TUESU? January 23,1996 Vol 71, No. 32 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 16 pases Around the State FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - Fayetteville State University has spent at least $30,000 to improve security in response to two Decem- ber shootings on campus. Harry Ghee, acting vice chan- cellor for business and finance, said the school spent S40.000 on 14 emergency call boxes to be installed around campus Monday. Anvone needing assistance will be able to push the button on a call box to alert police. Ghee estimated that another S 16,000 was spent to buy lights and improve or repair some existing ones. ROXBORO, N.C. (AP) - The city manager quit the job he held less than a year after officials found out that he lied about earning a college degree. The city council accepted the immediate resignation of Ken Kortness at a council meeting Sat- urday night. Kortness had said he received a bachelor's degree in busi- ness from the University of Wash- ington, but officials said he admit- ted he did not. The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Sunday. Mayor Lois Mclver Winstead called the weekend council meeting after reading a published report about the false information. The city requires a four-year degree to apply for the post. Around the Country SOUTH KINGSTOWN. K.I. (AP) - About 11.000 lobsters coated with heating oil and dozens of blackened birds flopped on shore as oil spread from a leaking barge that ran aground off a wildlife refuge. More than 828,000 gallons has spilled since the barge got stuck in a storm Friday, creating a rainbow- sheen that stretches for 12 miles. And while it is still leaking, it's leaking at a much lesser rate. About 1.2 million gallons of oil had been pumped into another barge Sunday and crews got into position this morning to pump the remainder. The barge had been carrying 4 mil- lion gallons. SAN DIEGO (AP) - Six illegal immigrants stopped by federal agents near the Mexican border ran away in the dark and fell off a 120- foot cliff, the Border Patrol said. One man died and the others were in- jured. The FBI is looking into the Sat- urday night accident to make sure proper procedures were followed. Border Patrol supervisory agent Ron Henley said Sunday. Around the World MOSCOW (AP) - President Boris Yeltsin reportedly said Mon- day that he likely will be a candi- date in elections in June. It was the strongest indication yet he would seek re-election. Yeltsin, who has acted like a candidate since returning to the Kremlin following a two-month ab- sence caused by heart trouble, said he will announce a final decision next month on seeking a second five- year term. Vandals target parking lots across city Stereos, CDs are most popular items stolen from autos Debra Byrne Staff Writer ����Hi Larceny from vehicles has re- cently become a major problem in the city of Greenville and on the ECU campus. From January 1-16. the Greenville Police department has had a reported 83 cases of larceny. The ECU Police Department has had 12. five of which occurred over the week- end of January 13-15. In a majority of cases, victims are leaving valuables in plain view. Items taken are mostly stereos, ste- reo equipment and compact disks. Other items include cellular phones and personal belongings. Vehicle damage has also been reported in some of these rases, mostly broken glass. These crimes have occurred in all areas of the city. The Greenville Police Department reported there are no prevalent areas for these crimes. One of the main parking areas on campus that is being hit is Curry Court located behind the Kmart Plaza. Reade Street lots are also highly affected. Junior Mysti Stein said she thinks the ECU police should focus on this problem. They should put more people out on patrol with a primary focus on student lots, especially freshman and Minges Stein said. "The money that we pay for university fees, we should feel safe and know that when we leave our automobiles, they will be the same way when we come back ECU Police Chief Teresa Crocker said the University will put officers out in the lots to observe as they have in the past. "We are looking to do different things with Parking and Traffic, such as putting some cameras up in areas of the lots so that we can monitor the problem Crocker said. "The de- partment will then have an extra set of eyes here at the station that can zero in on specific lots The Greenville Police Depart- ment wants to make the public aware of this problem. "The department is working in different locations staking this par- ticular problem out said Officer Wil- liam Harris of the Greenville Police Department. "One thing the public Photo fc PATRICK IRELAN Cars parked in the freshman parking lot at Allied Health are lined up like sitting ducks. Recent increases in the number ofthefts from cars has caused the pol ice to alert the public. can do is to make us aware of their suspicions, call and let us know if you see something. If people remove their valuable items, it decreases the prob- ability of cars being broken into Junior Kimberly Delmar said she believes it is mainly our own respon- sibility to protect our vehicles. "I don't think it is as much the officer's responsibility as it is the people's, "said Delmar. "Generally, if there is nothing in sight of value, then there is no reason why some- one would want to break into your vehicle to begin with Crocker suggests that students and faculty should try to park in well lit areas and not in the back of the lots. When you see things that are suspicious, pick up a blue phone and call an officer to come check it out. "People need to realize that things that go on outside the bound- aries of this campus can and prob- ably will happen here Crocker said. N i recent arrests have been made regarding the issue of larceny from vehicles by the Greenville or ECU Police Departments. Anyone with information on these crimes, please call Greenville Police at 8304315, ECU Police at 328- 6787 or Crime Stoppers at 758-7777. The art of metal Photo by PATRICK IRELAN As visitors and students alike drive into East Carolina's main entrance, they can view the unique metal art sculptures that grace the lawn in front of Jenkins Fine Art Center. Fires spark at top of college hill Staff Writer College hill residents witnessed loud sirens and flashing lights on Thursday. Jan. 18. after an assist res- cue turned bizarre. ECU Police Chief Teresa Crocker said the incident which in- volved Public Safety, the rescue squad and the Station One Fire De- partment happened around 6 p.m. "They Belk had a female stu- dent who needed to be transported to the hospital Crocker said. Whenever the rescue squad is called the fire department is also re- quired to come to the scene. Crocker said that while the tire department was on the scene, a dumpster on the north of Belk Hall was set on fire. "Somebody probably just flipped a cigarette into it said David Fair, coordinator of Belk Hall. Then, as the firemen attempted to extinguish the dumpster, the fire truck caught on fire in front of Jones and Aycock Residence Halls. An ex- tinguisher was used to contain the truck fire. Another fire truck had to be called to the scene to take care of the fire. As a result, one lane of College Hill Drive was temporarily closed off to traffic to prevent cars from running into the disabled truck. "That Situation was a rarity said Battalion Chief Jeff Walker of the Station One Fire Department located on Fifth Street. Walker said a short in an en- gine wire caused the problem. The truck was soon towed back to the fire station, and traffic was back to normal on college hill. Omega Psi Phi returns to campus Interest will determine fraternity's fate Marguerite Benjamin Assistant News Editor After a five-year suspension from campus, the Epsi- lon Vcta chapter of the Omega Psi Pin fraternity will he reinstated A enough interest is generated during the sign- up peril id.

Jan. 26. Currently leading the efforts to reopen the Epsilon Veta chapter is James Ebron, a spokesperson for Epsi- lon Veta chapter, who said the chapter's return to cam- pus depends on responses received from students. "We are doing this type of sign-up on a one-time basis, because we are trying to determine if there is enough inter- est to warrant a return Ebron said. Ebron said because this chapter of the fraternity, which shares purple and gold with the university as its official colurs. has been inactive for so long, this type of call for applicants is the only logical way to begin evaluations so the chapter can he reopened. "Five years ago, the fraternity aid not follow univer- sity and fraternal rules about behavior on campus Ebron said, "and because they engaged in activities not condoned by campus regulations, the chapter was closed Ebron said he believes the suspension will serve as a warning example ti� the new chapter, and the fraternity will he able to overcome any stigmas that have been placed upon it.

Now the center's administrators are offering students a chance to he- come a part of the center's many edu- cational and enlightening programs. On Nov. 28 of last year, the center held its first official meeting of the Nubian Novel Discussion Circle. According to the center's director, Taffye Benson-Clayton, the discussion series was designed to bring van. the center's regular programming. The series centers around selected readings by various African American writers.

