Across The State WASHINGTON (AP) - Drunken driving deaths were up last year for the first time in a decade, a study released yesterday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows The total number of people killed in 1995 in alcohol-related crashes was 17.274, the report said. That's a I percent increase from 1994. The number of drunken driv- ing deaths is down from a decade ago by 28 percent. The percentage of alchohol- related deaths compared to the total number of highway accident deaths also increased slightly to 41 percent in 1995. The change stands out from the steady decade of decline in the percentage, from 52.2 percent in 1986 to 40.8 per- cent in 1994. WASHINGTON (AP) - College and university officials were tapped by the FBI in the early 1960s for information on Mark Lane, a lawyer retained by Lee Harvey Oswald's mother to clear her son's name, according to records released yesterday. The records are among a batch of 141 FBI documents and 33 CIA documents released by the Assassination Records Review- Board, which is compiling a pub- lic record of President Kennedy's assassination. Some of the infor- mation has previously been re- leased. The FBI documents offer a glimpse of the bureau's extensive efforts to track Lane's public ap- pearances in 1964. during the Warren Commission's investiga- tion of the Nov. 22. 1963. assassi- nation.

Scouts for the team looked at other North Carolina cities, including the N.C. State and Duke University campuses, for potential training sites for the team. Greenville was selected for the superior facility ECU had to offer, as well as Greenville's "off-the- beaten-path" location and for what it had to offer the athletes during the time that they are not in training. The team set tentative practice times twice a day from 9:30 a.m. to 1 1:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. "Most, if not all. practices will be open to the public Delia said.

Schreiber said the services at first were very clumsy and rudimentary, but through the years the program has grown. "Now the university has a national recognition in terms of the support ser- vices that we provide Schreiber said.

Twenty of eastern North Carolina's rising high school freshmen and sophomores were selected for the Ventures Into Health Careers program. The program, designed to intro- duce highly motivated and disadvan- taged youths to various health care careers, ran from June 16-29. "Before the program, I knew 1 wanted to be a doctor Lauren Price, a freshman from White Oak High School in Jacksonville, said, "but I wasn't sure I was ready for it" The program is open to disadvan- taged black, Hispanic and Native American students from the region. The Ventures program allowed participants to gain first hand experi- ence in what it is like to work in health professions. In addition to attending classes in math, science and commu- nication, participants followed doc- tors, nurses and physical therapists on rounds in mental and health de- partments and at Pitt County Memo- rial Hospital. "If participants have the infor- mation on what it takes to be a health care professional, then they can make a good decision in high school about their academic curriculum Debbie Ramey, Ventures program coordina- tor, said. "We were seeing years ago. when there was a big need for health care professionals, that they (students) weren't prepared when they enrolled in the community colleges or univer- sities which forced students to spend time in remedial studies, Ramey said. The program began three years ago to address the concern toward the disproportionate number of mi- nority health care workers to the mi- nority population. The program aims to increase the number of minorities entering health care professions. "In eastern North Carolina, we have a large minority population, and in many cases, they are in rural un- deserved areas Ramey said. "We hope someone who comes from there would want to return home to prac- tice Students interested in the pro- gram must currently be enrolled in either eighth or ninth grade and nave no less than a B grade point average. They must also have the recommen- dation of a counselor or teacher, com- plete an application and essay, as well as show an interest in health careers. Out of nearly 200 applicants, only 20. eight boys and 12 girls, were selected for the program. By the end of the two-week ses- sion, most participants had found their niche in various health care pro- fessions. "I've found out about careers that 1 didn't even know existed Rob- ert White of New Bern said. Before the program, Robert considered a career in business. Now he said he is interested in biomedical engineering Simone Brown, a West Craven High School student decided on a career while accompanying a local doctor on rounds.

The sessions provide po- tential students with information about admissions documents, de- gree options, and financial aid. "A lot of the students are older students who need to know what kind of financial aid is available, and what aid is tailored towards their needs said Denney. Other areas that the informa- tion sessions cover are the subjects of advising, since the program pro- vides post-admission advising and advising throughout the student's career. Advising is based in the Weekend University office, located in the Erwin Building. Denney said that the program is not just for adults who want to begin a degree, but is also open to others who began a degree in the past and simply want to finish their education. Weekend University of- fers a total of four undergraduate degrees. "We have a three to five year rotation schedule, and everything that's required for the major is fit into that time span Denney said. "Students can finish their degrees in as little as three years while they attend on the weekends, or they can take up to five or six years, depend- ing on their needs Weekend classes will be held on Friday nights and Saturdays. Infor- mation sessions also cover the schedule of classes. The classes on Saturday are broken into sections from 8 to 11 a.m 11:15 to 2:15 p.m and 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Students have the option of taking these classes with a combination of other classes offered during the weekdays.

