The East Carolinian
Recreation Center ready to open
September will
end near decade
of anticipation
Amy L Royster
Assistant News Editor
The long-awaited Student Recre-
ation Center is finally opening and the
entire campus community will reap
the numerous benefits of a center that
has been a work in progress since
ftotw pimn cy thte wtontKi ptww ttf rfC SRi
The second floor of the new center will
house three aerobic studios (3).
1987.
The Student Government Asso-
ciation passed a resolution to con-
struct the facility in 1987. The
150,000 square foot complex located
adjacent to the Mendenhall Student
Center is 139,000 square feet larger
than any current recreational facility
on campus.
According to Nancy Mize, direc-
tor of recreational services, the facil-
ity is as large if not larger than any
comparable facility in the state.
"The architect did a great job of
making it attractive as well as effi-
cient, Mize said.
"It's really going to
be state of the art
compared to any-
thing in the United
States, not just east-
ern North Caro-
lina
Mize said that
the facility will in-
clude a six-court
sports forum for
basketball, volley-
ball and badminton.
The 10,000
square foot weight
training facility is
equipped with
Cybex equipment as
well as cardiovascu-
lar equipment and
free weights.
There is an indoor swimming
pool with eight lanes which can ac-
commodate lap swimming and water
polo. A leisure pool is connected to
the main pool and has jets and seat-
ing. The indoor pool ranges from three
feet to five feet two inches.
The outdoor pool is 20 feet by
40 feet A large deck circles the pool
and will be furnished with deck chairs.
Another feature of the center is
a three-lane track on the second floor.
Mize said that five circles around the
track is equivalent to one mile.
Mize said one end of the facility
is anc lored by a 28-foot high climb-
ing wall. There will be climbing in-
struction provided by recreational
services.
Seven racquet courts line one
side of the sports forum. Mize said
equipment will be available for check
out at the front desk.
According to Mize, students do
not need memberships to use the cen-
ter. Students need to show their stu-
dent I.Ds and can bring as many
guests as they like.
Mize predicted that there would
be between three and five thousand
students using the facility daily.
"We are looking at large .lumbers
of people but the primary users are
students Mize said.
The complex was scheduled to
take only 18 months to complete. The
center has been under construction
for two and a half years.
Mize said that the ex-
pected date of comple-
tion is Sept 19.
"It will take three to
four weeks to become
operational after the
19th Mize said. "We
are shooting for fall
break
Some students
have been hired to staff
the center already. Mize
said that there are still
positions available and
the entire staff will num-
ber around 150.
"We'd love to have
freshmen turn in appli-
cations Mize said.
Mize said physical
education classes would
be taught in the build-
ing during limited times.
"This is the first
time in the history of
ECU that there has been
a facility dedicated to
students Mize said.
Mize encouraged
students to come by 204
Christenbury if they are
interested in joining the
recreational services
advisory council. The
council will decide on the rules and
regulations of the facility.
The center's first floor has a six-court sports forum(l), a weight training
center(2), four pool areas(4), and an outdoor adventure center(6).
Future of parking deck looks grim
Kelly Sullivan
Staff Writer
Parking concerns were just one
of the topics discussed at a board of
trustees meeting in July.
In the meeting, trustees heard
reports from ECU administrators
about plans to relieve parking con-
gestion, including the feasibility of a
parking deck.
Layton Getsinger, associate vice
chancellor for business affairs, told
the board that the construction of a
parking deck could cost more than
$9,000 per space and could raise
parking fees by $80 a year. Students,
faculty and staff currently pay $96
per decal.
"The bottom line is that a deck
will cost $9,000 per space with an
increase of only 1000 spaces
Getsinger said. "It would cost us $9
dollars over a 20 year period with
the bond if we appropriate the cost
over 13,000 decals every year. Each
decal would cost $175.
"There is also the ongoing cost
of maintenance with a parking deck.
There's security, lighting and 24-hour
staffing. Currently enrolled students,
including freshmen, would never get
to use the completed deck, but they
would have the privilege of helping
to finance it
Getsinger continued to give as
many reasons against the deck as in
favor of it
"As far as my personal interests
go, a parking deck adds some type
of beauty to a campus, but in my ex-
amination of other campuses with
Gicks, I have found that it would not
be the best utilization of land on our
campus Getsinger said.
"Just because other campuses
within the UNC system have decks
is not a good reason for us to build
one he said. "A deck is something
we can always build if we have to,
but I believe that there are other
solutions.
"I believe that we can create
2,000 spaces over the next five years
without increasing the cost of decals
because it will be an incremental in-
crease instead of all at once

Favorite campus
hangout gets facelift
Expansion creates
sophisticated
new atmosphere
AmyLRoytter
?UJIiCuLit Ntim OnHtor
The heart ofcampus began a seven-
month evolution this summer which
started with construction of the Wright
Plafe hxpansion and will end in Decem-
ber wita sopWsticatJd student plaza.
' 0-r the summer, the Wright Place
E&asion and the plaza development
project tore up the road between the
Wright Place and the Rawl building,
Hooked off pedestrian traffic through the
area all summer and temporanly relo-
cated the entrance of the student store.
Noty. half of the construction area from
Wright Circle towards the entrance to
the Ravi building, including the Student
State and the newly renovated Wright
Place, will be open when students return
to class. The new addition to the Wright
Place as well as the student plaza will be
complete at the end of the fall semester.
According to Frank Salamon, direc-
tor of Campus Dining Services, there are
three goals of the project adding seats,
speeding up service and creating a stu-
dent plaza.
The primary goal of adding seating
was to increase the number of seats 50
percent The seating will be housed in
an additional box-shaped space with
three glass walls and a ceiling.
"Ovr expansion will move the num-
ber of seats from 200 to 300 Salamon
said.
Salamon said that increasing the
speed students moved through the facil-
ity was another objective which was met
this summer. Cashiers have been moved
together into a group near the front of
the food court area in order to create a
more efficient traffic flow. A second deli-
catessen was added in the back and grab
and-go type items were placed near the
cashiers.
The Wright Place will offer all the
same items as last semester. Students can
purchase hot sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza,
packaged salads, home-made snacks, bev-
erages and gourmet coffee.
The final objective of the plaza de-
velopment project was to create an at-
tractive place for students to gather out-
side of the Wright Place.
"The outside will visually impact
campus more than anything has in a long
time Salamon said. "It will turn a street
and sidewalk scene into a student and
pedeXstrian plaza
Salamon said that by the end of the
semester, the area between the Wright
Place and the Raw! building will be a
brick walkway. A wall with seating will
be built on each side of the Rawl build-
ing and on the side of Wright Audito-
rium
A new entrance and lobby to the
Student Store will also be added this
semester, as well as a vine-covered trellis
and outdoor seating for the Wright Place.
Salamon said that
the landscaping will come
as cooler weather does.
"In the second
phase, we will be planting
trees. We will put more
trees into the area than
were taken out"
While Salamon con-
cedes that it will still be
an inconvenience to get
through the unfinished
plaza, he points out that
the construction is in re-
sponse to students needs.
"We respond to stu-
dents' input" Salamon
said. "Students told us
?
that they needed to get
out of the Wright Place
faster and they needed
more seats. This is a stu-
dent-driven project We

Construction causes changes in traffic pattern
Recent changes
have eliminated
the circular drive
around the mall.

Parking and Traffic
Services
Traffic patterns around the mall have
been permanently changed on campus as
part of the mall redesign project.
According to Leslie Craigle, director
of marketing for business services, the traf-
fic changes were needed in order to accom-
modate the additions of the Cupola and
an extended mall area.
"The project is going to be an exten-
sion of the mall area which will adjoin to
the area in front of the library Craigle
said in an interview this summer. "The
project is being handled by facility ser-
vices.
Craigle said that the mall, project
would enter a new phase when Alumni
Circle changes from one-way to two-way
traffic. Alumni Circle, which runs along the
north side of the Flanagan building. Stu-
dent Health Services and Joyner Library
will end with vehicles turning in to the Stu-
dent Health Services parking lot. The two-
way portion of Alumni Circle which pres-
ently runs from Faculty Way near Student
Financial Aid toward Joyner Library, will
dead end near the library and the State
vehicle lot near Mail Services.
Pat Gertz, director of parking and traf-
fic services, said that the traffic changes
would begin before the next phase of con-
struction on the mall begins.
"The work to the road is probably al-
ready started Gertz said. "It (Alumni
Circle) will be officially closed off Friday
According to Craigle, he portion of
Alumni Circle which currently runs in front
of Joyner will be closed in order to be in-
corporated into a pedestrian area of the
mall.
Gertz said that in the process of rede-
signing the mall, a number of parking
spaces will be eliminated or transferred to
other areas. Patient parking will be relo-
cated between the Student Health Services
building and Joyner Library. Contractor

The East Carolinian
Student fee riddle solved
Jacqueline D. Helium
Staff Writer
Many students will be coming
back to ECU during the first week
of classes, and all of them, in one
way or another, will pay their tu-
ition and fees at the Cashier's of-
fice.
While paying for tuition is self-
explanatory, students may not al-
ways know exactly what they are
paying for when they pay their stu-
dent fees each semester.
"There is as much misinforma-
tion as there is no information to
students as to what their money
supports University Cashier
Michael Balko said. "Tuition goes
toward the educational cost of in-
structing students here at East
Carolina. At the current time there
are three required fees in conjunc-
tion with tuition
Those three required fees are
the educationaltechnology fee,
the health services fee, and univer-
sity fees.
Mr. 3alko elaborated on what
services are paid for by what fees.
"The first one is an educa-
tionaltechnoiogy fee of $30 per
semester. This fee funds an initia-
tive to give students hands-on, state
of the art equipment Balko said.
The health fee students pay is
$65 a semester.
"The health service fee is self-
explanatory. It furnishes a staff and
facility for your immediate medical
needs while you're here on cam-
pus Balko said.
Any medicines which students
receive through the student health
.center are provided to them at dis-
count prices, while health fees help
pay for the rest of the expense.
The university fees are $344 a
semester, and cover a variety of ser-
vices from recreational to athletic.
"It supports the student gov-
ernment association, transit ser-
vices, the media, fine arts,

While many of the services that

with other schools, and that stu-

I welcome you to the campus as we begin the 1996-97
academic year. You have my best wishes for meaningful
and productive experiences at ECU this year.
If you are a returning student, you will note that the
summer has brought some changes on campus. The firsc
phase of the Joyner Library renovation is complete and
you will find far more effective space for your library
work. The Wright Plaza, the Cupola, and the Student
Recreation Center are also among the improvements soon to
be completed that we hope you will enjoy.
If you are a transfer student or a freshman, I join with
colleagues in issuing a special welcome. ECU has a
special place in our hearts and we hope that you will
soon consider the University to be your new home.
Indeed, we strive to create and maintain an academic
community small enough for you to feel at home but large
enough to provide the kind of opportunities you will need
in your preparations for the years ahead.
Work hard, enjoy yourself, too, and fill your year with
both the good memories and the accomplishments that will
cause you always to hold East Carolina dear!
All best wishes.

University symbol returns
Replica of original
honors alumni,
adds distinction
Marguerite Benjamin
News Editor
? Among the construction
projects in progress on campus, one
of tjhe sites-to-be is not so much new
as it is renewed.
I In 1968, amid much protest,
t&e oldest and longest standing
building on campus was torn down
in order to make room for bigger
arid better structures. Now a rep-
lica of the Old Austin Cupola is
being built after nearly 30 years.
At the construction site, lo-
cated in the center of the on-cam-
pus mall area, a commemorative
walkway is being constructed in
oider to honor alumni and their
family members.
The idea to reconstruct the
Cupola was developed along with
the University's Master Plan. The
expense of building the gazebo-
style cupola totals $250 thousand.
! The organization most respon-
sible for the courtyard of recogni-
tibn is ECU Telefund, one of the
university's premier fund-raising or-
ganizations.
ECU Telefund Assistant Direc-
tor Brian Hardy said recreating the
Cupola will bring back a symbol of
tlfre university's past
! "As well as being a reminder
of the past, the Cupola will become
a! new symbol and a focal point for
tie university Hardy said.
Hardy 5l,ared some Telefund
hjstory with TEC stating that the
organization was started in Janu-
ary 1994 in order to raise unre-
stricted dollars for the university.
Telefund employs students who call
various groups and individuals as-
sociated with the university and
request donations.
"In relation to the Old Austin
pjroject, students were told to in-
form alumni that for each gift of
?250 donated, they could have a
bjrick reserved in their name to be
placed in the area around the Cu-
pola Hardy said, adding that 3,000
of the available 10,000 spaces in
the courtyard have been sold.
; Hardy said most of the alumni
vfho were called were excited about
the return of the Cupola.
j "The older alumni were pleas-
aintly surprised because they
wanted to keep it (the original
structure) in the first place Hardy
said. "There was actually a fight to
keep the building since it was the
first one constructed when the cam-
pus was founded
Hardy said he also received a
large response from parents who
wanted to recognize their children
who are currently enrolled.
"People are excited about be-
ing recognized Hardy said.
Hardy said the original loca-
tion for the replica was set for an
area near the Student Recreation
Center which is also under con-
struction.
"Later it was decided that the
architecture of the buildings in that
area did not match the design of
the cupola which would be made
to match the original architecture
of the Old Austin 3uilding Hardy-
said. "So they thought it would be
better to move it to the mall area
near the old cafeteria building and
the surrounding residence halls
,After the construction on
Joyner Library is completed, the
Cupola will be visible from both
10th and 5th Streets.
"It will sit right in front of the
columns of the library Hardy said.
The remaining (brick) spaces
around the Cupola are still avail-
able but will be sold at a higher
price. For more information, con-
tact Hardy at 328-4215.

