(AP) - A Fort Bragg soldier died after being struck in the head by a helicopter rotor blade just hours after another soldier was killed in a parachute accident Military officials did not imme- diately release the names of the vic- tims in Tuesday's accidents, saying families had not been notified. The soldier killed in the heli- copter accident was in an Army Special Operations Command unit The paratrooper was assigned to the 18th Airborne Corps' headquarters. KITTY HAWK, N.C. (AP) - A 10-year-old girl suffered serious burns when she dashed back into her burning home to rescue a doll from the flames, according to firefighters. Fire officials said Jessica Par- sons had escaped without injury before fire engulfed the house, but apparently returned to retrieve a Barbie doll. Investigators at the scene were told she was forced to jump from a window to save her- self. She was transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital burn unit by medical helicopter af- ter the Tuesday fire. She was re- ported in serious but stable condi- tion with second-degree burns on 26 percent of her body. Around the Country PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The teen who struck the first blow with a baseball bat in the beating death of a former altar boy was sentenced to five to 20 years. Kevin Convey, who pieaded guilty to third-degree murder in exchange for his testimony against six other defendants in the Nov. 11, 1994, beating, had nothing to say and showed no emotion Tuesday as Common Pleas Court Judge Patricia Cutler Greenspan sen- tenced him.

Wednesday, Egypt's Middle East News Agency quoted Maj. Gen. Mohamed Abdel-Kader, spokesman for the Sudanese armed forces, as saying investigators believed a me- chanical problem caused Monday's crash. The army quoted witnesses as saying the plane was in flames as it went down, and the Egyptian news agency said the pilot was in con- tact with air traffic officials right before the crash. $10 reimbursement may be used as senior class gift Wendy Houston Staff Writer The Student Government Asso- ciation (SGA) held its 14th meeting this past Monday. The executive council was not present due to a na- tional convention held in Texas, but the meeting continued with represen- Pirates tatives playing the roles of executive members. The Appropriations Committee asked the legislature to approve a resolution which would suspend rules on 10 different funds. The committee's goal was to review and fund organizations without the rep- resentatives' vote, in order to catch up on appropriations. However, in the meeting following Spring Break, they will report back to the legisla- ture with the results. After a short debate, the legislature passed the vote. Omicron Delta Kappa Leader- ship Honor Society (ODK) was funded $1,465. However, last week, Ian Eastman, SGA president, vetoed a funding bill that would allow ODK to travel to Indiana for their yearly conference. "I vetoed that bill because it vas double funded by the Chancellor and SGA Eastman said. An announcement was made that there has been a concern about the attorney genera! and honor board throughout the semester. A special committee is going to form in order to look into the judicial rules and pro- cedures. Justin Conrad, SGA senior class president, announced that the senior class gift will be a marquee wall on Fifth Street He will report more in- formation in the meeting following Spring Break. Representative Chris Arline and Eastman lobbied with the adminis- tration to obtain a $10 reimburse- ment to graduating seniors, since they paid recreational fees in the hopes of using the recreational cen- ter this semester. SGA officers found it to be in the best interest to use the funds as a means of paying for the senior gift Conrad is looking into the total price of the marquee wall, and if there is a remainder of money, the officers will decide on refunding. An opinionated poll will be held today on campus. It is a referendum to find out how students feel about the honor board and installing a cam- pus mail complex. Penn Crawford, chief of staff, asked for suspension of rules to shorten the SGA elections campaign by one day. Students may file through Tuesday, March 12 for a po- sition until 2 p.m. A candidate meet- ing will take place on Wednesday, March 13. The vote passed. on otreet Nontraditonal student group recruits across campus Debra Byrne Staff Writer Joseph Tart, senior "I'm going to work a little, go canoeing on the river and then go to D.C Jamal Adekunle, Junior "I plan to stay home and catch up on my work and maybe get into a little trouble Amy Staton, freshman "I'm going to relax and get caught up on my school work A new student centered organi- zation is forming here at ECU that will address the issues and concerns of nontraditional students on campus and across the na- tion. The National Nontraditional Stu- dent Association (NNTSA) will hold its first meeting to- day at 3 p.m. in GCB 1025. A nontradi- tional student is ba- mmmmamm sically an adult stu- dent who attends college, but school may not be the main part of their life. Many of the students are married, have families and already have a ca- reer. If you consider yourself a non- traditional student then the organi- zation will accept you. There are over 2,000 nontraditional students here at ECU. Bob Denny, chair of the retention committee for the nationa association and associate director for un- dergraduate studies, said the organiza- tion first came into being in Oct 95 in the Rocky Moun- tain area (Colo- rado and Wyo- ming). The group formed in order to share their experiences and to help each other across the state's univer- sities. Due to high interest the group decided to go national.

Although the whole ordeal may not be an easy one, the university is working on improving the system. According to Dean of Under- graduate Studies Dorothy Muller, a Registration Review Committee is currently seeking input from students on ways to make the advising and the registration process a more positive experience. "We are working through focus groups to get student input for improv- ing the registration process Muller said. "If students want to share their views on advising and the registration process, they can send it to the Com- mittee Chairman Dr. Dave Watkins via e-mail, or to the office of undergradu- ate studies Although these insights will pro- vide the committee with areas to fo- cus on for the future, Muller said one of the biggest problems has already been removed. Improvements made to the university's computer registration ter- minals have sped up transaction time. "Last year, transactions on the terminals took a longer amount of time Muller said. "With the new com- puters, that transaction time is now this group on an e-mail listserv. He went to the Rocky Mountain conven- tion to see what was going on. He wanted to be a part of the activity to launch the national organization on the east coast This is the first time that the or- ganization will meet here at ECU and the group will be in full swing for the 96-97 school year. The organization is soliciting membership now and the first national meeting will be in the fall. Some of the things that NNTSA plans on doing is to research the non- traditional student - how many stu- dents are there, where they are and their rate of success. The organiza- tion hopes to put together guide books, discuss health care and create a national newsletter as well.

