(AP) - Two Lexington women were killed when the vehicle they were in ran off the road, overturned anC struck a utility pole, the state Highway Patrol said. Tracy Young Walker, 29, and Luann Kilby Wyson, 39, were two of six people who died in week- end accidents on North Carolina highways, according to troopers. LUMBERTON, N.C. (AP) - The trial of the man charged with killing Michael Jordan's father began a half-hour late because the defendant fought with an- other prisoner in a holding cell. Daniel Green needed fresh clothing because his clothes got blood on them during the fight in the holding cell in the court- room, said Maj. Willie Watson of the Robeson County Sheriffs Department The other prisoner, who was not identified, was treated at Southeastern Regional Hospital in Lumberton and released, Watson said. Around the Country NEWARK, NJ. (AP) - No one was hurt the first two times commuter train engineer John DeCurtis went past stop signals. The third time, it cost three lives, including his own. DeCurtis' train struck an- other in a grind of sparks and derailed in Seacaucus on Friday, leaving 162 injured in addition to the dead. The National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday that DeCurtis had been suspended four times for a total of 105 days between 1983 and 1989. NEW YORK (AP) - AT&T and MCI, fierce competitors in long distance phone service, are talking about joining forces in creating local telephone net- works in major U.S. markets, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The negotiations between the two rivals - considered highly unusual in the industry - are only in the early stages, the Journal said. Around the World DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - Demonstrations and bloodshed, tied to upcoming general elec- tions, left three people dead and 200 injured over the weekend police and news reports said Mon- day. Rival activists and political parties clashed across Bangladesh on Sunday and police counterat- tacked, as cars were set on fire and homemade bombs were thrown. The three killed in southern Bangladesh on Sunday raised the death toll from pre-election vio- lence in the last two weeks to 15. MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) - A bomb exploded in the lobby of a luxury seafront hotel in Bahrain on Sunday, injuring at least four people. There were conflicting re- ports about whether a militant Islamic group was responsible. Additional space means more offices, parking David Durham Stuff Wrllvf The university's committee for expansion plans to buy 56,900 square feet of land in downtown Greenville for the use of parking and administrative offices. "The request went before the UNC Board of Governors (Thursday) said Layton Getsinger, associate vice chan- cellor for business affairs. The land is located across Reade Street from the freshman parking lot and is surrounded by Reade, Cotanche. Third and Fourth Streets. Getsinger said the property encompasses about three-fourths of a city block. Getsinger said that once the board of governors has approved the pur- chase of the land, the State Property Office will use their appraisal of the land in negotiations with the owners to determine an acceptable price. Then the purchase will go before the board of governmental operations. If it is also approved by this board, and the uni- versity still wants to buy at the deter- mined price, the Council of State will have to make the final approval of the purchase. "The deal is not consummated and (it will be) probably another couple of months before it will ail be finished Getsinger said. The building of FarleyMizelle & Company, Inc. and a building which used to house the Sub Station II sand- wich shop are the only buildings lo- cated on the property. The rest of it is currently being used as parking, Getsinger said. "Right now we'll use the land that's there for parking (although) I don't know what kind of parking Getsinger said. Getsinger said the 3,450 square foot building, which currently houses the FarleyMizelle accounting firm, will be used for administrative offices. He said the university is trying to move offices that do not pertain to teaching off of the main campus area to clear up space for things that are essential to teaching. "The Sub Station will be taken down Getsinger said. "There's no use of that building to the university Getsinger said that it will cosi nothing to go ahead and start using the land for parking. He said that when the time comes to take down the Sub Station, the contractor with the best bid will be hired. "It seems to be a fairly simple building (to take down) Getsinger said. However, he said that expensive problems such as asbestos removal have been known to arise in the past when removing older buildings such as the Sub Station. Getsinger said he doesn't expect it to cost very much to prej?are the accounting firm for administrative of- fices, either. See DEAL page 4 Waste incinerator approved by state ECU and Pitt County Memorial Hospital share use Debra Byrne Staff Writer The state approved an air qual- ity permit last week for a new medi- cal waste incinerator to be built re- placing two incinerators that were once operated by ECU and Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH). The plan calls for a $3.8 mil- lion incinerator to be built which will burn waste from the two insti- tutions. This incinerator will be cleaner and more environmentally sound than the previous two. Gary Vanderpool. assistant vice chancellor for health sciences and administration, said the plan was endorsed and approved by the ECU board of trustees which then went to air quality division in Raleigh. The division then ran a public no- tice of the plan's intent. The envi- ronmental advisory commission then voted to endorse the plan and the state's approval was granted af- ter a meeting with the commission last week. The incinerator will be entirely owned by ECU, using their prop- erty and personnel. ECU will have a contract with PCMH to dispose of their waste as well. Vanderpool said that in the past, the medical school and the hospital each had their own incin- erator which handled immediate waste. New air sanitation regula- tions that were put into effect on Jan. 1, 1995 caused them both to shut down. Back in 1991, plans were dis- cussed on what to do with the waste if the incinerators had to shut down at some point. Currently, the medical waste is being stored or shipped out by contractors. The division of air quality has seen the design for the incinerator and are satisfied that the current standards for air quality have been met. Vanderpool said the building of the incinerator will not have a nega- tive effect on ECU, PCMH or the Greenville community. "For one thing, the incinerator will be cleaner, the second benefit is that we will be able to handle and be responsible for our own waste Vanderpool said. "The third benefit is that for the next 10-15 years we will be in control of waste management costs. The alternative would be to ship off waste and al- low someone else to control the cost The money for this incinerator will come from Medicare reimburse- ments and will be built adjacent to the shut down incinerator at the School of Medicine. The bid date for this incinerator will be some- time this month and will take a minimum of 18 months to build. Recycling effort needs boost Pizza boxes and " other trash placed in campus trailers Joann Reed Staff Writar You could be wearing your old Pepsi bottle or driving on streets paved with used tires. Recycled materials are used to make our clothing as well as to carpet the floors in our apartments and residence halls. Recycling efforts are being made here at ECU, but more student participation is needed to help existing programs be successful. According to Associate Director of Facility Management Inez Fridley, a study done by the recycling coordina- tor showed what things students throw away that can be recycled. "Students are shown to have more aluminum to recycle, while the rest of the campus concentrates more on white paper recycling Fridley said. Recycling bins have been provided in residence halls for students, but they are not being used as much as they could be.

