Keilum Senior Writer Caution: do not pet the dogs. At least not if the dog is wearing a harness and Is obviously being used by a visually-impaired individual as a see ing-eye dog. Nancy Badger, who is visually-im- paired, recently began work at the Coun- seling Center. When she arrived to be- gin her job. her dog Heidi came with her. Badger wanted for the campus popu- lation to know that a dog such as Heidi needs to be treated differently than most dogs seen on campus, who are pets. Badger says she understands that Heidi is a beautiful dog and it is natural tor people to want to pet her and talk to her. but such actions keen the dog from doing her job. "When (Heidi) has her harness on, that means that she's at work, and she shouldn't be distracted by other people. Otherwise, what will happen is she'll lose her training, and she won't pay atten- tion to her surroundings. It's a safety is- sue, not only for me. but for her as well Badger said. Another hazard for herself and her dog. Badger pointed out are the dogs who run loose on campus, with or with- out their owner around. "A loose dog will go up to a work- ing dog. get in that dog's path, follow the dog. and create all sorts of problems. Heidi has actually been attacked by a loose dog Badger said.

He said that the distinction between government and media had been infringed upon by Student Government members including President Robert Zimmer. Crrawford said the president could use his seat on the SMA to blackmail the media by voting to cut media budgets or by threatening to vote for a media head candidate that favors his agenda. UNC-Ch student selected top 10 college woman Lindsay Rae Mclntiyre, UNC-Chapel Hill's student body vice presi- dent, was named one of Glamour magazine's top ten college women. Mclntyre, a senior from Victoria, British Columbia, found out about the magazine contest last year and decided to give it a shot. To apply she submitted three letters of recommendation, a list of her extracurricular activites and an essay about her most meaningful leadership experience. Mclntyre began teaching herself sign language when she was 15. University of Tennessee recognized as activist school Mother Jones, a San Francisco-based investigative magazine, named the University of Tennessee (UT) as one of the country's top 20 activist schools over the past 20 years in the SeptemberOctober edition. UT students have been noted for battling the nearby Watts Bar nuclear power plant and its parent the Tennessee Valley Authority. Organizations on campus such as the NAACP, Amnesty Interna- tional and Habitat for Humanity are some groups who take active roles on campus. Mother Jones named UT as an activist campus after poling 20 activist organizations and asking them which schools have pioneered social action and consistently generated students committed to public affairs issues. Appalachian Sate University gets a bad grade Appalachian State University fell from eighth to 14th place in U.S. News and World Reports annual survey of Universities and Col- leges. Appalachian's score dropped from 87.1 percent to this year's score of 75.1 percent The office of admissions is in the process of preparing a report analyzing the rankings to be presented to the Deans Council. Although Appalachian's overall rating went down, its academic reputation rating improved, which accounts for 25 percent of the overall grade. Mental health professionals are par- ticipating in National Depression Screen- ing Week by offering information and free screenings to local residents. "This lets people know that depres- sion is an illness with real treatment If they get help, 80 percent get better said Gail Home, executive director of the Mental Health Association in Pitt County. Twenty-five percent of all people experience depression during their life- time. Common symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness, worth- lessness, restlessness, changes in sleep and appetite, energy loss and thoughts of death. This condition affects the body as well as the mind. "Depression, along with any men- tal illness is viewed in one of two ways. People may think that the depressed person can get over it or that its in their mind This is not true, because depres- sion is a real illness with real treatments. Another is just die common stigmas that surround a mental condition in general Home said. Treatment involves psychotherapy along with medications like prozac and elavile. If not treated, sufferers of depres- sion may experience problems at work or school They may have poor personal hygiene, sleeping and eating disorders and in extreme cases, they may commit suicide. "I think if s important for people to know what to look for so they can see it coming before it gets much worse said Dr. Thomas Maple, a counselor at the ECU Student Counseling Center. Being away from home and among the population of a large university may make college students experience feel- ings of loneliness, which is one of the major contributors to depression.

She even has had SPCA (Society for the Protection and Care of Animals) officials come to her house to investigate charges of ani- mal abuse, although that incident was quickly resolved when the officials real- ized that Heidi was a seeing-eye dog. "People sometimes think that it's cruel that we make the dogs work like this. But these dogs absolutely love this work. When I have to leave (Heidi) at home, she hates it She wants to be with me all the time Badger said. Badger also pointed out that being able to be with their owners all the time is one of the perks of a seeingeye dog's life, as well as being able to go almost anywhere. "She's been places that other dogs won't ever get to go. She's been in res- taurants, and on beaches that other dogs don't get to go on. She's been clear to Alaska and back. Other dogs don't get to do that Badger said. While a seeingeye dog might have all sorts of experiences that the average dog wouldn't, the average, day-to-day activities are those where they perform their services. "A lot of people wonder Can dogs read traffic lights, or what exactly can they do? She goes on my commands. She can't read traffic signs. But what she will do, is if I tell her to go across the street and she sees that there is a car coming and if s not going to stop, she won't take me. She'll get in my way so I can't cross the street" Badger said. Getting a dog is not for everyone, Badger said, and is a personal decisioa Some people who are visually impaired do not want the responsibility of a dog, and prefer to work with a cane. But Bad- ger says it was a wonderful choice for her. "I can get places quicker and a lot more effectively. I like a dog because, for me it's better. I've gone a lot more places with her than I would have gone with a cane, and I feel more confident" Badger said. Badger has had Heidi for five years, and says she will keep the dog until she dies, even when Heidi is no longer able to work. "I will get a new working dog, but I will have Heidi as long as she's alive. People do it different ways. Some people hold on to their dog, and they'll get a new working dog. Their dog will become a pet And that gets kind of sticky, be- cause both dogs have to feel valued Badger said. And these dogs are useful far more so than the average dog that lives as a pet They provide a valuable service to their owners, who benefit from the com- panionship and help of man's best friend. So students should keep all of these things in mind when they see a working dog. Badger says. Do not try to treat these dogs as pets, or interfere in any way with their duties, which are serious business to both the dogs and their owners. ?PEEDIG TICKETS DVVI, DRUG OFFENSES Peter.M.

