The Homecoming football
game won't be played until Satur-
day, but Homecoming activities
have already begun and will con-
tinue throughout this week, culmi-
nating with the football game as
the grand finale.
Amber Huffman, chair of the
Student Homecoming Committee,
said that planning foi this year's
Homecoming events started back in
January, when she first began or-
ganizing this year's committee.
"There are 12 people in the
Homecoming committee, including
the advisor and the chair Huffman
said. "The people that are chosen
for the Homecoming committee are
chosen through the representative
organizations
The first official Homecoming
event was conducted last week,
when the Homecoming Court was
voted on by students. Huffman said
she was pleased with both the voter
turnout?approximately 850 voted-
and with the resulting court.
"I'm really pleased with the
court this year. We have a wide va-
riety. We have some older students,
some younger students. We have a
representative of races, so I was re-
ally excited Huffman said.
The first event of this week will
be meant not for the ECU students,
but for children 14 and under. Rep-
resentatives from each ECU sport
will go out to Carolina East Mall
on Tuesday night and sign auto-
graphs. The first 100 kids will re-

ECU, Greenville police gear up for Halloween
Hope to keep
order during
annual downtown
tradition
Jennifer Barnes
Staff Writer
Expecting students to continue
the tradition of gathering downtown
on Halloween, police plan to main-
tain their safety while they celebrate.
Major Joe Simonowich agrees
that as long as things go as well as
they went last year, there won't be a
problem.
"Last year, things went excel-
lent Simonowich said. "There were
no arrests made and no property
damage
This good behavior by the
people might have been mostly due
to the small crowd. Officers are still
prepared to take action in accordance
to the turnout size.
"Should the crowd grow to
where they have to get out on the
street we will make a decision to
block off the street Simonowich
said.
Even though no one is sure as
to the what the size of the crowd will
be, Simonowich says that he does not
see the safety of the public as being
a major problem.
To ensure this safety,
Simonowich said that extra precau-
tions will be taken.
"One hundred and twenty police
officers will be on dut during Hal-
loween Simonowich said.
Also, Simonowich said that the
rumors about officers being on the
roofs of buildings are true.
"Police officers will be watching
from on top of buildings
Simonowich said.
Not unlike any other night down-
town, there will be regulations that
the crowd must abide by.
"There will be no open contain-
ers on the streets Simonowich said.
"All alcohol should be consumed in
nightclubs and bars
Although the police are doing
all they can to secure everyone's
safety, each individual must help by
making good judgment and not put-
ting one's self into a dangerous situ-
ation.
"Everyone should be sure to go
downtown in groups Simonowich
said. "If you are wearing a costume,
make sure you can see out of the cos-
tume
The suggestions and rules made
are not to discourage people from
coming downtown, but just to make
sure that everything stays under con-
trol. Simonowich encourages stu-
dents to participate in the festivities,
but to act in accordance with the sys-
tem.
"I welcome the students to come
downtown to celebrate and have a
good time Simonowich said, "but
while doing so, not violate the law
Gantt presents challenge to Helms
Gantt questions
donations in press
conference
Amy L. Royster
Assistant News Editor
Harvey Gantt called for incum-
bent Jesse Helms to disclose the
source of over $3 million in contri-
butions to the Jesse Helms Center
in a press conference on campus
Tuesday.
Immediately following a rally i.i
front of Mendenhall Student Cen-
ter, Gantt cited information re-
leased by The Washington Post
Saturday which stated that the
Helms Center Foundation received
$325,000 in contributions from for-
eign governments. Identified dona-
tions included $100,000 from the
government of Kuwait in 1991 and
$225,000 from the government of
Taiwan. Contributions from Taiwan
were given to the Helms Center
Foundation while Senator Helms
presided as chairman of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Washington Post said that
while the Foundation refused to
release any sources, the paper iden-
tified that corporations such as R.
J. Reynolds, Phillip Morris and
Milliken and Co. donated
$1,785,000. Approximately $3 mil-
lion in donations were left without
identifiable sources.
"I challenge Senator Helms to-
day to disclose who these people
are Gantt said. "I want him to dis-
close to the people of North Caro-
lina and the country where this
money is coming from
While Gantt said the identified
contributions to the Helms Center
Foundation are not illegal, he ques-
tioned Heims' ethics by suggesting
the senator could not effectively
serve the people of N.C. if he owed
favors to governments and corpo-
rations.
"Senator Helms is in Washing-
ton doing the bidding for some
other folks Gantt said. "We are

when they are available.
"We have a lot of praticum stu-
dents, we have a lot of volunteers.
Any volunteers are more than wel-
come Roach said.
In addition to the staff of the
pre-school, the graduate students
that Roach mentioned were instru-
mental in making this event hap-
pen.
"The graduate students in Dr.
James Taylor's class are responsible
for activities. We're going to have
a hot pumpkin game, like hot po-
tato. We're going to have a bean
bag toss, we have cutout pictures.
We have face painting to get into
the carnival atmosphere, and that's
pretty much what we've got
planned Roach said.
This is the first time that REAP
has held this carnival, and all the
staff were hoping for good results.
"This is our first annual. That's

