(AP) - Con- victed child molester Barry "Chris" Phillips is back in jail after being charged with abusing a 23-month- old relative living in his home, au- thorities said. The toddler, whose name was not released because of her age, was in critical condition at Caroli- nas Medical Center in Charlotte with cigarette burns on her face, fractures in her legs and bruises on her neck, head and abdomen. Around the Country ROSELAND, NJ. (AP) - In divorce papers filed Jan. 23, John Goydan sought to dissolve his eight-year marriage with Diane Goydan on grounds of extreme cruelty and adultery. He claimed that his wife and a North Carolina man who calls himself "The Weasel" carried on a cyberspace love affair and had made plans to meet at Newark In- ternational Airport, then drive to a New Hampshire bed-and-break- fast inn and have sex. HONOLULU (AP) - A man upset over being laid off last year returned to his former workplace Tuesday, shot a company supervi- sor and held a former co-worker hostage on live television before he was fatally shot by police. NEW YORK (AP)-When his younger brother became a police officer six years ago, Winston Agard feared the sibling might die at the hands of a street thug. But Officer Rodney Bishop ended up shot to death by his own gun after getting caught in a love triangle. His romantic rival was cleared of wrongdoing, in part by a 911 tape recording.

Construction digs up fields Two of four current intramural fields may be spared Wendy Houston Staff Writer Dowdy-Ficklen stadium expan- sion will begin this summer, leaving ECU without intramural fields and 8,700 students denied from playing intramural sports. The intramural fields located be- hind the stadium will eventually be- come a parking lot, said Nacy Mize, director of recreational services. Black History Month Activities Once the stadium expansion begins, the fields will provide space for con- struction. Currently, there are four intra- mural fields, and there is still hope of saving two for playing fields in the fall. "It will take at least a year for the stadium expansion Mize said. "There is still some doubt as to whether or not we will be able to ac- tually play on two fields Other clubs such as rugby, la- crosse and ultimate frisbee, located on the allied health fields, will also lose their spaces once the renovation starts to provide for a sport field com- plex. This renovation itself entails taking the existing fields, (known as the Blount property) and adding 12 acres to enlarge the area and con- struct a complex similar to the one at UNC-Chapel Hill. The renova- tion of the allied health fields will begin after an in- vestigation testing for marshland is complete. The renovating will take approximately one year or more to finish. "Our concern is how many semes- ters are going to be a short amount of mmmmmamm time Mize said. "We will have liter- ally hundreds, if not thousands of students who have no place to play. I think it's going to be a real big is- sue Recre- ational ser- vices, facility services, athlet- ics and Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs, are all working together to find a resolution to this problem. Athletics is obviously in- volved, but they are also con- cerned because they will be losing the varsity soccer field. "We are trying to identify other properties, as you well know there "There is still some doubt as to whether or not we will be able to actually play on two fields � Nacy Mize, director of recreational services aren't any available adjacent to the university Mize said. "It's just that it comes down to a matter of timing and lack of anyplace else to go. We've sort of come to a standstill Mize said that another concern is lighting, because most games take place in the evening. If ECU does have the opportu- nity to keep two fields, then there will have to be a reduction in the amount of teams allowed to play. Mize said that teams cannot play past midnight. Recreational services is funded by student fees. "We have to look at it as not re- ally a legacy, but you are contribut- ing to ECU and the quality of the facilities here Mize said.

The center has released its spring 1996 program calendar and is inviting students, staff and mem- bers of the greater community to join in the celebration of Black History Month. On Friday, the center will begin its February events by hosting a Frederick Douglass documentary and discussion from 6-8 p.m. at the Bloxton house. "We will show a recently re- leased documentary on the life and accomplishments of Frederick Douglass said Taffye Benson Clayton, the center's director. "After the video, Dr. David Dennard of the history department will facilitate a discussion Clayton said the center will be- gin a series of workshops on Mon- day, Feb. 12, collectively entitled "Soul Food: A Guide to Healthy, Hearty Relationships The series will be divided into segments that focus on self-love and relationships. "Monday's segment, 'Focus on Women will look at health and psychosocial issues relative to rela- tionships Clayton said. "We will also discuss communication and the im- portance of self-love and self-esteem which are the first critical steps to entering a relationship with other people, whether it be a friendship or a romantic involvement On Tuesday, the topic will switch to "Focjs on Men and the same ideas will be discussed from a male perspective. The speakers will be Dr. Ron Poulson of the psychology de- partment and Dr. Julius Q. Malette of the ECU School of Medicine. "Then on Thursday we will bring those two groups together and pro- cess the information from earlier ses- sions Clayton said, adding that par- ticipants will have the opportunity to engage in conversation about what See HISTORY page 4 Ground crew used Monday's two- hour delay to clear roads, sidewalks Stephanie Ann Eaton Staff Writer As snow and ice blanketed the town of Greenville last weekend, ECU's grounds crew was kept busy and many students questioned why ECU did not cancel classes on Mon- day. "School should of been closed said Sara Arnesen, a fresh- man, undeclared major. "Students could of hurt themselves. Closing school would have allowed them to get the ice off the sidewalk Chancellor Richard Eakin said it is ECU's responsibility to provide classes whenever it is possible for students to attend. "There are approximately 5,000 students living on campus and an estimated 2.000 students living within walking distance from campus Eakin said. "The Univer- sity did not want to take away from these students' education Eakin said for those who did not live on campus, he hoped that they would make a mature decision on whether or not the roads were safe enough to make it to class. "I asked faculty to be under- standing on Monday for those stu- dents who missed class Eakin said. The reason ECU had a two hour delay was so the grounds keepers had time to clear the roads and sidewalks on campus. "I am very proud of the grounds people said Dr. George Harold, vice chancellor of business affairs for facilities services. "I be- lieve that we have the finest grounds people out of any univei sity in North Carolina.

While walking through the fresh- man allied health parking lot on Tuesday, more than half of the cars viewed had something of value in sight. Two of the cars had The Club, others had their stereos pulled out or nothing of value in sight. The majority of cars had non-fac- tory stereos, CDs and tapes right on the seats and radar detectors. Cellu- lar phones and CBs were also fre- quently spotted. Many cars with tinted windows are being broke into. The reason be- ing when the glass is broken, it doesn't shatter all over the place because of the tinted film. Lieutenant Johnnie Umphlet of the ECU Police De- partment said the lots away from cam- pus are hit the most. The pattern seems to be that weekends are not as big a time as some weeknights for break-ins. He said that most occur during the evening hours of 10 p.m. to midnight. Just because that is a pattern doesn't mean it can't be bro- ken and people should put their guard down, Umphlet said. "We randomly patrol the lots 24 hours a day and try to patrol each lot two to three times an hour de- pending on the availability of offic- ers Umphlet said. "We have consid- ered taking other measures such as working surveillance in, and walking around lots. Cameras have also been considered A fence has been put up at Curry Court between the lot and Kmart. Before, people could walk through the tree lined area and carry items Items easily seen through car windows ? Non-factory stereos ?CDs ?Tapes ?Cellular phones ?CBs from cars back.

