TUE&? February 27,1996 Vol 71, No. 42 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 10 pages Briefs Around the State LONGWOOD, N.C. (AP) - Take away the video screen and music and it might be just another Satur- day night in a Christian camp- ground tradition - except the woman leading the song has no clothes on, her husband wears only a T-shirt and all the others are simi- larly undressed. This was the scene of the first Christian Nudist Conference, where naked Christian karaoke is but one sign of a coming-out party for this tiny but growing movement of reli- gious naturists. Some 40 Christian nudists from around the country stood na- ked and unashamed before their God at the conference. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - The weekend killing and mutilation of a sheep probably was not related to its use as a sports mascot at the University of North Carolina at Chape! Hill, the animal's owner said. After serving only one year as the UNC-CH mascot Rameses the ram was found dead Sunday morn- ing. The animal's throat had been cut it had been gutted and its left front quarter had been cut off, ac- cording to sheriff's officials. Around the Country NEW YORK (AP) - On Mon- day, a jury rejected a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit filed against Bellevue Hospital by the husband of a pregnant doctor who was raped and killed by a former mental pa- tient The 10-2 verdict awarded noth- ing to Eric Johnson, the widower who had accused the hospital of negligence in the January 1989 death of his wife, Dr. Kathryn Hinnant Hinnant 33, was beaten, raped, sodomized and strangled in her of- fice Jan. 7, 1989, by Steven Smith, a mentally ill, homeless man who had been secretly living in a hospi- tal storage room. Hinnant was five months preg- nant with her first child. Smith, 31, was convicted and is serving 50 years to life in prison for the murder. MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - A 5- year-old boy jumping on a bed bounced out a third-story apart- ment window and landed in some landscaping, where he was shaken up but not seriously hurt The boy, whose name was with- held by authorities, was with a baby sitter Sunday afternoon. Bittinger said the boy bounced right through the screen of an open window and fell about 25 feet. A trail of bark dust up the stair- way indicated he walked back to the apartment after the fall, Bittinger said.

Student health ponders HIV testing Lack of space, time and money limit services David Durham Staff Writer The number of 15 to 20-year-olds diagnosed with AIDS has increased dra- matically over the past few years. The American College Health Association said college campuses should offer HIV testing and counseling to students. However, these services are not pres- ently provided to students at ECU. "There's obviously a need said Heather Zophy, health educator at Stu- dent Health Services. Zophy said Student Health Ser- vices lacks the staff, space and funds needed to provide for the legally man- dated pre and post test counseling that have to accompany HIV testing. Zophy said plans are currently be- ing drawn up for an addition to the Student Health Services building, but she doesn't know when the addition will actually be built "They say a couple of years, but it could be a lot longer Zophy said. Zophy said Student Health Ser- vices is looking into the possibility of cooperating with the Pitt County Health Department to provide HIV test- ing on campus. She said mat in this case, the health department would come on campus to do the testing themselves. "They would handle all of the le- galities of it" Zophy said. This would provide easy access to testing by stu- dents, but would take the burden of legal technicalities off Student Health Services, Zophy said. "That's hope for the future Zophy said. Some other campuses within the UNC-system offer HIV testing, but in various ways. Student Health Services at UNC at Chapel Hill has offered HIV testing since 1989, said Christian Godwin, HIV coordinator and counselor. She said that a chancellor's aid task force Dribbling along the way Zack Stone, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and Chancellor Richard Eakin chatted and dribbled basketballs Friday as the fraternity set off on its annual "Walk to Wilmington- event.

Photo By MICHELE AMICK Professor joins Welsh Academy Latest publication, book on essays, due this April Stephanie Ann Eaton Staff Writer Pride filled the heart of an ECU professor when he was given an invi- tation to become a full member of a national society of writers. C.W. Sullivan III, a member of the English department, accepted an invitation to become a full member of the Welsh Academy. "I was delighted said Sullivan when he found out that he had been invited into the academy. The Welsh Academy is the En- glish language section of Yr Academia Gymreig, a national soci- ety of writers of Wales. Membership is offered to individuals who have made a contribution to literature in Wales. The academy was founded in 1968.There are fewer than 200 mem- bers. "The Welsh Academy is a group of scholars and authors who are in- volved with Wales literature Sullivan said. The academy organizes the an- nual Cardiff Literature Festival, lit- erary competitions and awards, lit- erary exhibitions throughout Wales and an annual conference. Sullivan has been a professor at ECU since 1977. He is a professor of English with a concentration in Folk- lore Mythology.

Sullivan is having his book titled The Mabinogi: A Book of Essays published in April. Other forthcom- ing publications Welsh Celtic Myth in Modern Fantasy and articles in "Tran-actions of the Honourable So- ciety of Cymmrodorian, Planet The Welsh Internationalist" and "Dragon's Tale: Journal of the Welsh National Centre for Children's Lit- erature Sullivan has published a vast amount of articles on folklore, my- thology and fantasy that draw to some extent on traditional Welsh material. Sullivan has made several re- search trips to the National Library of Wales, the Hugh Owen Library of the University of Wales and the Cen- tre for Advanced Welsh and Celtics Studies. These places are highly re- spected for their Celtic Studies col- lection. Sullivan does not believe that this great honor will change his role at ECU. " I don't think my honor will change my work at ECU Sullivan said. "This honor has given me recog- nition on the work that I have done and the work I will do in the future worked to get the program started on campus "The task force worked with the state to allow us to process the blood with the state Godwin said. "It's defi- nitely something that's a needed ser- vice She said that students feel more comfortable being tested on campus. Godwin also said there has been no controversy over the issue of whether to offer testing or not "It's completely supported Godwin said. HIV testing is also offered on cam- pus at N.C. State, but not by its Stu- dent Health Services. Testing is pro- vided on campus each Wednesday by the Wake County Health Department, said Jennifer Philip, health promotion educator of Student Health Services at State. She said that the testing is free and anonymous, and that the test- ing has been offered since October of 1995. "It's been very well accepted Philip said. "Every Wednesday it's full. I'm proud of the students. They've re- sponded very well to it" HIV testing is also provided for students at UNC-G at Greensboro. It has been offered for approximately three years, said Megan Evans, admin- istrator of Student Health at UNC-G. Evans said that the decision to begin the program was made by the See AIDS page 3 Speaker addresses book, Beloved Discussion held in General Classroom Marguerite Benjamin Assistant News Editor Black History Month and the cel- ebration of the contributions of out- standing African-Americans continues as the Ethnic Studies Program, the Women's Studies Program and the Ledonia Wright African-American Cultural Center join forces to spon- sor renowned speaker, Mae Henderson. On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Henderson will be giving a lecture in the General Classroom Building, room 1032 at 4 p.m. The lecture, entitled "History Narrative and Identity in Toni Morrison's Beloved is based on the novel set in 1873 that explores women's experiences in slavery and freedom after the civil war. Taffye Benson-Clayton, director of the Ledonia Wright Cultural Cen- ter, said she is pleased to take part in making the event possible. "We're doing this as a conjunc- tive effort because we want to be sup- portive of any opportunity to bring African-American and minority speak- ers to our campus Clayton said, add- ing that the list of Henderson's nu- merous achievements includes train- ing at Yale university and extensive travel. "Henderson has done a great deal of work in the areas of women's studies and African-American history Clayton said. "She is also the speaker for Women's History Month which will be celebrated in March of this year. "We at the Center are proud to be involved.

