August 27,1996 ; Vol 72, No. 02 I The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 14 pases Center welcomes class of 2000, announces calendar Student leaders, staff greet minority freshman class Marguerite Benjamin News Editor The members of the new freshman class seem to be enthusiastic to say the Ipast Still th?np is no wav of knowing whether their excitement is due to an anticipation to begin learning or the thrill of being away from home. Upperclassmen and staff members realize how great the temptation may be for new students to involve themselves more with parties and extra-curricular activities than with classwork, so several groups united in the Great Room of Mendenhall Student Center last Thurs- day in a mission of welcoming and warn- ing. The 1996 Minority Student Convo- cation was organized by Minority Stu- dent Affairs and the Ledoni? Wright Af- rican American Cultural Center in order to insure that the vised the freshmen to be "captains of their own ships" and to beware of vari- ous objects that might obstruct their course. "Look around you Poison said, motioning around the Great Room. "Some of these same people who sit be- side, behind and across from you will not be here at the end of the semester be- cause they took their eyes off the desti- nation, because they allowed others to side-track them or simply because they were somewhere too busy making un excuses when the should have been pay- ing attention to their navigation Also in attendance were Pamela Gilchrist, a NC Teaching Fellows Scholar and president of the Kappa Sigma Chap- ter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

According to the Center's direc- tor, Taffye Benson- Clayton, the con- vocation was a suc- cess. Clayton said the center received a lot of support from individuals and groups ca- pable of making a difference in the new students' academic careers. "In my opinion, things went su- perbly Clayton said. "1 was very pleased with the level of involvement of students, student leaders, and faculty and staff members The program segments included a welcome speech presented by Dr. Alfred Matthews, Vice Chancellor of Student life, who advised the freshmen to take full advantage of all the univeisity has to offer and never to hesitate to contact a staff member for guidance. "I really can't say enough about the support we received especially from students and student leaders Clayton added. "I was really impressed with how many came out and partici- pated fully Clayton also applauded the contri- bution of the speaker of the hour, Dr. Ronald Poison, whom she said was "ab- solutely dynamic" "There was an energy and enthusi- asm felt that will add momentum to this academic year Clayton added.

"We have many people with a lot to offer, and we will try to utilize that in every way we can.

Royster Assistant News Editor After a summer of over-drawn debate, the legislature finally de- cided on a budget for the UNC sys- tem that includes more money for ECU than has been allocated in re- cent years. The budget includes a four and one half percent salary increase for teachers across the UNC system. This increase will be allocated based on merit. For ECU, there will be an- other one half of one percent pay increase for outstanding faculty. According to Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, the one half of one percent addi- tional increase will effect only 25 percent of ECU's faculty. The legislature included $9 mil- lion in planning money for new buildings at a handful of universi- ties. Brown said that FXU will re- ceive $1 million of the planning money which will be used specifi- cally for new science and technol- ogy buildings. "We have a dire need for addi- tional laboratory space in the chem- istry and biology labs especially Brown said. "We just received fund- ing and we will advertise for an ar- chitect According to Brown, compara- tive studies of funding levels at in- stitutions similar to ECU showed that ECU was $3.1 million less well funded on an annual basis. Due to this lack of funding, the legislature will allow ECU to spend $1.7 mil- lion that in previous years were man- dated as savings. "Normally, we give back 2 per- cent of appropriations to savings Brown said. "Now where we will ben- efit is that this money will be used towards computer technology and academic equipment Brown said that lack of fund- ing for ECU stems from the univer- sities enrollment expansion which came during a decade when the leg- islature was not prepared to fund the expansion. Other universities which were cited as underfunded and given one-time allocations by the legisla- ture are UNC-Charlotte, UNC- Greensboro, UNC-Wilmington and Appalachian.