Sherri Parrish Staff Writer Members of ECU'S Computer In- formation ServicesDepartment (CIS) described their recently departed friend, George Abeyounis, as energetic and always willing to lend a helping hand. "George was very outgoing said Blake Price, director of CIS. "He prob- ably laughed and smiled more than anybody I know Abeyouonis died on the evening of Jan. 10, the result of a heart at- tack. He was 40-years-old. He is survived b"y"riis wife Tammy, and two daughters, Kristen and Danielle. Professionally, George was the supervisor of the CIS' PC repair shop and responsible for the sound systems at the ECU football and basketball games. According to friends and co-work- ers, George was a master at fixing anything. "He was a 'Mr. Fix-It Price said. "Whether it was computers, eye- glasses, whatever, George could do it" Colleagues said his talents and capabilities will be missed and not easiiy replaced. "Speaking as his friend and man- ager, his breadth of knowledge was so great said Thorn Lamb, associate director of CIS. "Without him there will be a great void, and I don't know if we can fill it" Lamb said in addition to his pro- fessional abilities, George's good na- ture will also be missed. "George was always doing things for people, both at work and in his neighborhood Lamb said. "He couldn't say no In memory of their friend, the CIS department decided to donate a savings bond, collected through con- tributions, to the surviving children. But because of the overwhelm- ing response of donations. Lamb has said that the money for the children will be invested in another way. "I need to speak with his wife Lamb said. "She would have a better idea of where the money should go The department will also name one of their scholarships in his honor. The funerai was held at 2p.m. on Jan. 13 at the Bethel Methodist Church, which was filled to capacity. "George was one of the most re- spected and loved members of our family in CIS, and we will miss him greatly Price said. Electric savings for campus, community i � nf cnnni Grace Sullivan Staff Writer ECU has signed a contract with Greenville Utilities Commission (GUC) to install 3.2 megawatts of generating capacity on campus. Assistant Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Dr. George W. Harrell handles facility-related busi- ness dealing with ECU. "The contract requires GUC to install two 1,600 kilowatt generators that will be used to reduce the de- mand charge for electricity during the peak hours" Harrell said. ECU'S power bill consists of two major portions: peak demand charges and kilowatt usage. The amount of each is almost equal on a monthly basis. The peak demand is the highest one-hour period each month. Peak charges amount to a significant portion of the university's annual power bill, total- ling $2.2 million. "It is so expensive to run things during the peak hour Harrell said. "It cost us $18.75 for one hour to run a 100 watt light bulb Under the terms of the contract, ECU will save $143,000 per year. Each month GUC will credit ECU with $11,917 for the power being saved. "ECU is being paid $11,917 each month by GUC, and we don't have to invest anything" Harrell said. GUC is buying the generators with their money and the university is sharing the savings. After oper- ating and generator costs, ECU and GUC are splitting the savings 5050. Students will also directly see the sav- ings from the agree- ment, as it will help control the cost of renting on campus housing. "If we can clip our peak costs.which are the most expensive, it helps everyone in the community, not just ECU Harrell said. Cutting the cost of the power usage of ECU will also benefit the Greenville community, as the sav- ings will be passed on to other area residents. "This is certainly a win-win situ- ation and is indicative of the value of coopera- tive ef- forts be- tween the uni- versity and local government i Harrell said. The contract " was signed Dec. 8, and GUC has nine months to have the units in place. However, Harrell said they were hoping to have them ready before the summer peak hits. NOVEL from page 1 ing. According to Watson, having spe- cific questions to accompany the read- ing assures that students will contribute what they got from the readings. "We should have some really en lightened discussions Benson-Clayton said. "The intent of the program is to bring students together in a book circle type of gathering in a relaxed atmosphere where they can discuss African Ameri- can literature from an historical and edu- cational approach According to Watson and Benson- Clayton, the reading list will include writ- ings from 1700's and 1800's, such as A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Dou- glas and Equiano's Travels. "The reading circle is open to all who are interested, and we encourage students to become a part of the group to enjoy some intellectual conversation Watson said. Watson added that the meetings of the discussion circle will be held on the fourth Tuesday of every month. The next meeting will be held tonight at 5 p.m. at the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center.

In- stead he sees a lot of apathy on his campus. According to a newly released sur- vey of college freshman, Enzler's ex- perience is not unusual. Today's col- lege freshman report they have little passion for social issues and political reform, while rising numbers said they believe individuals are powerless to make a difference in society. Researchers at University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles's Higher Educa- tion Research Institute found students who consider "keeping up with politi- cal affairs" one of their life's goals dropped this year to an all-time low of 28.5 percent The high. 57.8 percent was reached in 1966. "This continuing erosion of stu- dents' political interest should be a red flag to all of us who believe in the democratic process said survey direc- tor Alexander Astin, professor at UCLA's Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. "Apparently, increasing political apathy goes hand- in-hand with disengagement from so- cial action and growing sense of pow- erlessness Fewer of today's freshman cared about "influencing social values" (38.2 percent as opposed to 43.3 percent in 1992), "cleaning up the environment" (22.5 percent from 33.6 percent), "in- fluencing the political structure" (17.2 percent from 20. percent), "promoting racial understanding (33.4 percent from 42 percent), and "participating in a community action program" (23 percent from 26.1 percent). And, the percentage of freshmen who think one person 'can do little to change society" rose to nearly 34 per- cent - a 10-year-high, surveyors said. Predictably, the number of students who discuss politics frequently was aiso at the lowest point ever: 14.8 percent The fall survey, sponsored by the American Council on Education; was given to 323,791 entering freshman at 641 two-year and four-year institutions. Of these, 240,083 questionnaires from 437 college and universities were used. The institution then weighted the data in an effort to make it reflective of the views of the nation's 1.5 million col- lege freshman. Kazim Ali, vice president of the United States Association (USSA), said there has been a wave of activism among students this year who are bat- tling federal student aid cuts or cam- paigning for the restoration of affirma- tive action policies within the Univer- sity of California system.

"Students were courted by one po- litical party, then another, and no one has delivered on their promises. No wonder students have become disillu- sioned Ali said. "Look at the na- ��-����- tional political scene. What role models do students have in the Ameri- can political sys- tem?" In 1992, a record number of students voted in the election, with 29 percent of Presi- dent Clinton's sup- port coming from 18-to 24-year olds. Ali said MTV's Rock the Vote and the Clinton cam- paign were both successful in con- vincing young mmmummmmmmmmm people to get out and vote. "But nothing panned out Ali said. "Issues that mattered to young people - universal health care, lifting the ban on gays in the military - have been taken away. Now as Congress continues to chip away at direct lend- ing, students are becoming more dis- enchanted At the same time, more freshman students are describing their political values as "middle of the road" (54.3 percent) than in recent years. And while those who called themselves "liberal" or "conservative" decreased, those who labeled themselves belonging to the "far left" (2.7 percent) and the "far right" (1.6 percent) reached all-time highs. "For the first time in the history of the survey, we have a situation where the large majority of young people are moving toward the center at the same time the small minorities at the ex- tremes are growing Astin said. There "middle-of the-road" values are moving students in two directions on social issues.

They want to get to know them better On the lib- eral side, the be- lief that homo- sexual relation- ships should be prohibited has declined to an all-time low of 30.6 percent And support for legalizing marijuana reached a 15-year high 33.8 percent Although most college freshmen think race should be given special con- sideration in college admissions, only half answering an annual survey dis- agreed with the statement: "Affirma- tive action in college admissions should be abolished Researchers found that 70 percent surveyed in its 30th national report said race should be given at least "some special consideration" by admissions officers. Students were �plit 50-50, though, when the question contained the words affirmative action said Linda Sax, the survey's associate director. Support for race-based admissions was greatest at historically African American colleges and universities (90.3 percent) and lowest at four-year universities (65 percent); opinions held no matter which racial or ethnic group was being considered and whether stu- dents surveyed attended public or pri- more conservative about support for vate schools. "Despite widespread attacks on affirmative action, college freshman - the very people who most recently ex- perienced the admissions process - support the use of diverse criteria m admissions Sax said. In addition to race, freshman also said admissions directors Should con- sider academic achievement (96.1 per- cent), economic background (96 per- cent), athletic ability (84.5 percent) and citizenship status (86.4 percent). More than half, or 58.3 percent, also think children of alumni should get special consideration. More freshman (9.7 percent) also intend to pursue education careers than in the previous two decades. In- terest in studying engineering and law, meanwhile, few to their lost points (6.4 percent and 3.4 percent respectively). During their senior years in high school, students reported that they spent increasingly less time on academ- ics and more time exercising, playing sports or working at part-time jobs. More than three-fourths (77 percent) spent six hours or more each week socializing, while 62.7 percent worked more than six hours a week. The increased time spent working in high school may reflect students' overwhelming concern (71.4 percent) that they have enough money to fin- ish college. With students receiving less financial assistance from their families and government aid drying up, fresh- men increasingly relied on loans to pay their school bills. Nearly 40 percent said they will have to get a job to help cover expenses. Enzler said he and other freshmen like him worry about how they will come up with the cash to pay for school. But he said, he doesn't let it get him upset. "I worry about it but I figure I'll be making a lot of money when 1 get out Enzler said. He has some loan and scholarship money from the school and has a work- study job. Freshman women reported that they were more likely to spend one to five hours a week studying, participat- ing in student groups, taking care of children or households, performing volunteer work and talking with pro- fessors.