New ID process makes logging-on easier Debra Byrne Staff Writer Any student or other member of the uni- versity community interested in gaining ac- cess to ECU's mainframe can now apply for a userlD more conveniently than in the past UserlD are mainly used for e-mail, said Ernest Marshburn, associate director of com- puting and information systems. They are like electronic phone numbers that go directly to the user. Some professors require students to get a userlD for their classes since they will then be able to log-on to different resources. However a majority of people get an ID for the e-mail component There are three different systems which you can get an ID for: ECUVM which is the most widely used, ECUVAX and ECUSUN. Application forms are still available in the Austin Building at the academic computing lab, as well as at the inputoutput window which is open 24 hours a day. However now students can apply for a userlD without leaving home - just turn on a com- puter. Marshburn said applications went on-line at the end of 1995, and the process is simple. First go to ECU's home page on Netscape. Then click on academic computing to apply for a userlD. After that type in basic informa- tion such as name, social security number and major. Finally, click on submit application. A response with general information and rules will appear on the screen. The userlD will be ready to pick up at the inputoutput window in Austin in three days.

Authorities say death of student's spouse was no hit-and-run UNC-Chape! Hill student William Boychuk has been charged with murder in the New Year's Eve death of his pregnant wife. Karen Boychuk's body was found beneafi a bridge after a late-night incident that her husband described to police as a hit-and-run. A prelimi- nary autopsy revealed that Karen died from blunt trauma to the head, a condition likely to be caused by being struck repeatedly. Boychuk is being held at the Wake County Jail while the district attorney awaits the results of Karen's autopsy. Bail will not be set until the autopsy is complete. U of Tennessee, Knoxville student attacked at liquor store According to the director of university relations at the UT Medical Center, Walter W. Duncan, 20, was injured in a robbery while working at the Vestal Package Store at 1057 Maryville Pike. Several men broke into the liquor store and attacked Duncan who was later listed in stable condition. After the attack, the men proceeded to steal money. The robbers did not use guns. East Texas State University teaches students to use guns ETSU is offering a concealed handgun license training course. It is a one-day class consisting of 8 hours in the classroom and 2 hours at the shooting range. Students are required to pass a 50-question written examination an a shooting proficiency test at the range. A person can qualify with either a revolver-type pistol or a semi-automatic handgun. The course has been offered since last year and discusses the use of force, dealing with law enforcement, non-violent dispute resolution, weapon storage and safety and basic range safety.

Royster Staff Writer Summer internships and part time jobs are available to students of all majors through the cooperative edu- cation department, located in suite 2300 of the General Classroom Build- ing. Christian Swain, graduate assis- tant and co-op co- ordinator said the cooperative edu- cation depart- ment offers infor- mation and re- sources on a vari- ety of summer positions. There are paid positions, internships which earn class credits, mmmmmmmmmmmm local positions and camp or resort jobs available. "We give students all the right information that they need to find and apply for internships and jobs Swain said. Swain said that students inter- ested in utilizing the department's re- sources should first attend an informa- tion seminar. Students are then asked to complete a coop application which describes the type of position desired. Next students can make an appoint- ment with a co-op coordinator. Coordinators specialize in helping students of specific majors. Students will be assigned to the appropriate coordinator when they make their ap- pointments. Coordinators assist stu- dents in applying and interviewing for positions. Swain said the department's avail- able positions are listed on a database on the ECUVM. The cooperative edu- cation department will assist students in obtaining an ID and in accessing the computer system. The information seminars will explain the abbreviations used in the data base. There is no charge to students to attend seminars, meet with coordina- tors or apply for positions. The department's only requirement is that students have at least a 2.0 GPA. Swain said that while some dead- lines have already passed, there are still plenty of opportunities for trie sum- mer. "There are over 100 camps with openings Swain said. Last year, the department placed students in posi- tions which earned them an average annual earning per stu- dent of, $2,692. Students also ob- tained a total of 1,647 semester hours of credit for work experience.

SRAs are tax- deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets �money that can help make the difference between living and living veil after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away- What's more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year. As the nation's largest retirement system, based on assets under management, we offer a wide range of allocation choices �from the TIAA Traditional Annuity, which guarantees principal and interest (backed by the company's claims-paying ability), to TIAA-CREF's diversified variable annuity accounts. And our expenses are very low which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health.

Linda McGowen has served as overseas opportunities coordinator for the university for the past two years. "Studying abroad gives students a broader perspective on the world McGowen said. "The experience helps them to more readily understand how the world works. "When they learn how to func- tion in other countries, they learn more about their own countries and, therefore, learn more about them- selves According to McGowen, the uni- versity now has connections with many more universities and countries than it has had in the past "There actually are a number of universities where ECU has direct exchange relationships McGowen said. "We have links to over 30 coun- tries, and our association with the International Exchange Program in- creases that number even further. "In the past, we have had stu- dents go to France, Costa Rica, Ger- many, Italy and many other countries. Right now, some students are apply- ing to go to Korea in the fall McGowen said students who go to Korea will either attend Yonsei University or Korea University, both of which are members of the Interna- tional Exchange Program. McGowen said the university also offers summer exchange programs as well as the usual semester and year- long exchange opportunities. Students receive credit for all of the courses they take while studying abroad, McGowen said, since students get university approval for all of the courses they take before they actu- ally go. McGowen said language barriers are not usually a problem when stu- dents study abroad, but students should be at least a little familiar with the language of the country they are visiting. "In some countries where En- glish is not the language, classes are offered in English McGowen said. "In other instances, it is important that students be quite proficient in the lan- guage of the country McGowen said students pay ECU tuition and fees when they go to study in other countries in the exchange program; however, there are other programs that require the students to pay and additional program fees. McGowen said ECU students who choose to study abroad live much like the students who are native to the country they are visiting. "Typically the (transfer) students' housing options are whatever the countries' normal students have McGowen said. "Sometimes those options include residence halls, shared apartments or even living with host families. No one arrangement is true for all situations ECU has an international stud- ies minor in which students do not have to study in other countries to receive the necessary credits, McGowen said. For this minor, only two courses are actually required, the rest of the courses come form vari- ous academic disciplines and are tai- lored to fit the interests of the stu- dents. Still, McGowen recommends studying abroad as a means of broad- ening one's horizon. "All a student has to do to get more information about the exchange program is come down and talk to me to learn more about their options McGowen said. Interested students should con- tact McGowen at the office of inter- national affairs at 328-1937. � V 'i' t t - ' � r r4ri it Through March 9 200 E.

