mtkm mjg THURSy September 19,1996 Vol 72, No. 09 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 16 pases Student fees pay SGA tuition Student officials get books, salary, tuition Amy L. Royster Assistant News Editor In accordance with a bill passed late in the spring semester by the Student Government Asso- ciation (SGA), a portion of ECU stu- dent fees paid the tuition and a book stipend for members of SGA's Executive Council for the first time this semester. The bill passed the SGA legisture on April 15, 1996 It was signed by the previous SGA Presi- dent, Ian Eastman, and previous legislative speaker Harry Bray. It approves funding for the payment of tuition, fees and books for the SGA Executive Council members as well as the payment of up to $200 for books for the SGA attorney gen- eral, public defender and legislative speaker. Current SGA President Angela Nix, Vice President Eric Rivenbark, Treasurer Jonathan Phillips and Secretary Julie Thompson com- prised the first Executive Council to receive in-state tuition under the bill. "I believe we are the highest leaders on campus and we deserve it Nix said. "We work really hard According to Nix, Eastman worked on the bill for two years. The bill, which first appeared before the Ap- propriations Committee, was voted upon by the SGA legisla- ture during the last session of the spring 1996 semester. According to Millie Murphy, SGA office assis- tant, there were no minutes kept for the meeting when this bill passed. She added it is not uncom- mon for there to be no minutes kept of the last meeting of the semes- ter. "It is important that people re- alize this was passed by last year's legislature Nix said. This year's Executive Council members held other positions in SGA at the time the bill passed but none of the four voted on this bill. Thompson, who was the chair of the Appropria- tions Committee said her duties turned into those of a day representative when the bill was discussed and voted on. Nix said she spends 40 hours a week fulfilling her responsibilities as SGA presi- dent. Phillips said he works 30 hours a week on the job. Rivenbark and Thompson each said they work between 15 and 20 hours per week. "Without this bill, you are put- ting restrictions on the type of stu- dent who can run for office Phillips said. "You can't do this job See SGA page 3 "I believe we are the highest leaders on campus and we deserve it � Angela Nix, SGA President "I can see how that would be controversiaL � Mark Nippert, student senate president at N.C. State University SGA Legislative Speaker ECU dorm room rates reasonable Susanne S. Oozier News Writer East Carolina University ranks fairly high among University of North Carolina institutions for rooms with and without air-condi- tioning. Among other UNC Institutions ECU ranks eighth for rooms with- out air-conditioning and ranks sixth for rooms with air-conditioning. For dorms without air-conditioning, the room rate is $1,660. The rate for air-conditioned dorms is $?,000. Compared to most other UNC Institutions East Carolina's rates have not increased within the past year. Although these rates may seem high for both air conditioned and non air-conditioned rooms, the average rate among the 12 UNC In- stitutions with air conditioned dorms is about $1,720.83. The av- erage rate of the 14 UNC Institu- tions with air conditioned dorms is $1,963.50. Ranking number one for room rates is UNC-Chapel Hill. The rate at UNC-CH for non-air-conditioned dorms is $1,990. This percentage increased three percent ($60) in the past year. At UNC-CH, over 50 ?er- University UNC-Chapel Hill N.C. State ECU cent of the dorms are air conditioned. "This time of year students really want air conditioning but after the fall and summer it is not nec- essary said Wayne Kuncl, UNC-CH direc- tor of housing. Mr. Koncl also said, "The cost of liv- ing is higher in Chapel Hill than in any other part of North Carolina. Liv- ing on campus is less expensive than living off campus At UNC-CH each semester, $9.25 of non-AC rates goes to Student Government fees. $50 of the se- mester rate goes to local telephone fees, which allow students local telephone ac- cess within the dorm rooms. UNC-CH ranks third for their non-air condi- tioned dorms. Ranking number 12 (last) in room rates is Western Carolina Uni- versity. For non-air-conditioned Comparison or room rates at UNC institutions Semi-private rooms only) Pembroke State Non-air-conditioned room $1,990 $1,850 $1,660 $1,410 Air-conditioned room $2,220 $2,420 $2,000 $1,546 When compared with other universities in the UNC system, ECU ranked eighth highest for the cost of non-air- conditioned dorms and sixth highest for dorm rooms with air conditioning. This chart reflects how ECU compares with schools with the most and least expensive rates in each category. Pitt needs increased AIDS awareness Scott Hopkins Staff Writer rooms, the rate is $1,350 a year, which increased two percent ($3) in the past year. WCU recently added air conditioning to one of their dorms. Per semester for their non- AC dorms, room rates are $675. For the air conditioned dorm per semes- ter it is $710. See DORM page 5 Career Day opens corporate doors Jacqueline D. Kellum Senior Writer The first major Career Day of the year will be held Tuesday in the General Classroom Building and will offer an opportunity for 'tudents to drop by and talk to prospective employers. While this particular event will focus on companies most likely to appeal to those interested in business careers, Career Services encourages everyone to attend for at least a few minutes. TEC talked to the director of Career Services, Dr. James R. Westmoreland, and two of the assistant directors, Debra Baker and Margie E. Swartout They say that this Career Day is only the beginning for students who are interested in exploring career options. "The companies that we encourage to come are the people who will be on campus recruiting throughout the year. We try to use this event as a kind of kick off activity to get people to realize that there are going to be companies coming to the campus Westmoreland said. Westmoreland urged students to know in advance what kind of companies will be in