After Cobb County in Geor- gia passed a similar resolution in 1993, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games rerouted the Olympic torch to avoid the county.

Royster Assistant News Editor Two escort service proprietors who were convicted last month of prostitution conspiracy, following a seven month investigation and a three day trial, plan to appeal their convic- tions. The jury deliberated for seven hours on May 23, 1996 before Dia- mond Escorts owners, Heather Moore, 23, and Jackie Ray Graves, 28, were found guilty. Moore was found guilty of prostitution conspiracy and assig- nation and Graves was convicted of one count of aiding and abetting pros- titution and two counts of prostitu- tion conspiracy. Moore received 36 months of pro- bation and a $5,000 fine. Graves re- ceived a 45-day active sentence, a 45- day suspended sentence, 136 months probation and a $20,000 fine. Lt John Teel of the Greenville Police Depart- ment said that Moore did not receive an active sentence because she had no prior record. Moore said that she was planning to appeal the case and that Diamond Escorts would remain open during the appeals process. "We're planning to sell the busi- ness later Moore said. Moore's lawyer Jeff Foster con- firmed that they are in the process of appealing the case. According to Fos- ter, there was evidence kept out of the case that should have been presented. Foster said it was premature to give any specifics because he had not thor- oughly reviewed the "It's our be- lief that the fine was excessive Foster said.

The East Carolin- ian reported that a feasibility study was being conducted on the possibility of a parking deck. While the idea is being considered, no definite decisions have been made Student Government Association (SGA) President Angie Nix says what has been discussed is only theoretical planning at this point "At the July SGAJ meeting there will be more of a formal report" Nix said. Appalachian State University con- ducted a survey on their campus this April to test interest in a parking deck. Of those who returned the surveys, the majority voted to support the parking deck, with the faculty returning a larger number of surveys than the students. After the initial survey, Appalachain's SGA conducted another referendum which involved only the students. Again, the students did not respond in large numbers, but those who did respond voted against the parking deck. None of the Appalachian SGA members could be reached for com- ment but Mr. Dino Divernardi, faculty advisor to the SGA. said they were dis- appointed by the lack of response. "They did a referendum about the end of April, and only about 600 stu- dents participated Divernardi said. So far, any studies conducted here See PARK page 3 Temporary set-back?

CMGT program awards schlarship Staff Reports A rising senior in ECU's con- struction management program, was awarded a $1000 scholarship by the Triangle Chapter of the Pro- fessional Construction Estimators Association (PCEA). According to Tom Hubert, the vice-president of PCEA, Heather Banks was chosen over six other ECU applicants. Hubert said that the applications were reviewed by a committee made up of members of PCEA. Initially reviewing the appli- cations Hubert said the field was quickly narrowed down. "Three names rose to the top immediately Hubert said. "It was really difficult to choose between them According to Hubert, the com- mittee evaluated applicants GPA's. He said that the way that each student responded to the ques- tions on the application was more important. "That's (GPA) not real big in determining who receives the award Hubert said.

Several allegations, including misuse of campus shuttle buses, fail- ure to work reported hours and sexual harassment are being examined. According to ECU's attorney, Ben Irons, the allegations concerning the transit system were brought forth during the spring semester. "The complaints involve misconduct which allegedly occurred dur- ing the last two years Irons said. "Most of the misconduct allegedly occurred during the current 95-96 academic year According to Irons there have been no agencies outside of the ECU system dealing with the case. Irons was unable to comment on many of the specifics of the case and did not mention who was involved, how many allegations had been reported or how many individuals were in- volved. Irons said he was not at liberty to confirm or deny any wrongdoing on their part. "The manager and assistant manager resigned their positions ef- fective at the end of the spring semester Irons said. Irons mentioned that the audit was focusing on allegations con- cerning misuse of shuttle buses and misrepresentation of hours worked. As to the allegations of sexual harassment, he said that there had been a series of allegations concerning verbalized sexual harassment. No one in the auditor's office was willing to comment on the case. "The people involved are no longer working with us a clerk in the ECU transit system said. The clerk was unable to say whether or not the people involved had decided to leave on their own or if they had been asked to resign. The clerk did say that their leaving was directly related to the allega- tions which had been recently been brought forth and that are cur- rently under investigation.

NC State student groups upset with treasurer At the end of NC State's spring semester, there were complaints that groups were receiving funds months after their requests were approved by the Senate. Senator Jim Reinke said groups did not receive funds due to a break- down in communication between student groups and Student Body Trea- surer Carmita Davis. In a senate meeting, Davis responded to senator's complaints by say- ing, "1 think some of you have been very whiny tobies this year Davis said that groups received funds late because she unknowingly used an invalid identification number while entering requests into the computer. Helms canceled speaking engagement at Appalachian commencement Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC), who was scheduled to speak at a Maty 12 commencement on the Appalachian campus, canceled in a letter to the chancellor. Helms' cancellation comes after The Boone Environmental Action and Revolution group headed a protest concerning Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski's choice of Helms for speaker. Borkowski answered the student's concerns but refused to withdraw his invitation to Helms. In Helm's letter to Borkowski, he said that he was aware of such protests and did not want the occasion to be "marred by deliberate un- pleasantness Grill changes menu to avoid charges of discrimination At Middle Tennessee University, grill officials announced that effec- tive the first of April, the "Raider Burger" will be changed on the menu to the "Old Blue Burger The name "Raider Burger" raised complaints from several students.

