The lecture included a fashion show by Chapel Hill native Alexander Julian. For copies of the speech call 1-800-I-wanna-be-a-prep. Around the Country Washington, D.C. - Presi- dent Bill Clinton is outraged over what he is calling the nation's worst nightmare. Clinton said D.C. residents Newt Gingrich and Bob Packwood were seen at Thee Dollhouse stuffing $3 bills into the thongs of dancers. Ironically the "queer-dollar bills" portrayed Clinton's face. Atlanta, Ga. - Ted Turner and Jane Fonda began marketing "pony-tail caps" following the Braves' World Series win over the Indians. Fonda, seen clutching Turner's toupee as the Indians took their last turn at bat had her ponytail fashioned in a "I- wish-I-was-stilI-25 hair color" pulled through a hole strategi- cally located on the top of her Braves cap. After the game, thou- sands of women, and some long- haired men, surrounded Fonda in a quest for her caD.

Da Money Staff Writer Steve Logan is out, Lee Majors is in. That's right, when word made it to Hollywood that the ECU football coach was offered a 10-year, $1 mil- lion contract, actor Lee Majors was outraged and subsequently called a press conference. "I'm the million dollar man Majors told correspondent Sam Donaldson. "Sure my show was 'The Six Mil- lion Dollar Man' in the '70s, but I haven't worked in six or seven years I'll take what I can get Majors told a room full of high power media officials yesterday. Majors also ensured the ECU alumni of his intentions. In a Home- coming Alumni Radio Address, he assured the alumni of his capabili- ties on the Pirate Football helm. "I'm the Fall Guy' damnit, not Logan! I'm the one that never spent much time in school, but still taught ladies plenty. I'm the one who's never been seen with anything less than a nine so fine.

The Fruit Brute is making a comeback! This overall-clad werewolf was once a happy member of Genera! Foods' family of "Monster Cereal" mascots. Along with fellow monster mascots Frankenberry and Count Chocula. Fruit Brute was the idol of cereal-munching children every- where. But all was not well in Monsterland, and the Fruit Brute was dismissed by his patent company in 1979. Following a brief attempt at a comeback as an adversary for the Crunchberry Beast in a seldom- seen ad campaign in 1980, the Fruit Brute vanished from public scrutiny. The amiable lycanthrope has long been thought dead by cold cereal fans the world over. But now, bolstered by the suc- cess of his cameo appearance last year in the Quentin Tarantino block- buster Pulp Fiction, the Fruit Brute is ready to take the world by storm. "When 1 got the script, I thought no, I knew that this was the role for me Brute told TLC in a recent interview. "Quentin's a good kid. He loved my cereal when he was a little boy, and the 12 essential vi- tamins and iron 1 gave him every morning helped him grow into the man he is today. I can't thank him enough Apparently, Tarantino feels the same way about his star. "Fruit Brute has always been a great ac- tor he said. "He just hasn't gotten the roles he needed to prove his tal- ent Some people would disagree with me, but it's true. I mean, have you seen those Crunchberry com- mercials?

Fruit Brute appears on a box of cereal be- ing eaten by a drug dealer (played by Eric Stolz). The scene is brief, but some people feel it promotes See WEREWOLF page 2 ' development J.B. Phibbin Staff Writer In a bold move today, MTV, the multimedia conglomerate and cable tele- vision channel, announced that it has formed a fourth political faction, the MTV party. Citing national demand for more choices at the polls tomorrow, MTV says it will sponsor a number of new candidates for public office in the up- coming election. Chief among these new candidates is screen actor John Travolta, who will be running for a Congressional seat in California. When asked why Travolta had decided to try his hand at politics, a repre- sentative of MTV stated, "After Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty, John has the respect of the people once again. He feels there is nothing he can't do, and we believe him. This is a situation of perfect coincic" 'nee. We needed a strong front-runner and John had this enormous ego To make sure that enough press time is given to Travolta's candidacy this close to voting time, MTV will be suspending their Tuesday night pro- gramming. Instead of the eight hour special that was originally scheduled tor to- night, "TLC, Silverchair and Alanis Morisette: How We Can Make Anyone Love Music That Really Sucks MTV will be running a constant rotation of "John Travolta: Look Who's Talking Doublespeak Now written in part by new MTV party speechwriter, Quentin Tarantino. Travolta could not be reached for comment at press time, but long-time Travolta friend and sometime co-star Kirstie Alley, when asked what Travolta's chances were, said, "John will win because of the female vote. He has one of the greatest asses in the world. What woman wouldn't vote for that ass. Mmm, 1 would MTV wants it known that Travolta is not the only candidate they have jockeying for position. Gavin MacLeod, Captain Stubing from "The Love Boat" will be running for office in Rhode Island, rock singer Jon Bon Jovi is up for election in Massachusetts and swimsuit model Kathy Ireland will take it to the voters in Louisiana. All in all. MTV says they are satisfied with their presence at the polls this year, especially given their late entrance into the race. One MTV insider tells us that even if none of the candidates are elected, they are taking steps toward getting Darryl Hall and John Oates to run for the White House next year.

"Ted (Turner) assured me in 1979 that when he is dating Jane Fonda, the Atlanta Braves won the World Series and pigs fly, I could have the top Pirate position Majors explained. North Carolina is one of the big- gest pork producers in the nation. With this in mind, Majors rented a double-wide just outside of Pitt County near the pig farms, since that would be the best place to observe pigs in flight. In a subsequent press release, Ted Turner responded by stating, "Some- one must have slipped some LSD into my drink on the night Majors referred to. I don't recall ever any statement to the nature of the Braves winning the World Series. I, furthermore, don't remember exactly what happened that night, but let's just say I was found talking to lightpoles at 3 a.m In a related story the Bionic Woman herself, Lindsay Wagner, was arrested by Pitt County Sheriffs depu ties just outside of the chancellor's house on Fifth Street. She was sub- sequently charged with an attempted double murder of Chancellor Eakin and his wife. The deputies were tipped off from a distraught and currently unemployed attorney, Marcia Clark of Los Angeles, CA. Judge Pee Dee Dredd has yet to schedule a tentative date for the double murder charge facing Wagner in Pitt County Superior Court. But her legal "Dream Team" has already jumped into the media circus with both feet. "If Lee Majors is going to be the new football coach, Linday Wagner is due for the chancellor's job. Her in- tentions weren't murder at all. She mistook the chancellor's house for the Attic when heard from a friend known only as Kato that Chairmen of the Board were playing stated Wagner's attorney Johnny Cochra'n. "It was her first time in Greenville, an honest mistake Pee Dee hurt in explosion Staff reports ECU's mascot Pee Dee the Pi- rate has survived an accident which turned hii head into a pumpkin last week. Pee Dee now has an orange face following an explosion in the chemistry department. "I don't know what happened said Id E. Ot, a chemistry major. "We were doing an experiment on mu- tating school mascots Pee Dee vol- unteered and I guess the chemicals got mixed up Pee Dee is taking his new look in stride and trying to keep his pumpkin-head from rotting before Halloween. He cannot talk because no nose, mouth or eye holes have been cut to date, but in a written interview. Pee Dee seemed rather in- different to the new image he faces. "I think it's kind of cool Pee Dee wrote. "Now people across the country will really understand what a big deal Halloween is in Greenville Reports indicate that Southern Mississippi's eagle mascot tried to turn his face into pumpkin pie after ECU's victory last weekend, but Pee Dee tarred and feathered the tar- nished bird. Concerned administrators are working day and night to pressure a joint effort between the chemis- try and biology departments in fix- ing ECU's mascot. Pee Dee stated he would wait patiently until they can reverse the effects of the experi- ment. He said he would have liked to have been turned into Brad Pitt or Antonio Banderas, but understands his head is in fact a pump- kin and there's nothing he can do about it. An insider with ECU'S counseling center has confirmed the mascot is un- der psychiatric evaluation. "Heads are going to roll for this one said Chemistry Chair I. Ex- plode. "The students weren't supposed to be doing those experiments in that area. It is strictly off limits to stu- dents. Just because their student fees pay for everything they used doesn't mean anything. Pee Dee's face will be gruesome once again, as soon as our top-notch scientists can figure out what the Pee Dee looks how foolish he hie Photo festive now, but just imagine 'II look come December. hell they're doing Until a solution can be found, Pee Dee stated he will continue to cheer ECU on, even when Christmas rolls around (if his head hasn't rolled off first). Students have expressed delight at Pee Dee's new look, until they find out the pumpkin may be more than a temporary seasonal joke. Kramer spotted on campus Staff Reports "Seinfeld" star Kramer was seen cavorting around campus by several students. The wacky fellow who plays Jerry Seinfeld's friend Kramer was alleg- edly in town looking for a replace- ment for Seinfeld's girlfriend, the insatiable, and very much younger than Jerry, Soshanna. According to Kramer's spokes- person, he was scoping out area sorority houses 2 ; � .� and dance clubs in hopes of finding a "perky little babe" to give Jerry for Christmas. Some stu- dents thought this alibi was some- what of a farce considering Seinfeld is Jewish and does not celebrate Christmas. Some proposed the idea that Kramer was actually in town working as a soda salesman at home football games. "I saw him at the Temple game said sophomore Chip Dip. "He was in the student section bellowing Coke, Pepsi I said to my girlfriend, 'Girlfriend, doesn't that dude look like Kramer? She thought he did too. We just laughed. And to think all along it was him Dean of Students Ronald Smear said someone claiming to be Kramer called his office requesting permis- sion to solicit materials on the mall. "I just laughed and hung up Smear said. "Kramer? On this campus? Come on, we had a difficult enough time getting the 3 Allman Broth- ers here Smear warned students, particu- larly young, female students that Kramer may use aliases including The Assman and Cosmo. Yesterday, a group of eager fe- male students gathered in Joyner Li- brary to determine what Seinfeld may like in his women.