Drawing Creativity From Diversity NMMMMMM Tuesday, September 24, 1996 The East Carolinian A.R. lAKjMK from page 1 said they looked to see which way they were headed. But when the man with the gun looked back and saw them watching, he started to head for them again and that was when the two vic- tims retreated into Subway. Once inside, the victims said, the Subway workers immediately gave them medical assistance and called an ambu- lance. "The people in the Subway really helped us out a lot the victims said. The victims were taken to the hos- pital where they received stitches and were kept under observation. One was released within a few hours, at approxi- mately 3 a.m. The other was disoriented for several hours after the attack and did not get released until 5 p.m. the next day. The victims said that they lost ap- proximately $60 to $70 dollars alto- gether, but that their primary concern was losing all of their documentation, such as student ID's, Social Security cards, driver's licenses and their ATM and credit cards. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a check cashed in this town without any ID?" one of the victims asked. The victims pointed out to TEC that they both (the victims) are fairly- large men-one is 6T' and the other 6'2and that they were in a well-lit parking lot next to a busy street It was also fairly early in the evening, relatively speaking, since 11:30 p.m. is early com- pared to the 2 a.m. quitting time most people adhere to when they are down- town. Given the circumstances, neither of these students expected to be the victim of an attack that night "We've taiked a lot about it and we've never given a second thought about it about walking around down- town late at night" one of the victims ? said. The victims said that neither of them had been drinking that night nor under the influence of any drugs what- soever. They said they wanted to stress that fact since a policeman called them the day after the attack and asked what kind of alcohol or drugs were being used. He didn't ask if there were drugs involved, the victims said, but seemed . to assume that there were and only asked what kind. The victims said they were initially unsure about being interviewed about the incident but decided to do it in the hopes that others would read their ac- count of the attack and exercise cau- tion when out at night "If whoever sees this paper and reads this story thinks twice about go- ing downtown next time, then telling our story is for the best" the victims said. They urged others to always stay with friends and not to be out late, es- pecially if they're drinking. "The situation is crazy. It's every- where, it's in Greenville, and you have - to be careful. And until it happens to you, or someone you care about you don't think about it" JJblvlrl5 from page 1 Lyn will feature a big-box illusionist Then, an African-American musical nar- rative, Black Journey, will be the attrac- tion on February 8.

Cutler said that the tickets are going at a steady rate. "Velveteen has almost sold out al- ready Cutler said.

"This would give them five tickets to each show Individual ticket orices are $8 for the public $7 for faculty and staff, $5 for ECU students and youth and $8 at the door for everyone. The seasonal tick- ets are $25 for public $20 for faculty and staff and15 for students and youth.

Tuesday, Septemeber 24,1996 The East Carolinian &c8?efif 4 Oun1tew Was the launch on Iraq a necessary action to preserve democracy or a calculated election-year stunt ? On Sept 3, the United States launched a missile attack against Saddam Hussein and Iraq in an effort to combat Hussein's aggres- sion on the Kurdish areas in what is supposed to be a United Nations "safe haven" in northern Iraq. Once again, might makes right and alien threat is suppressed through the power of Ameri- can technology. Hooray. George Bush did the same thing back when he was president, and he received much praise for displaying some backbone and putting those darn Iraqis in their place. Hooray. We at TEC are not idiots. We acknowledge that national threats are a reality. We know that war is a reality. We know that some- times nations are left with no option but to retaliate and fight those forces that threaten national security. We also know how to read between the lines. Think back to Mr. Bush. Think back to how the election year was approaching Think back to how many voters viewed Mr. Bush as a "wimp a president with no backbone. What better way to show that you are not a wimp, to prove that you are a strong, tough leader than to walk right up to your enemy and slap him in the face. Cross this line and you'll get burned. That's what many Americans want in a leader. Guess what? Another election year is approaching. Is this a coincidence or is President Clinton copying Mr. Bush? Many crit- ics of Mr. Clinton have also centered him out as a wimpy leader, an idealistic flower child. Clinton needs the polls on his side. He needs to prove that he is a leader we can depend on when it comes to hostile threats. What can one do? Mr. Clinton and his staff are justifying their decision to attack by boasting about international security concerns. "Our objectives in Iraq are limited but our interests are clear Mr. Clinton states. "To demonstrate once again that reckless acts have consequences, to reduce Saddam's ability to strike out again at his neighbors, to increase America's ability to prevent future acts of violence and aggression Even Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole had voiced his support for such a daring display of strength. "America and its allies and friends around the world can no longer tolerate Saddam's repeated attempts to erode the restraints that have been placed on his regime, and to violently reassert his authority Dole said. When you wipe away all of the political, flag-waving rhetoric, what is left? We at TEC see this military aggression as just another political move to boost the polls. It was once stated that nothing helps the economy like a good, old-fashioned war; the same can be said for the presidential stats. We, as Americans, like to feel secure, and we want a leader who will guarantee that security. We don't want a wimp. Another famous quote stated that wars do not make one great The same can be said when talking about the wimptough leader analogy. So, before you salute our leaders for taking action against a national threat take a moment and ask the all-important question, "Why did they do this now?"