Award recipient dubbed "perfect customer servant" Kelly Sullivan Staff Witter The business services unit of the univerity's Office of Business Affairs recently presented an outstanding Mail Services employee with the Quest for Excellence award on Monday. Award recipient, Thomas Hardy, a courier for Mail Services, is respon- sible for transporting important docu- ments to their destinations between regular mail runs. The award recog- nized Hardy for his outstanding ser- vices and exemplary attitude. "I would just like to thank every- one that voted for me Hardy said. "It is easier not to vote than it is to take the time to fill out the card and mail it back. It really hit me blindsided; I was not expecting it. I never come expecting a reward. That's just the way my mother raised me "Thomas Hardy's infectious smile and outgoing, winning personality light up the room said Layton Getsinger, associate chancellor of busi- ness affairs. "Hardy's performance) is the perfect example of what we're try- ing to achieve here at business ser- vices "This award recognizes that in- dividual who best demonstrates for a 90-day period the qualities that we consider to most closely resemble the perfect customer servant Getsinger said. The business services unit is com- prised of 21 departments, including Parking and Traffic Services, ECU Student Stores, ECU Police Depart- ment and Mail Services. Hardy began working at Mail Botched research study results in death Services as a temporary employee in November 1994 at the start of ECU'S courier service. "This was a brand new service at ECU Mail Services Manager Lea Holt said. "We needed someone in the position with strong personal skills. We needed someone who would be friendly and punctual "From the start at the interview, things just seemed to work out Hardy said. "I knew this would be a great thing for me Hardy received 12 nominations for the award before he switched to a full-time permanent employee and became eligible. He received two more nominations this quarter. "Now that he is a full-time, per manent employee, we are pleased to present him with this much deserved award Director of Marketing for Business Services Leslie Craigle said. "This job was- really kind of a blessing Hardy said. "It's given me lots of discipline and patience with the public. A lot of people see me in one day, and if I let things bother me and let people see me in that position, it's going to affect my work "1 try to treat people the way 1 would want to be treated if I was in their shoes. I want them to know that it (my attitude) is not a business pro- motion, it's really me, Thomas Hardy "Hardy probably has every posi- tive personal trait one would find in a human beingit is just a matter of time before he is promoted to another position Getsinger said. Nominations for the award come from students, faculty, staff and visi- tors across campus. Every person who interacts with business services re- ceives a comment caid that allows the department to identify service trends within the department. A panel of rep- resentatives from each department reviews the nominations quarterly and selects the award recipient Hardy is the fourth recipient of the award since its establishment last July. Along with an engraved plaque for his personal use, Ms name will be added to the running list of award recipients on a plaque that hangs in the winning department. He also re- ceived a $25 gift certificate to the stu- dent stores as well as two additional vacation days. investigation reveals over-use of local anesthetic CPS - A University of Rochester sophomore died of cardiac arrest af- ter participating in a federally spon- sored research study for which she was paid $150. Hoiyan Wan , 19, volunteered to undergo a bronchoscopy, a 45-minute procedure in which ceil tissue is col- lected from the lungs by way of a tube inserted into the throat and windpipe. The research was for a study on how the environment may affect the lungs. Hospital officials said Wan, who was conscious throughout the proce- dure, was apparently given an over- dose of Lidocaine, an anesthetic ap- plied to the throat. After a short observation period following the procedure. Wan was re- leased and went to a friend's house, she suffered a heart attack that morn- ing and died less than 48 hours later on March 31. "Our findingshave indicated that she had a high level of Lidocaine said Bob Loeb, public information director for the University of Roches- ter Medical Center, which conducted its own investigation. The Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office scheduled the re- lease of the official results of the au- topsy for late April, he said. Wan was reported to be in good health before the study and signed a consent form before the procedure was done, he said. The Medical Center performs about 250 bronchoscopies each year, and usually 50 are on volunteers par- ticipating in the study, Loeb said. The "study has been ongoing for 10 years he said. "We've had volun- teers go through 10 procedures" with- out subsequent health problems. The study, done in conjunction with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is funded from a grant from the National Institutes of Health. Although no lawsuit against the medical center has been filed, Wan's family has hired a lawyer and might consider filing, Loeb said. HOW CAN YOU FEED A PIG FOR ONLY $3.75? CHICO'S HUNGRY PIRATE!

(AP) - Admin- istrators at the University of North Caro- lina at Chapel Hill are vying for grant money they hope can help reduce alco- hol use among students. A fire that killed five people earlier this month at a Chapel Hill fraternity house has refocused the spotlight on drinking among students. Four of the victims were intoxicated. "F feel like I'm beating my head against the wall said Chancellor Michael Hooker, who recently instituted a tougher alcohol policy. Hooker does not think alcohol con- tributed to the May 12 fire deaths, but he's concerned about a pattern of heavy drinking on campus - a pattern that re- flects a national problem lacking easy solutions. University administrators said they are interested in a $20 million grant pro- TUESDAYS Silver Bullet's Female "Exotic" Dancers WEDNESDAYS Amateur Night for Female Dancers 1 lpm-lamIg CASH PRIZE "Contestants need to call & register in advance.