Rex Roland, NuSkin salesman, was on hand to provide tips for ap- plying excess lipstick. He had lipliners and lipstick shades avail- able in a wide range of colors in- cluding Lick-me-Lavender and Scan- dalous Scarlet According to Roland, it was his biggest salesday this year. "I usually sell a large quantity of skin tighteners, particularly to the women's club at the Greenville Country Club, but yesterday I sold over 200 tubes of lipstick and lipliners. I guess everybody wants to be the next Soshanna Roland said. According to Kramer's spokes- person, the next Soshanna will have the privilege of sitting on the Seinfeld set through endless hours of taping, be the butt of Seinfeld jokes, as well as attending New York Knicks games as Jerry's sidekick. Last month. Soshanna was featured on the cover of The National In- quirer. Students interested in becom- ing the next Soshanna can find Kramer hanging around campus, or in the stands at the next home game. )t4tde SPORTg Pirates attack vicious pumpkinspage �� Cigar smoking skeleton tells allpage H nmMMmm 'ity&oui t& teae� cki Follow the nearest bat to our lair under a large tombstone with R.I.P, and a skull and crossbones etched on it.

Spermhardt held the lead through the entire race, but in the last lap was nudged into the wall on turn four by the aggressive Gordon. Following the race, Spermhardt expressed his displeasure over what he called "unfair tactics" by Gordon. Spermhardt plans to ask NASCAR officials to review tapes to determine if Gordon may have been a bit too pushy. "No one should treat fellow driv- ers the way he does Spermhardt said. "I mean I was in the lead all through the race and just when I thought I had that sucker nailed, he came up and bumped me. Is that the way NASCAR wants their races con- ducted? Hasn't that pretty boy ever heard of driver courtesy?" While Spermhardt bitched and moaned in pit row, Gordon was cel- ebrating his victory with wife Brooke in the winner's circle. "I won this one for Brooke Gor- don said. "She's what keeps my mo- tor roaring and my ball bearings lubed When asked how he felt about Spermhardt's accusations, Gordon just smiled and said "that redneck ain't nothing but a whining, crying wimp who can't take what he dishes out" Gordon's victory secures his lead in the points competition, but Spermhardt plans to "actively pursue Gordon's tail" in Atlanta.

I got me dis new T-shirt wit da Intimidator's picture on it and dease new headphones and I'ma going to Atlanta and we gonna raise some hell if he pulls dat trick again "Wtoitie IRevietv Monkeys add depth to Letter J.B. Wright Staff Writer � In 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a book called The Scarlet Let- ter. While this book was a small hit in its time, it didn't really have much of an impact within the literary commu- nity. There were many problems with it Aside from the fact that Hawthorne had a bad reputation for dressing as a woman at ail the book signing par- ties, the story wasn't fully thought out and the writing itself was a bit bland. However, Hollywood always sees potential in half-baked ideas. There- fore, Hollywood has taken Hawthorne's lame book and turned it into one kick-ass movie. Chinese action movie director John Woo expands on the religious themes he introduced in Hard Target by tackling the story of Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman who is im- pregnated by the Reverend Dimmesdale. However, Woo puts the "woo-woo" in Hawthorne by making several significant changes. To start off, he switches the loca- tion of the story from its puritan New England setting to the dark jungles of Africa. This simple switch immedi- ately improves on Hawthorne's idea because it allows Hester to have a monkey companion. Any story with a monkey is worth a look. Woo and cowriter Joe Eszterhas dare to explore within this story of infidelity and sin those issues which Hawthorne ignoranuy overlooked. For example, what exactly does the scar- let "A" which Hester is forced to wear mean? This has been unclear for over a century. The script smartly includes a 30 minute discussion between Hester and her mind-reading monkey about the possible interpretations of the letter "A It's an intelligent dia- logue that is also filled with witty ref- erences to Madonna and Al Gore (thanks to some script doctoring from Quentin Tarantino). The casting is also brilliant Car- rie Fisher shines as Hester. She spits out her lines with such fire and en- ergy that one would swear she was on cocaine again. In a scene where Hester bathes herself in front of a mirror, Fisher magically captures the sensation of a woman who wants to cleanse herself of her sinful past It's a heartfelt moment that wonderfully ends with an inside joke when Hester turns around and catches Harrison Ford (in an uncredited cameo) watch- ing her. Those familiar with Star Wars and Witness can't help but smile with nostalgic glee. As the guilt-ridden Reverend Dimmesdale, Kevin Costner once again turns in the most passionate performance of the year. Is there any- thing this man can't do? Costner lay- ers the otherwise flat Dimmesdale with the same complexities that his other characters have possessed. Costner's Dimmesdale is the joyous baseball player from Bull Durham and the brooding Mariner from Waterworld all rolled into one. I know Costner has already won an Oscar for his performance in Robin Hood, but if he doesn't win best actor for this film, it will prove my theory that the Academy is biased. As for the rest of the cast they're all perfect. Most notable is Tony Danza, who adds just the right amount of humor to the Chillingworth character. Sure, Chillingworth is an evil man who must die, but boy can Are you sad you didn't make the Homecoming court? M ou cast; k& ffuia or- a aay V drug use in America's youth. "It's a damn shame cried the salty Captain Crunch, veteran of more than 25 years' service on the cereal seas. "All the childien loved the Fruit Brute. I still get questions about those Crunchberry ads he did with us. And now, this. It's just a shame 1 tells ya "I just don't understand why he did it" intoned Brute's former Mon- ster Cereal coworker Frankenberry. "Those Crunchberry ads were bad enough, but this It's a scandal "Yes, it frightens me Count Chocula added. When asked about the reactions of his former colleagues, Brute ex- pressed sadness. "It's a sordid busi- ness, that cereal game he said. "Ev- eryone knows about the Quisp trag- edy. Why he started hanging out with Sid Vicious, I'll never know Quisp's death, in fact prompted the star's 15-year absence from the he tell a joke. The fact that Danza has worked with monkeys before only makes the film's climax (which fea- tures Danza fighting Hester's ape companion on top of a volcano) more of a joy. Woo's visual sense is a wonder to behold. Every actor looks astonish- ingly beautiful, even the monkey. Woo takes advantage of the fact that he is working with film as opposed to pen and paper by incorporating symbol- ism into his art, something that writ- ers just can't seem to grasp. My favorite scene is at the very end when Hester tears off her scarlet letter and throws it next to an apple tree. As Hester and Dimmesdale walk away to find a better life together, an apple falls next to the scarlet letter and slowly rots. Then a snake slithers down the tree, eats the apple and places the letter on its own chest This is genius at work. This scene clues the audience into the idea that eating bad fruit is a sin. If only Hawthorne had at least tried to use symbolism in his story. Unfortu- nately, film wasn't an option during Hawthorne's time. Too bad. The Scarlet Letter is a perfect example of why the world needs Hol- lywood. Those working in film have the rare ability to see the gaps in other works of art These gaps must be filled. I applaud everyone involved in this film for taking Hawthorne's brain fart and turning it into something with real substance. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there isn't anything good in books. If anything, history has shown us that books are the sugar and milk of great art and ideas. However, if you want the whole cake, then leave it to Hollywood to provide dessert On a scale of one to 10, The Scarlet Letter rates a 12. screen.

(AP) - Soldiers spend most of their careers training for the day they come under enemy fire. Last week, paratroopers of the famed 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg came under fire, but not from the enemy, from one of their own. A sniper opened fire on about 1,300 paratroopers as they were beginning a four-mile run on Fri- day. The barrage left one dead and 18 wounded. Six remained hospi- talized Sunday evening.

In an asthma attack, the smooth muscles that line the lungs contract blocking the passage of air and leaving victims gasping for breath. Scientists have thought the muscles contract because of an unusual reaction to irritants or allergens, such as airborne pollen or pollutants. Togias and a team of Hopkins researchers in Baltimore believe asthmatics and non-asthmatics alike have the same air-blocking reaction to lung irritation. But they contend asthmatics have a second problem: lung muscles that cannot relax nor- mally.

Police prepare for crowds Stephanie Eaton Staff Writer Downtown Greenville comes to life every year as people celebrate Hal- loween in the bars and in the streets. Greenville police reported that an es- timated 8.000 to 10,000 students and non-students crammed themselves into the downtown area last year. The abundant amount of people has the ECU and Greenville Police De- partments concerned. Both police departments state the reason for their concern is not due to the riots that took place downtown last month. Ex- tra precautions are taken every year so that students can have an enjoy- able time and not have to be con- cerned with their safety. Both depart- ments plan to bring out extra patrols to help insure the safety of all those who participate. "We are bringing in extra patrols because there will be people from all over the state and not just ECU stu- dents said Teresa Crocker ECU po- lice chief. "The ECU police force just wants to make sure that they can keep a handle on any problem they might have with alcohol, and that all the stu- dents felt safe The ECU Police Department plans to increase their patrol. Two officers will be assigned to Mendenhall to watch over Midnight Madness, an annual event. There will also be five officers on foot, working with the Greenville Police Department. "The most important issue is that this event is safe, and if people step over the line the police will be there to step in Crocker said. The Greenville Police Depart- ment plans to have 100 officers on patrol for the Halloween festivities. There are no plans to block off streets unless things get out of hand. The Greenville Police Department cau- tions students not to bring alcohol into the downtown area and not to bring any instruments that could cause harm. "I look forward to students hav- ing a good time and the police de- partment is planning to have another successful Halloween celebration said Captain John Ennis, head of se- curity for Halloween festivities for the Greenville Police Department. Residence halls are also trying to make a safer environment for stu- dents. All residence halls will have a 24-hour lock up. Resident advisors wili work with police to check stu- dents' IDs at the door. Students are also prohibited to have any overnight guests. "It makes me feel safer as a stu- dent to have the extra security. The police is doing their job said Lena Gibbs, an R.A. in Cotten Hall. People from all over the state flock to ECU and downtown Greenville to participate in the Hal- loween activities. ECU and Greenville Police Departments strongly encour- age students to take part in the Hal- loween activities, but to think sensi- bly and not do anything to endanger lives. "I feel the students at ECU can control themselves in an appropriate manner said Lee Caulder, a senior. "I hope that the Greenville and ECU police forces don't have to become involved, but that it is always good to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best Stores offer more m than just books on the Street Bookstores maintain friendly competition Aaron Tuell Staff Writer Students have often debated which book store offers more for your money.

