(AP) - An Onslow County mother has pleaded guilty to voluntary man- slaughter in the death of her 18- month-old child, her second convic- tion on charges of abusing her chil- dren. Latashia M. Watson accepted a plea bargain Tuesday in Onslow County Superior Court just before a jury was to begin hearing open- ing statements on whether she com- mitted second-degree murder. Judge James R. Strickland sentenced Ms. Watson to between three and 4 12 years in prison. On March 31 last year, Onslow rescue workers responded to a call that Darien Jenkins had stopped breathing. His mother had been seen carrying the child from another home earlier, and doctors later de- termined, based on the child's body temperature, that the child had been dead about six hours. WASHINGTON (AP) - An anti- smoking group is asking the govern- ment to block test marketing of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Cos smokeless cigarette, Eclipse, calling it a "nico- tine delivery device Eclipse is RJR's long-promised cigarette that heats tobacco instead of burning it, thus eliminating 90 percent of the secondhand smoke of traditional cigarettes. It also pro- duces no lingering odor and is less likely to start a fire if dropped, RJR said. Around the Country EAST RUTHERFORD. N J.

Election Committee: Expressions tops in region A - Sf No new election Around the State Tambra Zion Editor ECU's Election Committee, made up of 19 poll takers, chair and vice chair of the elections committee, met at 6 p.m. last night in Mendenhall to hear candidates' complaints. Student Government Association (SGA) Speaker Harry Bray announced that two complaints had been filed for the committee to review. Sixteen mem- bers of the committee were present, as well as SGA Attorney General Dawn Woodard. In a Monday, April 8th meeting with Dean of Students Ron Speier and election candidates, the time for filing complaints had been extended, but Bray said that was not an official meet- ing and therefore, the additional com- plaints filed against the election pro- cess by Secretarial candidate J. Miles Layton and Presidential candidate John Lynch would not be heard. Lynch's original complaint was the first to be heard. In addressing his complaint Lynch said he was unable to obtain a copy of the polling results, that there were "multiple problems at the polling places and that student IDs were not marked properly or at all. The commit- tee voted against all three counts and did not call for a new election. Lynch said he will appeal the decision today. "I definitely disagree Lynch said following the meeting. "That's why I plan to file a complaint to the review board tomorrow. My major disagree- ment is with their inability to hear my full complaint. "The official complaint that the Election Committee went through, the purpose of that was not to call for an- other election. That complaint was made to inform that problems were spotted in the election process. In a way, I understand why they voted no (to a new election), but that's not what I called for in the first complaint It's See SGA page 4 Out of the way!

The police department along with the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and Panhellenic Council are sponsoring a "Jail Bail" to raise funds for the Special Olympics. Students and faculty will be thrown in jail by a S.W.A.T team and will not be able to be released until a donation or "bail" is posted. Throughout the year the police department has participated in sev- eral fund-raising activities for the Special Olympics. Their goal is to raise $50,000. Dr. Ronald Speier, dean of stu- dents, supports the fundraising events. "I don't mind cooperating with the program Speier said. "This fund-raiser supports the Greeks on campus, the Greenville Police Depart- ment and the Special Olympics Speier said he believes that the Greeks supporting the Greenville Po- lice Department is a positive experi- ence for the university and the com- munity. "Greeks supporting the Greenville Police Department is a positive community service Speier said. "It is a worthwhile cause. I re- ally appreciate the Greeks participat- ing in this program. The money that will be raised will go to a local pro- gram. This really will give the Greeks positive visibility. I applaud their ef- forts Dr. Laura Sweet, assistant dean of students and panhellenic advisor See BAIL page 4 Club owner jailed in murder-for-hire scheme Amy L. Royster Staff Writer The part owner of a Greenville nightclub, fre- ouented by students, spent the weekend in jail charged with three counts to solicit murder and two counts to solicit maiming, before she posted bail Tuesday. According to Detective John Teal, of the Greenville Police Department, (the Greenville Police Report was not available by press time) Brenda Malaguti, partial owner of the Texas Two Step, located on N. Green St was arrested Saturday. Malaguti was charged with soliciting to hire some- one to murder or maim her former stepson Frank Fleming of 1000 E. 10th St. and former business as- sociate Dwight Lee McLeod of 610 Cotanche St. Detective Teal said that Malaguti was released on a $105,000 bond Tuesday. Detective Teal said that the Greenville Police De- Hootie! Hootie! Hootiepage Montana, a haven for terroristspage O partment began investigating Malaguti after the per- son she allegedly solicited to hire came forward and spoke to the police. "One of the victims who was threatened came to us and felt that his life was in danger Teal said. "A person she solicited also came to the police The investigation was kept out of the media un- til the investigating officers had established a case. "It (the investigation) was pretty standard for the type of complaint being investigated Teal said. "You want to get a grip on the facts before it is a large public item According to Teal, the investigation lasted approxi- mately six to eight weeks before Malaguti's arrest. Teal said that before Malaguti contacted her at- torneys Saturday, she made a brief statement to the police in which she denied all allegations. Detective Teal said that in two to three weeks.

Dr. James Westmoreland, director of career services, said these organiza- tions will have information that will directly or indirectly affect your career choices. "The Expo will allow students to be informed about the career search and development" Westmoreland said.