Judith Cowan, the university's direc- tor of Student Health Services, said she has a proposal already written. "We would love to have that money she said. Cowan is planning a Center for the Study and Promotion of Healthy Student Behaviors, which would focus on drink- ing and substance abuse in elementary school high school and college. It also would target unhealthy sexual behavior and other issues, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported. In his first year, as chancellor, Hooker criticized the party atmosphere at UNCCH, calling it a deterrent to the intellectual climate. In December, he announced a policy barring alcohol possession at all univer- sity events and dormitory lounges and bans kegs on state property. So far, 100 violators have gone through the university's four-hour man- datory alcohol education program; an- other 100 have been referred there after police cited them for having open con- tainers of alcohol. Fraternities and sororities are not governed by he university's policy be- cause their houses are on private prop- erty. But they have their own rules: only "bring your own beer" parties and no common containers of alcohoL At Duke University, President Nan Keohane also has tried to control the situation. Only licensed bartenders can distribute alcohol at parties and in pub- lic spaces, and only after checking IDs to make sure students are 21. The big- gest change has been banning alcohol from the all-freshman East Campus. Duke's Greek organizations also have a BYOB policy. And fraternity and sorority rush, which once spanned the entire fall semester, has been shortened and delayed until spring. At UNGCH, Hooker said he will consider postponing rush, the Greeks' recruiting period. He also will ask the university's Interfraternity Council to step in and help. As at any university, Hooker said. UNCCH students drink to relieve stress. They al:o drink because they've estab- lished the habit in high school and it ic- mains a focal point of college social life. "There's probably not a lot we can do the chancellor said. "But I'm not willing to leave any stone unturned. We've got to change the culture Still, some don't think administra- tors are doinK enough. "They could do something about it" said Ken McGee of Wilmington, whose freshman daughter, Jamie, fell to her death from a campus building last year after a night of drinking. "Alcohol is the root of most of the problems there McGee said. "It's out of control 1: AJvlY from page 1 at ECU about the parking deck have not included students' opinions. "It's not to that stage yet Nix said. If Appalachian gets a parking deck, it will be funded through student fees in the form of fines and vehicle registration. Nix said that she recognized the necessity of solving the parking prob- lem, but would prefer that the solu- tion not involve increased student fees. While there are no specific figures yet known, building a parking deck will be more expensive than building addi- tional satellite parking lots around cam- pus. At the May 3rd meeting of the board of trustees, it was estimated that a parking deck will cost approximately $7,000 per parking space to build. The MARK A. WARD ATTORNEY Ai LAW ?

Divemardi aiso said that there is a committee at Appalachian which is looking at other aspects of transpor- tation in addition to parking. "There is an existing Alternative Transportation committee, which has been meeting all semester. They look at the larger transportation issue Divernardi said. Other issues included biking and walking routes, the free bus system and carpooling efforts. Some of the same measures being taken to alleviate the parking problem at Appalachian are being tried here at ECU. While we already have a bus sys- tem, Nix said there are plans to add five new buses next year and hopefully in- crease the usefulness of the bus routes. Also, most students have by now probably received the information from the office of traffic about carpooling next year. If students choose to utilize this, it could cut down on the number of commuter cars coming on campus. Of course, parking is not much of a problem over the summer. But once fall starts and the parking lots fill up past capacity, students who have com- plaints about the parking situation are encouraged by Nix to put their com- plaints in writing. "If they have problems with park- ing, I would like them to write me. The more I have in writing, the better it looks to the board she said, adding that ac- counts of verbal complaints she receives are not as convincing. "Most of the students don't real- ize that we can do something Nix said, trying to explain that the SGA can make changes if the students make their wishes known. She urges students to write to the SGA at their office on campus.

Three of the escorts were convicted of prostitution and sen- tenced to probation. Two escorts are awaiting trial. One ECU student was arrested and found not guilty. Teel said he thinks that the main motivation for running the agency was money. The agency charged $100 for a half hour of time with an escort and $150 for an hour.

Wednesday, June 5,1996 The East Carolinian l Our View Should a parking deck be added to the growing list of unfinished construction projects around campus? Most of the past couple semesters' headlines have re- volved around either SGA business or parking problems. We do have extensive coverage of the university, but these two particular issues are of vital interest to the student body. . . This opinion column deals with transit and parking problems, two areas that are of vital importance to the student body. In an article on the front page of this edition is a news story explaining the status of our woes in the area of parking. As the article explains, parking deck plans are still only in the theory stages. First of all, we have one of the only completely stu- dent-run transit services in North Carolina. Appearing caddy-corner to the parking deck story, is a story about our transit service. They may be in trouble with the law, but buses still make their rounds taking students back and forth to class. No $96 hunting, make that parking license. No mer- cenary parking ticket cops, licking their chops waiting for you to park in the wrong spot. All you have to do is walk to the corner and catch the bus. Your student fees are also paying the bill for all the convenience that transit offers. So you might as well take advantage of services you have already paid for. Of course the transit system is no help for commut- ers who either drive alone or carpool. They are still left circling campus side streets looking for someone to pull out But solutions are not jumping out of a hat It is estimated that each parking space in a deck would cost $7,000. One needs not a degree from the math de- partment to realize how fast the numbers add up. There are also plenty of unfinished construction sites around campus. Ones that should have been completed by now, but aren't. All we need to do is jump into an- other construction project. Let your ideas be known because there doesn't ap- pear to be any solutions. Everyone is scratching their heads trying to balance solving a huge parking problem and tremendous debt. j&k The East Carolinian ??