attendance that may interest them and what kind of questions they might what to ask. "Some questions that you might ask would be 'What will your hiring needs be a year from now, or two years?' or 'What kind of qualifications do you seek?' It takes people away from saying, 'What do you pay?' That's not a good impres- sion for students to make Westmoreland said. Whether students choose to make a point of talking to the representatives or not, they will definitely be aware of their presence in the General Classroom Building. Some students may even see these representatives in their classes. "A lot of these people will be speaking in classes that morning. They're in the hallways of the first and third floors throughout the morning. That's the perfect time for people to talk to them about whatever they want to know about the careers Westmoreland said. See CAREER page 4 The N.C. Children's AIDS Network (NC CAN) has reported that the need for pediatric AIDS care in the rural and urban areas in and around Greenville and Pitt county have become the "hot spot" for increases in HIVAIDS cases. In N.C. from 1981 to 1995 there had been 6420 reported cases of AIDS. Of these cases, 650 are children from infants to age 6. These numbers represent a small number of the state's population but they show a desperate need for care. "We want to bring the issue to the forefront said Mike Hartley, the state government involvement manager. "The pediatric age group is not being taken care of According to Hartley the leading cause of death among women ages 15 to 40 in Pitt county was AIDS. Thisepidemic is being spread to the children of NC. In order for NC. to battle this problem the Greenville Jaycees along with the NC Jaycees Mission Inn program are working to bring an HIVAIDS facility to the Greenville area in order to pro- vide the needed care. "The facilities' primary mission would be to provide pediatric care to children, as well as a resource center for education along with discussions, counseling and transportation for children in need of HIVAIDS care said Terence Taylor, Greenville JC's president The facility would serve the entire state as an epicenter of HIV AIDS care. "We picked Greenville because of the access to rural low in- come counties where we are seeing an increase in cases and be- cause of a need for better education Hartley said. The state presently uses seven to eight social workers who travel the state to provide care, counseling, and transportation for chil- dren and families who live with HIVAIDS. These services are provided through major grants by the Duke Endowment, the Hasbro Foundation. Grant money is always in danger of being cut off or running out. The Jaycees want to see the care continue. "We are very fortunate that the children that need this care are either still with their original parents or have been taken into foster homes Laura Leatherwood, the NC Jaycee Mission Inn pro- gram manager said. "We were glad to find out the need for residen- tial care was not as large of an issue as transportation, respite care and counseling According to NC CAN, there are no HIVAIDS children in NC in residential care. Most are still living with at least a biological parent or are in foster care. In 1995 the Mission Inn program was initiated with a HIV AIDS resident care facility located in St. Louis Missouri. This is presently the only active care facility in the US. "NC is the second largest fund-raiser for the program and is very proactive about HIVAIDS research and care Hartley said.

University employees not in danger of losing jobs Privitization holds no threat for ECU Jennifer Barnes Staff Writer Department of Energy seeks graduate students When UNC system schools were ordered to study the idea of privatizing university service jobs such as housekeeping, many workers began to worry. If this transaction did take place, it could put a numer- ous amount of people out of work. Not many workers were going to sit there and let something like that hap- pen without a fight Housekeepers and students at UNC-Chapel Hill gathered together in a rally against hiring private compa- nies. They stood on the steps of South Building, holding firmly to their rights. Hardy White, assistant direc- tor of housekeeping understood the concerns of the people. "The housekeepers had a rally to talk about privatization White said. "There they had a chance to voice their opinion about the issue Although many employees are bothered by the concept of losing their university employment, White is con- fident that they have nothing to worry about "The university is not consider- ing privatizing these jobs White said. "They are just being asked, by a higher authority, to study this idea As to the situation concerning the housekeepers at ECU, Facility Ser- vices Director D. Crae Clements re- assures concerned staff members that the stability of their position is not in jeopardy. "Richard Brown has sent memos to all the workers Clements said. "ECU has no intentions to do more than they have already done Regarding what ECU has already done, Clements noted that this is ECU's seventh year contracting, but that it was nothing that would affect anyone. "We do contract workers for jobs like bug service and elevator repair Clements said. "To my knowledge, contracting workers is only done when needed Clements said other UNC schools were studying this prospect and that it might be a source of good invest- ment Still, he said he is convinced that ECU had nothing to worry about "Privatizing could be a possible way to save money Clements said. "Still, no other schools can hold a candle to what ECU has done 2800 E. 10th St. Eastgate Shopping Center Across From Highway Patrol Behind Stain Glass Mon. -Fri. 9-6 Walk-ins Anytime 752-3318 ELTORO MB'sHairSty1lgSkow krbriStyk $7.00 Haircut Say PIRATES & Get Hair Cut for 17 Everytime MAP STtRE Radio I own jvvamO) V E Eastern NC'i Source for Maps & Charts � Atiasej�Gjgj&s Software Recreation, Business or Travel Needs? i We offer a great selection by the bestUSGS Topos & Aerials � NOSNOAAAero & Nautical Charts � Michelin Maps & Guides � Replogle Globes � Hammond Atlases � Rand McNally � DeLorme Computer Softwareand more 563 S.

