Jim Hunt may have no place to turn if he tries to follow through with a proposal to speed up drunken-driving cases by assigning a corps of emergency judges to re- duce backlogs.

Students wonder about Recreation Center opening Scott Hopkins Staff Writer In recent months there has been a lot of controversy about the role that student fees and tuition rlay in the ev- eryday workings of the university. One of these issues has been the constant delay in construction of ECU's new rec- reational center. The classes of 1996 and beyond are questioning whether they will be able to use the student recre- ational center, whose opening has been delayed al- most nine months due to production problems. "There have been a number of calls from students asking if and when the recreation cen- ter will be opened said Nancy Mize, director of recre- ational services. The new stu- dent recreational center was set to be finished as of No- vember of 1995. This project was work- ing in conjunction with the new library renovations. The opening time for the center was pushed back last fall to mid- spring semester and then to the fall of 19. "The first general contractor went bankrupt then we had a series of prob- lems with material quality and produc- tion said Mize. "All of this combined with a difficulty of subcontractors and small 'punch-list' items, the center's opening was delayed until November There is also a rumored increase in student fees which will be used to pay for the completion of construction. According to Dean of Students Ronald Speier, the student fees increase had been planned in order to cover many university funded costs. "We had planned for a phased in- crease over a couple of years in order to pay for building and maintenance Speier said. "Today you are paying for construction. When it's operational, your students fees will help to pay for upkeep and maintenance Student fees have been growing since the class of 1991 graduated. Ac- cording to Recreational Services, a debt service fee was established in order to get bonds for construction. The fee for this bond was $13 in 1991; the bond now costs students $96. Students also pay an activities fee of $100. This is an increase from $82, which was raised last year. "One thing that students don't realize is that a lot of their fees come right back to them through payment of on-campus jobs Mize said. The new rec- reational center will employ over 250 students, most of which are already employed by Recreational Services. "There is no state money in- volved in the con- struction or main- tenance of the center Mize said. "There is a mis- "There is a misconception that students alone will cover the bill for this, faculty and staff will also pay an annual fee of $240 in order to help upkeep the new center � Nancy Mize, director of recreational services conception that students alone will cover the bill for this; faculty and staff will also pay an annual fee of $240 in order to help upkeep the new center ECU is now in the finishing stages of construction of the center. However, the center still must have the approval of the State Department of Construc- tion. "The department of construction is scheduled to look at the center from the 28th of October to the 30th Mize said. "Once this is done, and final prob- lems have been fixed, there will be a final inspection Recreational Services foresees an- other three to four weeks in order to move in equipment along with a new climbing wall which will take about two weeks. However, they feel the best case scenario for the opening will be the end of November to early December. The new, spacious recreation facility is nearing completion and has a new completion date of late November early December. The facility will employ over 250 students.

This is oniy the fourth loss in 74 games for the 'Canes in the Orange Bowl. Poll responses saved Fall and Spring breaks Amy L. Royster Assistant News Editor A revised Fall 1997 academic calendar, which adds nine days to the current calendar, was approved in an unanimous vote by the Faculty Sen- ate last Tuesday. The decision stems from a man- date called for over the summer by UNC-system President C. D. Spangler which requires all universities in the system to hold classes for 150 days. Spangler asked that universities not cut Labor Day. Good Friday or Mar- tin Luther King Day from the calendar. Spangler also said reading days may not count as class days. John Crammer, chair of the Calendar Committee, sought student, faculty and staff input through a poll offering two revi- sions to the calendar. According to Charles Chamberlain. representative of the Faculty Chair, the new calendar reflects opinions received through the poll. "The students, faculty and staff went hand-iri-hand in what they wanted Chamberlain said. "Every- one felt keeping Fall Break, Thanks- giving and Spring Break was very im- portant Chamberlain said students indi- cated that they preferred keeping Reading Day as well. Approximately 465 faculty members responded to the poll and over 500 student re- sponses were collected. The calendar committee pre- sented a revised calendar, which adds nine days while maintaining holidays. 'The big difference in the calen- dar is that students will go later in the fall semester and that there will be no break between the Spring se- See FALL page 6 Revised Fall 1997 Calendar Aug. 19Schedule Changes Aug. 20Classes begin Sept. 1Labor Day Oct. 4-7Fall Break Nov. 26-30Thanksgiving Break Dec. 10Classes end Dec. 11Reading Day Dec. 12Exams begin Dec. 13Commencement Dec. 19Exams end IdAtde Finding the best Halloween costumepage C7 River runs through our Editor-in-chiefpage O 'Canes blown away by Piratespage I iL Tuesday Sunny High Low 70 67 Wednesday Sunny High Low 70 67 Phone (newsroom) 328 - 6366 (advertising) 328-2000 Fax 328 - 6558 E-Mail UUTEC@ECUVM.OtS.ECU.EDU The East Carolinian Student Publication Bldg. 2nd floor Greenville, NC 27858 Student Pubs Building; across from Joyner � Tuesday, Ocotber 22,1996 The East Carolinian Campus accidents go unreported Anst-Helms posters disappear mysteriously Posters of Sen.

