A report released by fire in- vestigators Tuesday said the par- ents and adult relatives of Zacheriah and Angelica Cooper routinely left lighters in easy reach even though some of the family's five children had a history of play- ing with fire. Zacheriah, 1, and Angelica, 3, died of smoke inhalation after a sibling ignited bedding with a cigarette lighter March 1. HIGH POINT (AP) - A police officer offered $500 of his own money for information that leads to an arrest of people involved in a dog fighting ring that dumped brutalized dogs by the side of the road. Nelson Moxley announced his offer Monday on television. He had received more than $2,400 by Tuesday afternoon from people wanting to help the cause. Officers discovered the four dead and two injured dogs Mon- day morning.

But when police went to his home to arrest him, the suspect - a fast-driving scion of one of the West's richest families - was found dead, an apparent suicide. Breeden, 36, owned a BMW. CHICAGO (AP) - Prosecu- tors today dropped all charges against a man they had said re- peatedly raped his children, in- jected them with drugs and fed them rats and roaches. The move comes six weeks after a spectacular 1,200-count assault, abuse and battery indict- ment was revealed against Gerald Hill. Family members applauded as his case was discharged. In court today, prosecutor Mark Cavins said the state could not sustain its burden of proof after three of the four children recanted their stories. Around the World BEIJING (AP) - A powerful earthquake has leveled remote towns in northwestern China, kill- ing at least 24 people and leaving 10,000 homeless. The magnitude 6.9 earth- quake late Tuesday struck settle- ments along the centuries-old trade route known as the Silk Road in China's Xinjiang region. The quake and 68 after- shocks of up to magnitude 5.1 caused 50,000 buildings to col- lapse and cracked a dike, govern- ment seismologists said Wednes- day. At least 78 people were in- jured, nine of them serious. Sharon Franklin Staff Writer A preliminary study requested by the state legislature found that five of the 15 schools in the university system, including ECU, have been under-funded, but there is no infor- mation yet on whether or how this ineq- uity will be ad- dressed. The legis- lature re- quested the In- equity of Ex- pe n ditu re Funding Study to determine if any schools in the system had received less than their fair share of fund- ing in the past The study ��mi����,������ used four basis of comparison. These included a campus to campus compari- son within the university system, a comparison of system campuses with "We are pleased that our analysis of under-funding have been confirmed by an independent and objective consultant" � Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs similar campuses in the south and a comparison of comparable campuses in the nation, and they picked four states and ran UNC- system data through their budgeting formulas. Results showed that ECU has been under-funded by $4.8 million dollars, or $306 dollars per full-time student "We are pleased that our analysis of under-funding have been confirmed by art independent and objective consult- ant said Richard Brown, vice chancel- lor of business af- fairs. "ECU faces many challenges that this type of addi- tional funding would go a long ways to sat- isfy The study infor- mation was just one of many topics dis- Mmmbmmb cussed at a regional meeting of the UNC Board of Gover- nors held Tuesday afternoon at Mendenhall Student Center. The meeting was one of six re- gional meetings the board sponsored across the state to familiarize area legislators with the university system's concerns for the General Assembry's summer session. Seventy or more legislators are expected to attend one of the work- shops. "Don't go anywhere without the support of your bankers said C. A Spangler, president of the UNC-system schools.