Chris Arline, Sigma Phi Epsilon and the administrative vice president for IFC, was op- posed by four other candidates, two from Old Dominion University, one from N.C. State and one from Longwood College for the position as Area I Vice President. He won during a run-off with a candidate from Old Dominion Univer- sity. His new responsibilities will be to coordinate conferences and elections in throughout West Vir- ginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The theme of SEIFC this year was "Light- ing the Torch Its purpose was to provide in- formative seminars and an awards ceremony.

This is not true! "The rumor originated as a mes- sage posted on the altjoke newslist said Jack McCoy, systems program- mer at the Computing and Informa- tion Center. The message, meant to be hu- morous, says the Internet shuts down and sends robots around every leap year to clean the system of excessive files. It then recommends that every- one connected to the Internet discon- nect their computer or their files wiH be eliminated. "Some people on campus get this newslist" said McCoy and thaf s probably where the rumor got started. I started getting e-mail from different departments last week ask- ing if this was true Concerned that students might disconnect their computers from the main system and then have trouble getting re-connected, McCoy recom- mends consulting with his depart- ment before making any changes now or in the future. iuCcCc Get involved for a good causepage Good cop speaks out Get psyched for CAA tournament 8 page O 11 ?page 'ponectiM Thursday Sunny High 55 Low 35 Weekend Raining canned hams High 48 Low 25 N ?o44t fo eoc& u& Phone (newsroom) 328 - 6366 (advertising) 328-2000 Fax 328 - 6558 E-Mail UUTEC@ECUVM.CIS.ECU.EDU 7 he East Carolinian Student Publication Bldg 2nd floor Greenville, NC 27858 Student Pubs Building; across from Joyner Thursday, February 29,1996 The East Carolinian Fleming houses teaching fellows, honor students Community allows February 19 Breaking and entering Larceny - A staff member reported that sev- eral items (total value $4,494) were stolen from his locked office.

Fleming residence hall is set up for students who belong in ECU's Honors Program or are an ECU Teaching Fellow. Incoming freshmen who are teaching fellows are re- quired to live in Fleming. The resi- dents who live in Fleming the previ- ous year and wish to return must maintain a 3.0 G.P.A. and be partici- pating in honors classes. For those rooms still available the University then invites a select group of fresh- men who were accepted early and who will be in the honors program. Fleming also houses exchange stu- dents who meet the requirements to live there. "The freshmen that we look at to live in Fleming from the Honors Program generally have about a 1300 on their SAT, are in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and graduate with at least a 3.5 said David Sanders, director of the honors program. Sanders said Fleming is a very popular hall to live in and the two floor building is not large enough to hold all the interested applicants who wish to live there. Lemar Bell, coordinator of Cotten, Fleming and Jarvis Halls be- lieves Fleming is a great opportu- nity for honor students and teach- ing fellows. Bell said many of the students that live in Fleming have classes to- gether. He feels this gives students the chance to have out-of-class dis- cussions which helps them in their schooling. Bell also believes that having many of the same students in classes and living together helps students develop friendships amongst each other. "It help students Bell said. "I believe having an honor residence hall is a good thing. Anytime people in like programs can have an out-of- class discussion is positive Many students who live in Fleming find it to be a great experi- ence. "I like living in Fleming because it's usually pretty quiet so I can get a lot done when I need to said Jenny Grice, a junior communication major. Sarah Wahlert, a junior commu- nication major said Fleming is not just books and work. Fleming is a close community where she has made several friendships. "I like living in Fleming be- cause, although the people party, they also value their study time Wahlert said. "Everyone I've met there has been very friendly and open-minded Fleming's sense of unity is wit- nessed in their 1995-1996 theme One Nation Under the Groove: Ready or Not Here We Come! They share this theme with Cotten and Jarvis Halls. "We are all friends said Stephani Handy, a sophomore dance education major. "We all get to- gether and do things Michelle Duncan, a freshman ac- counting major said she believes that Fleming is calmer than most residence halls. "We have a 24-hour quiet hall which allows Fleming to be a lot calmer Duncan said. "I have friends who live in other residence halls that are really loud. Fleming is more focused towards studying Duncan said living in Fleming has helped her with her school work. "I can go to other residents who may have had the class that I am in and ask them questions, and they will give me insight about the class Duncan said.

Well, at least at a handful of in- stitutions it is. While nationwide col- lege costs have risen an average of 48 percent in the last five years, ac- cording to the American Council on Kducation. some colleges are chal- lenging the trend by slashing tuition rates. In Massachusetts, home to some of the most expensive public schools in the nation, a hoard vote Jan. 17 decreased the tuition at state colleges by five percent, and com- munity colleges by 10 percent. The Higher Education coordi- nating Council's vote to lower tu- ition was the first of its kind in Massachusetts's history and was prompted "by the belief that student charges had just gotten out of hand said Judith Gill, associate vice chancellor of the council. The council is urging the Uni- versity of Massachusetts system, which it does not control, to also decrease tuition. Some of the state's private colleges are considering a cut in tuition too, Gill said. The Massachusetts colleges joined a small group of colleges na- tionwide which are trying to attract students and hold down costs by of- fering tuition breaks In Rocky Mount. N.C North Carolina Wesleyan College slashed its tuition for next year by $2,000 or 23 per- cent. "We were anticipating increas- ing the tuition by 7.5 percent said Patricia Serjan, vice president of ad- missions and financial aid. "But when we ran an analysis, we found we would be in a better revenue po- sition by decreasing the tuition rather than escalating it She compared the previous cost of tuition to the inflated price of a new car.