I do not vote! Please do not attempt to adjust your set, your reading glasses or whatever. I am afraid that all of my friends will now disown me and my driver's license might even be re- voked even though I haven't had a ticket in over three years. (I hope I didn't jinx myself.) Why should 1 vote? Rock the Vote- Whatever. Please someone write in and give me one reason that 1 should take three hours out of my day to go and check a little box that says that I am a Republican or a Demo- crat. Those two words now mean al- most nothing because of the particu- lar consensus that people should vote the issues. What does that mean? Anyone who runs for office and does not come to my house and tell me why I should vote for them is not deserving of my time. Is my message clear yet? This does not sound like apathy to me. Does it to you? Thert seems to be a thought out today that this generation is plagued by apathy. I haven't met an apathetic person in a very long time. There is move passion in this generation than there is tobacco in North Carolina. I think that MTV has simply at- tempted to produce this vision of an apathetic community that needs a place or a silly bus to drive them to vote. I am simply offended that MTV would send out a bur to get people to vote, and for what? They want us to vote for noth- ing. They do not care if people use their right to vote. MTV cares about MTV and about their image. They have fallen too far into the politically cor- rect toilet. They fear if they do not maintain their image as the icon for correctness that they will cease to make the millions that they do when our "apathetic" generation hops on board their stupid bus. MTV is here because of our lack of apathy. MTV exists because we have spent far to much time arguing about politics and silly issues that will take care of themselves. I just needed to get those thoughts off my chest. I feel so much better now. GP c ATTENTION STUDENTS ?

There's a new kid in town who's out to solve the mysteries. East Carolina's Professor Nancy Mayberry has been hot on the trail of a misplaced author. It seems that a play, entitled The Founder of the Hohj Conception, handwritten in Spanish in 1664. and bearing the name of Bias Fernandez de Mesa had surfaced in research by Mayberry who is a mem- ber of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. However. Mayberry believed that the manuscript had been unfairly con- tributed in the 18th century to the author Lope de Vega, regarded by some experts as Shakespeare's Span- ish counterpart. Mayberry says that her evidence indicating de Mesa was the author was based on the second part of the play, which was never published. This part mentioned the author as de Mesa, not de Vega. Also, in the 20th Century, de Vega's name was "listed as doubt- ful attribution she adds. Co Mayberry made a smart move and enlisted the help of the Greenville Police Department Detective Peter Lavin, a handwriting expert compared de Mesa's signature on the manuscript to his signature on city documents from his days as one of Toledo's city officers. And, although handwriting analy- sis is not an exact science, it did indi- cate that the signatures matched. Mayberry says she feels sure that the signature is authentic because on her last visit to Toledo, she was shown ' another play published by de Mesa in the 17th century. She says that by studying "the use of verse metrics and spellings both of the plays could be traced to the same author, de Mesa. Mayberry speculates that de Vega's name was used with the as- sumption that more plays would be sold if they were carrying the name of a well-known author. The new information identifying de Mesa as the author is useful be- cause it shows "flourishing theatre in Toledo, when theatre in Madrid had mostly been studied says Mayberry. The manuscript itself is important because it offers some of the "first con- temporary knowledge of the Spanish stage Mayberry adds. The Founder of the Holy Con- ception was published in book form earlier this year by Lang Publishing. Professor Mayberry is currently contemplating doing an article on the iconography of a portrait in the play. So watch out mystery fans, you never know what she might find next Photo Courtesy of Ripe & Ready Ominous Seapods, one of the bands performing at this weekend's Home Grown Music Festival, don their tribal headwear in preparation for the ancient photo shoot ritual. CD Reviews Bob Mould Bob Mould Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Everything old is new again. Let's face it the closer we get to the turn of the millennium, the more we love the past. Maybe it's an effort to understand where we've been be- fore we launch into the future. Or maybe it's an attempt to purge our cultural poisons before the apoca- lypse hits. Whichever (I'm betting on the latter), it's hard to deny that America is puking up the past like so much spoiled meat in the closing years of the 20th Century. It's especially ob- vious, as usual, in our music. Simultaneously, movements across the country are embracing the sound of Roaring '20s jazz age dance halls, martini soaked Frankie-and- Dino '50s lounge cheese, early '60s California surf guitar and, of course, the ever-present dull roar of 1970s post-hippie classic rock. The '70s retro movement is the most popular, as evidenced by bands ranging from Soundgarden to Phish (and the explosion of unfortu- nate fashions raging across the land). I guess this form is big- gest because the itiumc is relatively easy to play, and because that It's hard to deny that America is puking up the past like so much spoiled meat. It's especially obvious, as usual, in our music. "classic rock" sound refuses to lie down and die like the mongrel dog it is. Or maybe it's just the drugs. At any rate, all these movements have one thing in common: they cel- ebrate the most hedonistic periods of the century. More fun was prob- ably had in these eras than at any others in recent history. Of course, they probably spawned more addic- tions and venereal diseases, too, but we don't really think about that. No, we think of the personal freedom these eras represent, the freedom to jut revel in pleasure and to hell with Elvis Costello and the Attractions All This Useless Beauty the world. That may explain why a decade like the 1980s isn't really being cel- ebrated anywhere except VH-1. The '80s were a period of massive greed (another kind of hedonism, I sup- pose), but also of social repression. While people stockpiled money and the trinkets it buys like Scrooge McDuck on a big pile of uppers, the wild energy and sexual heat that pow- ered previous eras was kept bottled up tight. Such an evil, constipated decade was sure to spawn some great angry music, and the '80s didn't let us down. I don't mean the sugary-happy pop crap that MTV rammed down our throats in its wonder years. No, I'm talking about the underground, the place where our current "alternative" movement was born. Two of the stars of that angry young underground were undoubt- edly Bob Mould of Husker Du and Elvis Costello. All of which goes to show that ev- erything old really is new again, because both of these gentle- men are back in the record stores with new albums this sum- mer. And they're just as pissed off as ever. Costello, back for the second time in as many years with the Attractions, his original band, ?mam a inirmriT sounds particularly bitter on his new release, All This Useless Beauty. And Mould is actu- ally a step ahead of Elvis in the an- ger department with his new self- titled effort. No mean feat, consider- ing Costello's old rep as the angry young man. Both albums, ultimately, are about betrayal: the betrayal of love, the betrayal of ideals, the betrayal of innocence. In "You Bowed Down Costello A Drop Bucket "4 Drop in the Bucket" is just what it claims to be: a very tiny drop in the great scream- ing bucket of American media opinion. Take it as you will.

