"On behalf of the presidents of Conference USA it is my pleasure to announce that beginning with the 1997 season, East Carolina Uni- versity will be a football member of Conference USA Slive said. "This long awaited affiliation is the result of a lot of people both at the conference level and here at East Carolina University The deal was a collaboration of many officials at all levels. "I think it's appropriate to call attention to at least two people, without whose effort, this never would have taken place and that's Chancellor Eakin and Athletic Di- rector Mike Hamrick Slive said. On hand to answer questions were Eakin, Hamrick and football Head Coach Steve Logan. All seemed pleased and relieved that this day had finally come. "It is a great day to be a Pi- rate Eakin said. "It is also a great day to be a member of Conference USA and to be affiliated with all the institutions of the conference. We are joining, indeed, a wonder- ful collection of universities Tribute can also be paid to the players and coaches who have es- calated this football program to an- other level. "I want to pay tribute to our coach, Steve Logan, and his play- ers who have represented this uni- versity so beautifully Eakin said. "You know, athletics is in some re- spect a part of our university that can do us great ill or be a real source of pride and I want to say, under the leadership of the athlet- ics program and Steve Logan and all the other coaches, we have a program that indeed does instill pride Without the Liberty Bowl ap- pearances, the announcement today might have never happened.

Officials prepare New classes move off-campus for kick-off Brandon Waddeli Editor-in-Chief Joe Horst Contributing writer The team's preparation is over; the administration's has only be- gun. The football team has been getting ready for its first game since the Liberty Bowl victory last season. This Saturday the eyes of North Carolina will be sharply focused on Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium as ECU'S "football team takes on the East Tennessee State Buccaneers at 4 p.m. Aside from the obvious scouting by competing universities, other concerned parties will also be watching the game. "Student Government is thrilled to have later football games and "hopes that stdents enjoy themselves, but not at the cost of jeopar- dizing the university's image Angie Nix, SGA president said. Members of SGA are not the only ones concerned about Saturday's game. "Make a commitment to come to the game but if we want a nationally ranked program, we have to show we're worth it We've gone a long time without any problems and we don't need to start See KICK page 4 Satellite sites offer degree programs Stephanie Waters News writer Soon students will be complet- ing degrees without stepping foot on campus. Through a partnership with Craven and Carteret community col- leges, ECU now offers three bach- elor degree programs, which are available off-campus. These degrees include middle grades education, industrial technology, and informa- tion processing administrative ser- vices. Classes are offered on evenings and Saturdays and follow the same academic calender as those offered on-campus. Admission requires the completion of general college re- quirements or its equivalent of a two year associate degree that is usually obtained through a community col- lege. Classes are held at Craven and Carteret commu- nity colleges and " at Havelock Middle School. When de- ciding where the program should be held, an infor- mational survey, which was con- ducted in nu- merous loca- tions, revealed that the areas surrounding Morehead and New Bern gener- ated the most i interest. The programs offered at Havelock Middle School serve the military population "I've set a goal to earn a degree from ECU. This has allowed me to do something I've wanted to do for a longtime � Michael Hudson at Cherry Point. "I've set a goal to earn a degree from ECU. This has allowed me to do something I've wanted to do for a long time Michael Hudson said. "I think it's handled very, very well. It's something we ve needed for a long time The off-campus program is aimed at the non-tradi- tional student. These are people who hold down 40 hour a week jobs and also manage a family �minunmi i n in at home. The stu- dents do not have the time or the means to commute to Greenville everyday for regular scheduled classes. Hudson is currently working to- wards a degree on middle grades edu- cation at Carteret Community Col- lege. Mr. Hudson has had cancer for two years now, which makes travel- ing on an everyday basis diffficult. The use of computer technology such as the Internet allows students, like Hudson, to pull down lessons in the event that they are unable to attend classes. Expansion may occur if the gen- eral public generates enough inter- est If this happens, the decision will then be left to ECU administration. Full-time staffing may pose a consid- erable problem iti the future. Dr. Paul F. Fendt is associate di- rector of continuing education and feels that this problem can be corn- batted with use of the Internet. "For faculty to cover their on-cam- pus and off-campus duties is a real challenge Fendt said.

Need for financial aid increases Report shows more students in need of assistance Angela Koenig News Writer Each year the number of stu- dents seeking financial aid increases due to the rising cost of a college education. The North Carolina Association of Colleges and Universities (NCACU) published its annual report "Financ- ing Student Access to Higher Edu- cation" at the beginning of August which states that although North Carolinians benefit from a college education, the federal government is not likely to increase its level of sup- port. The effect of this is students will have to take a more active role in funding their education. The office of Student Financial Aid encourages students to ask questions and seek help in applying for financial aid in- cluding scholarships. Director Rose Mary Stelma said. "That's what we're here for, it's our job. and it's what we're supposed to do The financial aid office is also developing information sheets which will answer questions concerning as- sistance. In addition to this, students who have questions can access their office via e-mail at faques@ecuvm.cis.ecu.edu. The Student Financial Aid office estimates that an in-state student who lives on campus will pay $7956 this year for tuition and fees, etc. With more than 40 percent of ECU students receiving financial aid, a decrease in federal assistance will lower the number of students able to continue their education beyond high school. Of the $47.8 million in aid re- ceived by ECU, $24.7 million is in the form of federal loans including Parent and Stafford loans. More than 3000 students receive Pell Grants, which are given only to those stu- dents who exhibit significant finan- cial need. The NCACU's report states that it is necessary for the NC government to increase need-based grant funding. This will benefit society by lowering poverty, unemployment rates, crime and need for public assistance. Although NC had the third larg- est increase in grant aid to under- graduates between 1990 and 1995, Georgia increased their aid by al- most four times and Virginia by more than twice NC's rate. "We encourage students to ap- ply early (for financial aid). In Au- gust we have 150 to 175 students to apply during registration week be- cause they get their bills that day and decide to apply that day Ms. Stelma said. Ms. Stelma warns students to be weary of companies offering scholarships lists for a fee. The same information may be obtained on the internet through the Financial Aid office. Their homepage links to FastWEB which lists scholarships, grants and loans. MttfU Purple and gold rocks out with the F.A.N.

