RALEIGH (AP) - North
Carolina sheriffs may need the
full 90 days a new state law gives
them to approve or reject appli-
cations for concealed-weapon
permits.
State officials warned Tues-
day that it could take up to two
months to complete required
background checks once sheriffs
start taking applications Friday,
the day the new law takes effect.
The main reason for the de-
lay is a backlog at the FBI fin-
gerprint lab, which is supposed
to screen for national criminal
records.
UVVHARRIE, N.C. (AP) -
More than 100 years have passed
since miners first descended into
the Tebe Saunders mine in what
is now the Uwharrie National For-
est and returned to the surface
with gold.
Now the same hope that
drove those miners under the
earth has prompted a new genera-
tion to take up their work.
Tom Morris and friends be-
lieve the mine, dug after the Civil
War, hasn't given up all its secrets.
If they're right, they would own
North Carolina's only gold mine
on federal land. The state has no
active commercial gold mines.
Around the Country
MIAMI (AP) - Nineteen
people have been charged with
importing and selling more than
7,700 pounds of Colombian co-
caine, sometimes smuggling it into
the United States in shipments of
frozen fish.
Police put the street value of
the cocaine at more than $61 mil-
lion.
NEW YORK (AP) - Rats with
a spinal cord injury recovered
some physical ability from a treat-
ment that helps damaged nerve
fibers regrow, scientists reported.
One expert called the result
a modest but significant step in
developing new treatments for hu-
man spinal cord injuries

Crime increases
across campus
Wendy Rountree
Assistant News Editor
The ECU police department has
seen an increase in a number of crimes
on campus this semester.
"This semester has been very ac-
tive said Teresa Croc .er, directorchief
of ECU police. "We have had a lot of
things going on on campus
So far statistics on criminal activ-
ity from August to October reveal
progress as well as setbacks for the de-
partment
"Our larcenies have gone down,
and that's the number one problem on
campus. They have gone down a good
percentage Crocker said. "The simple
assaults have gone down a good per-
centage
However, while the number of lar-
ceny and simple assault incidents have
gone down, other crimes like burglary,
aggravated assault possession of weap-
ons and disorderly conduct have in-
creased.
"Where we've seen the biggest in-
crease, obviously, is in vandalism, as well
as the drug arrests Crocker said. "Both
of those are up tremendously
The number of activities on cam-
pus and downtown are possible reasons
for the increase in crime, namely the
downtown weekend celebration last
September that ended with Greenville
police macing the crowds.
"At the beginning of the semes-
ter, we had all of the things going on
downtown like Thursday, Friday and
Saturday night which brought in a lot
of people Crocker said. "Some of those
numbers in vandalism are because you
had all those people, and a lot of those
cars in those parking lots (near the
downtown area) got damaged
Actualh, the majority of vandalism
cases this semester have been car re-
lated.
The other large crime increase on
campus has been alcohol andor drug
arrests.
Because of the increased activities
on campus, Crocker said more students
have been staying out late at night As
a result, students who have been drink-
ing or using drugs heavily and walking
around campus late at night have in-
creased their chances of being attacked,
which has increased criminal activity.
Also, many drug andor alcohol offend-
ers have been arrested, processed and
sent to the Greenville magistrate's of-
fice.
Crocker said every year is a new
challenge, because new students, who
have to learn university policies, are al-
ways entering the campus community.
"Each and every year we're bring-
ing in a new group of students Crocker
said. "The freshmen on this campus
come here from everywhere, and their
experiences may or may not be the same
as last year's students. There are a lot

News Editor
Four Garrett Hall residents were
arrested yesterday following an as-
sault that occurred on Nov. 16. ECU
Police said the students were ex-
pelled from school immediately.
"(The victim was taking a shower,
the lights went out and he was attacked
by males dressed in baggy clothes and
wearing Halloween masks said ECU
Police Officer Elizabeth McDaniel.
"One of them had a baseball bat"
The incident occurred on the first
floor of Garrett but all of the parties
involved lived on the second floor.
McDaniel responded to a call from
the victim and after an investigation,
police arrested Jason Smith of 24?
Garrett Hall from Charlotte, Phillip
O'Connel of 231 Garrett Hall from
Oak Ridge, Karl Mount of 242 Garrett
Hall from Summerset. NJ. and Ryan
Mason of 252 Garrett Hall from
Newburg Md.
"He didn't know who it was. he
took the mask off one of the guy's
head, but it was so dark he couldn't
see McDaniel said.
She questioned the four resi-
dents because they were accused of
communicating threats to the victim

The ECU student art sale has become an annual event,
and this year students from every division of the art depart-
ment will be offering original works just in time for the holi-
days.
The sale is scheduled to begin today at 8 a.m. and will
be held in the Gray Gallery of Jenkins Fine Arts Center.
Students will be able to browse and choose from a wide
selection of crafts until 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. Saturday's
sale hours are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Howey McAuley is the president of Craftsman East and
has participated in the annual art sale for several years. Ac-
cording to McAuley, the sale is an opportunity for art stu-
dents to present some of their best work while raising funds
to benefit the art department
"A lot of the money goes to the separate guilds in the
department" McAuley said, explaining that every division is
seen as a separate guild. "For example, there is a ceramics
guild, a pottery guild, and so on

Staff Writer
An ECU student and campus
employee was recognized and re-
ceived an award for his outstand-
ing dedication to campus resident
life and security.
On Friday. Nov. 17. Charles
Don. (DJ.), Gregory, Jr an ECU
telecommunicator of Team Dis-
patch, was presented the Excep-
tional Service Award for his ex-
cellent service and job perfor-
mances.
Gregory's nomination for the
award resulted from his volunteering
countless hours of involvement in the
Residence Hall Liaison Program and
Operation ID.
"The Residence Hall Liaison Pro-
gram involves the ECU
telecommunicator volunteers, assigned
to specific residence halls, to gear up
and greet students at the beginning of
the year, as they are moving in said
Annette Parker, telcommunicator su-
pervisor. "It also allows us to hand out
information packets and medical forms,
introduce educational programs of
safety and crime prevention and start
the Operation ID project Operation ID
uses students' driver license numbers
to engrave their property. It is a way
of preventing theft"
The award was presented at the
ECU Police Department, located on
10th Street at noon, by Police Chief
Teresa Crocker. The only outside offi-
cial present was Leslie A. Craigle, di-
rector of marketing for business ser-
vices.
"I am very impressed with your

word 'volunteer' is still alive and well
in your community said Michael Rich-

commendation ceremony. "The profes-
sionalism from your department is out-
standing. The citizens and students in
your area are lucky to have such dedi-

