober such as Cultural Awareness Week, observed the first week of October, and Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, ob- served the third week of the month. There are a number of campus-wide ac- a tivities that are going on in honor and support of these awareness events. For the entire month of October in honor of AIDS Awareness, the Student Health Service and the Office of Health Promotion and Weil-Being are sponsoring the Red Ribbon ? Project Red ribbons will be ? made available for anyone v who wishes to show their ? support and compassion for those living with HIVAIDS, as well as to create an awareness for this illness that has spread worldwide. Also, a canned food drive will go on throughout the month to create an awareness for AIDS, with all proceeds going to the Pitt County AIDS Service Organization (PICASO). There will be boxes set up in different locations on campus (Residence Halls, Student Health Center, Mendenhall, different classroom buildings, etc.) so that ECU can make their contribution to the commu- M nity. Other seminars, plays, ses- sions, etc. will be going on throughout the month in sup- ? port of AIDS Awareness. For National Breast Can- V cer Awareness Month, pink rib- " bons will be made available at the Student Health Center for those individu- als who wish to demonstrate an aware- ness for Breast Cancer. Information about breast cancer and pink ribbons can be picked up in the front lobby 01 uie health center (located between Joyner Library and Flannagan). The Cultural Awareness Committee has many events planned for the first week in October. One health-related event will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 3. "A Day With Your Heart is sponsored by the H.E.A.R.T. Committee. The American Heart Association will have booths on heart healthy behaviors, including healthy taste-testing. Drop by the Multi- purpose Room in Mendenhall between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for some great infor- mation on cardiovascular health. As far as Alcohol Awareness is con- cerned, a number of activities are in the makings for the third week in October. A kick-off that correlates with this event is the Adventure Weekend, sponsored by Orientation and the First Year Expe- rience.

Shatterproof connects on some songs as they combine power chords and melodic drumbeats for a strong track. Jay Hurley, the lead singer and brain trust of the band, produced seven powerful songs on the 11-track album. Songs like "The Principal and "Buyer's Market" are two of the best songs Hurley has written and com- posed. However, there are still several other tracks in need of recognition. "Barry Um" and "Alleyway" are two more examples of well-written and well-produced songs. Both "The Principal" and "Chunk of Sad" are also interesting because of the special instruments used to form these quality songs. Among these enhancements is a striking xy- lophone. Even Proofs lyrics are entertain- ing. In "The Principal the opening lines are, "Give me a piece of that hair Give me a part of your eye Smear that lipstick over the place 1 feel so hollow inside and I'll do any- thing Besides this song, "Chunk of Sad" also catches the listener's ear. "Chunk of Sad The worst kiss you ever had Your feet are for wander- ing around Lift your chunk of sad off the ground Resonating in the world of the unknown, Shatterproof is making a name for themselves by escaping from the- traditional alternative Minneapo- lis rock (i.e. Paul Westerberg or Bob Mould), and hitting the less-frequented genre of mellow alternative.

