(AP) - A 4- year-old girl choked to death on a pebble she swallowed at a play- ground. Lindsay P. Johnson and a friend had been pretending to bury each other in the gravel, Undersheriff Jim Hicks said. The girl's mother tried the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the pea- size stone, but it didn't work. MIAMI (AP) -At stake for thousands of legal immigrants are their federal welfare ben- efits, which will be cut off un- der legislation approved by Con- gress. The law is expected to push many to apply to become Ameri- cans. Petitions for naturaliza- tion have surged in the past 18 months for several reasons, in- cluding the debate over welfare reform and other measures that take aim at immigrants. BOSTON (AP) - Widely pre- scribed hormone pills that com- bine estrogen and progestin ap- pear to be just as effective as straight estrogen in preventing heart disease after menopause, a study concludes. Many women take hormone supplements to ease the hot flashes and other symptoms of the change of life. Some stay on the pills for many years to re- duce the risk of heart disease and broken bones. WASHINGTON (AP) - Hu- mans are responsible not only for depletion of the ozone layer, a new study concludes, but also for a cooling trend that scien- tists have observed in the up- per atmosphere during the last few decades. Since 1979, satellites have seen temperatures drop about one degree in an atmospheric layer roughly 10 miles above Earth's surface, even as lower regions of the atmosphere have warmed. SEATTLE (AP) - Surpris- ingly skinny mice created 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 alter- ation, they can turn up a natu- ral metabolic furnace in mice so the animals burn more fat. Ex- perts said that people might eventually be able to control their weight by doing the same thing, or by exploiting related processes. IRONTON, Ohio (AP) - Screaming obscenities, the brain-damaged man accused of setting a fire that killed nine people at a fireworks store pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. Defense attorney Richard Wolfson said the 24-year-old has the mental capacity of a 12-year- old and cannot understand the allegations or the consequences of his actions. Hall underwent a lobotomy in 1987 after falling off a skateboard and hitting his head. Rumors may have created arachnephobia Marguerite Benjamin News Editor Ashley Settle Contributing Writer Before Aycock Hall residents pack their bags and move off Col- lege Hill, they should be aware that the residence hall's so-called "deadly spider infestation" may not be as serious a problem as some have speculated. Recently, a visitor of Aycock Hall was hospitalized after being bitten by a spider on the first floor. The spider was identified as a brown recluse, a poisonous spider, similar to the black widow. Pest Control sprayed the room immedi- ately following the incident. Brown recluse spiders are, as their name suggests, a reclusive species found mostly in dark, wooded areas. These deadly spi- ders are easily recognizable by their violin-shaped bodies. After the first-floor incident, measures were taken to inform residents of the problem and to insure that no one else was bitten. Angela Greco, a freshman resident of Aycock, said her resident advisor in- formed students of the proper precau- tions they should take in order to avoid being in- jured by spiders. Greco said stu- dents were asked Chudney Halley, freshman Nursing "Yes, on campus but not downtown it's scary down there Anltra Hughes, freshmen Pre-med "I don't go downtown Jay Cochran, freshmen undecided "It's kinda rowdy downtown, but safe on campus Yaqoob Mohyuddln, Junior AnthropologyPre-med "With all the robberies taking place downtown and on campus. I'm concerened about my safety and that of others as well by their advisors to wear shoes when inside the building and avoid contact with dark places. After hall advisors warned resi- dents, several students called the community service desk reporting spiders in their rooms. Other sightings of spiders have occurred within the last week. A sighting on the fourth floor was checked by Pest Control and they proceeded to spray the room for safety precautions. "The spiders that have been reported recently have all been small brown house spiders said Inez Fridley of University Housing Services. "After each call we have received reporting a spider, we have sent someone out to check and spray the room According to Aycock resi- dents, rumors have been spread that there is a nest of brown re- cluse spiders in Aycock Hall. "Maintenance investigated the dorms and reported no sign of spider inhabitancy. There has been no confirmation that there is a nest of spiders in Aycock Hall Fridley said. About the spider Description: They are brown to tan with a darker "violin" shape on their backs. Their bodies are about a quarter to a half inch long, and they have long, slender legs. Dwellings: They prefer out-of-the-way spots inside homes, especially in atticks, basements and closets and dresser drawers that aren't opened very often. Outside, they like piles of rocks and leaves. The bite: If bitten by a brown recluse, one might feel a little sting, but usually not any pain. After a few hours, one will start to feel pain that may range from mild to severe. A rash and then blisters form at the site of the bite. You may also feel weak and nauseous, start to vomit or get fever and chilis. What you can do: Clean the area around the bit with antiseptic, and place an ice pack over the bite. Get to a doctor as soon as possible, and take the spider with you so the doctor can be sure it was a brown recluse. What a doctor can do: There is no antidote doctors can give to bite victims; however, a doctor can administer steroid drugs, antibiotics and antihistamines. A skin graft may be needed to repair the damaged area of skin around the bite. To avoid being bitten: Shake out clothes and blankets you have not worn or used for a while. Be careful aroud areas where you have seen spiders before. Regularly clean up out-of-the-way places inside the house, especially areas behind furniture, under beds and inside closets.