Call for changes
to benefit younger
generation
Amy L. Royster
Assistant News Editor
ji??nninniii in hiumiiwi n
An ECU business managment
major, running for N.C. House dis-
trict nine, offers voters a new ap-
proach by calling for changes and
appealing to his generation.
Johnny Rouse, 25. a registered
Libertarian, supports philosophies
of the party which he said are based
on the founding fathers' ideals for
this country.
The Libertarian party is based
on the founding fathers' ideas that
the least government is best Rouse
said. "Social programs should be
promoted rather than provided by
the government. The Libertarian
party supports legislature which
gives money back to people to in-
vest in the community in the ways
they choose, therefore, giving power
back to the people
Rouse, who is a native of
Greene County, attended ECU for
one year in 1989. before enlisting
in the Air Force. During his four
years in the military. Rouse received
training in meteorology. Rouse is
married and has a nine-month-old
son. While currently attending ECU.
he works for the Department of
Corrections as a correctional officer.
"I work full-time and go to
school full-timeRouse said. "I've
been running an information cam-
paign on the issues
Running a self-proclaimed
grass-roots campaign, Rouse said he
spreads his message by word of
mouth.
Rouse supports choice in edu-
cation and wants to give vouchers
to parents so they can send their
children to the school of their
choice.
"We need to know how many
parents would take advantage of the
vouchers and leave public schools
Rouse said. "Parents should be re-
quired to give at least a one year
notice to give the schools the chance
to reorganize. The major advantage
of this is that parents can send their
children to schools which support
the same things they do when it
comes to issues, such as school
prayer
Rouse also supports the legal-
ization of industrial hemp. Rouse
said the plant, which is currently
grown in England and France, can
be used to make fabric, rope, paper
and paint. Rouse acknowledges that
while industrial hemp is in its in-
fancy, he foresees it as being an im-
portant crop to farmers in eastern
North Carolina.
"With tobacco farmers coming
under heat from the federal govern-
ment, they will need to look towards
other crops Rouse said
Rouse said he is opposed to
Affirmative Action because he be-
lieves it creates more racial tensions
than it resolves.
"I think each individual should
be hired regardless of race or sex
Rouse said. "I think it causes more
resentment and increases race rela-
tions problems
Rouse said his opponents, who
include Republican incumbent M.W.
"Henry" Aldridge and challenger
Democrat Charles S. Ward, are part
of an endless struggle between
Democrats and Republicans which
results in excessive legislature which
citizens pay for.
"Each party is splitting the
American people Rouse said. "The
Republicans and Democrats want to school and has a science education
build their own programs without Rouse said that Ward's support

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Clinton is spending more than
$1 million a day on television ads
in the campaign's final week as he
tries to block any path to a Bob
Dole comeback and Rut several tra-
ditional GOP strongholds in the
Democratic column.
With the luxury of a lead,
Clinton has a campaign schedule
that reaches through the final
weekend and included stops today
in Michigan, Colorado and Arizona.
Dole was campaigning in Tennes-
see. Louisiana and Florida today
and scrambling to settle on a sched-
ule beyond that.
inaeea, tne uoie campaign ana
other Republican sources painted
a picture of strategic chaos as the
GOP nominee searched for a for-
mula to overcome Clinton's lop-
sided lead in the Electoral College.
While Dole at every stop pre-
dicts a dramatic comeback, aides
and associates said Dole was under
no illusions about his standing but
was determined to make it a com-
petitive race and help Republicans
in congressional contests.
One senior aide in Washington
said Dole had taken a heavy hand
in scheduling, repeatedly asking for
more polling information as he
looked for states where Clinton's
lead was shaky.
"Something is happening
across America Dole said Tuesday
evening in Colorado, a battle-
ground state where Clinton holds
a narrow lead. "The people are be-
ginning to focus
Clinton, at a Washington fund-
raiser Tuesday night that was
dubbed a "victory" concert, asked
a youthful audience of supporters
and contributors to keep pushing
hard right until Election Day next
Tuesday.
"I ask you to give, I ask you to
give seven more days of your effort,
your voice, your commitment and
your passion the president said,
arousing a chorus of cheers.
Clinton's script called for him
to piay it saie ana spena much oi
the final week focusing on educa-
tion, an issue that Democratic poll-
ing shows has powerful appeal to
independent voters and on which
Clinton and fellow Democrats en-
joy an advantage over Republicans.
On Tuesday, Clinton recom-
mended the establishment of 3,000
charter schools, which operate
without many of the constraints im-
posed by local public school dis-
tricts.