Miles Layton Sports Editor For the first time in five years the rugby team lost to North Caro- ? lina State University (13-5). It is the 'first time in two years ECU has lost Hoan in-state team. ' Unless, the team gets a wild card bid '?'? for further tourna- ?? ment play, this -match ends postseason play. NCSU's Phillip " Moss scored three penalty points be- ' fore Adam Overbay - scored a five point try" to make it 8- -0. ECU'S Mike Meyers scored a i ni ? 'try' making it 8-5. In the second half, Moss again scored another 'try' making it 13- 5. Though there were several near misses, the Pirates did not score again the rest of the game. "We played very well Coach Lawrence Babbit said. Injuries were part of the rea- son for the bitter loss. Kevin Sell- ers, a junior and key player, was injured early. Captain Casey Brannigan got a nasty cut to the eyebrow and was taken out of the game. Jordan Ashburn dislocated a shoulder and Club President Den- nis McLane injured his right knee. Injuries made prior to the match made Babbit put in four rookies. Rugby is no game for the weak or timid. The yearlong sea- son is played bv two teams of 15 players who match up against each other and mmmmmmmiiu score points by landing the ball in the endzone during two 40 minute halves. Scoring is called a 'try' when successful and is worth five points. Penalties count for three and must be scored by kick- ing the ball through a football grid- iron. Unlike football, there are no pads or forward passes. The ball must be passed laterally but can be run into the endzone. If a ball gets lost in a pileup of players where ownership is contested, the two teams face off and try to push each other away until the ball is behind See NCSU page 9 Photo by J.MILES LAYTON The ECU Rugby team fell to NCSU last Saturday for the first time in five years (13-5). It is the first time in two years the team has been beat by an in-state team. "Rugby gives me a chance to release a little stress created by a competitive study environment" ? James "the gimp" Crouch ECU women runners take third J. Miles Layton Sports editor Crowd witnesses excitement, win The women's cross country team finished third this past weekend at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Suzanne Bellamy led the Pirate team to victory, despite having eight stitches removed from her knee caused by a biking ac- cident two weeks ago. She finished the 3.1 mile course with a time of 18:57 in eleventh place. 13th place went to Dava Rhodes who finished with a 19:03 with Kerri Hartling close by with a 14th place finish at 19:04. Despite hamstring troubles which had plagued her over the past couple weeks, Karen Reinhard placed 17th at 19:07. In spite of her top finish, Reinhard still feels she had a bad day. "I felt I could have run a lot bet- ter f I hadn't had any hamstring prob- lems over the last two weeks which prevented me from a lot of the workouts Reinhard said. Finishing 31st was Tara Rhodes with a time of 19:50. She said the course through the woods was tough but enjoy- able. "I liked the course because it never leveled off Rhodes said. "It was a good college course Coach Charles "Choo" Justice was impressed with the third place finish over such tough teams. "The teams in this meet were tre- mendous Justice said. "By running against teams of this caliber, we will do better against CAA teams who don't have such a tough schedule The winner of the meet was Wake Forest who consis- tently rank nation- ally. Texas A&M fin- ished second with Virginia Tech and Appalachian State finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Justice said Virginia Tech is much like conference powerhouse William and Mary in the CAA conference. He feels the win means the team, on a good day, can take the conference Amanda Ross Stuff Writer Saturday's game between ECU and West Virginia had all the ele- ments of a good movie. There was drama, suspense and of course a happy ending. The first quarter for the Pirates was picture perfect On their very first possession, quarterback Marcus Crandell connected with split end Larry Shannon for a 67- yard, touchdown pass.With the play- ers pumped up and the fans going crazy, the Pirates continued to dazzle and amaze a West Virginia team that looked sloppy in the first half. Going into the game, the WVU defense, led by J.T. Thomas, was ranked ninth nationally and their offense was ranked 25th nationally. The Mountaineers just didn't have it all together in the first half. They were outscored and outplayed.West Virginia only put nine points on the board during the first half, while ECU had 20 points, which came from three touchdowns and two of three good extra point attempts by Chad Holcomb. With such a good first half, it looked as though ECU might make this a high scoring game in their favor. However, the Mountaineers came out in the third quarter a whole new team. It looked like the fierce team the players and fans had heard about all week. This time it was WVU's turn to prove why their defense was ranked so high in the country, and they did just that. Incomplete passes haunted Crandell in the sec- ond half. With four incomplete passes and an interception in the third quarter, it looked like a differ- ent Pirate team. Dropped passes and sloppy plays, made it appear as though the Pirates might not hang onto the lead for very long. The Pirates began to get out of their slump in the fourth quar- ter. They gave up a field goal early on, but with about two minutes left, Holcomb nailed a 27-yard, field goal to put the Pirates up by three. The Mountaineers produced no points on their next possession. Tb the fans and players it looked as though the game was complete. But then a controversial fumble gave WVU the ball back. Coach Logan said he saw the noseguard for WVU swipe the ball away before the snap. It would have been an off-sides call, but none of the officials saw it Fortunately, West Virginia did not gain any points, and the fairy tale en came true for the Pirates. After eight previous meeting all resulting in losses, ECU came away with a 23-20 victory. It might not have been the prettiest game, but the Pirates went in Dowdy- Ficklen and came away with what they wanted, a history making win. ECU played hard and it paid off for them If they play with as much heart intensity and enthusiasm as they did Saturday, the rest of the season should be a breeze for them. Florida Gators defeat ladies' soccer team title. "We have a good shot at wining it" Justice said. "Since I have been with the cross country team, we've never been in a position to win in the conference, and now we are. Reinhard is optimistic about a conference title. "If we keep improving at the steady rate we are, then we definitely have an extremely good chance to take the conference title she said.

