Frank J. Salamon, director of University Dining Services sent out the computer message in hopes that it would rally stu- dent and faculty ���� support of Sweetheart's and prevent the restau- rant from shutting it's doors. "The purpose of the e-mail mes- sage was to let people who have supported the res- taurant know that it may have to close Salamon said. Sweetheart's is a separate restau- rant located in Todd Dinning Hall, which opened in August of 1994. The restaurant offers formal dinning for lunch Monday through Friday be- tween 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. The restaurant is named after Claudia Pennock "Sweetheart" Todd, the wife of Dr. Richard Cecil Todd, a late professor emeritus of history at ECU Jennifer Behr, the chef and man- ager of Sweetheart's, said she does not understand why more students and faculty have not made the res- taurant a success.

Behr emphasized that Sweetheart's can customize lunches for groups of up to 30 people. "Our items range in price from $2.25 for a fruit cup up to6.25 for a prime rib sandwich Behr said. Behr said that the restaurant has repeatedly asked University Traffic Ser- vices to put signs up distinguishing parking for Sweetheart's from other decal required parking spaces. According to Behr, the restaurant's re- quest has been denied. Graduate student Johanna Kline, who received her B.A. in psy- chology from ECU, encour- ages other stu- dents to enjoy Sweetheart's. "It's a totally separate restaurant from the cafeteria Kline said. "It's nice to have good food options on campus LoisMarie Familar, a Junior living in Greene residence hall hopes that the restaurant will stay open.

The lecture was given by Dr. Jef- frey Engel, Dr. Harry Adams, Dr. Bruce Hathaway and Dr. Richard Rumley.

As of Dec. 29, 1995, there were 6,127 cases of HIVAIDS reported in North Carolina, Warner said. She said there were 191 cases reported in Pitt County, 87 in Wilson County, and nine reported in Greene County. As of April 1995, Pitt County had the third largest rate of HIVAIDS in North Carolina, Warner said. Warner said that the number of 15 to 20 year olds diagnosed with the disease has increased in white males by 63 percent, in white females by 500 percent in African American males by 385 percent and in African American females by 1,050 percent. She said that women are becoming infected at twice the rate of men. "We encourage anybody who wants to test to call and have a test done Warner said.

Mfti� Mm Downtown GreenvilleJ� 757-1666 M V � Thursday, February 22,1996 The East Carolinian 4 Our View Just like Rodney Dangerfield, women's athletics at ECU get no respect. They don't get much support either. If you have attended a women's basketball game this sea- son, no doubt you had plenty of places to sit. Then again, you didn't see a reverse dunk over three defenders, did you? There are no seven foot centers and cross-court alley-oops, either. That's one reason women's athletics don't receive any support - be- cause it's perceived as not being as exciting as a men's game. This lack of interest and attendance leads to poor gate re- ceipts, and when a sport doesn't make any money, it doesn't receive much money from the athletic administration. No support from the administration leads to poor recruit- ing. No one wants to go to a school that has worn the same uniforms for the past 12 years and no one attends the games. Being in a top basketball conference remedies recruiting problems real fast. UNC-Chapel Hill has a huge women's basket- ball following. And when you talk women's basketball, you have to talk about such women's powerhouses as Tennessee and the SEC (Southeastern Conference). They have a packed house every game. What this all boils down to is winning. People go see teams that win. Top basketball conferences are made of teams that win. Recruits go to a school where they think they can win. It is for that reason we need to give ourselves a little more time. ECU has taken the first stride in becoming a winning program by bringing in Hall of Famer Anne Donovan to coach the Lady Pirates. The support is also on the rise, partly due to Donovan. Like N.C. State's Kay Yow (who graduated from ECU), people come to see Donovan as well as the Lady Pirates. It's