The beginning of a new semes- ter, particularly in the Fall, can be an expensive time for students. One can spend hundreds of dollars on books alone, not to mention any "ne- cessities" like posters, ECU stickers and clothing, Greek paraphernalia or anything else within reach at the checkout line of your favorite book store. Students' loyalties are divided between the Student Stores and UBE, and af�C investigation searched for the basis of students' opinions. The purchasing and reselling of books was the primary issue. Every- one wants to buy books at the cheap- est prices and resell them to the highest bidder. In order to help bring some sort of answer to light, TEC randomly sampled a conserva- tive selection of identical books from both stores and found that the prices were either identical or simi- lar. Both institutions have almost identical buyback policies. Both stores give two weeks from the first day of class to give a full refund. At UBE, you must have a UBE sticker inside the book in order to get a fuli refund according to textbook manager Liz Furci, be- cause they "don't want to give a full refund for a book from another store Student Stores and UBE both claim to buy back a student's text at half of a new book's value at the end of the semester - if bought new. The now used book then will be re- sold ai three-quarters of its new book price considering that the edi- tion will be used again and not re- placed. Don Edwards, manager of UBE, believes there is a perception among students that there is some sort of conspiracy between the university, publishers and the book stores to outrageously mark up new books, then change the texts and curricu- lum the following semesters, result- ing in unfair buyback prices. "Books are generally marked up 25 percent Edwards said. "We would say that loud and clear, and post it anywhere New books are expensive and the profit margins can be obscure. Edwards said he sees both stores having an aggressive attitude toward used books as a good thing. "Both (UBE and Student Stores) have a much, much larger percentage of used books than the average book store Edwards said. Books can have a short-lived shelf life, with new editions being replaced by newer ones and the uni- versity constantly changing curricu- lum - resulting in a seemingly un- fair buyback price. Edwards credits some of the constant change to the dynamic na- ture of some areas of study. New in- formation and discovery can make even seemingly new editions obso- lete. Professors can decide they just don't like using a particular book for their class after trying it for a semester. For example, a $40 book may have very little or no buyback value. The books are then shipped out to See BOOKSTORES page 5 Self defense Julie Smith, Junior "UBE, because it is cheaper and more convenient Heather Mann, Junior "UBE, because there is better parking and it is a lot cheaper to buy books David Forehand, sophomore "UBE.

But, for others, who at- tended the 1996 Presidential Cam- paign panel discussion, they can hardly wait for the drama to begin. "A lot of people, a lot of stu- dents want to know things about presidential candidates said Keith W. Cooper, vice president of Pi Sigma Alpha, which sponsored the event. "They hold certain issues dear to their hearts. This was an op- portunity for students to learn from the distinguished panel of profes- sors who answered questions that will of course be a part of the presi- dential debate dialogue in 1996. "Students had the opportunity. to participate with their questions as well, so 1 think the event was right on time. We need more of these types of events in the future Held in Mendenhall-Great Room 1 at 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, the panel discussion drew close to 25 students and non-students. They gathered to listen to the following faculty members: Dr. Thomas Eamon, associate professor of politi- cal science; Dr. Sean Kelly, associ- ate professor of political science; Dr. Carmine Scavo, associate professor of political science and Dr. Henry Ferrell. professor of history. The panel talked about the contenders who are involved with the presiden- tial campaign and the issues they will have to deal with. Each panel member gave a gen- eral introduction, briefly responded to a series of questions asked by Cooper, gave a summarization and then answered questions from the audience. One of trie main questions was the possibility of Colin Powell run- ning for the presidency. "If a black person has a chance to be president of the United States, he would have to run as a Republi- can Scavo said. Scavo said that an African- American person who runs as a Re- publican is seen more as an indi- vidual, while an African-American person who runs as a Democrat is seen as a person who is after his own special interests. "If nominated as a Republican - he would tear the party straight down the middle Kelly said. "I don't think he will get the nomina- tion of the Republican party, and it would be bad for the republican party if he did Kelly said most people in the re- publican party are looking to the far right of the party for leadership and if Powell is nominated, the most con- servative voters might not come out to the polls. Another panel topic was what issues would play the largest role during the 1996 campaigns. "We (the American public) get caught up in monetary issues Ferrell said. Ferrell said these types of issues only become important in a cam- paign when the election is going to be close, not a landslide. He also said issues for the 1996 election will be similar to the issues raised in the 1964 and 1968 elections like entitle- ments, domestic issues and civil rights issues. As for President Bill Clinton, the entire panel decided that in a two-way race between Clinton and Robert Dole, the main face on the Republican side at the moment, Clinton would win the election. However, Eamon said Clinton does have the problem in the public's eye of having low moral fi- ber and lacking the backbone to stay with his issues. Other questions included the following: whether or not Dole's age would cost him the presidency and whether or not Lamar Alexander or Phil Graham could get the republi- can nomination instead of Dole. Students attended for a variety of reasons. "I think it is necessary for the president of the college Democrats to be at a forum because I hope this would be a way to get students in- volved in the political process said Matt Stuart, a junior political sci- ence major and president of the col- lege Democrats. Stuart said the panel discussion was a worthwhile event. "It's always good to hear what the experts think and feel in antici- pation of what actually will happen in '96 Maureen Monti, a sophomore criminal justice major, said she also benefited from the experience. "I was interested in getting in- formation Monti said. "I want to be an informed voter next year. 1 got a lot from it (the discussion). J learned a lot about some of the can- didates who 1 hadn't heard hardly anything about Holly Hagey Staff Writer Computer technology is everywhere across the ECU campus and the fourth annual Technology Fair sponsored by Academic Computing explored these opportunities. The theme, Sail Into the Future Through Technology, was an in- dicator of what is going on around ECU. The Technology Fair was held in the Mendenhall multipurpose room on Oct 24 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Topics cov- ered during the fair included Netscape, virtual reality, computer mapping and several others. The purpose of these presentations by the staff and faculty was an opportu- nity to share with others how technol- ogy can be implemented in the classroom and used as a teaching tool. Stations were set up around the multipurpose room displaying subjects dealing with different aspects of tech- nology that are being used on the ECU campus. One of the booths dealt with a feature that enables the user to train computer software to use voice recogni- tion instead of the user having to touch the keyboard. If the computer has been trained correctly, the user can speak to the computer and print out the informa- tion without typing. "This was the best fair we've ever had said Terry Harrison, assistant man- ager of academic computing. "I think ev- eryone enjoyed the nautical theme Anyone who brought 3 12' dis- kettes could make their own copy of Netscape, PC Plus, Tincan, NAV and SAM. Two stations were set up, one for IBM and one for Macintosh. Netscape is a connection to the World Wide Web and allows the user to gather information. PC Plus is a program that enables anyone to hook up into the mainframe and obtain information about activities at ECU, such as sports sched- ules, and Tincan is its Macintosh equiva- lent SAM and NAV are anti-viral pro- grams designed for IBM and Macintosh. NAV and SAM are a step ahead of programs that scan software for viruses. These programs prevent viruses from entering software. Anyone interested in obtaining a free copy of this program should come by 208 Austin with a 3 1 2" diskette. Using technology in the classroom adds a diversity to teaching and makes learning more interesting. An objective of the fair was to spark an interest in ways to use more technology in class- rooms. "We hope that we will continue to have the technology fair on campus so it will allow faculty to share ways to use technology on campus and encourage them to use it said Harrison. ATM from page 3 The machine has been in place and out-of-order for a week, waiting for proper connections which will enable it to operate News is not so good for BB&T. Their machine has been boarded up for some time now. Many thought this was in preparation for the Halloween qnslaught, but not so, said John Charles of BB&T's Main Branch Of- fice. "We lost the bid for the contract Charles said. "Either our bid was not accepted, or it was too low Charles did not know which bank would be replacing their machine. Besides serving students, the Mendenhall location also serves most of the dovntown Greenville area. Currently, three machines are located on the west side of Mendenhall. The BB&T machine has been boarded up for more than three weeks, while the First Union machine was installed last week. The Wachovia Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is the only machine to remain opera- tional. First Union replaced the New East (now Triangle Bank) machine. The Triangle ATM was installed five years ago but was removed when cus- tomer needs started changing. "The industry has moved rapidly to Electronic Banking said Jerry Powell, senior Vice-President of Tri- angle Bank. "Students' needs have changed over the years and we found the location was no longer produc- tive Powell sited the change of down- town traffic patterns, the construction of the Rec Center and parking diffi- culties to the lowered number of trans- actions at their Mendenhall ATM. "Availability is becoming more of an issue now Powell said. "It con- cerns the proliferation of business with debit machines like Harris Tee- ter, Burger King and the like. People deposit paychecks into their accounts and use the ATM card like they would a credit card. It is simpler and much more convenient It's about consum- ers' changing needs and our effort to keep up with them Powell is also working with ECU to get a new machine in another area of campus - probably on College Hill near Todd Dining Hall.