Monogamy is a fossil By design, humans possess the ability to reason. It is what separates us from the rest of the animal king- dom. Baboons can do the sex gigolo with a thousand other babe-boons. It is not in their nature to bother with sexual ethics. Well, I am not an ape or mon- key. I have known a hundred guys who were great friends, but I could never stomach their treatment of women. We'd go downtown on a Fri- day or Saturday night and I felt like I was in a jungle. Primates jumping up and down on one another with somekind of erotic fervor. Me; I al- ways end up standing precariously in a corner, wishing God would start evolution over. Hey, where is love? Am I endangered here? Don't tell me that conquering as much flesh as is possible is some sort of pursuit of love. Anthony Slade Opinion Columnist Bravol You've just added another pathetic chapter to the book of human futility. The value of a monogamous re- lationship is at an all-time low. Mo- nogamy does not entail one sex part- ner per night. It is a commitment to your significant other. That means if your lucky enough to find that spe- cial someone, you don't lie, cheat or sneak. I swear on my grandmother Sylvia's grave, that if you delegate that powerful sexual energy toward someone you love, the heart will flourish. People seem to treat sex like it's something you get away with. "Oh, yeah, I nailed this chick last night, and I didn't even give up my real name Bravo! You've just added another pathetic chapter to the book of human futility. Look, I guess I'm getting too old to deal with people who blow-off the fragility of the human condition. Is love not what we're searching for? Maybe the 90s are just some sort of surreal forum for sex dominance. Of course, as usual I'm ranting, but it doesn't really matter. Humans hate one thing more that listening changing Co eat a banana. &etten& t t6e Setito Why are student fees putting SGA through school? Vote for Victims' Rights To the Editor, This past session, 1 submitted Senate Bill 6 which is known as the "Victims Rights Bill This bill is a Constitutional amendment that must be approved by the voters of North Carolina on November 5.1 would like for your readers to be aware of this initiative and what it means for our state. If a majority of the voters sup- port my bill in the General Elections on November 5, the victims of crime will have the following rights: 1. To be informed of and be present at court proceedings of the accused; 2. To be heard at sentencing and other times; 3. To receive restitution; 4. To be given relevant information about the system; 5. To be notified about the disposition of the case and the sentence of the accused; 6. To be notified of changes in the status of the convict; and 7. To confer with the prosecution. Eighteen other states have added these rights to their Constitu- tion and I feel that it is time that we do the same. I have submitted this bill and fought for its passage in the General Assembly, but the job is not done until every voter is aware of what my bill will do to improve the rights of victims in North Carolina. We should be tougher on criminals, and more supportive of victims. If our system is more supportive of victims, our communities will be less inviting to criminals. 1 ask that you please support Senate Bill 6 on the ballot this November. Please vote for Victim's Rights. Ed Warren N.C. State Senator Ninth Senate District To the Editor, I am writing in response to the article in Thursday's TEC "Student Fees Pay for SGA Tuition Student government is a campus organization that very few students know or even care about So, why is it that these fellow students believe that they are the "highest campus leaders?" The truth is that these so- callei leaders" have little effect on the everyday common student Why is it that these people have the ability to pass a bill allowing their leaders to use my money for their tu- ition and books? Maybe the Interfra- ternity (IFC) and Panheliinic councils should pay their leaders' tuition with student fees? In fact why shouldn't all students receive free tuition? The fact is that had the students known about this bill before it was passed, there would have been a major debate be- tween the East Carolina University students and our leaders. It seems as if the SGA is a secret society that only comes public with legislation that tells students their student fees are pay- ing for other students to receive an education. Proven by last year's election, the SGA is at best controversial. Maybe it is about time we investigate this or- ganization and reveal where our money is really going. As a student who does pay tuition here at school, it disgusts me to know that my money is also paying for other students to receive an education. The way to solve this problem is to allow the entire student body to vote whether or not SGA officials should receive free tuition in addition to free books and a monthly check. I guarantee at the end of that vote all student government officers would be receiving a paycheck every week for the number of hours they really worked times $5, as do most student employees. If they were the "highest campus leaders" they claim they are, they would be paying their own way and putting money back into the uni- versity-where it should be going! G. W. Rocchio Senior Biology Support same-sex marriages To the Editor, I wanted to thank you first for your presentation of the understand- able differences of opinion relating to the issue of same-sex marriage. I felt though, that a stronger case needed to be made in favor of such marriages. The big argument against same- sex marriages stems from the idea that marriages are simply the union of a man and woman for the purpose of having children. This idea is flawed without even considering same-sex unions. When a couple applies for a marriage license, they may have to have a blood test, but do not have to take a fertility test. Nor are couples without plans to have children or too old to have children denied marriage licenses on those grounds. A marriage is a commitment be- tween two adults who love one an- other and want to commit their lives to living together as a couple. They may or may not have children, either of their own as a coupl, of one from previous relationship or by artificial insemination, or of neither through adoption. The whole idea of a "Defense of Marriage Act" is preposterous and sim- ply an election-year ploy to try and make Bill Clinton alienate gay and lesbian voters. Elizabeth Birch, direc- tor of the Human Rights Campaign best showed the hypocrisy of one of the original sponsors of the bill, Rep. Barr (R-GA), when she asked him which of his three marriages he was trying to defend. Similarly, one could ask which of Bob Dole or Newt Gingrich's marriages they wished to defend. The only thing that marriage needs to be defended from is people who take their marriage vows lightly, leading to break-up and divorce. Maybe Congress is simply afriad that if allowed, same-sex couples might actually show them up and just get the marriage thing right Rich Elkins Graduate Student Geography Correction Due to the change in scheduling lor FaH break we will have a paper on Oct. 10 and not on Oct. 17.