Helium Staff Writer What was meant to be a care- free day at the beach turned into a rescue effort for three ECU stu- dents one Saturday during first summer session. Hannah Barabasz, Taffy Tyler, and Scott Green had driven to Em- erald Isle for the'day, thinking that it would be a nice break from school. Their relaxed mood was in- terrupted when they noticed that two young boys who had been play- ing in the surf were having trouble getting back to shore. "We had just come in and were drying off. We were tired ourselves, because it was a lot tougher to get back in than we thought it was Barabasz said. "The undertow was bad, and the waves were very un- even Barabasz added that they had seen the boys playing out in the surf, but didn't see any cause for concern at first, since they were both swimming well. But she had noticed that they were both young, and didn't seem to have anyone supervising them. "I didn't find out their names. They were probably eight and ten- fairly young, but old enough to be able to swim Barabasz said. The boys had been shouting and playing so much that when they began to call for help, the three students thought at first they might have been just playing a joke, but then realized the kids were in trouble. "Scott noticed that they were really in distress and needed help Barabasz said, adding that the boys must have panicked when they sud- denly realized their predicament. "They just realized that they weren't going to be able to get back in. They were swimming fine, but they were past the point where the waves were helping them get in The three of them swam back out into the water. Tyler went to the closer boy and began helping him get in to shore. Barabasz said that he was almost to the point where he could touch bottom, and Tyler was able to get him in her- See HEROES page 4 ??Mdc megu The Fan sucks windpage O Minimum wage finally increasespage SPQRT&e Pirate car revs up its enginepage 12 Tuesday Rainy High 84 Low 67 Wednesday Cloudy High 89 Low 67 1m U tee? a Phone (newsroom) 328 - 6366 (advertising) 328 - 2000 Fax 328 - 6558 E-Mail UUTECECUVM.CISifCU.FDU The East Carolinian Student Publication Bldg. 2nd floor Greenville, NC 27858 Student Pubs Building; across from loyner MHHMH Tuesday, Ausust 27,1996 August 20 Driving While Impaired - A student was arrested for driving while impaired.

Apex woman suspected in Sigma Chi Fire A former acquaintance of a Sigma Chi fraternity member has been charged with intentionally setting the June 8 fire at the fraternity house near UNC-Chapel Hill. Erika Lee Biemer, 19, of Apex was indicted Tuesday on charges of first degree arson, first-degree burglary and damage to prop- erty, Chapel Hill police said. Biemer was expected to turn herself in Wednesday and be formerly charges. The suspect use to attend N.C. State University, although she is not registered for fall semester, the registrar's office said. Police could not comment on the possible motive for the fire. Beimer's attorney, William D. Young IV, could not be reached. Director of Greek Affairs Ron Binder said he could not believe that someone would intentionally set the fire, especially after the May 12 Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house fire that killed five UNC students. "This is a very scary proposition that someone would do this he said.

"It makes us less competitive with states that do offer insurance but we are on par with other UNC system schools Brown said. According to administrative official Andrea Harrel of the division of research and graduate studies at ECU, the $1.7 million appropriated for tuition reduc- tions for graduate students translates into little for ECU's graduate students. "The only thing that will effect graduate students will be three more out-of-state tuition waivers for graduate students Harrel said. This brings the number of gradu- ate students receiving out-of-state tu- ition waivers at ECU to 63. There will also be no money in- cluded in the capital budget to fund the expansion of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. ECU asked for $6 million from the leg- islature after raising $12 million pri- vately. Last Thurs N.C. Representative Henry Aldridge said that ECU would receive $3 million for the expansion through another outiet Aldridge also said Speaker of the House, Harold Brubaker had committed to another $3 million in January. The capital budget included a $4.9 million repair and renovation fund for ECU. The fund will allow for roof and air conditioning repairs as well as gen- eral renovations to buildings on cam- pus. This fund will allow for renovations to the classrooms in the Raw! building as well as new furnishings for academic spaces. "This fund will have a very visual impact on students Brown said.