E-mail is an easy way to commu- nicate all over the world, and best of all, there is no charge to use it In- stead of mailing a letter which can take a few days, e-mail can be sent to another address to someone with a userid in two to five seconds. Marshburn said if someone were to report that an account has been used in an unprofessional manner, appropriate action will be taken. Gen- erally the matter goes before the stu- dent judiciary council and the account may be taken away. Situations where people do not use their accounts re- sponsibly happen here at ECU once or twice a week. "We are not the e-mail police, we do not look for problems Marshburn said. "If something is brought to our attention it is necessary that we re- spond to it" Marshburn said Netscape has other useful purposes besides apply- ing for a userlD. It is a browser that allows students to view information on the World Wide Web (WWW). Netscape is like a phone itself while the WWW can be compared to actual phone lines across the world. You do not need a userid to browse the WWW. Internet searches can be done on almost any subject or area of interest Marshburn said using Netscape in the morning is much easier and faster than in the afternoon. Since Netscape is similar to a phone system, lines can be tied up causing a slower search.

She said it was talcing too long for students to receive the results of their tests when they would go to the county health department, so the program was started on campus. "Everyone thought it was in the best interest of the students Evans said. She said there was no controversy surrounding the decision to test on campus. Testing for HIV is also offered at UNC-A at Asheville. Testing there has just begun within the past year, said Linda Pyeritz, registered nurse at Stu- dent Health Services of UNC-A Pyeritz said the idea to offer test- ing was first brought up and approved by a committee appointed by the chan- cellor. ECU is not alone in its lack of HIV testing Student Health Services at UNC- W also lacks the funds and staff to of- fer the legally mandated pre and post test counseling, said Judy Bowers, di- rector of the Student Health and Wellness Center at UNC-W. Bowers said since UNC-W is a small school, she had concerns about the confidentiality of testing if it were offered on campus. She said testing is also readily available from the New Hanover County Health Department, which is a short distance from campus.

That's a ranking many of us would not like to see. The AIDS message has been pounded into our heads for more than 10 years now, and it's not going to go away whether the students of ECU choose to use preventative methods of protection or not How many students are infected with the disease you ask? We don't know because the infirmary makes no attempt to keep records of or report the number of possible cases at ECU. The infirmary keeps no records as to how many students could be infected - they don't even offer testing for this deadly virus. Sure, testing is available: anyone can go to the health department and be tested, but who's going to make the effort to find out if they are going to die? Wouldn't it just be easier to keep living without knowing what kind of harm you could bring to others? The infirmary mandates Chlamydia and Ghonorrhia test- ing for females Setting Pap Smears, so why isn't AIDS included in the testing procedure? Is it too expensive, or does the uni- versity just not want to know? According the Director of Stu- dent Health Services Kay VanNortwick, testing for AIDS takes a lot more than a simple blood sample. In order for such test- ing to be possible, she said that counseling before and after the test would have to be available, and that would take a lot of time, money and space that the infirmary doesn't have to offer. However, she also said she believes AIDS testing is a good idea and she hopes Student Health will move in that direction in the near future. The AIDS virus is not going away, and neither will the in- crease of infected individuals if we don't increase awareness across campus and offer testing and counseling to individuals who think they may have been infected or want to get tested just to make sure. If the infirmary were to provide testing to students, it is quite possible we could increase awareness of this deadly disease and possibly decrease the number of HIV cases at ECU and in Pitt County. Pitt County has the third highest number of AIDS cases in the state, so why doesn't Student Health Services offer testing for this deadly desease? Letters to the Editor To the Editor, In response to your recent edi- torial regarding the impending loss of the intramural playing fields, I wish to introduce the facts, as we know them, because I feel that stu- dents may have been unduly alarmed by being lead to believe that all of the fields would be removed. Currently, the lighted field north of Ficklen is configured to accommo- date four softball or four football fields according to the season. The stadium construction wili encroach 110 feet into the area. The remain- ing space will still accommodate two We can play softball or three football fields. The current timetable affects the area in early fall 1996. After completion of the expansion by September 1997, it is possible that the fourth foot- ball field could be reactivated. There are additional plans to build more commuter parking in that location, however, that project will need to be coordinated with the develop- ment of the new Blount Intramural Complex, located at the Allied Health Campus, scheduled for fall 1997. I don't speak for Recreational Services, but I do know considerable effort is being expended trying to line up alternative fields. We are still six months ahead of the "wrecking ball so sufficient time exists to find acceptable alternatives. I assure you that, although at times the process appears somewhat chaotic to the ca- sual observer, the University has a record showing it reacts well to such challenges, plans for contingencies, shows concern for the interests of students and never loses sight of its ultimate goals. George W. Harrell Assistant Vice Chancellor for Facilities Construction is good To the Editor, I am writing in regards to the Feb- ruary 20th East Carolinian. Your opinion about the construction and how it is a waste is really a petty ar- gument. 1 would like to say that the construction is what this school needs. Hi many universities can you name that have not improved their school by way of construction and still progress. Probably not many. Tell me where we would be if the General Classroom was not built. I am also assuming that you don't want a new library. You probably don't want new books or easier ways of acquiring in- formation to make your life any less stressful right? You know that new recreational center their building, the one you think is a waste of a good parking spot, don't let me catch you using it. You are also complaining about the lack of hadi-cap sic paths around campus, well I haven't seen any handi-cap people have any trouble around campus have you? You aiso mention that we have lost our intra- mural fields. Well yes we've lost the ones beside the stadium but they will be move sic to the other side by the baseball fields. You say "What more can the university do to make our lives more stressful?" I'm sure the univer- sity is doing all this construction to benefit itself rather than for us. We need to expand if we're going to make it in the future. If you don't like all the construction transfer to N.C. State. Scott Rose Store loses customer To the Editor, On Dec. 31, 1995, as Americans everywhere sat down to make their New Years Resolutions, Harris Teeter of University Center located on Charles Boulevard was making a few resolutions of its own. One in particu- lar was to tow the cars of East Caro- lina students who had been conve- niently parking at the University Center's parking lot since the begin- ning of East Carolina University's aca- demic school year. On Jan. 4, 1996, students re- turned from a much needed Christ- mas break, and a few parked where the usually had with no prior prob- lems, at the University Center park- ing lot. Surprisingly, on Jan. 5, 1996, Jack Malcahn, manager of Harris Tee- ter, had their vehicles towed away. I was one of those infuriated students who had to pay a $75 towing fee in order to have my car returned. I was at Harris Teeter picking up a few gro- cery items when I realized my vehicle was gone. When I spoke with Jack Malcahn. he uncaringly told me that he had placed flyers warning students of Harris Teeter's future actions and that the Dean of Students had phoned each student who was parking at the lot informing them that their cars would be towed. How could any of thif have taken place while we were on Christmas break? 1 told him no Dean of Students called me, nor did I re- ceive any flyer. He could care less. The situation sounded kind of fishy to me so 1 contacted the customer complaint office of Harris Teeter and reported Jack Malcahn's action and attitude. Ms. Beverly Griffin nor Mr. Dan Marett (who is the district manager) saw any- thing wrong with the situation. Why not? Do they not understand that East Carolina students probably pay their salaries by working and shopping there? How were we to know that Harris Teeter thought that they owned the entire University Center parking lot? There are many other shops in the University Center. More importantly, there were no signs threatening of towing cars. Why is everything done for the love of money? Needless to say I am an ex- customer of Harris Teeter Grocery Stores.

