(AP) - Administrators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are vying for grant money they hope can help reduce alcohol use among students. A fire that killed five people earlier this month at a Chapel Hil! fraternity house has refocused the spotlight on drinking among stu- dents. Four of the victims were intoxicated. University administrators said they are interested in a $20 mil- lion grant program announced iMonday by the American Medical Association in an effort to combat binge drinking by youths.

Enrollment increases calls for expansion Governor Hunt proposes million dollar budget Amy L. Royster Assistant News Editor Expansion on campuses in the UNC system comes in the form of ris- ing enrollment new computer tech- nologies, and Governor Hunt's pro- posed $100 million budget. Children of baby boomers are ex- pected to boost enrollment by at least two to three percent annually at uni- versities over the next decade, said UNC system president C. D. Spangler. "We know where these children are, they are in the third or fourth grade, and the universities are prepar- ing to accept any of these children who can benefit from higher education said Spangler. "They are planned for According to Spangler, ECU is pre- pared to meet the demands of becom- � ing a university with a population well exceeding 20,000 students. "ECU has new dinning facilities, and a new library is in the works said Spangler. "With the addition of the new rec center, they will have the fa- cilities needed to the expected enroll- ment increases While there has been no proposal to add a new campus to the university system, Spangler commented on the possibility that - , Governor Hunt's office, another facet of the UNC system that could be ex: panding is the budget Fred Hartman, an aid in the Governor's office, said that Hunt delivered his budget pro- posal of $100 million for universities � to the House of MMMMMMMM new computer technologies could create satel- lite campuses via the internet "There will be new technolo- gies over the internet in the fu- ture said Spangler. "The general assembly has asked universities to look into these possibilities Spangler said that while the ma- jority of the expected new students are children of baby boomers, many are adult students. Potentially, additional computer technologies could make it easier for adult students to obtain post graduate degrees. . "We know that everv time a per- son adds a degree, their opportunity for obtaining more meaningful jobs in- creases said Spangler. According to a press release from "There will be new technologies over the internet in the future" � CD. Spangler, UNC system president Representative's two weeks ago. "They (the House) will be de- bating the budget over the summer session said Hartman. "We can expect the final form of the budget to go into effect be- fore the fall Hunt's proposal includes a salary increase of seven percent for teaching , faculty, which accounts for $70 million of the budget The remaining money is allocated towards no cost health in- surance for graduate assistants, the purchase of new equipment for teach- ing research and one and a half mil- lion dollars for the Distinguished Pro- fessors Endowment Trust Fund. Last year, Hunt proposed a $12 million boost for universities which was not passed by the general assem- bly. Fund-raising campaign exceeds goal Extra $15.5 million awarded to scholarships, programs, facilities Kelly Sullivan Staff Writer More than a year after the Shared Visions campaign reached its goal of $50 million, the campaign continues to thrive. Chancellor Richard Eakin announced on March 22 that the campaign exceeded its original goal by $15.5 million. "Five years ago our consultants projected we could raise between $35 million and $40 million Robert A. Ward, co-chairman of the fundraising campaign said. "As our first major campaign, even many of our friends thought that $50 million was just too aggressive. Once again, the East Carolina family rose to the challenge The campaign began in 1990 to raise funds to en- hance the school's medical efforts, athletics and academ- ics. The plan met its goal in Dec. 1994 and exceeded it by 30 percent one year later at the close of the campaign. "We read each day about the inequities of school fund- ing in regard to programs, facilities, scholarships, educa- tional opportunities Ward said. "Reaching $65 million is a tribute to our institution, our leadership, our alumni, the 700 volunteers who helped identify and solicit gifts, and the 12.000 individual donors whose gifts made the project successful Ward said that friends and alumni contributed the most to the campaign, donating $17 million, or 52 per- cent. Corporations and businesses contributed $12.7 mil- lion, or 19 percent; boards donated $7.7 million, or 12 percent; university families donated $4.6 million, or 7 per- cent; foundations contributed $2.6 million, or 4 percent parents donated $500,000, or 1 percent; and $3.5 million, or 5 percent came from other sources.