Dancer at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, questions role of race in dismissal and reinstatement Freshman Telisha Shaw spent her entire summer dreaming of being a member of the UT pompon squad. However, her dreams were halted abruptly when she was kicked off the team 12 days before the first home football game. She's since been reinstated to the team, but only as an alternate. The question as to why she was dismissed in the first place remains vague. Shaw said she thinks her skin color had something to do with her dismissal. The athletic department denies allegations of racism, saying Shaw had violated team politics. Athletic Director Doug Dickey said people are dismissed from time to time for violations of team politics. The ath- letic department declined to explain exactly what those violations were. Student at Missouri University sexually assaulted The Columbia Police Department last Monday said an MU student reported she was sexually assaulted at the Kappa Alpha Fraternity around three o'clock in the morning Sept 28. Police said the matter is still under investigation and could not re- veal details of the case. Mark Vipond, Kappa Alpha Fraternity president declined to comment to Maneater, MU's student newspaper. University of Tennessee, Knoxville, screens students for depression There are times when crying doesn't make the pain go away, when just a little bit of stress is too much, when everything seems hopeless. Sometimes these blue periods go on, and thoughts turn even darker. When such thoughts are prolonged, it is called clinical depression. According to Janie Pipkin, program director of the Mental Health Association of Greater Knoxville, one in four women and one in five men suffer from clinical depression. UT responded by offering free depression screenings for students. Self-assessment tests which took 10 minutes to administer were offered to students. Compiled by Amy L. Royster. Taken from various college newspapers and CPS. Cars, bicycles, pedestrians involved Angela Koenig Staff Writer Driving on campus is posing a problem to ECU students not only because of parking, but also due to the number of traffic accidents in- volving cars, bicycles and pedestri- ans. As of Oct. 15, the ECU Police Department reports that there has oruy been one reported accident be- tween a car and a pedestrian out of 105 reported traffic accidents. It is not known how many unreported ac- cidents occur on campus. Freshman Lori Smith was a vic- tim of an unreported bicycle-car col- lision. She was struck by a driver who failed to stop at a stop sign. Her injuries included a bruise on her leg approximately the size of a football, a sprained wrist and a torn muscle in her leg. Her bike was also destroyed. "The person gave me his name and license number and promised to pay for my bike. However, the acci- dent took place within the first few weeks of school, and he has not called yet Smith said. "I didn't feel it was necessary (to report the incident). I decided to be nice about it. College kids have no money and he would have had to pay for the ticket, fines and my bike Smith said. The cost of reporting such acci- dents may be one reason why driv- ers are hesitant to report them to in- surance companies. Hitting a pedes- trian and causing any amount of bodily injury carries a penalty of three points on a driver's insurance. One point causes an average in- crease of 25 percent on the cost of insurance. Three points increases in- surance rates an average of 60-75 per- cent. An individual increase depends on the coverage, type of car of the insured person and the insurance company. If only property damage occurs, the number of points given is deter- mined by the amount of damage. Less than $1000 is one point, between $1000 to $2000 is two points and more than $2000 is three points. Amanda Braddy of Styons Insur- ance Agency said that most people do not file claims if only property damage occurs. If property damage occurs, there is usually bodily injury. "Nine out of 10 times the victim is taken to the hospital to be checked out and that would be a claim be- cause we (the insurance company) wou!d have to cover those medical bills Braddy said. "People driving cars on campus need to be more aware of the stop signs, speed limits and crosswalks. After tll, this is a college campus and there are people walking to campus and riding bikes to class. With a little bit more awareness, things like this (accidents) won't happen Smith said. Students warned of scant attempts Not all financial aid offers are legit Jennifer Barnes Staff Writer Almost everyone who is a col- lege student has gone through the process of trying to get scholarships, financial aid, or other types of money to pay for their schooling. The Office of Student Financial Aid is one of the groups trying to help these students actually find the fi- nancial help they need, and avoid getting scammed out of their money. There are many scholarship searches out there that offer help. Some charge a small fee, some don't. Some guarantee to get you money, while others cannot. The hard part here is not finding help, but deci- phering between those that really do help you, and those that only hurt you. When a student is trying to de- cide if the organization will be ben- eficial to hisher needs, a lot of them decide to go to ECU's finan- cial aid office to seek help. Associ- ate Director Karen Barbee says that they warn students of suspicious offers. "We get a lot of inquiries from students here Barbee said. "We tell them to approach with caution It is important to always re- search and look out for signs of any kind of scam. Assistant Director Maryanne Jenkins says that there are a few things that may seem OK, but usually mean trouble. "You should look out for any offer that guarantees results Jenkins said. "Also look out for ones that require any kind of payment Some groups make a living scamming students out of their money. It is usually those who are the hardest to catch. Barbee admits that they usually can't warn you of them because of their difficulty of being located. "For the illegitimate groups, it is an ongoing process Barbee said. "They are constantly changing their names or moving Barbee said that the legitimate groups are usually available for re- search. "The legitimate groups provide you with information where you can go and look Barbee said. "There are also services on the Web Barbee and Jenkins both agree that students need to realize that it will take a lot of research to find the trustworthy groups. Jenkins said that a number of the students look more for an easier way, and that is what gets them in trouble.

Kellum Senior Writer With the elections coming up in less than a month, students will soon be heading for the polls. That is. if they are registered to vote. Thanks in no small part to the combined efforts of the ECU College Democrats. Students for Gantt, and volunteers working with past ECU senior class president Bill Gheen. more ECU students than ever before are registered to vote. Gheen said that the intense drive to get students registered was an important endeavor, since so many of the issues being discussed in the elections will affect students. "it's very important that young people participate in the process. A lot of the races they can vote on this November involve issues that have a very real impact on students and young people in the community Gheen said. Larry Freeman of the College Democrats agreed with Gheen on the importance of having students registered to vote, and said there are specific issues in this year's election that make it even more important for ECU students to be aware of the issues involved in this year's races. "We have legislators like Henry Aldridge that want to cut $50 mil lion from ECU'S budget Freeman said. Although the registration effort was organized and carried out by special interest organizations, their goal was to register everyone, re- gardless of political affiliation. "We have conducted a bi- partisan registra- tion process. We registered Demo- crats. Republi- cans, and inde- pendents. We want for ECU to be a progressive campus when it comes to voter registration Freeman said. Gheen said that voter regis- tration had in- creased dramati- polls Gheen said. People who live on campus will go to the Elm St. gym to vote, while those living between 5th St. and Tar River will go to the Willis Building on Reading and 1st. If anyone needs a ride or information, they can call 551-6900. Both Free- man and Gheen stressed that the success of the voter registra- tion effort was attributable to all the groups and volunteers involved. Free- man pointed out that it is often hard to get vol- unteers from the student popula- tion for this kind of activity, and "On election day, there will be several mini vans, called vote vans, that will be providing rides to the polls � Bill Gheen, past SGA president cally this year all over the country, with nine million new voters regis- tered. This is due in part to the "mo- tor voter" legislation which made it possible for citizens to register when they renewed their driver's license. There were also several other changes in the registration process that made it easier to register. In addition to the registration efforts, these groups have also tried to make sure that students are in- formed about where to go on elec- tion day and that they have a way to get there. "On election day, there will be several mini vans, called vote vans, that will be providing rides to the those twho did volunteer put many long hours into the registration drive. "It puts that old stereotype to bed of students being lazy and apa- thetic Freeman said. While the drive to get students registered seemed to have yielded positive results, judging by the num- bers, it remains to be seen if the stu- dents will now actually vote on elec- tion day. "We're hoping to see one of the largest voter turnouts in ECU his- tory Gheen said. "We hope that people will take the time and not be apathetic, because this is impor- tant Gheen added.

