GREENSBORO (AP) -
Greensboro police have charged a
former Baptist minister with at-
tempting to murder his three chil-
dren by carbon monoxide poison-
ing.
Police say William Richard
Gartlan. 44. confessed to attempt-
ing to poison himself and his chil-
dren by leaving his Ford Granada
running in his basement garage
early Monday morning.
Gartlan was charged with
three counts of attempted first-de-
gree murder. He was under a sui-
cide watch at the Guilford County
Detention Center, where he is be-
ing held with no bond.
The three children have been
placed in protective foster care.
RALEIGH (AP) -GovenorJim
Hunt Democrat or Republican?
One in five voters interviewed
for a recent survey said that Hunt
- who has been North Carolina's
governor for 12 years - is a Re-
publican.
(For the record, he's really a
Democrat.)
The statewide poll conducted
last week by the conservative John
Locke Foundation in Raleigh also
found that fewer than half of the
voters interviewed, or 47 percent,
knew that Republicans control the
state House. Only a third knew that
Democrats control the state Sen-
ate.
Across The Country
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tues-
day President Clinton put his sig-
nature on a historic overhaul of
America's welfare system. He prom-
ised the legislation will "recreate
the nation's social bargain with the
poor" by compelling welfare recipi-
ents to go to work.
In his third public White
House ceremony this week, Clinton
signed into law a new state-run
network of aid, ending six decades
of guaranteed federal cash assis-
tance to the poor.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
single-seat Marine Corps FA-18
Hornet has crashed in the Atlan-
tic Ocean off the coastline shared
by Maryland and Delaware, au-
thorities said Tuesday.
The attack jet was based at
Andrews Air Force Base in subur-
ban Maryland as part of a Marine
Corps Reserve unit, said Gunnery
Sgt. Don Hooper.
The precise location of the
crash was unclear. The Marines
said it was off the Delaware coast

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Weak-
ened by a trip across the Yucatan
Peninsula, Tropical Storm Dolly
rapidly gained new strength Tues-
day as it rolled across the Gulf of
Mexico toward northeastern
Mexico.
Dolly was expected to reach
hurricane status before landfall,
the U.S. national Hurricane Cen-
ter said. Maximum sustained winds
were near 60 mph at 11 a.m. EDT
A hurricane watch was posted
from La Pesca, 155 miles below the
Texas border, south to Veracruz.
HIV testing coming soon
Debate rises over
anonymous
testing
Amy L Royster
Assistant News Editor
Testing for the virus that causes
AIDS is coming to campus soon among
a whirl of controversy over the legality
of anonymous testing.
The North Carolina State Appeals
Court ruled this summer that courts
cannot oversee state agencies and their
rules.
The commission on Health Services
applauds this ruling after fighting to re-
place anonymous testing for HIV with
confidential testing. ACT-UP Triangle, an
AIDS group that supports anonymous
testing is currently appealing this
summer's decision.
Patients tested anonymously are
referred to by number alone. Confiden-
tial testing means disclosing patient's
names, addresses and telephone numbers
in records regarded as confidential infor-
mation between the physician and pa-
tient
Tammy Garrett, a nursing supervi-
sor at the Pitt County Health Depart-
ment said that until the appeals process
is complete, patients can opt for anony-
mous or confidential testing. Currently,
the Health Department is the only place
ECU students can be tested for the virus
that causes AIDS.
"Until the appeal goes through
there will be no changes, we will still of-
fer both anonymous and confidential
testing Garrett said.
Heather Zophy, Health Educator for
the Student Health Center said that HIV
testing will be available to students
through the Student Health Center soon
but details have not been worked out
yet
"We have been talking to the Pitt
County Health Department about offer-
ing the service for a while now Zophy

Do you think the
courts should do
away with
anonymous HIV
testing?
College freshmen
get better
welcome
Chris Loga
News Writer
As the school year gets started, the
freshman class will have many choices
to make, including whether or not to stay
in school.
Fortunately, more freshman stu-
dents at ECU and in North Carolina are
deciding to stay in college. The national
picture is a different one altogether.
In North Carolina, the numbers
have remained fairly consistent over the
years with the latest totals at 19.3 per-
cent
According to a study in 1989, iden-
tifying the problems of freshman has
been an important task for local and
government education officials. Accord-
ing to recent national figures, a fresh-
man class with 500 can expect about 135
to drop out or transfer before their
sophomore year. For a class size of 2,000,
538 will not return.
Since the national level is so high,
officials in North Carolina have begun
to make changes in the way freshmen
are received.

ECU has followed suit to help the
new students get adjusted to college life.
At ECU the freshman class consisted of
2,360 students in 1994 with 77.3 per-
cent returning for a sophomore year. At
UNC-CH however, a freshman class of
3.486 had 92.7 percent returning.
As for students at ECU, many fresh-
men leave for different reasons.
"Some don't have priorities and
this is their first time from home se-
nior Kirsten Rukenbrod said. "They lose
track of what has to be done
"I knew some people who just get
carried away, they can't handle the pres-
sure of class, money, and being away
from home. It can cause a tremendous
amount of stress and they need to get
it out somehow junior Catie Gallo-
way said.
According to the College Press Ser-
vice, many colleges have taken the facts
seriously. Many schools have tried to
make the orientation session a more
worthwhile experience for freshmea
Whether it occurs in the summer
or before classes start officials use the
orientation time to pitch the strengths
of the school and ensure the bonds
between school and student is made.