State Two ponies at N. C. State's College of Veterinary Medicine were bru- tally gunned down early one morning in late April. One of the ponies was dead when an employee discovered it around 6 a.m. tying on the ground. The animal had been shot five times. The other pony was found alive but suffered from several bullet wounds. After teing placed in intensive care, the pony was euthanized. A third pony was wounded by a bullet to the neck. Fortunately, the bullet lodged in fatty tissue and did not kill the pony. Officials deny any link between the pony shootings and the February killing of UNC- Chapel Hill sports mascot Rameses the Ram. Kilter at the University off South Florida gets life A man who killed his ex-girlfriend outside of Alpha Hall two years ago at the University of South Florida was sentenced to life in prison. Peter Harold Howarth must serve at least 25 years in the Florida State Prison before being eligible for parole in the murder of 19-year old Heather Marie Haupin Feb. 18, 1994. Howarth shot Haupin twice in the head at point-blank range with a .32-caliber semiautomatic handgun after leaving a White Zombie concert at the Sun Dome. Haupin died instantly. 15 minutes later, as university police approached him, Howarth shot himself in the neck. Haupin had been within days of filing a restraining order against Howarth, the father of her four-year-old son Leif. Six hours before her death, police say Howarth left a cryptic message on Haupin's answering machine. "We're going to be together forever he said. "I promise you. It's been a good life Duke students demand apology from campus police Eight Duke University students met with University Police Chief Don Gold to demand an official apology for the lack of protection at a Great Hall party sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. held in late March. A Raleigh man was severely beaten, a female Duke student was almost assaulted and a male Duke student was surrounded by a mob outside of the Student Union on the night of the party, according to witnesses and police reports. The Duke students said that University Police refused to help the woman when she asked for assistance. THe students asked for an investigation into the events, as well as identification and suspension of the officers involved. Gold said that altercations occurred when a large group was not admit- ted to the party because it sold out Gold said he initiated an internal affairs investigation after speaking to the students.

Wednesday, May 22,1996 The East Carolinian Business students excell at National Conference ECU students are three of only 15 national winners Jaqueline Kelium News Writer Three ECU students were awarded special recognition for their efforts during the past school year as ECU was ranked third nationally when the Society for the Advancement of Man- agement (SAM) held an International Conference this past March. Philip T Antle, Meleah L. Barnhill, and William R. Parker won National Outstanding Student Awards. This award is the most prestigious that a student SAM member can receive. The students given this award were three of only fifteen selected nationwide. The conference was held March 13-16 in Corpus Christi, Texas and in- cluded over 300 SAM members. Vari- ous sessions, seminars and competi- tions were conducted. The students were given the opportunity to network with other students and gain experi- ence in their field. The case analysis competition tested the students' skills in solving business problems. The students com- peted in teams of three and were sent the case analysis problem approxi- mately two weeks before the confer- ence. They were not allowed help from faculty members or any outside sources, only the knowledge and skills they have acquired over their years of study. "It's a great exercise faculty ad- visor Stephen Childers said. "This type of competition gives you a chance to take everything you've learned and apply it to a real world problem ECU took six students to this con- ference, the most they have ever taken in one year, and because of the size of the group were able to compete in both the undergraduate and open divisions in the case analysis competition. The schools participating in the conference were also judged and ranked for the quality of their campus business clubs. ECU placed third in this competition, which was based on the entire year's performance.such as tours, speakers, and community ser- vice. Childers commented on the ECU business club's community service in- volvement "We did some work with a home- less shelter Childers said. "We gave a couple hundred dollars worth to the Salvation Army in clothes and house- hold items In order to be considered for the award, the three winning students had to first be nominated by their advisor. Three is the maximum number a single school is allowed to nominate, Childers added. All three of ECU's nominations won at the Regional level and contin- ued on to the National level, where all three again won honors. Meleah Barnhill was also elected by her student peers at the conference to serve on the International Execu- tive Board. As a student member of this board she will go to approximately four meetings a year and represent student interests. Childers said no ECU student has Still haven't found a summer job?

There were also awards given for the faculty advisors at the conference. Childers received an Outstanding Fac- ulty Advisor award after being nomi- nated by his students. Childers expressed his gratitude to the Student Government Associa- tion, who added to the business club's own fundraising efforts and helped to finance this trip. Other students who went to the conference were Jessica Black, Meredith Davis, Laura Ecklin, and Anthony Cribble.

