Across The State
T1LLERY, N.C. (AP) - An
Iredell County inmate serving a
10-year prison sentence on a co-
caine conviction was stabbed to
death in a shower stall as a guard
watched.
Dwayne Maurice Caldwell,
23, was stabbed in the chest, back
and right wrist with a homemade
blade Sunday afternoon.
HIGH POINT (AP) - Police
investigated the death of a mo-
torist during a head-on' collision
they believe resulted from drag
racing.
James Gilbert Tilley, 27, of
Archdale, died after his Nissan
collided with a Chevrolet Camaro
Wednesday afternoon on a road
near the Randolph and Davidson
county line, police said.
High Point Police Capt.
Steven Campbell said the
Chevrolet and Ford were side by
side, with the Camaro on the
wrong side of the road.
Across The Country
CARTERVILLE, Mo. (AP) -
A sheet-metal worker with only a
high school education, Joe
Cruzan reluctantly waged a battle
of national proportions to break
new legal ground in the right-to-
die movement
In the end, though, he was
just a father whose heart was bro-
ken beyond repair when a 1983
auto accident left his daughter
Nancy in a persistent vegetative
state. Without publicity, without
a fight in court, in the privacy of
his carport Joe Cruzan exercised
his own right to die.
He hanged himself.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -
New images of Jupiter's frozen
moon Europa are giving scien-
tists tantalizing hints that its frac-
tured crust of icy slabs may be
sliding on a layer of slush or even
water - the fundamental ingre-
dient for life.
The new images, taken by
the unmanned Galileo spacecraft
from 96,000 miles away, show its
surface dotted by a series of dark
spots that could be scars of slush-
spewing geysers.
Around The World
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - A
kidnapped Japanese executive
was found unharmed in an aban-
doned house Monday after a
Mexican policeman delivered a $2
million ransom in a nighttime
rendezvous with gunmen.
The kidnappers remained at
large with the ransom - un-
marked U.S. currency - but in-
vestigators believe they know
who committed the crime, said
Jose Luis Anaya Bautista, attor-
ney general in the district just
south of the border.
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)
- It was a crowning achievement
of sorts for former President
Carter.
He received Hungary's Order
of Merit Saturday for fostering bi-
lateral ties and returning St.
Stephen's bejeweled crown, a na-
tional symbol.
Participation low at polls
Voter turnout
lower than past
years
Jennifer Barnes
Staff Writer
Many students came out to vote
for their class officers during the
elections that were heid last week.
Unfortunately, the number of voters
and the number running for offices
were both low this year, and while
some of the offices were free from
the stress of competition, others
proved to be quite close.
Adrian Wright, the new fresh-
man president knows just how close
the battle for success can be. After
it was all over with, the freshman
was appreciative of his victory, but
he was disappointed about the lack
of voting participation.
"I'm glad I won, but I wish there
was a better voting turnout" Wright
said. "Hopefully I can do a good
job for the freshman people that did
vote for me
Reid Griffin, SGA elections
chairman, also noticed the amount
of people taking part in the elec-
tions.
"The turnout was really low
Griffin said.
cc
"There were only
383 people who
voted, which is
really below nor-
mal
Griffin real-
ized that there
were some com-
plications that
could have led to
the disappoint-
ing outcome.
"Some of ??iiiitiii
the activity stickers didn't have num-
bers on them, and a lot of the stu-
dents didn't want to go to the
trouble of getting everything right
Griffin said. "Also, there wasn't re-
ally anything to vote on
Despite the problems, the win-
ners were still excited about their
victory. Freshman Vice President
Kristy Schalles said she wants to
do all she can for her fellow class-
mates.
"I look forward to doing my job
and rewarding those who voted for
me with trust, hard work and dedi-
cation Schalles said.
Sophomore Vice President,
James

shares Schaiies's
enthusiasm.
"I'm proud
to represent the
sophomore class
and I'm deter-
mined to do a
great job
Katenschnee
said.

tatives are also proud of their ac-
complishment and ready to make a
difference. Jonathan Huggins, a
dorm representative from Umstead
is one of those people.
"It is an honor to represent one
of the nicest dorms on campus
Huggins said. "I hope that in the
future I can get more support from
the people that I represent so that
we can assure our residence hall will
remain the best"
UNC System president retires
Search for
replacement
begins tomorrow
Amy L Royster
Aaalatant Nawa Editor
The search to find a replacement
for the University of North Carolina
system (UNC-system) president begins
tomorrow at ECU after the current
president announced plans to retire.
After 11 years of service, UNC-
system President C. D. Spangler, Jr
64, announced plans to retire by June
30, 1997.
The search process is scheduled
to begin Wednesday, Oct Z, from 6:30
to 8:30 p.m. in Blue Auditorium in the
Brody Building when the first of a
series of public hearings commences.
The hearing, initiated by the
Leadership Statement Committee is
the first step in the process of find-
ing a replacement for Spangler. There
are seven hearings scheduled for UNC
campuses across the state. Commit-
tee members will be present at each
of the hearings.
According to former State Sena-
tor, and chairperson of the ECU hear-
ingJHeien Marvin, the purpose of the
hearing is to solicit student faculty
and community leaders' comments
concerning the type of person who
should be selected to fill the position.
"What this committee is charged
with doing is finding out what citi-
zens of North Carolina think the ma-
jor characteristics or qualifications of
the UNC president should be Marvin
said. "On the basis of that, the com-
mittee will determine the type of per-
son who should be selected
Marvin said students are welcome
at the hearing as well as faculty and
citizens.
"You (students) are citizens of
North Carolina and you are very much
involved Marvin said. "We would
encourage any student with an idea
to come or write a letter and bring it
to the meeting
The Readership Statement Com-
mittee is composed of members who
hold various positions in both the
UNC-system and the community.
At the same time as the ECU
hearing, a similar one will take place
in Owen Hall Conference Center on
the UNC-Asheville campus. Cameron
Hall Auditorium on UNC-
Wilmington's campus will house an-
other hearing.
On Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 6:30

that are timely and restrictive Mixon
said.
Mixon, who started August 1, said
he has been acquainting himself with
administrators and chancellors in or-
der to address their areas of concern.
He is also interested in knowing about
the changes in human resources that
these people desire.