Kellum Senior Writer Students who enjoy playing with the computers in any of the numer- ous labs around campus are aware of the many services and features that the computers have to offer. Some students are now using the Internet to plagiarize or cheat on their school- work, which is a cause of concern to professors and administration. Karen Boyd, the assocaiate dean of students expressed her concern over the increasing trend toward com- puter misuse, which is beginning to be prosecuted in some college judi- cial systems. Just last semester at UNC Chapel Hill a student was caught us- ing an on-line service to cheat in a class and went to the campus honor court There have been cases involving computer misuse at ECU. although not necessarily plagiarism. "I've been here two years, and I've been having cases like this from day one Boyd said. Boyd says it is important that stu- dents realize that anything done on the computer, especially the e-mail, is subject to retrieval and is considered legitimate documentation. "Anything you type on e-mail has the potential to be brought back up. It may not be able to be retrieved in it's entirety, but in partiality it can be Boyd said. This is an especially relevant con- cern for students who use the com- puter here on campus, where that material is considered the property of the school. "It is considered legal documen- tation, and it is the right of the com- puter owner to have it Students need to realize that It is the universicy's resources Boyd said. Web sites such as "Evil House of Cheat" and "School Sucks" have made it easier than ever for students to use the Internet to invent new ways to cheat These sites offer student term papers just waiting I o be downloaded. Boyd said that so far there have not been any plagiarism cases at ECU, but there have been other cases of un- ethical computer use. There are ways you could haze or harass over the computer. We have had a harassment violation Boyd said. "We've had students who have posted stories of things that happened that are not true The harassment case was adjudi- cated, and there was a hearing held, but Boyd could not comment further. So far. there has not been any change in campus policy or the judi- cial system because the current poli- cies are considered adequate for any action that needs to be taken. "We have not written a special code for this, because everything in the handbook covers, in general, stu- dent behavior Boyd said. Students need to be aware of all the dangers and pitfalls of using e- mail, the Internet and especially us- ing the Net as a source for schoolwork. While some information taken off the Internet is considered research, some of it is just plain cheating.

Dozier News Writer On Tuesday, September 3, 1996, in the Brody Medical Sci- ences Building, Dr. E. Haavi Morreim discussed the future of managed care. Morreim is a professor of hu- man values and ethics at the Uni- versity of Tennessee College of Medicine. Her lecture was part of a Perspectives series, sponsored by the ECU Medical School's depart- ment of Medical Humanities and the Bioethics Center. Morreim has been noted for her numerous publications on bio- ethics and health policy. Recently. she published her new book, Balanc ing Act: The New Medical Ethics of Medicine's Sew Economics. Morreim said, "I think we are go- ing to see some ter- rific changes in the next few years of managed care Morreim dis- cussed current trends involving the advantages of per- sonal choice and the disadvantages of bureaucracy and inflation in managed care situations. She also noted that "clutzy" economic man- agement resulted in negative, im- personal doctor-patient relation- ships. "the individual gets to keep some or all of what's left in the pot (money) at the end of the year � Dr. Morreim, professor from the University of Tennesse Morreim rec- ognized de- fined money c o n t r i b u - tions to man- aged care, such as block grants, capi- tation and defined grants. These contri- butions act as functions ������ of transfer- ring economic risk. Also, vouch- ers for health care are provided by certain businesses across the United States. Such grants and vouchers can mean savings tor hos- pitals, insurance companies and patients. On Management Services Orgar nizations (MSO's). which also re- turn spending, Morreim said, "the individual gets to keep some or all of what's left in the pot (money) at the end of the year In conclusion to her lecture. Morreim stated that health care benefits are usually held by employ- ers. Eighty-four percent of employ ers who offer r-uch health care usu- ally offer one choice of health care. This one choice encourages employ ees to use their employers' speci- fied plan.

"It's number of officers ba- sically the same as last year Teressa Crocker, ECU police chief said. "The home games haven't had any major problems in the stands in two years. "There is a zero tolerance for alcohol inside the stadium. Those found with alcohol will be ejected from the stadium, given a state ci- tation and campus appearance ticket Crocker said. Tailgating stands as a time- honored tradition at ECU. The lots at the Allied Health building and Harrington Field are the only places where tailgating activities will be allowed. ECU uniformed and plain- clothes officers, along with Alcohol Law Enforcement (A.L.E.) agents, will be patrolling the tailgating ar- eas enforcing alcohol laws. Stu- dents and alumni should remember that there are no kegs, glass con- tainers or pig cookers allowed in these areas during tailgating. Beer and unfortified wine, such as wine coolers and table wine, are the only alcoholic beverages allowed during tailgating. The tailgating fields will close and remaining people will be asked to leave the area at the start of the game. In order to enter the sta- dium, students must have a valid ECU I.D. when showing their stu- dent tickets at the gate. Gates 5 and 6 are designated as student gates for this weekend's game.

Zophy advises not to look at a person to decide if he has an STD or not ��STDs do not discriminate against age. race, status or sex Zophy said. "One out of every four college students estimated to be infected by an STD Zophy said students should not wait until they start showing signs of an in- fection before acting on it It could be days, weeks, months, or even years be- fore a person shows signs to some STDs. In fact with diseases such as chlamydia and gonorrhea 80 of women and 20 of men will not show any symptoms. N.C. leads the nation in gonorrhea cases. Zophy recommends that if students are going to be sexually active they should use some type of contraceptive. "Laytex condoms are one of the more effective ways to protect yourself Zophy said. "To get the best protection from a condom one should make sure to put it on, use it and take it off properly Also, make sure you store it in a cool place and use it before its expira- tion date. As well as watch for any rips or tears. Condoms can be bought at the Student Health Center at 15 for S2.00. They are also sold at student stores, resi- dence halls and local pharmacies at vari- ous prices. Zophy knows that even if you use the best contraceptives available that abstinence is the only real protection. "Before one becomes sexually ac- tive find out about your partner's past" Zophy said. "Testing is very important before starting a new relationship People under 25 account for two- thirds of the new STD infections in the U.S. each year. Students can receive an STD test at the ECU Student Health Center at a reduced cost The prioe range from $5430.00.

