nr-n m February 15,1996 Vol71,No. 39 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 12 pases SGA makes up for lost time Around the State $15,000 appropriated to campus groups Wendy Houston Staff Writer CHAPEL HILL (AP) -The stu- dent government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will decide this week whether to take action against a conservative campus magazine accused of anti- Semiticism. The Carolina Review pub- lished a picture Tuesday of Aaron Nelson, a Jewish candidate for next year's student body president, with horns and a pitchfork. The magazine, which receives university funding, did little to hurt Nelson's chance at Tuesday's elec- tion, however. He won by a land- slide, The Daily Tar Heel reported Wednesday. Nelson received 1898 votes, compared to 696 for runner- up Lee Connor. DURHAM (AP) - The former executive director of a children's health-insurance company is suing Blue CrossBlue Shield of North joann Reed Carolina. Staff Writer Karen Epp Mortimer claims she was wrongfully fired from her seven-year job with Caring Pro- gram for Children in October after exposing what she called theim- proper, secretive takeover of the company by Blue Cross. Around the State Due to the previous weather con- ditions, the Student Government As- sociation (SGA) had a rather exten- sive meeting Monday, Feb. 12, in or- der to catch up with appropriations and other important announcements. Julie Thompson, SGA appropria- tions chair, and Jonathan Phillips, SGA rules and judiciary chair, spoke up for a two-thirds vote to suspend rules, which would allow for immedi- ate funding and quickly pass certain constitutions. The votes passed with unanimous consent. The New Generation Campus Ministries was claimed as the first re- ligious organization to be funded by SGA on this campus. During the voting session, Justin Conrad, senior class president, brought questions, pertaining to the amount asked for to fund advertise- ments, to the SGA representatives' attention. "They are a great group said Ian Eastman, SGA president, in defense for the organization during a period of positive debate. "They have been real patient. They have 60-plus mem- bers and they do a lot for this cam- pus. We need to think positive about this At the beginning of the meeting a document showed a total available balance of $67,676. During the cur- rent academic year, SGA has appro- priated $31,996 to student organiza- tions. "We've appropriated close to $15,000 today Eastman said. Many organizations were funded. Eastman announced the new, weekly executive office hours. Every Tuesday and Thursday office doors will be open from 11 a.m2 p.m. Indi- vidual office hours will still be main- tained at the officer's convenience. Elections are right around the corner. Official dates were announced. Filing for a positionoffice begins Tuesday, Feb. 27. The last day to file will be Friday. March 1. Filing takes place in the SGA office on the second floor of Mendenhall Student Center. Elections are set for March 27. In addition to the appropriations made, on Monday, six new SGA appli- cants were screened and sworn in this past Monday. Allied health expands programs ECU, Chapel Hi receive largest appropriations RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - State- supported colleges and universities need more money through 2000 or they will continue to suffer a "brain drain" as faculty leave for other jobs, according to a new report It is the latest in a series of pronouncements by higher educa- tion advocates who said Virginia spends less on public colleges than it did six years ago even though enrollments have increased. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The sister of bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh said she broke down and testified about him af- ter federal agents threatened to prosecute her. Ms. McVeigh described an in- terrogation room plastered with "big posters with my picture on it, right alongside my brother's pictures, and all these list of pos- sible charges, against me, with ev- erything ranging from five years to the death penalty Around the World TOKYO (AP) - With a huge fallen boulder finaliv blasted to rubble, rescue workers brought in heavy earth-moving equipment Wednesday to begin digging to- ward 20 people trapped four days in a crushed highway tunnel in northern Japan. LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland (AP) - A bus driver suf- fered eye injuries when a gaso- line bomb was thrown through his windshield, police saidWednesday. It was the second incident in- volving a bus in Londonderry since the IRA ended its 17-month cease-fire on Friday with a bomb in the Docklands district of east London that killed two people, wounded 37 and caused an esti- mated $125 million damage. The UNC board of governors has approved a $784,000 expansion plan for three Allied health programs at ECU. The allocation of these funds will provide needed improvements and growth in the departments of physi- cal therapy, occupational therapy, and communication sciences. According to Dr. Harold P. Jones, dean of allied heath sciences, in the N.C. legislatures last session, the N.C. board was given funds to distribute between all the state universities' al- lied health programs. "Because East Carolina and UNC Chapel Hill are the only two schools in the UNC system with all three al- lied health programs, these two schools received the majority of the money Jones said. "ECU is the larg- est producer of allied health profes- sionals in the state The much needed money will al- low more faculty support for all three programs. This means that three de- partments will be able to accept more students into the OT, PT and commu- nication science programs. "There is a high demand for al- lied health professionals in the job market Jones said. "The average stu- dent in these programs will be offered at least three jobs, offering from $30,000 to $50,000 before they gradu- ate Although there is a high demand for allied health professionals, only a chosen few get into these programs. The average student applying at the school of allied health has a GPA of 3.6 or more. "There are not many schools, not many slots and a high demand for these professionals Jones said. "It is not only a problem here in North Caro- lina, it is a national problem Because of requirements for cer- tain faculty to student ratios for the three accredited programs, the School of Allied Health has a limited enrollment. "This infusion of money will give us six new faculty members, operat- ing expenses such as secretaries and should give us the ability to buy new equipment for these areas as well Jones said. The funds will also allow the three departments to accept more students. The expected increase will be from 40 to 48 students for physi- cal therapy, 28 to 36 students for oc- cupational therapy and communica- tion sciences and disorders will in- crease from 26 to 34 students per year. Center treats alcohol, drug abuse Services offered to deaf persons, pregnant women Sherri Parrish Staff Writer In response to the growing num- ber of American's affected by alcohol and substance abuse, treatment cen- ters for the disease of addiction are commonplace. Because North Carolinians are not exempt from the effects of abuse, the state of North Carolina has estab- lished three public treatment facilities, each serving one of the state's three regions. Greenville is the home of the cen- ter serving the eastern area of the state. The Walter B. Jones Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center, lo- cated at 2577 W. 5th St offers help to those consumed in the tarmoil of alcohol and substance abuse in a resi- dential setting. "Our center is a 76-bed residen- tial treatment center said Director Phillip Mooring, director of the cen- ter. "In a year's time we admit ap- proximately 1.200 patients and our patients come to us from 38 counties from the eastern part of the state The majority of the center s pa- tients pursue its services on a volun- tary basis of admittance, and have first attempted counseling in an out-pa- tient setting. If the patient and their counse- lor feel a more intense form of treat- ment is necessary, the patient is re- ferred to the center through the patient's community mental health department "The first effort for someone drinking and drugging is always an out-patient program Mooring said. "If it's felt the patient has not been successful, they can leave their envi- ronment or get off the street and live with us Mooring said that treatment at the center lasts about 21 days and then patients are referred to continu- ing counseling programs. When the patient is first admit- ted, the patient's needs are assessed to determine the most beneficial pro- gram of treatment. Once a treatment program has been developed, the pa- tient is involved in structured activi- ties day and night. According to Mooring, patients See CENTER page 3 Homecoming starts planning theme Staff Reports Do you think it is too early to start thinking about your plans for homecoming? Though homecom- ing is several months away, the ECU Home Coming Com- mittee has been actively planning for next year's Home Coming events. "We start planning early because there is a lot to do said Amber Huffman, chairperson of homecoming. "There are a lot of little technical things. It is better to start planning now so that things will be easier when homecoming comes along The theme for the 1996 Homecoming is "Showtime Homecoming week will include autograph signing the selection of king and queen, can food drive. Pirate Fest, a residence hall decorating contest, banner con- test and the football game against Arkansas State. The Homecoming Steering Committee planned the activities for next year. People on this committee are representatives from various organizations. The float contest will follow the same guidelines as they did this year. A third of the float has to repre- sent the theme. Huffman said she believes this theme is good because it will give students a broader topic to work with when thinking of float designs. Huffman said she was very pleased with 1995's homecoming and hopes to have the same success next year. Pirates on the Street Photos by PATRICK tREl Do you recycle? If so, what items? Jeff Peppard, graduate student "I would like to recycle more often, but the apartment complex I live in makes it very inconvenient Jacob Swing, sophomore "Yes. I recycle aluminum cans. Glna MacDonald, freshman "I don't recycle because I'm too lazy LaKelsha Palmer, freshman " recycle aluminum cans in the cans available in the dorms Professor seeks judgeship Sharon Franklin Staff Writer "Pitt County has given me many opportunities An adjunct professor of criminal justice and legal advisor to 'the Stu- dent Government Association (SGA) has announced his candiacy for district court judge. Galen Braddy, a Washington County native, currently prac- tices law in a private firm in Greenville. An ECU alumnus, Braddy played Pirate football for two years. His younger brother, Steven, was a member. of the '92 peach Bowl '� '���� team and the youngest Braddy brother, Chris, was a freshman linebacker this past season. "Pitt County has given me many opportunities Braddy said. "I want to give something back. In my four years of practicing law, I have seen people become disgruntled with the legal sys- tem. "They complain of overcrowded dockets and a lack of respect for them as individuals. 1 want to turn it back into a people's court, with a fair and honest application of the facts to each individual case. The cloth should be cut to fit each particular situation Braddy said. Braddy said the district attorney is elected by the people and for the people and everyone in the courtroom should be treated with respect "Everyone, including the defen- dants, victims of crime, law enforce- ment people and those from the DA's office should be given a fair opportu- nity to be heard he said. Braddy said he believes this elec- tion should be important to students � because the district court judge may, un- fortunately, be one of the elected officials students are most likely to encounter.