He recast the required curricu- lum to emphasize the classics, brought renowned intellectuals in to lecture and fired or reassigned scores of pro- fessors. He launched an advertising blitz declaring: "Harvard: the Adelphi of Massachusetts Facing a deficit of several million dollars, he cut staff, eliminated ath- letic programs, shuttered the college radio station and even rationed copier Daper. The deficit has turned into a fat reserve fund. That thrift didn't extend to him- self, however. His salary is now $524,000, after an increase of 28 percent last year, the second-highest of any college president in the country. Diamandopoulos (pronounced Dee-man-DOP-o-lus) also enjoys lavish perks such as the use of a $1.2 mil- lion apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, along with both a stately house and a $400,000 condominium near the campus in Garden City, on Long Island. Meanwhile, full-time enrollment is down to about 5,000, a 30 percent drop since Diamandopoulos became president. Tuition has jumped 60 per- cent in the last five years, to about $13,500 a year. Now the New York state attorney general is investigating Diamandopoulos's financial arrange- ments. In a nonbinding ballot in Octo- ber, the 240-member faculty voted 131-15 to oust Diamandopoulos. "I find it incredible and outra- geous that the university can spend a million dollars on a Manhattan apart- ment while we've had 30 support staff laid off said Devin Thornburg, a psy- chology professor and chairman of the faculty senate. In addition, the district attorney is investigating claims that on Nov. 29, Diamandopoulos's wife, Maria, left eight crank messages on the faculty union's answering machine. A voice expert hired by the union concluded the messages were left by Mrs. Diamandopoulos, said Cathy Cleaver, executive director of the union. One call said: "I thought you were some liberal radical, Nazi, sort of Karl Marx crap organization that's hanging around destroying universi- ties. I want you out of there, not Presi- dent Diamandopoulos Students, meanwhile, have joined with alumni and faculty in forming a group called Save Adelphi, which is challenging the radio station closing in court and helped get the expendi- ture issue before the attorney general's office. Faculty members argue that the school's reputation was built on its strong nursing and social work courses. Now those areas have been gutted with sharp course reductions, they say.

But not the familiar problem on the sievelike southern border with Mexico. This time the alarm sounds in the north. Now it's the Canadian border. And the illegals are not as in the south, mostly Mexi- cans and South Americans. Here in the north they are, for the most part, Koreans. They slip across the westernmost stretch of the U.S Canadian border near the crossing at Blaine, about 130 miles north of Seattle, at the rate of about 50 a month and the number is growing daily, according to James Rayburn of the Border Patrol's anti-smuggling operation in Bellingham, Wash. The numbers had been negligible, says Rayburn, until May 1994, when Canada dropped its requirement that South Korean visitors need a visa. Now, he says, illegal entry is the fastest-growing problem at the crossing. "Just as we approach every new month we're logging higher stats he said in a recent interview. Both U.S. and Canadian officials stress that the percent- age entering the United States illegally is a fraction of the number of Koreans visiting Canada. But with only a handful of the 48 agents at the Washing- ton state border assigned to anti-smuggling, Rayburn says he can't keep up. "It's gotten out of hand he says. "We are in competition with a much more active southern border, and we're not the higher priority He noted that San Diego has nearly two- dozen agents assigned to anti-smuggling.

They describe a network of con- tacts stretching from Seoul to Vancouver, the Canadian entry point closest to Asia. Smugglers charge a minimum of $14,000 a customer, investigators say. They advertise in newspapers and with underground sources in Korea. The destination is not Canada but as with the "coyote" smugglers of the south- ern border, the United States. Getting to Canada is easy. Clients simply board flights from Seoul to Vancouver, usually in groups of 30 to 40. There, one or two couriers meet them and drive them into the Vancouver area for a meal and a tew hours' sleep at a motel. They rouse them in the middle of the night divide them into smaller groups, load them into rental vans and drive them on back roads to points near the border. They enter the United States on foot slipping in across remote farm fields. There, other vans await for the 2 12-hour drive to Seattle. Some stay there. Others catch domestic flights to, usually, New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco. Investigators believe several loosely connected Korean smuggling rings op- erate about the same way. Last Oct 20, U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped a rented van carrying 16 undocumented Koreans on Inter- . state 5 near Bellingham, several miles south of the border. They told the agents that smug- glers had driven them from the Vancouver airport to the border, then led them across raspberry fields to the United States in the middle of the night They said their guides communicated using cellular telephones and flashing lights. Agents arrested both the man who drove the van and the one who led them across the raspberry fields. One was himself an undocumented Korean. The other, lawyers have indicated in court might be cooperating with investigators. Federal prosecutors decline comment Smuggling rings began drawing notice last summer, a little over a year after Canada dropped its visa require- ments for Korean visitors. The reason for the waiver, says John Kent a Canadian immigration spokesman in Vancouver, was simply to accommodate the large numbers of Koreans who want to visit Canada le- gitimately. He says figures show that about 78,000 visited in 1994, a 95 per- cent increase from 1993 which was the highest rate of increase for any coun- try. Further, Kent says, Canada doesn't have visa requirements for other Asian countries, such as Hong Kong and Ja- pan, and no immigration problems have arisen with those countries. But the No. 1 travel destination for Koreans is the United States. More than 600,000 South Koreans were expected to visit this country in 1995, up about 900 percent from 1987. Jin Song of the Washington-based Korea Economic Institute of America, a trade group, has an economic expla- nation. "Koreans are basically much more well off now he says. "It's no longer the grueling, penny-pinching days any- more. As households become more wealthy, they want to spend their lei- sure, and one of the leisures that's be- coming increasingly popularized is travel But at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul the lines to get visas are frustratingly long Song says, often all the way around the block just to get an application, then another long wait to be called back for an interview. The process can take months or even years, he says. "The problem is due to the over- worked status of Americans working in the consulate in Seoul Song says. Dan Danilov, a Seattle lawyer who specializes in immigration, says some Koreans would rather forgo the bureau- cratic hassle and pay a smuggler. "The legal way, you have to fill out papers, you have to give your history, tell the government how much money you have in the bank he says. "But the illegal smuggler doesn't need any information. You can give him a false name and he doesn't care.

Greenville Utilities Tuesday, January 23,1996 The East Carolinian Our View Tattoos and other essentials will have to wait until we recover from our book expenses They have us right where they want us in the bookstore spending all of the money we had originally set aside for books PLUS the money we thought we were going to have left over. It looks like we will have to wait another semester to get those tat- toos we had been saving for. It happens the same way at the start of every semester. We add up all of our existing expenses (you know, the late MasterCard payment, the phone bill from the end of last semester, our "new and improved" tuition bills and we subtract them from our existing (or soon to exist) bank stash. Those of us who are lucky enough to receive scholarships and or financial aid and actually have enough left over after tuition to expect a refund are especially excited. We don't even mind standing in that long @! line at the Cashier's Office, because the only thing registering in our minds is the fact we're actually going to be able to write checks again. Yessir! No more searching for an ATM that dispenses $5 bills for us! Happy days are here again. Now it's the first week of classes, and we know sooner or later we have to go to the bookstore to fill the quota of "required texts but we're not worried. We had already anticipated this little incon- venience, and we have it covered. After all, were only taking 15 hours worth of courses, right? How much can that be? "$345!?" you gasp in a high falsetto to the lady behind the counter at the student store. "Are you sure you didn't charge me twice for one book? Did you take off the '$5 off every $75' cou- pon?" People standing in line behind you are getting a little rowdy as you take another look at your booklist trying to decide which ones you really need. Then you remember what happened last se- mester when you tried to go without buying that biology book, and you hand the lady your tear-stained check. Ch-ting! And it's all over. You trudge home saying, "I should have gone to UBE, after all, they do have more used books However, the truth is some of your friends went to UBE and they paid as much as you did, and they only got one "$5 off every $75" coupon taken off of their entire purchase. And oh how convenient! The small print on the bottom of the coupon says, "NOT VALID ON PREVIOUS PURCHASES So no one can go back and demand reimbursement for the fraudu- lent coupon.

When something perverse and twisted happens to you twice, you begin to wonder if it's you or is the world becoming sicker and sicker. I'd like to think it's the world and not something on my forehead that every- one, except me, can see. Let me tell you about my most recent experience. It's the middle of the afternoon and I am driving down Arlington Bou- levard when a car pulls up beside me and proceeds at the same speed. Had I not had my signal light on to change lanes, I would've probably never glanced over at the car, but I thought it was someone being a jerk by not letting me change lanes. So I glance over to see what kind of moron enjoys playing such child- ish and dangerous games. What I saw was not some teenager trying to be funny, or some pinhead trying to be a jerk, but a pervert trying to show me his erect penis. For a few seconds I didn't even notice what he had clutched in his hand, but when 1 did, I simply shook my head in disgust "How pathetic I thought Of all the ways to arouse oneself, exposing yourself to a total Stephanie Lassiter Guest Columnist "These are the same type of people who are rapists and pedophiles stranger in another car just doesn't seem like it would have much effect So i slowed up, but he also slowed up. And then, as if carefully calculated, he pulled into the turn lane and made a U-turn and headed toward me. Well, I am not sure what tran- spired in the next couple of seconds, but I didn't turn around to follow him. I didn't even get a glimpse of his li- cense plate. As I got closer and closer to home, I got angrier and angrier. "These are the same type of people who are rapists and pedophiles I thought So I called the police and told them everything. An hour later they had stopped a vehicle similar to the one I described. I was asked to identify the man in a grocery store parking lot. Unfortunately, the guy they stopped was the wrong guy. I never heard from the Greenville P.D. again. Had this been my first experience with a pervert I wouldn't have been so disturbed. But this has happened to me before, and it has happened to some of my friends as well. Fortu- nately, I was in my car and the man couldn't get to me, but some of my friends haven't been so lucky. I've laughed with my friends about the sicko, but I think we've all thought to ourselves how scary a situ- ation like that can become. I could kick myself in the butt for not chas- ing the guy down, but in today's soci- ety, you've got to think about your safety first Any moron who would do something like that probably wouldn't hesitate to shoot someone. Besides, isn't it the job of the law to catch people like that? Unfortunately, in a society where teen-agers are picked up every day for committing murder, burglary and rape, someone who shows their penis to an innocent driver isn't much of a priority.

Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary Phantom strikes again The transformation is complete. Every molecule in my body has been converted into a terrible beast that col- lectively forms one of ECU's meanest and most despised creatures, feeding on opportunity and caring nothing for the innocent or fair-hearted. This living, breathing phenomenon that has entered my body and has taken over has left me but one choice for escape from its strong grasp. It has forced me to purge myself of the guilt in a public forum, that it might choose another host with which to perform its evil deeds. I have become the parking lot phantom. Yes, I know that some of you who know me are calling around to special- ists and doctois in the hope of finding some type of revolutionary cure, but let me save you the quarter and tell you that this ailment has no known cure. I can only pray that this exposure of my susceptibility can cleanse me. Today I was running a little tiny bit late to my nine o'clock class. This means that I rose at the appropriate hour only to remember, while in the shower singing Milli-Vanilli, that I had forgotten to do the first homework as- signment for my Spanish II class. I could have let it slip, but like many other East Carolina students this semester, I am in need of a little G.PA. boost and I want to get off to a good start Inside me, at this moment the beast receives a tiny bit of nourishment as he feeds off of my stress. So I hur- ried through the shower (this fact alone can put a person on the edge) and did my homework at light speed. By the time I closed the book and zipped up my backpack, it was seven minutes un- til nine and my eyes bulged in surprise. Speeding through neighborhoods and dodging all of the walkers, 1 was in a panic. I panicked not really because I was going to be late. I certainly have been late before and there is a minute chance that in the course of my college Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist inside me, at this moment, the beast receives a tiny bit of nourishment as he feeds off my stress career I will be late again but you see, I was aware of what awaited me in the commuter lot I was aware of the beast The beast is everywhere. He is in- side me awaiting discomfort and worry with which he can grab onto and use as a stepping stone to my conscious- ness. He is certainly in the parking lot having taken over many other unsus- pecting victims already, causing them to speed around the parking lot killing randomly in search of a spot He is devi- ous. This is the point of no return for me. When I first begin to stress about how many people will be in the lot I find that I must make a choice. I must choose to accept the fact that it may take me anywhere from 10 to 20 min- utes to find a space, or I must choose to become the beast Today 1 became the beast This transformation is not neces- sarily characterized by obvious things, like a werewolf s long hair or a vampire's lurking, sharp teeth. No no. More often than not there are no outward signs. The unsuspecting host is not commonly aware that a change has even taken place until the parking spot has been stolen, or 'found as the beast would prefer it stated. This is one of the most severe natures of this beast this thief of mental peace, this phantom of stabil- ity. He is so sneaky that I did not even know about him until I became him, and at that point it was much to late. I arrived at the first lot at about nine o'clock. I was sweating and worry- ing like a father in the delivery room. My subconscious laboring to produce this monster. The lot looked like the one tiny hole in the bottom of a wasp nest There were so many cars zooming around in a frenzy for the one or two spots that would be made available from students returning from their eight o'clock classes. I decided to spin the car around and speed up to the lot behind Mendenhall in one final attempt to tease the beast back into the depths of my mind. If I could only find a space quickly I might keep the stress from welling inside. I didn't find a space quickly. Now, in complete transformation, I hovered around the small lot like a hawk or a vulture over a field of lambs. I would do anything to get a space. Then, I spun my head around 360 degrees like the great horned owl to see directly in front of me a spot opening up at the far end of the lot Out of the corner of my eye I could see that another person driving a new Mustang had already seen it and was moving slowly towards it I stepped on the gas with my newly hairy feet and spiked teeth and arrived at the space just in time to pull into it without using the brakes until my front bumper was an inch from the fence that backed up to it I hid my face from the driver of the other car and scurried through the con- struction onto campus. To the driver of that car I apologize from the bottom of my susceptible little heart I did not know that I could be the beast I did not ex- pect his claws to grab so strongly. I thought that it would never happen to me. but it did. make buying cigarettes more conve- nient, or sterile tree farms that mimic intact ecosystems and fuel toxic indus- tries, or mono crop agri-business' that rely on heavy pesticides and fertiliz- ers all of which further alienate us from our land and values while di- rectly compromising our health and safety. 1 do not see how the ability to systematically slaughter 15,000- 20,000 hogs per day dose sic any- thing to improve the quality of life in eastern Carolina, except to provide one more unhealthy product to an already decadent market that rivals anything Babylon had to offer Laurie Kirsten Social Work �X 0� X M M M ?� MM s ATTENTION STUDENTS If you have a complaint or comment write a letter to the editor.

Tuesday, January 23,1996 The East Carolinian � IEE A Drop 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 opin- ion. Take it as you will Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor L I've got a confession to make. It's the kind of confession that gar- ners hard stares in this country, if not outright disdain. It's a senti- ment that generally goes unex- pressed in print, but I know I can't be the only person who feels this way. And that's why I'm sharing this with you now. I really hate sports. Well, okay, that's not entirely accurate. I can appreciate the tal- ent and ability of athletes and the subtle complexities of coaching strategies. I also understand the important role sports play in many people's lives. For a lot of kids, it's a ticket out of the ghetto and into a college education. For a select few of those kids, it's also a ticket to million-dollar salaries and a life their parents never dreamed of. So it's not sports I have a prob- lem with, per se. It's all the stuff that goes with sports that I hate. The fans, for instance. I'm not talking about the ca- sual fan, who occasionally tunes in to an NBA game on his day off. I'm talking about the people who live for sports. They spend as many of their off hours as possible watch- ing sports. They talk sports, they breathe sports, they eat sports. Hell, they'd probably have sex with sports if they were equipped with the proper genitalia. But then again, maybe they've found a way. There's a frightening number of these people out there, and I think they're multiplying. All those sports bars erupting around the nation must be holding big sports orgies every weekend to be popping out so many new sports fans. Helmets and shin guards pro- vided, no condoms allowed. What's especially scary about all this is that there's nothing more obnoxious than a room full of sports fans. It's all spilled beer and hooting, the latest "important" game sand-blasting away brain cells with the soothing glow of televi- sion. They're like cavemen, stuffed into over-civilized clothes and try- ing to scare away a rival tribe with ritual grunting. Why do people care so much? It's not like they're personally in- volved. I mean, if somebody's actu- ally playing in a game, I can under- stand getting all moist about it But if you're just watching it on TV By the same token, I don't get the need sports fans feel to rag each other when somebody's favor- ite team loses. What's the deal, guys? It's not like your buddy per- sonally screwed up and lost the game. Why must you torment each other? Tell you what When you get off your butt and beat somebody at a sport personally, crow all you want But if you're merely a spec- tator, just keep your bloody mouth shut i And what is it with people who memorize statistics? Don't they have anything better to do with those brain cells? We might have a cure for cancer, or at least the com- mon cold, if so many otherwise- useful brain areas weren't filled up with sports trivia. There's a word for people like this: geek. That's right; geek. All you rabid sports fans out there, for all your alpha-male grunting and "cool" status, are geeks. Sports geeks.