not every day you get to see one of the handful of women in the basketball Hall of Fame. Our campus radio station WZMB does its part by covering all of the Lady Pirate home games, and we at TEC provide game coverage and all of the latest happenings in ECU women's basketball. But that doesn't seem to spark enough interest to fill the seats in Minges Coliseum. There are other women's sports as well, such as women's soccer (who will compete for only the third year this fall), vol- leyball and softball who also need our support. With fan support the school makes money. With money, the teams get the latest in equipment and facilities. With that, they get better recruits. With top recruits, you can build a win- ning program. And with a winning program everyone wins. OFfi !��� - t &T& The East Carolinian Why don't women's athletics get the respect they deserve and who's to blame? Procrastination stops efficiency I've been meaning to write this article for a while now In fact, I guess you could say I have been putting it off. This is about procrastination. I'm actually thinking about finishing this later. OK. I'm ready to go now. How often do you have the intention to start or complete a task and then something better comes along? For me, it is a regular occurrence. I love to procrastinate, it's a way of life. As an English major, I have to write an extremely large amount of papers. Yet I always seem to wait until the last minute. Why is that? What causes me to want to wait until there is no more time left and stress myself until it's complete? You could say it's laziness. You could even say it's irresponsibility. The plain truth is though, there is always something better to do than what I really am supposed to be doing. Watching Highlander to me is more fun than writing a long research pa- per. Watching "People's Court" is even more interesting than reading a book about early Spartan societies and how they coexisted with nature. By being brought up in a society that has so many leisure activities, I have become accustomed to having options and alternatives right at my fingertips. If I don't want to read a book or write a paper, I can play Sega or go out and have a beer. As many Brian Lewis Burns Opinion Columnist Why let a dismal paper ruin your weekend when you can procrastinate until Monday? students know, the most common al- ternative to studying on a weekend is to go out and drink and have a good time. There is nothing wrong with that. Using the weekend as a chance to re- lax and catch up on that sleep you lost during the week is alright Unfor- tunately, if there is a lot of work that was not done during the week, the weekend is the time to do this. I know, no one ever wants to do this and so they put it off until later. Hence forth, procrastination is created! Why sit down and read a book and learn something when you can procrastinate and go out and have fun? Why let a dismal paper ruin your weekend when you can procrastinate until Monday? These are the moral dilemmas that I have to deal with ev- ery time something better comes along instead of school work. Yet procrastination is not found solely in college students. Procrasti- nation is a trait that can be found in every person alive, perhaps even in some that are dead. Do you see any dead person hard at work completing tasks that they should of done before? I don't think so! Procrastination whether big or small, is found everywhere. When you go to the mall and you want to go look at some stores, yet you are hun- gry. Do you put off eating until after you shop, or do you put off shopping until after you have eaten? I am ready to move to Procrastinationville. A place where everyone is so lazy that the town was never even built. That's the place for me. I could go there, relax and have a good time and put off all work until later or, I could wait until later and then move to Procrastinationville. I think that without procrastina- tion, this world would be more effi- cient and better run. Of course I would not want to live in a world where 1 actually do everything I am supposed to do, when I'm supposed to do it Well, I think that this pretty much sums up procrastination, I have more I would like to say about this subject but I think I will write it later.