Royster Staff Writer Two ECU students, ages 18 and 21, were victims of unrelated rapes the week before spring break. According to police reports from the Greenville Police Department the first assault occurred on Feb. 27 in a Sheraton Village townhouse. Detec- tive D. R. Best of the Greenville Po- lice Department said that the victim, age 18 worked as an employee of the assailant in a local restaurant "The victim accepted an invita- tion for a drink at his residence Best said. The victim was sexually as- saulted later in the evening. Best said the victim did not give consent for the sexual activity and had not previ- ously dated the suspect The victim went to ECU's stu- dent health center following the crime. Later, the victim filed a report with the Greenville Police Depart- ment The suspectwas questioned by the police department and released. To date, the victim has not de- cided to prosecute the case. Detective Best commended the victim for report- ing the incident "Prosecution is a very personal decision the victim must make Best said. "The victim must decide if the outcome is worth the exposure. I think any rape victim is very brave to come forward and report the crime Police reports also show a simi- lar crime which occurred on Feb. 29 in the parking lot behind the Univer- sity Book Exchange (UBE), at 543 Evans St A student age 21, was leav- ing the downtown area at 1:15 am when an unknown man entered her vehicle on the passenger side. Reports stated that the suspect drove the victim to a dirt road north of Greenville where he attempted to rape her. Two vehicles followed them and five men stood outside her vehicle as the crime occurred. Following a struggle, the victim fled in her car and was forced off the road by the other vehicles. She ran to a nearby house and contacted the Pitt County Sheriffs Depart- ment Greenville police reports de- scribe the suspect in the kidnapping and rape as being, "a black male, 510' and 175 Ibs 22-25 years old, with black hair and a mustache Detective Best said, that in any rape case, immediately contacting the police is imperative. "The sooner you report a sexual assault, the better the chance of pros- ecution you have Best said. "Head hair, pubic hair, pictures and fibers from the crime scene can be re- trieved Detective Best recommends that students take any preventative steps possible. "Make sure that your doors are locked at all times and the window shades are pulled Best said. "Don't undress in front of the windows and never accept rides from strangers Anyone with in.ormation should contact the Greenville Police Depart- ment at 8304315. On-line class schedules ease registration CIS plans to update classes daily throughout week Tara Conrad Staff Writer Ever stop to think about what a hassle registra- tion is? Especially after standing for hours in one line, only to find out that your class is already full? Worry no more. ECU's Department of Computing and Information Systems (CIS) has developed a new program on the World Wide Web (WWW) System that will solve all of students' pre-registration worries. Now, with access to the WWW, it is easy to find out if certain classes are going to be open once it comes time for registration. If you do not have access to the WWW on a personal home computer, access to the system is available on one of the many computers at the various labs across campus, along with those lo- cated in the library. This system was developed only two weeks ago. It wili give students listings of the latest updates on classes categorized by the different schools, such as the School of Art or the School of Business. As of now, the listings will include the classes for both summer sessions and next fall semester. "This is a big step forward for us in the depart- ment said Freda Pollard, a development manager for CIS. "It gives students a chance to gain access to real live data that is just a couple of hours old in order to complete the hard part of registration, right on their own The system was developed by a group of people at CIS who started by taking snapshots of the various data. A programming group then went on to put these snapshots together, which took a couple of weeks to complete. As registration proceeds, there will be people within the CIS office providing the new data day by day. "We will try to update the new data as quickly as possible said Blake Price, director of CIS. "The size of the classes will change as each new student regis- ters, which is a fast-moving process See ON-LINE page 3 Photo by PATRICK IRELAN New attorney general Dawn Woodward is sworn in by SGA Speaker Harry Bray during Monday night's meeting. SGA swears in new attorney general Adviser appointed from downtown courthouse Wendy Houston Staff Writer The Student Government Asso- ciation (SGA) has found an outside adviser, appointed a new attorney general and suspended rules to fund a Student Volunteer Program dur- ing the past two legislative meetings. Angie Nix, SGA treasurer, an- nounced Glen Perry as the SQA ad- viser. Perry is an assistant district attorney in downtown Greenville. In addition, he is an alumnus at ECU and took part in SGA. He spoke briefly about commitment "Remember goals of improving East Carolina Perry said, "you must have the desire to improve East Caro- lina through student government Don't let doubters get you down, ful- fill your potential Use opportunity to the fullest" Dawn Woodwanl was sworn in under oath as the new attorney gen- eral to finish out the year, after the previous attorney general David McDaniel resigned. Woodward held a position on the honor board and was recommended by Karen Boyd. associate dean of students and the dean of students' office. There will continue to be an in- vestigation of the honor board and its procedures pertaining to the rep- resentation of students on campus. "The constitution calls for a spe- cial procedure for review of the honor board said Jonathan Phillips, SGA rules and judiciary chair, "it consists of eight people: two ap- pointed by the student body presi- dent (Ian Eastman), two appointed by the speaker of legislation (Harry Bray), two appointed by the honor board itself and two appointed by the faculty. The president and the speaker have called for that meet- ing to be convened There was debate about fund- ing the ECU Student Volunteer Pro- gram. The appropriations committee originally asked to suspend the rules so that the program could receive immed.ate funding. Their allotted budget allows volunteering students to be covered by insurance. "The most active volunteer time is in the spring said Dale Emery, SGA vice president "The insurance covers 125 students volunteering at one time The main concern expressed by Eastman was the fact that SGA is to fund student organizations with con- stitutions. He warned the legislature to be careful with funding programs. "Procedur'ally funding is sound Bray said. The bill passed. Also, Eastman announced that all student organizations need to have their annual appropriations budgets turned in to the SGA office at Mendenhall 255, by April 1. "I am willing to assist any groups that have questions Nix said. Registration concerns voiced by students Chancellor seeks improvements Stephanie Ann Eaton Senior Writer As the sounds of spring echoes around the ECU campus, students are prepar- ing themselves for the heartache of registration. Long lines, meeting with their advisers, not getting the classes they wanted and an abundance of other problems are just a few of the things students have to look forward to. Die hard students who are determined to camp out in front of Whichard so they will be able to get to a terminal that is open before eight o'clock will no longer have that luxury. All terminals will open at 8 am mis semester. "The problems with registration is not being able to get the classes you need for your major said Crystal Davis, a sophomore music therapy major. Other students are angry that certain classes are not every semester. "ECU does not offer the classes you need every semester said Vikki Barkley, a freshman pre-pharmacy major. Students feel that by not offering classes every semester they cannot get the classes they need to graduate. "You cannot get all the classes you want, "said Eddie Lee. a junior history major.

Debra Byrne Staff Wrttor The East Carolina Native Ameri- can Organization (ECNAO) has already and will participate in a number of activities thia week. A Pow- Wow will be held at the bottom of College Hill on Saturday from 12-6 p.m. This is a gathering of Native American tribes from all over the U.S. primarily from the east coast The Pow-Wow is open to the public in order to open the group and their cul- ture to the community. There will be Native American dancing, drumming, singing and trad- ers will be there selling Native Ameri- can crafts. Nikki Epps, president of ECNAO said a Pow-Wow is a way to carry on traditions and renew friendships as well as meet others. "A Pow-Wow is a celebration of Native American culture in order to honor our culture and carry on tradi- tions Epps said. "It is spiritual, reli- gious and social. There is a lot of mean- ing behind a Pow-Wow and you should be there to experience it" Also, because ECNAO is the only Native American organization at ECU, the student union visual arts commit- tee asked the organization to host the reception for the Lumbee Heritage Art Ehibit that is currently being shown in Mendendall Student Center. This traveling exhibit is of the Lumbee heritage and was sent to ECU by the Mint Museum in Charlotte. Information concerning this ex- hibit came to the student union. Since there had not been an exhibit in awhile, the visual arts committee decided to have the exhibit at ECU as a co-pro- gram with other groups. This 40 piece photo exhibit dis- plays Native American family and daily life. The majority of photographs were taken by David Oxendine.

He said the changes were made because of results of a study conducted by the Registration Focus Group, which he appointed last fall. The changes that have been intro- duced to help students relieve stress are vast Eakin would like to see informa- tion about the registration process be communicated more effectively by offer- ing information on the World Wide Web. Eakin also asked that academic vice chan- cellors, deans, chairs and faculty senate officers review the "special permissions" required to register. He would like to put an end to the majority of "special per- missions" needed for classes. In the fu- ture, Eakin would like to investigate the possibility of registering through on-line computerized registration that students could use themselves. Eakin asked students to be patient while registering. He said he recognizes registration is a stressful time. He said the best way for students to handle reg- istration is to see your advisor before registration week, have your schedule planned out before you see your advisor and have an alternate plan just in case you do not get all the classes you need. "When I was a freshman or sopho- more registration was a real pain in the (butt) said Desmond Marks, a senior computer science major.