For freshmen
who are just entering
college and are not
sure about what path
to take for the next
four years, or who are
simply up for a new
challenge, the Army
Reserve Officer's
Training Corps may
add some direction
and definition to your
college experience.
Capt. Thomas
Cooke, who teaches
the freshman ROTC Photo Courtesy of Army ROTC
class, wants to make ROTC Cadet Israel Angeles gives a briefing to classmates at Fort Bragg
sure freshmen know during a weekend training exercise,
about the various ad-
Signing up for Army ROTC
does not obligate students to per-
form years of military service.
"There is no obligation to the
military as a freshman, "Cooke said.
"As a freshman, it's a two-credit
hour class. You don't have to buy
anything; everything is provided for

vantages.that the ROTC can give
them.
Cooke said he believes that
many freshmen are frightened away
from considering ROTC as a class
option because of misconceptions
they may have of the Army. Accord-
ing to Cooke, these misconceptions
result from films in which military
service is presented in an unflat-
tering light
classroom, and for a two hour lab
once a week. If students do a se-
mester of ROTC and decide they
don't like it, they don't have to sign
up for the class the next semester.
Students who decide that the
military has something to offer
them will be part of a group that
will provide them training, disci-

The East Carolinian
Center offers major information
Photo Courtesy of ECU Report. Alumni Publication
Students learn about the latest career options and job listings on
bulletin boards at the Career Services Center.
It is never too
early to start
career planning
Amena Hassan
News Writer
ECU has a variety of majors,
and as students begin entering their
career fields, they have the option
of exploring information related to
their career interest on campus.
Although many freshmen begin
looking into their career options at
the counseling center, they can also
begin at career services. Career ser-
vices, located on East Fifth Street
opposite the Jenkins Fine Arts
Building, is a facility that enables
incoming freshman to explore po-
tential majors.
"We have a system called
MACES (Major and Career Explora-
tion System) that lists all the ma-
jors available at ECU with a brief
description of those majors said
Jeff S. Henley, assistant director of
career services. "Students car. find
MACES on the Internet and connect
to our home page from most com-
puter labs on campus, where we are
listed under Student Life
Students can reach the home
page at http:ecuvax.cis.edu
studlifecareerindex.htm.
"We also have other software
such as Siggy, an easy-to-use com-
puterized guidance program. Dis-
cover, and listings from the Occu-
pational Outlook Handbook, which
lists over 300 occupations Henley-
said.
Later, when freshmen have
chosen their majors and approach
their senior year, Career Services
becomes a major tool for many stu-
dents.
"Career services
can help them with
more active tasks at
this point Henley
said.
Some services
available are job refer-
rals, assistance in
writing resumes and
mock interviews
which polish commu-
nication skills.
The facility also
co-sponsors Career
D. vs. The annual
events welcome repre-
sentatives from sev-
eral companies and
small businesses to
talk to students and
provide valuable in-
formation.
"Career Days that
occur during the aca-
demic year are the Criminal Justice,
Business. Technical Writing, and
Health Career Days Henley said.
The cooperative education of-
fice, located in Room 2300 in the
General Classroom Building, is an-
other facility that freshmen may
want to visit. Pointing students to-
wards jobs before they graduate
provides the experience that many
employers require.
"However, students have to ob-
tain a minimum 2.0 grade point av-
erage to apply for any job through
the co-op office said Mary M.
Cauley. EdD, director of coopera-
tive education. "Once a student is
eligible, they can attend any of the
seminars given by co-op twice a
week
Dates for the seminars can be
found at the co-op office or in the
"Clue Book" which can be picked
up at Mendenhall.
"Freshmen will be in college
for a long time, and once they settle
into ECU. we are ready to help them
with their needs Cauley said.
"Even if students have not entered
their major, they can still obtain
preparatory experience through
other jobs

SGA: For students, by students
Amy L Royster
Assistant News Editor
Greenville, NC 27858
Whether or not incoming students
decide to get involved, ECU's Student
Government Association (SGA) makes
decisions which effect all Pirates.
According to Jonathan Phillips.
SGA's treasurer, the primary purpose
of SGA is to provide a link between stu-
dents and administration. The second-
ary but more widely known role of SGA
is the appropriation of funds to various
campus organizations.
"There are about 80 organizations
SGA provides funding for Phillips said.
"We also assist all kinds of academic
clubs on campus
Phillips said SGA has an annual
budget of $180,000 which is derived
from $9.75 per student The organiza-
tion also has an interest-drawing reserve
fund which is used for special projects.
Last year. $40,000 rolled over into the
fund.
Appropriations are made after a
campus group submits an official re-
quest and a line-item budget Phillips
said that the size of the group and merit
are considered when the ten-person
appropriations committee makes a de-
cision.
"The committee tries to give the
organization enough money to go to
their conference Phillips said. "We
never fully fund organizations because
we like to see them put forth an effort

SGA is composed of three branches
which provide many positions for stu-
dents to fill, in the executive branch,
students hold the positions of president,
vice-president, trea-
surer and secretary ??????
for the entire SGA
and for each of the
four classes.
The judicial
branch offers stu-
dents the chance to
hold seats on the
honor board. Fresh-
men have a good
opportunity to par-
ticipate in the legis-
lative branch as rep-
resentatives.
The final
branch is the legis-
lative, which con- ???????????
sists of student-representatives. In or-
der to be a representative students can
come to Mendenhall 225 and fill cut
an application. Approximately 45 stu-
dents are elected anil ten are appointed
after a screening process. Two students
per residence hall and one student per
every 350 day students fill representa-
tive positions.
According to Eric Rivenbark, SGA's
Wee-president freshmen can participate
in SGA during their first semester.
"It's easy to get involved and I
would recom-
mend it
Rivenbark said.
"Don't be intimi-
dated. Jump in
with both feet"
Fall elec-
tions take place
during the fifth
week of the se-
mester. Phillips
said that the
SGA plans to an-
nounce exact
dates in The East
Carolinian
(TEC). Executive
????????????? pOSjtions are
elected during spring elections.
Anyone with a valid student iden-
tification card is eligible to vote in SGA ,
elections. Phillips said that in the 19
spring elections, 2,200 students voted.

unit on duty
Jacqueline D. Kellum
Staff Writer
The student population of ECU is
protected by the ECU police force which
is on duty full time on campus grounds.
Supplementing the efforts of the police
is the student patrol.
The student patrol is on duty every
night on the main campus and at the
Brody Building to keep an eye out for
anything unusual or
suspicious and to
act as an extension
of the regular police
force. They also run
an escort service
which helps stu-
dents get around
campus, especially
at night
"Our job is
mainly on-campus,
with the residence
halls, and special
events like football
and basketball
games, and what-
ever else should hap-
pen to come up
said Student Patrol
Director Rinardo
Reddick.
The majority of the student patrol's
time is spent monitoring the residence
halls at night usually on foot
"For residence hall patrol, they're
on foot, going around their sections, and
then if someone needs to have a escort
done, we have a vehicle we use for that
Most of the things we do are on foot"
Reddick said.
The student p trol is equipped with
communication gear rather than weap-
ons. If they come across a situation which

the regular police force is better equipped
to handle, they are able to contact them.
"The radio is what we mainly count
on, because it gives us direct access to
what they're doing, and vice versa. We
could easily come on the radio and say
there's a ten-forty, which is a fight and -
the officers would be right there to help ?
us. We are basically their eyes to what's '?'
happening on campus Reddick said.
Other than the radios, the gear
which the student patrol carries is mini-
maL
"We have
regular walkie-
talkies like the;
sworn officers ??2
here do, and the ?
same ashlight.
And then we have 2
the keys we use to ?
get into the resi- ???
dence halls, if?"
there was an ?
'SSI
emergency or ??
something of that jg
nature, or we g
needed to check a ??
door. If we found SI
a door unlocked j?
late at night we 3
have the keys in
our possession to
lock them Reddick said.
If there are students interested in 3
becoming part of the student patrol, ?
Reddick says all majors are welcome to ?'
apply. S
"I'm looking for persons who are J
very person-oriented and easy to get ?
along with, take orders very well friendly, z?
outgoing, they're not afraid to ask ques- ?
tions We do criminal background checks, ?!
because of the liability that we have S
Reddick said. E
Students on the patrol are expected : ?
to keep their grades up, and Reddick said ?
grades would be checked.
"There's a certain grade point aver- 3
age that you have to maintain, just to be ?;
a student patrol officer, which is a 2.0 Jj
Reddick said. gj
Reddick said that students on the J
patrol may have to plan ahead a little J
better with their studies than most, given Z
the hours that they work.
"Typically the hours during the
school year for the student patrol are-
from eight p.m. to 2 a.m. There are usu-?
ally eight students out each night jj
Reddick said.
m
For the student who is looking to;
supplement their financial aid or earn Jj
spending money, the student patrol is a '
paid position.
"The pay will be $5.10 an hour for:
residence hall iatrol, and $6.15 an hour
for special events. There's a maximum
of twenty hours a week for residence hall!
patrol, and 19 hours a week for special v
events Reddick said.
Special events could include basket
in
ball or football games, or just the gen
eral confusion that usually accompanies;
the first day of registration and paying
for fees.
If any students are interested in join
ing the student patrol, the office is k
cated in the police headquarters on tenths
street

SGA
from page 13
125 percent of ECU'S student popula-
tion.
"That percentage is around aver-
age Phillips said. "Nationwide, ten per-
cent is the average in college elections
The current SGA president, Angela
Nix. is a senior accounting major.
Rivenbark is a senior business major
and Phillips is a senior with a double
major in political science and finance.
SGA's secretary Julie Thompson is also
a senior who is majoring in education.
Phillips said that so far, the SGA
has already delivered one campaign
promise by changing the times of home
football games from around noon to
later in the afternoon. The first three
home games of the season are sched-
uled to begin at 4 p.m. Momecoming
and the Ia-t home game are scheduled
for 2 pjit kick-offs.
Phillips said SGA plans to initiate
a book bartering system to be utilized
by students. The system would allow
students in need of particular books to
locate other students with those books
via computers.
"SGA wants to use it (The Book
Barter System) in the spring semester
Phillips said. "It will save students
money
Another point of interest to SGA
are the residence halls that lack air-con-
ditioning.
"We're trying to help the adminis-
tration form a plan to have all residence
halls air conditioned Phillips said.
Another project mentioned to be
in the works wus a plan to paint the
railroad overpass, which passes above
Charles Blvd. between Greenville Blvd.
and 14th St, purple and gold.
Phillips said that in light of con-
troversy over 60 contested votes dur-
ing the spring elections, SGA is look-
ing into more efficient polling proce-
dures.
"Hopefully, as of this year we will
be going to an electronic system
Phillips said. "SGA is looking at the
possibility of students having a card
that combines the student identifica-
tion card, the meal card and the library
card. This card could also be used at
the poll place
With all the changes Phillips ex-
pects SGA to implement, he encour-
ages incoming students to join the or-
ganization.
"The benefits are numerous
Phillips said. "SGA builds character
and leadership skills. It prepares you
for the business world early by start
ing students off in the right direction

pline, lifelong friends and the eligi-
bility to compete for scholarships.
"We can help people get
through school because there's a
lot of money there he said. "It'll
pay for your full tuition, $450 for
books a year and a $150 (a month)
stipend. Freshmen can compete for
a three-year scholarship just after
their first semester
A minimum 2.5 GPA and at
least an 850 SAT is required to be
considered for Army ROTC schol-
arships. Students accepting schol-
arships are required to serve a cer-
tain amount of time in military ser-
vice.
The ROTC can be a valuable as-
set to incoming freshmen by help-
ing them to settle in. Cooke said
that all ROTC freshmen are as-
signed a sponsor, who will be a
sophomore, junior, or senior ROTC
member. The sponsor shows their
freshman around campus, helps
them with registration if necessary
and answers any questions they
might have.
"I would say that the students
learn more from each other than
from us Cooke said of the spon-
sor system.
After the initial settling-in pe-
riod, there are many activities avail-
able to ROTC students, some of
which are training-related and oth-
ers purely social.
"We do a lot of adventure train-
ing Cooke said. "We do
rappelling, we're taking a ski trip,
and we also do weekend exercises.
We do those (weekend exercises)
about once a month
Cooke said the social activities
might include events such as pic-
nics, tailgate parties at football
games and a formal dinner held
once a semester.
There is also a chance for in-
terested ROTC members to com-
pete in their own sport
"We have a varsity sport, which
most people don't know, called
Ranger ChaMenge Cooke said.
"It's a series of military events like
physical fitness, marksmanship, and
land navigation. Cadets cross a
river with a rope bridge, and they
do a 10 km march
After completing their four
years of ROTC in college, those who
choose to make a career of the mili-
tary will not necessarily be spend-
ing all their time on rifle drills and
outdoor marches. There are many
other jobs in the military covering
a variety of disciplines.
"For every guy shooting a rifle,
there's ten people behind him
Cooke said, referring to people
working at desks and driving trans-
ports as examples. "It's amazing
the things you can doYou can be
a lawyer, a dentist, or anything. It's
really very diverse
The ROTC has as many oppor-
tunities for female students as for
anyone else.
"It's not broken down-you're
male, you're female. Everyone gets
the same training and is held to the
same standards Cooke said. "The
percentage of women is about 20
percent, which is really not as much
as we'd like
Cooke said the ROTC has much
to offer incoming freshmen?disci-
pline, motivation and physical fit-
ness among other things. And for
those who choose it, a military ca-
reer after college can be equally as
rewarding. Some cadets choose to
serve a few years in order to pay
back scholarships. During their en-
listment, they can receive training
that prepares them for finding a job
when they get out
"We can offer you a job and
you do something worthwhile for
four years; and you have a resume
that's two or three pages long
Cooke said.
For anyone who would like
more information about ROTC be-
fore enrolling, there will be an in-
formation session on day two of ori-
entation in Room 1016 of the Gen-
eral Classroom building. Students
can also go by the ROTC office in
Rawl Room 346 or call 328-6967
and ask for Captain Cooke.