September 11, 1996 10:30 a.irt - 1:00 p.m. Wright Circle Student Plaza i � Thursday, September 5, 1996 The East Carolinian 4 Owilieci President Clinton approved the nation's toughest crack- down on tobacco directly affecting farmers in the eastern part of North Carolina. With ECU sitting in the heart of tobacco country, students whose families depend on to- bacco money for their livelihood are undoubtedly follow- ing the situation closely. While it is important to remember that this university lies in the middle of the conflict and has been shaped by students and educators alike whose families depend on tobacco, it is not necessarily appropriate to curse every- thing that attempts to regulate the industry. For example, the recent crackdown on tobacco is an effort to reduce teen smoking by classifying nicotine as an addictive drug. Now the Food and Drug Administra- tion (FDA) will be able to regulate the advertising and availability of tobacco products. Just because tobacco is king in eastern North Carolina doesn't mean that we want the industry to have the free- dom to target advertisements towards youths. Tnese new regulations would prevent selling cigarettes in vending machines. Who can protest this? There are no beer and liquor vending machines which underage buyers can pur- chase alcohol from. Lawmakers from across the state were furious at the President's decision. "The president is declaring war on 76,000 North Caro- linians who gain their livelihood in one form or another from tobacco Sen. Jesse Helms, RN.C. said. Tobacco farmers are worried that this is the first step in a series of government regulations that may ruin the industry. Still, comments like Helms' are overstated. This step in itself is a step towards protecting children from a life long addiction whose complications often result in death. Underage smoking doesn't have the same taboo asso- ciated with it as underage drinking does. Unfortunately, since nicotine is an addictive substance, and it is generally more accepted by society than other addictive drugs, youths easily fall prey. The new classification of nicotine as an addictive sub- stance is an encouraging step towards addressing the seri- ousness of the problem of underage smoking. Anything derogatory to the tobacco industry is not popular in this area. However, neither should anything be popular in this area that promotes underage smoking. Tobacco supporters are furious with the recent reclassification of nicotine as an addictive substance. Even though we're in the heart of tobaccoland, should we really be upset with the changes in store? Support the enviroment in '96 Having trouble finding an issue that you feel is important in election '96? If so, the reason is this year has been full of smoke screen politics, cloUded issues and orchestrated con- ventions. Unfortunately, very little attention is being given to the envi- ronment when, ironically, so much is at stake. If the republicans gain con- trol of the White r.ouse, they will start an all out war on the environment starting with: oil drilling in the Arc- tic National Refuge, development of Utah's wilderness, weakening the Endangered Species Act and the Enviromental Protection Agency (plans that failed in the 104th Con- gress). Sound crazy? Well, if elected, Bob Dole, who incidentally, was given the rating of zero by the League of Conservation Voters, will help rewrite 25 years of promising environmental policy so that he can help his wealthy friends from big business and ndus- Matt Downs Opinion Columnist try profit from weaker EPA regula- tions. Friends, who have provided lit- erally millions of dollars to the Repub- lican party and would expect a little in return. Thus far. Bob Dole and his fel- low Republicans have already tried to repeal key provisions to the Clean Air Act and have successfully attached a clause into the budget reform bill that has ultimately led to the destruction of many of our old growth forests and dozens of ecosystems where timber harvesting was previously restricted. Not suprising from a man who sums up his environmental devotion by re- porting that if elected he would "have common-sense environmental policies not policies that put thousands and thousands of people out of work Loggers must really love this guy! Fortunately, Bill Clinton offers more favorable environmental policies than his opposition. Clinton, who has fought hard against the Republicans' "war on the environment" has pro- claimed that "when it comes to pro- tecting the environment, we can't turn back Don't help the Republicans destroy 25 years of vital environmen- tal policy. Vote Bill Clinton.

What I hear over and over again, just like a broken record is this char- acter issue. Well, I'd like to throw a new album on the turntable; how about the lack of character exhibited by Bob Dole? First Bill Clinton is being unfairly attacked for the drug problems we have today. It's true that youth drug use has skyrocketed, but can we re- ally blame the president? Clinton has increased funding for drug prevention and rehabilitation, so to blame Clinton for this is like blaming Governor Hunt for those darn potholes on U.S. 264. He is doing everything humanly pos- sible to counteract this trend, but Bob Dole still has the g to use this is- sue as a political football. Well, Mr. Dole, watch out for the fumble. Dole is also shamelessly attack- ing the Clinton White House for be- ing a house of drug abuse horrors. Besides the fact that these ridiculous allegations have no evidence or sub- stance behind them, it's outrageous for him to talk about drug abuse. As the Senate Republican leader in 1992, Dole defended a republican nominee to the Treasury that had used cocaine as well as marijuana. All you smok- ers know that Bob Dole is sympathetic to your cause (he equated smoking with drinking milk), but now. cocaine junkies and crack users can take so- lace in knowing that Senator Dole stands behind you. My point is, if you Larry Freeman Opinion Columnist Dob is ah shamelessly attcrckfog the ClintonWhite Housi for being a house of drug abase horrors. are going to defend coke users, then don't engage in cheap political drug attacks on a White House that has spent billions of dollars in trying to end this problem. Secondly, let's talk about this supply-side economic crap that Mr. Dole is trying to pass off on us like Grandmother's fruitcake. What am I talking about? Well, Mr. Dole wants a tax cut to the tune of over $500 billion. Sounds great, but how can anyone with the IQ of a salad bar (or hopefully higher) actually buy that he can simultaneously balance the bud- get, cut over half a trillion dollars in taxes, and not cut social security and medicare. 1 got news for you, Bob. There is no way in hell your program could be paid for, not even with the most liberal estimates of economic growth. 1 know my Economics pro- fessors are probably losing it right about now, but the god-awful disas- ter that Ronald Reagan created is in danger of coming back again. Yes, things were good in the 80's, but that was because his policies of short-term gains really screwed up our country in the long run For one thing, under Reagan's tutelage, we had the largest disparity of income in our history. Am I biased? Probably, but conservative author Kevin Phillips and former Reagan budget director David Stockman aren't, and they agree with my general premise: That Reaganomics was an unfortunate sham. Listen, I know President Clinton has his problems, but all these things that are being thrown against him (Whitewater, the FBI files, etc) are unsubstantiated, unproven and likely untrue. There isn't one scintilla of evi- dence that directly implicates the Presi- dent or the First Lady in Whitewater. Don't forget that Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones were paid by the Republi- can party to come forward with their stories. I think that most of us can see through all the fog and the mist and come to a basic conclusion: Like any- one, President Clinton isn't perfect but he isn't the monster the Republicans want you to think he is. It is my hope that you all decide your candidate on the issues, and not some crap in the Enquirer. Since President Clinton de- livered on his promises to reform wel- fare, to give us more jobs (10 million more), to cut the deficit in half, and to not let the Republicans touch student loans, I know whe I'm voting for.