I "Scott and I went to the fur- thest boy out, who was maybe 200 yards out in the water. I got there fist, and it was all I could do to tread water myself, and help him ke;ep his own head above the wa- let Barabasz said. ; Barabasz said that the under- toW was so strong, and the boy had drifted so far out, that it became a group efforf iust to get him in to shore. I "Scott got there what seemed HKe five minutes later, but I know it Was probably only a minute, and w4 just kept passing the boy be- tween us Barabasz said. The two tried different meth- ods of helping the boy, such as try- ing to put him on their backs and let him ride, but they didn't seem to be making any progress. Meanwhile, Tyler had already reached shore with the other boy. An older woman on the beach who had seen what was happening of- fered the use of a Boogie Board, which Tyler took, and then swam back out to help her friends. The three of them put the boy on the board and with all of them push- ing and pulling on it, finally were able to get to shore. Barabasz esti- mates that it took a half-hour to get the boy to shore. After reaching safety, the three students found out from the boys that they were at the beach with an older brother of one of the boys, and walked down the beach to con- front him. Barabasz said that the older brother-who she estimated to be seventeen or eighteen-was play- ing Frisbee with some friends and didn't seem to realize the serious- ness of the predicament even when the students explained that the boys might have drowned if not for their help. After that, the students decided to call it a day. "We were going to stay all day. but after that happened we were mad and tired, and we all had swal- lowed so much salt water, we de- cided to leave and were home by late afternoon. It kind of cut our day short Barabasz said. The physical aftereffects of the rescue included nausea from the salt water they had swallowed, but that was gone by the next day. Fear and uncertainty played an emo- tional part following the events of that day. "We were shaky, and just scared, because you're thinking, God, what if we weren't there? Would those boys down the beach really have heard them?" Barabasz said. Adding to the uncertainty they all felt was the fact that the num- ber of students who went that day could have easily been one more or one less. Barabasz said that her boyfriend was supposed to go. but had a change of plans, and because of that she almost didn't go that day. "You just wonder-what if my boyfriend was there, whether that would have helped, what if I didn't go, would those two have been able to get both of them in? We were just sitting there playing mind games-what if, what if Barabasz said. None of the students who saved the boys that day were trained in any kind of rescue skills. in high school I was certified in first aid. and I know CPR from here and there-I could probably do it if I had to-but I'm not certified. And to my knowledge, I don't think Scott and Taffy are either Barabasz said. Barabasz said that even though the older brother in charge of the two boys didn't show any remorse for his lack of responsibil- ity or thank them for their efforts, the two boys they rescued thanked them again and again, and seemed to realize they might have drowned if not for the three students. The feeling of having saved someone's like was a new one to Barabasz. "It was strange. I've never felt so in control of somebody's life be- fore.

The minimum wage is due to increase soon, but that still won't help meet the costs of attending college In a time when the chief executive officers of some of our leading corporations are making over 200 times the amount of money that their average employee takes home, it seems a bit ridiculous for Congress to be haggling over a mere 90 cents. We wonder why Congress should be the decision-maker in this process. When was the last time a Senator made minimum wage? If it was about a decade ago, then he or she would have been making about 90 cents less than minimum wage is now. That's right, 90 cents. Ten years ago the minimum wage was a whop- ping $3.35. Today it's gone up to unbelievably high $4.25. That means that a minimum wage earner working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks would bring in $8,840, before taxes. No Christmas holiday, no Thanksgiving break and especially no July 4th off for that lucky stiff. No sir, they would have to work eight hours a day, five days a week to garner that fat paycheck. They would be lucky if they could take a weekend off once a month. Ten years ago that same person would have made $6,698 for the year. But think about the standard of living back then. Although it was the '80s when everything seemed to cost an arm and a leg, it wasn't nearly as much as it is now. Reagan was in the middle of his second term and prices were begin- ning to skyrocket, but the financial crunch didn't come along until Bush was in office. Seven thousand dollars would have gone much farther at that time then $9,000 goes in 1996. Now, a bill passed the House of Representative in May that would raise the minimum wage another 90 cents over the next two years to a total of $5.15 per hour. That's $10,712 a year for our hard-working friend mentioned above. Not great by any means, but a start What does that mean to us, the students of East Carolina University? It affects students from the northeastern and west- ern p?rt of the state the most because these regions have the highest percentage of minimum wage worker, according to the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina. The legislation raises minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.15 an hour in two stages. The first stage goes into effect on October 1, 1996 with a 50 cent increase. The second stage occurs on September 1, 1997 when there will be an additional increase of 40 cents per hour. The Employment Security Commission estimates some 308,000 North Carolina workers will be directly impacted by the new legislation. They represent just over 16 percent of the state's hourly work force and about 9 percent of the overall work force. If you're paying for college yourself, then you already know the harsh reality of minimum wage and how far it will get you. If you're going to school full-time, then more than likely you only have a part-time job, which also means you're probably making the minimum. Needless to say, the minimum wage isn't nearly enough for most people to live on in this country. In fact, that 40 hour per week worker might be classified as earning a wage that is below poverty level. Yet despite all of these despairing remarks, we should feel comforted that we live in North Carolina, not only because the cost of living here is so low in comparison to many parts of the country. North Carolina has one of the lowest percent- ages of hourly workers making at or below minimum wage in the entire South. If North Carolina had to come in last at something, we at The East Carolinian are glad it was that ?