Spain. France. Australia, Canada, the
United Kingdom and points beyond.
"The majority of the responses we
have received from East Carolina stu-
dents who have participated in the pro-
gram have generally been positive
McGowen said.
McGowen also said that students
who come to ECU on exchange tend
to enjoy their experience as well.
"I have enjoyed my time here at
ECU said Ann Valta, an exchange stu-
dent from Finland. "I was shocked
when 1 first came here. It is a lot differ-
ent from Finland. 1 am used to it now
Valta said the exchange program
has given her the chance to meet a lot
of nice people. She also has been able
to travel the country. She admits the
United States is nice, but there are sev-
eral places she does not care to see
again.
Valta also feels classes are easier
at ECU. She says classes are a little
different than what she is used to be-
cause she does not get homework in
Finland.
Sophie Aumonier. an exchange
student from France, also finds classes
easier at ECU.
"My classes are interesting
Aumonier said. "There is more personal
work, but they are a bit less difficult
Aumonier has also gotten the
chance to travel. She has been to
Myrtle Beach, New York, Atlantic
Beach, Charleston and plans to spend
New Years with Mickey and friends at
Disney World.
"I have really enjoyed the people
at ECU Aumonier said. "They are re-
ally kind
Though Aumonier and Valta are
from two different countries, they share
many common ideas.
"1 like the weather both said af-
ter they were asked what their favor-
ite thing about Greenville was.

who are interested in broadening their
horizons to get involved in the ex-

Each student participating in the
sale must belong to a guild.
According to McAuley, the money
from 'he sale is used to fund trips and
pay for special visitors to the school of
art during the school year.
Jeanne Brady, a graduate student
in textiles, said the sale is more than
just a fund-raiser.
"The sale is a way for art students
to learn how to market (their goods
Brady said. "We have been having these
sales for quite a long time, and we've
had a lot of success. The sale is well
received by the public"
McAuley and Brady said students
shoud expect to see a wide range of art
works including jewelry, tapestries, ce-
lamics and greeting cards.
"The students produce very high
quality work said McAuley. "You can
expect to see some of the same things
at the sale that you can find in major
department stores. Our sale will just
have more reasonable prices
According to McAuley, each stu-
dent will price his or her own merchan-
dise, and price ranges vary from guild
to guild depending on the amount of
time spent on each item.
"An example of what you can find
at the sale McAuley said, "is the as-
sortment of silk ties that will be offered
by the textiles guild. Prices on the ties
range between $10 and $17

of things that change with each group
of students that come in. I don't know
if this group of students that we have
this year have brought in these elements
of vandalism to make the numbers
higher. I haven't looked into that, but
they are higher
The department uses programs on
such problems as stolen bikes, drug
problems, underaged drinking, DWIs
and stolen property to get information
to students before they get into trouble.
"We started out the year by going
to the dorms and doing operation ID
said Officer LaFrance Davis. "That was
when we engraved student ID numbers
and, driver's license numbers on prop-
erty which was over $100 in value, or
whatever the person (owned) that was
valuable and (possibly) stolen
Davis said that officers tried to reg-
ister as many bicycles as possible, and
had alcohol awareness programs. At
times, the department has done pro-
grams that show the entire process a
student would go through if caught
drinking and driving, and has even dis-
played drugs and shown how they are
used in a controlled environment
Crocker and Davis agreed that the
programs do help decrease potential
criminal offenses, but unfortunately,
they can also increase them. By train-
ing RAs what marijuana smells like,
they can report students to the police.
However, some students use the pro-
grams like the one on drunk driving
and the campus drinking policy to see
how far they can go before they would
be arrested, which increases the of-
fenses.
The department of about 35 of-
ficers is straining to keep up with the
increase in crime and is even finding it
difficulfto maintain security at events.
Lack of sufficient funding has been one
of the main obstacles.
More officers would increase se-
curity and safety not only in campus
parking lots but at football and bas-
ketball games and other crowd draw-
ing events as well. Crocker said that
as the university continues to grow and
the stadium expands, ECU is going to
have to hire more officers.
"We have an obligation to the
university to protect the property and
to protect the people and to provide
service Crocker said. "We need to be
able to do that and not have to over-
tax our staff, so are we looking forward
for this semester to end, yes

motive for the attack came from a false
rumor that the victim had informed
police about drug activity in Garrett
Two arrests were made early
Wednesday morning and the other two
were arrested by noon Wednesday. Po-
lice reported that all of the students
arrested yesterday had been released

She said police have been work-

in the investigation.
"We had several interviews with
several people involved McDaniel
said. "The victim has been moved to
another residence for safety reasons
She said the victim had been
kicked, punched and beaten with a min-
iature bat but refused transportation
for medical assistance, despite the
bruises and knots he received along
his shoulders and back.
The residents were charged with
assault with a deadly weapon. A court
date has been set for Dec. 20.

Our View
1
While we
were out
having fun,
the football
team and
coaches
were
sweating on
the practice
field. Let's
show them
how proud
we are to
call them our
Pirates and
march our
way to
Memphis.
Like Logan
said, it
doesn't
. matter if it's
sleeting
sideways ?
be there!
Here we bowl again
We probably don't need to remind you that the Pirates
were crushed in last year's bowl mismatch against the Univer-
sity of Illinois, but, now we're back!
Once again the team, coaches and fans of ECU will march
into the town of Memphis for the Liberty Bowl on Dec 30 this
year, following a winning season for the Pirates.
TEC's prediction Stanford will fall to the mighty Pirates.
ECU will win the Liberty Bowl and our school will wallow in
its victory. Stanford is better suited than Illinois to play the
Pirates and, with the help of our diehard fans, we believe ECU
will stomp all over Stanford's ivy league attitude. They key is
to believe.
Many students were disappointed with last year's outcome
and vowed to never make that 15-hour drive to Memphis again.
Don't give up. Rethink your position and pack your bags -
you won't be disappointed this time around. Besides, what
else were you going to do for New Year's, bang pots and pans
together outside of mom and dad's house?
Memphis has a ton of tourist attractions and even activi-
ties for those who like to stay away from crowds. You can visit
Graceland or any of the othe- activities our special tabloid
(complete with map) will offer when it's inserted into next
Thursday's paper. Our team needs you, and in some ways, you
need our team.
For those of you who plan to eventually graduate, ECU's
Liberty Bowl win could be the perfect conversation piece to
getting better acquainted with an attractive stranger, or it could
even land a job in the networked world. "Yeah, I remember it
like it was yesterday, we had all of Memphis covered in purple
and gold you'll say. That's what happened last year and we
need to do it again.
Showing spirit says a lot about our school - people will
remember us and the team thrives on it Because Stanford is
coming from California, the odds are better that ECU will pack
the stands at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, and Stanford
will wish they had never heard of East Carolina University.
Besides, this could be your last chance to see the Pirates
win a nationally televised game. "1 was there you'll say, and
the pride will ooze out of every pore of your being. But, before
we got off on too much of an ego trip, let's remember that the
nation judges our school through the Pirate's performance.
That puts quite a bit of pressure on the players who've en-
dured long hours of sweat and pain to get us where we are
now, but your support in the stands can only help their goal.
And to the players and coaches responsible for this great
season - we are proud to call you the East Carolina University
Pirates. While the rest of us were enjoying our summer, you
were training. It probably seems like years ago, not months,
when the summer sun beat down on the practice field. Each of
you picked yourselves up when you were down, and pulled the
mud out of your facemasks. You were hurt and practiced any-
way, you were tired, but stuck it out, you picked yourselves up
and carried on. Two-a-day practices, hitting drills, drills on the
fundamentals-over and over until you got it perfect Only to do
it again just because the coach said to.
This season you've really pushed yourselves and sacrificed,
both mentally and phy:ally. You went to bed early while the
rest of us didn't. You stayed in while the rest of us went out
You came home from practice tired and hurting but studied
for your classes anyway, even when you had something else on
your mind. You endured being a member of the Pirate football
team. In good times and bad, as winners and losers, you made
it through the rough times, the times when no one expected
you to come up victorious. But you did it You are already
winners; both as individuals and as a team.
Good luck to the Pirate football team in this year's Liberty
Bowl. WE BELIEVE you can complete your UNFINISHED
BUSINESS!