Man triumphs machine Garry Kasparov, a 32-year-old Russian and world chess champion, has done what he said he would do - beat IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer in classical chess. Kasparov won in the sixth game by trapping the bishop and rook with his pawn. He took home $400,000. The event had been billed as the ultimate contest. Man vs. Machine by the sponsors, ACM, a New-York based computer society, along with the print and TV media. The match which took place ih Philadelphia at the Pennsyl- vania Convention Center, was watched by literally millions on the World Wide Web, at IBM's live site. An estimated 10 million people or five million on Saturday and five million on Sunday, Feb. 10th and 11th, accessed the site. The chess-playing supercomputer had been designed by IBM scientists to beat chess champions. But what it turned out to be was a failed experi- ment What puzzles me though, is why would scientists want a machine to beat a man? What purpose would it serve if it had beaten Kasparov? Should we then surrender our lives to the computer because it can beat us? What people seem to forget is Neill Daiberg Opinion Columnist What people seem to forget is that compater technology is only a tool. that computer technology is only a tool. It is a tool useful in acquiring and storing data, nt a ruler or po- tential ruler of our lives. Imagine a man who has just purchased that convertible he's been wanting to get for years. After he buys it, he shows it to his wife who says, "Honey, do you own the car, or does the car own you?" Suddenly, he doesn't know how to respond. He wants to say "he" owns the car but he realizes he's been spending a lot of time with his car and not his wife. The proper answer would be the car owns him. We must not let the com- puter own us. Is it the scientist's goal to de- sign a computer that owns us you ask? I don't know exactly, but it is our right to seriously question their purpose, especially in a Democratic nation such as this. We must break the cycle. We are using computer technology too much as a crutch, we are becoming more and more a lazy society that doesn't want to leave our homes for work or play. Take successful business corpo- rations in a working situation; they would rather fly to the customer to make deals personally and close the session with a handshake and a smile. Shouldn't it be the same in the not so successful workplace, where the workers are together? This, specifi- cally, is one area where computer technology has become more than a tool, here it has become the great divider. Finally, we have become a nation of individuals. "Rugged Individual- ism you say. But where to next? All or most of the land has been used up. We need to look inward and unite as the United States, not the Indi- vidual States. Letters to the Editor Customer speaks out To the Editor, I purchased two tires, for the front of my vehicle, from Wal-Mart store 1379 in Greenville, NC yester- day. I requested tires sized P22575 15 but tires sized P2157515 were installed. A P2257515 tire is "taller" than a P2157515 tire. I wanted the same size tires all the way around my vehicle. Wal-Mart store 1379, after being told what I wanted, sold me something I did not request. I approached the tire center cus- tomer service desk after discovering a mistake had been made in hopes of rectifying the problem. 1 was subject to a gauntlet of incompetence with statements such as, "You'll have to talk to someone else, I don't handle that kind of thing Feeling quite dis- couraged, I left and attempted to solve the issue via telephone. I was then told "Well, we charged you the right price for the smaller tires Not the point! I was sold the wrong item. I did not request the smaller tires, nor do 1 want the smaller tires. My work schedule dictates I get one Saturday per month off and Wal-Mart store 1379 employees want me to waste my precious free time dealing with their rude incompetence. Wal-Mart advertisements boast customer satisfaction as one of their prime objectives. I strongly disagree. Customer satisfaction is only impor- tant to Wal-Mart until they get your money. Service after the sale is a non- existent item in Wal-Mart's vocabulary. Dissatisfied customer is not. Sincerely, Jason T. Whichard Words can change life � John Locke To the Editor, Three years ago. I enrolled with Literacy Volunteers of America - Pitt County. I could read very little. To- day, my goal is to read the newspa- per from front to back. My tutor Sylvia English and I hope to accom- plish this goal by the end of 1996. My goal is to encourage the me- dia and the public to advertise and talk about literacy. We need to let people like me know there is help available and its OK to ask for it. Ev- ery county in our country should have its own volunteer literacy pro- gram. I am 55 years old. It feels really good to be able to pick up my medi- cine bottle and read the instructions for myself. Three years ago I could not do that. One in four adults in Pitt County, where I live, cannot read as well as they should. They cannot fill out job applications or help their children with school work. In the United States, more than 48 percent of the adult population has