Gore accused of convient hearing loss
Press says VP to
resemble Reagan
WASHINGTON (AP) - Al Gore has
developed a handy hearing problem late
in the campaign. Shout a question and
it just doesn't reach him. Before reports
surfaced of shady money in the Demo-
cratic campaign, he was all ears.
The vice president's Reagan-like
device for avoiding uncomfortable issues
is only the most literal example of ques-
tions getting lost in the wind this elec-
tion.
When the dust settles after Tues-
day, the country will be scarcely closer
to knowing the fate of Social Security,
whether U.S. troops will be in Bosnia
next year, whether the will can be found
to clean up campaign financing, and
more.
Calls for a bipartisan commission,
sometimes paths to a solution, other
times roads to nowhere, have become
another way to set aside choices too com-
plex or sensitive in the campaign.
A look at some unanswered ques-
tions
PARDON ME? A timely "no com-
ment" ended discussion in the first presi-
dential debate of possible presidential par-
dons for President Clinton's Whitewater
associates. Clinton said "I will not give
anyone special treatment" but did not
rule pardons out Bob Dole had no bet-
ter luck in the second debate.
Why does it matter? Republicans say
that by maintaining the option, Clinton
also keeps alive a possible incentive for
people unc.r investigation to avoid giv-
ing damaging testimony against him - if
they have any. No pardon, and possibly
no reason to hold back.
It's also obvious a Democratic ma-
jority in the next Congress would be less
aggressive about investigating Clinton
and those around him.
Questions swirl around the
Whitewater land deal, FBI files found at
the White House, travel office firings and
campaign spending.
CAMPAIGN MONEY: Corporate
and union "soft-money" donations are
pouring into both parties in record
amounts this year. Those party-building
donations are exempt from limits im-
posed after the Watergate scandals, but
central questions about campaign financ-
ing and spedaHnterest money in govern-
ment are going unanswered. Both par-
ties have avoided pushing campaign fi-
nance reform for at least 10 years.
Questionable contributions to the
1996 Democratic campaign have sur-
faced late; foot-dragging on the release
of the party's latest pre-election finan-
cial report could postpone full disclosure
until after the election.
Dole and Clinton have both backed
a commission to study campaign financ-
ing. Indeed, Clinton and House Speaker
Newt Gingrich shook on it 16 months
ago; it didn't happen.
SOCIAL SECURITY: Big ideas are
in play for the long-term solvency of
America's largest benefits program but
they haven't been discussed in the cam-
paign.
Instead, Clinton and Dole both want
a commission to study Social Security
after the election.
Options include raising the retire-
ment age even more than planned, re-
ducing benefits or increasing taxes on
wealthy recipients in future generations,
and investing a portion of contributions
in the stock market where it could earn
a bigger return but face risk.
Clinton and Dole haven't ruled any-
thing out to save the program.
But the implications for modest
sounding changes could be enormous.
For example, shaving the annual
cost of living increase by one percentage
point would result in a loss of $5,000 in
benefits over a decade for the average
retiree.
TAX CUTS: How Dole would pay
for the dramatic tax cuts at the core of
his campaign remains largely unex-
plained. His campaign declined to sub-
mit the plan to the Congressional Bud-
get Office for pre-election analysis.
A combination of strong economic
growth and spending restraint is sup-
posed to cover the $548 billion cost and
enable the budget to be balanced. But
Dole has not been specific on what big
items he would cut
COLLEGE TAX CREDIT: Clinton
would offer students of low and middle
income $1,500 for the first year of uni-
versity or community college, and the
same for the second year if they main-
tain at least a B average and don't get
caught with drugs. Would he ensure
colleges don't raise costs as a result? A
campaign document speaks vaguely of
"challenging" states with high tuition to
lower it Would setting a B average as
the benchmark for second-year aid dis-
tort grading? What teacher would give a
marginal student a C when $1,500 is on
the line?
GAMBLING: Gambling and efforts
to control it have swept the land like a
prairie fire. If gambling has been golden
for local coffers, so has silence on the
issue in the campaign.
Clinton and Dole support a commis-
sion to study gambling. But the dead-
line passed Oct 2 for appointing mem-
bers. Republicans have named a casino
executive, two social conservatives and
a neutral commissioner but Clinton and
congressional Democrats have put off
making their five choices.
Both candidates say gambling is a
local issue. So are municipal youth cur-
fews and school uniforms, just two such
matters commanding attention.

Republican governors have
been a major force behind the char-
ter school movement; Dole sup-
ports the idea as part of a broader
initiative, opposed by Clinton, to
allow parents to choose where their
children attend school.
Dole said he had 138 electoral
votes locked up, but a look at state-
by-state polling suggested he could
bank on perhaps half that heading
into the final week.
Dole's count factors in three
generally reliable Republican presi-
dential states: Texas, Virginia and
Indiana. But polls indicate Clinton
is competitive in ail three, and he
served fresh notice Tuesday he
would fight for them.
Clinton is campaigning in
Texas on Friday and his campaign
this week for the first time pur-
chased television advertising in the
state. Overall, Clinton advisers said
he hoped to outspend Dole by
roughly 2-to-l on television in the
final week.
Clinton entered the stretch to-
ward Election Day next Tuesday en-
joying more than a lead in the polls:
As of Oct. 16, the last filing dead-
line, Clinton had more than $34
million to spend, while Dole had
$19.2 million. Both candidates have
spent a good deal of those funds in
the two weeks since the filing.
A Dole campaign official said
campaign accountants had been
put on notice to carefully track
spending in the final week and
make sure the campaign did not
end in debt. Dole's advertising bud-
get was described by Democratic
and Republicans sources as total-
ing roughly $600,000 to $700,000
a day in the closing week.
Clinton, on the other hand, au-
thorized aides to spend at least
twice that. One aide said Clinton
would spend $1.5 million a day in
the final week; another put the
daily figure closer to $1.2 million.
In Texas, Clinton bought time
in the El Paso and Tyler-Longview
media markets, and Clinton strate-
gists were debating whether to air
spots in the more expensive Hous-
ton market, the campaign and
White House aides said.
Similarly, the aides said
Clinton bought time in Virginia's
Norfolk and Roanoke markets as
part of the campaign's effort to
pressure Dole in traditionally Re-
publican states. One said campaign
polling showed Clinton leading by
seven percentage points in Virginia.
Clinton also resumed advertis-
ing in Indiana. And the Democratic
campaign purchased time in several
states where it had gone off the air
because of giant leads, including
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Washing-
ton. There are competitive congres-
sional contests in those states.
both (Helms and Gantt) saying we
are there to work for you (citizen?.
I am making the example that Sena-
tor Helms hasn't been working for
working families in a long time
During the rally, held prior to
the press conference, Gantt took
aim at Senator Helms.
"Next Tuesday, exactly a week
from now, Jesse Helms will be his-
tory Gantt said.
Gantt also outlined.the role he
hopes, students will play in his elec-
tion.
"There is a lot in this election
that is at stake for students Gantt
said. "I'm expecting students to
carry us over the top in this elec-
tion
Gantt promised to expand Pell
Grants and make student loans
abundant when he offered to make
a deal with voters.
"The deal is this Gantt said.
"If you're smart enough to get
through the school system, and if
you get into East Carolina Univer-
sity, or any other university, you
ought to have the right to pursue
as much education as you can pos-
sibly get. And you ought not be lim-
ited by the size of your parents' in-
come Gantt said.
Gantt told students about
growing up poor, his experiences
in college during the Civil Rights
movement, his work as an architect
and his service as Mayor of Char-
lotte.
Toward the end of the rally,
Gantt answered questions from the
crowd. Gantt responded to a stu-
dent who asked about his position
on gay rights and same-sex mar-
riages by saying he supported the
rights of gays and lesbians but did
not support same-sex marriages.
When asked whether or not he
felt tobacco was a drug. Gantt said
it should not be a regulated drug.
"1 am for protecting the 80,000
people who earn their living by
growing tobacco Gantt said. "But,
I am against youths having access
to smoking
In response to another student
who asked what Gantt would do to
ease racial tensions in the state,
Gantt answered that in every elec-
tion in which he has run. he has
formed a coalition across racial
lines.
"I count as a great accomplish-
ment my ablility to get in the same
room or auditorium every facet of
the Charlotte community in two
hours in cases of emergency Gantt
said.
Gantt ended the rally by en-
dorsing George Parrott, a candidate
running for Representative in the
third district.