Learning sign language is just as difficult as learning any other lan- guage. "American Sign Language is in fact just like any other legitimate language. It has its own grammar, syntax, and a culture that supports it Schreiber said. Mr. Michael Lupo, who is an educa- tional specialist in the department for disability support services and teaches sign language classes, agrees with Schreiber's assessment He said that the sign language minor offered here at ECU will prepare students only for the most elementary communication. "The sign language minor students can only hold a basic conversation in sign language Lupo said. Both Schreiber and Lupo said that their program will provide a good base for students who are planning to con- tinue their study elsewhere. "The interpreters that we use nowa- days have gone through our training program, but they've also become pro- fessionals in their own right" Schreiber said. Lupo said that there are places for further study for those who wanted it "They would go to Gallaudet Uni- versity, or the National Technical Insti- tute for the Deaf Lupo said. "The ideal interpreting program would be four years of American Sign Language only, and then a Master's degree in interpreting Both Schreiber and Lupo also elabo- rated on the other areas that are ad- dressed in the pre-interpreter minor, such as the ethical issues involved in being an interpreter. "There's a code of ethical conduct which is drilled into students from he moment they get into pre-interpreting classes, and it's reinforced and examined from ten different angles Schreiber said. "Everything is confidential. An in- terpreter has to go in and be profes- sional Lupo said. Prospective interpreters can take exams to be officially certified, although certification is not a requirement to be an interpreter. On the state level, there are two different exams, the Educational Interpreter Certification and the Com- munity Interpreter Certification. There is also an exam given by a national orga- nization, Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. For interpreters who find jobs in special fields, such as legal or medical, they would need to have a background in the appropriate vocabulary. The best way to learn sign language, both Schreiber and Lupo agree, is to go where it is being used. Just as learning a foreign language is most productive in the country in which it is spoken, a sign language student will have the most suc- cess when among other sign language practitioners. As ECU'S program for deaf and hard-of-hearing students demon- strates, there is a need for people who can communicate in sign. Both Schreiber and Lupo agreed the need for good professional interpreters is high.

Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary The minimum wage is due to increase soon, but that still won't help meet the costs of attending college. In a time when the Chief Executive Officers of some of our leading corporations are making over 200 times the amount of money that their average employee takes home, it seems a bit ridiculous for Congress to be haggling over a mere 90 cents. We wonder why Congress should be the decision-maker in this process. When was the last time a Senator made minimum wage? It it was about a decade ago, then he or she would have been making about 90 cents less than the minimum wage is now. That's right, 90 cents. Ten years ago the minimum wage was a whopping $3.35. Today it's gone up to the unbelievably high $4.25. That means that a minimum wage earner working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks would bring in $8,840, before taxes. No Christmas holiday, no Thanksgiving break, and especially no July 4th off for that lucky stiff. No siree, they would have to work eight hours a day. five days a week to garner that fat paycheck. They would be lucky to if they could take a weekend off once a month. Ten years ago that same person would have made $6,698 for the year. But think about the standard of living back then. Although it was the '80s when everything seemed to cost an arm and a leg, it wasn't nearly as much as it is now. Reagan was in the middle of his second term and prices were begin- ning to skyrocket, but the financial crunch didn't come along until Bush was in office. Seven thousand dollars would have gone much farther at that time then nine thousand dollars goes in 1996. Now, a bill passed the House of Representatives in May that would raise the minimum wage another 90 cents over the next two years to a total of $5.15 per hour. That's $10,712 a year for our hard-working friend mentioned above. Not great bv any means, but a start What does that mean to us, the students of East Carolina University? Well if you're here, that means you've already taken an incredible risk. Getting a college education isn't cheap, and taking on that expense is dangerous. Either someone is paying for you to be here, or you're paying for it yourself, or you're using financial aid to help meet the expense of attending col- lege. , , If someone is paying your way through, then you re one of the lucky ones. You probably won't need to get a job to supple- ment your income (as well as get in the way of your classwork) and you hopefully won't have any debt hanging over your head when you get out If you're paying for it yourself, then you already know the harsh reality of minimum wage and how far it will get you. If you're going to school full-time, then more than likely you only have a part-time job, which also means there is a good chance you're making minimum to boot Of course, you could be full- time, but that's a shame because it can really cut into your studies. Even if you aren't making minimum now, you probably did when you started, so you're savings may not be that much. If you're on financial aid, then the actual monetary con- cern may not hit you until you leave the university and have to pay off those loans. But pay you will, and you better pray that you're making more than minimum wage when those bills come Needless to say, the minimum wage isn't nearly enough for most people to live on in this country. In fact that 40 hour per week worker might be classified as earning a wage that is be- low poverty level. To raise the minimum wage by a mere $1.80 in 12 years is criminal, especially considering the exponential increase in the cost of living. Yet despite all of these despairing remarks, we should feel comforted that we live in North Carolina, not only because the cost of living here is so low in comparison to many parts ot the country North Carolina has one of the lowest percentages of hourly workers making at or below minimum wage in the en- tire South. We come in at about four percent, whereas Missis- sippi and Alabama are over double that at eight and half and nine percent respectively.