Childhood, an anachronism in the "90s Childhood has become far too burdensome for the American public to bear. It is no longer good for the country's well being. It isn't even good for the children who are captured in an unwholesome prolonged state of dependency. One must remember that allow- ing children to be free and young is fairly new in America. One should re- member that childhood is nothing but an anachronistic leftover from the original liberals. Before the so-called enlightenment, before Rousseau, be- fore the left-wing conspiracy of the 18th-century, the young dressed, worked and were looked upon as shorter adults in society. Children existed for the purpose of furthering our existence, but they were made to pull their own weight in the family. They didn't have a place to be educated and nurtured until they reached maturity. Adolescence, for that matter, wasn't invented until the early 20th century. Children having children is be- coming a dangerous and common occurrence in our country. Young- sters are having sex and using drugs as young as 12 years old, maybe even younger in respect to using alcohol and drugs. The controversial movie Kids, based on the lives of young lower-middle class kids in the city is a fictional illustration which mirrors reality. Our children are running so fast toward adulthood and crime that in ten years we could have a national epidemic on our hands. America's children are losing control with no idea what is right, wrong or decent. Should we go back to the idea of child labor in America? If parents are not teaching their children responsi- bility, then maybe a little work ethic could help out. We are already eras- ing the line between childhood and adulthood whenever it suits our pur- pose. The cost of living is on the rise, Jennifer Hunt Opinion Columnist ' ????, ??-? - , America's children ar losing control with no idea wheels right, wrongor decent. and in order to support families to- day both parents must work. When little Johnnie gets off the schoolbus at 3 p.m. (after his first week in fourth grade) there is no one to greet him at the door, because mom is at work until six and a baby-sitter is too expensive. This is a common and sad scenario for many American kids, and loving parents are pushed in this direction at times. However, there must be a better option than latchkey kids, com- ing home to an empty house for sev- eral hours of the day. Hollywood has been exploiting children for over two decades. Young actors are put to work, taken out of regular schools, told to work long hours and chances are that they would much rather go out on the playground with their friends. Do their parents ask them to act or force them? It is exciting for children to play in front of the camera, but can a five year old really make a decision to act in a apple juice commercial. No, his parents or agent make the choice for him. At the Olympics, we had 14-year- old gymnasts on the "Women's Team In the states, we now have plans to try 13-year-old lawbreakers as adults. In Congress they are considering do- ing away with juvenile jails and "mainstreaming" kids with older crimi- nals. If we eliminated the entire notion of caildhood we wouldn't have to worry about children having children, child care, or schools. Child labor would become another "work oppor- tunity Of course, we could retain child- hood as a luxury for those who could afford it Sort of like an Ivy League college. The rest, the poor especially, will have to do without childhood the way they do without so much else with our government plotting against them. Jonathan Swift offered in 1729: "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public Swift proposed, modestly and satirically, that the Irish young be sold and eaten. They would be as well off as growing up in poverty under Brit- ish policy. Children sold as stock, cattle carts turned into child carts? No, I would never think of such an outra- geous solution for our youth in ? America. Childhood has its good - points when the parents are kind, lov- ; ing and nurturing, and sometimes j the kids become loving adults. We live in a less than ideal world. The future of America rests in ' our children's hands, and we need to open our eyes wider to their needs keeping their best interests in mind. We could wake up one year and find out the next generation of America is gone. Ignoring the dilemmas fac- ing the children of the next decade in respect to drugs, sex, violence and neglect could cost us the lives of our precious young citizens. America's children are dying both figuratively- and literally. ? if yu wt get th$ tfa Jkttr. i l ho rtyr? $ 01) If YOU tlANL A COMPLAINT OK. CMMC-NlT WR.ITE. A LLTTtE.

Hall Senior Writer Last Friday night the Attic was definitely turned on to a sound. The only problem was that the sound had been heard so many times be- fore, so many times in my life, for sure. Knocked Down Smilin' started off very well. Bandmembers Martin Godwin (lead vocals and rhythm guitarist), Mason Pitts (bass guitar). Bogie Bowles (drums), and Sam Sloyd (lead guitar) came out, at- tacked the crowd, and let everyone know that they were serious. It was their self-titled CD release party. It was their long awaited event. It was their time to shine. Well, for the most part, they did shine. Knocked Down Smilin' were one of the most intense bands to step into the Attic within the last year. I was into the groove for the first couple of songs. That is, until I had questions about the Godwin's guitar playing. Basically. Godwin was going through the motions, fill- Photo Courtesy of Knocked Down Smilin' Local N.C. band Knocked Down Smilin' took the audience by storm at the Attic in downtown Greenville last Friday night. ing in where he needed to, and lay- ing it down when necessary. As the night progressed on, Knocked Down Smilin' played a song that sounded a little familiar. It sounded like the old Bob Dylan tune "Knockin' On Heavens Door I was stunned at first. Then I thought that they were getting ready to make a transition and maybe slide into "Heaven's Door but they didn't. They just kept com- ing up with different lyrics and rip- ping off one of the classics. If that wasn't enough, Godwin insisted on asking the crowd if they had heard the tune before. A couple of true souls stood up and shouted out for Dylan, others stood back as if they had never heard the song before. Due to the overwhelming amount of screaming and cheering going on, the band was unable to hear those few people who had no- ticed the original they were steal- ing from. Lucky for them.

