The address will be given on De- cember 9 at ECU's fall graduation ceremony, where about 2.000 degree candidates will be waiting to turn their tassels. According to Chancellor Richard Eakin. Hester has had a number of key roles at the university. He entered the university almost 30 years ago as a faculty member of the English de- partment where he later served as chairperson from 1968 to 1982. From 1989 to 1991. Hester was acting dean of the School of Art. "Hester has had a long, distin- guished career at this university Eakin said, adding that he was pleased to have him deliver the commence- ment speech. Hester said he is very honored to have been chosen to deliver the address. He added that at the end of this academic year, he will be saying farewell to the university as well.

This proposal is a con- tinuation of a debate which began Nov. 13. and ex- ceeds a five percent cap set by the state. Harry Bray. SGA speaker, announced that the me- dia board has decided to approve the fe� increase and support the yearbook's reappearance. The yearbook, however, may not take the traditional form as it has in the past, but it will return in some torm. In a formal resolution document, in reference to bringing back the print yearbook, Angie Nix, SGA trea- surer, stated "whereas many students have expressed a desire to bring back the print yearbook, be it therefore resolved the Student Government Association will sup- port a referendum to address the concerns and desires of the student body After a turnout of 500 votes, earlier in the semes- ter.

Leach. Tyler Dockery. Rex Zachery, Jeannette Austin. Melissa ShaVonne Exum and Susan Johnson. Dockery and Zachery are room- mates at ECU. "We both produced artwork far it. we started with ornamentation sketches Dockery said. "We kind of brainstormed over what we wanted. The coordinators gave us a list of suggested topics Twos The Sight Before Christ- mas" was the theme selected by Bill and Hillary Clinton for the White House tree this year. "Instead of just doing a picture of a chimney, we wanted to break it down into a feeling to give it volume and warmth Dockery said. "We de- cided on 10 designs which we broke up amongst ourselves Dockery and Zachary decided to get involved after seeing an advertise- ment. "They had posters up in the art building with pictures of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Picasso I fig- ured, why not?" Dockery asked. After a few meetings and a de- crease in the number of participants, the students created 10 ornaments which are now hanging in the Blue Room of the White House. "I made a spiral staircase out of some sturdy wood that would last over time Zachary said. A train was also made which symbolized toys and trav- eling during the holidays. The ornaments will be curated by the Smithsonian Institute once the tree is taken down. Zachery said he put a lot of time into making his or- nament. "It took a lot of thinking about what kind of messages we wanted to convey he said. "A staircase, to me. was kind of majestic somehow it re- minded me of Christmas He said America's first family pre- sents a majestic symbol to the nation. ECU students participated in mak- ing ornaments for the White House last year, and the university is one of 148 schools nationwide selected to partici- pate in the project through its chapter of the American Institute of Architec- ture Students (AIAS).

Miriam Brooks Staff Writer The UNC chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at Chapel Hill had their charter suspended after a questionable memo addressed to pledges came to the attention of the UNC community and the national Phi Gamma Delta chapter. The memo contained lewd com- ments encouraging pledges to take ad- vantage of inebriated sorority girls at an upcoming party during Rush Week. A group of protesters gathered in front of the Phi Gamma Delta house on the evening of Monday, Nov. 13 chanting "Phi Gam is a sham" and "Sexism has got to go" according to The Daily Tarheel, the campus news- paper of UNC-Chapel Hill. Two sorori- ties were evidently mentioned in the memo, but did not participate in the protest the paper reported. The UNC Director of Greek Af- fairs Ron Binder and the assistant executive director of the fraternities national chapter Nick Altwies stated in the paper that the suspended char- ter would not be removed until a com- plete investigation is conducted. Many at UNC believe that the memo is a symptom of a larger issue concerning the politics of gender relations on campus. In The Daily Tarheel, Chancel- lor Michael Hooker is quoted as say- ing, "I don't want people to focus solely on the fraternity. We need to focus on the broader issues that we have allowed to develop an atmo- sphere, a culture in which students fail to recognize this is something profoundly wrong In addition to the public derision and criticism, the fraternity is facing disciplinary action from the national Phi Gamma Delta chapter. They are currently doing community service at the Rape Crisis Center in Chapel Hill. According to ECU's Dean of Stu- dents Ron Speier, there are national standards which prohibit this kind of behavior among the Greek commu- nity. At ECU, standards are set by both the national fraternities and the InterFraternal Council. "One of the standards is that they (fraternities) are to be held account- able for activities that bring bad pub- licity Speier said. Another national standard bro- ken by the memo is that "behavior, statements and activities must not be derogatory or demeaning towards women, races or religion" Speier said. According to Speier, ECU has consistently promoted proper behav- ior among the Greek community. "We provide programs to let groups know what is inappropriate and appropriate" Speier said. Recently, the InterFraternity Council held a forum in which some of these issues were addressed.

"It was a tough election. It was the closest one. I've been involved with IFC for three and a half years now. and it was the closest election I've ever seen for all of the offices. I think that's promising because it is a big sign that people are more interested in becoming a part of IFC, and we're now starting to get some of the leaders Although anyone is welcome to attend IFC meetings, there is only one voting representative allowed for each individual fraternity. Whether the representative is the president of the fraternity or an appointed delegate by the president is the responsibility and decision among the different fraternity chap- ters. The executive council for 1996 consists of the following people: Tau Kappa Epsilon Bill Burnette, president; Theta Chi George Davis, executive vice president; Sigma Phi Epsilon Chris Arline, administrative vice president; Pi Kappa Alpha Reid Griffen, treasurer; Phi Kappa Psi Micah Retzlaff, secretary and Pi Lambda Phi Brandon Haines, RUSH chairman. There are other various committee heads and appointed of- fices as well. Ideas have al- ready been tossed around, but the first real perfor- mance that the newly elected IFC can prove their abilities on is Spring RUSH. Fraternity RUSH has been doing extremely well. In the past two semesters, spring and fall of 1995, men rush- ing fraternities has increased 30. "If we could continue raising 30 percent, we should be up to 1,000 Greek men by the end of next year. RUSH is most impor tant Conrad said. Conrad consistently ex- pressed his en thusiasm fcr the new execu- tive council and proudly handed over the gavel to Burnette at 4:00 p.m. on Dec. 5. "I think that the coop- eration of the exec this year and the people that are now becoming involved in IFC, the quality of the officers is See IFC page 5 "If we could continue raising 30 percent, we should be up to 1,000 Greek men by the end of next year. RUSH is most important � Justin Conrad, previous IFC president Teachers get graded Miriam Brooks Staff writer Now students get a chance to grade their teachers. Throughout the week of Nov. 27 to Dec. 1st, students were given ques- tionnaires designed to assess their opinions of each instructor's effec- tiveness as a teacher. A ritual surrounds the survey. Instructors distribute pencils, ap- point a student to be responsible for the collection of questionnaires and pencils and then they exit the room. The Faculty Senate Committee for Teaching Effectiveness and the Office of Planning and Institutional Research created the questionnaire and estimated in a news release that it should take approximately 15 min- utes to complete. Out of the five stu- dents TEC questioned, most insisted that they are usually out of the door in five minutes tops and they do not view the questionnaires as having any serious impact on their profes- sors. "I take them seriously said stu- dent Bonnie MacMillan. "But 1 feel bad for the teachers because the questions are not pertinent for the most part The results of the questionnaire are given to instructors only after fi- nal grades have been posted. The point is to help them improve their skills as teachers. The administration takes the re- sults of these surveys seriously, us- ing them as guidelines in questions of tenure and promotion. Students are not allowed to see the results of the survey. This issue was taken up by the SGA this summer. According to Ian Eastman SGA President, the scores from the Fall semester's sur- vey will probably not be published. Preliminary investigations by the SGA have shown that students are more likely to have access to the scores of tenured professors, than those that are untenured. "It's in the process Eastman said.

