NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH,
N.C. - Seven weeks after Hurricane
Fran hit the state, most residents
of North Topsail Beach are still
without water.
Only about a 2-mile section of
the town along N.C. 210 now has
water.
Residents say they only see a
few crews working to restore wa-
ter service, although county offi-
cials say there are several.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) -
Gasoline pump prices rose nearly
three-quarters of a cent per gallon
on the strength of crude oil price
hikes, an industry analyst said.
The increase over two weeks

Boris Yeltsin today canceled all
meetings for the rest of the week
because of unspecified medical
tests during what his spokesman
called "the final stage of prepara-

had recommended complete rest
while he undergoes the tests. He
said even the president's weekly

Student leaders bring Gantt to ECU
Senatorial
candidate speaks
tonight on student
related issues
Scott Hopkins
Staff Writer
With fast-paced campaign pro-
cesses quickly coming to the wire,
campus organizations have worked
hard to bring Harv?y Gantt to ECU
to outline his agenda.
The ECU College Democrats, Stu-
dents for Gantt, ABLE (Allied Blacks
for Leadership and Equality), Sigma
Gamma Rho, Delta Sigma Theta. Zeta
Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Psi and the
National Pan Hellenic Council com-
bined efforts to bring U.S. Senate
challenger Gantt's campaign to Men-
denhall Student Center Tuesday Oct.
29, at 1:45 p.m.
"We are very excited that the
North Carolina College Democrats
and Students for Gantt were able to
get Mr. Gantt to tour all of the North
Carolina schools said John Lynch,
a student at ECU and the co-chair of
Students for Gantt
Gantt was at Pitt Community
College on Friday and will be touring
most of eastern N.C. on Tuesday.
"Mr. Gantt is a large supporter
of helping to ease the effects of tu-
ition costs. He strongly supports edu-
cation, and the issues that surround
it Lynch said.
Gantt is challenging Senator
Jesse Helms who has been in office
since 1972. Gantt is expected to bring
new ideas and new life to the N. C.
representation in Washington if
elected.
"It is very important that he
Gantt is reaching out to the stu-
dents Lynchsaid. "Gantt is working
toward increasing student loans, and

The former mayor of Charlotte,
Gantt expects this race o be close,
and the polls agree.
Gantt is no stranger to ECU. He
visited in 1994 as a courtesy to the
College Democrats.
"Harvey Gantt is willing to invest
in education; obviously the senator
we have now has not done anything
for N.C. universities said Larry Free-
man, president of the College Demo-
crats.
The College Democrats have
worked hard to increase the voice of
college students in the national and
state elections. This visit is another
way of getting college students in-
volved in the issues that affect them.
" We are trying to get as many
students to come out as possible and
show their support for their next U.S.

With an ever increasing
crime rate, many students are
questioning their safety on cam-
pus.
In 1995, there were nine re-
ported accounts of aggravated as-
sault and seven arrests for these
attacks. That was in increase from
seven attacks and four arrests in
1994.
Hattie Pink is a withdrawn
junior who was attacked in her
dorm room on the first day of
classes. She had her door
propped open and was studying
in her room when someone ran
in and hit her on the head with a
fire extinguisher. The assailant
stole her purse but disposed of it
after finding no cash.
Pink was forced to withdraw
from school after missing two
weeks of classes because of her
injuries. She plans on returning
to campus next semester, but
does not feel safe any longer.
"When I did try to go back
to class I was looking over my
shoulder hoping someone
wouldn't come after me and try
to hurt me she said.
Pink worked with freshmen
at orientation last summer and
warned them of the dangers on
campus, but like many students
never thought it could happen to
her.
"Before (the assault) I heard
about things happening on campus,
people getting attacked or what-
ever, but I never really thought
about it happening to me. I guess I
was naive she said.
Her attacker remains at large.
Freshman Jill Broadway
learned about the
reality of on-cam- - ? ?
pus attacks dur-
ing orientation.
She was attacked
in the stairway of
Scott Hall by a
student who
lunged at her and
pushed her back
against the stairs.
Her assailant
was apprehended
later that night af-
ter punching a po-
lice officer.
"I was very
angry. To have
someone assault you, that you don't
know, that you didn't do anything
to is difficult to live with Broad-
way said.
Like Pink she is now more cau-
tious when on campus.
"I'm very cautious now. I have
mace with me wherever I go and
it's out and ready to fire, unless I'm
in a big group of people and even
then I sometimes keep it out
Broadway said.
Her attacker received a prayer
for judgment which means that un-
less he does anything else illegal
he can have the attack taken off of
his record after one year.
In addition to this he was sus-
pended from campus and may not
return. He can not approach or at-
tempt to approach Broadway or he
will be arrested.
Broadway found it difficult to
concentrate on her schoolwork af-
ter the attack.
"The court date kept bein?
moved. I wouldn't sit and work be-
cause I would think about how I
had to be in court. It's just too
much pressure added to the pres-
sure of being
a freshman
she said.
When stu-
dents are at-
tacked on
campus they
have several
options to
consider. The
office of the
Dean of Stu-
dents assists
students in
deciding what
action to take
and can help
the students
get counseling.
If the attacker is apprehended
and is an ECU student, the stu-
dent will have to face the campus
judicial process as well as appear
in the local courts.
"The campus judicial process
is independent of downtown. The
case is reviewed by a judicial com-
mittee and taken to the honor
board before downtown even gets
it on the docket said Assistant
Dean of Students Karen Boyd.
ECU'S judicial process is stu-
dent run and the students decide
what happens to the students.
They have an adviser who deals
only with aiding the students in
matters of procedure.
The punishment given to the
student, if found guilty, depends

Professor comments on TEC textbook poll results
Says the books
are not the real
problem
Scott Hopkins
Staff Writer
Over the past few weeks, stu-
dents have questioned both the ris-
ing cost of textbooks and their
value.
In an Oct. 8 article in TEC stu-
dents commented that textbooks
are overpriced and under-used.
Students said the purpose of pur-
chasing textbooks was to supple-
ment lectures.
According to Dr. Roger
Rulifson. a biol-
ogy professor at
ECU. students
don't get the full
worth of a text-
book because
most of them
don't read them.

ate professor for

of anatomy and

Peterson
said a lot of the
problems stem
from the way in
which the pro-
fessors use the
text that they
assign for class.
A large portion
of the univer-
sity lecture is
the professor
taking the time
out to write out
the lessons to
make sure the
students get
own set of handouts, but we don't the information they need.
"If the students and the pro-
fessors would both read the text
and use it, it would relieve a huge
burden on the professor, and stu-
dents would spend less time trying
to second guess what is going to
be on the tests Peterson said.
In the Oct. 8 TEC article.
Rulifson stated that students worry
more about the price instead of the
long term benefits which the text
may provide. He believes that text
books can be valuable tools, un-
less professors are asking students
to buy expensive textbooks for just
a few chapters. Course packets are
now being used to supplement the
few chapters in the text that the
professor might use.
"We know our subject so well
that there's an ego involved
Peterson said. "What we need to
do is pick the right book for the
lesson, and follow the book directly.
The concept is so easy it's almost
like re-inventing the wheel. The
textbook should be used as the tool

College professors spend nu-
merous hours each year preparing
and performing lectures for stu-
dents who are required to retain
and use that knowledge for their
future careers. A large percentage
of these professors use lecture
notes that they have been develop-
ing for years, and never even read
the book they require.