Janie's parents are migrant work- ers, and they needed someone to baby- sit their daughter. Bower said. Martinez had recently married Janie's uncle, so her parents asked Martinez to watch her. When Janie's parents, Gilberta Vasquez and Macedonia Martinez, came home from work Nov. 4. they found that Janie and Eleanor Martinez had vanished, along with all of Janie's personal items, such as clothes and even her birth certificate. Eleanor Martinez, a Davidson County native, has three previous con- victions for kidnapping children, twice in California and once in Florida, Bower told the Winston-Salem Jour- nal. Florida officials also wanted Martinez on a charge of escaping from a prison in Jacksonville, Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege said. Martinez was serving a light sentence that required her to stay in prison on the weekends. Hege said. She stopped checking in last year, he said. Bower said that after Martinez left Florida, she moved to Lodi. where she got married. She then kidnapped Janie. took her across the country, stopped for several weeks in Florida and South Carolina before coming to Davidson County. Bower said. While Janie's parents have been grieved over their daughter's disap- pearance, Janie has not been both- ered much by the kidnapping. Coble said. ?She was in great spirits Coble said.

Building Bottom of College Hill Thursday, February 29, 1996 The East Carolinian Our View After a stressful week of mid- terms and all- night studying, enjoy Spring Break to the fullest: just remember to stay safe and be smart. Pack the suitcase, strap on the sunglasses because we're heading out Finally, that time of the year has arrived. That's right, it's Spring Break and we couldn't be hap- pier. It's about time we get a break from the grind of classes, the headaches of work and the annoyances of everyday life. No matter where you may be heading, you are bound to have a good time and one that will remain in your memory for- ever, because that is what Spring Break is all about, memo- ries. The best memories are made during this time because usually it is a time for friends to get together and new friends to be made, as well as road trips and hotel stays. Some of us will be heading across the country, some down south and of course there are those who will go on and spend a little relaxation time in the comfort of our own home. Wher- ever you may be going, it's a time to have fun and free your- self from the normal rut we get into this time of the year. After the hellish week most of us are having with mid- terms, it is nice to know that next week we can be carefree and just relax. We need to gear ourselves up for the second half of the semester, when, before you know it, finals will be here. Everyone knows finals are much more stressful than these midterms we have right now. For the seniors out there, this' is the last chance they get to head out anywhere before graduation, and before they get into the real world. So enjoy. It is definitely a party time of the year, but don't forget we all want you to make it back to school in one piece. Spring break is notorious for partying and consuming more alcohol than you know what to do with. We know none of you are going to break these traditions, and we don't expect you to. But being responsible for your actions during this time away is just as important for being responsible for your actions when you are here at school. While you are away, spend a little extra money to catch a cab back to the hotel room. As always, never should drinking and driving be combined. Think of the consequence of not spending that extra two dollars. Possibly jail time or even worse, an accident that may seriously hurt or even kill someone. That someone may be you or your best friend. Just imagine what kind of lasting impression a spring break like that would have on you.