Cosmic Clinton delivers overdue laugh ? -???????? lI" .?rtUw4 nr,A nav' WP n3 In an election year, there always seems to be a new standard set in the media's theater of the absurd. Just when I thought that Gerald Ford's cabinet meetings with his dog and Nancy Reagan's meanderings were the ultimate in political ha-ha's, we find Mrs. Clinton breaking through to the other side. All it took was Bob Woodward's new book The Choice to open up a can of beans that consisted of Hillary talking to Eleanor Roosevelt through some spiritual exercise. So. is this some diabolical republican smear campaign, or is it all just a comic footnote in an already stressful year? Boy, I'd have to say that media is just having a little fun. With the Unabomber and a rash of church burnings as the daily head- lines, the First Lady's eccentric prac- tices are a welcome relief. Hillary practices a simple meditation process called visualization. This technique is commonly used by athletes to so- lidify their goals. There is no ritual involved, nor are any sacrifices neces- sary; it is a focus enhancer. What is so funny is that the media knows that, but that's alright because ultimately this is good press for the Clintons. Hillary has to appreciate every news magazine in the nation putting her picture right next to Eleanor Roosevelt This is exactly what she Anthony Slade Opinion Columnist So, is this some diabolical republican smear campaign, or is it all just a comic footnote in an already stressful year? needs in the wake of the Whitewater circus. Maybe that's why so many republicans have been rallying to Mrs. Clinton's defense. They must certainly be aware of the fact that it's in her husband's favor to be sharing the bill with one of the great names in 20th century politics. Unfortunately , the elephants haven't been so lucky and would gladly have this media atten- tion laid to rest This media spoof has done little damage in ail reality. Actually. 1 can't help but find Hillary that much more appealing because of her New Age exercises. The 18-to 25-year-old gen- eration has been waiting for a slightly more hep figurehead and now we have one. Besides, all the concrete meth- ods of political reform have been ex- hausted. What's wrong with a little spiritual healing if it stops the bleed- ing in Washington? Bi'l and Hillary should take this thing and go with it. How about Seance Across America? We can all hold hands and contact Lincoln. What about National Yoga Day? Me and Bill on the Whitehouse lawn in the Mantra. These are just some suggestions for the visionaries out there. Change is good. Ultimately, the press has just de- livered a light-hearted punchline. No harm, no foul. Perhaps the media possesses an uncanny knack for know- ing when America needs a tension breaker. It's something that keeps Saturday Night Live on the map and our democratic juggernaut rolling. Soon enough it will be time to put ail kidding aside and si.art digging into the real mud-sling of November. None of this other-worldly escapade should be taken into account when you launch your ballot. It's just a nice piece of democratic memorabilia to put in your back-pocket for a day when laughs are scarce. Until then, we should all keep our fingers crossed that Hillary's next cosmic contact will be with J.D. Rockefeller, asking to help bail us out. ?90s Women more than sex machines ? ? cue pv. fashion model ? The , public doesn't want reporters and editors withhold information and give them only what they 'need' to know. The public wants it all. And the news media are doing a better job than ever telling everything they know ? - Charles L. Overby, President, The Freedom Forum, 1994 Are women sex objects? Do we ask to be treated as pleasurable ob- jects for the opposite sex? Head out on any Thursday night in downtown Greenville and it would appear that we are all in- volved in a huge sex market. It feels like a human assembly line with the viewers selecting the merchandise as we pass by. "Oh. I'll take the tall dark man with the yellow shirt, and add the Italian man for dessert with cream on top We are seen as purely sexual toys. I find this scene and the recent media atten- tion of men and women completely degrading. I thought the modern women of the '90s were intelligent, think- ing people of any color or shape who defined themselves not by their bed-buddies and style, but by their own character, career, goals and compassion. But. it the ideal woman is displayed by many women's magazines these days, my view doesn't hold water. Look at a recent Cosmopolitan cover: "The Mayflower Madam re- veals 16 surefire ways to please men Glamour's cover screams: "His orgasm, what makes it ?ood. better. GREAT Eleven other women's magazine covers now on newsstands also trumpet sex as sport, affairs as routine (and how- to lie and conceal the deceit) or Jennifer Hunt Opinion Columnist