'One card' to simplify university access Option ends need for stickers, stripes Scott Hopkins Staff Writer Students will soon have the con- venience of one card to handle all of their university services. ECU is tak- ing steps to make university access easier for students and staff. A few years ago ECU felt the ne- cessity to invest in a card access sys- tem for the university that would make the carrying of multiple cards obsolete. ECU administrators created the One Card Committee. "We're a subcommittee of the information resource committee, which is looking for the existing uses or needs of a system such as this said George Harrell, assistant vice chancellor of business affairs and co- chairman of the One Card Commit- tee. According to Harrell, the school envisions a card that will encompass all aspects of life at ECU that involve a card. "There are presently seven differ- ent variations of cards which are used on campus Harrell said. The committee is looking at ar- eas like administration, student activi- ties and affairs, the athletic associa- tion and dining services as possible uses of the new "one card The new card will not involve stickers or activity stripes which can be lost or worn. When a student is issued their new card an electronic picture will be automatically taken, like it is done for state drivers' li- censes. See ONE page 4 Renovations require more funds Latest million dollar bond not enough Jennifer Barnes Staff Writer ECU needs more funding for renovations and repairs around cam- pus. The $310 million state improve- ment bond assisted ECU with the renovations to the library. George W. Harrell, Ph.D assistant vice chancellor for facilities, knows ex- actly how much the bond helped the productions. "What ECU received out of that was money to build and remodel Joyner Library Harrell said. "The total was $30,308,900 Aside from the library, many other campus areas are slated to be improved in some way. Harrell said that a new science and technology building is ranked high on this list "The highest priority capital need for ECU is a new science and technology building Harrell said. "This would replace the antiquated chemistry laboratory currently in Flanagan, and provide laboratory space for the School of lindustry and Technology Harrell said he is aware that this kind of advancement does not come without a price. "This project is currently esti- mated to cost $48,997,600 Harrell said. Hurricane Fran did her part in adding to the university's funding needs. Harrell said that damage was done in various parts of the uni- versity. "We had damage to the roof ventilation system on Minges Coli- seum and roof damage on Ward Sports Medicine Building and Belk Allied Health Build- ing Harrell said. "The School of Medicine re- ceived damage to underpinning on trailer units Flooding caused damage at the School of Nursing trailer with around 18 inches of water above the floor. Nine student automobiles were damaged due to falling trees. In order to pay for these dam- "What ECU received out of that was money to build and remodel Joyner Library. This project is currently estimated to cost $48,997,600 � George W. Harrell, Ph.D assistant vice chancellor for facilities ages, Harrell said that the univer- sity is depending primarily on Fed- eral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds. "We currently estimate the hur- ricane damage at approximately $245,000 Harrell said. "We have filed a no- tice of intent to FEMA to recover hopefully 75 per- cent of our loss Overall, the funding of the projects is just as important as the projects them- selves. Harrell realizes that as long as the fund- ing improves, then so will the outcome of the projects. "The repairs and renovation capital funding that the university received in '96- 97, of $4,968,008, is the largest an- nual amount for that purpose that the university has ever received Harrell said. "The continuation of this program is exceptionally impor- tant to the university, if we are to continue to improve the quality of the educational facilities at ECU ugfe ?teloU Family Fare Series presents The Velveteen Rabbit.page OPINIQWU Was Reagan good for the country?page O S PO RT uct4dcuf Skull and crossbones dangerous medicine on web.page 1 1 ?viecAt Thursday Partly cloudy & High 75 Low 65 Weekend Partly cloudy f High 75 H Low 65 ??W to e&ci u& Phone (newsroom) 328 - 6366 (advertising) 328-2000 Fax 328 - 6558 E-Mail UUTEC@ECUVM.CIS.ECU.EDU The East Carolinian Student Publication Bldg 2nd floor Greenville, NC 27858 Student Pubs Building; across from Joyner Thursday, October 3,1996 The East Carolinian u Two Wake Forest students killed by drunken driver Students at Wake Forest University are pulling together to mourn the loss of two students who were killed by a repeat offender in a drunken driving accident two weeks ago. � Two sophomores, 19 year-old Julie Hansen of Rockville, Md and 19 year-old Maia Witzl of Arlington, Texas, were killed when a drunken driver plowed into their car. Thomas Richard Jones of Statesville was charged with one count of driving while impaired and two counts of second-degree murder, said Winston-Salem police Sgt Steve Newsome. University of South Florida serves alcohol on campus Students and faculty who want to relax with a glass of wine or a frozen margarita won't have to leave campus anymore. Francesco's Italian Restaurant started serving alcohol Aug. 30. Another restaurant on campus, Rockv's EmDtv Ketf. already serves beer. Francesco's will be the first to serve liquor. Owner Reno Agostinis said he believes the addition of alcohol will add to the casual atmc phere in the restaurant Agostinis said he has not decided what kind of specials he will offer to customers, but there will be a happy hour every day from 4 to 7 p.m. N. C. State's elections go unnoticed by many Thirty-two Student Senate positions were up for grabs during this fall's elections but less than half those seats were filled as voter turn- out numbers plummeted from previous years' low figures. Elections Board Chair Diane Heibel said 494 students - approxi- mately 1.8 percent of the student body- voted in this year's fall elec- tions. Close to three percent of the student population voted in last year's fall elections. Murderer comes up for parole at the University of Tennessee On Aug. 21,1988, a UT student named Thomas H. Baer was mur- dered following a party at the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house. Jeffery R. Underwood was convicted of second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Underwood is up for parole for the sixth time in seven years. His hearing is scheduled for Oct 9 at 9 a.m. The parents of Baer and his former fraternity brothers are fighting against Underwood's parole. If the Tennessee Board of Paroles doesn't release Underwood on parole this time, his sentence will eventually expire on Aug. 4, 2002, said Cayle Barbee, director of the board of operations. If he earns extra credits for good behavior, his date could be decreased monthly. Compiled by Amy L Royster. Taken from various college newspapers and CPS. This month copies are just 3 cents each. Biotechnology makes advances Conference unites several fields Jacqueline D. Helium Senior Writer By the time most of us now in college reach retirement age, scien- tists may have made advances which will significantly extend the human life span. That would be one potential benefit of research being done in the field of biotechnology. In recognition of the impor- tance of this science, a conference will be held on Oct. 3, called BioVision 2000. This conference will bring together not only those in the biotechnology field itself, but also those in agriculture, politi- cians, and university faculty and ad- ministrators. Dr. Wendall Allen, director of biotechnology, will be one of those going to the conference from ECU.

Rivers Chair for the spring of '97, following approval by the UNC Board of Governors. Dr. Renata Siemienska, an inter- nationally renowned professor of po- litical science and women's studies, was selected for the distinguished position. According to Dr. James A. Van Fleet, assistant to the vice chancellor of International Affairs and director of International Affairs, the Rivers Chair is a visiting professorship awarded to a prominent international figure. The purpose of the chair is to lend an international dimension to ECU'S campus and curriculum. "This is a program which helps bring distinguished academics from other campuses and other parts of the world to teach at ECU Van Fleet said. "It highlights our efforts to be- come more internationally aware. The selec- tion process for the chair began with the review of applications by the Rivers Committee, con- sisting of six deans within the university. Then the applicants were ranked accord- ing to estab- lished criteria which included that the appli- cant be well-1 published (scho- lastically) in the field of international studies and the degree of the appli- cants' profile in international circles. The requirements ensure that the candidates will enhance the aca- demic standing of ECU. "We wanted a professor who would contribute toward the process "This is a program which helps bring distinguished academics from other campuses and other parts of the world to teach at ECU � Dr. James A. Van Fleet, the River Chair of our campus internationalism and teach classes with a broad appeal Van Fleet said. "We also wanted an individual who was anxious to in- teract'with our fac- ulty and students, so even if a stu- dent wasn't able to take a class with the professor they could still benefit. We want the professor to have an impact on the greatest num- ber of students possible Siemienska, who holds a doctor- ate in political sociology, will fulfill these expectations. She has held vis- iting professorships and lectureships at numerous universities throughout Europe and the United States. In addition, she has taught ex- tensively at U.S. universities and is well published in her field. "Her specialty is women's issues conferences Van Fleet said. He con- tinued to say that Siemienska often addresses the issues of women in poli- tics, women's rights, and women's economic status in a global fashion. Tentative plans for such a con- ference are in the works for the spring. According to Jo Allen, special assistant to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the tentative conference will look at the status of women in a variety of situations and "the ways women are gaining ground "We want to take advantage of Siemienska's knowledge and exper- tise on women in eastern European nations Allen said. "We hope the conference will appeal to faculty, stu- dents and the community, as well as scholars throughout the world Siemienska recently spoke at the ECU Women's Studies Brown Bag lunch.