From the time he bounded on stage to the time he bounded off, I felt as if I were at a three-ring circus - a high-tech, loud, colorful, psychedelic, hazy, foggy, in- sane circus. When the lights went down and the lasers came on, there was an erup- tion of applause and shouts that her- alded the beginning of the real show. Carrot Top started the show just like a native. "When are they gonna fin- ish this place?" (out comes an orange cone) "Here's a little piece of ECU for ya Then Carrot Top launched into his diatribe on parking. "They ought to make parking a class here. You can have parking from eight to ten. There is nowhere to park Believe me. guys, Carrot Top does not jest. Parking at this campus sucks. He was here for one day and already knows it. He also talked about driving around campus (looking for a place to park, of course) and trying to find something good on the radio. Every station he turned to was playing a different Hootie and the Blowfish song. "Enough Hootie he cried. This was a continuing gag throughout the show, and it never failed to get laughs from the crowd. The first few gags of the show were very particular to ECU and the Greenville area, like the graduation cap from Farmville-1 John Deere base- ball cap with a tassel attached. And then there was the job ap- plication to work at Hooters.

He's made a career for himself by playing men- tally unstable characters in such films as Taxi Driver and Cape Fear.

Tony Scott's latest film. The Fan, places both De Niro and Snipes back in roles with which they are comfortable. Unfortunately, the combined talents of these two notable actors isn't enough to make this film a worthy addition to their resumes. Admittedly.

Uh-uh. Nope. Not gonna laugh at that At one point in the show he got serious for a minute, and told us how tired he was.

Hail Staff Writer Photo Courtesy of TriStar Pictures Psychopathic baseball nut Gil Renard (Robert De Niro) plays hardball with his hero Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes) in The Fan, a new psychological thrilier from director Tony Scott. and Bobby Rayburn (Snipes). Renard is the epitome of the American failure. He is a failed husband, a failed father, and a failed businessman. The American dream does not work for Renard. Rayburn, however, is the American dream. He is a $40 million major league base- ball player who uses his talents to their extremes. Renard. who is an extremely obsessive baseball fan, idolizes Rayburn and everything he represents. Unfor- tunately, Renard. as it turns out, is a gun waiting to go off. The more his life unravels, the more obsessed he becomes with Rayburn. This obsession, of course, eventually becomes deathly dangerous. With all of the sports related films being released these days, one focusing on the darker, more obses- sive side of an American pastime would seem to be promising, and The Fan does exhibit some very prom- ising elements. The opening sequences, for example, effectively establish the two main characters by juxta- posing Renard's stressful and dreary nine-to-five life with Rayburn's rock and roll superstar lifestyle. Also. Renard's relationship with his son and his obsession with baseball is handled in a disturbingly honest manner. A scene in which Renard takes his son to a major league baseball game unnerves through subtlety and honesty, not through needless and graphic See FAN page 8 Sad is what most will feel if they decide to purchase this album.

"Walls (Circus) This light-hearted love song is typical Petty featuring an instrumen- tal combination that creates the sensa- tion of being at the circus.

