September 26,1996 Vol72, No. 11 The East Carolinian Circulation 12,000 East Carolina University Greenville, N C 20 pases Across The State GREENSBORO (AP) - The in- terim president of the NAACP state conference has agreed to slow the pace of change within the fractured organization, but the decision seems to have done little to curb infight- ing. In recent weeks, Melvin "Skip" Alston, the state conference acting president who took the post in May, has closed the Charlotte headquar- ters and replaced 13 of the 28 com- mittee chairmen who serve on the state's 52-member executive com- mittee. ABERDEEN, N.C. (AP) - It has been 16 years since Shelly Diane Chalflinch and her 9-year-old daugh- ter were found dead, stabbed hun- dreds of times. Sixteen years since David Junior Brown was sentenced to die. As a hearing resumed in Asheviile in Brown's long appeal process, relatives of Chalflinch, 26, and her daughter. 9-year-old Chris- tine, continued what has become an agonizing wait. Across The Country SPRINGFIELD. Mo. (AP) - The Walt Disney Co. took another hit from a Christian group today when the Assemblies of God said it was urging its 1.4 million members to stop buying Disney products or at- tending its theme parks. The 250-member panel criti- cized "Growing Up Gay a book for teen-agers published by Disney- owned Hyperion Press, and Disney's acquisition of Miramax, which then distributed the movie "Priest a film about a gay cleric. TORONTO (AP) - Illicit drug use in the military has plunged nearly 90 percent since 1980, thanks to a get-tough policy and declining drug use in American society, a study says. Cigarette smoking has dropped by one-third in the same period, the report says. The rate of heavy drink- ing showed a smaller drop, which was attributed to changes in mili- tary demographics. Around The World PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Cambodia's king says only over- whelming public support would per- suade him to pardon a Khmer Rouge guerrilla leader implicated in the deaths of 2 million Cambodians during the 1970s who is now nego- tiating peace with the government. King Norodom Sihanouk said in an interview that he believes lead- ers of the Khmer Rouge regime should by tried by an international court for crimes against humanity. GROZNY, Russia (AP) - Boris Yeltsin criticized his security chief for how he handled the Chechnya crisis, raising doubts about a truce signed earlier in the breakaway re- public. The president also denied wide- spread reports he needs heart sur- gery. Yeltsin's comments came dur- ing a television interview in his Kremlin office intended to dispel ru- mors that his health is failing.

Kellum Senior Writer A state law recently passed against counterfeiting has now made it much easier for state and local officials to en- force counterfeiting laws. ECU officials plan to use this law to its fullest extent in preventing the mar- keting of illegal ECU merchandise. As- sistant Athletic Director Lee Workman said that this issue is of particular con- cern to the athletic department because so much of the ECU merchandise is ath- letically related. "We can find that athletic pro- grams and their success really drive the merchandise sales. As our athletic pro- gram is growing, and the exposure is grow- ing, the marketing potential is greater, and there are some people who might try to take advan- tage of that market- ing potential Work- man said. All of ECU'S merchandise is li- censed by the Colle- giate Licensing com- pany, which also li- censes many other colleges and univer- sities.

Kellum Senior Writer The first Career Day of the year took place on Tuesday in the General Classroom building and elicited a posi- tive reaction from the companies par ticipating and those involved in orga- nizing the event. There were 66 employers present an increase from last year's number of 58 companies. Dr. James Westmoreland, director of career ser- vices, said that his department was happy with the turnout. "We were so pleased that we had such a great cross-representation of different employers Westmoreland said. Career Day was an event that had been in the planning for some time. The staff at Career Services say that they always begin next year's Career Day planning as soon as this year's is over, hoping to im- prove on next year's event even more. This year's Career Day was the result of good participa- tion from the com- panies and the hard work of many people here. "We were real pleased with the stu- dent involvement and the faculty in- volvement. Many employers com- mented on that" Westmoreland said.

Graduate students travel rough road Transitions not easy second time around Jennifer Barnes Staff Writer Students preparing to undergo the transition from undergraduate school to graduate school can ben- efit from the advice of other gradu- ate students. Deanya Lattimore is a graduate student majoring in Rhetoric and Composition. She is planning to con- tinue her education by going for her Ph.D and then she intends to teach. Lattimore knows firsthand how the stress of graduate school differs from undergraduate school. "The work load is a lot harder Lattimore said. "We have about eight or nine hours of homework a week An undergraduate's main prob- lem is usually just the classes, but that changes later on. Lattimore now realizes how much is really expected of a graduate student. "We are trying to get published, teach, take classes, we do the busy work for regular teachers and some of us are working for our Ph.D Lattimore said. "It's like we have the regular workload of a teacher, plus the load of a student If students are thinking that it might be easier if they went some- where else, don't be so sure. Lattimore thinks that the faculty is one thing that makes ECU a little more bearable. "Others schools say that you are graduate students, so they expect you to be able to do it yourself Lattimore said. "We have caring in- structors who are really good about helping you, and this makes it seem somewhat easier For undergraduates preparing to start graduate school, it can be a scary situation. Still, as long as stu- dents understand what is going to be expected of them, and they are ready for the challenge, then it all doesn't seem quite as bad. Jeremy Jordan, a sophomore major g in computer science, said he is well aware of what awaits him. "I realize that graduate school is going to be so much more difficult than it is now Jordan said. "Still, I know that as long as I keep my pri- orities in order, that the experience will only improve my abilities, and not disprove my capabilities For those undergraduates still worried about what is to come. Lattimore has some suggestions for students. First, she suggests getting in the habit of coming to class. In gradu- ate school you can't cut; you are ex- pected to be in class every day. Sec- ond, Latimore said students should start using good time management skills. She added that procrastination is detrimental to success. Lattimore also suggested that placing pride u your presentations was a good idei. Finally, Lattimore said students; should start thinking about interests: in their field. She said students should not follow a certain path be- cause they think that is where the jobs are. Lattimore recommended doing what one enjoys. Lattimore reassures that stui dents will question whether they caji cope with the stress. "Some people do have a hard time dealing with the stress Lattimore said.