reading deficiencies. The reason 1 speak out about my illiteracy is to try to get others to get the help they need. I lived in the darkness of illiteracy. No one should have to live there. I am asking you to help me. Let's make our hometowns and our coun- try a place where all residents can enjoy the progress and independence that reading can bring. Sincerely. Richard Riggan � � THE PEOPLE YO H� � �BMMBHH kitty f� vo Thursday, February 22, 1996 The East Carolinian 5 If&SCfl �" Thursday, February 22, 1996 The East Carolinian urWe "Sawyer" brings mischief to Wright Jennifer Cofeman Senior Writer Ah, to be young and carefree again. Those were the days. Nothing to do but go fishin' and catch frogs and do a few chores around the house and maybe go to schooi, if you had to. The lazy days - that was Tom Sawyer's life. And what adventures! Finding pirate's treasure, being held hostage by a real Injun, and rafting on the Mississippi. Was there nothing that this boy couldn't do? It appears as though there's one thing he hasn't done, but it won't be that way for long. Tom Sawyer has never been to ECU. But that's about to change. On Saturday, Feb. 24, the ECU Family Fare Series will present Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" as performed by the American Family Theater (AFT). The AFT has been performing for 23 years in over 500 cities. Their shows have been seen by aver 3 mil- lion children and families. "Tom Sawyer" is the story of a rambunctious young boy who lived in Mississippi in the late 19th century. In fact, rambunctious might be too mild a term to use in describing Tom. He's a con man, swindler, trouble- maker and clown all rolled up in one cherubic face. His best friend is Huck Finn, who is also the subject of one of Twain's novels. Together the two are like a miniature tornado, but they can leave a trail of destruction that is nowhere near miniature. You might be inclined to think that Tom and Huck can't get into any more trouble than all boys do, but think again. In the course of the novel, Tom proves himself to be the greatest swindler of all time by conning all of his friends into whitewashing his Aunt Polly's fence - a chore that Tom was supposed to do. It's not as if his friends couldn't do their own white- washing, either. He simply convinced them that he was having more fun than he'd ever had before, and so of course they wanted to join in. But oh no, it was too much fun! So darn if they didn't pay him to let them do it How's that for a con artist? Another of Tom's schemes is to form a club. Sounds innocent doesn't it? He probably formed a 4-H club maybe, or a Boy Scout troop. Not Tom. To get into this club, you have to com- mit murder. But hey, it's all in good fun, right? I don't mean to make it sound like Tom is a rotten apple. He's actu- ally a pretty good kid. The whitewash- ing thing - well, hey, I've been guilty of trying to convince my friends that 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary, so I can't really say anything. And the murder thing - well, no one ever ac- tually does it Underneath it all, Tom Sawyer has a good heart This story is a timeless classic. It has been made into movies, cartoons, short stories and plays, and has been enjoyed by millions of children and adults in each of its forms. Don't miss this performance, sure to be as popu- lar as last year's "Aladdin" (also per- formed by the AFT). Tickets are on sale now in the Central Ticket Office. Showtime is 2 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $8 for the public, $6 for ECU FacultyStaff and $5 for ECU students and youth. Group rates are available.

Comics lose their underwear Mark Brett Ufestyle Editor So you heard that comic books aren't just for kids any- more, and you went to look for some grown-up comics. But all you saw was superheroes, the same kind of stuff you outgrew or didn't read when you were a kid. It is true that the comic book maiket is still ruled by guys who run around in underwear. They're fun if you're into that kind of thing, but they turn many mainstream readers off. Luckily, there are alternatives, if you know where to look. To help you in this quest our diligent "Notes from the Underground" staff has compiled the following list of alterna- tive comics for your reading pleasure Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore. Comics that ap- peal to women are few and far between, but this is one of the best Strangers is the story of Katchoo (an artist with a myste- rious past who may or may not be a lesbian) and Francine (Katchoo's ultra-neurotic roomate and best friend). It's about relationships and the bad choices people sometimes make. While Moore's characterizations are sometimes too broad for their own good, the series is full of genuine human moments, and the artwork is lushly beautiful. Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie. Lost Girls is well, technically, it's okay, it's pornography. But if s not the sweaty, groping, obvious kind of stuff we think of as pom. The story of three women of various ages who meet at a hotel in the early 20th century, Lost Girls explores female sexuality and sexual morality in a world on the brink of sudden, sweep- ing change. While the sex is graphic, there's not a sleazy mo- ment anywhere. From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell. From Hell is a historical drama about Jack the Ripper. Part crime story, part horror, part psychological thriller, part magic real- ism, this is possibly the best comic on the market right now. In much the same way that Lost Girls looks at sex, From Hell looks at violence and its affect on history. By the same author A Small Killing, Watchmen. Sin City by Frank Miller. This book brings back crime comics with a vengeance. Imagine hard men walking lonely through rainy nights. Imagine smoky dames with barroom eyes slugging back shots of hard liquor. Imagine Mickey Spillane filtered through Clint Eastwood's Jagged Edge, and you might begin to get the idea. If you like your fiction hard- boiled, baby, it don't get any harder than this. See COMICS page 8 S WWfote More sleaze needed in "Savannah � Kevin Chaisson Senior Writer Okay, I'll admit it When I first heard that Aaron Spell- ing, creator of such winners as "The Love Boat" "Charlie's Angels and "Dynasty had another show develop- ing for the WB (Warner Bros.) network, I was kinda happy. I mean, Spelling is the daddy of bo "Melrose Place" and "90210 two shows that are the rock variety of brain candy. And 1 love me some brain candy. Well then, I thought, Spelling's new show "Savannah" can't be any differ- ent' It's probably about the trials and tribulations of a porn star or stripper named Savannah! Like "Showgirls" for the small screen. At least it won't star Tori, so that's a plus in its favor. Well, I was wrong. "Savannah" is not about strippers or pom queens, unfortunately. What it is, in fact is a prime time soap in the grandest tradition. Why, the title itself harkens back to the Ewing family of CBS' "Dallas That is where the simi- larities end. Where "Dallas" was enter- taining, over-the-top-at-times fluff, "Sa- vannah" is well, just dull. Admittedly, I did miss the big two- hour premiere episode, so that could have set up some interesting plot machi- nations. But shouldn't these plotty tid- bits be evident in the episodes we're watching now? So far, here's what I've gathered. The show follows three female friends. Reese (Shannon Sturges) the Nice Dishrag, Lane (Robin Lively) the Smart One, and Peyton (Jamie Luner) the Slut Well, at least their names sound like soap character names. Lane and Peyton are rich. Reese is not but dresses like she is. Somebody has killed Peyton's boyfriend, and she and her friends are all suspects.

One has opened at the Buccaneer theater called Leaving Las Vegas and this humble critic beseeches every citizen who appreciates art to see it The only way to encourage Carmike Cinemas to show first-rate artistic endeavors in Greenville is for patrons to support the rare artistic film that opens here. As the final credits rolled on Leaving Las Vegas, I sat stunned and bewildered in my seat Only after the lights came up did I realise that for two hours I had not moved. The im- ages on the screen before me had been so engrossing, and so disconcerting, that for two hours I focused entirely on the film. The subtitle of Leaving Las Ve- gas is "a love story The uncondi- tional love in this film will make many an audience member reconsider their own meager attempts at unconditional love. The relationship between an al- coholic named Ben Sanderson (Nicho- las Cage) and a prostitute named Sera (Elizabeth Shue) arises because of a deep, urgent need on the part of each to find companionship. Ben and Sera must accept the lifestyle chosen by the other in order to forge a meaningful bond To say that Leaving Las Vegas is like no other film 1 have ever seen would be unfair to the film because it defies comparison. Leaving Las Ve- gas blazes new territory in cinematic storytelling. The lurid details of the film - the drinking, the sex, the vio- lence - place it on the border of por- nography. But the only way to tell a tale of this intensity is to include the sordid scenes. The emotional inten- sity of the storytelling breaks free of Hollywood romantic cliches. Leaving Las Vegas defies all standard, conven- tional rules of storytelling and by do- ing so rises onto a new plane of moviemaking. Ben Sanderson bums his clothes, throws out all his belongings, cashes in all his money and heads to Las Vegas to "drink himself to death Ben's predicament begins long before the film does and the reasons for his drinking are never articulated. Ben See VEGAS page 9 CD Reviews Schleigho Schleigho Derek T. Hall Staff Writer Jazz Funk, I believe that's what they call it Or should I say, "Music for the Minded which is how Schleigho puts it It's kind of a big tide to slap on yourself. However, I must say that after lis- tening to their self-titled debut this powered quartet from Massachusetts is exactly what they claim to be. The band members compliment each other very well. Each are good mu- sicians in their own right When each musician does his or her own thing to contribute to the vibe presented, you can expect a sound that is not fixated around one instrument or individual. You can also expect a band that is fo- cused on playing for one reason: the love of it 0 Their sound changes