Orgasms are wonderful in the right context. porn stars as celebrities. Of course, most women's mags have long used romance, love, fam- ily and sex as mainstays, but now some are pushing the limits of de- cency. They're becoming more taw- dry and displaying women more as bodies, without souls or minds. If women accept these images of themselves, they are losing the battle against rape, domestic vio- lence and sexual harassment. Advertisements in other peri- odicals are busy playing the sex game. ?Many of the ads are as close to pornographic as you can get some ads display women as help- less objects, having to look good and be sexually available to men ays ex-fashion model Ann Simonton of Media Watch (quote appeared in USA Today). Another often-heard criticism is that women's magazines, which sell glamour and depend heavily on cos- metic ads, help create an unrealis- tic image for women, shutting out their pages to women who are eld- erly, disabled, homely or over- weight. No wonder a recent sur- vey by Grey Advertising found 70 percent of women think that ads in magazines insult their intelligence. It is hard to see how American women can be content to see them- selves displayed in magazines as sex toys, and at the same time, break the glass ceiling in Corporate America and beyond. Women are making a huge mistake not to ques- tion this overdose of sexual images and obsession with the Big O. Or- gasms, are wonderful in the right context. However, the American media has taken an obsessive turn and gone overboard with sexual ex- ploitation of women and men in our society. With Heidi Fleiss in the news, pornography, violence and AIDS growing globally, it's wrong to pass off all sex as pleasurable or mor- ally correct If women tolerate an image of themselves as sex objects, it will make gender equality un- reachable. Wednesday, July 3,1996 The East Carolinian LIF&wfe 76ez&ie Prectteca "A 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. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor Independence Day, like most post-Christian holidays, has its base in something horrible. Not independence, certainly. There's nothing horrible about freedom. But often the price of freedom, the sacrifice that has to be made to attain freedom, is hor- rible. And tragic. But somehow, it's also glorious. The founding of America, as we all know from history class, is one of those horrible, tragic, glorious things. The freedom we enjoy today was paid for by gal- lons of blood, American and Brit- ish both. Well, 1 guess technically it was all British in those days. And conditions would probably have gotten better over here eventually even if we hadn't re- belled. But that's beside the point. It's the sacrifice of all those people whose blood was spilled in the name of freedom that we'll be celebrating tomorrow, with our picnics and cookouts and fireworks displays. But, again like most post- Christian holidays, we don't re- ally think about that so much. Who, after all, can ponder blood, bayonets and bombs bursting in air when they're chomping down on a hot dog with the works? Who would want to? We get caught up in the trappings of the celebration rather than its more serious intent And that's okay. I don't think all those people gave their lives so that we could sit around and be mopey once a year. The Fourth of July is like a wake in some ways, a celebration of our forefathers' lives and accomplish- ments. I like to think that they're all floating around in whatever afterlife there might be, celebrat- ing right along with us. But maybe we should take just a minute to be serious. A wake is a complicated emotional event, after ail. People may chan- nel their grief into joy, but that grief is still present There's still a serious undertone to the cel- ebration, a pondering of matters larger than a hot dog, a thought process that cleanses the soul. But what to ponder? Sacrifice? Possibly. But, and forgive my tone, sacrifice is too commonplace. People make sac- rifices all the time, and other holi- days are about sacrifice too, so why ponder that when the Fourth offers its own unique con- cept to ponder? What better thing to keep in mind on Inde- pendence Day than, well, inde- pendence? Freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to vote. The freedom to think what you want, when you want, and to act upon those thoughts. The freedom to have that hot dog with the works, or maybe just some mustard and ketchup if you want. In matters large and small, freedom is per- haps the most important founda- tion on which America is built. But how free are we? We're all slaves to something, after all. Whether it's love, family, a job or even mere survival, there are some things in life to which we must surrender a few freedoms. Corporate America, for ex- ample, demands certain appear- ances and conformities; deviation is frowned upon.