Where's my beef?
I d n't ask for very much in life.
Perhaps a little peace, harmony and
my money's worth, that's all. Yes, again,
I find establishments, fast food restau-
rants, here in Greenville that do not
give the consumer their money's
worth.
When I drive up to the drive-thru
and order a Double Quarter Pounder
with Cheese, I expect something big-
ger than a silver dollar. Unfortunately,
that is all I got when I visited
McDonald's. Now, does that seem like
I am getting my money's worth? This
is not the first time this has happened
to me.
It seems to me that when a re
taurant like McDonald's begins to cut
back their quality in product there is
no future for fastfood restaurants, or
is there? Though McD's may be one of
the, if not THE, largest fastfood chain
in the world, they need to improve their
quality.
However, my gripe does not end
with McD's. There are so many fastfood
chains here in the emerald city that
need to think more of their customer
satisfaction and less about how to
make a quick buck here or there i.e.
Wendy's. Yes good 'ol Wendy's, the
square burger that pours grease all
over you.
I hope that if you plan on buying
one of their burgers, that you do not

intend to keep your clothes clean for
very long With the first bite of that
nice juicy burger, out squirts grease
and ruins not only your nice neat
clothes, but your entire day. What ever
you do, do not try this in your car. You
will be cleaning upholstery for days,
trust me!
Well, if I can't go to McD's for lack
of beef, and I can't go to Wendy's for
overabundance of grease, then perhaps
I can go to Burger King Well, that's
what 1 thought at first, until
1 went through the drive thru, as
usual, hoping to get the Double
Cheeseburger value meal, i gave my
order to the box and stated, "Ketchup
only As I pull up, I ask if it was
ketchup only, I was assured that it was,
and so I drove off, foolish me. As 1,
opened the bag to enjoy my nice:
scrumptious Double Cheeseburger, I
was surprised to find a Whopper with
lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise - but no
ketchup. Where did 1 go wrong here? I
thought my order was pretty explicit;
There has to be some place here in
town where I actually get my money'sj
worth, right7 Well, I must sadly report,
that in not one instance did I find that t
actually got what I paid for. If it wasn't
too much grease here, it was too little
beef there, or "ot the right kind of
burger at all.
What does this tell us? Has cus-
tomer satisfaction gone down the drain?
Are the fast food restaurants beginning
to practice poor business ethics like a
certain super store here in town?
1 have to admit when the restau-
rants actually get my order right the
food is quite good, and so I am appeased
for the time being This is not always
the case though. I suppose going to
these restaurants is like gambling you
may win, you may lose, but you will
never know until you try.
So, for now, happy hunting and
good trails, and if you find that mystic
burger place that gives you what you
paid for (your money's worth) let the
world know, we sure would like to know
ourselves, good luck!
Extreme Inefficency
Throughout history there have
been all sorts of extremists in poli-
tics. The ones 1 wish to comment on
this week are terrorists. "How are ter-
rorists involved in politics?" you ask.
Well, the definition of an extremist is
a person who advocates extreme po-
litical measures. Terrorism is rooted
in political agendas and uses extreme
measures (thus advocating), to say the
least so there you have it By defini-
tion terrorists are in the politics busi-
ness. There are countless examples of
this, but the ones I choose are in re-
cent history.
My first goal is to show how ex-
tremely inefficient terrorism is in get-
ting what it wants addressed. My sec-
ond goal is to show how often the end
result is just the opposite of what the
objective was.
In proving my fist goal, that ter-
rorism isn't efficient in getting what
it wants addressed, we'll look at two
recent incidents. First we'll look at the
Oklahoma City bombing and secondly
at the Amtrak derailment near Santa
Fe.
The Oklahoma City bombing
took the lives of scores and injured
hundreds. The underlying reason was
for a retaliation against federal law
enforcement agencies. The culprits
wanted to bring the agencies into the
limelight for their roles in the deaths
of Branch Davidian members near
Waco, Texas. It was hoped that the
American people would back them in
their crusade.
The second incident was the re-
cent deliberate derailment of the
Amtrak train Sun Line near Santa Fe,
Ariz. Of the 255 passengers and crew
members on board only one died.
Ironically, the last thing that the em-
Chris Arline
Opinion Columnist
Terrorists' acts
often get just
the opposite
of what they
wanted.
ployee that perished was heard to say
was that everything would be fine, and
they would be arriving safely on time.
Around the scene there were letters
scattered blaming the federal law en-
forcement agencies for the incident
near Waco, and for not investigating
the murder of a policeman's wife who
was allegedly killed because she found
out about a ring of officers getting
kickbacks from drug dealers. The
group that claimed responsibility for
the act was a previously unknown
group calling themselves The Sons of
Gestapo. The definition of gestapo is
"a secret-police organization employ-
ing underhanded and terrorist meth-
ods against persons suspected of dis-
loyalty
The fact is that the acts only
brought up other topics. The bomb-
ing of the Murrah federal building in
Oklahoma City brought out a federal
and public witch hunt against militant
groups in the midwest, and also
turned public sentiment against new
and progressive religious sects. The
train derailment only brought out the
idea that travel companies should beef
up security when they announce lay-
offs. You see, the line that the trag-
edy occurred on was due to be shut
down, about a thousand people were
due to be laid off and, according to
experts, only a person who knew the
route very well would know that the
point where the incident occurred was
the best spot on the over 500-mile
route.
The second goal is showing that
the terrorists' acts often get just the
opposite of what they wanted. For
this, I offer the recent assassination
of Israeli Prime Minister Rabin. The
student who confessed to assassinat-
ing him and his group of followers
stated that he needed to be stopped
because he was trying to give away
the whole country.
In trying to end the return ot the
West Bank to the Palestinians they
killed the most loved man in Israefc
and created the ultimate martyr. The
move has caused even some of thei
most right-wing members of the Israeli
Parliament to support Rabin's ideas
that they previously fought against
There is now a movement to allow the
Palestinians a say, and allow them
representation on Parliament itself.
The terrorist is polities' answer,
to theater's heckler. The heckler does!
his best to have his input into th??
show, and in the end he just gets car-
ried out with the audience disrespect-
ing and valuing his beliefs and con-
cerns even more than they did in the ;
first place.
My advice is to get a picket line ?
going. It won't make CNN World Wide'
edition, but it won't land you in jail'
and make your group and objective-
less respected than before. ?j