"If I'm not in class, I a.n here (office) or in a meeting Nix said. All the SGA positions affected by the bill are also salaried posi- tions ranging from $400 per month for the president's salary to $150 per month for the public defender's salary. According to Dean of Students and SGA adviser Dr. Ron Speier, SGA appropriates $160,000 per year of student fees to various cam- pus organizations. Phillips said that approximately $7,800 per year of ECU student fees appropriated by SGA will fund the bill. Phillips also said ECU collects approximately $17 million in stu- dent fees each year. "It ($7,800) is minuscule when compared to the total collected Phillips said. Nix said there are benefits of the bill aside from compensating the Executive Committee.

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the SGA president and treasurer were paid a stipend for the first time this year. Aaron Nelson, SGA president at UNC-CH said their constitution re- quired the treasurer to be paid a stipend and up until this year, the sum paid was one dollar per year. "I received, for the first time, $200 per month this year Nelson said. "Chapel Hill is the anomaly; many other schools pay a salary to everyone Lacy Hawthorne, SGA secre- tary at UNC-CH, said that paying for tuition and stipends would not be beneficial to students at her school. "Stipends are students' way of saying 'You are working for me and I want to pay you for it not 'You are going to school for me Hawthorne said. At North Carolina State Univer- sity, SGA executive officials are compensated in the form of a sal- ary. According to Mark Nippert, the student senate president, N.C. State's president is paid $2,400 per year from student fees. There are four other salaried positions which decline in amount from the presi- dents yearly salary of $2,400. "To my knowledge, we have never considered paying for tu- ition Nippert said. "I can see how that would be controversial. The real measuring stick ought to be the total amount of compensation given, whether it's in the form of salary or tuition Phillips said other universities' student government association policies are difficult to compare to ECU'S. "The government approved the bill and it was almost a unanimous vote Phillips said. Arrangements -Accessories CREDIT CARDS � SPECIAL ORDERS �� Showtime! HOMECOMING .

The actual room rates among UNC institutions does not vary much. These institutions consider their rates reasonable and beneficial in cost and savings for the students. "We hope that people choose to attend ECU because of the educa- tional opportunities, not because of air conditioning or non-air-condi- tioning in the dorms said Manny Morow, director of housing for ECU. Out of the 15 dorms on ECU'S campus, nine are non-air-condi- tioned and six are air-conditioned. "Our goal now is to look at in- creasing the number of air-condi- tioned dorms at East Carolina said Mr. Morrow. According to a survey of off campus ECU students who once lived on-campus, air conditioning or non-air conditioning was not a fac- tor in their decision to iive off cam- pus. Most of their reasons for liv- ing off campus were to increase pri- vacy, try something new andor dif- ferent and to have more living space. Morow said, "Students love to live on campus. They say that it is a great place to live " According to surveys, students, and supervisors, students enjoy on campus living in UNC institutions because of their increased contact with other students. Also, students enjoy the convenient location of their dorms.

Isn't it ironic? "Something's rotten in the state of Denmark When Shakespeare first wrote those words, it is doubt- ful that he realized how often they would be used to describe wrongdoing in politics down through the cen- turies. Well, once again that phrase has relevance for the Student Government Association here at ECU. For those who may not know, the SGA has always had a checkered past. Last spring, controversy swelled over an alleged case of election-tampering. Despite pro- tests against the election, the results were upheld. Ian Eastman, the former president of the SGA, appar- ently had one last trick up his sleeve before he left last May. For the last SGA session, in a clandestine meeting for which there were no recorded minutes, Eastman pre- sented a bill that allowed the president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary to have their tuition paid for, as well as all of their textbooks. In addition, it allowed the SGA attorney general, the public defender and the legis- lative speaker to have their textbook fees covered. All of this was to be paid with student fees appropriated by the SGA. That's nearly $8,000 dollars per year, folks. Needless to say, the bill passed. Even if TEC had found out about this bill being passed at the time that it happened (which we didn't), we would not have been able to report on it until the summer because the spring semester's paper schedule was completed. And now that we are reporting on it, we have been inundated with call after call from parties con- nected to SGA who would rather we didn't cover this story. To put this in perspective, we could find no other school in the UNC system that offers this kind of com- pensation for their student governments. In fact, the schools that we contacted found this to be an unaccept- able course of action. In their defense, the SGA Executive Council has claimed that this bill is part of an equal opportunity employment agenda. Their logic is that if tuition and text- book costs are covered by student fees, then anyone can afford to become a member of the Executive Council. Our question is then, instead of paying for their tu- ition and books, why doesn't the university simply pay them a wage like any other job on campus? Oh, that's right, they do. On top of now getting their tuition and books paid for, the members of the Execu- tive Council also receive a paycheck from ECU that ranges anywhere from $150 to $400 per month. What a deal! Again, in their defense, the SGA Executive Council claims that, although they were members of the SGA when this bill was passed, none of them actually voted on it and therefore Eastman is to blame. Our response to that is to suggest that if the SGA feels so strongly about it that they want to blame some- one else, then perhaps they should reject the bill and put a stop to these questionable expenditures of student funds. �egg 'vF The East Carolinian BrMdor.