Armistead, along with his staff if three, is responsible for all of the col- lection and maintenance of all recycled materials done on campus. "We mainly keep our aluminum recycling efforts separate because it provides the money to keep our efforts going Armistead said.

Tuesday,February 13,1996 The East Carolinian Health organizations promote Condom Day Amy L Roystar The ECU Student Health Center supports the American Social Health Association's (ASHA) designation of Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, as National Condom Day. "Of course, we support it said Dr. Donna Walsh, director of health pro- motion and wefrbeing. Walsh said that ECU peer health educators are gearing up to do educa- tional workshops from Feb. 14-21 that will teach students how to use contra- ceptives correctly and about the many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that present in our society and on campus. Any organization can call for a peer health educator to give a STD presentation at one of their meetings. ASHA is an 82-yearoid nonprofit organization based in the Research Triangle Park, N.C ASHA's goal is to stop the transmission of STDs, while educating the public ASHA sponsors National Condom Day and distributes the brochure, Condoms. Contraceptives andSTDs in order to remind couples to use condoms whencngaging in sexual intercourse on Valentine's Day or any other day. Walsh said that peer health educators stress in their workshops the im portance of condoms and their correct use. "We encourage people to use condoms if they choose to be sexually active Walsh said. "And teach them how to use them effectively" Couples who use condoms "love responsibly the brochure stated. "Pro- tecting yourself doesn't mean giving up sexual pleasure. It just means finding ways to have sex more safely Walsh said that some students still believe that a condom can be used more than once and that others foil for the fancy packages of condoms that have been proven less effective than the recommended latex condoms. The brochure highlights the most effective ways to use the male and female condoms as well as the effectiveness of various birth control methods at preventing STDs. Among the methods evaluated, the male and female condom ranked "very good" at the prevention of STDs, while the Pill. Depo-Provera, Norplant and IUDs ranked, "none The male latex condom is the most effective method for preventing STDs. Natural membrane or animal skin condoms are not effective, the brochure stated. Even the male condom does not always protect against herpes. Putting on the male condom before any sexual contact leaving space at the tip, and rolling the condom all the way over the erect penis are the proper methods for using the condom. ASHA estimates that one in four American adults have STDs. Two-thirds of new infections occur in people under the age of 25. In a news release ASHA President Peggy Clarke pointed out that "many STDs have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, infected persons can transmit a disease without being aware of the infection" The brochure also suggests showing your love on Valentine's Day by practicing "outercourse meaning not engaging in sexual intercourse at all. "There are many ways to show toe and to give and get pleasure without having sexual intercourse the brochure stated. ASHA's brochure is available by calling their healthJine at 1-800-972-8500. Students with questions about STDs can contact ECU's health educator Heather Zophy at 3286794. The Student Health Center 3286317, located between Flanagan and Joyner, offers a $20 exam.

More than 100 guests arrived in the tiny Halifax County town of Tillery on Saturday for the Learn and Serve Community Kick-off celebration. This officially commemorated the begin- ning of the community health part- nership funded by the Learn and Serve America: Higher Education Grant The primary purpose of this grant is to support a campus based service-learning environment for stu- dents that benefits both the commu- nity served and the students involved according to Dr. Nina Sehgal, princi- pal investigator of the grant and project director. Sehgal said the one year Federal grant of $130,000 was received by the university in November and will be used to assess the health care needs of the population through surveys and personal health checks in a clinical setting.

The greeting card aisle is a sea of red and pink; heart- shaped boxes are turning up in store windows and florists have cleared room in their coolers for bulk shipments of roses. � But for many, Feb. 14 has the reputation of being the crudest of holidays. It's a day that sets couples up for disappointment and sends singles scurrying into fits of self- doubt and introspection. "I hate Valentine's Day said University of Minnesota student Ann Hawkins. "You have great ex- pectations, and it never turns out. You always end up disappointed, it's really stressful. Everyone else is getting flowers and You're not? Or the flowers don't arrive until 10 p.m. Or they do arrive, but they're wilted and sickly and look as if they've been snatched from someone's grave. So this year, Hawkins said she and her boyfriend are fighting back by not celebrating. "Valentine's Day gets to be like, 'I didn't get asked to the prom said Lib Roth, author of How To Get A Date.

"One reason is that men and women have different perceptions of Valentine's Day said Loyola University of Chicago professor Bren Ortega Murphy. She said that in the U.S Valentine's Day was tra- ditionally a "woman's holiday "Historically women have been the keeper of all that's gentle and ro- mantic in the pri- vate relationship said Murphy, chair- person of the com- munications depart- ment. "And Valentine's Day is a public celebration of romance. Tradi- tionally, she is not ����������� supposed to be the initiator Even now, Murphy said, some traditions still remain. "No one would think it odd if a woman received flowers and a man didn't Murphy said. "But if a man received flowers and the woman didn't While Murphy acknowledges that times-are-a-changin women still tend to have more expectations than men on this frilly holiday. "It's bad form to communicate that Murphy said. In other words, the guy should just know what to do. That men and women have dif- ferent perceptions of Valentine's Day is annoying, but not surpris- ing. Murphy said in her 1993 study of children's Valentine's Day cards she found that girls were de- picted in softer and more passive terms than boys by a 7-1 margin. Boys' cards tended to use "competitive mmmmmmmmmmmmillim terms like 'cool, all-star, winner while girls were depicted as sweet and ador- able Greeting cards, like advertis- ing, do tend to reflect and project our cultural perceptions of how things should be. For some couples, Valentine's Day acts as a catalyst, causing them to evaluate the way things really are.