Volunteers needed for vaccination day
Local program
offers free
vaccines for
senior citizens
Becky Alley
News Writer
ECU students have been pre-
sented with a new way to give back
to Pitt County and its citizens by par-
ticipating in Senior Vaccination Day
this November.
Senior Vaccination Day is Nov.
3 and it is a chance for senior citi-
zens to receive free flu and pneumo-
nia immunizations at local high
schools. This is the first time it has
been held in Pitt County; it is mod-
eled aftpr a pilot program in
Mecklenburg County called Vote and
Vaccinate.
"This year the North Carolina
State Department of Environmental
Health and Natural Resources
thought it would be a great idea to
hold a vaccination day statewide
Becky Young, director of training and
Pitt County Volunteer Services, said.
Nurses and doctors will be pro-
viding and administering the immu-
nizations, while several community
groups will be providing refresh-
ments. Young said student volun-
teers would assist in registering,
meeting and greeting and directing
senior citizens where to go.
"There will be a lead registrar
at each location and they will tell the
students what to do. The informa-
tion from the registration is very im-
portant because that is what we are
channeling back to the state and to
Medicare to let them know our re-
sults Young said.
The service will be provided to
all senior citizens, regardless of if
they have Medicare or not.
"We will not be turning any se-
nior citizen away. What we are try-
ing to do is to reach those seniors
who have not had these immuniza-
tions and want to receive them in
their communities rather than have
to go to the doctor's office. We are
recruiting seniors through commu-
nity groups and churches to get ev-
eryone involved in looking out for
our seniors Young said.
There will not be transportation
provided from the Volunteer Ser-
vices, but many local churches and
organizations are providing rides for
those who need them.
Young believes that health edu-
cation majors, dietetic majors, social
work majors and anyone interested
in working with the elderly popula-
tion would benefit from volunteering
on Senior Vaccination Day.
"We already have several dietetic
majors signed up to volunteer and
we really are just thrilled at that
Young said.
"I'd like to mention to students
at ECU that not only is this a great
event for volunteers, but we have a
special event every month that we
need volunteers for. We'd love to
have any ECU students or organiza-
tions help do special projects to give
back to the community. We also have
special site based assignments where
we pair volunteers with paid employ-
ees in particular areas they are in-
terested in Young said.
Senior citizens can receive im-
munizations at area high schools in-
cluding Ayden-Grifton, D.H. Conley,
Farmville, North Pitt and J.H. Rose.
The service is being provided in
cooperation with the Public Health
Center, Medical Society, Pitt County
Memorial Hospital, Council on Aging,
community schools, United Way, N.C.
Cooperative Extension Service, Fam-
ily Practice Center, AARP Chapter
2016, Pitt County EMS and Volun-
teer Services.
For more information on volun-
teering for this and other events
please contact Becky Young at the
Pitt County Government Volunteer
Services at 830-2560.

money total-
ing $740,000
from the Na-
tional High-

Safety Admin-
i s t r a t i o n
(NHTSA) and
Duke Univer-
sity in order
to find ways
to reduce
traumatic in-
juries and
deaths in east-
ern N.C.

extremely for-
tunate to have
received fund-
ing for these
important in-
jury preven-
tion projects
during our
first year in operation director of
???????m
the Eastern Carolina Injury Preven-
tion Program, Dr. Herb Garrison
said.
One of the two grants to be
funded by NHTSA was given to the
Pitt Initiative for Safe Communities
Evolving Successfully. This grant,
worth $4,470 over three years, is
one of just two such programs in
the country.
According to a medical center
press release in
1993 over 13,000
patients were ad-
mitted to the emer-
gency department
at the medical cen
ter. Between 1988
and 1993 trauma
admissions to the
department rose
60 percent.
The first step
in this three year
process is to deter-
mine the injury
problems facing
Pitt County. The
group researching
the problems will
be made up of lo-
cal leaders. To-
gether they will
decide the best way
to attack the prob-
lems.
The second
project funded by
NHTSA will go to
the Rural Enhance-
ment of Access and Care from
Trauma, or REACT. This project,
receiving the majority of the grant
money, will be led by Garrison, Dr.
Kathleen Dunn and Dr. Paul
Cunningham. The goal of this
project is to reduce the amount of
unnecessary traumatic deaths.
This is a follow-up study to one
that Cunningham did in 1995. He
found nearly 29 percent of all trau-
matic deaths in eastern North Caro-
lina could have been prevented.
According to his research, too
much time in the emergency depart-
ment, delays in going to surgery
and improper or harmful medica-
tions were responsible for the in-
appropriate deaths.
They hope this new project will
develop standards for the region in
trauma care. They also hope to
teach emergency medical techni-
cians the best methods for treating
trauma patients.
The third project will build on
the National Fire Protection
Association's "Learn not to Burn"
campaign. This project, funded by
University Housinn Services
is now accepting applications for
the position of Resident Service
Representative at the three area
service desks. Preference is
given to residential students. All
applicants must have a clear
judicial record and a minimum
2.2 GPA. Applicants must be
customer service oriented.
Outgoing, friendly with good
organizational and
administrative skills. Apply at any

NC inmates help improve state LA Times tracks
Community
service gives
prisoners
productive outlet
Marina Henry
Staff Writer
North Carolina inmates are par-
ticipating in community service ac-
tivities, varying from scraping bar-
nacles off of the ferries in Mann's
Harbor to shoveling ice and snow
from storms in the upper part of the
state.
"Non-profit organizations can
call us and fill out request forms for
labor assistance. We provide the in-
mates, the transportation and the
supervision. All the agency needs
to do is tell us what needs to be done
and show us where said Pitt
County Correctional Center Assis-
tant Supervisor Larry Dale.
Each work squad consists of 12
inmates and one supervising officer.
The inmate must meet many qualifi-
cations dealing with temperament,
desire to help the community and
determination to become a produc-
tive member of society. Each appli-
cant is carefully evaluated by a panel
of law agents.
Each squad member works an
eight hour day, totaling about 72
hours of work per day, per
squadsaving the community an av-
erage of $300 per day for a project.
Anywhere from one to five
squads are used to complete a
project. Typical projects include
painting schools and school buses,
cleaning up after natural disasters (
like the recent hurricanes) and
cleaning cemeteries and dumps.
They also construct picnic areas and
steps for the upkeep of the many
North Carolina parks.

out Dale said.
The two year old community
work program has provided 906,159
hours of labor for N.C. communities,
and 1,260 new jobs for the inmates.
Originating in 1994 at Greene
County Correctional Center, it be-
gan with only 56 squads from 16
prisons and has now grown to 90
squads from 33 prisons this year.
Another 51 squads are expected to
be added next year. The program
was originally started by Governor
Jim Hunt as a way to get the work
done and get the inmates out of the
centers and working.
"The Governor wants to see
more inmates working said Patty
McQuilllan, the N.C. director of pub-
lic information.
The program has saved the com-
munities $4,666,718. However, the
communities receive more than just
monetary savings from these work-
ers.

Dole at polls
WASHINGTON (AP) - Trying to
shore up his support in the tradition-
ally Republican South, Bob Dole was
courting Georgia and Florida in an
accelerated mode.
Dole's campaign plans hopscotch
stops in several other states, includ-
ing up to three days in California - a
54-vote electoral prize the Republican
nominee will contest to the end.
A new poll today indicated it will
be an uphill battle - one the Dole
seems to relish; Clinton holds a 20-
point lead over Dole among likely
California voters, according to a Los
Angeles Times poll.
"I fought for America before, and
I'm ready to fight for America's future

Tuesday in Westerville, Ohio, referring
to his World War II service.