Hall Staff Writer deals with a relationship gone sour See OU) page 7 Recently, I've developed a fear of the human body and at the same time an admiration for the human spirit. For some bizarre reason, I've lately spent a great deal of my time in the emergency room of Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Last summer, I broke my ankle; a few months ago, I suffered a fever of over 103 degrees; about two weeks ago, my fiance nearly collapsed from dehydration; and just last weekend, my younger sister dislocated her elbow from a nasty fall. As a result of these unwel- come events, I've pondered how frail the human body is. Think about how easy it is for any one of us to die. A deep enough hole in the right place and it's all over. As strong and as healthy as most of us may feel throughout our lives, our very existence is trapped in a fragile shell that can crack under the smallest pres- sure. Believe me, it did not take much for my ankle to snap like a piece of uncooked spaghetti. To make matters worse, I also realize that doing something as simple as eating can kill me. Dateline recently covered a story about the dangers of undercooked meat Did you know that germs affect the human body so extensively that even if a spatula makes contact with undercooked meat it can be transformed into a reeking uten- sil of death? When I really thought about it, I frightened myself. The human body is the great equalizer. We all get sick, we all can break our bones, and we all will die. no matter what our class, ethnicity or sex is. Whiie I've al- ways realized this fact, it wasn't until my recent visits to the lo- cal emergency room that 1 no- ticed how ERs. to a certain ex- tent, are cultural common grounds. Sure, if you have the money you can call up your doc- tor and sneak right into a hospi- tal without the emergency room wait. Still, I witnessed all walks of life during my stay at the ER. The people 1 waited with were all there for the same thing: See DROP page 7 How would you like to see a good rock & roll show and contrib- ute to charity, too? Well, you might get your chance this weekend. Fri- day and Saturday nights. Peasant's Cafe and the Attic will play host to ten of the hottest local and district bands in the 1996 Home Grown Mu- sic Festival. Greenville's hometown artists are the focus of this year's activities, and from the looks of things it could be even better than last year. Lead- ing the card is Purple Schoolbus, followed by bands like Ominous Seapods, Agents of Good Roots, Moon Boot Lover, Yep Knocked Down Smilin' and more. Also appear- ing is another of Greenville's favor- ites, Keller Williams, a man who over the past nine years has been perform- ing with bands all over the east coast, jamming out a style of music he calls "Acoustic Rhythm and Groove Of all the bands to perform at Home Grown. Melanie Sparks seems more fired up than anyone. After a year with her band, Sparks has been both on the road and in the studio. But the band isn't her only focus. She also has a family. Even though her six-year-old son thinks she should be a fire chief instead, Melanie appreci- ates his interest in her and stays fo- cused on long term goals. Those goals include hitting the road to per- haps New York in August, or as she put.it "As soon as the CD is done But Homegrown could not take place if it weren't for the man who started it all. Lee Crumpton started piomoting music at age 16. After working at ECU's own WZMB and receiving a communications degree. Crumpton set out to make it all hap- pen. He joined the team at WSFL and started the Sunday night alternative program. After a lot of response and taking over Purple Schoolbus' record label, Crumpton formed his own busi- ness and network, The Home Grown Music Network. "The bands have all taken many different influences from all different genres of music all over the world Crumpton said of the groups who will be performing. If one thing impresses thisjman, it is improvisation. So don't expect to hear the Home Grown bands play songs exactly as they are on their records. But Home Grown is more than just another show. Peasant's and the Attic also try to do their bit to help the community. The proceeds from this year's event will go to Tender Evaluation Diagnosis Intervention for BEtter Abuse Response (TEDI BEAR). This organization has helped and treated hundreds of abused chir- dren from 29 counties in Eastern NC. So come out to see the bands, but remember that they're really per- forming for charity. There's no rea- son you can't have fun and do a good deed, too. 3?- ")9twce IRevietv The Postman delivers drama Jay Myers Assistant Lifestyle Editor Wake up, Emerald City! There's actually a good movie playing in town and if you don't hurry up and catch it chances are it will disappear. Why is it that out of the three crappy theaters we have in town (four if you count the Park, which is actually the best theater of them all), we can't manage to get any film that doesn't have big explosions or cute animals or some no-talent idiot from a TV sitcom in it? Two easy answers. First one guy owns all of the the- aters. Second, apparently nobody goes to see any of those few good films that actually make it here. "If it ain't making any money, then we ain't gonna have it here" has become the standard policy. Well, if you're like me, and I pray that some of you are. you'll rush out today and see The Postman, which is playing at the Plaza. Let's send a message to the Greenville theaters that we want a better selection on our big screens and that we're willing to pay for it Otherwise we're doomed to endless amounts of Steven Seagal and Arnold or Flipper and Willy. Nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Pic- ture. Best Actor, and Best Director), The Postman (or II Postino) is an elegant story about the relationship between a famous poet and his mailman and is not to be missed. Set in 1952. it concerns the arrival of Pablo Neruda (played by Philippe Noiret), the Nobel Prize-win- ning Chilean poet in a small Italian island village after being exiled by his government for his communist politics. While there, Neruda greatly influences the life of his postman. Mario Ruoppolo (wonderfully portrayed by Massimo Troisi). Since most of the village is illiterate and they have almost no contact with the outside world, it is only Neruda whore ceives artv mail. Mario, who is dissatisfied with being a fisher- man like his father, takes on the job of being his postman. Over time the two become friends, discussing poetry, politics and relationships. Mario's worldview is greatly broadened by-this experience and he makes an effort to become a poet as well, mostly to win the heart of Beatrice, a local waitress (played Maria Grazia Cucinotta). The advertisements for the film make it seem as though the story is about the love between Mario and Beatrice, but actually it is about the profound effect that Neruda has on Mario's life, and Mario's devotion to him afterwards. With this film, director Michael Radford (best known for directing the film version of George Orwell's 1984) has sur- passed all of his former work. There is an austere, yet simplis- tic, beauty to each shot Whether the frame is centered around Mario's weathered and naive face or the craggy face of the cliffs surrounding the island, each picture is captured and held in such a way that they become instantly etched in the viewer's memory- Radford isn't afraid to hold the audience with silence ei ther. Silence onlv works in film if it becomes as important as the dialogue that surrounds it In The Postman, the reflective moments shared between characters ring with as much sincer ity (if not more) than the actual words they speak to each other. Massimo Troisi's understated performance as Mano be- comes the cornerstone of the film and in order to truly grasp the immensity of what is happening to him, the audience must See POST page 7 mmmmmmmB Wednesday, June 5, 1996 The Ease Carolinian r Looming Vlti.H ti us Coming soon for your edification and amusement- Wednesday, June 5 Bus Stop and Catfish Jenkins at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Thursday, June 6 "Hill Thrill- Top Gun on College Hill FREE ECU Faculty Jazz Ensemble at Staccato Cafe and Grille Everything at the Attic Unwound, Blonde Redhead, The Great Unravelling and Mocket at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Grover at Farside in Wilmington Beyond at The Manor in Wilmington Friday, June 7 "? ason of Summer" Art Exhibit through August at Clark Gallery Keller Williams at CD Alley Melanie Sparks, Keller Williams and Purple Schoolbus at the Attic Ominous Seapods and Percy Hill at Peasant's Cafe Flying Nuns and Poundcake at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Slobberbone at Bessie's in Wilmington Saturday, June S Summer Fantastic Arts and Crafts Show at the Town Commons Melanie Sparks at CD Alley Spacefish, Knocked Down Smilin' and Moon Boot Lover at the Attic Keller Williams, yeP! and Agents of Good Roots at Peasant's Cafe The Specials, Suicide Machine and Regatta 69 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro L.U.N.G.S. at The Manor in Wilmington Sunday, June 9 Dog's Eye View at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Tuesday, June 11 Last of the Mohicans at Hendrix Theatre FREE Dr. Zaius and The Testosterones at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Students turn to job hunting on the internet (CPS) Leafing through classified ads. Trekking across campus to the career center to check the latest job listings. Mailing out stacks of re sumes. To Sara Sutton and Rachel Bell, it didn't make any sense that job hunting should be such a hassle. So, the two college students decided to do something about it Sutton, a junior at the Univer- sity of California-Berkeley, and Bell, also a junior at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, took a year off from school to establish JobDirect, an Internet-based placement service that officially launched in mid-May. "We were talking about this whole job process said Sutton, of herself and Bell, a childhood friend. "We saw the stress of the job hunt" With JobDirect, students can fill out an online resume form, listing information such as their major and activities. They also can check their area of interest whether it's business, law or sports. The information is stored in a database for companies to peruse, and can be updated by the student at any time. Also, the site's database sorts through job listings and places good matches in student's in-boxes, Sutton said. To date, she and Bell have re- cruited 25-50 companies - larger ones like AT&T and Xerox, as well as small- to medium sized businesses - who plan to use JobDirect. Their site joins a variety of other career place- ment sites already on the Net Increasingly, students are turn- ing to the Internet for their job search, as more and more companies are turning into cyberspace to recruit employees, say college placement of- ficers. Jeannette Fromnv.a graduate student in computer science at the University of Dayton, accepted a job offer as a programmer after only a two-month job hunt, conducted en- tirely online. "The previous times I had been looking for a job, I would have to go to the UD Placement Center dur- ing the hours they were open, make copies of job listings, and take them home to work with Fromm said. But this time, by checking web sites created by variety of career place- ment services, she was able to switch on her computer and look for jobs at any time of the day - whether it was in the morning before classes or late at night. Job searching on the Internet has been increasingly popular among stu- dents in the past six months, accord- ing to Sue Borgert, assistant director of job development in the UD Career Placement Center. "More companies are posting job listings, more web sites are offering job searches, and more students are using the Net to post their resume and iand a job she said. Chris Wiley, who works with UD alumni searching for career opportu- nities, said that when job listings first began to appear online, they were primarily for technical positions. "Now we're seeing more and more of any type of position she said. "Students increasingly are using the Internet because job listings are constantly updated and available 24 hours a day Borgert added. "By using the Net, job hunters also demonstrate that they have skills in online research, a relatively new talent that many companies are seek- ing she said. A student can check out the vari- ety of job placement services on the Net by clicking on.a search engine such as Yahoo or Excite, then using a keyword search such as "jobs" or "ca- reers For example, the site CareerPath was created by six major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, and features more than 40,000 job listings. NationJob's site features a little guy named RJ. (that's short for Per- sonal Job) Scout who will find job list- ings that match a user's credentials and send them via e-mail.