So when we're buying that book back for $10 from you, we're selling it for $12 Edward said. The publishing companies can work against the bookstores, hecause they want to sell more new hooks: stores selling used books bite into their business Where UBE and Student Stores can be similar, they can also be very different, trying to capture students' differing interests in friendly compe- tition. UBE has chosen to capitalize on a large Creek clientele, offering a wide range of organizational glasses, cups, pitchers and wooden wall deco- rations to name a few. An imprint- ing service is also available where organizations can get their letters placed on clothing and apparel in the patterns and colors of their choice. Student Stores has experi- mented with higher concentration in the Creek market in the past two years, according to Genera) Merchan- dising Manager Steve Jepson. Supposedly, i only recognize fraternities and sororities that the FC recognizes Jepson said. Jepson said ECU has a large number of fraternities and sororities for a university of this size. Student Stores acting manager Wanda Scarborough said UBE has some advantages over her store.

Student Stores can only advertise on campus and can only sell apparel that has something related to ECU imprinted on it. They couldn't sell women's hosiery, tor example. The Umstead Act also limits the Student stores clientele. "We can only sell to faculty, stall, students or someone who's on cam- pus for any other reason besides pur- chasing from the store Scarborough said. 'The Student Store is self sup- porting. We pay all of our own sala- ries, our own overhead All of the Student Stores prof- its go into student scholarship funds and other campus organizations such as women's non-revenue sports. Many students may not know- about the small medical book store located in the Brody Building that helps serve the needs of those stu- dents in health care. Student Stores also has a large selection of com- puter related hard and software. "Layton Getsinger of business affairs is my boss Scarborough said. � She said that while she has been with Student Stores for 25 years, that it has been here at least 50. UBE has been in Greenville since 1967, and was started by Edwards' father, an ex-faculty mem- ber of ECU. UBE is not part of any franchise or chain. "We can get into things beyond the realm of what the university bookstore traditionally does Edwards said. He does not deny that there are differing advantages and disadvan- tages for both stores. Location is one great advantage for the Student Stores. Thousands of students walk in front of their store every day between classes or hang out and socialize. Students can kill time between classes or after lunch by just browsing over the lat- est sportswear designs, or flipping through the hottest bestseller in the Student Stores fiction and non-fic- tion book selection among their in- spirational and self-help collections. If parking near the Student Stores is a problem, then students can drive downtown to UBE, where you can find a large greeting card selection along with a wide variety of prints and posters. They also have an art supply wing and a cus- tom framing shop. Both managements strive for good relations between the two stores. Whatever your need, there is enough friendly competition be- tween UBE and Student Stores to keep prices competitive and prod- ucts varied. Likewise, there are enough students and differing tastes to keep both businesses thriving.

Remember that Halloween is a privilege that can easily be taken away. Tis the season to be crazy. Crazy? Yes, some people think Halloween night is the ultimate excuse to act like lunatics. But rather than using Halloween as a justifica- tion to dress up like someone, or something, else, get unusally drunk and further tarnish the image of the university, let's strive to have a mature - yet .un Hal- loween. Halloween celebrations in Greenville have long been a tradition. Students from surrounding campuses have gathered in the Emerald City for its festivities. It may be the costume contests, Chico's slime green margueritas or seeing hundreds of police forging in a single block, but something drives people to Greenville every year on Oct. 31. Those of you who have been around for longer than the proverbial five years, may remember Halloween of '89 and '90. Those were the years the tradition was swiped from the students and residents of Greenville. Bars and restaurants were forced to close their doors, losing out of one of the year's biggest business nights. Many of us at TEC remember having our Ids checked to enter our residence halls. What's worse, we weren't allowed to return to our rooms after a certain time. Oth- ers remember how the usually vivacious downtown scene seemed to resemble a ghost town. Students holding parties in their own homes were arrested an accused of "gathering in groups of larger than six people These same students spent class time in court defending themselves for getting together witK friends in their own apartments and houses. Halloween is a great excuse for Greenville establish- ments to change their usual customs and offer one night of goulish tricks and treats, but when their patrons take advantage of the holiday, everyone loses out. Each year, city officials meet to discuss how to handle Halloween, where the weak spots are, where more po- lice should be stationed and how to control an unruly crowd. Some students may have noticed the strategic timing of Fall Break. In this year's case, students weren't debating whether to head downtown in their Halloween garb on Saturday night. Instead, most of us spent the weekend at our parents' home - far away from down- town. If it's that easy to get us out of town the weekend before Halloween, it wouldn't be too difficult to termi- nate all Halloween celebrations. Let's not give the Greenville city officials any reason to hinder our future good times. Somebody's got to apologize This whole blackwhite thing has gotten our country into a tizzy. The gap is so wide that we have gone from whites talking separation and blacks talking integration now to whites talk- ing integration and blacks talking separation. But that is not the point of this article. The point is that resti- tution should be iade. If I could speak for all whites (and mind you I cannot, even though I would like to) this is something of what I would like to say the African- American community. It may not be eloquent and it may not be the feel- ings of everyone, but 1 believe it is where we need to start and where we should have started after the whole slavery issue was settled over a hun- dred years ago. An Open Letter from Whites to African-Americans: We have been very wrong in the way we have treated you in the past (both distant past and not so distant past) and we would like to ask you to please forgive us. We apologize and humbly ask your kind forgiveness for the way our race has historically treated your race. In no way can we ever make up for the wrongs our an- cestors perpetrated on your ancestors. It was not one of the most hideous mistakes of history, but one of the vilist atrocities ever openly practiced by man against man. The very nature of it today disgust us and yet it was openly practiced and perpetuated throughout the early' days of our na- tion. For this we have no excuse and we can offer no effective remedy. All wa cm do is humbly ask for your for- Shane Deike Opinion i , V ;�� n many ways wotftdfrtce to make it up to you, but our crimes are beyond our ability to repay. giveness. If you can, please forgive us for our attitudes once slavery was demol- ished. Our nation was, and in many ways continues to be. racist We are wrong and even as we acknowledge our wrongs, attitudes still prevail. Old habits are hard to break, but we do not offer this an excuse but rather as an incentive to work hard at demol- ishing the ideas of fools in our race who perpetuate these backward and idiotic concepts. Those thoughts, actions and at- titudes were wrong then and they are wrong now. Forgive us for treating your ancestors as less than posses- sions. Forgive us for perpetuating this notion even beyond the bounds of sla- very. In many ways I would like to make it up to you, but our crimes are beyond our ability to repay. There is no medicine to heal the wound other than forgiveness. We must ask to be forgiven because our crime is beyond restitution. Unless you forgive, we re- main under the yoke of your bitter- ness as a race and as a nation. There is no court big enough and no pun- ishment great enough to make up for our atrocities and our foolishness. Our hopes and dreams are for all of us to participate with each other on an open, level playing field. These are still hopes and dreams. Even some of the remedies of our white domi- nated government have done you dis- services. Welfare has helped increase many (whites and blacks) dependence upon the government and help to fos- ter illegitimacy. Our solutions, though initially noble in thought and action, have proven to be less than effective and in many cases even hazardous. Can you forgive us? It will take more of you to forgive than anything we can ever hope to offer in return. No one can blame you if you do not forgive, but forgiveness has to come or bitterness between us will perpetu- ate itself. We apologize and repent, but can offer no real means to pay. Will you still forgive? It is more than we deserve, but is the best we can hope for. White America: Again, I cannot speak for every white. I hope this has helped to shed some insight into the cross- roads we are at as a nation and as a unified people. Unity is impossible without forgiveness - unfortunately we have little to ask forgivenes of and much to be forgiven for. It is not a solution but a dam good place to start. &&&.

I saw it ail! I saw all of the love. I saw all of the excite- ment. I saw the joy. I saw all of the anticipation of a new day to come. Never had "I seen so much of these things in one place that were felt by so many people. I speak of course of the festive Million Man March. No matter how much one likes the idea, no matter what one speaks about its leaders, it's goals or its place in his- tory, every one there knows their cause for being there and every one came away from the march with something important take to the community. For anyone who saw this experience on TV. the captivation was magnified an unimaginable amount by just being there. This is not a message of hate, of anger or of bitterness. This is a mes- sage of confusion and frustration. By the same token, this is not a mes- sage of validation or of asking for le- gitimacy. My experience of the beau- tiful event is somewhat dampened whenever I hear one speak of their skepticism of the rally. One will say "well, beauty is in the eye of the be- Mitch Butler Guest Columnist My experience is somewhat dampened whenever I hear one speak of their skepticism. holder" and I agree wholeheartedly. The problem is that many people were not there to behold this event Many who were there such as critics and journalists did not even "behold" (for lack of better terms) the event I have heard several times, "it is great if they will do something about the day after And to paraphrase the friendly Rush Limbaugh; so what if they all have one good day - how marry of us have had one good day then a bad one and so on and so on? The problem with these opinions is that the goals of this march are to do exactly as the skeptics say will not happen. They will carry over not just to the next day, but for years to come. It feels as if no matter what blacks decide to do as part of a community, it is scrutinized and criticized. The reaction to my trip has been nothing but positive I must say. I am a student at the school of music and 1 have received nothing but love, in- terest and support. That lets me know that if we listen not the politi- cal "experts not to the news media's opinions, and not to the people who have "heard" or thought they have "heard" the facts on TV, then we will be able to gain an understanding about one another. If anyone has any question about the march, the speak- ers, the mood or my opinions, feel free to ask for me by name I spend most of my day in the music build- ing and my telephone number is 551- 3143.1 have learned just through this weekend that I can discuss this with love and understanding for all. Give the black man a chance One of the most intriguing things about this year's up and coming presi- dential race is the role minorities will play and how the media will portray the role minorities play. For years the typical African-American candidate? have been more on the liberal side of the coin and have gathered rather prominent fallowings from a press that was in their favor. Even Colin Powell (although not a liberal but far to the left of what the Republican Party seeks) has gathered considerable sup- port and paparazzi frenzy from the left minded media. Of course all of this done not as right or left but in the name of minority interest Well if minority interest is the concern, what about Alan Keyes. Most people have never heard of Keyes, but he is on the forefront of conservative thought and a well-qualified candidate for president and black. He espouses the same views as Dole. Gingrich and other conservative political heavy weights but brings with it the added flare of black man speaking to the is- sues facing his own race. Keyes declared his bid for the presidency in New Hampshire and since then almost nothing has hap- pened. This former ambassador and highest ranking minority member of the state department has made little headway and has gotten even less at- tention from the media.