That is below the salary levels of 4O60 percent of institutions with com- parable missions When benefits are factored in, UNC ranks even lower. ��Our faculty and staff are good soldiers Eakin said. "1 knew it's on their mind that their salaries aren't keeping up with the rate of inflation tlier states are making aggres- sive moves to overtake UNC. The state of Georgia raised faculty salaries by 6 percent last year and has committed to percent annual raises through 1998. "If this erosion continues, we're going to have trouble Spangler said. It we let Georgia get ahead of us, we're dead ducks. Legislators expressed concerned about long term effects on retaining staff. "We have to compete with private institutions, out-of-state public institu- tions and corporations Spangler said. �It's especially difficult to get corpo- rate finance and computer science people because of competition with triangle park industry "This is disgraceful ninth district Representative Henry Aldridge said. "I hope we can do something about it The board also expressed strong support for salary increases for univer- sity SPA employees. Legislators raised questions con- cerning the possibility of an engineer- ing school as requested by the Global Transpark. "It's obvious that ECU would like an engineering school as all the other campuses would Spangler said. "1 don't know how it's going to turn out" Citing the many letters and phone calls received by the board from easterners favoring an engineering school for their area, Eakin said an official request should have come via proper channels. "This engineering school didn't come through the university at all Eakin said. "This is so far out of the normal cycle that nobody knows what to do with it Whatever programs are developed, we need to work with and support the global TransPark The board is also seeking $11.8 million in funding to improve compen- sation and benefits for graduate stu- dents who serve as teaching or re- search assistants. According to the board's informa- tion packet, virtually all other public institutions offer graduate students either a free education or in-state tu- ition rates in return for their services as teachers and researchers. The net cost to graduate students is so low that a N. C. student could attend many ex- cellent public institutions as an out-of- state graduate student at a lower cost than the resident tuition and fees re- quired at N. C. state or UNC-Chapel Hill. A benefits package tha wouW include health insurance, a prerequi- site offered free by many competing institutions, would account for $8.5 million of the requested increase. In conjunction with providing more equitable compensation for teach- ing assistants, the board said it would like to strengthen the programs avail- able to ensure that foreign-bom gradu ate students who teach are proficient in spoken English. The board is requesting $12 mil- lion to fund technology initiatives. This will be used for equipment and the training required for faculty to use the fiber optic networks between libraries, academic buildings and student's rooms. "This is our biggest need Spangler said. "We have the ability to get ahead in this area. Faculty mem- bers are beginning to understand the teaching possibilities "This is the wave of the future. No doubt about it Spangler said. "This is real Some campuses have made signifi cant inroads in this costly endeavor, the board said, but others lag far be- hind for lack of funds. "ECU is ahead of the curve Eakin said. "We have installed a sys- tem that allows us to connect any fac- ulty office and student's rooms. Even as I say this though, not all are on it because we can't afford to make the connections The board is requesting $3 mil- lion for services to the public school svstem. "We have 60,000 school teachers who don't know how to use a com- puter Spangler said. "We put those teachers out there and it's our respon- sibility to support them through their career The successes of ECU 's Model Clinical Teaching Program have con- vinced the deans of the system's 15 teaching programs to put similar pro- grams into practice, Spangler said. The board requested that tuition be kept as low as possible. They said that N.Cs practice of investing heavily in the university, which has kept tu- ition low. reflects the philosophy em- bedded in our constitution that every- one pay for the university because ev- eryone benefits.

Most of ECU's student body has probabiy never per- sonally experienced a time when 18-year-olds could le- gally suck down alcoholic beverages. But it wasn't too long ago that turning 18 meant, along with the right to vote and die for the good old US of A, all the alcohol you could drink. But if more states follow the lead of the great state of Louisiana, that privilege could be returned. Yes, it seems that Louisiana has declared the 21 drink- ing age unconstitutional. We here at TEC applaud this decision. While we certainly don't endorse alcohol abuse, we find the whole 21 drinking age idea a bit ridiculous and inherently unfair. In America, citizens are officially considered adults at the age of 18, with all the benefits and penalties that adult status brings with it At 18, we are allowed to vote in local and national elections. We are considered ma- ture enough to have a say in the way the country will be run, but we aren't mature enough to drink a Budweiser? Another glorious part of being an adult is military service. At 18, all men are required to register for the Selective Service under threat of financial penalty. If America goes to war, those same 18-year-old men can be drafted and sent off to fight and die. But they can't have alcohol. Also, 18-year-olds who commit crimes are tried as adults. They are old enough to know right from wrong, the state reasons. They are mature enough to control their own fate and make their own decisions regarding the breaking of the law. If convicted of a serious enough crime, they can serve hard prison time or, in some states, get the death penalty. But they can't buy a beer. If they want, people can get married at 18. They can hold a job, buy a house and a car, pay taxes, buy pornog- raphy and raise a family. That's right, people can create and guide a new human being through life, shaping their own little piece of the world's future at the tender age of 18. But if they have a mixed drink, they might do some- thing crazy. The original intent of the 21 drinking age was to keep alcohol out of the hands of high school kids. A high school student, it was reasoned, might have 18-year- old friends who could buy them beer. But those same kids would be less likely to have 21-year-old friends, and so the raising of the drinking age was instated. It was the '80s, the age of Reagan and "Just say no and America was willing to sacrifice the rights of its new adults in the name of saving its youth from the evils of alcohol. Unfortunately, anybody who's been in or around a high school in the years since the drinking age went up knows that it didn't work. High school kids drink just as much as they ever did. Somebody's always got an older sibling, or maybe there's this old drunk who'll buy stuff for the kids in return for a share of the loot. Whatever the case, the plan didn't work. It was ill- advised and unfair to begin with, and it's time we cor- rected this mistake. Several other states are considering legislation similar to Louisiana's, so maybe the days of the 21 drinking age are numbered. We can only pray.