We're mad about "Mad"
Every paper has a TV critic, but
our critic is no normal couch po-
tato, no mere TV junkie. No, our
man wil watch anything, anytime,
regardless of quality or good taste.
Truly, he has no shame, and that is
why we call him "The TV Whore
Kevin Chaisson
Staff Writer
Just in case some of you didn't
realize it, "Mad About You" is still
on TV. Yeah, you remember that
show, don't you? It came on before
"Friends" last season, kicking off
NBC's Must See TV Thursday night
line-up. Remember? Paul Reiser and
Helen Hunt? You used to love them!
What happened?
I'll tell you what happened. NBC,
in an attempt to set up some sort of
beachhead on Sunday nights (and
create more magic like it did on
Thursday), has put "Mad About You"
on at 8. Opposite "The Simpsons
"Ah-hah you say, "That's why I
haven't seen it in a while - I've been
watching The Simpsons Well, too
bad. I like 'Mad but 'The Simpsons'
reign supreme. Oh, well But I'm say-
ing this to you now - tape "The
Simpsons" and start watching "Mad"
again!
There is no way I'm going to sit
here and tell you ?
that "The
Simpsons" should
be denied. I love
the show myself! I
look forward to
each and every epi-
sode. But let's face
facts: "Mad About
You" is one of the
best-done sitcoms
produced today
and deserves your
renewed interest.
Let me refresh your memory.
"Mad About You" follows the lives of
Paul and Jamie Buchman (Reiser and
Hunt), married thirtysomethings that
live in New York. He is a documen-
tary filmmaker for a PBS-type chan-
nel, she, an English graduate stu-
dentPR executive. Throw in kooky
best friends and relatives, and you've
got the workings of a great show.
"Mad About You" began when the
Buchmans had been married one
year. Three years later, Paul and
Jamie are debating going off into
"that final frontier" and attempting
to have a child. Problems ensue.
Funny prob-
lems.

show does drift

These scenarios pop up in most

pretty good job of twisting them

bit of the bizarre.

The Art of Maintenance
After bringing such esteemed writ-
ers as W.D. Snodgrass and Joy Harjo
to ECU, the 1995 Writers Reading
Series will come to its logical conclu-
sion. On Wednesday, Dec 6, Bharati
Mukherjee will round out the semes-
ter when she reads from her own work
at Jenkins School of Art
Mukherjee, who was born in
Calcutta, India, received her MFA at
the University of Iowa in 1963 and has
since gone on to become a highly suc-
cessful fiction writer. Tackling both the
short story and the novel, she has re-
ceived several professional recogni-
tions, including awards from the Na-
tional Magazine Awards and the Na-
tional Book Critics Circle.
With the current thrust in
multiculturalism, Mukherjee's work is
particularly important. Living in
America with an Indian background,
Mukherjee incorporates a unique life
perspective within her fiction. Her
work does draw from her own personal
experiences, but it also stands on a
more universal level. Mukherjee's char-
acters tend to struggle with issues of
displacement within their own world
as they attempt to blend into a society
in which they do not neatly fit
Her first book, The Tiger's Daugh-
ter (1972), focuses on a woman who
returns to her native India after hav-
ing lived in the Western world for sev-
eral years. Upon her arrival in her home
country, the heroine is thrust into a
world very different from the one she
remembers. She now sees India
through Western lenses, and this pre-
sents a very different picture.
Mukherjee's second novel, Wife
(1975), once again centers on displace-
ment but this time the setting is New
York City. In this novel, Mukherjee il-
lustrates how the ideals of proper be-
havior set for Indian women do not
translate well within the frantic de-
mands of American society.

lows the struggles of a young Indian
girl as she runs from her home world
to seek a new self in America. While
Jasmine did receive its criticisms,
Mukherjee's writing style was still
praised for its honest portrayal of the
harsh realities existing within "the
Land of the Free
Mukherjee has also proven to be
a strong talent within the short story
form. The collections Darkness and
The Middleman and Other Stories are
both prime examples of this talent
Dealing with the immigrant experience,
both of these collections continue in
Mukherjee's tradition of providing
unique perspectives on cultural
clashes.
While Mukherjee does value her
non-Western heritage, her intention is
not to simply paint an ugly picture of
America. Her writing is a critique and

What if the president of the
United States was a widower and
wanted to date? This intriguing ques-
tion is explored in a new film by Rob
Reiner entitled The American Presi-
dent.
Andrew Sheppard (Michael Dou-
glas) has been the US president for
nearly three years as The American
President opens. For his entire presi-
dency he has been a single father.
Upon meeting a lobbyist for an envi-
ronmental group named Sydney Ellen
Wade (Annette Bening), he entertains
thoughts about asking her for a date.
President Sheppard's character
has never been questioned during his
term in office, but this new develop-
ment in his personal life causes a com-
motion. Sheppard's main opposition
in the upcoming election will be Sena-
tor Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfus, in
a well modulated, unbilled appear-
ance). Senator Rumson questions the
family values espoused by the presi-
dent when he spends the night with
Wade.
Unfortunately the relationship
between Sheppard and Wade receives
only cursory treatment from the film-
makers. And Wade is inconsistent She
has scenes highlighting her tough, di-
rect style that forces politicians to lis-
ten to her, yet she fumbles like a little
girl around the president even before
she dates him.