At a series of stops Tuesday in
Michigan and Ohio, Dole repeatedly
urged people not to count him out
despite Clinton's solid double-digit
lead in the polls, including some bed-

Dole vowed to pull an upset akin
to Truman's narrow 1948 victory over
Republican Thomas E. Dewey.
"I never did meet President
Dewey, did you? No. I'm like Harry
Truman. I'm from the Midwest and
I'm plainspoken, and I'm going to win

at one rally, brimming with optimism
despite a cold that has left him hoarse.

is Truman holding aloft a newspaper
mistakenly proclaiming his defeat at
the hands of Dewey. Now, Dole insists
the country is in for a similar surprise,
that voters will turn t? his message
of honest leadership.
"The headline for Nov. 6 will be:
Ohio goes for Dole - Bob Dole elected
president of the United States de-
clared Ohio Gov. George Voinovich.
"Regardless of what the pundits are
saying, this election is about charac-
ter and keeping your word
Although Dole enjoys the sym-
bolism of Truman's victory, there are
some important differences:
-Truman was the incumbent
president, with all the political advan-
tages of the White House. He used
that edge to the utmost on a 9,504-
mile train trip through 18 states that
drew hundreds of thousands of people
as the election hit its stretch run.
-A Gallup organization survey
showed that Truman had shaved
Dewey's lead from 13 points in mid-
August to just 5 points in mid-Octo-
ber - before the train trip that drew
intense media attention.
The Dole campaign has not
shown the same kind of movement
at least in opinion polls. And the
former Kansas senator is still battling
to shore up states that should be cer-
tain GOP strongholds like Alabama
and Arizona.
Still, Dole repeatedly urged his
audiences Tuesday to work hard in his
behalf, taking heart in the boisterous
response he got from GOP partisans.
"This is the kind of spirit that will
win the election he said in Troy,
Mich. "America's worth fighting for.

The East Carolinian
Senator expecting eighth-term win
93 year-old Strom
Thurmond looks
for another victory
COLUMBIA. S.C. (AP) - Sen.
Strom Thurmond's race for an
eighth term has the air of a victory
lap. Even those who say it's time
for the 93-year-old Republican
warhorse to call it a day are paying
grudging homage.
Thurmond, leading his 43-year-
old Democratic opponent. Elliott
Close, in the polls, is content to
keep it that way.
The nation's oldest senator
ever - he set the record earlier this
year - campaigns mostly on week-
ends at parades, festivals and foot-
ball games.
He poses for pictures, shakes
hands and occasionally gives a ge-
neric stump speech about how "it
would take my opponent 60 years
to catch up to what 1 can do in the
next six years
Close, heir to a textile fortune,
is in a quandary. While he wants
voters to retire Thurmond, he finds
it necessary to acknowledge
Thurmond's legendary ability to
help constituents.
"I think he used to get results.
I'm not sure how much is done for
this state specifically by Strom
Thurmond and how much is done
by his staff Close said.
Thurmond, chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Committee,
has been criticized in recent years
as dependent on his staff and out
of touch with the intricacies of
public policy. Recent disclosures
about Thurmond's use of state po-
lice as chauffeurs also caused a few
grumbles.
But Thurmond has loomed
large in South Carolina politics
since he won an extraordinary
write-in campaign for the Senate in
1954.
Two years later, fulfilling a
promise to seek election in the tra-
ditional manner, he resigned and
won the seat back. He left the
Democratic Party for the GOP in
1964, and hasn't had a tough cam-
paign since 1978, when Democrat
Charles "Pug" Ravenel held him to
55 percent of
the vote.
"Thurmond's
done a good bit
for South Caro-
lina, but I still
say he should
get down said
72-year-old Rob-
ert Lewis Griffin
of Greenville.
But then
there are those
like Ray
McAdams, a 67-
year-old retired
Duke Power Co.
employee from
Cherokee County.
"A lot of people, when a man
gets to be a little up in age, they
like to turn him out to pasture
McAdams said. "I think
(Thurmond) is a person who really
goes to bat for the little people.
What I mean by that is the work-
ing class of people
Close admits his family's reac-
tion to the prospect of his challeng-
ing Thurmond was hardly positive.
"Mainly, they thought I was nuts
for thinking about it he said.
He most often addresses the
age issue obliquely by promising to
serve no more than two terms and
frequently mentioning that
Thurmond began his public life in
the late 1920s.
But in a recent
Close commer-
cial, elderly ac-
tors talk about
how Thurmond
is too old and
needs to "come
home
If he wins
and completes
his six-year term,
Thurmond,
whose birthday
is Dec. 5, would
be 100. But he
has never been
one to let age
stand his way. At the age of 66, for
instance. Thurmond married 22-
year-old beauty queen Nancy
Moore. The couple separated in
1991. though Thurmond continues
to wear his wedding band. One of
their four children. Nancy, was hit
by a car while walking and killed
in 1993.
In tune with his conservative
state, Close supports a balanced

The East Carolinian
?- !w Brandon Wadded. Editor-in-Chief
Bob Dole
would prefer
Ross Perot to
step down
from the
presidential
election race.
It's America;
shouldn't we
encourage
active
participation
by all
interested
parties?
The times, they are a-changin As we move into the next
millenium, the face of politics is undergoing major plastic surgery.
When was the last time that a politician was so scared of the
damage he might face from an opponent that he asked him to
step down? Well it happened with Bob Dole. Dole has recently
asked presidential candidate Ross Perot to take himself out of the
race so that the G.O.P won't suffer a split in direction and motiva-
tion.
Whether or not you support Dole, you have to admit that this
request is a bit out of line. We wonder if this might not set a new
standard for our political races. In what has for countless years
been a two-party race, the run for president was unexpectedly
given a wake up call during the '92 election, when Perot made
himself a viable candidate with the support of close to 20 percent
of the voting public
Although Perot never seemed to be a serious contender, the
simple fact that he was present gave voice to an outcry that has
been building for several decades. The people want more than
two choices. Now that we have a second election in which three
parties are running, the time seems viable for a multitude of op-
tions.
Yet Dole doesn't seem to want this. He is scared of a political
system that involves more than two sides.
And you can be sure that the Democrats are as well. If Clinton
were the one who would suffer from Perot's presence in the race,
than he would likely want Perot gone too. There's no way to tell if
Clinton would actually ask Perot to remove himself as Dole did,
but it's a sure bet that Clinton would wish that Perot wasn't run-
ning.
Which brings us again to Dole. So what if Dole is slipping in
the polls? So what if Perot comes out of nowhere at the last minute
to include himself in this race? So what if many people feel that
Perot is annoying and doesn't stand much of a chance? The point
is that a number of people do believe in Perot, or at the very least
believe that support should be given for a third choice.
If Dole were to have his way and Perot dropped out of the
race because of Dole's whining, then what kind of precedent would
that set for the races to come? It seems to go against some of our
American principles, like fairness, healthy competition, working
hard, striving to win against all odds and so on.
Politics may be black and white now, but with determination
and luck, perhaps that will change in the future and vvith shades
of gray, we won't be stuck choosing between Dole and Clinton.