Residence hall
safety scrutinized
New electronic card may replace
present system, offer safer alternative
Scott Hopkins
Staff Wrtfr
Being safe on campus always tends to be a paramount concern for
students. From the access to police patrols to residence hall integrity,
everyone has a concern.
Recently an idea was implemented at Appalachian State University
which uses an electronic card reader for students to access the main doors
of the residence halls.
"The system has been up and working for a year and a half and we
haven't had any real incidences yet Brad Reid, director of university hous-
ing at Appalachian State, said.
The system includes an electronic card reader for the main doors and
security alarm systems for all outer doors. The residence hall system also
includes a security desk to assure that the person using the card is actu-
ally the resident; this is done through verification of student ID's.
ECU Housing is presently looking into a similar system to be run off
of the proposed "One Card" system which is to tentatively be started in
the fall of '96.
" We have been considering a system like this and are looking for the
most effective system Manny Amaro, director of housing services said.
Presently ECU's residence halls are protected by a system of locked
doors which are accessed by keys. Residence halls such as Umstead even
have three different levels of locked doors.
The doors are locked 24 hours a day. This system is backed up by a
constant vigil of student and police security patrols.
"The students like the new system and realize that it takes the coop-
erative efforts of the residents to make it work Reid said.
The card reader system at Appalachian State allows for the doors to
be electronically locked between the hours of 9p.m. and 7a.m. where the
staff resident advisors and student security patrols maintain security.
Students need to be aware that leaving doors propped and letting
people in the residence halls who are not residents breaks the integrity of
the security in the halls.
According to Assistant Dean of Students Karen Boyd, there have been
a few incidents this year that constitute looking at a more effective form
of security for the halls.
"A student was assaulted with a fire extinguisher on the first day of
class Boyd said. "Students really need to be aware that propping doors
and letting people follow them through doors who are not residents can
be dangerous
ECU is looking to have the system in place by the spring of '97. This
will follow the implementation of the campus-wide "one card" system.
"This new form of residence hall security system would definitely in-
crease security Amaro said.

College
Democrats,
Republicans raise
awareness
Scott Hopkins
Staff Writer
The first campus elections have
just ended, national elections are gear-
ing up. The recent excitement of elec-
tion speeches and advertisements are
overwhelming. The consensus is that
this year's elections could be a turn-
ing point in our nation's direction.
TheCollegeDemocrats and Re-
publicans are busy working on cam-
paigns to make sure that all ECU stu-
dents and faculty are aware of the is-
sues and that they are ready for the
elections.
"Our number one goal is to reg-
ister all students and faculty to vote
regardless of their views Larry Free-
man, president of the College Demo-
crats said.
According to theCollege Demo-
crats, a majority of students are reg-
istered to vote in Greenville but less
than 10 percent of ECU's population
is correctly registered to vote or reg-
istered at all. The campus Democrats
and Republicans are working to in-
crease ' hat awareness.
The College Democrats' drive for
voter registration is a campus-wide
effort Within each of the residence
hall lobbies and the lobby of Joyner
Library there have been registration
forms placed, complete with instruc-
tions.
Along with the registration ma-
terial is also a secure box where stu-
dents may leave their registration
forms to be delivered to the Voter
Registration bureau. The deadline for
registration is Oct 10.
In order to register in Greenville
you must be: a U.S. citizen, a resident
of N.C. for 30 days prior to the elec-
tion, 18 years of age by election day,
not registered to vote in any other
county or state and clear of any felony
charges that affect your rights as a
citizen.
"We want to hold lawmakers re-
sponsible for their actions and inform
students about legislators who work
against, instead of for the university
Freeman said.
The College Democrats and Re-
publicans are working hard to create
awareness through other ways besides
registration. Both groups are work-
ing with local and state campaigns to
give student support and to create a
conduit between the students and the
campaigns.
"There is a little known fact of
what we are really about; we exist to
encourage reform Freeman said.
"We are working for the Democrats
to get Congress back
The College Democrats and Re-
publicans are also working to bring
the politicians to the students in or-
der to create mutual awareness be-
tween politicians and the people vot-
ing for them.
"We want to bring in a congress-
man in October, and give the students
and the county of Pitt a chance to
talk about the issuessaid Jessica
Ennis, director of the Pitt County Re
publican Headquarters in Greenville.
Campus political groups are
planning several debates, forums and
speakers for the ECU community to ;
attend. Some are also being planned
for campus.
"We want to do what we can to
bring the views and issues to the stu-
dents as well as let our representa-
tives know what issues concern us
Freeman said. "We want to get rid of
the stereotype that students are laey
and get them involved ZJ,
Both Democrats and Republicans
would like for students to come down
and check out the campaign head-
quarters.
" We have positions for those in-
terested in volunteering; we have cam-
paign literature and stickers for people
to pick up
Anyone interested in participat-
ing in either Democratic or Republi-
can campaigns can contact the respec-
tive headquarters.
Democrats can be reached at 757-
1889. Republicans can be reached at
321-1996.
Employees receive Chancellor's awards
Commendation
given in five
categories
Jacqueline D. Helium
Senior Writer
Several ECU employees, chosen
from five catagories, were recently the
recipients of the first Chancellor's Awards
for Excellence.
Chancellor Richard Eakin hosted a
reception for the five winners of the
award and the other nominees at Men-
denhall on Sept 12th.
"This award was suggested to me
by the Human Resources office. They
thought it would be appropriate to rec-
ognize superior performance by univer-
sity employees, and I agreed with them
Eakin said.
The five categories were: devotion
to duty, innovations, public service, safety
and heroism, and human relations. All
departments on campus were free to
nominate employees they felt were wor-
thy of recognition.
Jasper Barnes, of Housekeeping, re-
ceived the award for devotion to duty,
and was nominated by Rick Karabiac
the academic campus manager with
Housekeeping.
"(Jasper was nominated for) the
hours he puts in at the sports complex,
and the work his crew puts in to get
things ready for sporting events and
cleaning up afterwards Karabiac said.
Two people from the Police Depart-
ment received Chancellor's awards. Di-
rector Teresa Crocker was recognized in
the public service category, and Officer
Johnnie Umphlett for safety and hero-
ism.
"My nomination was for an event
that occurred last year Umphlette said.
"A non-student went to one of the resi-
dent halls with a handgun. He had called
a student he had gone out with a few
times and threatened her. Before he had
the chance to make contact with her, I
arrived and was able to intervene
Crocker was not available to com-
ment on her nomination, but Umphlett
said that she received the award based
on her work in getting the ECU Police
involved in the community and initiat-
ing several innovations in the depart-
ment
The category of human relations
was won by Suzanne Rouse of Central
Printing. Leslie Craigle, the director of
marketing for business services, nomi-
nated Rouse for the award.
"We have a Quest for Excellence
award which is given quarterly. Suzanne
won that award for September '95. Each
person who won in 1995 was nominated
(for the Chancellor's Award) Craigle
said.
The innovations category was won
by Gloria Bradshaw of Academic Library
Services. She is in the Preservation De-
partment in the library.
"I am in charge of repairing the
books in the general collection. 1 also
supervise students and teach them book
repair Bradshaw said.
Bradshaw was nominated by her
supervisor, Elizabeth Smith, who nomi-
nated her because of her willingness M
go beyond the basic job requirements. .
Everyone who was nominated re-
ceived a certificate from the Chancellor.
The winners in each category were also
given an engraved plaque and 16 hours
of vacation time.