I was into avant-garde music he said. "When The Beatles arrived in America in 1964, they represented freedom from gen- der roles. For many women who were screaming, they represented an alternative vision of what life would'be like. The Beatles were un- encumbered, quick, witty and in control. "Their songs dealth with male- female relationships as give and take. They wrote about strong women and the problems men have dealing with strong women As the '60s progressed, and ,U.S. troops became embroiled in Vietnam, life in America changed rapidly. And the music changed, too, Kendall said: no more happy- go-lucky, "I Want to Hold Your Hand "What the album) Sergeant Pepper that came out in the sum- mer of love is about the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

The increase will be added along with the other fees to be pro- posed in front of the Board of Trust- ees tomorrow by Chancellor Eakin. Among other things discussed during the last meeting of the se- mester, was the offensive article that appeared in The News and Ob- server, pertaining to ECU playing against Stanford at the Liberty Bowl. In an article titled, "Memphis the host of 'Twins Chip Alexander portrayed ECU in a negative light and received hundreds of letters from loyal Pirate fans. Justin Conrad, SGA senior class president, read aloud his statement, printed in a resolution document, that the article issued on Nov. 30 "degregated and misrepresented fac- tual inaccuracies, and the stereo- types represented are damaging to the academic integrity of the stu- dents and our alumni After being brought to the at- tention of all SGA representatives, a vote took place to resolve the is- sue. It passed by acclamation, a very strong consent. "The article is attacking the academic integrity, which has no place in a sports editorial Conrad said. The issue will be pursued at a later date by committee. There were two brief discus- sions on appropriating funds to or- ganizations. "The main problem in the Rules of Judiciary is that people are not attending meetings said Dale Em- ery, SGA vice president. "If this con- tinues, they (organizations request- ing appropriations) will be put in the back of all the files and dealt with after everyone else Also, graduate students are given one lump sum by SGA. This lump sum is given to the Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC), who, in turn, is then responsible for dividing and distributing the funds amongst the graduate organiza- tions. There was an unanimous con- sent to pass the constitution of the English Graduate Student Organiza- tion of ECU, which would add them to the appropriations committee file. The financial report ending Dec. 4 leaves a total available of $84,714 ($262,433 actual and estimated to- tal revenue and $177,719 total ap- propriations made).

Captain John Ennis, patrol division commander for the Greenville Police Depart- ment said that most of the assaults, robberies and home break- ins in Greenville happen because someone is trying to raise money for drugs. Obviously, because the ECU campus is part of the larger community, the problems of the city will occa- sionally spill over to campus. It is no secret that in any college town that students will be leaving their dorm rooms and apartments over Winter break and you can be sure would-be criminals are on the look out for easy targets. Don't be one. The number of police patrolling campus will decrease dur- ing the break because so few students will actually be here. So, follow police tips and resident hall guidelines for securing your property, so you won't be a victim reporting a crime to the police. Put your bikes in your dorm rooms, take home those stereos, televisions, VCRs and anything else you think is valuable that thieves might break into your dorm room for. Students who live off campus are probably even more vulnerable than the ones on campus. The Greenville police department has a much larger vicinity to cover than the ECU police. Their job is not to specifically patrol student living areas, therefore, students must take precautions themselves. Use bolt locks, secure windows, or have your mail held at the post office or temporally sent to your permanent address while you are away. If you are staying in Greenville over the break, don't face the possibility of watching a thief jump out a win- dow of your house as one TEC staff member did. However, whether you are spending your holiday season here or at home, be careful out there. When you are doing that Christmas shopping, go in a group, check the back seat of your car, don't carry cash, put gifts in the trunk of your car, etc. We know this is an ugly side of the holiday season that no one wants to think about at this time, but we have to. Every one out there is not filled with the love and warmth that the season is supposed to bring out. Simple precautions may save our property andor our life. So, have a happy and safe holiday. We want you back in January.