It's easy to become jaded as a reviewef. So much
mediocre crap is spewed out from the world's enter-
tainment capitals that a cynical, smirking, insectoid
shell is often a good reviewer's only defense against
the tidal wave of excrement he must wade through on
a daily basis.
I can smell crap at a hundred
paces, and show it no mercy. Crap
offends me; it actually pisses me off
that somebody would try to peddle
inferior goods to me. Bad entertain-
ment is an insult to my intelligence,
and I don't take kindly to insults.
That's why, to me, it's always
so refreshing to see something that
not only makes it past my protec-
tive shell, but shatters it com-
oletely. Something that's so very
good or so incredibly strange that
it leaves me defenseless, a cower-
ing pink blob, an exposed nerve ending unable to ward
off the charms of this amazing piece of entertainment.
That's what happened when 1 saw The Secret Ad-
ventures of Tom Thumb earlier this week. Within the
first 30 seconds of this repulsively delightful British
film, my sleek, deadly reviewer's carapace was lying in
shards at my feet. A hook had been deftly inserted
into my raw, exposed flesh and I was yanked right in.

men and women of Bolex Brothers Studios. None of
them are actually brothers, you understand, and there's
not a Bolex in the bunch. Actually, the main creative
force behind Tom Thumb is Dave Borthwick, who's cred-
ited as writer, designer, editor and director of the hour-
long film. What Bolex Brothers offered, apparently, was
a state of the art stop-motion animation facility to bring
Borthwick's creations to life.
Just released on video, The Secret Adventures of
Tom Thumb is part fairy tale, part sur-
realist dystopian science fiction alle-
gory, and part stop-motion spectacu-
lar. The classic story of Tom Thumb
remains intact at the film's core. Tom
is a six-inch-taH man born into a world
of normal humans who overcomes his
height difficulties and goes on to be-
come a great adventurer.
Where Borthwick deviates from
the fairy tale is in the seating: a to-
talitarian future world slum con-
trolled through genetic engineering.
This Tom is a genetic freak, ripped
away from his loving (if semi-retarded)
parents by government agents and sent to the labs for
experimentation.
Freed from his cage by a hyper-intelligent, skinless
lizard-bat, Tom discovers a society of little people living
in a junkyard, beneath the feet of "normal" humanity.
There he meets Jack the giant-killer and begins a quest
to be reunited with his father.
CD Reviews
Director Rob Reiner spends more
time on the president's political deci-
sions than on his developing relation-
ship with Wade. And he spends more
time on Wade's personal idiosyncra-
sies than on developing a consistent
personality. The script by Aaron
Sorkin (who worked with Reiner on
A Few Good Men) never gives the
couple a chance to get to know each
other. They never sit down to discuss
past relationships, job aspirations or
expectations about their relationship.
The relationship that emerges on
the screen feels forced. The film never
makes clear when Wade gets past the
awe she feels about dating the Presi-
dent Several cute scenes show their
first date at a state dinner, their ini-
tial kiss (which is disturbed because
of an attack by Libya on US soldiers),

Root Doctors
No Bones About It
See THUMB page 9
Brandon Waddell
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Instead of a press release and a
snappy little folder to put their CD
in, the Root Doctors should have
overnighted me a prescription of
painkillers; No Bones About It hurt
more than a root canal. Yes, another
band of former University of South
Carolina students who played frat
parties all over Columbia, SC have
raised their ugly heads to infect the
entire eastern sea-bored.
The second track, "No Bones
About It" sounds hauntingly similar
to the Talking Heads classic "Once
in Lifetime" being performed by Mr.
Mister. The Doctors better hope
David Byrne hasn't listened to it.
Lyrics like "Ain't got no bones about
it Tell you time and time again
I'd give my left and my right just to
be the man" would force Byrne to
give the Doctors a flurry of fore-
arm chops followed by head slaps.
Byrne may even be forced to burn
down their house for theft of his
bassline.
Byrne won't be the only one in
line to challenge these musicians to
a cage match. The "whoomp there
it is" guys are setting up the Root
Doctors for a belly-to-belly suplex off
the top rope (the most lethal move
in wrestling) for recording "the booty
song "Everyday I hope and pray
that lots of booty would come my
way Nuff said.
Let me regress.
It's not that the Root Doctors
have no talent, it's just that there is
no originality. They bite at different
song styles that have become popu-
lar in the last decade or so and add
shallow lyrics. Sure it's a safe move
to ensure at least meager record sales
and club attendance, but not one that
will win any critical praise.
It's a good thing that each mem-
ber of this quintet has their own day
job, because No Bones About It is
something they'll all laugh about a
few years from now. My mother al-
ways told me if I don't have anything
nice to say then I should keep quiet.
For once 1 think I'll take her advice.

THUMB from page 8
Tom and all the tiny creatures
he associates with on his adventure
are stop-motion puppets. Stop-mo-
tion is a pain-staking animation pro-
cess made famous in a variety of
Christmas specials from the '60s
("Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer
etc.). The technique involves mov-
ing specially-jointed puppets in tiny
increments, animating them one
frame at a time. Bolex Brothers are
masters of stop-motion, and it
shows. The Secret Adventures of
Tom Thumb looks incredible; it's
every bit as well-animated as Tim
Burton's Nightmare Before Christ-
mas, and a lot more repulsive to
boot.
The skinless lizard-bat, for ex-
ample, is a genuine work of art. With
exposed bone and muscles grafted
messily into wires and diaphanous
membranes, the creature makes
your skin crawl, but at the same time
manages somehow to come off as
cute. And despite its freak show fas-
cination, the thing still manages to
display character, intelligence and a
whole array of emotions. Its exit
from the film is a traumatic moment
that lingers in the mind for a long
time.
Much less cute are the "normal"
humans. Played by real actors (not
puppets), these characters are
filmed as if they, too, are stop-mo-
tion creations. Moving with a rigor-
mortis twitchiness, the humans are
much harder to watch than even the
most disgusting lab freak. Greasy
and despicable, these characters
(with the exception of Tom's par-
ents) are perhaps the most horrify-
ing thing about the film. The stop-
motion effect is downright creepy.
But there's more to The Secret
Adventures of Tom Thumb than just
a bunch of acid-trip visuals. The
story being told by those visuals is
engaging, funny, intelligent and
even heart warming in some twisted
way. Though the dialogue is sparse,
Tom's story deals with political, sci-
entific, religious and sexual issues
along the way. The simple image of
a crucified Santa Claus hanging
next to a male Madonna (a porce-
lain statue of Joseph cradling the
baby Jesus) covers more thematic
ground than whole days of dialogue
ever could.
Forgive me if I'm being a bit
vague here. This is a many-faceted
story that's best revealed in the view-
ing. I would be doing it an injustice
to go into too much detail.
This film sparks thought and dis-
cussion long after its final frame
leaves the screen, and only the very
best entertainment can do that. It's
not for the closed-minded, or the faint
of heart, but little that's any good is.
On a scale of one to 10, The Se-
cret Adventures l fTom Thumb rates
a repulsively fascinating 10.