Drug use in the
military declines
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 military de-
mographics.
The report tracked trends from
six worldwide surveys of American
military personnel, each including
about 15,000 to 22,000 participants
who answered confidential question-
naires. The surveys, sponsored by the

partment)
Results were reported Saturday
at the annual meeting of the Amerj
can Psychological Association by Psy-
chologist Robert Bray of the Research
Triangle Institute in Research Tri
angle Park, N.C.
"We found a very dramatic de
dine" in illicit drug use, he said in an
interview before his talk
Survey participants were asked
about drug use within the prior 30
days. When their responses were
weighted to reflect the armed forces
as a whole, they revealed that some
27.6 percent of military personnel
used illicit drugs in 1980.
But the figure fell steadily after
that, to 19 percent in 1982, 8.9 per:
cent in 1985,4.8 percent in 1988,3.4
percent in 1992 and three percent in
1995. The 1995 rate is about one-third
the civilian rate adjusted for differ-
ences in demographic makeup, Bray
said.
The 89 percent decline showed
up about equally in all illicit drugs,
Bray said. There was also an 82 per-
cent drop in illicit drug use within the
12 months prior to the survey.
To explain the trends, Bray cited
an intensified program of urine test-
ing by the military starting in the early
1980s, with a positive finding as
grounds for discharge. "The message
was, DOD was not going to tolerate
drug use Bray said.
Everybody is tested at least an-
nually at random, unannounced times,
said Roger Hartman, a health policy
analyst for the Defense Department.
Expelling drug users is a switch
from prior practice, Hartman said.
"In the past, we had tolerated,
quite frankly, drug users Hartman
said. They were treated and kept in
the military. But in the mid-1980s,
military leaders toughened the policy
and " we simply did not tolerate any
drug use Hartman said.

Lean mice show
Way to end obesity
(AP) - Surprisingly skinny mice
cheated in a Seattle genetics lab may
offer hints at why some people can
eat all they want and still stay thin.
Researchers have found that
with a single genetic alteration, they
dan turn up a natu-
ral metabolic fur-
rjace in mice so the
animals burn more
fet Experts said that
people might eventu-
ally be able to con-
trol their weight by
doing the same
thing, or by exploit-
ing related pro-
cesses.
; Mice with the
mutation have about
6! percent body fat,
compared with
about 15 percent in
their unaltered
brethren. But even
more impressive, the
genetically altered
riice can eat a high-
fit diet without ill effects.
! Even after four months on a diet
with the fat content of a Sausage
McMuffin, mice with the mutation
bjad bulked up to only the normal
rftouse body fat content
; "That's what is the most dra-
matic said pharmacologist G.
Stanley McKnight of the University
qf Washington in Seattle. "When you
put these animals on a diet that's
nore like what Americans typically
ejat they still stay thin
Scientists will have to learn
much more about what's going on in
the thin mice before drugs can be
developed for humans. And because
the field of obesity research is full of
mutated mice, the best drugs may
well come from another line of re-
search.
"These kinds of experiments
ultimately will produce a great deal
of insight about how people regulate
Hieir body fat content said Dr.
Bradford Lowell, an endocrinologist
at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.
? The University of Washington
researchers produced the skinny
mice by deleting a single gene in the
animals. That deletion altered the
properties of an enzyme, known as
protein kinase A, in the brown fat of
the animals.
"Basically there are two kinds
of fat and white fat is the kind of
storage depot that we all know and
love McKnight explained. "Brown
fat is a much more metabolically ac-
tive and more specialized tissue
Brown fat appears to be involved
in regulating body heat Rather than
serving as a passive energy reposi-
tory, it responds to cold by burning
other sources of energy, including
white fat Past studies have found
that brown fat is more abundant in
hibernating animals, newborn infants
and maybe even adults who have
spent lots of time outdoors in win-
try climes.
The part of the enzyme that the
Seattle researchers altered regulates
the process that brown fat uses to
urn energy into heat Changing the
Structure of the enzyme accelerates
that process, making it consume
more energy, the Seattle researchers
reported in Thursday's issue of the
journal Nature.
That finding might help explain
why some people who maintain sen-
sible diets are overweight while oth-
ers can eat

experiments

deal of insight
about how people

Research-
ers estimate
that dozens of
genes govern-
ing a number

had the same
effect in hu-
mans as the
genetic alter-
ation does in
mice could
conceivably
help humans
control their
weight Such a
drug probably
won't be nec-
essary, Lowell
said, because an earlier step in the
fat-burning pathway has already-
shown more promise as an interven-
tion point
"It's an incremental advance in
the field Lowell said of the Seattle
research. "There will be further re-
finements of these types of experi-
ments

Fay said she was particularly
proud to have the Lannan Foundation
as a sponsor, as they are a large orga-
nization on the west coast
"They sponsor literary programs
around the country. We are very for-
tunate to have their support because
most of the programs they support
are very large and well established,
whereas we are a fairly new program
Fay said.
The readings will consist of two
distinct programs. An evening session,
followed by a reception, will concen-
trate more on just a reading of the
author's work. The afternoon session
will provide an opportunity to ask
questions of the writer.
"Each writer will present two pro-
grams. The afternoon program is
called "Meet the Writer" and is held
at the Greenville Museum of Art In
the evening they have a reading at the
Willis Building, on First and Reade
Fay said.
Fay encourages everyone to come
to these events. They are not formal
events, she says, and people can come
as they are. They are free and open to
both the ECU and Greenville commu-
nities.
"People who think they won't
want to come to these things may be
surprised Fay said.
The writers who are invited for
this series are chosen for their appeal
to the community, the quality of their
writing, their desire to meet readers
of their work and the diversity of their
backgrounds. Rafael Campo, and poet
and nonfiction writer, will be coming
on Nov. 18, followed by Margaret
Randall on Dec. 2.