As a result, the Wake County school system decided that the dance would be banned from physi- cal education classes. Sue King, as- sistant superintendent for curricu- lum and instruction, ruled that the dance and lyrics were inappropri- ate. On Monday, administrators from Davis Drive Elementary re- fused to comment further on the issue. The Wake County Board of Education also said that to com- ment on this matter right now would be "frivolous" due to the seriousness of Hurricane Fran. The Macarena consists of vari- ous hand motions, a shake of the hips, a hop and a turn. "I would teach it said Andrea Woodson, a physical education in- structor at Estes Hill Elementary School in Chapel Hill. Recreational dance, including line, folk and square dancing, is in- corporated into the curriculum at Estes Hill El- ementary. The � lesson plan for second graders focuses on indi- vidual, rhythmic dancing an learn- ing to keep count. Woodson sees the body movements of the Macarena as simply part of the Spanish cul- ture. "When you learn to dance in certain cultures, they advise you to move your hips Woodson said. "Since this is a multicultural school, I think it would be appro- priate Parents said there were bigger problems than the dance in schools. Sue King, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, ruled that the dance and lyrics were inappropriate. "Can the child read and write?" asked Barbara Hoover, Chapel Hill Parent-Teacher in i m i Association member. Unlike Davis Drive El- ementary, cer- tain groups have showcased the Macarena with- out inciting con- troversy. Not only did the U.S. women's gym- nastics team in- clude the Macarena in their routine, but last spring the dance was taught to N.C. teachers in a state- wide workshop. "Teachers are simply trying to find things that would interest the students Minge said. "But you al- ways run risks Hoover just laughed. "What's �next? Square dancing?"

She worked for guest services at the Grand Floridian Beach Resort as- sisting guests during their stay, sell- ing tickets and making dinner reser- vations. While working at Walt Disney World, students stay in two- or three- bedroom furnished apartments with other students. "It's a wonderful opportunity to meet other college students from across the country and to develop better social skills Miller said. "Stu- dents should take this opportunity to see what it's likt They should defi- nitely go to the prt entation. It's won- derful working for a wonderful com- pany. Disneyworld is known all over the world. People's faces just light up when you say it and to be a part of that is great" The presentation is scheduled for Oct 1 in the General Classroom Build- ing, room 1032 at 7 p.m. For further information students may contact the cooperative education department. CRIME from page 1 ties do crime reports on a weekly ba- sis, and while their methods of com- piling the reports are similar to our own, some of our major policies dif- fer. In UNC-Chapel Hill's student pub- lication, The Daily Tar Heel, the crime report section is called "Police Roundup "We get the information for our 'roundup' by going down to the Chapel Hill Police station and look- ing through police reports stacked on a table news writer Heather Jernigan said. Similar to the production proce- dures at TEC, the responsibility of handling crime reports at The Daily Tar Heel rests on different individu- als. "The same person doesn't handle it every week Jernigan said. "We ro- tate One of the main complaints stu- dents have had about TECs "Crime Scene" is that the some of the crimes reported "aren't really crimes and deal with things no one really cares about" There is a reason for that. The infor- mation comes from actual police re- ports, and major crimes are not re- ported everyday. "We have had that complaint sometimes, too Jernigan said. "So, now we try to just report real crimes and not too much trivial stuff One of the major differences be- tween TECs "Crime Scene" and other schools' crime reports is that other schools include names of both victims and perpetrators in their compila- tions. The Daily Tar Heel , The Maneater (University of Missouri at Columbia and The Daily Beacon (University of Tennessee at Knoxville) all disclose names. "We just feel like it's a matter of public record Maneater Editor-in- Chief Carmel Snyder said. "We do have people who call and beg us not to use their names, but our policy is no exceptions Snyder said there have been spe- cial circumstances under which the Maneater staff has omitted names, like in the case of a rape or one special instance where an international stu- dent might have been deported if his name had been used. "But we usually do include names, and that's probably why stu- dents enjoy reading them Snyder added. Snyder said the crime report seg- ment of The Maneater is not one of her favorites. "I don't really like doing it Snyder told TEC. "Years ago one of our editors did away with the segment completely, but later someone rein- stated it Recently we had a situation during production where we had too ough many news stories and not eno space in the paper, so we cut out (jfte "Police Blotter" section to make room. When the paper came out, we had so many students calling and ask- ing why we took it out We had ho idea they liked it that much 2800 E. 10th St Easlgate Shopping Center Across From Highway Patrol Behind Stain Glass Mon. -Fri. 9-6 Walk-ins Anytime 752-3318 ELTORO Mu'tlklrStyitySkopp IcrkrlStyk Pirate Special Say PIRATES & tft A A Get Kair Cut for 1II1 J7 Every time V" iWW Haircut ROU OVER BEETHOYEH!

"i PRICE WITH PRESENTATION OF THIS COUPON P I R A T E S m II CAREER from page 1 have everything they need and get around okay, and to assist them in making it an easy process for thm to meet students Austin said. The companies that TEC talked to said that the graduate hosts had been a great help, and had been well prepared to perform their duties. "We had an orientation session last week to let us know which com- pany we were working with, and we got in contact with them, so it's been planned for a while Austin said. One of the companies repre- sented at Career Day was Aerotek. They said they had gotten a positive response from the event and just wished they had been placed closer to the center of the action, rather than at the end of the hallway. Doug Wise is a contracts manager with Aerotek. "We've seen some great candi- dates already. We don't have a good position here, but we've seen some good people so far. There's a great diversity of people here in this school, md that's exactly why we're here Wise said. Mike Cole, another contracts manager with Aerotek and an ECU graduate, agreed that the Career Day had definitely been worthwhile. He said that Aerotek had participated in Career Day before and had always gotten promising results, but that they would like to improve on their num- bers even more. "We have approximately 2,000 internal employees, and three or four are from East Carolina. We would like to get some more people from East Carolina in the company Cole said. The number of participants alone indicates the event seems to have been well received by the companies and students alike, but Westmoreland said that it is only the first step for stu- dents. Career Services can help them make the most of their initial contact with the companies, and the compa- nies themselves encouraged a follow- up. "A lot of the employers stressed to the students the importance of being registered with Career Ser- vices Westmoreland said. After registering and attending an orientation. Westmoreland said, the students are eligible to sign up for individual interviews with any com- panies which caught their interest during Career Day. "They need to come to Career Services and attend ar, orientatn session Westmoreland said. Career Services is located at 701 E. Fifth St. and will have orientation sessions on September 26th at 2 p.m. and the 27th at 3 p.m. There will also be other orientations scheduled in the future, and other Career Day events which will focus on Health and Edu- cation careers, which will be held in November and February respectively.