often. From moody waves that Primus might have sailed over to the funk of Phish to Chi- cago-style blues, this band is all over the place. It seems as if they're not afraid to try anything. To do that a band must have consistency, and that is exactly what drummer Erik Egol gives Schleigho. His jazzy high hat enables them to play off riffs that many bands have only wanted to do. As far as the band's direction goes, I would have to say that the vocals are not the focal point The singing stood second in line to the outstanding rhythm section laid down by guitarist Suke Cerulo, and bassistvocalist Drew McCabe. That sound gives them groove like no other, and shares it with everyone else that they collaborate with. Groove, in essence, is the most essential con- cept for this band, as it should be for everyone else. I must say that another important factor that made mis CD what it is would be Jesse Gibbon's unbelievable talent for vocals and keyboards. Just by the way he played on this album, one can easity tell that he has come close to master- ing the art of jazz, a feat that not many accomplish. Combining all of the sources to- gether that made this album possible, (blues, jazz, funk, etc.), you get Schleigho. A band whose name has no meaning, but whose music does. If you're looking for an album with standard songs that may be written in standard form, don't buy this album. It's not even in the same universe. If you're looking for an album that breaks rules and regulations and gives off a vibe that even the wildest cat can mellow out to, buy this one. Schleigho. Music for the minded.

Reese cries and seems put upon a lot (she was out of work the first epi- sode 1 caught); she seems to lite some business-type guy who is a penis, ftyton is investigating her lover's murder by sleeping with everybody to get informa- tion (except women, who she just threat- ens). Ray Wise (who played Laura Palmer's dad on the much-underrated "Twin Peaks") plays Edward Burton, an unscruplious tycoon that seems to have something to do with the murder and some stripper named Bunny. I think Burton is Peyton's stepdad, and he somehow got her mother sent to prison. Does any of this make any sense? The important thing here is that it shouldn't matter! What these prime- time soaps have to do is be entertain- ing without being dense. Unlike daytime soaps, "Savannah" is only on one night a week, so its storylines have to be well over the top to engage a viewer and make them want to come back. Believe it or not, "Melrose Place" has done this very well, giving us characters that range from the absurd and whirry to a Lady Macbeth wannabe. "Savannah" drags like a Georgia summer, with no mint julips to keep you company. What this show needs to do is play with its characters a little more; make them more interesting. All three ac- tresses are gorgeous, but only Luner seems to have a hold on the character she'd like to play. Maybe her time on the show "Just The Ten of Us" has made her hungry for a real role. I read somewhere that Sturges left a daytime soap to do "Savannah I think she was really canned for being uninteresting. Last, but not least Robin Lively is the most disappointing of the three to me. I remember (and loved) Lively on "Doogie Houser, MD" and "Chicago Hope where she played nice-girl nurses with bizarre eccentricities. This show makes her really boring. Why can't she play the Smart One that has a near-fatal car crash and comes out of it wanting to be some sort of super- villain? 1 don't know. I'm grasping here. Something should be done. Maybe they could get Ray Wise to kill one of the girls, walk around bug-eyed and crying, screaming, Bob saw tl !em t'nsaw tl" into the mirror. That would make this interesting! As a last straw, what really amazes me it that there is a parental discre- tion warning at the beginning of each episode. Why? There is nothing going on here that you couldn't catch done better on the Family Channel. Maybe that's what "Savannah" needs, some "NYPD Blue" level controversy. And I'll bet any of the actors on "Savan- nah" have a better butt than Dennis Franz. On a scale of one to 10, "Savan- nah" rates a five. I'm gonna fetch me another julip.

Just as in life itself, happy endings do not always happen. Director Mike Figgis has had a difficult time in Hollywood, making the subpar Internal Affairs and the disappointing Mr. Jones. Nothing in his past presaged the masterpiece he would direct here. Figgis needed to get away from Hollywood for a time and then make a film completely on his own without studio pressures. Adapting John O'Brien's storv (sadly O'Brien, an alcoholic himself, died shortly before the release of Leaving Las Vegas), Figgis opted for cinematic realism at its purest level. 1 urge you to see Leaving Las Vegas. It is easily the best film that has opened in Greenville in the last 12 months and has garnered Oscar nominations for Cage, Shue and Figgis. Leaving Las Vegas is quite simply a magnificent work of art that will remain with the viewer long after the theater lights have come on. On a scale of one to 10, Leaving Las Vegas rates a 10. $upr-OT�cur� This week's topic: Hogan's Heroes 1. Colonel Klink was por- trayed by Werner Kemplerer 2.