Co-sponsored by the Christian Medical Dental Society, Campus Crusade, Promise Keepers, and Pastors United for Revival of Greenville ECU students have the oppor- tunity to compete with other schools in the fourth annual Eth- ics Bowl, sponsored by Sears. "Ethics have to do with the most basic and fundamental rights and wrongs of human beings Rob- ert F. Ladenson, ethics professor at Illinois Institute and founder of the Ethics Bowl (TEB) said. "It has to do with principles and how those principles react in a person's life and society as a whole TEB is a student activity in- spired by the College Bowl. Its pur- pose is to increase the conscious- ness of ethics. "On one level, all people agree that ethics are important. But other things can obscure ethics. This is a way to bring it back to the forefront, while also being a valuable way of teaching ethics Ladenson said. TEB consists of 20 teams, each with three to five players. The stu- dents are given a description of a significant problem, such as cheat- ing, plagiarism, dating, date rape, abortion and marriage. The players confer, come to a conclusion, and the elected speaker delivers the answer. Unlike the College Bowl, TEB doesn't have a definite right or wrong answer. MOKI. IMO 7 "N 'issn MARK A.

If they chal- lenge it, they are given a chance to develop and deliver an answer that is more concise, in-depth and to the point. "We prefer to have an element of discussion and debate, rather than a cut- and-dry right or wrong Ladenson said. The first Ethics Bowl, which oc- curred in 1993, was not as polished as this year's will be. "It was full of really big kinks Ladenson said. "We hadn't figured out how to score the game yet. The judges didn't like it, the players didn't like it and I ended up being the sole judge. It was a disaster. I could see the anger that some of my calls were making. It was clear that one person could not judge the event. We had to change the scor- ing. But the experience was very instructive TEB will take place in Wash- ington D.C. this spring.

The eight colleges that have applied for TEB are the University of Montana, Dartmouth, the U.S. Air Force Academy, DePaul Univer- sity, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University, the U.S. Military Academy and Western Michigan University.

"Biotechnology developed out of an understanding that occurred back in the late 60's and early 70's that the chemical nature of the gene was DNA and that all species were cellular based Allen said. "The big advance came in the late 70's when we learned to work with that chemical material Once scientists understood the nature of DNA and how to manipu- late it, other advances followed. "It developed into a technology ONE from page 1 Harrell said the new card will be fabricated on the spot with the student's personal bar code for library services and a magnetic stripe for din- ing services. The new card will also include a new feature found around campus- a "junk stripe Many students have found the access of the library copy cards and vending cards to be effec- tive, the new card's "junk stripe" will follow the same concept of being able to add on money at one's convenience for vending purposes. The new card will serve as an ID card for recreational activities and to buy athletic event tickets. The card's proposal also includes use for student government elections in the future, which will increase efficiency and cut down on controversy. The "one card" is also going to serve as a key to the proposed elec- tronic key lockdown system which will serve as the new security system for the campus residence halls. "We are in the final stages of the project Harrell said. "This was facili- tated by the university fiber optics network being in place The new fiber optics network and the fact that the new library renova- tions have been set to be compatible with the new system are sure signs of this new system being close to completion. "We plan to start re-carding stu- dents during the spring of '97 Harrell said. "We will be full stream carding freshmen and transfer students by fall of 97 that we call recombinant DNA tech- nology, which means to put the DNA together in different ways Allen said. Two of the benefits already re- alized from DNA manipulation are the products humulin and activase. Humulin is a type of insulin devel- oped by taking the insulin gene from a human and putting it in a bacteria, which then begins to pro- duce insulin. That product is humulin and is used for diabetics. Activase is a clot-bursting en- zyme which, if administered soon enough after a person suffers a heart attack, prevents damage to the heart. These advances and many oth- ers demonstrate why biotechnology is so important, and Allen says that ECU has been at the forefront of the field for many years. "ECU got involved in biotech- nology back in the early 1980's, and this was a joint development be- tween the School of Medicine's bio- technology program, and the Arts and Science's department of biol- ogy. The School of Medicine has Ph.D. and post-doctoral research, and the College of Arts and Sci- ences developed an undergraduate concentration in biotechnology Allen said. ECU is also the only state in- stitution that has a master's level program in biotechnology, and is re- sponsible for the founding of two new companies in the field. "This university is spinning off two new Biotechnology companies, Encelle Inc. and Epigenesis Allen said. Allen agreed that the advances in this field may eventually pose moral dilemmas for society, and maybe even change the way our so- ciety operates. For instance, if the human life span were to be ex- tended, as mentioned previously, the age of retirement would prob- ably change. "We do address the potential for ethical issues to arise, to inform our students that society will have to deal with this. Society is a multi- faceted thing, and society will even- tually have to work out how it's go- ing to deal with this information Allen said. Society may eventually be Mv.

Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 3o years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. Bv starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: Set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 5o and you can accumulate over $172,109 by the time vou reach age da. But wait ten years and vou'll have to budget $219 each month to reach the same goal. Even if you're not counting the years to retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF to help you build the future you deserve - with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest- ment choices, and a record ol personal service that spans j5 years. Over 1.8 million people in education and research put TIAA-CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning. Why not join them?

The reason that so many people from outside this field have been invited is to try to educate a wider range of people about the impact of biotechnology.

Downtown Greenville serves as a mecca for most ECU students. For countless years, this area of the Emerald City has been an escape from the toils and troubles of campus life. The many restaurants, shops, clubs and bars help to make life away from home that much more bear- able. Downtown is ECU's safety blanket. Or rather, it was. Recently, downtown has shifted from being a com- fortable spot where one can relax to a place of unease and discomfort. It seems that because of downtown's popularity as an area for hanging out, it has also earned the attention of some of Greenville's predators. Of course, this has always been the case. Any place where people congregate in large num- bers and are often not in total control of themselves becomes a place where thieves and violent offenders see easy pickings. This is a fact of life and cannot be prevented. What can be prevented is the number of occur- rences that happen. And the city of Greenville has be- come fairly efficient when it comes to crime preven- tion in the downtown district. Every night, a definite police presence is visible in the form of officers on bicycles, in cars and on foot. This is quite unlike a few years ago, when the down- town streets often had to be blocked off because of the enormous numbers of people who flooded Green- ville during Halloween and other events that were fa- mous statewide for their ail-out partying action. Al- though many students moan about the old days and how much fun they were, the fact is that downtown has become a much, much safer place. So why the sudden resurgence in crime downtown? Has the city of Greenville pulled back on its support and protection of the student community? Has the uni- versity police force been negligent in its duties? Or has there simply been an unforeseeable upswing in the number of active criminals in our midst? There are no easy answers. The real question is with Homecoming and Hallow- een both fast approaching, and with the temptation to go downtown and party without abandon an almost ever-present thought on most students' minds, what needs to happen to ensure their safety? Well for one thing, we as students could be more responsible. There's nothing that says we can't look out for each other. Also, we could demand service from the people we employ to protect us. Both the university and the city- police benefit from taxes and fees we pay as citizens and we have a right to have our voices heard on this matter. Our concern here at TEC is for the safety of our readership - the students of East Carolina University. Until downtown Greenville has reconciled its problems, we recommend that you watch out for yourselves. 1 tr&h4 �K The East Carolinian �MJk @ Brandon Waddell, Editor-in-Chief ?"