Ironically, the film loses its drive and edge when Renard crosses the line and becomes a killer. From a narrative perspective, the film logically leads us to Rayburn confronting a crazed Renard, but by this point the film loses its originality and De Niro becomes a character we've seen countless times before. De Niro and Snipes are both wonderful actors who always give professional performances no mat- ter what role they're playing. Stay- ing true to their talents. De Niro and Snipes do their part to make their characters interesting and real. However, their performances are distracted by Tony Scott's MTV directing style. Scott can be a good director when he doesn't let his flashy style overpower a story's substance. He wisely toned his act down for the exciting film Crimson Tide, and he used his quick-edit visuals to great effect in the ultra-violent True Ro- mance. However, his direction for The Fan seems misguided. He fills the screen with quick edits, glow- ing visuals, and a constant soundtrack (featuring music by such acts as The Rolling Stones and Nine Inch Nails) that would be more appropriate for a film like Top Gun. Scott, like Rayburn, is a rock and roll kind of guy. Unfortunately. The Fan is not a rock and roll kind of movie. The film works best dur- ing its subtle, more intimate mo- ments and loses credibility when it tries to speed things up. While Scott's visuals are appealing to the eye (the opening credit sequence is quite interesting), his ability to delve deeper into the substance beneath the flashy surface seems limited. The result: The Fan burns out before it really gets going. So, if you want to see De Niro as a more complex psychopath, see Taxi Driver. If you want to see Snipes at his athletic best, see White Men Can't Jump. And if you want to see Scott at his flashy best, see True Romance. If you want to see a better baseball movie, you have your pick of such films as Bull Durham. The Natural, or Eight Men Out at your local video store. If you still want to see The Fan, save yourself some cash and wait. COWBOY from page this Jenny girl. Hey buddy, stop whining. This character we are referring to is one of the band's lead sing- ers, Paul Sanchez, who also plays rhythm and acoustic guitar on the album. Other band members are Fred LeBlanc (drums). John Tho- mas Griffith (lead guitar), and Rob Savoy (bass), all of whom also sing. All of the songs are written by the entire band. I guess they're all just one big, happy singing and songwriting family. How precious. However, this smashing band from New Orleans does have a song that could put them on the charts, a song called "So Sad About Me?" It's the eighth track on the album, and if you can manage to get that far into the disc, you might enjoy the tune. It's a song about finding peace within yourself, something that most people can relate to. Here's a hint, guys. Maybe if you wrote more about what you feel to be true rather than whining all the time, the words wouldn't seem so far fetched or annoying. If you want to be in a world of your own. that's great. You can just sit in your house complaining and pouting all day. However, if you're looking to make it big, you have to connect with people, most of whom don't care about your little prob- lems (including me). There's always a chance that a curious listener might come to your show, maybe even go the record store and buy your album. If you speak the truth to them, they might stay and listen. However, if you throw a fit, they will run away. Are you with me?

When you're in the movies, you can't get this kind of feedback It's like, you do your scene, and youp like, 'Was that funny?' And they're like, 'Yes, it's funny But nobody laughed. You're not allowed to laugh! You have to be quiet. So I love doing the shows live TEG, What was your first gag? Carrot Top: It was a little hat with hair sticking up out of the top for my Grandma to wear so people can see her over the steering wheel. TEC: What would you like to say to everybody in Greenville? Carrot Top: Just tell them that it was a real pleasure to come back. I love performing in Greenville. I appre- ciate everybody coming out to the show, and just tell them good luck with everything And that's it, straight from the Carrot's mouth.

Illinois rock a few times before mellowing bad out into the same dullness it starts with Overall, this is not a good second sonj and it makes Petty one for two so far. Then, like sunshine peeking through a cloudy day. comes tin rockabilly tune Zero Prom Oatei Space Anybody who has the 'laytkich box set or has seen Petty live knows that he loves to do a little rockabilly every now ai.J then. "Zero" is probably one of the few times that this side ot him has made it on an album, though The next few songs range from slow and mellow to mid-tempo and mellow with the shared theme of being bogged down in life and love. For example. "Climb That Hill" is all about having to overcome the challenges and pressuies we each face day to day, while "Change The Locks" is a declaration of indepen- dence from a bad relationship. In fact. bad relationships run rampant through- out this album. As Petty sings in "Hope You Never "1 hope you never fajl in love with somebody like you This Sold line sums up the tone of the whole CD. The only happiness left on the Cl is found in the songs "Angel Dream" and "California "Angel Dream (No. 4)" and "Angel Dream (No. 2)" are profes- sions of love along the lines of "Alright For Now" from his Full Moon Fever album. Like "Walls they are the same song, but "No. 2" lacks the percussion of "No. 4 You can decide which you like better. From its sound, "Califor- nia" could be viewed as a holdover from Wildflowers, but the song has a shadow that clings to it. making it bet- ter suited for this soundtrack than Wildflowers. Finally, under the "miscellaneous" file, we have "Airport" and "Hope On Board two instrumental. Hope On Board" almost sounds like country music, while "Airport" reeks of a lounge music motif. Different doesn't even begin to describe how "Airpoft" stands out like a sore thumb. So, what caused such a drastic- change in sound? Let's face it, in the past few years Petty and the Heart- breakers have been working hard. Af- ter Petty recorded his smash album Wildflowers, he and the Heartbreak- ers embarked on a marathon tour of North America, put the finishing touches on a six disc boxed set. ind then went straight to work on this new album with a tour already planned to support it. That much work is enoygh to get anybody down. Or maybe it fas written in a way to support the movie, and the band is just as happy as t&ey have ever been. 1 guess we'll just hSve to hear the next album to find outlor sure.