UlvO JT from page 5 the miracles of the medical commu- nity. Okay, setting a bone may not equate with a miracle, but it still is pretty amazing. When I found my sis- ter lying on the floor, her arm was useless and riddled with pain. I was afraid to touch it, and she sure as hell couldn't move it. The doctors and nurses at PCMH took my sister in and worked their magic on her. They were all courteous, hardworking and dedicated to their jobs. Everyone there had a job to do, and they did it without question or attitude. After the diagnosis on my sister's arm was made, the ER staff did their best to relax her and ease her pain before they did what I was unable, and admittedly unqualified, to do. With a strong tug on her arm, the bone popped back in joint and immediate relief crept into my sister's body. While there was more work to be done on her arm, the immediate problem was gone. My sister was no longer in pain. I couldn't help but admire the doctors and nurses who helped my sister, my fiance, me, and everyone else waiting out in the lobby. Their job isn't glorious and it isn't without its faults. They have to deal with the sick, and the hurt on a daily basis, and they don't always win the battles. They are only humans with their own limitations, and they make mistakes. Still, the dedication displayed in their work deserves some sort of praise other than the glory of hit TV shows like ER and Chicago Hope. I give that praise to the staff at PCMH and the medical community at large. I may fear the frailties of the hu- man body, but the human spirit seems to be dealing with these limi- tations quite effectively. Still, I hope I never have to set foot in any ER again.