For lack of a better word, we use the terms "Our View"and masthead" interchangably. Have you wondered how we get the ideas that are expressed in "Our View?" Well, wonder no longer, we are here to explain. Each week all the editors and assistant editors in our re- spected sections sit down and have our editorial board meet- ing. Sometimes the meetings take hours, even days. OK, actu- ally it only takes about 10 minutes to come up with topics, but sometimes it seems like hours. We brainstorm topics that are relative to the news of the week. It may be campus news, com- munity news, world news and sometimes even sports gets thrown in. We try to write on subjects that not only interest us, but you too. We don't want to write on dead-beat subjects. Some- thing no one will want to read is useless and we know you deserve the highest quality we at TEC can offer. Everybody votes on two topics they like and the top two vote getters on the list are the mastheads for the upcoming weeks. Everyone is assigned to write the "Our View" each week, so everybody gets a turn to write on subjects, that sometimes, they really don't have a strong opinion about. Thai a where the rest of staff comes into play. Because not everybody thinks alike, after we choose our two topics, every- one in the meeting throws out ideas on why they like the topic, hate it agree with it or disagree. The writer for that masthead jots down the ideas and incorporates those views into the col- umn. This makes it easier for whoever is summoned to write the masthead. They can put their own input into the article as well as six other people's ideas. We try to express views that will generate the reader's in- terests. We often get feedback on the mastheads and that is what we are trying to do: codger up some interest and get people thinking about certain topics. Some may think it is a tedious process and sometimes it is. But the whole reason for titling the section "Our View" is to let the readers know what we are thinking. What you read isn't just the opinion of one writer, it is a combination of all of us at TEC. So the next time your friend turns to you and says that they can't believe that whoever wrote the "Our View" believes what they do, you can set them straight and let them know that the opinion is not just of one person, but of several. We ail collaborate to make "Our View" as unique as our- selves and we put them into one big melting pot to create many diverse opinions. And when the boiling pot of opinions are fin- ished brewing, that's when you have what we call "Our View Letters to the Editor N.C. Race: No room for moderates - To the Editor: The two party system has de- � prived North Carolina voters of any jreal choices in the 1996 U.S. Sen- ate face. Both parties have nomi- fi�Jd candidates that represent the extremes of their respective parties. Republicans re-nominated Jesse Helms, a card-carrying mem- ber and leader of the far right move- ment. Senator Helms has a long record of regressive voting on edu- cation, the environment and a long string of other issues. The fact he is a professional politician with 24 years under his belt in Washington only worsens his standing. The democrats nominated a candidate that also represents the extremes of their party. Harvey Cantt opposes capital punishment, favors racial quotas and has already been rejected once by North Caro- lina voters. Cantt cemented his left- wing credentials by calling his op- ponent a racist to mobilize his base in the democratic primary. It is unfortunate two career politicians that are willing to use race to their advantage are the only options in this Senate race. Moder- ate voters don't have any choices in this election. It's no wonder people are sickened by the state of our political system. Sincerely, James T.

Oh no, I think that I have gone off of the deep end. I have reached the point of no return in my writing career. Assuming this article gets printed I have an actual printed record of having used a quote from a Guns and Roses song to introduce an ar- ticle. I think this shows my madness. Yes, there is a point. I think that I am going mad be- cause I chose to be in school for an optional three months. This may sound scary but you could be in the same danger that I am in. You could have this problem too, if you are here of your own accord. Here's a few things that can set off a person with the madness. Read at your own risk. I chose to not be able to find my way around a campus that I have spent three years on. Being in sum- mer school means a lot of things, but this summer it means that on anv given morning your favorite area of campus could be fenced off and closed from entry. This then allows me to get to school everyday with the anticipation of a lab rat waiting to get his chance at the maze. If you have class in the Gen- eral Classroom building and you need to use the ATM machine be- fore you go to the food mobile or whatever it is that they have wittily called the " Wright Re-place then strap on those running shoes and put on a pack because it is almost impossible to find your way. For me, this is a summer of hav- ing too,much homework for one class. In my class we are doing at Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist Now I can get out of class and head to the beach and be back for Punky Brewster at 9 p.m. least 15 pages of wriaen work a night. Hello? What are they think- ing? I would like to say that I love my professor. Being in summer school means that you most likely have to find a job. If you have ever lived in this booming metropolis during the sum- mer or even if this is your first sum- mer here you will know that if you don't get the coolest job in the world befcre summer starts then you ei- ther become poor because you can- not find a job. or if you are lucky enough to find one. it will most likely stink. I guess I need to figure out what stage of childhood I missed while daydreaming that taught people that summer was supposed to be a work- ing and stressing time of the year. There is much to do except enjoy the sunshine. Which brings me to the lighter side and possibly the an- tidote to the disease that caused me to begin the later stages in my adult- hood when I refer to bands long stricken from the playlist of any ra- dio station. Greenville in the summer is hot. You can spend your tree time, as- suming that you can find some, bak- ing in the sunshine. It is so nice also to be so close to the beach. I grew up more than five hours from the coast so a beach trip was out of the question except on the family vaca- tion in late summer one week a year. Now I can get out of class and head to the beach and be back for Punky Brewster at 9 p.m. There I go again. Summer is such a better time to get to know people or to meet them than fall or spring semesters. This is getting a little corny. Let me bring us back to reality. It is good to meet people but it's even better to spend time with them if you have something silly to complain about like the fences on campus, the food or the homework. I have convinced myself, which I have become quite good at doing, that the parts of life especially here in wonder world that is ECU. that are bad just give us something to whine about. As an opinion columnist. I am so very thankful for any bone-head moves by anyone in the public eye or any part of college life that is silly and give me something to write about. Welcome to Summer school. May your days be filled with sun- shine and your nights with good sleep. I care about you guys. I love you man. See ya next week. 2 SUBSCRIBE TO The East Carolinian Support student-run media by subscribing: To receive The East Carolinian, check the length of subscription desired, complete your name address, and send a check or money order to Circulation Dept The East Carolinian, Student Pubs Bldg ECU, Greenville, NC 27858-4353. $110 for first class Name $40 for bulk rate Address I I I I I I l I l I I l I I I "MiP � �iM� �'ij� � �ui�- Wednesday, May 22,1996 The East Carolinian Outta here!