TECs goal is to give the student body information relevant to the upcoming elections. Today's topic is Ronald Reagan Larry Freeman Steve Higdon Opinion Columnist m polsfkaf mqiHfvering, vote deception, vote &itt Clinton. In this Halloween season, it is most appropriate that Bob Dole is trying to dress up like Ronald Reagan for that big trick-or-treat party on Nov. 5. Dole thinks be- ing more like Reagan could give him the victory. I'd say he's more likely to find a parking spot on ECU's cam- pus. Folks, Ronald Reagan is not the Jesus on Earth that the Republicans want you to believe. Ronald Reagan was the "Great Communicator no doubt about it There was just something about seeing his face on TV that made you think the Commies didn't have a chance. He was a good foreign policy President He was also dubbed the Teflon President, because noth- ing damaging stuck to the guy. Well, speaking of dam- aging things The perception is Reagan was what saved us in the 80's. Why, he's the only thing that stopped the big-spend- ing liberals in Congress. Well, the facts show that Reagan requested more spending from Congress than Congress authorized Reagan also added 1.4 million bureaucrats. Furthermore, he even broke his promise for a balanced budget in 1984, and went on to rack up $2 trillion in debt Did Reaganomics work? Harvard Economics Pro- fessor Benjamin Friedman says, "Tantalizing as it was, Reagan's claims that lower tax rates would enlarge tax revenues never had substance Reagan's own budget director, David Stockman, stated, "The root problem goes back to the July 1981 frenzy of excessive and impru- dent tax cutting that shattered the nation's fiscal stabil- ity To put a nail in the coffin, Reagan is lauded for creating thousands of jobs during the 80's, but his an- nual job growth rate was an unspectacular 2.1 percent. Lyndon Johnson's rate was 3.8 percent, Kennedy's and Nixon's were 2.3 percent. Even Clinton is kicking Reagan's bootie with a rate well over 2.5 percent Only one of the most god-awful Presidents of all time, George Bush, saved Reagan from last place with a horrible 0.6 percent Finally, the ReaganBush administrations were some of the most corrupt in history. The ghastly Sav- ings and Loan scandal occurred under Bush's watch. Also. Ronald Reagan sold arms to terrorists, behind America's back. Besides Bush lying about his involve- ment in the IranContra affair, a recent article from a very reputable newspaper (The San Jose Mercury) found evidence that the CIA sold crack cocaine to drug deal- ers, and used the profits to sell arms to the Contra rebels. Authorities found films, manuals and documents show- ing drug money was used to purchase arms. Mysteri- ously, all records of the search, seizure and property "disappeared" from the Sheriff's Department Let's vote against this type of corruption. Let's vote against the candidate who voted against the creation of the Drug Czar (as well as voting against student loans and clean air). Don't let anyone ever label the Clinton administration as a corrupt one. I'm much more wor- ried about our government selling drugs to crooks than I am about some flimsy little land deal in Arkansas or some money-grubbing floozy. The evidence shows that Republicans are the party of corruption and Democrats are just the ones who can fix it. That's just one more reason to throw out the old guard of Jesse Helms and Bob Dole, and bring in the new guard of Harvey Gantt and Bill Clinton. This week's column will deal with the ReaganBush administrations among other things. Reagan took office in 1981 after defeating Jimmy Carter by a landslide mar- gin. When Reagan took office the inflation rate was 12 percent and unemployment affected 8 million people. Un- der Carter, there was actually a point where unemploy- ment interest rates and inflation were all in the double digits. Reagan ran the country in a completely different fash- ion than did Carter. Reagan made the statement "Govern- ment is not the solution; it is the problem Employment dropped and the economy rebounded into Reagan's sec- ond term. Reagan believed in cutting taxes. In 1986, Reagan signed into law a sweeping tax re- form bill. The new iaw lowered the maximum tax rate and repealed many deductions for business. The bill enjoyed strong bipartisan support and even dropped many poor Americans from the tax role entirely. While Reagan and Bush were trying to put the coun- try back on track, Bill Clinton was making investments in the failed Whitewater deal. His wife Hillary was making a killing at cattle futures. Al Gore, however, was doing some- thing As a member of the House of Representatives, he voted against both of Reagan's tax cuts and his budget cuts. George Bush was probably one of the best presidents, in regard to foreign affairs, that the country has ever known. He followed in the tradition of Reagan in gaining respect for our military abroad. By bringing to justice Manuel Noriega and assuring a quick end to the war in the Per- sian Gulf, Bush proved himself an able leader. Though lib- erals are quick to point out Bush's mistakes, such a rais- ing taxes, they leave out a few key points. For instance, in 1992 Bush vetoed a tax increase that Al Gore voted for. Al Gore also voted against a line item veto, a capital gains tax cut and the balanced budget amend- ment Another shocker was that while Bush was president in 1989, Al Gore was one of only four senators to vote against a bill that would require people with the HIV virus to notify their spouses. After Clinton won the election in 1992, one of his first moves was to uphold Bush's policy of returning Hai- tian refugees. Although he had denounced the policy as inhumane and promised to reverse it he did not This proved that his objections were politically motivated and that Bush's policy was just Bill Clinton also signed a large tax increase in 1993, contrary to his campaign promises. Other policies that Clinton had to back away from were "gays in the military" and his idea of health care reform. You know what is funny? Even while the Clintons were debating health care reform, provisions were being made to protect them from it! Then Majority Leader George Mitchell introduced a bill that would exempt Congress and federal employees from the plan. They knew it wouldn't work and did not want to be a part of it However, they did not care about you or me or the quality of our health care. As November nears, Bill Clinton is portraying himself more and more as a moderate. Given his record though, I dare say he has not changed. Furthermore. I feel that if he is re-elected, he will be much more liberal that the country as a whole wants their President to be. Let's not give him that chance. Vote against political maneuvering. Vote against deception. Vote against Bill Clinton.

