ECU welcomes Conference USA
ECU football
enters new era,
new conference
Amanda Ross
Sports Editor
The wait is over, now it's time for
a celebration
After months of talks and plan-
ning, Conference USA Commis-
sioner Michael Slive, officially told
the media that ECU's football pro-
dram u now a mpmher of Confer-
ence USA .
"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.

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

degree programs

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

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.

Computer misuse on rise
Associate Dean
reminds students
of proper conduct
Jacqueline D. 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.

Susanne S. 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.

The police presence around
Dowdy-Ficklen has always been ap-

are also gearing up for Saturday's
game. "It's number of officers ba-
sically the same as last year
Teressa Crocker, ECU police chief

"There is a zero tolerance for
alcohol inside the stadium. Those

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-

ECU I.D. when showing their stu-
dent tickets at the gate. Gates 5 and

new relationship. 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.

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.

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.

much by great pieces of good

Dole sells his soul
In this rosiest of election years
for the Democrats, the Radical Right
is frantically trying to indict President
Clinton in the court of public opin-
ion. 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

Dob is ah

Housi for being

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. Do
you?

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.

Do the words "pep rally in-
spire memories of chewing-gum-
stained bleachers, cheesy cheers,
and testosterone-spewing motiva-
tional speeches from sweaty high-
school principals?
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

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

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

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

"corny" or "outdated He is opti-

will go over well.

tudes of ECU alumni.

there are three goals of the F.A.N.

"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. Critics describe his voice as
a "soulful roar The Charlotte Ob-
server said Brandon has the kind of
voice other performers "dream" of
having and would "pay money for
Other bands scheduled to per-
form as part of the F.A.N. Club: Sept.

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

into the "same song and dance"
foutine. When people hear some-

i
thing they like, they want to hear

down when they don't find the

Maybe they will like it the second
time they hear it. How- about the
third, though'
Midnight Radio is not a bad
title for the album. It probably has
something to do with the time
frame, since it's the only time of
day that you can hear them - when
you're asleep. Consider it a bless-
ing from your local radio stations
if they really play it at midnight.

pearing at the Underwater Cafe on

sex: SEX: sex:
Niiw that I have your at-
tention. 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'm no preacher, but
1 m preaching now. Stay for
tame - the entire game.

ing job that he has done Hamrick
said. "If we hadn't been to the Lib-
erty Bowl the last two years, I don't
know if we would be standing here
today. He has put our football pro-
gram on the map, we're nationally
recognized and the quality players
he has and quality staff he has. 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.

games on last week, Tulane and
Cincinnati, Memphis and Miami, ?
and I am absolutely amazed at the
exposure, recognition and the ac
knowledgment we have received as !
a result of that national exposure
Slive said.
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

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.

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

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. "I pray every night
that I will get to that point - it's a
dream

The End Zone
Thursday, September 5,1996
Richards proves versatile
Dill Dillard
End Zone Writer
In the complex offensive mind of
Steve Logan, his well oiled machine calis
for a strong receiving corps. 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

M there was ever anyone on the ECU
football team that symbolizes the word
player, it would be senior Lamont Bums.
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

After earning a starting position
at offensive guard, Burns was
last season's most improved
offesive player on the team.