Twister Those of you who didn't want to fork out cash to see Twister, one of this summer's biggest cinematic blockbusters, will get one last chance to see this roller-coaster film on the big screen, and it wont cost you one red cent Hendrix Theatre, ECU's premier movie theater, will have free showings of Twister Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m making this the best movie deal around. While a film centering on a couple of love-torn tornado chasers may result in a lame script with cliched characters, it also results in some breathless action sequences filled with state-of-the-art special ef- fects. Director Jan DeBont who managed to make Keanu Reeves some- what exciting in Speed, makes the most of his special effects team and creates an intensely fun brain-candy film that must be seen on the big screen. Trust me, Twister will not be nearly as impressive once it's released on video. Fans of the hit TV show Mad About You will get an extra joyful kick watching Helen Hunt (who gives the film's most likable perfor- mance) face down one killer tornado after another. So, if you have any desire to give Twister a chance, hop on down to Mendenhall Student Center sometime between Thursday and Satur- day. Twister should prove to be a great film to watch with a theater full of rowdy Pirates. gZ TRevtecoa Starting at 4 p.m Skeeter Brandon & Highway 61 will be playing all your favorite blues and R&B tunes during the F.A.N.

Rah. Rah. Please God, no. After tomorrow, hopefully, "pep rally" will deliver more pleas- ant images. The newly created F.A.N. (Fri- day All-Nighter) Club will make its premiere at Mendenhall Student Center beginning at 4 p.m. with per- formances by two blues-based bands: the Wicked Mojo Brothers, and Skeeter Brandon and Highway 61. A pep rally, featuring the ECU Cheerleaders, the Purple and Gold dancers, and the Pirate mascot, will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Following the pep rally, the film Twister will premiere at Hendrix Theatre. From 10 p.m. until the student center closes, free billiards, table tennis and bowling will be available. The F.A.N. Club, sponsored by the ECU Student Union Popular Entertainment Committee, will be held for each home football game excluding homecoming. J. Marshall, assistant director of student activities, said the idea for the FAN Club was developed by Angela Bouman of the recreational services department. Marshall, and others involved with Mendenhall and University Unions, were looking for a way to sponsor a pre-game event at the stu- dent center. They were excited by Bouman's proposal. "The F.A.N. Club seemed like an opportunity for us to help pro- mote Mendenhall Student Center Marshall said. "We want to bring more students and traffic in Men- denhall Over the summer, the concept of the F.A.N. Club expanded, Marshall explained. The Athletic Department and Pirate Club, as well as the Student Pirate Club, were contacted to see if they would lend their support to the idea. "We decided to hold it the night before the game to get as many people as possible to attend this thing he added. Marshall said other state schools such as N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill already have pep rallies. He also realizes that some people perceive pep rallies to be See FAN page 7 Frog Legs It's the perfect name for thif band. They're skinny, ugly, and make me turn green. Their mu- sic is humorous, yet silly, and that's the problem. It's too sarcastic. The band really doesn't seem to give a damn, and it makes me wonder whether to love them or hate them. Unfortunately for them, this is not love at first sight. The band seems too childish. Listening to their album, Midnight Radio, is like hearing a five- year-old jam out a Phish tune. It just doesn't work. The disc starts out with people making the most ungodly noises I've ever heard. How can you get into a groove where there are people cluck- ing like chickens? And there's net too much to say about the originality of each of the songs on the album, either. You could say that all of them are different; how- ever, they all seem to have one thing in common - they all sound like ass! There are some positive things about the band, however. Wrenn Mag- num, the lead vocalist, has a good vocal range that streaks from Presley to Prince. If he were in a serious band, people would see him for the singer that he is. Other band mem- bers include Morgan Huff (drums). Tom IUmensee (electric and classical guitar), and Turtle (bass). How cute. Let's all get together and come up with pet names, why don't we? But let's not butter things up. The band isn't exactly an emotion- ally honest band. Frog Legs try too hard to be comical on the album. It will definitely make you laugh; the problem is whether or not it's inten- tional. This band is basically the Jay Myers Lifestyle Editor When Ween wants to be weird, they can be weird. In fact, they're almost the definition of the word. They've done songs about spinal meningitis, spaghetti western themes, and happy tunes about little daisies. It's even rumored that they are the angry young guys behind the pseudo-metallic punk rap out- fit, the Moistboys. So if Ween wants to dc something different musically, where do they go? ( Nashville. That's right, for their newest al- bum, 12 Golden Country Greats, the Ween brothers, Gene and Dean, de- scended on the capitol of country music for inspiration and motiva- tion. Not only have they employed such notable Nashville session mu- sicians as Pete Wade (guitar, dobro, 6-string bass), Russ Hicks (pedal steel), and Charlie McCoy (bass, har- monica, percussion, vibes, organ, trumpet, tenor banjo, tuba) to help them capture that certain twang for this release, they also roped in the quintessential country vocal group, The Jordanaires, as back-up singers. This sounds like the makings of a phenomenal cowpoke album, doesn't it? Well, it is and it isn't. Ween just ain't normal, folks. From the outset, it's easy to tell that some- thing just isn't right. For one thing, 12 Golden Country Greats only con- tains ten tracks. Song titles are also a dead giveaway, since they run the gamut from the strikingly normal "I'm Holding You" and "Pretty Girl" to the hilariously strange 'Help Me Scrape the Mucus Off My Brain" and Student Health Service: You've Sot questions; We've got answers! See FROG page 7 See WEEN page 8 Jennifer Phillips Student Health Service When students come to col- lege, they often find themselves responsible for things which were previously of little concern. Health care is a common ex- ample. College students sud- denly find themselves