Phillies-Van Heusen WASHINGTON (AP) - American clothing companies could cut down on the use of child labor in foreign plants that supply their products by better enforcing their own -ules against such work, a Labor Depart- ment report says. The department said today that American businesses are increasingly adopting codes of conduct for their suppliers following a spate of recent bad publicity over child workers. The report recommended that all American retailers, manufacturers and buyers adopt stronger and more uni- form standards and strictly enforce them. "Private industry now recognizes that it can take steps to make sure boys and girls are not robbed of their childhood Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich said. But he added, "No code of conduct is worth the papei it's printed on without strict enforce- ment "Codes of conduct are not a pana- cea the report said. "Child labor remains a serious problem - with hundreds of millions of children work- ing around the world" in dismal con- ditions at substandard wages. The survey found that child la- bor remains pervasive in small facto- ries and homes in some countries, particularly in Asia, but is "not now prevalent" in the Latin American countries surveyed. The department examined the companies' codes and visited six coun- tries that make clothing for U.S. firms - the Dominican Republic, El Salva- dor, Guatemala, Honduras, India and the Philippines. The survey found that 36 of the 45 largest apparel Companies have adopted standards against child labor. Only four of the companies, the Gap, Levi Strauss, Phillips-Van Heusen and Sears, reported that they had encoun- tered cases of child labor. While the companies had distrib- uted codes of conduct to their suppli- ers, only 22 of 70 plant managers said they told their workers about them. Only 21 had posted the codes in work areas, the report said. Concern over child labor has mounted as imports of apparel have steadily climbed. The department said more than half of the $178 billion worth of garments sold in the United States in 1995 were imported, com- pared with 30 per cent in 1980. funds WASHINGTON (AP)-The Environ- mental Protection Agency has spent more than $1 million since 1993 on train- ing seminars at ritzy resorts or on sub- jects unrelated to environment such as "defensive driving" or speed-reading courses, according to congressional in- vestigators. Posh inns in West Virginia, a beach- front hotel in Puerto Rico and a moun- tain resort in Colorado were among ven- ues chosen for classes and conferences, Republican investigators with the House Government Reform and Oversight Com- mittee reported. Training sessions included -Four-day seminars on improving managers' productivity, held at various resorts in West Virginia and Maryland. Cost $20,000 per seminar. -A $7,000, one-day session at a beach hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to train EPA lawyers on preparing for ad- ministrative hearings. -A twoday auditors' conference at a Breckenridge, Colo lodge costing $4,400. The committee said it identified $1.4 million in "questionable" EPA training expenses between 1993 and 1995. The agency was among the worst offenders in the committee's investigation of inap- propriate spending on federal employee training programs, said committee chair- man William Clinger, R-Pa. "What is especially offensive about EPA's action is that the Clinton adminis- tration has repeatedly requested in- creases in EPA's budget while doing noth- ing to curb this wasteful spending Clinger charged. All the training was for employees who earned more than $50,000 a year, a committee aide said. The EPA defended the seminars as training sessions necessary to boost worker performances, like those any com- pany or agency sponsors. Some classes must be held outside EPA offices to accommodate large groups, spokesman David Cohen said, but the agency keeps costs down by choosing hotels near employees' offices and paying less than commercial firms for outside trainers. "The EPA takes a very conservative tack when it comes to training Cohen said. "It doesn't cost a lot to reserve a room or stay somewhere close by The EPA spent $10.8 million on training for its 17,200 employees, about 1 percent of its overall budget Private companies typically spend 3 percent to 5 percent of staff costs on training. - Some seminars had nothing to do with environmental issues. The agency's office of solid waste and emergency re- sponse spent tens of thousands of dol- lars on Evelyn Wood speed-reading courses, business writing classes, driving courses and seminars on resolving con- flicts among employees. Cohen said some EPA employees must read through voluminous files. Im- proving their reading speed boosts pro- ductivity, he said. The $20,000 seminars on produc- trvity were to teach required management skills to staffers up for promotion to se- nior jobs, Cohen said. Run by an outside firm, the semi- nars imitate actual executive settings and have "specific logistical requirements an EPA training official said. The West Virginia resort was chosen because it's close to the agency's Washington head- quarters. "These are the kind of things that can't be put on in a government confer- ence room. There's not enough room Cohen said. SCAM from page 2 these phony organizations, and it's not just students who do.

President Clinton approved the nation's toughest crackdown on tobacco directly effecting tobacco farm- ers in the eastern part of the state. With ECU sitting in the heart of tobacco country, students whose families depend on tobacco for their livelihood are undoubtedly following the situation closely. While it is important to remember that this univer- sity lies in the middle of the conflict and has been shaped by students and educators alike whose families depend on tobacco, it is not necessarily appropriate to curse everything that attempts to regulate the industry. For example, the recent crackdown on tobacco is an effort to reduce teen smoking by classifying nicotine as an addictive drug. Now, the Food and Drug Administra- tion will be able to regulate the advertising and avail- ability of tobacco products. Just because tobacco is king in eastern North Caro- lina doesn't mean that we want the industry to have the freedom to target advertisements towards youths who are underage. These new regulations would prevent sell- ing cigarettes in vending machines. Who can protest this? There are not beer and liquor vending machines fromwhich underage buyers can purchase alcohol. Lawmakers from across the state were furious at the presidents decision. "The president is declaring war on 76,000 North Carolinians who gain their lr elihood in one form or another from tobacco Sen. Jesse Helms, RN.C. said. Tobacco farmers are worried that this is the first step in a series of government regulations that may ruin the industry. Still, comments like Helms' are overstated. This step in itself is a step towards protecting children from a life-long addiction whose complications often re- sult in death. Underage smoking doesn't have the same taboo as- sociated with it as underage drinking does. Unfortu- nately, since nicotine is an addictive substance, and it is generally more accepted by society than other addictive drugs, youths easily fail prey. The new classification of nicotine as an addictive substance is an encouraging step towards addressing the seriousness of the problem of underage smoking. Anything derogatory to the tobacco industry is not popular in this area. However, neither should anything be popular in this area that promotes underage smok- ing. &etten& t t6e Sdito Funding for Ficklen wasteful To the Editor, According to The Daily Reflec- tor, $18,000,000 must be raised through tuition and donations to build additional horseshoe seating in Ficklen stadium. At most home foot- ball games, even against the most popular teams, none of the seating in the end sections or the press box built in the early 1980's is anywhere near full. At Duke, N.C. State and other schools, the horseshoe ends of those stadiums rarely contain more than a few people who are more con- cerned with drinking alcoholic bev- erages than watching the game. Yet, in Greenville, the ordinary working low wage workers and the student classes are expected to foot the "lion's share" of this kind of con- struction for the benefit of the wealthy corporate interests and "big board sports" media. Already, we, the students of East Carolina pay a huge tuition surcharge for the con- struction of additional seating for basketball in Minges Coliseum. That policy was decided upon after all student programs such as a large weight -oom were removed from Minges, - id the entire south end of campus was devoted to varsity rev- enue athletics. Under these aggres- sive new financial policies, a few wealthy individuals in professional sports and the corporate interest benefit at the expense of everybody else. The "leaders of our society" will then claim that it is all to our benefit since we buy the tickets and sodas and what not, therefore we enjoy it along with our Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola. Therefore it is not understood why Richard Becker and KEO 1925 5; The East Carolinian Brandon Wadded, Editor-in-Chief Celeste Wilson, Production Manager Matt liege, Advertising Director Marguerite Benjamin, News Editor Randy Miller, Asst.