Election '96 Editor's note: Tho$� rW@ columns are the second in a i series of political it$u�$ columns that will run through November. TECs goal is to give the student body informatiolevant to th� upcoming elections. Today's topic is the environment. Larry Freeman Opinion Columnist This week, the environment is our issue. Me tell- ing you who to vote for based on environmental records will probably be the biggest waste of paper in history, but I will still tell you about the record and make your own informed choice. See, we bleeding- heart socialist liberal dogs aren't that bad after al Ladies and gentlemen, the Clinton-Gore adminis- tration is by far the best environmental administra- tion since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. You may af- fectionately call him a tree-hugger, but there has never been a man in the White House more committed to the environment than Al Gore and Bill Clinton's en- vironmental record speaks for itself. The Clinton-Gore administration has made the air we breathe truly clean by issuing tough standards in cutting toxic pollution from chemical plants by 90 percent. President Clinton has toughened EPA en- forcement, expanded the public's right-to-know about toxic releases and has required polluters to disclose information to the public. He has adamantly stood by the ban on offshore drilling, and has even committed $1.5 billion over 7 years to the Florida Everglades, one of the most beautiful environmental shrines on Earth. The administration has also cancelled 75 hazard- ous pesticides (quickly replacing them with safer al- ternatives). He changed the EPA rules and procedures toeduce paperwork requirements for businesses by 10 million hours. He even launched the Brownfields initiative, which gives businesses tax incentives to re- turn old industrial waste sites to productive use. Well, this column wouldn't be perfect without some Republican bashing, right? With all due respect, Mr. Clinton's opponent does for the environment what a Twinkie does for a diet. Folks, Bob Dole's environ- mental record is about as good as SPAM. Trust me, it ain't good! The man voted against increased funding for wa- ter treatment. He voted against a 1987 measure that would have given $18 billion through 1994 for pollu- tion prevention, cleanups, etc. Just last year, he wrote an extreme regulatory bill which would have poisoned our air, tainted our meat and much more. All at the whim of big business, which controls Bob Dole. In one bill, Dole tried to roll back decades of guaranteed protection for American consumers. The St. Louis Dispatch even stated Dole's bill "would have meant serious erosion of protection (72795) If that doesn't take the cake, had the original DoleGingrich budget been passed, safe drinking water funding would have been cut by 45 percent and toxic dumpenvironmental enforcement provisions by 25 percent. He even voted against the historic Clean Air Act way back in 1963. Meanwhile, President Clinton has cleaned up more waste dumps in three years than Reagan and Bush in 12. Fellow students, the only thing that has stood between this anti-environmental extremism and you is Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Bill Clinton stood behind the Superfund Law, which makes polluters, not tax- payers, pay to clean up toxic dumps (which the GOP wanted to cut by 25 percent). I thought that Republicans were bad enough when they tried to slash student loans in 1981 by $10 billion or when they recently tried to eliminate the Direct Student Loan program. 1 thought it was extremist enough for Bob Dole to be one of only 63 U.S. Representatives to vote against the creation of the student loan program back in 1965. No. It is the environment that truly shows the differ- ence between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. Go on with your bad self, Bill! Steve Higdon Opinion Columnist How the Democratic party has one shred of credibility left the in environmental debate escapes me. OK, you are probably thinking that there is no way that the Republican party can defend its environmental policy. Everyone knows that it is the Democratic party tV at is the green party in the United States. What can a group of hateful, stubborn, park-closing conservatives do for the environment? Well, if you share these sentiments, hold on because you are in for a major reality check. As usual, the party that has nothing to offer but fear itself would like us to over look the basic premise of conservatism, TRUTH! In reality, the Republican party has a very commendable environmental protection record. Did you realize that of the 14 prominent environmental protection acts passed in the 20th century eight of thetn were passed under Republican administrations? 