The ECU men's and women's swim teams headed to Richmond this week to compete in the CAA conference championship swim meets. The women will try to defend their '95 CAA title. Photos Courtesy of ECU SID Men's basketball wins easily against Wofford Amanda Ross Sport Editor The Wofford Terriers had planned to come into Minges and pull off a victory, but the Pirates sent them home with their tails be- tween their legs. ECU jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead when Von Bryant hit a shot from underneath. Another Bryant lay up pushed the score to 4-0. But Wofford was stubborn in the first half and just wouldn't go away. With 10:18 left in the first half, Wofford cut ECU'S lead to one point, 12-11, but a Damon Van Weerdhuizen three pointer put ECU back up by three 15-11. The Pirates' biggest leads were 11 points and three different times in the first half, ECU reached that margin. The first time was from a Chuck Jones free throw and the last two times were both from Vic Hamilton. With 2:44 remaining Hamilton hit a 15' jumper and then again with 1:28 left he hit an 18' jumper. Hamilton's jump shot continues to improve with every game. "I continue to come in an hour early before practice and work on my jump shot Hamilton said. "I know that I have to step my game up At the half, ECU was ahead by nine points, 30-21. Tim Basham, Deron Rippey and Hamilton led ECU with six points each. The players knew just because this was a non conference game with a team that was 3-19, they couldn't take them for granted. "You can't look past any team Basham said. "Wofford is a great team with excellent shooters and they came out ready to play tonight" Head Coach Joe Dooley kept encourag- ing his team to play hard even throughout the game. "It wasn't pretty but we played well and we just out hustled them Dooley said. "All I kept telling the team is that we have to play hard. We did just what we needed to do The Pirates shot 43 percent for the - first half compared to Wofford's 20 percent From the three point range ECU shot 37 percent while the Ter- riers shot 12 percent However, Wofford did out shoot the Pirates from the line 88 percent to to back victories Amanda Ross Sport Editor Photo by PATRICK IRELAN Senior forward Vic Hamilton shows his power inside last Monday night. Hamilton had 21 points and seven rebounds. ECU's 63 percent The second half started off slowly for Wofford. ECU's Jonathan Kerner scored first for ECU in the second half with a shot under- neath. ECU again had their lead back to double digits 32-21. The closest Wofford came was with 15:03 remaining in the second half when the Terriers pulled within six points. The next two possessions were big for the Pirates. Basham hit a three pointer and on their next trip down Hamilton slammed one in to give the Pi- rates an 11 point lead with 12:51 remaining. The Terriers couldn't recover after that, and ECU went on to build up a 20 point lead when Kerner nailed two free throws. Af- ter that lead, the closest Wofford came was 14 points. Two slam dunks from Jones and Kerner towards the end of the game put the exclamation point on the game. Dooley was pleased with Jones' performance; he came off the bench and scored five points grabbed seven rebounds and played quality minutes for the Pirates. "Chuck Jones stepped up and did a very nice job tonight Dooley said. ECU won the game by 19 points, 79-60. Wofford's Head Coach Richard Johnson said this is the same sce- nario his team has faced all season. "You could go to any of our old post game tapes and run those Johnson said. "It's the same old story. We played a pretty good first half. We had some stupid turnovers and no pressure. We limited their second half opportunities, but when you are shooting 20 percent you are not going to beat anybody Hamilton again came off the bench and had a big night for ECU as he poured in 21 points and See BALL page 12 Being consistent is the key to wins and a win is exactly what the women's basketball team got from Campbell. The Lady Pirates hosted the Lady Camels Tuesday night, and ECU never gave up their double digit lead which they gained half- way through the first half. Campbell won the tip off and jumped out to a 0-2 lead. ECU's first score came from Justine