Despite the fact that most campus activities are cut back in the summer, the ECU Playhouse valiantly strives to provide enter- tainment and fun for those students who every year brave the ghost town that is ECU from May until August. The ECU Playhouse has always furnished a smorgasbord of theat- rical treats for the summer fare, and this year is no exception. Accord- ing to Gary Faircloth, the general manager of McGinnis Theatre, the Playhouse's yearly summer plan is "to have a musical, a comedy, and another play, one that has received critical praise This year they've lined up Car- ousel from June 18-22, Daddy's Dyin Who's Got the Will? from July 2-6 and Sleuth from July 16- 20. Two of the plays, Carousel and Sleuth, have both received Tony Awards and are recognized as be- ing modern day classics. Carousel, a musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, concerns an unlucky tryst between a car- nival guy and the somewhat innocent girl who becomes the object of his love. This union brings them a child, and that's where the fun begins as the father tries to The ECU Playhouse has always furnished a smorgasbord of theatrical treats for the summer fare, and this year is no exception. of the endless days of cruelty and injustice shared between the kids. The kicker is that the father isn't even dead, yet. In contrast to these two upbeat plays comes the sinister mystery Sleuth, written by Anthony Shaffer. A masterpiece of the double-cross and back.stab, this play bristles with intrigue.

Gray Art Gallery, might be just the thing for you. The exhibition will run from July 15- Sept. 7 and is free-of-charge to the public. The works of 48 printmakers will be presented at this exhibition. Two of the printmakers. Michael W. Ehlbeck and Michael Voors, are cur- rently members of the East Carolina School of Art faculty. Also, Tom Hammond, professor of art and printmaking at the Uni- versity of Georgia and an alumnus of the East Carolina School of Art, will be represented in the exhibition. Hammond will give a lecture about printmaking on Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. in Speight Auditorium. This is the first year that this particular exhibition will be held on East Carolina's campus. According to Dr. Gil Leebrick, director of Gray Art Gallery, the purpose of the ex- hibit, and the art gallery in general, is "to educate students and to in- form the faculty of what is going on in art really to engage the Greater Greenville community Since the gallery is primarily a teaching facility, the exhibition was chosen to complement the curricu- lum of the art department. Exhibits are chosen so that every medium is covered in a 2-3 year cycle. This ex- hibit will, of course, represent the print medium. Examples of prints range from, among others, intaglio (the incision of lines that will hold ink into a metal plate) and lithography (which literally means "stone writing") to relief (the exact opposite of intaglio - in relief, the raised surface is inked). According to Leebrick, Gray Art Gallery is the largest teaching gal- See GRAY page 7 Tttactte evcec if Only special effects excitement saves Twister CD Reviews Plot and character take back seat in windy wasteland Dale Williamson Senior Writer Hollywood is always looking for the next big marketable thing. A few years ago, it was dinosaurs. Last year, a man dressed as a bat made a come- back. This year, nature rules at the box office. As strange as it may seem, tornadoes are the "in" thing at the, moment, and Warner Brothers' new film Twister taps into this current phenomena. Critics across the nation are al- ready praising the film for its special effects wiz- ardry. The special ef- fects team for Twister per- f o r m miracles with their com- puter tech- nology. The tornadoes, If you're going to bother with a story at all, why not put a little effort into it? which are the selling point of this film, don't disap- point. These twisters look amazingly realistic as they destroy barns, hurl live cows around, and throw transfer trucks as if they were weightless. While these critics praise the spe- cial effects in Twister, they also are quick to point out that the story is weak, as are the characters. However, these same critics forgive the filmmak- ers because what really matters are the tornadoes. Let me stray fipm the pack for a minute. I admit that the tornadoes are the focus of Twister, as were the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, but I still don't understand why we have to sacrifice an engaging story and characters that are somewhat complex in exchange for great effects. If you're going to bother with a story at all, then why not put a little effort into it instead of following the typical Hollywood formula? Without going into any detail, the basic premise of the story involves a separated couple, Bill and Jo Harding (played by Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt respectively), who find themselves thrown back together when a record outbreak of tornadoes occurs in Okla- homa. As this couple, along with their team of scientist companions, chase one tornado after another with a sci- entific invention they created to ana- lyze and study torna- does, we do witness attempts at character and story develop- ment, but these at- tempts prove to be frail and even cliched. Screenwriters Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin do their best to provide characters with inter- nal motivations, haunted obsessions and human qualities, but the end re- sult is more of a predictable paint-by- numbers script than a surprisingly com- pelling story. Not only that, Crichton and Martin even resort to throwing in such tired concepts as a sleazy corpo- rate antagonist who, of course, is not as skilled at chasing tornadoes as our instinctive heroes. The only really interesting element in the story's concept is how the tor- �:�,� ,��W��'�� nadoes themselves are given a lifelike quality. The script plays around with the notion that tornadoes are their own entities, even to the point that these tornadoes growl like some unnatural beast But even this idea is not origi- nal. Ron Howard did the same thing with fire when he made Backdraft. Still, Twister does deliver on the action, and that's what really matters here. Director Jan De Bont is perfect for the job, especially since he already proved he could make the mundane fun with his previous hit, Speed. De Bont's camera constantly moves in an action sequence, creating a dizzying sensation without being distracting. Visually, De Bont does capture some memorable moments. A night sequence in which a huge tornado attacks a drive-in theater is particularly fright- ening. De Bont is also a master at plac- ing his heroes in dangerous situations. I have to admire any film that has our protagonists run into a barn for shel- ter from a tornado only to discover that the barn is filled with blades, pitch- forks, and shovels. Moments like this make this ride an enjoyable one. Twister is one of those films that has many inexcusable faults, but it is also a film I can't totally dislike because the elements that work really work jwelLWhen the action startstfce film's flaws fade. However, whenever the film takes a pit stop, the flaws are as un- mistakable as any tornado. My advice to everyone, though, is to see Twister on the big screen, in a theater with a digital sound system if possible. I don't see this flick as trans- lating to video effectively at all. On a scale of one to 10, Twister rates a six (an eight if you see it in a really nice theater). Evan and Jaron Band Not from Concentrate Derek T. Hall Staff Writer From the depths of Atlanta they came, with mirror images of themselves to count on and an ar- ray of new tunes. Evan and Jaron are working it out! Working out the club scene, that is. In only two years, these identical twin brothers have released Live at KaLo's Cof- fee House, a self-published album, and Not from Concentrate, their debut studio CD. And this seven-song EP is defi- nitely an impressive debut. It opens up with a tune called "Nature Co a song that lists the necessary in- gredients for human survival, one of them being music, of course. The most impressive song on the disc is called "How Many Times This tune allows Evan to venture off into a world of his own by letting loose on his Gibson, an electric, custom-made guitar that is perhaps one of a few in existence. An electric sound is what the band needs to put them over the top. Not from Concentrate is defi- nitely up beat. It shows you a to- tally different side to these broth- ers. Before, they were playing acoustics in a coffee shop and re- lied on nothing but themselves. After selling over 8,000 copies of Live at KaLo's Coffee House, they decided to get a band and record Not from Concentrate. Don't get lured into thinking that this twin duo is a repeat of the Nelson boys or any other demented twins that smiled for the cameras. This band has respect, something that most twin rockers can never acquire. The music on this disc is very pop. Although the sound works, it has been done before. Evan and Jaron won't win many awards for originality, but their poppy rhythms do catch your attention. I think that's what attracts people to this band: their simplistic style makes you wonder what you're listening to, while you're enjoying it. I've seen these guys play for a packed crowd and an empty one. Their best quality as a band is their ability to hold the intensity of a large packed room and also to ad- just and play like they never have before to an empty hall. When all is said and done and the disc player is dead silent, you'll probably find yourself glad you pushed that tepeafbuttonBe care- ful though; playing it too much is addictive. Not from Concentrate suits the band well as a title. It's not the or- dinary dried-up crap you hear on the airwaves. It's the real thing, picked fresh like a Georgia peach for your listening pleasure. Be on the lookout for Evan and Jaron at the Attic on May 30th. It's a show that you don't want to miss.

Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor "I guess I was about three when Mama died. "I remember, Daddy would come visit us every night for sup- per, and we'd pull at his britches legs when he left and just beg im to take us home. He said he'd bring us back when he found a cook. I reckon that was right hard on im you know it was, Mark. It had to be. So he married Miss Lizzie in August, and we went back. Mama died in February, I think. She was 28 I sat in the uncomfortable chair at the nursing home, my jaw hanging open in stunned disbe- lief at the story that had just spilled forth from my grandmother's lips. In just one minute, sandwiched unexpectedly between complaints about grow- ing old and the sad habits of her next door neighbor, my father's mother had set off a bomb in my brain. I had never heard anything about my great-grandmother. In the multitude of stories that my family has told about the numer- ous outrageous characters that preceded me onto this Earth, she had never been mentioned even once. I guess she died so young that she didn't have the chance to collect enough eccentricities for there to be any stories. But that little snippet of my family's history, that sliver of traumatic time, filled in so many gaps in the other stories. For one thing, I now knew who Miss Lizzie was. I had gath- ered that she had helped raise my grandmother, but I never guessed she became part of the family. The story also snapped an important piece into place right at the center of the enigmatic puzzle that was my great-grand- father, who was, near as 1 can tell, a crusty, disagreeable old farmer who ate mayonnaise sandwiches every day for lunch and never had an ounce of praise for anybody. I've never been able to figure out what made him that way, nor why everybody loved him so much. Now I think I've got some insight into that first mystery (though I'm still perplexed by the second one). But all that history opening up beneath me wasn't what stunned me so much. No, I was sitting there allow- ing the flies free access to my ton- sils because I knew that, in just a few short months, 1 would be 28. By the time she was my age, my great-grandmother had married, built a farm with her husband, given birth to three children, and died. Some would say that's a pretty full life. This got me thinking: what have I done with my 28 years? Well. I've come really close to fin- ishing a master's degree in En- glish and gotten engaged. In other words, not a whole hell of a lot. If See DROP page 7 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 The East Carolinian v Peppers cure pain PHILADELPHIA (AP) - When burning pain lingers months after surgery, doctors say there is a red-hot cure: chili peppers. In a study, an ointment made with capsaicin (cap-SAY-uh-sin). the stuff that makes chili peppers hot, brought relief to patients with tender surgical scars, apparently b short-circuiting the pain. Patients undergoing major can- cer surgery, such as mastectomies or lung operations, are sometimes beset by sharp, burning pain in their surgi- cal scars that lasts for months, even years. Sometimes the misery is so bad that sufferers cannot even stand the weight of clothing on their scar, even though it is fully healed. The condition, seen in about five percent or fewer of all cases, results from damage to the nerves during surgery. Ordinary painkillers don't work, and the standard treatment is antidepressant drugs. However, these powerful drugs have side effects. So in search of a better alternative, doctors tested a cream made with capsaicin on 99 pa- tients who typically had suffered pain- ful surgical scars for at least six months. Patients preferred capsaicin over a dummy cream by 3-to-l. "The therapy clearly worked said Dr. Charles L. Loprinzi, head of medical oncology at the Mayo Clinic. He released his data Monday at the annual meeting of the American So- ciety for Clinical Oncology. The only side effects were red- ness, burning and an occasional cough when the patient caught a whiff of the ointment. Capsaicin is believed to work by blocking substance P, a natural chemi- cal that carries pain impulses between nerve cells. That same blocking effect may explain why people who eat hot peppers all the time develop a toler- ance to the burn. Dr. Alan Lyss of Missouri Baptist Medical Center in St. Louis called it "a creative, new and very inexpensive way to take care of some kinds of can- cer pain Capsaicin is sold in drug stores without a prescription, and a tube that lasts a month costs about $16. It is commonly marketed for re- lieving shingles, but Loprinzi said his study, financed by the National Can- cer Institute, is the first to look at its use in post-surgi- cal pain. In the study, the pa- tients were randomly assigned to cap- saicin cream or the look-alike placebo four times a day for eight-week inter- vals. Until the study was over, no one knew which was which. Patients kept score of their pain. It went down 53 percent while using capsaicin but only 17 percent while on the placebo. About 10 percent said their pain disappeared completely. The doctors followed the patients for two months after they stopped using capsaicin and found that the pain did not come back. A longer fol- low-up will be necessary to see if the treatment relieves the pain perma- nently. Three strengths of capsaicin cream are commonly available in phar- macies. In the study, doctors used the middle strength. 0.075 percent. Plans are under way to test a hot candy version of the chili derivative for treating lingering mouth pain.