Taken from official ECU police reports. GPAs can be raised, academic suspension lifted through workshops Sherri Parrish Staff Writer This semester, 648 of your fel- low undergraduate classmates will be hitting the books a little bit harder. These students have been placed on academic probation because their cumulative GPA's fell below univer- sity standards after the fall semes- ter. The minimum standards stated in the Undergraduate Catalogue re- quire a 1.75 for eight-31 semester hours, a 1.60 for 32-63 hours, a 1.80 for 64-95 hours and a 1.90 for 96 or more hours. In order to graduate, a student must obtain a GPA of at least 2.0. According to the Associate Di- rector for Academic Support for Un- dergraduate Studies Don Joyner, stu- dents placed on academic probation are notified of the situation and then given one semester to raise their GPA. Failure to do this results in aca- demic suspension, which means a stu dent can not attend ECU for one se- mester. To get back into the university, a student must re- apply and then raise hisher GPA to standard after one semester, or suffer the conse- quences. "Students who do not bring up their GPA are again suspended, this time for two semesters Joyner said. "But we do give them another chance after this, too Joyner said if things still didn't work out after the third try, you've struck out However, the decision of suspen- sion and dismissal is not set in stone. Students are allowed to seek exemp- tion through a "Petition for Appeals stating the student's reasons, which is reviewed by a committee. "What the committee looks for are students who have improved Joyner said. "They also consider per- sonal problems and such that the stu- dent may have gone through Despite how overwhelming these policies may sound, there is help available to students to avoid the pitfall of suspension. Unfortu- nately, many students aren't aware of the academic support avail- able. "They need to know some- body around here cares that they exist and that they stay in school Joyner said. "When we send letters of probation we also inform stu- dents of a work- shop that's an introduction to removing the probation At the workshop, students are provided with packets containing in- formation such as ways to raise and calculate GPA and academic enhance- ment workshops available. The workshop also includes tak- ing a self-assessment test which iden- tifies problems that contribute to the student's academic difficulties and offers suggestions for remedy. Joyner stated that 48 percent of the students who attended the last workshop stated poor test-taking "They need to know somebody around here cares that they exist and that they stay in school � Don Joyner, associate director for Academic Support for Undergraduate Studies skills and 45 percent stated lack of motivation on the assessment. Not attending the academic workshop results in a student's record being tagged, barring regis- tration. "We do this because we want them to attend the workshop Joyner said. "I want them to do well because it makes their whole per- sonal life better In addition to the workshop, stu- dents may seek help in the Academic Support Center which provides ac- cess to counselors and tutors. The center is located in Brewster B-103. According to the Dean of Under- graduate Studies Dorothy Muller, an- other option available for student benefit is the grade replacement policy that went into effect fall 1994. "It is a policy that allows stu- dents to retake a 1000 or 2000 level course up to three times Muller said. "The second grade received is what is averaged into the student's GPA Students who believe they may be coming into academic difficulties are encouraged to meet with their advisors or someone in the office of undergraduate studies. "Our office is charged to work to promote intervention programs rather than prevention programs Muller said. Universities join forces to battle violence Marguerite Benjamin Assistant News Editor As the threat of violence in- creases worldwide, several universi- ties and educational institutions are finding ways to combat the problem. ECU is one of 300 sites across the country which will air two videoconferences aimed at helping to stop worldwide violence. On Tuesday, the School of So- cial Work and Criminal Justice Pro- gram held its first broadcast of a national videoconference hosted by noted broadcast journalist Charles Kuralt live from UNC-Chapel Hill. The videoconference, entitled "So- cial Workers and the Challenge of Violence Worldwide is being spon- sored by the National Association of Social Workers. "(Tuesday the panel discussed worldwide violence and the impact social workers have in fighting the problem said Gail Sharpe, clinical instructor for the School of Social Work. According to Sharpe, the focus of the teleconferences is on how the U.S. and less advantaged nations are linked through the issue of violence, community initiatives that have bro- ken new ground in abating violence and viewing social work as global work which "expands our thinking as we look for other solutions Kuralt, who has been an over- seas correspondent for CBS, served as a moderator as 12 panelists from different universities, corporations and research groups discussed such issues as remedial training programs for high schools and social action against violence to women. "Everyone in attendance be- came more aware of how they can become actively involved in interven- ing with worldwide violence both nationally and locally Sharpe said. Sharpe said the conference drew only a small crowd of about 12 on Tuesday, and she encourages others to attend the next conference which will be held at the academic communications studio in Joyner li- brary on Friday, Feb. 9, from 1p.m. See BATTLE page 4 tif5.

Greenville Wm Utilities CPS - University of Minnesota's student newspaper has been fined for refusing to turn over unpublished pho- tographs sought by prosecutors in an assault case. Michele Ames, 26. editor of the Minnesota Daily, and the newspaper were found in contempt of court Jan. 25 after failing to comply with an Jaa 19 state appeals court ruling that or- dered i t photos be turned over to Dis- trict Court Judge John Stanoch. "On behalf of the staff at the Min- nesota Daily we have to respectfully decline to comply with the order a tear- ful Ames told Stanoch, who was to re- view the photos in his chambers and determine whether they could be evi- dence in the assault trial.

"I never intended to directly dis- obey a judge Ames said but added she'd rather go to jail than hand over the photos. Ames, who was a reporter for the Daily when the controversy over the photos first erupted, has found herself tossed into the lengthy court battle over photographs taken by a Minnesota Daily photographer at an October 1993 Progressive Students Organization (PSO) rally. During the rally, Daniel Simmer claims Kieran Knutson, who was working "security" for PSO, as- saulted him with a flashlight Knutson was charged with third-degree assault but said he swung at Simmer in self- defense. There was a question as to whether Simmer was wearing brass knuckles, and the Hennepin County attorney's office has said they had hoped that the photographs would help settle the case that 100 eyewit- nesses with conflicting testimony couldn't "I guess that's not good enough said Ames, referring to the number of people who saw the fight The Minnesota Daily contends that the photos are protected by the First Amendment and the Minnesota Shield law, which protects unpublished material from becoming part of a crimi- nal prosecution. The Daily argues that giving unpublished information to po- lice or prosecutors can cause report- ers to be viewed as an arm of the law, creating a "chiiling effect" on their ability to gather the news. But prosecutors have said a jour- nalist has the same duty to testify as any citizen who witnesses a crime. "It's dangerous said UM jour- nalism professor William Huntzicker, commenting on the appeals court de- cision. Huntzicker also serves as the newspaper's editorial adviser.

The court ruled for the insurance company.

"Last year we solved five or six in one weeks time based on information we received not just from officers but from students, Umphlet said. "So the best thing you can do if you see some- one suspicious-looking around cars is to use a blue (emergency) phone and contact us. By going there in the past we have caught people in the act" Umphlet said for students to take all the precautions they can because sometimes they get caught up and are put into a position where they cannot be in a parking lot 24 hours a day. Anything a person can do on their own, making sure all valuables are out of sight or carried back to their rooms, will help. "Our campus has had a low num- ber of break-ins this month if you com- pare our numbers with the city of Greenville, but any number is too many Umphlet said.