On Friday, Oct 18, Elizabeth City
State University will hold the final
hearing.
The president of the UNC-system
presides over the oldest university in
America, and the 16 campuses which
it encompasses. Over 154,000 stu-
dents attend the various institutions,
all of which offer baccalaureate degree
programs. In addition to baccalaure-
ate programs, the UNC-system offers
two medical schools, one teaching
hospital, two law schools, a veterinary'
school, a school of pharmacy, ten
nursing programs, 15 schools of edu-
cation, three schools of engineering
and a specialized school for perform-
ing artists.
The president is also responsible
for a system which includes the UNC
Center for Public Television and the

Voice your
concerns I
The UNC-
System is
finding a new
president and
ECU students
can make the
their concerns
known.
The search is on.
UNC-system officials are seeking pulic input to fill the soon-to-be-va-
cant position of president A f m will be held from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30
p.m. Wednesday so a panel can listen to the public in Blue Auditorium in
the Brody Building. So what?
To students pounding across campus everyday, the highest echelons
of administration probably seem extremely distant and unfamiliar. TEC
aims to bring this into perspective. After all, every decision at the top
ultimately trickles towards the bottom. It is our obligation to know who
our leadership officials are and what they are doing.
Considering the large amount of feedback TEC received from stu-
dents who were unhappy with a recent bill passed by our SGA, we suggest
that students take more interest in who our leadership officials are at all
stages. It is our obligation to be informed of who is making policy and
what that policy is.
The UNC president is the chief administrator for all 16 of the univer-
sities in North Carolina. Former state senator and chairperson for the
Greenville hearing Helen Marvin said the next UNC president will effect
students for many years to come.
"The president sets the overall direction of the entire university sys-
tem Marvin said.
Marvin is right This is why students should be aware not only of the
job the UNC president does and who heshe is, but also, that if they
desire, students have the opportunity to provide input to the panel Wednes-
day night
Current UNC-system President, C. D. Spangler, Jr 64, announced
plans to retire after 11 years. Spangler hopes to retire by June 30, 1997.
In the meantime, the Board of Governors has formed a Leadership
Statement Committee to solicit public comment
Spangler is the president of the oldest public university in America,
which encompasses 16 institutions across the state. Over 154, 000 stu-
dents are enrolled in degree programs among the universities.
Pause a moment to consider the influence that the next president
will have on the future of ECU and North Carolina in general.
Should the next president be a former chancellor or businessperson?
What about a Republican or a Democrat? Do we want a baby boomer or
someone from our generation?
Our Student Government Association has appointed a student repre-
sentative to attend the meeting on behalf of the student body. For this
reason, we are not suggesting every student get excited and head for the
hearing.
Knowing who our leadership officials are and what they do is an
important step.

Masters of the Universe?
When I was about nine or 10,
there was a show entitled He-Man and
the Masters of the Universe. The one
thing that you could always count on
was that no matter what the problem,
He-Man could always count on being
able to call on the powers of the Uni-
verse, harness them and save the day.
Today we live in a remarkable era.
We are able to enjoy luxuries never
before afforded to our ancestors. In
many ways our innovations have made
the world a better place, or has it?
We can first look at the world of
politics. Before true mass media and
the electronic transfer of data, there
wasn't much we knew about politi-
cians other than what local papers
printed of their views on issues or a
speech we were able to witness. To-
day we are abie to have access to ev-
erything about politicians from their
voting records to where they like to
vacation.
In the' 60s, there was big reform
in Canada to protect the Harp seals
from being hunted. The population
has rebounded remarkably; but now,
the population explosion coupled with
the skill of the fishing industry to find
the fish schools has left the?od fish
stocks devastated. Now the Director
of Fish and Game has imposed a mora-
torium on Cod fishing and called for
destruction of 300,000 of the three
million Harp seal population.
In sports, we have the invention
of equipment and supplements that
are designed protect athletes from
injury and allow them to raise the
level of their play. The problem: while
Christopher S. Arline
Opinion Columnist ?
We are able
enjoy Juxufi
ai
athletes are bigger, stronger and
faster than ever before, the better
equipment instills them with less fear
of getting injured. They, in turn, put
themselves in a more trivial position.
Their muscles are stronger but their
tendons aren't and they have a
greater potential of attaining more
chronic injuries than before.
Since we are on the subject of
injuries, let's look at medicine. One
hundred years ago, there was almost
no such thing as a medical malprac-
tice suit. As medicine has become
more accomplished, there is a public
sentiment that the work of physicians
be flawless.
The problem: we worry more
than our ancestors about things hap-
pening. We tend to feel that because
of the increases in safety and profi-
ciency, we are no longer apt to find
ourselves in bad situations. Mishaps
encourage improvements and improve-
ments encourage a sometimes overcon-
fident sense of security. ,
This summer I read a book by
Edward Tenner, entitled Why Things
Bite Back: Technology and the R&
venge of Unintended Consequences.
In this book, he offers his own corol-
lary to Murphy's Law. (If there is any-
thing that can possibly go wrong, it
will.) His theory is that sometimes the
only way something can go right is
by first going terribly wrong. This
being the case, he insists improve-
ments in the way things are done are
usually only a result of something
going wrong.
New beach homes built on
Hatteras Island are required to be a
specific distance behind the dunes.
This is a result of the mistakes learned
in Kill Devil Hills, where all the homes
built right up against the dunes are
falling into the ocean.
Perhaps we are better off as a
result of the problems we have cre-
ated. We may have an excessively
close eye on our politicians, but that
increases the chance that they will
make more honest decisions knowr
ing that big brother (the voter) is
watching. -
Doctors scared of facing the
ramifications of a job poorly done will
probably raise the level of diligence
in their work. j
The one thing that we have to!
face is that we are not the Masters,
of the Universe and new problem
will always arise. Things will have to
first go wrong in order for jus to invl
prove. jl
The East Carolinian is looking for a wire

Dale Williamson
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
We in the Lifestyle section
feel so strongly about the prob-
lem of violence in America that
we felt it deserved more atten-
tion than it was given last week.
So here goes:
The media is filled with
violence. This is the one of
the most overused, hyped, ex-
aggerated statements of the
20th century. Last week, the
Lifestyle editor stated his
opinion on how blaming the
media for the world's prob-
lems is a simplified solution
to a much deeper problem.
This week, I spit out my two
cents.
Movies, television, music,
books, plays, everything artis-
tic reeks with violence, and
many groups focus on popu-
lar culture as the source for
the breakdown of traditional
family values. I only wish it
was that easy. I'd gladly give
up every exciting action se-
quence I have ever witnessed
on any screen for a peaceful
world where murder, rape, tor-
ture, and crime in general are
myths we only hear of in
folktales.
The reality of the situa-
tion is that violence is part of
our world, no matter how
many Quentin Tarantino films
you ban and burn.
But not all popular me-
dia glorifies violence. Sure,
we have the Sylvester
Stallones and the Steven
Seagals out there, but there
are also some very concerned,
conscientious artists working
to address violence as a cul-
tural concern.
Take Tim Robbins for in-
stance. His film Dead Man
Walking dared to honestly ex-
amine a very touchy contem-
porary subject - capital pun-
ishment. His film featured a
scene in which two men rape
a woman and then kill both
the woman and her helpless
boyfriend. Believe me, the
scene was unnerving and un-
pleasant. Dead Man Walking
also showed a scene in which
one of the men responsible
for the horrible rape and mur-
der is executed through lethal
injection. This was another
unnerving and unpleasant
scene.
But I question as to
whether or not the execution
scene would be unnerving for
other Americans.
While Dead Man Walk-
ing is a prime example of a
film that uses violence to ad-
dress a social concern, it is
also a film that is critical of
our society's decision to mur-
der a murderer. But many
Americans believe in the "eye
for an eye" mentality. You