He is pro-life, anti-welfare and against the current form of affirmative action (racial quo- tas). He supports measures that would bring incentives to marriage and help destroy illegitimacy. He does not sup- port Planned Parenthood's method of sex education rather he promotes personal responsibility and conse- quences for one's own actions. He is for fewer taxes and more personal responsibility. His message is rooted in his own strong convictions and his own personal integrity. He is not a just black candidate, but a candidate who speaks to the needs of all of us across anv racial lines. But not everyone likes his mes- sage. He is a strong black voice in what is assumed to be a white domi- nated conversation. Give Keyes his due. He has some great answers to some tough problems and yet most voters (white and especially black) are not given the chance to hear him be- cause of decisions made by a media that has preconceived notions of what a black candidate should be. On an even playing field Keyes will hold his own. But of course Keyes does not want any affirmative action for his candidacy, just a little recognition of his existence. I heard of him via a friend who happened to watch a speech he gave in New Hampshire. Since then, basically nothing in the mainstream media. More and more it appears that the media is not for mi- norities near as much as they are for a liberal political agenda. An agenda which Keyes (and many others) be- lieve is keeping minorities out of the race for equality. Between blasting Clarence Thomas, loving Jocelyn El- ders and pampering Jessie Jackson it is clear that issue with the media is not black or white, but conservative or liberal. In a land where the media screams for open doors for any race, they have shut the door on a black man whose ideas do not fit with the way they think that race should think.

To most Hal- loween is just a nifty day when we let down the masks we wear in our everyday lives in favor of some silly rubber latex ones from Wal-Mart. We go out, dress goofy, beg for candy and treats, play absurd games (bobbing for apples comes to mind), and sometimes commit a bit of mischief. But how did this all start? What kind of traditions are steeped in Halloween lore? The Halloween we celebrated as kids is being pushed aside in favor of "Fall Festivals" or "Harvest Carnivals People seem to be afraid of the word "Halloween" and the implications this holiday has lurking within its history. Perhaps now, on this very day, it is time to shake the skeletons out of Halloween's closet and see what sto- ries are fact and which are fiction. "Hal- loween is a holiday based on a pagan ritual This is a fact - sort of. Hal- loween is mainly thought to be derived from the Celtic har- vest festival of Samhain. Samhain was believed to be the time between the ending and beginning of the New Year, or "Winter's Eve" (because winter was officially upon us). Since it was a split between the old and new years, the Celts believed that Samhain was a sort of crack in time, enabling spirits of the dead to cruise the earth once more, both the bad ones and good. In the seventh century, however. Pope Boniface IV decided to adapt this holi- day into a celebration of all of the known and unknown saints and mar- tyrs. The Christians split the festivities up into two days, All Saint's Day (or All-Hallows'Hallowed Day) and All Soul's Day. Since, according to the Celts, these Spirits were roaming any- way, the Christians praised and feasted withfor the good ones on All Saint's Day, and prayed for the souls of the bad ones on All Soul's Day. Later on, the newly-formed Church of England abolished All Soul's Day, leaving All- Hallow's, soon to become Halloween, as a Protestant holiday. "Our Founding Fathers forbade the celebration of Halloween This is true. Since our country was founded on religious principles that broke from the Church of England, the Puritans forbade Halloween to be celebrated. When the US began to allow other re- ligions to flourish, the practices of Halloween were picked up again, due See ROOTS page 8 Real-life horror lurks in Rule of the Bone Ronda Cranford Staff Writer If you've ever wondered what teenagers of today are thinking, then you might find Russell Bank s Rule of the Bone informative. Chappie, the main character, could be considered a gritty, mod- ern day version of Huck Finn. Like Huck, he spends some time miss- ing and presumed dead. He makes a journey with a black man. He is also surprisingly sensitive for such a hardened character. Chappie begins by stealing parts of his family's coin collection to pawn in order to buy marijuana. He uses the marijuana to treat his boredom and his sense of worth- lessness. He's got scummy friends and an obnoxious stepfather who has sexually abused him, so it seems like the thing to do. Chappie is 14 and not terribly interested in solving his problems; he just wants to forget about them as much as possible. When Chappie's parents dis- cover the missing coins, he gets thrown out of the house and his days as a passive participant in his life are over. He crashes for a while in the apartment of a friend who lives with several members of a biker gang. To support himself, he sells weed. It doesn't take long for this situation to get out of control, too - Chappie finds himself having to make decisions for himself and by himself in order to stay alive. This is prob- ably the best thing for him. Being thrown out of the nest forces him to grow up in a way that living in the shadow of his dys- functional parents would never allow. Chappie has to raise himself. He also gives himself another name: Bone. We see how empathetic and morally conscious Bone can be when he spots a fat old man drag- ging around a ragged little girl at the mall. Bone feels sorry for the little girl and wonders if he should try to hit it off with the old man in order to take her place. Things don't quite work out that way, but later on Bone does rescue the girl, named Froggy, and takes her to live in an abandoned school bus with a saintly rastafarian named I-man. Eventually Bone comes to face the fact that he and I-man can't par- ent r roggy, and manages to contact her mother. It's pretty clear that the woman � sold her daughter for drug money and isn't fit to parent either, but Bone doesn't know what else to do. This facet of the book points out a major mes- sage: parents are supposed to be the ones cuil- dren count on so that they can grow up healthy, but too often these days biological parents are the last people children should be in the care of. The system is break- ing down. What kind of parents will these parentless children be? I-man and Bone wind up in Ja- maica, where Bone manages to find his real father, a man who is color- ful but not exactly a role model. It's See BONE page 8 Chappie, the main character, could be considered a gritty, modern day version of Huck Finn.

Within a span of 10 years, America was witness to such horrors as defeat in Vietnam, John Travolta's singing career and John Carpenter's now-classic film Halloween. Following in the footsteps of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Halloween carried psycho- logical horror to a new level and set the standards which many horror films would copy but few would equal. Halloween has now been reis- sued at an affordable price just in time for the witching season. Since Hallow- een 6. the latest sequel, has mysteri- ously disappeared from Greenville theaters, and since that film probably wasn't worth the price of a pumpkin, I decided to turn back the clocks and focus my energies on Carpenter's original baby. Set in a typical suburban com- munity on Halloween, the film's plot is simple enough. Michael Myers, a madman institutionalized for murder- ing his sister when he was a young child, escapes his asylum. Donald Pleasance plays a psychiatrist who has given up on helping Michael and now only wants him stopped. Since Pleas- ance believes he understands Bucket "A 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 CD. Reviews Jay Myers Staff Writer Sheer Terror Love Songs for the Unloved Sheer Terror is just that. This record will frighten you. Not because it's scary, though. Mostly this record will frighten you because it's bad, real bad. It's easy to see why these guys are Unloved, their music is just plain miserable. Sheer Terror is a New York punk outfit consisting of lead vocalist The Rev. Paul Bearer, bassist Mike Walter, guitarist Mark Neuman, and drum- mer Pat Cronin. While Walter, Neuman, and Cronin are apt at lay- ing down a hardcore punk sound, they make no impact beyond the norm. In fact, their sound is so re- petitive from track to track that it becomes boring. The real shame of this band is Bearer, however - lousy, lousy, lousy. It doesn't even matter that he can't sing (you don't really need to in a punk band), but he can't even scream well. Even though the band has some funny song titles and a few interest- ing lyrics, Bearer mangles them. He is so incomprehensible that he sounds like Sylvester Stallone trying to speak in a foreign accent with a mouth full of marbles. I kid you not. It's not hard to see how Sheer Terror could have garnered a follow- ing, though. There are two songs on the album that could make a decent seven-inch. "For Rudy the Kraut" ex- tols the virtues of a musical drunk who is often the life of the party, but also reminds us that there is pain hid- den behind the liquor. "Be Still, My Heart (You're Killing Me)" shows a man scared of commitment who would rather kill the woman he loves and possess her always, than to give in to the feelings in his heart. These songs are definitely the high points of the album, and they're good enough to get the band some attention, but a full-length album is too much for Sheer Terror's limited abilities. They should have stuck with the seven-inch format that is the stan- dard of punk bands. It would have saved them some ridicule. Punk can be evil and nasty and irreverent, and that's okay because that's what punk is. But when punk is abused and misused, as it is here, then it just becomes annoying. In "Not Waving, Drowning" Bearer says, "I want you to take this the wrong way I'm not here for you, but for mel took this misadventure to see what I could doAnd no one rides for free I couldn't agree more. On the misadventure that is Love Songs for the Unloved, Bearer is defi- nitely not here for anyone else but himself. Sheer Terror is a one-note act that's lucky to have made the big time. However, if you're not good enough to earn that recording contract which so many good bands deserve, then it sounds like a free ride to me. Hope- fully, this will be a short ride.