asking questions about where to go when feeling sick, experiencing injury, or for other medical needs. This column is designed to address some common ques- tions concerning the ECU Stu- dent Health Service (SHS). Question: I've heard all sorts of stories about the qual- ity of care at the SHS. Do stu- dents find the care there satis- factory? Answer: Yes, ECU students are generally satisfied with the quality of care received from the SHS. In a recent survey, ECU students were asked "What was your overall degree of satisfac- tion with your recent SHS visit?" Most students reported either "good" (46 percent) or "excel- lent" (44 percent) in reference to the quality of care received. It is interesting to note that SHS conducts an ongoing quality as- surance survey. Phone inter- views are completed to assess, monitor and continually improve the services offered to students. Students are also strongly en- couraged to complete comment cards that are available at SHS. Question: If 1 am sick and 1 decide to come to the SHS, will I have to pay to see a health care provider? Answer: Currently en- rolled ECU students will not be charged for an office visit to see a health care provider at the SHS. A stu- dent health fee is part of the tuition bill which covers m the costs to see health care provid- ers at the SHS for the semester. For ser- vices such as gynecologi- cal exams, medications, x- � ray, lab and others, there are small fees. As part of the educa- tional process, it is important that students become health care con- sumers and compare prices between the SHS and other offices and clin- ics. Paying a lesser amount for medi- cal services does not mean the stu- dent is receiving less quality of care. Question: I am a female student. Why is it when I come to the SHS for a sore throat, they ask me if I am pregnant? Answer: This question may frus- trate students, particularly if a stu- dent feels assumptions are being made about their personal sexual be- havior. Asking female patients if they are pregnant is a standard medi- cal question that health care provid- ers must ask. Pregnancy is a medi- cal condition that affects treatment options and care, particularly any medications that might be pre- scribed. The intended purpose of this question is for medical reasons, not to judge a student's sexual be- havior. n u Question: What are the qualifications of the medical staff at the SHS? Answer: The members of the medical staff come from di- verse backgrounds and educa- tion. SHS currently employs physicians, psychologists, family nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, registered pharmacists, certified lab and x-ray staff. Question: What if I am sick on the weekends? Where should I go? Answer: Many ECU stu- dents are not aware of the fact that the SHS is open both Sat- urday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until noon. Hours of operation Monday through Friday are from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Question: What other ser- vices does the SHS offer? Answer: SHS offers a wide See HEALTH page 8 L WR IMMMMHMItMW � ���.� � � -�vfm - �� The East Carolinian Thursday, September 5, 1996 PIRATE. �jaaua PIRATE Be in. your $eat at Halftime shaken, not stirred to catch Special �gent VeeVee's FAN from page 6 "corny" or "outdated He is opti- mistic, however, that the F.A.N. Club will go over well. Marshall said he has been par- ticularly impressed with the atti- tudes of ECU alumni. "I have never seen the level of pride at other campuses that 1 have seen on this campus he said. "I hope the students will pick up on some of these things Overall, Marshall explained, there are three goals of the F.A.N. Club. "We want to get people to know what kinds of programs Mendenhall has to offer he said. "Second, we want to make the student center the focal point of the campus: if they want to find out what's going on on- campus, this is the place to be. "We also want to work with the athletic department to develop a strong foundation for supporting the athletic teams and. specifically, football Marshall said he is excited by the musical groups slated to perform as part of the F.A.N. Club. The bands, he said, are all similar to the types of bands that would play down- town. Skeeter Brandon and Highway 61, based out of Chapel Hill, are this week's featured performer. The band plays both covers and original blues and R&B. Brandon is a former gospel singer and keyboardist with Clarence Carter.

They can't get no respect, but they don't really deserve any. The problem with comical bands is that they fizzle out very quickly. Sure it's amusing for a while, but how funny is the same stand-up act day after day? It falls into the "same song and dance" foutine. When people hear some- llliBililllimt? i thing they like, they want to hear it again.

I'll tell you what I really want to talk about - you the ECU fan. As you know, ECU'S first home football game is Saturday in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium beginning at 4 p.m. 1 know all of you are going to make it to the game and stay throughout the entire game. Right? Of course. Fan support is vita! to any football program and it is the fans that even helped bring about the new confer- ence affiliation. Whether you know it or not. the fans play a huge role in a school's football program. 1 said it last year and I'll say it again - stay for the entire game. A typical foot- ball game only lasts a few hours and the is the least you can do is stay from start to finish. It doesn't matter if we are winning by 20 points or losing by 20 points. Either way. the fans should be there to show their support. The football team and coaches are out at practice everyday for hours and all you have to do is take time out on a Saturday afternoon to show them that you sup- port the hard work they have put into practice. Football games are the best part about the fall. You tailgate before the game and then head to your seats to watch your Pirates from start to finish. Now 1 know some of you are saying. "Well, Amanda, sometimes it rains and we don't want to get wet All right 1 understand. But before a game you can watch the weather forecast and if there is even a remote chance of rain, take a pon- cho. But no umbrellas, they don't allow them inside the stadium. Ponchos are inexpen- sive and they keep the wa- ter off of you. The players and coaches still have to be out there and they all can't wear ponchos. I think it's sort of fun to watch a game in the rain, it adds to the excitement. The football game gets more challenging for both sides and that is n fan support is needed most.