Corruption gives police bad rap Abortion pushed too far I began writing for The East Caro- linian in the fall of 1994. When I be- gan writing there were two topics I never wanted to address. The first was homosexuality and the second was abortion. Today that will change. Abortion is a difficult issue. I think that it is and should be allowable in the first three months of pregnancy. It is valuable to keep this right in regards to unwanted pregnancy, rape, defor- mity and danger to the mother. I do not believe that it should be used as a form of birth control for couples who get pregnant repeatedly. It is wrong to bring a child into the world who is un- wanted. If they are not wanted, then it stands to reason that they will not get the love they need, the support or the guidance that it will take to become a successful and productive member of society. Please note that I chose not to address adoption which is a good thing, but is a separate entity that comes after the choice has been made. I have always been a strong advo- cate of freedom of choice. I believe that this right is a good thing and that it should be protected. The topic for today is a procedure of abortion that goes beyond all moral, ethical and civilized behaviors. The topic is partial-birth abortions. This process is illegal in the state of North Carolina, and in other states. In clinical terms partial-birth abor- tions are referred to as "intact dilation and evacuation This is to medical ter- By Chris Arline Senior Opinion Columnist Freedom of choice is a good and just thing but scissors and brain suction is just too far. minology as ethnic cleansing is to so- ciology. They are both terms that give a nicer name to an otherwise brutal process. According to a Nurse's account from an excerpt of Newsweek maga- zine, the process is generally done in the later stages of pregnancy. The rea- son for this process is to escape legal ramification. A baby can survive if it is born three months premature. This being the case, they must try to sup- port the baby if it is fully delivered alive. Here is how "intact dilation and evacuation" works: the mother lays on the delivery table, the doctor uses forceps to go in and grab the fetus' legs and pulls them out of the birth canal. The body is delivered all the way to the neck so that the only thing still in the uterus is the head. Scis- sors are then stuck through the back of the head and opened; a small tube is then inserted into the wound and the brain is sucked out There was a bill passing through the House in December that would put a ban on all partial-birth abor- tions. It is doubtful that Clinton would ever accept it Opponents of the bill cite that it would be the first step in overturning Rowe vs. Wade and that the proce- dure is a medical necessity. They are wrong on both accounts. The fact of the matter is that there have been many attempts to overturn Rowe vs. Wade and that they have all failed. There will be more at- tempts soon. The Christian Coalition paid a lot of money to get their men in the legislature and this is one of the big kickbacks they want to see in return. It won't happen. Our genera- tion, collectively, is beginning to vote more and the generation as a whole supports abortion, thus, so will our representation. The second argument of medical necessity is invalid as well. The fact of the matter is that over 80 percent of the partial-birth abortions are in fact elective, not necessary. In conclusion, I argue that this procedure is wrong and should be done away with. Freedom of choice is a good and just thing but scissors and brain suction is just too far. We, as children, are taught not to judge a person solely on their race, gender or religion. How is it that we feel free to judge people, however, on the fact that they carry a gun and wear a badge? I am a police officer. That's what I say when I'm asked what I do for a living. I take pride in the fact that I have been trained to protect and serve the people in my jurisdiction. Every morning when I put on my dress uniform, I know that I will make a difference in at least one person's life that day. That person may curse me or thank me from the bot- tom of their heart, but I know that I have done my sworn duty - to legally and ethically uphold the law. Unfortunately, I'm not every po- lice officer that people come across in this country. Judging from what I've heard recently, I don't even come close. Is the current thinking about police officers the same everywhere - that the power they receive through a badge and a gun has gone to their heads? That the laws of the state and the country have no relevance, but have been superseded by the unethi- cal and biased behavior of egotistical individuals? Few and far between are the re- ports and stories about officers who do their job quietly and sincerely, working solely to uphold the law and protect the public. What you will hear about are the officers who use racial slurs, take bribes, beat people into submission - anything to further their own aims, not the goals and mission J.C. Horst Guest Columnist "You only h to be lucky once. The guy you're tryt catch ha! lucky alt of WBBm of a police department We, as a nation, know all too well that corrupt police officers exist to- day. However, just as there are bad apples in any profession you look at law enforcement is no different When a group of people are given the power to infringe on another person's free- dom, it is only a matter of time before one of those people abuses that power. If that power is abused, than the abuser is as guilty as the criminal he sought to prosecute. Some people would say that the ends justify the means. If a criminal is put in jail before he can make an- other innocent person a victim, it doesn't matter how that is accom- plished. However, that statement makes an absolute mockery of the justice system we live under today. The justice system may not win all of the time, but I can personally attest to the knowledge that it strives to do so. An academy instructor once said something that has stuck with me ever since: "You (as a police officer) only have to be lucky once. The guy you're trying to catch has to be lucky all of the timer I feel that this statement may be what keeps the honest and ethical officers doing their sworn duty day after day. Simply put I don't have to abuse the law in order to catch the bad guy. If I don't catch him today, I'll catch him tomorrow. If I don't catch him tomorrow, I'll catch him next week. If I don't catch him at all, my partner will or my sergeant will, or another officer will, and on down the line. All I need, as a police officer, is one break in my investigation to catch a criminal. The criminal, how- ever, needs break after break after break in order to stay that one step ahead of me. So I don't need to abuse my power in order to put criminals in jail. Unfortunately, officers exist who believe that the weight of that gun on their hip allows them the freedom to act without responsibility. To put on that badge, to wear that gun - the person who chooses to do that takes on an awesome responsibility not only to himself, but to the public he serves. Do corrupt police officers exist in this world today? Yes. You may have run into one of them already. Does that mean that the next one you have to deal with will be corrupt? No. A worm in an apple doesn't mean you stop eating all apples, it means you throw that apple away and get an- other one. IS! Letters to the Editor No one needs pornography "One voice doesn't make the voice wrong. One voice makes it the voice of courage To the Editor, I am writing in response to an article in your Feb. 27th edition en- titled, "America Falls to Censorship I feel like someone needs to have a talk with your guest columnist be- cause she obviously does not know all about she was babbling about. First, I would like to say that I can understand the fear that many people have for censorship. No one likes to be told that they cannot read or hear something and that they should read or listen to something else. The mat- ter of the fact is that there is a bunch of material on the Internet that should not be there. I too was trying to see how easy it would be to ascer- tain certain sex information on the Net and to my disgust I was surprised with a woman giving a dog oral sex! Now, let me ask this: how many of our lives would be dramatically changed if such garbage was wiped off the Internet? Answer: they would not change. There is no need for this; the Internet was created to make an abundant amount of information ac- cessible for people to use and ieam. It is not so perverts can get their kicks off of seeing bestiality. Further- more, I don't know exactly who ex- plained to her the right of an Ameri- can citizen, but the First Amendment does not say that you can say, see, or hear whatever you want whenever you want. It says that you have the right to be informed of government happenings. There are certain types of speech that are not protected by the Constitution and I am glad to see that this smut is one of them. I don't want to know that children or even adults can see the filth crowding up the Net and I stand behind legisla- tion that prohibits it. It's about time that that Mr. President actually did something to promote the "family values" he once talked about.