That's probably what some of the mass audi- ence would say after attending Satur- day night's Strutter concert. This Kiss cover band is known for their bril- liance to step up and fool the audi- ence into believing that they're actu- ally seeing KISS, and what a hell of an illusion it was. It sort of freaked me out to see a bunch of maniacs on stage running around in black and white make-up; however, the music was excellent The band was on time and surprisingly they sounded exactly like the origi- nal '70s rock and roll nightmare. The most amazing thing 1 saw at this show was the ability of each band member to be able to concentrate on their part and their part alone while still keeping in mind how to react with each other as a band, stay on time and smile for the fans. And this was all done with the same enthusiasm that Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter would have presented. Well, maybe not ex- actly the same. I mean, we are talking about KISS here. Anyone who is a true fan knows that there is only one KISS. As the night wore on and the smoke was just starting to split my vision into a haze. "Cold Gin" streaked out through the amplifiers. Gene picked up a massive torch and began to breathe fire. The audience and its energy grew to levels higher than I could have imagined.

Last Saturday night the stage at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater was not only graced with Sting's royal presence but also that of Natalie Merchant, who is following Sting's lead by going solo these days. While both Sting and Merchant are not as musically exciting as they were when they both were part of a band, their joint ticket made for a solid night's entertainment that was almost worth Ticket Master's over-priced service charge. Around 8 p.m Merchant strolled onto the stage dressed in a form-fit- ting, polka-dot dress that seemed to symbolize the new Natalie Merchant. With her first solo album apart from 10,000 Maniacs, Tigerlily, Merchant seems to be asserting her desire to be her own artist and not simply an ex- Death returns to spotlight Summer theatre season continues with Daddy's Dyin' Joseph Elchehabi Staff Writer Daddy is on his death bed, mum- bling last-minute I-love-you's and babbling about midget wrestlers, while his adult children tear the house apart, desperately trying to lay their hands on his will. A country-fried comedy, full of laughs and, yes, even tears, Del Shores' Daddy's Dyin Who's Got the Will? is East Carolina Summer Theatre Managing Director Gary Faircloth's current project. The play is unlike any he's directed so far at Natalie Merchant Sting tension of her former band. Her set consisted mostly of songs from her solo effort. Merchant could have easily- played the more popular 10.000 Mani- acs songs, such as "Like the Weather but she didn't In fact I wonder if a large part of the audience even knew who she was. The ignorant group sitting behind me either didn't realize who Natalie Mer- chant was or they simply didn't care because they talked loudly through her entire set To be honest I couldn't really en- joy Merchant's set because of the crowd at Walnut Creek. While many of Merchant's songs are difficult to dance to, many make swinging your body around seem natural, as a couple a few rows in front of me were demonstrat- ing.

"It deals with people and relation- ships It's about the restoration of fractured family values. It's about the rebirth of the spirit of the fam- ily. For all its great humor, this play speaks to every family, everywhere. "I love this show said Faircloth with a smile.

M ate zeceta Striptease needs stripping down Jay Myers Assistant Lifestyle Editor I'll be the first to admit that I fell for Striptease's in-your-face promo- tional campaign, but not for the obvi- ous reason. I wasn't as much inter- ested in seeing Demi Moore nude-as I was seeing a film version of a Carl Hiaasen novel and possibly seeing Burt Reynolds' big comeback. But that's not why most of you are read- ing this review, is it? In order to get the question out of the way, yes Demi flashes her breasts on the big screen. Was it worth it? No, and I'll explain why. It seems that when Demi is hired for her sexual presence (which is more often than not), the films tend to be horrible. Cases in point: Disclosure, The Scarlet Letter and Ghost. In each of these movies the focus is more on her body than her acting, which I guess is good because her acting in those films is pathetic. Perhaps that's as it should be, since her body seems to be what brings in the big bucks. It is rumored that she received 12 million dollars to appear in Striptease, the highest salary any actress has ever made. She doesn't deserve it Her char- acter, Erin Grant, is supposed to gar- ner sympathy from the audience be- cause of the difficulties she faces. Yet Moore looks so bored and dispassion- ate in her role that it becomes easier to forget she's in the movie than it is to root for her. Here's the skinny on the plot. Erin Grant's husband Darrell (played by Robert Patrick, the former morphingT-1000 from Terminator 2) is a small-time criminal and big-time loser who causes Erin to lose her job at the FBI because of his thievery. Without a job, she also loses custody of her daughter Angela (a fine perfor- mance from Demi's real-life daughter Rumor Willis).

That's the best way to describe The Hazies' debut album. Vinnie Smokin' In The Big Room: gener- ally monotonous with occasional rays of sunlight peeking through the sur- rounding fog. Unfortunately the rays aren't bright enough to keep The Hazies from becoming another luke- warm band of the '90s. Vinnie Smokin' In The Big Room is a blend of smashing drums and the same guitar licks with less than stellar singing. While this may work for one song. The Hazies go to the well too many times to keep the album fresh. Instead of going in dif- ferent directions they end up sound- ing like a heavy opening club band who made one song turn into 11.