Taken from official ECU police reports. Sharon Franklin Staff Writer This ECU drama student worked with Julia Roberts, Andy Griffith, Keith Carradine among others in some of the country's most popular television shows and films before re- turning to campus this past fall. Hoisting a gargantuan bookbag onto the desk while brushing pale wisps of hair from her brilliant blue eyes, the small, sturdy student sighed and said, " This terrifies me. I don't know why anyone would be inter- ested in me A Carteret County native, Brinley Vickers, always wanted to act Beginning at age six, she performed regularly in local and school produc- tions. She enjoyed both science and acting in high school. When the 17 year oM freshman arrived at ECU in 1984, pressure from her parents to "use your brain and have a career resulted in her decision to major in physics. "If I'd stayed in science, I could have gotten out and made $50,000 a year, " Vickers said. "That was very appealing to my parents when com- pared to my 'pounding the pave- ments' for a commercial For two years, Vickers concen- trated on her studies and for the first time since she was six, was not in- volved in the theater at all. She missed the opportunity to be creative and tried out for a campus produc- tion. "I got the part and loved it Vickers said. "After working at other things, I knew this was what would keep me stable For another year and a half, Vickers continued to pursue her sci- ence degree while also performing in various theatrics. Deciding finally to study acting full-time, the 21 yr. old Vickers interviewed for the profes- sional acting program and was ac- cepted. "I never stopped working Vickers said. "It was back-to-back shows. I felt fortunate to be working on the shows I did. Don Biehn (ECU professional acting program instruc- tor) was instrumental in getting me to trust myself. I got a lot of oppor- tunities in school, and I was in great shape Citing the constant struggle to earn enough money to pay the bills while attending classes full-time and spending most evenings in rehears- als, Vickers eventually dropped out of the acting program. "Money was always a problem Vickers said. "1 had to work full-time. You can't just go to class. You've got to be available for workshops and re- hearsals too. I couldn't work that hard and be fully committed to the acting. After a while, I'd lost my life Settling in Wilmington, a town known for its strong acting commu- nity, Vickers' goal was to perform at historic Thalian Hall. But with debts to pay, she became manager of a res- taurant. Though she enjoyed the chal- lenges of her job immensely, after two years away from the stage, de- pression set in. "I was a basket case without a creative outlet Vickers said. "I quit my job and in 3 days I got an agent, head shots and the lead in a mainstage production at Thalian Hall with a professional acting company. It was like winning the lottery Her first professional job made her realize how college had spoiled her. Instead of just acting her role, she was now expected to help with publicity, scenery and other facets of the production. "I 'd only studied acting before Vickers said. "This made me realize that the more you know about all as- pects of theater, the more hirable you are. I knew I needed to come back and learn the backstage stuff But the acting itself went well. "I was in great shape from my ECU days, and I got great roles Vickers said. "I'm not a natural though. I worked hard More and more television and film productions came to Wilmington and Vickers campaigned hard to win a chance to work in front of a cam- era. "I wrote letters to producers ask- ing them to see my shows Vickers said. "The supervising producer of Brinkley Arden Vickers Matlock came to see me as Shelby in Steel Magnolias and offered me a job Camera work differs from the stage and Vickers had to learn on the set. "I was terrified Vickers said I'd left school without taking those classes and I didn't know what I was doing. My first job was with Andy Griffith. I had always loved him, and now I was working with him.

"Where to go?what to do-the decisions again Vickers said. "Deal- ing with rejection-not knowing why you're rejected-they're all scary things After her acting career, Vickers plans to teach.

I gave Penn (Crawford, election chair) a suggested list of names that he asked for. No candidate should be able to pick their own poll tenders Both Lynch and Layton plan to appeal the decision. "Since the role of each candidate in this fraud, is yet to be fully under- stood, I ask that the filing period be reopeneu for a few days to allow new candidates to file.

Lynch's complaint was not avail- able, however, he said it would be filed today. Suggestions offered by the committe included scanning student IDs, hiring two poll takers for each site and changing the regulations to re- quire poll takers to verify identification.

He said this will all make ECU better, especially if we go out and represent ECU in an internship or sum- mer job. All students are invited to come out and greet the guests as well as visit and network with representatives from a variety of organizations. Westmoreland said students should dress to impress and thank the organizations for coming.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN'S T UOjE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1996 m t- Thursday, April 11,1996 The East Carolinian ? ofi The East Carolinian Tambra Zlon, Editor-in-Chief Crissy Parker, Advertising Director Celeste Wilson, Production Manager 4 Our View Corrupted with compromise and deceit, SGA elections only reemphasize our distrust in politics Look at the past and look toward the future. This year's SGA elections give truth to the saying that all politics are corrupt Someone is responsible for the negligent and unjust treat- ment given to every student who ever believed SGA runs by a democratic system. TEC wants to see justice. We want action against the students involved in this horrible mishap. There was obviously tampering with the March 27th elec- tions and our advice is to throw the book at the culprits. TEC can't do it all, we can't press charges against anyone. We can't even say who's responsible, but others can. It's all been talked about before, but we want to see something done. Stop talking and start moving. We looked up the numbers, we told you the truth, someone else has to pick up the ball. The rumor mill that runs rampant throughout SGA and this campus is tre- mendous. There are students who know the truth - stand up and let it be known. Speak out and identify who is wrong, who's playing dirty and who wants to make SGA clean in the future. If the people who know don't speak out, who will? Change the system. An outside organization, administrator or anyone who can be deemed as not having special interests of any kind should be appointed to watch this process that has been neglected and taken advantage df for who knows how many years. Look up the records (if you can find them) and see for yourself. In his election report, Election Chair Penn Crawford called for extra poll takers possibly just to keep an eye on the box. Who would appoint this person? Certainly someone other than those involved with SGA, we would hope. We can't do it all, and students are going to get pretty sick of hearing about this year's election after a few editions. Don't worry, we'll tell you what happens in the end, but when you look at SGA's past, change is hard to come by as far as regula- tions are concerned. Rules are broken everywhere. Who do the elections people have to answer to anyway? The members of their own organi- zation and otherwise, basically no one. Too many questions and intentions and not enough action are the problems. Every- one involved appears to be trying to find a timely solution, don't wait until it's too late. Make SGA work for everyone.