A new photo exhibit at the Men-
denhall Student Center Gallery allows
students and other members of the
ECU community to have the opportu-
nity to experience history.
The pictures of the famed photog-
rapher P.H. Polk recall a history of the
African-American experience in the
Deep South.
The exhibit, part of the events
planned for ECU's Cultural Awareness
week, opens on Friday. Oct. 4 and will
run through Oct 27.
The Student Union

committees are co-
sponsoring the
event.
I.ynn Caverly,
assistant director of
student activities,
said the Student
Union is very ex-
cited about being

exhibit.
"We thought this would be a good
one to have in conjunction with Cul-

Multiculturalism
finds its place on
campus this week
Dale Williamson
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
Multiculturalism has been dealt
a lot of harsh criticisms lately. Some
people see cultural awareness as a
threat to established hierarchies.
Others believe multicultural atti-
tudes privilege minority groups over
all others, resulting in programs that
unnecessarily focus on and lift up
minority groups. According to this
world view, multiculturalism only
furthers cultural problems by pay-
ing so much attention to one's cul-
tural identity.
In an effort to counter such
negative press, the ECU Student
Union Cultural Awareness commit
tee presents "Splash of Color a cel-
ebration ot Cultural Awareness
Week which will run through Oct.
5. The goal is to prove that
multiculturalism is a positive pro-
gression towards breaking down
cultural barriers and creating an
open environment where individu-
als from various backgrounds can
peacefully celebrate their heritage.
"Splash of Color" is an open
event for all to enjoy, and it is an
event that is

Edwin McCain calls Attic home
Our critic gets to
root of things with
popular vocalist -
Derek T. Hall
Senior Writer
In a recent up-close and per-
sonal interview, I was able to speak
with Edwin McCain about last
year's tour, the band's new drum-
mer, their new album, the time he
took to live a while, and finally, his
return home to the Attic.
"It doesn't seem like a ytar, but
it has been. For the last three
(years) I've been so determined,
forced, and almost compulsively
focused towards this goal that what
I've been failing to do is live a little
bit McCain said.
It seemed as if he were confess-
ing it all. Edwin's been having fun.
He's been living life to its fullest
and is not ashamed of it.
"Playing every night and drink-
ing in bars is great he said. "But
if you don't have the balance of liv-
ing another life and spending time
with people and friends and doing
things that you'd like to do, then
you can't really appreciate how
beautiful music is. because it even-
tually becomes a job
And what a job it has been.
McCain took off from the Attic last
year to do the Letterman show, to
take the band on a great tour with
Bob Weir and the Allman Brothers,
to perform at last year's Barefoot
on the Mall, and cnce again, to re-
turn to the Attic.
"I can't wait to play here again.
It's a great venue. It's definitely in
the top five said McCain as he ea-
gerly awaited the show that
evening.
The band opened up with a
new tune called "Tip of My
Tongue I was very impressed. It's
very melodic and gives Edwin more
room to breathe vocally. Bassist
Scott Bannevich also had room to
show off his outrageous delay tech-
nique. I heard the drummer ask him
in soundcheck, "Does that thing
ever sound like a bass?"
After the first song, with a
quick breath, McCain announced,
"Damn it's good to be back in
Greenville as the band took off
into "Alive the first song on their
debut album Jesters, Dreamers,
and Thieves.
"Alive" allows Craig Shields to
bring out his electric flute and blow
the minds of all that can hear it.
The crowd received the energy well
and took off with the band as the
night proceeded on.
Midway through the concert
the band jammed out a tune called
"America Street It's a song about

a street in Charleston, S.C. The
houses are falling down and people
are having a hard time finding an
affordable place to live.
Would you believe that Edwin,
with a little help from his friends,
has started The America Street
Foundation? It's a movement to get
government loans to build afford-
able housing for those who need
it.
Hootie & the Blowfish, The
Gibb Droll Band, Warren Haynes
and McCain himself came together
for the first show about three weeks
ago and raised $200,000. The goal
is to get corporate sponsors
onboard and do about ten shows a
year in support of the cause. With
bands like that, raising money
shouldn't be a problem and, hope-
fully, a few more people will find
comfort in their own homes once
again.
"We're working with Matt
Rollins (the keyboardist for Lyle

It seems that the band is turn-
ing it out from all sides these days.
But they aren't happy with every-
thing.
"Hundreds of thousands of dol-