Under the administration's plan
ECU expects to add an additiona
2,000 spaces of surface parking ir
the area north of Dowdy-Ficklen Sta
dium currently used as intramural
fields. New intramural fields will be
constructed on donated land neat
the Allied Health Building.
The first step in the plan is to
add 879 spaces in the field behind
Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium once the
new intramural fields are completed.
This will take about a year and a
half, Getsinger said.
Other inexpensive parking op-
tions are also being explored, includ-
ing the widening of Chancellor Way,
the road that runs in front of Cot-
ton, Jarvis and Fleming dorms, to
allow perpendicular parking.
Getsinger said that parking will
come back on line after current cam
pus construction winds down.
"Parking should start getting
considerably better he said.
Money isn't the only reason
other options should be explored,
Getsinger said. While a parking deck
would increase parking spaces, there
is also evidence that it would in-
crease crime on cam) us.
"Through my exploration of the
possibility of a parking deck, I have
become aware that on other cam-
puses with decks, the number of per-
sonal assaults and instances of ve-
hicle vandalism have increased.
Decks bring a new set of problems
to the campus
One of the reasons Getsinger
sees a parking deck as an unneces-
sary expense is the level of success
that the transit system has had with
the shuttle service.
"We've gotten to the point
where there is a ten-minute turn-
around with the shuttle system
Getsinger said. "A ten-minute walk
to anywhere on campus is consid-
ered an easy distance and reason-
able traveling time
FEES
from page 4
dents have to pay fees for services
that they don't think they person-
ally will use, but that making the
fees mandatory for everyone is the
best way to bring the services to
the majority.
"We understand that when you
make something required for 17,
700 students, it's not going to be
100 percent applicable 100 percent
of the time for all 17.700 students,
but we know by making it a re-
quired fee that we are bringing the
services to the mass number at the
lowest price Balko said.
Balk wished to stress to stu-
dents that paying for tuition and
paying fees are two very different
things. Tuition is determined by the
state and covers strictly educa-
tional costs, whereas the required
fees are reviewed and set by the
board of trustees, with final ap-
proval by the N.C. Board of Gover-
nors.

While you're

staff of The East

hard at work
producing a
paper full of the
latest in news,
features, sports
and
commentary.
"Pick m$ up
We're available
every Tuesday
and Thursday.
By the students and for the students-7e East Carolin-
ian.
The student newspaper celebrates its 71st year of publica-
tion this fall, and thanks to students, we're still going strong.
We give thanks to not only the students who read TEC, but to
the students who spend countless hours running it
We stay late and rise early to make sure this publication
is the best it can be, and yes, we make mistakes-that goes
along with the learning experience we gain by working for
the newspaper. We have exams and social events to attend
just like anyone else, but TEC gives us an extra identity with
campus. We always look forward to seeing new faces and you
never know, yours could be next
TEC News always aims to get the scoop (sometimes suc-
ceeding and other times not) The news section features ev-
erything from the latest hard news to studentfaculty pro-
files and the never-ending construction projects. If anything
interesting happens, we'll make sure you're informed. And if
YOU see anything happening that is of interest to the student
body, please call us anytime.
Lifestyle is the coolest section. Our lifestyle writers will
tell you anything and everything from what the local sound
sounds like, to what free movies are playing at Hendrix The-
ater. Not only do they write restaurant CD and book reviews,
the lifestyle section gives you the extra twist you may need to
stay hip with college life.
Sports is the favorite section for Pirate fans. Our football
tabloid, The End Zone, is better than any other because our
writers are students, just like our athletes. You'll find our
sports writers on the gridiron, the track, the diamond, the
frisbee golf course or anywhere else ECU students are com-
peting.
Advertising pays the bills. TEC takes pride in the fact that
we are one of the only completely self-supported, student-run
organizations at ECU. Our ad reps worked through the swel-
tering heat for weeks in order to find the great deals in our
Back-to-School issue. The ad reps also gain valuable sales ex-
perience they can take with them away from Greenville when
they graduate.
Without our production department, there would be no
newspaper. This department creates and fine-tunes advertise-
ments and puts the paper together like a puzzle.
Don't forget "to check out our classifieds and announce-
ments section. If you need a roommate, have something to
sell or want to send your sweetheart a personal, TEC
Classifieds is the place to advertise. It's not free, but it's cheap.
Enough patting ourselves on the back, TEC employees
will continue to work for students for the next 70 years or so,
hopefully longer. We don't try to compete with other publica-
tions because we don't need to. ECU students are our audi-
ence and as long as we're in print we'll cater to you.
If you'd like to learn more about TEC, give us a call at
328-6366 or stop by the Student Publications building (across
from Joyner Library.) We are always in need of more employ-
ees and most students look forward to a little more cash at
the end of the month.

Welcome to Camp ECU
Welcome campers! For all fresh-
men, transfer students and newcom-
ers to Greenville, this article will act
as your survival guide for the next few
weeks. The information was collected
painstakingly by veterans of ECU life.
Camp rules and regulations: The
first thing to know about living among
the ECU faithful is that almost every-
thing you must do will require an
undetermined number of signatures.
These signatures will be required from
four to six people, three of which will
be out of the country or most certainly
unattainable by any means of commu-
nication.
Because of this, all of your en-
deavors will likely take 12 hours
longer than initially planned, so pack
a lunch. If you attempt to speed this,
or any process up, you could extend
your stay here for one to two years
and there's a good possibility that
you'll miss the sing-along at the end
of the year.
Transportation on campgrounds:
If you have a car, give it away. This
may sound strange, but once the first
parking ticket is written, and the first
45 minute wait in the parking lot has
occurred, there will be no confusion
about this particular suggestion. The
best advice that this counselor has for
Patrick Ware
Optnhn OmmmM
the brave few who decide to keep then-
car would be to refrain from parking
anywhere in the city limits.
A parking sticker, obtainable
from the camp traffic office on 10th
Street, will only provide a false sense
of security for the ECU camper. You
will get a ticket You will learn to ig-
nore signs. You will feel the power of
the camp traffic office when attempt-
ing to complete any of the tasks dis-
cussed in the first section. Oh yes, you
will have your records tagged. Do not
fear, simply sell your car and you can
avoid this common camp problem
Camp activities: Camp ECU has
many extracurricular activities that
can be beneficial to the general camp
experience, but there are some things
to know. When attending sporting
events, make sure to learn the proper
clapping rhythms to the camp songs
before entering any camp facility. It
is a little known fact that improper
clapping in a public place can result
in social outcast
Do not follow the trend of camp-
ers past by driving circles around
downtown until you see someone you
know. This activity has caused moral
problems for some of the older camp-
ers and it has been suggested that I
include this helpful tip.
Lastly, if you are a camper that
likes big hats and big belt buckles,
which many of our campers do, make
sure and restrain yourself from exhib-
iting these articles at the aforemen-
tioned sporting events. Trust me, your
counselor, your friend.
We here at Camp ECU wish only
the best for the new members of our
community. It is the hope of the coun-
selors that you will heed these little
suggestions and find your stay here
as wonderful as we attempt to make
it There will be basket weaving in
Mendenhall and lunch in Todd dining
hall all year long
a
Upset about the parking situation? Upset about
the construction on campus? Upset about the.
long lines for registration? If you have problems
that get you so hot smoke comes out of your -
e&rs then you need to express them in a healthy
way. Try writing a letter to the editor. The East
Carolinian w?JI be glad to publish your complaints
or praise about stories we have written, activities
going on around campus and Greenville. Please
send your comments to The East Carolinian, East
Carolina University, Second Floor, Student
Publication BidgGreenville NC, 27858-4353.
Include your name, major, year and phone
number Please limit letters to 250 words or less
The East
Carolinian is
taking
applications for

columnists.
The issues of
Election'96 will
be the primary
focus.

Are you giving enough of yourself?
What have you done lately for
your community, state, nation or
Mother Earth? I believe our nation
is overpopulated with selfish, ego-
centric individuals who buzz
through life and expect everything
to fall into their laps.
If we expect Earth to last an-
other billion years, we need to take
care of her and show her a little love
and appreciation for all her riches
she so generously gives. We have
become a taking tribe, and many of
us do not take time to give back to
the Earth.
For starters, recycling is an easy
approach. Almost everything is re-
cyclable: paper, plastics, glass,
shampoo bottles, grass, the list is
very long. If you would like to be-
gin recycling call Pitt County Recy-
cling at 830-4522, and they will be
more than happy to set you in the
right direction toward a healthier
planet.
If recycling is too arduous for
you, then maybe you could give one
hour to save someone's life. Yes, it
only takes about one hour to give
life to another person via blood do-
nations. The nation's blood banks
are in desperate need of your help.
It doesn't hurt to give life, and it is
an incredible reward to know that
Jennifer Hunt
Opinion Columnist
your blood could save someone in
need. Also, you don't need to wait
until the the American Red Cross
comes to campus, you can go to
them at your convenience. The lo-
cal American Red Cross is located
off of Memorial Drive in the Caro-
lina East Center (next to the Caro-
lina East Cinema). You do not need
an appointment, just show up ready
to give. Give the gift of life today.
Do you adore kids and animals?
Yes, I thought so. If you have read
this far, then you must adore nature's
gifts of life. Volunteers are always
welcome and needed in the local com-
munity. ECU offers a great program
called East Carolina Friends, which
is similar to other Big BrotherBig
Sister organizations. The program
pairs college volunteers with children
ages 4-13 who have been identified
through their schools as having a
need for a positive adult role model.
Volunteers are expected to make a
sound commitment to the organiza-
tion for one academic year, during
which time they are to spend at least
two hours per week with their "little
friend Volunteers must also main-
tain a g.p.a. of 2.2 or higher. This is
an excellent program and I am going
to volunteer this fall. These kids need
us. If you are interested, pick up an
application in Brewster A-409.
These examples are just a few
things you could do to help out our
planet. There are so many other ways
to promote a better life for someone
in need. Simple things, as well as
marking "yes" on the organ donor
card when you renew your driver's
license. I know life tends to be hec-
tic and we sometimes get caught up
in our own lives, but please take a
moment and review what you could
do to make our environment a bet-
ter place.
Your future children and grand-
children will graciously thank you.

Pirates find new home
Conference USA
extends invitation
to ECU
Amanda Ross
SportsEdKor
ECU is now breathing a sigh of re-
lief. The university's quest to
be affiliated with a football con-
ference has been met
Over the past year, Con-
ference USA was showing a lot
of interest in accepting the Pi-
rate football team into its pro-
gram. That interest is now a
reality and the only thing left
to do is work out the fine de-
tails of the contract
ECU will not play in the
conference this year, but Ath-
letic Director, Mike Hamrick.
hopes that ECU will begin con-
ference play in 1997.
A big plus with the affili-
ation to the conference is the
scheduling of future non-con-
ference games.
"Over the next eight years
our norvconference games will
improve Hamrick said.
I me of the teams sched-
uled for the next several years,
which include games played
here in Greenville and away, in-
clude Duke, Miami, Navy, N.C.
State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech,
Wake Forest and West Virginia.
Along with non-confer-
ence games, ECU will play
games within Conference USA.
Those teams include Cincin-
nati, Houston, Louisville, Mem-
phis, Southern Miss and
Tulane (with Army possibly be-
ing added to the conference
later on as well)
"We will have a great con-
ference schedule and we are
really excited Hamrick said.
A conference affiliation will also
mean that ECU will have the chance to
play for a national championship, some-
thing that hasn't been possible since
1977. Conference USA is affiliated with
the Liberty Bowl right now, but as
Hamrick pointed out when the contract
talks are up with all the conferences and
their bowl tie-ins in about three years.
Conference USA could possibly be affili-
ated with another bowl.
ECU is very familiar with the Lib-
erty Bowl, going for the past two years
and winning the bowl game last year
against Stanford.
Earlier in the talks with the board
of directors of Conference USA, there
were some problems between Louisville
and the board. Louisville was concerned
about adding another member to the con-
ference because it would cut down on