Montana is for militants Letters to the Editor Looking forward to the day that you will be able to afford to go to the Middle East and see international terrorism first hand? Do you have your kids dress up like suicide bomb- ers every year with little pretend sticks of dynamite stuffed their trench coats and trick-or-treat bags? Do believe that there is in fact a bib- lical reference to Molitoff Cocktails? Well, do we have the solution for you. Save your money and quit your dreaming there is just the place for you here in the good old U.S. of A. It's called Montana and as an added bonus we'll even throw in some Griz- zly bears. Montana has now become the hub for many of America's bright and up and coming militant dysfunctional members of society. There are two recent indications and examples of this. The first example is the siege in the plains of a complex occupied by a group calling themselves the Free- men. They are refusing to give up some of their members to federal law enforcement agents who wish to press charges on them for cheating on their taxes and counterfeiting. They are armed to the teeth and they aren't coming out. There has been some attempted negotiations, but at this point things are not going well. The feds are reluctant to do anything drastic because of the heat they have come under in recent times about the events at Ruby Ridge and near Waco, Texas a few years ago. It's amazing just how many groups that are armed to the teeth, are radical religious groups and are opposed to the gov- ernment, mee"t their demise in a gov- Chrls Arline Senior Opinion Cotumnltt ernment siege. The second example is the most notorious terrorist in American his- tory; the Unabomber. This man dis- appeared into the Rocky Mountains of western Montana 25 years ago. Since that time he has made prac- tice of sending mail bombs to people who are in high positions within the intelligence fields. He baffled federal law enforcement officials for a period spanning three decades as his work left three people dead and 22 people injured or maimed. They had checked into over 200 suspects and fielded over 20,000 calls to the Unabomber hotline (1-800-701-BOMB). The truth of the matter is that the only way that they got him was that he was turned in by his brother. There is one reason why Mon- tana is so lucrative to these people of less than traditional American beliefs: the space. There is plenty of it and with that comes the privacy they need to practice their lifestyles and not be interrupted or receive immediate opposition. If there are no neighbors to look over your fence and tell you what you are doing is wrong then why would you, to bor- row a lyric from Carlos Santana, change your evil ways. The people that are most hurt indirectly by what is going on are the other residents of the state. They stand to suffer in their back pock- ets. One state official speculates that the state stands to lose between $30- $40 million in tourist related tax rev- enues in the next two years as a re- sult of the negative publicity sur- rounding these two ordeals. Their biggest concern is that people will be afraid to go there. Hey, why not make the nut cases a featured attraction. If my dog had two heads you'd better be- lieve I'd charge people to see him. It's not hurting anyone to show them off and if they truly believe that their actions, practices and beliefs are good then they won't be too embarrassed to show them off freely as long as we don't make them change anything. I would like to announce my can- didacy for the position of the state of Montana's tourism director. Hey, I've even got some slogans ready to go already. How about "Come to Mon- tana, we've got the biggest and flaki- est nuts in the nation" or "Come visit Montana, there is plenty of fresh clean air, it has all the comforts of home, and the terrorists speak En- glish Just remember to bring your Visa card because they don't take militant Christian militias lightly and they don't take American Express. Football gives the name To the Editor, I was intrigued by the article you ran last week regarding the raise head football coach Steve Logan has received. Personally, I feel that coach Logan deserves such a reward for his hard work and unfailing loyalty to our university. Without football, the athletic department would be unable to fund many of the sports that do not generate revenue. The football program is also responsible for be- ing ambassadors for our university to those who know nothing of East Carolina except for what they see of our football team. For many people, the only reason they recognize the name of East Carolina is the success- ful record we possess. Football also generates an unexplainable energy on campus by promoting unity and providing a common interest between all students. Not only are students excited by the football program, but alumni have also enjoyed the contin- ued success of Steve Logan and his Pirates. Nothing can stimulate alumni gifts to our university more than a winning team. Coach Logan has not only worked hard, but he has brought overwhelming results to the East Carolina football program. Com- ing off of a season with a 9-3 record and a Liberty Bowl victory, not to mention one of the finest incoming recruiting classes in East Carolina football history; coach Logan de- serves this reward. I applaud this university's administration for hav- ing the good sense to recognize the need to have a successful athletic program and to act on their recogni- tion of such a need Sincerely, Chuck Southerland Support is necessary To the Editor, In the Tuesday, March 26, 1996 paper, the article "Student health offers rape counseling was a very serious matter. If s nice to have rape kits handy on campus for students so they won't have to go elsewhere. It's good that the health educators speak about their ser- vices so any one who has problems will not be ashamed to be seen. I'm sure they are not the only person that if s happened to. If s also nice for victims of rape to have support of health educators and nurses. To have a nurse and someone else take a victim to the hospital shows much respect and is a great idea. Thanks. Amy Taylor How about an award instead? To the Editor, This letter is in response to the article about ECU head football coach Steve Logan. I don't think that there are a lot of people who would disagree with Coach Logan's raise. After all, we all know how well the Pirates played last season and in the Liberty Bowl. The issue left to debate is the amount of money he is making. I thought that $97,300 was a lot to begin with, now he's making $107, 030. The idea of a raise is nice, to show rec- ognition for an outstanding perfor- mance. But it's not like Logan is strapped for cash $97, 300 is a whole lot of money to make, espe- cially in a small town like Greenville. Maybe they should have saved a little money and just given the guy an award. Sincerely, Grant Zauner Letters to the Editor Give teachers credit Parking is a problem To the Editor, Parking is a big problem for all students. I must agree with the article entitled "$96 buys a Hunting Li- cense Ms. Eaton brought out a very important point about space. The university keeps growing and it seems like the studentsSc parking spaces are the first ones to go. The parking lot by Allied Health has already been cut due to the new staff parking lot that is being implemented. With such inadequate space one would think that the price would be reduced. Afterall what is the increase of the 26 extra dollars going for anyway? Some- thing seriously needs to be done about this problem. Parking and Traffic ser- vices needs to step back and assess the situation and come up with a so- lution that will benefit the students as well as themselves. Hope Pfeil freshman To the Editor, I am writing in response to the recent article, "Coach's Raise Final- ized" in the April 2nd issue. In some ways I support the idea of giving the coach a raise for an ex- cellent job he has done in training the team for their accomplishments they have made this year. Winning the Liberty Bowl and maintaining a 9-3 record took hard work for the coach as well as the team. I applaud their effort. A job well done Pirates! But now let's face the facts of this issue. A lot of money and atten- tion is already focused toward the athletic department in the first place. I agree with sophomore Kristen Cocca and junior Christie Wade. Many people are forgetting the pri- mary reason why we are all here, and I believe that more emphasis should be put on the instructors and profes- sors. These individuals are teaching doctors, lawyers, engineers and ev- ery occupation and professional ca- reer that exists. What good is a coach going to do for a pre-med student trying to study medicine, or an ath- lete who cannot excel in the aca- demic department? I think instruc- tors and professors deserve to make more than Coach Logan, rather than having the coach making more than three or four of the instructor sala- ries combined. Since this proposal has already gone through, and our opinions are just words on paper, I think the next step would be a proposal on raising instructor and professor salaries without raising tuition for students!