Greenville, NC 27858 HAll-Lb from page 5 The disc starts out pretty well with a song called "Trip Free Life It's not a bad song, with a simple message of wanting no responsibil- ity in life. The album was looking promising. The road stayed smooth with the current single, "Skin & Bones A definite album highlight, it shows that these are actually some versa- tile musicians who know what they are doing. Or maybe they don't. Just when the album gets rocking, it lulls badly. A barrage of mediocre songs charac- terized by monotonous music and vocals and disjointed lyrics follow for a while until the next high point, "Dancin' At Seven The instant the song starts you can tell it's different from the rest. With a more upbeat and definitive groove, it starts to make you have faith in The Hazies yet But fame is fleeting. It's back to the grind of monotonous tunes until the end of the album and its final song, "Floating Away Were they sav- ing the best for last? Not exactly. It's more like ending on a good note. Though "Floating Away" is simple, it turns away from the steady crunch of the songs before it to become a confirmed good song. A few more of these and The Hazies would have a hit album. The general problem with the album is that the band will have a good groove and not know what to do with it. "I'm The One, for ex- ample, starts out with a great little guitar riff but then the rest of the band plays the same thing as before, leaving the good part subdued and ultimately wasted. With a little time and guidance, The Hazies could become a great band, but with a debut like Vinnie Smokin'In The Big Room, they may never get that chance.

After witnessing such a ridiculous display of aggression and oppression, I was so angered that the only thing that made me smile was the thought of Merchant kicking the bully in the crotch while she danced around.

Fortunately, I calmed down by the time Sting appeared and everybody got to their feet and danced. For some rea- son, the collective consciousness of Walnut Creek indicated that it was OK to stand up and dance if you wanted to now that the main act was on stage. This show was the fourth time I've seen Sting solo, and staying true to his nature he once again displayed solid talent His new album, Mercury Fall- ing, isn't as light and fun as his last album, but it still illustrates a creative, intelligent mind at work. Unlike Merchant though, Sting doesn't mind going back to his popu- lar roots with the Police. The audience constantly sprang up like a jack-in-the- box when Sting crooned such songs as "Roxanne" and the ever-popular "Every Breath You Take Highlights from his solo efforts were the songs "Englishman in New York which included a rap segment sung by the saxophonist and "Frag- ile which featured Sting playing acoustic guitar as opposed to his usual bass. Sting is an old pro who has been making music for two decades. He is good at what he does, and judging from Saturday night's performance he still enjoys his art My only complaint is Sting's unwillingness to vary his song choices. When you include his Police songs, Sting has an entire library of songs which he could play. However, time and time again he chooses the same selections. I would like to see Sting again in the future, but I would also like to see him be a bit more dar- ing than he has been in the past Despite all of its problems and disappointments, the StingNatalie Merchant show was time well-spent For the most part the performers dis- played solid talent and a willingness to put on a good show. I'm glad I went but I'm still not sure if I ever want to suck up to Ticket Master's price and see another show at an arena as con- fining and suffocating as Walnut Creek. On a scale of one to ten, Sting and Natalie Merchant each rale a seven. Walnut Creek, however, rates a two.