Den Students:
Welcome to Campus! I hope you hid ? good summer ?nd ?re ready for a fun-filled year with ECU
Athletics. Memorable moments that will include exciting victories, national television appearances, and
full stadiums and arenas with electric atmospheres are all ahead in 1996-97.
It will all kick-off with the football Pirates, who have been picked in the preseason Top 25 by Athion
magazine. An exciting fall is in store for ECU students that begins at home on September 7. Phis, the
season includes the chance to get on national television in r "wdy-FickJen Stadium in October and to be
in the stands when the Pirates and the Wolfpack renew "the rivalry" in Charlotte on November 30.
There is nothing like making as much noise as possible in a full Dowdy-Ficklen stadium for the ECU
team entrance and yelling "First DownPirates" after ECU first downs. During the winter you will want
to be surrounding the court, standing as part of the Minges Maniacs, in noisy Williams Arena at Minges
Coliseum creating the one of toughest home court atmospheres to be found.
We encourage you to support all your fellow students who compete on athletic teams. From the Lady
Pirate volleyball and swim teams to Pirate baseball and soccer, there are 19 men's and women's
intercollegiate teams that you can support throughout the year. Each one offering exciting moments for
you to experience.
As ECU students, each of you are in a position to make an extremely positive statement about your
university to the state of North Carolina and the nation on national television this fall. Wear your purple
and gold with pride, show visible enthusiasm at games, and exemplify class (sportsmanship) in your
actions at all athletic events.
We look forward to seeing you this fall. One of our traditional cheers says it bestHey. Hey. EC You
Look So Good To Mel There are no better students in the country than ECU students. Fill the stands at
all home games for your ECU Pirates!
The Spirit of the East is Growing Strong! Go Pirates!
Sincerely, .
Mike Hamrick

Chancellor talks athletics
Amanda Ross
SportB EdUof
The spirit of ECU athletics goes beyond the players,
coaches and fans. It extends deep in the ailministration of
ECU. Just ask Chancellor Richard Eakin. Some might not
know but Eakin is an avid sports fan whose roots extend
back into athletics. Eakin, who is beginning his 10th year
as chancellor, is the former president of the College Foot-
ball Adrriinistration and serves on the Presidents Council
of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Eakin
attended Geneva College and was a member of the basket-
ball team. He is excited about the upcoming sports season
and recently sat down with me to discuss issues relevant to
this upcoming school year.
CONFERENCE AFFILIATION
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to join Con-
ference USA. It is a conference that is a very good fit for East
Carolina. The universities in the conference, in many respects,
are very similar to our university. I think they hold high
academic standards as do we. I believe that they are very
interested in having our membership, which is a wonderful
thing to be able to say. We are simply looking forward to the
association

High-powered offense
threatens opponents
Cralg Perrott
Awlttant Sports Editor
Ever since Steve Logan's days as
an offensive coordinator, ECU has been
known for its high-powered offense.
With the largest senior class since the
1991 season and nine starters return-
ing, this season will be no exception.
Last year, the Pirates ranked 22nd
in the nation in passing offense, and
the unit averaged 396.1 yards per
game. ECU will look once again to
All-America candidate quarterback
Marcus Crandell to lead the squad as
they hope to build on last year's 9-3
Liberty Bowl Championship season.
Crandell has already re-written the
ECU record books by surpassing Pi-
rate legend Jeff Blake's marks as all-
time total offense (6,026 yards) and
passing yardage (5,691). During his
junior season, Crandell connected for
235 of 447 passes for a whopping 2,751
yards and 18 touchdowns. He was
named National Offensive Player-of-the-
Week following his performance
against Syracuse.
In this, his senior year, Crandell
is expected to assume a leadership role
now more than ever. In the high-pres-
sure position of quarterback, Crandell
is as calm and collected as one can be.
"I'm going to try to put up the
same kind of numbers again, but I try
not to think of myself as "The Man
Crandell said. "I try and keep that at
the back of my mind; it takes a team
effort"
Crandell is a product of the Logan
system, and Crandell gives the Pirate
head coach a lot of credit for his suc-
cess.
"He's helped me out a lot
Crandell said. "He's been very patient
with me
Last season, we saw a new dimen-
sion of the Crandell machine: running
the football. Crandell's targets for his
aerial assault are of-
ten the targets for
opposing defenses.
ECU now has the
available weapon of
Crandell tucking the
ball and trying to
pick up the first
down or a TD.
"I've gotten
more comfortable
with it Crandell
said. "You might see
a lot more of it this
year
Hopefully,
Crandell will not
have to resort to run-
ning the ball, as
ECU's top five receiv-
ers return from last
fall. Wide receivers
Mitchell Galloway
and Jason Nichols
lead the Pirate receiv-
ing corps.
In last year's
campaign, Galloway
caught 46 passes for
619 yards and three
touchdowns. Gallo-
way is also fifth on
the ECU all-time re-
ception list with 83
grabs, and believes
this season, his last
at ECU will be his
best ever.
"This is going to be the year Gal-
loway said. "We're going to perform
the best we can and hope good things
come out of it"
Junior Jason Nichols is fourth on
the all-time reception list himself (85
catches), after tallying some impressive
numbers a year ago. Nichols had 43
catches for 502 yards and two TD's.
Nichols has high hopes for 1996.
"We have a lot of depth and expe-
rience this year Nichols said. "We're

Other notable receivers returning
include junior Larry Shannon, sopho-
more Tioy Smith and senior tight end
Scott Richards.
Richards was one of the team's
top performers last season. The 6'5
260 pounder caught at least three
passes in seven of the final ten games
in 1995. Senior Sean Richardson, is
an excellent back-up at tight end and

Key loses should

Amanda Ross
Sports Editor
The name ol the game is defense.
Some may think it's not as important
as offense, but if you can't stop your
opponent, your Jays are numbered.
ECU'S "I ' has stepped up and was
a key factor in the Pirates 19-13 vic-
tory over Stanford last yeai in the Lib-
erty Bow The Pirates limited the Car-
dinal offense to 211 yards and a single
touchdown and Stanford had one of
the most high-powered offenses In the
PAC-lo going into the bowl game.
ECU finished the 1995 season
ranked 51st in rushing defense. 38th
in total defense and seventh in pass
efficiency defense. In 1991 ECU ranked
106th. 105th and
98th respectively
in the same cat-
egories. The Pi-
rates have come
a long way.
The Pirate
"D" will be with-
out some key de-
fensive players
this year, but ECU will return more de-
fensive starters than it lost following
last season. 1 )efensive Coordinator Paul
Jette will have a lot of talented and
experienced players to work with this
year.
' Back in 1984. when now Head
Coach Steve Logan was offensive co-
ordinator at the University of Tulsa and
Jette was the defensive coordinator at
Oklahoma State. Jette's defensive play-
ers led the nation in take-aways with
57. Anyone that knows football knows
that those kind of numbers are a
coache s dream Take- aways arc a big
part in the defensive success a team
can achieve.
'This is a focal point that Paul
coaches to, which is the take-away part
of the game Head Coach Steve Logan
"We're looking
forward to every
said. Last year we had 38. Paul Jette
i - ci iaching to 57. Yeah, we had 38 and
that was nice and wasn't bad. He re-
ally believes that the talent we're work-
ing with is comparable to the talent
that was on that particular team
The void of linebackers Mark
I.ibiano. Morris Foreman and Aaron
Black will be felt, as will the departure
of cornerback Emmanuel McDaniel
who ranked eighth nationally in inter-
ceptions with six and finished his ca-
reer sixth on ECU's all-time list (13
NTs). Also lost is tackle Walter Scott
and cornerback Hank Cooper.
But never fear, if you think Logan
doesn't have talented players to fill
those voids, you don't know much
about ECU football.
Senior end Lorenzo West is one
to keep your eye on as he ranked
among the nation's leaders in sacks
with nine. He also contributed with six
tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
Travis Darden, who started as a
true freshman at
nose guard all 12
games, looks to
have another suc-
cessful season with
the Pirates. Darden
is quick to point out
that no team will be
taken for granted.
"We're looking
forward to every game Darden said.
"You have to get them one by one. I'm
not familiar with East Tennessee State,
but we aren't going to take any team
for granted
The linebacker position will be
filled by three seniors, Marvin Burke.
BJ. Crane and Carlos Brown. These
players split time with last year's se-
nior linebackers, so they are all com-
fortable with their positions. To Crane,
this season has every potential to be
better than the last.
East Carolina is an avalanche
right now Crane said. "We have just
come off the steepest part of the hill
and it's fast- so if you're in the way -

Burke was third on the team with
stops with 91. while Brown added 61
and Crane 59. Crane will move to the
outside this season after backing up
Burke on the inside in '95 Backup:

ECU's pass efficiency defense will
return three of four starters, inc lad-
ing the double trouble Hart brothers

the Pirate's second leading tackier with
92 stops. It was also this Hart brother
who ignited ECU's scoring drive aftei

"We have a lot of veterans on this

solid team from top to bottom. Yes this
is including special teams. The same
special teams that was laughed at by
many only a tew short years ago has
grown up along with their stats.
In the 93 season the Pirates could
have been described, from the kicking
standpoint, as a team with very little
bright spots. The Pirates put a true
freshman kicker in Chad Holcomb in
front of an ESPN audience for his col-
lege debut The results for the season
were 8-13 FG-FGA along with a 15-16
PATstat
"It seems like a long time ago, al-
most forever, since I stepped out on
that field my freshman year against
Syracuse Holcomb said.
With experience comes improve-
ment. In the '94, 7-5 bowl campaign,
the Pirates put up 44 points courtesy
of Holcomb opposed to the 39 from
the previous 2-9 season. With a slight
increase in point production, but still
hints of inconsistency, Pirate fans con-
tinued to hold their breath when the
kicking unit came onto the field.
"I saw myself improve as a kicker,
but there was inconsistency still in my
game and I knew I had to change that
to bring it to another level Holcomb
said.
Despite an early season slump.
Hoicomb's junior season saw shades
of drastic improvements and a little
heroics. After nailing ten field goals and
68 PAT's Holcomb kicked the decid-
ing field goal in the West Virginia and
Southern Miss games, as well as re-
ceiving the Offensive MVP at the Lib-
erty Bowl.
"Last season was gr;at for me, but
it has put a lot a pressure on me to
improve upon my performance of last
season Holcomb said.
Along with the pressure of top-
ping his Liberty Bowl record, four field
goals in a game, Holcomb will have a
little competition in true freshman
Brantly Rivers.
"He's gonna have it easier than I
did Holcomb said. "I'll be able to
teach him things I had to leam on my
own when I was a freshman
Rivers, from Kingston. Tennessee.
has shown promise and power in his
early summer workouts.
"Rivers is young, and Chad will
have to teach him some things, but this
kid has plenty of leg and a lot of
power Logan said.
Rivers made the All East Tennes-
see team as well as booting a career
best of 47 yards his senior season.
"He's a natural kicker. He will be
fun to watch Holcomb said.
Along with a great defense there
must be a great punter to give the big
"D" real estate to work with. After
coming in as a super freshman, punter
Matt Levine was heaven sent after the
miserable punting by Bill Wilson in
the '93 season. Levine started his ca-
reer at ECU with a 42 6 yard average
for his first season.
"Weil, when Matt came in he was
15th in the nation in punting. That's
because every time he shanked the
ball it would roll for 8,000 yards
Logan said. "He wasn't punting it to
anywhere, he was like a shotgun on
full choke, it went everywhere
After a disappointing sophomore
season, Levine dropped his average
to 37.1 thus raising a few eyebrows.
"We need to get our punters to
punt down the field Logan said. "I'm
not asking for a 60-yard punt, just a
40-yard punt with four-second hang
time
True freshman Andrew Bayes, a
punter out of Hyattsville, Maryland,
has impressed the staff in the early
stages of summer pract'ee by deliver-
ing what Logan is requesting punt-
ing the ball downfield.
"Bayes is a talented young man
and he is punting the ball down the
field, but we're waiting to see how he
adjusts to the much more rapid pace
of kicking in a college football game
situation Logan said.
With the vast improvement of the
veterans ofthe Pirate specialists along
with a promising freshman class to be
taught by the upperdassmen, special
teams at ECU could make the Pirates
a solid team from top to bottom.