"The majority of students who call me for legal advice have problems with their rent or upkeep of their apart- ments Braddy said. "Maybe their heat isn't working properly or they experi- ence difficulties getting back a deposit I also get calls about domestic issues and tickets. "I can't represent students directly because of my contract but I do advise them of their legal rights. Students are an important voice in the community. I encourage them to be active, study the issues, and become more aware.

New telephone system simplifies income tax filing Stephanie Ann Eaton Staff Writer The IRS is helping taxpayers by making filing taxes much easier this year. The IRS is offering services that allow people to file taxes over the phone, receive refund checks quicker and easier and make informa- tion more available over the Internet. An estimated 23 million taxpay- ers will be able to file taxes over the telephone through an electronic fil- ing system called Telefile. Telefile is an automated system available in Spanish or English and can be reached anytime day or night. The program was set up to help tax agencies with paperwork and will help reduce human error. "The new filing system will help streamline the government said Chris DeSimone, an account execu- tive who handles the IRS for August Lang & Husak, Inc. "It will cut down on human error and it will us cut down the number of staff that the govern- ment needs to handle taxes To be eligible for Telefile, taxpay- ers must be single with no depen- dents, have a taxable income of less than $50,000, have filed a 1040-EZ form previously, live at the same ad- dress as last year and have received Telefile information in their federal tax booklet mailed to their home. The Telefile system computes fed- eral tax returns after filers enter re- quested income information from their W-2 forms using a touch-tone phone. Telefile will calculate the earned income tax credit for eligible callers. Then Telefile will announce on the phone how much refund, if any, you will receive. If you owe money, Telefile will tell you the amount All taxes must be paid by April 15.