ECU needs a new congressman
To the Editor,
I am writing in response to Jay Myers' article of
Oct. 8, in which he (or she?) attacked a particular
senator from North Carolina, while vilifying the South
in general. Although 1 have no objections to the criti-
cisms of the senator, who is very much as Myers paints
him, I do object to these cliche criticisms of the en-
tire South. I have no doubt that we are less than per-
fect, but I don't think we are quite the ogres this
article suggests.
One point that Myers attempts to make is that,
so far as face relations are concerned, the South has
changed very little and lags far behind the rest of the
country. This is blatantiy untrue. Though it certainly
is true that there are racists in the South, the same
can be said about any other region of the country.
Look at the beating of Rodney King in California, or
more recently, the acquittal of the police officer in
New York who strangled to death a young Hispanic
male. There are Klan marches in the Midwest and
skinheads in the North. On the other hand, while the
South is perhaps no better sic the rest of the coun-
try as regards racial bigotry, I think it is obvious to
anyone with even a cursory knowledge of history that
it is a paradise compared to what it once was.
Also, I am not really clear what this article is
saying about censorship. If Myers is saying that it's
bad, I certainly agree. But if the suggestion is that
censorship is commonplace in the South, I have to
disagree. The fact that he (or she) was able to get
this unpleasant article into print destroys the censor-
ship argument.
I'll close by simply saying that I am very tired of
bigoted, stereotypical characterizations of the South
as a whole, since we are as diverse in our views and
behaviors as anyone else. And I might also add that I
am not the slightest bit interested in the gastric dis-
turbances of Myers' grandmother.
Daniel Ketchum
Senior
HistAnth Doable Major
To the Editor,
As the writer of this particular article, I would like to
respond to Mr. Ketchum's letter (I will go ahead and make the
assumption that Daniel is a man's name).
I believe sir, that thou dost protest too much. If you had
paid closer attention to the theme of the article, you would
have been able to pick up the fact that my article was never
intended to make any cliche criticisms of the South. 1 love the
South I'm a Southerner.
What I did intend to do was make other Southerners who
had read the article aware of what I find to be a major problem
that we share at a cultural level. Southerners try to cover up or
dismiss or ignore problems that should be dealt with, and I
used my family as well as Senator Jesse Helms as examples of
this error in judgment
I attacked Helms in particular on the subjects of family
values, racism, gun control, sex education, censorship and de-
segregation because I feel that his stance on these issues is
indicative of the cultural problem to which I referred. As a
Southerner, I personally don't agree with his position, and I
actively protest against him at every' election. However, he has
been reflected so often that 1 made the assumption that there
must be a large number of Southerners who do agree with his
position.
This is where you come in, Mr. Ketchum. You yourself
serve as a perfect example of the problem to which I was refer-
ring.
You make a concerted effort to deny that anything is wrong
here in the South and vilify me for even proposing that it
might be so. Also, you refer to my grandmother's problem as
"gastric disturbances" when in actuality what my grandmother
was trying to cover up with that infamous match was much
more than mere gas. She had a bowel movement okay. Every-
one has them. I have them, you have them, and my grand-
mother certainly has them. What I want for the South, what I
want from you, Mr. Ketchum, is to stop denying that it hap-
pens.
Let's all forget the pretty face and the nice smile. Sure,
things have changed. If you want proof of the fact that I have
noticed the changes, then read my column that ran in the Oct
22 paper. However, we still have a long way to go.
That's what you need to admit Mr. Ketchum. If things are
ever going to really change down here, and I mean really change,
then we're going to have to deal with the fact that things haven't
changed as much as we would like to believe that they have. I
hope that that is clear enough for you
If you take the time to read this letter, then you might just
realize that we're really on the same side. I don't want to be
pigeonholed as an "ogre" for being Southern anymore than
you do. But there are plenty of "ogres" down here, and they
haven't changed since they first set foot in this country hun-
dreds of years ago. Let's you and I change things, Mr. Ketchunt
Let's stop the "ogres" from speaking for us. Let's show the
world what the South is really about
If I can answer any othei questions that you have about
my stance on things, please feel free to contact me at The East
Carolinian.

ECU needs a new congressman
In this big election year of 1996,
forget all the big, glossy political cam-
paigns on the national level and think
closer to home. Our congressman is
arguably the most powerful govern-
ment official we have over our local
lives. That is why it is so important for
ECU to have a good congressman and
that's why we should consider George
Parrott
Currently, ECU'S congressman is
Walter Jones, Jr. and Representative
Eva Clayton also presides over other
parts of Greenville. Congressman Jones
has one incredible asset and that is the
legend of his extraordinary father.
Walter Jones, Sr. governed over the
first district for many years and did an
incredible job. Jones Sr. encouraged
his young son to get involved in poli-
tics, and indeed, he took after his fa-
ther. He was appointed to the State
House, where he served as an able state
representative for 12 years. After Jones
Srs unfortunate passing, Eva Clayton
was picked to fill his shoes. Jones Jr.
left the State House to run against
Clayton, and was soundly defeated.
Walter Jr. was upset. He knew he
couldn't defeat Clayton, so he did two
unconscionable things.
First he ran in 1994 as the only
U.S. Representative not to live in his
district' Secondly, he sold his soul and
changed every political belief he had
held for years and changed his affilia-
tion from Democratic to Republican
just to win. He was pro-choice for years,
and all of a sudden, he became a pro-

life ultra-conservative. He was a cru-
sader for campaign finance reform, and
all of a sudden, he raked in thousands
of dollars from the special interests.
He changed his core beliefs just to get
elected, and got away with it He de-
feated Martin Lancaster in 1994, and
here we are.
An important thing to ask is: What
has our congressman done for ECU? In
the words of my grandmother, he hasn't
done diddly-squat In fact he voted to
cut $10 billion out of the College Loan
program. He has voted to eliminate the
Department of Education, has cut fund-
ing for Public Broadcasting and has
vowed never to support an increase in
the minimum wage as long as he is in
Congress. He has cut $2.3 billion from
the Environmental Protection Agency.
He also cut $270 billion- out of Medi-
care while offering a $245 tax cut to
the wealthiest one percent of the popu-
lation.
These are all facts.
His opponent is George Parrott He
is a man who wants to represent each
and every student at East Carolina Uni-
versity, as well as the rest of the third
district He wants to right the wrongs
committed by the extreme Gingrich
Congress. Parrott, though, is a moder-

Simpson was found not guilty for the
murders of Nicole Brown and Ron
Goldman. During the Simpson trial and
the media circus that surrounded it the
subject of domestic violence was brought
into the spotlight Domestic violence
tears at the very fabric of family and is
an extremely troubling issue.
Women's advocate groups are to be
commended for their efforts to end spou-
sal abuse. However, as with any cause,
an extremely liberal view can prove det-
rimental to one's efforts. Columnist John
Leo points to an importanL study of do-
mestic abuse. The study began in 1975
and was most recently updated in 1992.
In the May 13,1996 issue of U.S. News
and World Report. Leo states that due
in large part to the efforts of women's
organizations, husband abuse toward
wives has declined since 1975. During
that same time, though, spousal abuse
toward husbands has remained static As
a result instances of wives assaulting
husbands are now higher than husbands
abusing wives.
Ironically, under mandatory arrest
laws, states are now seeing more wives
arrested for petty assaults than husbands.
By focusing on one side of the issue and

demonizing men, Leo maintains that far
left groups have missed a prime oppor-
tunity to lower all domestic abuse cases.
Also in typical liberal fashion, arrest laws
that were supposedly meant to help
' women are now getting them arrested.
So, ladies think twice before you slap
your boyfriend; under liberal legislation
you may be the one arrested.
This is not to say that women's
abuse is to be trivialized; it is a very le-
gitimate issue. Instances of husband-to-
wife violence are much more violent
Women are much more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed in a domestic vio-J-
lence incident The time has come for
solid reform that protects the rights of?
women and children, rather that penal-
izing victims.
It is good to know that people are'
working to stop such violence. Ann Ht
Barnhill is such a person. Barnhill is a-
trial lawyer specializing in domestic vio1
lence and family law. Since 1979 Barnhill'
has fought for the rights of abused1
women here in Pitt County.
With sexual harassment and domes-
tic violence so prevalent in society, Mrs'
Barnhill is a bright light on the horizon; -
In an unprecedented move, Barnhill is'
running for election to the district court'
bench in Pitt County. She is the first
woman to ever file for election for this
position in Pitt County's history. If elected.
Barnhill will be the first woman and the
first Republican to be elected to this po?
tion. In the true Republican tradition she
will fight for individual rights, this time
the rights of battered women. Help to
show that Pitt County is - progressive com-