Leaving home In August of 19891 thought this weekend w Ad never get here. But in two days I'll be walking across the field of Dowdy-Ficklen with the rest of the class of 1995. Unlike many of my fellow students, I'll be looking back with tears. Sounds corny, yes, but leaving ECU is something I've dreaded since Dec. 1993 when I donned the cap and gown for the first time. Leaving Greenville seemed so devastating that I applied to graduate school and despite much skepticism, was actu- ally accepted. Those philosophic words of my parents "You better improve your grades or you won't be able to go to graduate school just didn't sink in - until I applied for grad school and was told it was doubtful I'd ever be admitted. Suddenly 1 regretted my behavior over the previous four and a half years. You see, going out four nights a week and chasing boys ev- ery ailernoon just wasn't very con- ducive to learning. Besides at that time, grad school was the farthest thing from my mind. But thanks to hours of studying the GRE books, I scored well enough to be admitted to grad school. Those first couple months were tough. My best friend moved home, my boyfriend dumped me and my landlord said pets weren't allowed so I had to give up my cat, but after throwing myself into school and The East Carolinian, life was once again great I couldn't believe how fun it could be to meet new people. I was always one of those people who was happy with one best friend, but since she graduated and moved away, 1 was left to fend for myself. Through grad school I met a whole new set of friends, found pro- fessors who cared about my academic and personal well being and suddenly saw school in a whole new light I won't go on and on to say how important it is to become involved, but I will say that I've lived and breathed The East Carolinian for the last three years. 1 know my friends, Stephanie Lassiter Editor-in-Chief � a �. -t I can t imagine going to any other job and working 12 hours a day and not complaining. Lmily and boyfriend will be glad when I have something new to com- plain, and rave, about, but I won't I've written this column over in my head at least 10 times, but I still know I'll forget something, but the bottom line is that there is no greater feeling than producing something you are proud of and being able to say thanks when others compliment. True, I won't miss the many nights when the printer died at mid- night, the early mornings when the publisher called to say they screwed up, but I had to resolve the problem and the endless arguments over cen- sorship, but I'll take those headaches any day for the experience The East Carolinian has given me. I never thought when I accepted this position that I'd be dealing with issues as hot as censorship, but it seems that censorship has become a daily topic for our staff. Members of your student body wanted to have me fired because they didn't like the tim- ing of a story I covered. Don't you expect news in a timely manner? Would you want to hear about a bombing a week after it occurred? Would you mind if we told you who won the latest basketball game a week after it was held? Timing, they said, was the problem. Yeah, the tim- ing didn't parallel with their agenda. To their chagrin, the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution prevailed. The last time someone at- tempted to censor The East Carolin- ian they ended up in federal court and the paper won thanks to the ef- forts of our forefathers. When threat- ened with slander, I simply said I understand the difference between the truth and lies. If you tell the truth, there is no problem. The opin- ion page and the cartoon page are the avenues for personal opinion. The East Carolinian prides itself in be- ing unbiased and impartial, but for some people the truth hurts. When I began working at TEC three years ago. life as a student jour- nalist was a lot different Our facili- ties were horrible - old. dirty, messy and inadequate, our adviser showed up about once a year U complain about headlines and a typical produc- tion night went on until the wee hours of the morning. When our staff began interview- ing candidates for a fuli-time media adviser many were worried the per- son would drastically change the pa- per, but what this person, Paul Wright has done is cut our production time drastically, totally remodel our facili- ties, purchase new equipment inform us on the power of the press and acted as both an adviser and friend to our staff, as well as the staffs of the other student mediums. A thousands thank yous to Mr. Wright wouldn't be enough to show him my personal gratitude for improv- ing your newspaper. The East Caro- linian won a silver medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion and with the help of Mr. Wright, next year should bring a gold medal. I can't imagine going to any other job and working 12 hours a day and not complaining. Last week I woke up at 6 a.m. and realized after this se- mester I'll never see my friends from the paper again. It's hard to think of your coworkers as friends, but despite the diversity of our newsroom, we all manage to get along, and I think of these people as some of my closest friends. Leaving is part of growing up, but it's a part I wish I didn't have to experience. idvertisements be allowed in newspapers? Heather Wellman, freshman � Sure, I think pro-choice advertisements should be allowed. Everyone knows about it, but everyone may not approve. Pro-life and pro- choice is something that affects a lot of people. Everyone has their own opinions, so why not be able to advertise and express your feelings no matter how you feel about it. Janice Burnette, sophomore � Yes, there should be advertisements of pro-life and pro-choice. It educates everyone about the differences, allowing individuals to come up with their own decisions about the issues. Stephanie Webb, freshman � Yes, I think there should be advertisements of pro- life and pro-choice because this can help educate everyone. Anybody who may be facing the dilemma should know what they are about to experience or may experience. t Nathan Snead, freshman � Yes, I think that freedom of press is one of the great things about America. Advertisements either way should not be censored. Free expression it turns out, isn't always free. The Left has its own ever-changing rule book for determining whose speech should be defended and whose must be silenced � Cal Thomas, columnist, 1993 mmmmmmsm �T Thursday, December 7,1995 The East Carolinian Let the exams begin That time has already come upon us, and we need to get ready for the race. The "ice, what race? The race to finish this semester. Everybody that I know is like myself and just wishes for this never-ending semester to reach its end. I cannot wait until my truck hits the road and 1 am homeward bound. The journey North we shall call it But, there is that one obstacle that seems to be standing in my way before I can make this journey home, that is those pesky FINALS! So, in order to get ready for this trip, I need to take my finals. That can cause a lot of stress if it is not handled properly. So, I have come to you, the students of ECU, with some ideas of how to handle these stressful exams and how to relieve this stress following the exams. First of all, do not cram for these exams! You can not possibly learn ev- erything that you need to know if you are trying to cram it all in one night or even two. Space your studying out with many snack breaks and rest pe- riods. Stressing yourself out before even taking the exams almost cer- tainly guarantees you an F, if your lucky, F! After spacing out your studying and you feel prepared to take this exam, walk in with a clean spirit, knowing that you have done all that you can do for this exam and that you will do the best that you can do. That is all that can be expected of you. Right before the exam begins, take a deep breath, let out all your stress and all your other thoughts with the ex- haling of this monstrous breath. Now sit down and take the exam. Be thoughtful in your answers, but do not take up too much time on each Brian Lewis Burns Opinion Columnist No use in stressing over the grades. They wilt come when they come question. There is never .ough time to thoroughly sit ' ,wn and really think out eaui uuuoa. Do your best -ad try your hardest. DO NOT STRESS! If you stress, then your the nts begin to wander and soon j are wondering about how your- parents will react over your flunking grades and what will you do next se- mester. There is no benefit in these ac- tions. Relax and think before you an- swer. Once the exam is over and you have turned in your answers, do not look back. Walk out and be secure in your heart that those answers you just turned in were the best you could do. That is all that you can do at this point Do not begin to stress at this point either. What will you accomplish by stressing right now? After all your exams have been taken in this fashion, now is the time for a drastic change to occur. You have no more finals, there is nothing hold- ing you back from leaving Greenville, so why are you still here. For me, it will be to have that ceremonial margarita that I have had since the end of my first exams here. I've worked hard and it s time to reward myself. So, go out and have fun with your friends.When you go out, go to have fun and relieve all the stress that has been building up over the semes- ter. Alright, after my last exam has been taken, I have gone out and re- lieved some stress, I've made the jour- ney all the way back home, it's time for more relaxing. I plan on waking up when my body feels like it is ready to do so. That could be at 9 a.m. or 3p.m I don't care. I may be working over the break. I will not allow myself to work more than six hours a day. This is the true spirit of the break, no school work. Yes, I may think about what I plan on doing the next semester or how I can improve from the last one, but I will not stress over it. Still, the grades from my classes have not been sent to me and I am beginning to wonder how I did. As with myself, many of you count on those exams to either raise or kill your grade. No use in stressing over the grades. They will come when they come, there is nothing we can do to speed up the process. So, relax, sit back, have a drink and wait patiently until your grades arrive. For many of us, the stressing begins after we actually receive our grades, and there is no point in ruining this other time with needless stress. So, go into those exams, do your best, and then walk away. Remember, do not look back, relax and wait un- til the grades are sent to you. Enjoy your break and get some much needed rest and relaxation, and come back ready to work your butt off an- other semester. Letters to the Editor Censorship hypocrisy To the Editor: Censorship is an ugly thing, and in theory everyone is against it In practice, however, it seems that things are different. In a delightful iron, the same Stu- dent Stores that celebrates Banned Books Week every year has apparently decided that T-shirts with sophomoric comments are too dangerous for the ECU community. I refer of course to the story in Tuesday's paper. "Students protest T- shirts 1 was shocked to learn that such shirts would cease to be ordered based solely on one student's taking offense. Surely the Student Stores would not have removed, say, Al Gore's book, or Rush Limbaugh's book, because someone was offended by it. This is blatant censorship. While the idea being censored may be offensive, this is the chance for the Student Stores to back up their proclaimed belief in the First Amendment The manage- ment of the Student Stores should im- mediately reinstate this T-shirt and apologize to the entire ECU commu- nity. Moreover, The East Carolinian should have immediately, on Tuesday, stood against this act as well. As jour- nalists, you have a special obligation to condemn censorship. Refusing to speak out against censorship only legitimizes it. I urge everyone to speak out and tell the Student Stores that we will not stand for such actions, now or in the future. W. Brian Hall Graduate Student History The letter to the editor printed in Tuesday's paper was written by Steven VT Starling, a history major, not Steven M. Starling who is a political science major. We apologize for any confusion. 140 plus presidents and nothing to show A few weeks ago over 140 heads of state from all over the world came together in the greatest nation the world has ever known (the great old 'U.S. of A.) The purpose was to cel- ebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, the closest thing that any of us will ever see to world gov- ernment (assuming that Earth is not invaded and taken over by aliens.) It's been almost 80 years since President Wilson first proposed the idea that there be some kind of world- wide coalition to promote world peace. The underlying goal was to insure that there would never again be a world- wide conflict like that in WW I. The movement failed, and about 30 years later the world found itself in similar circumstances. The UN was formed in 1955. Since that time there have been many memorable events. These range from various peace keeping efforts, to the formation of Israel and. Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe on the podium during a speech in regards to pulling the Soviet Union out of the UN. There have been noteworthy events galore since its formation of the UN, yet the simple fact of the matter is that the big birthday bash that was thrown a few weeks ago was not In fact it was, for all intensive purposes, worthless. It could have been fantastic. The sheer potential of having that many world leaders together in one place could be the ultimate ideal melting pot. But it was not to be. The best Chris Arline Opinion Columnist The world was forced to act as witness to the showcasing of world leaders as if they were movie stars that we got out of it was a much un- needed media circus. It's not often that so much tax money from so many countries goes to throw a recognition party. I'm sure that David Letterman or Billy Crystal would have made good hosts. I can hear Crystal now" And now the award for the third world nation that has done the most to keep the US border control the busiest the winner is The fact of the matter is that the idea of recognizing that the UN is a good and needed thing is okay. The problem is that it was a wasted op- portunity. There was an opportunity to capi- talize on the presence of a media cir- cus. With all the publicity there any- way, why not use it to promote some landmark legislation or hand down some big ruling on human rights or environmental legislation. It is said that people remember things better and pay more respect to them if they were done on a significant date. It is doubtful that we would remember when and what happened at Valley Forge if it were not on Christmas. Instead the world was forced to act as witness to the showcasing of world leaders as if they were some sort of trendy movie star . Yasir Arafat went on MTV. His hair stylist went on interview with The New York Post about how upset he was that he couldn't put his hair up in an afro. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giulani had him kicked out of a concert at the Lincoln Center, a move which was later called a cheap shot by Clinton. The man of the week was Cuba's Fidel Castro. His speech at the gen- eral assembly, which he wore a suit to, won more support than any other all week. Later in the week he brought out the all to familiar green fatigues in order to rile up support in Harlem. Only in America could a world re- nowned abuser of human rights and symbol of communism be capable of raising support The Filipino president's wife went shopping for shoes and Boris Yeltsin said nothing important again. Who was it that said, "give me all the worlds leaders together in one room and we can work out anything Wow, talk about decisions that will affect the rest of our lives. Holy worth- less world summits. Batman. Have a Safe and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I'll see you in Memphis or in '96. Advertising propaganda I am writing in regards to the advertisement from the Human Life Alliance of Minnesota inc before I begin though, I would like to con- gratulate the authors of this piece, for they truly excel as propagandist There sic misleading word- ings and bending the truth so that the fact and opinion are not distin- guishable by any means certainly helps there sic purpose along. In fact is seems to me that many of my classmates who had little opin- ion on the matter are now dead set against abortion. I am writing from a different opinion, and only intend it as some- thing that my fellow classmates can read and base there sic opinions on more than the one view pre- sented on Thursday. I am not saying my opinions are right for anyone but myself, and my intent is not to have people chose sic my side exclusively, but to be able to make a more informed and personal position on which they can stand. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional writer by any means, nor do I have there sic time or recourses to prepare an argument that can top every- thing that was addressed in the flyer. It seems appropriate thai I be- gin with some definitions, as the first article inside the cover was entitled "The War of the Words It is from this article that they are able to setup the fallacies to come. Here are a few definitions I bor- rowed from the oxford American Dictionary, which appear o'page 512: George Knott Quest Columnist If we deny women the right to on abortion, we might as well ban all heart transplants. Life (lif), n. the sum of experi- ences and actions that constitute a persons sic existence Lifeless (lif-lis), adj. without life or unconscious Given these two definitions (which the authors failed to do) we can begin to unravel the ornate web of deception that the skilled writ- ers have woven. The one thing that separates us from rocks or tress or animals is our consciousness, our unique ability to think, reason and remem- ber. This is what makes us human. Human (hyoo-man') adj. char- acterized by tenderness, compas- sion, and sympathy for human be- ings and animals It is what makes us alive. Alive (a-aliv) adj. living (pg 22) Now you must ask yourself if the fetus is alive. The fetus has the ability to move and grow. It must certainly be alive then, Right? Per- haps, But not more alive than a kid- ney or a hear is alive. Rememberer sic the fact that we are human is entirely just because we are only human. The ability to laugh and cry and love and hate sets us apart and above from animals. We are crea- tures shaped by our environment, by our ability to interact and change according to our surround- ings. The fetus, an appendage of the pregnant woman knows nothing. It has no knowledge. knowledge (nol'ij), n. acquit- tance sic or familiarity gained by experience. It cannot think or rea- son. It doesn't understand hot and cold. It doesn't know of the joys and sufferings of life. All it has (if in fact it is applicably sic to say it can have something) is its womb. In short the fetus is an unconscious part of the female. Lifeless (lif-lis) adj. with out life or unconscious The human life Alliance state that there is no constitutional right for abortion. There sic reasoning for this the right to "life liberty and the persuit sic of happiness So if we deny living women the right to an abortion in interest of the fetus, we might as well ban all heart transplants, for the hearts sic sake. Lets sic stop hip transplant surgery, and make blood transfu- sions illegal. After all, what about the life I "jerty and happiness of a tumorous kidney. Doesn't it have every right to thrive and grow and prosper, because it is an uncon- scious appendage to a person, jest sic like a fetus. Right, Human Life Alliance of Minnesota inc' WALLACE 8 Thursday, December 7,1995 The East Carolinian Gift-buying made cheap Jennifer Coieman Senior Writer It's the thought that counts, right? Wrong. At least, wrong according to many materialistic business owners. CEO's of companies such as Sears, Belk and Wal-Mart want you to believe that your loved ones won't be happy unless they unwrap a $1200 stereo or a $2000 computer from you on Christ- mas morning. While this is all well and good if you happen to be one of those CEO's and can actually afford such extrava- gant gifts, these prices are a bit out of reach for most of us. What is the poor college student to do? The answer is simple. Break away from the capitalist Christmas tradition and bring back the "good old days when it was the thought that counted and not the price tag. With a little imagination and effort, you can find mderful presents for your friends and family for under $20. The first thing to do is look at the recipients of the gifts. Are they male or female? What are their hobbies? Their likes and dislikes? Their favorite food, color and kind of music? All of these questions can point toward pos- sible present ideas. Sure, we'd all like a new stereo, but it is the personalized presents that we will remember and treasure. By tailoring the gift to fit the person, you show your friends that you really thought about what kind of gift they would appreciate. So once you've got all this infor- mation, the question becomes what to do with it Here's an example. You dis- covered that a friend's favorite food is Mexican. Why not get them a gift cer- tificate to Chico's or Mazatlan? It's not very expensive, and what college stu- dent wouldn't enjoy a free meal? Another example. Say a friend's favorite color is red Why not get them an assortment of strawberry, raspberry or cherry scented candles? Even unlit these candles can make an entire room smell good. And they'll really thank you- after their next romantic candlelit din- ner with that special someone. The possibilities are endless. Someone likes classic rock music? Why not get them a gift certificate to a music store? That way you don't have to keep up with what they already own, and they can use the gift certificate for CDs, t-shirts, posters, carrying cases or any- thing else they might need. If you don't like the idea of giving gift certificates, there's still a cheap alternative for musical gifts: used CDs. Greenville has several local record stores with a wide variety of used mu- sic Most of the discs are in excellent condition, and can be made to look new with fresh jewel cases (which are also cheap). By the same token, the readers on your Christmas list can be satisfied with used books. While some of these get a little dog-eared, like-new used books can usually be found in almost any genre of fiction. Also, hunt .e bargain bins and remaindered book tables at any major book store chain. Good deals lurk everywhere Here's a great idea for the gour- met in your circle.