For information, call (919) Adviser evaluations reap benefits Well campers, everyone's favor- ite time of the semester is just around the corner. It is registration time. A time when students frantically scramble around trying to find out who the best teachers are for the classes that they'll be taking, what section numbers their friends will be in and when all the cute little fresh- men camp outside Whichard. The most important part of the whole process is going to see your adviser. This is where you go for guid- ance. They are the faculty member that helps a student to select classes, plans their academic futures and keeps track of your progress. I have always been very fortunate. My adviser has always been there for me. He had, or made the time, to keep me focused, ask me where I want to go and show me how to get there. When I was much newer to the Uni- versity, he painstakingly took the time to show me the ins and outs and in- form me of my responsibilities. I feel blessed and know that this has en- riched my ECU experience immeasur- ably. Unfortunately, others have not been so blessed. I often hear horror stories from friends about dilemmas with their advisers. Common com- plaints heard around campus are that advisers don't keep meetings well, aren't around during theii isted of- fice hours, and even more importantly, they are not knowledgeable about the programs they are supposed to be guiding the students through. I don't believe that these poor advising practices are due to a com- plete lack of responsibility or out of sheer neglect It is out of being un- aware of what is wrong with the way they perform their duties. The fact of the matter is that oftentimes advis- ers, especially ones that are new to the university themselves, are ill-in- Chris Arline Senior Opinion Columnist The mosl &; - important part of the (registration) process is going to see your adviser. formed of what their duties are. The good news is that those hard working people over at the office of undergraduate studies have come to bat for both the students and the ad- visers. They have compiled a survey to help work out the problems. The survey is entitled the AdviserAdvisee Evaluation Survey. The survey posts six statements which are to be re- sponded to with one or two word an- swers. The advisers are asked to par- ticipate by handing out the surveys during the student's visit for pre-reg- istration and advising. There will also be a table out in front of the student stores March 18- 22 and the 25-29 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Office assis- tants from the academic support cen- ter will be volunteering their time to work the table. Advisers have the option of whether or not they wish to take part in the survey by allowing themselves to be evaluated. Since it is an option, some may choo.se not to participate. I consider this to be dropping the ball and undoubtedly not fulfilling an ob- ligation. When I take a test, I am ful- filling an obligation that I have to show my knowledge in the subject I am being tested in. My professor then evaluates my performance and returns his judgment. If I don't get that evalu- ation back, then I don't know what my strengths and weaknesses (which you'll never find on any of my tests) are and therefore can't better myself for the next time, thus not fulfilling an obligation to be the best I can. It is crucial that more students take part in pre-registration. In recent history, there has been a downward trend of students taking part in this process. Instead, they choose to wait until right before the next semester or during the first week of it. This is a bad thing because it does not allow the departments to schedule enough classes. If only X number of students sign up for a class early, then there vail not be enough sections set aside to accommodate the actual number of students, Y, who need to take the course. This means that since Y can- not be accommodated, some students will be graduating in four and a half years instead of four because they couldn't get all the classes they needed in time. Remember this the next time you can't get into a speech class. In conclusion, let me again stress the importance of completing the AdviserAdvisee Evaluation Survey. It is the best way to ensure yourself that your adviser knows what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how they can better themselves and you the student. No freshmen, I wasn't making fun of you for being freshmen, that's noth- ing to be ashamed of. When you get older you realize that it makes a lot more sense to just go to a department that doesn't have much trafficking, register just as quickly, and sleep in your own bed. Some day you'll get all your classes. But until then, make that alternate list nice and long. Elections fail to inform Life is one big popularity race. It's true! For instance, when we go to vote for who we want to be the president of the United States, how much do we really know about the candidates? Mainly how well they can impress the people with their deceit and cover-ups. The great thing about this is that we have the very same occurrence going on right here at ECU. The elec- tions are coming up and what do we know about our own candidates? Since there does not seem to be a debate, how do we, the students, know what these candidates can do for us? Let's face it, that's why we vote for these people, so they can help us out. I've seen tons of banners all tell- ing me who to vote for. How can I make a conscious decision as to whom to vote for when I have no idea who these people are or what they stand for? It's quite logical to feel this way, don't be so shy about it. Voice your opinion and ask these candi- dates what they can do to improve ECU and to try and help the students out If that candidate cannot give you a concise answer to your question, do they really need to be in office? I wonder sometimes what life would be like without all these poli- ticians. Perhaps quieter and less pol- luted. When election time comes around, I make sure my boots are pulled way up, because it sure begins to pile up! My point is that the candidates at ECU have to hold important posi- tions and we have no idea what they Brian Lewis Burns Opinion Columnist We always complain that our fees go to waste and that wfe need more input ii spending. can do to help the campus. So, how do we vote for them? Simple, popu- larity. When it is time to vote, there are tons of people running around trying to slap a sticker on your chest that announces to the world who you should vote for. Sometimes if you're real lucky, you can meet the actual candidate. Don't expect these people to be shaking hands or kissing ba- bies though. How can we stand to vote for these people if they are just a name on a piece of paper? Oh, there are some beautiful banners out there, I have to tell you. Yet, 1 wonder how much time was spent on those ban- ners. Surely that time could have been better spent speaking to the student and finding out what the stu- dents feel are the problems here at ECU. No, that time was spent mak- ing those wonderful banners that we can now see hanging up all over cam- pus. I have to hand it to this crowd, they truly deserve to be politicians. Imagine, running an entire campaign without ever having to make an ap- pearance or give any speeches, or for that matter, announce your position on certain issues. They do however, have a small coverage in TEC. This enables them to craft their image so that the students believe they are the best candidate for the job. To be able to do that and win an election truly is the work of a mastermind politi- cian. I'm sorry, but if we go out there on election day and vote for certain candidates because they dress well or because they have nice smiles, what does that say about us? Are we so apathetic that we can't take the effort to find out about these people? I know that it takes effort, but if you want your student fees spent prop- erly and not wasted, you need to do this. We always complain that our fees go to waste and that we need more input into how our money is spent; well then, do something about it. This is our chance to decide who can control our money. Once the voting is over and the new candidate is in office, the time for complaints is over. Nothing more can be done. We must live with the decisions we make. Remember, make this election one that is concerned with issues and what the candidates can do for us. We pay to go here so let's make sure our funds are not wasted by a deceit- ful and corrupt politician.