The Lady Pirates finished winless in the University of Florida's Sunshine shootout. Seven different Lady Gators contributed to the scoring flurry, while midfielder Randee Koeppel had a carreer day for UF as she scored one goal and added two as- sists. Florida allowed two shots to ECU's 35 on their way to the vic- tory. Florida goalkeeper Michelle Harris recorded two saves while Lady Pirate goalkeeper Joey Clark notched seven. "Playing in this type of atmo- sphere is a great experience for our team coach Neil Roberts said. "I was pleased with our team's second half performance we connected on a few passes and settled down a bit more, and that was certainly encouraging ECU will return to the ECU Soccer Complex on Wednesday, Oct. 4 ot battle Wake Forest in a cross-state rivalry.

Western Carolina, UNC Charlotte, Campbell, and UNC Chapel Hill rounded out the top five. Freshmen Jamie Mance was the top Pirate Finisher with a 27:03 time for five miles which earned him a 26th place finish overall. Fellow freshmen Jeremy Coleman just missed a top 30 finish with a time of 27:08, which gave him the 31st place finish. "As a team, this was a pretty good finish Assistant Coach Mike Ford said.

(AP) - It was hyped in TV commercials, billboards, newspaper advertise- ments and late-night talk shows: Shaquille O'Neal vs. Hakeem Olajuwon. In the end, the one-on-one game between the Orlando Magic's man-child and his veteran Houston Rockets nemesis became just an- other unfulfilled promise in a city Soccer team defeated in overtime Erika Leigh Hamby Staff Writer The men's soccer team lost 6-3 in overtime late Saturday night in CAA men's soccer action at Univer- sity of Richmond (UR). ECU fell behind 2-0 early in the game, but later came back and scored three unanswered goals to take the lead 3-2. With 20 minutes left in the game a UR player scored to send the match into overtime. The UR Spiders scored three in overtime to win. The Spiders took advantage of two penalty kicks early in the game scoring on both. But ECU's senior Marc Mullin found sophomore John Swagart near the goalpost, and Swagart drove it in for the first of his two goals in the game. The Pirates' next goal came when junior Derrick Faulcon as- sisted senior Dusty Belk with a 22- yard shot into the Richmond goal. "We fought hard to come back said Faulcon. ECU's final goal came three minutes later when Swagart sailed a header past the Rich- mond goalkeeper. The Spiders re- sponded to the ECU comeback with a 35-yard pass that went right past ECU goalie Jay Davis. ECU Head Coach Will Wiberg was pleased with the goal. "It was a gorgeous goal. It was a real momentum breaker Coach Wil Wiberg said. At the end of regulation the game was tied 3-3 and the Pirate team was tired. 'It was a gorgeous goal. It was a real momentum breaker" ? Coach Will Wiberg UR came back and scored three unanswered goals to end the game with a score of 6-3. The men's squad drops to 1-9-0(1- 5 in CAA). "These guys really gave it their all Wiberg said.