America falls to censorship I have absolutely got to get some- thing off of my chest What is up with this censorship of the Internet? The last time I checked, I still lived in America - land of the free, home of the brave? Does this ring a bell to any- body? Yoo hoo, Mr. Clinton, are you home? I don't know where the President of the United States gets off infring- ing on my Constitutional rights, but it's got me PISSED. I thought that the President was supposed to uphold those rights silly me, must have been something I heard in some speech about an oath of office. But then again, who takes oaths seriously these days? Obviously not Mr. Clinton. Bill - wake up! We're coming up on an elec- tion year. Do you know how many registered voters "surf the Net?" You must not. Surely you couldn't be so stupid as to purposely alienate a large majority of voters - could you? What am I talking about? This is the so-called "education president" - and by the way, I'm still waiting for that college money you promised me. But don't even get me started on that; today my gripe is with censorship. Let me tell you what happened to me the other day. I was doing some research for a paper (believe what you want, it's true) about how accessible pornography is to children on the Internet So, I figured I'd try to see how accessible it was to ME. So, I surfed aro id a little, didn't really see anything I found offensive at first But then I saw something so gro- tesque, so offensive, it almost made me sick. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I couldn't believe that this crap Jennifer Coleman GuBBt Columnist I am an American citizen reveling in my right to wear a blue ribbon to protest censorship on the Net. was right out there for small children to see! Was it child pornography? No. Was it bestiality? Nope, not that ei- ther. Was it any kind of sexual devi- ance at all? No. It was a message from a religious group. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against religion. Hell, I'm a Christian. But this group (and I can't even re- member their name - something like the Internet Bible Association) had the nerve to interrupt my transmis- sion with a message that.said some- thing to the effect of, "we have inter- rupted your transmission because we have found that this site has links to extreme pornography. We are commit- ted to keeping pornography off of the Internet and we suggest you find a life in Jesus Christ And then they quoted some Bible verse that I didn't read. I have got to find out what is on that site! Now, I was under the impression that if I want to defile my mind by wallowing in debauchery and filth, that was my right as a God-fearing American citizen. But no! The Internet Bible Association thinks that they know what's best for me. The last per- son who thought that was my mother, and now you know why I don't live at home anymore. I tried every way I could think of to circumvent their ban on the site. I wheedled and cajoled that computer. I said "pretty please" and I said, "with sugar on it?" and I said, "please please please?" I tried to get to it through other sites, using their homepages as a leaping point Nothing doing. Ev- ery time I got the same message. They didn't even switch the Bible verse! Now. Mr. Clinton, pay attention to this next part because I'm about to discuss something I think you've for- gotten. See, I'm a college student, so I know these things: there's this little document called the Constitution of the United States of America. And in . it is this thing called the Bill of Rights. And in that Bill of Rights is the First Amendment And do you know what that says? It says that I, as an American citi- zen, have the right to say what I want see what I want and hear what I want when I want to do it! And nobody, not Bill Clinton, not the Internet Bible Association, not even God himself can take that right away from me! So before you go signing any- more "Telecommunications Acts" you better think hard, Bill Clinton. Just remember who your boss is. I am an American citizen reveling in my right to wear a blue ribbon to protest cen- sorship on the Net I am also a regis- tered voter. And Bill, you're fired. Christian finds comfort I spent the first three weeks of my college career sleeping on the floor of the lounge in my residence hall. I couldn't have gone home if I had wanted to because I was 11 hours away by car and $450 away by plane. I actually became homesick and I wanted to leave. Only God knew why I didn't This all took place at a different university, however. When I arrived at ECU, I was bombarded with coun- try music blaring throughout the hall- ways and malls that only had one level. For a city boy like myself, these things more than established my place in this community as being an outsider. God had a plan. I think that everyone, at some point in their college career or cer- tainly their life, feels like an outsider. I don't want you to start crying now because this all sounds sad - just bear with me and we will get through this together. In case your wondering, I slept on the floor of the lounge because my roommate, a lacrosse player, de- cided to make our dorm room into his bachelor pad. He hung up every type of neon sign known to man and regularly (by this I mean every night) had overnight guests. Had I not dis- covered the lounge until later in the year, 1 might have dropped out of col- lege altogether. God was in control of my life. I have even heard from people that live in the near vicinity to this school that they felt like somewhat of an outsider when they first arrived here. So what's the deal? How come no matter where you live or where you go you can always find a way to feel like an outsider? Because we do not Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist The knowledge of His presence in my life is the comfort. allow ourselves to be comforted by God's presence in our life. Firstly, I would like to offer up my credentials as a psychologist They are quite limited, in fact I am not one at all. I do not profess to wield an over- whelming understanding of the hu- man psyche, however, I remember all too well what it feels like, and it is my opinion that this phenomenon is natu- ral but explainable. The reason I felt like an outsider when I was a freshman was most likely because I was out of the south for the first time. After the initial shock wore off of learning that ice tea could be consumed without sugar, I realized that I was on my own. This is the key to this condition. People, when in the absence of a comforting environment like their hometown or their family, tend to create the illusion that they have to take care of themselves and that they can take care of themselves. Most people would say that it is absurd to say that people cannot take care of themselves. People have been doing it since the beginning of time. Well they're wrong. One of the reasons for this state- ment is because I believe people take care of people. I know that without the friendship and support of people in my life, I would have trouble bear- ing the strains of this world. People that bear with each other give each other the support necessary to glide through things. God knows what we need. Most importantly, in my life, be- ing a Christian takes care of me. God puts people in my life who can care for me. I am cared for because I know that God is in control of my life. By knowing and believing that God has a plan for me that is more wonderful than I can imagine, I am cared for because I do not have to limit my op- tions to what is in my head. The knowl- edge of His presence in my life is the comfort My natural tendency, as a human being, is to compare myself to other people. This constant measuring of oneself against people and standards set by TV (etc.) is what allows the mind to convince itself that it does not be- long. Because being a Christian means giving God the permission to lead my life, and asking him for his forgive- ness: when I feel like an outsider I can thank Him for His leadership and forgiveness instead of wondering why I don't fit in with everything else in this society. It is simply my opinion that it is human for people to feel like they do not belong. Christianity does not guar- antee that I will never feel this way again, but it does offer the answer (or more importantly, the comfort) if in my life I ever feel the need lo ask the question again. "One man's vulgarity is another's lyric � John Marshall Harlan, Supreme Court justice, 1971 Sm Tuesday, February 27, 1995 The East Carolinian m m hh Thespians breathe life into "Black Voices" Historical play looks at problems of black America Dale Williamson Wrttf The ECU Thespians of Diversity once again brought the magic of live theater to Greenville when they per- formed last weekend at the Mendenhall Student Center. The play, entitled "Black Voices Prom the Past was written and directed by Thespian organizer Reginald Watson, and it proved to be an engaging and infor- mative experience filled with anger, sorrow, hope and pride. "Black Voices" is a history play that is divided into several segments focusing on different African-Ameri- can figures (both real and fictional) from the past Since one of Watson's main concerns is educating his audi- ence, he chose a dramatic structure that may wear thin on some but, judg- ing from the positive reaction of Sat- urday night's audience, seemed to fit perfectly within the overall theme of the play. Instead of telling a single narra- tive, "Black Voices" has individual characters walk onto stage and speak their particular perspective on a par- ticular aspect of African or African- American history. All of the actors wore their roles nicely. With such lo- cal talent as Courtney Draughn, Terrence Dove, Nakisha Spellers and Olayta Rigsby, these characters were given a larger-than-life presence that was felt long after one character had been replaced on stage by another. But Watson didn't just throw the audience immediately into the anger and pains of his characters. Instead, he seduced the audience into his world by opening the play with a won- derfully choreographed interpretative dance, lead by Sebrina Cooke. Ms. Cooke, with the help of two other young women, beautifully moved her body to the rhythms of African drums and magically captured the sensual- ity of a nation that would soon suffer the rape of colonization. After the dance, Man-sa Musa, a former king 'of Africa, walked onto stage. The seduction of the dance was gone. In its place was the anger and hatred of a man forced to watch his mother country fall to the chains of Europe. As Man-sa Musa, Dana Reeves was a towering presence with a thun- dering voice. To watch such a figure fall to his knees in a desperate plea for Africa is to watch a man break under the pressure of oppression. Such oppression was narrated throughout the play. While "Black Voices" was filled with hope, it still was not an easy experience. When Laetitia Lisane performed as a slave woman, we heard her tales of being dragged from her family as a 16-year- old girl to only be raped by her white master. Nine months later, she became the mother of a half-breed child that could never be fully accepted into the black or white community. Other notable characters in- cluded Sebrina Cooke as Zora Neale Hurston, one of the most influential African-American women's writers of all time, and CJ. Rowland as a black See VOICES page 7 Jackie Chan rumbles onto US movie screens Kavln Chalaaon Settlor Writer Some say that one of the best ways to judge your enjoyment of a film is to ask yourself this question: would I mind seeing this flick again? Ever? Without being bribed, or guilted, or begged to go by somebody? Pretty valid questions, so I will address them in regards to the new release of the Jackie Chan film Rumble in the Bronx, Chan's first such release in the U.S. I saw the movie. Sixteen hours later, I paid to see it again. I was nei- ther bribed, guilted, or begged to go a second time. In fact, I suggested it And about the American release? Finally! What took these knuckle- headed studio executives so damn long before they got a Jackie Chan movie? Auugh! But wait Some of you don't know who the hell Jackie Chan is, do you? Ever seen the Chinese films Police Story, Armour of God or Chan's fin- est film to date, Drunken Master 2i Ugh. all right I hate to do this, but Ever seen The Cannonball Run? Oh, you have too! Fess up! Show a little backbone, willya? Cannonball Run? Dean Martin, Dom Deluis and a cast of thousands? Well, in that hodgepodge of actors in desperate need of money was Chan, playing the Kung Fu fighting driver of that souped-up Subaru. Still lost? Walk with me, my aco- lyte. You see, Chan did some films in the U.S. in the early '80s, but martial arts films took a dive about that time. He then stayed in China, gained con- trol over his own movie production facility, and has 39 films under his belt today, including Rumble. He is the most recognizable action star in the world, and the most bankable. Nine out of the top 10 films in Hong Kong are Chan films, bested only by Juras- sic Park at number one. He is the king- daddy cheese. Everywhere except here. All this praise for a chop-socky guy, you ask? See Rumble in the Bronx and your questions will be answered. Rumble is about a guy named Cheung (Chan), who comes to the Big Apple to help out his Uncle Bill, who is getting married. Uncle Bill wants Cheung to hang out in town for a week or so after the wed- ding, helping the pretty new owner of the family super- market (Anita Mui) get accustomed to the tough Bronx neighborhood that surrounds them. After Cheung stands up to some members of a vi- cious, yet flashy, gang of motorcycle hoodlums threaten- ing the store, all hell literally breaks loose. Throw in some Mafia hoods in nice suits lead by the mysterious White Tiger, roman- tic liaisons with the biker king's girl- friend (the stunning Francoise Yip), some stolen dia- monds, a whiny handicapped child, a hovercraft chase (I'm not kidding here), lots of insane fighting, much bro- ken glass, Chan, Chan, Chan and even more Chan and you've got yourself a high-octane, fuel-injected, over-the-top action ride that makes Speed and all other Ameri- can action flicks look like The Re- mains of the Day. Did I mention Chan does ail of his own stunts? And what stunts! To attempt to describe any of this stuff in mere printed form would not do Mr. Chan, or any of the staggering fightstunt scenes, any amount of justice. As a friend of mine pointed out after a particularly cool scene involving an entire GE appliance warehouse (in which all the appliances were imple- mented in some way during the fight), "This is like watching violent ballet Yer damn right it is! So, when you see the movie, re- member these statements about the stunts you see. Yes, that jump was eight stories up. Has spring sprung?