So join in another futile atlemnt to change the status quo and listen to a "Scream at the Wall Jay Myers Ufestyie Editor BANG! POW! SMACK! CRASH! SLAM! BOF! OOF! Those were the sounds of my youthful introduction to TV violence on reruns of the ultra-campy, almost cartoonish Batman show. Con- stantly beseiged by lackeys sporting goofy nicknames and matching out- fits, Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) punched and kicked their way through an endless mass of bad guy flesh. And it didn't stop there. James West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) regularly used human bodies to destroy furniture on The Wild, Wild West while, over at the Paramount lot James T. Kirk (William Shatner) of Star Trek fame put a hurtin' on just about every' non-human that thrust his chin out towards him. For the younger kiddies of our generation (hell, I must admit 1 loved 'em, too), Warner Brothers dished out cartoons of Bugs Bunny beat- ing the crap out of Elmer Fudd and Wile E. Coyote serving as indestruc- tible fodder for his own evil machi- nations against the always chipper and moralistically unchallenged Road Runner. "So what? you may ask. Well, our generation has been characterized as an ultra-violent un- caring, unfeeling bunch of wackos who would rather take injections of heroin in our eyes and rape our grandfathers than try to make the world a better place. .And many of those who characterize us this way would blame violence in the media (entertainment and otherwise) for this. Come on, how can anyone be- lieve a concept like this? Let's lump everybody in their 2()'s together and say that Daffy Duck made them kill, kill, kill. It's ridiculous. Why am I on this soapbox? Rap artist Tupac Shakur recently died because of his involvement in a drive-by shooting and his detractors have been less than pleasant in stat- ing why they feel he died. Bob Dole, in his run for the presidency, has recently spoken out about the lack of family values in such films as Natural Bom Killers and Pulp Fic- tion. Both of these things have brought the topic of violence up to a simmering heat in the frying pan that is my brain. In order to put my thoughts in perspective, let me tackle each one of these aforemen- tioned topics in turn. First of all. Tupac was admit- tedly, from day one, a gangsta. No mincing words here, he lived life hard and fast and many criticize him for it Yet the blame for his death lies not with the popularity he en- joyed as a rap artist Yes. the record industry does promote heavily th se rappers who have a street legitimacy they can maintain, but. they are not the source for this problem, either. No, the real problem lies with society and our inability to provide a way out for people who are trapped because of their economic status. Because they are angry and they have no political voice, they have to find some kind of voice See VIOLENCE page 8 Andy Turner Staff Writer Attention all freshmen: do not read this article. Now for everyone else: Do you remember the months before you first came to ECU or the day your parents reluctantly dropped you off at your residence hall? What was it your mom said about being proud of you? Don't get into too much trouble, your dad warned. What did they say? Can you re- member? University Housing Services hopes a new project captures those parental aspirations, warnings and predictions forever for this year's (and future) freshmen. Project 2000, similar to a time capsule, allowed parents to write let- ters to their children and simply state their thoughts about sending their son or daughter away to school. The letters were then sealed in envelopes and addressed to the students' per- manent homes. In a separate envelope, parents mailed the letters to University Hous- ing Services, who will keep the let- ters in a safe until May of the year 2000, the projected graduation date for this year's freshman class. At that time. Housing Services will mail the letters back to the students. Manny Amaro, director of Univer- sity Housing Services, said he hopes the project, developed by Carolyn Miller, associate director for Resident's Life, will become a tradition at ECU. "We see a need at ECU to build on some tra- ditions Amaro said. "We truly are a wonderful south- ern university. When you think of southern universi- ties, you think of traditions ECU is only one of a few univer- sities that have projects similar to Project 2000, ac- cording to Amaro. The project has been a success so far. considering Housing Services has received more than 1.100 letters. 'We had to get a larger safe Amaro admitted.