You better play intramurals now while you have the chance. As soon as the expansion begins for Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, the fields will no longer exist (see article on front page). We at TEC agree that the expansion is much needed to interest conference officials and bring in top teams, but ECU students will be paying a heavy price. ECU's football program will be getting a big boost with the expansion, but students will have to suffer through at least two semesters of no intra- mural fields due to a lack of funds. Approximately 8,700 students participate in intramural activities. Once construction begins, these students will have no place to play. Eventually the fields behind the stadium will be a parking lot. Not only are the students losing the Ficklen fields, but the fields behind allied health will also be lost Some of us at TEC participate in intramural sports and it is a shame that we won't be able to play any intramurals for at least a year. That brings up the question of when and where will we regain intramural fields? It is projected that the construction will take about a year, but we all know about construction on the ECU campus. The athletic facility and library are already running behind sched- ule. We at TEC think a year is the minimum it will take. And where exactly will the new fields be located? That is a question that seems to go unanswered. Intramurals give non-scholarship athletes the chance to participate and show their skills. It provides an outlet for hav- ing fun and meeting people. ECU has many superb intramural teams. For example, the "Super Ho's the winners of the all campus tournament, rep- resented ECU in many flag football tournaments this year. They even went to New Orleans and played in the national tourna- ment Even though they did not win, it was still an honor for them to be there and represent the hundreds of students who played flag football and did not go. So what will they do next year? In fact what will all the athletes who play flag football, soccer and Softball do with no fields? We believe better planning could have allowed ECU to come up with an alternative plan to avoid the confusion that will be caused once the stadium construction begins. Needless to say, there will be some irate students who will request that they be allowed to play somewhere else. But that somewhere is still in question. Unfortunately, the intramural program will be the biggest loser during the construction. It is too bad that earlier plan- ning didn't allow for an alternative plan. The expansion will be a plus, but the loss during the time we have to wait may not be worth it Now if you will excuse ur, we have some playing to do before we get hit by the wrecking ball. Letters to the Editor To the Editor, As a 1995 graduate of ECU and a current grad student at American University, I am embarrassed by the recent incident involving Morris Grooms and Tim Fudd. For ECU stu- dents who haven't caught the basket- ball team fever, Grooms was elbowed in the throat by AU senior Fudd, who was then suspended for five games by the Colonial Athletic Association. This is the most severe penalty We're sorry the CAA has imposed in its 11-year history and the story made the front page of the Washington Post's sports section. I speak for many AU students - the rest of whom are not ECU grads - when I wish Grooms a quick recov- ery. ECU's basketball team is on its way to a conference victory, and even those of us who have moved away from Greenville still manage to keep up with the scores, and the excite- ment And I thank Othello Meadows for shooting such an incredible at-the- buzzer, heart-stopping, game-wining three-pointer during a game that was shown up here in DC on Home Team Sports. Reading about that the next day would NOT have been the same. Good luck guys. And congratulations Coach Dooley! Maureen Rich B.A. '95 Get the facts straight To the Editor, In the Feb. 1 edition of TEC, "Our View" printed an article concerning athletes and whether "they really de- serve all the perks that came with pumping iron Whoever "Our View" may represent, this letter is to clear up a few things that you have obvi- ously been misinformed about, if in- formed at alL The items you refer to as perks are far from that Athletes are on athletic scholarships as a re- sult of years and years of hard work, dedication, and intense training. Your reference to the top notch weight fa- cilities that athletes use is correct but this facility is shared by seventeen different teams. You seem to be for- getting the Student Recreation Cen- ter that is in progress which will sur- pass anything we have in the Sport Medicine Complex. TEC also refers to the fact that athletes register earlier for classes. Athletes have to be finished with classes by 2:00 in order to make af- ternoon practices. Finishing class by 2:00 usually means beginning class at 8:00 A.M often after 6:00 A.M. work- outs. TEC refers to missing classes on the day of or before games as a perk. This is a huge disadvantage for ath- letes. Missing class because we have to travel means turning in assign- ments early and suffering the conse- quences of a full days sic lecture. Being an athlete at any major univer- sity is a job in itself. Many sacrifices are made by athletes in order to be- come the best they can in their sport. Basically, TEC needo to get their facts straight before bashing athletes. With- out the athletic program. ECU would not be the major university it has be- come.

Kami Klemmer, Production Assistant Xlali Yang, Systems Manager Tim Hyde, Copy Editor Patrick Hinson, Copy Editor Rhonda Crumpton Copy Editor Paul D. Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary Labels pull in suckers There is a modern craze to cut out fat, cholesterol and get enough nutrients. This raises new hope that Americans are finally getting smarter about their dieting and eating habits. Has America finally seen the light? Unfortunately, the only thing that America is seeing is clever marketing labels, and the labels are doing a pretty good job of getting their share of consumers' wallet stuffing. The latest wave of foodstuff mar- keting that has taken off is health conscious marketing. Products all have something health related on the package. Long gone are the labels that read 'tastes great' Even the old faith- ful 'wholesome' now seems like a di- nosaur in the world of foodstuff mar- keting adjectives. The top five new terms are cho- lesterol-free, light, reduced-fat low-fat and nutrient rich. There are some adaptations of these such as 99 per- cent fat free, but these five are defi- nitely at the top of the list The problem with these is that while the notions may be good, the terms can be misleading. While it would seem that a product would need to contain at least 25 percent of a nutrient to be classified as a "good" source of it it doesn't In fact a prod- uct only has to contain a mere 10 percent of the USDA's recommended daily allowance of a nutrient to be qualified as a "good" source of it You would need to find the "high in" cal- cium rating to get 20 percent Thus, if we were to drink milk, which is listed as "high in" calcium, to fulfill the daily calcium requirement we would have to pour five cups of it down the hatch. The term "cholesterol-free" in- Chris Ariine Senior Opinion Columnist Its for the sam reason they're fat in the first place; they're lazy. spires thoughts that the producer of the good is looking out for you. The truth of the matter is that this means that the food never had any choles- terol in it to begin with. In fact the manufacturers often do you one worse. There may not be any choles- terol in the food but the manufactur- ers may have added some form of par- tially hydrogenated oil which tend to raise the levels of cholesterol the body would normally store for significantly longer periods of time. This leaves you worse off than you were if you had just eaten the cholesterol laden ver- sion and had a short term flux. Now for the last example of how consumers are suckered into thinking that they are making a huge difference. The label "low-fat" has the second high- est batting average of any health con- scious label on the market second only to "fat-free This leads the consumer to believe that there is very little fat in a product (i.e. around 10 percent) The truth of the matter is that a product can getaway with 30 percent of its calories and, in the case of cookies, 40 percent of it's calories coming from fat and still get to use the label. Thirty- five percent of the calories in low-fat milk come from fat The question is raised - why don't American's read into the labels more? Its for the same reason they're fat in the first olace; they're lazy. A survey conducted at the University of Cincin- nati states that 84 percent of shoppers shown a package with a claim on it didn't turn to the Federally required nutritional chart on the back. I remember the first time I fell into the trap of creative and misleading food advertising. Playing slave to the vices of my love for foods my mother wouldn't let me have as a child I was face to face with a shelf of Twinkies at Seven-Eleven. There was one package of standard Twinkies, and one with "low-fat" Out of boredom, I compared the two labels. To my horror there was less fat in the "low-fat" Twinkies which was good; however, they weighed less according to the label. What a scam! I couldn't have felt more violated if I were a transvestite in a Mexican prison on Cinco de Mayo. I was furious. To this day I have not bought a Hostess product The truth of the matter is that Americans are a bunch of suckers when it comes to foodstuff marketing. They read a few words that sound good, ac- cept it for gospel, and then pat them- selves on the back for doing so. They continue to eat big portions, stay fat and reassure themselves that they are making a valiant attempt because the label tells them so. There's a sucker born every minute, and sooner or later they all end up in the grocery store. Valentines made easy "OK sir, that wili be $58 dollars for a dozen long-stem red roses. Will there be anything else?" How can that be? With this kind of expenditure, I will have no more money left Sound familiar guys? Yes, it is a familiar sound to many guys out there. It is the sound of buying our loved one a gift to show our affection. It's actu- ally kind of ridiculous if you ask me. I think flowers are great, but for Valentine's Day, merchants jack up the price to three, sometime four times it's original price. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give your loved one something that does not take three months to pay for? What about love? You can give your special someone the gift of love! You can not find it on the shelf at Wal-Mart or K-Mart You won't find it as item number 3624-B on QVC. Only you can make this item. It won't even cost you a cent You have it right inside of yourself. The love you can give can't be replaced. AH right it's time to make those plans for the big event sometimes mar- keted more than Halloween. It's next Wednesday so time is of the essence. You want to impress your Valentine and don't have much money to do it with. Fear not my fellow broke friends. I have a few ideas that can perhaps help you out of your quandary. So many times when 1 go to a res- taurant it is overcrowded and the wait to get a seat takes longer than you would really like to wait Then, don't' Don't wait in a line to eat food that is probably overpriced anyway. Eat at home and save time and money. Cook a special dinner for your Valentine. Did someone say cook? Yes, to cook a meal shows more thought than to go to a restaurant and pay for a meal someone else cooked for you. Many times, it is even impressive to cook the meal in front of the person you are trying to make feel good. Me, I love to cook. It's not just a hobby of mine. Ask any of my friends and they Brian Lewis Burns Opinion Columnist Don't go outright and ask what kind of food they like, be suave about it. . will tell you that I cook for my friends and dates. Not just to save money, in fact many times it can cost more to cook a meal. But not if you follow my advice. I have been cooking for seven years now and I have learned a few tricks that can save a few bucks here and there. First of all, to make this feast you have to know your dates likes and dis- likes when it comes to food. Does this person like seafood or the garden type with meals? You need to know this. Don't go outright and ask what kind of food they like, be suave about it and try to get them to tell you what they like. If you are actually interested in this per- son, then it should come up in conver- sation. After you find out what types of food they like, plan the menu. Don't make a menu that will take three days to cook and takes all your time from school and friends. A good meal can take anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours to prepare. Now, the time it takes de- pends on what you are cooking. For an Italian meal, if you make meat sauce, let the sauce simmer for five to six hours. That allows the flavor from all the in- gredients to soak into the sauce. Once you plan your menu, it is time to go to the store. Generally speaking, Kroger and Piggly Wiggly are the cheap- est stores to shop at Check the Sunday circulars, they have some good deals in �i them for your grocery needs. The stores will have everything you need to make this meal. If you plan on having a sea- food meal, there is a seafood merchant at the corner of 10th Street and Greenville Boulevard. It is now time to make the meal. You have planned the meal, shopped for it and now you want to cook it A meal such as yours should have love in it Take your time and do not skip steps in the directions in order to speed the process up. The directions are laid out in a specific order for a reason. Many times when a recipe calls for a white sauce, such as Alfredo sauce, don't buy the pre-made stuff, make it yourself. A good white Alfredo sauce is as follows: one cup of milk, 12 cup of flour and 14 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix these ingredients over a low burner until they thicken. Add the pre- ceding ingredients to taste. This is a base Alfredo sauce that can be used with most meals. See, it is not hard to make the foods yourself. Just think about what it is you want to make. Many times a person feels that because it has a long name, it must be hard to make. It is often the case that it is actually easy to make. From this point on, the rest is up to you. How you lay the table out where you want to eat the meal, what kind of lighting and music you want is all up to you. It's your show and you call the shots. Remember, it does not take a lot of money to show someone you care. It means more to make the meal than to buy it precooked. Show that special someone you care and cook them a nice meal. Perhaps you can even type up the menu and decorate it for them to keep. Can they find that in a store? I think not! Good luck with Valentine's Day. Don't let the merchants of Greenville fool you into thinking that you must have their food or their products to be a successful date. Do what feels right and you will succeed.