Usual Suspects has moxie Some films never make it to the Emerald City. Some are too contro- versial Some are too small. What- ever the reason, we just never get to see some mighty good movies on the big screen. When they hit video, how- ever, they're ours for the taking. This series will look at some of he films that didn 't make the Greenville cut, the ones that got away Mark Brett Lifestyle Edttor Okay, you mugs, listen up! The Usual Suspects is out on video, and I'm here to give you the skinny. This is one helluva movie, kids, despite the fact that the bigwigs at Greenville's movie theaters didn't think anybody in this burg would wanna see it. Well, the bigshots made an error in judgment this time, pal. It's num- ber 10 in video rentals this week, and I had to go to four places just to find one lousy copy for review. 1 think it's safe to say that Greenville wanted to see this flick pretty bad. So what's the lowdown on this Usual Suspects deal? It's like this, see? There's this group of small-time hoods; pros, you understand, but strictly small potatoes crime-wise. Bank jobs, second-story burglaries, fraud, that kinda thing. More Ma Barker than Al Capone, if you get my meaning. Anyway, these mugs get muted up with this character named Kaiser Sosa. Now, Sosa is big-time. The big- gest He sits on top of a major inter- national crime syndicate, and he's so shady his own shadow don't know where he is most of the time. He's slip- pery, this one, so slippery that a lot of people don't even think he's for real. Cops, thugs, it doesn't matter. Kaiser Sosa is a bogeyman, a legend, a fabrication, they say. But even the most jaded mug on the scene won- ders. So the question is (or should I say, the question becomes), who is Kaiser Sosa? Well, I ain't telling. Just when you think you've got a handle on where this story's going, they pull the rug out from under you and you start to see things different. Then they do it again. And that's all you're getting outta me. The plot's the big deal in this pic- ture, the whole reason for seeing it.