Roach said the carnival events had
been augmented by an appearance
by PeeDee the Pirate, which she
said the children loved.
"Two of the little boys kept fol-
lowing him and holding his hand,
begging him to stay just five more
minutes Roach said.
Roach said that the REAP staff
was very happy with the carnival's
success, and that it seemed to fa-
cilitate communication between
parents, and the parents and teach-
ers. Approximately 50?60 people
attended.
"All of the parents that said
they would be able to crme, came,
and siblings and neighbors who
were interested Roach said.
With the positive reception
that this first annual REAP carni-
val enjoyed, Roach said she was
already looking ahead to a second
one.
"It's something I would like to
see happen next year

Joe Norris. network consultant for
Computer Information Systems had
a booth set up with a demo of a new e-
mail system for ECU faculty staff. It
is called Microsoft Exchange, and is
available for Windows 3.1, Windows 95
and Macintosh.
Norris said that they plan to make
the program accessible to staff and fac-
ulty in late January. Students will not
be able to use this new system until
the fall of 97.
Some of the students who at-
tended the fair were very excited about
all the technology that was being
shown. Jeremy Jordan, a sophomore
majoring in computer science, was one
of those students.
"I tuink that it is great that all of
these people are interested in and con-
cerned with staying up with technol-
ogy Jordan sa;d. "Seeing all this gives
me great anticipation to what's to

ceive free autograph books, and
one child will get something more.
"We're getting a treasure chest
and we're going to fill it full of
prizes, and we're going to give that
away to one lucky kid Huffman
said.
The prizes are things like toys,
workbooks and cookies, and all
were donated by the stores at Caro-
lina East Mall.
On Wednesday, the banner con-
test will be held at Mendenhall at
11 a.m. Clubs and organizations
enter their banners, which have to
be at least the size of a double sheet
and can be painted, sewn, or deco-
rated in any way. The winners will
be announced at Piratefest.
Piratefest will be held on Fri-
day at the courtyard outside Men-
denhall. The ECU cheerleaders, The
Pure Gold dancers and The ECU
Gospel Choir will perform, among
others.
There will also be a pep rally
float judging will be conducted at
6 p.m banner winners will be an-
nounced, the homecoming court
will be presented and the Spirit Cup
winner will be announced. There
will be a static fireworks display,
which means they do not shoot up
in the air. but spell out a message.
The Homecoming Committee
will also be collecting canned
goods, which help clubs in their
pursuit of the Spirit Cup.
"When you participate in
events you get points that go to-
ward the Spirit Cup. and when you
bring canned goods you get more
points for the Spirit Cup Huffman
said.
Individuals are encouraged to
bring canned goods also, and can
request that the points from their
donation go to a specific group. The
canned goods are being donat d to
the Salvation Army.
On Saturday, the Homecoming
Parade starts at 10 a.m. The par-
ticipants will line up on 14th Street
and Elm Street, but the parade
route starts when they cross 10th
Street.
"The parade moves down Elm
Street, it takes a left on 5th Street,
passes the Chancellor's house,
takes a right on Reade Street and
ends at the Willis building
Huffman said.
WITN - Channel 7 will be show-
ing the entire parade live, and will
have an area near the Chancellor's
house marked off as the broadcast-
ing area.
The Homecoming Committee
will also be involved in the half-time
show at the game played against Ar-
kansas State that afternoon.
"That's where we have the
pairs step onto the field, we an-
nounce who they are and who
they're representing Huffman
said. "They recognize the Chancel-
lor and this year's SGA President,
last year's Homecoming King and
Queen, and crown the new King
and Queen she said.
The half-time show will be
the last event that the Homecom-
ing Committee will be involved
with, and all the homecoming
events will be concluded with the
end of the game. Huffman said
that she is very excited to see
how all of the committee's events
turn out.
"I think it's so fun, and to
me it's so exciting to watch it all