Not only do participants get to exercise that day, but there are also children's games, activities, refresh- ments, entertainment and prizes, ln- will receive water bottles donated by The Bicycle Post Individuals raising $100 or more will receive Human Race T-shirts. Plus, there are package prizes for the top collectors, including tick- ets to amusement parks and vacations. As if the gratification of prizes weren't enough, the Hu- man Race is a really excel- Ilent opportunity to raise money for a whole bunch of good causes. Organiza- tions such as the Ameri- can Red Cross, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pitt ?" County, the Girl Scouts of Coastal Carolina, the Greenville Community Shelter, Hos- pice of Tarheel, the Literacy Volun- teers of America, the Little Willie Cen- ter, Operation Sunshine, PICASO, the Real Crisis Center and the United Way of Pitt County have already signed up to participate. You can raise money for any of these organizations, or one of the many others registered. If you're a member of a non- profit organization who would like to use this as a fund-raiser, it's not too late to register. The Volunteer Center will be accepting participants dividuals raising a minimum of $25 until March 15. This project is unique in that it helps almost the entire community at once. Non-profit agencies receive 75 percent of the money they collect, and the other 25 percent goes to the Volunteer Center for future activities The Volunteer Center handles mar- keting, publicity and materials - and the community provides the people. What else is necessary for a success- ful fund-raiser? Your individual group can raise money for the same charity, or for several different ones. You can chal- lenge your co-workers, team mem- bers, siblings, teachers or other reg- istered groups to see who can raise the most money. But most impor- tantly, you can have fun while giving back to your community. So now you're completely ex- cited and ready to sign up. What should you do? First call the Pitt Co. Volunteer Action Center at 830-6271. They'll give you all your registration materials and answer any questions you might have. The Human Race will take place on March 23, 1996. Reg- istration is from 9-11 a.m. Runners begin at 9:45, walkers at 11. There will also be fun and games for the family all day long. 720&we J Tight pants make the hero Kevin Chaisson Senior Writer For this particular edition of "TV Whore I would like to do something a little different and honor a single actor. An actor who defines the very idea of what a television star is and should be. This guy never whined about the grind of doing a weekly se- ries. This guy never dissed his fellow castmates for a lucrative movie deal (or semi-lucrative, if you're David Caruso). He stayed in the trenches and put out good to semi-good work when- ever possible. He even fronted a widely successful ad campaign in a series of commercials and print ads. I'm sure that he is a familiar face and perhaps a hero to you all, as he is to me. No, it's not George Clooney! No, not Sherman Hemsley! That's right it's Robert Conrad! Come on! You know Robert Conrad! "The Wild, Wild West?" Ah, that's bet- ter. Yeah, he was the guy that didn't dress up in the costumes. No he's not dead It just so happens that it's Robert Conrad's birthday tomorrow. He'll be 61 years old, and he's in amazing shape. Maybe you caught him in his last series, "High Sierra Search and Rescue when it premiered last year. No? Okay, here's the problem. You've read about George Clooney saying he's paid his dues for all of the success he's had lately with nine dif- ferent shows and failed pilots before hitting "ER?" Clooney's got nothin' on Conrad, who boasts leading roles in 12 TV shows (not counting pilots). Most however, went the way of the dodo, and have been forgotten until "Nick at Night" decides to pick them up. That is why I feel we should take this time out and honor Bob Conrad tor his body of work, because whatever crap he may have done on TV, it's all "Masterpiece Theatre" next to a show like "Family Matters Let me hit on a few of my particular faves. Let's go back to 1959, a golden age of TV, and look at Conrad's first lead role, the very popular "Hawaiian Eye Think "Magnum PI" did the studly private eye with a bikini around every corner idea first? Negative - it was Bob Conrad! The show also featured simple melodra- matic plots, glamorous locals, comic- relief sidekicks and enough "50s-style T&A to open a Playboy club. Sound like a familiar scenario? Next for Conrad was the mythic "The Wild, Wild West" which was es- sentially someone at CBS saying, "Hey, what would happen if we put James Bond in the Old West and into some scary-tight pants?" I grew up on the re-run exploits of the studly James T. West and his brilliant inventormaster of disguise partner, Artemus Gordon (Ross Mar- tin). Conrad and Martin played U.S. Secret Service agents under President Grant who stopped maniacal super-vil- lains from taking over this great land of ours, including the always excellent evil dwarven genius Dr. Miguelito Love- less. As a child, I even went so far as to tape a plastic butter knife to the end of my cowboy boots to simulate that cool boot-blade that Jim West sported.

CD Reviews Lou Reed Set the TWilight Reeling Photo by MICHELE AMICK Greg Royle contorts his body in space while showing off his frisbee skills and breathing in a little of that warm February air in front of Jenkins art building Play it safe on Spring Break Heather Zophy a y Student Health . Spring Break is such an excit- -?. xLLi- ? ing time. A week without classes ' n u what else could you ask for? The break can and does mean different things to different people, though. Some look for the quickest and cheapest way to leave the state (the "get away break"). Exotic loca- tions such as Cancun, Florida or cruising the Carib- bean are usually favorites, with the climate resem- bling that of early summer. Others look at the week-long break as the "catch up break Individuals may see this week as an op- portunity to finish papers, projects, etc while oth- ers may see this week as an opportunity to work and "catch up" on their financial status. Still others see Spring Break as the "relaxing break a time to get some R & R, maybe spend some time at home with family andor friends - just a chance to sit back and enjoy the time off. Whatever your plans include over Spring Break, keep in mind some of the following tips to help keep yourself healthy: 1) Common sense in the sun. Know your skin type. Wear the corresponding sunscreen. It is best to apply the sunscreen at least one hour prior to exposure and reapply after swimming or perspira- See HEALTH page 9 Mark Brett lifestyle Editor Lou Reed is about as close as you can get to being a rock legend without being a household name. In the '60s, when the Beatles were smoking pot and dropping acid with the Mahareeshi, Reed was developing a heroin habit with Andy Warhol. In the '70s, while Led Zeppelin was busily burning out on sex and drugs and playing arena gigs, Reed cut back on the drugs a little and explored the fledgling glam and punk scenes. In the ,80swhile the punks either went new wave or died of drug over- doses and the popular music scene went to seed. Reed dug in deeper and cut a diverse array of albums in various styles that nobody bought (including the bi- zarre industrial-noise double album Metal Machine Music, which is so dis- sonant that it makes both Nine Inch Nails and Sonic Youth sound like Sinatra). In the '90s, while the rest of the world slavishly worships the corpse of all the stuff he rejected in the '70s, Reed has settled into a compelling, sing-speak- ing style that befits his position as middle-aged alternative rock legend. His latest foray into that territory is Set the Twilight Reeling, an album that sits stylistically alongside the re- cent New York and Magic and Loss in the Reed discography. Packaged in an attractive midnight blue case that looks featureless at first glance, this album just begs to be picked up off the rack.