I Thursday, March 21,1996 The East Carolinian Lumbee heritage put on display Dale Williamson Senior Writer In an effort to revive forgotten histories of America, the Mint Mu- seum of Art has gathered a collec- tion that celebrates Native American history. Entitled "Recollections: Lumbee Heritage this exhibit fea- tures photographs depicting the lives and traditions of the Lumbee people of North Carolina, and ECU is fortu- nate enough to be able to showcase this exhibit for the next few weeks on the second floor of Mendenhall Student Center. Even though the Lumbee Indi- ans have had to adapt themselves to the white culture, they have not al- lowed this to destroy their sense of history and proud heritage. They re- main as a tight community, centrally located in Pembroke, N.C and their 42,000-member tribe keeps many tra- ditional social activities alive. Such social functions include hog killings, quilting parties, annual Lumbee Homecomings and annual Pow- Wows. Acknowledging that there is a significant Native American popula- tion here at ECU, Tyler Dockery, the visual arts chairperson for Mendenhall, feels that an exhibit such as this is appropriate. "We hadn't had a photo exhibit in some time Dockery says, "and there is a local in- terest in Native American history The photographs, which feature works from Lumbee photographer David Oxendine, Robert West and many anonymous photographers, il- lustrate a pre-1945 history of the Lumbee people. "It is a photo exhibit of how the Lumbee Indians lived their lives It's an overview of their family and community life notes Dockery.

Rortda Cranford Senior Writer 7&6e rfir z Shatner celebrates birthday Every so often, our beloved TV Whore is inspired to go off on a flight of fancy. His love for Star Trek's Wil- liam Shatner, whose birthday is to- morrow, has filled him with a sick, twisted desire to pen the following trib- ute in Shatner's honor. Kevin Chaisson Staff Writer Whore's Log: Personal. Stardate 96318.11 I am preparing for the big birth- day celebration at Starfleet Headquar- ters in honor of one William Shatner, the mirror-universe alter-ego of our own Captain James Tiberius Kirk. We have had the pleasure of Mr. Shatner's amusing, if not long-winded, tales ever since the Enterprise was caught in the mysterious space anomaly (see log entry 96115.42) that transported Mr. Shatner from his dimension into ours. It has been over three months and neither Mr. Spock nor Scotty has discovered a way to send him back. So in the meantime, Shatner has busied himself about the ship in other ways, all the while telling us some great stories about him as "captain" of the Enterprise. "I had problems believing Shatner could have acted as Kirk, what with the toupee and girdle �� � mm � maw a 11 �hmmbi l William Shatner Heh! I remember something he was telling me on an away mission to Norom IV, right before I got shot by that Noromvian tribesman (that re- minds me -1 need to make sure I wear the red uniform shirt without the gaping gash in the chest to the party). He was telling us about how playing this charac- ter based on our dimension's Capt. Kirk had made him a fortune in royalties and licensing, above and beyond a salary. Ensign Mutton (God rest his soul, poor guy! He didn't make it off of Norom) and I laughed and laughed, because we really have no idea what he's talk- ing about But that doesn't stop Mr. Shatner. He's told us about his rise through the ranks of the entertainment busi- See SHATNER page 8 ness, how he was once a young, hun- gry, poor Canadian actor in Hollywood. Mr. Shatner just scoffs it away, smiling a winning, twinkly smile. He practically beams when discussing some TV show called Star Trek, in which he starred as our beloved captain. At first glance, I had problems be- lieving that Shatner could have ever acted as Kirk, what with the toupee and girdle he has to wear to fit into the clothing we gave him. However, he assured me over Saurian brandies (he paid!) that in his youth, he could've fought Mr. Spock to a standstill dur- ing the pon farr ritual. "Or let the stuntman do it he laughs heartily, punching me in the arm. I smile, though I have no clue what he's referring to. When I related this story to Mr. Spock in passing, the Vulcan raised an eyebrow and looked perturbed (even though I know that wasn't possible - he is a Vulcan). If you ask other officers whether they like having Mr. Shatner on the ship, as 1 did, you'll find a variety of answers. Mr. Scott seems to enjoy Shatner's company - the two go drink- ing and carousing almost every night Dr. McCoy's response was a gruff, "Wonderful! Now there's TWO of 'em to deal with I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not Lt Uhura seemed very happy with Shatner's company until he asked her if he could play with her Tribbles.

For those of you who are considering travel as an option, Europe on 84 Cents a Day" by Gil White might bear looking into. Since students often aren't able to travel with the luxury of ample funding, this is a good resource for them. On the whole, traveling as a poor per&n may be the best way to do it; the poor traveler often finds more op- portunities to become acquainted with native peoples because of the freedom heshe has in not being in- sulated from real people and day-to- day life by deluxe hotel room walls. White includes stories of his own and others' colorful travel experi- ences, and these serve to excite and encourage the reader. However, he also devotes a couple of pages to ex- plain that a successful traveler must have a good attitude and be resource- ful. Traveling the White way is not for sissies. If you don't like camping, can't deal with the stress of living hand-to- mouth and don't have much physical stamina, this book will be a waste of your money. Maybe you should start saving and go on a cruise instead. However, I'm sure that traveling the White way would provide you with more interesting stories to tell when you get home. Hitch-hiking advice is given, as well as accounts of the author's per- sonal experiences with this subject White provides a graph chart which rates countries by the hospitality of drivers.

Hall Staff Writer From a small town in Idaho comes an explosive band in the form of ShovelJerk and their big major-label debut, Swarm. The quartet believes that their alterna- tive sound is a reflection of their environment. Whatever the label, it's a sound we've heard before. Swarm starts off with an up- beat groove called "Easy Target In this song, vocalistguitarist Paul Hemenway talks of how ashamed he is of this world. His lyrics claim that no one cares. Maybe what this guy needs is a pat on the back. There's nothing we need more than another cynic to fill up the air- waves, right? Judging by Hemenway's lyrics in "Summer it seems he may also be a bit sacrilegious.