Think classical music isn't your
thing? Well, think again.
?? The London Chamber Orchestra
has been convincing people to change
their minds about classical music for
years. One of the Orchestra's goals is
to reach as many people as they can
while still maintaining the quality of
good classical music. How do they do
that? Easy - by convincing even hard-
core rock fans that classical music isn't
so bad.
Led by musical director Christo-
pher Warren-Green since 1988, the
London Chamber Orchestra gave its
first European tour in 1992 when it
traveled to over ten countries. Dur-

contemporary pieces in Wright Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m.
ing that tour, they performed success-
ful concerts at traditional classical
venues as well as at many venues that
were traditionally for "rock" music.
Their ability to draw broad audi-
ences is a tribute to the vision of
Warren-Green. His career began at an
early age. At 19 he joined the Acad-
emy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and was
named concertmaster of the
Philharmonia Orchestra of London
(POL) when he was only 21.
Think about that - I'm twenty
and all I've done so far is write a few
articles for a college paper. Maybe I
should have paid more attention to
my violin during elementary school?
For six years Warren-Green
served as concertmaster of the POL
until, in 1985. he returned to the Acad-
emy to serve as concertmaster. A per-
former as well as a concertmaster.
Warren-Green has performed as solo-
ist with the London Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra, the City of Birmingham
Symphony and the Singapore Sym-
phony, among others. He has worked
with such famous conductors as
Giuseppe Sinopoli and Michael Tilson
Thomas. He has conducted the Lon-
don Philharmonia in a performance
for Princess Diana. In short, the man
knows his stuff.
I know you're sitting there think-
ing, "Why should I go see them in
concert?"
Let me tell you why.

hope that you'll reserve that time
spot for them as they let the fun
tumble down during Midnight Mad-
ness on Halloween night.
The best part: it's free for all
students.
Midnight Madness will be held
from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the stu-

through the night include video
karaoke, a psychic hotline and open
bowling, billiards, and table tennis;
also planned are a DJ dance, for-

Academy Award animation available
Dale Williamson
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Toy Story, the first ever fully
computer-animated feature film, is
due out on video today, and it's sure
to generate boffo business in rent-
als and sales. While this animated
phenomena deserves all the atten-
tion and praise it receives, another
animated wonder that deserves the
same respect is currently out on
video.
The dynamic team of Wallace
& Gromit (a dense inventor and a
rather brilliant dog. respectively)
has become a huge hit on the BBC
in Britain and is developing a
strong cult following here (so far,
over 100.000 Wallace & Gromit vid-
eos have been sold in the United
States).
While the Wallace & Gromit
series is just as impressive as Toy
Story, there are some distinct dif-
ferences. First, Wallace & Gromit
are not products of the computer
age. Instead, they are given life
through the classic style of
claymation, but of a much higher-
than-usual quality than is normai
for the art form. The ciaymation of
Wallace & Gromit is just as cutting
edge as any computer-generated ef-
fect, and it has not gone unnoticed
from the critical community. Thus
far, the Wallace & Gromit series has
been nominated for three Academy
Awards and has won two.
The second difference is a mi-
nor one but should still be pointed
out. The Wallace & Gromit films are
animated shorts instead of features,
meaning they only last approxi-
mately 30 minutes each. Still, each
30-minute tape is filled with fea-
ture-film quality.
The final distinction centers
around the humor of Wallace &
Gromit. They are creations of the
Brits, and. as many know, the Brit-
ish notion of humor can be a bit

more subtle and bizarre than the
American and sometimes it's just
plain silly.
But that only makes Wallace &
Gromit all the more delicious. The
films exhibit not only animation at
its best but also humor filled with
wit and intelligence, a nice alterna-
tive to most animation I - the
market.
The genius behind the ani-
mated duo is Nick Park, who be-
gan his life-long project back in
1983 when he started working on
the first Wallace ? Gromit story. A
Grand Day Out. Park's expertise in
claymation is the result of a career
filled with ground-breaking mo-
ments in animation. He was one ol
the masterminds who thrilled the
eye with dazzling animated effects
in Peter Gabriel's award-winning
video for the song "Sledgeham-
mer With successes like that on
his resume. Park soon found him-
self able to freely explore his own
narrative ideas through Wallace &
Gromit.
Credit must be given to Park
for his ability to imbue his clay-
characters with so much personal-
ity. These characters immediately
grow on the viewer through their
idiosyncrasies. As Park points out.
Wallace is the denser of the two,
whereas Gromit is more clever
he's on top of everything. He's also
the more sensitive of the pair. He
is Wallace's faithful friend, and
that's been his biggest problem.

Finally. The Blues Explosion is
back with a new album. That's not
to say that the members of the band
haven't been busy.
Since their last album. Orange,
Jon himself has recorded an album
with Boss Hog (a band which in-
cludes his wife Cristina Martinez).
Russell Simins. the drummer, has
played backing tracks for Fred
Schneider's (of the B-52's) last solo
album. Fred, and was part of a group
called Butter (which also includes
members of Cibo Matto) who re-
leased an album and toured in sup-
port of it last year. Finally, all three
members of the Blues Explosion,
Spencer, Simins and guitarist Judah
Bauer, also performed as the back-
ing band for the veteran blues art-
ist R.L. Burnside on his last album.
A Ass Pocket of Whiskey.
The result of all of that hard
work and all those disparate influ-
ences is the phenomenal tour de
force. Now I Got Worry. The Blues
Explosion is possibly more riveting
and powerful on this new album
than they have ever been.
The album opens with Spencer
screaming for over 15 seconds
straight, making sound almost as if
Where this sextet is coming
from no one will ever know. Rusted
Root, the band from Pittsburgh, Pa.
that originally formed in 1990, has
been taking the underground by
storm for six years. With this new
album. Remember, the band seems
to have made their way into the
mainstream.
The album starts off with "Faith
I Do Believe an unbelievable track.
They take it to you right from the
get go. The sound is identifiable and
people will hear melodies that will
take them as far as India. It's a hell
of a journey.
The album then proceeds to
keep your attention with classical
guitars and mandolins on the sec-
ond track, "Heaven Falsettos ring
out from singer-songwriterguitar-
ist Michael Clabicki and Liz Berlin,
who plays percussion and provides
supporting vocals. It's an impressive
array of harmony. Take the time to
close your eyes and listen; 1 guaran-
tee it will be worth it.
The most amazing thing about
this band is their timing. The band
is composed of six members and five
of them are percussion players. If
anything, they've got the groove.
Above all, the band is very di-