The furious flying fists of Jackie Chan know no bounds! And they don't stay still long enough in his new film, Rumble in the Bronx, to register as anything more than a blur. Yes, he did really break his ankle in that other jump. About 85 percent of those liquor bottles thrown were real ones. Nope, no blue screens (there is this one lousy matte-painting of a golf course - but that doesn't involve any of the stunts). Yes, that's really him the entire time. Yep, that's real blood. However, it's not just the stunt work that sets Chan and Rumble apart from the cookie cutter action flicks. Chan's films also have a hys- terically wacky sense of humor, fol- lowing in the vein of the silent com- edies of the '20s. The scenes between Chan and Mui (a Chan film regular and sort of the Whitney Houston of China), for example, are like classic screwball comedy. Chan is a gifted See CHAN page 6 � :�rrti Dead Man Walking Soundtrack Jay Myers Senior Writer What Tim Robbins and his brother David, who acts as musical director on this record, have accom- plished here is a true work of art. Something unique in and of itself, considering that most soundtracks are cobbled together at the last mo- ment from available B-sides. Both Robbins brothers felt so inspired by Sister Helen Prejean's novel (the basis for the film) that they felt it could inspire other artists as well. So they sent the novel to some musi- cians and asked them to respond cre- atively to it. Boy, did they respond. If the film itseif is anywhere near as brilliant as the music found on its soundtrack, then Dead Man Walk- ing deserves its Oscar nominations (of course, we'll never know since the film didn't open in Greenville). The soundtrack itself even got a Best Song nomination for "Dead Man Walkin by Bruce Springsteen. I've never been a fan of the Boss, but this sparse acoustic song has a simple, weary beauty that communi- cates the point-of-view of a con- demned man perfectly: "Once I had a job, I had it good But between our dreams and actions lies this world In the deep forest, their blood and tears rushed over me All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun and my fear up inside of me Like a dead man talking 'Neath the summer sky, my eyes went black Sister, I won't ask for for- giveness, my sins are all I have This record is a powerhouse col- lection of gifted American singer- songwriters, including such high-cali- ber artists as Tom Waits. Michelle Shocked, Patti Smith, Lyle Lovett, Suzanne Vega, Steve Earle and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Even Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder contributes two eclectic duets with qwaali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan from Paki- stani, adding a little more credibility to Vedder's efforts to be taken seri- ously as an artist.

Take it as you will. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Last week, on "A Drop in the Bucket Our hero found himself in the mental clutches of '70s pop icon Olivia Newton John. Fbrced to relive John s horrifying career again and again (minus, thank- fully, Xanadu), our stalwart col- umnist found himself on the verge of giving in to her nefari- ous subliminal influence. And now, a very special "Drop in the Bucket" Yeah, that's what I said. Sometimes, I don't think I want to be rid of Olivia Newton John's hold over my mind. Much as I dislike her music, I can't deny that it's a part of America's pop cul- ture heritage. I mean, I think disco is a tool of Satan, but I would never sug- gest that we erase it from the his- tory books. The long national nightmare that was the disco era has to be remembered, if for no other reason than to make sure it never happens again. It's im- portant Like it or not pop culture is our culture. It's the glue that holds America together. In a so- ciety as diverse as ours, it's diffi- cult to find a common bond. There are as many different tastes as there are cultures and creeds and cities. But no matter what our differences are, we can all laugh at the memory of Miili Vanilli. And that's why, sometimes, no matter how much I hate her, I welcome Olivia Newton John into my head. Even though the pres- ence of "Physical" in my grey matter sends a sharp, pop-sweet pain through my molars a couple of times a week, I welcome it sometimes. I savor it, because it gives me a connection, however tenuous, with somebody some- where who may not try to kill me because of our great American pop culture gestalt Sometimes. But then there are other times, when I'm not feeling quite so damned Jungian, that I just want to rip out my own brain for reminding me of something so insipid. Once I realize the impossi- bility of such a task (even if 1 got through my skull without losing consciousness, 1 figure the mo- tor functions would go with the first cordy handful of brain mat- ter, leaving me helpless with "Physical" on endless replay), I get kind of scared. Not because I've just caught myself contem- plating a most likely suicidal act, but because of the power popu- lar culture has over us all. Evenings, weekends, lives are planned around pop culture.

What more do you people need to know? Is there anything wrong with this movie? In my opinion, no. But to be fair, I must warn the folks that aren't used to Asian cinema. All of the dia- logue in this film is dubbed. Even the actors who spoke English in the origi- nal Hong Kong version are dubbed. Why? God knows, but it probably has something to do with international distribution. Also, there is a choppy speed and abruptness to how the scenes play, the plot is only a little better than okay, and a somewhat absurd moral backbone intrudes on the ac- tion at times, but who really cares? This movie is exactly what it is - one hell of a fun ride. It's the kind of a movie that makes you. want to try to imitate some of the stuff you've just seen out in the theater parking lot, like you were 10 years old (despite the clos- ing outtake footage of Chan and the other actors being seriously injured on the set).