Kevin Chaisson Senior Writer I had just begun to write my re- view of the new FOX show Kindred: ; The Embraced when 1 saw the vampire at the window. 1 hadn't even noticed him coming inside, but there he was and in he came. He was a lanky fellow, clad all in black but for a brightly-colored They Might ?Be Giants T-shirt His face bore an ee- ' rie resemblance to River Phoenix. Dark eyes studied me underneath dark bangs while he sat on my window sill, knees clasped together with laced fingers the color of bone and feet on my bed.

As he moved, his features blurred subtly, better than any computer-generated effect I've ever tfceen. When he had finally settled, he ? was now a she, resembling Samantha Mathis this time. "How'd you do that?" She waved a lithe hand at me. "Haven't the time to discuss that This isn't an interview, after all. You're writ- ing the review of Kindred?" I nodded, gesturing at the blank computer screen. Her small face set grimly. "Precisely my reason for being here.

You see, it's 3 p.m. Tues- day afternoon and I've spent almost the entire day loading a band's equip- ment into the Attic. So what's the se- cret? I can't say it Wait just a minute, by the time anyone aside from my editor reads this article it won't be a secret anymore. And he detests the band playing, so what difference does it make? It will be Thsday morning and everyone will still be talking about my secret I can say it Hootie and the Blow- fish are playing at the Attic tonight Okay, I didn't say it I wrote it No one told me I couldn't write it Only a couple years ago, Hootie played in Greenville almost every week. One of my friends told me he used to walk by the New Deli (now Graffiti's), see the foursome inside and complain, "Hootie and the Blowfish again But as virtually everyone in the world knows by now, they're a big-time rock and roll band. They started off just like anyone else, though, playing anywhere that would have them. Then they progressively played larger gigs, like the N.C. State Delta Sigma Phi Lawn Party in the fall of 1994. They progressed to a few appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, then the Ritz in Raleigh and finally Rolling Stone covers, stadium dates and sell-out shows everywhere. There were four of us who showed up at the Attic at 11 a.m. to give the band a hand loading their gear into a club gig for those Blowfish.

They simply said, "just unload the equipment and don't worry about it" Most of the equipment cases had "Hootie" in huge letters painted on the side, though, so it really didn't take a degree in rocket science to figure it out But I still can't tell anyone. And even if I did, who would believe me? Hootie and the Blowfish at the Attic tonight? I might be accused of standing too close to an air conditioner unit that has a freon leak. But we'll just have to see how the show goes tonight Hopefully, it'll be better than the last time I saw them; the headline for the article I wrote on that show in February of 1995 read.