JON from page 7
he is giving birth to this new album.
The first track, "Skunk sounds like
a perfect mixture of Boss Hog's
gothic punk and Spencer's own wail-
ing tendencies.
The album quickly moves into
classic Blues Explosion territory
with "Identify a fast rocker with a
one-word lyric, and "Wail which
has sonic links to "Sweat one of
the best tracks from Orange.
Next, there's a change-up when
the band covers a Dub Narcotic
track, "Fuck Shit Up in which
Bauer takes lead vocals over a syn-
copated drum loop and a smatter-
ing of guitar. This is definitely new
and strange for the Blues Explosion.
It's always good to see a band chal-
lenge themselves and move into
uncharted territory.
"2 Kindsa Love" and "Love All
of Me" are primo power punk blues
from Spencer and company. They're
the kind of songs that you know will
serve get a crowd dancing and sweat-
ing, two things that definitely hap-
pen during the intense Blues Explo-
sion shows.
The legendary Rufus Thomas
makes his first appearance on a
Blues Explosion record with
"Chicken Dog a vintage blues track
he wrote himself. Only Jon Spencer
could get a blues statesman like
Thomas to play, sing and bark (that's
right I said bark) on a record for him.
This track has to be heard to be
believed.
Following the caterwauling end
of "Chicken Dog" comes the fantas-
tic track "Rocketship Possibly the
best song on the album,
"Rocketship" features a slide guitar,
a slowed down pace, and vocals that
sound a bit like old Aerosmith. Al-
though this might sound like a di-
sastrous combination to some, here
it works wonderfully. This tune is
one that demands repeated listen-
ing.
"Dynamite" and "Hot Shot" re-
turn back to familiar Blues Explo-
sion territory with their full-on au-
ditory attack. "Dynamite" features
Spencer doing his patented Mick
JaggerElvis Presley cross-over im-
personation. "Hot Shot" is a throb-
bing rockabilly instrumental that is
shot through with small vocal yelps.
The first time that I heard "Can't
Stop" I couldn't get the saloon pi-
ano roll that runs through the song
out of my head. It came as no sur-
prise to me to learn that the piano
was played by none other than Mark
Ramos-Nishita, also known as Money
Mark, a successful solo artist and
erstwhile keyboardist for the Beastie
Boys. Money Mark also contributes
to two other tracks on the album as
well.
And the Beastie's influence
doesn't end there, either. One of the
engineers that worked on Now I Got
Worry was Mario Caldato, Jr. who
produced the extremely successful
Beastie Boys albums Check Your
Head and III Communication.
"Can't Stop" is probably neck-
in-neck with "Rocketship" for best
track on the album, if only for the
reason that it includes these sarcas-
tic lines: "This is the part of the
record, Where I'd like everybody
to stand up Throw their hands in
the air and in typical Jon Spen-
cer fashion, he doesn't say "and wave
'em like you just don't care but in-
stead, "and kiss my ass, Cuz your
girlfriend still loves me Beautiful.
The album continues the Money
Mark keyboard influence on "Firefly
Child which rotates a constant wall
of guitar noise with that of a cheesy
clavinet organ.
"Eyeballin" churns its way
through the latter part of the album
and the slide guitar returns. At the
end, it suddenly breaks into a short
but powerful drum attack by Simins.
This leads into the instrumental
"R.L. Got Soul" which is under-
pinned by a low chant much like
those of the Buddhist monks on the
Beasties' Communication.
"Get Over Here" explodes out of
the stereo in more typical punk fash-
ion like Spencer used to do back in
his Pussy Galore days. All of the amps
are definitely turned to 11 on this
one.
Finally, "Sticky an instrumen-
tal oddity that sounds like the
soundtrack to some wacko perfor-
mance art, closes out the album on
a weird note.
Spencer has certainly redefined
the labels "alternative "punk" and
"blues" that people in the music in-
dustry like to pigeonhole acts into,
and in the process he has created a
masterpiece of modern music. If you
don't do yourself the favor of going
out and buying this record right now,
then you'll be missing out on a true
gem. No recent music deserves the
"pay full price" rating more than Now
Got Worry.

Wallace is simpler, and somewhat
foolish
A Grand Day Out perfectly ex-
emplifies the two characters' per-
sonalities. In this story. Wallace,
who is an intense lover of cheese,
is horrified to discover that he has
run out of cheese on a day when
all the stores are closed. What does
one do in such a situation? How
about building a rocket ship and
blasting off to the moon, which is.
of course, made of cheese. Gromit.
being the loyal friend he is. be-
grudgingly tags along to make sure
that Wallace doesn't do something
stupid.
A Grand Day Out features the
top-notch animation that has be-
come a staple of Park's work, but
it is mainly a goofy little adventure
with little plot. However, The
Wrong Trousers, the second short
in the series, decidedly focuses
more effort on plot and creates a
classy film noir-esque treat with a
Hitchcockian edge. In this story, a
mysterious penguin, who has some
sort of evil plan up his wing, be-
comes a boarder in the home of
Wallace & Gromit. While Wallace
finds the penguin to be an enjoy-
able housemate, the wiser Gromit
has suspicions. By focusing more
on plot. Park's work on The Wrong
Trousers won the 1993 Academy
Award for best animated short film.
This focus on plot carries
through to the third short. A Close
Shave, with the same results. Park
and co-writer Bob Baker both pay
homage to the classic mysteryde-
tective films of days past with
storylines that would seem ludi-
crous in any genre other than ani-
mation. Where else but in an ani-
mated film could one write about
a man and his brilliant dog who be-
come entangled in a conspiracy in-
volving disappearing sheep, a mys-
terious woman who owns a wool
shop, and a menacing dog with su-
perior strength? The result: A Close
Shave won another best animated
shortjilm Academy Award for Park
last year.
Other notable aspects of the
Wallace & Gromit series include the
amusingly appropriate musical
score of Julian Nott: the extraordi-
nary lighting effects created
through Parks' eye for enticingly-
detailed visuals; the edge-of-your
seat, action-packed climatic endings
for each story; and, last but not
least, the impeccable voice of- Pe-
ter Sallis. who helps brings the
character of Wallace to glorious
life.
So. when you rush out this
week to rent Toy Story and find
that every copy within eastern N.C.
has been checked out. don't over
look Wallace & Gromit. They will
not disappoint.

jungle-like rhythm to beats played
behind a slide guitar, as on track
four, "Virtual Reality The band's
roots remain prominent, however,
they take on a whole new sound. It's
different. Different is good.
The band tends to get crazy on
songs like "Voodoo" and "Silver-N-
Gold mainly because of Glabicki's
voice. His presence is there and it
shines.
The seventh song, the lucky
number, is called "Dangle It has a
change that picks up so smoothly
and takes you back to the ever im-
pressive "Dancing Nancies which
was written by Dave Matthews in his
early twenties. It's always great to
see artists using the influence of
others around them, even if these
influences happen to be alive and
kicking today.
The most surprising thing
about this album is the acoustic
sound. From the way it w?s written
to the way it was recorded, you can
tell that the band is really stretch-

Marketing Director Carol Woo-
druff said Midnight Madness,
hosted and planned by staff mem-
bers, is intended to provide an al-
ternative for students in an alco-
hol-free environment.
"It is an activity that came out
of a desire to give students some-
thing different to do on Halloween
night she explained.
Woodruff and her staff will
make the student center an appro-
priate site for Midnight Madness as
they plan to decorate Mendenhall
on every level with ghosts, goblins,
cobwebs and other Halloween-in-
spired decorations.
The event has been well-at-
tended in the past, and Woodruff
expects nothing less this year.

Orchestra performs without a conduc-

of the orchestra - not big names

The London Chamber
Orchestra's repertoire includes pieces
from Mozart Glass, Haydn, Elgar, and
Vivaldi, among others. There are 13
members in the orchestra, and to-
gether they provide 17 strings worth

It is the oldest chamber orches-

jim Donovan, Jim DiSpirito,
Patrick Norman, John Buynak and
Liz Berlin all play percussion and
sing on this album. The communica-

don't seem to mind the wait, you've
found a place called home.
The last two songs on this
record, "Scattered" and "Circle of Re-
membrance" stand out and leave you
with a record fulfilled. Just like the
rest of the album, the songs are dif-
ferent, but they relate. You can tell
they're coming from the same place
- Glabicki's cerebral cortex. (That's
his mind if you're not into the psy-
chology thing.) It's the fire inside this
man that has kept this band going.