Our student
fees paid for
the state-of-the-
art recreation
center adjacent
to Mendenhall,
but will we
ever be able to
go inside?
ECU students have seen the promised land of stu-
dent recreation centers, but will we be able to go in?
Four years ago, many ECU students were awak-
ened from their peaceful slumber to the sounds of a
hammering pile driver at 6 a.m. For all who don't
recall, that was the start of the construction of the
new Student Recreation Center beside Mendenhall
Student Center.
You all have heard about its Olympic swimming
pools, juice bars, basketball courts and weight rooms.
You've also heard about the cost through your stu-
dent fees. Hold the music. Cost is not the issue here,
folks. The deal has been signed and sealed; but the
fact is: it hasn't been delivered.
Four years ago, this project was started to give
an activity center to just the students of this cam-
pus, which has everything any student could ever
desire to keep fit. After delays caused by the chang-
ing of contracting companies, the Rec. Center finally
got on track and was expected to open soon. Now,
the opening date of the Rec. Center is more like an
Elvis sighting. You know, that could be it, but don't
get your hopes up. Many times over the students here
at ECU have been told that their new, state of the-art
Recreation Center will be open next month, only to
be delayed another three weeks. When is next month?
Despite the slow process of getting the Center
actually open, we will have to give credit to the ad-
ministration for designing this project just for ECU's
hard working students. If you ever have been to N.C.
State, you'll find they have something very similar,
and they've had it for some time now. At ECU, granted
they serve their purpose, but the facilities we have
now are limited and spread about campus. With this
new facility, students will have a central place to go
for all of their fitness needs .
Some students love free weights for training. They
have free weights. Swimming, they have every pool
imaginable. They also have basketball courts and an
indoor track. Sure, you've seen the bill for all of this
stuff in your student fees bill, but, once again, that's
not the issue.
If you haven't noticed, the Rec. Center has already
been built. It's ready to go, supposedly.
What we want to know is: when will we able to
enjoy it?
Four more years, again?

We are five days from the mo-
ment of truth. There are many im-
portant races, but even the presi-
dential race is small potatoes when
you pit it against the big rematch:
Harvey Gantt versus the "Forrest
Gump" of American politics, Jesse
Helms. Recently, during a debate,
the College Republicans, when
asked about the controversial Sena-
tor, responded, "Well, you know
where he stands
Many students were at the
Gantt rally on campus two days ago.
You know where Gantt stands on
the important issues such as edu-
cation, economic security and the
environment. The purpose of this
opinion column is to let you know
some of the things that Helms has
said.
Helms began his ideological
bomb-throwing in the 60's, as a tele-
vision commentator for WRAL-TV.
He talked about several topics, but
he is best known for his attacks on
the Civil Rights movement. On the
issue of diversity, he memorably
stated that some people "are born
bums
Once elected into the Senate
in 1975, he opposed extension of
the Voting Rights Act in 1975. He
filibustered against continuing fed-
eral legal aid to the poor. When he
tried to kill the Voting Rights Act,
the bill that ensures blacks have the
right to vote, he labeled it as "in-
sulting and degrading" to the
South. He spent an entire month
in 1983 single-handedly blocking

No matter who
you pick, please
go out and vote
this Tuesday; It's
not only your
right, it's your
duty.
the creation of the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Holiday. Dr. King was not
a "communist" as Helms put it and
he was not a thug, as he still im-
plies today. He was the most peace-
loving man who walked on the face
of the Earth. The fact that the rest
of the Republican party supported
the holiday shows how behind the
times this man is.
He opposed the quest to end
Apartheid in South Africa, warning
that liberating South Africa would
result in "violence and everlast-
ing tyranny
This man even voted against the
rest of the entire Senate just a few
years ago, when the Ryan White Act
passed 99-1. He refuses to try to find
a cure for AIDS because of his be-
lief that you must be involved in "im-
moral and unnatural" acts to con-
tract the disease. He voted against
the Republican party again when he
opposed President Bush's brilliant
Educational Excellence Act, because
of his dumb crusade to end all fed-
eral funding for our schools.
I guess you know by now that
he's voted against every single civil
rights initiative that has been laid
before him, and he's even voted
against every Environmental bill
that has come down the pike too
(that's why the League of Conser-
vation Voters has given him a ZERO
rating on environmental issues).
Don't forget that he even threatened
our President in 1994, warning that
"he'd better have a bodyguard" to
visit the state. He also has serious
ethical problems this year. Don't
forget about the Helms family's
cockroach-infested rental properties.
Also, this issue over financial gifts
from foreign governments, as men-
tioned on the front of The East
Carolinian, is one to keep your eyes
on. Where did you get that 3 mil-
lion from. Senator?
Ladies and Gentlemen, the man
Bob Dole dubbed as "the Rambo of
the Geritol generation" has had a
quarter of a century to do his job.
Granted, he's done some good
things for this state. He's also been
kind to many of his constituents.
However, I feel that 24 years is long
enough, and I feel it's time to pick a
positive, issue-oriented candidate
like Harvey Gantt. No matter who
you pick, please go out and vote this
Tuesday: It's not only your right, it's
your duty.
Some people say that I am a weebit
random. Some people get a lifetimes'
worth of practice rolling their eyes when
they read my opinions because they are
different we'll say, from the average,
everyday" 1 hate this or" 1 hate that"
column. To this comment. I say thank
you.
My opinion is that 1 hate to write
about what 1 hate to read about If there
is anything that 1 hate to read about it
is people attempting to portray what
will never be: the honest politician.
MTV, listen up!
The honest politician exists only in
the secret dream world where the Pi-
rates beat Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl
and my yard looks like the Chancellor's.
MTV loves to pretend like there is
a candidate who is worth advocating.
In this world, the honest politician
is not written about in any papers be-
cause people simply assume that what
he or she is doing is good for the world.
They are sent little cards by six-year-old
children in towns all over America, like
Zebulon or Lizard Lick. Inside these
cards are crayon-drawn pictures of the
particular politician standing inside of
a circle of children like Michael Jack-
son. They are handing out puppies and
giving their time to the community that
they serve. Okay, enough of this.
MTV. here I come.
1 do not vote!
Patrick Ware
Opinion Columnist
MTV is here
because of our
lack of apathy.
Please do not attempt to adjust
your set your reading glasses or what-
ever. I am afraid that all of my friends
will now disown me and my driver's li-
cense might even be revoked, even
though 1 haven't had a ticket in over
three years. (I hope I didn't jinx myself.)
Why should I vote? Rock the
Vote- whatever. Please someone write
in and give me one reason that I should
take three hours out of my day to go
and check a little box that says that 1
am a Republican or a Democrat Those
two words now mean almost nothing
because of the particular consensus
that people should vote the issues.
What does that mean?
Anyone who runs for office and
does not come to my house and tell,
me why I should vote for them is not
deserving of my time. Is my message
clear yet? This does not sound like
apathy to me. Does it to you?
There seems to be a thought outj
today that this generation is plagued;
by apathy. I haven't met an apathetic?
person in a very long time. There is.
more passion in this generation than,
there is tobacco in North Carolina. ?
I think that MTV has simply at
tempted to produce this vision of an;
apathetic community that needs aj
place or a silly bus to drive them toj
vote. I am simply offended that MTVJ
would send out a bus to get people to!
vote, and for what?
They want us to vote for nothing
They do not care if people use;
their right to vote. MTV cares about;
MTV and about their image. They have;
fallen too far into the politically cor-f,
rect toilet. They fear if they do not!
maintain their image as the icon for.
correctness that they will cease to.
make the millions that they do when;
our "apathetic" generation hops on;
board their stupid bus.
MTV is here because of our lack;
of apathy. MTV exists because we havej
spent far too much time arguing about!
politics and silly issues that will take!
care of themselves.