Answers in Thursday's issue Michael's method of madness, he goes to Michael's hometown to hunt him down. Enter a nerdy, teenage Jamie Lee Curtis. While her friends plan for a night of decadence, Curtis plans for a quiet evening of baby-sitting. However, Curtis keeps seeing some strange fig- ure in town. She is suspicious. Her friends, unfortunately, are clueless. The audience knows these kids are dog food the minute they first appear on screen. They're a buffet of death that Michael gets to feast on. Once the mood of the film is es- tablished, the story focuses on one murder after another and ultimately leads to a confrontation between Michael, Curtis and Pleasance. But one of the many things that makes Carpenter's horror flick stand out from the rest of trie crowd is the grisly nature of the murders. While films like Friday the 13th just try to create bi- zarre ways for someone to die, Hal- loween sticks to basics. Strangulation and knives work best for Michael. As a symbol of evil, Michael is much more interesting than a Jason or Freddy. Although Michael never talks, Carpenter provides several subtleties within his murdering child that make Michael more than just a mindless maniac. One of the film's most memorable scenes involves Michael impaling a man onto a wall .ith a knife. As the lifeless corpse hangs limply in midair, Michael stands See HALLOWEEN page 8 $uper-Ofe$eire Ah, Halloween. As a child, it was my favorite holiday. I can still remem- ber all the scurrying about in prepara- tion for the day. I was a real handful, nagging my mom to take me to the store so I could pick out the perfect costume, the one that would assure that Satan would choose me over all the other kids in the neighborhood. I remember my dad's heavy brown robes, the ones he only wore for the yearly druidic rites. Mom and Granny would hop on their brooms and fly around the pumpkin patches to tease the dark lord into turgid life My brother would cruise in his high school hot rod and pick up virgins for the rituals. And I had the most important job: trick-or-treating. I would wander the streets, terrifying Christian kids and opening their souls to the devil. "More dupes for Satan I would shout, child- ish glee lifting my voice high in the dark night Then, at midnight we would join with all the other evil folk of the town for the big Satanic blood orgy. We may have pretended to be Methodists for most the year, but on Halloween we let our pagan heritage show. At least that's what some conser- vative religious leaders would have us believe. Many church groups are striv- ing to ban Halloween celebrations in the name of God Halloween, they say, is a pagan holiday that celebrates evil. Anyone who celebrates Halloween, then, is worshipping the devil But that's not how I remember Halloween at all I remember going out trick-or-treating and eating tons of candy. I remember spending my night out terrified that my brother and his teenage friends might cross my path and pummel me with eggs. The way I remember it Hallow- een wasn't about evil at alL It was about pretending to be evil, maybe, but real evil never entered the equation. No, Halloween was about candy and pranks. It was about being as weird as I wanted for one day out of the year. It was about being allowed to stay up all night watching horror movies on TV because it was my favorite holiday. Yes, Halloween celebrates all that is dark and wicked in mankind. It's a holiday for autumn, when the world is dying in preparation for winter. But whatever evil there is in Halloween is all in good fun. We all have a dark side, and Hal- loween is the one day out of the year when we're allowed to acknowledge it We don't hurt anybody doing it we're not truly being eviL But it's still a re- lease, a safety valve that keeps us from being really evil in our everyday life. But if we're going to ban Hallow- een because it was originally a pagan holiday, we might as well ban Christ- mas and Easter, too. After all, we don't actually know the exact dates of Jesus Christ's birth and death. But there were convenient pagan holidays in Decem- ber and April, so Christianity decided to coopt them. It was a lot easier to get people to convert if they could still have their end of the year orgy-feast Actually, a lot of church groups are doing something that I personally find a lot more reprehensible than any mock-evil secular Halloween atrocity. Many fundamentalist churches are sponsoring "Haunted Houses" that put real-life horrors on display. In a normal haunted house (you know, the kind the Jaycees put on), you're confronted with axe-wielding maniacs, vampires and other assorted ghoulies that scare you, then give you a good laugh later. In these church sponsored places, how- ever, you see gay men dying of AIDS, teenagers overdosing on drugs and women undergoing abortions. That's not entertaining or educa- tional, that's sick! I realize these scenes are supposed to scare people straight but that's just going too far. Ultimately, these people need to lighten up. Vampires and axe murder- ers are no threat to Christianity, or America's moral fiber. Just like the Fourth of July, Halloween is a secular holiday. It has been for a long time now. Outside of Wicca (the nationally-recog- nized "witch" religion), nobody does much worshipping of anything on Oct 31. Unless, of course, it falls on a Sun- day. y ? -jWHiTgfriin ti The East Carolinian Tuesday, October 31, 1995 BjErrrrEHEMBAT Halloween goes under fire The average American spends 69 years, 11 months indoors and only 5 years outdoors. -NIRSA Natural High Newsletter Tkb messogt has tee. bongfc to you by Recreational Services and Housing Services. �NATURAL I BECREftTJONAL Student Special $35 Unlimited Tanning or Club Membership from now until 1215795 Champions SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Nine- year-old ghosts won't be haunting the halls of Los Altos schools this Hal- loween, and that has parents fright- ened that political correctness has gone too far. Halloween parades and symbols - including paper witches pasted to windows � have been banned in the schools because of objections by Christian fundamentalists who com- plain the holiday celebrates the devil. "What's next - banning Christ- mas?" said one exasperated parent. Patrick Ferrell. That's been done already, along tendent Marge Gratiot said. "We haven't for years celebrated any of the religious holidays she said. School Board President Phil Faillace, who wrote the new policy, isn't backing down despite parent protests.

He writes a bit like Quentin Tarantino, but without the violence. Smith's characters engage in mindless drivel for minutes on end then spout off some intellec- tual, eloquent phrase before drop- ping again to meaningless banter. Smith's characters are slackers in every sense of the word. With little else to do besides play Sega. Brodie (Jason Lee. in a flat-out hi- larious debuti spends the better part of his days at the local mall. He claims it as his own as he and his friend T.S. (Jerome London) roam around one day after being dumped by their respective girl- friends. Brodie loves comic books and comic book jokes keep floating in from every direction. A cameo by Stan Lee, founder of Marvel Com- ics (Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, X- Mep), adds to the comic book theme. Lee obviously has Smith's admiration because the few scenes in which Lee appears give him an aura of immortality. Even the open- ing credits have comic book cari- catures as the star's names appear. Smith adds a collection of quirky characters to populate the mall. He also uses a few running gags that work well throughout the film without becoming tedious. One mallrat stares at a 3-D picture of a sailboat all day because he just can- not seem to see the image. Jay (Ja- son Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) repeatedly try to sabotage a game show being set up in the mall but continuously fail. The funniest running gag has Silent Bob trying to use the Jedi Mind trick to move a cigarette in his hand. Kevin Smith admires George Lucas as much as Stan Lee; in Clerks, a lengthy discussion oc- curs about whether The Empire Strikes Back was better than Re- turn of the Jedi. Near the end of Mallrats. Silent Bob finds a video tape just out of his reach and com- mands his Jedi powers to help re- trieve it. The sophomoric humor in Mallrats sometimes borders on be- ing excessive, much like in Dumb and Dumber, but. as in the latter film, the director manages to walk the line without crossing it. Brodie gives an adult a stinky palm at one point (a palm he has used to wipe his bottom). Another on-the-edge gag has Brodie and T.S. going to a topless psychic. Shannen Doherty has a small role as Rene, Brodie's ex-girlfriend. Someone runs into her in the mall and calls her Brenda, which incites strong language from Rene. Kevin Smith gave himself the best of the smaller roles. Much like Harpo Marx, the silent Marx brother, Smith does more with facial expres- sions to make the audience laugh than most actors can do with a page of dialogue. Smith is a first-rate clown. Mallrats does not generate any deep philosophical discussions but it does bring up quandaries like whether Lois Lane could have Superman's baby and whether The Thing (of the Fantastic Four) has ALL his organs made of rock. For sheer entertainment value, one would have to look pretty hard to find 90 minutes of more fun. Mallrats will hopefully come to Greenville sometime, but if not keep it in mind when it arrives on video. And in the meantime run 01 I and see Clerks. The star of that film, Brian O'Halloran, even has a small role in Mallrats. On a scale of one to ten, Mallrats rates an eight.

This silent scene creates a killer who actually seems to ponder his ac- tions. But the murders continue. Carpenter is a visual master, and Halloween is his masterpiece. He and cinematographer Dean Cundy use light and shadows to their full effect by placing Michael's deathly white mask against the blackness of the night. The film's eerie nature does not simply rely on the "jump out and scare you technique. Instead, Carpenter creates horror by incorporating the horror within the everyday. A fun game to play while watch- ing this movie is trying to spot Michael within certain scenes. A shot featur- ing the killer standing in the middle of some hanging laundry is one of my personal favorite moments in horror film history. Much of the horror in Halloween is mood. While the audience is wit- ness to ghastly murders, Carpenter's genius lies not in how he can gross you out but by how he can pinch at your nerves. The theme music, writ- ten by Carpenter himself, perfectly exemplifies this idea. Carpenter's music feels like tiny needles relent- lessly jabbing into your skin, and it perfectly matches the discomfort re- layed through the film. Since Halloween was released in 1978, countless films have butchered the "slasher film" concept of horror which Carpenter perfectly molded. Even the sequels to Halloween have failed to capture the feel of the origi- nal. A generation who grew up watch- ing Freddy and Jason hack through Hollywood may not appreciate Carpenter's independent wonder. Still, those of us who saw the 70s through the innocent lenses of child- hood will always be nostalgic for this classic tale of the Bogeyman return- ing home during the season of the witch. On a scale of one to 10, Hal- loween rates a solid, horrifying 10. To the Mighty Zombie Army of Lifestyle: HAPPY 1M0WUN, MY SHAMBLING POTS!