Now, I doubt I'll be dying any- time soon, barring unforeseen acci- dent. Medical science is much more advanced now than it was in my great- grandmother's day, and my life hasn't been nearly as hard as hers must have been. But on that day in the nursing home I still found mortality staring me in the face from the beginning of the century, and boy was it ever ugly. I'm not sure what point I want to make here, what lesson I learned from this story haphazardly picked from my grandmother's brain. I guess it's just the lesson that everyone learns, even- tually, that death can strike at any moment and we'd damn well better make the most of our time. So what if we'll probably live to a ripe old age? We're still racing the clock. This kind of realization adds a bit more urgency to the unending crush of day-to-day life, right down to the most menial tasks. Let me tell you, a little death urgency makes the soul- crushing tedium of cleaning a sink full of dirty dishes go by a whole lot faster.

During the fall and spring se- mesters, the Theatre Arts depart- ment places a priority on overall student involvement in the produc- tion of plays. Once the enrollment drops for the summer, however, the student working force is not enough to maintain the theatre schedule. This is where the outside help comes in. The professionals that are hired for the summer not only increase student knowledge, they also provide the means for play production to continue. The ticket prices are increased for the summer but for those on a student budget, the box office will be selling tickets at a reduced price on a show to show basis once all of the season tickets have been pur- chased. Students who wish to see the play for free are also encour- aged to volunteer as ushers. However, if you want to pay. the prices will range from $10.25 to $13.75 for Carousel tickets and $7.50 to $11.25 for tickets to Daddy's Dyin Who's Got the Will? and Sleuth.