The one that got away few others bellyache about a few ex- tra dollars that they, the poor are asked to shell out forit. I am aware that the coaches, ad- ministrators and others are saying, "We gotta compete with schools like Wake Forest, then Duke, Chapel Hill, NC State and Clemson, get into their league so we can make big bucks. We gotta build high-dollar facilities for revenue athletics that are equal to or better than theirs That's un- derstandable, and of benefit to the region, but it is the rich who should pay the bill, the millionaires, the cor- porations, Governor Hunt, Jesse Helms and their wealthy circle of friends, and surplus revenue in the state budget. Richard F. Becker Senior Political Science Stress mine's still 30 to 35 miles off the coast of Wrightsville Beach. I don't know the nautical co- ordinates if one wereto search for my stress but Capt. Robbie Wolfe could take you to it if you chartered his boat for the day. Diametrically opposed to my dad's advice, I went deep-sea fishing for the first time over Fall Break with some friends. The original plan was attending some job interviews back home in Hampton, VA over the re- cent break from classes; but no! "C'mon, let's go deep-sea fishing over Fall Break a friend suggested. I won't lie. He didn't have to twist my arm. The stresses and strains of stu- dent life in Greenville mounts fast - not just from being a student, but from also having to hold down addi- tional jobs to survive. Ah yes, but before 1 sealed the lid on my stressbox, I took a good long look at what I was casting out to sea to ensure I forgot nothing: 12 hours of classes; behind in school- work; apply for graduation in May; find a job for after graduation; cur- rently having two jobs and not being able to make ends meet; the disturb- ing thought that Jesse Helms might be re-elected; attorney general inves- Brandon Waddell Edltor-iihChM tigating The East Carolinian for li- bel due to a complaint lodged by a member of SGA and I bounced two checks last month. Stressbox-over- board. Everything was there, hopefully on the bottom of the ocean floor. I hope my stressbox doesn't float to the surface, wash to shore and hitch- hike northward to my duplex in Greenville. Fall Break's fishing trip was lit- erally the best time I have ever had in my life. The therapeutic current of the Gulf Stream's warm waters made me feel born again. The five of us, none whom had been deep-sea fishing before, left Greenville at 4 a.m. Thursday morn- ing headed toward Wrightsville Beach. Once on board the Whipsaw, Capt. Wolfe and his mate Greg Hall slowly steered the boat toward the ocean. As the boat left the sound, the clouds appeared to be on fire as the morning sun shone through them. The water was like glass and as smooth as silk. "Downrigger Wolfe yelled. "What the hell is a downrigger?" I asked. "That wheel on the back of boat hooked to the fishing line, schoolboy he answered. He completely caught me by sur- prise with this fishtalk, but from the point he yelled "downrigger the first time, his lines couldn't stop catching fish. Our limit in fish was complete by 12:30 p.m. Who goes out and catches their limit that fast? No one. None of us even got seasick. But now it's back to the Green- ville grind. Mid-terms are coming up. rent's due next week, paper due in Correctional Law, paper due in music and newspapers to produce. Now that I reflect back on my trip, I should have tied a cement block around that box. Clean up after tailgating To the Editor, Is it plain laziness or just imma- ture, ignorant and irresponsible ECU students! sic Now that hopefully I have your attention, 1 guess you want to know what I am talking about I am referring to the huge mess of beer cans, beer bottles, KFC boxes and all of the other trash that the majority of ECU students seem to thrw on the ground during their tailgate parties near the stadium. I am an avid sports fan and definitely a huge Pirate fan, but I am totally embarrassed by the mess my fellow students leave behind game after game. We are soon going to be the leaders of this wonderful country that we reside in, and we will be the only ones responsible for our actions. Your mother will not (and currently is not) going to be there to clean up your mess anymore. 1 believe that is you can bring your supplies to the game then you also can bring the remainder of these materials back home with you. This is our school, our country and our future and only you can destroy that! 1 do fell sic though that I must give some credit where it is do, so I will. I want to thank the wonderful staff that ECU has established to clean up after our horrendous mess. 1 feel sorry for the long hours that these men an women put in to clean up behind a lazy stu- dent body at ECU.

So join in another futile attempt to change the status quo and lis- ten to a "Scream at the Wall Jay Myers Lifestyle Editor As much as I have complained in this column about the state of the South and the seemingly un- changing intolerance and prejudice that is spouted by many of its in- habitants (including a few that are continually elected to public of- fice), I have to say that there are moments when change truly hap- pens. National focus tends to be put on those events that cause strife and agony rather than the more positive events of peace and for- giveness that (rarely) can and do happen. Whereas stories about gangsters, wife beaters, murders of children, natural disasters, and scummy politicians tend to be re- ported on the front page regularly, those stories which actually have relevance to the betterment of our society are told in a relatively quiet manner or are only given a cur- sory glance. Ten days ago, Vivian Malone Jones made news that should have been top headlines on most major newspapers but was instead rel- egated to the back pages. Who is this woman, you may ask? Well, the whole world knew her name on June 11, 1963 when she and James Hood were blocked from attending the University of Alabama by then governor George Wallace. Although Jones (then un- married) and Hood had the back- ing of the National Guard and the governor was under orders from United States attorney general Robert F. Kennedy to let them en- ter the school. Wallace protested their arrival because they were black and he believed in segrega- tion. Jones and Hood did enter the University of Alabama that day, and after enduring two years of verbal harassment and ostracism, Jones graduated in 1965. Wallace has since denounced his segregationist views and has publicly apologized to Jones and Hood for his acts on that day. Now 77 years old, suffering from Parkinson's disease and wheel- chair-bound from an assassination attempt in 1972, Wallace rarely makes any public appearances. However, he made exception on OcL 10 when the foundation he created gave its first annual cour- age award to Vivian Malone Jones. The Lurleen Wallace award (named for Wallace's first wife) is to be given to women who have made major improvements in Ala- bama and Wallace wanted Jones to receive the first one in recogni- tion for her bravery in the face of adversity. Both Jones and Hood have forgiven the former governor and believe that he is a changed man. And I do, too. Although the focus rightly deserves to be on Jones and Hood for their achieve- ments, let's take a moment and consider what Wallace's change of heart and mind means. If someone who was so stead- fast in his belief that races should be separated that he took a public stance against the United States See WALL page 11 With a little more than a week left, the big day is fast approaching.