The Irish brought with them some of the more familiar symbols of Halloween, like the Jack o' Lantern. The Jack o' Lantern was traditionally used for two purposes: to guide the way of visiting souls of loved ones to their families and to scare away mischievous or evil spirits. "Halloween is a time when sadists prey exclusively on children by taint- ing candy with drugs, poisons, or razorblades Believe it or not. this is false. This urban legend became big in the early '70s, when such prestigious periodicals us Newsweek and The New York Times warned that such Hallow- een monsters were out there. In 1985, two doctors at California State Univer- sity found that the nation's major news- papers reported only 75 or so such cases between 1959-1984. Of those, most were faked. Minor injuries resulted from 20 cases, and two others resulted in death. Those deaths were one child who ingested heroin- laced candy at an uncle's house and another who was murdered by his fa- ther, who had hoped to lay the blame on this tradition of the "bogeyman" sadist "Halloween is also known as Devil's Night, when whackos misguid- edly take up the Celtic tradition of burning bonfires and use it as an ex- cuse to commit mass arson Yes, the movie "The Crow" didn't lie to you. This, sadly, is a fact Major cities such as Detroit and Chicago have to go through this hell every' year, some years worse than others. "Halloween is a time of mysticism and magic Well, if you believe in the stuff, sure. Remember that crack in time I mentioned before? Well, that phenom- enon is also said to allow ordinary people to exercise the magic potential within them. Psychics and fortune tell- ers are said to be at the height of their powers. Dreams are more vivid. Women are said to be able to magi- cally divine, through a staggering assort- ment of Halloween traditions, who they will marry. .An traditional Irish custom was to have the women sit at the hearth, playing such divining games, while the men dressed in suits of white straw and caroused drunkenly with the spirits of the dead. These eligible bachelors would enter the women's kitchens (if a father denied them access, he would be "tricked"), demand a dance, fake hav- ing sex, and steal a bunch of food be- fore heading off to the next house. Anyway, the main point is this: Halloween, just like most holidays, is what you make of it So go out and let the everyday masks slide a bit Dance with the spirits of the dead. Woo the opposite sex. But do it safely. Most Hal- loween folk traditions say that wearing red somewhere on your person is an excellent talisman against evil spirits, so you might want to do that If you dare. UUWjfci from page 7 a relief to see that Bone recog- nizes this and continues to follow I-man, who if nothing else is good and honest in his own fashion. I- man initiates Bone into manhood. Rule of the Bone is at times hard to read. Part of this is because it's told from the point of view of a 14 year old who thinks in couima- free run-on sentences. On the other hand, this makes the character more believable. The pain and sus- pense within the story also make it hard to read: at the same time the book is almost impossible to put down. The plot relies on too many convenient coincidences to be be- lievable all the time, but the story is so good it doesn't matter. Bone goes through many shocking and painful experiences: the only thing that gives you the motivation to keep reading through all the ugliness is the hope that he has enough strength and goodness in him to remain a sympathetic character and perhaps even turn out all right. Despite some close calls, usually when he has access to a gun. he comes through. Rule of the Bone gives a close look at what is going on-with kids in our society today and has zero dull moments. It's a consciousness raising as well as soundly entertain- ing read. FREE PREGNANCY TEST While you wait Free & Confidential Services & Counseling Carolina Pregnancy Center 209 B S.

After missing two field goals and an extra point against Southern Miss, the junior kicker nailed a 29-yard field goal with one second left to give ECU a thrilling 36-34 victory over the Golden Eagles in Hattiesburg. The Southern Miss Homecoming crowd saw their team fight back to take the lead with :57 seconds left, when quarterback Heath Graham hooked up with Donald Cunnigham in the corner of the end zone to make the score 34-33. This is where Pirate fans' hearts started beating a little faster. With ECU starting at their own 21 yard line, quarterback Marcus Crandell ran for 11 yards to give the Pirates a first down at the ECU 32. After two straight incomplete passes, Crandell, facing a third-and-10 situation, scam- pered out of the pocket for another 11-yard gain and ECU had another first down at their own 43. Crandell then found Jason Nichols for an 11- yard pass-and-catch, and ECU found itself at the Golden Eagle 46 with under 30 seconds remaining in the game. Once again Crandell hooked up with Nichols, this time for a 19 yard pickup, and the Pirates were in busi- ness at the Southern Miss 27 yard line. ECU then set up Holcomb for a 44-yard field goal to win the game. But Coach Steve Logan had other things in mind as he called the un- thinkable, a fake. Holcomb did his best impersonation of Marcus Crandell as he took the ball and heaved it down field to a wide-open Scott Richards, who was mauled by Southern Miss defenders, and pass interference was called. Holcomb, now facing a 29-yard field goal, stepped up and drilled the game winner. " I missed two earlier and I came in with one second left and won it said Holcomb. "It feels good to come through. I'm just glad Marcus could bring us down the field and give me a chance to win it" ECU was no stranger to fakes in this game, as they successfully pulled off two fake punts earlier in the game. "I thought we had time to get two plays off said Logan. "It was not as risky as it looked. I instructed Chad to throw it deep or run the ball. I knew that the tight end would be open. The reason I called the fake was that they were in an 11-man blitz, and the Southern Miss kids just went to sleep Southern Miss Head Coach Jeff Bower said that this was just another typical ECU-Southern Miss game. See MISS page 12 Men's soccer team looking to find winning formula Craig Perrott Staff Writer The ECU men's soccer team's "close but no cigar" season con- tinued this weekend with two. heartbreaking losses. Last Friday, the Pirates trav- eled to Statesboro, Ga. to take on the Eagles of Georgia Southern. The Bucs lost in another c'ose one, falling 3-1. The gaie looked like it would be an offensive showcase as three goals were scored in the first 30 minutes of play. Georgia Southern started things off 6:35 into the game when Jason Russel scored from the top right corner of the box via a Denny Tucker cross pass. Tucker then got the call at the 24:18 mark when he received a double assist from Chris Skylar and Jeremy Simmons. Tucker hooted in the ball in from the top of the penalty box, giving the Eagles a two point cushion. The Pirates retaliated at the 27:05 mark when senior Marc Mullin sent a cross pass to feHow co-cap- tain Chris Padgett, who rifled the ball in from the top of the box. ECU went into the locker room trailing 2-1. GSU came out in the second half and shut down the Pirate of- fensive attack, holding the Bucs to three shots on goalie Kris Trainor. Georgia Southern had seven shots of their own. The Eagles put ECU away at the 80:44 mark when Skylar scored off of an assist from Tucker and Kevin Hanfman. The highlight of the day came in the form of 13 shots on goal for the Bucs. In action on Sunday, the Pirates traveled to Florida only to lose an overtime barn-burner to the Dolphins of Jacksonville University, 2-1. Pirate senior defender Eddie Stephens drew first blood for the Pi- rates at the 8:40 mark, booting in a cross pass from Padgett and Dusty Belk. The ball sailed past Dolphin goalie Chris Smith at the far post The Pirate defense held JU at bay until the 62:05 mark, when the Dolphins finally scored on ECU goalie Jay Davis. Papayaw Danso- Ampofo fired in a Stein Wiggo Jakobsen pass for the score, which would eventually send the game into two overtimes. With seven minutes left in the second overtime, Jacksonville's Tyler Jones sent a pass to Craig Wilson who placed the ball in the far left corner of the goal, just out of Jay Davis' reach. "We outplayed them, we outhustled them and it was our game to win ECU Head Coach Will Wiberg said. "We did every- thing but win The Pirates have one week to put it all together for the Colonial Athletic Association Champion- ships which will be held Nov. 9-12. ECU travels to Raleigh on Wednes- day to take on the Wolfpack of N.C. State. H-�4f �, SID-After battling to a score- less tie at halftime, Mount Saint Mary's pulled away from East Caro- lina to down the Pirates in lady's soccer action here Friday after- noon. The Mount broke through the ECU defense quickly after the break. MSU scored its first goal just three minutes into the second half when junior Jenny Shaw found midfielder Paula Koontz in front of the Pirate goal. The pass bounced off Koontz' chest and sophomore Jenny Klimes charged in and cleaned up with a shot that sneaked past ECU goalkeeper Joey Clark. Mount Saint Mary's quickly capitalized on the momentum swing and scored two more goals within 13 minutes. At the 50:18 minute mark, Christy Wicks found Klimes who sailed a shot over the head of Clark for her second goal of the night. Ten minutes later, Koontz scored on a double assist from Carol Dickenson and Heather Karap to lift the Mount to a 3-0 lead. The Pirates avoided the shut- out at the 63:43 minute mark when midfielder Becky Tiesler sent a pass from the right sideline to sopho- more Stephanie Dressel. The Wilmington, Del. native took Tiesler's pass and fired the ball past the MSU defender. However, the Pirates were unable to squeeze any- thing else out of the Mount defense and the final gun ended the game at 3-1. On Sunday the Lady Pirates ended its regular season against CAA foe Virginia Commonwealth dropping to 3-16 (0-7 in the CAA) here on Sunday, 2-0. The Lady Rams were paced by Jamila Ashford who scored the game opening goal with 23:34 on the clock.