O'Brien Staff Writer Pirate football will not be the only event gaining national coverage on television this fall for ECU, so buckle up and get set to enter the world of NASCAR. Thanks to Lee Workman, AssL Athletic Director, and along with uni- versity officials, ECU will be sponsor- ing a Busch Grandnational race team in the Autolite Platinum 250 at Rich- mond International Speedway Sep- tember 6. Students were able to take an up- close look at the purple and gold Busch car in front of the student store Wednesday and Thursday. For those who did not get a chance to see the car last week, there will be another opportunity beside the Pirate Club building on September 7 before the kick-off of ECU's home opener against East Tennessee State. Driver Michael Ritch will be on hand to answer ques- tions about the team and to sign au- tographs. Many may be asking how in the name of cutbacks can ECU afford to spend valuable dollars on a NASCAR sponsorship. Not to fret Pirate faith- fuls, this is just what makes the deal so beautiful according to team man- ager Bryan Clodfelter, a '91 ECU graduate. "ECU does not handover one nickel to the race team Clodfelter said. "The way the deal works is that ECU and Collegiate Licensing Com- pany allow the race team to use the ECU name and logo on the car The race team then has the right to use the logo on memorabilia on things such as hats, T-shirts and die- cast cars. A royalty is paid to the uni- versity out of all sales of the team's merchandise, the team is then allowed to keep all remaining earnings to help support the team financially. The school is not only gaining money from the sale of the team's merchandise, but is also gaining valu- able air time on nationally televised races. "Every 30 seconds the logo is in view equals into approximately $10,000 in air time Clodfelter said. "Six to nine million people tune into a nationally televised race each week, making NASCAR the largest specta- tor sport in the country The race team, which is based out of High Point. N.C is fairly new to the Busch Grandnational Circuit, with appearances in only two other races in Atlanta and Rockingham. The team is anything but new to the world of racing however. Ritch. 23 of High Point, has been racing since the age of eight where he got his start in go-cart racing. He then moved on to be crowned Na- tional Cart Champion before testing his skills in stock car racing. At 19, Ritch won the Mid-Atlantic Region championship in the NASCAR Series Championship. When Ritch got the nod to drive on the Busch Grandnational Circuit he added even more experience to the team with the addition of crew chief Christian Lovendall. Lover ;all. 24 of High Point, came to the Pirate race team, owned by John Ritch, Michel's father, he brought with him four years of experience as assisstant crew chief on Mark Martin's Busch team. Depending on the success at Richmond, the team is scheduled to run three more nationality televised races. NuGrape, Dick Mooney Inc. of Benton Arkansas and O & W Rent- als of Greenville are all associate sponsors for the Pirate Racing Team and help support the team financially throughout the year. "I'd like to especially thank Lee Workman of the athletic department for putting this deal together along with Jeff Charles, and all the students teachers and employees of ECU for all their enthusiasm and support Clodfelter said. It has been said that NASCAR fans are the most loyal fans in all of sports, they can say that with a little more certainty now with the Pirates now in that following. Runners strive for top finishes during season Team building a strong program for the future Dill Diliard Senior Writer rTOP 5 CROSS COUNTRY Lady Pirates Suzanne Bellamy, sophomore As the summer ends, another cross country season begins. Tra- ditionally not known for a strong distance team, the Pirates, led by men's Head Coach Mike Ford and women's Head Coach Charles "Choo" Justice, are slowly but surely making a name for them- selves. Last season Justice's women's team finished fourth in a highly competitive CAA conference. We ran well early in the sea- son and peaked too early, which in a way pleases me Justice said. "De- spite the down swing, we still fin- ished fourth The Lady Pirates will return their top five runners from last sea- son led by sophomore sensation Suzanne Bellamy. Snagging Rookie-of-the-Year honors in both CAA track and cross country, Bellamy will come into the '96 sea- Tara Rhodes, senior Dava Rhodes, senior Karen Rienhard, junior Kerri Hartling, sophomore son as the top runner for the purple and gold. "We're pleased with Suzanne Justice said. "Last season she just got better and better as the season went on, and we expect more of the same this season One of the keys to the cross country team's success is the abil- ity of the top five runners to run effectively as a team. "Early in the season we ran well as a pack, but with some bad timing and the im- provement of Bellamy, the pack broke up to- wards the end of the season Justice said. In the scoring of cross country meets, the wins and losses are determined by the middle runners. This season the Lady Pirate's team glue will include the