Across The State
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) -
Gov. 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.
There aren't enough qualified
people to do the job, said a mem-
ber of a judicial watchdog group
and an aide to the state Supreme
Court's chief justice.
RALEIGH (AP) - A state
medical panel's decision regarding
the use of opium-derived drugs re-
flects growing evidence that those
narcotics rarely become more ad-
dictive for patients than previously
thought
The North Carolina Medical
Board reversed one of its guide-
lines last week for physicians by
endorsing the use of the powerful
narcotics to manage chronic pain.
Across The Country
FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Two
dangerous convicts remained at
large Sunday after a prison break
in which six men cut through three
razor-wire fences at a privately run
penitentiary.
Three of the men who escaped
from the prison Saturday were con-
victed murderers and all were con-
sidered dangerous, authorities
said. Six other inmates unsuccess-
fully tried to escape, authorities
said.
WARWICK, R.I. (AP) - A pim-
ply faced, bespectacled 15-year-old
boy is accused of ride-by sexual
assault, grabbing four women as
he pedaled past them on his bi-
cycle.
The women told police the
boy sped by as they were walking
or jogging and grabbed their
breasts, buttocks or groin, police
CapL Joseph Tavares said.
In each case, police said the
women described their assailant as
white, with acne, wearing wire-
rimmed glasses, a baseball cap and
a backpack.
Around The World
NEW DELHI, India (AP) -
Hospitals dragged extra beds into
already crowded wards as the
death toll in a dengue fever out-
break in New Delhi rose to 220 on
Sunday. The outbreak was begin-
ning to spread to neighboring
states, a news agency reported.
Five additional deaths and
388 more hospital admissions were
reported in New Delhi since Sat-
urday. Press Trust of India news
agency said.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -
The Indonesian government today
distanced itself from a local
banker's $200,000 donation to
President Clinton's re-election
campaign, saying the relationship
was a private matter.
Foreign Minister Ali Alatas
said his government regrets "nega-
tive publicity" in the American
media, which he said hints that the
Indonesian government is con-
nected with relations between
Clinton and Indonesian billionaire
James Riady.
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.

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-

Campus accidents go unreported
Anst-Helms posters disappear mysteriously
Posters of Sen. Jesse Helms, R - N. C, surrounded by a black and
white photos, including one of a Ku Klux Klan member, which were plas-
tered around UNC-CH's campus two weeks ago have been mysteriously
torn down.
Quotes from Helms about the Civil Rights Act, the environment and
AIDS appeared among editorial comments on the posters.
No one has claimed responsibility for the posters or for their attempted
removal, though their are several groups on campus who support anti-
Helms politics.
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.

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.
Despite their efforts, some
people still fall into the traps of

Student voter
registration way up
Campus politico
group assists
student efforts
Jacqueline D. 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.

Labor department protects child workers
tu-(a tv,t rhAA la. 1 .pvi Strauss. 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.

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. In fact,
Barbee said that they had a past
incident where a father got caught
up in the fast moving wheels of an
offer, and wound up spending
around $800
Michael Cagle, a sophomore
majoring in computer science, is
fully aware of the dangers involved
when you participate in a search,
but says that it shouldn't cause
students to shy away from the idea.
"Although some scholarship
search services are just out to
make money, there are still a great
number more that really care
about the students and want to
help them Cagle said. "As a stu-
dent, I am grateful to the organi-
zations that work to help us reach
our goals, and I truly believe that
the ones that only try to take ad-
vantage of us will one dav get what
is coming to them

Just because
tobacco is
king in eastern
North
Carolina
doesn't mean
that we want
the industry to
have the
freedom to
target
advertisements
toward youths
who are
underage.
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.

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

I am aware that the coaches, ad-

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-

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.

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. This crew deserves
a raise, an applause and an apology
from the student body.

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

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

the Coen brothers. 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.

mances: and, more than anything,
Joel and Ethan's eye for little details
allow Fargo to exceed the bound-
aries of other films like it.
Fargo is possibly the only film
ever made where a very pregnant

point to address, but after watching
countless paint-by-numbers main-
stream films, I am convinced that
the bulk of major Hollywood writ-
ers not only can't write in a realis

original idea in their corporate
skulls.
Joel and Ethan aren't major
players. They are in the same league
with John Sayles, whose recent Lone
Star is another crime drama that re-
ceived great praise. This breed of
filmmakers don't receive much

and their films don't break box-of-

ing the films that will stand the test
of time and will be remembered af-

May they never become the next big

WALL from page 9 BLUE from page 9
government can change, then doesn't it
follow that anyone can. 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

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. See the Ocean Blue be-
comes a familiar friend that one likes
to have around on rainy days and in
coffee shops.
Overall, See the Ocean Blue is a
strong album with solid songs. It's a
must buy for Ocean Blue fans and a
good album for curious fans looking
to start an Ocean Blue collection.

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

Hurricanes sized

Dill Dillard
Assistant Sports Editor
Domination. 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.

Records broken
ESPN

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,

early season times,

? Head Swimming Coach

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.

(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.

leads the Pirates in all-time receiv-
ing, was on end of two touchdown
passes from Crandell, once in the

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.
Game time is scheduled for 5 p.m.
The women's tennis team com-
pleted competition on Sunday at

In team competition, the men's

"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

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

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

score by ECU in the fourth. 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.

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.