Don't believe the hype
To the Editor.
Last week a letter was mailed to
members of the Pirate Club and ECU
football season ticket holders by a
private citizen who criticized Sena-
tor Ed Warren's support for East
Carolina University. To say that Ed
Warren is not a staunch supporter
of ECU is like saying the Pirates are
afraid to play the Tarheels and the
Wolfpack in football-both state-
ments are, in my opinion, absolutely
ludicrous. This latest attack on Sena-
tor Ed Warren is a last-minute, des-
perate campaign tactic by Ed's op-
ponent and his opponent's supporter,
Bill Dansey. and has about as much
credibility as the author of last
week's letter.
Let's look at the facts. Over the
last ten years, while Ed Warren has
served in the North Carolina General
Assembly, ECU has received almost
$78 million in funds to repair exist-
ing buildings and build new ones on
its campus. Some of these projects
include improvements at the School
of Medicine; renovations to Brody
Hall and the Sports Medicine Physi-
cal Education Facility; an addition to
Joyner Library; renovation of Minges
Coliseum: and a major addition to the
Life Sciences Building. In addition,
ECU received $1.7 million in equity
funding this year, which replaces over
half of the university's underfunded
amount. And. over the past 15 years,
ECU's budget has increased by 187
percent. Ed Warren has strongly sup-
ported all of these projects and fund-
ing for ECU.
Ed's opponent would have you
think that he is'a supporter of pub-
lic education, both grade school and
higher education. However, his op-
position to the recent Pitt County
public school bond issue shows his
real position on public education. Yet
he still wants you to believe that he
and his Republican party support
ECU. Let's look at the true Republi-
can position on publicly supported
higher education. The house Repub-
lican budget in 1995 proposed to cut
ECU by over $2 million dollars sic,
or almost 2.5 percent of ECU's total
operating budget. The Democratic
Senate budget in 1995 proposed a
reduction of only .14 percent or
$117,000 dollars sic. The House
budget, had it passed, would have cut
ECU by over $4 million dollars sic
in the first two years and would have
resulted in the loss of 46 faculty po-
sitions.
In all. the budgets proposed by
the Republican House over the pas
two years would have cut the entire
university system by over $115 mil!
lion dollars sic. In contrast, the bud!
gets proposed by the Democratia
Senate over the past two years hav?
contained an increase of almost $4
million dollars sic for our state'?;
public higher education system, in
eluding a 5 percent salary increase;
for faculty instead of the House's 3
percent increase.
Looking at the differences be!
tween the House and Senate bud.
gets, the choice is clear. Ed Warreij
and the Democratic leadership of th?
Senate have supported funding foj
ECU and has protected the campuj
against harsh and unnecessary bud
get cuts proposed by the Republicait
House. Ed's opponent and hi
opponent's party have shown not
only a lack of support for higher edu?
cation in our state, but have propose
budgets which would have torn th?
universities down. Don't be per
suaded by desperate campaign ploys
look at the record of Senator Ed
Warren-the very pages of his record!

and gold. '

a great Halloween. Phi Tail - Be prepared
for a spooky night!
DOWN BY THE DOCKS where the Al-