"As a result, 60 years later, the population is very aged, very poor, economically dependent on farming and lacking adequate health care According to Glascoff, community leaders formed a concerned citizens group which applied to Sehgal for help with their health care needs. Sehgal, assistant professor in the department of family medicine, has been involved with Tillery since 1987 when the Student Rural Health Coa- lition sponsored their annual health fair in the town. Sehgal said ECU 'medical students, deciding that monthly visits were necessary to pro- vide care for those with no other re- sources, held their clinic in the old community center. The students would hang sheets, set up tables and attend to patients. After three years, Sehgal said, the volunteer medical students con- verted a sweet potato shed into a per: manent clinic and it is still in use to- day. "Most of my students get no credit for this work Sehgal said. "Now, the fourth year students get credit in their curriculum but the first, second and third year students still volunteer on their own. "Now the students go to Tillery twice a month to provide clinic visits and educate the patients on health- related issues to empower the people to take more control of their own health.

From a student's perspective, she said this program "offers the added enhance- ment of hands-on experience to see what these people's lives are really like and the daily challenges they face "Tillery is my classroom said Glascoff, whose community health students are involved in the program. "Some students have never seen these kinds of conditions and this will in- crease their understanding of rural health needs. We're having a wonder- ful time, too Susan Meggs, a graduate student who coordinates the undergraduate students agreed. "It's a privilege to be a part of a bridge between this self-reliant tiny community and the ECU medical com- munity Meggs said.

This academic year has proven to be one of the worst in terms of vandalism and theft in university parking lots. Week after week, TEC crime reports are filled with reports from students whose vehicles have been damaged, broken into or even stolen. These incidents have left many of us wondering why none of our many campus police officers have caught these vandals and thieves in the act What puzzles us most is that most of this destruction to property occur on cam- pus right in the parking lots around the residence halls (not way out in the freshman parking lots.) Maybe these criminals feel much the same way students do about hav- ing to cross the straits of Egypt to get to the freshman parking lot, so they target the ones closer to campus. Once upon a time, it used to be funny to watch the infomercials on TV that showed shady characters dressed all in black (complete with OJs toboggan) sneaking through city parking lots searching for vehicles not pro- tected by The Club or "armed with The Viper Now it's not so funny because many of us don't have these secu- rity systems, and we have to rely on the university to protect our parents' investments. One would think that the unholy cost of parking stick- ers would go toward establishing at least some small mea- sure of security. It's not like the university does not have enough traffic personnel to monitor the lots. (Try getting away with not dropping a quarter in a meter if you want to test that theory.) Why is it that no one spots the van- dals and thieves who have to take at least five minutes to break a window and steal a CD player, but a student can get a ticket for parking in the wrong space in a matter of seconds? On any given night a student can see a patrol car parked in the shadows as if the officer is on a stake-out looking for someone to break that oh so carefully thought out two-inches-per-hour speed limit Exactly who are these coppers supposed to be prosecuting - a student going 17 mph on College Hill Drive or the jerk rummaging the parking lots shopping for new stereo equipment? Either let us park for free and take our chances at getting ripped off, or use our $96 for some kind of protection to give us peace of mind. Why should we even have to pay to live in a residence hall if we have to sleep in our cars with base- ball bats to protect our goods? We're not asking for a Jetson-style security system com- plete with motion detectors and heat seeking laser beams or a fleet of motorized traffic cops stalking around the lots asking for student IDs. We are willing to settle for any improvement to serve as justification for having to fork over $96 for a license-to-hunt in the university's park- ing lots. Benefit rocks downtown Hey everyone, it's that time of year again - no, not the proverbial chocolatey, flowery holiday coming up on Wednesday, but something equally important. What I'm talking about and what all of Greenville is preparing for is the Seventh annual ROCK for REAL coming up or Thursday night. Are you going? You don't have to tell me (but if you would like to, drop us a line). What I am hoping is that besides the five great and extremely excit- ing bands that will play Thursday, you the concerned citizens of Greenville, will help keep one of Greenville's foremost non-profit pro- grams running for another 25 years. You do know that REAL Crisis will be celebrating its 25th anniver- sary this year, don't you? Do you know who will be playing at the At- tic on Thursday night? If you don't know the answers to either of these ,uestions then stay tuned, I'll give you more information soon. But first, let me explain the ad- vantages of having the REAL Crisis Intervention Center service in Greenville. First of all, its a 24 hour, seven days a week non-profit orga- nization that handles over-the- phone. walk-in and off-site counsel- ing, referrals and information to anyone who needs help. That's one advantage, but here's more: all ser- vices are free and confidential and Eric Bartels Opinion Columnist Because without your support, the REAL Crisis Center could not continue.