ECU Police will be out in full force this semester in the Reade Street lots,
using plain-clothes officers to protect property and to enforce alcohol laws,
state laws and city codes.
These parking lots. located on Reade Street from Fifth Street to First Street
have shown in the past to be high traffic areas during the weekend. Out-of-town
visitors and students alike use these parking lots while they visit the downtown
area.
Fn order to more effectively protect this outlying campus area, the police
department has increased uniform patrol in the area and added plain-clothes
officers in these lots.
ECL' Police Chief Teresa Crocker said the department hopes to deter crimi-
nal activity with the added manpower in the parking lots.
"We hope by placing officers in the lots, we can prevent some of the prob-
lems we have had in the past Crocker said. "We want to be able to provide
security to those in those lots and to enforce alcohol laws
Uniformed officers will continue their routine patrol of the vehicles in the
lots, while the plain-clothes officers will focus more on alcohol and city code
violations, such as urinating in public and public consumption.
Plain-clothes officers will also be enforcing a "zero-tolerance" policy, giving
state citations to any and all individuals found in violation of these laws and
codes.
"Alcohol is a problem on our campus, and the police are taking steps to
ensure alcohol laws are enforced and .students are provided a safe environment
Crocker said.
"Most of our assaults and property crimes are a result of alcohol. As a
result, students become victims. Students need to be aware of alcohol laws and

About the recent tuition and fee increase
Resident tuition increased $34 per year or 4 percent this year. Fees
increased $45 per year or 5.4 percent. These increases were held to the
lowest possible levels consistent with inflationary and programmatic costs.
The State of North Carolina continues to have remarkably low tuition costs
at its public institutions, this is the result of strong state support.
About the new 150 class days policy
The University of North Carolina board of Governors has adopted a
policy which requires each of the constituent universities to achieve by
1997-98 as a minimum of 150 class days each academic year. ECU has a
total of 143 class days in 1996-97. The University Calendar Committe will
be charged with the responsibility of recommending a new calendar for
1997-98 that meets the 150-day minimum requirement.
Old Austin Cupola and other construction
The replica of the cupola from the original Austin Building is nearing
completion. It is an important symbol of our past and provides a tangible
connection with the beginnings of the university.
The renovation ot Joyner Library continues to move forward. The addi-
tion is open and, from all reports from students and faculty, is being well-
received.
The Student Recreation Center will open during the Fall semester. It
should exceed all expectations.
About our chances at a parking deck
The Board of Trustees and the administration have considered for sev-
eral years the possibility of a parking deck on central campus. All parking
facilities, including decks, must be financed by parking fees.
Parking fees would have to be increased to an extraordinarily high
levei to finance a single parking deck. The university has opted instead to
create parking lots on the perimeter of the campus and provide timely
access to the central campus via the student bus system.
Concerning changes to the SGA election process
I have long held that the responsibility for student government, includ-
ing the student elections process, is placed with the students. I believe that
any changes in the elections process should be initiated by the Student
Government Association.
On the first day of class, between 4:25 p.m. and 4:44 p.m a female
student was assaulted in her dorm room in White Hall.The victim was
sitting in her room studying with her back to the open door when an
unknown person struck her causing injuries. It is believed that the sus-
pect then left the building by using the southeast stairs near the back
corner of the building towards Greene Hall and Ringgold Towers.
August 23
On Friday, between 1:45 and 2:30 a.m a female non-student was
assaulted by unknown persons in the area of Slay and Umstead Halls.
The victim was walking through campus when she was assaulted with
an unkown sharp object.
Anyone with information about either of these crimes should con-
tact The PittGreenville Crime Stoppers at 758-7777 or The ECU
Police Department at 328-6787. Rewards are available for informa-
tion leading to the arrest of the person (s) responsible. You do not
have to give your name.

News Writer
Have you ever tried to visualize
ECU as a large liberal arts school? Well,
the answers to your prayers may hap-
pen slowly over the next 10 years.
In the July 31 issue of the News and
Observer and in the Aug. 1 issue of the
Daily Reflector it is estimated that en-
rollment in universities across the state
will increase by 40,000 students over
the next decade. This increase is ex-
pected to effect most if not all of the
16 University of North Carolina system
schools.
ECU has committed to recent
projects such as the renovating of Slay
Umstead residence halls, the new addi-
tion to the library, and the new student
Recreation Center.
Administrators of ECU, as well as
other UNC schools, have been asked to
make plans to accommodate expected
enrollment increases.
Timothy Sanford, director of insti-
tutional research at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill said in
an interview with the Daily Reflector
that the legislature was trying to decide
the future of the universities.
"We're trying to do our best to look
ahead at the crystal ball and figure out
where Carolina wants to go Sanford
said.
According to Robert Thompson,
there are several factors of enrollment
increases that will need to be addressed
in the future.
"At present we are looking at two
possible scenarios Thompson said.
"The first is what percentage can the
school handle with the minimal amount
of growth, using the facilities we have.
The second is considering more fund-
ing for classrooms and facilities become
available
Presently, ECU's estimates for
growth are anywhere between 1 with-
out new funding for classrooms or aca-
demics buildings and 2.5 with more
funding. ECU presently has many ad-
ditions already in work, like the new
Science and Technology building which
will house Chemistry, Biology and other
science related studies.
The university is also looking f(
ward to many planned renovations to
residence halls over the next few years
which will allow for an influx of students.
However, the increase in students will
not weigh heavily on the housing situa-
tion, since the greater number of stu-
dents will mean an increase in income
for housing development
"We are also looking into other pro-
grams like distance learning, television
and Internet classes, but these are still
in their infancy Thompson said.
The present head count at ECU is
17,000 students. This figure is expected
to increase from 19,000 to 22.000 stu-
dents in the next decade. Fortunately,
the instructor to student ratio is going
to stay steady at 16:1.