4 Dwight Eisenhower's administration saw the Atom: Energy Act of 1954 enacted. It was Ronald Reagartjs administration under which the Nuclear Waste Policy A?t of 1982 was implemented. George Bush was in offiife when the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 became law. However, the Republican to be most commended Richard Nixon. Under the administration of Richard Nixon, America saw the organization of the Environmen- tal Protection Agency (EPA). It was also during this ad- ministration that the Endangered Species Act became law. As if these Republican achievements were not enough, the Nixon years also brought us the Safe Drink- ing Water Act, the Noise Control Act, a Marine Protec- tion Act and the National Environmental Policy Act I dare say that if Richard Nixon had been a Democrat, he would have been called "The Father of Modern Envi- ronmental Policy How the Democratic party has one shred of credibil- ity left in the environmental debate escapes me. With regards to American Policy, one instance stands out to me. To my knowledge, the only calculated, intentional, destruction of an environment on a large scale was un- der a Democratic President and a Democratic-controlled congress. President John F. Kennedy appointed Robert McNamara as his secretary of defense in 1961. The turn- coat, one-time Republican McNamara along with Kennedy, Johnson and the Democratic-controlled Congress gov- erned over a dirty little war called Vietnam. Along wif,h being the country's most unpopular war, it was also an environmental holocaust From 1962 tol970, 11.2 million of gallons of Agent Orange was sprayed over approximately 20 percent of the forests in South Vietnam. Agent Orange contained the chemical TCDD- Dixion, which was later proven to be 100,000 times more potent than Thaiidomide. What Agent Orange did was destroy enough food for 600,000 people and enough timber to supply Vietnam for 30 years. Throughout Vietnam, Democratic policy destroyed the environment and watered the once-fertile fields with the blood of 57,600 Americans and more than 943,000 Viet- namese. Once again it was the Republican party that was the voice of reason. In 1971, the Nixon administration halted the use of Agent Orange. Then in 1973, the same admin- istration ended our military involvement in the war in Vietnam. Throughout the '80s, we reaped the harvest of seeds sown by Kennedy and Johnson. Then this party dares to imply that Republicans do not care about the environment. It is pathetic, simply pathetic, and I hope the readers of this article will begin to see the truth be- hind the environmental debates of today. So when you cast your ballot in November, decide on your priorities. Do you want to support the party that has been a steward of the environment in the 20th cen- tury? For sound environmental policies, there is only one party: the Republican party.

Greenville, NC 27858 Striptease The most interesting thing about Striptease is not the fact that Demi Moore flashes her breasts on the big screen. No, in fact, Demi looks so bored and dispassionate in her role as down-and-out strip- per single mother Erin Grant that it becomes easier to forget she's in the movie than it is to root for her. And the whole plotline with the strippers at the Eager Beaver club isn't needed for the film to proceed, anyway (the strip routines are boring to boot). Even the fact that the plot is taken from a Carl Hiaasen pulp crime novel doesn't help, although it should considering how in- triguing and popular Hiaasen's novels are. Although Burt Reynolds turns in an eccentric performance (one of his best in years) as the white-haired, addle-brained Senator David Dilbeck and Robert Patrick (the T-1000 robot from Terminator 2) is equally good as Erin's bumbling, pill-addicted ex-husband, nei- ther of these actors is good enough to pull this movie out of medi- ocrity. Despite its flaws, however, there is one reason, and one reason alone, that makes Striptease worth seeing - Ving Rhames. Rhames is best known for his performances as Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction and Eriq LaSalle's brother-in-law, Walter, on NBC's ER. He also appeared in the Tom Cruise action blockbuster Mis- sion: Impossible. In Striptease, Rhames steals the show as the Eager Beaver's animal-loving, over-protective bouncer, Shad. Every scene Rhames appears in adds another level to the rich characterization of Shad, whose story is so funny and compelling that you end up wishing they had centered the film on him. Student Health now offers physical therapy Natalie Rocke Student Health Service a The active lifestyle lead by the majority of ECU students created a demand for a Physical Therapy Clinic at the Student Health Center. A large variety of academic coursework that ranges from dance to exercise and sports science, in addition to the large number of participants in Recreational Services, sug- gests just how active students are. There are a num- w ber of �di- verse ways in which active students can be- ? come injured. Stu- dent Health now offers services to aid the healing process necessary for recovery from such misfortunes. Starting Sept. 16, physical therapy will be available at the Stu- dent Health Center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. Patients requiring therapy must be referred to the clinic by either a private practice medical provider or one that works at the Student Health Center.