Is there a mol- ecule in your body that is not bounc- ing around even faster with every passing day, minute and second? Please tell me that tomorrow will be shorter than today because if it is, March 2 comes a little faster. I am boasting about spring break. No, not the spring break that is de- picted so poorly by all of those silly 70s movies, but the spring break that brings sun and road trips and waves that can rock you to sleep. Go to the beach! Go to the moun- tains! Go somewhere that provides beautiful scenery and activities that you can enjoy without a bottle opener please, so you will remember it 1 have a news flash for all of you out there in ECU land this is col- lege. What this means to the student is that his or her life has not yet turned into the rat race. This week that the university so gracefully provides is one that can really make the rest of the semester easier. Hey, here's a concept, the school giving the student some- thing that actually helps their experi- ence. This article is a plea for your grades, for your sanity, for your safety and lasdy, simply for your benefit that you use your break in a responsible but fun way don't waste it by drink- ing. This week is the appropriate one to publish this article because it is most likely the one where those who are planning a trip are scurrying around making sure that they have enough people to pay for accommo- dations, making sure that evervone who goes can get a ride and deciding on what will happen on the trip. As I commonly do, 1 will create a picture instead of tellinct about one. I don't know about you but I hate read- ing things that would be screamed if they were spoken. Know what I mean? It is 8:30 on the Friday morning that you are leaving on your trip. You slam your hand down onto the snooze bar that ends the deafening sound of your roommate's aiarm clock. Laying your head back onto the pillow you are aware of only two things it will Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist be nine minutes until the alarm goes off again, and you have two sets of snoozes until you really have to get up. Grabbing your stuffed giraffe that you won at the state fair last year when that little kid threw up on the gravitron, you roll over and the first of two dreams ensues Piling into a car that is loaded with people that you love to be with you buckle in and notice a brochure laying under the seat in front of you. Asking the driver to stop at the bank machine on the way out of town, you pick up the pamphlet and you hear music come over the radio ah, the first song of your trip. Inside this brochure you see sway- ing trees, health clubs, amazing golf courses and waitresses that bring you ice water while you soak up the rays on some crystal-white beach. You see yourself standing up and running into the water for a dip. After a few min- utes you towel off and go inside to take a nap in the hammock that swings peacefully on the patio of your bungalow. In the kitchen, your friends have just arrived from the store with a big bag of shrimp that you will boil and eat for dinner. After dinner, a three hour game of Trivial Pursuit will pre- cede your nightly stroll on the sand glaring up at the stars and creating memories for a lifetime. You shake you head and return to consciousness as your friend stops the car and you step out to see that what you had dreamed about is right in front of you Waking up you slam your hand again on the snooze bar and fall back asleep to enter ?nto the second dream, except this time the picture is a little different Climbing into the car that will take you to your spring break desti- nation, you are crowded by the two kegs that share the back seat with you. As you wipe the condensation that has rubbed onto your arm from the keg, you spy a picture laying on the floor. As you reach down to pick it up, a bottle from the front seat smashes you in the head and is followed by a, "sorry man from the front seat It rolls down by your hand and the last drip trick- les out and fills your nostrils with a horrible stench. The picture is of the house that you and your friends are going to. You realize that because you decided to spend so much money on beer and bottle openers that the lodging that you chose is most likely less than sat- isfactory. Slipping into a dream state, you picture your first afternoon swilling beer while sitting on the beach. At first you smile in anticipation but as the scene unfolds your facial expres- sion changes. Laying on the beach you down a twelve pack and top it off with a tall boy. Watching yourself pass out, you see the sun come out from hind the clouds and scorch you sweating skin. When you wake up you discover that the six mile walk back to your friends' cousin's house will not be so much fun with a third-de- gree sunburn on 80 percent of your body. As you see the week pass, you find that it flies by because your drunkenness exceeds new limits, yee haw, and you hardly remember any- thing except the paper that you didn't do before you left for the trip because you spent so long working on your fake ID When you wake up the day is creeping through the blinds and you know where you'li go. You'll go and have fun without finding yourself in the hospital right? any individual who looks for assis- tance through REAL can and will remain anonymous. Most impor- tantly, all services are open to ev- eryone from every socio-economic background and from every age group. By going to ROCK for REAL, you will not only help the Greenville community but you will help the REAL Crisis Center with its fund- ing. REAL is a United Way agency and receives most of its funding from the United Way and some through the state of North Carolina, but the biggest investment, of course, comes from you. Because without your support, the REAL Crisis Center could not continue. I Second, REAL serves anyone with the following information on problems concerning interpersonal, alcohol or drugs, family, community information and sexual assault. The REAL volunteers handle all calls and the information that you exchange with them will remain confidential. Finally, the REAL Crisis Center is always looking for volunteer cri- sis counselors, financial support and most importantly, publicity. The REAL Crisis Center helps the com- munity in so many different ways that your support, no matter how big or small, is always appreciated. Each year. 6,000 people in Pitt County and some surrounding coun- ties are served by REAL. So did you want to find out about the bands who will be play- ing at the Attic on Thursday night? They are some of Greenville's finest: Breed 13, Henry Acrobat, Unsound. Modern Pilgrims and Slow Children Playing. Hey. they will rock. Oh. and one other thing I al- most forgot. REAL Crisis will be 25 years old this year and what better way to show your appreciation than by either helping REAL celebrate its seventh annual concert or by volun- teering.

Letters to the Editor Eating disorders are not a joke To the Editor, The editorial titled "Ladies Chow Down" by Patrick Ware in your Feb- ruary 6 edition was alarming. Al- though it appeared that Mr. Ware was trying to present a humorous and somewhat sarcastic view of premen- strual syndrome (PMS) and its rela- tionship to binge eating, in our opin- ion, the article was inappropriate and misguiding. Furthermore, in light of the fact that the article was published during Eating Disorders Awareness Week, the presence of this suppospdly humorous article trivializes real issues while aiso detracting from the seri- ousness of the physical and psycho- logical issues that many women struggle with. Premenstrual syndrome is a very real condition that typically precedes the onset of a woman's monthly men- struation. It potentially involves sig- nificant changes in body chemistry, available energy, mood states and a wide range of accompanying behav- iors. In additions, those women who do suffer from a bulimic eating disor- der (bingeing andor bingeing and purging) often find their condition is exacerbated by the once monthly hor- monal imbalances associated with their menstrual cycle. Clearly, this is no "picnic nor is it something that most women have conscious control over If Mr. Ware's message to women is that it is OK to "chow down our alternative message is: If you feel you have little control and that your eat- ing behaviors interfere with your dairy life or your self-esteem, there is help available through appropriate campus and community resources. We encour- age you to seek this help instead of chowing down. Respectfully, Russ Federman, Ph.D. Director, Student Health, Mental Health Services Sara Sheperd, Ph.D. Psychologist. Student Counseling Center, and Chair.