East Carolina vs.
East Tennessee State
This will be the first meeting be-
tween the Pirates and the Buccaneers
since October 20, 1984 when ECU de-
feated ETSU 246 at Ficklen Stadium.
East Tennessee finished 4-7 in 1995 and
is a member of the Southern Conference
which produced two-time national cham-
pion Marshall. The Bucs offense is led
by QB Greg Ryan. Ryan threw for 2,473
yds. and 17 touchdowns. Coach Logan
has called this game "The Super Bowl"
for ETSU. The Pirates are the only Divi-
sion 1 program on the schedule this sea-
son for ETSU.
East Carolina vs. West Virginia
Any time you visit Morgantown,
W.V. on a football Saturday, you are in
for a fight Plus, Mountaineer fans are
still upset about last season's, S6 record
and the fact that one of those six losses
came at the hands of the Pirates in
Greenville. WVU returns 42 lettermen
which includes quarterback Chad
Johnston and wide receiver Rashan
Vanterpool. Johnston had an up and
down season in '95. He threw for 2,019
yards, but matched his 13 touchdowns
with 13 interceptions. At wide receiver,
WVU has an AU-American candidate in
Rashan Vanterpool. Vanterpool had 34
receptions for 303 yards and six touch-
downs. On defense, right linebacker
Canute Curtis and defensive back Mike
Logan lead the way. Curtis, a second
team All-Big East selection in "95, fin-
ished top 20 in the nation last season for
quarterback sacks. Logan, a third-year
starter for the Mountaineers, also
doubles as a return man. This could be a
telling season for Head Coach Don
Nehlen, whose Mountaineers haven't
won a bowl game since the 1984 Blueb-
onnetBowL
East Carolina vs. South Carolina
When the Pirates and Gamecocks
meet on September 21st in Columbia,
SC. excuse USC fans if they are still
upset about October 8.1994. That's when
ECU embarrassed their neighbors from
Columbia 5642 during their homecom-
ing. In that game. ECU threw out the
game plan and went to the air, as Marcus
Crandell and the Pirates lit up USC in
the offensive yardage category. This sea-
son Head Coach Brad Scott has handed
over the quarterback reigns to sopho-
more Anthony Wright Wright should be
familiar to eastern North Carolina foot-
ball fans. He had an outstanding prep
career at nearby West Craven High
School. USC football fans were disap-
pointed in last season's 46-1 record, and
this year doesn't get any easier for the
Gamecocks in the SEC. A week before
USC hosts the Pirates, a team by the
name of the Georgia Bulldogs visit town.
East Carolina vs. Central Florida
Central Florida, welcome to Division
I football. The Golden Knights and the
Pirates are no strangers to each other.
ECU and UCF have met three times in
the past six years. The most memorable
game was in 1993 when Marcus Crandell
had his leg broken by Golden Knight
defender Emil Ekyor. This season, UCF
is no longer a Division I-AA member as
school officials decided that they wanted
to upgrade their football program and
move to Division I. The Golden Knights
are led by quarterback Daunte
Culpepper. Culpeper threw for 2.071
yards and 12 touchdowns in "95.
East Carolina vs.
Southern Mississippi
Thursday night A national televi-
sion audience. What more do you need
to get ready for a football game? Well.
East Carolina and Southern Miss need
none of above. All these two teams need
is a ball and a patch of grass. When the
Golden Eagles and Pirates hit the field,
it's like two brothers in the backyard
fighting for supremacy. Southern Miss
is still a little ticked off about the game
in HattiesbuiK last season. The Golden
Eagles do not need to be reminded that
they held a 34-33 lead with 51 seconds
to go and had a ciiance to help them
selves to a spot in the Liberty Bowl. But
then the call of all football calls came
from General Logan. Chad Holcolmb did
his best impression of Steve Young and
hurled the ball down the field. Tight End
Scott Richards was open, but see. there

The East Carolinian
Marching band to
perform at NFL game
Amanda Ross
Sport Editor
Not only will the Marching Pi-
rates be marching in Dowdy-Ficklen
this season, but expect to see them
in RFK Stadium in Washington. D.C.
On September 29, approximately
220 ECU band members will travel
to D.C. to perform in a half-time show
during the RedskinsJets game.
Christopher Knighten, who is
heading into his fourth year as di-
rector of the Marching Pirates, said
ECU finally got the bid after trying
for the past two years. ECU did not
receive a bid during the 1994 or '95
season.
"Every NFL team goes through
a selection process Knight said.
"Most NFL teams have an entertain-
ment committee that chooses who
will perform at half-times
Knighten knew about this pro-
cess when, while attending graduate
school at the University of Colorado,
they played at a Denver Broncos'
game.
The process begins by sending
a videotape of various routines per-
formed throughout the season. The
committee reviews the tape and se-
lects a school to perform. Not since
the 1960s has the ECU Marching
Band performed at a Redskins game.
The band will leave following the
Sept 28 game between ECU and Cen-
tral Florida. They will roll out early
Sunday morning en route to D.C.
ECU will be the only band to per-
form during half-time, and local fans
will get to see a glimpse of what they
will perform in RFK Stadium during
the first home football game on Sept
7 against East Tennessee State. Then
during the Central Florida game, the
Marching Pirates will perform the
whole show for the ECU crowd. A
James Bond theme will prevail dur-
ing the half-time show on the 29th.
This will be a new routine that
hasn't been used in the past Even
during home football games the
Marching Band varies their shows.
"We'll never do a show more
than twice, so there is some variety
for the home crowds Knighten said.
The marching band, which al-
ways provides the ECU half-time
shows, hasn't had a chance to receive
national exposure like this, and
Knighten says they are really excited
to get this chance.
"We have been trying for some-
thing like this for years and I think
this is a big step for us to continue
to grow. In 1993 we had 140 people
in the band and we have grown al-

Former Lady Pirate basketball standout Danielle Charlesworth
has been name assistant women's basketball coach at ECU an-
nounced ECU Head Coach Anne Donovan.
Charlesworth, a three-year starter at ECU from 1993-1996,
replaces Gaynor O'Donnell who resigned her position in June.
i am extremely excited that Danielle has decided to remain
with Lady Pirate basketball Donovan said. "Her competitiveness
and work ethic as a player are strengths that will greatly benefit
her as she begins her coaching career
During her career at ECU, Charlesworth averaged 9.5 points
and 3.5 assists a game. In three seasons, she moved into ECU's
top-10 career list for assists and steals, ranking fourth in career
assists with 192 and sixth in steals with 281. She also was third
in career three-pointers made, hitting 87.
Charlesworth, 23. is a native of Raleigh, N.C. and gradu-
ated in May with a degree in exercise and sports science.

What's one of the best ways to
get involved in Pirate athletics? It's
the Student Pirate Club (SPC).
The SPC is a club exclusively
for ECU students who want to be
closer to Pirate athletics. The SPC
offers exciting events and special
privileges for members only.
Mark Wharton, Pirate Club rep-
resentative, believes this is a good
way for students to get a jump on
things when they graduate. The
regular Pirate Club, which is for
alumni and the community, offers
members privileges like advance
seating, special socials and lots of
planned events throughout the
year.
"It's (SPC) a club to acclimate
themselves with the Pirate Club
Wharton said. "It gives them an op-
portunity to build priority points

towards tickets and special events
The way this works is each year
you are a member, you build up
points that will enable you to get,
for example, better seating for foot-
ball games when you graduate.
Joining now is a good way to start
building up those points for when
you become a part of the Pirate
Club.
Throughout the year, the SPC
has socials in the same building
that the Pirate Club uses. These
meetings consist of talking with
other members and is a good way
to meet new people. During these
meetings, a special guest speaker
comes and talks to the group. These
guests are usually coaches.
Anyone from the head football
coach to head basketball coach will
come and talk about his or her
sport and answer any questions you
might have. This is an excellent way
to become more oriented with the
athletic program, and it gives you
a chance to ask coaches questions
you normally wouldn't get a chance
to ask.
One of the big trips the SPC is
planning for its members in the fall
is an away bus trip to Virginia Tech
on Nov. 9 to watch the ECU foot-
ball team take on the Hokies.
Wharton also says that during
the Pirate Club weekend, which in-
cludes the first football game of the
season on September 7, they plan
to have a special social for SPC
members. This would include tail-
gating and group seating at the
game.
A big advantage SPC members
have is that they can get their game
tickets for football games a day ear-
lier than the student body. SPC
members can pick up tickets on
Monday for Saturday games instead
of on Tuesday.
Members also get priority seat-
ing down in front in the stands,
right behind the ECU football team.
"They (members) have priority
seating which is the best available
seating for students, and also thejjf
get priority in getting away game-5.

And after the games, the mem-
bers can read about the game and
any other club events in the 20 is-
sues they will get of the Purple Re7i

paper for members only. 5 ?"??
Last year, the SPC did not
make it to any of the away football!
games because the location of the i
away opponents was too far for a"b
bus trip. However, they did plan a
trip for an away basketball game :ri
against UNC-W in Wilmington
Members rode down on an ECU bu?2
and had a pre-game social at Jungle.oi
Land, where they could play games
and eat, and then rode over to?

comer, and the Spirit of the East is grow-
ing strong. Soon Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium
wjH-be filled to capacity and fans will
marvel at the feats of Marcus Crandell
and, the defending Liberty Bowl Cham-
pion.
Boy, that part about defending Lib-
erty Bowl Champs sounds good. But to
ke?p the winning tradition going that
Head Coach Steve Logan's Pirates have
ignited here at ECU. ti.e team needs your
support
T Getting tickets for the games is easy,
and,fun is had by all in attendance. All
students with a valid ECU ID (the one
with the ugly picture on it thai you get
at orientation) get a FREE ticket for each
home game. A limited amount of half
prwe guest tickets for your family or
friends that don't attend the university
is available on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
i i, The regular student pick-up days are
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and
group pick-up day is on Monday. Groups
of 25 or more people who want a block
of tickets together can send just one
person to the ticket pick-up location on
Monday to order the tickets, and then
come back later in the week to receive
thejr prepared tickets. This service is most
often used by organizations such as fra-
ternities, sororities, dorm floors, or dif-
ferent departments who want to sit in
the'same section.
? Student tickets are general admis-
sion, so you don't have an assigned seat
but you do have a designated section to
si? in shown on your ticket If you want
tojjnake sure you get in the same sec-
tion with your best friend, students are
allowed to bring one additional ID with
them to pick up their friend's ticket if
they are in class, at work or wherever.
When you head out to the stadium,

tect the students said Lee Workman,
assistant athletic director for ticket sales
and promotions.
Workman said that the administra-
tion wants all the students to be able to
have a ticket and not let someone from
outside the university take away that
opportunity.
I suppose you want to know,
"Where can I pick up my tickets?" Well,

that is actually up in the air right now.
Mendenhall and the ECU ticket office
have historically been the only two places
to pick up tickets, but Workman said that
the Student Store could be added to that
list
The highlight of this year's football
season is the resurgence of the series
with the hated Wolfpack of N.C. State.
The game isn't until November 30, but
ticket sales have already begun. Regular
ticket prices for that game are 25 and 38
bucks, but 3.000 specially-priced student
tickets will be offered at $10 for one day
only, on September 10.
If you want to sit with your mom
and dad or a non-ECU friend, $25 tick-
ets will be available for your guests, and
yes, you will be able to sit together. All
student tickets will be upper-deck seats
at Carolinas Stadium in Charlotte, and
will be full price once the 3,000 allotted
are sold out
It should be noted that the only
place you can get tickets for this game
at this time is from ECU or N.C. State.
Also coming up fast is Parents' Day.
The game will be on September 28
against Central Florida.
If you have any questions regard-
ing ticket sales, call 1-800-DIAL ECU or

thers and of course the Hurricanes. Well,
the Hurricanes aren't a professional team,
but the way their football program was
being run the last ten years could have
fooled anybody. Bring in the savior, Head
Coach Butch Davis. Davis inherited a pro-
gram that had fallen in recent years,
partly due to off the field incidents. Last
season Miami went 8-3 in Davis's first
season, but could not participate in a
bowl game because of NCAA probatioa
This year the Hurricanes return 55
lettermen, and a bright new outlook
Miami leads the East Carolina series &0.
The last time the two teams met was in
1989, when the Hurricanes handed the
Pirates a 40-10 loss.
East Carolina vs. Arkansas State
It's East Carolina's homecoming.
Not too much more to say besides, won-
der who will win homecoming queen?
NEXT
East Carolina vs. Virginia Tech
It's funny how a coach's fortune can
change in such a small time. Just a few
years ago, people in Blacksburg were
calling for Virginia Tech Head Coach
Frank Beamer's job. Now he would prob-
ably win the mayor's race in Blacksburg.
Virginia Tech had a dream season last
year going 10-2 and shellacking Texas in
the Sugar Bowl 28-10. East Carolina and
Virginia Tech is always a great footfall
matchup. These two teams have a lot in
common. They both have the same re-
cruiting grounds, and both have risen
into the college footballs spotlight in re-
cent seasons. Virginia Tech's top gun is
QB Jim Druckenmiller. Druckenmiller
threw for over 2100 yards in '95. Coach
Frank Beamer and his squad know that
they will have their work cut out for them
when the Pirates visit town on Novem-
ber 9th.
East Carolina vs. Ohio
Ohio is not a football school plain
and simple They are, however, improv-
ing. Last season the Bobcats went 3-8
under first year Head Coach Jim Grobe.
The Bobcats play eight games on the
road in '96, and are a member of the
very underrated Mid-American Confer-
ence. Look for ECU to be using second
string players by the third quarter.
East Carolina vs. Memphis ?
Rip Scherer knew what he was in
for when he took the head coaching job
at Memphis last season. He took over a
program that had come within one game
from going to a bowl game in the prev"
ous year. But he also took over a pro-
gram that was struggling for supporttfT'
the city of Memphis. See, Memphis isV
basketball town They love the basket
ball Tigers. The Pyramid, where Mem
phis plays its home basketball games, is
a city landmark Besides Elvis, Anfemee"
"Penny" Hardaway is the city's proudest
son. So where does Memphis football fit1
in? People are still wondering. But ddnT
underestimate Rip Scherer and his Ti-
gers. Scherer came from James MadisoTI'
University, where he built a strong foefc:
ball program under another basketball
shadow by the name of Lefty Drisell.
Memphis always gives ECU a hard time
and this season should not be any differ-
ent
East Carolina vs. NX. State
Throw out the records. Throw out
the history. Throw out that this gan?T
is being played at an NFL stadium. Hell,
you could set these two teams up at a '
peewee football field and they would"
be ready to get it oa This game has tm:
cities in the state of North Carolinalff
sort of a civil war. There's the big rf
tropolis of Raleigh, N.C. The folks up'ta
the state capital don't feel that N.Cj-
State should have to play ECU. The
Wolfpack is a member of the prestigioas
ACC, and playing ECU is a step dowa
Then there's the Emerald City of Green-
ville. A town that still talks about beat"
ing th?irirstate rivals in the 1992 Peacti"
Bowl, and a university that feels like' it
is not getting respect ECU Athletic D?
rector Mike Hamrick is almost a her
in these parts, having finally pushed
and buiiied his way into a matchup be
tween the Pirates and Wolfpack. Now
the stage is set on November 30th in a
neutral town, Charlotte, N.C The Qurf
City better be ready for this one. Theft'
is no love loss between these toW
schools. This game will be talked about
for years to come.