Rodney Kidd graduated from ECU
in May of 1995 with degrees in commu-

later, he landed a job driving a giant hot
dog which utilized both degrees.
Kidd is one of 30 recent graduates
from across the country who are finish-
ing up a three month internship with
the Oscar Meyer company.
"They hire kids out of college to
drive the Weinermobile and be spokes-
persons for the company Kidd said.
He applied to the company and

mester off from ECU, and did some trav-
eling.
Although the Oscar Meyer company
recruits actively for this program on col-
lege campuses, they do not come to ECU.
Kidd says he had to be persistent when
he applied to the company, as he had
not been interviewed face to face like
most of the other applicants.
After sending in a resume and call-
ing back several times, Kidd made an
impression and eventually was hired for
the internship which has been highly
regarded for some time.
"Rolling Stones rated it in the top
10 for internships approximately two
years ago Kidd said.
The interns pursue various rejects
during their three months, which might
include doing store calls, parades or prize
patrol.
"This summer, one of our promo-
tions was a talent search Kidd said.
This initial phase of the talent search
involved getting children ages four to 12
to perform and taping them, then send-
ing the tape to a talent agent in Holly-
wood.
The talent search led Kidd and his
two partners over a significant portion
of the United States. Kidd said they went
to nties in Wisconsin. Maine, New Jer-
sey, New York, Massachusetts and Penn-
sylvania.
Kidd said that all the interns went
through a two week training session
before going on the road. They were
taught skills in media, driving and crisis
management
Kidd said there were many events
during their travels which would remain
memorable. While in New York, he saw-
several plays, including "When Pigs Fly
during the intermission of which he met
actress Whoopi Goldberg in the lobby.
There were also the occasional protests
from vegetarians who objected to a gi-
ant hot dog making its appearance in
their community.
Although Kidd admits it may sound
a bit strange at first to think of driving a
hot dog as a job, he feels he has gained
valuable experience, as well as having fun.
"The experience of driving across
the country has been great. Everyone
wants to see the Weinermobile. every-
one waves to you, it's like being in a
parade every day Kidd said.
Due to the fact that Oscar Meyer
does not promote their internship
much in North Carolina, Kidd is the
only intern ever to come from this
state. But Kidd says he is trying to
convince the company to recruit at
ECU next year. So don't be surprised
if you see a giant hot dog roll on to
campus in the spring.

The Student Health Center hoped
to contract the Pitt County Health De-

Zophy said due to staffing problems, this
type of arrangement was not possible.

vide pre-test counseling, testing and post-
test counseling. Zophy said these types
of counseling are required by law. When
testing is available, counselors will inform
students of the current status of anony-
mous testing and explain student's op
tions.
Other schools in the state such as
N. C. State University offer HIV testing
on campus.
"At State, testing was offered once
or twice a week Zophy said. "Now it is
offered on a daily basis
In a previous issue of The East Caro-
linian, Christian Godwin, HIV coordi-
nator and counselor at The University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill said that
they have offered HIV testing through
Student Health Services since 1989.
Testing services have been available
for the past three years at the University
of North Carolina at Greensboro. The
University of North Carolina at Asheville's
testing program was initiated one year
ago.
Zophy said that there is already a
heavy demand for testing among ECU
students.
"I anticipate a large percent of stu-
dents wanting to be tested Zophy said
"We already refer a lot of students to the
Pitt County Health Department"
Zophy said that if anonymous test-
ing is eliminated, it will effect students
who receive testing on campus.
"Students could still get tested, but
they could not be tested anonymously
Zophy said. Everything at the center is
confidential already. Medical information
is kept between the doctor and the pa-
tient"
Zophy said that there is a lot of con-
troversy over anonymous versus confi-
dential testing.
"Much of the controversy with con-
fidential testing arises from a possibility
that insurers could drop patients who's
medical records indicate they are fre-
quently tested for HIV Zophy said.

OuxtteouL
It's that time of year again. That's right, with the
dawning of a new fall semester comes heavier traffic flow
with parents and students doing that last minute shop-
ping. The college town of Greenville along with the local
merchants welcome the student body with open arms;
but they're not the only folks happy to see the young-
sters donning the purple and gold.
Oh no.
The most noticeable traffic flow lies around the Green-
ville Blvd. area where you find super stores. They're glad
to hear the school bell ring because the Wal Marts and
the Targets of Greenville depend on the students for busi-
ness as well as employment.
It was no accident that retail powers like Wal Mart
and Target chose Greenville to plop a store in the middle
of town. Everybody knows that the average college stu-
dent has little or no money, so when say a student has
the burning desire to buy the George Strait CD he she
wants or the toilet paper they desperately need of course
they'll seek out the lowest prices possible. With the tre-
mendous size of these corporations, they have the abil-
ity to buy in bulk and give the lowest prices for quality
items. Sounds great, right. Wal Mart's happy, the stu-
dents are happy, but the local small businesses may not
enjoy the big boys coming in and shaking things up.
The small local stores of Greenville, who were here
long before Wal Mart became a household name, can't
buy in bulk, therefore they must raise prices to actually
make a profit. It doesn't take a business major to see
that the ability to sell a product for three dollars less
than a local competitor could weed out competition in a
hurry. Now don't look at Wal Mart as an evil empire,
they're not out to get anybody, they're just doing things
the American way.
Yes, many small businesses have and will suffer from
these super stores' ability to have such a wide selection
along with low prices simply because of their size. De-
spite the fact that these superstores have just about any-
thing, including hair styling salons, they may not have
what everybody wants. This is where the small businesses
thrive on. It is nearly impossible for Wal Mart to have
everything the smaller stores have just because of their
buying methods. So, the small business will probably not
die due to a Wal Mart, Target or T.J. Maxx. Plus the
economy of Greenville is not any poorer from the arrival
of these ware house stores.
These super corporations provides jobs for many of
the students and townspeople alike. Sure, it's a frighten-
ing thing that one or two names can change the com-
plexion of a whole town, but we at TEC believe it's the
American way in progress. It's just too bad family-owned
businesses that have been in this town for years have to
suffer.
Mega-huge-
superstores
offer students
the lowest
prices on
everything from
pliers to toilet
brushes. But
should these
superstores run
family-owned
businesses out
of business
with their
power buying
techniques?
Is Jones a common man?
To the Editor:
Walter Jones, Jr. is running for
re-election to the United States Con-
gress. Mr. Jones claims he is running
as a friend of the common man. Mr.
. Jones wants the good people of the
Third District to believe he has had
their best interests at heart while he
has been in Washington. Mr. Jones
would have us all believe he is work-
ing for the industrious in the commu-
nity and the students here at ECU.
Common people cannot afford to
send their children to college when
student loans are cut Mr. Jones is a
wealthy man who voted to cut student
loan and financial aid programs when
he voted for 99 of the Republican
Contract on America. Mr. Jones is not
being the friend of the common man
that he claims to be when he is deny-
ing poor and middle class students a
chance at a higher education. Finan-
cial aid is the only means by which
many ECU students can afford to at-
tend school. Mr. Jones over the last
two years has aligned himself with
men such as House Speaker Newt
Gengrich and fellow freshman Repub-
lican Fred Heineman. Gingrich has
made millions off of book deals and
Heineman last year stated that his
salary of one hundred thirty thousand
dollars put him in the lower middle
class. Mr. Jones and his aristocratic
friends are out of touch with middle
class America. They do not seems to
understand what it takes for common
people to make ends meet
The only way to preserve student
loans is to vote Mr. Jones and his
wealthy Republican friends out of of-
fice in November. Common people in
the Third District must vote no to
Mr. Jones and his anti-student and
anti-middle class policies. Walter
Jones, Jr. needs to come home in
November.