That Stone would tackle a biog- raphy of Richard Milhouse Nixon, one of the most controversial politicians of the 20th century, was therefore no surprise. The three hour and 10 minute running time of Nixon follows in the footsteps of other Stone films, which usually run longer than 120 minutes. And the intense perfor- mances he coaxes from all cast mem- bers have now become expected from this master film maker. The only real surprise in the film is how sympa- thetic a portrait Mr. Stone paints of Mr. Nixon (played by Anthony Hopkins, an almost assured Oscar nominee). Nixon, the politician, had many memorable accomplishments and a good number of setbacks. Resigning from office in disgrace in 1974, Nixon managed to become a respected elder statesman during the last 20 years of his life. Nixon, the film, has many memorable scenes but a good deal of setbacks as well. After more than three hours of film time I really do not �?, i know much about the man who was Richard Nixon. I understand Richard Nixon, the politician, but not why the man became a politician. But the prob- lem of Nixon's character aside, Nixon, the film, scores a remarkable coup by helping to shed some light over the career of an accomplished politician. Stone tries to shed light on the man behind Richard Nixon by show- ing some boyhood scenes in a black and white format. Hannah Nixon (Mary Steenburgen), his mother, was a devout Quaker, who called her boys thee Richard rose from the humble beginnings of a poor lemon ranch farmer to become president of the See STONE page 9 Posing for the cameras, we have Bela Reck and the Flecktones (Future Man, Bela Fleck himself and Victor Wooten), who will be performing at Wright Auditorium tomorrow at 8 p.m. Jazzy bluegrass se to roll into Wright Brandon Waddell Assistant Lifestyle Editor "And then one day he was shootin' at some food and up from the ground came a bubblin' crude Oil that is Black gold, Texas tea the unmistak- able banjo theme music of the "Beverly Hillbillies" is difficult to forget Bela Fleck may have performed the theme music for the recent movie, but don't stereotype him as a straw hat wearing, tobacco chewing Jed Clampet In fact it's hard bo put Bela Fleck's music into any one category. Bela and his band, the Flecktones, have always made mu- sic that's too daring for any labels. They are the type of band who feels just as at ease playing bluegrass festi- vals, jazz festivals or opening for Blues Traveler. But their music mixes high tech, acoustic guitar, banjo and world beats into a singular music style unique to the Flecktones. Not exactly how one would describe the Clampets. Beia's adventurous music has not always been so easily accepted, though. As a young man growing up in New York City, he embraced jazz, and is a self- proclaimed Charlie Parker fanatic Bela plays the banjo, the most identifiable instrument of Dixieland and ragtime music So the jazz-fusion sound of the Flecktones is not one that many blue- grass fans find to be very blue or very grassy. But it has also been a struggle for Fleck to establish banjo in modern jazz. "I've just always loved jazz. 1 play the banjo. Most people get real excited when they hear the banjo playing jazz because they think it's something new, but really the banjo has roots in jazz and in some ways I'm bringing the banjo back to jazz Bela told TEC in a recent phone interview. At the tender age of 15, Fleck learned to play the banjo by listening to Charlie Parker albums. He said he hadn't been playing very long, but he learned some Parker leads and solos. It taught him much of the jazz vocabu- lary, though he wouldn't have a place to use it Afterward, Fleck played short stints in a few bluegrass bands such as Kentucky's Spectrum. But his passion for jazz quickly returned under the lead- ership of guitarist Pat Martino, who showed Fleck how to play his banjo in a jazz format When Bela formed the Flecktones in 1990, he was dismissed by members See FLECK page 10 Jtavce eetceca Vampires and bank robbers collide From Dusk Till Dawn Dale Williamson Senior Writer Robert Rodriguez, the man who brought the mythic Desperado to life, and Quintin Tarantino, the man you either love or despise, have joined forces yet again. But this time it's Rodriquez's over-the-top direction and Tarantino s in-your-face writing that tag team to create the ludicrous, but intensely fun, From Dusk Till Dawn . From Dusk Till Dawn starts out as disturbing crime film with Seth and Richard Gekko (George Clooney and Quintin Tarantino respectively) running for the Mexican border after robbing a bank and killing about 14 people. Along their journey, the Gekko brothers grab a faithless pastor (Harvey Keitel) and his two children, forcing the family to carry them to their destination. The first half of the film focuses on the dynamics between these very different and very disturbed charac- ters. However, when this traveling bunch reach their desti- nation in Mexico, the entire film takes a slight turn. While having drinks, and punching out Mexican bik- ers in a hellish bar known as "The Titty Twister our he- roes discover that they've landed in a vampire lair. This is the point of the film where you either accept things as they are and enjoy the ensuing jokes, or you just finish your poprom and leave. Both Rodriquez and Tarantino are pop culture junk- ies, particularly pop culture of the 70's, and their obses- sion with the past shines through within the walls of this vampire lair. Before the film is over, we get references to Peter Cushing, disco and Blackula. Getting the joke is what this whole film is about When Fred Williamson (in an awesome vampire killer role) be- See DAWN page 10 Noise Addict Meet The Real You Jay Myers Senior Writer TiriEJ Pd JT File photo Once, long ago, ECU police doubled as hard-working bike wranglers.

Reviews and Daniel on bass, were first noticed by Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) back in '92, who personally requested permission from the band to put out their first demo, DEF.

More and more indie rockers be- gan to fall in love with Noise Addict Early last year, Ben Lee released a solo album of amazing acoustic pop, Grandpaw Would, which sported such guest artists as Thurston Moore, Liz Phair, and Rebecca Gates (from the Spinanes). It was produced by the r mega-popular Brad Wood, who has worked on records by Liz Phair Veruca Salt and Sunny Day Real Es- tate. Wood returns as producer on Meet The Real You and his impact is readily apparent Gone are the jangly loose ends of Young and Jaded. Now Noise Addict sounds focused and in control. That's not necessarily a good thing in some cases, but it is here. Alternating between punkish ire ("Poison 1080") and pop exuberance , ("My Pathetic Friend"), Noise Addict plays with song structure like Play-r Doh - mushing, poking, and chew- ing it until it comes out in a pleasing colorful lump. To some "adults" that lump may seem to be disorganized and uncultured, but to other "kids" it is high art. Key to the whole mess are Ben. Lee's lyrics. They are the "thing" that. makes this record a true savory treat, On "The Frail Girl" Lee sings, "You'll cut out my heart and you'll do it to spite me You only like me cuz I'm in a band, but at least you like me .

It's not that young bands are anything new, despite what some music industry PR groups would have you believe. Come on, you're too smart to fall for that aren't you?

A stranger offered him $45 for the 3-foot-tall aluminum bird. It sur- prised Collins. Would other people pay for wire sculptures? Collins set to work. Most nights, after he quits repairing washers and dryers, he lets his imagination and his hands take over. He steadies a 2-foot strand of wire with needle-nosed pliers, loops the middle of the wire to form a man's head, then twists the two strands to make a torso with enough wire left over for legs, bent at the knees like a runner's. Collins calls it a hobby. Michael Gallis calls it folk art "This guy is one of the most cre- ative people I've ever seen said Gallis, an urban planner with a Scott Collins 9 12-foot aluminum shark hanging in his uptown Charlotte of- fice. "His art not only shows a skill, but also a desire to expr:s himself and his ideas. It comes right out of his soul Gallis is so smitten with Collins' creations, he commissioned a fighter piane to hang at CharlotteDouglas International Airport. "He can be one of the important folk artists in the country Gallis said. Collins, 45, has never heard of folk art, and he's not about to give up his day job any time soon. Repair- ing broken and junked appliances doesn't pay much. But it covers his $90-a-month rent for the brick shell of a building that he's filled at one end with a clutter of hoses, lint col- lectors, stove elements, and at the other end with an enchanting menag- erie of wire figures. The faces he creates have few features, yet they evoke expression: delight in the little boy riding his tri- cycle, desire in the man bringing flowers to his lady love, determina- tion in the man pushing a plow. Collins has ���� thought. She mentioned the hand- made sign to Collins. "Well, let me show you some- thing else he said, and led her to the back of the building where he sleeps on a sofa bed and displays his artwork on metal shelves, a coffee table and a television console. ���������- "I was never given much thought to what he does. Ask him how he makes a piece of scrap alu- minum come alive, and he answers matter-of-factly: "I fix it to look like they're moving parts. It ain't hard. I just make them He's soft-spoken, 6 feet 3 inches tall and slender, with large yet nimble hands. For 25 years, he carved wooden figures such as owls, mon- keys and alligators. More recently, he fashioned flowers from refrigerator parts. He gave away the pieces or tucked them on a shelf. "I was just doing it to be doing something he said. "I love making things. I love to see how they look. I love to watch them being created and see how they come out Not long after Collins twisted his first wire sculpture, the eagle, pianist E.R. McPhail of Gastonia stopped by his shop on Airline Avenue with a broken lamp and rug shampooer. The shop used to be a corner grocery store. It looks worn, outside and in, paint peeling off bricks. Bolted to the wall to the right of the door is the top of a washing machine. Open the lid, it reads "Closed Close the lid, it reads "Open What an imagination, McPhail "I fix it to look like they're moving parts. It ain't hard. I just make them � Scott Collins amazed that all that stuff was just sitting there McPhail says. "They seem so real. They're nothing but figurines and they don't even have faces, but you can feel their movement. I thought to myself, 'This man is not known. Gastonia should know him. North Carolina should know him " She told Collins: "You're wast- ing your talent "Ain't nobody going to buy that he told her. But he remem- bered the man who paid $45 for the eagle, and he allowed himself a little hope. y:Phail arranged for Collins to display his work at Gastonia's Arts Uptown and Fish Camp Jam festivals last year. People surrounded his table, Gallis among them. Gallis telephoned Collins a few days later to say he wanted the shark. That led to com- missions for a rooster for a restaurant, and then the airplane for the airport. Collins is now working on a pea- cock and another shark. "I can't quit he said. "The more I do, the more I want to do. I love making things.