This one must be sending record reviewers across the coun- try into fits. On the one hand, we've got Gibby Haynes. Whether we like the Butthole Surfers or not, we at least have to admit that he's paid his musical dues. Then we have Johnny Depp. He still has some kind of stigma attached to him; despite the impressive array of films he's done, people still want to dismiss him as a lightweight. The comparisons to David Cassidy are inevitable. But I happen to like Johnny Depp. Anybody who's got the guts to star in a black-and-white film about a transvestite movie director is okay in my book. P is far from an attempt by a movie star to cash in on his celeb- rity with some frothy pop music. Hell, Depp doesn't even sing! He's credited only with guitar and bass. All vocals are performed by the afore-mentioned Mr. Haynes. No, if Depp had wanted to do that, he'd : i have scraped together some even- worse-than-the-original Hootie clone band and released a nice, safe roots rock spectacular. An album that would make Milli Vanilli look sincere. Instead, Depp gets his buddy Gibby Haynes, leader of one of the most iconoclastic and obscure al- ternative bands of the last 10 years. Gibby's not a guy you work with if you want a radio-friendly sound, es- pecially not in the current field of studio punk and classic rock wannabe bands dominating the air- waves these days (God, I love MTV). So, not surprisingly, P is a pretty diverse album. Its tone is constantly shifting, seldom staying at the same level for two songs in a row. While this could be distract- ing for some bands, P manages to hold it together. The album opens with "I Save Cigarette Butts a nice little ditty that would be at home on a Lou Reed album. In fact, though I've never heard the song before, 1 wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Reed had recorded it at some point.