That's right, the Natural Life Program and the ECU Student Union Film Committee are co-sponsoring a special showing of Friday, the story of high times in the hood, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. The movie is slated to start at dusk (around 7:30 p.m.) in the VIP parking lot on Charles Street between Ficklen Stadium and Harrington Field. You can bring your car or just a chair and a blanket For those with cars, the audio portion of the movie will be broadcast off of a designated AM wavelength. Oh yeah, there's free popcorn and snowcones, too. As for the movie, Friday is an appropriate choice for a drive-in movie: light hilarious and with a little bit of romance thrown in. Friday centers around Craig (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Tucker) as they spend a day observing life from Craig's front porch in Compton. They smoke seemingly mountains of marijuana, experience shakedowns from the neighborhood bully, Deebo (Tiny "Zeus" Lister, Jr.), and fear for their lives at the hands of a curly-headed drug dealer, Big Worm (Faizon Love). Ice Cube wrote the screenplay for the movie along with DJ Pooh, who plays Red, one of Deebo's favorite targets for theft and pummelings. Cube is low-key as Craig, recently fired from his job after being sus- pected of stealing boxes on his day off ("How do you get fired on your day off?"). Tucker steals the movie in his over-the-top, high-energy portrayal of Smokey, an aspiring dope dealer with one problem: he smokes all of his product before he can sell any of it Friday really has no plot, but the humor hits so quickly you probably won't notice. Admittedly, the movie sometimes slithers into Jim Carrey territory with doses of bathroom humor, complete with a flatulent-filled father & son forum between Craig and his father, played by the immortal John Witherspoon. Witherspoon heads a pack of memorable supporting actors includ- ing Anna Maria Horsford, Bernie Mac, Nia Long, and a dozen other actors who perfectly pull off an array of eccentric characters. Highlight perfor- mances include an eternally aroused housewife and her jealous midget husband (no PC in sight in this movie), as well as Smokey's "Janet Jack- son" look-a-like would-be-date. So, tonight take a trip to the drive-in, sit back in your car seat and see if Craig and Smokey can survive the wrath of Big Worm or if Deebo ever gets what he deserves. If that doesn't interest you, there are always the snowcones.

Hall Senior Writer John Davis Staff Writer E-Y-EiAtZT? Big River bridges cultural differences Cast learns from racial tensions that play exposes Jennifer Coleman Senior Writer One of the hardest things about being a reporter is reconciling what people want to read with what people are willing to say. I didn't want to write a "fluff piece for Big River. By fluff I mean an article that simply says, "Go see this play. It will be good As a the- atre major, I want people to go see the show, of course; but I'm also a journalist and that means I'm more than just a commercial. You can see my dilemma. I wanted an interesting article that people would read, but I also wanted people to go see the play. So, I set out to interview the cast of Big River, thinking I would "uncover" some ra- cial tensions due to the extremely mature subject matter. Big River is a musical adaptation of "Huckleberry Finn a book that was banned from libraries and schools across the country for its content Controversy is the fastest way to sell out a theater. No publicity is bad pub- licity. I felt certain that if I asked the right questions, I would fjnd all sorts of juicy tidbits to put in my article. In speaking with the cast of Big River, I learned that sometimes you have to ask the wrong questions to get the right answers. When I began interviewing for this article, I asked if there was any racial tension among the cast. Be- cause the play deals with such a seri- ous topic, I wanted to know how diffi- cult it is for the cast to get along? The answer I received amounted to "there isn't any racial tension in the cast" That was it Obviously not prize-win- ning stuff. I started asking, "Why not?" What re- sulted was close to two hours of discussion with over 20 mem- bers of the cast during which I learned that in- stead of asking "Why aren't you like everyone else I should have been ask- ing, "Why isn't everyone else like you?" One cast member, Jamie Lane, made a great point about the show's message and his opinion of director John Shearin's vision of the perfor- mance. He felt that Shearin's repre- sentational style highlights the hope we see evident in Huck and Jim's friendship. He went on to explain the difference between presentation and representation in the case of Big River. In a presentational version of this show, the audience might leave think- ing, "What a cute show what won- derful characters what fun In a representational version, the audience should leave thinking, "I never real- ized before how terrible life was for the slaves how amazing that Huck befriended Jim despite what society tried to teach him I learned things I never knew before Another point introduced into the discussion was that racism is a . learned belief. This "It's not about white or black. Even though that's part of what the show's about, that's not what we're about" �Jim Bray, Big River cast member is perhaps the strongest lesson in Big River. Matt Stevens, who plays Tom Sawyer, ex- plained that Huck and Tom are friends with Jim, a slave, and even help him escape. But Huck's "con- science" bothers him, because he is going against what he has been taught is right: i.umely, that Jim is a slave and is not allowed to be free. How- ever, throughout the play we see slave children and white children playing together - a subtle way to show us that hatred is not a natural instinct Why would a show with such an important message engender racial tension in the first place? Why would the book and the play be banned? A lot of criticism is due to the way in which the book deals with slavery and the use of the word "nigger See RIVER page 9 Hare is boy's best friend Photo Courtesy of Student Union The Velveteen RabbitwlU open the Family Fare series this coming Saturday, Oct. 5, at 2 p.m. in Wright Auditorium.Tickets will be available in advance at the Mendenhall Ticket Office. J Shh! What's that? Could it be? It's the inner spirit of a band finally captured on a recording. Let me start by saying that regardless of what you listen to, this album is for real.

Ever since the Beatles recorded SgL Pepper's, rock groups have been us- See WILD page 9 Dale Williamson Aeeletant Lifestyles Editor Once upon a time, there was a stuffed toy rabbit named Velveteen who craved the love and affection of Steve, a young boy who desired acceptance from his older brother. Because Steve worked so hard to earn his brother's attention, Velve- teen found himself neglected. When Steve is rejected by his brother, he turns to Velveteen for support and immediately the two become in- separable. But disaster strikes when Steve becomes deathly ill with the scar- let fever. Fearing that Steve's toys may also be contaminated, Steve's parents decide to burn all of Steve's belongings, including his toys. As a result of this perilous situation, Steve and Velveteen pull together and are forever changed. If this sounds like a familiar story, it should. This tale of a toy rabbit and his boy is none other than Margery Williams' classic children's tale The Velveteen Rab- bit, and it's coming to campus this Satur- day as part of ECU'S 1996-97 Family Fare Se- ries. This musical production will be brought to full dra- matic life through the cre- ative ef- forts of Theatreworks USA, one of the lead- ing professional theatre groups in America for family audiences. Striv- ing to bring family-oriented enter- tainment to the forefront, Theatreworks has set a goal to pro- vide sophisti- cated and imagi- native produc- tions that are educational and thought-provofe ing, as well as entertaining. "Theatreworks came into being 36 years ago at a time when there were no profes- sional theaters for children ex- plains Theatreworks representative Susan Obel. Ac- cording to Obel, it all started when Theatreworks founder Jay Harnick presented a production of Young Abe Lincoln for school chil- See RABBIT page 8 �i 3- 8 Thursday, October 3,1996 The East Carolinian Mug Sale "Say, that's a mighty nice mug you got there, Duchess, and I ain't talking about the cup The ECU Ceramics Guild will be holding their 5th Annual Mug Sale from 8 a.m6 p.m. on Oct. 3 & 4 at the ECU School of Art and Oct. 4 & 5 at the Perco- lator Coffeehouse. Artwork Courtesy of School of Art RABBIT from page 7 dren in an effort to expose them to professional theater. Harnick took his show on the road and along the way acquired some talented writers who understood and appreciated his vision. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. "We did it, there was a need, and Theatreworks just grew says Obel. Since Theatreworks is an orga- nization that works for the inter- est of children, stories selected for productions have to carry qualities that are not only appropriate for children but also elements that chil- dren find appealing and entertain- ing. "We do many literary adapta- tions, as well as historical plays, fairy tales (adapted or updated), and issue-oriented shows dealing with such themes as illiteracy or drugs" Obel notes. "We look for a story that has interests for younger children and something that also has special meaning for them That fact that Theatreworks creates family-oriented entertain- ment was one the main reasons why Matt Crabtree, who plays Steve in the play, joined the group. "Theatreworks is very well known for children's theater Crabtree said, "and they have a great repu- tation. 1 saw it as a wonderful op- portunity Crabtree, a N.C. native who got his start with regional theater before he moved on to New York, says that the audience response to The Velve- teen Rabbit has been wonderful. "The kids have been verv responsive to everything we do on stage Crabtree says. "It's also a very good show for adults because there's a lot of humor in it for both children and adults Theatreworks hopes that by pre- senting productions with thematic stories that are relevant to their lives, they may not only learn something about live professional theater but also themselves. To help make The Velveteen Rabbit even more relevant for many children, Theatreworks added a new element to the story � that of the relationship between the Steve and his older brother. Many local children are set to get a sneak preview of The Velveteen Rabbit thanks to an arrangement be- tween the ECU Family Fare program and TJ. Maxx, who has agreed to pur- chase 100 tickets tor the Pitt County Department of Social Services to dis- tribute to foster children. "To hear the kids enjoying them- selves is rewarding Crabtree stresses. "Hopefully, we have a positive impact on them "There has been an need for live performing arts for children Obel in- sists. "We may just excite someone to seek a career in the arts If nothing else, Theatreworks will help in allow- ing a younger audience learn to ap- preciate the performing arts.