In Willis' latest outing, Last Man Standing, our critic finds himself a willing disciple. tractive way? Bruce brings back mythic hero with brains and bullets Dale Williamson Assistant Ufestyie Editor When Bruce Willis first played tough guy in Die Hard his career took a drastic turn from light comedy to hard- edged action. In an attempt to become the next big action star, Willis made sev- eral shootem-up films that, unfortu- nately, labeled him as a half-baked actor of mindless trash. As a result Willis' ca- reer took a dive. Wising up to this fact. Willis has recently tried to revamp his career by revising his role as tough guy. Both lilp Fiction and 12 Monkeys featured Willis as the taut hero, but unlike other Willis actioners (such as Striking Distance) these films were backed with solid sto- ries and creative talent. These films gave Willis the boost he needed to restruc- ture his heroic image. Willis' newest film. Last Man Stand- ing, continues on the path that Ihilp Fiction and 12 Monkeys paved by cast ing our hero within a mythic context that poetically plays off archetypes and clas- sic motifs. While every other critic in this country is discounting ImsI Man Stand- ing as a needlessly violent cliche, this film proves to be a action piece filled with top cinematic talent, a mythic atmo- sphere, and an engaging moral ambigu- ity. Wntei directoi Waltei Hill bases IlsI Man Stamina on Akira Kurosawa's Japanese masterpiece Yojimbo (which was also redone as the Sergio Ieone Clint Eastwood western. A Fistful of Dollars). The tale involves a lone figure appearing in a wasting town ruled by two warring gangs. Seeing an opportu- nity to make a financial gain, this lone figure plays both sides of evil by work- ing for both gangs and manipulating them against one another. This mythic tale requires a setting and time that creates a sense of distance and separation from our sense of reality. Trying to recreate this story within a contemporary metropolis would not carry the same sense of awe and isola- tion. There we, Hill wisely places his lone figure (Willis as the ambiguous John Smith, a nice play off "the man with no name" mystique) in the far reaches of the Texas wasteland during the prohibi- tion era. Kurosawa used samurais. Sergio I eone used cowboys, Hill uses gangsters.

Dangerous Minds itself is coming to the small screen in the form of a dramatic series on ABC.

Of the new shows this fall, three are similar in that they revolve around fish- out-of-water teachers and all three fea- ture actors who have been stand-up com- ics at one time or another.

That voice is justifiably one fufl of anger and violence at tl Jt injustice which oppresses them. And more often than not those who criticize that voice do so from an elevated economic posi- tion. In fact, the ones criticizing are usu- ally the ones causing the problem. Next Bob Dole doesn't know a good movie from a hole in his head. He re- cently stated that True Lies was a better film than Natural Born Killers because it extolled family values. . Later, an interviewer told him that more people were killed oivscreen in True Lies than in Natural Born Killers and asked him how he thought this was a good example of a family film. Dole ad- mitted that he had not seen either film, that the speech had been written for him. Again, the problem lies more with the uninformed critic rather than the more informed victim of said criticism. These two incidents serve as per- fect examples of the misconceptions the generations before ours have about their roles in our current state. Our generation is messed up. I'd be the first to admit that But so is the one before it and the one before it etc The problem isn't TV or movies or books. It is much more complex than that People are the problem, as they al- ways have been and always will be. Instead of worrying about why we're shooting each other's brains out watch a movie about it or listen to an album about it Listen to the voices that are really speaking about the problem and tell the old farts to shut up. rq R I N C I 1' 1 1 S : of S ()l N n K I - T I R 1. M 1 N T I NJ LAST from page 6 Much of the film's criticism centers around the violence and sexism of the characters. While the characters ae vio- lent and they use women for their own distasteful purposes, violence and sexism are not the film's central elements. In reality, gangster organizations were not' known for humanitarian efforts, and political correctness had not yet dawned in the '20s. One of the major strengths of this film's story is its sense of manipulation and moral ambiguity. Smith is not the classic hero in the traditional sense; he is, however, the classic film noir figure. He is a man running away (from what we are never sure). He is a man who hides in a whiskey bottle (which also serves as a sense of empowerment for him). He is a man who manipulates situations to work for him. Hill pays homage to film noir to the point that he even has our hero's tired, beaten voice aarrate the tale. While Last Man Standing looks to the past for its inspiration, it doesn't get stuck in the past Hill is a talented mod- ern director who knows his craft Like the heroes in other contemporary mythic films (such as John Woo's The Killer and Robert Rodriguez's Desperado), Smith is an unstoppable walking arsenal. Give this hero not one but two guns and any- thing is possible. Technically, Last Man Standing is topnotch stuff. Cinematographer Lloyd Ahern creates a dusty, golden wasteland riddled with blood and fire; Ry Cooper's soundtrack recalls the disorienting feel of the spaghetti westerns of the late '60s; and Hill's transitions from scene to scene and sequence to sequence clearly illus- trate his visual expertise. Christopher Walken is an extra bo- nus as the scarred, raspyvoiced gangster named Hickey. I don't care how tired the critics are of Walken playing the killer psychotic he is a cinematic treasure who wears his roles with the elegance of roy- alty. Last Man Standing is not for ev- eryone, admittedly. It is extremely vio- lent there are few (if any) admirable char- acters, and one has to comprehend the story's subtext in order to fully appreci- ate the film's moral thematics. However, for those of you who enjoy action with a disturbing edge, Last Man Standing is a sure bet Bruce Willis has taken some harsh blows from critics in the past and appar- ently Last Man Standing isn't going to be an exception-1 have to stray from the majority on this one, though.