Take it as you will Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Is it too horribly unroman- tic of me to say that Valentine's Day is a tool of Satan? Well, okay, maybe so. But I don't care. There's something rotten about this holiday, some- thing that, when I really start thinking about it makes me want to gun Cupid down like a rabid dog. On the surface, Valentine's Day seems benevolent enough. It's a holiday to celebrate love, and I'm all for iove. Love is a great emotion; my girlfriend and I en- joy it a whole heck of a lot Be- ing in love is one of the most wonderful experiences a human being can have. But Valentine's Day isn't just about love. It like Christmas, is about merchandising. And it's not jolly merchandising, like at Christ- mas. No, Valentine merchandis- ing is blatantly manipulative. You've seen the ads. They've been all over TV for the last couple of weeks. Come on, you remember Can't figure out how to tell her that you love her more than life itself? Go to Hallmark! They'll express your undying passion for you, without all the greasy mess! You're in trouble if you don't get her that special Valentine gift but you're stumped. What gift could possibly represent all that your loved one means to you and you alone? Roses, of course! What better way to express your own unique kinda love than to give her the same gift every other poor ignorant shmuck is giving his girlfriend? Men!

In addition, customers are auto- matically given a free subscription to a feature called "Eyes and Editors Simply type in the topic of your choice and each time a new book is published concerning that topic, an e-mail mes- sage will be sent to notify you. An- other perk is a reviewer's section in- cluding brief descriptions of each book and reviews done by both the Amazon stafi and other customers.

Amazon Books is based in Seattle, and shipping cross- country will cost $3-5. In two to five days, the book will be in your hands. The school bookstore is more conve- nient but also more expensive, so if your budget is tight, maybe Amazon is for you.

English professor reads tales of love Dale Williamson Senior Writer Greenville's creative writing com- munity is steadily growing, and ECU continues to nourish this growth by offering venues for creative writers to share their work. On Feb. 14, ECU will get a creative boost when Joe David Bellamy, au- thor of such works as Suzi Sinzinnati and Atomic Love, reads in celebration of Valentine's day. Bellamy's read- ing is entitled "Love Stories for Valentine's Day and will offer the public as the title suggests, love sto- ries. While Bellamy's reading may focus on love and all the connota- tions associated with that idea, his work and career re- veals a versatile in- dividual who has made his mark on the literary world. "I spent my for- mative years in North Carolina Bellamy said, in ref- erence to his time as a student at Duke University. "And my first main influence was a Southern writer Bellamy has always respected Southern writers, and he desired to reach that level of artistic expressive- ness. While he does admit growing up in Ohio may have disadvantaged him in the Southern genre, he asserts that he does feel a connection to the South. "My connections to North Caro- lina were renewed by coming back here he said.

P�ay44U4e IReatew ECU Playhouse shines under an eerie "Moon" Jennifer Coieman Senior Writer "A witch-boy from the mountain came. A-pinin' to be human, Fer he had seen the fairest gal A gal named Barbara Allen "Dark of the Moon" is based on an old Appalachian folk song called "The Ballad of Barbara Allen In the prologue to the East Carolina Play- house production of the play, John the witch-boy (Ryan Christopher Cox) and Barbara Allen (Allison Dennis) meet in the woods while the rest of the cast sings the ballad off-stage. The use of "line-out" singing (where one member of the cast cails the line out before the rest sing it) combined with the slow, "twangy" singing style makes the result absolutely haunting. With such a phenomenal begin- ning, the natural inclination is to think that the show can not possibly sur- pass it and must therefore get worse from there. Fortunately, that is not the case with this performance of "Dark of the Moon 1 came prepared to be freaked out and i was not dis- appointed. Before 1 can even begin to dis- cuss the acting in this show, I must make mention of the set and lighting. Phenomenal. The appearance of the set could go from normal country vil- lage square to haunted forest with little more than the change of a light. It was extremely adaptable, and highly effective. The lighting set the mood for the show from the very beginning. The blues and purples at the opening added to that mysterious, eerie feel- ing that I thoroughly enjoyed through- out the show. That said, I can move on to the more difficult part of the review: what I thought of the show itself. Let me start by saying I just plain like this story. It's an interesting twist on the old "Romeo and Juliet" theme, and although I had seen the play per- formed before, 1 discovered all new- things to love watching this version. I thought I knew what to expect of the music, having seen a few dis- jointed run-throughs. I was wrong. The tidbits 1 heard while the show was still in rough rehearsals were noth- ing compared to the complete e ffect with costumes, set and proper se- quence. Director John Shearin more than did his homework when select- ing folk songs for the show, and it showed. I know from experience that I never know what to expect from the CD Reviews East Carolina Playhouse actors, so I won't even pretend that they didn't surprise me as usual. This was the first chance I have had to see Allison Den- nis in a leading role, and it was worth the wait She made an outstanding Barbara Allen. Her combination of innocence and sensuality made for a very real portrayal of the fickle Bar- bara. Ryan Christopher Cox again gives an outstanding performance, some- thing 1 am beginning to expect from him. His John is likable and loving to Barbara, and yet cold-hearted and dangerously savage when threatened. The witches themselves were ex- ceptional. The Dark Witch (Alayna Hamilton) and the Fair Witch (Amanda Whitford) were deliciously wicked. Farah Lisa Whitley-Sebti was a wonderful surprise as the Fiddler Witch. Her fiddle worked instead of words to mock John and Barbara's love affair right along with the other witches. The Shadow Witch (Elizabeth South) was the only one I couldn't figure out at first 1 kept waiting and waiting for her to say something, and it wasn't until after the show was over that I realized that shadows don't talk. After coming to that conclusion.