Arlington Beside Boulevard Bagel 355-0008 LAW from page 1 lowing example. The advantage of the state law is that it is much easier to en- force. 'The way the federal law was writ- ten, it did not give the state and local agencies what they needed to go in and enforce the law. The state law is very spe- cific Workman said. The enforcement will include not only the ECU police and officials, but also the Greenville police. "The University is an integral part of the Greenville community and we as the Greenville Police Department will make every effort to preserve the integ- rity of the University by assisting them in eliminating the sale of counterfeit col- legiate merchandise and other counter- feit items that affect the community as a whole said Blair Carr of the Greenville Police Department For consumers, especially at games, it is important to know that there are several ways to tell if the merchandise is legit or not They should look for an offi- cial products licensed label, a manufacturer's name and a trademark designation. In addition to these and other signs, consumers should also pay attention to the sellers of the merchan- dise themselves and where they are sell- ing. if someone is walking around with shirts over their arm. or selling merchan- dise out of their trunk, it is most likely- counterfeit andor unlicensed Work- man said. There is obviously a financial issue involved, not only for the school who can lose profit to counterfeiters, but also other organizations who legitimately sell ECU merchandise. "One part of this also is to protect the retailers, who are selling licensed products Workman said. In addition to the economic aspect there is also the concern that counter feiters may not represent the university in a positive way. "Counterfeiters may not product the quality of merchandise that the uni- versity does, and they might use images or words that are negative or derogatory. That's not the image the college wank to project" Workman said.

Experts have described Hurricane Fran as the worst storm to ever come inland North Carolina since Hurri- cane Hazel in the early 50s. It has been three weeks since Greenville and the ECU community felt the first blow from Hurricane Fran and for most, the effects have subsided. For others, the headaches have just begun. If you've been watching the news, reports of contin- ued flooding has run rapid throughout the eastern part of the state. Most towns along the Neuse, Pamlico and Tar Rivers have been heaviest hit as flood waters from the upstream Triangle area have flowed to the plains of Pitt and Lenoir counties. Kinston, along with other cit- ies close to the rivers, are coping with flooded streets, busted sewer systems, and the inability of the residents to return to their homes. You can't stop there. The Triangle is starting to get back on its feet after days upon days without power and Topsail Island has a threat of being condemned. So basi- cally North Carolina, from the Triangle eastward, was considered candidate for disaster area status. The visit of President Clinton to the Tar Heel state brought the talks of not whether the area needed federal aid, but rather how much the government can give to the hurricane victims. Along with Governor Jim Hunt and Senator Jesse Helms, Clinton has asked Congress to add another $290 million to supplement the $1.2 billion that has already been shelled out in the aftermath. It's about time. We know that this process of clean- ing up can't be completed overnight; but three weeks after the worst storm of the century, you would think the process of finding relief funds shouldn't be a prob- lem in the most powerful nation on Earth. I think it shouldn't take our government that long to react, espe- cially in an election year. Let's look closer. True, most of these effects were unforeseen, but when rivers are overflowing their banks and threats of severe showers are in the forecast for the same area, you would think the process of aid would speed up a tad to prevent hardship. There's no problem with the amount given to the stricken areas, but one would have to be concerned with the priorities of our federal government when it takes longer to help our citizens than it does for a foreign country' to receive financial aid from the very citizens who pay trie taxes that give these countries aid. v The East Carolinian i � torn 0$ & Brandon Waddcll.