If so, they saw one of the finest college football games this season between two of the most underrated college football programs in the nation. As everyone knows. ECU was snubbed by Conference USA last sea- son, and the new 12 league confer- ence does include Southern Missis- sippi, a team that is very similar to ECU. The similarities are astounding. ECU competes with two other so- called "bigger" schools in the state, North Carolina and North Carolina State, and Southern Miss is in battle with the University of Mississippi an4 Mississippi State. Hattiesburg and Greenville are both similar in size, and the campuses kind of look alike (they even have a Jones Hall). But the big difference is that Southern Miss has found a con- ference home and ECU has not So what's the problem? People in Hattiesburg are proud to be members of Conference USA. I had a chance to visit the student book- store on the Southern Miss campus, and as I walked in there was a huge Conference USA banner on the win- dow, and Conference USA shirts were everywhere in the store. 'M.M. Roberts Stadium is so proud of Conference USA, that they posted the logo in the middle of the 50-yard line. I think ECU fans would be just as receptive, but if Conference USA officials keep giving us the cold shoulder, then I believe it's going to come to a point where Pirate fans are going to start taking it as an insult (I think some of them have already). It seems to me that the only thing that is holding ECU from getting into Conference USA is the ignorance of some Conference USA officials to see that the Pirate program is on the rise, and that people around the nation are starting to respect ECU athletics. Liberty Bowl President Bob Mar- tin was in attendance at Saturday's game, and Martin, who has always favored ECU's admittance into Con- ference USA, said that Saturday's game did nothing but encourage that 'This game did nothing but en- hance East Carolina University's chance to be in Conference USA said Martin. "We've said all along that the conference needs to be big- ger and no other university can bring more to the table than East Carolina can. We're excited and we hope that East Carolina becomes a part of Con- ference USA Hopefully Mr. Slive and the presi- dents of the 12 Conference USA in- stitutions will embrace Mr. Martin's comments in the future. Volleyball teams scores two wins Dill Dillard Staff Writer Two fierce efforts paid off for the ECU volleyball team with a sound vic- tory after a bitter defeat. The first of the two conference matches found the Lady Pirates on the losing end, as they were defeated by the Tribe of William and Mary in four games (9-15, 5-15, 15-8, 15-12) on Friday night at Williams Arena. "It was a tough loss said Head Coach Kim Walker who saw her players turn in a solid match despite the loss. Included in the effort, was senior Tara Venn who led the Lady Pirates with 11 to- tal blocks while junior Carrie Brne turned in 13 kills in the losing effort This heartbreaker dropped the Lady Buc's record to 14-12 going into their next CAA match-up with the Lady Rams of Virginia Common- wealth. "You know what they say-we've got to get up and get back on that horse Walker added. Walker's troops did just that when the Lady Rams came rolling into Williams Arena the very next day on Saturday. It took the Lady Pirates under two hours to send the Lady Rams back to Richmond with a loss in straight games. Once again the more experi- enced players stepped up for ECU this time in a winning cause, as Brne stepped in with 18 kills along with senior Gwynn Baber who had seven blocks as well as nine kills of her own in the win. "We came out and hit the ball really well said Walker, "that was important to our success as a team The Lady Pirates came into the two matches with a .201 attack per- centage only to drop their percentage to .137 against William and Mary, but rebounded with a .319 performance against Virginia Commonwealth. The next task for Walker's 15-12 ECU volleyball team is not a very easy one. Tonight the Lady Spartans of UNC-Greensboro roll into Greenville for ECU's final home match of the sea- son starting at 7 p.m. at Williams Arena. "We were physically and mentally drained the last time we played UNCG Walker commented. This in-state Halloween duel will be a test for the Pirates who will be beginning a demanding road sched- ule starting with the Navy Invitational and finishing with the CAA Tourna- ment, Nov. 17-18. Runners compete in championships Erika Leigh Hamby Staff Writer The East Carolina cross country teams traveled to Williamsburg, Va. to compete in the CAA Champion- ships against the best teams from North Carolina, Virginia and Wash- ington, D.C. The Pirates came out with a fourth place finish out of nine in the women's competition, and a sixth place finish out of eight in the men's competition on Saturday. The course was hampered with rain before the competition, leaving the course wet and sloppy. The stretch of the race through the woods was particularly messy with wet mud. Both teams were led by pairs of newcomers. In the women's compe- tition freshmen Suzanne Bellamy not only won all conference honors with this race, but also posted her best time of the season with 18:09. That time landed her a fourth place fin- � ish. . "I really liked the course Bellamy said. "It rained the night be- fore, but the compe- tition was really good Kerri Hartling was another top fin- isher with a 16th �� place finish. Jeremy Coleman, a freshman for the men, posted the best time, 26:24, for the men's team with a 27th place run. � "I was pleased with my perfor- mance said Coleman. "We (the team) really turned some heads Jamie Mance, another strong male freshman, came in a little un- der 20 seconds behind Coleman to take 29th place. The other top fin- ishers for the Pirates were Karen Reinhard with a 23rd place run for the women and Paul Gorman with a 42nd place run for the men. Assistant Coach Charles Justice pointed out that the Lady Pirates had The guys ran a pretty good race � Assistant Coach Charles Justice beaten UNC-W in all of their meets this season, but the UNC-W women �-��. came out of this competi- tion with a sec- ond place win to beat the Lady Pirates. Justice had hoped for an improvement over last year when the Lady Pirates also came out with a fourth place overall finish. As for the men's team. Justice was pleased with their showing. Jus- tice said this is one of the better sea- sons the men have had in a while. "The guys ran a pretty good race said Justice. Runners for both teams seemed pleased with their performances and their overall standings for the sea- son. Both teams will advance to the NCAA District III competition to be held in Greenville, S.C in November. - -�yj ' �'i ������� �fciii I 12 Tuesday, October 31, 1995 The East Carolinian JM.D from page 11 sealing goal.

SID-The ECU men's tennis team participated in the University of South Carolina Region II Fall In- vitational over the weekend. The women's team played in the Nisbet Women's Intercollegiate Tourna- ment at Campbell University. Freshman Derek Slate played his way into the third round of the C singles, but lost to eventual run- ner-up Matt Czurchy by a 7-6, 6-4 score. Slate had dropped just two games in the two previous matches leading up to the third round. Sophomore Josh Campbell was ousted in straight sets in his fist match in the B-l singles draw, but came back to make it to the third round of the consolation bracket. Campbell lost to Aaron Strimba from the University of Virginia 6-1. 6-2. Fellow sophomore Kris Hutton was also a first round loser, but also played his way into the third round of consolations before losing to Vir- ginia Tech's Chirag Patel by a 6-3, 6-3 margin. The women's team spent their fall break in Buies Creek. N.C at the Nisbet Intercollegiate Tourna- ment. Senior Allison DeBastiani advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament before losing to second- seeded Siri Mittet form the College of Charleston, 6-3, 6-1. Pirate top-seed Anne-Birgette Svae advanced to the semifinals of the consolation round after defeat- ing fellow Pirates Catherine Morgan and DeBastiani. The doubles combination of Svae-DeBastiani and Rachel Cohen- Morgan advanced to the quarterfinals of the doubles draw. The men will play in the Clemson Invitational on Nov. 3-5 as they continue to prepare for the spring schedule.

"Both teams played hard the entire game, and it went down to the wire ECU got on the scoreboard first with 2:06 remaining in the first quarter when Marcus Crandell hooked up with Scott Richards to give the Pirates a 7-0 lead. Richards had an outstanding game, as he caught four passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns. "Scott has turned into a really good college tight end said Logan. "The game last year against South- ern Miss was where he came out of his shell so to speak, and he's been a good tight end ever since After a-Southern Miss field goal, the Pirates drove 80 yards in seven plays culminated by a 2-yard touchdown run to give ECU a 14-3 lead going into halftime. Crandell ran the ball well all night as he had 10 carries for 58 yards. Southern Miss scored early in the second half, after ECU failed to recover the opening kickoff, and the Golden Eagles got the ball at the ECU 15. The Golden Eagles' Chris Buckhalter ran it in for the score. The two point conversion was good and ECU's lead was cut to 14-11. ECU got in the end zone once again with 9:54 remaining in the third, as Crandell found Richard again for an 11-yard touchdown. Holcomb's extra point was blocked, and the Pirates led 20-11. Southern Miss would not go away when Buckhalter ran 23 yards for another Golden Eagle TD with 4:09 left in the third. The Pirates struck back- quickly when Crandell drilled a pass to Mitchell Galloway for a touchdown, and ECU took a 27-18 lead with 2:27 left in the third quar- ter. After a Southern Miss field goal that made the score 27-21. Emmanuel McDaniel picked off a Graham pass and ran it back 65 yards for the touchdown. ECU led 33-21. It was McDaniel's fifth straight game with an interception Heath Graham hit Adam Kennedy for a 5-yard touchdown strike with 9:30 left in the fourth quarter, to make the score 33-28. That led to the final heart pump- ing moments. ECU had an impressive day on offense as they accounted for 485 total yards. Crandell was 28-52 for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Jerris McPhail had 118 yards of to- tal offense, and Mitchell Galloway had his best performance of the sea- son as he caught nine balls for 106 yards and one touchdown. David Hart led the Pirate de- fense with eight tackles, and Emmanuel McDaniel accounted for six stops "We beat a first class football team said Logan. "They never quit.