He knows how to pull readers into a scene like nobody's business. Opening one of his books guarantees that, at least once be- fore the evening's over, you'll find yourself with a clenched stomach, turning pages feverishly to find out what happens next but filled with a cold certainty that, whatever it is, it won't be pretty. The problem with King is that, while he can pull me into individual scenes, the stuff he puts in between the good parts generally bores me silly. Ultimately, I find myself more annoyed with his dysfunctional characters than sympathetic to their plight. By the end of a King novel, I'm usually rooting for evil. King works best when he's dealing with simple people in short pieces that don't give him time to pad the story with angst. Fortunately, King returns to this ground in his latest project, The Green Mile. A story about a death row cell block in the 1930s, this book is being published seri- ally. Once a month, King will re- lease a new chapter of this noirish prison tale, hoping that his fans will come back each time for their next fix. Personally, I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. Stick a "to be con- tinued" on something, and I'm hooked. So I'll probably be slapping down my three bucks every month to see this story through even though I'll end up paying a lot more for the serialized Green Mile than 1 would if it were a traditional novel. Of course, I'm probably getting a better story than I'd get in a regu- lar novel, too. The strict page limi- tations of the serial format is fore- g walks ing King to write fast and lean. The Green Mile is a tight story that thrills and sur- prises quickly and satisfyingly. It ain't art (not much of King's work is), but it's a rip-snorting good time anyway. The first chapter, titled "The Two Dead Girls is a quick evening's read, a slim 92-page vol- ume with large type. In it, King establishes the major players of his electric chair melodrama and leaves plenty of juicy plot threads dangling for serial junkies like myself to suck on until next time. Written with an obvious love for old pulp maga- zines and the work of Charles Dickens (who was himself often printed serially), The Green Mile is filled with great, ominously appro- priate names and broad characters. It's set at Cold Mountain Peniten- tiary, a gothically God-forsaken prison in an unspecified region of the American South. The "Green Mile" of the title refers to the lime- tiled corridor that leads to Cold Mountain's electric chair. Our narrator is the head guard of E Block, where prisoners des- tined for a visit with "Old Sparky" are kept. King names his mouth- piece in just one scene, and then we're only given his first name: Paul. I'm pretty sure there's some- thing Biblical going on there, but time will have to tell. Paul's fellow E Block guards are the vicious and ferret-like Percy Wetmore (Barney Fife gone horri- bly wrong), skinny but solid Harry Terwilliger, hulking nice guy etc X-Files open on video Hala UfllllulMAII Dale Williamson Senior Writer On Sept 10,1993, television received its first jolt of what was destined to become a cultural phenomenon. On this date, The X-Files crept its way onto Fox's Friday line-up and lifted television horrorsci-fi to a new artistic level. r. The X-Files not only provided feature film entertainment on a TV bud- get, it also tapped into our nation's fears of instability. In each episode, audiences faced such threats as government conspiracies, unexplained paranormal activities, freaks of nature and the possibility that we are not the only intelligent life in this universe. What The X-Files revealed to its cult audience more than two years ago was that the truth is out there, but that truth may be devastating to our human perceptions of reality. Since its initial airing, The X-Files has become a legitimate television hit It has spawned a consumer market unlike any- thing since the revival of Star Trek. Even though the shoWs creator, Chris Carter, is keeping a tight grip on what X-Files merchandise is available, he has recently given Fox Video per- mission to release episodes from the first season on video, which can be purchased at most any store that sells video tapes. So, for those of you who See X-FILES page 9 MJ? Art work provided by Signet Books Brutus Howell and bookish Dean Stockwell. If these characters sound cliched, it's probably because they are. But characters like these are the stock and trade of the kind of pulpy prison yarn King is spinning here. The terribly appropriate names are, likewise, straight out of Dickens. Groan if you like, but these guys all gave me a good laugh. Besides, I'm curious to see if King does anything with the ste- reotypes he's fleshed out here. As I said, time will tell. Time may also tell on the story. Though compelling so far, the sheer length of a serialized novel like this may lead King astray. I don't think so, though. Constant deadline pres- sure and the need to continually hook readers always spurred Dickens and many of the pulp writ- ers to keep their work fresh and See KING page 9 Ian Brennan Cheapskate Derek T. Hall Staff Writer Music is the only thing that some musicians can do. That's not quite the case here, though. By using nearly all of the in- come he makes working as a men- tal health specialist in the psychiat- ric emergency room for Oakland. California, Ian Brennan has pro- duced eight of his own records on his own label. Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say? Not only can Brennan cure the insane, he can entertain them as well. The music on Cheapskate is far from impressive but it has a mes- sage, whether positive or not. Brennan starts delivering that mes- sage with a track called "Master Plans This is a song, like every other on the disc, that speaks of the slums of life. Some people like to speak of the dark side. People need to! If we don't, how can we be so sure that it's there? Ian Brennan, who at the age of 5 started listening to Elvis Presley and began playing guitar, says he doesn't expect for his albums to amount to much. He would like to hit the road a few times and sell a few more records. It's odd that some- one with a life so complex would have the time to release eight records. That's a lot of music. Makes you wonder what type of material would be on those records. That's right, it's sick and twisted music to captivate your mind.

Particularly effective is a flashback sequence describing the rape and murder of the twin sisters of the title at the hands of John Coffey. Coffey, a mildly re- tarded E Block inmate who strangely fascinates the narrator, is the focal point of The Green Mile. As much as this seems to be Paul's story, Coffey is the center around which everything else here spins. All told, this is the best work King has cranked out in a long time. 1 have some problems with the voice King's given his narrator (one minute he sounds like a good old boy and the next he's talking about metaphoric language), but that's just a quibble. "The Two Dead Girls" reminds me that Stephen King can still tell a good story when he wants to. Call me a sucker, but that "to be continued" at the bottom of page 92 will be pulling me back for more.