The Academy Award he won for Scent of a Woman honored his grandstanding acting style. In the recent Heat, Pacino seemed to give speeches to everyone from his wife to Robert DeNiro's pro- fessional burgiar character. Pacino's newest film, City Hall, allows him to play a politician, and hence, to give lots of speeches. The part was practically written for Pacino. City Hall was co-written by Ken Upper, former Deputy Mayor of New York under Ed Koch, who seems to know a bit about politics. The political maneuverings in City Hall maintain a constant tension. Every decision seems important and every deal impinges on two or three others. Mayor John Pappas (Pacino) and Deputy Mayor Kevin Calhoun (John Cusack) swagger through the world of New York politics with calm self-assur- ance. Pappas always seems to have the right timing and eloquence in any situ- ation. Calhoun works non-stop to en- sure that the governmental wheels of New York City stay well-oiled. The two of the them have the art of politics mastered so well as to make their job look easy. An event in Brooklyn begins to expose scratches in the seemingly un- marred veneer of the mayor's office when an innocent six-year-old is killed by a criminal who should have been in prison except for a too-lenient parole. Calhoun is assigned the task of deter- mining if any governmental foul play was involved in the parole report As Calhoun starts to look more closely, the scratches on the mayor's door be- gin to look like valleys One of the main suspects for cor- ruption is Frank Anselmo (Danny Aiello) a country leader for the Demo- cratic Party. Also implicated in the scandal is Judge Walter Stem, the judge that approved the parole sentence. Though the swindle serves as the thread that sews City Hall together, the political dealings deserve more at- tention. Unfortunately, the screenplay veers in the other direction and focuses on the Mafia and on Calhoun's search for truth.

The band played five original tunes, as they would for a crowd of a thousand. From the moment they took the stage, they were given the utmost re- spect from everyone that had their eyes on them. Fleming McWilliams, always aware of what the audience wants to hear, collaborated with gui- taristvocalist and husband, John Painter. They lashed out into a groove called "I'm Not Afraid a song that is set to become the band's first single and MTV video. After the song had been played, Fleming informed the audience that the song will also be played on the "Conan O'Brien Show" on Aoril 2nd. Sure enough, that caught the ears of everyone on Fifth Street. The band continued to use the energy that ev- eryone was feeling as they played other songs off their soon to be re- leased Delusions of Grandeur album set to appear on the UniversalMCA record label. As the night wore on, the con- stant struggle took its toll, as it does on every band member, and it was time for a final song. The band couldn't have used a better tune to leave us with. Using Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" as a segue to one of their own tunes, they convinced us all that even they can groove, with respect to the legends of yesterday. After they had left the stage and their smoke had cleared, Fleming and John decided to join the Greenville scene for a couple of hours, and boy did they love it! After the show I had the chance to chat with Fleming, and asked her what she thought of the Greenville scene. "I am overwhelmed she re- sponded. "I couldn't be happier! Greenville is one of our favorite places to come and play. People are always singing along - it's the most amazing feeling After talking to the rest of the band, which also includes her brother Shawn McWilliams on drums and Stan Rawls on bass, it was e sy to tell that they were all in agreement Look for Fleming and John on tour, on MTV and on the "Conan O'Brien Show" in the months to come! w lottos ?

Also remember to avoid direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m this is when the sun is most hazard- ous to you. Be aware of high altitudes where rays are stronger, and remem- ber that clouds do not prevent sun- burn. It is also a good idea to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. 2) When the sun goes down, stay in control. Remember that alcohol and other drugs decrease judgment and lower inhibitions. Do not allow alco- hol or drugs to make decisions for you. 3) Eustress (Good Stress). Take Spring Break for what it is - a break! Don't get overwhelmed with distress (bad stress) due to classes or work. Take time to relax and enjoy the week off. If you need to work, that's fine. Just be sure to leave some time for yourself. 4.) Don't forget diet and exercise: don't let Girl Scout cookies get the best of you. Vacations and home-cook- ing are always tempting, too. Be sure to moderate your diet and keep true to the Food Guide Pyramid (3-5 serv- ings from the vegetable group, 24 servings from the fruit group, 23 serv- ings from the milk, yogurt & cheese group, 2-3 servings from the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nut group, 6-11 servings from the bread, cereal, rice and pasta group, and use fats, oils and sweets sparingly). Also - exercise, exercise, exercise. It does the body good! Enjoy the break, just make sure you return to campus in good health.

L A from page 8 into scenes involving the Mafia, City Hall loses its urgency and becomes just another cop movie. Cusack gives his character as much life as the limited script will al- low. He captures the frustration of an honest man caught in a dishonest scan- dal. Completely unnecessary in the film is Bridget Fonda, who incompetently plays a competent lawyer. Pacino gives great speeches, but the script does not provide many scenes to see just how Mayor Pappas accomplishes so much. One scene evocative of what the entire film could have been like in- volves Pappas and Anselmo meeting in the lobby during the Broadway play Carousel. The intensity between the two actors and the weight of every word captured the tension of politics better than any scenes involving a chase or a gun. City Hall could have been a truly memorable film had it maintained its focus. Though entertaining and. at a few select times, engrossing, the film relies on too many cliches to achieve lasting success. On a scale of one to 10, City Hall rates a six.

Even the way cool "A Man Called Sloane" (a great Bond-esque offering loved by dozens in the late 70s) only lasted a year. How cool was this show? His partner was a huge, bald African guy with a steel hand named Torque that could affix all sorts of attachments to the fingers, from the practical to the bizarre.