ZZTop
Rhythmeen
Pat Reid
StaffWriter
Take three aging rockers, add a
heaping helping of Texas flavor, a touch
of Mississippi blues, and a taste of Mexi-
can spice and you either get indigestion
or the new ZZ Top album Rhythmeen.
Yet another brick in the house that
ZZ built Rhythmeen reflects the char-
acteristics of recent ZZ Top albums such
as Antenna more than the earlier songs
that have permanently embedded them-
selves into classic rock radio. Gone are
the songs like "Tush "La Grange and
"Legs and in their place are songs
more reflective of "My Head's In Mis-
sissippi
Case in point, the title track
"Rhythmeen" comes complete with
smashing guitar riffs, an almost dance-
like drum loop, and the ZZ Top trade-
mark vocal growl. The biggest difference
between current ZZ Top and the older
material is the focus on the rhythm sec-
tion. In days of old the guitar was the
main voice in the song and everything
else was merely back-up. Now the bass
and drums seem to mesh more cohe-
sively with the howl of the guitar.
Before going any further, I must
call attention to the main thing hold-
ing this album back: the songwriting.
The songs on Rhythmeen are like a
sports car with a slow driver. The musi-
cal unit is tight and powerful, but with
songs like "Loaded" (which is about get-
ting that way) and a fair share of songs
buy It used
can't even
hum alenft
about sex and the eternal search for it,
the album lulls greatly when it comes
to singing along. In fact, the older ZZ
Top gets, the harder it is to pick out the
lyrics from just listening. Maybe it's co-
incidence or maybe they know they're
in trouble lyrically and are trying to hide
it You decide.
Excluding the aforementioned
ones, there are some good songs here.
The first single, "What's Up With That"
is receiving substantial airplay and will
probably do a good job of selling the
album to the fans. More laid back and
accessible to diverse musical tastes
than most of the songs on the album,
it's actually reminiscent of their old hit
"Thank You except this version comes
with distorted guitar. ?
"Vincent Price Blues" and
"Prettyhead" show the influence of the
blues mentioned earlier. Straight from
the hip blues songs with crunching riffs
and a pounding backbeat, they leave
any listener feeling the power of the
ZZ Top. To put it simply, the guitar
alone shook my floor without even
being cranked up very loud. However,
"Vincent Price Blues" is the better of
the two simply because of its lyrical
taue It from a
friend
runaway
superiority.
The "most different" award for this
album goes to "My Mind Is Gone The
main vibe of the song is unlike any-
thing ZZ Top has ever done. The one
line chorus is weak, but the musical
diversity makes up for it Very experi-
mental for ZZ Top, "My Mind" comes
shining through as a great success.
"She's Just Killing Me" may sound
familiar to radio listeners and movie-
goers. Released earlier in the year, "Kill-
ing Me" was featured in the Quentin
Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez film,
From Dusk Til Dawn. Playing in the
background during a rowdy bar scene,
the song fit the job in the movie per-
fectly. It also helped prepare fans for
the rawer, driving sound ZZ Top has
now adopted.
In fact, the sound is so different
that it seems the men who helped make
Texas-fried blues popular can barely be
recognized as belonging in that genre
now. Mississippi blues meets Califor-
nia hard rock seems a more appropri-
ate description of their sound. If this
is either confusing or interesting, check
out Rhythmeen and you shouldn't be
disappointed.
SCREAM from page 6
murder you. This is how ancient bar-
barian civilizations used to handle
things. And we're conceited enough
to think that we've progressed so
much as human beings?
Capital punishment is once
again a hot topic for news programs
because a man is now imprisoned
for murdering a young girl. Richard
Davis, the killer of young Polly
Klaas, shocked the nation last week
when he implied that Polly's father,
Marc Klaas, was a child molester.
Davis stated that Polly begged him
not to "do her like daddy does
thereby enraging Mr. Klaas and the
nation. Davis had barely uttered
these unbearable words when
Polly's father told Davis to "burn in
hell" and lunged after his daughter's
killer. Mr. Klaas had to be restrained
and escorted out of court.
The truth of Davis' statement
is irrelevant. What is relevant,
though, is how the public will react
to the killer's accusation. My bet is
that by making such a harsh claim
against the murdered girl's father,
Davis has sealed his fate - the ma-
jority of the American public will
want the killer to be executed. He
has it coming.
This is the point of the game
where I get confused. We Americans
constantly complain about how vio-
lent the world has become. We con-
stantly want the world to be a bet-
ter place. If we see murder as an in-
humane act, then how can we jus-
tify murder when it comes to capi-
tal punishment?
Let's not even get into the idea
that someone in Mr. Klaas' position
is not in the right frame of mind to
determine if executing Polly's mur-
derer is the right thing to do. Let's
not even address the fact that ex-
ecuting a convict costs the Ameri-
can taxpayer much more money
than imprisoning and trying to re-
educate that same convict. Let's not
even get into the possibility that
many people who are executed are
totally innocent of the crimes for
which they have been blamed. Let's

just look at ourselves.
Humans are violent beings. We
always have been. We all have it
within our abilities to kill another
living creature. But what makes us
human (supposedly) is our struggle
to be better than our base nature.
We are violent, but we are also in-
telligent beings who have structured
a society with a moral code ? "Thou
shall not kill No one (not the poli-
ticians, not the enforcers of the law,
not the families of the victims) is
above our human moral code. It
seems to be a simple enough ques-
tion: do we as humans have the right
to play God even with someone who
has murdered?
If our society is truly progress-
ing, then let's find an alternative to
capital punishment. There's got to
be a better way to deal with those
who break our laws. If we can't get
beyond our inner desires to kill, then
let's stop being hypocritical about
ourselves and our great society.
When you take away the dazzling
technology, the great architecture,
and the hip sense of fashion, we are
still nothing but uncivilized barbar-
ians.
And once and for all, stop blam-
ing the media. Placing blame on -
something as banal as a movie or a
TV show is a simplified solution that
would only work in a Utopian soci-
ety. We're going to have to work a
little harder than that.