When ECU headed down to Co- lumbia to match-up with South Carolina, little did they know that history would be made. It was the 13th meeting be- tween the two schools with the Gamecocks holding a 9-3 lead in the series. But after a 23-7 victory, USC's series lead was cut down to 9-4. The weather favored the Pirates throughout the game. No it wasn't a clear, cool night; it was rainy and muddy. Why would that favor the Pirates, you ask? Thanks to Hurri- cane Fran, the Pirates were used to practicing in the rain and it was ob- vious that South Carolina was not With the aerial assault shut down due to the weather, the run- ning game had to pick up the slack. And it did in a huge way. Sophomore Fullback Scott Harley rushed for 291 yards, which is a school record for most rushing yards in a game. The original mark was set by Junior Smith in 1993 with 282 yards. Harley tied another record set by Butch Colson in 1969, for most carries in a game - 41. Harley credits his success to his teammates who helped to create the openings he needed to get down the field. "I just come out here and try to play football and win games Harley said.

The defense played well and special teams played Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH ECU soccer goalie Cara Morgridge recorded 15 saves in Sunday's loss to William & Mary. The Lady Pirates dropped another game on Friday losing to Florida State, 1-0. Jon Lauterer Staff Writer Last weekend was a very event- ful time for the ECU Women's Soccer team. Two home games on Bunting Field only one day apart and one be- ing a conference game, were enough to make the ECU team feel the pres- sure of expectation. The first game of the weekend took place on Friday afternoon. ECU faced off with an equally skillful team, Florida State. The Seminoles were definitely ready to play tough. The game had advanced only 10 minutes into the first half when fresh- man player Shana Woodward received an injury to her right leg. The injury resulted in Woodward having to sit out the game. The Pirates kept the momentum strong and steady for the first 20 min- utes, resulting in a great deal of play at the Seminole goal. But not many shot attempts were made by ECU. At about the 20 minute mark, the Seminole offense surged forward and gave the Pirates a good seesaw battle for the rest of the half. Ten minutes before the half, the Seminoles made a great number of shot attempts on Pirate territory which finally resulted in a Florida State goal. A big blow to the ECU offense came just before the half when this season's leading scorer. Karen Blake, was injured by a kick to the left shin Blake was carried off of the field and iced up for the rest of the game. The second half was a struggle at mid-field. Both sides couldn't get a good look at the other's goal and the goalkeepers pulled saves until the end. Due to the aggressive play, a Seminole was issued a red card in the second half. The closest the Pirates came to tying the Seminoles was when Kelly Karras fired a penalty kick that bounced off of the top of the goal post When the final whistle blew and the dust cleared, the Florida State Seminoles were the victors by the score of 1-0. The Lady Pirates had only one day to prepare for their second con- ference game of the season. Their first conference match up wasa loss on Wednesday to Old Dominion at Nor- folk, Va. So the William & Mary match on Sunday was very important for standings and team morale. "We knew coming in that Will- iam & Mary was going to be very skill- ful and aggressive, and they were ECU Head Coach Neil Roberts said. See BALL page 11 Cross country runs with the "Pack" Zina Briley Staff Writer The men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Raleigh over the weekend to compete in the Wolfpack Invitational. ECU came away with a fourth- place finish from the men and a sixth-place finish by the women. North Carolina State University's men's and women's cross country teams captured both tities this weekend at their Wolfpack Invitational. This comes as no surprise, as both teams are ranked 10th in the country. For the Pirates, who came close to beating one of their rivals, UNC-Wilmington, this meet was one to be proud of. Never before, in the history of ECU men's cross coun- try have nine runners run this fast. "The men are excited about this season and are very dedicated to cause Coach Mike Ford said. The Pirate, as a team, are, on average, over a minute faster, rewrit- ing the top ten of all time in just this season- Jamie Mance who finished first at last weekend's ECUOverton Cross Country Invitational at Lake Kristi. was one of the top finishers for ECU on Saturday. He is one of the Pirates rewriting history. Mance finished 11th with a time of 24:S5, which is a minute faster than last week's time. Other top finishers were Jus- tin England, finishing 16th with a time of 25:16. and Andrew Worth, who placed 18th with a time of 25:47.