So far, the big seller for chil- dren is the Esmerelda costume from the popular summer flick The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Schwab said.

Schwab said the store gets a lot of sorority and fraternity member, and other groups of students, look- ing for costumes that will match . certain theme, such as characters from The Wizard of Oz or other films or TV shows.

This series will look at some of the films that didn 't make the Greenville cut, the ones that got away Dale Williamson Assistant Lifestyle Editor The brotherly team of Joel and Ethan Coen is a unique one. They are both extremely talented and creative filmmakers who have produced some of the past decade's most unique, eclectic and daring movies. Blood Simple, the Coen brothers' first feature, breathed fresh life into the film noir genre. Raising Arizona proved to hilarious effect that Joel and Ethan could handle comedy. Miller's Crossing stands as one of the best gangster films ever made. Barton Fink, while not their best work, still exhibited the originality that has come to be associated with See FARGO page 10 to name a few. In fact, Nelson has played every year to date, which only makes sense considering he is the president of Farm Aid. Farm Aid was started in 1985 by Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, and John Conlee. Originally designed as a one-time event to raise money to support family farm- ers, Farm Aid has become an an- nual event. Every year since has proven to be a mix of rock, coun- try and folk, but none have mixed as well as this year's show. For those lucky enough to have press passes, the day started off with a conference for the media. Though the interviewing started out in a jovial spirit, Neil Young quickly brought attention back to the purpose of the show. Young stated that the chemi- cals which the government insists farmers use are killing the land and now organic seems the way to go. However, in order to be organic, you must have growth for three years without chemical use. During those three years, no support can be taken from either the organic sponsors nor the government and many farmers "lose their ass" as Young put it. Five hundred farms are lost every week due to not only this plight but also the emergence of "factory farms Farm Aid helps ease the bur- den of family farmers with finan- cial support and crop-sharing. Money is raised through the ben- efit concert itself as well as phone donations and other events throughout the year. After the conference, there was a brief break before Willie Nelson and a group of Native American dancers kicked the show off with a musical blessing. Then newcomers One Fell Swoop took the stage. From there the show went to Marshall Chapman and Robert Earl Keen for more folkcountry blends. The first big name to take the stage was Tim McGraw who was followed by Grand Ole Opry member John Conlee. All of the first set artists were greeted with a warm reception by the few hundred that showed up in time for the start of the day. The second set of bands got people dancing a bit more with up- beat sets by Rusted Root, Jewel, Son Volt, Deanna Carter and Steve Earle. Jewel sur- prised many with an energetic per- formance that far outshined her de- but release. Look for exciting things from her in the fu- ture. Steve Earle also got the crowd into the show. Having performed at three previous Farm Aids, he de- cided to go solo this time and left his band at home. As his deep voice weaved its way through his trade- mark song "Copperhead Road his instrument went out. Earle plugged right on and finished the song a capella. Then, looking down at the Farm Aid helps ease the burden of defective instrument he declared. "I guess I broke it and launched right into anothrr song. Gretchen Peters took the stage next and had Earle join her for a duet on his song "I Ain't Ever Sat isfied After Peters came Hal Ketchum and then the Texas Tor nados.

And The Hudsucker Proxy illustrated the Coen brothers' willingness to dabble with the fantastic and the magical. There is no question as to whether Joel and Ethan have tal- ent. They are a visionary team whose work constantly defies the standard form of filmmaking and always offers something original and engaging. Unfortunately, despite the praise they receive from critics and the strong cult following their films carry, the Coen brothers are not what one would call a Hollywood success. Their films rarely, if ever, have huge openings, and they don't usually generate much press. The Coen brothers' most recent endeavor, Fargo, was one of this year's most critically praised films. More than likely, many critics will list Fargo on their top ten list at the end of this year. But don't ex- pect Joel and Ethan's baby to be nominated for any major awards. Fargo, staying true to the Coen sensibility, is not a slice of main- stream escapism. Fargo is a quirky, violent, unsettling, and, ironically enough, funny journey into the darker territories of human pas- sions. Not surprisingly, Fargo did not cross over into Greenville's theaters when it was out last spring. We were too busy showing movies where Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal save the world from foreign threats. Well, Fargo is now on video for grabs and is a must-see for anyone who tires of the Hollywood cliche. Fargo was directed by Joel, pro- duced by Ethan, and co-written by both. The concept of the film is simple and standard enough. A des- perate man named Jerry Lundegaard (played to pathetic per- fection by William H. Macy) is in great and immediate need of a large sum of money in order to finalize a business deal, so he hires a couple of scumbag crooks (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife for a large ransom. Once Jerry collects the ransom from his wife's wealthy father (Harve Presnell), all Jerry has to do is split the money with the crooks and use what's left over to get his business deal going. If only it were that simple. A staple of a Coen brothers' movie is that everything that can possibly go wrong does, horribly wrong. Fargo is no different. It is a downward spi- ral into meaningless violence and human error. But Fargo is also much more than simply an excursion into the violent underworld. Much else goes on through the bizarre interactions and dialogue between characters, and some scenes that on the surface appear to serve no purpose subtly flesh out the characters and add to the realism of the entire film. In many ways, Fargo is the ideal postmodern film. Characters carry- on irrelevant conversations, some characters pop up and disappear for no visible narrative purpose, and ev- erything characters do to improve their station in life ultimately caves in on itself by the end. At the close of the film, the heroine, a police chief named Marge Gunderson (won- derfully performed by Frances McDormand) even asks the unan- swerable question, "What was it all for?" Films centering around existen- tial questions have been done be- fore, but the ride is what counts, and riding with the Coen brothers is al- ways a unique pleasure. The dia- PHISH from page 9 would seem to be a bit more chal- lenging in many aspects. Like the title, Phish seems to be taking a breather on this record. The songs are a bit slower. There are more chord progressions and identifiable rhythms. Most would think that working with a different producer, such as Lillywhite, would change the sound a bit. Not so. The songs still say Phish, they're just carefully packaged. As the album takes you into a song called "Waste you'll hear how much the band is influenced by Pink Floyd. It sounds a bit like "Nobody Home song from Pink Floyd's The Wall, which is truly one of the most impressive albums of all time. Influ- ence is good, and before Phish in- fluence and improv had totally dif- ferent meanings. Basically, Phish has set the norm by using the most random groupings of thoughts that pervade in and out of their minds during their daily lives. Amazingly, it makes more sense that way because it's real. The most impressive "jam" on the record is a tune called "Cars Trucks Buses that was apparently written and influenced by the band's keyboardist, Page McConnell. There are no lyrics, and for a few minutes the tune encompasses you as Phish take you into their majestic world once again. John Fishman, the band's drum- mer and satirical juggernaut, has laid back on this album. One of the world's most innovative drummers has taken a breather as well. It's far from disappointing, though. Fishman is on, and he has presence on this record, only without the rough edges. His metronome timing is unbelievable. The man is a ma- chine. � Another impressive tune on this record is the folk-influenced "Train Song It starts off and ends simply and acoustically, while Anastasio harmonizes with himself on his first vocal track. Oh, to live in the digi- tal age. In "Bliss Anastasio sends a message to an injured fan. It entails two acoustic guitars and a bass, only the bass is written out of tune with the song. As the acoustics ring out, the bass grows more in tune again. Maybe the song is a mere represen- tation of life itself. The bass is stray but soon finds its way back home "Billy Breathes the title track, is a grabber. It's very melodic and doesn't change shape very much. The song represents the album well. As the album ends with "Prince Caspian you will begin to appreci- ate just what the band has done on this record. Yes. the album is shorteV Yes, the album is slower. But the roots of the band are still there, never lost. Only this time it's brought to you on a bridge, incor- porated in a different way. I'm sore Steve Lillywhite and Phish will look back on that bridge someday and cross it again. ASSORTED VARIETIES Jumbo Cookies 12-Count FREE!