DEADLINE FEB.9@4P.M. J mm aiHiiiiti 8 Thursday, February 8,1995 The East Carolinian Music transforms "Moon � Authentic folk music enhances Appalachian play Jennifer Coleman Senior Writer "Dark of the Moon" is not a mu- sical. Although music is an extremely important part of the show, it is not used to further the action, as in a mu- sical, but is so much a part of the lives of the Appalachian people that it al- most becomes a character in itself. Having said what "Dark of the Moon" is not, the task becomes to decide what it is. This is not so easily done. The East Carolina Playhouse in- terpretation and director John Shearing vision of the play is a very true one. So much emphasis was placed on an accurate portrayal of the Appalachian mountain folk that many of the songs originally included in the script were discarded and new ones were selected that better suited the period. "I felt a lot of those songs were both spurious and corny Shearin said. "They are spurious in the sense that they wei? not their 'natural' songs - they are not real Appalachian folk songs. I wanted this experience to be more authentic with regards to the people and the culture Why such a focus on accuracy for a theatrical production? According to Mort Stein, musical director, the mu- sic is as much a part of this particu- lar story as it was a part of the lives of the Appalachian people, which makes the musical representation a pivotal part of the overall staging. "It comes from a tradition of sing- ing. Most people did sing - it was the only art they could take part in. They didn't paint, sculpt; they had music. It was a tradition to sit around after supper singing. Any member of their culture would be prepared to sing at any time if asked Stein said. There are a number of authentic instruments used in the show as wHl. Among the more unusual ones, at least for today, are a washboard, wash- tub, Jew's harp, mandolin and banjo. "The script called for an accor- dion, which is altogether wrong for the place and time. It was just a stroke of luck that Brian Davis and Justin Allen knew how to play guitar very well, and Justin said. 'Well, I have a mandolin, 1 could fool around with it and see if I can do that' and Ty Cobb got excited about the Jew's harp, and Michael Schilabbaj wanted to play the washboard Shearin said. When an actual, authentic song couldn't be found that suited Shearin's purpose, he didn't let that stop him. There is an abundance of talent available right in his own de- partment, and Shearin was not hesi- tant to draw upon it. "In the play there's a song they sing, "Good Old Mountain Dew said Shearin. "That's another one of those phony songs, and it didn't ring true to me that a preacher would sing a song about 'mountain dew But in praising the promise of something God gave us - the corn - I thought you could make a logical connection there. I couldn't find a gospel hymn that fit that, so I said, 'Okay, I'll write one "So I wrote the lyrics, and I was talking to Ixi Perry and he said, 'Well, I'll come up with something. I'll just sing something' and he did one See MOON page 10 Bux& IRevceccL Circus put in freakish spotlight Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Jim Rose is a freak. I mean that in the nicest way possible, you un- derstand. Besides, I don't think he would take offense. Mr. Rose, you see, is the pro- prietor of the Jim Rose Circus Side- show, a travelling caiavan of freaks, human marvels and people who are just a little off. For example, one of the longest-running Rose per- formers is Mr. Lifto, who lifts heavy things with various pierced body parts. Like his nipples, ear lobes, nose and tongue. But it's his penis lifting that he's most proud of. Then there's Matt the Tube, a pharmacist from Seattle who forces various nauseating substances into his stomach, then pumps it back out. If you're lucky, he'll offer you a glass of his tasty bile beer. The troupe also features the Armenian Rubber Man (who can pass his body through an unstrung tennis racket), the Enigma (sword swallowerkeyboardistbug-eater, whose entire body is tattooed with an interlocking blue jigsaw puzzle), and Bebe the Circus Queen (Rose's wife, who lies topless on a bed of nails and lights fluorescent bulbs by passing electric currents through her body). Rose himself pounds nails up his nose, swallows razor blades, functions as a human dart board, and puts his face in broken glass while people stand on his head. He's also a master escape artist and, apparently, a pretty darn good writer. Yes, Jim Rose, who has dis- gusted audiences and raised the hackles of conservative public offi- cials worldwide, has gone and writ- ten himself a book. It's called Freak Like Me: Inside the Jim Rose Cir- cus Sideshow. As you can no doubt guess, it's biographical. File this one under stranger than fiction; Rose has led a pretty colorful life. Somehow, though, he's managed to keep a pretty level head and a heaithy dose of human- ity despite the weird, inhuman things he does-on stage. Featuring an introduction by Katherine Dunn, author of the side- show novel Geek Love and a Rose frienddevotee, Freak Like Me seems unusually open and honest for an auto-biography. Too often, books like this are self-aggrandiz- ing, the stories coming off more like Commander McBragg cartoons Photo Courtesy Dell Publishing Ladies and gentlemen! See Jim Rose put his face in broken glass! It's all in the pages of Rose's new book, Freak Like Me, which tells how to do this trick and many others. than true-life accounts of things. The fact that Rose comes off sounding utterly sincere is doubly surprising considering his carnival barker patter and con artist savvy. But every time I suspected Rose of self-inflation, he would undercut himself by revealing some embar- rassing mistake he made or reveal- ing the nervous regular guy under- neath the cocky exterior. But Rose seems to have been destined for a life among the freaks from the start. "I was born with the world's most fascinating nose he writes. "A nose so intriguing, my eyes couldn't stop looking at it. Which is to say, in the optical department, I was cross-eyed Tortured by his classmates be- cause of his condition, Rose became the class clown to deflect the in- sults. The quick wit he developed as a child stayed with him even af- ter his vision was corrected (par- tially; he still suffers from lazy eye today), and he uses it to good ef- fect as barkercrowd control for his performances. His freak status among his middle-class peers led Rose to a fas- cination with circus freaks and hu- man marvels (people who have learned strange and dangerous body manipulation tricks). When he found himself cast adrift after col- lege (Rose holds a degree in politi- cal science from the University of Arizona), his life-long devotion to sideshows became a career. Starting out on open-mic nights at Seattle coffeehouses, Rose's fame as a performing freak grew, and soon other freaks gath- ered around him like lint. The stories of those other per- formers are also told in Freak Like Me. While the likes of Lifto and the Torture King (who pierces his body with dozens of pins and needles without drawing blood) don't get See ROSE page 10 Winter chaos!

