Employee resigns following arrest Universtiy hiring policy may need adjustment Amy L. Royster Staff Writer A university employee resigned this month after being arrested and charged with taking indecent liberties with a child. Ronald Finnegan, 31. worked for ECU as a maintenance mechanic for approximately one year. On Jan. 16, Finnegan was indicted for taking inde- cent liberties with a child. The offense allegedly occurred in July of 1995 against a child under the age of 16. Personnel employee Joan Taylor said Finnegan resigned from his posi- tion in a letter without stating a rea- son. According to records in the Crimi- nal Department at the Pitt County Courthouse, a felony fugitive warrant from another state was dismissed on Nov. 15, 1991. Director of Housing Manny Amaro said that Finnegan's work behavior did not correlate to his alleged criminal behavior. "It's really disturbing. Finnegan was a model employee Amaro said. "He went far beyond just work every- day. People are heart-stricken that this happened Amaro said that Finnegan was interviewed and the references he gave on his application were investigated be- fore he was hired. "We do check in-state criminal records but we need to check records across the coun- try. That way we would have known about his prior his- tory Amaro said. "We need a university policy now that this type ot mtormation is available m a central- ized computer Amaro said.

Textile professor hosts student workshops, lecture Surface design techniques, finished works will be shown Sharon Franklin Staff Writer We expect works of art to hang on a wall or perch on a pedestal, but a certain professor's radiantly hued silks glide across the skin like a whisper. Jason Pollen, professor of tex- tiles at Kansas City Art Institute and president of the National Surface Design Association, is on campus this week to demonstrate his tech- niques in a series of student work- shops and a public lecture. The lecture is tonight at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Jenkins Art Center. The lecture will include a slide show that demonstrates both the techniques of surface design and examples of finished works. The workshop participants, lim- ited to textile arts majors, are learn- ing the dye and fusing methods of applying surface designs to silk. Any- one wishing to observe and listen is welcome to attend the final session on Friday afternoon.

The program was brought to the attention of ECU's Panhellenic rep- resentatives last March during their Southeastern Panhellenic Confer- ence. Panhellenic set up a rough draft with the improving suggestions of Chief Charles Hinman, Captain J.E. Ennis and Major Joseph Simonowich. To add a few legal sug- gestions, Blaire Carr, the Greenville Police Department lawyer, assisted in making the rough draft. "I am very excited about this program Carr said. "Obviously ECU makes up a large portion of Greenville and Pitt County. We are more than happy to foster a posi- tive liaison between the police de- partment and the campus. The of- ficers have interpreted the program from females being targeted and being at a greater risk of crimes The Adopt-A-Cop program is de- signed to be an educational oppor- tunity for both sororities and the po- lice.

Course pays off Debra Byrne Staff Writer A non-credit course on how to make your money last is being offered through the School of Business and Professional Programs. The course started up again this past Monday and is being taught by Dr. Joseph Kiely, a finance professor. Investment Strategies for the 90s is a course that is being held on six consecutive Monday evenings from 6:30-9:30. The course is being offered in two phases. Phase I is for ages 45 and under and began on January 22. Phase II is for ages over 45 and will begin on March 11. This course is being held in the General Classroom Building, room 1028. There are no qualifications needed to sign up for this course. The purpose for the two phases is that the class is geared toward two differ- ent groups- young professionals that want to invest in their futures and possibly even the futures of their children and older couples looking toward retirement. This course will focus on the immediate concerns of the two groups. Suzy Mozer, a graduate assistant in Professional Programs said that not many students are interested in taking this course because it is ca- tered more towards those who currently have income. "About 30-50 percent of the attendants are faculty Mozer said. "Some graduate students do attend, however traditionally aged students usually do not. This class is open to the general public and no one should feel excluded This is the second year in which this course is being held. It is of- fered every semester, this being the fourth.

The 19-yearold computer science major was found dead in his room in Wolpers Hall at the University of MissourhColumbia (MU) on Oct. 31. Berrey died of an overdose of diphenhydromine, according to a toxicology report released by the Office of the Medical Examiner. How the chemical got into Berrey's body is still under investigation by the MU police and the medical examiner.

At this rate she will pay back about a tenth of the more than half a million dollars she embezzled from the university. Tutin served about one year in prison after being convicted of stealing $666,776 from MU during her employment with the graduate studies program. But Tutin will have to make partial financial retribution for her crime, a probation officer said, under the terms of the release, Tutin must perform 500 hours of community service and pay the university $50 a month during her three years of federal probation. Tutin has paid the $80,000 the court ordered her to give the university, leaving an unpaid amount of more than $580,000 at the end of the three-year probation period.

Stephanie Ann Eaton Staff Writer A team of six students from the construction management de- partment showed ECU was a forced to be reckoned with at a competition sponsored by the As- sociated School of Construction Southeast Region in Atlanta, Geor- gia on Nov. 17. These students took part in a 12-hour construction estimating competition. The objective of the contest was for the students to pre- pare a presentation for a $1.1 mil- lion project to sell. The students were given only 12 hours to pre pare the project. ECU competed against eight other schools. Schools attending the competition were Ciemson, Auborn, University of Florida. Uni- versity of North Florida, Southern Tech and VPI. When the competition was over ECU walked away with an Honorable Mention. "We actually tied for third Yale's Teaching Assistants shut out but we lost the coin toss said Dr. Douglas W. Krugar, chair of the construction management depart- ment. This was ECU's first time com- peting in this competition. The six students who competed raised the money to compete in this compe- tition and also received donations from local area businesses. The victory in Atlanta allowed ECU to compete nationally at the National Home Builders Conven- tion in Houston, Texas. The com- petition is taking place today. The students were given a few weeks to put together a $114 million project. Their objectives for this competition was to estimate utili- ties, discuss landscaping, financ- ing, determine where to put roads in and vast amount of other dif- ferent topics. "I expect the students to do very well at the national competi- tion Kruger said. The six students representing ECU were Dante Berini, Jason Ellington, Chris Edwards, Brian Relay, Mike Zurey and Heather Banks. The faculty coach was Jim Kennedy. "I think this is a very good or- ganization for students to get in- volved in Kruger said. "It gives students a chance to grow in their profession. It allows them to use their skills. The national competi- tion will give them the opportu- nity to talk to over 1,000 home builders from all over the United States (CPS) - Yale teaching assistants have decided to call a halt to a grade strike rather than lose their spring semester teaching jobs. At noon Jan. 15, the first day of spring semester, the teaching assis- tants turned in the grades they had been withholding as part of their fight to unionize. Since December, nearly 200 teaching assistants have withheld fall semester grades to force Yale to recognize their union, the Graduate Employees Student Organization (GESO). "Rather than attempt to come to some kind of agreement with gradu- ate teachers, the administration and individual faculty members have threatened striking TAs with disciplin- ary hearings, with expulsion, with lock-out and with their academic ca- reers wrote Robin L. Brown, chair of the GESO in a letter to Yale Presi- dent Richard C. Levin. "Facing the prospect of losing an entire semester's worth of income, striking graduate teachers have voted to hand in our grades at noon Jan. 151 so as to se- cure our teaching positions for the coming term Earlier in the month. Levin in- formed Tas by letter that a failure to turn in grades would mean a loss of teaching jobs for the spring semester.