He, Yeoman Rand, and a few of the other junior officers have taken to following Shatner around the ship like devoted puppies, making him relate story after story to them. At one point or so I heard, Shatner wheeled around to face them, shouting "Get a life, would you people?!?" He then started laughing and clapped Chekov on the back. No one is sure what this means. As for the captain and Shatner - what a pair those two are! They try to keep their "escapades" a secret, but most of the Enterprise's crew knows about the captain's libido. For a guy in his mid60s, Mr. Shatner can still keep up with Kirk, which is really scary. I wonder how long it takes him to get out of that truss and girdle. Anyway, Capt Kirk seems to love Shatner's little stories, and is constantly trying to match them with some of his own. Whew! The one about the Orion slave girls is too racy for me to feel comfort- able entering it into this log. There are some of Shatner's sto- ries that don't quite ring true, and those make me wonder. I don't believe that he was a world-famous music star, with such hits as "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" or "Mr. Tamborine Man I have a real problem believing a movie called "Kingdom of the Spiders" won nine Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Director for Mr. Shatner. I can't believe that people would pay money to hear him tell these stories we are getting for free. Mr. Spock says to indulge him, however, since he is a guest on board and it's his birthday. 1 have to cut this log entry short Mr. Shatner's birthday party is start- ing soon, and I'd like to get to the Officer's Club in time for Yeoman Rand's interpretation of the Marilyn Monroe classic, "Happy Birthday Maybe we can all get Shatner to tell us the one about how he played a hooker cop in Los Angeles and won eleven Emmy awards.

Fellow students, alumni, fans, and athletes all feel the excitement when our powerful sound, precision,and confidence combine in challenging musical and visual pre- sentations. This Fall promises to be a great season for the ECU Marching Pirates with performances at each home game, two nationally-televised ESPN games, exhibition performances in Virginia and North Carolina, a chance to attend the Liberty Bowl in Memphis,Tennessee for the third year in a row, and the highlight of the season: the ECU vs. North Carolina State University game in Panther Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Whatever your band instrument of section, whatever your college major, we have a place for you! Our membership of over 200 musicians and color guard mem- bers makes us the largest student organization on campus, yet the Marching Pirates offer new members the chance to quickly become a part of a community of friends within our large university. Among band members, shared times and shared challenges forge lifetime friendships. Upperclassmen and band staff offer advice and encouragement you'll appreciate. Participation in a university marching band is much different than most high school bands. Students of all ability levels from many different backgrounds partici- pate. Since it is mot necessary to be a music major to be in the band, this diverse group of students represents a wide variety of degree plans from throughout the University. Regardless of your major, you will receive one hour of academic credit for participation in band. During the semester the band rehearses Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.mand there are no extra required rehearsals or sectionals. As a mem- ber of the Marching Pirates you will still have plenty of time to study, and you can still participate in other student organizations such as academic honor societies, intramural sports, ROTC, fraternities and sororities, and many others. In recent years the band has travelled to games at Duke, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech, and has also performed at the 1994 and 1995 Liberty Bowls in Memphis, TN on New Year's Eve. All of this travel was expense paid! There is no funding, and when the band travels transportation, meals and lodging are provid- ed. The 1996 season will begin with "band camp All percussionists and color guard members will audition and begin sectionals Thursday, August 15. Brass and woodwind players will audition for part placement and begin rehearsals Friday, August 16. Auditions are very casual, and the audition materials are mailed in mid June.

Really, ShoveUerk has done nothing out of the ordinary. Can you name an artist who has not been inspired by another? 1 can't! Even Hendrix had influ- ences that turned him onto differ- ent directions. Influence and change are good things, and my advice to this band would be to change their direction. Although I am very impressed with their talent thus far, I just feel that they could be so much more. Their music is good, and it will sell records. Selling record: of course, is the whole point of recording them. But how many musiciaps get to record something that they love and make money off it, too? Maybe this is the music that they love and are very proud doing it. But some- how, 1 don t think so. This stuff sounds too pre-packaged. It's like they designed it to make the most money possible. Whatever the case may be, the band has potential. With hard work and a good following, you could be seeing a lot of ShoveUerk in the days to come. Capricorn Records must have seen a good investment in this band. The only question is, can any- body else?

"There are lots of African American compos- ers with something to say and it's said beautifully. The music needs to be heard and I feel that it's important for me to present this because I am an African American she said. Hilda Harris grew up in nearby Warrenton, N.C. Although she sang a lot when she was young and always involved herself with music, she didn't know of the technical aspects to voice. "After college I was encouraged to go to New York and I realized that my voice wasn't ready to sing profession- airy she said. "I studied privately with a woman who was so encouraging, simply an angel, who helped me de- fine my voice. I then realized that I was a mezzo-soprano After lots of hard work, Harris reached Broadway and performed in shows like Mame and Golden Boy. Although she learned stamina per- forming eight shows a week, her goal was to be a classical singsr. "I think the highlight of my ca- reer would've been making a debut at the Metropolitan Opera House she remembered. "I felt very comfortable on stage and the opera, Lulu, was one I had sung before, although in Ital- ian. Music schools require the study of Italian, German and French Harris does believe that the arts have been suffering in America, espe- cially lately. "The Europeans seem to have more knowledge of opera and are more familiar with it. Because opera is usually performed in a for- eign language, American students don't always believe it's a part of their culture. But now that there are trans- lations in the opera houses, hopefully that will change she said. Now that her 25-year career is calming down, Harris is striving to be a better teacher, always helping as much as possible. "I still take a voice lesson every now and then because I demonstrate a lot in my classes and there's always something else to be learned. "The voice goes through every emotion Harris said. "If it's your goal to be a singer, go for it It does take a lot of work and sacrifice, so it has to be a burning desire. You are con- stantly reinvesting in your craft and even after you're a professional, al- ways remember that you never stop learning $up�r-CJVciire Trivia Quix This week's topic: Sci - Fi Movie Names l.Pete, Georgie and Dim. 2.