SCREAM from page 7
flea market and I see an action figure
of The Six Million Dollar Man. And.
yes, 1 collect Star Wars merchandise.
But there is a dilemma when one
tries to recapture those items of one's
childhood. Things change, that's a
simple fact. Still, some changes are
not always for the better. 1 can no
longer turn to a local TV station and
watch The Rifleman, or Wild. Wild
West, or any of those old westerns. I
can't even enjoy local weekend pre-
sentations of creature feature (filled
with such flicks as Godzilla vs. Mothra
or Was a Teenage Frankenstein).
Why? The answer centers around
the fact that local stations no longer
carry the shows of my childhood. They
have a'l (and I mean it when 1 say ALL)
been bought up by larger corporate
cable stations. If I want to see Chuck
Connors empty his deadly rifle on
some poor villain, I have to fork out
some hard-earned cash to my local
cable company. Same goes for all the
monster movies and cartoons of my
youth. The likes of Ted Turner now
own the whole idea of the creature
feature.
My point to all this is that our
childhood (not just the childhood of
the twenty-somethings, but the child-
hood of every adult) has become a
profitable commodity. Chances are, if
you had some special item during your
childhood but lost it along your life's
journey, to get it back now will cost
you some serious money.
I've gone to several comic book
and toy shows within the last year,
and I've seen dealers charging a for-
tune for things from my past. All the
Star Wars toys I had as a mindless
kid could feed a family of live for sev-
eral months. Two hundred dollars for
a three-inch plastic toy - are you
crazy?
Well, the collectible market is
bigger know than it has ever been,
and many people are earning their
livelihood off of it. As happy as I am
to see people sharing interests with
me. I see the collectible market as
quickly becoming a greedy perversion
of what should be a silly hobby, and
an abuse on consumers who truly find
pleasure in regaining some of their
past.
For instance, the other week I
was in Target checking out what new
Star Wars merchandise had come out
and I saw a man about my age also
browsing. Hoping to strike up a con-
versation about our similar interest, I
informed him about the Star Wars
toys Wal-Mart had. He smiled and in-
formed me that he already owned ten
each of all the new items. He then
further added that he bought out
what the stores had and just threw
the unopened packages into a closet
where they will rise in value.
Value? Value to whom, I won-
dered? This gentleman didn't buy the
?
has arrived.

toys for any respectable reason other
than to make a quick profit. Worse
yet. people like him are making it !
harder for honest collectors who sim- :
ply want to enjoy the products for
what they are. If everyone is buying i
ten of each figure hoping the value
will rise, then my chances of getting
the new Han Solo are slim to none.
And - hat about today's children '
who want to get into the Star Wars
craze? As silly as this may sound, the '
greed of the collectible market is, in a
small way, cheating the new genera-
tion of their deserved childhood. Kids
these days have to compete with big-
ger kids with bigger incomes to sim- ;
ply purchase a toy.
If you think I'm overreacting, just '
hop on down to Target. In an effort
t combat this collectible craze. Tar- '
get has posted signs indicating that
they have changed their policies on
when toys will be placed on the floor.
Now, employees of Target can't get
first dibs on the merchandise, the
schedule for stocking merchandise has
been altered so that people can't come "
in first thing in the morning and buy
the store out, and, more importantly,
sales on single items have been lim-
ited to individual customers.
If the collectible market has be-
come such a joke that even a major n
corporation like Target has taken ac-
tion against it, something must be ;
amiss.
What it all comes down to is that .
the collectible market has become :
greedy. As a result, being a collector i
is more of a pain in the ass than it
should be. 1 enjoy the hunt to find i
those treasures of my past and I don't ?'
mind paying a little extra for this privi-
lege, but things have gotten a little
too stupid for me lately.
I am a nostalgic collector of child- ?
hood things. As childish as this may
seem. I have no insecurities about this ?
fact. Still, I think it's about time for .
everyone within the collectible mar- .
ket to grow up and start behaving with i
a little more responsibility.

ECU women's volleyball contin-
ued to fight for some respect, as the
iady Pirates lost in three straight
games to George Mason in a match
ithat was unbalanced from the begin-
ming.
r ECU was well aware that George
tlason was top in the conference and
22 in the nation going into Friday
Slight's ball game and that is exactly
-jhow they played. Mason came out
astrong in the first g?:ne and made
?jtheir presence known early, establish-
-(ing their front line on the net that,
ygreatly out-matched the Lady Pirates.
Virag Domokos, 6'3 middle
blocker for George Mason, was a force
to be reckoned with in the middle, as
she dominated the middle of the net
uThe Pirates had their hands full and
-only managed to come away with
three points that resulted mostly from
Ljfason mistakes. ECU lost the first
game 15-3.
v. The second game did not get any
lobetter for ECU, as George Mason set
ithe Pirates on their heels early. Ma-
son seemed to be able to cover the
entire court with relative ease and
they rolled to a 15-1 victory in the
second game. Once again, Mason ral-
lied behind the play of Domokos.
In the third game Mason came
out ready to put the Pirates away and
?rolled off an eight straight points be-
fore the Pirates could even get a side
?out The Pirates would try and make
a late game rally behind the play of
freshman Julia D'Alo. D!Alo was able
Jto catch Mason by surprise several
times with lobs over the net that
caught Mason looking. Senior Kristen
?Woodruff would also try to get into
?the action with a hard shot to the
? middle of the court to make the score
j 144. George Mason would eventually
come away with the third game win
154, after a smashing shot by Woo-
druff went sailing out of bounds.

coach Kim Walker said. "She really
ripped that ball. If that ball would have
been playable, we would have had an-
other side-out; and who knows what
would have happened?"
Susan Woodward was especially
pleased witfi ECU'S effort against
such a strong team.
"We hung in there and played
tough against them and nobody ever
backed down Woodward said. "We
played hard until the very last point
of the game; that makes me happy
Walker was also pleased with the
team's determination in this big of a
game.
"For a team that is ranked 22 in
the country, I thought we fought the
entire match Walker said. "It was
14-1 and we were still playing like
it's 14-14; I keep telling them were
getting better and we are
Walker also pointed out that
while the team is struggling, they are
showing signs of improvement and
continue to show her positives.
"I'm happy that we are seeing a
lot of positives; it's not showing up
in the win-loss column but we're see-
ing other things on the court
Walker said. "Our players are not
quitting and they're hanging in there.
All of this adversity will pay off in
the long run
ECU continued to slump as they
lost to American Saturday night in
three straight games (10-15, 8-15,
11-15). D'Alo led the team in kills
with eight against American. Fresh-
man Shannon Kaess was second on
the team with seven kills.
With these two conference
losses, ECU now stands at 04 in the
CAA and 6-20 overall.
Women's ultimate flying high
i Frisbee team
preparing for
upcoming games
?. Tracy Laubach
' Staff Writer
The name of the team is "Helios
5 a woru of Greek origin, meaning "sis-
! ters of the sun The 'Women's Ulti-
? mate Frisbee team, which currently
; consists of 17 "sisters has had an
J extremely successful fall season thus
far.
The team placed third at the sec-
tional competition, which was held at
! UNC-Wilmington on the weekend of
? Oct 5-6. The top three finishers at
! sectionals qualified to proceed to the
regional competition, which was held
? Oct 19-20 in Philadelphia.
Making it to the regionals was
quite an accomplishment for the girls.
However, they were eliminated in the
first round of competition.
So what is it exactly that these
girls get out of playing ultimate
I frisbee? Mona Sarafa, president of the
I club, values the things that she has
gained through her experiences as a
I player.
"The excitement of competing
I and having the opportunity to travel
t
is so rewarding Sarafa said. "Play-
ing frisbee is great exercise, and has
helped me to make so many close
friends
The club is broken down into two
seasons: the fall and the spring. In
the fall, the team participates in
mostly non-collegiate competitions,
while in the spring, all of the battles
are against teams from other univer-
sities.
"The fall season is a great time
for learning Sarafa said. "Sometimes
we go head on against a more experi-
enced or mature team, which helps
us learn a lot about our strengths and
weaknesses
Perhaps the most unique thing
about the sport is that it integrates
many concepts used by other sports,
including soccer, football and basket-
ball. While the playing field has the
same dimensions as a soccer field, the
frisbee can be intercepted (as in foot-
ball), and the players often complete
a pivot turnas in basketball) to get
around their defenders.
At the start of the game, seven
players rush the field and begin pass-
ing the frisbee among teammates until
a point is scored in the end zone.
Throwers have 10 seconds to pass the
frisbee. If any player possesses the
frisbee for more than 10 seconds,
there is a turnover, which calls for a
change of defense. If the frisbee is
dropped, sent out of bounds or inter-
cepted, the other team gains posses-
sion.
ECU hosts a bi-annual ultimate
frisbee tournament called "Ultimate
XXVII The tournament, which is
held once in the fall and once in the
spring, brings in teams from all over
the east coast. Ten women's teams
and 18 open (coedteams will meet
on the fields surrounding Dowdy-
Ficklen stadium on Nov. 23-24. The
competition is held so that teams can
get an idea of where they stand in
relation to their opponents.
The captain of the team, Hobbs
Wolcott, had the opportunity to com-
pete as part of the women's team at
nationals in 1994. Her background
and experience have helped her lead
her teammates up the ladder of suc-
cess this year.
The team is registered as a mem-
ber of the Ultimate Players Associa-
tion. Any club that wishes to com-
pete in sectionals, regionals or nation-
als must be a member of this national
organization.
As president of the organization,
Sarafa is pleased with the overall suc-
cess of the club. However, she feels
that the players are at a disadvantage
due to the destruction of their prac-
tice fields.