Emotions still
running high as
second half of
season begins
Amanda Ross
End Zone Co-Editor
Get up!
That's exactly what the ECU players are
doing for Saturday's game against Arkansas
State, (ASU.) Some may wonder why they
may be getting excited for the little known
Indians, but the players will tell you emotion
is an important part of the game plan.
"The emotion is going to stay high
Cornerback Kelvin Suggs said. "We're pumped
up. We have to stay at our level
ECU had an interesting Oct. schedule that
only saw them playing two opponents. But
Nov. provides a twist in the action. Every
weekend in Nov. ECU has a game - starting
with ASU and ending with N.C. State.
Coach Steve Logan knows it is going to
be important for his players to be ready for
every game, no matter how big or how small.
"We're famous for playing at whatever
level shows up Logan said.
The on-again off-again schedule has made
it difficult for the Pirates to get into a steady
game plan.
"We're going to hit a five game stretch
where it would be nice to get going, get up
and get some momentum going Logan said.
Suggs agrees.
"These next five weeks are going to be
tough for us, but at least we get to stay in a
rhythm
Now if you think Logan has let up on his
players in practice after the pounding they
gave Miami, think again. That's not Logan's
style. Just ask Linebacker Carlos Brown.
"This week has been one of the hardest
weeks we have had Brown said. "He (Logan)
ran us hard. He keeps pounding it into our
head that we could easily get beat if we're
not prepared
That is a thought that has been echoed
throughout the week.
"This is a golden opportunity for them-
selves to win a football game Logan said.
When a team overlooks somebody they
think will be an easy win, bad things can hap-
pen. Just ask Miami.
Logan knows not many people would be
willing to place their wagers on ASU, but he
points out this team is nothing to scoff at.
"When they come to play, I don't think
anybody wants to give them much of a chance
to win Logan said. "They have jeen very
competitive over the last two years
When the Indians matched up with SEC
opponent Mississippi last week, they lost 38-
21. The ironic twist is ASU led in most statis-
tical categories including total yardage which
included 341 passing yards.
So if you scoff at the Indians, you might
be premature to think they aren't looking to
come in and knock off ECU during homecom-
ing.
But the Pirates aren't overlooking any
aspect of the game. And neither should the
fans.
From the offense and defense to the spe-
cial teams to the players emotions, the Pi-
rates will look to start a wining trend for the
month of Nov. And a homecoming win to begin
the second half of the season, should send
them on their way to a November to remem-
ber.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear ECU Students:
It b Homecoming week and I hope each of ou are participating in the homecomir.g festivities. The
Student Homecoming Committee has put forth a great effort to provide an exciting week of activities
for you.
Your Pirates are 4-2 coming off a big win against Miami. There can be no let down this Saturday as
your Pirates begin an important five game stretch in November that could propel ECL" to its third
consecutive post season bow 1. A win on Homecoming will be a great start to a successful month.
It is important that the team. fans, and students be focused on Saturday. I encourage you to welcome
your football team to the stadium with more noise than ever before. Be in your seats by 1.40 pm. get
on vour feet for the team entrance, getloud for every third down by the opposing team, and cheer
for your fellow students on the football team until the final buzzer. Make so much noise you can be
heard in Charlotte!
Let's make it a fun-filled homecoming full of purple and gold enthusiasm. Have a great time Saturday
while being responsible in your actions before, during and after the game.
It's a great feeling when the Pirates are about to win to hear the Hey. Hey. ECYou Look So Good
To Me" cheer at the end of ball games. Filling the stands early. and making noise through to the final
hom create a spirited home field advantage that gies your team the best opportunity to win.
Gel loud and be proud!
Sinccrelv.

Suggs steps up performances during games
Dill Dillard
Assistant End Zone Editor
On Sunday morning after the huge 31-
6 victory against Miami in the Orange bowl,
subscribers to the Miami Herald were greeted
with a picture of ECU cornerback Kelvin
Suggs intercepting a pass from Yatil Green.
"I saw the picture, and it makes you
feel good to get recognized for hard work,
but the next game is coming up, and I've
got get ready to do it again Suggs said.
After the injury to expected starting de-
fensive back Dwight Henry at the beginning
of the season, many speculated how the rest
of the secondary would react to the absence
of the three year letterman. The answer
The Pirates had to adjust to not having the
speedy DB, but they answered a lot of ques-
tions nationally by stopping a potent receiv-
ing corps down in Miami.
One of the key standouts in the second-
ary to help this effort was a huge night from
Suggs.
The Kinston native had two broken up
passes to go along with an interception and
a broken up pass that could have won the
ballgame.
"We were surprised to see how well ev-
erything was clicking Suggs said. "We knew
we could do it, it was a matter of actually
taking what we did in practice to the feild
That they did. Despite the Hurricane
touchdown scored on the game's opening
drive, the Pirate defense put a lock and key
on the end zone as well as the up rights for
the remainder of the game. Every time the
Miami offense would threaten, the Bucs
would find a way to keep them off the score
board.
A huge play in the game came at the
time where ECU had Miami on their heels,
but they still moved the ball, and on a fourth
down situation in the red zone, Suggs made
another mark in the Orange Bowl. Hurricane
tight end Chris Jones broke towards the
endzone and appeared to be open, but the
out reaching arm of Suggs batted away the
strike to break the backs of the Hurricanes.
"I mean these are the games that you
dream about when you're a kid Suggs said.
"Going to a place like the Orange Bowl, with
nobody giving you a chance to win and you
go shut them down. It's a qood feeling
Suggs, a redshirt sophomore, came into
this season with big several big games al-
ready under his belt, including a huge Lib-
erty Bowl last season, coming off the bench.
Against the Cardinal, Suggs had three solo
tackles alone with a key interception in the
third quarter to help the Pirates bring home
the bell from Memphis.
Coming out of the '95
campaign, Suggs was ex-
pected to be the number
one corner off the bench
but fate had other plans.
Suggs saw plenty of play-
ing time in his freshman
year, along with becoming
one of the team's top tack-
le rs on special teams. So,
Suggs, to say the least, was
not without experience. The
injury mentioned earlier to
Henry, along with a juggle
in the line up put Suggs as
the starting CB for the Buc
defense.
"I've always just took
advantage of any of the op-
portunities to contribute
that I was given Suggs
said. "I'm just trying to im-
prove as a football player,
game by game
If the improvements
continue for this sensational
sophomore, the future looks
secure for the Pirate sec-
ondary.