Monday - Thursday 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM life and freedoms that sometimes have to be surrendered. Still, it's bet- ter than living in China, where the government dictates how many chil- dren you can have. It's also better than living in some Third World dic- tatorship where the death squads come through periodically to weed out traitors. It's better than starving in Af- rica, living under the constant threat of war in Eastern Europe, dealing with oppressive religious factions in the Middle East, or living anywhere that treats freedom like a bug to be squashed underfoot. So enjoy your cookouts and fire- works tomorrow. Enjoy them with the knowledge that, as much as America sucks, things could be a whole hell of a lot worse. That's what all those people really died for 200 years ago, and that's definitely worth celebrating today. And by the way, I think I'll be getting that hog dog with chili and onions, if you please. It's my right as an American. 3 JL Jvli from page 5 to help Erin get her daughter back by putting pressure on Dilbe:k, threat- ening to expose his club-hopping. Then the regular turns up dead at a lake where Lt. Al Garcia of Miami Homicide (the always amicable Armand Assante) is vacationing with his family. From there the movie turns and turns and turns around on itself in the pulp crime novel way familiar to avid Carl Hiaasen fans. Although the story is captivating and funny, it tends to fall down when the camera turns to the strippers. Most of their lines aren't needed for the film to pro- ,? ceed and their stripping cer- tainly isn't nec- essary to the plot. This is a major drawback for the film, one that keeps it from being a truly good film. Besides that, the strip routines aren't the least bit sexy, even Moore's highly touted ones. ????????????? This is both good and bad for the film. It's good because it conveys the sense that these women are just doing their job, going through the routine time after time to earn the almighty dol- lar. It's bad because it's boring and bogs down the film's otherwise excel- lent pacing. The other unsightly flaw in the movie is the ending. From what I un- derstand, test audiences not only laughed at all the wrong parts in the body of the film, but also blanched at the original ending in which Dilbeck allegedly rapes Grant. Because Reynolds is so likable and funny as Dilbeck, the audience couldn't accept this violent act from his character. So the filmmakers did some re-editing to Moore looks so bored and dispassionate in her role that it becomes easier to forget she's in the movie than it is to root for her. clean up the comic pacing and re-shot an entire new ending. This new end- ing has merits as a concept but fal- ters seriously in its execution. Even though Reynolds turns in an eccentric performance as the white- haired, addle-brained Dilbeck (one that should have his agent's phone ringing off the hook) and Robert Patrick is equally good as the bumbling, pill-addicted ex-husband, if anyone deserves the outrageous sal- ary Moore took home it is Ving Rhames. Rnames is best known for his ?????? performances as Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction and Eriq LaSalle's brother-in-law Walter on NBC's ER. He also ap- peared earlier this summer in the Tom Cruise action block- buster Mission Im- possible. In Strip- tease, Rhames steals the show as the Eager Beaver's animal-loving, over- protective bouncer, "????????'????? Shad. His perfor- mance alone could rate an eight for its delivery. Every scene Rhames ap- pears in adds another level to the rich characterization of Shad, whose story is so funny and compelling that you end up wishing they had made the film about him instead of Erin Grant Unfortunately, that was not the case. As good as this film is, it has some serious flaws. If they had taken as much time fine tuning the last scene as they did getting shots of Moore's butt and had taken out most of the quick non-sequitor jump cuts to strippers doing their thing, then the film could have rated as h'gh as an eight. As it is however, Striptease rates a mediocre six. STRUTTER from page 5 his skin. The blood flowing down thought of it!

MART KISS right down to the center. After massive applause, Peter jumped be- hind the kit and began to play a drum solo so in sync that it could have been none other than the man himself. Not only did these guys look and sound like KISS, but they played their in- struments the same way their forefa- thers did. After seeing the course of events that led up to the guitar solo 1 fig- ured that I was about to be let down at any time. Luckily, I was wrong. Not only did 1 catch a ten minute solo from the spaceman himself, his expression never changed and he gazed off into the lights as he had been for the en- tire duration of the evening. Much deserving of praise was the true essence of the band, its feminine side, Mr. Paul Stanley. This guy had it down. From the smiles to the shouts to the kisses blown to the crowd, he never let you forget how important his presence was on that stage. Stanley was an excellent frontman. He let you know he was there and didn't give a damn whether you liked it or not. He got the show done, got paid, took the make-up off, grabbed his girls and left for yet another evening full of festivities. Hopefully, it worked out the same way for Strutter.