The market for these tapes is going to mmmmmmmmm be die-hard X- Files fans who will want a com- plete collection, so skipping epi- sodes more than likely will only frustrate poten- tial consumers. Still, the collection is an excellent intro- duction to the show. Those who are more familiar with recent episodes of X-Files may be somewhat disappointed, though. The earlier episodes of the show have a quirkier feel to them and are a bit less moody than latter episodes. In essence, the show hadn't quite discovered itself yet Duchovny plays Mulder with a bit more sarcastic energy in these tapes than he does now, and there are more hints of sexual tension between Mulder and Scully. Anyone familiar with the show as' it is now knows that the chances of Mulder and Scully having a sexual affair are zilch and zero. It will never happen. But there is no denying the power of the'first season of The X-Files. "Con- duit" is particularly engaging because it delves into Mulder's obsession with finding his sister, who may have been abducted by aliens when he was a child. A scene where Scully's report to the FBI overlaps the visual of Mulder cry- ing in a church- as he struggles with his anguish is as powerful and as well done as any- thing you can find on the big screen. 1 will give a warning to all new viewers, though. Be sure to fast forward through Chris Carter's opening remarks on the show and watch it after you've viewed the episodes. As insightful and enjoy- able as his commentary is, it should have been placed at the end of the tape. Carter gives too much away before the episode runs. As far as I'm concerned. The X-Files is reason enough to spend a quiet evening at home on Friday nights. It ranks with the best shows airing now, including ER and the underrated Ho- micide. Hopefully, The X-Files will en- joy a long, healthy life. And, hopefully, Chris Carter and Fox Video will be in spired to release more video tapes of a show that has helped make television wortn watching again.

Kate Vernon, whose vampire character unfortunately dies in the series opener, was my favorite. I kinda have hopes she'll come back. Jeff Kober, who was so great as the weird-looking guy on China Beach, is here playing a weird- looking Nosferatu clan leader. Stacy Haiduk (from Seaquesi DSV) playing the sexy leader of the Toreadors "Stop there the vampire snapped, narrowing her large, dark eyes. "You just named two of the major problems. Haiduk is no Toreador leader. She's more of a whiny tart Vernon would've made an excellent clan leader - beauti- ful, strong and independent Killing her character was a dreadful mistake. "Kober, on the other hand, has the opportunity to play a representative of one of the more interesting vampire clans, but he's rather wooden. A future plotline seems to indicate an 'unrequited love' story for the Nosferatu, which is vomitous. Do you humans think that all we do is sit around, listening to Morrissey and Bauhaus, wishing we could love a human just one more time? Rubbish! "This brings me to'my final point about the show, which you can take or leave. A series with such a strong hor- ror element must establish a tone, a mood that envelopes you within the show and refuses to release you. The X- Files does this with film-quality effects and lighting, as well as powerful uses of dark and light to establish a scene. "This is something that Kindred is sorely lacking. This is a series about vampires. Why does everyone seem to walk around in brightly lit areas? Kober's Nosferatu, if darkly shadowed and lit could have established a won- derful mood for both the character and series. Proper lighting could allow for more horrific violence; violence locked in shadow, obscured and made more frightening by the viewer's own mind. Kindred The Embraced has wonder- ful potential, most of which is being misused. Still, it is worlds above the normal television fodder I nodded in agreement laying the notepad down to stretch. When I had opened my eyes, the vampire was gone, leaving only the rustle of window blinds. I stood, closed the window, put some They Might Be Giants on the stereo, and began to write this review. On a scale of one to 10, Kindred The Embraced rates a hopeful seven. HOOTIE from page 7 a handful of people who knew this show would happen. But by now, the phone has been ringing off the hook and fans have already lined up in force, five or six abreast outside the door. Anywhere there was room for one person to stand, three people were in that spot Tuesday, April 9.11:45 p.m. Hootie and the Blowfish stepped onto the stage with two additional band members accompanying them. They've added both a keyboard player and an additional percussionist since they have reached super-rock star status. Darius Rucker, Hootie frontman, explained to the raging crowd that the band has finished recording their new album and they'd rather "play the clubs they used to play and try out some new material than sit around in a warehouse and rehearse The band mixed up their set evenly with new songs and older ones off of their chart-topping full-length debut Cracked Rear View and their first EP Kootchypop. During the band's two hour set crowd favorites were certainly "Drowning "Hannah Jane" and of course "Hold my Hand However, the most explosive song they performed was the Doobie Broth- ers classic "Without Love Hootie is not known as an improvisational act but they dispelled this belief during "Without Love After the first verse, the band gravitated into some verses from Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" then into the Third Bass cut "Cactus" and finally a little De La Soul rounded out the Doobie classic. They rehearsed parts of this song during soundcheck but certainly didn't nail it the way they did during the show. Currently, Hootie and Blowfish are on their Who says we don't play clubs anymore?" tour. They're playing a hec- tic one week schedule of dates in Co- lumbia, Myrtle Beach, Winston-Salem, Greenville and Wilmington. AIL club dates. After this short Carolina dub tout, the guys are headed on a hugertfiuro- pean tour. Hootie and Blowfish have tried to keep each of these shows as quiet as possible and keep the shows from be- ing publicized until the last minute. Yes, on each of these dates it's a secret I just hope whoever handles the secrets in the other towns does a better job of keeping them than 1 did.