We just all came together as a team Coach Steve Logan was pleased with the effort his entire team gave. "This is a good three-way win Logan said. Marcus Crandell completed just five passes for the game, but knew once the rain started his role would be different "Once it started to rain I thought we were going to run the ball down their throats Crandell said. And run the ball they did. ECU racked up 308 yards rushing and only 75 yards passing. Before the game be- gan, the sky dropped some precipitation to make things more diffi- cult. But that would prove not to be an ob- stacle for the Pirates. "You can dedicate this game to Hurricane whatever-it- was that came through here Logan said. The initial crowd of over 79,000 people dwindled down after half- time. This was an advantage since USC did not have the crowd roar- ing in their favor. Buck Collins, who recorded his first touchdown for the Pirates, hopes the team will get more recog- nition now. "All we want is a little respect Collins said. "They couldn't stop our running so we just kept on going.

Freshman Julia D'Alo named player of the week Sean R. O'Brien Staff Writer A freshman volleyball player is turning heads in the Colonial Ath- letic Association. Julia D'Alo was named the CAA volleyball player-of-the-week during the week of Sept 16. D'Alo, a freshmen from Pitts- burgh, Pa. garners the award after having a phenomenal week. She led ECU to three straight wins to cap- ture the Cornell Invitational tourna- ment title and the Most Valuable Player honors. "Julia has simply been the most consistent player on the team Head Coach Kim Walker said. "Her physi- cal and mental effort in each match and at practice has been outstand- ing This past week , D'Alo recorded 13 kills. 144 assists and 33 digs, in- cluding a career high 49 assists against Cornell in the tournament's championship match. She currently posts a .333 hitting percentage and has served 19 aces and registered 90 digs. For D'Alo, the award is some- thing she knew little about. "I'm just a freshman and I did not even know that such an award was available D'Alo said. "It's a nice honor and I am very excited about it" The tournament win at Cornell was the first tournament the Lady Pirates have won this season. They managed to beat Wagner 3-0, Mor- gan State 3-1 and Cornell 3-2 in the finals. For D'Alo the win not only shines on her abilities as a player, but alsoon the team. "We took a big step at Cornell in im- proving as a team D'Alo said. "We really competed well and we took the play at people when we had to, something we have struggled with earlier this season "We have a lot of good talent "We really competed well and we took the play at people when we had to, something we have struggled with earlier this season ? Julia D'Alo, freshman from Pittsburgh, PA nation at the amateur level. She cred- its her experience in junior Olympic club volleyball as what has brought her up to the level of play that is expected in Division 1-A volleyball. "High school volleyball is on a much lower level than Division 1-A but the club volleyball matches I have played in are pretty much on the same level D'Alo said. "I have played in some club matches that are at a lot higher level than some of the matches that I have played in here, but then there are some that are as bad as high school D'Alo needs that kind of expe- rience to fit into the Pirates young program. The po- sition she plays on the court - setter is one that carries on this team and we are good enough to win when we all play together D'Alo said. "At Cornell we put it all on the line and we were able to come away with the win D'Alo is no stranger to putting it all on the line. She comes from a very strong high school program, where she was selected to the All- State Team her senior season in the state of Pennsylvania. She also played on a national club volleyball team that finished in the t?Jp 20 in the with it a lot of responsibility and is key to the Pirates success. "The setter is like the core of the team, fhe nucleus D'Alo said. "It could be a real scary position for a freshmen coming into a new pro- gram, but I'm not like that She compares her position to that of a football position. "Playing the setter position is like being the quarterback on the See FRESHMAN page 10 ? " plHIIWI ?'?' M?"i IKr- ?

"I am very comfortable in playing this role, I love my posi- tion and I would not change it for the world One of the reasons that D'Alo has become so comfortable at setter 1 the trust and support of coach Walker. D'Alo credits Walker with her development as a player as well as one of the key reasons for choos- ing ECU in the first place. - "I chose ECU not only because of the program and academics, but also because Coach Walker was very serious when she said she wanted to turn this program around D'Alo said. "I have been coached by a lot of different coaches and what I like about her coaching style is she al- lows me to make my own decisions on the court. She trusts me and we work together very well. I have a ton of respect for her D'Alo believes that the women's volleyball program will become a con- tender in the CAA, if not this sea- son, then next She has a good sense of where the team stands and where it is headed in the future. "I believe we can win a confer- ence championship D'Alo said. "I don't know how far down the road that is, but we are a young team and we are already having some success. We are 4-6 and we have beat some good teams, but we have lost to some good teams we could have beaten as well To win a conference title, team- work will be the key. "If we keep working together I think we will win the conference eventually D'Alo said. ECU lost to UNC-Chapel Hill af- ter the Cornell win in three games by the score of 9-15, 3-15 and 7-15. The team also played in one other tournament this past weekend at Campbell University. The team's two wins came against UNC-Asheville (1-3) and Mercer (1-3). They also re- corded losses to James Madison (0- 3) and Campbell (0-3). ECU will play UNC-Greensboro at 7 p.m. Sept 30 at Minges. Students are admitted free. Band marches toward NFL half-times David Councilman StaffWritar What student organization is at ail the home football games, in the stands and on the field playing their hearts out? Yes, it is the football team and the cheerleaders, but that list also includes the ECU Marching Band. In the past it seems as if the band never gets the recognition they deserve. Until now. ' The Marching Pirates, under the direction of Chris Knighten, now have gotten the recognition they have been looking for. They have been asked to perform at a Washing- ton Redskins game as well as perform at a Carolina Panthers game. The band was selected after they sent in videotapes to the Redskins and Pan- thers entertainment directors. They got the news that they would be per- forming at these games this summer. "The students are very intelli- gent and work very hard, they enjoy providing entertainment Knighten said. A lot of the band success can be attributed to Knighten. Before he came to ECU the band's enrollment was only about 140 people, now the enrollment is 200 members. That is an in- crease of 40 per- cent "We have a very aggressive recruiting cam- paign Knighten said. The band practices three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and mmmmmmmmmmm Friday from 4-6 p.m. The members start off with stretching, marching fundamentals, 30 minutes of just playing music and then the rest of the time they are putting the show together, which is very complex.