there was some speculation whether Lou-

to the conclusion that the best thing for
the conference would be to expand
Hamrick said. "Obviously that expansion
dealt with us here at East Carolina and
now we are in the process of working
out the details
There was also a lot of speculation
that the Big East conference was look-
ing to end its affiliation with Temple and
allow ECU to join, since we play many
Big East opponents and have fared well.
"We did have some discussion with
the Big East but at this time, Confer-
ence USA is the direction we are head-
ing to Hamrick said. 'We need a con-
ference to play football in
Besides scheduling perks, being af-
filiated with this conference will boost
ECU's participation in working with
other conferences around the nation, as
well as some of the top football programs
around the country.
"Conference USA is one of the eight
major equity conferences, therefore we
will have a significant vote in the gov-
erning of the NCAA. If there is ever a
national playoff for a national champi-
onship in football, I'm sure the eight con-
ferences will be involved with that play-
off. There are a lot of pluses Hamrick
said.
Another plus is the national expo-
sure ECU will receive with more air time
on television.
"They have an excellent television
contract" Hamrick said.
Hamrick sees nothing but positive
things resulting from ECU joining the
conference.
"It gives us good scheduling oppor-
tunities, we create rivalries and we will
play for a conference championship
Hamrick said. "We need to be in a cor
ference. There are very few schools tha
aren't in a conference and I just don'
think we can survive without being in i
conference, unless you're a Notre Dame.
Many schools who have tradrtionafl
been iridependent football programs are now
seeking affiliation with conferences. Army's
future with Conference USA is an
example
"Army is now considering joining a

The future looks promising for our

will see a lot of action again this sea-
son
The backfield formation will not be
a surprise this year. The Pirates will run
the usual one-back set but the person-
nel that's going to be in the backfield is
still up in the air.
Sophomores Scott Harley and
Raymond Mabry, along with red-shirt
freshman Damon Davis all vie for the
starting job. Harley broke the single
game rushing record for freshmen last
year against Temple, netting 263 yards
on 61 carries. Davis is small (5'8 170
lbs.), but is exceptionally fast
With the youth in the backfield
this year, Crandell will be relied on
to make the transition period while
finding a starting running back
smoother.
"I'm going to help them as much
as I can Crandell said. "I'm just go-
ing to try to keep them focused
There will be some movement in
the offensive line this year, but it will
consist of experienced blockers. Se-
nior tackle Ron Suddith is probably
the top protector up front, along with
right guard Lamont Burns, ho
started in every game last season.
Other seniors Logan will look upon
to dominate opponents' defenses will
be Jamie Gray and Shane McPherson.
Sophomore Danny Moore is ex-
pected to see action at center after
sitting out last year. Big Stacey
Whitehead is also expected to m?ft
an impact this season, and the s8-
tus of Mpumi Masimini is unkndSS
as he continues fo recover frorrS
broken leg sustained against TemiJ.

The rapid growth can be at-

said. "We have also had a very ag-

Your academic success depends on following rules in and out of the

students have both rights (due process, freedom of association, etc.) and
responsibilities.The judicial process respects a student's rights while hold-
ing people who violate university policy accountable. While most student
cases are heard by a staff member, all accused students have the right to a
hearing before the Honor Board, a group of 5 to 7 fellow students.The
university's case is presented by the student Attorney General and the
accussed student is assisted in presenting their case by the student public
defender. Students who wish to be considered for a position in the judi-
cial process need to contact the Dean of Students Office on the 2nd
floor of Wichard (328-6824) in early February to obtain an application.
Final appointment to the Honor Board and Attorney General position is
made by the SGA executive branch and approved by the student legisla-
ture. The public defender is appointed by the Dean of Students Office.
Participation in the student judicial process is a wonderful way to get
involved with the campus, make a difference in someone else's life, and
learn decision making and communication skills!

Did you know?
Possession of a weapon on campus will result in suspension.
(BB Guns, large knives, slung shots, and air rifles ARE considered
weapons)
The University is required to suspend a student for selling, man-
ufacturing, delivering or even giving away any controlled drug.
(If the drug is a schedule I or 2 (Cocaine. LSD. Ritalin, etc.) then expul-

for that first phase are to be in later this
month and when that occurs we will
know whether we can proceed with
phase one. If indeed that occurs, we're
looking forward to 8,000 additional seats
for the opening of the 1997 football sea-
son. In fact, we will see some construc-
tion work even during this football sea-
son. And then subsequent to that we will
have the opportunity to put in some club
seating on the north side, as well as clos-
ing in the stadium on the east side (where
the scoreboard currently stands), so in
fact it will form sort of ahorseshoe. Ulti-
mately the plan would be to increase the
seating on the south side as well and we
would hope to get in the vicinity of
60,000 seats

The season ended so well with the vic-
tory over Stanford. If you were to simply
look at the prospects this year on paper,
we have to say we could have another
wonderful season. 1 was taken by one of
the quotes by one of the ECU players
who said that It's not enough to talk
about winning games, you have to go
out and do it' Obviously the team has
the right perspective. They are wonder-
ful representatives of our university and
I certainly wish them very well
FUTURE OF ECU ATHLETICS
"1 think the athletics prospects for
East Carolina are very good. Our football
program certainly has led the way. You
can look at last season in men's basket-
ball and see the success they experienced
and the terrific recruiting year they have
had. When you look at women's basket-
ball with a terrific coach (Anne Donovan)
who has a great ability to recruit as well,
I think the future is very bright. We have,
over the years, been successful, year in
and year out in baseball, softball, swim-
ming, both men's and women's, so we have
a whole succession of sports in which we
have exhibited great success. Some areas
are beginning to show success. I think
our relationship with the Colonial Ath-
letic Association (CAA). and now our rela-
tionship with Conference USA for foot-
ball, give us the chance to succeed in a
level of play that I think will be very good
for East Carolina
RENEWED RIVALRY WITH NQ
STATE
"Our experience playing North Can
hna State University lias been that eaci
of the games has been wonderful footbai
games. They have been a special challenge,
for each of the teams. 1 think both teams
look forward to that game as they have i$
the past and I think they will continue to
do that in the future. I thought the gamfc
we played, for example, in the Peach BovJ
was a terrific football game no matter
which way it came out although I was
very glad with the outcome of that gamt.
1 think our ability to compete again
NCSU, and now UNCChapel Hill, Wate
Forest Duke (future games in upcoming
years), all of those provide a terrific off
portunity for the football fans of our stau.
It will give us a chance to spotlight ouV
university in a North Carolina contest'?
FAN BEHAVIOR DURING N&.
STATE CAME
"The first football game I attendejl
when I came to East Carolina was the lajt
game when we played at North Carolirb
State. That was an unfortunate experienoi.
But to the great credit of our students aril
those who support our athletic program,
there have been no further incidents. We
played N.C. State in the Peach Bowl (in
1992) and our fans represented our schopl
very well. I have great confidence goiflg
forward that that will be the case1' ;
DEFENSE from page 24
page
can play in one game
One of ECU's fastest players, se-
nior cornerback Dwight Henry who
has started 30 games in his past three
years, will try to surpass his 58 tackles
and six pass deflections. Henry doesn't
believe the loss of McDaniel or Coo-
per will play a big factor in what the
Pirate "D" hopes to accomplish.
"Those guys were good and I
learned a lot from them and I'm sure
David Hart learned a lot from them,
but Dave and myself have been here
for a while and we know the defense,
especially in the secondary Henry
said. "We're capable of doing the job,
and we just need to step in and ribt
just fill their shoes, but do better aod
elevate the defense
Kinston native Kelvin Suggs, w6o
is only a sophomore, saw significantly
more playing time at the end of last
season. Following spring practice,
Suggs was listed as the starting
"Bench" cornerback.
This defensive unit looks to be jtfst
as strong as last season's. The voids
left by some players will be picked up
by others who do have the experience
and talent Look for another strong per-
formance by all these "D" players.

The East Carolinian
Students choose movies and music for fall
Student Union
wants your help
with planning
Pat Reid
Staff Writer
How many times have you looked
at your bill at the beginning of the
semester and wondered exactly what
that pesky Student Activities Fee was
used for? Or how many times have you
seen the list of upcoming activities
jind wished you had a say in what or
who gets scheduled to appear on cam-
pus? Well, here's your answer to both
questions.
That little logo on the flyers and
posters is the logo for The Student
Union. The Student Union is just what
the name implies, a union of students
working together to provide entertain-
ment for all students on campus. They
schedule all the comedians, lectures,
concerts and movies, as well as any
late night activities such as Buffett
Bingo. In the past, The Student Union
has brought the likes of Barry Will-
iams (TV's Greg Brady), Dr. Ruth,
Chris Rock, The Allman Brothers,
Gallagher and singer Don McLean to
campus for special events. This is on
top of the regular events they have
every year, which include weekend
movies at Mendenhall Student Cen-
ter, a welcome back concert in August
and the annual Barefoot On The Mall
festival.
So what's planned for this year?
Some things are already scheduled,
others are in the works, and a lot more
are still left to plan. That's where we,
the student body, come into the pic-
ture. Without students, there would
be no Student Union. So, ever won-
dered how to get involved with Stu-
dent Union? Here's the answer to that
question, too.
The Student Union is made up
of eight committees that are respon-
sible for planning events in their par-
ticular area. The committees are the
Barefoot Committee, the Cultural
Awareness Committee, the Films Com-
mittee, the Lecture Committee, the
Marketing Committee, the Popular
Entertainment Committee, the Spe-
cial Events Committee, and the Visual
Arts Committee. In order to join a
committee you can stop by the Stu-
dent Union offices on the second floor
of Mendenhall room 236, or you can
call them at 328-4715. Or, if it's easier
for you to e-mail them, you can find
them at uuunion@cis.ecu.edu or you
can check out their home page at
http:www.cis.ecu.edu
studentunionthehomepage.html for
even more information.
The process of joining a commit-
tee is just as simple. You merely pick
up an application, fill it out and re-
turn it to the SU office. The office then
forwards your application to the head
of the committee(s) you wish to join.
The committee head then calls you
or interviews you and lets you know
the time and place of meetings. It's
that easy.
So far the Student Union has
many things already planned - both
old and new. These include comedy
with Carrot Top on Aug. 24 in Wright
Auditorium, a sculpture exhibit cur-
rently on display until Sept. 20, a
merchant's expo on Aug. 20 with both
giveaways and musician John Reno
playing your favorite Jimmy Buffett
songs, Living The Dream: Black Man
Rising on Oct. 1, and Buffett Bingo
on Nov. 7. This is a chance for you to
play bingo for prizes while enjoying
the music of Jimmy Buffett.
Movies already planned for this
fall include The Birdcage, Twister,
Eddie, Striptease, Dragonheart,
Sarafina, Mission: Impossible and
The Rock. These films are all shown
in Hendrix Theatre in Mendenhall and
start at 8 p.m. Admission is free with
a valid ECU ID and one guest per ID
is allowed. Also, drive-in movies are
currently being planned for the fall.
SU is trying some new things out
this year, too. One of these is the
FAN. (Friday All-Nighter) Club. These
events will be held on the Fridays
before home football games and oc-
casionally before away games as
well. The schedule for these
events includes live bands
from 4-7 p.m. and a pep
rally with the ECU
Cheerleaders,
the Purple &
Gold Danc-
ers, and the
Pirate Mas-
cot from 7-8
p.m. Then
after the 8
p.m. movie,
Mendenhall
will remain
open for free
bowling, billiards, and
table tennis from 10 p.m. until
closing. The first of these events is
Aug. 23 and features the music of lo-
cal favorite The Melanie Sparks Band,
as well as the a cappella R&B sounds
of Imani. This Philadelphia based all-
girl quintet has been a seven-time Star
Search winner and finalist
So no matter what you like, be it
art movies or music, the Student
Union offers something for you.
And since you've already
paid for the entertain-
ment through your
Student Activities
fees, you deserve to
go out and enjoy
all they have to
offer. Or if you
feel misrepre-
sented by the
Student
Union or
just wish to
become in-
volved, pick a
committee or two or
three and sign up today. There's
no deadline on applications and all
are encouraged to join. After all, with-
out student participation it wouldn't
really be a Student Union now would
it?
Huck Finn ushers in new season
Jennifer Coleman
Senior Writer
Calling all shower singers!
East Carolina Playhouse has a
great season planned for 1996-97,
and if you've ever dreamed of seeing
your name in lights, there's no bet-
ter time for you to get involved than
now.
The first show of the season will
be Big River: The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn. This is a musical
adaptation of Mark Twain's classic
novel. Far from being just the story
of a young boy's escapades, Big River
deals with many of the hot issues of
the time period, including morality,
slavery and the Civil War.
Huck Finn takes off down the
Mississippi with a runaway slave (his
friend Jim) and the adventure begins.
The audience is invited into a world
not often experienced by the average
theatergoer as we watch Huck sur-
vive basically on
his own in an
adult world.
Jim, because of
his color, is not
accepted by the
public as a man.
On the other
hand. Huck,
little more than
a boy, must by
necessity as-