Not since 1971 have they had a losing one. Unfortunately, they broke that streak this year. After beating George Mason in the first round of the CAA Champi- onships in Kinston last week, ECU dropped second and third round games to Old Dominion and VCU, to end their season 22-24. The Pirates started the beginning of the '96 year with a bang. They beat top-rated Kentucky and Tennessee. They then went on to win their next 15 of 23 games scheduled. However, three of those games were postponed due to rain. So by the end of March, the Pirates had only dropped five games. That's pretty impressive. However, their luck changed dur- ing the next two months. During April, five games were won and 11 lost At that point they could only hope that April wouid lead way into a more successful May. But it didn't. ECU finished May with a 1-7 record before heading into the tournament as the number five seed. The tournament is set up in a double elimination format. A team isn't completely out until they drop two games. Last year, ECU dropped their first two games in the tournament, first to Richmond and then to William & Mary. But this year, a first round win over George Mason got ECU fans ex- cited and the players pumped up. ECU knew they had at least two more games to play, hopefully more. A 7-9 loss to Old Dominion and a 0-10 loss to VCU sent the Pirates away with no championship. The last time ECU won the title was 1993. Many positive things came out of this season. Six players earned 1996 All-CAA honors at the annual banquet held before the tournament. Senior second baseman Lamont Edwards and sophomore pitcher Patrick Dunham were named to the first team All-CAA. Senior pitchers Bryan Smith and Jeff Hewitt, sophomore first baseman Randy Rigsby and freshman third baseman Antaine Jones were honored as second team All-CAA selections. ECU had the most players hon- ored by the CAA with the above six mentioned, with ODU and VCU receiv- ing five selections each. I hate to see baseball come to an end. Some of the most spectacular plays I have ever seen were made at Harrington Field this season. The double plays, stoien bases, strikeouts, diving catches and homeruns. ECU has one of the most talented ball clubs in the country. Of course that is bi- ased but I am a die hard ECU fan. I believe any person who saw a game would say the same thing. The Pirates will come out next season ready to avenge this year's los- ing record. It's plain and simple, Pi- rate opponent's better watch out �r' �"� ��'? Chfflin!

Nine more weeks of this kind of stress will take its toll on your body. While you are concerning your- self with school, there is one service on campus that is concerned with making sure that your summer is not just spent behind a textbook. Recreational Services, located in Christenbury Gym, has done all the planning to put the fun back into your summer. The department is devoted to students and faculty by providing a broad range of activities. The highlight of the summer of- fering by rec services is the adventure program.The adventure program gives students, staff and the general public the opportunity to get away and have some fun. The department offers a variety of activities that fit everyone's interests. Weekend getaways being planned ior the summer include back- packing, beach horseback riding, hang gliding, climbing and canoeing. According to a brochure pub- lished by rec services there will be trips to the Shenandoah National Park, Cedar Island, Jockey's Ridge State Park and a Father's Day canoe- ing weekend in Northwestern North Carolina. These brochures can be picked up at Christenbury. "The rates are really inexpen- sive Angela Baumann, coordinator of special programs and publicity said. Trips average $34 to $75 for stu- dents, $39 to $80 for staff and $44 to $85 for the general public, depend- ing on what trip you take.Recreational services provides all your needs for these trips.

If a weekend getaway is not convenient, the adventure pro- gram also in- cludes one of the fastest growing sports - rock climbing. They also have a climbing tower which is open for students. Every Wednesday is free climbing day for students. It has already opened and will close on July 24. The tower is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. If theses services are not what you have in mind, the Recreational Outdoor Center (ROC) can help you plan your own trip. The outdoor center, open Mon- day through Friday, also has informa- tion on campgrounds and places you might want to visit The ROC also car- ries most of the equipment you would need to make your trip a success. "We have a slew of outdoor equipment" Baumann said. "Canoes, backpacks, tents, everything. Right now we have great equipment" There are a number of on-cam- pus programs, activities and events that are available during both sessions this summer. Softball, bas- ketball, tennis, vol- leyball (indoor and sand), golf and frisbee golf are in- cluded on the in- tramural sport's itinerary. Fitness pro- grams are also available.