Athletes participate in events such as baseball, basketball, track and field and swim- ming. While the games in Atlanta prom- ise to be exciting, you will probably not see any extreme sports listed in the events. Extreme sports are hot and are growing in popularity. Extreme sports, also known as alternative sports, include events such as aggressive in-line skating, extreme adventure racing, skateboarding, street luge, skysurfing, sport climbing, snow boarding and water sports like kite skiing, barefoot jumping and windsurfing.

This word au- tomatically conjures up images of overblown, muscle-bound ste- roid freaks, or maybe Hans and Franz of "Saturday Night Live" fame, or even the king body- builder himself: Arnold Schwartzenegger. There is much more to body- building than the stereotypical posing oil. bikini trunks and drugs. Bodybuilding has become a huge part of the booming fit- ness industry and is fast becom- ing recognized as a sport. People across America have picked up the dumbbells to make themselves stronger, more muscular and achieve overall fit- ness. This recent surge of body- building for fitness is greatly at- tributed to the efforts of Arnold, who was at one time Chairman of the President's Council on Fitness and is currently the Cali- fornia state chairman, and Joe Weider. Any male who has tried to gain weight by drinking protein shakes has heard of Joe Weider. Weider is the number one ty- coon in bodybuilding merchan- dise and has a countless line of food supplements, vitamins and protein shakes and is the pub- lisher of several bodybuilding magazines. Weider's promotion for bodybuilding contests including the Mr. America, Mr. Universe and Mr Olympia competitions is legendary. Thanks to Weider, bodybuilders can now make a liv- ing solely on the sport; the Mr. Olympia title has a paycheck of SI Ki.OOO to the winner. The part of bodybuilding that is the traditional display of muscle in the competition arena has changed drastically over the years. When bodybuilding first started, there were no such things as steroids. Bodybuilders See OUTLOOK page 9 roller blades).

IRec Sewtce& David Gaskins Rec Services The intramural sports calendar for the first summer session got un- derway last week with action in soft- ball and 5-on-5 basketball. A host of teams will brave the heat in an attempt to conquer all comers and capture the champion- ship. In basketball, the returning champions from last summer, the team mostly intact, encountered some problems in their first contest as they were upset by "Yo' Guts" 55- 52. However, they recovered in their second game of the week to whip "Flossin and reestablish themselves as a contender. However, the top team in the early going appears to be "The Elite Squad"as Raymond Parnther has assembled some top players and can beat teams in a variety of ways. This cat-quick team is known for their five guard offense. pressure defense and relentless fast break. Chris Pressley is ex- pected to run the point guard position and will be comple- mented by the scoring of Der- rick Harris and Rodney Young and the knuckleball jump shot of Quinton "Q" Manley. However, the top team in the early going ap- pears to be "The Elite Squad as Raymond Parnther has assembled some top players and can beat teams in a variety of ways. Brian Levering is a dominant inside scorer and Brian Whitfield provides steady backcourt play while Jason Boyd, Matt Wecker and Anthony "Ant" Barnett are ex- cellent open-court scorers. Matt Crisp returned for his 25th anniversary sea- son of IM basketball on "Yo' Guts" and went through a week of ups and downs. After upsetting the defending champions in their first game, they lost both the game and their compo- sure in a 51-39 defeat to the "Elite Squad Crisp's unit is lead by slasher Sam Stewart and high flying Jonathan Wright. Although they lost their first two games. "Flossin" still features the shooting and talking of Kevin Evans, the steady play of Dorian Locklear and martial arts experts Terrence Evins and Ivan Evans. Men's Purple appears to be somewhat balanced but several teams stepped to the top in early contests. The "TPK's" are the early favorites as they won their only game of the week. This team has a long-cultivated chemistry and veteran leadership supplied by Brad Thompson, Brian Manning and Robbie Kennedy. "Alpha Sigma Phi" was the only other team in Purple to go through the first week without a loss, riding the playmaking skills of Brian Jones and the hustle of Eric Whaley. Chris Brantley's "Mighty Possums" dropped two com- petitive contests while Tim Meyler's "Old Tim- ers" fell in a high- scoring affair with "Alpha Sig How- ever, the team to watch in Purple will be Sonny Burgess's "Cul- ture Club Al- though they lost their first game of the week, they have the division's most dominant Five-on- Five Intramural hoops!

While the league schedule is well underway, mystery still surrounds the location of the legendary Vu "Captain Trifector" Donie. Word has it that Donie is enrolled in summer school, but a late breaking rumor from ESPN was that he has been hired as a special assistant coach with the Orlando Magic to assist NBA All- Star Shaquille O'Neal with his free throw shooting woes during the off- season and will not be available for the l.M season.