For information, hi (919) 328-6366�� Election '96 Editor's note: These two columns are the third in a series of political issues columns that will run through. November. TEC s goal is to give the student body information relevant to the upcoming elections. Today's topic is public education. Larry Freeman Opinion Columnist Thanks to the President, 155,100 students in North Carolina can benefit from his innovative student loan reforms. Steve Higdon Opinion Columnist In 1995, the Department of Education stated that one in two Americans had a serious reading deficiency. education . Clinton fTfe$l Let s say you were a big, bad politician and you wanted to pick an enemy. Would you pick one that was strong? Or would you pick one that was not as strong, one that could not respond, one that could not hurt you? The Republicans have found such a defenseless group to attack: America's students. Let's look at the facts. Besides Clinton's obvious accom- plishments (316,00 new jobs and a 42 unemployment rate in N.C. alone), he has looked out for you. the student Thanks to the President, 155,100 students in North Carolina can ben- efit from his innovative student loan reforms. President Clinton also created the effective Americorps program, in which over 45,000 volunteers have served their communities while earning money to go to college. He has increased the number of Pell Grants for needy students Re- nublicans tried to slash this too). Even better, the President made college loans more affordable for 2.8 million students with his improvements in student loans, including a proposal that won't let the lenders take more than a certain percentage out of your post-college paychecks. Let's see what the Republicans have to offer. How about our Congressman Walter Jones, Jr.? Instead of serving the interests of our prestigious university, he has voted with Speaker Newt Gingrich 95 percent of the time, including 99 percent of the time on the "Contract With America Folks, that's not a Congressman. That's a puppet! It's time we elect someone like George Parrott a man who will look out for ECU, and not the radical right's extrem- ist agenda. How about our other friend, N.C. Senate candidate "Trailer Park Tom" Lamprecht This guy never met a cut in education he didn't like. Why the nickname? Pitt County schools are falling apart The walls are peel- ing, the ceilings are crumbling, the heat is stifling. We had an opportunity to fix some of these slum-like schools with a multi- million dollar school bond, but Lamprecht shamelessly orches- trated its defeat and now, many Pitt County students get their education in a trailer. Mr. Lamprecht even thinks that a six percent payraise for our teachers is too much He attacked the N.C. Senate's efforts to raise teacher salaries. Heck, our teach ers deserve a 15 percent raise, but it is antieducation people like Lamprecht that have ideas like taking taxpayer dollars from public schools and giving them to wealthy private schools. Let's keep Sen. Ed Warren, a man who has fought tire- lessly to ensure that ECU gets the funding it deserves. His edu- cational record is impeccable. As for his opponent's record on education? Well, just call him Tom Lampshade. The lights are on, but nobody's home. -5 If protecting education is liberal, then I'm as liberal as they come. I will end today by somewhat quoting Hollywood. When it comes to Republicans and education, it's "lights, cameras, and NO action For many, education is the key to the fulfillment of the American dream. Frederick Douglas, noted African-Ameri- can Statesman and former slave wrote "That for a man to deny himself an education is for a man to enslave himself for without an education no man is free Neither major politi- cal party would argue that education is unimportant. There is however a great debate on how to best implement a sound education. In 1995, the Department of Education stated that one in two Americans had a serious reading deficiency. Obvi- ously something must be done. There is more to the issue ot education than funding. There are the issues of choice, com- petition and accountability. It may sound simpl. Why not let schools compete? One would assume that the educational community would want what is best for students. However, in research for this ar- ticle I found a recent incident that shows a that the educa- tional establishment is afraid of competition in education. John Shanahan invented a series of audio tapes designed to improve reading skills. The program used phonics music and flash cards to teach reading. The idea of phonics had been abandoned for whole language methods. Shanahan's series called "Hooked on Phonics" was manufactured by his company Gateway Educational products. Shannon would see his company blossom into a $133 million-a-year industry. Spectacular for a product that Shanahan developed for his own son who was basically illiterate after attending public schools. What Shanahan did not realize was that he was putting himself at odds with very powerful interests. One was the International Reading Association which was founded in 1956 This organization was founded as a response to controversy surrounding a book called Why Johnny Can't Read. Pub- lished in 1955 the book called for a return to phonics. An- other adversary was the National Education Foundation. The NEA is the largest teachers' union in the country. In 1992, one of every' five delegates in the Democratic National Convention was sent by the NEA. Also the NEA was a driving force behind the organization of the Depart ment of Education in 1979. Former education secretary Bill Bennet called it "an act of political cynicism, a payoff to the union Shanahan would see his company crushed under the po- litical hand of the FTC and media The Federal Trade Commis- sion cited the company with making false advertising claims. After rewriting this article three times, I finally saw that i could only touch on this incident I would like to encourage readers to check out the full story in the April 1996 issue of Success. Political lobbyists and unions should not be allowed to dominate educational polices to the detriment of America's Children! With this kind of governmental and political interest control dominating the country it is no wonder that people ScUto �etten&tt6e Student leadership deserves compensation Student fees should not pay SGA tuition To the Editor, ! On behalf of the entire student body of apathetic students at East Caro- lina University, I protest the meeting of the Student Government Association in which they voted in a salary, full tuition payment and books for themselves, paid (or by our student fees. Student fees have been spiraling upward for years. Now these kids have taken up the jeedy ways of the corrupt adults who i this rotten capitalist country today Dy creating a porkbarrel to get them- selvps on the gravy train. What right do they have to rob us blind of our money? One of the rea sons that this entire country has gone to hell is because our elected officials have lost sight of the fact that "a pub- lic office is a public trust" All they see in it today is money, greed and power for themselves, and the retaining of the right to control, abuse and spend other people's money. How long can we, the working class, while we slave our lives away for low wages, tolerate having this kind of arbitrary policy shoved down our throats by the elitists on all levels of our phony, undeserving govern- ments? As adults in this world, are we going to be resigned to endure the same corrupt leadership that our parts and forebears endured simply because no one gave, or gives enough of a damn to do something about it? Wake up and get a life! Richard Becker Senior Political Science To the Editor, 1 am writing in response to some recent criticism concerning the SGA executive officers and their tuition and fees. As a senior, I have seen little par- ticipation by the overall student body in organizations on campus. I am only now realizing how little the average student does outside of class time. My admiration of the student lead- ers on campus increases every day. These people have been elected by us to represent our school on the highest level. The SGA officers have been do- ing a marvelous job and deserve to be compensated. The last time I checked, only two people wanted to be SGA President Maybe it is only two people i who had the initiative to go after the position. As a University, we support ath- letes who prove time and time again they are above the law. Athletes who do represent the entire student body whether they realize it or not We sup- ply free tuition for their hard efforts in athletics and have some how sic pushed aside the true student repre- sentatives. Have we forgotten what academics is all about? It has a lot to do with leadership. Our student gov- ernment leadership has gone without compensation for too long. Another problem is the people who take time out of their day to orga nize an opposition to the paying of these fees. These people are using their energies in the wrong place. It" flu would spend their time working for a better student government rather than tearing it down, common goals could be reached. The time consuming work by these officers should be supported by free tuition no matter where the money comes from. These positions will become more competitive as time goes by and student government will rise to the level that exemplifies a top University. Let us build something rather than hampering progress.

Wright, whose writing ex- plores such themes as the Afro-American historical experi- ence, personal bi- ography and the human spiritual quest, earned a strong educa- tional back- ground through his years at the University of Cali- fornia at Berke- ley, Union Theo- logical Seminary in New York, and Rutgers University. Within these academic circles, 'Chew on This" lecture se- ries: " vVhat is the Future of Pales- tine?' with Yousef Sansour at noon in Mendenhall Underground. ��������������a Travel-Adventure Film Series: Leg- ends of Louisiana, with Sandy Mortimer at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Hendrix Theatre. A theme din- ner will be served at 6 p.m. in the Mendenhall Great Room. Faculty Recital: Mary Burroughs, horn, John B. O'Brien, piano, and Perry Smith, tenor, at 8 p.m. in A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall. Wright found an avenue to explore his varied interests (everything from the anthropology of Africa and the Ameri- cas to Drama to theology), all of which have affected his creative endeavors. In fact Wright's eclectic personal interests and passions are what dis- tinguishes him as a unique literary figure. Aside from searching for a de- fined literary black culture, Wright assimilates classical European writers, such as Dante, into African and Na- tive American spiritual motifs to create his own distinctive vision. But Wright doesn't stop with cultural thematics. He strives to make his poetry carry the feel, mood, and rhythm of the culture on which he is writing. He works to make his poetry musically represent the Af- rican American culture, much like jazz. Wright's first major book, The Homecoming Singer (1971), is an exemplary auto See POET page 18 Jennifer Coleman Senior Writer Jay Wright Grab your neru jackets and bring your lonely hearts to see Auditorium at 8 p.m. this Friday night as part of the celebration over $100 but is priceless to me) is on my Christmas listihree times.

Agents of Good Roots (above) and the band yeP! will provide live music for Club members. Friday nights at ECU won't ever be the same now that bands have been given the abil- ity to jam on-campus. The word is that you don't even have to go downtown to catch a vibe. Instead, you can just look out your dorm window tomorrow night. At about 4 p.m two of Greenville's downtown favorites will be play- ing in Mendenhall Student Center as part of The F.A.N. (Friday All-Nighter) Club. The last F.A.N. Club meeting was cancelled by our good friend, Hurricane Fran. If you've ever gone to Peasant's Cafe, you might have caught a show by the band called yeP If you have, you remember them. If you haven't, then go to Mendenhall and you'll catch a show that will be hard to forget. They will be taking the stage first, so be sure to notice how big their vocals are. They're very tight. Once you've heard yeP take time to no- tice where you are and what's going on. Events like the F.A.N. Club, sponsored by the ECU Student Union Popular Entertainment Com- mittee, take charge. They keep people close to campus on the weekends, keep traffic rolling through Mendenhall, and keep people at the foot- ball games on Saturday. Everyone benefits from this. It's a good thing. Speaking of the benefits students can receive, the guests of honor Friday night will be Agents of Good Roots, who have come straight off a spot on the recent H.O.R.D.E. tour. After hitting the stage, the Richmond quartet will blow your mind. I had a chance to talk to the band's lead singer and classically trained guitarist, Andrew Winn. He told me about the tour, jamming with Blues Traveler, and the road ahead. "We started playing in Richmond about four years ago Winn said. I was amazed by his raspy voice, one that he wasn't exactly born with. An- drew was involved in a skiing accident a while ago and it changed his voice forever, which in turn affected the band's sound. "As we progress further and further, we have to keep checking our enthusiasm Winn contin- ued. "We're touring five nights a week, it's tough, but it's tight" At least this band doesn't take their talents for granted.