She is ra- diating warmth, and you can barely see that she is showing (about three months) under her Christmas iron-on and Aleene's Puff Painted sweatshirt And, I am still able to get the news and weather, thanks to encapsulated bits from USA Today. My roommate comes in, grabs her sunglasses, and asks if I'm going to class today. I mumble something through milk and Pop-Tart and she rolls her eyes at me, closing and locking the door behind her. Hey, these Lee Sands Holiday leather items look kind of cool! 2:39 p.m. - My roommate wakes me up coming in the door. She asks if I know that there are some big guys in a 7ECvan parked outside. I hardly hear her, because I am angry at myself for falling asleep during the two-hour Ba- varian Art Glass Jewelry special. As I stand, wiping crumbs off of my bath- robe, I notice a yellow notepad with QVC codes scribbled all over it I don't remember writing them. 4:00 p.m. - After falling asleep on QVC, I decide to flip over to its younger, hipper spin-off: Q2. I am just in time for Santa Shape-Up, hosted by Jenni- fer Dempster. Hey! She's also on ESPN's "Bodyshaping Well, so I've heard, because I never personally watch the show.

Fea- turing completely computer-gener- ated images, Toy Story brings the toys in the bedroom of a little boy named Andy to life. The main toy in Andy's bedroom is a cowboy named Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks). Woody garners the most attention from Andy and is therefore in charge of all the other toys in the bedroom. At a meeting early in the film, Woody explains that the fre- quency with which the toys get played with is not as important as being there for Andy when he does want to play. This concept is easy for Woody to say but difficult to do, when later in the film Woody does not get played with very often. Joining Woody in the toy chest is a dinosaur (Wallace Shawn) who cannot figure out how to be fero- cious, Little Bo Peep (Annie Potts) who has an infatuation with Woody, a piggy bank (John Ratzenberger), a platoon of plastic army soldiers (lead by the voice of R. Lee Ermey). and Mr. Potato Head (hilariously voiced by Don Rickles). One of the strengths of Toy Story is that almost every one of the toys takes on an individual per- sonality. The funniest lines come from Mr. Potato Head, who has a grumpy de- meanor from having his face con- stantly knocked off. When Andy opens presents for his birthday, Mr. Potato Head wishes hard for a Mrs. See TOY page 9 The East Carolinian Thursday, December 7,1995 L Harris Teeter Tis The Season!