The ECU men's soccer team had
an exceptional pair of bouts with
Charleston Southern and Virginia
Military on Bunting Field last week.
The men's team has had to deal
with a nine game losing streak this
season, but things are beginning to
look up for the young team. With two
consecutive wins against two tough
teams, the offense seems to be step-
ping up.
"We are beginning to play smart
soccer Head Coach Will Wiberg
said. "We are getting some width to
our attack, and gaining a lot of expe-
rience for this young team
Under windy and threatening
skies, ECU took on the Charleston
Southern Buccaneers in a Wednes-
day afternoon skirmish.
The Buccaneers made it look
like a long game laid ahead with a'
pounding offensive drive. The Pirates
were slow to start off, but picked up
their game quickly.
On the 11th minute of play,
Wyatt Panos dished to Chris Padgett,
who rocketed a goal past the boggled
goalkeeper. This play inspired goals
to come for the rest of the game.
Shortly after, Jay Davis was
fouled and the Pirates were awarded
a penalty kick. Padgett scored again
on the kick.
ECU kept up the pressure by
making a shot attempt on nearly ev-
ery drive. The Buccaneers didn't
break their defense and crowded the
goal box often.
About 14 minutes into the half,
Panos scored off a combination of
passes from Padgett and Brian Tay-
lor.
Charleston then scored their one
and only goal from a penalty kick
midway through the second half.
As the sun came out of the
clouds, Charleston woke up. Realiz-
ing the hole they were in, the Bucca-
neers attacked the ball in despera-
tion. The field began to look like a
tumbling exercise when the two
teams clashed at midfield.
ECU overcame the Charleston
attack and Panos scored again in the
87th minute, after an assist from Josh
Sklar.
The game concluded with a
score of 4-1, Pirates.
"We played well today Wiberg
said. "We stressed keeping the ball
wide on our attacks and today it paid
off. We felt good with a 2-0 lead at
halftime. We were able to play a lot
of people which was nice
The action continued with a suc-
cessful venture against the Virginia
Military Institute on Sunday.
A large audience assembled to
watch the clash.
Revenge was in order after a loss
to VMI last season, which was de-
cided over a last minute play. The
Pirates were still pumped from
Wednesday and it showed on the
field.
VMI started off by attempting to
score early on the Pirate goal de-
fended by Kevin Smith. Their efforts
resulted in frustration on VMI's part.
Freshman
Andy Crawford
converted a pass
from Padgett to
put ECU on the
board in the 11th
minute of play.
Five minutes
ahead, Crawford
scored again from
another well played
pass from Padgett,
leaving the score at
2-0 in the Pirates'
favor
The more ECU
pulled ahead, the
more aggressive
VMI became. Vari-
ous yellow cards
were issued against
both teams
throughout the
game.
After the half,
Padgett continued
his game by finding
the back of the net
and upping the
ECU advantage.
Pirate goal-
keeper Kevin Smith
held especially
strong in the box,
not allowing any goals throughout the
first half, and into the second half. Jay
Davis was substituted in for Smith and
did an equally good job attacking the
ball. Smith recorded four saves, Davis
had one.
The game came to a close after
an eventful second half bout, leaving
the final score at 3-0 a Pirate victory.
"We showed a good effort today
Wiberg said. "We always seem to play
well with a confident lead at the half,
and that's what we had. Chris Padgett
had a tremendous game today, and I

in scoring and assists with six goals
and five recorded assists.

ence play in Fairfax, Va, when th$y
face up against George Mason.

The Lady Pirates dominated
their opponents by claiming first
place in all 13 events and taking
the top three spots in eight differ-
ent races. They were led by senior
Melanie Mackwood and freshman
Casey Sloan. Each won two events.
Mackwood took first place in the
50 and 100 freestyle competitions.
Sloan was victorious in the 500 and
1000 freestyle events. She was also
on the winning 400 relay-freestyle
team.
The men's team placed at least
two Pirates in the top three in
seven different events. Leading
them was freshman Patrick
McGonigal. He brought home first
place in the 500 and 1000 freestyle.
McGonigal also helped the Pirates
win the 400 relay-freestyle event.
Sophomore Paul Pinther won the
only other event for the men, 200
backstroke.
"This was a great way to start
off our season head coach Rick
Kobe said. "We completely domi-
nated them
?
The 1996 ECU women's soccer-
team downed Georgetown on Friday
in Washington D.C 1-0.
The Pirates and the Hoyas du-
eled for 76 scoreless minutes until
junior midfielder Sheila Best drew
a foul inside the Hoya goalie box.
Junior midfielder Stacie Cause
nailed the penalty kick for ECU as
the visitors took a 1-0 lead.
, ECU's defense took it form
there and prevented any scoring op-
portunities while allowing 11 shots
on goal in the second half. Fresh-
man goal keeper Amy Horton
notched five saves for ECU while her;
teammates registered nine shots on;
goal. GU's Keisha McDonald re-
corded two saves as the Hoyas had;
14 shots on goal.
"We played very well today, es
pecially in the early part of the sec-
ond half ECU head coach Neil Rob;
erts said. 'Shelia Best did a great
job getting into the box and draw-
ing that foul. Stacie Cause did a
nice job finishing off the penalty
kick
"So many things have gone
against us this year, it is good to be
on the plus side of this one Rob-
erts said. "This is a very good win
for us going into the GMU match
The second half of the Lady
Pirates' road trip didn't go as well
as they fell to the Lady Patriots.
ECU fell to George Mason University
3-0 at GMU Stadium.
The 17th ranked Patriots
rattled off their early first half scor?
as the team remained unbeaten in
the CAA. Led by junior forward Tay-
lor Eubank's one goal and one as-
sist, the Patriots controlled most of
the game. Mason's Jenn Gross and
Jill Ford added the finished touches
to the 3-0 defeat
"It was an incredibly physical
contest today Roberts said. "I am
pleased with the way our players
hung there against a very good
George Mason team.
The Pirates will meet American
University in Washington D.C. Sat-
urday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. The Pirates
will wrap up their season with the
Eagles as they look to prepare for

"If I could change one thing about
our club, I would definitely attempt to
improve the conditions of the fields
that we practice on Sarafa said.
"They have been destroyed by people
walking and riding their bikes through
them. There is actually a bike trail that
runs directly through our field
The girls practice three times a
week, and although attendance is not
mandatory, most of the members are
completely dedicated to the program
and show up at all of the scheduled