Rowland's performance as the black soldier, a soldier who represents all the black soldiers who have fought American wars, was a perfect balance between frustration, bitterness and pride. While it may have been inter- esting to focus more on an individual soldier's efforts in a particular war, Watson's decision to have this char- acter represent all black soldiers is justified. He, like all the black soldiers before him, has continuously done his duty for a country that does not value him. Watson's pacing for the play was admirable. He interjected songs, dance numbers and poetry readings between his characters' narration to help keep the rhythm of the play flow- ing. Creative choices such as this kept the audience on its toes and never let them grow tired. In fact, the show's finale was a treat when a "street bum" came in and had the audience partake in a quick question-and-answer game. Not only did this bum require that the audience interact with him, but he also quizzed the audience to see how much Black history they knew. As silly as this may seem, it was an inspired way to end a burdened play on a lighter note. I applaud Mr. Watson and the Thespians of Diversity for not only putting on such a fine production but also for having the vision, dedication and inspiration to see such projects through. I hope they enjoy continued success as they prepare for future per- formances. On a scale of one to 10, "Black Voices from the Past" rates an eight Things Really Move In the Classifieds!

Amanda Ross Sport Editor Revenge. That's what UNC-W was looking for and that's exactly what they got. The first time ECU and UNC-W matched up was Jan. 27 in Minges Coliseum. The game came down to the wire and in the end, ECU had notched another victory 45-44. But this rematch would prove to be the Seahawks' night. Saturday's game was a disappoint- ment for all players and fans. Con- sidering the first time these two teams met the margin of victory was excepted to be close. But the Seahawks won by 22 points, 67-45. The Pirates only shot 24 per- cent from the field and scored 17 points in the first half. Both were season lows for ECU. Head coach Joe Dooley admit- ted UNC-W had the upper hand i throughout the game. "They controlled the tempo and � once they got us down, they never ; took their foot off our throat" Despite the poor shooting per- l centages, ECU only trailed 20-17 at : the half. Point guard Tony Parham, who .� has been plagued with a hip pointer �i injury all � season, ; went out J of the ' game late ! in the first half, after he got kneed in � he hip. Dooley said he �wasn't .sure how Z 1 o n g :� Parham would be �'out -We w o n ' t f.know the severity of it until we get back and I let the doctors look at it" Dooley 'said.

Both teams kept trading bas- kets, and the big- gest lead in the first half was after Stan Simmons slammed one in and gave the Seahawks a 20-12 lead. ECU battled back to cut UNC- W's lead to three going into the locker room. After a Tim Basham baseline jumper and an Othello Meadows last sec- ond three pointer, the Seahawks lead was 20-17. Meadows was the Pirates lead- ing scorer with six points, fol- lowed by Basham who added five. Bryant, Vic Hamilton and Deron Rippey each had two points. Bryant and Hamilton led the re- bo u n d i n g game for ECU with five apiece. If Dooley thought things couldn't get any worse in the second half, he was wrong. ECU shot 33 percent from the Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH Vic Hamilton looks to shoot in Wedneday's contest against JMU.

The Pirates kept the score close at the beginning of the first half, but then the game began to fall apart for ECU. ECU'S offense struggled throughout the game, but in the sec- ond half the Pirate's offense kept breaking down. ECU gave up 47 points in the second half and produced only 28 of their own. UNC-W's first double digit lead came with 11:49 remain- ing when Mark Byington connected for three. However, on the next trip down, ECU'S Hamilton answered with his own three point bomb to make the score 32-35. The Seahawks kept picking away at the Pirates and eventually, with 8:55 remaining in the game, UNC-W kept the double digit lead and never looked back. SeeSEApage9 i Lady Swimmers win second straight title CraSg Perrott Assistant Sports Editor For the second consecutive sea- ! son, the ECU women's swim team has captured the CAA Championship. The Lady Pirates led conference foe James Madison by 52.5 points at the end of Friday's action in the con- ference meet and then went on to extend their lead to 696.5-632 to win the CAA crown. "We put it away early Saturday Head Coach Rick Kobe said. "It was the greatest swim meet we've ever had and the fastest win ever. We domi- nated the actioa" Kobe is obviously proud his team's efforts. "It's really special. To win a championship is rare, and to win two in a row is just wonderful The ECU women did not win any of the events in the meet but did score in every outing. This was the key to the victory, compounded with the fact that four of the eight competitors that had placed in the finals were Lady Pirates. � It was the first time in history that a team has ever won a champi- onship without winning any events, and the depth of the team was cer- tainly a factor in the win. "You win championships on depth Kobe said. "We have a lot of talented girls, and that goes a long way Since every swimmer from ECU scored in the finals, Kobe accredits all the girls as being the most outstanding performers. The Lady Pi- rates were led by sophomore Sandra Ossman who took second place in the 1650 Free, and junior Melanie Mackwood who was the runner-up in the 100 Free. Mackwood is proud of her team- mates.