There has been a lot of parity this season in the CAA, as teams such as James Madison and Richmond, who at one time ruled the CAA, have fallen down the ranks. Newcomer Virginia Common- wealth showed why they were highly touted when they came into the league finishing with a 14-2 mark in the CAA and gaining the number one seed for the tournament 1995 CAA Champion Old Dominion, continued to be strong under second-year coach Jeff Capel, finishing second just be- hind VCU. But the CAA has been a wide open race all season. ECU beat the top three seeds VCU, ODU and UNC-W, but was swept by eighth seeded George Mason. James Madison was beaten twice by ninth seeded Richmond, but defeated top seeded VCU. Confused? The CAA Tournament is a toss-up. Here's a look at this weekend's games: (H figrti M? wl (91 Rich- mond 6 p.m. Friday Welcome to the world of ex- panded conferences! This season the CAA has the pleasure of hosting a play-in game on Friday night at the Richmond Coliseum. Richmond upset second ranked UNC-W in front of a very noisy Spider crowd. Richmond, under Coach Bill Dooley, looked to have a promising 95-96 campaign, but early in January, the Spiders lost two key performers - Kevin Connor and Daryl Oliver. Connor was dismissed from the team for an off-the-court incident, and Oliver didn't qualify academically. The Spiders are led by Forward Jarod Stevenson and Guard Carlos Cueto. Stevenson ranks sixth in the league in scoring (16.2) and sixth in field goal percentage (53 percent). Cueto is a guard that can make things happen . He averages 4.9 assists per game and is also very knowledgeable about the game of basketball. He attended St Anthony High School in New Jersey home of another point guard, Bobby Hurley. George Mason is coming into the tournament reeling. As of last Satur- day, Mason had a chance to finish as high as fifth in the CAA, but after Monday night, the Patriots found themselves a spot in the play-in game. Coach Paul Westhead's go-to-guy is Junior Guard Curtis McCants. The Rhode Island native is aver- aging 22.3 ppg and 8.1 apg. McCants is a speedster and likes to get the ball up court quickly. Also look for fresh- man Jason Williams to contribute. Pirate fans remember Williams as the guy who broke the Williams Arena three point record on his way to scorching ECU for 37 points. If George Mason should win this game they will go on to face VCU at 12 p.m. on Sat- urday. (1) Virata Commonwealth vs. fflchmtffld Mtttnn Winner 12 njb. Saturday VCU is definitely the class of the CAA. Even if the Rams don't win the conference tournament and receive an automatic bid, they might have an outside chance of an at-large birth with a 21-8 regular season record. Virginia Commonwealth came into the CAA this season with Metro Confer- ence players, who were used to play- ing the likes of Louisville and Tulane on a regular basis. The Rams ate led by CAA player-of-the-year candidate Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins is averag- ing double figures in points and re- bounds (16.3 ppg, 10.2 rpg).

Gold ieagues are established for participants who wish to play at a higher level of skill while Purple leagues are more recreational in nature. Blue leagues are intended for fun (little skill required). League times will be available in a variety of options with playing times ranging from 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday as well as Sunday. The regular season will begin on Monday, March 18 and will be followed by a single elimination tournament in each respective division. All games will be played at the Ficklen Intramural Fields 14 adjacent to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The rules of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) will govern all games. In addition to the regular season and playoffs, this year will feature a preview event which will allow teams to get a varied and competitive test with several other teams in a unique format The Softball Pre- view will be available to the first 48 teams to sign up on registration day and will provide round-robin play on March 13,14, and 17. While many teams are still being assembled, a num- ber of rumors regarding consolidated powerhouses has reached this office as several captains continue to jockey for the top players. Donnie Peaks will lead the defending All-Campus champions "Young Guns" and is said to have added several new prominent members such as Russell Duvall and Geoufrey Anderson. However, Mike "Captain Caveman" Norwood boasts that he has the team-to beat in the Gold division. Norwood has gone to all comers of the campus and has offered big bucks to several key free agents in an attempt to unseat the champions. While many of these free agents are weigh- ing their options and seeking top endorsement contracts, there is much speculation regarding the final resting place of ECU's top gun - Vu "The Crusher" Donie. Donie is said to be asking for a nine-figure contract in See BALL page 13 Check out page 13 for home sports events during break! (8) George Mason After an outstanding opening to the '96 season at the Seahawk Base- ball Challenge this past weekend, Gary Overtoil's Pirates are looking to get back to work on their three game tear. Building on wins against the likes of Charleston Southern as well as SEC powerhouses Kentucky and 4 Tennes- see, the future iooks promising for the Bucs when the Highlanders of Radford comes to town. Last year, the Big South conference member Highlanders posted a winning season at 30-24 which g?e them second in the Big South Confer- ence. "Radford brings into our field a solid club featuring one of the finest pitchers we'll see all year in Anderson, as well as an outstanding shortstop in Kelly Dampeer Overton said. Left handed sophomore Jason Anderson, who Coach Overton spoke of, had a stellar freshman campaign reg- istering a 54 record with 58 strike outs and a 6.14 ERA. The pirates are expect- ing to see Anderson take the mound sometime during the four game stretch for the Highlanders. Another concern for the Pirate squad will be jun- .?-?. ior Short Stop Kelly Dampeer. Last season, Dampeer batted .358 with 16 dingers along with 58 RBI's. "Dampeer possesses two unique qualities in power as well as speed, he should " be a drafted player possibly at the end of this season Overton said. It's true that the Pirates will have to take care of business, even during the Spring Break period, but Radford will not only have to deal with the Bucs in Harrington, but they'll also have to deal with a team that is very confident "I would have to say that we are a "No doubt, our players are excited about taking the field here in Greenville ? Gary Overton confident team, but more than that we are a team that has pulled together. We are a very tight knit group and I'm very proud of how we have pulled together Overton said. ? It's no doubt after the strong 3- 1 showing in a rug- ged Seahawk Base- ball Challenge, the Bucs are on a roll. With that along with a tight knit team excited about playing under Greenville skies for the first time this "?l?"??" season, the High- landers will have their hands full. "No doubt our players are excited about taking the field here in Greenville Overton added. The first game will be a double header starting at noon on Saturday, March 2. The Bucs then will finish the series with Radford in Kinston followed by a home series with in-state rival Campbell. 6 p.m. (9) Richmond I Winner Friday, March 1 Noon (l)VCU (4) American 3:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m. (5) ECU (2) ODU 7 p.m. (7) JMU ciMrvioNjniF mm nonmi ?B 7PJ1 w (3) UNC-W 6 p.m. 9:30 p.m. (6) William & Mary Saturday, March 2 Sunday, March 3 Anything can happen.