Chocolate may mimic marijuana, doctors say NEW YORK (AP) - Chocolate contains substances that might mimic the effects of marijuana, boosting the pleasure you get from eating the stuff, researchers say. The ingredients might make the texture, smell and flavor of choco- late more enjoyable and combine with other ingredients like caffeine to make a person feel good, researcher Daniele Piomelli speculated. "We are talking about something much, much, much, much milder than a high said Piomelli, a researcher at the Neurosciences Insti- tute of San Diego. He reported the work with colleagues in a recent issue of the journal Nature. But a researcher who studies the brain chemistry of marijuana said chocolate contains such low levels of the ingredients Piomelli identified that he doubts they have any effect, Christian Felder of the National Institute of Mental Health esti- mated that a 130-pound person would have to inject the equivalent of 25 pounds of chocolate in one sitting to get any marijuana-like effect. Piomelli found that chocolate contains anandamide, which is also produced naturally in the brain and which activates the same target that marijuana does. He also found two chocolate ingredients that inhibit the natural breakdown of anandamide, which could lead to heightened levels of anandamide in the brain. Piomelli stressed that his work does not imply that chocolate is addicting. Family fun found in Wright Auditorium The Magic of Lyn (above), The Velveteen Rabbit (top right), Dinosaur Mountain (center right), and Heidi (bottom right) are all events sched- uled for the new 1996-97 Family Fare Series. Dale Williamson Aeeletant Ufentyle Editor Let's say you are an individual who is concerned with the lack of family-oriented entertainment around the Greenville area. Most movies out these days are too graphic for younger audiences, downtown is filled mostly with bars, and you can only have so much fun shopping at the local malls. What can you do that is fun for both you and your children? The solution to your dilemma is right here at ECU. The Depart- ment of University Unions proudly announces the ECU Family Fare Se- ries, a year-long event that promises to delight the young and the young at heart. This family series offers clean fun through live productions that will also prove to be very educa- tional. According to Marketing Di- rector Carol Woodruff, these shows are performed by "professional, na- tional productions. This is what these people really do. This is their livelihood Since the shows are backed by professional talent, Woo- druff says that audiences can expect "full production values -lights, sounds, costumes, the works Although the first production does not start until October, TEC wants to do its part to support this worthwhile effort by offering an ad- vance preview of what is to come within the next academic year. The Family Fare Series begins on Oct. 5 with a musical production of The Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams' popular story featuring a stuffed animal who comes to life through a child's love and devotion. This story illustrates the power of childhood innocence by centering on the relationship between Steve, a young child who suffers the dan- gers of scarlet fever, and his stuffed rabbit. A major conflict arises when Steve's family, who fears that the Photos Courtesy of University Unions scarlet fever has contaminated Steve's belongings, decides that all of Steve's toys, including his beloved rabbit, must be destroyed. The Vel- veteen Rabbit it an endearing tale that has become a family favorite. On Nov. 16, the Family Fare Se- ries continues with the Magic of Lyn, a daixling performance filled with magic and illusion. Lyn is noted as being one of the few female illu- sionists in the world, and her high- energy performance will keep her audience hypnotised with awe. The Magic of Lyn, which has been going strong for over 20 years, will feature such spectacles as floating objects, disappearing and reappearing ani- mals, and a death-defying escape from 1,800 watts of electricity. You won't believe your eyes when you enter the magical world of Lyn.

Hall Senior Writer After the release of two studio al- bums. Labrador and Solid. Everything gives us exactly what we've always wanted to hear: an album with style, pizzazz, and a live sound that is abso- lutely riveting. Recorded during two unbelievable nights at the Bayou in Washington, D.C the new disc has a quality all its own. It starts off with a song called "All's Quiet In an ironic sort of way. thjs song title seems to be the perfect buy It used can't even hum alone way to start the album. Maybe the song refers to how things appeared before the concert started, but certainly not when it was going on. Once the show kicked in, the scene was everything but quiet. One of the hardest things to cap- ture in a live album is the intensity of the crowd. That's why this album is so impressive. It's all there. The sound is not only intense for the live perfor- mance, it's in the mix as well. The crowd was balanced, as well as the instru- ments and voices. Everyone involved in the production of the album did a great job. The sound of this band is promis- ing. You can listen to these guys and tell they're headed for bigger things. The aLum has a groove that can't be placed with anyone else. Craig Honeycutt, the band's lead singer and rhythm guitar plaver. knows not only where to fill in with his guitar but also with his impeccable voice. It's great to hear someone put a falsetto in the right place. Whether it be in the background or just part of the main lyrics, his voice is cool. Adding to the band's coolness is Stephen Van Dam. It's hard not to get up and scream with a band member like Van Dam chopping away on his guitar and alto sax. And if you think that's enough, prepare to overdose. The band has not only one horn, but three. Richard Bradley plays tenor sax and Terence Patrick Wolfe plays trombone. See PAY page 10 Fiona Apple Tidal John Davis Staff Writer There are two things that Alanis Morrisette and Sheryl Crow have in ; common. One, they are both obviously female pop musicians. Two, they both wish they could be Fiona Apple. The. anger and frustration in life that Alanis tried so hard to convey on her Jagged Little Pill album, and the sen- suality and soulful elements of worn- See APPLE page 10 V 10 Thursday, September 19,1996 The East Carolinian JKA.X from page 9 Van Dam and Bradley are always on opposite sides of the stage and can't help but challenge each other. You can imagine the entertainment No one seems to stick to one in- strument in this band, though. Try to swallow that live. Besides the tenor sax, Bradley also plays the guitar. In