T7e East Carolinian
PRJbo from page 8
the morning after their first night to-
gether, and a few minutes on the
couch at Camp David.
Reiner and Sorkin try to balance
the two aspects of the presidency, as
the leader of the most powerful na-
tion on Earth and as a man trying to
find personal fulfillment They err of
the side of political leadership. They
introduce a gimmick to help propel
the film but instead their gimmick
stalls the story. Sheppard promises
Wade's organization, the General De-
fense Fund, that he will introduce a
bill that requires a 20 Percent reduc-
tion in fossil fuel emissions but then
has to waffle on the issue. This thorny
issue could have been entirely avoided
in lieu in investing more film time on
the relationship itself.
When Sheppard is at work,
Reiner films the president amid a con-
stant flurry of activity. Lewis
Rothschild (Michael J. Fox), the Se-
nior Domestic Security Advisor, con-
stantly pumps the president for infor-
mation on the relationship. The At-
torney General, A.J. Maclnenerny
(Martin Sheen), is constantly trying
to offer advice about presidential de-
cisions. The president's secretary,
Janey (Samantha Mathis) keeps re-
minding the president about his next
appointment.
The entire cast turns in top notch
performances. John Mahoney and
David Paymer also provide support as
the head of CDF and the presidential
pollster, respectively.
Michael Douglas turns in a believ-
able, if unremarkable, performance.
The true star in this film is Annette
Bening. Of all the actresses working
in Hollywood today, she seems to have
the most star quality. She can transfix
the screen with a smile. A glow sur-
rounds her on screen that lights up
everything around her. She has confi-
dence, charm and charisma. If The
American President succeeds at the
box office, Miss Bening will deserve
much of the credit
The American President does
contain its share of witty lines. When
discussing Wade's tough lobbying tac-
tics, Maclnenerny observes, "She'd
lobby the Carolinas to the American
Lung Association And when Wade
first enters the White House grounds
she comments that she wants to savor
the Capraesque quality of the moment.
Her friend tells her that the security
guard does not even know who Frank
Capra is, nor does he care. But the
friendly guard assures Wade that he
knows exactly who Frank Capra is. This
is also a nice homage to Afr. Smith
Goes to Washington, a film similar to
this one.
In another funny scene Wade's
sister listens to Wade's hesitancy about
dating Sheppard, a handsome, intelli-
gent, articulate man who is also the
leader of the free world. Her sister flatly
asks: 'is possible your standards are a
bit too high?"
The American President tries so
hard to convey the harried lifestyle of
the executive-in-chief of the nation that
it neglects the core of the story. This
film is quite good but it could have
been great A slight shift in focus and
Sheppard would have become more of
a moan and less of a political leader.
On a scale of one to 10, The
American President rates a seven.

involved with a virtual reality repre-
sentation of Christie Brinkley instead
of a real woman (And honestly, would
any guy in his right mind cheat on
Helen Hunt? 1 thought not.). Jamie
was recognized as a popular evil bitch
comic book villain in the typical
' havr-n't I seen you somewhere be-
fore?" episode. The "trying to make
peace with the in-laws" episode cul-
minated with Paul and Jamie at
Paul's parents' house, trying to have
sex in Paul's childhood room Uhink
tiny single bed) while his mother kept
knocking at the door!
And speaking of sex. I don't
know if you remember, but "Mad
About You" actually features some
of the funniest, wittiest and sexiest
sex on TV. Paul Reiser and Helen
Hunt have wonderful chemistry to-
gether, an important, yet mostly for-
gotten, quality for a romantic com-
edy.
One of my all-time favorite epi-
sodes deals with Paul and Jamie ar-
ranging their schedules so that they
both have the day off to do nothing
but "bang the drum slowly Of
course, problems ensue. Interrup-
tions from everyone fall like rain,

including Jamie's sister, Lisa (the
amazing Anne Ramsay), to Paul's
cousin, Ira (the equally-good John
Pankow), and all the way through the
family (try geUing back into the
mood after talking to your mom) to
even the dog. Murray. Murray the
dog gets, easily, the funniest bit in
this episode-chasing an invisible
"mouse" into its "hole and smack-
ing his doggy head into the wall each
time. The effect is something like:
making out, kissing, fondling, dog
scurries, THUMP, move here, kiss
that THUMP. It's hysterical! Trust me
on this!
The other actors (besides the
dog) are all equally strong. Reiser and
Hunt have been nominated for
Emmys the past two years. Candice
Bergen of "Murphy Brown who has
won the Lead Actress Emmy for the
past hundred years, confessed on
national TV twice that Hunt deserved
the Emmy more. Cyndi Lauper, after
two guest-starring turns on "Mad" as
cousin Ira's ex, won herself an Emmy
to put on the mantle beside her
Grammys. Needless to say, the act-
ing is top-notch, and the list, of guest
stars and cameos are pretty cool, too.
Some of the more interesting ones
have been Yoko Ono, Eric Stoltz (as
Jamie's ex-boyfriend), Andre Agassi,
Car! Reiner, "Star Trek's" Brent
Spiner. and many others.
1 understand your problem! "The
Simpsons" have had some amazing
guest stars, too. You want to be loyal
to both camps, but you feel that "The
Simpsons" is the better show. I say
to you, not necessarily better, but dif-
ferent. "Mad About You" deserves
recognition, despite some conven-
tionality.
"Mad" gives a sweet and realis-
tic portrayal of a couple in love week
after week, arguments included, and
that's good. If you are in a similar
loving relationship, you can empa-
thize with Paul and Jamie. If not. it
can remind you of what that kind of
relationship is like. It shouldn't be
ignored because the stupid network
wanted to float "The Single Guy" in
the ratings for awhile (and trust me,
"Mad" kicks "Guys ass any day of
the week). Remember those VCRs.
and give "Mad About You" another
look.
On a scale of one to 10. "Mad
About You" rates a nine.

DEAR EAST CAROLINA
UNIVERSITY
On behalf of Pitt County AIDS Service
Organization (PICASO) and our clients.
I would like to thank the East Carolina
University community for their out-
standing participation and support of
AIDS Awareness Month (October). With
the cooperation of the Office of Health
Promotion & Well Being and Student
Health Services, PICASO was able to
help organize a variety of workshops
on HIVAIDS issues, as well as the cam-
pus wide CAN AIDS food drive. Over
1200 can food and personal items were
donated to our food pantry, with spe-
cial donations made by Health 1000
classes, Jones Hall, Phi Sigma Pi, and
other sororities and fraternities. This
generous donation will help keep the
food pantry shelves full for the year to
come. Many of the services PICASO
provides to our clients and the com-
munity would not be possible without
ECU students, faculty, and staff. I
would again like to thand East Caro-
lina University for continously playing
a role in providing HIVAIDS educa-
tion and prevention to our community
and challenge you to continue in the
future.