Comedy Zone with Willie Stratford at the Attic. i: Sean Connery proved that he's larger than life last summer when he played a dragon? That's right; Connery used his classic voice to bring the computer-generated Draco to full life in Dragonheart, a box-office dis- appointment that deserves a second chance. This fairy tale story involves a bitter knight named Bowen (played by a gravelly-throated Dennis Quaid) who vows to destroy every dragon in the land because he believes a dragon heart transformed young prince Einon, whom Bowen was sworn to protect, into a ruthless tyrant. When Bowen finally confronts Draco, the two eventually become comrades and the film turns into the first buddy movie featuring a knight and a dragon. Despite some rather violent moments, Dragonheart works best if viewed through a child's eyes. The bulk of the film is filled with more silly mo- ments than serious ones (a scene in which Bowen is dragged through a forest by Draco's tail perfectly exemplifies this point). However, these silly moments ultimately make Dragonheart an innocent escapist piece. The film's more intriguing elements center around Bowen's struggle to uphold the duties expected of a knight. Director Rob Cohen, along with co-writers Patrick Read Johnson and Charles Edward Pogue, do manage to capture the glory and virtue of knighthood far better than First Knight. one Connery film that needs to be forgotten. But the biggest reason to see Dragonheart is the dragon itself. Al- though Hollywood's use of computer technology is not yet perfected, Draco is an awe-inspiring wonder to behold, gloriously capturing the beauty and terror one would expect from a dragon.

He even resorts to trickery now and then. "What I like is to keep the au- dience on edge he says, "by hav- ing red herrings or false moments where someone turns around and the music goes Hanngg' and you think, 'This is it "When the real thing hap- pens he says, he winds down the music to create "a sense of false security. It's a good device for keep- ing the audience's attention With The X-Files going into its fourth season this fall. Snow's in- terest isn't waning one bit. "Each one is like a mini-movie. It's not drudge work. It's always in- teresting and the quality week to week is so high. It just doesn't get boring he said. Add to his list Millennium: a new one-hour weekly series also from The X-Files creator Chris Carter. Millennium premieres Oct. 25, taking The X-Files time slot on Fri- day at 9 p.m while The X-Files moves to Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Snow, a graduate of the Juilliard School who recently turned 50 and became a grandfa- ther last month, said the music will be different for the two shows. Unlike The X-Files. Snow came up with the theme for Millennium on the first try. A violin, he said, plays a melody of hope, heaven and "Music is always there, under their dialogue, almost like the third person in the hell over dark percussion that sounds like big Japanese drums. "The melody is very spiritual in a funny way. It has the mourn- ful quality of a mass by Bach or a Handel oratorio he said. Millennium focuses on a crime- fighter who visualizes the crimes in order to solve them. "The pilot is really out there Snow said. "A crazy guy knocks his victims out, sews their eyes and lips to- gether, and bur- ies them alive. The hero brings the police to where they are buried. They �� � rescue some It's dark, mysteri- ous and unsettling to say the least When composing for The X- Files, Snow writes music as if it's actually a character. Especially when the two FBI agents who in- vestigate paranormal happenings that involve homicides, oddball oc- currences, UFOs and alien visita- tions are talking. "Music is always there, under their dialogue, almost like the third person in the room Snow said. "That way, when fantastic things start popping up all over the place, there is room for the music. Hav- ing percussion with no melody and a low sustained note on bassoon are both effective as atmospheric mu- sic He had to write five themes for The X-Files before he got it right, taking suggestions from Carter to keep it interesting and unexpected. He said "by luck and a fabu- lous accident, I had it. within half an hour. n room. � Mark Snow, composer for the X-Files "I put my hand on the key- board and heard these repeats. 1 thought. Boy, that's really cool. Let's keep that as rhythm. Now what would be the coolest sound or instrument over this? "I tried sax, guitar, trumpet, voice, children's choir - everything. On one of my machines, I had a whistle sound. My wife came in. She's a fantastic whis- tler. She whistled with it. I sampled her and combined the two and that's what it is now The theme was included in The X-Files: Songs in the Key of X. a CD released last spring that also in- cluded many performers doing songs inspired by the series. A sec- ond CD, The Truth and the Light, which features the show's under- score, musical motifs and dialogue by co-stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, is set for release in October.