You've watched them too, usually late at night sitting in your under- wear, munchies and a beverage in hand, when nothing else is on but infomercials and religious program- ming. Like a video from MTV's Buzz Bin, you've seen these movies so many times they've saturated your very soul. Don't lie to me! I know you've watched these movies too! You just don't want to admit it! Maybe you just need a reminder of how bad some of these flicks really are So, in the interest of giving these films their due, your TV Whore will honor those unsung films of the 70s and '80s, TV's top 10 perennial favorites. 10. Jaws. True, a fine film, but t shown way, way too much on TV. Everyone is hopefully famil- iar with this Speilberg epic of a massive shark using the seaside town of Amity as the world's biggest church social buffet. Roy Scheider, Rich- ard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw make up a kick-ass cast and, honestly, this movie can do no wrong. Its three sequels, however, See MOVIES page 10 Any movie with JJ's dad and a demon cow automatically rates at least a two, so you know this one's a winner! CD Reviews The Verve Pipe Pop Smear Derek T. Hall Staff Writer "Swallow this scene, I'm on fire, aims waving, burning higher Brian Vander Ark says at the first level of his performance on Pop Smear. The song is called "Pretty For You and judg- ing by the direction the song was tak- ing, I knew exactly what I was about to hear. The Verve Pipe, led by Vander Ark on vocals and acoustic guitar, A J. Dun- ning on lead guitar, Brad Vander Ark on bass, and Don Brown on drums, will show you why they are RCA's new- est onslaught Characterized by well- written lyrics and an alternativepop undertone, Vander Ark and the boys feel as if they are on top of the world. With songs like "Victoria that refer to the sweet taste of victory, and "The River which was written by drummer Donny Brown, they show signs of a very promising band. On the other hand, their sound seems to be focused on the same thing that most other artists on the RCA record label are focused on. It's a fixated sound that works, but one has to ask if the artist are really being true to themselves or just hoping for some extra cash and beer on the side. I don't see that in this band. What I do see in this band is pride and enthusiasm, despite who or what they might sound like. In every band there is a shining star, and of course Vander Ark quali- fies for that ranking here. But when you have musicians in a band that rise above the rest one has to ask if every- one else is living up to their full poten- tial. The guitar on this album speaks very clearly and presents a strong mes- sage. The bass is weak and needs to be more present at times. Brown also did a good job keeping time on drums. He also wrote the strongest song on the album, called "Is It Worth It?" The song is very melodic and Vander Ark's vocal tone is a perfect match. But the song's message is what makes it See PIPE page 9 mini? ttifi ti us Coming soon for your edification and amusement: Thursday, February 8 "An Evening with Chris Rock (comedy) at Wright Auditorium Almight Senators at Peasant's Cafe Movie: Dead Presidents at Hendrix Theatre 8:00 p.m. FREE!

But this time, the real star won't be Mr. Saturday night but another man named John, director John Woo. If you don't recognize the name, don't be ashamed. Woo is one of cinema's premier action directors, but the bulk of his work has been done in Hong Kong. Still, Woo's out-of-this- world action sequences and his visual mastery have broken into the Ameri- can underground. Thanks to video stores that carry foreign imports. Woo has received great word of mouth and praising reviews. Now even major video chains like Blockbuster carry dubbed versions of Woo films. John Woo has had a highly suc- cessful filmmaking career in Hong Kong, a career that is affecting even America's hottest and newest filmmak- ers. Robert Rodriguez has admitted that John Woo inspired his vision on Desperado and Quentin Tarantino's enthusiasm tor China's action films owes much debt to Woo. In more ways than one, Woo has redefined a genre that Hollywood thought it had mas- tered. Woo's films are many and varied, and I must admit I have not seen them all, most notably his A Better Tomor- row series. While Woo does specialize in the action genre, his films offer more than simply the good guy blowing away the bad guy. His films are complex, as are his characters. Bullet in the Head is a particularly intriguing film because it follows a group of young men whose involvement with organized crime leads them into the hells of war-torn Vietnam. While this film is not Woo's hardcore statement on Vietnam (he made a film entitled Heroes Shed No Tears to tackle that issue), it still pre- sents an ugly picture of a time the world would like to forget. Bullet :n the Head, as unsettling as it may be, is still an engaging and exciting action film. But it is an action film with John Woo's stamp of ap- proval. The fine line between hero and villain is not so clear, the violence is unrelenting, and the conclusion is not so happy. Any film that has one of its main characters go mad because he has a bullet lodged in his head is worth a glance. Arguably, Woo's two most popu- lar films are The Killer and Hard Boiled, both of which star Hong Kong's top action star, Chow Yun Fat The Killer stands out as a revisionist ac- tion film. The basic plot may seem fa- miliar, the good cop tracking down the bad bounty hunter. But this is a film where the good guy actually connects and identifies with the bad guy. This is a film where the bad guy actually has a code of honor and will die trying to stick to that code. And. staying true to all that is Woo, this is a film where the story's resolution is not wrapped up in nice package, as our heroes run off with their true loves to live happily forever. If anything, The Killer is the antith- esis of Hollywood's notion of a "good" action flick. In many ways, Hard Boiled is simi- lar in structure to The Killer. There is a similar herovillain dynamic, and the ending would make mainstream Hoi- CcWefflf 25CWE xmc 209 E. 5st.