outstand- ing running of Tara and Dava Rhodes, who will be hungry for a better senior season af- ter a disappointing jun- ior campaign. "Tara and Dava were running well un- til they had a bout with mono which really hindered them from performing to their abilities Jus- tice added. The top five will also be held together by Karen Rienhard and Kerri Hartling who have often been described as steady dependable runners. "The performance of the team will greatly depend on their finish Justice ended. In the past two years the Lady J Men's soccer to 1 kick up victories Strong recruiting class provides depth Jon Lauterer Staff Writer It's the start of a new season for men's soccer and Head Coach Will Wiberg is counting on taking his team to the top. The booting Pirates held their first scrimmage on Friday and Wiberg got the chance to see how his players will compete in the Co- lonial Athletic Association (CAA) during '96. Wiberg was quick to point out the new roster is flooding with new players and an abundance of fresh- man. But Wiberg was even quicker to point out the fact that this team will have no trouble facing up to any team in the CAA. The mass influx of freshman newcomers is the result of a new born, wide spread recruiting drive, launched by the ECU Sports De- partment "There was not much effort put into recruiting last year Wiberg said. "Another setback was the fact that I wasn't hired until a few days before last year's pre-season This year he has been given the opportunity to do it his way. "This is the first year we have brought the players in, a week be- fore classes for training Wiberg said. "Most days we had three field sessions and one 45 minute weight room session By the time most of us were getting up, these players had al- ready gone through numerous train- ing exercises. From 6-8 a.m 11 a.n to 12 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. This may sound like boot camp, but this is what it takes to put together a win I ning team for Wiberg. Judging from the Friday scrim mage, strong defense, running and j passing are strong points for this a year's team. The emphasis is on teamwork and effective communica- - tion on the field. "This team has really come to- gether in the pre-season, and seem to be playing for each other Wiberg' said. j- jj Endurance is another impres- sive factor which this team pos- sesses. After the full regulation time had expired, the guys where stilf sprinting in the Greenville heat, in- tent on showing the coach what they've got ? Players to watch this year will be the six upperclassmen: Jay Davis, ; Kevin Johnson, Darrec Jones, Chris - Padgett, Jon Smiley and Kevin Smith. Wiberg is very confident in Padgetts' playing ability and sees. the team captain having a success- ful season, jjjjj "Padgett is as good as any player in the conference Wiberfc said. "If he is not voted as one of; the best top 11 players, it would be a great injustice The men's soccer team has a i challenging home opener with Vir- ginia Tech September 1. They will' be playing on the newly developed Bunting Field (inside the track), kw cated directly across from the old practice field behind Scales Field House. ?? The game begins at 3 p.m. and admission is free to all students. Let's fill the stands and cheer the Pirates onto victory. Spirits fly high over Pirate Country Pirates have become a solid con- tender in the CAA with a steady group of five that could lead them above and beyond expectations. The men's team will be a much improved squad from last year's sixth place finish in the CAA's. Ford will return eight runners along with a strong freshman class. "We're going to be young again Ford said. "We return eight runners and very few upperclass- men, so the future looks bright Leaders for the Pirates will be veterans Mike Marini and Larry Lewis, from a leadership stand- point, but as far as times go it'll be the youngsters taking center stage. "As a program, we're getting stronger and stronger and now our younger guys are starting to push our more experienced guys Ford said. Two of those younger guys would be Jeremy Coleman and Jamie Mance who both turned in outstanding years for the Bucs. Along with those two new main- stays will be a strong recruiting class that will include immediate contributors. "We've got two guys that stand See RUN page 13 Photo by PATRICK IRLEAfl Flags like this one, by the Rec Center, show Greenville's support of ECU.

The flags will replace the old ones that were purchased by the Athletic Com- mittee five years ago and have been flying ever since. The new, more colorful ECU flags were installed Thursday by Greenville Utilities, and they will continue to fly during the football season.

Horizon offers many ways to find out what the library owns. Specific items can be located us- ing an author or title search; if you do not know the full title of a book or journal, a keyword search can help find the item for you. You can locate materials by medical subject heading or by subject keyword as well.

The bookmark feature available in Horizon allows you to compile a list of items you are interested in, and either print it out or download it to a disk for word processing.