Spanky. Alfalfa. Buckwheat and the rest of Our Gang were parodied on Saturday Night Live a decade ago. so that may be recent enough to jog the memory of some of the younger readers out there. On this double CD box set, 100 of the old background tunes played during the Little Rascals show have been faithfully reproduced for your listening pleasure by a Dutch band known as The Beau Hunks. The story of how this collection came to be is almost as good as the music itself. None of this music has been available in this form before. For the last 60 years or so, the only way to listen to Little Rascals music was to watch the videos. Who cares, right? Well, do you remember how good those old Warner Brothers cartoon themes were during Bugs Bunny? They al- ways punched up the action and im- proved the comic timing. AH' of that music was written by Carl Stalling and Raymond Scott, both considered now to be geniuses of film composi- tion. Both have had their music im- mortalized recently on The Carl Stalling Project and Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights: The Music of Raymond Scott, in fact. Scott has gained some newer fans because his music is also used on Ren & Stimpy. That same respect has now been given to Roy Shields, the man behind all of the music of the Little Rascals (and Laurel & Hardy, too), through the hard-working efforts of Dutch bandleader Gert-Jan Blom and his or- chestra. The Beau Hunks. Blom. already familiar with Stall- ing and Scott's music through his other orchestras (with names like The Boulevard of Broken Dreams Or- chestra.

Most fans in this area are ac- customed to seeing Old Dominion and Lefty Driesell's James Madison Dukes on top of the standings. Old Dominion is still in the upper half of the standings at second, but they're topped by the "new kid on the block Virginia Common- wealth. VCU, coming from the defunct Metro Conference, has brought a new physical style of play to the CAA with a front line that is around 6'8" apiece and are all over 200 pounds. Sitting atop of the CAA with an 11-1 record (18-7 overall) it's clear to see that VCU has made an immediate impact on its new af- filiation. Despite the one blemish, com- pliments of the ECU Pirates in Greenville earlier this season, the Rams are riding an eight game win- ning streak, their longest since the '8485 season when they chalked up eleven in a row. This momen- tum could give VCU a good chance at finishing their first season in the Colonial with only one loss and sew up the top seed in the conference tournament on their home floor, The Richmond Coliseum. Jeff Capel's Monarchs are all alone in second as of this past week- end and their win over surprise last place James Madison. ODU looks to at least keep their second place standing, but that could be in jeop- ardy with the Monarchs remaining schedule. Even though all but two games are at home for Capel's troops, the two road games will be at the pesky George Mason and the ever danger- ous American University. Along with those battles, the Monarchs will have to play host to the Pirates who beat the second place team and seemed to match up well with their big front line. That brings us to what makes this conference race so dangerous the teams in the middle of the standings.

That's what any high school football player aspiring to play in the college ranks wants to be asso- ciated with, and what every college and university in the country wants to be in hopes of luring talent into their program. For years ECU has played second fiddle in the recruiting war to the other Division 1A schools in North Carolina (UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, Duke and Wake Forest).

Condoms must be properly used in order to provide effective protection. When an individual purchases condoms, they must make sure that the condoms are made of latex (not natural membrane material such as sheeplamb skin), be sure they con- tain spermicide (Nonoxynol-9), be sure they are in date and be sure they are manufactured in the U.S. or Japan (these two countries indi- vidually test each condom prior to packaging). Storage of condoms is also very important. Condoms should be stored in a dry, cool environment. Storage in extreme cold or heat, or condoms stored in direct sunlight can cause damage, making them in- effective. Individuals should also exam- ine condoms before use to be sure there are no holes or tears. Condoms are relatively inex- pensive. They can purchased over the counter in almost any phar- macy. They are sold at the Student Health Center (15 for $2). They are also available in vending machines in the residence halls. Condom Week is a preventive technique aimed at reducing the risk of sexually transmitted dis- eases. Since one out of every four college students is likely to have an STD, college campuses are a prime targeted population.

BEAU from page 8 LAJ V JE. from page 8 original source: the short films them- selves. Using multiple film prints and a small number of original transcrip- tions and notes, they began to reas- semble the music piece by piece - a painstakingly slow process that took several months. They then brought in original period equipment, so that the music would sound authentic, and set about the task of recording what they hoped would be a close approxima- tion of the Little Rascals' music. The Beau Hunks are so good at what they do that almost all of the pieces re- corded live were put on the album as is, without editing or mixing. Since the release of the collec- tion, praises for The Beau Hunks have poured in from such notable people as underground cartoonist R. Crumb, Beach Boy Brian Wilson, and film criticLittle Rascals scholar Leonard Maltin, and such notable publications as The New Yorker, The New York Times and Billboard maga- zine. Listening to the 100 short tunes (they range in length from the four second "Laugh" to the six minute "Shield Suspense Medley") it's easy to see why this music is so adored. Equally sweet and nostalgic, this is pure childhood set to melody. My only gripe is that there are no Shields recordings to hear in their original form. All have been lost and that is a shame. The Beau Hunks have done the best job anyone could have recreating Shields' sound and style, but having heard their version it makes me want all the more to hear how Shields would have done it him- self.