Another key event for Cultural
Awareness Week is Black Man Ris-
ing, a one-act dramatic presentation
that celebrates the achievements of
the African-American male. The
show, which is described as a
"choreopoem is written by James
H. Chapmyn, an artist whose work
carries a powerful message filled
with hope and pride.
Black Man Rising is, according
to Chapmyn, "a compilation of vi-
gnettes that look inside many of the
triumphs young black men face
daily Chapmyn's stories are all
based in truthful events and hope-
fully will stimulate fruitful discus-
sion afterwards. Any one interested
in conversing with the actors are en-
couraged to stay after the show and
engage in a dialogue.
Dialogue is a key element of
multiculturalism. Advocates of ex-
panding cultural awareness do not
seek to take power away from estab-
lished orders. More than anything,
multiculturalism seeks to open up
a dialogue wherein differing ideolo-
gies can be expressed without fear
of repression, wherein individuals
can take pride in who they are and
what they represent. More than any-
thing, multiculturalism strives to
make the world a better place for
everyone.
Become part of the dialogue
this week. Take part in Cultural
Awareness Week. Black Man Rising
will be shown in Hendrix Theatre
today at 8 p.m. The admission for
the show is $5 per person if bought
in advance, $8 at the door. ECU fac-
ulty and staff can obtain advance
tickets free of charge from the Cen-
tral Ticket Office.
For further information about
any of the events, call J. Marshall at
328-4711.
Do yourself a favor and open
yourself up to these worthwhile
events. Fearing multiculturalism ul-
timately serves nothing. Remember,
we only fear that which we do not
understand.
DANCE from page 6
hind the NCDT. Salvatore Aiello,
who joined NCDT as associate direc-
tor in 1979 and was named artistic
director in 1985, passed on. Aiello's
work with the NCDT was the high-
light of a long and successful career
in dance, which began in 1963 as a
dancer with the Joffrey Ballet. Dur-
ing his illustrious career he worked
with the Harkness Ballet, Canada's
Royal Winnipeg Ballet and John
Neumeier at the Hamburg State Op-
era.
Aiello's successor is Jean-Pierre
Bonnefoux, whose career is no less
impressive. Bonnefoux has danced
with the Paris Opera Ballet, the
Bolshoi Ballet, the Kirov Ballet and
the New York City Ballet. He now
dedicates his enormous skill to di-
recting, choreographing and teach-
ing young dancers.
One of the most impressive
things about Bonnefoux is his work
as a teacher. Often when dance com-
panies perform at ECU, a "master
class" will be held for students in
the dance department. This is an
awesome opportunity for dancers
who want to work with and be no-
ticed by representatives of some of
the world's best dance companies.
This time the dance students are in
for a special treat. Instead of asking
another member of the troupe to
teach this master class, Jean-Pierre
Bonnefoux will teach it himself.
This is the equivalent of having
Sir Laurence Olivier teach an act-
ing class, William Shakespeare teach
a creative writing class, or Bill Gates
teach an introduction to computers
class.
The other members of
Bcnnefoux's artistic team are Asso-
ciate Artistic Directors Patricia
McBride and Jerri Kumery. McBride
is famed as the outstanding Ameri-
can ballerina of our day and is in-
ternationally recognized. Over the
last 30 years, she has participated
in more than 100 performances with
the New York City Ballet.
Kumery performed for nine
years at the New York City Ballet
under the direction of George
Balanchine, Jerome Robbins and Pe-
ter Martins. After Aiello's death, she
served as Acting Artistic Director for
NCDT.
The program for the perfor-
mance at ECU has also undergone
some changes, due to the change in
artistic directors. On the program
as of Aug. 29 are: "Piano Concerto
1 choreographed by Salvatore
Aiello with music by Keith Emerson;
Fantasies, choreographed by John
Clifford with music by Ralph Vaughn
Williams; Escargot, choreographed
by Louis Falco with music by Ralph
MacDonald; and a special perfor-
mance of "Rubies choreographed
by George Balanchine with music by
Igor Stravinsky.
"Piano Concerto 1" is meant
to challenge the versatility and
athleticism of the dancers. It is de-
scribed as "a game of dance styles
- styles learned and interpreted by
all who have studied the discipline
of movement here the stage be-
comes the arena where a game of
dance is played Fantasies tells the
story of two couples and their illu-
sions of love. Escargot has been
described as a "kaleidoscope of in-
terlocking images the dancers
move with sheer abandon to the
jazzy undertones This will be the
first restaging of a Falco work in the
United States since his death in
1993.
"Rubies" is the second act of
the full-length dance showpiece Jew-
els. Balanchine and Stravinsky, con-
sidered geniuses of the 20th cen-
tury, often worked together to turn
out literal masterpieces of dance
theater. Balanchine choreographed
"Rubies" in 1967 for Patricia
McBride and Edward Villella using
a combination of steps from Vaude-
ville, the Cakewalk, the Rhumba and
the Tango. This is bound to be a fast-
paced, interesting highlight to the
evening's entertainment.
The North Carolina Dance The-
atre will be performing at Wright
Auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 2,
at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale at
Mendenhall's Central Ticket Office.
Tickets at the door are $25. In ad-
vance, ECU faculty and staff can

Assistant Sports Editor
ECU Head Coach Steve
Logan asked and you, the Pi-
rates fans, responded in true
ECU fashion.
After the trouncing of
South Carolina in Columbia,
with 3,000 plus Pirates faith-
f. fully looking on in the pour-
, ing rain, Logan called the fans
out and challenged them to
fill Dowdy-Ficklen for the
match-up against Central
Florida.
Hey, there were no ex-
cuses. It was a sun-drenched
Parents Day with a rolling
ECU squad coming off the big-
gest win of the season thus
far. It had all the ingredients
to be a near sell out, and what
do you know, 34,000-plus
painted the town purple.
"I really credit the fans
with this Logan said. "It was
really good out there
Attendance for the home
opener against East Tennes-
see State was way down from
the norm, due to the effects
of Hurricane Fran. Although
it was a diversion to the strain
of clean-up for about 22,000
Ph-ate fans, the players and
coaching staff were ready to
return home from their road
trip to a filled stadium for
UCF.
The Bucs hit the road for
a tough two-game road trip
with a tight loss at undefeated
West Virginia and a convinc-
ing win at USC. So, after a
hard two weeks of work, you
the fans, gave the Bucs a huge
lift by welcoming them back
with a filled stadium.
Friends, whether you be-
lieve it or not the fans are a
huge part of the program.
True, it's the boys in purple
that go to work on Saturdays,
but if s the 34,000 screaming
fans that keep them going on
those third and shorts.
Folks, we are dealing with
a national program that is do-
ing big things as we speak.
ECU is a team that has a
Unitas Award candidate as the
quarterback, a Biietnikoff
Award candidate as one of the
receivers and a defense which
is now one of the stingiest in
the country. Not to mention,
in the past nine games, no
team has been able to take
one from the Pirates in Green-
ville. Hmm, sounds like a
pretty good way to spend a

ECU'S Ultimate Frisbee team, throw-

Ultimate, as the players refer to
it has no time limit Three handlers,
two middies and two back throw the
frisbee to each
other, trying to ad-
vance the disc past
the opposition's
goal line. Games
are usually played
to 11 or 15 points

where from one to
two and a half

two distinctive ones. Right now,
ECU s club team is playing. Club
teams are open to anyone, in or out
of school, which results in a lot of
older players.
So far, the Ultimate team has
played in only one club tournament,
Sept. 21-22 at Savannah, Ga. The
team went 3-1 during the round robin
portion of the tournament Saturday.
Two notable games were a 15-7
thrashing of one of the two Savan-
nah home teams and a 15-14 squeaker
past a team from Columbia, S.C.
"The Columbia game was one of
the best games we played team Vice-
President Tim Duran said. "We were
not expected to win, but we came out
fired up. We had plenty of rookie
subs, so we could run the old men
into the dirt"
The team succumbed Sunday
during the single elimination quarter-
finals, narrowly losing to a team from
Orlando, 15-14.
"Savannah was some really
good club competition for us team
Treasurer Josh Poucher said.
Duran said it was impressive de-
fensive play that kept the team going.
"It was tough defense by Jeff
Plentle and Fuller Reeves that kept
the team alive through out the whole
weekend Duran said.
Upcoming club competition in-
cludes sectionals at Wilmington and
a tournament called Ultimax here at
ECU Nov. 23 and
24. It will be an
open invita-
tional, meaning
all club and col-
lege teams are in-
vited.
"Our club
team is not as ex-
perienced, but
we have more
athleticism.
wmmmmmmmmmmmm We're younger
more hungry
Duran said.
The second season kicks off col-
legiate action, ending with a national
tournament Twice, in 1994 ana 1995,
ECU won national championships in
Ultimate Frisbee.
How does this year's team com-
pare with those in the past, including
the championship teams?
"We have a good chance
Poucher said . "We have some return-
ing veterans and good young talent
But you can't really compare teams
because they are different year to year.
One team might be quicker, one might
play better defense
The team practices every Tues-
day, Thursday and Sunday on the in-
tramural fields behind Ficklen Sta-
dium at 3:30 p.m. Those interested