addi- tion to the trombone, Terence Patrick Wolfe has played keyboards with the band for the past year and was the former keyboard player for Full Stop. Dropping down low on the bass is David Slankard, a man who is the undertow of energy that keeps this band alive. And why wouldn't he since he stands right next to a drummer who not only can split time in the most pe- culiar way, but can sing as well. Nathan Brown has a lot to do with this band's intense emotional power. He never overplays, a rare quality for a drum- met. His fills are always appropriate, never overshadowing the basic rhythm. After you've heard how crazy these guys are on stage, imagine add- ing guest musicians to the lineup. Dave Wannamaker, who has played on stage with some of the best in the business (including the Dave Matthews Band and the Gibb Droll Band), played keys on this record. Not only was the horn section challenging one another, the keys were doing the same. As if that weren't enough, Gibb Droll himself made quite an appearance on the stage, as well. After being re- viewed as one of the greatest guitar players in the nation, it's not hard to hear how he earned that respect from everyone the night of the show. Most respect goes out to Craig for his big finish on the album's last track, "Essence of the Problem It's a song that represents the heart of the band and the man himself. The tune starts off on common ground with a keyboard in the mist and a figure to guide the way. Honeycutt helps the audience climb to another state of mind, a more elevated state of mind. And just when you think it's all over, a note, a yell, a cry for freedom breaks the silence that turns the tides of nothingness into Ev- erything. AFrLlj from page 9 anhood that Sheryl Crow forced into her whiny ballads, do not come near to matching the delicate balance of sensibilities that Apple has con- structed on her debut record. Tidal. Apple's voice is a powerful instru- ment. She can actually sing, which puts her ahead of the post-grunge sandpaper singers (Alanis) or the mis- erable whiners (Crow). Apple's voice is well suited to jazz music; she sounds like a pleasant mixture of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah McLachlan. Some of the highest points of her album are due to her voice and her vocal control. A lesser singer, or a singer without soul in her voice, would be unable to pull these moves off. Apple's voice is her strongest point as one can see on "Slow Milk Honey in which she sings that phrase and actually sounds like slow milk honey. Unfortunately, her voice is also her weakness, because it promises so much more than she is willing, or able, to deliver. There are moments when a little more jazz sensioility would be helpful in carrying a meme or emo- tion, and then there are other mo- ments when she comes on too strong. However, this seems to be more of a problem of youth; Apple has wonder- ful potential and as long as she can continue to develop her vocal control, then she should only improve. The songwriting and arrange- ments are strong as well. There is a nice cohesive variety of styles on this album, ranging from atmospheric, angry pop that reminds one of Sam Phillips, to breathy, soulful jazz bal- lads that are masterfully arranged, bringing back memories of Henry Mancini's talent. The lyrics include vindictive as- saults on male do-wrongs, as in the album's opener, "Sleep to Dream where Apple lays it on the line: "You say love is a hell you cannot bear I say gimme mine back and then go there for all 1 care Other songs are sweeter, more romantic samplings, such as "Pale September where Apple addresses sex more delicately and tenderly than Peter Gabriel, without losing any sen- suality. "And ail my armour falling down at my feet and my winter giv- ing way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep The songs all lean toward rela- tionships in their theme, but the story in each song is different, ranging from the frustration at tiie ambiguity of a man who refuses to decide whether to be a lover or a friend ("Shadowboxer") to a first look at a change of heart ("The Child is Gone"). Tidal is a pleasant album, very strong and well-written. But it seems to stray a little too close to monotony at points (though it never makes it there). And although it is well done, it relies too heavily on Apple's vocal and lyrical talent and doesn't have the strong musical moments a better al- bum of this same genre might (such as Tori Amos' Under The Pink). Don't get me wrong, the music is great It's just that with an artist like Apple, it could be wonderful. While that frustrates me, the average listener will thoroughly enjoy Tidal, especially if heshe happens to be a fan of Sa- rah McLachlan or Tori Amos. Fiona Apple has great potential, and I look forward to seeing where she will go in the future. For now, Tidal is a pleas- ant enough appetizer of what will hopefully be an excellent career.

The last time the two schools met on the gridiron was 1994. It was South Carolina's homecoming game, and the Pirates shocked the Gamecocks 56-42 in a thrilling shoot-out Things are a little different this go around. ECU has attracted attention to the program by back-to-back win- ning seasons, and the Pirates are no longer a team to schedule for a home- coming or parents day game. In fact officials at USC have moved the game time from a 1 p.m. start to a 7 p.m. night game "They moved that kick off time to 7 p.m for a reason Head Coach Steve Logan said. "They want every advan- tage they can get" USC head man Brad Scott is in his third year at the helm of this club, and he has them rolling out of the gate at 2-0. The Gamecocks opened some eyes and turned some heads this past weekend by taking control of the Geor- gia Bulldogs on national television. The Gamecocks have been led by their allusive signal caller Anthony Wright Wright a native of Vanceboro, , has put up 460 yards in his first two ballgames with a 60 percent comple- tion rate. Along "They moved that kick-off time to 7 p.m. for a reason � Head Coach Steve Logan with his passing efficiency, Wright has been described by coaches as one of the mos. .illu- sive quarter- backs in the Southeastern Conference (SEC.) "He is something Logan said. "Not only can he throw the ball very well, but it's almost comical seeing dodge defenders in the pocket He is the guy The Bucs will have to stop run- ning back Duce Staley coming out of the backfield. Staley, USC's leading rusher, not only has 365 yards to his name in rushing, but has also come out of the backfield for 84 yards in re- ceiving. "They have an awfully good run- ning back that we'll have to watch, along with a quick quarterback that we'll have to control Linebacker