To the Editor:
I would like to respond to TEC's
article regarding the new budget Sen.
Ed Warren was not mentioned in your
article, so please include this letter in
you next edition so that your readers
will know of his strong record of com-
mitment to ECU. This year Sen. Ed
Warren acquired 1 million dollars for
the planning of a new Science and
Technology building for our campus.
He also made arrangements to acquire
6 million next Spring for the Ficklen
Stadium Expansion Project It was our
Senator, Ed Warren, that supported
a Senate probision to provide the eq-
uity funding discussed in the TEC
article. These funds are designed to
bring ECU's funding up to the level it
should be.
Last year Sen. Warren worked to
arrange an agreement between ECU,
UNC, and NCSU to play football in
Greenville. UNC and NCSU had re-
fused to play us for several years prior
to that. Sen. Warren also obtained
approximately 12.5 million dollars for
the Life Science Bldg. at the ECU
Medical School. Senator Warren also
submitted a bill for the bond issue that
brought us our new library and the
funds to purchase property that will
allow ECU to have more space to grow.

Superman saves Chicago
With the republicans coming of
a rip-roaring party, the presidential
race became more of a contest or
so it seemed. Then came the Demo-
cratic convention in Chicago this past
week. I flipped on the tube and there
was Christopher Reeves starting
things off with an endearing speech.
I thought to myself, " It really is all
over now The ability of the demo-
cratic party to initiate sentiment in
the past four years was continued with
Reeve's presence.
When Dole was nominated by the
republican party, it seemed cut and
dry that no sensible American would
shun Clinton. Dole represents the old-
school, monarchical, you-don't-need-
to-know-for-your-own-good politics
that got us into trouble in the late
1960's. However, with the republican
convention, came the appearance of
a looser, off-the-cuff type of neo-repub-
lican. This made me slightly nervous,
because a hip republican is a contra-
diction of terms. Nonetheless, it made
the democrats wonder, "Now, what
can we do to fix this vote-altering
leak?" Answer: Call up Superman!
Christ, if he can't fix it, we're in deep
doo-doo.
The move to have Reeves, the
fallen Superman, who has risen to
even higher levels since his accident,
was a flare of true genius. Though I

give the American public more credit
on most occasions, I would have to
say that just seeing this valiant man
was a strong move on the old psyche.
As involved citizens, we try to listen
to the actual politics of our chosen
leaders, but in this case, the demo-
crats played on the heart strings.
Reeves discussed no actual political
premises, but rather reminisced over
the days of a similarly crippled man
named FDR.
Well, batten down the hatches!
There are two names associated with
democratic greatness in the 20th cen-
tury, FDR and JFK. Just utter those
names and people can transpose those
ideals onto Clinton. Not necessarily
because be represents the same poli-
tics, but he does have the same ethic.
So, as prepped by Stephanopolus as
he may have been, Reeves was inspi-
rational all the same. Now, the re-
publicans might say that this was a
cheap trick, but at least we weren't
the ones selling missiles to the Irani-
, ans, so there.
A lack of sentimentality has been
what the republicans have so long
been without The democrats have
always appealed to the zest and zeal
of American life, which is really what
we all want not some reflective starch-
ball who wishes he had the civil war
back.
Reeves' presence just punctuated
that sense of fervor we all have to be
allowed another four years of progress
in a truly democratic Capitol Hill. I
do support Clinton and so does the
man from Krypton, a guy who was
rarely wrong.
Silly, but true.
This election is not about the
banter of bill principles, it is about
commitment to a cause that we
started in 1992. You have to give any
quality president two terms nowadays.
Besides, with Reeves playing Super-
man for the democrats, that must
make Bob Dole the Lex Luther of the
republicans.
Think about that. .