Graduate teaching assistants contend that they are at the poverty line and want to form a union to ensure bet- ter working conditions.

On Jan. 10, graduate teaching assistants marched outside the school's Hall of Graduate Studies, wearing signs that said, "Stop Intimi- dation.

"there is a minority of graduate students that wish to be considered employees of the university said Yale Spokesman Thomas Conroy. "The uni- versity rejects that notion. It doesn't make any differ- ence how the stu- dents reflect their opinion Disciplinary hearings for the three students were set to take place Jan. 10 in the Hall of Graduate Stud- ies, but were moved to an undisclosed location when the administration heard about the planned protest Debbie Epstein, a professor of women's studies at the University of London, flew in to support daughter Diane Paton during her hearing and spoke at the protest "I'm proud of Diane Epstein said. "If more members of the Yale administration had her sense of integ- rity and courage, we wouldn't be here Epstein called the grad strike "a really good action that fulfills all your responsibilities to the students. It just doesn't provide administration with the grades they want She ques- tioned why three women - one of whom is African Ameri- can, the other two who are non-citizens - have been singled out. The administration, she said, has picked on people who tra- ditionally have ��� marginal rights in society "to intimidate the others The committee found Paton guilty of "disrupting university busi- ness" and "refusal to obey an order issued in the line of duty by a faculty member A letter of reprimand has been placed in her file, and Paton is If you go on strike, you expect to lose pay. To use academic retribution is crossing the line � Lafer of the Federation of Union Employees barred from teaching for the spring semester. "She came to Yale with a lot of high hopes Epstein said. "She's very anxious and nervous about what this means to her career, but that isn't stopping her from doing the right thing Although the students paper, the Yale Daily News, opposes the grade strike, Yale's two employee unions, representing clerical workers, techni- cians, dining hall, custodial and main- tenance workers have shown their support Robert Proto, president of the university's union for service and maintenance employees, was arrested during the protest. "Yale could never treat us the way they treat these teachers - because we have a union. We will stick by GESO for as long as it takes Proto said. If they succeed in unionizing, Yale teaching assistants would belong to the first such labor group at a major Ameri- can private college. Only a handful of public schools, including the Univer- sity of Wisconsin and the University of California-Berkley, have allowed graduate students to unionize.

The two major construction sites that have been "beautifying" our campus for so long now just won't go away. Delay after delay has hit the projects, and they're lingering like a stray dog around the west end of campus. Many of us are beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the new library or rec center reach completion. The university must be tired of hearing us bitch about this stuff by now, and quite frankly, we're tired of bitching about it When the rec center plans were first announced, debate raged over whether or not we really needed it That didn't matter, we were told. We were getting it whether we needed it or not Whether we wanted it or not Besides, we were told, it would be great in some vague way. And since it was going to be paid out of money that was stockpiled just to build it we the students wouldn't have to lay out one thin dime for its construc- tion. So we didn't have a right to bitch. That was more than two years ago and at least that many con- tractors ago, and the damn thing's still unfinished. There have been unforeseen delays, we've been told. The weather, a constant nag- ging pain here in Greenville, has held up construction. That's cool; that's understandable. Of course, it probably doesn't help out that every contractor we do business with seems to go belly-up within a year of inking the deal. It's like there's a curse on this place or something. But that's also understandable; the university couldn't foresee the bad busi- ness sense of others. Neither can we really expect them to be aware of all the gypsy curses flying against the school. And construction always takes longer than originally planned. Problems like bad weather, poor business sense and curses arise all the time to delay the swift completion of large buildings. We've all seen the movies. But if you look downtown, you'll discover that the city of Greenville has built a new fire and police headquarters complex. It was started well after the rec center construction, and our dedi- cated public servants are alreadv moved into their new home. It sits not more than five or six blocks from the rec center, too. Which makes us wonder how much of a problem the weather has really been this past year. And then there's the matter of all that money that was laid aside for construction. Apparently, the university has been augment- ing that cash with a percentage of our student fees. How large of a percentage? Well, TEC called the Cashier's of- fice to nail down that figure, we were told to call the rec center for that information. Yes, we were told to call the non-operational, partially con- structed rec center. We'd be surprised if they had the indoor plumb- ing ready to go in that place, much less a functional office. The secretary's would Je running around in hard hats, for God's sake! Anyway, there are some obvious problems surrounding our cam- pus beautification projects, and we here at TEC just thought you'd like to know. Construction. Sigh. Some ECU graduates may endure four years of construction and never use the facilities they helped pay for. Healthy habits eat students Understanding our bodies is an important element in leading a healthy lifestyle. Students stuggle with the pres- sures of college life - eating healthy and exercise is far from toppriority for many. We are too stressed, rushed, tired from studying or partying last night to worry about what we stuff into our bod- ies before class. This is a major problem on campus, and I must admit that I am guilty. My resolution for this year is to treat my body better than I have in the past I would like to forget the bad hab- its of late night pizza from Papa Olivers, greasy Chinese food, many Burger King breakfasts on the run and especially too many servings of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. I am getting tempted right this second, control, I just need some solid willpower. The results of this "en- ergy" food from the past has taken its toll on my body. I look and feel great No, truthfully, I feel worn down and my jeans are too tight I know I am not alone in this stuggle to eat right and exercise the buldge away. Everywhere people look these days, magazines, billboards and obnox- ious television advertisements scream at us lazy Americans to get off our couches and eat their products and workout with Nordic Track, or any num- ber of those gadget that look like mod- ern torture chambers. Sure, they make it look so darn easy, and do you ever see a heavy person on those ads? No, never. The model is slim, gorgeous, tan and looks so happy doing her little tricks in front of millions of viewers who are sitting on their butts watching. I know exercise is important and I try my best to keep myself on an exer- cise regimine, and eat well, but my good intentions do not always keep me mo- tivated. Society puts young people uner enormous pressure to fit in. Jennifer Hunt Opinion Columnist There's one way to look, one way to be: ultraslim and ultratoned � ,�!� There's one way to look, one way to be: ultraslim and ultratoned. We try to rebel against the brainwashing, and say, "society cannot dictate how I will live, but ultimately we all become vic- tims under the pressi there is no escape route A remarkable percent- age of young college women conform to this body image at universities across the country. Also, shared at schools nationwide is an epidemic of eating disorders due to the pressure to be "perfect The disorders include: bulimia, anorexia, abuse of laxatives and a less serious condition known as disordered eating, meaning a person has overdieted, but has not dropped to 85 percent of normal body weight I have friends who suffer from these life-threating disorders, because they are so desperate to fit into a tiny pair of jeans or look good in their new ski pants bought two sizes too small for incentive. I feel sorry for them, but no matter how hard I try to convince them to stop, they continue their hor- rifying habits. According to an article in Glam- our, Charles Murkofsky, M.D a psy- chiatrist who runs a Program for Mangaging Eatinf Disorders, "In an enviroment with such social pressure to conform, there's an operative ethic that says, If you need to eat, need to give in to food, you have failed in some way.