You first must fill out a worksheet, then you make the call and it's done. The Telefile call is completed by entering a Personal Identification Number(PIN). The taxpayer's PIN acts as his signature.

In the "classroom" patients learn about the disease of addiction, taking care of their health and changing their lifestyle. Patients also have the opportu- nity of attending 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). "The heart of what we try to do here is to make sure that pa- tients clearly understand the impact that their drinking and drugging has had on every area of their life Moor- ing said. "Then our desire is to help them in accepting responsibility for their behavior and providing help to change it The Walter B. Jones Center has recently begun two unique programs of services. It is the only center in the state with a treatment program available for the deaf and hearing-impaired. The center also offers a prenatal program to pregnant addicts. Once the mother has delivered her baby, she is able to keep her baby with her as she continues treatment. "Our prenatal program is one of the few services like this available in the country Mooring said. "We are very proud and gratified that these services are available Open since 1969, the center re- ceives state and federal source fund- ing. The current cost is approximately $210 a day per patient, in which pa- tients are charged on the basis of their ability to pay. "We try to let taxpayers know that whenever we get an addict into treatment, there's less probability that they will steal from you or commit a crime Mooring said. "We are treat- ing their addiction, and when they leave here they no longer need to sup- port their habit with these behaviors Mooring said that for taxpayers, the center is a good return on their investments. But the center benefits the state in more than one way. The center's secondary mission is offering its ser- vices as a regional training center. The center has added a Residency Training Program for the ECU medi- cal school department of psychiatry. Additionally, a graduate level in- ternship program was developed with ECU'S department of child develop- ment and family relations, marriage, and Family Therapy Program. "North Carolina is so fortunate to have a center like this Mooring said. "We have excellent employees who are dedicated to the patients who come here, and our relationship with ECU really strengthens what we do here PHONE from page 1 cess returns and send out refund checks, which are generally received within three weeks. The Telefile phone call is free. Telefile is operating nationally. This has been the first year that this program has been run on a national level. For the last several years the pro- gram has been tested regionally in the Maryland area. "There are no drawbacks to this program DeSimone said The Pro- gram �; nuick and simple. It is perfect for collect atudents T irs n plans to offer direct depos.ts of tax refunds to most taxpay- ers, and the IRS is planning to broaden the amount of information, forms and publications people may receive on-line with their personal computers. Until now, people who filed elec- tronically were the only ones who could get direct deposits. The direct deposit announcement means those who file paper taxes can receive refunds elec- tronically. To get a direct deposit tax- payers must file a Form 8888 Direct Deposit of Refund, which includes vi- tal bank information, and include it with their return. The Internet will provide big. gen- eral guides to personal and small busi- ness taxes, there will be a library of all tax regulations, tax tables, forms, pub- lications earned income ux credit tables and rates and a collection of answers to the most popular asked questions.

For info call Heidi 3556166 ,1 �� , Thursday, February 15, 1996 The East Carolinian C4 Our View The downtown experience is about to change. No, we're not getting a decent club down there. But to get into the existing clubs, you're going to need a membership. The ALE is tightening the screws on downtown Greenville, you see, and the membership drive we'll be experiencing soon is how the club-owners will be complying with ALE officials. This membership thing is not new; technically, all the down- town clubs have been members-only from day one. They have to be; it's the law in North Carolina. It's just that the ALE hasn't been enforcing the existing membership laws very care- fully. For all the details on this, you can turn to the Lifestyle section and read the feature story. Here, we're going to look at how the membership law will affect you, the bar-hopping stu- dent. Well, first of all, your wallet's going to get fatter. Don't get too excited; the clubs aren't going to start handing out cash or lower their entrance fees. No, your wallet will be fatter because of all the membership cards you'll have to carry around with you to get into your favorite watering holes. No card, no en- trance. Unless, of course, you come with a member. Since there's no limit on how many people a club member can bring in, en- trance to the bars probably won't be as difficult as it sounds. In fact, aside from the extra time it's going to take the guys at the door to check cards and figure out who's coming in with whom, the memberships themselves probably won't change many of the downtown dynamics we're all used to. So carrying the cards around might be a pain. So the lines might be a little longer at the Elbo, as their ever-vigilant door- men take a little extra time making sure that nobody who shouldn't be there gets in. These slight inconveniences are very slight indeed. If that's what it takes to keep downtown open, so be it So what if the bars in the Triangle area aren't held to the letter of the membership law? Sure it's not fair, but think of all the benefits we could reap from being singled out by govern- ment. I mean, it certainly makes ECU look good. Since we're try- ing to shed that dreaded "party school" image, a crackdown like this can only help the cause. And the new system will probably make it easier to catch underage drinkers. Each club will have to have a list of its mem- bers' names, and possibly the names of their guests. This way, if they've got your name and you try to drink illegally, they can much more easily report you to the university. This, of course, will make it easier for our school to punish those with the audacity to flaunt the law in so abominable a fashion, again making us look less like a party school and more like Hmmm. What exactly does this make us look like? , Enforcement of membership laws won't change Greenville's nightlife too much, or will it? Browns lost in move They come to games wearing or- ange, white and brown faces. They consume more beer per seat han any other fans in football or in any other professional sport in America. They are more than happy to call them- selves "Dawgs It is the single most intimidating place to play football in the National Football League. Well, it was. The team is the Cleveland Browns and they will soon be moving to a new address in Baltimore. The owner, Art Modell, claims that keep- ing the team in Cleveland was caus- ing him to lose money. It is difficult to see how any team can lose money when they receive equal sharing of TV revenues, a big portion of the gate receipts and merchandise sales. The salaries are capped off by a new ceil- ing as well. The owner has done two things. He has made the mistake of not wait- ing long enough in Cleveland and he has betrayed the teams fans. In the world of American cities, there is a shortage of high caliber professional sports teams. This creates an incredible demand by big cities for these teams, and they are willing to do almost anything to get them. The case in Cleveland is that the city w.nted to protect its taxpayers as much as possible. It wanted to retain rights to concessions and protect the union labor that staffed the stadium. Art Modell didn't wait for a second answer from Cleveland. Baltimore by Chris Arline Senior Opinion Columnist During the pa 10 years, Cleveland has averaged over 70,000 fans a game. gave him a deal ana he took it The big issue of concession fees is what is driving teams in similar situ- ations to move as well. Dallas gets 100 percent of the concession and parking fees from its home football games. This alone can result in millions of dollars in addi- tional revenues. Baltimore gave Modell a similar deal. He pays a small rent fee. In re- turn, he gets all concession, parking and on site advertising fees. He will also get 50 percent of all proceeds coming from college football games and rock concerts. The biggest mistake is betraying the fans. By ignoring their love he has shot himself in the wallet. The great- est single source of income for pro- fessional sports is in royalties. These royalties are received whenever a team �0? rje ast �ar0Hnlan Tambra lion, Editor-in-Chief Crlssy Parker, Advertising Director Celeste Wilson, Production Manager Wendy Ronntree, News Editor Marguerite Benjamin, Assistant News Editor Mark Brett, Lifestyle Editor Brandon Waddell, Assistant Lifestyle Editor Amanda Ross, Sports Editor Craig Perrott, Assistant Sports Editor Paul Hagwood, Staff Illustrator Cristie Farley, Production Assistant Jeremy Lee, Production Assistant Serving the ECU community since 1925, The East Carolinian publishes 12,000 copies every Tuesday and Thursday.

Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary licensed product is sold. This includes cups, jackets, hats and so on. Modell will undoubtedly be bet- ter off with the stadium deal he has now but had he waited he could have gotten a much better deal in the long run in Cleveland. The fact of the matter is that had he waited another season in Cleveland the fans' pressure would have caused the city government to give in. They would want to keep their jobs in elec- tion time and wouldn't want the eco- nomic void created by the loss. They would have built him a new stadium, given him the concessions and pack- ing revenues and allow him rights to the in stadium advertising. He would not get the concert and college rev- enues but it is worth the trade off. During the past 10 years, Cleve- land has averaged over 70,000 fans a game. This puts them in the league's top five and ahead of a lot of other teams with bigger stadiums. Those 70,000 plus buy an awful lot of T-shirts and ball caps. Now they are angry and want little to do with the team that betrayed them. Baltimore is in the middle of .a market flooded with pro teams like Washington (the best team in the his- tory of organized sports), Philadel- phia and Pittsburgh. Therefore, there will be few fans in that area who don't already have a strong loyalty to a team and will not be buying their apparel. Way to be a team player. Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders jhan from the arguments of its opposers � William Penn Everyone is special This year, the world Olympics are being held in Atlanta, Ga. There will be a big media circus trying to make oodles of money off of these class ath- letes performing for their country. Wouldn't it be nice to see some of that media attention slide away from the norm and mundane and spotlight on something that truly deserves to be in the spotlight? Wouldn't it be even better if this group of people were not just the run-ofe-mill athlete either? We are talking about some very spe- cial people here, Special Olympians. The Special Olympics is a na- tional competition that has been go- ing on for a long time. Yet, 1 do not see that much publicity or advertise- ment for it. Why is that? Why does the media decide not to make a big circus out of these athletes? They train and work-out in preparation for the Special Olympics just as other ath- letes. The answer to these questions is simple, Ignorance. That's right, Igno- rance! Ignorance has prevented people throughout history from learn- ing about how great other cultures or civilizations are, or in this case how great athletes truly are. Since there is such a misconcep- tion about who the participants are that compete in Special Olympics, I will tell you. The athlete's in Special Olympics are kids, young adults, even fully grown adults. The age range var- ies dramatically. OK, so there is not a real age qualification. So perhaps it is the ath- letic ability that makes the athletes special? Well unless the athlete was born with unnatural powers that make them faster than a speeding bullet, their athletic ability is about as good as yours and mine. What makes a Special Olympian Brian Lewis Burns Opinion Columnist To try your hardest and give all that you have, mates a winner. so special is their desire to overcome a disability they have. These athletes are not dumb or retarded. What a Special Olympian is, is a person who was born vith a disability trying to overcome it. That's it! See, there is nothing too difficult to understand here. Special Olympians are just like you and me. Everyone loves to have fun, laugh, smile and win. That is what the Special Olympics is 2ll about. In the Special Olympics program, every- one is a winner. Those are not just words either. To try your hardest and give all that you have, makes you a winner. It does not matter if you cross the finish line as the first or even the second person. What matters is that in the process of that race, you gave it your all. Isn't that a lesson that we were taught a long time ago? It's real simple. So I have a problem under- standing where the misconception that the Special Olympians are re- tarded or dumb or freaks. I just don't understand! I have worked with Spe- cial Olympics for four years now and I have the advantage of having worked with some of the greatest track and field athletes 1 have ever seen, not to mention the undefeated soccer team I helped coach. When I was a coach, I saw these kids giving me the best they could. They might not have been able to understand quantitative functions or be able to operate a Netscape main- frame, but you know what? They were able to do so much more. They were are able to be open and honest I did not see any hate in them or anger, at least for their disability. The only an- ger and hate I saw was coming from the ignorant people who neglected to realize that here is a group of people who were born not so perfect and have learned to overcome these disabilities and have good clean fun. This kind of hatred does not stop the kids. No, this is almost like fuel for the fire. These kids are special. They have to deal with today's soci- ety which is filled with hatred and love, good and evil, happiness and sadness, while trying to fight a dis- ability at the same time. That is more than most people have to deal with their entire life. If you ask me, the retarded people are those who cannot accept that ev- eryone is different. I have brown hair and brown eyes. My friends have blond, black, and red hair. They are obviously different from me, but I still accept them the same. I don't under- stand why people cannot accept Spe- cial Olympians for who they are. No one is perfect! Just because you have a mole on your back doesn't make you a bad person. So why does it, in the minds of many people, make it so bad to have lessof an IQ? Perhaps it's just me, but I don't see why people have to be so cruel. We should accept someone for who they are. Letters to the Editor No salt, sand should mean no school To the Editor, I would like to respond to the ar- ticle in the Thurs. Feb. 8th edition of TEC entitled "Students weather ice, snow Chancellor Eakin stated "There are approximately 5,000 students liv- ing on campus and an estimated 2.000 students living within walking distance from campus. The university did not want to take away from these students' education What about the other 10,445 students who had to travel the treacherous roads of Greenville and surrounding areas. Even for students within walking distance, their educa- tion may not have been taken away, but what about their safety and secu- rity? On Tuesday morning at 8.00 a.m when classes were back on schedule, there was little evidence that any salt or sand had been applied to the roads or sidewalks on campus. This made it extremely difficult and dangerous to get to class. I feel it was ridiculous to ex- pect anyone to get to campus in those conditions. If the administration wanted things back to normal, than sic ad- equate preparations should have been performed before scheduled classes. The next time a decision has to be made about whether to cancel classes or not EVERYONE involved should be considered and adequate preparations should be made before classes are sched- uled again.