The band pulls from a variety of sources. Some songs, like the album's opener, "This Misery are pure rock and roll, while others have a more jazzy feel to them ("Wake Up Sad) and more than a few have a Celtic sound (check out the intro to "Want").

The band has several strong points, such as the musicians them- selves. Angela McCluskey's voice is a sublime instrument capable of cover- ing jazz, country and even hard rock. Her voice carries overtones of Natalie Merchant and Emmylou Harris at times. Her lyrics are very personal, re- volving around the loss of a lover and the time of healing that comes after such a loss. Guitarist Shark lays down some impressive grooves and blends his play- ing in with the emotive and moving harmonies provided by fiddle player Paul Cantelon. Scott Roewe is an or- chestra, providing the bass as well as piano, organ, digeridoo, clarinet penny whistle and saxophone. Behind all of this is Thaddeus Corea, who plays some driving percussion, which often times resembles Celtic marches and reels more than rock and roll. The band takes this melting pot of influences and styles and cooks up a tasty stew. On "If a real rocker that starts off with an agonized and angry Angela wailing, "If you don't love me, someone will the songs tears into a full-on, southern rock guitar riff backed by a bluesy fiddle harmony. From beginning to end, the album deals sensitively with the mixed emo- tions of someone healing after a los- ing a love. "This Misery" begins the album optimistically, but immediately after we are drawn deeper into the underlying emotions. � "Spirit" asks the questions we all want to ask a former lover: "Why do you love me?" "Were you lying when you said those things?" Consider the first verse Hey, I thought it was my spirit that made you fall in love I thought it was my love of life that ?hot you from above "Coy" builds up tension with a moody percussion arrangement that builds and climaxes with a soaring fiddle & guitar harmony in the cho- rus. Targeting those who rely on am- biguity and mind games, the song in- dicts them strongly. "Wake Up Sad with its vibra- phone and big band drum sound, fo- cuses on those who "pick the easy way" rather than enduring the struggles that come with a relationship. Angela's voice is very jazzy, like Lady Day her- self, tiptoeing around an obviously un- predictable person. Eventually, she concludes half regretfully, "So don't tell me that you love me The African percussion of "Child- hood" gives way to a soft tender, but tentative vocal, as Angela sums up the apprehensions and fears that have lain behind the agonized love songs on the album: "Back to childhood we must go to pay the price of what we sow back to being innocent left alone to conquer it expecting love and com- pany we get sympathy Paul pleads the case with a scorching fiddle solo, which bleeds into a sparse percussion & tin whisde break, and then to the final chorus of the album. Each song is its own adventure, and had I the space, I could find praise for every one.

If her ancestors could survive that, nothing is impossible. One of the reasons the cast of Big River gets along so well is that they have open minds about diversity. The theatre department is comprised of people from all over the United States, and from all different back- grounds. Professionalism demands that they accept each other's differ- ences and work well together. But most importantly, they have genuine respect for each other, which makes getting along easy. "America is too much ME and not enough EVERYBODY. People don't have enough respect for themselves to have respect for anyone else said cast member Michael Scialabba. "Just remember that this play is set about a hundred vears back - there aren't any slaves now said Jorel Jones. Jones is an example of the radi- cal diversity in Big River. At nine, he is one of the youngest members of the cast. "All I can say is just come see the show. Come see the closeness in the cast" said Jim Bray, who performs as both Simon and The Young Fool in the play. "There's no distance. Everybody's friends with everybody else. It's not about white or black. Even though that's part of what the show's about that's not what we're about" WANT FREE $$$? THEN JUST DO IT! Do it for yourself! Do it for your boyfriendgirlfriend!

Tool is back with an album that could be called the perfect portfolio for this band. From the artwork to the tunes, it's amazing. The album starts off with a song called "Stinkfist a tune that's cat- egorized by a vocal tone unheard of before. It sounds as if an answering machine was used to record Maynard James Keenan's voice. Keenan is a man who has the most bizarre stage presence in his- tory. He's creepy, yet intriguing - a feat that most couldn't follow through on. The fact is that people tend to run away from him but soon .notice that he's right behind them, staring at them in the face with eyes so deep that he could melt a steel wall to its core. On a lighter note, the band seems tc be experimenting more on this record than the last one. This band, above all else, is one of the tightest around. There is so much energy on this disc. It's hard to be- lieve if you understand how far out there these guys are, but the case proves itself. When you hear this album, you'll notice that it tells a story. Maybe not in any sr. :ific order, but with each song there's a lesson to be learned, a state of mind that you can appreci- ate, and a question unanswered. For example, listen to the fifth track on the album, "Forty Six & 2 It's starts off with a bass riff. It in- hales energy through the keyboards and exhales through, of course, Mr. Keenan's push. He keeps referring to his shadow and his mind. Maybe it's his mind that serves as his shadow, or it's his soul that serves as the shadow to his mind. I wouldn't put anything past him. Track number eight is called "In- termission It's not even a minute long, and it's probably the most im- pressive song on the album. It con- tains a keyboard and only a keyboard. It's totally unexpected and brought up just at the right time. You won't have time understand it because as soon as it's over, the next track is already in your head. Listening to this album puts you in a untouched zone, a world of your own. It's hard to listen to a track over again once the album gets going. Which brings us to the next piece of advice. When listening to this album, make sure you're in the moment. Don't jump-ahead in the record or fall behind what's happening on it. Listen to the song that's playing, the one in your head. Take it track by track, or you might miss something. And when you think it's over, keep listening. The last song, "Third Eye is over 13 minutes long. It's a song about drugs, claiming that "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on per- sonal freedom It makes sense. The band feels strongly about the things they do. You have to give them credit for never selling out. Inside this album you will find a piece of literature that you must read. It's an artist's view on anesthesia and how an absent state of mind is free- dom in itself. I urge you to not simply read these words as they are written. Literally, these words are what this band is about; however, there is so much more to this passage than meets the eye and the mind. "Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs al- low the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead.