Their motto: "losing weight never felt so good I wish this was true. I tried Slim Fast when I was younger, and I did lose weight However, the tin can failed to tell me that once I started to eat three full meals a day, my body would kick out of starvation mode and gain back the weight I had lost plus an additional five to 10 pounds. I guess my body was trying to protect itself in case I got another crazy diet idea. The media is not helping young women in America. In addition to the bombardment of television ads, we see magazines full of slim beauties dairy, supermodels so thin they could slide through a closed door, Barbie dolls dis- torting our image of the womanly fig- ure. If Ms. Barbie doll was blown up to human proportions she would be in a hospital bed with an I.V. needle stuck into her arm for nourishment I could keep going, but you get my point I am not a diet and exercise ex- pert I am just like you trying to work- out eat healty and accept my body at its potential (not society's goal). What- ever weightloss and exercise goals you have for yourself, remember you are in charge. Treat your body with kindness, nourish yourself with healthy food and fluids (H20 is excellent), and find a fit- ness activity you really enjoy. You don't have to be a superstar to be in good shape, or succeed by any measure but your own; you just have to accept your- self with pleasure and cut yourself some slack now and then.

Kami Klemmer, Production Assistant Xlall Yang, Systems Manager Tim Hyde, Copy Editor Patrick Hlnson, Copy Editor Stephanie Lassiter, Copy Editor Panl D. Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary Journalism lost to culture Call me a sentimentalist, but I often wonder what happened to truth in journalism? I may be beginning to sound like my parents, but, like them, I long for the days when journalism was more than the latest atrocity. Everyday, it's OJ another mur- der, another teenager convicted of selling drugs or civil wars in foreign countries. What happened to the good stuff? I know it's out there, but unfor- tunately today's journalists are trained to cover politics and policing - not peoe. Journalists like Charles Kuralt are icons of the past, people of the '60s. Kuralt, whose claim to fame "On the I -tad has become just another retiree lost in the limelight to sensationalists who are taking over the television waves. We've lost focus of the good in life and seem to thrive on tribulations. Just turn on the tube, it's everywhere. "Teenage homosexuals, cross-dressing, headbanging mothers and "Fifty- year-old mothers who can't keep their eyes, and hands off their daughters' boyfriends are everyday topics. Cosby's Tempest Bledsoe and the Par- tridge family's Danny whatever-his-last- name-is have put those who started the talk show phenomenon out of business. Donohue, the first of talk television, recently annovnc.d the cancellation of his show. Don't get me wrong, the last thing Stephanie Lassiter Guest Columnist Seeing Kuralt on television is like grandfather. Her$ sweet. I care about watching is talk televi- sion, and I don't think that Donohue's cancellation is the end of the world, but I just want to know why honest journalists like Kuralt are dropping from the business like flies. Anyone who has ever seen Kuralt's "North Carolina is my Home" knows what a great sense of pride that program can instill in a North Carolina native. Kuralt has a knack for taking noth- ing and making it into a story full of life and feeling. As an inspiring jour- nalist, Kuralt was challenged to set out on the read in search of stories about nothing. Kuralt's "On the Road" be- came a daily must in the homes of many Americans. Years later, Kuralt published a book by the same name. Kuralt could bring tears to the eyes of his readers by reminiscing times with his grandparents, who with his parents, raised him on their Wilmington farm. Kuralt's most recent book America is a best seller, not be- cause of its shock value, but because of its truth. Kuralt unlike television journalists such as Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, doesn't seek out famous figures. Instead, Kuralt relies on everyday people - people like his grandparents who taught the value of honesty and truth. Seeing Kuralt on television is lik- ing seeing your grandfather. He's sweet He's honest and his audience knows they can expect perfection from his journajism. Whether he's interviewing some little old man who has never seen a television or the president of the country, you know you won't be disappointed. That is un- less you're so desensitized that you don't even notice the blood and guts smeared across your TV screen night after night. People need sentimentality to ex- ist In a world full of death and vio- lence, it's people like Kuralt (and Andy Griffith) who remind us what life's re- ally like. Unfortunately, days like Thanksgiving and Christmas, when everyone seems to be happy and thank- ful, only come around once a year. Letters to the Editor Conspiracy runs rampant To the Editor, We the students and the faculty of East Carolina University were in- formed in writing, as long ago as 1992, that abond referendum had been ap- proved by the North Carolina General Assembly for the construction of the recreation and fitness center as well as the new library annex on the west side of campus. It was our understand- ing that there was also a surplus of billions of dollars in the state budget, and it was high time that ECU re- ceived its fair share of this benefit Also the increasing tax revenues from sales tax and ad valorem tax on auto- mobiles was more than sufficient to maintain the upkeep and utilities for these structures well into the future. Also, our student fees for athletics were being increased by 11 to sup- port these projects and the additional seating that was and is proposed for Minges Coliseum Williams Arena and Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, those two structures being dedicated solely to revenue producing varsity athletics. Now we are told that when the new recreation and fitness center is completed, once the fraud corruption and graft of it's former construction company can be unraveled, that we the students and faculty are expected to pay membership fees of $100 and $240 respectively to be admitted to the new facility, and existing exercise and sports facilities on campus in Christenbury Gymnasium will be re- placed by a computer center to re- place the antequated (sic system in Austin building, and R.O.T.C. pro- grams will take over the remaining space. If this is not a genuine con- spiracy on the part of the ruling class of the military industrial complex, will somebody, pray tell, explain what it is? The weight room in Minges was removed in 1994, and the Sports Medicine Building is basically off lim- its to the average student who isn't a varsity athlete. Should our priori- ties be centered around the concept of profit maximization for a small clique of modernizers, or the ben- efit of all the students and faculty of East Carolina University? Richard F. Becker Senior, Construction Manage- ment To the Editor, I read all of the articles about the Liberty Bowl in the January 11,1996 edition of The East Carolinian. Not once was the marching band men- tioned. Being the largest visible stu- dent organization on campus, you would think we would get a little pub- lic recognition. Our football season is just about as stressful as the team's. We get here a week before other students to start drilling our. shows. We practice rain or shine, in hot or cold weather for Where's the band? approximately six hours a week. We are at every home game and an occa- sional away game - rain or shine. If you will notice, the statistics show that ECU won all of its home games this season � makes you wonder doesn't it sic The band did not travel to any away games and everyone sees what happened (just kidding guys). I am not in any way trying to dis- credit the football team or program. I just wish the Marching Pirates got just a smidgen of thanks for making the 20 hour bus ride to Memphis and back (as opposed to the team's flight). Congratulations should also go out to the cheerleaders for their sup- port and putting up with the band on the bus ride to Memphis. Again, congratulations to all who partici- pated in the Liberty Bowl '95 victory. PS. Please remind ESPN to stop lying about us about being on TV during any games. Sincerely, Tracy L. Bass Junior, third year Marching Pi- rate No weapons allowed To the Editor, The focus of the letter is to con- vince students to be more aware of the university weapons policy and the state law. Last year reported incidents dealing with weapons possession in- creased from the previous year. There are some students who don't take the time to read about the weapons policy, thus they may not be aware of the penalties involved. Possession of a weapon on campus owned property not only violates the rules of the school but also the state. The policy states any member of the university community who violates North Caro- lina General Statute 14.269.2 pertain- ing to weapons on campus is subject both to prosecution and punishment in accordance with state criminal law and criminal procedures and to disci- plinary proceedings by the university. In some circumstances it is a felony to possess or carry an open or con- cealed weapon on educational prop- erty. First time offenders could face twelve to fifteen months in prison without parole. The Clue Book states violation of the school code of con- duct letter T and W is grounds for suspension from the university for one semester if the weapon is a knife, BB gun, or an air rifle. t one year sus- pension would be given if the weapon �� j .jeep�����'�a��� is a gun, rilfesic, pistol or powerful explosive. Try to avoid situations where a weapon could be brought on campus. For example, if you go hunt- ing don't forget to take your rifles out of your vehicle before coming to school. Also if you have to switch cars with a buddy who keeps hisher gun in the car, remember to take it out of the car. Even a small pocket knife could get you suspended for a semes- ter, so be aware of the penalties. To get more information on the weapons policy consult your clue book and weapons policy pamphlet.