Woody becomes Andy's second favorite toy early in the film when Andy receives a Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). With a flashing laser, retract- able helmet and a digital voice, Buzz immediately becomes Andy's favorite toy, much to Woody's consternation. Though a conflict is usually nec- essary to tell a story, the conflict in Toy Story seems forced. The scenes involving all the toys were much more enjoyable than the feud between Woody and Buzz. When Woody knocks Buzz out of a window, the story really bogs down. And when Buzz and Woody wind up in the sa- distic neighbors' house, the story slows to a crawl. The most memo- rable scenes occur at the beginning and end of the film in Andy's bed- room, not during chase scenes or action sequences. I would have liked to have seen Woody and Buzz come to an agree- ment of the differences through life in the bedroom. Talking through their problems could have been as interesting as the overblown adven- ture in the "real" world. Toy Story has no real substance. Beauty and the Beast succeeds so well as an animated film because it deals with the larger issue of beauty while involving the audience in its captivating plot. The makers of Toy Story seem so enthralled with the idea of computer animation that they put Woody and Buzz in as many un- usual places as possible without re- maining true to the story. In place of an interesting story, the filmmak- ers substitute a multitude of con- flicts. Along with the conflict between Buzz and Woody is the conflict aris- ing because Buzz refuses to believe that he is a toy. He thinks he is the real Buzz Lightyear. His depression when he learns the truth develops no empathy from the audience because his character has never become com- passionate and the conflict feels con- trived. Toy Story's innocuous plot will draw in audiences all season long. Unfortunately, Disney has again aimed at the lowest common denominator in a film. Ever since Beauty and the Beast, the finest achievement ever in animation, the filmmakers at Disney have relied on formulaic plots which take no chances. What a crime to take such an innovative concept such as toys that vhink, talk and walk and give it a storyline with the all the ingenu- ity of a Sylvester Stallone movie. Toy Story is certainly fun. I just wish Disney would take a few more risks. Movies with the intelligence of Million Dollar Duckand That Darned Cat leave the audience flat Next time Disney tries a new concept in film, 1 wish they'd try the concept of writing an interesting story to go with it On a scale of one to ten, Toy Story rates a seven.

I missed the Diane Von Furstenburg Collection special, Fashionable Gifts, 100 Reasons to shop Q2 and Christ- mas Electronics! At least I have caught the QVC Star Wars Collectibles spe- cial, co-hosted by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker himself). I decide to take phone in hand and order the Franklin Mint Collectible Millennium Falcon plate, and some other odds and ends. Mark Hamill smiles at me seductively.

Has lumbago and is an in- somniac because the swelling keeps her up sometimes. She loves QVC be- cause it gives something to do nights when swelling too much.

She wants to know why we need four of them, but I ignore her to unpack Levitron Amazing Anti-Grav Top. Joan Rivers is so pretty. 1:50 p.m. - Think roommate mad, so I order II Makiage set for her, plus Roll-On Waxer, Home Decorating Vase Set, Tomy Big Big Loader playset, a cable chenille fringed sr.arf, Don Mattingly signed rookie card and Little Tykes Soft-Plus Rocking Cow.

On "Cigarette Butts" he gives us a deep, sing-song drone, the kind of sing-speaking Lou Reed has based a career on. It sounds great; I didn't know Gibby had it in him. "Michael Stipe" also finds Haynes stretching his wings a bit on a solid alty ballad about the weird world of celebrity. Obviously a song penned by Depp, "Michael Stipe" casts the introspective REM singer as a sort of celebrity mes- siah. finally talked to Michael Stipe Haynes croons, "he touched me on the arm I met him up in the Hollywood hills among the movie and TV stars Sophia Copolla looked at me I didn't HOW $1.50 Sangrias $2.25 Bloody Marys 12 Price Draft, Ole .950 Mugs $2.50 Lime Margaritas WEDNESDAY $1.50 Mexican Imports THIRSTDAY $2.25 Tequila Sunrise SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY Open 7 Days for Lunch, Dinner, & Fiestas!

Though the guitar work on this sne's kind of simple, Haynes trans- forms his usually gravelly vocals into a lovely, soft patter. Again, I didn't think he was capable of such a stretch, but Haynes proved me wrong. One stretch I kind of wish Haynes hadn't made is on P's cover of Abba's "Dancing Queen They chose to play this one straight, and the vocal is completely outside of Gibby's range. It was funny to hear him warbling so earnestly through this trash at first, but after five or six listens the joke wears thin. A note to every band on Earth: yes. Abba (and most other cheesy disco era pop) is funny, often hys- A couple of verses of "Dancing Queen" is a good laugh. A four- minute cover is torture. Musical departures uch as these are carfully placed through- out the album. Between them, P swings into what I think of as their refrain, a series of songs in the swirling, blues-from-the-eighth-di- mension style of the Butthole Surf- ers. Tunes like "Zing Splash "Oklahoma "Mr. Officer" and "White Man Sings the Blues" could have come right off Independent Worm Saloon or even Locust Abor- tion Technician. That's not to say that these songs are bad. Quite the contrary, these tunes give ' a snap it would lack without them. "Mr. Officer for example, is a vicious bluegrass at- tack on close-minded right wing culture about a redneck sherriff with a gay son. It's music with sharp teeth that's not afraid to sink those Another stand-out track is "Jon Glenn (Mega Mix) a nine-minute ex- travaganza of swirly space music that sounds like the soundtrack to some demented astronaut movie. Along the same lines is "Scrapings from Ring a quiet soundtracky thing that runs nearly eight minutes. I also really like "Die Anne a '50s-style slow-dance number about a girl who wants to commit suicide. "Be true to yourself the gravel- voiced Haynes croons, "die Anne It's a cruel pun, but it makes me laugh. While it may be obvious that Depp wrote the softer stuff and Haynes wrote the weird stuff, that doesn't take away from P's success. The two styles mesh surprisingly well. The guitar work, half of which is Depp's, is nice stuff as well. It's not always something to write home about, but it often soars.

Gifts for family members are slightly easier. Parents have to love you matter what so wrap up the En- paper you got an A on. They'll be to know their tuition money is �ing put to good use. Or give them idmade gift certificates for house- chores or visits if you make them cute enough, they'll never turn them in). This is an idea that costs more than $20, but can get all of your Christ- mas shopping done in one fell swoop. Portraits. That's right portraits. Go down to your local Wal-Mart or Sears portrait studio and have a portrait taken. Then give copies to every rela- tive and friend on your list Want to split the cost? Get your siblings to- gether and take a family shot This is a guaranteed favorite on any parent's or grandparent's wish list and you can keep a few copies too. No matter which gifts you decide on, the important thing is not how much money you spend, but how much thought you put into it Remember, presentation is a big part of any gift so wrap whatever your gift is in a nice i box, with lots of ribbons and bows. With a little effort you can take the chore out of gift-giving and even have fun! And you might even have enough money left over to buy a little some- thing for yourself.