Greenville cinema

Hendrix Theatre
takes top honors
from TEC critic
aie Williamson
ienior Writer
Greenville may not be the best
lace to see the best movies, but it at
jast offers more than one choice for
h evening of cinema. Those of you new
� the Greenville area may either be
eiighted or appalled, depending on
;here you're from, to hear that the Pi-
ate city has five movie theaters, total-
lg twelve screens.
Rumor has it that all of Greenville's
heaters (save one, which I will get to
iter) are owned by the same person. If
his is the case, it explains a lot All of
ur theaters belong to the Carmike
hain, and they are all homes for the
lolly wood blockbusters. None of these
heaters (with very rare exceptions)
how foreign or independent features,
nd they each share problems that can
e easily solved with a little effort
Admittedly. Greenville is not Ra-
leigh, Charlotte, or even Chapel Hill, so
it will not have as many theaters as those
shining cities. It also means that
Greenville's theaters (for the most part)
will not be as nice as the theaters in
more thriving communities.
But Greenville is not simply a hole
in the ground. The city has boasting
rights to a major state university filled
with significant scholars, many success-
ful local and national businesses, and a
steadily increasing population that
shows no sign of slowing down. If Green-
ville as a city and a community is pro-
gressing, then why shouldn't
Greenville's night life? As it stands now,
Greenville cinema, despite its twelve
screens, is not all it could be simply be-
cause the theaters do not live up to their
potential.
I know that one's notion of "night
life" does not necessarily mean going
to the movies, but movies are still very
much a popular .American pastime (just
look at how much money Hollywood
has made this summer alone). Green-
ville citizens, like the rest of America,
love going to the movies. Unfortunately,
the movie experience in Greenville is
not always that pleasant. Since I've
wasted enough page space complaining
about Greenville's cinematic choices. 1
now tui n my critical eye to the theaters
themselves.
Let's start with The Carolina East
Cinema, the "classiest" theater in town.
The Carolina East has the distinction
of being the only Greenville theater with
four screens. The screens themselves
aren't much to brag about (none of the
local screens are). Compared to the sig-
nificantly larger and wider screens in
such cities as Raleigh, the local screens
appear to be more like big television
monitors than actual widescreen cin-
ema. Still. Carolina East offers the more
pleasant viewing experience.
The main advantage Carolina East
has is its lobby, which is spacious and
conveniently constructed. Once inside
the theater, one has easy access to the
individual theaters, located in four sec-
tioned-off corners of the lobby. Section-
ing off the theaters is essential because
it allows traffic leaving one showing to
exit without crashing into those wait-
ing to get in. The other local theaters
have a big problem with traffic flow sim-
ply because the theaters and the lobby
are not arranged in a rational manner.

Lost Children offers french-fried Sci-Fi
Dale Williamson
Senor Writer
French cinema is quite different
than American cinema, and City of
Lost Children perfectly illustrates this
point. This French film, which has re-
cently been released on video, takes a
fairly standard science fiction plot and
transforms it into something different,
something unique, something un-
American.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm
trashing America. However, 1 am (at
least partially) trashing American cin-
ema. If the overall plot for City of Lost
Children had its conception in Holly-
wood, the resulting film would star
Arnold Schwarzenegger and it would
be more action and less cerebral. While
the French may love American mov-
ies, they sure don't make them like we
do.
City of Lost Children is a futuris-
tic film that revolves around several
disparate plots which all come together
by the conclusion. Explaining how the
plots work together would give too
much away and require too much bor-
ing summary. Instead, let me quickly
summarize individual scenarios.
Plot 1: A hulking, muttering,
sideshow muscleman (played by Ron
Perlman) searches for his kid brother,
who has been kidnapped by a futuris-
tic organization known as the Cyclops.
Plot 2: Perlman's search teams
him up with Judith Vettet, a rebellious
child who seems to be developing a
subtle romantic interest in Perlman.
Plot 3: Vettet, along with several
other orphaned children, are forced to
steal anything they can get their hands
on for a pair of evil Siamese twins.
Plot 4: On a remote laboratory
in the middle of the ocean, a brilliant
scientist tries to discover a method
which will allow him to dream.
Plot 5: On the same remote labo-
ratory, five identical clones struggle
with their individual identities and each
other
Plot 6: On the bottom of the
ucean, a reclusive man collects junk in
"lis submarine until some unknown
brce drives him to the remote iabora-
ory.
On paper. City of Lost Children
lay appear to be cluttered and unto
jsed. Admittedly, it does have quite a
w characters to deal with, but then

So you're new in town, and despite the school's rep, you actually came
to ECU to learn something. Maybe-you even want to do some reading out-
side your regular class work. Maybe you're wondering, considering the pro-
liferation of bars and fast food joints near campus, where a person of an
intellectual bent could go to find some books.
There's always the Student Stores, of course, but that's easy to find.
Anyway, their selection of non-course books is a bit limited.
No, if you're looking for actual, honest-to-God book stores, you've got
to get off campus and into the wilds of Greenville. To help the incoming
ECU student pick his way through the literary wilderness of his new Emer-
ald City home, we here at The East Carolinian have composed the follow-
ing book store guide.
Waldenbooks: Our first book store is the most well-known in town, but
it's also the farthest from campus. Located at Carolina East Mall.
Waldenbooks offers the usual variety of main-
stream reading selections in all the usual genres. �
It's fine if you're into Stephen King or John
Grisham. but those with more intellectual or off-
beat interests may want to look elsewhere. In
other words, it's no better or worse than any
other Waldenbooks you've even been in. Blah.
Michael's Bookshop: Located at the Plaza mall,
this locally-owned store offers a good selection of
mainstream titles. More than a mere Waldenbooks
clone, however. Michael's also caters to a slightly
more intellectual crowd. You can get all the John
Grisham you want here, but if you're into
Shakespeare, politics, science, history or even
entertainment, Michael's has that too. You can
find some real gems among the crap here, if you
look hard enough. And if you're a book lover, dig-