MAN BY CHILDERS KEWWhllE LA- "M&te SIGNE PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS Philadelphia USA - �� B� Thursday, January 25,1996 The East Carolinian Thespians of Diversity esurrect MLK legacy Flattening Dale Williamson SenlorWriter A young black couple pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. at his me- morial. As they stand holding all the King merchandise they bought at the gift shop, a strange, confused man ap- pears before them. To the couple's amazement, they realize the man is a resurrected Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. However, this is a King with a '60s vi- sion still intact The '90s he is witness to are not exactly what he had ex- pected, or hoped for. Thus begins Reginald Watson's original play and the latest perfor- mance from the ECU Thespians of Di- versity. I Have Seen the Mountain Top and It Don't Look So Good is a his- tory play that addresses past and cur- Vent social issues in a very' engaging manner. After writing and directing A Kwanzaa Story, a play depicting the lives of several fictional Africans and African Americans throughout history, Watson knew that he and his thespian group had more to say. History plays are a challenge by their very nature, but Watson's script presents historical fact and voices so- cial commentary without souading preachy. His three main characters (Dr. King, Wanda, and Johnny) each repre- sent a certain life perspective on the African American experience. As Dr. King, Terrence Dove gives a subtle, toned-down performance that adds a nice depth to a character who is shocked and bewildered by the world he has been thrown back into. Latisha Lisane and Darrell Armstead play the couple. While Armstead's Johnny is headstrong and stubborn, he is not stupid. Armstead provides some nice comedic touches to lighten an otherwise heavy mood. Lisane layers her Wanda with a will- ingness to believe in the impossible and a desire to help change things. The focus of the play is on the acting, writing and directing. Partly due to a limited budget and partly by choice, the set and the lighting are minimalistic But Watson uses his bare stage to great effect by incorporating other artistic genres within the play. Along with the play itself, audiences will be treated to live musical perfor- mances and a dance interpretation of Stevie Wonder's "Visions Still, the selling point of the pro- duction is the subject matter. The Dr. King we are presented with is an inter- esting one because we view the man from all angles. We learn that not all African Americans were on Dr. King's side, we get glimpses of him as a fam- ily man and a husband, and we discover that perhaps Dr. King's death may have actually helped his people's cause by transforming the man into a symbol. See MLK page 9 Everything looks bright Brad Oldham Smttor Writer For four years now, the six-man band of Everything has been a heavy- weight in the downtown Greenville music scene. The Washington, DC natives have established themselves as one of the most successful bands touring the Southeastern club circuit, forming a grassroots following that has grown dramatically over the years. The name says it all with these guys; their music is as diverse as the band's personalities. � Frontman Craig Honeycutt has an incredible gift of being able to bring the audience into the show. Drummer Nathan Brown does a good bit of the singing for the band, trading off and harmonizing with Honeycutt Newly acquired keyboardist and trombone extraordinaire Wolfe Quinn has added a musical intensity that was greatly needed at a time when the band was beginning to become a shade predictable. Bassist David Slankard, saxophone specialist Rich Bradley and guitarist Stephen Van Dam bring it all together to produce a sound that can rotate from funk- rock to jazz. Anything goes with Everything. After an extremely hard-driven song, they can transform themselves into a Mexican-sounding sextet that some- how ended up drunk in New Orleans. It's like a fiesta, DC-style. This isn't a band that you can just sit back and drink beers to; these guys put on a show that packs much more than just background music for a social setting. "We really try to hold people's attention at our shows Honeycutt said. "That's what makes it a show, instead of just a bunch of guys play- ing in a basement somewhere. In or- der to make it go, you have to go out there and really make it happen Last year brought on some ma- jor changes for Everything, who had worked the Indie scene for some time after attending James Madison Univer- sity in Virginia together.

Percolator hosts Poetry Slam Sarah Wahiert Staff Writer Attention all poets and poetry fanatics! The Percolator Coffeehouse Poetry Slam wants you! A Slam is a competition with about 15 contestants who compete in five rounds to see who comes out on top. It isn't easy, though, because the audience is supposed to be critical and feel free to call out comments; that's the whole point The theme of this slam is 95's worst poetry Poets are asked to bring either their worst poems or po- ems they wrote that make fun of some types of poetry. According to Chris Yoshida, who will oversee the Slam, that means, "stuff you know people will laugh at you for writing Chris Yoshida also heads the po- etry readings that are regularly held at the Percolator every other Sunday night. He arrived here last fall after deciding to take a break from Wake Forest to make some extra money. He had heard that the readings had stopped last year and decided to be- gin them again. So far, he's had a pretty good turnout "Hopefully someone will take it up after me Yoshida said. "It's good fun A poet himself, Yoshida shared his ideas on the art form. "Poetry is a release of my emotions to words he said. "I write every day. I do it to cre- ate something interesting. "Poems are the sharing of expe- riences. With every piece of art there's a social statement Poetry is a living thing, like a tree. It's as important as that tree and as ourselves. It can also be about what we wish to experience. "This poetry slam is to get poets aware of their audiences Yoshida continued. "It's a great place to de- velop your own voice and work on the presentation of your poems.