THE NIGHT
Mark Brett
Senior Writer
So if s Saturday night and you've got nothing to do. You could spend the
evening getting some work done or playing a little Parcheesi with your pals.
Or, you could join the majority of the ECU campus in downtown Greenville.
Conveniently located within easy walking distance from campus, down-
town is the legendary place that earned ECU its "party school" reputatioa
Most of the town's bars are there, and nearly all of the favorite student hang-
outs.
What follows is an overview of the downtown experience All establish-
ments listed welcome everyone 18 and over, but remember to bring an ID,
downtown bouncers don't like underage drinkers.

pjn, tin u ? i
Hollywood, staying true to all that
it is, loves to tap into anything that proves
profitable. We've seen everything from
countless baseball films to an inordinate
outbreak of Jane Austen books translated
to film. Well, the most unlikely of authors
is once again "hot" in Hollywood.
Roald Dahl has inspired more than
one generation of children with his bi-
zarre and unique literary imagination,
and with the recent release of Matilda.
Dahl is inspiring Hollywood to take
children's cinema as seriously as he took
children's literature.
Film adaptations of Dahl's books
haven't always hit the mark. Willie
Wonka avd the Chocolate Factory has
become a timeiess classic with a strong
cult following. However, other films such
as The Witches and even the overrated
James and the Giant Peach never quite
captured Dahl's uniquely bizarre and
magical feel. These films suffered from
the assumption that you have to play it
sate with children and play down to their
level. What makes Matilda so wonderful
and so successful is its ability to capture
Dahl's magic without simplifying Dahl's
vision. The result is a children's film that
adults and children can both enjoy.
I must warn interested parents,
though, that Matilda may prove too in-
tense for younger children (five and un-
der). Danny DeVito directs and narrates
this film, and like his disturbingly funny
War of the Roses, Matilda effectively
makes life's darker moments funny and
entertaining. Some may disapprove of
how adults are depicted within the film
(the father is an oily con man and the
mother is a materialistic idiot), but they
simply have to get over their gripes. Like
most of Dahl's work, Matilda illustrates
how adults don't always have the answers
and can't always solve the problems.
Sometimes it is the children who know
better, and therein lies Dahl's magic
The movie's script, written by Nicho-
las Kazan and Robin Swicord, alters
Dahl's book a bit but the same concept
is intact Matilda, played to good effect
by Mara Wilson, is a six-year-old girl who

L1,
Russell can't escape lame remake
Dale Williamson
Senior Writer
Snake Plissken is back! That's won-
derful, you might say, but who the hell is
Snake Plissken and why should I care
that he's back? While the name Snake
Plissken does not quite ignite nostalgic
glare like, maybe, Indiana Jones, there is
a cult following for this hero that is
thrilled to have Snake back.
For those of you who don't know
who Snake is, he is the renegade hero
Kurt Russell played in John Carpenter's
1981 semi-hit Escape From New York.
Well, Russell (who wants to be the next
big action star) and Carpenter (who des-
perately needs a big hit to reignite his
career) have once again teamed up to
resurrect Snake in Escape From L.A a
needless sequel that has nothing new to
say.
The script co-written by Debra Hill.
Carpenter and Russell, is virtually a car-
bon copy of Escape From New York. The
year is 2013 and America is a new place
filled with new laws. The nation's presi-
dent is a righteous man who wants to
flush America's toilet in an effort to clean
things up. Los Angeles, after being hit
by the big earthquake, is now a lawless
island where all "undesirables" are
shipped.
Our man Snake is. once again,
forced to assist the government This
time, Snake is to sneak into LA. and re-
trieve a stolen black box carrying a very
important veapons system that could put
the entire planet back in the dark ages.
Just to give Snake a little encouragement
the government injects Snake with a le-
thal virus that will kill him within ten
hours if he doesn't receive an antidote.
If this plot device sounds familiar, it
should; the same thing was done in Es-
cape From New York
There are several problems with
LA and a major one revolves around
the simple fact that this sequel offers
nothing new, nothing fresh, except a big-
ger budget Sure, the computer-gener-
ated special effects are interesting, but
they are also distractingly lame. The origi-
nal film had a
focus that made
the chaotic
world of New
York enticingly
real and fun. The
sequel, however,
meanders aim-
lessly about for
an hour and a
half with no clue
as to what it
wants to be.
Since the
original film was
filled with a
brooding seri-
ousness, one
would think
that Carpenter,
who is known for making some wonder-
ful over-the-top films, would just cut loose
and have fun with his sequel. At several
points, there are hints that Carpenter
wants to make the craziest film possible,
but he constantly pulls his punches be-
fore they hit their mark Scenes such as
Snake surfing a huge tsunami or Snake
playing basketball for his life show sparks
of originality, but Carpenter never car-
ries them to their logical extreme. In-
stead, the audience is left with a few in-
teresting moments that have potential
but never reach it
The film never captures any sense
of breathless excitement even in the ex-
plosive climax. Instead, the audience is
forced to watch Snake walk around LA.
There are several
problems with
L.A and a major
one revolves
around the simple
fact that this
sequel offers
nothing new,
nothing fresh,
except a bigger
budget.
from one wasted scene to the next
Not only are potentially interesting
scenes wasted here, but so are some no-
table talents. Russell stays true to his
character, but he is surrounded by an
entire cast known for over-the-top dra-
matics. Unfortunately, Carpenter never
taps into this goldmine. We have Steve
Buscemi (relegated to being more of a
goofy sidekick) as a greasy, fast-talking
con man; we have Bruce Campbell (way
underused) as a creepy plastic surgeon;
we have Pam Grier
(who shows up too
late in the film to mat-
ter) as Snake's former
partner in crime; and
we have Peter Fonda
(whose character is ut-
terly useless and need-
less) as an aging surfer
dude.
Unfortunately,
the bulk of the blame
must rest on Carpen-
ter, who is losing it
more with each film.
Carpenter is not an
untalented filmmaker.
His Halloween is a
masterpiece of slasher
horror; his Starman is
a wonderfully subtle dramatic treat; and
his Big Trouble in Little China (vhich
also stars Russell) is a prime example of
all the good things Escape From LA.
could have been.
Escape From LA despite all of its
potential, is nothing more than a lame,
half-hearted, uncaring, and ilkonceived
remake of Escape From New York. While
I wasn't expecting an original plot for
LA I was at least expecting enough
originality within the film itself to make
me care that Snake Plissken was back.
Well, Snake is back, but he quickly wore
out his welcome. For all those interested
in Snake Plissken, watch Escape From
New York and let LA. sink to its watery
grave.

Monkees take top banana
Jennifer Coleman
Senior Writer
Chivalry is not dead and I can
prove it On Aug. 10, a "mystery man"
helped me out But more about that
later.
I got a chance to review The
Monkees (the real Monkees, not that
disaster of a spin-off group from a few
years ago) in concert as part of their
30th Anniversary Tour. Needless to
say, I jumped at the chance. I'm a huge
Monkees fan; in my younger days I
watched the TV show in reruns on
Nickelodeon religiously (if any big-wigs
at Nickelodeon are reading this, bring
The Monkees back!), listened to all of
their music, and plastered my walls
with pictures, posters and cut-outs
from all of the best teen magazines.
As a poor college student, I
scraped together my laundry money
(you can see my sacrifice - this meant
an extra trip home to wash my clothes
for free) and purchased a lawn ticket
My friend and I arrived a whole hour
early to get the best possible space on
the lawn. I was really impressed that
whole families had turned out for this
event
At a little past 8 p.m the concert
started. I could barely hear the first
few lines of The Monkees' theme song
("Here we come, walking down the
street we get the funniest looks from
everyone we meet") over the screams
and the thunderous applause. The guys
hadn't even begun to say "Hey hey
we're the before I noticed crowds of
people from the lawn flocking to fill
the unoccupied seats in the back sec-
tion of the Gold Circle. Not to be out-
done, we gathered up our things and
ran.
I'll tell you, at this point I was
feeling pretty good about life. I was
bopping along, barely able to contain
my excitement At the end of the song,
I screamed and clapped and basically
acted like a normal college student
(with a little of that ECU energy).
But the old lady in front of me
(she didn't look past forty, but she sure
acted ancient) turned around and
asked me to scream in another direc-
tion. Excuse me? We are at a live con-
cert not sitting at home watching TV,
little miss polyester suit. But I was de-
termined to enjoy this concert so I held
my peace and made a considerable ef-
fort to scream up instead of right in
her ear like I wanted to.
The concert was going great For
those of you who aren't up on Monkees
trivia, let me fill you in. The Monkees
are Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter
Tork, and Mike Nesmith. Mike doesn't
tour with the band anymore - he's
been a little busy since he came up with
the idea for MTV. But Davy, Mickey,
and Peter do just fine on their own
(except for Davy's fashion sense, but
I'll get to that in a minute). And for a
group of old guys, they still look good.
I'm not exactly sure of their birthdays.

The Monkees (Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davey Jones)

counting the dough his mom made from inventing White Out.
but they're probably in their 40s.
As Mickey puts it "If we do a 50th
Anniversary tour, instead of throwing
panties, girls will be throwing De-
pends To put the whole thing in per-
spective, back in the '60s when the
Monkees started giving concerts, Jimi
Hendrix opened for them. I know you
don't believe it, but it gets even better.
To show us in the crowd what that
concert was like for Hendrix, Mickey
began to play the opening chords of
"Purple Haze All
of a sudden, we
hear him start to
chant "We Want
The Monkees! We
Want The
Monkees Poor
Jimi.
About this
time (maybe it was
a little earlier; I
was euphoric and
can't really remem-
ber) the "mystery
man" I mentioned
earlier comes in. I
don't know why
Clarksville "She "Coin' Down "I'm
Not Your Steppin' Stone "Your
Auntie Griselda "Mary, Mary") as well
as some of the new songs and some of
their solo work.
Davy led the entire audience in a
rousing rendition of the Brady Bunch
theme song in memory of his cameo
appearance on The Brady Bunch. They
did something really neat throughout
the concert: every once in a while, two
of them would leave the stage and let
??? the other one
have the audience
to himself for a
few minutes. It
was really cool. I
especially liked
Peter's solo bit a
previously unre-
corded song
called "Good

only two negative
things I would say
about the concert,
and they're really
not all that bad.

this happened. Maybe it was the really
cool Burger King hats my friend and
I'd turned inside out and decorated
with glitter glue to spell "1 Monkees
Fan or maybe it was the fact that we
were two really excited college students
surrounded by old fogies, or maybe he
just thought we were cute. But this
guy up and offers us his inner circle
tickets. Wow, now I could actually see
the Monkees' faces. I didn't get that
man's name, but if he's out there, I just
want to say thank you.
From this point on I was in
heaven. Not only was I seeing the
Monkees, but I could see the Monkees!
We were so close it hurt our necks to
look at the screens. We stood up when
they began to play "Pleasant Valley
Sunday" and didn't really sit down
again. They played a lot of the old hits
("Daydream Believer "Last Train to
The first thing is directed at Davy. What
is up with that yellow suit? Davy
changed clothes every time he walked
off stage, and unfortunately he never
got any better. He started the show in
a bright yellow suit which prompted
Mickey to call him "Tweety Bird Even-
tually he lost the jacket and under-
neath was a black muscle shirt with
the Monkees logo on it (not bad, ap-
parently he works out). But he was still
wearing those yellow pants. From then
on he got slightly better with some sort
of animal print thing, and later an ac-
tually cool long-sleeved shirt with gui-
tars all over it (it hung down almost to
his knees, but then, he is short). Luck-
ily Mickey and Peter have excellent
taste. Both of them wore the same out-
fits the entire show: pants, white shirts,