ample of how Hollywood differs from
French cinema. Whereas Indepen-
dence Day consciously focuses its ef-
forts on action and obvious character
development. City of Lost Children
sacrifices action for mood and subtle
character development. The relation-
ship between Perlman and Vettet. for
example, is never quite dear. Sexual
tension is hinted but never fully ex-
plored. Subtle actions, such as Perlman
massaging Vettet's tired feet, thrust the
film forward.
Ironically, the film's director. Jean-
Pierre Jeunet. has been signed on to
direct Alien 4. which stands to be a big
Hollywood picture in Summer of '97.
While action has been important for the
Alien films, rumor has it that Jeunet
got the job more for the visual style he
displays in City of Lost ('hildren, which
is the most expensive French film made
to date. American audiences (who are
accustomed to special effects on a grand
scale) may not be utterly enthralled with
Children's special effects, but Jeunet's
camera still works wonders for his dark,
futuristic world. Jeunet visually does for
his cluttered, junky, watery wasteland
what Ridley Scott did for his entropic
landscape in Made Runner.
City of Lost Children is very much
a visual film the must have looked gor-
geous on the big screen. Unfortunately,
the video release limits Jeunet's vision
to the aspect-ratio of one's television
set Hopefully, a letter-boxed version will
be out soon.
I will warn all fans of traditional
science fiction that City of Lost Chil-
dren does not follow tradition. It paces
itself methodically, much of the tilm is
filled with silence, and the climatic end-
ing is anti-climactic at least by Holly-
wood standards. However, it vou're will-
ing to get a taste of what the French
have to otter then City of Lost Chil-
dren is a must-see.
What do you get when you take
a handful of mediocre '70s bands,
a few '80s metal bands, and just a
touch of new stuff? A so .ndtrack
full of one-hit wonders with no-
where to go. And that's the recipe
for the soundtrack of the new Tales
From the Crypt movie. Bordello of
Blood.
Somewhere in the planning of
Bordello of Blood, somebody had
a good idea for a soundtrack that
went horribly awry. That led to an
album containing bands like An-
thrax. Free and Cinderella - that's
right. Cinderella. Unfortunately, in
this wide range of bands, there are
only two new songs. Anthrax has
the honor of being one of the lucky-
bands with the title track, "Bor-
dello of Blood "Bordello" is a
slight change from the band's usual
speed metal stylings. While still
heavy and driving, it contains more
harmonizing than your average
Anthrax (vocally and musically),
and it is a bit more musically com-
plex.
However, the same cannot be
said for the other new tune.
Kerbdog's "This Is Not A Love
Song In fact, about the only nice
thing to be said for this track is that
it's there. A one line song, it sounds
more like a garage band warming
up than an actual fully-produced
studio recording.
After Kerbdog comes '70s time.
Frees "All Right Now" kicks off the
retro movement of the album in
jamming style. A guitar rock an-
them, you have to wonder if this
was reallv added for the movie or
just to help sell the soundtrack to
classic rock fans. Either way, those
same classic rock fans can also feast

When Brad Nowell first started
listening to and playing music, he
couldn't decide exactly what to play
because the music moved him in so
many ways. He was influenced
heavily by rap, funk, ska and punk.
Driven by a desire that burned
brightly, the man himself could only
extinguish the flame. Well, that
flame burned out a couple of weeks
ago. and we lost a good musician.
But. we also received his best work
to date.
Sublime. Nowell and his band's
newly released, self-titled CD. hit
stores late this summer. With their
major-label sound, 17 new tracks,
and a sonic diversity like you
wouldn't believe, the album appears
to be their best to date. Which is
good, considering Nowell's untimely
death has probably, and unfortu-
nately, ended the band's short ca-
reer.
The album starts off with a se-
rious groove. From one note on the
keyboard, "Garden Grove" is born.
Once the song gets moving, it
changes its shape into the form of
reggae improvisation. Nowell can ac-
commodate. His voice just belongs.
The album itself shifts from one
source of energy to another. And yet
the band remains tight, each of them
knowing when to add their own par-
ticular accent. Nowell's musical part-
ners-in-crime, Bud (drums) and Eric
(bass) (both of whom appear to have
no last names), compliment each
other very well. Nowell couldn't
have asked for a better band. Each
member has his own time to solo.
Sure, a vocalist like Nowell is more
likely to get noticed than the next
guy. but for the most part the band
has a strong common aura, unbreak-

i-Without giving away too much,
the novel is basically a children's
bedtime story, but written for

Haroun, is a child, the son of a fa-
mous and respected storyteller
wWSe wife and gift of telling sto-
ries" have both left him. As one
might expect, the conflict in the
story develops around the desire of
soWand father to get both lost trea-
sures back.

ted7 Rushdie is a master story-
tell. Being from India, he pulls
qSffe a bit of influence from Indian
mythology and makes allusions to
IffdTan cinema and art . But
Rttstidie writes in English because
he has lived in England for a good
portion of his life,
so he has a wealth-
of allusions to
western culture
and art. He
doesn't just stick
to "high art' ei-
ther. Shakespeare,
Star Wars, the
Beatles, the En-
glish and Indian
alphabets, the fan-
tasy stories of
Ursula LeGuin
and C.S. Lewis,
the Arabian
Nights, the game
of chess, and piles
of other sources
all fivv into this
(forgive me) sea of
stories.
Rushdie is a
poetic writer. He
possesses an
amazing ability to
make words jump
through hoops
that you just
didn't know were
there and to twist
the universe just
enough to pull the
reader into his playful and insight-
ful imagination. He is a comic
writer, poking fun at nearlv every-
thing, even himself and the reader.
As he takes the reader through this
story about the art of telling sto-
ries, he weaves a joyous and yet in-
trospective adventure thai is both
compelling and softly prophetic in
nature.
Rushdie's characters are well-
developed, possessing more liveli-
hood in the short 200 pages of this
novel than any character in a 500-
plus-page John Grisham novel could
ever have. Rushdie uses words and
situations economically, making ev-
ery phrase, every plot development
exist as both frivolous and indis-
pensable.
Most of all, Haroun and the
Sea of Stories is a thrilling ride
through the imagination of one of
the 20th century's most talented