I want to thank them The determination of all in- volved helped to bring Conference USA to Greenville. "If you have perseverance, it is the grandest quality and that is the quality that is here at East Caro- lina University Logan said. "I am so humbled and gratified to be a part of this happening today be- cause I am starting my eighth year here and I've seen incredible changes in eight years and I sus- pect in the next eight that there could be even more wonderful things to happen What this means for ECU, is the opportunity to play for a con- ference championship. That is something ECU has not been able to do since 1976, when they were affiliated with the Southern Con- ference. Since then, ECU has been an independent team in Division I play. "We're going to make this a good conference, we're going to make it a great conference Hamrick said. "We're going to do everything we can every year to win this conference The national exposure ECU will receive will increase when they play next season, since Conference USA's games are televised on na- tional television. Just last week two Conference USA teams played on national television and won, iden- tifying the conference as a competi- tor who can hang tough with any team.

Anyone that has followed EQJ football knows that these confer ence talks have been taking place for some time now. One factor that helped to finalize the talks was the support of the fans. If the Pirates j didn't have the fan following thj; have had to away games, especially the two Liberty Bowl games, thin j this might not have been made pos- j sible. "The fans have played such an 1 incredibly important role in the de-1 velopment of this program and the emergence of this program as a na tionally competitive football team Slive said. Eakin agrees. "I would really make a huge- mistake today, if I didn't pay trib ute to the fans that fill that stadium week after week � who travel with � us week after week Eakin said. "Those who have stood by us through the times when 3-8 sea-( sons didn't seem as if they would 1 ever go away That is also the sentiment ex pressed by Hamrick who pays hom-t age to the fans. "I can stand here before youj today and tell you this would have! not happened without the East) Carolina fans Hamrick said. "The! commissioner and I met for about! six hours in Memphis and if we had only had about two or three thou sand Pirate fans this past year for; that Liberty Bowl, that meeting; probably would have lasted about an hour I ECU will join the conference as! a football member only. AH the other varsity sports at ECU are af; filiated with the Colonial Athletic; Association, and Slive does not anticipate ECU's other varsity, sports joining Conference USA. ! "We have had no discussions) and I certainly don't anticipate any Slive said. When play begins next season ECU will match up against Cincin; nati, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Southern Miss and Tulane. The win; ner of the conference championship will earn an automatic berth to the Liberty Bowl. But that is nothing new for the Pirates who have trav- eled to Memphis the past two years to compete - losing in 1994 to Illi nois and winning last season against Stanford. As far as Conference USA ex- tending to more teams, Slive said it is possible but will not happen anytime soon. "We're now seven with the ad- dition of East Carolina and I can assure you that expansion will con- tinue over the next several year$ and my hope is that we will not limit ourselves to seven Slive said. ! So now, ECU can breathe a little easier with its new affiliation. It's what officials have been work- ing for and now the hard work has paid off. Conference USA will help to boost our football to the top. j "The Pirates have established themselves as a Top 25 contender and the best is yet to come and that best of what is yet to come is going to come with Conference USA.t Slive said. "If anyone has any doubts just look at their bowl records, look at who they play and look at last year's win in the Lib- erty Bowl over Stanford http:www.zds.com education@zds.com Things Really Move In the Classifieds! i 1 Advertise with us in T.he East Carolinian. soon 12 Thursday, September 5,1996 The East Carolinian RINGGOLD TOWERS Now Taking Leases for 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom & Efficiency Apartments.