The first items Overton and his staff needed to shop for were position players to fill the gaps that All-CAA second baseman now Phila- delphia Philly Lamont Edwards and co-captain outfielder Jason Head left The purple and gold staked their first claim in Garner where they found Macon Jones, who is expected to fill the hole at either shortstop or sec- ond base. The Pirates also sought another infielder from Belmont, N.C. named Jason Linburger who can play first base and is described as a power left-handed hitter. Despite the loss of Head and Edwards, Overton's cupboard is still not bare. This year's club was a more potent offensive team and the Bucs look to build on that with the combi- nation of the incoming freshmen along with key returning starters. "We're not starting from scratch by any means Overton said. "We have four key players coming back that we're ex- cited about, that being (catcher) Tim Flaherty, (10 Steve Salargo. (cf) Antaine Jones and (lb) Randy Rigsby With a nucleus such as the one present in Overton's pro- gram, one would think that if the right players are incorporated into the ECU sys- tem, in laymen's terms, the Bucs won't be bad. "We want to try to surround these quality players with tal- ent in hopes of not just to fill offense Overton said. This freshman class that has more than enough offensive firepower will be accompanied by N.C. State transfer third baseman Ryan Massimo who had to sit out a year due to the NCAA transfer rule. Massimo will bring an excellent defensive game along with solid lumber to this po- tential-filled squad. Considering Overton's usual success with re- cruiting in-state talent to go along with the nucleus of proven starters returning to the squad. CAA con- tention is close at hand. "I'm pleased with the recruiting year so far Overton said. "We have gotten play- ers, all of which 'We want to try to surround these quality players with talent in hopes of not just to fill positions in the lineup, but to make it a solid lineup that will produce a great amount of offense ?Head Coach Gary Overton Course review for potential golfers this summer Craig Perrott Assistant Sports Editor Note: This is the third install- ment in a series of reviews of golf courses in the GreenvillePitt County area. I know that the Brook Valley Country Club, site of this year's Michael Jordan Celebrity Classic, is probably out of the price range of most college students, but I'm go- ing to tell you about it anyway. First of all, it's the most con- venient golf course in the area as far as location goes. For the three people who didn't come out to the course this weekend, follow 10th street away from the campus and you'll eventually come to the inter- section where you cross Greenville ?i Boulevard. Go straight through the intersection and take the first right past the shopping center onto Ox- ford Road. The club is on the left, down the road a piece. Sounds like directions to the OK corral, huh? I was lazy this weekend and took the shuttle from Minges to Brook Valley for the Jordan Classic. There were sev- eral buses run- ning, and I made the round trip twice, but I had the same bus driver each time. He obviously couldn't drive a manual transmis- sion, as we sputtered and jerked through every gear. By the end of the day. Dill Dillard and I were sar- castically referring to the older gentleman as Keanu Reeves ("There's a bomb on the bus"). Anyway, the course itself is su- perb. The fairways are of outstand H ? ing quality. The greens are good, but on the same level as the other local courses. They will deceive you, however, as they're not as fast as they look. Brook Valley is not a really long course, and there is plenty of shade and beau- tiful scenery. Ac- cording to Bryan "the Mudd Man" Mudd of WITN Sports, who played in the Classic on Sun- day, the course is not as challeng- ing as you might think. "You don't have to be a long hitter to play well on this course Mudd said. "If you hit it straight, you'll be okay That's the problem. If you don't hit it straight, you'll be out of bounds because the fairways are See BROOK page 9 You don't have to be a long hitter to play well on this course" ?

Photos by CHRIS GAYDOSH Interested in building for a healthy lifestyle? The summer could not be a better time to get involved with recreational services. Rec ser- vices has something for everyone, from Intramural Sports to drop-in rec- reation. The Recreational Outdoor Cen- ter (ROC) is the place to rent a wide range of outdoor equipment. The equipment is available to students, faculty and staff. The ROC is a great way to help plan a camping trip for a weekend getaway or a day of fun at low cost. If you're interested in living with the wildlife for a few days, the ROC rents backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, tarps. lanterns, cooksets, stoves and coolers. The ROC is open Monday through Thursday 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The equipment rental rates are daily, or on a three or seven day basis. Res- ervations can be made in advance for those who like to plan ahead. A valid student ID or staff ID must be pre- sented when borrowing equipment. For those who enjoy the thrill of heights, rec services also offers a climbing tower. The tower is located behind the Belk Allied Health Science Building across from Ficklen Stadium. It is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through July 24. Everyone can be challenged at the tower with routes ranging from be- ginner to advanced. Beginners are only allowed to climb, not belay (spot the climber). If you are just starting out and would eventually like to become an advanced climber, you must pass a written test and perform certain skills (all skills are taught during the school year). Rec services offers day passes at $2 for students and $3 for staff and guests. A five-punch card costs stu- dents $10 and staff $15 and a semes- ter pass costs students $25 and staff $35. The tower is open every Wednes- day to students and staff for free climb- ing. Rec services also offers drop-in recreation. Drop-in recreation includes access to Christenbury Gym, the Equipment Check-Out Center. Christenbury Swimming Pool, Minges Swimming Pool, Christenbury Weight Room and Garrett Weight Room.

Also, there is plenty of sand and some big bodies of water to make you talk ugly. One of my favorite features of the course is the names that are given to each of the holes. Some of the more amusing ones include: Wa- tery Grave, Long John, Valley of Sin. Bunker Hill, Little Joe, Para- dise Lost. Baffling Brook and Smooth Sailing. The highlight of the tourna- ment Sunday was the appearance of Ronald McDonald. Ronald, of whose establishment I am a proud patron, was hanging out at the 17th hole. He had this huge putter he called "the McSinker which he said had a maximum distance of 150 yards. When asked whether he was a short game or a distance player, Ronald said he had trouble of a different kind. "I've always had trouble with the hole that has the windmill on it McDonald said.

The security deposit I had to pay for the apartment really cut me short on money. I had to eat my own cooking and then wash all the messy dishes. 1 even had to clean my own bathroomYuck! I didn't have time to meet new friends because I had to spend so much time cleaning my apartment-not to mention shopping for groceries.