The Lady Pirates won big against Charleston Southern on Tuesday, win- ning 10-0 and 8-0 in the double header. This puts ECU at 4-0 in the Big South Conference (19-12-1 over- all), keeping their unbeaten mark in- tact "We hit the ball well Head Coach Sue Manahan said. "We played to our potential today ECU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning in the first game as outfielder Amy Hooks (Virginia Beach, Va.), who drew a walk, scored on a Rhonda Rost (Richmond, Va.) bunt The ladies would later capi- talize on two errors in the third in- ning, scoring three more runs. Jami Bendle, 7-7 on the year (2-0 in the Big South), threw five innings, giving up two hits and striking out two. Rost went two-for-two with a double in the contest driving in four RBI's. In the second game, ECU shut out the Lady Bucs after going six in- nings. Trade Podratsky (Centerville, Va.), upped her record to 6-1 (1-0 in the Big South) giving up only two hits. Senior catcher Mary Dunlap (Phenix, Va.) got on base three times in three at-bats while teammate Heather Smith (Glen Bumie, Md.) reached base twice in three at-bats, scoring both times. ECU was coming off of a heart- breaking loss to Ball State in the fi- nals of the 1996 Hampton InnLady Pirate Classic which took place last weekend. Ball State (12-6) beat the Lady Pirates 4-2 in the championship game. "Overall, we did really well sophomore pitcher Christi Da- s said. "It was a tough game. Ball State is a tough team, but we stayed strong and focused Photo by MICHELE AMICK Sophomore Christi Davis, last season's second leading pitcher, throws a pitch out against Charleston Southern. ECU won easily over Kent Uni- versity in the first round game 6-3, and went on to beat the Golden Grif- fins of Canisius 4-2 before falling to Ball State. The loss left a sour taste in the mouths of the Lady Pirates, who took out their frustrations on Charleston Southern. "Wt're on the right road Davis said. "I feel we're doing great and we're really strong Davis was voted honorable men- tion for Conference Pitcher of the Week for the week of March 5, and pitched a no-hitter earlier this year against Eastern Michigan. Junior outfielder Tonya Oxendine and freshman outfield sensation Amy Hooks were named to the All-Tourna- ment Team for their performances in the Lady Pirate Classic, which in- cluded two home runs from each of them. The team is loaded with talent and leadership, having lost only two seniors from last year's squad. "Experience has brought this team together Davis said.

Mike Myers, a two year mem- ber of the ECU team, has been play- ing rugby for a total of eight years. While in the army he was on the All-Army team and the U.S. Com- � bine Service "We have been doing pretty well, and we did well in the tournament" � Mike Myers team went on to dominate the rest of its divi- sion in the 18th Annual St. Patrick's Day Rugby Tourna- ment in Savan- nah, Georgia. The first mmmm��� match which began at 9 a.m. Fri- day, March 15, saw ECU lose to UT 10-14. ECU came out sluggish al- lowing UT to score on a throw in from five meters out during the first three minutes of the match. The Pirates awoke from this, dominating the play during the rest of the match. Sloppy play in the back line, missed kicks and penal- ties allowed the Vols to convert three penalty kicks giving them the win. ECU missed its first chance to score by missing a penalty kick Team that plays other teams around the world. Myers knows good teams and tough competition when he sees it. "We have mtimmemmi!mmx eeri doing pretty well, and we did well in the tournament Myers said. Byron Sullivan, a four year member of the team, noted that ECU had got off the van shortly before their first game, not giving them much time to -ecover from a long trip. "We had just stepped off the van Sullivan said.

The conversion kick was missed, leaving the Pirates trailing 5-11 at the end of the first half. The second half saw the same ECU dominance as they remained on UT's side of the field, but the same mistakes lingered with the team. Rookie, Morgan Gwynn-Will- iams, scored across the try line, but against the conversion was missed. As time ran out ECU could not get the ball across the try line. This loss allowed the team to finish no better than fourth place because they were put in losing brackets for their next two games. "We just weren't up to par Sullivan said. In their next match, Allan Tarczynski, who had not played in the first match, set the tone by mak- ing a 50-yd. penalty kick. Aggres- sive tacking, rucking and a more controlled game gave the Pirates the easy victory over the University of Tennessee - Chattanooga, 48-0. See RUGBY page 12 Most ECU students spent last weekend dodging the wind and cold in Greenville. However, the members of the 19 Pirate men's track team spent it basking in the glow of the warm Kingston, Jamaica sunshine and their success at the 19-team Jamaica Relays. The 4 x 100-meter relay squad, in its first race of the 1996 outdoor sea- son, posted a time of 40:43, ranking third behind the University of Okla- homa (40:12) and Clemson University (40:35). Juniors Lewis Harris and Brian Johnson, as well as freshmen Chris Rey and Damon Davis comprised tire ECU 100-meter relay squad. "We got off and ran well, but we drew lane eight ECU men's track Coach Bill Carson said. "The third leg of the relay is greatly hindered in that lane "Clemson and Oklahoma were in lanes three and four and could run off of each other. 1 really feel that if we were right up against them we could have done even better In the 4 x 400-meter relay, the Pirates (3:08.46) finished fourth behind Oklahpma (3:03.76), Clemson (3:06.70) and the University of Miami (3:07.76). However, Johnson, Davis, freshman Michael Miller and junior Dwight Henry combined to post ECU's best time of the season, shaving over two seconds off the squad's previous low time of 3:10.60, set in Kentucky on Feb. 3. "Brian didn't lead off as well as we would have liked Carson said. "Damon and Mike ran well - but ran out of gas "Dwight ran a 46.4 (in the anchor leg), but when you have a bad ladoff you are going to get beat" In the individual events, freshmen Vaughn Monroe, a former TEC Athlete of the Week, and Chris Rey finished back-to-back in the 100-meter dash, earning fifth and sixth place, respec- tively. Monroe posted a 1996 team and individual best time of 10.89 seconds, edging out Rey, who came in at 10.90. "Vaughn got out really good but started to fade away near the end Carson said. "Chris got out slow but ran back into the race Also on Saturday, other members of the ECU track team competed in the UNC-W Invitational in Wilmington, N.C. The 1995 CAA Most Valuable Ath- lete Chris McKinney (47'06.50") led the Pirates with a third-place finish in the triple jump. Junior Artee Franklin (51.90) finished 27th in the men's 400- meter dash, while Chris Pressley took 18th in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.42. Throughout the outdoor season, ECU will continue to rely on their strengths in both relays and the indi- vidual short sprints. To find further success in 19, the Pirates will have Chris Rey to avoid the injury bug and continue to mature as a team. "Lewis Harris and Ar'tee are two of our most experienced athletes ECU assistant track Coach Kemal Atkins said. "If they can stay healthy we should do very well All in all, Saturday's meets marked a positive beginning to the 19 out- door season. ECU returns to the track on Saturday, March 23, when the Pi- rates will participate in the UNC Five- Team Meet, along with ML St Mary's, Appalachian State, North Carolina A&T and the Tarheels.