But in Hard Boiled, things are complicated by the fact that the "villain" is an undercover cop who, while not turning bad, has gone too far to protect his cover. Hard Boiled and The Killer also both share Woo's over-the-top action. Unlike many contemporary direc- tors, Woo has mastered the slow-mo- tion effect He knows when and where to slow the action down in order to achieve an exhilarating sensation. Watching Chow Yun Fat leap over tables in slow motion while blasting two guns at once is watching an artist at work. Woo's keen visual sense ma- jestically captures Yun Fat's masterful stunts and transforms an ordinary ac- tion sequence into a filmic work of art Unfortunately, Woo's American debut was less than thrilling. While Hard Target may be the best Jean- Claude Van Damme movie ever, it was John Woo's worst The story was thin, the characters were flat, and Woo's vision just felt repressed and disjointed. Woo has admitted that Hard Target was a disappointment, but he has also admitted that working in Hollywood is not like China. Hopefully, Broken Arrow will make enough of an impact at the box office that Hollywood studios will al- low Woo to cut loose and do what he does best: create outlandish, unrealis- tic action flicks that are pure cinematic adrenaline and pure fun. This week's topic: Beverly Hillbillies 1. Jethro was Jed's nephew. 2. Claude was Mrs. Drysdale's poodle. 3. Jed kept his money in the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills. 4. The OK Oil Company bought the Clampetts' Osark property. 5. Jethro's mother and sister were named Pearl and Jethrine, respectively. 6. True! Sam Drucker was one sly dog. The show also crossed over with another country sitcom, "Petticoat Junction 7. The Drysdales' son was named, appropriately, Sonny. 8. Ellie May's movie star boyfriend was the hunky Dash Riprock. Other movie star beaus included Bolt Upright and Crunch Hard- tack. 9. Jethro differed from the other Beverly Hillbillies because he had a full sixth grade education (and he could cipher real good). 10. Jed's dog was named Duke (or, sometimes, Old Duke).

Vander Ark sings. He delivers his drummer's words as if they were his own. This is a song about ask- ing questions, the question at hand being "Does it really matter?" The music on this disc is easy to relate to and indulge in. There is no doubt that this band will be a force in the years to come. Judging by how fast they have moved over the past couple of years, they already are a force to be reckoned with. Pop Smear is everything it is in- tended to be: a pop undertone camou- flaged by alternative groove. w 's Hair Styling Shopp Barb$r& Style I 2300 E. 10th St. Eastgrue Shopping Center Across From Highway Patrol Behind Stain Glass Mon. -Fri. 9-6 Walk-ins Anytime 752-3318 Say PIRATES & Get Hair Cut for $7 Everytime Pirate Special $7.00 Haircut Expose Yourself Dont Forget To Advertise your holiday specials in The East Carolinian To place an ad, call 328-200 RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS SUMMER SCHOOL FOR PEOPLE ON THEIR WAY TO THE TOP.

Watching Jaws on TV deadens its original impact and genuinely an- noys me. 9. Firewalker. Chuck Norris and Louis Gossett, Jr. attempt to do a humorous Raiders rip-off, and in- stead a spectacular crash and burn occurs. Chuck and Louis star as two soldiers-of-fortune going for that last "big score They hook up with the lovely Melody Anderson, whose other claim to fame is playing Dale Arden in Flash Gordon (a movie that barely missed this list), to truck all over Mexico in search of Aztec gold. Gossett looks embarrassed, and Norris has the comedic timing of a wing-nut. Stinky, but it's kinda fun watching Chuck play stupid. 8. Urban Cowboy. Now that John Travolta is back in the public eye again, the TV Powers have dredged up this big hit (God knows why) from the very early '80s. Here, Travolta, Debra Winger and Scott Glenn jump on the big country mu- sic bandwagon in this story of ur- ban rednecks lookin' for love in all the wrong places. Travolta dances a Texas two-step, but it's "lean's su- per-redneck performance that makes this worth watching at all. 7. The Blue Lagoon. Buh-whu- Haaaaaa Hahahahahahaha HAhahaha Two kids grow up to be half-nekkid teens on a deserted is- land. With Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields. Not to be confused with the movie Paradise, starring Willie Aames and Phoebe Cates. That one goes more like - Tee- Heeehahahahah Heeeehahahah Hwooh-Hahahahahahah 6. Bloodsport. Jean-Claude Van Damme's first big hit, and a really cool, stupid little movie. The Muscles from Brussels plays real guy Frank Dux (who was also a consultant and fight coordinator for the film), who fought and won the Kumate, a nasty, illegal bare-knuckles fight in Hong Kong. Stupendous fighting scenes, wacky slow-mo and piss-poor acting help make this a classic sitting- around-drinking flick. Look for Forrest Whitiker in an early role. 5. Cobra and Over the Top. I was in a bind as to which of these two Sylvester Stallone "films" are worse examples of filmmaking. First we have Cobra, with Stallone play- ing a cop named Cobretti who has to protect a beautiful witness (the wretched Bridgitte Nielson, his wife at the time) from death. Wow, how original. On the other hand, we have Top, which may be the only film ever made to glamorize the world of professsional arm wrestling. That's right, 1 said "arm" wrestling. At least Cobra is watchable. 4. Zapped! A teen sex comedy with a twist! Scott Baio plays a high school science genius (?) who developes a serum that gives him telekinetic powers that he uses to try to get into Heather Thomas' pants. I found this movie really funny when 1 was 12 or 13.1 am no longer 12 or 13, but sometimes feel like it and will watch this. TV edit- ing cuts out the nude scenes (bring- ing up the question "What's the point?"), but Thomas uses stunt breasts anyway. Both Baio and Aames use their own breasts. 3. Conan the Destroyer. This awful sequel to the always-cool Conan the Barbarian (itself a fre- quent TV visitor) grates on me be- cause of its untapped potential to be cool and its need to dumb down for a PG audience. Even Arnold, Graeme Jones, Mako, Tracey Walter and Wilt Chamberlain can't save this trash. A few cool scenes make this pretty good noise filler during home- work. Destoyer's sister film, Red Sonja, is even worse, and on even more often. 2. Masters of the Universe. An entertaining little movie (tons bet- ter than the cartoons) starring Dolph Lungren as He-Man, Frank Langella as a great Skeletor, and a young Courtney Cox as an Earth- ling trying to keep Skeletor from taking over. This movie benefits from an inherent wackiness brought through by melodramatic acting. And now, number one with a bullet 1. The Beastmaster. 1 have seen this movie so many times I can't count, but it's still kind of quirky-cool. Written and directed by Don Coscarelli, this movie features Marc Singer as Dar of the Emorites. Dar is sworn to avenge his people, who were slain by the Jun Hordes. Leading the Jun secretly is the high priest Maax (a vicious Rip Torn), who controls the entire land of Ahric. Throw in exCharlie's An- gels" babe Tanya Roberts and John Amos (the dad on "Good Times") as a sergeant-at-arms. This one has it all: Conan riffs, swords, greased nude bodies, demon cows giving birth to babies, sexy witches, demonic S & M leatherboys, spraypainted tigers, ferrets and, of course, the hawk-cam! Any movie with J.Js dad and a demon cow au- tomatically rates at least a two, so you know this ones a winner! Fess up, you know you've watched these movies! And once we all admit to these kind of things, the closer we'll all be to Nirvana. No, not the band IvOjJlL from page 8 the kind of attention Rose gives himself, that's okay. It's his circus, after all. and his book. Rose's tales of his troupe's rise to fame are entertaining, funny and enlightening. His prose style is lively (no surprise, considering his years of enciting crowds with snappy patter), and the rough edges were taken off with help from Newsweek writer Melissa Rossi. I particularly enjoyed his sto- ries of touring Europe. The Circus outraged British' officials spurred on by the tabloid press. They put on forced performances for French border guards (Enigma always gets strip-searched by the French; they want to know if his penis is tat- tooed). They found themselves be- ing upstaged by dangerously intoxi- cated Scandinavian viking audi- ences. But not all the touring stuff is that fascinating. The book tends to sag a little towards the end. After MOON from page 8 night and it was just perfect" Another interesting aspect of this production of "Dark of the Moon" is the use of "line-out singing some- thing which was used consistently in churches of the time. In this practice, the preacher would call out a line of a hymn before it was to be sung, thereby eliminating the need for hym- nals in a church where most of the parishioners couldn't read anyway. How does a modern cast prepare to sing music that is older by many years than they are themselves? Much work was done practicing dialects and the cast watched videos about the Appalachian people, as well as listen- ing to actual recordings of church services of the time. "John supplied us with audio taper and we actually had a record- ing of ari actual church service that was taped in the early 1900s. It's just amazing to hear the line-out singing. You can tell it's "Amazing Grace but it's a totally new way of doing it. I've never heard singing like that said William Stutts, who plays Mr. Atkins. "The rehearsals were like the re- hearsals for a musical Ty Cobb said. "Sometimes we'd just get together and sing, and work the dance num- bers. The music, for the most part -1 don't personally like country music, but I like the song we sing as a group, and even some of the hymns we do. They sound better than I thought they would Someone to look for during the show is Mike "Lightnin Wells, a lo- cal professional musician who will be playing the banjo. Wells has worked with East Carolina Playhouse before, in "Quitters" about four years ago. "I didn't know Mike played banjo. 1 knew him as a guitar player, and we had plenty of guitarists. So I was call- ing around asking for banjo players and the fellow at Greenville guitar said Mike Wells plays old style banjo So I called him up Shearin said. With such a collaboration of tal- ents, this production is sure to be a delight for music as well as theater lovers. "Dark of the Moon" is sure to be one of the most interesting plays of the East Carolina Playhouse sea- son. Anyone who is interested in North Carolina history should defi- nitely reserve a good seat. Even if you've seen the show before, you won't want to miss this interpretation. "Dark of the Moon" is rated PG- 13 and contains mature themes.