Sophomore Hometown: Goidsboro, North Carolina Major&ompcker Science '95 records: Broke the ail-time ECU freshman record for triples in a season For some Division I athletes, their respective sport seems more like a job rather than an enjoyment This is all but true when you describe Athlete of the Week Randy Rigsby and his love and respect for the sport of baseball. This sophomore first baseman hails from nearby Goidsboro, N.C. and could be labeled as one of the local talents that Head Coach Gary Overton is so prone to find while recruiting for his program. Despite his youth, Rigsby has made some of the biggest contributions to his team in the two years he has been with the Pirates, and could be described as a leader. "Although Randy is a very quiet person, he is still a leader on this team Overton said. "Randy is a player that leads by example, he doesn't verbalize, he just leads by ex- ample Rigsby stepped in last season as a true freshman and played 52 games for the Bucs breaking the team record for doubles hit by a freshman in a single season. Rigsby added 12 sto- len bases to his stats as well as main- taining a spot in the top three on the team for doubles hit in a season. "I came into the program expect- ing to face a lot better pitching than I was used to in high school Rigsby said. The transition from high school ball to college, usually a tough one to make for a Division 1 freshman, was relatively smooth according to his stats as well as his coaching staff. "Randy is a very smart ballplayer and he has a lot of tools that makes a good baseball player Overton said. "It didn't take Randy long to adjust to his surroundings which is a credit to him as a ballplayer as well as a per- son Rigsby was one of the many youngsters that had to grow up fast on a young ball club that had only a handful of upperclassman. "We had a lot of young guys last season and I know I struggled, but the experience helped me prepare for this season Rigsby said. Practice has made perfect as Rigsby just last weekend in a victory over George Mason going 4-6 with three doubles to lead the Pirates to a 12-2 romp of the Pats. Rigsby's out- standing outing in Fairfax shouldn't go down as a rarity. Rigsby has im- proved from last season and has be- come a workhorse at the plate for the Pirates. "Oh I can see improvements in my hitting this season Rigsby said. "A lot of credit goes to my experience last season The smaller first baseman has not only done it for the Bucs at the plate, but he has been an asset on the bag as well. "Randy is small, but he makes it up with his speed and agility which makes him into a excellent defensive first baseman Overton said. "Well, being smaller is a disad- vantage but I try to use above aver- age speed to make up for it Rigsby said. The use of his talents may land Rigsby a spot in his dream to play professional baseball. "I guess it's every ballplayer's dream to play in the bigs, but if that doesn't pan out I'll fall back on my major, computer science Rigsby said. I got it! Two fellow Pirates go up for the catch in last week's PurpleGold game. The Purple squad got the bragging rights this year, winning 20-14. Photo by PATRICK IRELAN ECU's SPORTS INFORMATION D SID - Alphons van Ierland. regarded as one of the ton junior basketball prospects in his country of the Netherlands, has signed a national letter-of-intent with ECU, according to an announcement by Pirates' Head Coach Joe Dooley. Van Ierland, a 7-0, 210-pound center, is a native of Tilberg, Netherlands. He has been a member of the Dutch 22-and-under National Team the past two years and is considered an excellent candidate to make the Netherlands Olympic Team four years from now. During the past two seasons, van Ierland has played for a club team called "America Today" in Hertrenbosch. Netherlands. He is currently averaging 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4.5 blocks for his team Softball team wins big over UNCW Seahawks Will Sutton Staff Writer whose season is still in progress. Van Ierland, whose club team coach is Wierd Godee, scored 15 points per game while pulling down nine rebounds during the 1995 season. Van Ierland is a high school student at Koning William II College. "We are excited about having a young center with Alphons' potential joining our program said Dooley. "He possesses many outstanding skills; he just needs to get 'Americanized' toward basketball. We look forward to having him arrive this fall Van Ierland is the first men's signee of the spring for ECU and the second overall. Neil Punt, a 6-9 for- ward-center from Chaska, Minn signed with the Pirates during the early period last fall. The Lady Pirates have been rolling through the competition all season, and Tuesday afternoon was no exception. The victim this time was UNC-W. The mighty purple and gold la- dies took it to the Lady Seahawks on a wet Tuesday afternoon in Greenville. The teams played a doubleheader in which the Lady Pi- rates were victoriously big in both. The final scores read 4-0 for game one, and 9-1 in game two, in a Big South conference battle. They were keyed by some out- standing offensive performances, including some clutch hitting from short stop Sharoiyn Strickland. Rhonda Rost's two-run double to center field in the bottom wf the sixth inning that scored outfielders, Amy Hooks and Tonya Oxendine, all but clinched the victory for the Lady Pirates in the first game. The defense against the Lady Seahawks was -a definite team effort all around. Jami Bendle (12-10,5-2 Big South) earned the victory on the mound for the Lady Pirates as she held UNC-W in tact with a two-hit shutout "These were two of the better games we've played this year ECU Coach Sue Manahan said. "Sharoiyn really hit the ball well. She had a lot of RBI's in both games. Her hit in the second game with the bases loaded sealed our victory by slaughter rule. I cannot say enough about our defense. De- fense is always key in winning any game you play. I am very pleased with our overall effort The second game provided more outstanding play by the Lady Pirates. They were keyed by an- other solid batting performance from Strickland as she batted two- for-four with two doubles and four RBI's. Senior Tracie Podratsky, hurled her way to a terrific three- hit, one run ball game as she took the mound for game two.