"There is only one hour of credit for the marching band Knighten said. The march- ing band is not only for music majors. There are a diverse group of majors who play for the band. "We target non-music majors as well, 50 per- cent of the band are not music ma- jors Knighten said. The band re- cruits by sending out letters, they also work with high school bands.

No Backpacks Bookbags Allowed in Hendrix Theatre HEART BALL from page 9 ECU from page 11 PAC1V from page 9 The game kicked off on a sour note with a Tribe goal on the fourth minute. "Early goals do not help. In the game of soccer, you don't score that many in the first place and when you get down one-nothing four minutes into the match, it gets tough Rob- erts said. The early Tribe goal prompted an ECU defensive scramble against a re- lentless Tribe offense. ECU Goal- keeper Cara Morgridge had her hands full with 15 saves throughout the game. The Tribe did a very consistent job of keeping the ball in Pirate terri- tory for the remainder of the first half. The second half was a hard one for the clearly-frustrated Pirates. The second Tribe goal that slipped out of Morgridge's hands in the 59th minute was a devastating blow to the Pirates. With only three minutes remain- ing, the nail was driven by the Tribe when they scored the last goal of the game. The final score- William & Mary 3, ECU 0. "The girls hung tough, they came back Roberts said. "They came back and battled in the second half The Lady Pirates will have two dif- ficult games in the UNCAsheville Puma Classic Tournament scheduled for next weekend. ECU will take on Appalachian State and Georgia Southern. than it was The question remains: Does South Carolina respect ECU now? "Most definitely not Ron Suddith said. "They don't respect us. When we were doing stretching, they were talking about East Caro- lina who? So obviously they don't respect us. But they know deep down inside that we're a better team Lamont Burns sees the series doing more of a balancing act. with ECU racking up more victories. "The series is starting to bal- ance out Burns said. "They still don't respect us. Once they start respecting East Carolina and the program, it won't be the way it's been the last four or five games. It will be a more competitive series when they realize we're just as good a team as they are or better Going into the game, there was no doubt that the Pirates were pumped up for the battle. it's pretty tough coming down here, but we played out hearts out and come out with the victory Crandell said. Harley felt the same way. "We were down after the West Virginia loss but we knew we could come down here and give these guys a fight Harley said.

Also the Marching Pirates perform twice a year at high school march- ing band competitions, which is a great recruiting tool. They perform in front of 2,000 to 5,000 students at these competitions. This does not include all the people that they per- form in front of in a year. "The band performs in front of 400,000 people a year Knighten said. They also travel to one away game in football and they go to Bowl games if the football team makes it in. The band also has 30 people per- form for basketball games and they travel to the CAA tournament in Richmond. Part of the group will perform at the Virginia Tech game, but the whole band will perform at the long awaited clash between Pi- rates and N.C. State. You know - the other team.

There is only about 5 of the people in the United States who have what I want. These are the leaders that have moved out of the flock and became eagles. If you don't ever step out of the pack, you will always be part of it. If you want to be understood by the 5 you will be misunderstood, at times, by the 95. I am part of the fellow- ship of the 5. The die has been cast, I have stepped out of the comfort zone, the decision has been made. I won't look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is forgiven, my present is focused, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sidewalking, small planning, faith- less dreams, tainted vision, mundane talk- ing, cheap excuses, and dwarf goals. I no longer have the need for eminence, posi- tion, promotion,promises, or popularity. I don't have to be first, I don't have to be right, I don't have to be recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I live by faith, learn by submitting, labor by love, lead by example. My dream is developed, my destination definite, desire determined, discipline dedicated, devotion distinct. My pace is set, my pace is fast, my road is nar- row, my way is tough, my companions strong, my counselors reliable, my purpose pure, and my mission clear. I can not be bought, compromised.detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, delayed or denied. I will not flinch at the face of sacrifice, hes- itate in the presence of the advisory, nego- tiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, let up until I've stayed up, stored up, paid up, and stood up for the prices and cause of freedom. I must fight when oth- ers faint, go when others won't, give until I drop, teach till I know, and work until the task is finished and when I lay exhaust- ed on the playing field of dreamers, the Britt Diamond Club won't have a problem recognizing me as one of their own. Come join us. For more information call 353- 0634. SUNDAY EVENING WORSHIP SERVICE at the Methodist Student Center Casual dress. Refreshments following the service.