Thursday, November 30,1995 The East Carolinian
One on one with Crandell
Amanda Ross
Sports Editor
Quarterback Marcus Crandell
has been the main gun offensively
this year. He has set three new
records, two of which former quar-
terback Jeff Blake, now with the
Bengals, had set
Crandell became ECU's career
passing yardage leader with 5,691
yards and all-time total offense leader
with 6,026 yards. He also set a school
single-game record against Syracuse
this year with 392 yards passing and
453 total offensive yards.
Recently, I sat down with
Crandell, and this is what he had to
say about his performance this sea-
son and the upcoming Liberty Bowl.
Q: How does setting new
records this year boost your confi-
dence for the Liberty Bowl and next
season?
A: It will boost my confidence as
far as helping to get the team to the
point where we can accomplish our
goals that we set for the season. We'll
go to the Liberty Bowl, and hopefully
we will win. It makes me feel good to
break those records, and at the same
time be able to accomplish part of
our goals.
Q: Do you put past games be-
hind you and look forward or do you
look back and see what you can do
to improve?
A I look at my mistakes I made
in the previous game. I try to watch
?' the film and see what made me do
this and do that Throughout the
game I try to focus on not making
those same mistakes, and that's how
I prepare for the next game.
Q: Talk about the chemistry be-
tween your receivers and running
backs.
A: Our offense is demanding for
our receivers to not drop passes. It's
a lot of pressure put upon them on
running perfect routes and having

margin, Crandell watches as his backup quarterback plays.
them catch the balls. Jerris McPhail
has to run the ball about 20 or 30
times, and sometimes he has to catch
the ball out of the backf ield so often
he becomes tired. They all play an
important role and help me out
Q: ECU seems to be rushing the
ball a lot more, so how has that af-
fected your personal style of play,
which is the passing offense?
A: In previous games I felt like I
had the chance to open up the of-
fense a little more using my abilities
to run. It's helped out throughout
the season, and it's given us a lot of
aspect as far as other teams and the
way they defend us.
Q: How do you feel about not
being ranked in the top 25?
A: I feel that we deserve to be in
the top 25. We have beaten quality
opponents this season, but I think
we're not ranked because we lost to
Cincinnati. They came ready to play
and we weren't, so that cost us not
being in the top 25.
Q: In 1993, you suffered a bro-

Soccer season winds down
Cralg Perrott
Assistant Sports Editor
The 1995 season was an up and
down one for the Pirate soccer team, at
times both frustrating and rewarding.
The team finished with a 4-18
record, but two of those wins were
against conference opponents, which is
more than any ECU soccer team, previ-
ously fielded, has ever won.
"I thought we had a good season
said Head Coach Will Wiberg. "I think
we accomplished a lot more than our
record indicated. We were very competi-
tive in some games that we didn't win"
The Pirate booters displayed a new
attitude in the ECU soccer program,
that of a "never say die" approach to
the game.
Seven games were lost by one goal,
and another five were lost in overtime
or by two. All four wins were by shut-
out, and the Pirates won their first ever
CAA Tournament victory by knocking
our in-state rival UNGWilmington in the
first round.
ECU had lost six games to end the
season, including a 7-1 loss to Ameri-
can the Friday before the tournament,
but the Pirates found a way to beat the
Seahawks. They then fell to eventual
CAA champions William and Mary in
the next round of play.
"That was great for the program,
and I'm especially glad for the team
Wiberg said. "There are no regrets as
far as the tournament went"
Wiberg a first year head coach at
ECU, came into town 12 days before
pre-season camp began, giving him no
time for recruiting. Walk-on players try-
ing out for the team had as good a shot
as anyone to contribute to the squad,
but the veteran returning players
stepped up and made the difference.
Senior and All-CAA second teamer
Marc Mullin, along with junior Chris
Padgett led the team as cocaptains.
"If I had 11 Padgetts and Mullins.
we wouldn't lose many games Wiberg
said.
Senior Dan Staton, filling in at
sweeper for the first time in his career,
sacrificed his mid-fielder position for the
good of the team and did a credible job.
Fellow senior Eddie Stephens, be-
set by nagging injuries, was a versatile
weapon for the Pirates, playing in the
back and mid-fields.
Dusty Belk, another senior stand-
out lead the team in scoring with five
goals.
"Those four seniors we're really
going to miss Wiberg said. "Someone
will really have to step up to fill in for
them
Will Wiberg
In preperation for next season,
Wiberg will incorporate a number of
measures to get his squad ready. The
team will train together a certain num-
ber of days per "week, and will spend
some time in the weight room, some-
thing Wiberg opts not to do during the
course of the season.
A tryout will also be held for play-
ers transferring into ECU, as well as for
players who tried out in the fall.
"I'm also recruiting heavily now,
looking for some good players that will
fill some holes we have and some real

Super Ho's" claim victory
Flag football team
beats UNC-W 32-
0 in final game
David Gaskins
Rec. Service
The "Super Ho's ECU's 1995
Intramural Flag Football champi-
ons successfully defended their title
at the Third Annual Southern At-
lantic Flag Football championships
in Wilmington.
This regional tourney held Nov.
17-19, involved 17 men's and two
women's teams from N.C, S.C. and
Virginia.
The "Ho's" dominant run
through the tourney came on the
heels of a surprising upset suffered
three weeks earlier in Chapel Hill
at the North Carolina Collegiate
Tournament. However, on this
weekend the "Ho's" were anything
but impostors to the throne. They
ripped through Campbell 47-6 and
won by forfeit over South Carolina
State in poole play.
In the first round playoff game
against UNC-W "Lambda Chi the
"Super Ho's" overcame an early 12-
0 deficit kept their poise and dis-
mantled their opponent 37-12. In
the final three rounds ECU de-
stroyed UNC-C 40-6, crushed North
Carolina State "Guts & Glory" 40-
13 and defeated UNC-W "Sigma
Nu" 32-0 in the final game. The win
over "Guts & Glory" came against
a team that cruised through the
North Carolina State Tourney with-
out a close game.
For the second year in a row,
ECU's diminutive Chris Pressley
won the Most Valuable Player
award with his relentless pass rush
and lightning quick open field run-
ning abilities. Derrick Harris won
one of the primary receiving
threats and was selected to the All-
Tournament team along with quar-
terback Daniel Finn, who sparked
the offense with nifty running and
pinpoint precision passing.
Other members of the regional
champion "Super Ho's" included
Bud McAdam, Matt Joyner, Rodney
Young, Geouf Anderson, Antony
Gelardi, Matt Synder, Jerrod
Jenkins and David Campbell, the
veteran captain and six-year mem-
ber of the team.
The "Super Ho's" will now be-