Freak Like Me is kind of a McBook as well. The print is extra- big and boldfaced, to fill up more space, and the pages are overflow- ing with photos of the troupe. But Rose's show is so very visual that the photos are a necessity. And if he had written much more, things might have gotten a tad boring. Overall it's a fun read, and well worth the 14-buck cover price. For the budding freak in us all, Rose has offered a two-page section de- tailing how to do certain tricks, like sword swallowing and Rose's block- head stunt (the secret?

Monday's game against George Mason was ECU'S second defeat in a row. The Pirates had already lost to the Patriots Jan. 6, 76-80 at GMU. ECU lost again, but this time the mar- gin was bigger. "We gave up 92 points and that says it all Head Coach Joe Dooley said. "They did whatever they wanted to do to us and it's embarrassing to the program. We just did not play up to our potential ECU was seeking revenge after losing to American on Saturday, which ended their home winning streak. GMU scored the first basket The Patriots' George Redd hit a baseline jumper to open the game 0-2. How- ever, Othello Meadows, who going into the game led the league in three point goal percentage, opened up ECU'S scoring drive with his trade- mark three. Without anyone knowing it, that would be ECU'S only lead 3-2. GMU quit ly bounced back and went on a 12-0 run to make the score 3-15. The Pirates had trouble all night getting the ball down low because GMU was playing a tight zone defense. "We had mismatches down low that we didn't utilize Deron Rippey said. ECU could not get in the swing of things in the first half, and only hit 34 percent of their shots. GMU's biggest lead was 15 after a Curtis McCants jumper. Every time the Pirates would Photo by PATRICK IRELAN Othello Meadows drives in to score two of his 21 points for the night. The Patriot's beat the Pirates 78-92 on Monday. score, so would the Patriots. During the first half, each team kept trading off baskets, with GMU still leading. With 10:52 left Tim Basham hit his second three pointer in the first half, but GMUs' freshman sensation Jason WiHiams hit two three's in a row and sank a lay up to put GMU ahead 16-27. The Pirates battled back late in the first half and cut the lead to three, 35-38, after another Meadows three pointer. But during the last minute ECU committed three fouls that sent GMU to the line. After making five of six shots, GMU went into the locker room with a 10 point, 3545 lead. Meadows scored 11 points in the first half, Tony Parham added eight and Basham had six. GMU's tough defense didn't allow See BALL page 14 s4t&lete otAe ouee& Zlna Briley Staff Writer It's a new chapter in Lady Pirate basketball and Junior Guard Justine Allpress is helping to lead the way. Allpress, a 5'6" guard from Barton-Under-Needwood, England, became ECU'S all-time leading three point shooter, when she hit two three pointers against William & Mary. She entered the game with 87 career three pointers, just one shy from tying the record held by Gaynor O'Donnell. now an assis- tant coach for ECU. Allpress is also one of four Lady Pirates listed in the CAA's statistical categories. She is fifth leading scorer, sixth free throw shooter and the top three point shooter in the conference. Allpress hails' from John Taylor High School. While at John Taylor, she helped lead her team to four National Championships, averaged 25 points a game as a senior, and was the top scorer in the European School Championship in France in 1993, where her team finished sixth out of 15. Allpress' talents don't stop there. She also represented her dis- trict track team, running the 100, 400 and 800 meters, holding her district's record in the 400 meter. As if that's not enough, she also played field hockey, tennis and netball. Although Allpress participated in all these other sports, bas- ketball was and is her favorite. "I used to play tennis and some other sports a lot, but I gave those all up because I enjoyed basketball and the concept of it be- ing a team sport Allpress said. While at ECU, Allpress is majoring in geography with a minor in sociology. She said she would eventually like to be in public rela- tions back home in England. She enjoysibasketball and hopes that soon, with all the positive changes Coach Donovan has made, that the Lady Pirates will be- come ranked as one of the top teams in their conference. She likes to spend time with her friends and every once in a while, she likes to take time out for herself. Look for Allpress and the Lady Pirates who are 7-10 for the season and 3-5 in the CAA, as they prepare for a five day road trip that started Wednesday. ECU will first compete against Old Domin- ion followed by Virginia Commonwealth and James Madison. The Lady Pirates next home game is Feb. 16 against the Patri- ots of George Mason. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. Don't drop 'em Down, down they go. The ECU cheerleading squad entertains the crowd with stunts and cheers during home basketball games. Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH Grooms still recovering Brad Oldham Senior Writer Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner Tom Yeager sus- pended American University center Tim Fudd for five games after Fudd displayed what the CAA termed "fla- grant unsportsmanlike conduct in last Saturday's game here at East Carolina. The suspension resulted from an elbow thrown by Fudd into the neck of ECU for- ward Morris Grooms in the first half of the game. Grooms continued to play in the con- test, but after- wards he was ad- mitted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital with a collapsed lung. "Compound- ing my review of the incident was the fact that Tim Fudd was involved in a very rough play at the end of American's Janu- ary 27 game with George Mason which immediately escalated into a near fight among the teams Yeager 11 MM said. "An extensive review was con- ducted of the situation, including a personal discussion with Fudd on January 31. This unprovoked situa- tion occurs in AU's very next game and caused severe injury to another player. These three factors in combi- nation require a very strong penalty The five game suspension is the stiffest ever in the CAA's eleven year history. "As far as the suspension to Fudd goes, and I don't mean to skirt the issue or anything, but that was all handled by ECU Athletic Director Mike Hamrick ECU Head Coach Joe Dooley said. "Our big- gest concern as a team is that Morris heals well and can re- turn to play as soon as possible. Right now we're looking at about two weeks or so until he can re- turn to the court "I agree and support the deci- sion of the commissioner Hamrick "I just think that we're sending out the wrong message to the young men who are competing in college sports if we don't keep the pealties in-line with the actions � Mike Hamrick, ECU Athletic Director amummmmmmammmam Morris Grooms said. "I believe the action warranted a five-game suspension. I saw the in- cident on tape several times, and I basically indicated to the commis- sioner when I talked to him that I felt the thrown elbow was very, very flagrant and intentional Grooms spent time in the emer- gency room, as his condition was up- graded to good, but he is still being held at Pitt Hospital for further ob- servations. In his first season of play here at ECU, the junior transfer from Pasco-Hernando Community College has been one of the first players off the bench in each game this season for the Pirates, averaging 5.8 points and 3.4 rebounds a game.