Photo by KEN CLARK "Butterfingers" capture flag football tournament David Gaskins Rec. Services A number of intramural sports activities reached closure this week as participants engage in the final action of the semester before prepar- ing for exams. In perhaps one of the most ea- gerly anticipated match-ups in several years "Butterfingers" defeated the defending champion "Showtime" in the Co-Rec Flag Football Gold Divi- sion finals Monday night This contest between the only two undefeated teams in the league contained numerous individual match- ups including boyfriend against girl- friend, two sets of roommates against each other, relative against relative and co-worker vs. co-worker. However, when all the talk was over and the game began, it was the challengers who came to play. Jeff Schutte of "Butterfingers took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and then Steve Roberson intercepted a pass on "Showtime's" first possession to set the tone for the c itest. Later in the first half, Schutte struck again when he took a short pass from Roberson and turned it into a 65-yard touchdown play. In the sec- ond haif, "Showtime" held on defense and capitalized on a short touchdown pass from Anderson to Steve Flippin and followed that with a conversion pass to Heather Dawson to pull within 12-7. However, on the ensuing drive, "Butterfingers" got a big play as Chris Nunn got behind the defense and caught a Roberson bomb to set up the first and goal from the 5-yard line. After holding for the first three plays, "Showtime's" defense took a cruel bounce on the fourth down play. Roberson's pass into the end zone ricocheted off the face of the defender and took a fortuitous bounce into the hands of Jennifer Collins for the game clinching touchdown. Lynda' McCormick caught the extra point pass also off a tipped ball in the end zone to account for the final margin. Members of the champion "But- terfingers" team include those men- tioned above as well as Colin Mohlmann, Lisa McCarthy, Chip Flynn, Amanda Ross, Zina Briley and Melissa Dawson. "Showtime" was anchored by the pass-catching and defensive efforts of Russell Duvall and Allison Kemp. Other members of "Showtime" in- cluded Matt Snyder, Ronell Jessup, Stephen Smith, Debra Riffle and Rahha Gil. In the Purple division, results of the final were not available at press time for the match-up of "Phi Sigma Pi" and "Silent Attack In the semi- finals, "Silent Attack" rode scores from Peter Crume and-Misty Triplett to a 12-6 win over "Fleming Hall The "Si- lent Attack" unit featured outstanding efforts from several longtime IM vet- erans such as Scott Smith, Fred Royer, Kelie Valdez, Mo Beetham and Josh Lothridge. Aaron Jacobs tallied the lone touchdown for "Fleming Hall In the other semi-final, Vu Donie's fall domination of Co-Rec sports was ended as "Club 106" fell 27-6 to "Phi Sigma Phi" behind three touchdowns by Romel Roucasas. David Emmons, Jason Pointer and Denny O'Brien also scored for the winners while Nick Phillips scored the only touchdown for "Club 106 Doak Walker Award 0 Ohio State's Eddie George (AP) - Like an excited child anx ious to shake hands with a star ath- lete he's only seen from afar, Doak Walker looked forward to meeting Ohio State's Eddie George. "I saw most of his games on tele- vision and I'm excited to finally meet him Walker said Monday after it was announced that George won the top college running back award named for the former SMU great "His statistics and the love his teammates had for him was very im- pressive. I wish I was that young again. He'd be my idol The pair met at an awards ban- quet in Dallas. Walker, who attended Monday's news conference at the headquarters of award sponsor GTE, presented George with the trophy. George, speaking via satellite from the Ohio State campus, said he was eager to meet Walker. "It was quite an experience for me he said. George, a senior, also was a final- ist for the award last year. But a year ago, he ran more like a bulky fullback than a swift tailback. So he dedicated himself to a grueling offseason workout geared to improve his speed, quickness and outside moves. The results were phenomenal, both for George and the Buckeyes. George became a Heisman Tro- phy finalist by leading Ohio State to an 11-1 record and a No. 4 ranking with 1,826 yards and 24 touchdowns, all but one rushing. He led the na- tion in scoring, was fourth with 2,225 all-purpose yards and fifth in rushing. He also was consistent, with 100 yards in every game and more than 200 yards three times, including a school-record 314 yards against Illi- nois. Buckeyes coach John Cooper admitted he wasn't bashful about let- ting George carry the offensive load. "The ball's not very heavy. He can carry that thing as many times as we let him have it Cooper said. "The amazing thing about it is, after play- ing a tough game Saturday, he'd be out there leading our team when we ran wind sprints the following week Just as amazing is George also has found time to remain on sched- Scheduling woes First four home gomes played over break Amanda Ross Sports Editor Wondering why you haven't seen the ECU men's basketball teams play lately? You're not the only one. When this year's schedule came out, many people asked why weren't there more basketball games sched- uled at home. True, there are four regular season games this semester for the men, but they have all been scheduled over holiday breaks. ECU's first home opener game against Elon was Nov. 25. during Thanksgiving break. Attendance was low for the first game, when there should be a lot of fan support for the home opener, especially since this is Joe Dooley's first year, as head coach. The same can be said for the Four of ECU's top 20 crowds at Minges Coliseum came during the '9495 season. 1. 7,670 vs. UNC-W (Feb. 25, 1995) 2. 7,611 vs. James Madison (Jan. 14, 1995) 3. 7,500 vs. EastTenn. State (Jan. 6, 1995) 5. 6,865 vs. Old Dominion (Feb. 20, 1995) women s team. Anne Donovan and her play- ers have played one home game, but that game wasn't over break. However, they too have two games over Christ- mas break. The next game in Miriges before everyone goes home for Christmas break is actually during the break. These are not the best times to hold basketball games, since most of the students are gone for the holidays. However, this scheduling is not done on purpose. In fact, a lot of the games on the schedule are determined years in advance. Conference games are mandated for each year, and the schedules are put out in advance. For example, the conference schedule for next season has already been set Several factors determine when non-conference games are to be played. Games must be scheduled around exam schedules since aca- demic studies are very important for athletes. According to assistant coach Martin McGillan, every team tries to get the best home schedule they can because most of the fan support comes from students and they are the backbone to the crowds. In fact, ECU has 14 homes games this season which is the most since 1935, but the games this semester are played when See SCHEDULING page 17 ule to graduate this spring while also volunteering at a cancer hospital and spending time talking with children. Those factors also contributed to him winning the Walker award. As a bonus, Ohio State receives $10,000 for George's honor. George beat out Karim Abdul- Jabbar of UCLA, Tiki Barber of Vir- ginia, Tim Biakabatuka of Michigan, Warrick Dunn of Florida State, George Jones of San Diego State, Wasean Tait of Toledo and Moe Will- iams of Kentucky. Although Troy Davis of Iowa State and Darnell Autry of Northwest- ern also are running backs and Heisman finalists, they weren't up for the Walker award because it goes to players within a year of graduating, and both are sophomores. After accepting the Walker, George will be honored for it again tonight in Orlando, Fla in a nation- ally televised ceremony for all colle- giate award winners. And then he's off to New York See EDDIE page 17 Sto4ltte& ECU's men's basketball team traveled to Spartanburg, S.C. to take Wofford College, in what was thought to be an easy victory. The Monday night game pit- ted the Pirates against the Terri- ers, who are making their debut in the Division I level of play in collegiate basketball this season. The Pirates did come away with a victory, but only by a 10 point mar- gin, 68-58. "This is a tough place to play said ECU Head Coach Joe Dooley. Indeed it was tough for the Pirates. Wofford was down by nine points at one time and cut the lead to 57-52 with 4:12 remaining in the game. The Pirates pulled ahead by four when Tony Parharn hit one of two free throws, but after a Terrence Giiyard bucket for Wofford ECU's lead was held to two points, 5856. ' Morris Grooms and Tim Basham stepped up big in the final moments of play after an eight-foot jumper by Grooms and a three point basket from Basham. The Pirates shot poorly from the free throw line hitting just 16 of 31 shots. However, when the shots were needed the Pirates pulled through and hit 5 of 6 free throws in the fi- nal 49 seconds. Dooley realized the importance of hitting free throw shots and thought his team could have done a better job. "We could have put the game away earlier if we made our free throws said Dooley. "It seemed if we had done it earlier we wouldn't have had to make a lot of pressure free throws as we did later Leading the way for Pirate scorers were Jonathan Kerner with 19 points. Grooms with 11 points, Basham with 10 points and Parham with nine points. The Pirates will travel to Conway, S.C. to take on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