Came time is set at 7:30 p.m. famous for them. With 36 hours to go before the $1 million pay-per-view event, Olajuwon backed out, complaining of a sprain in his lower back. The Houston Rockets center, who appeared healthy and men- tioned no injury at a news confer- ence in New York on Thursday, pulled out Friday because of a back injury sustained last week while lifting weights, promoters said. His condition was improving and he'd hoped to play Thursday. But the pain limited his lateral movements during a workout later in the day, said promoter Leonard Armato, who also is Olajuwon's and O'Neal's agent. The official an- nouncement was made Friday after a medical evaluation. "The injury is a bilateral sprain in the lower back said a statement by Dr. Francis Pflum Jr an ortho- pedic specialist who examined Olajuwon here Friday. Pflum, contracted as physician for the event, was not-at the news conference. Neither were Olajuwon and O'Neal. Pflum, later contacted by The Associated Press, said the Rockets' team doctor advised Olajuwon against competing, but that the player went to Atlantic City. "He's obviously in a lot of pain Pflum said. "I just didn't think it was in the best interest of the NBA, him or the fans to go out and play Shaquille O'Neal Olajuwon was disappointed. "1 have been looking forward to this one-on-one challenge against Shaq, because it gave us a chance to show the fans our individual skills, in a way they haven't seen before Olajuwon said in a state- ment released by the promoters. O'Neal, who boarded Donald J. Trump's personal 737 jet late Fri- day, bound for Orlando, Fla said he was disappointed. Asked if Olajuwon's injury was legitimate, he said, "I don't know Trump had an opinion, though. "There's a rumor out there that the NBA had something to do with it. But it's just a rumor he said. NBA spokesman Brian Mclntyre called the suggestion ri- diculous. He said the NBA, which was in the midst of a labor dispute with players when the one-on-one deal was announced, had nothing to do with the cancellation. It was to have been the first on-court meeting between the two centers since Olajuwon and the Rockets swept O'Neal and the Or- lando Magic in the NBA Finals last June. The pay-per-view telecast, avail- able through local cable operators, was $19.95. It was offered by Showtime Event Television, the same company that teievised the controversial Aug. 19 boxing match between Mike Tyson and Peter McNeeley, which lasted only 89 sec- onds. The "War on the Floor spon- sored by Taco Bell and with $1 mil- lion in prize money at stake, was promoted heavily and was to have included two other matchups: Lak- ers guard Nick Van Exel vs. Nets guard Kenny Anderson, and rookie Kevin Garnett, the fifth selection in last June's NBA draft right out of high school, against No. 1 pick Joe Smith of Maryland. No figures were available Fri- day on pay-per-view sales, said McAdory Lipscomb Jr general manager of Showtime. Those who bought the pay-per- view telecast aren't guaranteed re- funds. It is up to their retailer whether they get their money back, Lipscomb said. But he said 95 percent of the viewers would not have signed up until Saturday. "There's probably not going to be a large number of refunds needed Lipscomb said. In Atlantic City, all but 200 tickets in the 4,000-seat arena were sold prior to the cancellation. The tickets were $50 to $400. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning were consid- ered as substitutes, but Armato said Olajuwon's marquee value made him irreplaceable. "I'd rather absorb a loss than give the fans less than they expect and deserve he said. It wasn't clear whether an- nouncers Chick Hearn. Billy Packer and Bill Walton would be paid any- way. Armato wasn't sure. Frank Vuono, Olajuwon's mar- keting representative, said the in- jury would not th.eaten Olajuwon's career or season. "The injury to him is serious, but with rest and proper treatment, he will be able to return to the court soon Vuono said. ? mt " The East Carolinian Tuesday, October 3, 1995 Baseball still in slump CHICAGO (AP) - Except for one game Monday, baseball's regular sea- son is over. The aggravation is not. The end to that is nowhere in sight. In a poll released Sunday by The Associated Press, six of 10 people said they are less interested in baseball now than in August 1994, when the final third of the season and the World Series were canceled so Don Fehr and Bud Selig could launch com- peting bids for the Nobel Peace Prize. The same poll found that while 36 percent of the people surveyed in March said they were fans of the game, only 28 percent did so in Sep- tember. No surprise there, either. And none of these people has yet had to deal with a postseason TV schedule that might have been made up by Beavis and Butt-head.