Fargo is possibly the only film ever made where a very pregnant woman is the hero who brings jus- tice to an insane world. In lesser hands, a big deal would have been made of the fact that McDormand's character is pregnant. The Coens choose not to.

Wallace is sym- bolic of all of the old, conservative, close- minded, unchanging values that the South embodies, or so he was. Now Wallace has changed his tune and is try- ing his best to embrace those individu- als whom he once thought were his en- emies. Ten days ago, Jones and Wallace met again for the first time since that hot summer day in 1963. Thaf s over thirty years, folks. Change can happen, it just takes time. And the change deserves as much attention as the pain that caused it in the first place. Although this column isn't on the first page, I hope that it reaches an audience that perhaps hadn't heard the news before. And I hope that it gives you the same sense of optimism that I got from it Lets relish these moments while we can. I guarantee another bad time is on the way (especially if a certain intolerant Southern senator gets re- elected this fall). Peace out three records. It has been said (and wisely so) that when a band loses a member, it should change its name since the band is not really the same as before. Think about the Allman brothers before and after Duane, or Genesis before and after Peter Gabriel, or, God help us, the third lead singer of Van Halen. I think perhaps in The Ocean Blue's case, we might make an excep- tion, however. Even though the moody, ethereal keyboards and the catchy melodies of Lau's saxophone are gone, Ronne blends into the band, and somehow his guitar manages to more than fill the gap left by Lau. Part of this has to with the fact that David Schelzel is still the vision- ary of the band, and his strong songwriting has grown even stronger without losing the flavor that distin- guishes him from other pop songwriters. He is still heavily influ- enced by the old greats: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who Oed Ronne shares a few of the songwriting credits, and surprisingly his contribu- tions sound like classic Ocean Blue. Musically, the band is exploring new territory, moving a little farther from the catchy Brit-pop they're known for and pulling on influences from recent American music. There's a bit more of an edge to some of the songs, so that Schelzel's happy tunes now have a twist of lemon in them, while his sad songs have a touch of bitterness. The ethereal guitars and the longing vocals that are trademarks of The Ocean Blue are still here, just with a bit of a bite added. Considering that the band has undergone a member change, the music is quite solid, and the band ac- tually sounds tighter than ever. There's nothing on this new album that sounds like their MTV buzz clip from three years ago, "Sublime but there are some catchy tunes on the album, especially the first four tracks. The record on the whole is very laid t "Are you being served?" Episcopal Student Fellowship Invites You to Join Us Each Week for Ready For A Miracle? Take A Leap of Faith!

And, Schelzel does seem to have a few protests. Unlike his other songs, which have tended to focus more on spiritual and philosophical musings, this album focuses on more emotional issues, such as bitterness and loss. But refreshingly, unlike some of the recent angry bands such as Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins (who are good i their own realm), the Ocean Blue stays away from despair and all out anger. Rather, the topics are ap- proached from a calmer, more British stance, reserved and thoughtful rather than brash and attacking. Interestingly, Schelzel is Ameri- can. He actually criticizes the whole, grunge-punk-angst scene in "Bitter" "Bitter, bitter what's your name? You see, I see so much of you any- more You're the same Stuff it all in and you shout it all out" The lyr- ics are calmer and more studied, and at the same time simple. Schelzel has a sparse word economy, saying only what he needs. The calm nature of the album does make it one of those that has to grow on you. In the heyday of loud pop music and hip-hop beats, calmer works like this album tend to be at a disadvantage. But if given a few listens.

HALLOWEEN frompage9 If you don't see what you want in the store, Hathaway added, she will order it for you. Prices for complete adult cos- tumes range from $19.99 for the or- dinary to $199 for a mermaid out- fit, which Hathaway said is not your ordinary everyday Halloween cos- tume. "We have costumes, and then we have costumes she explained. Partymakers has a good selec- tion of masks, wigs and makeup. For those planning Halloween fiestas, it also sells decorations. The selection of masks includes everything from Clinton and Dole to Beavis and Butthead. It for some reason you are looking for a plastic beer belly or a big butt, Charades has that, too. Hathaway said that so far the most popular costumes have been the rigor mortis and grim reaper cos- tumes. Costumes do not have to be ex- pensive. The perfect costume could possibly already exist in the darkest corners of your dorm room, apart- ment or house. For example, several years back, I saw a guy downtown dressed as a one-night stand, com- plete with an actual night stand, which was covered with beer bottles, condoms, aspirin and assorted good- ies. This presumably cheap costume had its rewards for the guy: he claimed the outfit had won him sev- eral hundred dollars that night in prize money from various costume contests. There are numerous other places around town that can help facilitate your costume needs at a reduced rate. � Goodwill Industries (3109 Landmark St.), Hidden Treasures Thrift Shop (1012 Dickinson Ave.), Dapper Dan's (Evans Street Mall downtown) and the Salvation Army Thrift Shop (2337 Dickinson Ave.) all have items that may be what you're looking for. Old shoes, shirts, jackets and dresses are all there for sometimes as low as a few bucks. After Halloween, if you do not need these items anymore, you can do- nate them back. Of course, there are various other places to find costumes: Wal- Mart, K-Mart, Kerr Drugs, Toys R Us, etc. These stores are substantially cheaper than the costume stores; however, do not expect nearly the level of variety. They probably serve best as places to stock up on candy for trick-or-treaters or your own sweet tooth. I hope I've helped. All you re- ally need is a little time and creativ- ity. Money always comes in handy, but bundles of cash are not always necessary. Just remember that the point is to have fun. As for me, I'm thinking of go- ing as a rockabilly star. Think of Jerry Lee Lewis or Carl Perkins when they were young. I'm still look- ing for a good sports jacket, prefer- ably a hot pink or some other ob- noxiously bright jacket It does have to be a solid color, however. I already have a pair of black and white wing tips; however, the shoes are about two sizes too big. But I know I'll figure something out 1 ycrnric A 209 E. Sst, Greenville, NC 752-7303 Adv.