The band also replaced keyboardist Mark Reinhardt with former Full Stop member Quinn, who also attended JMU with the guys. "Wolfe was somebody we kept in touch with since JMU Honeycutt said. "We just felt like we were growing as a band, and sometimes you've got to change to keep growing. Its going re- ally well though now. Mark still lives See EVERYTHING page 10 Over the course of an entire year there are so many records released that it would be impossible for any one individual to keep up with each and every title that comes out That's why we have music critics. There is nothing a music reviewer likes more than listening to record after miserable record so that they can then tell the general public what albums are worth killing for and which albums are so heinous that it would be better to maim yourself than to listen to them. Unfortunately, critics can only write a limited number of reviews in one year. Fortunately, I've been given the chance to fill in those gaps by telli6 you about 10 albums you may have missed in the last year. They are in no particular order and each of them easily garners an "A" rating (if not an "A" in some cases). Of course, some of you are sure to have heard of these albums. If so, consider yourselves cool. If you haven't then you've got quite a smorgasbord in front of you. Dig in. 1. Link Wray and the Raymen, Mr. Guitar, The Com- plete Swan Recordings - He's still around, but Link Wray made his best music back in the late '50s and early '60s. This double disc of tracks he did back then showcases his destruc- tive creativity on the guitar. You want fast? You want loud? You want bleeding fingers and broken strings? Then look no farther, my friend. Especially nice are Wray's covers of the Batman TV theme and the intro to the Shadow radio pro- gram. That's way out man. 2. John Patton, Boogaloo - Although this jazzfunk al- bum was cut way back in 1968, it is technically a new release this year. Blue Note, the label for jazz aficionados, has kept this superbad record on the shelf for 27 years, only recently releasing it as part of their Rare Groove series (this entire series is recommended, too). Patton here proves to be the ultimate acid jazz pianist which is amazing considering that musical form didn't even exist in his day. If it's groovin' you like to do, then throw this bad boy on and.you will never stop. 3. Squatweiler, All Tempo Hot Pants - This Winston-Salem, NC power trio has been gar- nering a lot of press recently, as well as high praise from stars of the indieal- ternative scene. Henry Rollins says they're his favorite new band. Boss Hog invited them up on stage at a re- cent gig at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill (although they were too shy to actu- ally accept). Mitch Easter (former REM pro- ducer and leader of Let's Active) absolutely loves them. Yet they still haven't gotten that coveted recording contract Because of this you might have to take a drive to Greensboro or Winston-Salem to track down their new al- bum. It's worth the trip. See MUSIC page 9 CD. Reviews Every paper has a TV critic, but our critic is no normal couch potato, 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 Senior Writer You know, there's one thing that I've learned from my many years as a commentator on the wonder and glory that is television: people like the weirdest stuff. That fact alone makes the job of a TV whorecritic a dicey one, because my personal biases against a TV show (and trust me, I have very few) will probably be much different than much of the country's. I feel guilty stuffing my opinions down someone's throat that happens to think "Family Matters" is quality entertainment, or that Heather Locklear deserves to be even nomi- nated for an acting award, and so on. Okay, maybe I don't feel guilty for those, but certainly for others. Take "Duckman: Private DickFamily Man on the USA cable network Sat- urdays at 10 p.m for example. "Duckman ing "Duckman?" Well, I like the show all right but I feel wonky recommend- ing it to anyone. It smacks of a good thing taken too far. One of the show's selling points is that, despite for those of you out of the loop, is a half-hour ani- mated comedy that follows the adventures of a caustic, widowed private detective and his malad- justed family. How maladjusted? Well, he lives with the hateful twin sister of his deceased wife, his stoner teenage son, the twins (well, a two- headed child, each head a different sex), and a semi-comatose, flatulent grandmother.