Few have to con- sider whether or not they're members of the local nightclubs before going in for a visit The ALE (Alcohol Law Enforce- ment) recently met with downtown club owners and operators to ensure they are abiding by the law with regard to "members and guests only" policy. North Carolina law states that for a business to receive a permit from the ABC Commission to sell mixed bever- ages andor beer and wine, it must be a restaurant or a private club. If the business is a restaurant at least 40 per- cent of its sales must derive from food. But for clubs, it must be an estab- lishment for "members and guests only" to receive the same permit The ABC license costs the same either way ($750), and various other taxes and licenses are also charged by the county on liquor sales but the proceeds go to county funds. "Clubs pay more taxes on their li- quor. The rate is about $2.80 more per fifth of liquor) said Ken Gilliam, Per- mit Compliance Director. The only difference, aside from food sales, is that private clubs must be for members and guests of members. "It's not a new law explains Cecil Leggett Supervisor for ALE District 2.

His films are typically filled with not only visuals that magically transform a gunfight into an operatic moment but also complex characters and stimulat- ing plots. Broken Arrow, Woo's latest film and his second venture into the dark territory of Hollywood, is not a typical John Woo movie. The characters are more iconic figures than actual human beings, and the plot is predictable. Still, Broken Arrow does what any good ac- tion film should do: it delivers on the action. With all its flaws and limitations. Broken Arrow still stands out as one of the better action fests in recent memory. John Travolta and Christian Slater star as Vic Deakins and Riley Hale, two military pilots in charge of a couple of nuclear warheads while flying a routine drill. After quick character introduc- tions, the rest of the plot is easy enough. See UP page 9 L Cliches bog down Travolta shoot 'em up Ike Shibley Senior Writer With a runaway bomb, a sarcas- tic villain, a female character who wants to prove her worth and a per- fectly sculptured hero who must use his brains as well as his brawn to stop the villain, Broken Arrow sounds a lot like Speed. The similarities exist because of Graham Yost, the screenwriter of both films. What passed for wit in Speed now seems hopelessly trite and cloying. The first film succeeded because of a tight script that left little time to think about the absurdity of the action. Yost desperately tries to keep the script of Broken Arrow tight, but instead makes the story cluttered. Three, count 'em, three, helicopter crashes occur. By the final crash, the audience can sense the telegraphed ending of the copter and yawns as yet another machine explodes into flame.

But if you're like a lot of students, you don't have the time or money to go there. Never fear. Mardi Gras is here! It's alive and kickin' at Mendenhall tomorrow night. This year promises to be bet- ter than ever. The highlight of the evening will be the coronation of a king and queen, chosen by cake and the baby Jesus. The cake will be served to all comers, and the lucky Mardi Gras partyer who gets a piece with a little plastic baby Jesus in- side has a chance of being king or queen. The new royalty will then par- ticipate in the celebration parade, complete with a Dixieland band. Wanna-be despots shouldn't worry - the plastic Jesus isn't hard enough to damage delicate royal dentures. In addition, favorite events from previous years will be back, like video kareoke (complete with costume and background changes), Lady Luck Ca- sino and Bourbon St. Bingo (com- plete with prizes), a dance (complete with deejay), free pool and bowling, a mask contest and, finally, food, food, food! The Cajun style buffet is im- mense and chock full o' goodies like French Gumbo Soup, Chicken Jumbalaya, spiced chicken wings, Louisiana Mud Pie, Red Velvet cake and double chocolate bread. Sound good? There will also be flavored coffees and donuts served through- out the night. The free temporary tattooing will also be back, along with the new Alpha Experience. This is a capsulized virtual reality style ride that seats about 12 people. A short film is shown and the seats move along with the feature, so it feels like you're a part of the action. Lynn Caverly, who oversees the event, says, "I think everybody's ready to get out after that bad weather, and it's before midterms, too, so it's the perfect time One very significant change is a new guest policy created to bet- ter protect students. Students who wish to bring guests must present their IDs to get guest passes ahead of time. These passes can be picked up from the Mendenhall Central Ticket Office or any residence hall community service desk. They must be attained prior to 5 p.m. tomorrow, or the guest will not get in.

Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Emmet Swimming Wake Derek T. Hall Staff Writer After years of touring, practicing and cutting demos, Emmet Swimming has a new deal and is taking the cluD scene by storm. The four-member cult originates from Fairfax. Virginia and marks new territory wherever they may roam. The album Wake originated from older material that the band had put together some time before the deal. Whatever the case may be. the album is one to be reckoned with. "Jump in the Water" is b perfect choice to open this album. Characterized by a sonic guitar and rhythm tracks laid down by singersongwriter Todd Watts, the song will rate high on any scale. Also on the card are Erik Wenberg on guitir, Rob Shaw on bass, and Tamer Eid, a drummer who keeps time like no other I've ever heard. Because of the tight rhythm section laid down by Watts, Shaw and Eid, Wenberg is able to flow freely. It is his guitar that keeps every- thing on track. Taking you from one place to a higher plateau is one thing, but to be able to bring you back to where you came from and still hold your inter- est is another. With this band, Wenberg is able to do that The band compliments each other very well. "You're so Pretty is a song that I believe everyone will get into, mostly because of its lyrics. "The streets are so cold tonight the cops are looking for another fight Fairfax is a dirty town where I've spent six years after moving around sings Watts. He's talking about both the hardships of being on the road and of living in the same town forever. It is this strong message that earned Emmet Swimming three "WAMMIE" awards this past November in Washington, D.C. They were voted Alternative Rock Group of the year, and this album was named both Album of the year and Alternative Rock Album of the year. Watts himself was voted Alternative Rock Vocalist of the year. If you're looking to see the band, chances are they're right outside your window. Always on tour, always Emmet Swimming.

"Singled Out" Surely you've seen "Singled Out" Hosted by Chris Hardwick and former Playmate of the Year Jenny McCarthy. this show plays to the wacky hopes and dreams of single folks attempt- ing to find that special someone in these relationship-troubled times. "The Dating Game" in the '70s. "Love Connection" in the '80s. and now this. Same stuff, different decade. Okay, so maybe "Singled Out" has a unique way of getting our two lovebirds together? They sure do, and it's called a cattlecall. Instead of "Dat- ing Game which let swingers choose from three hopefuls, "Singled" begins with 50! Contestants have to narrow down the dating hopefuls by lumping them into catagories, then doing away with the ones they don't like You know, kind of like the Nazis did. Round one is �fmmmm like this: the contes- tant (in this example, a woman) checks out a big tote board with six main catagories listed. The episode I caught had these for the guys: Age, Facial Hair, Butt, Chest, Hair Length, Kissing Style. Once a catagory is picked (say "Hair Length"), you get to see the sub-catagories and choose from there. "Hair" had these subs: Lex Luthor, Superman or Lois Lane. As you can see from this example, there is an attempt made to make these catagories kind of hip and culturally- referenced. The contestant cuts the pack from there (whether she under- stands the reference or not). Round two begins with the em- barrassmentdemeaning stage. Here, the contestants are forced to perform silly, debasing tasks to prove them- selves somehow worthy of this person's love. Physical and verbal abuse from the show's hosts, silly cos- tumes and wigs, sexist language, and other such nasties pop up during this proving phase of the competition. Back where I come from, we called this "dating The selection has been weeded down to three, and it is almost over. The final round is like a speed round. There are squares marked on the floor, and the "lucky" three answer ques- tions, trying to match their answers with the contestant. If they do, they move forward. First one to the center wins. In many ways, this round is more embarrassing to all con- cerned, both the show's cre- ators as well as the players. The questions are often rude and insensitive (thought up by the show's writers), and the answers the players give show the whole world how stupid they are. The last episode I watched offered the question "Spit or Swallow" to the female contestants. I can only assume they were talking about gum. Now, maybe I've been a little hard on this show, comparing them to Ary- ans and all. Have I been unfair? After all, it's just a bunch of wild kids try- ing to meet go out and see each other naked. Maybe I should reconsider Hell, no! This show takes all the awful elements of dating and concen- trates them into a 20-minute broad- SeeOUTpage9 The Dating Game 'Love Connection and now this. Same stuff, different decade. . "��" � -m 8 Thursday, February 15, 1996 The East Carolinian DOWN from page 7 Yost used an elevator, a bus and a train to tell the story of Speed. In Broken Arrow he uses a plane, trucks, a jeep, three helicopters, an elevator, a boat and a train. Why Yost included so many modes of transportation can only be explained by his inability to fill the screen with anything more substantial. Broken Arrow plays more like a documentary on transportation than a finely choreographed film. The excesses eventually jade the viewer. John Woo. the Hong Kong direc- tor who only recently came to America, tries his best to breathe some life into Broken Arrow, but he gets handcuffed by the dull script. Woo works best when the script is only an outline of a story. In The Killer (his best-known Hong Kong film) and Hard Target (his first American film), the story was a paradigm of cinematic minimalism. The finale of Hard Target takes up nearly a third of the film, leaving the viewer plenty of time to enjoy watching Woo orchestrate his violent ballet without complicating the action with intricate plots. Woo is a master of excess.but the excess should come from Woo himself, not the screen- writer. Broken Arrow does include some interesting sequences, like an open- ing credit that cuts between an over- head shot of a boxing ring and close- ups of a red boxing glove being smashed into someone's face. The in- teresting shots are interspersed with mundane action cliches - a bomb about to explode, someone hanging from a moving train, and a fleet of crashing vehicles. Woo's previous works seemed fresh and daring be- cause he avoided many of the usual cliffhanger cliches. The term "broken arrow" refers to a missing nuclear warhead. The title is the only inventive aspect of the film. Vic Deakins (John Travolta), "Deak" to his friends, organizes the abduc- tion of two nuclear bombs. How he makes the underworld connections to do this is unanswered, as is the way Deak organizes the theft without the military becoming suspicious. Riley Hale (Christian Slater) spars with Deak during off-hours and shares the cockpit of a stealth bomber with him during work time. Pitted against each other in the Utah desert Hale tries to find a way to stop Deak. Hale meets Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis), a park ranger, who then agrees to help Hale foil Deak's plans. The stars, like the audience, seem a bit jaded by the script. They all smile appropriately, flex their muscles when required and utter swaggering, sarcas- tic insults on cue, but they seem bored by the ordeal. Travolta borrows his cool attitude from Chili Palmer, his character in Get Shorty, and inserts it into an evil brain. Though Travolta is fun to watch as a villain, Chili Palmer was a lot more interesting. Christian Slater seems hopelessly overmatched by Travolta and cannot hold together the role of hero. Samantha Mathis is wasted even though her character gets to match wits and brawn with Slater's. The rest of the cast is useless. Delroy Lindo, a fine actor, and Howie Long, the former Los Angeles Raider, do little except read their lines. Frank Whaley and Kurtwood Smith play Washington planners and have the most useless roles in the script The entire Washington subplot should have been deleted. John Woo will hopefully direct many other great films. Broken Ar- row will just not be considered one of thern.