Spires � HIGH POINT (AP) - Turn left through a gate off Pine Lodge Road - a one-lane, unpaved dirt road in Davidson County - and what you find could astound you. Country folk have lived on the wooded, rural road for generations, raising their children and growing old on the same dirt paths they scampered along on as children. But the road's newest inhabit- ant, a cloaked, mysterious man from the Far East, also enjoys the stark simplicity of the area. Stop your car at the end of the driveway, traverse a short bridge, and rap on the door of the small shed. Soon, a thin, ascetic-looking man with a shaven head, clad in or- ange and wrapped in an orange blan- ket, may appear in the doorway, blinking his eyes rapidly as he tries to understand what you're saying. Yes. in the middle of the woods in rural Davidson County, you've stumbled upon a Buddhist monk. Bunrith Thun is a liberal arts major at Davidson County Commu- nity College. He fled Cambodia and came to America seven years ago. desperately hoping to escape the brutal terror inflicted by the Khmer Rouge upon his countrymen in Cam- bodia. After four years in Springfield. Mass he moved to his peaceful cabin in the woods. It's more than just a cabin, how- ever. The site has been referred to as a Cambodian commune. BUFFALO WILD WINGS & WECK "HANK'S HOMEMADiflCE CREAM At first blush, it looks more like a summer camp. There's an enormous building used as a meeting hall, bridges and walking trails, two ponds, a swim- ming pool and a temple. The temple isn't complete - there's not enough money in the small church's treasury to build the temple church officials want to build. Rugs crisscross the floor of the makeshift temple, surrounded by pictures of the abbot. Thun and other monks on the walls. Numer- ous statues and various religious items fill every inch of the enormous altar at one end of the room. Paint- ings of Buddha and his original five disciples line the walls. Most of the statues and paint- ings come from overseas. Building the collection is a slow. laborious process. Thun said. Although the collection may im- press outsiders. "It's just a build- ing Thun says with a shrug. His abbot. Chok Toumka. will make the decision about when there is enough money to build a real temple. Toumka is a bald, ageless man. with a face that looks inscrutable and wise until he grins, which makes his eyes disappear and causes him to look more like a happy bulldog. In his own country. pre-Khmer Rouge. Thun would be a community leader, a man with power. Now, he wakes up early and prays, goes to school, comes home and prays. It's a lonely life, he said - he doesn't get out much, besides classes You won't see Thun walking the streets of Lexington, an area not known for Eastern religions. How- ever, about 100 Cambodian families have quietly settled down in the bar- becue city during the last few years. Thun said. When Thun began taking classes at the community college, his English was limited. So he became friends with his advisor. Dottie Burkhart. going to her home to im- prove his language skills. Burkhart was careful not to schedule a visit during dinnertime. Thun isn't permitted to eat after 11 a.m. and has to subsist on water, soda and coffee the rest of the day. Empty bottles of Mountain Dew lie on the floor near his bed. The Lexington area's Cambo- dian population multiplies several times a year, when Thun hosts reli- gious celebrations attended by hun- dreds of people. The goal is to raise money for the host temple.

It's cheapened the meaning of the holiday, turning Valentine's Day into a big con game. But that's not the only thing that makes Valentine's Day so rotten. The rampant pain it causes helps, too. Sure, love is great, if you're in love. But if you want love and don't have it. love sucks. There's nothing worse than suddenly finding yourself submerged in the stuff, normally sane people exploding into gooey volcanoes of love, spreading romance around like so many amorous Johnny Appleseeds But that's what Valentine's Day is like to the love-lorn.

We run around being romantic all day, blithely flaunting our love, oblivious to the pain of others. Every card, every rose, every cheesy commercialized expres- sion of love drives a stake through somebody's heart. Valentine's Day is love overload. It's arbitrary, meaningless and cruel. It's rotten to the core, and it's high time we did something about it I'm not suggesting we do away with the holiday. I must admit, I like celebrating love. Anniversaries and other, more personal, things are more important, but Valentine's Day is kind of a nice thing to have around. But couldn't we celebrate it more quietly? Don't send gifts to your loved one at work. It's just going to make somebody feel bad. Go away somewhere quiet with the person you love, and do your love stuff behind closed doors. Don't depress or disgust the rest of the world with your own private stuff. And, for God's sake, if you're go- ing to give your lover a present, stop giving such easy gifts. If someone's worth the trouble it takes to be in- volved with them in the first place, they're worth the trouble of giving them something special.

Morrison finally took the test but never fought after Nevada sus- pended him for medical reasons only hours before his bout with Arthur Weathers. Boxing officials refused to say why, but a source told The Associated Press that Morrison's HIV test came back positive. Morrison had cited religious reasons for his initial refusal to take a test for the vi- rus in the days before his fight. He left a doctor's office but re- turned the next day to submit a blood sample. "I was called and told he did not want to take the test said Dr. James Nave, chairman of the Nevada, last fought Oct. 7 when he was bloodied in getting stopped in the seventh round by former WBC champion Lennox Lewis. A British promoter for Lewis, Panos Eliades, said the former WBC heavyweight champion was in Ja- maica and hadn't heard about Morrison's suspension. "We'd better get our man in there (for testing) Eliades said. "There was a lot of blood in that fight Virgets said Morrison was scheduled to fight two weeks later mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, in Richmond, Va and was then going to meet a top-10 contender on the March 16 undercard of the Mike Tyson- Frank Bruno heavyweight title fight at the MGM Grand in Las Ve- gas. Virgets said "We were going to get either a Tyson fight or a light for one of the titles � Tom Virgets Nevada Athletic Commission. "I said he would take the test or he would not fight and that's final The blond heavyweight boxer and occasional actor flew home im- mediately to Oklahoma after he was suspended Saturday and was in se- clusion at his ranch home near Jay, about 50 miles from Tulsa. A woman who answered the door Sunday afternoon at the home spoke inside with the boxer for a few minutes before returning to say he did not wish to speak to reporters at that time. Morrison's promoter, Tony Holden, said late Sunday that the boxer had been moved from his home so he wouldn't be bothered by the media. Holden said he would receive a written medical report from the commission on Monday. "At that point, we will see an- other doctor here Holden said. "We'll get retested to see if Tommy can pass whatever he didn't pass in Nevada. We don't know those people. We don't know those doc- tors out there. Let's go get retested Holden said a news conference on the matter could be scheduled Tuesday. Morrison's trainer, Tom Virgets, said he told the fighter the news of his suspension about 4 p.m. Satur- day in the crowded casino at the MGM Grand hotel. Morrison was to have gotten $50,000 to fight Weathers, the first step in a package of fights under promoter Don King that was to have led to a possible $4 million payday against Mike Tyson later this year. Virgets refused to comment on reports that Morrison tested posi- tive for HIV, but said Morrison planned to see a doctor on Monday in Oklahoma "We're going to go and get re- tested Virgets said. "I would say at this point in time that everything is speculation Morrison, who beat George Foreman in 1993 in his last fight in King had promised Morrison either a title fight or a fight with Tyson by the end of the year. "We were well on our way up the ladder, looking to get where we wanted to be Virgets said. "We were going to get either a Tyson fight or a fight for one of the titles Virgets said he went looking for Morrison on Saturday afternoon af- ter the Nevada commission informed him of the medical suspension. He said he found the boxer in the ca- sino of the MGM Grand and sat him down and told him the news. "It's a shocking thing to hear when you're told you've been medi- cally disqualified Virgets said. "He wanted to know if there was any- thing we could do about it The boxer's mother, Diana Morrison, said she and her son did not know what the suspension was about "I'm just taking it as it comes. I'm not going to jump to any con- clusions Diana Morrison said. News of Morrison's suspension seemed to go almost unnoticed in his hometown. Some residents said they no longer follow the boxer's career and others said he has grown too arro- gant for the small community. But Frank Allen, manager of a Jay grocery store, said that when Morrison is in town he often eats at the local cafe and occasionally drops in at the town's bowling alley. He said he was surprised by the reports about Morrison's suspension. "I really wasn't expecting any- thing like that Allen said. Although state boxing officials declined to comment on Morrison's case, the commission's chief physi- cian, Dr. Flip Homansky, said that if a boxer would test positive for HIV, the test would be repeated. If it still comes up positive, a more sophisti- cated test is administered. That analy- sis takes 24 hours. "So, in essence, we would check it three times Homansky said. Morrison, 27, was paid $2.1 mil- lion for his sixth-round loss to Lewis, a fight that could have led to his first title shot since he lost the WBO heavyweight crown to Michael Bentt in October 1993. He is 45-3-1 in a seven-year career with 39 knockouts, including a 12-round decision over Foreman in 1993 for the WBO title.