Carlos Brown said. To put up numbers 'ke these of- fensively, everybody knows you have to have a defense that can keep the offense on the field. That they do have. The USC defense is anchored by a quick front line led by junior defen- sive tackle Henry Taylor. Taylor is the most experienced of the defense front, but the Pirates will have to keep a watchful eye on Maynard Caldwell who led the Game- cock defense with 5.5 quarterback sacks last season. "This unit won't put as much pres- sure as West Virginia, but these guys are quick and they recover well Logan said. The Gamecocks' defense is for real, holding both Central Florida and SEC foe Georgia to 14 points apiece. With a hostile atmosphere of 85,000 plus fans, and two very evenly matched teams, this should live up to the hyped 7 p.m. kick-off in Williams - Brice. Expect to see another shoot-out between two matched teams, similar to the 1994 56-42 Pirate victory. Former starter takes seat on bench (.ady Pirate plays hew role as i assistant coach I David Councilman Staff Writer Basketball season is fast ap- proaching. The players are running (ind lifting weights, and the coaches ire preparing for the upcoming sea- con. For the Lady Pirates, there have een some players lost and some play- ers gained. The Lady Pirates Head Poach Anne Donovan has added a frew coach to her staff, but not such a hew face to the Lady Pirate basket- ball team. I Former player Danielle Charlesworth has been named an as- sistant coach for the Lady Pirates. Charlesworth is a former player for the Lady Pirates, who finished her ca- reer just last year and graduated in May. � Going from player to coach in a span of a year will be an adjustment Charlesworth is going from being a player who was out on the court mak- ing things happen, to being a coach on the sidelines watching the game unfold. "I miss playing the game some, but I love coaching Charlesworth said. The system that Charlesworth played for her last year is still intact and that should help ease her into her coaching duties. She knows what was expected of her and now she can re- lay that same message back to the new players. "Coach Donovan is a lot more intense Charlesworth said. She realizes the type of intensity Donovan expected of her on the court will be the same for her coaching. Donovan told her new assistant that coaching here will be easier in the fact I have been through the sys- tem. Charlesworth realizes what type of coach Donovan is. She can help the younger players see what is expected of them on the court and off. According to Charlesworth, it was just too hard to leave Greenville. "I like the school and the city, it was a good four years Charlesworth Although Charlesworth is help- ing with the basketball team she also wants to receive her master's degree. The ironic twist is that the play- ers that she will be coaching were not too long ago calling her their team- mate. This is especially true for the seniors. They have played most of their college basketball with Charlesworth and now they are call- ing her coach.

Players recognized nationally Hard work and determination pay off for key players Sean R. O'Brien Staff Writer ECU quarterback Marcus Crandell and split end Larry Shannon have been selected to compete for two national awards at,their respected positions. Crandell, a 60" senior from Robersonville, N.C has been named as one of 28 candidates for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, presented annually to the nation's top senior collegiate quarterback. The award is sponsored by the Kentucky Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, Inc. A select com- mittee of football experts from across the country will choose the finalists and eventually the recipient. Five fi- nalists will be named for the award on Oct. 30 with the recipient to be announced Nov. 27. Shannon, a 66" junior from Starke, Fla has also been recognized as one of 21 national candidates on the "watch list" for the Biletnikoff Award. The Biletnikoff award, named for the former Oakland Raider standout, honors the best of collegiate football's receivers. The "watch list" will be pared to 10 semifinalists in late October. Semifinals will then be re- duced to three finalists by early No- Larry Shannon vember. with the winner to be an- nounced in December. With Crandell and Shannon's recognitions, they have a chance to be in the national spotlight and prove they are the best in their positions. For Crande'l, being selected is a re- sult of all the work that he has put into the program through the years. "It's an honor to be named for such a prestigious award Crandell said. "It's a place that I've fought to get to and I want to uphold it the best I can Crandell admits when he first started his career here, he wasn't sure where his place on this team would be. "When I came here as a freshman I didn't really know if I was going to beat out the other quarterbacks that were here Crandell said. "I put in the hard work and took plays home Marcus Crandell and learned them through the weeks and now it's all paying off For Shannon, the Biletnikoff award is a chance for him to separate himself with the elite receivers in the nation. "I was very surprised at first but it will give me the opportunity at the end of the year to gain some notabil- ity Shannon said. "It's a great honor for them to recognize me and if I go out and keep doing the things that I'm doing, then at the end of the year if I got a chance, that would be great" Being selected to compete for these awards recognizes Crandell's and Shannon's ability to create an offense. An offense that can be explo- sive and is able to put up the kind of numbers that are needed to be se- lected for one of the awards.

Although right now the coaches are not allowed to watch the players practice, Charlesworth is watching them while they do their running and lifting. When it is time for practice to officially begin her new job will be- come more important Charlesworth will work with the guards. But th?t is not where her coaching duties will end. Whenever somebody is hurt or a player can't practice Charlesworth will fill in and scrimmage when she is needed. So her playing days for the Lady Pirates are not technically over. Could the Lady Pirates basketball staff eventually spawn off another great head coach for the basketball world? That is a possibility, although Charlesworth doesn't want to go any- where soon. "Eventually down the road Charlesworth said. "There is so much moving around For the Lady Pirates, this upcom- ing season will be filled with excite- ment and suspense and should hold many thrilling times. For Charlesworth it will mark a new era in her basketball career. are you ready dv to KILL?