The script written by Graham Yost is intriguing, but fairly standard. The bad guys do what they do for money, while the hero fights to save us all. Still, our protagonist and antagonist are a joy to watch as they chase each other across the desert in every conceivable fashion: trucks, helicopters, boat and train. As unlikely a casting choice as Christian Slater may be. he turns in a solid performance and is an impressive physical presence.

Unlike many typical action film heroines, Mathis is a character who will take initiative on her own. At least she's not clinging onto the hero's arm. waiting for him to act The big cheese in the film, though, is John Travolta, who hams up his per- formance and walks with the cockiness of a $20 million man. Travolta is pure joy to watch. He gathers up all his Travolta-esqe traits and blends them with a character who is slightly loose in the head. Don't expect a total over-the- top performance here. Travolta adds nice subtleties to his villain and creates someone who is a bit too egotistical for his own good. What will bring audiences to the theaters, though, are the action se- quences. While many of the action scenes may be too derivative of other films (one truck chase screams Raiders of the Lost Ark, for example), many- other scenes exhibit the style typical of Woo. Hundreds of movies depict the hero shooting down a helicopter, but not many show characters dodging the spinning helicopter blades as the vehicle crashes. Moments such as this rejuve- nate a genre that has almost totally be- come redundant. In fact. Woo is doing for the ac- tion genre what Sergio Leones did for the western. He is taking basic con- cepts that we've seen before and add- ing atmospheric elements to them. Hans Zimmer's off-beat musical score bleeds into Woo's visual wasteland and creates a movie with a unique person- ality. When Woo captures Travolta ris- ing from the desert horizon in slow- motion, we giggle at the absurdity of the moment. But that's what the film is all about Travolta, like the film it- self, is larger than life, so Woo has as much fun as he can. Broken Ai row is exactly what it sets out to be: a fun. intense, and ac- tion-filled ride. Once the plot is set in motion, the action only slows down to fill in the expository gaps. The film- makers don't waste time trying to build up characters or add complexities to the plot. Why should they? Some films are made for engaging the mind and some are made simply for the pure sen- sation they create If you want a more complex ac- tion film. Woo's The Killer and Hard Boiled are availahle at most video stores. If you just want to eat your pop- corn as you throw reality out the win- dow for a couple of hours. Broken Arrow is now at a theater near you. On a scale of one to 10, Broken Arrow rates an eight. CLUBS from page 7 times the business owners need to be reminded of this law The law means several things to business owners. First, there must be at least a three day waiting period to become a new member. Each club must keep an alphabetized membership ros- ter at the door and give proof of mem- bership to each member. But North Carolina law does not specify any re- quirements for membership to private clubs or how many guests each mem- ber can sponsor into the club. The ALE falls under the depart- ment of crime control and enforces all regulations set forth by the ABC Com- mission. The agents are usually found doing field investigation and have ar- rest power. What all these laws and regulations ante after , Shipments atalog onnection Division Of rOIfiy 210 E. 5th Street. 758-8612 MS 10-6; SUN 1-5 mean to students is fairly simple. To patronize a club, one must be a mem- ber or guest to be admitted to a private club. The rationale behind membership is that it makes someone responsible for everyone inside of the clubs. Critics of this tightening on mem- bership restrictions claim that the Greenville area is being unfairly targeted by the ALE. "Go to virtually any club in Raleigh, Charlotte or Greensboro and they won't ask for a membership card, just a cover charge complained one source who requested their name not be disclosed. For ECL' students, all these regu- lations mean is that we must become members of the clubs we want to visit. So the next time you head down- town, make sure you've got your mem- bership card.