Allpress who nailed a shot from the three point arc. Campbell answered with a shot of their own and ECU's head coach quickly called a 20 sec- ond time out After that time out, the Lady Pirates went on an 8-0 run and made the score 11-6. ECU kept building on that lead and eventu- ally, they built themselves a 21 point lead after a LaTesha Sutton jumper. That same mm���� momentum was with them throughout the rest of the game. ECU sported a 16 point lead at half time, 37-21. Two Lady Pi- rates were in double digits. Allpress had 11 points while Danielle Charlesworth added 10 of her own. Other lead- mmmmmmmm ing scorers were Tracey Kelley with six and Sutton and Shay Hayes each contributing four each Leading scorers Photos Courtesy of ECU SID ECU shot 55 percent from the field and from three point range. Allpress and Charlesworth com- bined to hit five of nine three point shots. Campbell only hit 33 percent of their shots in the first half. The Lady Camels never got their of- fense in sync and were never a real threat to the Lady Pi- rates. ECU con- tinued to ex- pand their lead in the second half. The Lady Pirates never let the lead get below 12 points. Tomekia "Fruiky" Blackmon scored the first bucket for ECU when she hit a shot from three feet. Two Lady Pirates were in double digits. Allpress had 11 points while Danielle Charlesworth added 10 of her own. From that point on a steady stream of ECU shots found themselves at the bottom of the net. With 16:47 left in the game, Charlesworth drilled another three pointer. The closest Campbell came was with 9:23 remaining, when the Lady Camels cut the lead to 12. That was due in part to the full court press Campbell put on the Lady Pirates. According to Charlesworth, the team worked on breaking the press in anticipation of the Lady Camels press. "We concentrated on it a lot" Charlesworth said. "I think we took care of it for the most part and we had a couple let downs, but I think we were well prepared for it" However, ECU didn't give in and they mounted their own come- back and with 1:47 remaining, the Lady Pirates had a 24 point lead. The game ended with a 19 point lead in favor of the Pirates, See WINS page 12 Recruits sign on for soccer season i- iJ 5t- - � � ill ��- f i m MEKfiHBfi t SID-The ECU men's tennis team dropped it's third match in as many days as the Pirates fell to the 49ers of UNC Charlotte by a 4-3 score. The Pirates (0-3) won the doubles point as Wes KintnerNils Alomar defeated the UNC Charlotte tan- dem of Todd Stephenson-Kalid Al-Foudari 84 and the No. 3 doubles team of Derek Slate-Kris Hutton were victorious by an 8-2 score. The Pirates were unable to win the necessary three single matches to wrap up the win. Sopho- more Nils Alomar was victorious at No. 3 singles, defeating Al-Foudari in three sets, 5-7,64,64. Fresh- man Derek Slate provided the Pirates' only other win at No. 6 singles, by notching a win over Mark Hoppensteadt 7-6, 4-6, 7-6. ECU will be in action again on March 2, when they travel to Florence, S.C to take on Francis Marion University at 10:00 a.m. Craig Perrott Assistant Sports Editor The 1996 ECU women's soccer team has added 11 new members. Head Coach Neil Roberts an- nounced that he has received na- tional letters-of-intent from one jun- ior college All-American and several Olympic Development pool players from the Raleigh area. This fall will be only the third season that the Lady Pirates have competed on the soccer field, and Coach Roberts has brought in some talent that will hopefully get the fledgling program on the winning track. "We are very excited about this year's class of in- coming recruits Roberts said. "We are looking forward for next season, because all of the girls come from competitive backgrounds and have great experience Roberts' main concern was to increase the player pool at ECU by bringing in some players that will help out down the road and some players that will make an immedi- ate impact. "We needed a large recruiting class with some players we can work ers that will contribute immedi- ately Roberts said. The only junior college player among the official signees is midfielder Sheila Best (Cary, N.C.). Best was a 1995 JUCO first-team All- American for the Brevard College Lady Tornadoes.