The East Carolinian
Inaugural season tough for Panthers
(AP) - The scene is becoming an-
noyingly familiar for the Carolina
Panthers.
They head into Sunday's home
game against Indianapolis trying to
rebound from a 34-26 loss to New
Orleans in which they had six turn-
overs.
"We've been here before
coach Dom Capers said Monday.
"Two weeks ago we were in the
same situation, and we came out and
played an outstanding game against
Arizona
The Panthers had six turnovers
in their Nov. 12 loss at St Louis,
then followed it up with their best
overall game of the season, a 27-7
victory over Arizona the following
week.
If the Panthers (5-7) are to
bounce back this time, they'll have
to do it against what is shaping up
as the toughest stretch of their in-
augural season. After Indianapolis,
Carolina plays San Francisco and
Atlanta. All three teams are at least
two games over .500 and are legiti-
mate playoff contenders.
Nonetheless, Capers said he's
expecting good things from the Pan-
thers the rest of the way. To sup-
port his point, he points to
Carolina's rebound from an 0-5 start,
a comeback that has already made
the Pamhers the most successful
first-year franchise in NFL history.
"I think we have a group of
guys who are
accountable for
the way they
play he said,
"and they have
a sense of re-
sponsibility
But they
also have a prob-
lem holding
onto the ball.
The Pan-
thers went to
New Orleans
having won five of their previous six
games, a run that put them in posi-
tion to become the first expansion
team to qualify for postseason play
in its inaugural season. Instead, the
Panthers' playoff chances were se-
riously damaged by four intercep-
tions by rookie quarterback Kerry
Collins and two lost fumbles.
Ten teams in the NFC have bet-
?I think we have a
group of guys who
are accountable
for the way they
play"
? Coach Dom Capers
ter records than the Panthers, who
fell into a last-place tie with New Or-
leans in the NFC West.
"You can't turn the ball over as
much as we did and win Capers
said. "You just can't do that
Turnovers weren't Carolina's
only problem. The
Panthers, who
went into the
game with the
NFL's sixth-
ranked defense,
gave up a season-
high 180 rushing
yards. The Saints'
point total also
represented the
most given up by
Carolina this sea-
son.
The Panthers also had an un-
usually large number of missed tack-
les. Capers said they appeared to be
the result of technique problems and
possibly fatigue, but not a lack of
effort.
"We weren't as efficient as we
need to be he said, "and all you
need is for one or two guys to not
be where they need to be, and that
2- or 3-yard gain can turn into a 5-
or 6-yard gain
Carolina received some varying
news on the injury front Monday.
The bad news had to do with the
right'ankle that fullback Howard
Griffith sprained early in Sunday-
night's contest.
"Right now, I'd say he'd be
questionable for Sunday Capers
said. "He'll miss some time this
week
The good news is that Derrick
Moore, Carolina's leading rusher, is
expected to return this week.
Griffith had been filling in at half-
back during the three-game absence
of Moore, who suffered a sprained
right knee near the end of the Pan-
thers' victory Nov. 5 in San Fran-
cisco.
"I think Derrick feels very good
about coming back Capers said. "I
know he's very optimistic

nual event, now in its 18th year,
brings together over 200 of the top
teams in flag football to compete
for titles in the Men's Collegiate,
Women's Collegiate, Co-rec Colle-
giate and Men's Open Division. The
winners and runner-ups receive the
opportunity to play in an exhibition
game on the floor of the
Superdome immediately prior to
the Sugar Bowl game.
In addition to the success of
the "Super Ho's ECU was also rep-
resented at the Southern Atlantic
by four of their finest flag football
officials. Stephen Flippin, Chris
Nunn, Greg Laurie and George
Hollen officiated into the later
rounds of the event and all per-
formed very strongly. At the con-
clusion of the tourney, Hollen was
recognized for his performance
through an invitation to officiate
at the nationals, an honor reserved
for the top four officials at the
event. This will be Hollen's third
consecutive year as an official at
the national tourney.
A total of 21 officials worked
the even from ECU, UNC-W, NCSU,
UNC-Chapel Hill, Appalachian State
and Campbell University.
While this group of ECU's best
was in Wilmington, another contin-
gent was in Atlanta working the
Georgia Collegiate Flag Football
Championships. ECU has been in-
vited to send top officials to this
tourney for the past seven years
due to the recognized quality of the
officiating program.
Recreational Services and ECU
was represented by David Pate,
Zina Briley, Russell Duvall, Aaron
Sauls, Allison Kemp and Steven
Roberson. This tourney is the larg-
est stateregional flag football tour-
ney in the country and is second
only to the Nationals.
There were 62 teams that
squared off in competition and 42
officials came to work the tourney
representing ECU, University of
Alabama. Appalachian State Univer-
sity, Georgia Southern University,
Georgia Tech, Mercer University,
Middle Georgia College, University
of Georgia and Valdosta State Uni-
versity.
Roberson claimed top honors
among the ECU officials by being
selected as one of eight All-Tour-
nament officials, being given an in-
vitation to work the Nationals and
being selected to officiate the
men's championship game. Allison
Kemp was selected to officiate the
women's championship game and
Duvall was a crew chief for both
days of the tourney.
The national tourney is ex-
pected to assemble approximately
120 officials from across the nation.
ECU will have their largest group
ever making the journey this year
as Lynda McCormick, Nunn,
Roberson, Duvall, Hollen and
Laurie will work the event.

needs we have Wiberg said.
The NCAA allows Division 1-A pro-
grams 22 weeks of competition, and the
Pirates have only used up 15 or 16 of
those weeks. Wiberg plans to hold a
tournament (possibly in round robin
format) on his remaining playing dates.
As for his first year as head coach,
Wiberg believes he has learned a lot
"I learned what a good conference
we're in Wiberg said. "I have a lot of
respect and admiration for the other
coaches in the conference, and I think
that East Carolina has earned the re-
spect of a lot of those programs
With only five home games this year,
the constant road travel cost the Pirates
some of their endurance that they
worked so hard for during the summer.
Wiberg also learned a lot about his
players, and believes they learned a lot
about him.
"It's been very positive for me, and
next year I'll be a little wiser and know
what to expect Wiberg said. "I'm not
going to be in for any surprises next year.

ken ley and had to sit out the rest of
the season. How did that affect you
mentally?
.V It was heartbreaking to go out
there and see Perez (Mattison) put into
the position he was put in. He was a
freshman and was very young and he
didn't know what to expect To see the
look on his face, I knew exactly how he
felt because he was a freshman, and I
can imagine how 1 would have felt as a
true freshman playing quarterback.
Q: Compare this season's Liberty
Bowl team to last year's team.
A: 1 think last year we had definite
leaders on the team with Junior Smith
and Damon Wilson. This year I think
we are starting to get some of those
leadership skills from the players, but
the coaches have been the leaders for
us this year. We're still getting the job
done, but I think they would like to see
players step up and be leaders.
Q: Stanford is ranked 30th and
ECU is ranked 29th. Do you think this
will be a better matchup than last year?
A; I haven't really seen them play
this year, but what I've been hearing is
that they are tough. I hope it's not go-
ing to be a game like it was last year.
We are going to try to give our fans
something worth seeing.
Q: Do you think the players are
more focused this year for the bowl
yame than they were last year?
k. Yes, I think they are. I know,
definitely, they are because of what hap-
pened last year. We don't want to get
embarrassed like we did against Illinois.
Q: The team s motto this year has
been "unfinished business Are you
going to finish that business this year
in Memphis?
A: We're going to try our best