It was receiver coach Doug Mar- tin who got the promotion to Offen- sive Coordinator, but the with a few inner staff changes, Steve Logan's pro- gram filled the void very readily with McManus, who comes in as a well ex- perienced football coach. "We are excited to have Jerry join- ing our staff and adding someone with his caliber Logan said about the new addition. "He brings with him a tre- mendous amount of coaching experi- ence. He has recruited the eastern part of North Carolina the past sev- eral years and this will be a tremen- dous asset to our program McManus will not only be the new running back coach, but he will also be used for recruiting in the east- ern portion of North Carolina which is always a priority in Logan's pro- gram.

McManus, who played out his college career at Wake Forest as a quarterback in 1975-76, started his coaching career as a graduate assis- tant under the "Trench fighter" Bill Dooley while at Virginia Tech. He also served as a defensive back coach at Division 1 schools like Pittsburgh and Tulane, before returning to his alma mater in 1987. At Wake, McManus reunited with Dooley and served as an offensive assistant and coached such Demon Deacon passing leaders as Mike Elkins and was on the staff of the 1992 Independence Bowl Championship team. This was the Deacs' first bowl appearance since the 1979 Tangerine Bowl. Since joining Caldwell's staff in '93, McManus was serving as a line- backer coach as well as being Caldwell's recruiting coordinator. Despite being well-respected and well-loved in Deacon country, McManus's first love was offense, and taking the spot on the ECU staff would put him right back in the thick of the offensive game. "The biggest thing with this de- cision is the opportunity to get back into the offensive side of the ball McManus said.

(AP) - Dale .Earnhardt's quest to finally win the ' Daytona 500 after 18 unsuccessful tries '� is being guided by a new team nanager and crew chief. Team owner Richard Childress doesn't expect the key ; changes to slow Earnhardt down a bit "Every year we come down here thinking this is the year we're going to win the Daytona 500 said Childress, ; who has fielded the last 12 Daytona 500 entries for Earnhardt "I don't have a . different feeling than I've ever had com- " ing into this race. - "Some day we'll win it but it's just been one of those deals where some- thing always seems to keep us from it" he addedAH you can do is prepare yourself, do the best you can and let �ti� chips fall where they may. Maybe they'll fall in our direction this year. We're as prepared as we've ever been If they do, a lot of the credit will go to crew chief David Smith and team manager-engineer Bobby Hutchens.

They're not the people behind the scenes any more The changes were necessitated when Andy Petree, who had been Earnhardt's crew chief for three seasons and helped him to two of his seven Winston Cup titles and a runner-up fin- ish last season, was offered the oppor- tunity to become part-owner of the team run by Leo Jackson.

The recent news liiat heavy- weight boxer Tommy Morrison tested HIV positive was a shock to everyone. Morrison admits he had a promiscuous past, and now he is paying for it in the most unfortunate way. However, he will not be the only one suffering. Aside from family, Morrisons' former oppo- nents must be questioning the last time they stepped into the ring with him. As everyone knows, boxing is a sport in which blood is usually a norm. If I was one of his opponents, I would be scared to death. Morrison joins other ath- letes who have contracted the HIV virus.

Ashe had no control over the way he contracted the virus, but Johnson too admits that in his earlier days he had unpro- tected sex. I think every athlete start- ing from high school should be given a mandatory AIDS test Researchers say the only way the virus can be transmitted is though unprotected sex and blood transfusions. Although athletes don't have unprotected sex with each other during sporting events, they still are risking the danger of infecting their teammates if they carry the virus. If someone has an open wound and body fluid, like blood, gets into the wound that is a way it can be transmitted. There were many times in high school when I was changing and showering after one of my games, and discovered I had an open cut suffered in the game that I didn't even know about. I would look down and see my dried blood. The ironic part is that I didn't even know I had been cut until afterwards. What if that had been someone else's blood? Nowadays when athletes dis- cover blood on themselves they might wonder the same thing. I know the athletic world is taking more precautions to prevent anything catastrophic from happening to any of their athletes. For example, in college ball if you have a cut that draws See VIEW page 11 Hoopsters battle in local tourney � Rec Services plays host to basketball tournament David Gaskins Rec.

Trainers are also wearing rubber gloves for safety when they treat bleeding athletes. With the return of Magic, the NBA says it has educated the league about the AIDS virus. Four years ago when Magic attempted his first come- back, Karl Malone openly expressed his displeasure playing with someone who was infected. When Magic came back this time, Malone wasn't as dis- approving about Magic's return. However, I think athletes should have worries about playing with a teammate that has been infected. To me, it's too dangerous to let it go untalked about. The scariest part about these athletes with HIV is the fact that many probably don't even know they carry the virus. Even the healthiest looking person, who takes great care of themselves can be a carrier. Most athletes are in tip-top shape and they wouldn't even give it a second thought that they might be a carrier. That is why when these famous ath- letes announce they are HIV positive, it is a shock. I hate to say this, but I think one day someone will be infected with the virus from playing and then the sporting world as we know it will be in such turmoil, nobody will know what to think anymore. Testing for the virus early on could only help prevent any mishaps like the one mentioned above. Until there is a cure everyone, including athletes, should be more aware of who they come in contact with and under what circumstances. 1 just hope it doesn't ever come to the point where more and more athletes make that fatal announce- ment. The only way I want to see ath- letes leave the game is through re- tirement after many long years of playing.