SID - The ECU men's soccer program has signed 14 new recruits, Head Coach Will Wiberg an- nounced Tuesday. The list of new Pirates includes 12 players from N.C. and features five all-state se- lections. "The new recruits are very fast and very strong Wiberg said. "They will have an immediate effect on this team. We will be a more competitive team next year The 1996 Pirate recruiting class features six midfielders, four forwards and four defenders. Lead- ing the way is Robbie Schwartz, a defender form East Mecklenburg HS in Charlotte. In 19, Schwartz was named to the all-state first team and was also the Southwestern Con- ference Player-of-the-year. Bryan Howard a forward from Apex HS in Apex, N.C, was also named to the all-state team (third team). Howard was the 1995 Tri- Six Conference Player-of-the-year and also led the conference in scor- ing. Wiberg describes him as a proven finisher and a goal scorer. Two midfielders from the fourth team all-state squad will also wear the purple and gold in the 19 seasoa Robert Hyatt (Jackson- ville,) and Ben Schnurr (Raleigh) come to ECU possessing quickness and strength. Hyatt was a 1995 All- Mideastern Conference sellction, while Schnurr garnered first team All- Cap 7 Conference honors, Brian Denoo, a fifth team all-state choice, is one of two members from Swansboro, to sign with the Pirates. The Swansboro HS squad led by Denoo (midfielder and Sean Hawley (stopper), won the state 1A2A championships in 19. Wiberg describes Hawley as an "offensive minded defenseman Despite never playing a collegiate soccer game, this year's Pirate recruit- ing class is certainly not without play- ing experience. Five newcomers played on the Raleigh Green Caps squad, an 8-1-77 select team. Along with Howard and Schnurr, Rodney Jones. Brian Tay- lor and Danny Vitale, also played on the select team. Jones, a midfielder from Sanderson HS in Raleigh is described by Wiberg as a "real catalyst who is an impact player Taylor also hails from Raleigh (Broughton HS), and is ex- pected to fill a number of needs for the Pirates in 19. Vitale, a forward from Leesville Road HS. is a goal scorer and also a strong defender. Wiberg notes that "he can play anywhere on the field and be productive Jones' teammate, Joe Matijow, also signed with the Pirates. Matijow, a midfielder, was named to the second team All-Cap 7 squad. He possesses great composure with the ball. Wiberg noted that even if four players sur- round him, he has the ability to keep the ball out of trouble without los- ing his cool. The Pirates will also welcome two out-of-state players to Greenville next season that will add size and speed to the Pirate lineup. Ben Brand, a defender from Cherry HiH, NJ. is a talented players who mea- sures 6"1' and weighs 180. Brand was an All-South Jersey fist team selection. Also signing with ECU is Brett Waxer. a sweeperdefender from East Meadow, NY comes to Greenville at6"l' and 175 pounds. Waxer played on the Empire State squad and was also named all- county in Long Island. Another Raleigh product is for- ward Andy Crawford.

Crawford is also a first team All-cap 7 member. A J. Gray, a forward from Jack- sonville, has also decided to make ECU his soccer home. Gray under- went major ligament knee surgery in November, but his recovery has been successful. He has a hard and accurate shot with either foot and is a goal scorer. . Wiberg is very excited about See SID page 12 � j 12 Thursday, March 21, 1996 The East Carolinian SID from page 11 the prospects that surround this year's recruiting class. He expects the Pirates to be much more competitive and hopes he has planted the seeds that will help the Pirate soccer program prosper. SID - The ECU Lady Pirates ten- nis team earned their first conference victory of the 1996 season with a 5-2 victory over UNC-W on Tuesday. ECU (6-3, 1-1) began the day by capturing the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 2 double. At No. 1, Ann SvaeRachel Cohen downed Jill MontgomeryWendy Kirp 8-1, and No. 2 seeded Allison DeBastianiChelsea Earnhardt defeated Jillian PertchKatie Brinkman 84. In singles, the Lady Pirates earned wins at the top four positions to seal the victory. At No. 1, Svae defeated Pertch 64, 6-1, while No. 2 seeded Cohen defeated Montgomery in straight sets 6-0,6-2. Senior De Bastiani defeated Brinkman 7-5,6-1 at No. 3, while fellow senior Earnhardt posted a win at No. 4 by edging Kirp 6-1,6-7, 7-6 The Lady Pirates will return to ac- tion on March 23, when they play Ameri- can at 9 a.m. in Washington D.C. and Georgetown at 1 p.m. RUBGY from page 11 Tarczynski led all scorers with two tries, five conversions and a pen- alty kick for 23 points. Other tires scored were by Sullivan, Stephen Flippin, Casey Branningan, Kevin Sellers and Matt Stewart. The pack play dominated the match and rookies contributed to helping earn this victory. Since no games were scheduled for Saturday, the team had a little free time to enjoy the sights of Sa- vannah. "The extracurricular activities such as the parade and River St. were something to behold player Steven Smith said. In their final match on Sunday, ECU once again shut out their op- ponent and went on to take home the fourth place trophy. ECU was pitted against the University of Wis- consin Madison and cruised to a 19- 0 victory. In the opening minutes of the match, Kendall Jones scored on a ball kicked ahead by John Hansborough. The conversion kick was made by Flippin and the Pi- rates led 7-0. Later on in the match, the dominating pack play allowed John Hogan to find himself alone in the try zone for another score. During the second half, a flamboyant aerial display allowed Mike Myers to score for ECU. ECU ended up with the highest total points (77) of any of the 48 teams in the tournament. The players were not pleased with the format of the tournament that allowed a team with no wins to play for third and for a team that only beat UTC 12-3 to play for the championship against UT. The Vols eventually went on to win the tour- nament. Their next match is this week- end in Columbia, S.C. against USC in the first round of the National Rugby Tournament. If they win this game, they will move on the Final Four NCAA Rugby Tournament in Charlotte in the south bracket. If they win the south bracket they will move onto the east bracket and con- tinue their quest for a national title. . � � � Dress tip like your favorite actor or actress or just be yourself and join the ECU Student 1 nion in celebrating the 68th Annual Academy Awards Monday, March 25th at 9:00 PM � Mcndenhall Student Center - TV Lounge FOOD!