Edwards, a four-year letterman for the Pirates, led the team in four offensive categories in "96. The Pi- rate co-captain led the team and ranked third in the Colonial Athletic Association with a .369 batting av- erage. He also led the Pirates in RBIs (33), triples (4) and stolen bases (21). Dunham, like Edwards, also led the '96 Pirates in several categories, the sophomore right-hander, led the Pirate pitching staff in several categories, includ- ing a career-high 97 strikeouts which ranked second among CAA pitchers. He also led the team in ERA (3.10). wins (8). complete games (8). shutouts (2) and innings pitched (98.2). Both players were also named to the 1996 All- Colonial Athletic Association first team at the annual CAA awards banquet earlier in May. With their All- East Regional selection. Edwards and Dunham will now appear on the 1996 All-America ballot. SID-Sue Manahan. who has directed the ECU softbali program the past 15 years, has resigned from her position, effective July 1. Manahan. who guided the Lady Pirates to a record of 470-260-4 from 1982 through this past season, is leaving her post to pursue her interest in interna- tional missionary work. "I would like to thank the East Carolina Univer- sity administration for the support I received in my 15 years as head coach of this softbali program said Manahan. "I feel that God is calling me to the mis- sion field of Venezuela to work with young athletes Manahan's ECU team finished as runners-up in the 1996 Big South Conference Tournament. Her teams have turned in three consecutive seasons of at least 40 wins. In 15 years, only one Manahan-coached team experienced a losing record (18-20 in 1989). "We certainly want to thank Sue Manahan for all of her service to East Carolina University and for the job she did in directing our softbali program said Sports Information Department East Carolina Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick. A 1973 graduate of Longwood College, Manahan coached six years at Douglas Freeman High School in Richmond, Va prior to coming to ECU. Her high school coaching record was 69-12, including one Virginia State Championship. Hamrick said the search to hire a new coach would begin immediately. SID-The ECU men's 4x400 relay team finished its season at the NCAA Track and Field Cham- pionships late Thursday night, when it failed to advance from its qualifying heat. The Pirates finished sixth in thier heat with a time of 3:15.48. That was well behind the time of first place finisher Oklahoma (3:04.94). the relay team was made u of sprinters Lewis Har- ris. Brian Johnson, Dwight Henry, and Damon Davis. All four sprinters are underclassmen, so the Pirates should field another excellent relay team again next season. SID - ECU softbali player Tracie Podratsky has been named the 1996 Sports Information Director's Nike Scholar-Athlete Award winner in the Big South Conference for her excellence both in the classroom and on the softbali diamond. The Big South Conference awarded eight student athletes in each of its sponsored spring sports. Podratsky. who helped guide the Lady Pirates to a 40-21-1 season and was member of the 1996 First Team All-Big South squad, is an elementary education major with a cumulative 3.47 grade point average. In addition. Podratsky led the pitching staff with a .762 winning percentage and a 16-5 record. The Centreville.

In Arnold's day, certain steroids were available, but only experimen- tally. Today, steroid use is rampant, even though there is random drug testing in some competitions. This has taken the sportsman- ship out of bodybuilding. The goal now is to see how big and massive you can get by taking more drugs than your competitors. In the old days, contestants were judged on symmetry, proportion and presenta- tion as well as mass and definition. Weider currently is pushing for bodybuilding to become an Otympic sport. If this were to come about, everyone competing would be drug tested. This would be a great display of fair play and the human spirit, which is what sports should be all about Everyone (well, most people) would like to realize their physical potential and develop their bodies not to inhuman proportions, but to look the best they can look with what they naturally have. Only a small percentage of bodybuilders in the world are good enough to com- pete on the stage. The average body- building person competes only against their self, and this is what I think makes bodybuilding one of mankind's greatest and most re- spectable sports.

The men's league features three veteran units known for their many years of participation. Richard Ray, fresh from finish- ing as runner-up for Softball Manager of the Year honors in the spring, will lead the "Gamecocks" with his strat- egy and savvy decisions. The "Gamecocks" will feature the bats of Scott Leonard and Cory Sink and the sly pitching of Lance "Spitball" Ward. However, an equally gifted genius in Bobby Williams cap- tains "Ten Greatest Hits and he will be ably abetted by the offensive skills of Wes Crawford and Todd Boyd. As always, where there's softball, Eddie Coble and Steve Lovett can be found. However, Mike Norwood of the "Cavemen" has pulled out the checkbook and signed these two free agents for big bucks. Norwood has also recruited hitting talent in Mark Wortham and will once again have Scott Freeman roaming the outfield in one last valiant attempt to win a softball t-shirt. In Co-Rec, John Whitehead's "Economics Society" lost their first game, but bring back for another summer some of their familiar stars in Diane Mahoney and hot-hitting Lester Zeager. Joe Angelon captains "Paisons" and will rely on Trish Roche for hitting and leadership. Scott Batchelor will manage the "Purple People Eaters" which leads the league in coaches with hoopsters Gaynor O'Donnell, Ginny Doyle, and Charisse Mapp punctuating the ros- ter.

However, a host of player changes provides many questions for this unit. Captain Melissa Dawson signed super free agent Mike "Glove Wizard" Edwards, a new full-time staffer who had been playing in Japan earlier in the year, to add some skill to the de- fense and pop to the offense. Shelley Teachey and Laura Steimle are also expected to be top female hitters for this team. Several events are upcoming during the first summer session. The Frisbee Golf Singles tourney's second day of play will be held today, June 5, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Frisbee Golf Course.