Did I mention that he's a duck? garnering main- stream success, it still holds to un- derground roots. The series is based on a comic strip by under- ground artist Everett Peck, who also serves as producer. Peck has a wicked sense of humor, most of which still filters into the animated ver- sion of his cre- ation. The jokes that don't were prob- ably removed by network sensors. To give you an idea how cool See DUCK page 8 ackstar Derek T. Hall Staff Writer Treadmill Trackstar Excessive Use of the Passive Voice While some critics would ar- gue that this album is a positive experience, I'm left wondering what I missed. "If I had a machete, none of this would be happening is a quote on the cover of this band's promo pack. The album itself is cov- ered with a picture of an acoustic guitar, painted in American colors, that is about to be run over by a bulldozer. This all comes from an album with the title Excessive Use of the Passive Voice. Does this seem like a positive experience? I don't think so! Although this album is no walk in the clouds, it still has its shining stars. From the creepy monotone of singersongwriter Angelo Gianni to the variety of in- struments used, this album is safp from going under. However, is "not going under" what a band really wants? Treadmill Trackstar, among other things, does have persever- ance. The band consists of Angelo Gianni on vocals and guitar, Heidi Brown on the cello, Chris Brigg on bass and backing vocals, and Tony Lee on drums. Most of the album is very original, but some people will not be pleased due to how similar Gianni's voice is to Billy Corgan's of Smashing Pumpkins. Don't get me wrong, Smashing Pumpkins are unbelievable, but too much of any- thing can make you sick as a dog. Due to the lack of originality on the vocal end, a shadow of doubt hovers over the album. 1 really couldn't get into the groove. It is definitely an acoustic album, but a raspy, grungy voice doesn't fit into its context. On a more positive note (I guesi the album was produced by See MILL page 9 JH "1 NMM flMMMHMVM 8 Thursday, January 25, 1996 7)e fast Carolinian DUCK.frompage7 Peck is, he also serves as a writer for Nickelodeons "Rugrats" and writer designer for "Sesame Street among others. So yes. the show has winning credentials. That, 1 like. Voice actors, you say? "Duckman" gives "The Simpsons" a serious run for its money. Duckman himself is voiced by Jason Alexander, who has risen to fame as the guy in the Rold Gold Fat-Free pretzel com- mercials. Oh. and he's on "Seinfeld too. Nancy Travis (So I Married An Axe Murderer) plays against type as Duckman's sister-in-law, Bernice. And those are just the leads. As do "The Simpsons "Duckman" tries to grab an amazingly diverse and cool array of voice actors to do guest shots. The big difference here, and another strong selling point for "Duckman is that "The Simpsons" gets cool mainstream (i.e. recognizable to the general, often clueless, public) folks to guest sta whereas "Duckman" goes for simply cool. Names like Michelle Pfeiffer. Paul McCartney, Elizabeth Taylor and Johnny Carson have guested on "The Simpsons "Duckman" touts Tim Curry, John Astin (the original Gomez Addams). Amanda Plummer The Fisher King), Sandra Bernhard, David Duchovney ("X-Files"), Lisa Kudrow ("Friends") and Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione in its group of voice actors. You make the call as to which one you think is cooler. So where does "Duckman" go wrong for me? The best way I can ex- plain my point is to piss off a lot of people, so here goes. There are those who think Jim Carrey movies are re- ally, really funny (and you know who you are), and those who don't. Why? Because the joke is taken too far for some people. I, personally, cringe ev- ery time some drunken fool pulls that "May I ass you a question?" line from Ace Ventura at a party. A similar example from "Duckman" would be the grand- mother who. let's face facts, is a fart machine, a veritable frenzied factory of flagrant flatulence. Doing this once an episode can be pretty funny (espe- cially when it makes her blanket flut- ter like a mainsail in a squall), but come on! Much of "Duckmans hu- mor is like this - taken that one step too far. The first episode of this season, called "Noir Gang was really nice, though. Done entirely in black, and white, it was a spoof of the film noir style of crime dramas in the 1930s and '40s. Duckman and his pig part- ner. Cornfed (that's a nice joke!), in- vestigate the murder of a stripper (voiced by "Cheers" alumnus Bebe Neuworth) that they both desired. This was beautifully done, with "cam- eos" from Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre and a host of other faces from the film noir past Future episodes are to have riffs on The Bridges of Madison County, the Cold War thriller The Manchu- rian Candidate and even the classic "Star Trek" episode "Amok Time which featured a horny Spock beat- ing the hell out of Jim Kirk to impress a woman who really doesn't want him (whoo, sounds familiar). With ideas like these, "Duckman" appears to be on the right track, despite my reser- vations. How about this. I will make a promise to you, the reader, to keep an eye on "Duckman see that it lives up to its hype and potential, and try to keep my reservations about its bath- room humor in check. But you have to promise me that you'll never do any more bad Jim Carrey impressions, or make me watch Dumb and Dumber ever again, except the karate scene (which was pretty funny). On a scale of one to 10, "Duckman: Private DickFamily Man" rates a promising seven. Bee Famous Advertise ' with Us. Call 328-2000 The East Carolinian' BUY DC COMICS HERE!

Ben Lee, Grandpaw Would -1 am constantly amazed by the output of this 16-year-old Australian rocker. In his band Noise Addict he plays punk with wit and pop with feeling. On this solo album he approaches balladry and vocal harmonizing coupled with acous- tic instrumentation and reaches it as easily as Matthew Sweet or Lou Barlow can. If this is just the beginning for Ben Lee, then he will be bigger than Jesus. Hell, he'll be bigger than Neil Young, for God's sake. You heard it here first 5. T. J. Kirk, T. J. Kirk - Who says young people don't listen to jazz any- more? It's just that they also listen to funk and metal and rock and rap and bluegrass and, well, you get the idea. T. J. Kirk have obviously listened to all of these things and somehow have put them all together in a blender to pro- duce one distinct sound. Even though I know that the band name, T. J. Kirk, stands for three influential jazz and funk artists, 1 like to think it's also a nod to old J. T. Kirk from Star Trek. This band is definitely going where no band has gone before. 6. Friends Of Dean Martinez, The Shadow Of Your Smile - Best Soundtrack of the Year, no question. What, you never heard of the film? That's probably because this band just crafts instrumentais that sound like a film score. Originally named Friends of Dean Martin, the band pays hom- age to spy films, westerns, surf music, and lounge. If this was a real soundtrack, then I personally guaran- tee it would be an instant cult classic. So relax, throw this record on, and become your own Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez by playing mov- ies in your mind. 7. Palace Music, Viva Last Blues - Auteur musician Will Oldham rein- carnates himself every time he makes a new record, appearing variously as Palace, Palace Songs, The Palace Brothers and, most recently, Palace Music.

This album is more Neil Young than his previous Uncle Tupelo-like records, because it contains lots of guitar and drum power, but nevertheless it fulfills a listener's needs. 8. Cornershop, Woman's Gotta Have It - A multicultural indie rock album sounds like a delight, huh? Wel- come to the Cornershop. Using Far Eastern rhythms with modern rock instruments works very nicely, and Cornershop makes you feel as though you've just met Buddha, resplendent in his new Pavement T-shirt, gig bag under arm, on a dusty road in India. And you can dance to it, too. Ah, sweet enlightenment 9. Spain, Blue Moods of Spain - This is one smoky record. You can barely see the band because of all of the mist around you. Laid back and jazzy, Spain definitely puts one in a blue mood. The lead in this endeavor is Josh Haden, son of jazz great Charlie Haden, and you can tell that he learned everything he needed to at his father's knee. For all those moody times when you need the right music to get things going, think of Spain. 10. Axiom Funk, Funkcronomicon - They may not tell you, but this is Parliament Funkadelic all over this double disc. George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worell, and Eddie Hazel (in his last perfor- mance) are all here. The album also features special guests of large stature such as Sly Stone, Maceo Parker and Bobby Byrd. That's right, it's P-Funk with Sly and the Family Stone and the JB's. 1 don't have to say any more, right? MILL from page 7 Angelo Gianni, Conrad Hunter and Mark Bryan of Hootie and the Blow- fish. These days, being from South Carolina must have its advantages. There is no doubt that with friends like this, Treadmill Trackstar will have an inside track, but how far will they really go? From the record deal to the pro- duction of this album, this whole thing just doesn't make sense. One has to ask, "If Gianni wasn't in good with the Hootie clan, would he still have a record deal, or for that matter, ever get one?" My advice to the band would be to start over and not focus on a fixed sound. Don't be afraid to explore new territories. If you don't, you'll never know what you were missing out on. After all, what would have happened if John Lennon had started closing his mind? That's something I don't like to think about JVILlV from page 7 The play also voices concern about lack of black leadership in today's soci- ety. Watson's script does not shy away from stating that many of today's black leaders just are not doing what needs to be done. In fact, what is discovered by the end is that change can be had through the little things in life, like working with the church and helping the poor.