ging through the shelves should be a
joy in and of itself.
Central Book and News: Located
at the Harris Teeter shopping center
on 14th Street Central Book and News
is essentially a big newsstand. Their
selection of books is kind of smail, but
their magazine selection is another
matter entirely. They have magazines
of every conceivable stripe here, truly
something for everyone. But above and
beyond their normal variety. Central
Book and News also has a dizzying
array of pornography. It's the biggest
and most obscene collection of printed
depravity in town; even if porn offends
you, this place ;s a must-see.
Booktrader: Greenville's oldest
used book store, located on the cor-
ner of Charles and 14th streets, has a
wide variety of secondhand books on
sale for 50 percent off cover price. Like
most used book places, they will take
your used books for store credit, mak-
ing this a good place for starving stu-
dents to check out The selection is
mostly mainstream best-seller stuff, but
occasional gems surface here too.
Bookworm: Another used book
shop, Bookworm has the coolest name
of any store in town. Located on Green-
ville Boulevard near Wal-Mart, the
Bookworm's selection, policies and
prices are similar to those of
Booktrader. If you can't find it at one
place, check the other one.
Nostalgia Newsstand: Greenville's
longest-lived comic book shop, Nostal-
gia once shared their Dickinson Avenue
building space with Booktrader. Now,
however, the place is filled with com-
ics and nothing but. This store is kind
of dingy and rundown, but that has
nothing to do with the quality of the

merchandise. Their large back-issue
stock is messily arranged, but a lot of
great comics are tucked away in there,
many at cover price. Nostalgia also of-
fers a wide variety of alternative and
underground comics: if it's in print
they probably carry it.
Heroes Are Here Too: Located in
downtown Greenville (between all the
bars). Heroes is a typical mainstream
comic's shop. They sell mostly super
hero comics, so don't go in expecting
to pick up anything too bizarre. The
staff here is more friendly than the
usual surly comics shop herd, however,
and the owner will bend over back-
wards to help out regular customers.
It's also easy walking distance from
campus, which makes it a favorite
among ECU'S comics collecting set
Book Potato: Eccentric. That's the
word I can best use to describe this
place, located on 10th Street across
from campus. Book Potato sells a
mixed bag of comic book back-issues,
vintage science fiction and assorted
other books of any type the owner
finds interesting. The atmosphere is a
bit intense.
Barnes & Noble: Greenville's book
selection continues to grow with tbe
addition of this giant chain. Barnes
Noble will not only feature a very large
selection of books, but also a small cafe
where one can drink espresso and read.
And there you have it: Greenville's
purveyors of the printed word. Diligent
readers can find a lot of interesting
stuff if they know where to look. So

CINEMA from page 5
The other key to the success of
Carolina East is the fact that the snack
bar is smartly located in the center of
the lobby, as opposed to the rear. This
not only allows lines to form around the
snack bar without bothering those who
simply want to skip food and see the
movie, it also allows the employees to
serve as many customers as possible as
qjickly as possible, thereby making the
wait for food short
But the Carolina East is not per-
fect and like the Carolina East the other
theaters also suffer problems. The Buc-
caneer, which tends to have wider
screens than the Carolina East has its
snack bar in the center of the lobby,
but the lobby still leaves much to be
desired because it isn't built to hold a
large, sell-out crowd.
The Park, Greenville's only $1.50
theater, handles itself nicely. Since the
Park only has one screen, there isn't
much of a problem with traffic flow.
While the theater itself isn't great the
Park, for its price, is pretty satisfying.
The main complaint with the Park cen-
ters around the movies it typically de-
cides to show, but I won't deal with that
issue now.
The worst of the bunch is without
a doubt the Plaza. Not only is this the
MCX
ater butt ugly (who exactly designed the
curtains hanging on the walls?), it is also
illogically constructed. The lobby is too
small for a three-screen theater, thereby
causing serious crowding problems; the
snack bar is located in the rear of the
lobby, thereby causing more crowding
problems: and the individual theaters
are awkwardly situated down narrow
halls, thereby causing even more crowd-
ing problems. Oh, by the way. the
screens and the projectors here equate
poor cinema. When I finally saw
Schindler's List at the Plaza, I distinctly
heard the projector cranking the reel
around. The Plaza almost makes a movie
trip to Raleigh worth the effort
There is one final option open only
to ECU students and faculty and their
friends: Hendrix Theatre, located in
Mendenhall, the one theater not mo-
nopolized by the same man. This, in
many ways, is Greenville's best cinematic
choice. Its screen is large and does main-
tain the aspect-ratio of widescreen cin-
ema. The seating area is spacious, al-
lowing for a rather large sell-out crowd,
which can get rowdy at times, depend-
ing on what movie is showing.
Hendrix has several advantages
over the other local theaters. For start-
ers, all films can be seen for free, which
makes Hendrix the best choice for your
buck. Also. Hendrix. unlike the Carmk�
chain, will once in a while slip in higher,
quality film selections. For example,
Hendrix is the only theater in town.that
dared to show The Cook, The Thief, His
Wife, and Her Lover, a delightfully
risque import f
The only drawbacks to Menden-
hall center around its no-snack policy
and its sound system, which is barejy-
stereo. But this is a problem all Green-
ville theaters suffer. Don't expect a T$X
sound system at any local screening U
you want to really experience the feel,
and sounds of big films like Twister,
then you're going to have to drivejp
Raleigh or Chapel Hill. You're nogfjri,
ingtofind it here.
In summary. Greenville's movie the-
aters range from pretty good to pathetic
While 1 feel Greenville is ready for and.
deserves better quality in its local-fliS-
aters, 1 don't see it happening any time
soon.
Still. Greenville cinema could be a'
lot worse. While we'll never see fllrhs
like Trainspotting at a local art h6use,
at least we can feel secure that the big'
hits like Independence Day and Mis-
sion: Impossible will always have a
home here.