That is the only word you can use to de- scribe the 31-6 drubbing the ECU Pirates laid on the 12th ranked Miami Hurricanes. Folks, if you've haven't no- ticed, a drubbing was just what the doctor ordered for Steve Logan's 4-2 Pirates. Not only did this win seem to put the "fun" back in the game for the Bucca- neers, but it also gave ECU the opportunity to show the college football world that this program is certainly for real. After a heartbreaking loss to rival Southern Missis- sippi on ESPN 2, the Pirates were put in the situation they're famous for getting out of having their backs against the wall and pulling off the unexpected. Oddsmakers were put- ting the Pirates as a 17 point under dog to the Hurricanes, who lost only one game to an unranked opponent in the friendly confines of the Or- ange Bowl. The writers at the Miami Hurricane, the student paper at the University of Mi- ami, were predicting a 56-3 Parent's Day win for the Canes, and felt like they would have no trouble in do- ing so. What I'm getting at is that nobody, but ECU gave ECU a chance to win last Sat- urday night Folks, if the Pi- rates ever wanted respect, they certainly didn't hurt themselves one iota by trouncing a proven national power, at their place, on prime time national televi- sion. Everybody in the Caro- linas knew for some time now about what's happening here in Greenville, but the rest of the nation found out Satur- day night what ECU football is all about. Pirate fans, this wasn't a fluke, like I'm sure most poll- sters would like to believe. Most experts said before the game that ECU would have to play flawlessly to win down in Dade County. True, that was the most put together game the Pirates played, but they were also able to over- come some mistakes which would have hurt the Pirates in earlier contests. Now the other argument could be that Miami didn't play well. Out of the ques- tion. If you look down the line, mistakes made by Miami were caused by the frustra- tion of not being able to stop an ECU offense that looked as crisp as ever, or they were forced by a stingy Pirate de- fense who didn't give up an- other point after Miami's opening drive. To all the experts, give credit where credit is due. It wasn't the weather, it wasn't the glamour of national tele- vision. ECU came to play, and beat an excellent Miami squad 31-6. No tricks, no gim- micks. Just a good old fash- ioned whoopin Mark my words folks. Logan said it at the begin- ning of the season, that ECU will soon become the hunted and not the hunter. Pirate fans, the days of shock when a top 15 opponent goes down to the mighty Pirates, will soon be over. Respect is well on the way. Just ask the Mi- ami Hurricanes. � 11 1 Miami Records broken ESPN in swim meet Annual Purple Gold intersquad meet successful David Councilman Staff Wrtter Fail Break is time for resting and enjoying a much needed break from school. The ECU swim team did not have that option. Whiie just about everyone else was at home, the swim team was practicing and they were holding their annual PurpleGold meet which proved that records were meant to be broken. The meet is held annually and it gets the team geared up for the regular season. This year the meet was an over- whelming suc- cess. Eleven new records were set in this event "We swam fast, absolutely 113-75. The male side was just as im- pressive. The male Pirates set four new records. Two of the four records were set by newcomers to the Pirate swim team, one is a junior college transfer and one was set by a fresh- man. The Gold side was not as fortu- nate as it was on the female side. The Purple team won the competi- tion for the first time in four years, with a close score of 98-97. The Purple team was led by double win- ner Matthew Jabs, with wins in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles. The male Pirates like their counterparts, have a crop of newcomers who appear to not let big time college swimming intimidate them in the least The 400 medley team of Paul Pinther, Brandon Tilley, Edward Garguevich and Lee Hutchins set a new 400 med- ley time. Also, Patrick McGonical set new record time in the 1000 Amanda Ross Sports Editor "I am extremely happy with the early season times, the hard work is paying off � Head Swimming Coach Rick Kobe great" Head Swimming Coach Rick Kobe said. On the women's side seven of the 11 records were set by the women. Holtie Butler set a new 200 freestyle record, while Krister. Olson also set anew record in the 200 but- terfly. Also setting records were Cindy Clawson in the 200 individual med- ley, Melanie Mackwood in the 50 freestyle, Adrian Cross in the 100 freestyle while Amanda Atkinson was a double winner and set a new record in the 200 back stroke: Casey Sloan was also a record setter in the 500 freestyle. Five of the girls records were re- corded by freshmen; they seem to be having no trouble adjusting to the rigors of college swimming. With Atkinson's double wins she helped the Gold side win the women's competition by a score of freestyle, while Lee Hutchins set a new record time in the 500 free style. Rounding out the record holders is Junior College All-American Bran- don Tilley, with a new record in the 200 breast stroke. These 11 records that fell, should be an indication of how good our swim looks to be this season and the dedi- cation and time they have rontributed. "I am extremely happy with the early season times, the hard work is paying off Kobe said. This meet gets the team geared up for the first regular season meet of the year. With all of the records that were falling in the Minges Aquatics Center, the rest of the conference should be prepared for a fired up ECU team The first regular season meet for the Pirates will be this Saturday, Oct 26, at American University in Wash- ington, D.C. It hasn't been done since 1984. That was the last time Miami lost two consecutive home games in the Orange Bowl. But ECU rocked the 'Canes 31-6, in front of a national tele- vision audience on ESPN, to break that streak. The victory marks the first time ECU has beaten an opponent ranked higher than 16th. The loss sent Mi- ami down to the 25th spot while ECU misses out on the Top 25, coming in 28th in Monday's AP Poll. The defense al- lowed 361 total yards for the game, but when it counted, the ECU de- fense held off Miami in the end zone. They also kept their streak alive as far as not allowing an opponent to score in the fourth quarter. Running Ba.ck Scott Harley rushed for 134 yards. Harley knew the 'Canes would be trying to swipe the ball from him and he was pre- pared to handle that. "They were trying to tackle the football, not me Harley said. "One guy would try to hold me up and strip the ball Harley was stripped twice, re- sulting in fumbles, but he was also playing with bruised ribs after a hit in the first quarter. He still managed to get into the end zone for the first ECU touchdown in the first quarter. Photo by AMANDA ROSS (L-R) Jason Nichols, Larry Shannon and Mitch Galloway celebrate after a Nichols caught a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter in the win. "The first guy just raked the ball and on the second one I wasn't holding the ball too tight because my ribs were hurting so badly After three interceptions last week, Quarterback Marcus Crandell was nearly flawless in getting the ball to his receivers. Crandell posted a zero in the interceptions column. He was 17-27 with 230 yards and three passing touchdowns. Coach Steve Logan said the lack of turnovers helped in the win. "That's why we wen Logan said. "Win the turnovers and you'll win the game Miami had not seen a player like Crandell, who threw for passing touchdowns. Until the game, Miami had not allowed a passing touch- down from an opponent until they allowed three from the Pirates. Tight End Scott Richards no- ticed the 'Canes seemed to be look- ing for answers to a potent ECU of- fense. "They were looking to their coaches to give them some kind of scheme to stop our offense Richards said. Half back Mitch Galloway, who leads the Pirates in all-time receiv- ing, was on end of two touchdown passes from Crandell, once in the See CANES page 13 PASSING M.Cronee& .��-�� - RUSHING mi�Ml llliffi�HL ATT-CMP-INT I 27-17-0 RECEIVING SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT The ECU volleyball team lost its first conference match on Saturday, losing to Virginia Commonwealth, 3-0 (7-15, 7-15, 10-15). The hitting game was once again a problem for ECU. The Pi- rates hit 056 versus the Rams .321 percentage. The Rams had 53 kills against ECU, compared to ECU's 28. Individually, Shannon Kaess led the team with eight kills while Kari Koenning had a team high 10 digs. On Sunday the team turned around to face another conference foe, William & Mary. The Tribe easily defeated ECU in three games, 15-1,15-2,15-5. Wil- liam & Mary served up 15 aces in the win. For the Pirates, Kristen Woodfurr led the team with nine kills and eight digs. The Pirates will take on two conference opponents in Minges Coliseum next weekend. On Friday, Oct 25, No. 23 ranked George Ma- son will take on ECU at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Oct. 26, the Pirates will host American. That match is slated to start at 1 p.m. The Lady Pirate soccer team suffered their third straight defeat in the CAA falling to James Madi- son, 1-0. ECU's record now falls to 6-8-1 overall and 1-5 in the CAA. JMU, ranked 20th in the Soccer America poll now goes to 10-3-2 and 5-0-1 in the CAA. "I'm proud of the way our team is playing right now ECU Head Coach Neil Roberts said. "No one likes to lose. We are playing to- gether better than we have re- cently. It could have gone either way ECU challenged the Dukes all afternoon as the Pirates took seven shots on goal to JMU's 14. ECU held the CAA foes scoreless until the second half when midfielder Kristi Palmaccio netted a shot in- side the top of the goalie box that partially deflected off ECU de- fender Jill Davis' leg for the 1-0 lead at the 56:02 mark. Unfortunately, the Pirates mustered just three shots on goal in the second half and were unable to find and equalizing goal. ECU freshman goalkeeper Amy Horton notched six saves over the course of the game while JMU's Stacey Bilodeau and Beth Mangi split time in goal recording one save a piece. "We've shown we can play with some teams and scare some teams Roberts said. "If a team overlooks us they'd be in big trouble. We're starting to gain some confidence as we play together well The Pirates will wrap up the 1996 season on the road, heading into the CAA tournament as ECU travels to Campbell on Oct. 23.