It was just a change we felt we needed to make While the band's new relationship with Wolfe was strengthening, their re- lationship with Capricorn was falter- ing. As the New Year rolled in, Capri- corn and Everything went their sepa- rate ways, ending a short relationship between the label and the band. "It was definitely a business deci- sion Honeycutt said. "We had really good working conditions with Capri- corn, it's just that our expectations were different. They're going to con- tinue to put out Labrador for us, we just won't ever record anything with them. It's like two people getting di- vorced but still staying friends at the same time. We learned a lot though, about how labels work, and their mo- tivations So what's in the future for Every- thing? Finding a new label to work with is possible, and with the band's on- slaught of new material recently, the notion of putting something out them- selves is also a possibility. "We have a lot of stuff in the plan- ning stages now Honeycutt said. "We have so much material that we re sort of logging in. Our goal is to put out something kind of fun yet sneaky at the same time, while keeping our vi- sion focused the whole time Everything knows that this is a great time to be a hot band in this re- gion. They have shared the stage at one time or another with every band from the Southeast that has recently made it to the next level. Bands such as Hootie, Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic and Edwin McCain have played the same clubs, in front of the same college kids that are checking out bands such as Everything and Gibb Droll these days. The band doesn't see the emerging regional success as sands in the hour- glass of fame passing them by. "It seems logical to think that this is a good time to jump to the next level Honeycutt said. "But it all works in cycles. Whether or not we make it there now or what, we need to just continue to make good music and get more and more people into it Because the more we play these bar scenes, the more the grassroots following will fuel the fire Honeycutt admits that the constant touring does take its toll at times. "It's always frustrating when you're on the road so much. It's been like that from the start But that's what it's all about: the hunger of it all. The frustra- tion equals energy for us. and it gives us an adventure of figuring how to bring it out Of course it's frustrating though, watching these bands on MTV with their videos, while we're out busting our nuts every night What can't get lost is the essence of it all. What are you really trying to do with what you've got?" Everything will be performing to- morrow night at The Attic. Fairfax.

Hart had brought ECU's athletic program to a new level, and Hamrick knew the Pirate fans would settle for no less. Hamrick came to Greenville and "took the bull by the horns" as he immediately scheduled North Carolina and North Carolina State for future football contests. Hamrick is closer everyday to getting ECU's football program into a much antici- pated conference. I recently sat down with Hamrick and spoke with him about everything from conference affilia- tion to ECU's progress in gender equity. Q: When Dave Hart left for Florida St last spring, you actively sought this job. What were some of your reasons? A- had been to East Carolina before, and I had seen the kind of support that this program has, not only from Us students but from it's alumni I can remember vividly the Peach Bowl and all the ECU fans that went to Atlanta. When I was at Arkansas-Little Rock, I remem- ber all the Pirate supporters that were in Memphis for the 1994 Lib- erty BowL I knew ECU had a good support base, and 1 honestly believe Mike Hamrick that if you have good facilities and fan support not only from your stu- dents, but your, alumni, then you can be successful and competitive. I saw all of that at East Carolina, and that is the type of program that I wanted to be associated with. Q: What were some of the items discussed at the recent NCAA con- vention in Dallas? A: The mair issue at the NCAA convention was restructuring. What that basically did was estab- lish the chancellors and the presi- dents at Universities as the main decision makers in intercollegiate athletics. It also laid out the man- agement structure in intercolle- giate athletics, a decision that I believe was very positive and needed to be done. Q: Of course the big issue for East Carolina lately has been it's possible affiliation with Conference USA. Was there much spoken about East Carolina in Dallas? .4: Conferences meet when they get to the NCAA convention. East Carolina met with the CAA, and we dealt with issues in our re- spective conference. Conference USA did meet and I was told that the Presidents of each university did meet and expansions were dis- cussed. The Conference USA presi- dents did agree that they were in- terested in expanding. It's no se- cret that East Carolina is looking to get conference affiliation, Con- ference USA knows that and we have had some preliminary discus- sions with them, and along with the Big East We have made it known that we feel that we need to get into a conference for our football pro- gram, and where we are at this point I really don't know. We've done all that we can do, and now it's just kind of wait and see. Q: What do you tell Pirate fans when they say, "well Conference USA did not want us the first time, so why should we join their confer- ence?" A- tell Pirate fans, that I do not believe that is correct. I think the majority of schools in Confer- ence USA did want ECU as a mem- See HAMRICK page 12 support base, and I honestly believe " � � �' Seahawks prepare to fly into Minges on Saturday � I i k. k i speed have been the biggest pluses double figures in scoring. Mc( Improved UNCW squad desires to continue success Dave Pond Senior Writer After a grueling early-season schedule against the likes of Cincin- nati and Umass that sent UNCW reeling with a 2-8 non-conference record, Head Coach Jerry Wainright's Seahawks (7-9) have climbed into the upper echelon of the CAA standings with a 5-1 con- ference record. Saturday's contest between the Pirates and the Seahawks will be the 45th overall meeting between the two teams; each squad has claimed 22 wins. Last season the teams split the season series, with each team winning in their home arena. Over- all, UNCW is just 5-6 at Williams Arena, and the Pirates have yet to lose this season at home. speed have been the biggest pluses for the Seahawks this season. Through their first six conference games, UNCW has limited opposing teams to an average of 52 points per game. "Our mmmmmmmmmmmummmmmmm strength will be the enthusiasm that is brought about by a mix of young and old players Wainright said.

Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH Swimmers hope to remain undefeated Dill Dillard Stetf Writer Being at the top is always nice. Right now the men's and the defend- ing CAA champion women's swim team knows what I'm talking about After sweeping the Spiders in Richmond this past Saturday, the Pi- rates started their final run towards the CAA crown on a high note. The victory put both the men's and women's teams at 4-0 in the CAA standing, while having 8-1 (women's) and 7-2 (men's) overall records. Mo- mentum and togetherness are usually key factors in a team going to the next level, and for the second half of the seacon for the Pirates it'll be essen- tial. "Road trips I feel brings the team together sophomore Lee Hutchens said. "When we swim at home meets, family and friends are there cheering us on, but when we're on the road, we travel together and we really have to get behind each other during the meets Hutchens is not whistling Dixie either. Since Dec. 2, ECU has had only one home meet out of six. Not to men- tion the last two regular season meets will be on the road as well. "It's just how the scheduling works Hutchens added.

Junior Henry Bunn won a trip for two to Super Bowl XXX. The contest was sponsored by the Dr. PepperSeven-Up Corporation and WTRG 100.7. Bunn heard the contest while he was channel surfing on his car radio. The contest was held at Burger King in Knightdale, N.C. Bunn was in the area so he stopped by the Burger King and entered one slip, and one slip only. On Monday, Jan. 15, this part- time insurance broker was coming back from a sale when he heard his name over the radio as the contest winner. "I only put one slip in, so it's pretty amazing Bunn said. Not believing what he had heard on the radio, Bunn stopped in the Burger King to make sure he had heard his name correctly. Sure enough, he won an all expense paid trip to the Super Bowl for him- self and a guest of his choice. The total cost of the trip is around $7,000. Bunn will be taking his wife on the trip and needless to say she was pretty excited too. "She screamed and said I can't believe it Bunn said. This Pittsburgh Steelers fan will be flying out tomorrow morn- ing and coming back Monday evening.