Weil, if you're ECU it's a big win against a SEC team on their home field. The Parent's Weekend contest kirks off at 4 p.m and brings a Golden Knight team into Greenville hun- gry for a win. UCF has lost it's past three games in it's first season as a full member of Division l-A, and ECU Coach Steve Logan knows that they are ready to come into Dowdy-Ficklen and knock off the Pirates. "They are going through a little bit of growing pains right now Logan said. "But at some point they are going to rise up and bite somebody big time The UCF offense is led by sophomore quarter- back Daunte Culpepper. The Ocala, Fla. native, was one of the top rated quarterbacks in the nation just two years back. Florida and Flroida State showed in- terest but backed ofF when Culpepper had some aca- demic troubles. "This young man was the number one quarter- back in the state of Florida Logan said. "He's good. If he gets unwound and gets into a rhythm, he can win a football game single handedly Culpepper has thrown for over 600 yards this season thus far. He is the bulk of the UCF offense, accounting for most of the Golden Knight yards this season. Culpepper is a very mobile quarterback, al- most like Anthony Wright who the Pirates faced just last week. Coach Logan knows his Pirate defense will have to keep their eye on him. "When you are 6'4 230 pounds and can run a 4.6 40-yard dash, and throw the ball like he can, he can go out and win a game on any Saturday Logan said. If Logan seems very cautious of this UCF team, believe him. Just two years ago, ECU had to use a Tabari Wallce interception late in the game to pre- serve the victory at home. ECU'S home winning streak is on the line, and ECU Tight End Scott Richard knows that Central Florida is going to come into Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium fired up, and Richards feels that the Pirates are going to have to be up for the challenge. "When you look at Central Florida, you have to realize how enthusiastic they are going to play. Some- times we get into a lull, when we play at home, and I really hope that changes Richards said. ECU will be looking to get Scott Harley into the game early. Harley, who rushed for a school record 291 yards against USC, will be trying to add on to his performance from last weekend. "I just try to run the ball hard Harley said. "We just have to install a plan for UCF, and hopefully we can go out and play just as well as we did last week arley rides right past opponent's r-i �, � :l. i�j.iu �u.ii. i m�m ���! �� � - mmwwmMMaMMaBmmimaaaaaaaimarrwrTrBMMMMMMMBMMMmm'MammWwmmmmmM Jon Lautcrer End Zone Writer Records were meant to be broken. Just ask Scott Harley. When this sophomorefullback rushed for 291 yards against South Carolina last week, he broke a single game rushing record. In 1993 Junior Smith set the record with 282 yards, but then Harley rushed past that record in rainy, rifcddy conditions in the 23-7 victory against the Gamecocks. He also tied the record for most carries in a game with 41. But when Harley speaks of his performance, he gives the credit to his teammates. "I have to give credit where credit is due - to the offensive ine, the defense and special teams, because we couldn't have had the bail to produce the offensive yards Hariey said. The win over USC brings the) team's record to 2-1 and leaves Barley's rushing record at 509 yards with two touchdowns. He is averaging 6.5 yards per carry and says he just tries to get the ball up the field as best he can. "Whatever play they call, I just try to run real hard and keep the bail north and south Harley said. Last season Hariey was the team's second leading rusher with 263 yards on 61 carries. In this season alone, he almost doubled his yards in just three games. With his thoughts fixed on the dash with Central Florida this Saturday, he points out that they can't think what is going to happen the rest of the season. They must take it game-by-game. "We're just trying to win every game possible and just take it one day at a time Hariey said. "Ailwecan think about is Central Florida right now, and Ifs hard to say about the games later on Being on the road the past two Saturdays has been tough on the Pirates, but according to ilariey when they travel they try to think of every stadium as their own. "Every stadium we play at is ours also Hariey said. "And if you take the crowd out of it you could have a good game, so we take those things and try to win every game When the Golden Knights roil into town, the game plan will include trying to contain UCFs Quarterback Daunte Culpepper. "(Central Florida's quarterback stands out Hariey said. "They have a couple of good guys on defense so we just have to install a plan this week. Hopefully it will work, and just go out there and piay football like we did last week Hariey is no stranger to breaking records. Last sea- son against Temple he set a freshman rushing record with 175 yards and 38 carries. He received the chance to start last season when Jerris McPhail suffered an arm injury. And with his record last season, he is weil on his way to rewriting the books. "I just try to come out here and try to play football and win games Hariey said.

SUNDAY 1-5 . mgWaWWI lll�l"ll The End Zone Thursday, September 26,1996 ogan hopes fans will stay for entire game Fans should get fired up for all home games and cheer team on Amanda Ross End Zone Editor When 4 p.m. rolls around this Saturday, where will you be? Head Coach Steve Logan hopes you'll be in the stands. When ECU opened up its season against ETSU three weeks ago, 25,000 people filled the stands, but Dowdy-Ficklen holds 35,000. So where is everybody? It is vital that the stands be filled for every home game no matter who the opponent is. Logan spoke to his play- ers about the enthusiasm they should possess during home games, but the players brought up concern of their own. "I was talking to our play- ers about playing with emotion at home Logan said. "What we have done the past two or three years is play with a lot of emotion on the road and not quite so much emotion at home. One of them (players) said, 'Coach, we need our fans to get fired up when we come out The players know how important it is to see the cheering fans support them. "Sometimes we get into a lull when we play at home Tight End Scott Richards said. "I re- ally hope that changes. It's hard to see the home "I wish we could get the fans in early and have them stay late" � Scott Richards, Tight End team crowd leave you. I wish we could get the fans in early and have thei stay late The Pirates will be seeking their ninth con- secutive home win when the Golden Knights take to the field. Emotions will be high on both side- lines. "When you look at Central Florida, you have to realize how enthusiastic they are going to play Richards said. To get pumped up for this game, Logan gave his team a special assignment before the start of the game. "I really challenged our football team that this coming Saturday we get into the locker room pregame, set ourselves cranked up and come out and play emotional football in our homestands Logan said. Richards believes if the players are excited about the game then the fans will be equally pumped up. "If they (fans) can see the excitement on the field they can feel it up in the stands Richards said. After two road games, the players are looking forward to returning to a crowd that is in their favor. "If it doesn't rain and we get the stadium full it will be real nice Noseguard Travis Darden said. "That long road trip, and the rain wasn't fun. It's real good to be back home this week The recent joining of ECU to Conference USA had a lot to do with the fans. The officials took into account that the Pirates have an excellent amount of people traveling to away games, and that included the two Liberty Bowls. But for the program to progress further, fan support is a must. The fans might not Know it, but they contribute to the success of the football program. "We need a full stadium this Saturday Logan said. During Logan's press conference he stressed the importance of letting fans know, that the players need them to cheer on their team. Without the fans, the game just isn't the same. "On third down when our defense is on the field, (we need fans) to get up off their seats and get on their feet Logan said. Photo by ANN JivlDEN Lamont Burns acknowledges the crowd duringthe USC game. Forthe ECU program to keep moving forward, the support of the fans is necessary during all home games.