This is a predominantly vet- eran team as ECU fields five jun- iors and five seniors. Having expe- rienced players as leaders can be essential. "We are a tough team to play against and a lot of the reason why can be attributed to us being a vet- eran squad Podratski said. "We do have a couple of young players who help out tremendously and will defi- nitely have their time inhe years to come to take over the leadership duties. Joey Clark does a tremen- dous job for us on first base and deserves a lot of credit for being a good role model and leader a There are six more games left on the schedule for the Lady Pi- rates. Following the final two home games ECU will hit the road for it$ final four. Two are conference games and the other two are nort- conference. Because the race for first between ECU and UNC-G has grown so tight, it is important fojr the Lady Pirates to stay focusei and take care of business on the field.

On March 30, the Pirates trav- eled to James Madison University and then to Lynchburg, Va to take on the Liberty Flames. After im- pressive victories the week before against William and Mary and UNC- W, the Pirates made the journey to JMU. "We went into . the game thinking we could roll right over JMU veteran defensemen Reid Tingle said. "Unfor- tunately that didn't happen JMU surprised the ECU defense with three quick goals in the first six minutes of the game. "They totally took us by sur- prise goalie Brian Trail said. "We weren't prepared for their speed But the JMU offense quickly slowed down as the Pirates midfielders controlled the ball. Midfielder, Brian Hunsicker, was the first to score. "I saw an opening and I went for it Hunsicker said. By half-time, the game was tied at four apiece. JMU scored just one more goal before the half, while ECU's attackman Ward Taylor and Don't midfielders John Prousult and Ben Kley added ECU goals. The second half turned into a hard hitting physical game with JMU taking most of the heat. The ECU defense held tight with plays by veterans Cullum McNutly and Greg Daisey. ECU's offense took ad- vantage of man-up advantages and scored three more goals. Fntering the last two minutes of the game, ECU was ahead seven to six. It looked as if the Pirates would come away victori- ?- ous. But with 20 seconds left in the game, JMU scored with a shot, tying the game at seven all and send- ing it into sud- den death. I ?MinHnriHmimi, ? couldn't be- lieve it. That attackman had divine help on that shot defenseman Andrew Longaro said. Overtime began and ECU took control. Three minutes later, JMU's goalie was caught out of the goal and attackman Brendon McLaughlin scooped it up and scored the winning goal. "It just fell into my stick Brendon said. "There was nothing stopping me from scoring the goal The next day, ECU went to take on the Liberty Flames. Liberty scored one quick goal, and it looked "We went into the game thinking we could roll right over JMU" ? Reid Tingle, veteran defenseman as if the game would be like the previous day against JMU. However, that was not the easel. The Liberty offense was nonexist- ent, only scoring four times the entire game. The Pirates, both on offense and on defense, played a physical game that the Flames couldn't compete against "We knocked them around, midfielder Scott McNichol said. "They couldn't match up against our strength and size on defense The Pirates' offense scored 14 times and held onto the ball the ma- jority of the game. "We passed it around until they were tired, and then we scored midfielder John Provast said. "It was easy The game ended with a score of 14-4. The Pirates now have a overall record of 12 wins and 3 loses, and they are 8-1 in their division. They have dominated the southeast, and are a sure bet to go to the Final Four. There are three games left. Duke, N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill will be ECU's final competitors. ECU will entertain Duke on Satur- day, April 13, and ECU will turn around and host N.C. State Sunday, April 14. Both Duke and N.C. State are home games starting at 2 p.m. be- hind the Allied Health Building, by the climbing tower.

"If we can main- tain our level of play and maybe even rise a little, I am very confi- dent that we can take the title. We've got the players, the heart and the determination to - in it all. The question is, will it all be there come game time? UNC-G is good, but we feel we are the team to beat After the conclusion of the regular season, the Lady Pirates will venture down to Rock Hill. SC, for the Big South Conference Tour- nament. The conference tourna- ment is approaching rapidly. The dates for this year's tournament are April 19, 20 and 21. The tourna- ment should be very competitive this year with ECU and UNC-G be- ing the early favorites. This last week or so could set the tone for Lady Pirates post-season. "We cannot afford to slack of during this stretch run of the sea- son Podratski said. "1 agree with Joey An that we do need to main- tain our high level of play. We can- not look past these remaining games. If we do, we are asking to get ourselves beaten by someone else. Yes, the conference tourna- ment only being a week and a half away cannot help but to get you excited, especially when you are a senior. This is it for me and the other seniors as well. We all want to go all the way to the top The Lady Pirates seem focused and poised for a late season at the title. They might be losing some key seniors this year, but reports have shown that ECU is getting a tal- ented recruiting class that will be arriving in the fall. The five juniors who will become seniors next sea- son should provide the quality lead- ership that will help shape up next year's teim into, hopefully, the high-caliber team the Lady Pirates have formed this season. The victories over UNC-W boost ECU'S record to 11-3 in the Big South Conference and 30-18-1 over- all. This 11-3 conference mark leaves ECU in a first place tie with arch-rival UNC-G. Next up for the Lady Pirates will be their final regular season home games as they host Hampton University in non-conference doubleheader.