A player can not clip a person in the head, but when a person is tackled, that person knows it. When there is a fumble, both teams make a mad dash and usually pile up to try and get possesion. Freshman James "the Gimp" Crouch is attracted to the sport be- cause it is a release. "Rugby gives me a chance to release a little stress created by a competitive study environment" Crouch said.

"Everything is pretty well thought out he said. "It's not a bunch of retards killing them- selves The way the ball goes down the field requires coordinated timing. After the ball is put into play, a lat- eral line of players toss the ball to one another in an attempt to avoid being tackled by the other team. The ball can be kicked, tossed and carried as long as the motion is lat- eral. This requires a great deal of teamwork which is brought out when the ball is placed in either a ruck or mall situation. Part of the team will mesh up and, like two Sumo wrestlers, will try to push each other The first team to have the bali behind them gets posses- sion. During this strenous action, several key players try to maneu- ver the ball backwards. Babbit described the sport as a "gentleman's game The B team, which is composed of rookies and people who are no longer eligible for collegiate play, was beaten by NCSU (29-12). If there aren't enough people to field a team, then the match is cancelled. Due to in- juries, NCSU did not have enough people for the B team match. ECU sent in four players to help NCSU out so the match could be played. Those four players scored four times to help NCSU win. Babbit is no stranger to rugby. He started playing in England 30 years ago and even coached NCSU from '73-76. Babbit has been head rugby coach since 1992. Unlike many coaches, he is still active in his sport and played in the B game last weekend. "I enjoy playing the game for two reasons Babbit said. "One, it is a challenge and I love the sport. Two, I've still got my wheels The match determined who would be the Eastern finalist of North Carolina. Whoever won would play the western finalist to become state champion. The winner of this game would go on the national level. In the last five years, the rugby team has consistently been in the 30 teams nationwide. This year's A team is 3-2 and the B team is 4-1. Rugby is a club sport which is supported by dues from the players and the university. Practice is ev- ery Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 4-6 p.m. behind the Allied Health Building.

West Virginia was in a man-to- mail coverage defense, and h-ieet. 6-inch Shannon towered over the competition, putting him in Cradell's sights. I saw that he was wide open and 1 threw it Crandell said. It was Shannon's longest ca- reer reception, and his first of two touchdowns for the day. Shannon, along with the other Pirate receiv- ers, are under pressure to perform as well as they did a year ago. The tall and acrobatic Shannon is a fa- vorite target of Crandell's. but is also a target for an opposing team's defense. it's always good to get a big game in to gain confidence, espe- cially against a great secondary like West Virginia's Shannon said. The West Virginia secondary included pre-season Ail-American selection Aaron Beasley at cornerback. Marcus Crandell, who added rushing the ball to his offensive ar- senal against Syracuse, rushed for the other ECL' touchdown of the first quarter of play. Crandell added something new to his repertoire in this game as well: punting. Following Larry Shannon's sec- ond touchdown of the game early in the second quarter. East Carolina's defense stifled the WVL' offense on a fourth-down play on the ECU 15-yardlme. Crandell was sacked for a loss of 13 yards two plays later, and punted the hall op third down, surprising the West Vir- ginia defense and keeping them away from the Pirate end zone. West Virginia crossed the goal line before the end of the first half, however, but their two-point con- version attempt was denied by the Pirate defense. A 32-yard field goal attempt by WVL with two seconds left in the second quarter was also thwarted by the Pirate "D ECL' has previously been known for its high-powered of- fense, but it's the defense who has been the mam-stav so far this sea- son "We just went out and tried to make a statement that we're physical, too said inside line- backer and Butkus award candi- date Mark Libiano.