However, support is just as important on the road as it is at home. The Student Pirate Club, who dubs itself "The Team Behind the Team is sponsoring an away trip to ECU's arch rival UNC-W. The men's basketball game will be played Sat- urday, Feb. 24 in Trask Coliseum in Wilmington. The game will begin at 7 p.m. Chris Libert, who is doing an in- ternship with the SPC, said this is an excellent trip for students and the general public. "What we have is a trip orga- nized for our students, but is offered to anyone in the community or affili- ated with the university or commu- nity Libert said. The bus, which is being provided by the ECU transit in order to keep costs down, will leave Minges Coli- seum at 3 p.m. From there the bus will proceed to Jungle Rapids where a pre-game social will take place with food and drinks. After the game, the bus will return to Greenville at ap- proximately midnight. The social will begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. After the social, fans will be bussed over to the game which begins at 7:30 p.m. The SPC has reserved a special section in or- der to allow all the fans to sit to- gether. The fan support can only help when the Pirates take the court in Wilmington. "Having some more voices behind them (ECU) other than just UNC Wilmington's voices would be a great support not only for our team but for our bench Libert said. The cost of the trip is $25, but that includes game ticket, transpor- tation and the pre-game social. TEVA and BOOTS 50 OFF Harris Teeter Shopping Center 7520551 But Libert quickly points out that that is a reasonable price. If fans didn't choose this package deal, it would probably end up costing more. A game ticket costs $15, the expense of gas and food could easily surpass $25. But that price is not set in stone. The $25 is based on 30 people going. Therefore the more people there are to go on the trip, the cheaper the cost will be. When ECU first met with UNC- W on Jan. 27 in Minges, the Seahawks brought two bus ioads of fans. Be- cause this is such a big in-state rivalry for the two, it is important for fans to travel to Wilmington to support the Pirates. "There are only two teams in the CAA from N.C one of course being ECU and one being Wilmington, so there are a lot of bragging rights This will be the only trip the SPC sponsors to any of this season's bas- ketball games. Seating is based on a first come first serve basis. The last day to sign up and pay for the trip will be Friday, Feb. 16. For more information, call Libert or Mark Warton at the SPC at 328- 4540. Seahawks find new home in L.A. (AP) - Ken Behring says he has a dream, and it's not just about making more money. At least one King County, Wash leader sees it much differently. Behring said he never felt welcome in Seattle from the day he purchased the Seahawks 7 12 years ago, but it was never his intention to move the team until recently. And that only happened, he said, when he became convinced the Kingdome was an unsafe place to play and King County refused to do anything about it So now, he's committed to bring- ing his team to the Los Angeles area permanently. "I have a dream for Los Angeles Behring said in an interview Tuesday. "That dream is to play our games in the finest state-of-the-art football sta- dium in the world. "I've made enough money. I'm looking for something more than mak- ing money. It's a great opportunity to own something down here, build the kind of complex thaf s never been built" In Washington, D.C King County Executive Gary Locke told lawmakers Tuesday that Behring's primary concern Is, indeed, about finances, not player and fan safety. Behring is "trying to find the high- est bidder who will build him a new sta- dium with luxury sky boxes and club seating Locke told the House Judiciary Committee. The panel took testimony on pro- fessional sports franchise relocations. Within the past year, five NFL teams have moved or announced plans to move. "Enough is enough Locke said. "This madness in football of abandon- ing loyal fans and communities simply must stop. "If order is not restored, more lo- cal go ?rnments will be coerced into paying hundreds of millions of tax dol- lars out of fear of losing their teams Behring, 67, said he hopes his team has its own practice facility ready within a year, but plans to set up shop at the former Rams Park in the meantime. "Hopefully we'll have an agreement See SEAHAWKS page 14 GROOMS from page 12 "This is a tremendous loss to our team Dooley said. "Our rotation is now different, we're more shallow now. We just really lose a lot of our depth without him, but we've got to move on. Other teams in this conference have had big injuries this season as well; hopefully we can just get him back for the latter part of the season As for Fudd, the senior forward from Chantilly, Va. will miss roughly the same amount of time predicted for Grooms. Hamrick believes that the length of Fudd's suspension could of been linked to the estimated time off the court for Grooms. "I mean, here we have a player for us who will be out for two or three weeks Hamrick said. "There's no rea- son that he should have to be in the hospital or on the bench hurt while the other individual is still playing. I just think that we're sending out the wrong message to the young men who are competing in college sports if we don't keep the penalties in-line with the actions Fudd served the first game of his suspenison against UNC-Wilmington last Monday night in which the Eagles lost 73-58. Fudd will also be suspended against William & Mary on Saturday, Va. Commonwealth on Tuesday, non- conference opponent Iona on Febru- ary 15th, and George Mason on Feb- ruary 17th. Fudd earned First-Team All-CAA honors in 1994 before sitting out the majority of last season with a knee in- jury. Fudd is the Eagles leading scorer (16.8 ppg) and rebounder (6.3 rpg) on the season. American University has decided to appeal the suspension to the CAA conference's athletic directors, with a decision likely to be made later on this week.

The second half would prove not much better for the Pirates. GMU jumped out quickly with a Williams' slam dunk. ECU cut the lead to seven with 17:36 after Kerner made one of two free throws. The Pirates struggled in the sec- ond half and the closest they came to the Patriots' lead was seven. ECU came that close four different times, only to watch GMU slowly pull away. The second time they came that close was after a Meadows' three pointer to make it 57-64. However, ECU'S luck soon changed. During the Pirates' next possession, Kerner picked up his sec- ond personal foul and for the second game in a row, he picked up another technical. After that incident, GMU went on a 7-0 run and the game was now 57-71. The Pirates tried to cut the lead to single digits, but GMU seemed un- stoppable. ECU lost the battle 78-92. GMU shot 50 percent form the field and three point range and 71 percent from the line. ECU shot 42, 33 and 75 percent from the field, three point arc and free throw line respectively. The story of the night was GMU's Williams, who hit eight three point- ers, which is an arena record, to fin- ish the night with 37 points. Team- mate McCants added 24 points for the contest "You got one kid who has 37, one has 24 Dooley said "They just did whatever they wanted to do. They got good looks, they made shots. It wasn't anything we hadn't seen before or anything we hadn't defended before. It was simply a lack of execution Basham hit six three's of his own, Meadows added four and Parham hit two, but it wasn't enough. The three leading scorers for ECU were Meadows with 21, Basham with 20 and Parham with 13. Kerner was held to five points for the night. Leading rebounders for the game were Von Bryant with nine, Kerner with eight and Basham, Vic Hamilton and Rippey each with five. The loss drops ECU to 7-4 in the conference and 14-6 overall. ECU is currently tied with UNC-W for third place, behind VCU and ODU. "We have a lot of work to do to get better Dooley said. The Pirates have spent this week preparing for VCU. "We just have to stay strong and have a positive attitude and worry about VCU Rippey said. The Pirates will be on the road this Saturday against VCU. ECU de- feated VCU once already this year 73- 72.