The crowd of about 5,000 at the MGM Grand Saturday night booed when told Morrison would not fight in the semi main event on the Felix Trinidad-Rodney Moore IBF welter- weight title fight. In addition to his boxing career, Morrison was an actor who played a featured part as a boxer trained by Sylvester Stallone in "Rocky V He most recently had a guest role last month on the "Cybill" show, where he also played a boxer. Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said he was under orders from Ne- vada attorney general Frankie Sue Del Papa not to disclose the reason for Morrison's medical suspension.

The Lady Rams shot 44 percent in the first half and took a 19- 33 lead in the first half. At half time VCU led ECU 19-33. The Lady Pirates improved their field goal percentage in the second half to 40 percent, while VCU's percentage dropped to 37 percent, but it wasn't enough and the Lady Pirates lost by 20 points, 51-71. Justine Allpress scored 18 in the loss and pulled down six rebounds, while Tomekia Blackmon added 10 and grabbed three off the boards. Tracey Keiley finished with eight points and eight rebounds. That loss dropped ECU to 3-7 in the conference before traveling to Harrisonburg. Va. on Sunday to take on the Lady Dukes of James Madison. ECU shot 44 percent in the first half and 80 percent from the free throw line. JMU shot 42 percent in the first 1 JbAJVl from page 11 ning back position with four players already on scholarship. But, due to the fact that Wilson is an eastern North Carolina native and a 3.0 stu- dent, Logan made room for him. "I was not going to let him get away Logan said. At other skill positions, a couple of other notable athletes were signed that fit into the Pirates' offensive scheme. Rashan Burns is a 64, 240 lb. Toms River, New Jersey native that can play tight end or even split out at he wide receiver position. He's big, ast. mobile, and can run under the half and only 41 percent from the line. At half time ECU was only down by one point 33-34. However, ECU could not hold on to that lead and lost the game 54-66. The Lady Pirates shot 32 percent from the field in the second half. However, the Ladv Dukes shot 52 percent and 100 percent from the line. JMU never sent ECU to the line in the second half to shoot free throws. Allpress and Blackmon led the ECU scoring drive with 16 points each. Mary Thorn also scored double digits with 10. Leading rebounder was Laurie Ashenfelder, who despite only having two points, pulled down eight re- bounds. ECU now drops to 3-8 in the CAA and 7-13 overall. The Lady Pirates will have this week to prepare for George Mason who will be coming to Minges this Friday night.

Burns was heavily recruited by the likes of National Champion Ne- braska. Syracuse and Illinois.

"He's a 5-10 kid that can run like crazy Despite the acquisition of these highly regarded offensive skill players, Logan's emphasis was filling future voids at offensive line and linebacker. This coming season ECU will be los- ing LB's Marvin Burke, Carlos Brown and B J. Crane, who are three and four year starters for the Pirates. "We're anticipating the loss of those guys and we needed to replen- ish that area, along with our offen- sive line said Logan. "We also brought in a punter and a kicker to give Chad (Holcomb) and Matt (Levine) some competition and to play some guys when the turnover begins Probably the most valuable line- backer, or recruit for that matter, that Logan signed is Raymond Massey. Massey is a 6'3 238 lb. Charlotte native that follows the outstanding linebacker tradition at ECU, along the lines of Morris Foreman, Mark Libiano or Robert Jones. He is rated as the no. 19 prospect in North Caro- lina by SuperPrep Magazine and was the defensive MVP of the North Caro- lina squad in the 1995 Shrine Bowl. Massey had 189 tackles in 1995, six sacks, three fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown), caused five fumbles and had one interception. Massey's coach at Olympic High School, Scott Stein, called him "the most dominant player I have coached in 12 years Massey was ail-conference and All-CharlotteMecklenburg County. Overall, the Pirates have a superb recruiting class, and it will remain so year after year if the winning tradi- tion started by Steve Logan at ECU continues. "I feel real good about it and I'm really proud Logan said. "We've done a good job recruiting the best athletes and then finding them a place to play. I really believe they can play the game, but that's what we went out to do and we got it done. I'm really proud of the way we recruited Logan went to the Liberty Bowl with 20 or 21 commitments in hand and said the Pirates will indeed sign the full complement of 25 players. Logan had no negative surprises from the recruits. 210 E5TII Stjeel 7r8 8�V12 FLANNEL BOXERS Buy one pair get second pair FREE MEN'S JEANS 25 OFF already low price COCKTAIL WEAR up to 80 OFF ' 'atalog Connection Division Of Ql-yj Moil.