FAN from page 14 He told me that John Popper of Blues Traveler jammed with them at one of the H.O.R.D.E. dates and it was intense. That seems like an understatement. Other members of the band in- clude J.C. Cuhl on sax, Brian Jones on drums, and Stewart Myers on bass. Andrew met all of these guys as the years went by in college at James Madison University and Vir- ginia Commonwealth University, where he received his master's de- gree in classical guitar. Not only does this band sound tight, but they have degrees to back it up. The best thing about this band is their ability to improv. They move from place to place just by glanc- ing at each other's eyes. They in- stinctively know where the next beat will take them. Not only are they amazing to listen to, they're also fun. Every- one seems to "have a good time when these guys are around. Just by listening to Andrew talk to R.V. on WZMB's Roots show you can tell that the band loves Green- ville. As a matter of fact he pointed out on that show that other than his hometown, of Roanoke, VA, there was no other place that he loved to play more. With that kind of enthusiasm behind them, they should be able to rock the crowd at Mendenhall. So do yourself a favor and.check them out. Also, don't forget to stay for the pep rally afterwards where the ECU Cheerleaders, the Purple & Gold Dancers and our own Pirate mascot will stir up a frothing fan frenzy. Then go see Dennis Quaid kick dragon butt in Dragonheart, playing at Hendrix Theatre. Finally, all you wacky Pirate fans can bowl your hearts out during the open recreation hours from 10 p.m. un- til closing. Remember, have fun. BEATLES from page 14 Welcome back ECU students and faculty BOWEN LAUNDROMATS Bells Fork & Carolina East Center & WASH HOUSE th 111 E. 10th & 514 E. 14 Check out vaulable coupons for Bowen Cleaners on our home page at http:www.Bowen Cleaners, com something I never dreamed pos- sible. I get to see the Beatles in con- cert - well, as close to it as we can get anyway. "1954 The Tribute the most authentic Beatles tribute in the world, is coming to ECU for Parents' Weekend. They may not be the actual Beatles, but I guarantee before the night is over they'll have you believing that John Lennon isn't dead after all. "1964 The Tribute" has been exhaustingly researched so that the show is accurate down to the small- est detail. From the haircuts to the costumes to the sound of the music, the "faux" Fab Four recreate an ac- tual Beatles concert with only two major differences: orte, you can hear the music, and two, they play the songs completely. When the Beatles toured, they would often play just bits and pieces of their songs - a kind of montage, if you will - and left the stage after about 30 minutes. Not so with "1964 You'll hear the entire songs, just as they were recorded on the albums, and the concert lasts over an hour and a half. The band consists of Mark Benson (John Lennon), Gary Grimes (Paul McCartney), James Pou (George Harrison) and Greg George (Ringo Starr). These four have gone to amaz- ing lengths to make the show as plau- sible as it can be. Grimes, who is right-handed, learned to play guitar with his left hand so that his McCartney would be more believable. Even George's nose bears a striking resemblance to Starr's famous honker. Alistair Taylor, former president of Apple Records (the Beatle's record- ing company) remarked after seeing a performance, "the resemblance was uncanny, it sent shivers down my spine. It was just like the boys. Never have I seen another group go to such detail True Beatles fans will not be dis- appointed with the show's content The band chooses their setlist from a repertoire of over 50 Beatles hits, including: "Can't Buy Me Love "Eight Days A Week "Ticket To Ride "HelpI Want To Hold Your Hand "Twist And Shout "Nowhere Man and "Yesterday Their goal is to play the songs the way the Beatles did without adding anything from their own style. As Benson said in an interview with U. Magazine, a national college newspaper, "When people come to see our shows, they're paying to see the Beatles The way I see it, there are sev- eral ways to enjoy this show. I intend to begin the concert with my eyes closed, transporting myself back to 1964. I'm going to pretend I'm at an actual Beatles performance, and I'm going to scream and cry and dance and maybe even carry a sign that reads, "I want to have your baby, Paul Then, once my neighbors have stopped throwing things at me, I'll open my eyes and just enjoy the fan- tasy. Of course this isn't the real Beatles. But with a little imagination, no one will ever know. "1964 The Tribute" will per- form at ECU on Friday, Sept 24, at 8 p.m. in Wright Auditorium. Tick- ets are on sale at the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall Student Cen- ter. Ticket prices in advance are $15 for the general public. $12 for ECU faculty and staff, and $7 for ECU stu- dents.

You must prepare fruits and vegetables cor- rectly before storing them. For the best results, these simple suggestions are offered: � Refrigerate most vegetables except potatoes, mature onions, most winter squash, eggplant and rutabagas. These vegetables require cool dry stor- age. Most other vegetables require high- moisture storage. � For longest storage life, select high quality vegetables when shopping. And quality le.els will not be the same for all items in a package, so sort veg- etables as soon as possible. Eliminate decayed, used, bruised or soft ones im- mediately. � Wash and drain leafy veg- etables, store them in plastic bags or sealed plastic containers. Storing in sealed containers retains the moisture needed to keep leafy vegetables from wilting. After washing, drain vegetables thoroughly on paper towels. Too much .water produces brown spots on leaves and speeds decay. � Peppers, cabbage and other odorous foods should be wrapped or bagged to avoid transferring odors to other vegetables. Mushrooms should always be stored in paper bags, not plas- tic, for longer life. � Maintaining the refrigerator .section between 34�F and 40�F is best for food storage. Temperature controls should not be set so low that foods freeze. Freezing will cause most fruits and vegetables to tum brown and wilt � Fresh vegetables should be stored only for their recommended "times. When stored too long they brown, wilt and decay. Decaying food 'builds up water causing other stored foods to decay. Upon returning home from shop- ping, if s tempting to immediately store perishables in the refrigerator with every intention of preparing them properly for storage later. For crisper salads fight these temptations. FILES from page 12 POET from page 14 admired Jerry Goldsmith's atonal, percussion-filled score for Planet of the Apes and believed he could combine his diverse musical tastes to write scores. "I thought I had a good emo- tional response to films. I would see something which would make me feel a certain way and suggest a cer- tain kind of music he said. Snow'? wife, Glynn, sister to ac- tors Tyne and Tim Daly, encouraged their move to southern California 20 years ago. Snow still works for some pro- ducers he worked for before The X- Files. Last season, he composed or- chestral music for the miniseries Children of the Dust. And he'll write music for a November miniseries about the Titanic. "This is the best time for me, career-wise Snow said. "The X- Files is the hippest show out there now. And the music is getting par- ticular notice biographical work that examines an individual's development as an art- ist and a spiritual being. Themes ex- plored within this book include one's exclusion from mainstream (white) so- ciety, the failure of religion and religious rituals within the African American church, and the frustrations Wright's poetic persona feels towards the stan- dard, accepted bohemian black artists of the time. Other major publications by Wright include Soothsayers and Omens (1976), a collection of poems which places the poetic persona within a reli- gious or nistorica context; Dimensions of History (1976), which is a literary search for a collective self-understand- ing; and The Double Invention ofKomo (1980), which explores the ideological relations between the contemporary cosmopolitan and the traditions of Af- rica and the West Wright's more recent contributions to the literary scene include Selected Poems (1987), Elaine's Book (1988), and Boleros (1991). Wright's creative power is still go- ing strong to ihis day, as evidenced in his recent honor by the Academy of American Poets. On September of this year, the Academy named Wright the recipient of the 62nd Fellowship of the Academy of American Poets for his out- standing poetic accomplishments. Wright who has won other distinctions like a grant from the National Endow- ment for the Arts and an Ingram Merrill Foundation Award, received $20,000 with the Fellowship, which will allow him to focus further on his poetic craft ECU and the Greenville community are very lucky to have an accomplished writer such as Jay Wright visiting. Any writer, aspiring or accomplished, and any lover of poetry should take advan- tage of this fortunate opportunity to hear him speak. Interested persons can meet the writer at 3 p.m. on Oct 1 in the Greenville Museum of Art. Mr. Wright's reading will be at 7 p.m. in the Willis Building on 300 E. 1st St The reading will be followed by a reception and book sale. Both events are free and open to the general public. Future writers planned for the Writers Reading Series include Rafael Campo on Nov. 18, Margaret Randall on Dec. 2. Michael Collier on Jan. 27 Allan Gurganus on Feb. 13. and Sue Standing on March 24.