ECU ready for spotlight lPwyaa4t6cifon& Brandon Waddell � Editor-in-Chief Celeste Wilson � Production Manager Amanda Ross � Co-Editor Brian Paiz � Co-Editor Andy Farkas � Staff Illustrator ETSU gives Pirates its first challenge Brian Paiz End Zone Co-Editor Don't tell ECU Head Football Coach Steve Logan that Saturday's matchup with East Tennessee State is just a season warm-up. After all, his team knows not to ever overlook anyone. The Pirates have been in ETSU's shoes before: the underdog team trying to knock off the bigger opponent. Saturday's 4 p.m. kickoff at Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium is sort of a David vs. Goliath matchup. ECU is the Buccaneer's only Division I opponent on their 1996 schedule, and ETSU would just love to come into Green- viHe and leave with a major upset. ECU players have been forewarned that they better be ready to play on Saturday. "ETSU is just another team that we are trying to get past sophomore nose guard Travis Darden said. "Until you men- tioned it, I had forgot that they were a Division l-AA team. We are trying to win one game at a time ECU is also ready to face someone else other than their teammates. Senior free safety David Hart can't wait until Saturday. "We've been ready for the past two weeks, and we just can't wait to get out there on Saturday and play the game Hart said. ETSU got their season kicked off last Thursday as the Buccaneers defeated Lib- erty 24-20 in Johnson City. A key player in that game was senior quarterback Greg Ryan. Ryan connected on 22 of 34 passes for 229 yds and a touchdown. Ryan has broken every major passing record at ETSU, including passing yards with 6,010. Ryan's favorite targets seem to be sophomore wide receiver Marcus Satterfield, and junior B J. .Adigun. Satterfield caught seven passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns against Liberty. Satterfield and Ryan know each other very well. The two have been playing football together since they were both members of the midget league football programs in Greenback, Tenn. Adigun, a pre-season All- Southern Conference cl.oicc, had seven catches for 96 yards against Liberty. On defense, ETSU is led by senior defensive end James Russell. Russell was named pre-season All-Americar by the Sporting News. The St. Augustine, Fla. Native holds the Buccaneers career records for tackles for a loss with 47 and sacks with 22.5. A major concern for ECU going into the season opener was who would fill the void on defense left when Dwight Henry was lost for the season at right cornerback with an ACL injury to his knee. His re- placement looks to be red-shirt freshmen Forrest Foster. The Clemson, S.C. native had been battling junior Tabari Wallace for the job. Elsewhere on defense, junior Matt Semenza has earned a start at outside linebacker. Semenza will be sharing time with senior B.J. Crane. On offense, the only question going into Saturday's game is how would the running game respond with the loss of Jerris McPhaii. McPhail rushed for 943 yards last season and is now showcasing his talents on Sundays as a member of the Miami Dolphins. Coach Logan and his staff gave the nod to sophomore Scott Harley. Harley is no stranger to the ECU offense. Last sea- son, the Neptune, N.J. native filled in for an injured McPhail in the Temple game and rushed for 175 yards, an ECU fresh- man record. Quarterback Marcus Crandell will be starting his final season in Green- ville, and Crandell, who has broken almost every major passing record at ECU, has a lot of respect for this Buccaneer defense. "Their secondary is tough Crandell said. "They play soft coverage, and they mix it up a lot Look for the Pirates not to underesti- mate the Buccaneers on Saturday. ECU knows that they are still trying to gain national respect, and a let down on Sat- urday would be a major blow to a team that is trying to prove something each and every football game. If the Pirates need any incentive on Saturday, they need just to look back to 1987 when an ETSU team came to the state of North Carolina and clobbered NC State 29-14.

ETSU FjM 1 mnrrf Suite University Saturday September J� 199C 4 ii.iii- Thursday, Sqptember 5,1)996 The End Zone Final season for Crandell Amanda Ross End Zone Co-Editor tit, He has been praised as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. ESPN's Lee Corso dubbed him his "Superpick Quarterback" for the year. Who is he? You know exactly who he is. Marcus Crandell. Going into this season, Crandell knows that the expectations are high for the defending Liberty Bowl champs. "This year there is a lot more anxiety that has been built up from last year's season Crandell said. "We want to have a better outcome as far as the record is concerned A better outcome for the players would be to go undefeated. A light home schedule should provide easy wins at Dcwdy-Fkklen Stadium, while a tough road schedule could give the Pirates some trouble. "Games that we are for sure that we can win, we have to make those wins as good as possible, and try to prepare for the next game Crandell said. Crandell, who has surpassed two of Jeff Blake's records (the Cincinnati Bengal's starting QB) with 5,463 career passing yards and 6,026 yards for total offense needs just two more TD's to also go ahead of Blake's career TD passes. But as this first team QB for the 1995 All-Independent team knows, records can be a huge motivation in a performance. However, Crandell admits that once he hits the field, those records are the furthest thing from his mind. "It doesn't enter my mindCrandell said. "It's a motivating factor but I don't think about it and when I broke records last year I didn't even know that I had broken them until after the came when people told me Because of the strong performances Crandell has displayed the past two sea- sons, he has been recognized as one of the top quarterbacks in the country. For example, in Football News he was listed as one of five players nationally in a group labeled "Players Worth price of Admis- sion In other publications, Crandell h� been recognized as one of the elite in the QB position, but he still thinks he has to show how good he really is. "In the eyes of some people they don't see me as that good and I still have something to prove This ECU team which is typically a passing team will have to look to run the ball more this season, and Crandell real- izes that a lot of the ground yardage will depend on him just as much as it will on his running backs. "We have to establish a running game regardless, whether it be 90 percent pass- ing and 10 percent running or 50-50 Crandell said. "We have to establish a run- ning game to keep our passing game up As with every player, obstacles are met - and usually overcome. Crandell said he didn't have just one hurdle to jump over; he had two. "When I first jjot here, being a redshirt freshman and having to be thrown into a system that is so hard to learn and get it down pat to where I have it right now Crandell said. The second came just six quarters into his career, in 1993, when a Central Florida player took a cheap shot that resulted in Crandell suffering a broken leg. "I wondered if I would get back to 100 percent, where I was going to be able ' to play again Much of the talk surrounding ECU football has been the lack of respect from the pollsters. The discrepancy In ratings with different polls showed that really nobody took a close look at the incred- ible season the Pirates produced. The AP Poll, which is regarded as football's most prestigious poll, ranked the � Pirates only 26th. That's right. They were ,the only 9-3 team with a bowl victory not to make it into the top 25. It's a ghost ���'� i. File Photo Crandell will finish this season as ECU'S all-time leader in career passing yardage, career offense and career touchdown passes. that the players are playing against, but it's not something that is the most impor- tant thing going into this season. "I worry, but I don't worry about it, because I know in my mind and my heart, and I think I speak for a lot of guys on the team that we're better than a lot of the teams they picked before us Crandell said. "All we have to do is just keep striv- ing for the achievement and set our levels of standard a little higher than last year So what's next for Crandell after the season? The answer is obvious, the pros. But he isn't looking too far down the road just yet. He knows he must concen- trate on leading his team to victory and focusing on his final season with the Pi- rates. "I hope to keep pursing a football career Crandell said.