The East Carolinian Tuesday, January 23,1996 maker walks the independent side of film : NEW YORK (AP) - When John Sayles started making movies, people weren't flocking to art-house cinemas, relatively few independent films were getting made and no Miramax was around to market them. So Sayles, the pioneering high priest, certainly knows what he's talk- ing about when he agrees these are heady times for independent filmmak- ers with small budgets. "Yeah, there's an interesting phe- nomenon happening he said during a recent telephone interview from his Hoboken, N J home. "If you talk to the people who run the Sundance Film Festival, the number of people with first features, the ones who are just coming from out of left field, the number of sub- missions has grown to 300400 a year - when it used to be dozens. The flip side of that is that a higher per- centage of them don't get a theatri- cal release Another positive change for small, independent movies is that ac- tors have discovered them, the 45- year-old filmmaker-author-actor said. "You can get very well-known actors working for half their usual price just because they want to be in something good he said. With the release 16 years ago of his first feature, "Return of the Secaucus Seven Sayles established himself as a leader of the American independent film movement After his 1980 debut as screen- writer-director, he went on to make "Lianna "Baby, It's You "The Brother From Another Planet "Matewan "Eight Men Out" "City of Hope and 1992's "Passion Fish which rereived two Academy Award nominations, including best original screenplay. Now out on video is "The Secret of Roan Inish which was well-re- ceived last year by critics and audi- ences. An enchanting fable set in Ire- land, it centers on a 10-yearold girl sent to live with her grandparents af- ter her mother's death. She starts hearing tales about how her baby brother, who got swept away by a wave, is still alive and sailing the seas in his boatlike cradle, and how her family is descended from a "Selkie a half-human, half-seal creature. And she longs for her homeland. "So many American movies are about moving on - road movies, or the way West or opportunity lying just over the next hill Sayles says. "But so many Irish stories are about missing home He also was intrigued by the storytelling tradition and oral history. "And I think to have that you have to have a traditional culture WZMB has an opening for PROMOTIONS DIRECTOR.

That's the reason he set the movie in the late 1940s - the girl has only imagination to rely on, since she's never seen a movie or TV show. "I think now there isn't any oral tradition. We have a media tradition he said. Now, when old friends and fam- ily get together, they're as likely to talk about old "Twilight Zone" epi- sodes or "The Brady Bunch" as remi- nisce about old times, he said. Sayles' next film will be yet an- other departure for him: "Lone Star about a Texas sheriff investigating a 37-year-old murder case - with his own father as the prime suspect "I'm interested in not so much what 1 think about something, but in seeing things through someone else's perspective, and that's part of the rea- son my stories are so different he has said.

"A lot of different people live with each other, not only in terms of toler- ating each other but also liking the mix said Christophersen. But customers also include people like grandmother Rita Roth, who at- tends a monthly women's book-discus- sion group at the store. "I try to sup- port women entrepreneurs she said Next door, at WomanWild, own- ers Nancy Perrone and Janet Soule offer gifts made solely by women art- ists - pottery, stained glass, jewelry, candles and the like.

It was settled by Swedes moving north after the Chicago fire in 1871 and named for a local farmer, John Anderson. About 25 years ago, several Middle Eastern businesses began locating there. Today, both ethnic groups are prominent along with Japanese, Ital- ian and Filipino eateries. The Landmark, a cooperative of 18 shops - all but one owned by women � helped pave the way for women entrepreneurs when it opened in 1987. That same night two other women-owned businesses opened nearby. The history of the artsy Kopi - A Traveler's Cafe, is a story in itself. It opened in 1991 after two women on a backpacking trip in Southeast Asia met a third woman from Andersonville. The trio decided to open a cof- feehouse with a travel theme where people could buy maps and travel books, find destination points on globes and check the time in far-away places like Timbuktu by glancing at wall clocks. They took out a $12,000 loan, named the business "Kopi" - coffee in Indonesia - and paid off the loan in six months. "The whole idea behind Kopi is we don't see sexual preference, race, culture or religion said Rhonda Welbel, one of the two remaining own- ers. "We look at this neighborhood as open to everyone Says Landmark building owner Jan Baxter "There is something in the water that grows strong women Others say Andersonville is so welcoming to women because of its Scandinavian roots and multiethnic history. "Here we have people from ev- ery corner of the world said Swed- ish immigrant Kurt Mathiasson, owner of Svea Restaurant Even businessmen whose native lands have yet to embrace sexual equality seem comfortable with their female counterparts. "It's America, and it's the land of liberty said Reza Toulabi, the Per- sian owner of the popular Reza's Res- taurant which is packed on weekends with customers of every ethnic origin. Every few months a group of about 50 to 60 Persian women meet there to discuss the society. "They talk about anything Toulabi said. STONE from page 7 United States. While most parents at some time hold on to the slim hope of their child becoming president, Nixon's parents seemed to do no such thing. Nixon only went to law school because his older brother died. The black and while flashback scenes are only some of the various types of images created in Nixon. Newsreel footage, television footage and other black and white shots oc- cur throughout the film. Oliver Stone has mastered the art of using differ- ent film stock to create a mufti-dimen- sional film. He uses different types of film the way Sergei Eisenstein, the great Russian filmmaker, used mon- tage. The multi-media approach fa- vored by Stone may well become his trademark, a technique studied by film students in the future. Stone assembles a first rate cast to fill the roles of all the president's men and women. Most notable is Joan Allen, who creates a completely sym- pathetic Pat Nixon. The audience grows to understand more about her than about her husband because she is always concerned about real life, whereas her husband is always fo- cused on his political life. Allen gives a finely modulated performance that could have easily led to hysterics in several scenes. When Pat asks for a divorce, Ms. Allen calmly allows the request to fall in the middle of the room rather than create a commotion. Her acting in this one scene is enough to guarantee her a shot at an Academy Award. James Woods stands tall among the presidential advisors as H.R. Haldeman. Woods commands the screen and makes the audience feel the mixture of respect fear and worry that came from being so close Nixon. J.T. Walsh as John Erlichman, David Hyde Pierce as John Dean and Paul Sorvino as Henry Kissinger all make believable portrayals. Bob Hoskins gives a creepy performance as J. Edgar Hoover and Madeline Kahn gives a neurotic performance as Mrs. John Mitchell. Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Nixon is sheer acting genius. Though Hopkins could not pass as Nixon's double, the mannerisms are identical. And Hopkins gives Nixon more life than the American public saw while watching Nixon on television. With slumped shoulders, arms raised in air with two fingers on each hand ex- tended, Hopkins embodies Richard Nixon. Hopkins portrays Nixon as gruff, tempermental and ultimately insecure. The person with whom I watched Nixon complimented Stone on giving enough information so that someone who knew little about the Nixon staff could still follow all the plot twists and turns, especially concerning Watergate. At the same time, Stone did not insult the intelligence of those who know a little more about the Nixon presidency and Watergate. Nixon stands alongside the great political stories told in All the President's Men (by Woodward and Bernstein) and Blind Ambition (by John Dean). The film tells yet another side of the story of the Watergate scandal, which encapsulates the life of Richard Milhouse Nixon. Oliver Stone has stepped into the middle of another controversial subject and given another enjoyable, if biased, history lesson. At his core, Stone is a teacher who wants to learn by mak- ing films. I'm sure glad he likes to make them because I like to watch them.