Baseball team strikes up wins Players go the distance in tournament Dill Dillard Staff Wrltor After a snowedout opening game against Duke, Coach Gary Overton and his Pirate baseball team were more than ready to take the field. This eagerness showed as the Bucs took three out of four games at the Seahawk Baseball Challenge this past weekend in Wilmington. After dropping the first game against UNC-Asheville, the Pirates regrouped to beat Charleston South- ern, Kentucky and the nationally ranked Vols of Tennessee. On Friday, it certainly looked like it was the opening game for the Pi- rates, as a solid UNC-Asheville club jumped on ECU early 7-1. "Going into the game against Asheville we really didn't have a feel for our unit as players and as coaches Overton said. Despite a solid pitching perfor- mance by junior Chad Newton, a fcur run outburst by Asheville in the third inning proved to be the downfall for the Bucs. "Essentially we were testing the waters so to speak Overton said. "We were a little slow in getting started. I felt that there was a little apprehen- pened, and the way we held together when we needed points. I was im- pressed by the attitude of the team the whole year Mackwood said. The women refused to give up, and kept screaming and cheering each other on during every event "We all lost our voices Kobe Mackwood said she thought that the meet was tougher than she expected, even though ECU went in as defending champs. "It's all worth it to see the look of fulfillment on your coach's face when you finish a race Mackwood said. Sophomore Kim Field said that even though the team was expected to do well, they didn't let that go to their heads. See SWIM page 9 Sta$7UeeA For the second time this season, the Lady Pi- rate basketball team defeated Richmond in overtime. Sunday's game in Richmond proved to be victo- rious for ECU as Tracey Kelley hit a 10-foot jumper with seven seconds remaining in overtime to send the Lady Pirates away with a 68-67 victory. Justine Allpress led four ECU players in double figures with 18 points. Tomekia Blackmon added 14, Shay Hayes scored 12 and Danielle Charlesworth contributed 10 points. Allpress, Kelley and Hayes grabbed the most rebounds for the Lady Pirates each pulling down eight. ECU shot 44 percent from the field. 38 percent from three point range and 78 percent from the line. The Lady Pirates improve their conference record to 5-9 and 10-14 overall. ECU will host two home games at the end of the week. Friday night William & Mary will come to town and tip off for that game is 7 p.m. Sunday UNC-W will be hosted by the Lady Pirates at 2 p.m. These will be the last regular season games be- fore ECU travels up to Richmond for the CAA confer- ence championships next week. sion and wa fell behind four to noth- ing Along with the early deficit the outstanding pitching performance of Freddie Rask of Asheville shut the door on the Pirates opener in the tour- nament allowing only five hits and one run to score. After an awkward opening game for Overton's troops, the Pirates roared back by winning the remain- ing three games starting with SEC member Kentucky 54. After falling down one to zero in the first inning, the Pirates tied it in the third only to gain the lead in mmmmmmm the fifth. Ken- tucky would battle back to take a one run lead, but the Pi- rates would an- swer in the eighth to ice their first win of the season. "We pulled together as a unit to beat Ken- tucky and in the raanamamNa�m same day to beat Charleston Southern Overton said. It was sophomore Patrick Dunham that went the distance for the Pirates, ringing up 13 K's in the wining effort. In the 4 p.m. game against Charleston Southern the Pi- rates used something they used very sparingly relief pitchers. "We were very fortunate that in "We were very fortunate that in four games of baseball we used only three relief pitchers" � Coach Gary Overton four games of baseball we used only three relief pitchers Overton added. Senior Jeff Hewitt started for ECU recorded 4 K's but had his troubles giving up sue runs in just over three innings of play. Overton then called upon sophomore John Payne who finished the game giving up only one run the rest of the way for the win. "Along with veteran perfor- mances by such players as Lamont Edwards, Timmy Flaherty and Jason Head, our freshmen have stepped up and performed well which gave us the shove we needed to come out of the tournament as we did Overton said. Home runs from freshmen Steve Salargo and Antaine Jones in the Charleston Southern game is just a sample of the contribution the four freshmen and two to three sopho- mores that started throughout the tournament As a busy weekend was winding down for the Pirates, you would guess the road would get easier. Wrong. It was time for Overton's troops to lock horns with Tennessee, the fourth ranked team in the country. See STRIKE page 9 SID - The ECU women's ten- nis team wrapped up its three day weekend with a 6-1 loss to Davidson College in Davidson, N.C. on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Pirates (1-2) only managed to get one win out of the singles competition and were un- able to win the double point. Sophomore Rachel Cohen was vic- torious for ECU at No. 2 singles, defeating Davidson's Ashley Maner by a 6-3, 6-1 score. On the doubles side, the No. 1 combination of Anne Svae Cohen defeated Dana Casner Amber Bradford 8-6. ECU'S No. 2 duo of Allison DeBastianiLisa Hadelman were dealt an 8-5 set- back, while the team of Chelsea EarnhardtCatherine Morgan lost at No. 3 doubles by an 8-4 score.

SID - ECU'S softball team split its doubleheader in Raleigh on Sat- urday at he Walnut Creek Softball Complex, losing to St Francis in the opening game, 4-3 and defeating LaSalle, 6-1. "It was a tough loss ECU As- sistant Coach Jenny Parsons said. Senior pitcher Trade Podratsky (Centreville, Va.) took the loss for the ladies as the game moved into extra- innings. Senior Joey Clark (Los An- geles, Calif.) had a career day, going two-for-three and driving in a run. In the second game, the Lady- Pirates came ready to play. Sopho- more pitcher Christi Davis (Eugene, Ore.) had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning with two outs, but gave up three hits as she earned the victory. Clark, once again, played solidly for ECU hitting a double and going one-for-three. Junior outfielder Tanya Oxendine (Winston-Salem. N.C.) also has a double as she col- lected two hits in three at bats. Other ECU hitters who had out- standing performances include. Amy Swaim (Kernersville, N.C.) who re- corded a triple as well as going two- for-three and Dawn Conrad (Kernersville, N.C), who scoreed two runs for the ladies' cause. SID - The 1996 ECU golf team finished its first spring tour- nament in Tampa, Fla. on Sunday at the University of South Florida Ron Smith Intercollegiate by plac- ing 14th. Although their results did not reveal an improvement over the course of three days, the Pirates continued to shoot consistently better as they shot a 301. The host USF team won both team and in- dividual medalist honors as two Bulls' golfers, Chris Colli and Ricky Michelmore, finished in the top-five. Senior Brent Padrick (Fayetteville, N.C.) completed a final round even par 72 moving him in a three-way tie at 19 and making him ECU's top finisher. Sophomore Kevin Miller (Erwin , N.C.) closed out the third round with a 75, tying him at 22 with five others.

"I thought everyone did the best SEA from page 8 they could Pinther said. "We have a good bunch of guys and a lot of spirit and that helps a lot during the course of the season. Since the season is so long and the practices are so tough, with good teammates it's easier to stick with it" The ECU diving team faired well in competetion too. For the women, Stacie haymes placed third on the three meter board and 10th on the one meter board. Lisa Fredrick placed 12th on both boards and Lisa mcCoy placed 11th on the three meter and 16th on the one meter. For the men, Stephen Barnes placed fourth on both boards. Tony novak finished eighth on both boards and Bobby Austin placed 16th on both boards. ECU was never a real threat for the Seahawks in the second half. "When things didn't go well for us in the second half, you know, I don't like this term, but we sort of folded about the 12-minute mark Meadows said. "We didn't have the poise to play through it and I don't know why UNC-W won the contest 67-45. Only two Pirates scored double dig- its. Meadows and Hamilton scored 11 each. Rippey added five and Basham contributed five. Big men Jonathan Kerner and Bryant were held to just three points each. Kerner grabbed eight boards, while Bryant and Hamilton each pulled down seven. The loss drops ECU's confer- ence record to 8-7. This loss com- bined with last Wednesday's 70-72 loss to JMU puts the Pirates in a three way tie with the Seahawks and American.