In a short passing game like ECU'S, a strong tight end mtist accompany speedy wide outs in order to be successful. None better to fill this spot than senior tight end Scott Richards. With a short passing game, a great number of patterns are in the middle of the defensive secondary, and a big tar- get is needed to complete some passes in a sea of linebackers. Richards, at S'5" 260 pounds, is one of the bigger tight ends in division one football, and has become a huge threat in Logan's offense in the past two seasons. "We are very comfortable with our tight end situation with Scott Richards Logan said. "I feel we have one of the most underrated tight ends in the coun- try. He might be underrated, but his stats are not. Last season, the rumbling tight end gathered 33 passes for 341, yards which placed him fourth among Pirate receivers. "I've worked hard to improve the past two years, and I look forward to improving again this season Richards said. Richards impressed coaches and fans alike the past two campaigns starting in every game lest season, including the southern Miss contest where he caught four passes for 62 yards and two touch- downs in the victory over the Golden Eagles. Now when you talk to Pirate fans about Richards, the first thing out of their mouths is reliable. From his 93-yard gutsy performance at the Carrier Dome at Syra- cuse to being the leading receiver in the Liberty Bowl victory, when the Pirates needed a big reception big number 90 would some how show up on the play. Richards, recruited out of high school as a quarterback, has a valuable ability of reading defenses as well as being able to anticipate QB Marcus Crandell's next move. "I'm a former quarterback, so read- ing defenses is something I've been able to do Richards said. "Also, it helps me understand what Marc wants me to do and where he wants me to be on certain plays Richards has proven to be versatile and reliable as a receiving tight end, blocking tight end, or even a blocking full back in short yardage situations. "What ever it takes to win, I'm will- ing to do my part to help the team out in anyway I can Richards said. Being a team player, the biggest as- piration for Richards this season is to earn the respect of poll voters who shunned the Bucs last seasons. "Last year was great, but it's over Richards said. "We've gotten to the bowl, we've won a bowl, now we've need to bring the program to another level and be recognized as a national class pro- gram It's old news to Pirate fans when it comes to being shunned by the Associ- ated Press poll, but last season hurt a touch more after winning nine games as weil as snagging the Liberty Bowl title from Stanford in the Bucs' second straight appearance in Memphis. "For them to rank us 26 was disap- pointing, especially to me, because we knew after all the hard work we deserved a better ranking than 26 Richards said. "This year it's our goal to do like coach (Logan) says and just win the next game, prove that East Carolina football deserves to be in the top twenty five The drive for the top twenty five will no doubt be steered by many, including Richards. This quest will begin next week at home for the Pirates, much to the avail of Richards, a senior majoring in Indus- trial Technology. "It's a big boost for me as well as the team to start out the season at home, seeing that the past two years we've started out on the road Richards said. With an excit- ing senior season ahead, September 7 won't get here soon enough for Richards. "I'm ready to try to get my senior season started and get to work Richards said. "Practice has been going well, but it gets old seeing the same faces across the line from you, day in and day out. So, a lot of frustra- tion will be let out on Saturday against ETSU. We're just ready to play Nl Photo Courtesy of ECU SID Richards is no stranger to the tight end position Last season he caught 33 passes for 341 yds. IN �TATE RESIDENCY QUESTIONS? Peter IM.

As a freshman writer for The East Caro- linian back in 1993,1 had a chance to interview Lamont for the first time. I have seen Lamont not only mature as a player, but also as a person. Lamont Bums has definitely had his ups and downs as a Pirate. Bums was recruitc1 by former ECU head coach Bill Lewis in 1992 out of Page High School in Greensboro. As a high school senior he recorded 55 tack- les, and recovered seven fumbles. Although ECU had a coaching change, Bums still de- cided that ECU was the place for him to continue his football career. The times have been rocky at some points, but Bums said he has never regretted his choice to come to Greenville. "I would not chanqe any decisions that I have made at ECU Burns said. "The things that have happened to me here has made me a stronger person today After red-shirting in 1992, and receiv- ing the Outstanding Defensive Scout Team Award, Burns played in all 11 games at de- fensive end during the dismal 2-9 season in 1993. However, things changed in the spring of 1994. The coaching staff decided to move Bums to tight end, a position he really never got comfortable with. When fall drills began in 1994, Burns moved to offensive guard where he saw limited time in four games. Then there came 1995. Bums started to improve at offensive guard and by season's start, had earned himself a starting posi- tion at offensive guard, and by season's end was named the most improved offensive player He also had a Liberty Bowl champi- onship to add to his career achievements. Through all the position changes, and the difficulties he went through, Bums cred- its Coach Steve Logan for helping him through the situation. "Coach Logan has always been real to me Bums said. "I wasn't performing up to his potential on defense, so he made a change. Every position change I made, Coach Logan was very supportive The next step for Burns could be pro football, and he is receiving national atten- tion. Several college football magazines have listed him as a top offensive linemen, but Bums knows that if pro football doesn't work out he is ready for his future. "It's just time to wait and see what hap- pens Bums said, who has already gradu- ated with a BA degree in Communications, "i have already graduated, so I am ready for anything One thing Burns is ready for is the '96 season. Bums and the Pirates still feel that they are not getting the national respect that they should, and the Associated Press Poll Last season added salt to the wound. The AP poll snubbed ECU out of the top 25, by placing them at number 26. "It bothered a lot of people Burns said. "We think we deserved to be in the top 25 ECU opens this Saturday against East Tennessee State, a team that some people think the Pirates might overlook. But Bums and his fellow teammates know better. "At first I was worried that we might overlook them Bums said. "But we have a lot of seniors on this team and we know that people have overlooked us before, and were not going to let that happen on Satur- day One thing he is proud of is the fact that he has been part of a program that has risen into the national spotlight in recent years. "I feel that I have been part of the piece of the puzzle to make ECU'S football program more visible on the national scene The final regular season piece to his puzzle will end on November 30 in Char- lotte against the N.C. State Wolfpack, a team that Pirate fans have been waiting to see ECU play for a long time. "I came in after the Peach Bowl game, and everybody has been waiting for this one for a long time since Burns said. "It's going to be a bam burner Burns however will take one game at a time. "This is my last go around. I want to play every game to it's fullest Photo Courtesy of ECU SID After earning a starting position at offensive guard, Burns was last season's most improved offesive player on the team.