(41 American vs. (5 East Caro- lina 2:30 p.m. Saturday Jan. 16th is a date that many Pi- rate fans have kept in their thoughts the past fev. weeks. That's when American's Tim Fudd elbowed ECU's Morris Grooms causing Grooms a col- lapsed lung, a 10 day stay in the hos- pital and causing ECU's fast start in the CAA to fade away. Welcome to round two. Grooms has recovered from his injury and should be back to almost 100 percent for the tourna- ment The CAA handed Fudd a five game suspension, and American went on to finish 8-8 in league play. American's lethal weapon punch is Fudd and senior Guard Darryl Franklin, who is definitely the dean of CAA guards. Fudd came back from a knee injury to average 16.1 ppg, and Franklin was not far behind at 15.6 ppg. American probably has the best defender in the CAA, Duane Gullium, who lit up the Pirates with some fero- cious slams last year in the tourna- ment. Also look for Nathan Smith, who has been nicknamed the "Morgantown Rifle to look for the three ball. He is shooting 39 percent from behind the arc, and can turn a game around quickly. ECU has been on a downward swing since the beginning of Febru- ary. After starting at 7-2 in the CAA, ECU dropped six of their last seven conference games down the stretch. The return of Grooms should help some, but the Pirates have to find a way to score. Point Guard Tony Parham has been hampered by a hip pointer most of the season, and Tim Basham and Jonathan Kerner, who were keys to ECU's early success, are in scoring slumps. ECU lost both regu- lar season matchups to the Eagles, but beating a team three times in one sea- son is difficult The Pirates will have to find some scoring help to move on to the second round. (2) Old Dominion vs. (7) James Madison 7 p.m. Saturday Who ever thought that you would see James Madison and Old Domin- ion in the first round of CAA play? These two teams have met for the championship the past two years, but it has been a totally different story this season for Coach Lefty Drisell and his Dukes. There have been rumors all sea- son that this could be Lefty's last sea- son in Harrisonburg, and JMU could have won an Oscar this season for their part in Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. The Dukes started off a horrid 1-10 in the CAA, but bounced back with five straight conference wins to end the season. JMU's top gun is senior Guard Darren McClinton. The Maryland na- tive leads the conference in scoring at 22.3 ppg, and in three pointers at 4.1pg. McClinton has been the Dukes main threat all season, but look for Charles Lott and Ryan Culicerto to contribute. Lott is averaging 14.2 ppg, while Culicerto had a career high 15 points in JMU's last regular season game against American. Culicerto scored the last nine Duke points to help secure them a spot out of the play-in game. Old Dominion was in a win-lose situation this season. After shocking the college basketball world last sea- son by beating Villanova in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and losing seniors Petey Sessoms and Mike Jones, the Monarchs had a lot of rebuilding to do. But don't feel sorry for Coach Capel in Norfolk. He returned 1993-94 CAA Player-of-the- Year Odelle Hodge, after sitting out last season with a torn ACL knee in- jury, plus he added North Carolina A&T transfer Joe Bunn, who lit up eventual national champion Arkansas for 20 points in 1994. The key to the Monarchs' success is Bunn. The Rocky Mount. N.C. na- tive is averaging 15.8 ppg, and 7.5 rpg, and he is very intense on the floor. Bunn is the type of ball player that every coach in America wants on his team- Look for the ODU-JMU matchup to be the best game of the opening round. Any time these two teams get together, there is always a lot of ex- citement (3) UNC-WibninflPP vs, (6) Wil- liam and Marv 9;30 p.m Saturday Jerry Wainwright and his Seahawks had to be looking forward to conference play back in December. UNC-W was 2-8 and had just played road games against, Cincinnati, UNC- Charlotte, Mississippi St, Manhattan and at that time, number one ranked UMass. So how did his troops re- spond? Well, they won five of their first six CAA games, and went on to finish third in the conference. Wainwright has been known to say that the tough non-conference slate his team faced in the early sea- son would help them down the road. Hopefully it will help them in the tour- nament UNC-W is the type of team that always seems to find themselves in the upper bracket of the CAA with- out getting any respect. They play a slow dovn type offense, and lead the CAA in scoring defense at holding their opponents to just under 60 points a game. So why should UNC- W be worried about William and Mary? Well, just two weeks ago UNC- W got hammered in Williamsburg 63- 44. The Tribe has the most un- derrated big man in the league - 6'9" David Cully. Cully has 54 blocks this season which tops the CAA. Wake Forest transfer Bobby Fitzgibbons, is a three point threat for William and Mary, and freshman Randy Bracy has been a plus for Charlie Woolum's squad all season. This is a game that UNC-W should win if they get some produc- tion from Preston McGriff. However, UNC-W knows how it is to exit in the first round. Coach Wainwright and his squad don't want a repeat of last sea son.