Whether it's Star Trek, comic books, math, stamps, computers or the NFL, we are geeks one and all. Welcome to the club. The question now, of course, is what makes you so special? What makes sports geeks so much more important than the rest of us geeks that your personal obsession can eclipse everybody else's? Why, for example, do 1 have to watch sports scores clutter up the screen 24-7 on Headline News? Couldn't that space be better-used to give us a running count of how many trees are left in the Rain Forest? Make the environmental geeks happy for a change. Or how about keeping us up to date on the death toll in Bosnia or any of the other wars being waged around the globe? Hourly body counts, up to the minute coverage on who's winning and who's losing the world-wide contest between freedom and oppression. Now, that's news. Morbid? Maybe, but at least it would be something that actually tra 10 minutes to solve a particularly bizarre or complicated case? Hell, no! They've got to solve their problems in an hour, or they don't get solved at all. They can't play a football game in under three hours? Too bad! Cut em off! To hell with them if they can't work under a deadline. Okay, so maybe I'm being a little unreasonable. Maybe, since sports take place in messy reality, they can't be expected to wrap things up under deadline every time. So what if I can change the oil in my car and give it a tune-up in less time? I understand, really. Some geeks require special at- tention. And sports geeks seem to require so much special attention that we of- ten forget they're geeks. There are so many of them, in fact, that we've started to see them as something to emulate. But they're still geeks. So I've got some advice for all you sports geeks out there (those of you who haven't already hurled the paper across the room, football-like, in your rage). Think of it the next time DAWN from page 7 gins to narrate the horrors of his Viet- nam experience, we are meant to laugh. Rodriquez and Tarantino con- tinually play on such movie cliches to hilarious effect. Still. Dusk is not a happy kind of comedy. It is an extremely violent, corpse-ridden buffet People suffer grotesque deaths, as do the vampires. While some may gripe about the ex- cessive violence that seeps through- out this film, this is a movie working within the horror genre, and horror is not known for making one feel com- fortable. Technically. Dusk is top-notch stuff. Rodriguez's visual flair almost captures the sweat of the Mexican heat and the bitter taste of the warm beer. For the most part, the cast is per- fect. George Clooney carries a glisten- ing presence that makes his repulsive character somewhat attractive. Juliet Lewis, as the pastor's daughter, cap- tures perfectly the transformation of a young girl as she descends from in- nocence into experience. Salma Hayek is a definite physical presence, despite her lack of actual dialogue and Harvey Keitel gives a wonderful, subtle per- formance as a man who struggles with his lost faith in God. The only weak link in the act- ing chain, unfortunately, is Tarantino. Sure, he's playing a char- acter he's suited for. but he is not an actor with enough substance to layer the necessary edge onto the charac- ter. I'm sure Rodriquez and Tarantino are going to take a flog- ging for this film. From Dusk Till Dawn is a film for anyone who's will- ing to throw reality and sensibility out the window for a little while. If you come in to the theater expect- ing a serious dose of reality, you're going to be disgusted. For reality, go see Seven again. For an all-out vam- pire orgy. From Dusk Till Dawn tastes just right. On a scale of one to 10, this film rates an eight. FLECK from page 7 of the jazz community as some type of hoax, but today musicians such as Branford Marsalis and Bruce Hornsby are among Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' biggest fans. The Flecktones feature Bela Fleck on electric banjo. Victor Wooten on elec- tric hass and Future Man on his own invention, the SynthAxe drumitar. They are currently supporting their newest release Tales from the Acoustic Planet. which is not one of those over-produced studio creations. The band sat in the same room together and learned songs on the spot "It's a very earthy record.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are set to play Wright Auditorium tomor- row at 8 p.m. as part of the ongoing "An Evening With series. Tickets for the show are $8 for students. $12 for the general public and $10 for faculty and staff. Don't come into Wright expecting a hillbilly banjo player and a couple of guys blowing across the tops of jugs which read only "XXX The Flecktones' funky bass and jazz background give them the foundation for their improvi- sational blend of bluegrass and jazz fusion.

All the vapid, self-indulgence and all the lack of self-conf idence that puberty can bring to the surface is right there, shown to us by the very perceptive Lee.

That is what you could say about the men's basketball game against Old Domin- ion. Saturday night's game would prove to be a big victory for the Pi- rates who now extend their unde- feated home record to 7-0. After the 72-67 victory over the Monarchs, ECU is now 3-2 in the CAA and 10-4 overall. This was the 32nd meeting be- tween the two schools With ODU holding a 25-6 series advantage be- fore the game. ODU was picked to finish first in the preseason CAA poll, and before coming to Greenville they were undefeated in the conference. ODU won the tip-off but it was the Pirates who took control early. ECU started their scoring drive with two Tim Basham three pointer? For the next two minutes ODU didn't have any answers for the Pirates' points, and ECU went on to build a 124 lead. ODU finally scored after a Joe Bunn lay up. After a Von Bryant slam dunk that sent the crowd into a frenzy, ECU was up 14-6, but then ODU slowly made their way back. Mark Poag, a freshman for the Monarchs, lit up their scoring drive and put them right back into the game. At the 9:27 mark the score was tied 18-18. ODU took a short lived lead after a Bryant blocking foul that sent ODU's big man, Odell Hodge, to the line. Hodge made the two shots, and the Pirates were down 18- 20. But from there the Pirates did not look back. Jonathan Kerner tied ECU 22FCODU 24 44FCA58 43PTFC5 93 PT FGA19 24FT14 32FTA20 39REBOUNDS25 72SCORE67 :MHHBBHHm the ball game again at 20-20. However, after Basham's and Othello Meadow's three pointers, the lead was back to six with a little less than seven min- utes in the first half.

ECU's SPORTS INFORMATION NEMttTMFM 3 SID - ECU's swimming and diving squads moved to a 4-0 in the CAA with a sweep of the Univer- sity of Richmond Saturday after- noon in Richmond, Va. The men's 129-106 win gives them a 7-2 over- all record, while the women now stand at 8-1 overall after their 127- 110 win. For the men, newcomer Rich- ard Chen had two wins, while sophomore Stephen Barnes added two more. Chen placed first in the 200 Free (1:48.39) and the 200 Fly (1:57.21). Barnes won both the one meter and three meter diving events with scores of 247.575 and Don't 274.125, consecutively.

Teammate Mackwood led the sprint freestyies with her wins in the 50 Free (24.88) and the 100 Free (52.75). "It seems that both our teams have been able to come back from Christmas break without losing their motivation said Head Coach Rick Kobe. "The vacation hasn't nega- tively affected their speed, they're' just getting faster and faster the closer we get to the Conference (championships) Results are also in from the swim meet two weekends ago against American. Due to inclem- ent weather American never made the trip to Greenville, but both squads still swam and faxed each other the results. Both squads de- feated American. The men posted a 104-101 win while the women won 120-82.

ECU would take their half-time lead and extend it in the second half Less than a minute into the game Meadows was fouled outside the arch and was given three foul shots. Af- ter nailing all the free throws, ECU was ahead 39-26. From there the lead would fluctuate up and down, but the Pirates still were in the drivers seat. The biggest lead was 16 points after a Rippey foul shot, but the Mon- archs weren't ready to give up yet. ECU's lead was cut to one point af- ter a Meadows foul that put ODU's Brion Dunlap to the line. Dunlap made his shot and ECU took one last time out. SeeB BALI page 13 We've got spirit!

Brazilian basketball team to train at Minges Erlka Leigh Hamby Staff Writer It is already 1996 and the Olym- pics are drawing near and they are a lot closer to Greenville than most people realize. ECU has been given the honor of hosting the Brazilian Olympic basketball team as they prepare for the Olympic games in Atlanta. The decision to bring the team here was essentially made by the chancellor, but the staff of the Re- gional Development Center first brought the idea to the front. Mr. Al Delia, the associate vice chancel- lor of regional development, inter- acts closely with the state depart- ment of commerce, and the com- merce personnel mentioned to him that they were trying to bring Olym- pic teams here to North Carolina. "We're very pleased, because Brazil has been an international power in basketball Delia said.

They fo- had to offer to teams who might con- cused their attention on the weight sider using ECUs' facility as a train- ing site. This in- formation ended up in the hands of Mr. Raimundo Azevedo, who represents the Brazilian team, and he decided to check out the campus. A number of teams will be coming to N.C. in preparation for the Olympics. One example is the United States track team, who will be training at UNC-Chapel Hill. ECU beat out contenders Duke, N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill for the privilege to host the Brazilians. rooms, sports medicine facili- ties, residence halls and dining facilities. They were particularly impressed that ECU had so much to offer, yet all of the fa- cilities were close enough to each other that they would not lose large amounts of time traveling to each building. Azevedo also commented that Greenville was the perfect size town because there are enough places to See BRAZIL page 12 "We're very pleased, because Brazil has been an international power in basketball � Mr. Al Delia, associate vice chancellor Photo by PATRICK IRELAN Laurie Ashenfelder (23) sets a pick for teammate Justine Allpress (3) to get around and drive to the basketball.The Lady Pirate's lost to the 15th ranked team in the country on Friday. New coach takes on old team Amanda Ross Sports Editor The ECU women's basketball team gave a hard fought effort against the number 15 team in the country, but still came up short. The Lady Pi- rates fell to the Lady Monarchs 75-56. Fri- day night's game against Old Domin- ion was special for more than one rea- son. Head Coach Anne Donovan was an ail-American at ODU in her college playing years and served as the Mon- archs assistant from '8995. Donovan helped recruit many of the players on the Monarch team, and Friday night her new team was battling against her old team. ODU's Head Coach Wendy Larry, had never coached on opposite sides of the court against Donovan. "I think it's kind of interesting to coach against her. because 1 think our teams in a lot of respects have similar styles Larry said. "They play real solid, aggressive defense.