You might be wondering what this is all about These are the words that are heard every day by ECUs' athletic trainers. The road to becoming an ECU stu- dent trainer is a very long and hard-trav- eled road. There is a lot of time put in without a whole lot of rewards. "In order to be successful in this field the key is time management Dr. Katie Walsh director of sports medicine athletic training said. "They are told this from their freshman year oa We want them to have fun here at ECU, but they have to be successful in time manage- ment Balance is the key Throughout the semester the "rook- ies as they are called in this program, will take classes and work in the field. They will rotate sports every two weeks. Throughout the year the program will lose students. By the end there are eight to 12 "rookies" left out of 60. This is a great feat by these students because they have so many other things that they could be doing, it just shows their hard work and dedication. "In this program the students have to prove themselves Walsh said. They have not only proven them- selves on the field, they have also proven themselves in the classroom. There were 26 students who made the honor roll, and 11 of those made the Dean's List With the amount of pressure put on them, that is a remarkable feat "These students are good and driven Walsh said. The ultimate goal of the student trainer is to become cer- tified trainers. This means they can work with a professional or col- lege sports team. Ronnie Barnes, an alumni of this program, is now a trainer for the professional football team the New York Giants. Being a student trainer is not a glam- orous job. They work long hours with little credit They have to make sure that an athlete who would normally be told by a regular physician that he can't play for six weeks is able to play that day or weekend. So, they have a lot of pressure on them. Some of the athletes they are working with could be making millions one day, so the trainers have to make sure that the athletes will be able to per- form. "The trainers do everything at an accelerated rate Dr. Walsh said. The best student trainers are the ones never seen, because they are work- ing so hard on the sidelines. They never get a break in the action; they are con- stantly working on injured players. "The trainers are a great and dy- namic group; they deserve a lot of credit Walsh said. The ECU student trainers help serve as the backbone to the ECU athletic pro- gram. They work very hard for little in- centives; come may work up to 40 hours a week, and they don't get paid. So, folks, when you are watching a sports team at ECU, don't forget that students just like you are watching over the athletes. Practice continues despite open week Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH Fullback Scott Harley and teammates will rest this Saturday in order to prepare for the next Thursday night's game on ESPN 2 with the Eagles of Southern Mississippi. Photo by CHRIS GAYDOSH Not only will the football team not be on the field this Saturday, but the band and cheerleaders won't be there either. For now they wiil prepare for next week's game. Skull and Crossbones crushes competition Web site offers best coverage of athletics Sean R. O'Brien Staff Writer Are you tired of always talking about ECU athletics and no one ever listening? Now you can state your opinions on The Skull and Crossbones web site on the Internet The Skull and Crossbones an in- teractive newsletter available now on the World Wide Web, allows one to talk about ECU athletics while at the same time providing excellent cov- erage of all ECU sports. The web site was named the num- ber one Internet source by The News and Observer on Tuesday, Sept 17, 1996. Rated second were the Wolf Chat room of N.C;�tate and the UNC Chat Arena for Chapel Hill. The pub- lisher and editor of the Skull and Crossbones, Coby S. Heath, a 73 ECU graduate, was elated by the recogni- tion. "We have worked diligently to provide the very best web site to ECU fans, but this recognition is a tribute to the passion and pride of ECU sup- porters Heath said. "They are in- deed a special people The Skull and Crossbones offers a daily news page, contest page created with a talkboard that has had over 40,000 visitors since May 1, mostly students and alumni. The web site tries to offer fans feature stories and human inter- est stories that might get over- looked by some other media "We are in- medium that is truly one of the great pioneering frontiers of our modern society Heath said. "Everyone is try- ing to find a way to make this me- dium successful, both financially and as a media source Heath encourages students to visit the web site and to become in- volved, but cautions that there are some rules on the talkboard regard- ing the use of profanity. outlets, volved in a "Profanity is not allowed on our web site, so if you can't say it on Sesame Street it probably is not worth saying Heath said. "I am a firm be- liever in freedom of expression, but stifling fan opinion doesn't help our cause Heath also has a book due out this fall entitled, Purple Pride: It's More Than a Game The book takes an in-depth look at the history of Pirate football and its coaches from the 70's through the Logan era. Heath's main reason for writ- ing the book was to find Jir out why Pirate fans are the way they are about their passion for Pirate football. "I want people of eastern North Carolina to see where our football team came from, how it got here and where it's going Heath said. You can find the Skull and Crossbones on the Internet at this address-http: www.crossbones.com Spartans hand volleyball team loss Sean R. O'Brien Staff Writer With no game this week, players still hit the field Amanda Ross Sport Editor With a week off, the ECU foot- ball team will have plenty of time to concentrate for next week's up- coming Southern Mississippi game. On Oct. 10, the Pirates will play at home on ESPN 2 at 8 p.m. But don't think Coach Steve Logan is letting his players take it lightly this week. In a typical week the Pirates practice WedFri play a game on Saturday and practice on Sunday. The only day off they receive is Monday. Logan is sticking to the same schedule but will give the team Saturday off. However, the players aren't practicing with this in mind. "We are practicing like we have a game to get ready for Logan said. "We are going to give the guys off on Saturday and get back here early next week and polish every- thing for Southern Miss When Southern Miss hosted ECU last year, it was a pivotal game to see which team would be a win closer to competing in the Liberty Bowl. ECU pulled off a last second upset and beat the Eagles 36-34. The Pirates know that this is not a team to be taken lightly. Practice, for the most part, has re- mained on the same level as if there were an upcoming game. "We went full speed today Logan said after Tuesday's practice. "Practice was a little less intense today because we don't have a game on Saturday, but everyone still worked really hard With two tough road trips and a home game behind them, ECU is taking this time to rejuvenate. "We're a little bit of a tired football team right now Logan said. . To some players, having the week off is not a big con- cern. "I'd rather just keep on play- ing and stay in the flow split end Troy Smith said. "There are a couple of people banged up and this off-week will help Quarterback Marcus Crandell sees this time as "We are going to give the guys off on Saturday and get back here early next week and polish everything for Southern Miss � Head Coach Steve Logan an opportunity to get ready for a Southern Miss team that is hungry for revenge. "We need to prepare mentally for them Crandell said. "They're a hard-nose football team. They're going to come in and hit hard and we need to be prepared for them and this is coming at a good time ECUs women's volleyball team played host to UNC-Greensboro Mon- day night, winning only one game out of a four game match. The team seemed to get off to a rough