Two Lady Pirate's qualified for the ECAC Cham- pionships during the competition. ECU sophomore Saundra Teel qualified with her preliminary time of 8.31 in the 55 meter high hurdles. Carla Powell, a senior from Greenville, N.C. also used the 55 meter preliminaries to earn the right to compete in ECAC Championships. She placed second in her heat with a Mme of 7.22. Cther top five finishers include. Michelle Clayton (sec- ond-weight throw, fifth- shot put). Lave Wilson (fifth- Triple jump) and Amanda Johnson (fourth- 55 meter dash). '� like to do some sight seeing. "We possibly would like to see some local sites. We would like to see the Grand Canyon but I think we could be too far away to go Bunn said his friends didn't quite believe that he had won at first and it took him a while to convince them he really had won. "My friends didn't really believe it until I showed them the sheets Bunn said. "I don't think they thought I was telling the truth Once they believed him some of them jokingly asked if they could go along. "A lot of them asked about go- ing. I've become popular all of a sud- den As far as the game is concerned, Bunn does see the Steelers coming out with a victory. "I predict Pittsburgh will win 28-24 over the Cowboys 12 Thursday, January 25,1996 The East Carolinian HAMRICK from page 11 ber the first time, and I don't think it is right that Pirate fans label Con- ference USA as not wanting East Carolina. I believe it was one school in particular, maybe another that said well let's go into this confer- ence and let's kind of take a wait and see attitude with East Carolina. Where 1 know four, maybe even five schools greatly supported East Carolina, because they know of our quality athletic program. Q: East Carolina's athletic bud- get is on the lower scale of Division I institutions in the NCAA. How does ECU compete, money wise, with other major universities? A: We raise more money pri- vately, we sell more season tickets, we continue to get more money from our radio and television broadcasts, our students are very supportive with their student activ- ity fees. With the additional 12- 14,000 seats in Dowdy-Ficklen sta- dium, that's an opportunity for additional revenue. We'll try to put more people in those seats, that's a main way to get your budget up. Q: A major issue in the NCAA in recent years has been gender eq- uity. What are some of your feelings on this issue in particular? A: I think we are making tre- mendous progress here at East Carolina in our gender equity. We've paid close attention to it in the short time that I have been here. It's an issue that we have to deal with enthusiastically, aggressively and try to do the right things in the area of gender equity. To do those things you have to have the funding, and we have to work hard to get the funding, to do the things in gender equity that we need to do. Q: East Carolina has been known to be a "stepping stone" for some coaches. Are you scared that with success in the athletic program that you may lose some of your coaches? A: I believe East Carolina can no longer be viewed as a stepping stone. East Carolina's athletic pro- gram is one of the best in the coun- try, and once we get our stadium completed, and hopefully get into a conference, play our in-state ri- vals, and now with Minges Coli- seum renovated, 1 think that ECU is on the right track. Financially, our coaches and staff's salaries are becoming very competitive. We are also at the point that if we'have good coaches and they leave, we can hire good coaches to replace them because of what we have here at ECU. Q: Do you feel that it is very important for the athletic depart- ment to be in touch with the stu- dent body? students. Secondly, because the stu- dents fund us so well in my opin- ion here with their student fees. I think we need to be in touch with them, we need to know what they are thinking, we need to know what they want from our program and the students here become alumni. Alumni is very important to our program and my philosophy is if that the student has a good experi- ence while they are here, then they're going to continue to support you the rest of their life. Playing your cards right means advertising with us! Q: How has it been working with Chancellor Eakin? A: It's been good. Dr. Eakin is very supportive of athletics and at the same time understands that ath- letics needs to be kept into perspec- tive. He has made it clear to me that academics are important, and about no NCAA violations. Dr. Eakin is not afraid to win. He wants to win, and be very successful. You'll find him at all the athletic events, and he is very supportive. How to Save $SS in Your Apartment A: Absolutely. The student body here at ECU is the heart and soul of everything we do here.

"Oh, without a doubt this is the biggest meet that we have left before conference sophomore Mike Donnavan said. "It's always intense with UNC-W. It's probably the biggest rivalry in the conference so there will be plenty of talking going on "We have to go in with a tough skin because we know they're (UNC- W) going to do a lot of talking Mackwood added. "We'll just have to keep our composure and get the job done In the previous season, the hated Seahawks from the Port City edged the men's team and topped the Pirates in the conference standings. Not to mention the CAA champion Lady Pi- rates getting the best of the Seahawks last time. It's no secret that both the Bucs and the Seahawks will be gunning for each other in this regional showdown. This match-up will be Jan. 27 at 2 p.m. on the campus of UNC-W. Byington and Donlon have been the most pleasant surprises for the Seahawks this season. After watch- ing most of last season from the end of the UNCW bench, Byington has claimed hold on a starting position this year by pouring in 10.3 points per game. In his first season in the CAA, Donlon has made himself known quickly, draining over 48-percent of three-pointers. However, he's struggled at the charity stripe (51 percent) and has almost a one-to-one assistturnover ratio. "UNCW's perimeter players are starting to play well Dooley said. "Byington, a sophomore, is playing a lot better, and Donlon has really come into his own at the point. Now they have started to become more offensively balanced - they've his- torically always been a good defen- sive team The biggest question for ECU will be the health of sophomore point guard Tony Parham, who is fighting his way back from an in- jured hip. "He's got a hip pointer, and he's all sorts of banged up Dooley said. "Tony's getting treatment for it right now and we'll just have to wait and see how it is During half-time of Saturday's contest, televised on Home Team Sports, the East Carolina football team will be honored in a special ceremony honoring their achieve- ments during the 1995 season. "It will be a very special day for East Carolina University said ECU director of marketing Steve Cowan. "The football team will, among other things, present the Liberty Bowl championship trophy to the Univer- sity on Saturday afternoon. That, and the fact that we are playing our arch-rival UNC-Wilmington, make this an afternoon that all Pirate fans should be a part of A Williams Arena sellout crowd for Saturday's televised game would give the Pirates a big boost in con- tinuing their home-court success during Dooley's first season at the helm of the ECU program. "We've got the best crowd in the conference - I don't think that there is much of an argument about that Dooley said. "We've got a great basketball atmosphere, and hopefully people will keep coming out like they have been (T TRBLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT Tournament winners will be awarded trophies and the opportunity to represent ECU at regional competitions to be held at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN. the weekend of February 23-25,1996.