After a better start than expected, beating 15 out of their first 20 oppo- nents of the season, Overton's troops hit a seven game skid that went into the CAA tournament This skid was topped off in Richmond when the Spi- ders surprised the Pirates by sweep- ing the purple and gold in the last regular season CAA series. This knocked the Pirates from second seed to fifth seed all in seven games. With all of this in mind most young squads like Overton's would hang their heads when they heard that their first round opponent would be George Mason, a team that was predicted by some to win the CAA. Oh, but the contrary. Sophomore All- Conference selection Patrick Dunham took the mound and blanked the Pa- triots 1-0 to advance the Bucs to the winner's bracket This set the match up between the Pirates and the even- tual CAA champion Monarchs of Old Dominion who started that seven game skid during the regular season. "I was proud of our club perfor- mance against Mason Overton said. "Patrick Dunham pitched an out- standing game As the 1-0 score indicates, defense was the name of the game as both teams' aces were on the mound duking it out in an old fashion pitcher's duel. "Our defense played an outstand- ing ball game, but the lack of offense did concern us going into the second game with number one seed ODU Overton said. The Pirates looked for offense and got it as the Bucs went back and forth the whole way, trading the lead with the Monarchs. The Pirates not only put up the multiple hits against one of the tougher pitching staffs in Photo by MICHELLE AMICK Randy Rigsby rounds third during a regular season game. ECU ended thier season at this year's CAA tourney, 22-24. the conference, but they also pushed across seven runs. Despite the im- proved offensive production and a late game rally, it was not enough for the good guys as they dropped into the loser's bracket 9-7 against the even- tual champs. "We played tough against ODU and we fought hard, but things just didn't fall our way Co-captain Lamont Edwards said. The phrase "out of the frying pan and into the fire" comes to mind when the Pirates had to play the confident VCU rams in their next game. "VCU is a team with a lot of con- fidence who believes they should be here and believes they can win it all Overton said. Gary Overton was not joking and neither were the Rams as the VCU lineup jumped all over Jeff Hewitt early, registering six runs off of seven hits in the first three stanzas. The Pirates would look to junior Chad Newton, who lasted only until the sixth inning when Newton couldn't find the umpire's inconsistent strike zone. Overton would then look to one of his youngsters, freshman Kevyn Fulcher, who closed out the game with a strong performance. However, it was too late as the Pirate offense See BASE page 10 SPORTS HONOREES- BASEBALL 1996 All-CAA Honors First team- Senior second baseman Lamont Edwards: sophomore pitcher Patrick Dunham Second team- Senior pitchers Bryan Smith, Jeff Hewitt; sophomore first baseman Randy Rigsby; freshman third baseman Antaine Jones SOFTBALL Tracie Podratsky was named to the 19 GTE Academic Ail-American Softball Team for District III as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Three instate players signed national letters of intent to attend ECU. The Pirates signees include: East Duplin's Melanie Gillem, Statesville's Misty Home and Lakewood's Danielle Melvin. A 58 guard from Beulaville, N.C Gillem led East Duplin to a 261 record and an appearance in the 2-A Eastern Regionals. Averaging 13.0 points and 4.6 rebounds a game, Gillem shot 53 per- cent from the floor. She also averaged over three assists and three steals a game for East Duplin. A two time All-East Cen- tral conference selection, Gillem was also selected to The Jacksonville DaiijNeivs All-Area Team for 1996. "Melanie is a fundamentally sound player who was an important past in her high school team's success this season Donovan said. "She's a heady guard who has played the point guard and shooting guard positions Home, a 5-7 guard from Statesville averaged 18.5 points and 6.3 rebounds as a senior. The 1996 All-Foothills con- ference selection and 1993 Foothills con- ference Co-Player-of-theYear, Home hit 206 three pointers during her career. "Misty is one of the best shooters I've ever seen Donovan said. "Her range is beyond the three point line and she will be an immediate contributor to the back court" Home was a three-time Foothills conference all-tournament team member ('93.

The Pirates left the field for the last time in '96 with a "L" and with a 22-24 season. This, of course, was the first losing season for the Pirate base- ball team since 1971. Despite the dis- appointments of a young, talented club, the Pirates achieved their share of success. For starters, the Bucs put six players on the All CAA team with two on the first team and four on the sec- ond team. Among those on the first team were Dunham and senior sec- ond baseman Lamont Edwards. "Well I came to ECU and played football on the Peach Bowl team and played baseball on the CAA champion team and went to Regionals as a fresh- man. So to end my senior year at ECU with an All-CAA selection feels good Edwards said. The second team selection in- cluded pitchers Jeff Hewitt and Bryan Smith, along with infielders Randy Ri&sby and freshman Antaine Jones. "Most of these guys will be back, so Pirate fans shouldn't worry. This will be a tough team to beat next season senior center fielder Jason Head said. selection. Melvin, a 5-11 forward from Roseboro, N.C averaged 15.7 points and 10 rebounds a game this season for Lake- wood. A three-time All-Carolina confer- ence selection, Melvin shot 47 percent from the floor and 72 percent from the field. Lakewood finished 194 behind Melvin this season, won its conference tournament and were sectional runner ups. During her career, Lakewood was 83-16, won 84 percent of its games and won the 1994 State 1-A championship. In that '94 championship game, Melvin shot 81.8 percent (9-11) from the floor for a single game championship record. "Danielle gives us depth at the three position that we need going in to next season Donovan said. "She is versatile, having played every position and she will be a strong three for us who can rebound , take the ball to the hole or score from the outside ECU's three signess join three from the early signing period in November Nicole Mamula (5-6, Laurel, Md.) and Ashanta Sellers (5-10, Largo, Md.) from Frederick Community College and Crissy White (5-8, New Bern, N.C.) from West Craven High School ECU will also add 6-5 Vanderbilt transfer Jennifer Cox (Bedford, Va.) to the roster after Cox sat out the 1995-96 season.