ECU women's volleyball is set to
take care of some unfinished busi-
ness from the '95 season, picking up
where they left off under second year
Head Coach Kim Walker.
The Lady Pirates are coming off
their first winning season in seven
years. They finished a strong fourth
ih regular season conference play last
year, while stepping out early in the
first round of the CAA tournament.
This year's team is a young one
and is yet to find its identity. They

Walker knows
the ins and outs of

into a contender in the CAA.
"This is most important, because
the CAA tournament carries with it
an automatic bid into the NCAA tour-
nament" Walker said.
The NCAA tournament is a tour-

action in before.

Assistant Sports Editor
;� Football is upon us once again,
btiit as every college athlete knows by
r(bw, every sport is year round - in-
cluding basketball.
That's right It may be a little
early to talk about hoops for most
people, but for a number of Division I
players from the east coast including
ECU'S Jonathan Kerner and Alico
rjunk, that is all they can think about.
During the later part of the sum-
mer break, a select number of basket-
ball players from the east took their
show overseas in Europe for summer
workouts. These two players worked
�out, as well as played six games in
Jthree different countries.
"It was a new experience, but it's
Jnot an uncommon thing for players
to go overseas for these workouts,
Kerner said.
The trips for these athletes gives
them a chance to see how the style of
play is overseas compared to the style
here in the U.S. It gives the redshirt
players an opportunity to get back
into the groove of their game before
the season starts.
"Playing over there is lOtally dif-
ferent from over here Kerner said.
"It is a lot more physical here in the
states, but the competition is still
stiff
Kerner, a 6-11 senior, considered
going to a similar camp in Brazil with
senior Tim Basham prior to his jun-
ior year to sharpen his skills, but de-
cided to attend this year instead. Due
to NCAA transfer rules, Kerner as did
Dunk, had to sit out a year to become
eligible for Division I play. True, sit-
ting out a year gives them the chance
to adjust to the academic life but this
is also a year without game experi-
ence. So, the logical solution calls for
any kind of game experience they can
acquire.
"These workouts are good for
guys who have redshirted and have
sat out a year, because they give the
guys an opportunity to compete at a
pretty high level before the season
even starts Kerner said. "For guys
like Alico it gets them back into the
feel of an organized basketball game,
and for guys like me it just sharpens
my skills even more
The two Bucs along with the
other CAA and Big East players,
played six games against European
competition and came out 3-3 at the
end of the summer. Not to mention
they came out of it with a whole dif-
ferent outlook on the game.
"It was good to get back to orga-
nized ball Dunk said. "I had to get
use to playing by the rules with the
hand check rule, and just getting back
to playing against players who play
everyday
With the addition of this experi-
ence for these two Pirates, along with
the recruiting year second year Head
Coach Joe Dooley had, Pirate fans
should look forward to an exciting
winter to go along with an exciting
fall.
Soccer season is sneaking up on
everybody, except for the ECU
Women's Soccer Team. This team is
ready to face even the toughest of
competitors throughout this fall sea-
son.
Fortunately for the team they
will have lots of home field advan-
tage as 10 of the 20 scheduled games
are going to be held in the newly
formed soccer complex inside
Bunting Track. With an abundance
of old and new talent this team
should fare well this season.
ECU has recruited 18 freshman
from all over the country as well as
North Carolina. There are players
from New York and Indiana all the
way down to Florida. This is ihe re-
sult of an effort put forth by the ECU
Sports Department to expand the
number of athletes in all sports,
whether they be revenue making or
not.
Many of ECU'S non-revenue
sports have been overlooked due to
the strong concentration of football
recruiting. This year many of the
coaches from all sporting teams are
getting some valuable talent to work
with.
With only a small amount of re-
turning players, and a few transfer
students, Head Coach Neil Roberts
has a challenging season in front of
him. Returning for his second sea-
son as head coach. Roberts is very
confident about this team, which has
a large majority of freshman.

Senior, Barrie Gottschalk (left) takes the ball down the field
against her competitor during a match last season.
"Some of these freshman have
played at a higher level in high
school Roberts said. "So I feel very
good about this team
Roberts is especially confident
about the goalkeepers and defensive
lineup. All three of this year's goal-
keepers are freshman players, but
Roberts doesn't seem to think of this
as a problem. Instead, he is exited
about this abundance of new talent
that will become stronger as the sea-
son progresses.
Another factor of this year's
team is the trio of transfers that will
play an important role in leading this
team. This trio consists of: Sheila
Best, Stacie Cause and Kristen Thor.
Cause and Thor will be the team cap-
tains for this season.
The Lady Pirates will open up
their season this Saturday here at the
soccer complex against Barton Col-
lege at noon.
10 Minute Brief
The '96 Pirate football team wili be without a crucial player this
season. Cornerback Dwight Henry tore the anterior cruciate liga-
ment (ACL) and the medial meniscus in his left knee last week in
practice. It was a non-contact injury that occurred when Henry turned
his body and his lower leg stayed planted, thus causing the tear.
Although it is a season ending injury, it will not end Henry's career
here at ECU. The senior has one redshirt year left and could opt to
return for the '97 season if he wishes. With Henry out, junior Tabari
Wallace and freshman Forrest Foster will vie for the corner job. As a
member of ECU'S 4x400 relay track team, Henry brought a lot of
speed to the field. Last season he had 58 tackles and six pass deflec-
tions.