Many are not happy with the final offer from the league, as shown by the narrow 27-26 vote in favor Monday night. But it means they could be back on the courts blow- ing their whistles within a week. And many NBA players, tired of replacement refs, are glad they're coming back. "I can't wait to see the old refs back. It's going to be incredible. It's time to get this B.S. out of the way. When you have inexperienced refs, they try hard, but they make crummy calls Miami Heat forward Kevin Willis said. Replacement officials, mostly from the CBA, have been handling NBA games since the lockout be- gan Oct. 1, amid complaints from players that they sometimes didn't have games under control and didn't know the NBA game. In a game Monday betwee Mi- ami and Boston, there was a fight between the Celtics' Pervis Ellis and the Heat's Kurt Thomas that prompted police and security personel to separate players and keep fans off the court Boston won the game in double overtime. "Even though we beat ourselves, the refereeing was horrendous. They shouldn't be able to call a high school game. It's sickening what they do. They blew the whistle too much, I thought there was an echo in the building. At one point I was scared to touch anyone said Heat center Alonzo Mourning, who complained last season about the regular refer- ees and their calls in the playoffs. When the regular refs will return is not certain. They voted Monday on the day that replacement crews were to expand from two to three. And the vote reflected the dissatisfaction of some. "Not everybody was totally pleased with the deal, b?jt the rank and file spoke said Fred Slaughter, the attorney representing the offi- cials. "It was a majority Slaughter couldn't guess when the referees will be back on court. "I hope soon he said. "I can't get you a date Jeffrey Mishkin, the NBA's chief legal officer, said he planned to meet today with Slaughter to work out details. "If we can reach a signed agree- ment in the next few days, then the referees should be back on the court within a week he said. Veteran official Mike Mathis, who was on the committee negoti- ating with the owners, said his group was split. "You could say it was a good- news, bad-news situation if you want to Mathis said after Monday's 4 14-hour meeting at a hotel near O'Hare International Airport. "We're all happy to be going to back to work, but there are some veteran officials who feel this deal wasn't good for them. Obviously there are some questions about pen- sion and severance money we have to discuss Fifty-three of the 55 referees voted, with Jake O'Donnell and Jack Madden the absentees because of health reasons. Paul Mihalak, a 26-year veteran official, said the absences of those two could have swung the outcome. "This could have gone the See NBA page 16 PUMthL �pi�il�. ���.� . �� � r"i 16 Thursday, December 7,1995 The East Carolinian 'NBA from page 15 y other way he said. "But we'll live with it" " Slaughter said there were sev- eral issues debated Monday, includ- � ing a pension plan. Under the new deal, pensions would go from $2,700 for every year worked to $3,330 in �' the final year of the contract Under the five-year agreement, first-year referees would make $75,000 this year and $99,000 in the final year of the deal. Veteran offi- cials would be paid $211,000 this year and $278,000 in the final year. The league has claimed the raises would make NBA officials the TEC WISHES THE PLAYERS AND COACHES GOOD LUCK IN MEMPHIS highest paid in sports, but the refer- ees said they would not "With our new deal, we feel we'll be close to baseball, but still well be- low where hockey officials are at" Mihalak said. "We'll never catch hockey officials The NBA said the referees will not get retroactive play for the games missed since the lockout began. "There is nothing to indicate we will receive play for the time we missed. Nobody walking out of this room feels that we will Mathis said. And Mihalak stressed that the pension plan is a concern, especially for the older refs. "I'm one of those officials"where the pension situation in this deal is not a great one he said. "What it is going to do is force me to work longer than I planned on doing he said. Now it's time to get back to do- ing what they know. "All our guys need to take physi- cals in New Jersey. After they pass the stress test and physicals and a short briefing on the rules, they should be ready to go Mathis said.

When scheduling the games, a lot of the decision making comes down to where ECU has played before, and if those teams are willing to make a commitment to come back and play in Greenville. A good example of this is Colorado St when four years ago ECU traveled to Fort Collins, Colo, to take on the Rams, in agreement they would come to ECU and play the Pi- rates. The Rams will now come to Greenville this Dec. 20 for a match- up with the Pirates. "It's a big peg board said McGillan. "Everybody is trying to play everybody else The schedules try to accommo- date all the teams involved. Some- times it is not that easy. When confer- ence play starts most teams don't want to venture too far away from home to play non-conference contests. Confer- ence season is more important there- fore, players and coaches must con- centrate more on those games than non-conference games. Attendance is also a must for the conference games, as squads vie for conference championships and a spot in the NCAA tournament Needless to talog ! onnection 25 i Any One Regular Priced Item Expires December 1" I Discount Catalog CTothinj For Men And Women iui 5ih sjicci A division of.l.B.F. say, cheering is vital during these games. "If you had your druthers you would want students at conference games than non-conference games McGillan said. ECU has never finished worse than third in attendance in the CAA, and they hope to keep it that way. When the Pirates play in January, the coaches and players hope to see the stands crowded with cheering students. Christmas break will be over so most students should be back to watch the Pirates. Over Christmas break if you are in Greenville or nearby, go to one of the three games over the break. The men will play Dec. 18 vs. Campbell; Dec. 20 vs. Colorado St; and Dec. 23 vs. SW Missouri St The women will play Furman Dec. 19 and Appalachian St Dec. 28. All games start at 7 p.m except the SW Missouri St. game, which will begin at 3 p.m. EDDIE from page 15 for Saturday's Heisman Trophy an- nouncement, where George hopes to follow Colorado's Rashaan Salaam as the second straight Walker winner to bag that award, too.