UKWO UlUllt. 19 Thursday, September 26,1996 The East Carolinian Volleyball player stands alone Kristen Woodruff Sean R. O'Brien Staff Writer ECU women's volleyball player Kristen Woodruff is in a class by her- self. The 6'0" middle blocker from Fuquay-Varina is the only senior on the team, as well as the captain. For her it means that this is a time she must step up and become a leader for the young Lady Pirates. It is a role that Woodruff is comfortable with and one she is willing to ex- cept. "I hope the team looks to me as a leader, as a role model, because 1 have been here longer than every- one else and I have been where they are Woodruff said. "I am not the type of person to abuse my role as a senior, 1 have to be an example, but 1 don't want to be an annoying ex- ample Freshman Julia D'Alo appreci- ates the advice and leadership that Woodruff can provide. "I have a ton of respect for Kristen D'Alo said. "She is the only senior on the team and I hold a pretty high regard for her as a player; she is very supportive The "96 squad is a young team with three freshmen, four sopho- mores and two juniors. The team has gotten off to a shaky start this sea- son with a record of 4-10, but that does not bother Woodruff; she has been there before. "This year has definitely been the best year for me Woodruff said. "We have the best potential and the best attitudes on this year's team compared to my previous three seasons When Woo- druff came to ECU as a freshman, the volleyball pro- gram was strug- gling under then tmmmmmmmmm Head Coach Martha McCaskill and finished the season at 11-24. Her sophomore season did not get much better under her second head coach in as many seasons. Gail Guttenberg. That season the Pirates finished 16- 17. Woodruff pointed out that this was a very difficult time in her ca- reer. "It was a very difficult and dis- appointing time in my career Woo- druff said. "When 1 was a freshman I had the coc -h I was recruited by and there was a certain amount of impressing that I had to do because I was worried about playing With so many coaching changes during her career. Woodruff had to adjust to new techniques . "To have to adjust to another coach is very difficult; you have to learn a new coaching philosophy, their way of playing, and every coach has their own special way they want things done The most difficult thing that Woodruff struggled with was the differ- ent styles of hit- ting that each coach had. "One coach told me to hit one way and an- other coach told me to hit a different way; it was hard to get used to Woo- druff said. Woodruff does not mind Watch your backl Cori Lawyer (21) takes it to her opponent in a match last week. Sun- day they will travel to Asheville to compete in the Puma Classic.

In Woodruff's junior season and Walker's first as coach, the team managed to finish fourth in the Co- lonial Athletic Association at 19-18 and had their first winning season since 1989. "1 am glad that all the changes have happened even though it has See VOLLEY page 20 When the ECU rugby team trav- eled to Blacksburg. Va. last weekend they knew they were facing some stiff competition. Besides Virginia Tech and ECU, two other teams, Blacksburg and Radford, made the trip to compete on the Hokies home turf. During games like these, the players go all out on the field, but usually become good friends after the game. According to Team Captain Mike Myers, the match started out as friendly but didn't end that way. "We took a pretty healthy beat- ing Myers said. The 45-5 pounding was reflective of ECU'S overall play against Virginia Tech. "Nobody seemed like they wanted to be out there Myers said. "Vir- ginia Tech wasn't more skilled than us; they just played technically better than us. Lack of experience was par- ticularly evident in the wings However, it was a player from the wing position, team Master-Secre- tary Kendal Jones, who had one of ECUs brighter mo- ments when he ripped off a 60- meter run. mil Myers also noted that another reason for the team's poor play was the lack of play- ers who couldn't make the game due to prior engatgments. This year's team has lost eight starting seniors, and the 25 man squad has yet to completely gel. The team will have to start play- ing up to their abilities soon as tour- nament time nears. The NCRU state tournament is fast approaching, the tournament will take Dlace near the end of October, around Fall Break in Raleigh. The field will include nearly all the colleges in N.C. In another up- coming match, ECU will get a rematch with USC, the team that knocked ECU out of the quarterfinals last semester. The team practices every Tuesday through Thurs- day on the fields "If anyone is interested, we'd love for them to come out � Todd Ward, Team President behind the Allied Health building.

"My first coach was all right: my second coach was a little better, but Coach Walker has been great Woodruff can see the difference that a good coach can make. In her second season with Walker, she can already see the impact that Walker's guidance is having. "She definitely knows the game and I have learned a lot from her Woodruff said. "She has high expec- tations for this program and 1 see her reaching those goals Not only does Woodruff see the changes but so do others. "Coach Walker has a lot of people supporting her and a lot of good players coming into the pro- gram and I believe this program is on the way up For Woodruff, she knows what she has to do in order to add to the success of the program and the team. She currently is second in the CAA in average blocks per game at 1.104, but she does not let that cloud the big picture - helping the team win. "I am glad that 1 am doing so well, but I would like to do better with everything else as well Woo- druff said. "You have to improve ev- ery year; that is a given, but I want to improve on becoming a better hit- ter and passer, as well as a blocker She knows, however, that her blocking is what will help the team the most. "My first job on the team is as a blocker and a defensive player Woodruff said. "I am blocking all over the net; that is what a blocker does: block the middle, on the left, on the right, all over the net Woodruff also knows she has other important roles to play on the team as well. "My second job is as a hitter and to hit the ball in all areas of the net Woodruff said. "I also have to serve as a decoy and hold the opposing blockers up in the air and freeze them in order for some- one else to go for a kill Woodruff will be a key to the success of the Pirates in the CAA this year. For her, winning the CAA would be the ultimate goal achieved thus far. "We are competitive in the CAA and we can beat every single team in the CAA Woodruff said. "We see ourselves as being able to win the CAA tournament this year and go on to the NCAA tourna- ment ECU will return home Monday night to host UNC-Greensboro at 7 p.m. in Minges.