ODU won the tip-off. but the Lady Pirates scored first after a Tomekia Blackmon shot in the lane. That put ECU ahead 2-0, and would prove to be the only time the Lady Pirate's would lead. At the 15:18 mark Donovan called a time out, seeing her Lady Pirate's down 6-11. Af- ter the time out, Shay Hayes cut ODU's lead to 8-11 after a 3' jumper. This was Hayes' third start of the sea- son replacing Tracey Kelley. who is out in- definitely after suffer- ing a bruised larynx in a collision at the American game Jan. 14. Starter Belinda Cagle was also out with an injury. In an early week practice Cagle re-injured her left shoulder, an injury that has been bothering her since last See COACH page 12 12 Tuesday, January 23,1996 The East Carolinian COACH from page 11 season. Laurie Ashenfelder got her second start of the season in Cagle's place. Donovan knows how important it is to have her starters healthy and in the game. "I think it the injuries hurts us a great deal, in particular in the paint" Donovan said. The Lady Pirate's biggest deficit was 19 points, but after another time- out ECU came roaring lack with nine unanswered points. Five of those points came from Justine Allpress and four from Blackmon. ECU went into the locker room down 26-36. Blackmon led the Lady Pirates with 14 points and three re- bounds, while Allpress had six points and Hayes contributed four. The Lady Pirates continue to improve from the free throw line with each game. Posting an .857 percent- age for the first half, the Lady Pirates missed one free throw and went 6-7. ODU shot .250 and went 1-4 from the line. "We've been concentrating a lot on free throws Allpress said. "Once you get to the foul line you have to execute and you have to put it down. That's what we've been trying to do The second half was bleak for ECU. The Lady Pirates struggled to get their offense together and turn- overs plagued ECU. ECU had 35 turnovers for the game, while ODU had 20. That was something that really hurt for ECU. "You cannot not talk about the turnovers Donovan said. "With 18 at half-time and 35 for the game there is no way you can not bring that up as something huge in the game "You cant be satisfied when you have as many turnovers as we did Allpress added. "We turn the ball over ourselves, it wasn't necessarily ODU's defense ODU came out quickly and scored, and ECU didn't get a shot off until the 17:27 mark, off an Allpress jumper. The scoring for the Lady Pi- rates came slowly at first, but eventu- ally they began to get into the swing of things. But with every shot the Lady Pi- rates wouid make, ODU came back and matched their shots. The Lady Monarchs three biggest leads were 26 points each in the second half. ECU, eventually cut that lead down to 17 in the final moments of the game, but just could not overcome ODU's tall back court "They definitely had a big height advantage on us Allpress added. ODU had five players over six feet tall who played, while ECU had only one over six feet that being freshman Beth Jaynes. With Kelley and Cagle out the Lady Pirates were limited with their size. The Lady Pirate's never backed down, however, and continued to play hard even when things weren't going their way. ECU lost the contest by 19 points, but they did hustle and play r till the end. P "From the team's point of view I'm semi-satisfied Allpress said. "We played hard and we stuck with it and didn't give up. We played through to the end Donovan believes her players stuck with what they had hoped to accomplish. "1 think 98 percent we followed the game plan Donovan stated. "Our l goal was to take away the paint and if we gave up anything it was the pe- rimeter Allpress led all scorers with 20 points and seven rebounds. Blackmon added 16 points and had a tremen- dous game, despite having a death in her family earlier in the week. Hayes and Jaynes each contributed eight points. The loss drops ECU to 14 in the CAA and 5-8 overall. The Lady Pirates will be on the road this Friday against William & Mary.

The Regional Devleopment staff had little time to prepare for the visit from the Brazilian staff. Team rep- resentatives were impressed with how well the staff of ECU performed on such short notice. The team will arrive around the Fourth of July and will be housed in either Slay or Umstead. They will spend a little over a week training and preparing for the games in At- lanta. There is the possibility of one or more exhibition games being played in Williams Arena while they are here. Around July 17, the Bra- zilians are expected to leave and travel to Atlanta for the actual games. The school does not expect to make any kind of profit from the team training here and is not charg- ing any fees for the use of the facili- ties. However, if an exhibition game were to be played, any profit made from the game would be shared with the Brazilian team. ECU is hosting the Brazilian team mainly to be a good neighbor and a good representative of the United States and North Carolina. The Brazilian team's choice of ECU has brought the school to the atten- tion of other teams, especially teams interested in basketball facilities. Although ECU wants to be hos- pitable, Delia said that too many teams on campus could possibly in- terfere with the students who will be here for summer school. Right now the development center is only considering having two teams on campus, with 10 to 15 members on each team. "It is an honor for them to choose ECU Delia added.

"I was reminded of the great fans we have out here The Cowboys seemingly have them everywhere. It didn't seem to matter to anyone that the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers weren't around yet; they arrive to- day. Some people, particularly the oddsmakers who have the Steelers as 13-point underdogs, apparently wonder if they should show up at all. For one day, at least, the Cow- boys certainly were enough. Secu- rity was tight and few fans slipped through into the mountainside ho- tel housing America's Team. Still, the airport greeting made it clear this also is Arizona's Team - at least in this Super Bowl.

Kerner put ECU ahead by three after making both his free throws. Poag tried to get ODU back in the game with a last minute attempt, but the off balanced shot wouldn't fall. With two seconds left, Basham was fouled and nailed his two free throws and sent ODU home with their first CAA loss. Head Coach Joe Dooley knew this wouldn't be an easy game, and when it came down to the end he had confi- dence in his players. "There are times when you think they (the players) are going to hang their heads and they don't Dooley said. "They just come back and keep fighting and there is a lot of things to learn and it makes it a lot easier to learn when vou win Second year Head Coach Jeff Capel knew his players didn't play up to their potential, and that ECU took advantage of that "East Carolina played a very good basketball game Capel said. "I thought they really competed on a high level Basham ended the night with 17 points, while Kerner added 14 points and 10 rebounds. Meadows finished with 11, Bryant with 10 and Rippey with seven. "All the credit has to go to East Carolina, they deserved to win Capel added. Hodge, who is ODU's leading scorer, finished with only seven points. Shutting him down was a big part of the Pirate's victory. "We were fortunate tonight he didn't have a big night, and he has had big nights against us historically Dooley added. Tony Parham, a key player for ECU, had an off night due to hip in- jury. Despite playing 28 minutes, Parham only scored two points, but did have four rebounds and four as- sists. For Parham, it was hard to come in and out of the game and play only a few minutes at a time. "Basically what I was trying to do when I was coming in and out was do what was best for the team Parham said. "I knew I would be lim- ited in some things I could do, but I know one thing I can do is run the offense Junior guard transfer Morris Grooms, who came off the bench and provided the Pirates with five points, is continuing to improve with each game. Grooms saw 20 minutes of play- ing time and along with five points he had three assists, one block and four rebounds. "Mo did a lot of nice things and he does a lot of things to help us Dooley said. "He's just a guy who gives us a quick pick-up, and he did once again tonight" The attendance for the game was 6,735, and that made for a tough at- mosphere for the Monarch. "This is one of the toughest places in the league to play Capel said. "The fans are great and they get on you. 1 hear everything they are saying and what they say is meant to inspire the team and they are not de- rogatory ECU'S next contest will be tomor- row night against Richmond.

"When I heard Phoenix got a Super Bowl, 1 knew I'd have a chance to be in it with this team Woodson said. "It's almost like a homecoming for us when we play the Cardinals and hear our fans. It's almost a homefield edge, and our fans make a lot of noise. "We know this stadium. We've been here every year and we're 6-2 here Not that returning home for a Super Bowl is easy for Woodson, who has been bombarded by ticket requests. "It's a good feeling he admit- ted. "There is more pressure, with my family and friends I'm hear- ing from cousins from way, way back Getting here early might be a wise move. While the Steelers check in and then almost immediately have to meet the media, the Cowboys get a chance to kick back, do a little so- cializing and, well, play the role of rock star. Which, at least in the cases of Troy, Emmitt, Michael and Deion - do we really need surnames? - seems apropos. "I think the Super Bowl is al- ways a new experience, no matter when or where or who you play said fullback Daryl Johnston, hardly a media megastar but one of the best players at his position in the game. "Because of what we get in Dallas, all the attention there and every- where we go. we might be more used to it. "But we all realize the main purpose of being here, and I don't think any of the players will be dis- tracted or misled. They know we have a lot of unfinished work. I don't think we have to worry about our guys being in awe or thinking this is a big party The Super Bowl has been a blast for the NFC since 1984. Eleven straight victories and counting. It's a legacy the S elers aren't a part of - they're 4-0 in the title game, but haven't gotten this far since the 1979 season. That AFC slide is another bur- den the Steelers carry with them when they get off the plane today. And when they are queried about it all week. And, of course, when they take the field at Sun Devil Stadium. "We realize at some point the AFC is going to win them Troy Aikman said. "We just hope it's not this year.