start in the first game, trailing 10-3. They would bounce back and tie the game at 10-10 and seemed to have the momentum shifted their way, but the Spartans rallied back to take a 16-14 win at the end of game one. The second game started off just like the first, with the Spartans jump- ing off to a 9-1 lead early in the game. The Pirates were not going to go down without a fight however, and they battled back to pull within three at 14-11. The team got behind too early in the game and UNC-G took the sec- ond game 15-11. The third game shaped up to be a better outing for ECU than the per- vious b"o games. The Pirates jumped on UNL-C early and were able to hold onto the lead throughout the game, something they have not been able to do lately according to side hitter Sh- annon Kaess, who also served the game winning ace to beat the Spar- tans 15-8. "We started out pretty slow and we have had a tendency to do that, but we're working on it" Kaess said. "Ijn the third game we had to show them that we were not going to quit and we came away with the win The Pirates eventually lost the fourth game 15-5 after letting UNC-G go on a 6-0 run early in the game. The Lady Pirates did have their bright spots throughout the game however, with two freshmen, Julia D'Alo and Kaess, stepping up their games to a new level. ECU was also able to gain support offensively from Kari Koenning as well as defensive play by Kristen Woodruff. The play by Kaess has been one reason the Pirates have been able to keep the games close Head Coach Kim Walker sees the impact that Kaess is having on the team. "She's a real solid ball player and she is carrying the weight for us quite a bit on the outside position Walker said. "She's giving us about three kills a game and that is about the top five or six in the conference right now While Walker is pieased by the play of Kaess, she also knows that she doesn't want to use her too much. "We're using her a little too much in our offense Walker said. "She swung at about 60 balls tonight and when you're playing all around the court and you're hitting and jumping at least 60 time including blocking, it gets a little tough on you and it can break you down a bit Kaess also knows the burden of swinging at too many balls, but she doesn't mind the actioj. "It's really exhausting, especially on the swing hitter Kaess said. "You pass first, then you have to get up there and hit, but it's fun Walker seemed to be a bit puzzled by Monday nights losses, but thinks the team is in a good position for the rest of the season. "We're playing well we're play- ing good defense and digging the ball well, but we are not finding a way to terminate the ball Walker said. "I can't ask them to play their systems any better and I can't ask the setter to play a better game; it's frustrat- ing that we are working and playing as good as we are and still losing Walker sees the improvement that her team has made since the be- ginning of the season and remains optimistic about the rest of the sea- son. One spot she knows they will have to improve on is their hitting, "Our hitting has been our Achil- les heel all year, and the game of vol- leyball is about hitting Walker said. "We have to find a way to put the ball on the floor and if we can do that, I think we will have a good sec- ond half of the season NOTE: The ECU volleyball team did bounce back to beat Hampton University 15-6, 15-4, 15-9, Tuesday night ECU is now 5-13 and heads into a long break. Play begins again Oct 12 as the Pirates will be on the road against the College of Charleston. The match is set to begin at 1 p.m. T WPMMM IF 12 Thursday, October 3, 1996 The East Carolinian Panthers without Biakabutuka �r 'The challenge this week is for our players to pick up the slack, because we're going to be without a number of good players �Coach Dom Capers (AP) - Rookie half-back Tshimanga Biakabutuka, an ex- pected building block in the Caro- lina Panthers' developing offense, is to undergo surgery for a torn knee ligament and will miss the rest of the year. ���� "I feel very, very sad for him Caro- lina general manager Bill Polian said Monday, one day after Biakabutuka was injured in the Panthers' 24-14 loss to Jacksonville. "He was hav- ing a great rookie season A mag- netic reSO- ammmmmmmmmmmmm nance imaging test conducted Monday showed a tear in the anteriorcruciate liga- ment in Biakabutuka's left knee. He is to undergo surgery next week, fol- lowed by eight months of rehabili- tation, Polian said. "The prognosis is for a com- plete recovery Polian said. To take Biakabutuka's roster spot, the Panthers reached agree- ment Monday with Leroy Hoard on a one year contract Hoard, a six year NFL veteran, was cut last Tues- day by Baltimore after rushing for 61 yards on 15 carries. He was en route to Charlotte on Monday night and was scheduled to take a physi- cal on Tuesday. Hoard could be used as soon as Sunday's game at Minnesota in place of Biakabutuka, a former Michigan star the Panthers took T with the eighth overall pick in the ! 1996 draft. Carolina selected Biakabutuka � with the hopes he could comple- j ment quarterback Kerry Collins, the ! franchise's first pick. Biakabutuka, who set Michigan records last year with 303 rushes for 1,818 yards, missed the Panthers' training camp because of a 27- day contract holdout. After signing a seven year, $12.7 million con- tract on Aug. 16, the 6- foot 215- pound Biakabutuka quickly began pay- ing dividends, demonstrating power and speed while bringing sta- bility to the Pan- thers' running game. He rushed for 69, 72, and 69 yards in the Pan- thers' first three games - all victo- ries that helped Carolina to first place in the NFC West. Without Biakabutuka, the Pan- thers' rushing duties will fall on Hoard, who has averaged 4 yards per carry in the league; fullback Howard Griffith, limited to mainly blocking duties with Carolina; Anthony Johnson and Dino Philyaw, who have struggled for playing time; and 5-7, 180 pound rookie Winslow Oliver, who has been used primarily as a third- down receiver coming out of the backfield. Biakabutuka's injury was one of three significant ones the Panthers suffered Sunday. Defensive end Mike Fox. who led Carolina's linemen in most sta- tistical categories last year, sprained his left arch and is to spend 2-3 weeks in a cast, the team said Mon- day. Fox will likely miss four weeks. Starting offensive guard Frank Garcia fractured a bone in his left foot and will miss about three weeks. "The challenge this week is for our players to pick up the slack, be- cause we're going to be without a number of good players Coach Dom Capers said. The Panthers had better news regarding Collins, who led them to a 9-6 record before suffering a sprained left knee Sept. 8. Collins will take over the starting reins again after being relieved by Steve Beuerlein the past two weeks. "It's good enough to go out and it's good enough to take a hit Collins said. "I think that's kind of where we're at right now. Is it healed 100 percent? No. It probably won't be for some time. But it's good enough to play, basically Collins played late in the fourth quarter Sunday after Beuerlein went down with cramps in his calf muscles. Collins completed two of six passes for 42 yards and led the Panthers to their final touchdown, and he ran for the two-point conversion. "I was rusty Collins said. "When you don't get the reps in prac- tice and you don't do things for an extended period of time, it's hard. I felt like I was still on my reads and everything , but it was just not as automatic as it usually is. But that'll come. That'll come in practice this week, and hopefully by Sunday ev- erything should be back to normal com;c30o convention Sunday October 13,1996 Greenville Blvd. Call &58-6909 for info SILVER Doors Open 7:30 pm Stage Time 9:00 pm 756-6278 BdLLET TUESDAY: Lingerie Night WEDNESDAY: Amateur Night and Silver Bullet Dancers THURSDAY: Country & Western Night FRI & SAT: Silver Bullet Exotic Dancers 'Siller DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