Kerri Hartling and Jamie Mance finished in the top 10 at the North Carolina Cross Country Champion- ships in Charlotte on Saturday, earn- ing both runners All-State honors. Harlting finished eight in the women's race in 18:18. while Mance took ninth place in the men's race in 25:14 In team competition, the men's team placed eighth of 13 teams, while the women were ninth in 12 teams. "I'm so excited for Kerri Coach Choo Justice said. 'She ran the best race of her career. Most of our run- ners ran their best times of the year. We keep getting better. We had an eighth and 28th place finish but our next runner finished 71st and that's a huge gap to fill when it comes to team scoring" In the men's race, the Pirates ran strong with eight of their nine run- ners finishing in 27:00 or less. "It was a great race for us As- sistant men's coach Mike Ford said. "We ran strong through our whole team. We had a couple of guys sick this week but runners like Matt Cox stepped it up a notch and that was key today The Virginia Commonwealth Rams scored two goals in the first half to open a 2-0 advantage over ECU and then held off a pesky Pirate attack late in the game as VCU defeated ECU 2-0 on Sunday in CAA men's soccer action. The Rams, now 64-2 overall and 2-3 in the conference, got on the board early in the game when a Trevor Spen- cer shot slipped through the fingers of the ECU goalkeeper. The Rams scored again in the 32nd minute, when Spencer scored his second goal of the game, this one coming on a penalty kick. The loss drops the Pi- rates to 2-10 overall and 0-5 in the conference. "We made some mistakes and being a good team, VCU made us pay for them Coach Will Wiberg said. "Other than the two mistakes in the box, I thought the game was very evenly played. We just dug ourselves in a hole early on we couldn't get out of it The Pirates will return to action on Wed.

Gallo- way.knew the Pirates couldn't take any part of the 'Canes' game for granted. "We had to take every snap critical and take care of the ball Galloway said. Jason Nichols was on the receiv- ing end of the third touchdown pass to start off the fourth quarter. Nichols had the longest ball with 33 yards and netted 47 yards for the game. Chad Holcomb nailed his ca- reer-long kick with a 52-yard field goal after missing a 44-yard attempt earlier in the second quarter. The Pirates were the 17 point underdog going into the game, but the players knew in their hearts that ti.ey could come away with the vic- tory. "We came here excepting to win the game Galloway said. For Logan, he doesn't want his players getting too caught up in the moment, since they are only halfway through the season. Tt's my job not to get too low- after last week and not to get to high after this week and that's what I'm going to do Logan said. "I'm go- ing to maintain perspective because no one else will Galloway agrees. -We don't want to get over ex- cited about it, it's just another win for us So what do the players hope the nation will think after the spanking they handed Miami? "They're think it's a fluke but it doesn't matter, because in our hearts we know we out played them physi- cally and we beat Miami up and down the field Richards said. "They had no answers for our offense and no way to solve our defense Galloway says the nation shouldn't see this as an upset. "What I would like for the na- tion to say is that two good teams played Galloway said. "It shouldn't be that it's an upset. For them to say it's an upset is a disgrace to our pro- gram. They have a great tradition. I don't want to take anything away from them, but it was two good teams and the best team won The Pirates will have this week off and won't match up until Nov. 2 when they host Arkansas State for Homecoming. But for now the thrill of it all will still be on the players' minds. Harley said this is something you wish for all your life.