No rain, a huge crowd
and a win. Football games
just don't get any better than
that.
In front of 34,121 fans
the Pirates eased into a 28-7
win over UCF.
This was the ninth larg-
est crowd to fill Dowdy-
Ficklen Stadium and Coach
Steve Logan was thrilled at
the turnout and even a little
surprised.
"Did I hear correctly that
there were 34,000 people at
that football game?" Logan
said. "That's big time right
there. That will push our pro-
gram forward. If we had had
a flat crowd out there, I'd have
been afraid to see what would
have happened, because the crowd
really carried us
ECU (3-1) got off to an early
start and scored quickly with a
Marcus Crandell to Lamont
Chappell 8-yard pass. They would
score again with 2:53 remaining in
the first quarter when Crandell
fired a 25-yard touchdown pass to
Greenvilie native Troy Smith.
The Pirates did not score again
in the first half and the defense
held off any scoring attempts by
the Knights. ECU led at half-time,
14-0.
Smith finished the day with
five receptions for 56 yards and
Chappell recorded two receptions
for 26 yards. Logan was impressed
with the performances of these two
sophomore players.
"Everyday in practice they

their ability Logan said. "Those
aren't average athletes out there.
Those guys are big time
One of Crandell's two inter-
cepted passes came in the third
quarter when the Pirates were look-
ing to move ahead 21-0. But
Reginald Doster picked off the pass
and UCF tried to score But Logan
doesn't entirely blame Crandell for
the interception.
"We had a chance to maybe put
the game away early Logan said.
"I put Crandell in a bad situation
with the call down there. I guessed
on a call and put him in a bad situ-
ation. If we had gone up 21-0 I
thought we might have been able
to control the game a little better
The Knights only score of the
game came in the third quarter, two
possessions after Crandell's inter-
ception when Daunte Culpepper's
pass to Mike Huff resulted in a
touchdown.
Two possessions later the
Knights missed a 52-yard field goal
attempt that would have put them
within four points of the Pirates.
ECU scored with less than three
minutes remaining in the third quar-
ter with a Crandell to Larry Shan-
non pass.
The Pirates went into the
fourth quarter with a 21-7 lead. But
last year when these teams met.
UCF scored 11 unanswered points
to pull within three points. The Pi-
rates were going to make sure the
Knights didn't have a repeat perfor-
mance this year.
The final score of the game
came when J.J. McQueen caught a
1-yard touchdown pass from
Crandell to end the scoring drive,
giving ECU a 28-7 win. The Pirates

SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT
The 1996 ECU women's soccer team tangled with
Appalachia State University in the UNC- Asheville Puma
Classic on Saturday at the Greenwood Field as both
teams fought in miserable weather conditions, tying 1-
1.
ECU'S junior midfielder Sheila Best (Cary, NO
opened the scoring in the first half for the Pirates, who
have been unable to score in five games, connecting in
just the twenty-fifth minute.
"We came out a little tenative ECU Head Coach
Neil Roberts saidWe played okay, but it was the type
of game that if we were going to win we needed to put
the other team away early, especially before the rains
came
Following the intermission, rain soaked the area,
making the field conditions unbearable and. as a result,
canceling the second game between the host UNC-
Asheville and Georgia Southern.
"It was a good game Roberts said. "It was good
that we scored and played well
ECU and Appalachia State exchanged goals after
ASU's Allison Osborne answered with a goal in the thrty-
first minute of play.
The Pirates registered six shots on goal to the Moun-
taineers five. ECU'S Amy Horton (Raleigh, NC) did not
register a save while ASU's Kelley Guinn picked up three.
Sunday was a lot brighter for the Pirates as they
shut out the Eagles of Georgia Southern in day two of
the UNC-Asheville Puma Classic Tournament 2-0.
"This is a great win for us after a disappointing
result against Appalachian State Roberts said. "Our
team played well and kept the pressure on GSU often
The Pirates and the Lady Eagles were scoreless go-
ing into the second half when the GSU defense suc-
cumbed to the flurry of Pirate shots on goal. Inevitably,
the Pirates scored in the 66th minute on junior
midfielder Stacie Cause's (Jacksonville, NC) free kick
from the outside the top of the goalie box.

Thirteen minutes later, freshman
forward Trisha Roop (New Fairfield,
Conn.) sealed the ECU victory with a
shot inside the goalie box at the eight-
yard mark.
"Stacie's Cause goal was big
and Trisha Roop's goal gave us the

to come back home after a tie and a
win
ECU'S goalkeepers, Amy Horton
and Cara Morgridge (Burke, Va.), com-
bined for eight saves in the contest.
GSU's Mary Perry notched six saves
on the day.
Due to the inclement weather
conditions in Asheville, the second
game between UNC-Asheville will not
be rescheduled. With the unfortunate
weather conditions and time con-
straints, there were neither post-tour-
nament honors nor a team champion.
The Pirates will return home to
host two games this week. They will
host UNC-Wilmington on Wednesday
October 2 at 4 p.m. and then host Vir-
ginia Tech at the end of the week on
Sunday October 6 at 4 p.m.
The ECU volleyball team lost its
seventh consecutive match Saturday to
Wake Forest (2-15,15-11,4-15,10,15).
WFU took advantage of the five
errors committed by the Pirates in the
first game to defeat them 15-2. How-
ever, ECU rebounded in the long, hard-
fought second game, defending 53
WFU attacks to win 15-11. In the third,
the Pirates had a 4-2 advantage before
the Deacs reeled off 13 points to take
the game 15-4. Then in the fourth, the
two teams battled evenly until WFU
pulled ahead 15-10.
'it's the best we've played since
Cornell Head Coach Kim Walker said.
"They played hard and that's all we can
ask
For the Pirates, freshman Shan-
non Kaess had 11 kills and seven digs,
while teammate Jennifer Harris contrib-
uted 10 kills and a team-high five

ECU will play tonight at 6 p.m.

The ECU men's and women's
cross country teams traveled to sepa-

are now 4-0 against UCF. The
Knights drop their overall record
to 1-4.
UCF had trouble all day getting
their offense in rhythm. With three
intercepted passes and 292 total
yards, the Knights couldn't pull off
the victory.
"I give them credit Logan

Cornerback Kelvin Suggs knew
this wouldn't be an easy win.
"We knew we were going to
have to play our hardest Suggs
said. "We just wanted to come out

The Pirate defense had another
good showing with four quarter-
back sacks and only allowed UCF
to rush for 48 yards.
"Our defense kept taking the
ball away Logan said.
ECU recorded 14 penalties for
150 yards while UCF received nine

ECU had 20 penalties for 157 yards
for the season.

The Pirates will have this week
to recover fully and take a little
breather before the Oct 10 match-