A Tribe Called
Quest
Beats, Rhymes, and
Life
Derek T. Hall
Staff Writer
If you like rap and are into the
everyday sound of it, don't buy this
album. It's much more than that.
"Phony rappers, who do not
write. Phony rappers who do not ex-
cite. Phony rappers come on Q-Tip
and the gang have put out an album
that no other can stand up to. Not
only does it rise above the rest, it
does so in a classy way.
A Tribe Called Quest is ex-
tremely focused. Focused on their
religion, their rhymes, and their
groove, they reach out. They let it be
known that on top of their rhymes
people can converse, drink, smoke,
whatever. The album is what it says
it is: beats, rhymes and life.
The vibe I get from Q-Tip is that
he's not an extremist, but he believes
in what he's preaching. You don't
have to be him to stand beside him,
you just have to focus on what he's
saying.
The other members of this band,
Phife and Ali Shaheed Muhammad,
also have much to say about the
world as they know it. The best thing
about all of these guys is that they're
positive and not one-sided. If you lis-
ten closely, not all of them agree on
everything in their songs, but they
work together as people and accept
their fellow man for who they are.
Everybody's different. Just like
the songs on this record. You can tell
that each of the songs come from a
similar background; however, none
of them sound the same. That's a dif-
ficult task to accomplish.
The second song on this record
is called "Get A Hold It's about com-
ing to grips with who you are right
now and accepting the fact that no
matter what you do in life, whether
you're a professional athlete or dime
store clerk, you are you and nothing
can change that. If you're focused,
you won't slip.
The last tune, called "Stressed
Out has to be the smoothest. Faith
Evans sings back-up on this song and
her beautiful voice combined with
Tribe's beats and rhymes leaves you
feeling relaxed.
If one were given a choice be-
tween a stressed mind and a relaxed
mind, no doubt, one would choose
the latter. However, it's the stressed
mind from which these guys write.
It's the relaxed mind that they speak
from.
The album is 15 tracks long and
surprisingly has the most attractive
cover in rap history. Check it out
and see for yourself. A burnt out
town full of rage, anger, hostility,

some other Parrotheads getting lunch
in Wilson as we passed through, we were
well on our way to our next stop - Wal-
nut Creek Amphitheatre.
Once in the parking to my friend
and I divvied up the grass skirt and co-
conut bra that I bought especially for this
year's show. After tying on my skirt and
his bra we walked slowly through the
parking lot and separated the true
Parrotheads from the people trying to
be cool. The wanna-be's were the ones
laughing while the real Fruitcakes were
asking for a dance.
The fun continued as we entered
Walnut Creek and looked at all the other
fans who had spent too much time in
the sun. Finally, as show time neared we
found our seats. Promptly at 8 p.m we
could hear Jimmy, and there he was on
the television screens, but the stage re-
mained empty. In an attempt to put a
new spin on things. Buffett decided to
open this show from the lawn. There he
was on a raised platform at the front on
the lawn with Greg "Fingers" Taylor play-
ing harmonica. After two songs from
there, they made their way through the
crowd to the stage as the rest of the Coral
Reefers jammed on an enchanting
rhythm straight from the islands.
No sooner had Buffett put on his
guitar than the band went from their jam
straight into "One Particular Harbour
As Buffett says on his Fruitcakes album,
"It was hot and we were rocking After
finishing "Harbour he commented from
the stage that it was close enough to
tropical weather to keep us in the mood
of things. And with that he transported

the crowd down to Havana, Cuba for
"Cuban Crime Of Passion
The next song, he explained, was
written as a dedication to the great trade-
mark of the South, the drive-in. "And any
behavior you may associate with a drive-
in is acceptable here Buffett said as he
led the band in "Grapefruit Juicy-Fruit"
Buffett then remarked it was time
to "crack open some songs from the new
album After thanking Brian Wilson
from the Beach Boys for his inspiration,
the Reefers kicked into "School Boy
Heart"
But before the next new song,
Buffett felt a story was in order. After
explaining that his job is to sail and fly
around and write songs about it he said
that one of the dangers of his job is en-
countering hostile governments. Last
year, while in Jamaica his seaplane was
shot down after being mistaken for a drug
plane.
"Can you believe they mistook me
for 3 drug dealer?" Buffett joked with
his huge trademark grin. In no time at
all the "international incident" had made
its way into The National Enquirer. "But
since they got all the facts wrong, I wrote
a song to set the story straight" Buffett
explained before playing "Jamaica
Mistaka" followed immediately by "Only
Time Will Tell
Then it was audience participation
time. In an effort to keep an old song
fresh with a new angle, he had two con-
test winners sing "Why Don't We Get
Drunk (And Screw)" while he videotaped
them.
The fun soon mellowed as Buffett
got nostalgic and started talking about
the days past when he used to play the
Gaslight bar in Raleigh: "If we had 75
people at the Gaslight we thought we
were doing great and now I look out at
you and think Aaaahhhh! But this is for
all you who have come out year after
year. It's called 'Come Monday
Later, in trying to reach all the
people he said, "Here's a song for all of
you from the mountains of North Caro-
lina. Even though it's hot here we're
going to make it hockey season when
it's cold and you just sit there with that
revolver pointed at the icebox And with
no further introduction needed, he fired
up "Boat Drinks" for the eager crowd.
Just as the applause was winding
down, a deep and ominous note sounded
and Buffett asked, "Did y'all hear some-
thing?" As the Reefers played the Jaws
theme song Buffett said "That hurricane
swept all these land sharks ashore and
now they can't get back. They're trapped
here And with "shark fins" all over the
amphitheater, he lead the band in a rock-
ing version of "Fins

During a 20 minute filmintermis-
sion my friends and. I got our picture
taken for Buffetf s newsletter due to our
outfits, grabbed some Margarita-flavored
shaved ice, and prepared for part two.
"Son of a Son of a Sailor" got the
crowd back to the island state of mind in
a hurry. Then Buffett said he hoped we
all stayed young at heart and played
?Growing Older But Not Up
After allowing his good friend Mac
McAnally to sing "The City" (a song
McAnally wrote), Buffett said we were
all going to go sailing "off the Outer
Banks up around Cape Hatteras" and
launched into a island version of Crosby,
Stills, and Nash's "Southern Cross The
crowd was in a frenzy that only got worse
when "Southern Cross" ended with the
beginning of "Brown-Eyed Girl Then,
as if that wasn't enough to give even the
biggest Parrothead a euphoric feeling,
they went straight into "Margaritaville
After leaving the stage, the crowd
demanded encores by clapping, yelling,
and beating their seats in a frenzy until
the band came out and slid into "Vol-
cano From there, the crowd went back
down south for "Tampico Trauma From
?Changes In Latitude" to "A Pirate Looks
At 40" Buffett had covered everything
in the span of about two and a half hours,
but he wasn't done yet After the band
left the stage Buffett came back out by
himself with an acoustic guitar and with-
out a word started James Taylor's "Caro-
lina On My Mind Partway through the
song he remarked, "I don't think James
would mind, do you?" And with the end
of the song he wished everyone well, told
them to drive safe and left the stage for
good, or hopefully just until next sum-
mer.

and nice vests. Chalk one up for the Ameri-
cans, huh?
The only other drawback to the con-
cert were the ridiculous prices. I don't
mean ticket prices. I can't complain about
those since I paid $16 and ended up sit-
ting in the Gold Circle. I mean the memo-
rabilia prices. $18 for the program. Thaf s
more than I paid to get in. And shirts for
anywhere from $22-$40. A glass of lem-
onade was $3. Unfortunately, this is a com-
mon occurrence at concerts. "Milk the fens
for all you can get" seems to be the motto
of most bands. Being the spendthrift that
I am, I managed to leave without buying
anything except for that lemonade
(Grandma's is better; she couki be rich if
she marketed that stuff).
This concert was the best The two
little drawbacks really didn't have anything
to do with the quality of the music, which
was excellent And for an older group, they
had plenty of energy. They were all over
that stage I enjoyed every minute of this
concert and yru can bet 111 go again if I
get the chance. Until then, "What am I

JH U CIV from page 42
A'eu' Kor 7Ymes as "a stirring hymn
of strength, an epic of extraordinary
courage and faith Look for J.B. in
November.
Also in the works for this sea-
son are the annual Dance Theatre
performance. Eric Bogosian's Subur-
bia, and the Greek classic Lysistrata.
The ECU Dance Theatre, in Febru-
ary, combines the choreographic tal-
ent of the dance faculty with that of
guest artists to create an exciting and
innovative evening of dance.
Suburbia is a rough and
tumble, action-packed dissection of
the suburban white middle class. Set
in front of a 7-11 Convenience mart,
Suburbia promises to be another in
a series of striking and inspirational
pieces directed by faculty member
Don Biehn. Suburbia will be per-
formed from the end of February
through the first week of March.
Lysistrata, in April, is a triumph
for women in theatre. It is the story
of a minor (or is it?) sexual revolu-
tion staged by the women of Ath
ens to protest the Peloponnesian
War. Written as a political satire,
Aristophanes lets the skirts fly in
this "anything goes" comedy.
Judging by the past perfor-
mances held by the ECU Playhouse,
the 1996-97 season is sure to be a
series of hits. For audition informa-
tion, show dates, or ticket prices,
call the McGinnis Box Office at328-
6829. Be sure to ask about the new
scaled ticket prices.
DANCE from page 42
The Attic The biggest venue for live
musk in town. Ten years ago, REM hit
the Attic stage on a regular basis. Last
year it was Hootie and the Blowfish and
Dave Matthews. Not every band you'll
see here will become huge national stars,
but you might enjoy them anyway.
Peasant's Cafe: Formerly the home
of Greenville's Deadhead scene, Peasant's
Cafe has expanded to include a wider
variety of musical styles. There's still
plenty of tie-dyed granola crunchiness
about the place; but it's net the only fo-
cus. Peasant's features live music, is the
current home of Greenville's local music
. scene, and occasionally features nation-
aBy-known artists like Drivin' and Cryin's
Kevn Kinney, who hit the Peasant's stage
this summer.
Sports PadSplashSharkey's:
Three, three, three bars in one! Sports
Pad is your basic poolroom, with tables
as far as the eye can see. Splash is a tiki
bar that boasts seats ai.d the occasional
live music performance. Sharkey's fea-
tures dance music and, of course, a bar.
The Elbo: For reasons known only
to the gods, the Elbo is where most par-
tying ECU freshmen hang out Gener-
ally, the Elbo plays Top 40 dance music
It's a meat market pure and simple.
The Brig: Dark and smoky, the Brig
features dance music and a back porch
for its norvdancing customers to fill when
the weather's nice. The Brig is also
biessed with the coolest old exposed
brickwork in town.
Wrong Way Corrigan's: A blues-rock
bar with comfortable booths, Corrigan's
caters to a slightly older crowd than many

of the downtown clubs.
The Cellar: Located beneath the
Attic the Cellar offers three rooms, which
is really the only thing that distinguishes
it from the other dance bars in town.
The atmosphere is like the Elbo. but with
a twist (and fewer underagers).
The Underwater Cafe and Raw Bar
A seafood restaurant that also serves al-
cohol (or is it a bar that also serves sea-
food? It's hard to tell).
Happy's Pool Room: The name says
it all. A great place to soak in some "lo-
cal color
The Percolator Coffeehouse:
Greenville's first hip coffee joint rolls on
this fall. The Percolator offers an alter-
native to the beer-swilling mayhem of
the other downtown bars. Its atmo-
sphere is more laid back despite the
frightening amounts of caffeine being
consumed by the patrons. On a typical
trip to the Percolator you'll meet poets.
professors, punks, frat boys. Deadheads,
artists, intellectuals and just plain folks
who like a good cup of Java.
The Bean Bag: Located a few
blocks off downtown. The Bean Bag is
the hippie counterpart to The Percola-
tor.
Cup-O-Cino's: Greenville's latest
caffeinated hangout has apparently sur-
vived the summer and will be serving
up steaming hyperactive beverages
again this fall. CupOCino's has an even
more relaxed atmosphere than its coun-
terparts, with bean bag chairs and book-
shelves set off in a section that's like a
little living room away from home.
Alfredo'sAlfredo's II: Alfredo's is
a tiny little pizza joint with the biggest
slices in town. You can barely get in the
door after 2 a.m. Alfredo's II, next door,
is a small bar that attracts an odd as-
sortment of students. It's usually packed
to capacity.
BW3: A buffalo wings restaurant
that doubles as a bar at night BW3 of-
fers comfortable seats and a trivia game
that can be played on any of the TV
sets scattered around the room.
Well, that's about it for the down
town bar scene. Expect to come home
from most of these places tired, sweaty
and reeking of cigarette smoke. If that's
your cup of tea, pick a likely environ-
ment and dive in. If not there's al-
ways Parcheesi.
MATILDA from page 43
proves to be much more intelligent and
kind-hearted than her uncaring, greedy,
and sleazy parents (wonderfully played
by Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman).
Unlike her parents, Matilda has a desire
to learn and improve herself. Matilda
escapes from her family through books
until her father finally decides (through
Matilda's insistence) to enroll her in
school.
Unfortunately, school is not much
better because Principal Trunchbull
(played to grotesque perfection by Parn
Ferris) rules with a cruel and tyrannical
fist This principal would sooner hurl a
young girl over the school fence by her
cute blonde pigtails than have anyone
defy her authority.
The only comfort Matilda is able to
find in all this mess is through her sym-
pathetic teacher Miss Honey (Embeth
Davidtz), who encourages Matilda to ex-
cel in hei studies. Matilda and Miss Honey
are both victims of their circumstances
until Matilda discovers she has telekinetic
powers. Once this plot device is intro
duced, Matilda transforms into a film
about empowerment where one can con-
trol one's destiny.
DeVito, not surprisingly, is the per-
fect director for Dahl's material. He is a
proven visual talent whose past work, I i ke
Throw Momma From the Train, ef-
fectively demonstrates his ability to blend
dark elements with lighter ones. DeVito
does not insult his child audience by
making everything cute and innocent.
Instead, he stays true to Dahl's demented
wit and produces the best film adapta-
tion of Dahl's work since Willie Wonka.
Overall, Matilda succeeds in being
a film worthy of Dahl's name and wor-
thy of a child's imagination. If you are a
fan of Dahl or well-made children's mov-
ies, then Matilda is well worth the full
price of a ticket If you simply desire a
unique film of higher-than-usual quality,
then Matilda is a definite matinee.