Kelvin
Suggs has
recorded
18 total
tackles,

Though you may be aware of East

Carolinian and The Rebel, did you
know that there's a radio station, too?
Yes, WZMB 91.3 sends its signal out
every day from the basement of our
very own Mendenhall student center.
Playing an eclectic mix of music
WZMB provides a welcome change for
those who have had their fill of clas-
sic rock and Top 40 music.
Since WZMB is first and foremost
a student radio station, listeners are
encouraged to call in and make re-
quests at any time. Due to its limited
range, a request to WZMB doesn't
have to wait in line with hundreds of
other requests and can usually get
played in a matter of minutes. In fact,
most requests I've ever heard made

WZMB is not only the source for
truly alternative music, it also offers
16 different specialty shows that vary
greatly in content The specialty shows
on WZMB offer something for nearly
every college-aged rock fan out there.
One of the newer shows is an in-

tracks with comedic spice. Since the
Attic becomes the Comedy Zone on
Wednesday nights, the surf show of-

night. This allows listeners to get an
insight into what the Comedy Zone
will be like that night while providing

Horror takes back seat on trip down Green Mile

Oh my God! 1 don't know who is in
charge at Strangelove Records, but who-
ever came up with the brilliant idea of
releasing the soundtrack to the film Orgy
of the Dead deserves a big raise.
This film, released in 1965, was one
of the last films that the infamous Ed
Wood was involved with and it bears his
indelible mark. Although he didn't direct
this wonderfully horrendous mess. Wood
wrote the screenplay adaptation from his
novel of the same name (it must have
been an extremely short novel, too, be-
cause there are only about 20 lines of
dialogue in the entire film).
The biggest "star" in the film is that

Writer and director Jess Franco
Manera, known simply as Jess
Franco, has over 160 films to his
credit and yet almost no one in the
States ha? ever heard of him. Born
in Spain. Franco has worked all over
the world and was condemned by
the Vatican in the 70s as one of the
most dangerous filmmakers ever.
Mostly Franco carved a name
for himself with his admittedly B-
movie quicUes that were over-
whelmed with a sort of sexy surre-
alism. He always worked at a break-
neck pace, once completing 13 films
in one year. Yet all of his films,

Stephen King has never been a
great writer. He's come close, in short
pieces like "Rita Hayworth and the
Shawshank Redemption" and even in
one novel, his multi-layered Misery.
But most of the time, King is merely
effective; he might be able to make
you sweat with fear, but seldom does
he make you think. In his recently-
completed serial novel The Green
MilA however, Stephen King has suc-
ceeded in doing both.
Published in six monthly install-
ments, this novel returns King to two
things he handles very well: prisons
and life in the middle part of the 20th
Century. Set on Death Row at the fic-
tional Cold Mountain Penitentiary in
1932, Green Mile is the story of the
custodians of Cold Mountain's elec-
tric chair and the one prisoner who
didn't deserve its crackling embrace.
That prisoner is John Coffey. a
large, mildly-retarded black man who
is convicted of the brutal rapemur-
der of two young white girls. But Paul
Edgecombe, narrator and guard fore-
man on the Green Mile (the nickname
of Cold Mountain's Death Row
celiblock), sees Coffey's essentially
non-violent nature and doubts his
guilt When Edgecombe discovers that
the prisoner has the healing touch of
a saint he is convinced of Coffey's
innocence and the story really takes
off.
Though less overtly horrific than
much of King's work, Green Mile still
offers plenty of tension, as well as
scenes that will keep your nightmares
fueled for days. Edgecombe's account
of the night John Coffey was arrested
is tense, gripping stuff. Following a
trail of blood with hunting dogs, the
father of the two dead girls and a
small posse of farmers discovers
Coffey kneeling by the side of the
river, weeping and cradling the two
bloody, naked children in his arms.
This sequence is King at his ef-
fective best I found myself obsessively

in The plot begins with unlucky hor-

good horror story They end up crash-

selves in Criswell's domain. In order to
horrify the easily intimidated couple.
Criswell promises to show them how "the

Now all of that may seem like the
makings for a good horror flick. But then
Ed Wood gets involved and what starts
out as a schlocky B-movie becomes some-
thing much, much worse. The night of
horror that the Lord of the Dead shows
us is an hour and fifteen minutes of strip-
pers. That's right I said strippers. If you
want to scare the wits out of someone,
nothing does it better than strippers.
If the film is so bad, then why does
the soundtrack deserve the highest grade
possible, you may ask. The soundtrack
consists mostly of the music to which
the strippers do their thing interspersed
with the dialogue of the entire film, and
these become the focus of attention

The East Village has entertaining

tertainment with mild patheticness.
Should this be my new life's pur-
suit? Probably not
As I tried to check on The East Vil-
lage daily for the past few weeks, I have
found it can be time consuming and of-
ten frustrating This was sometimes due
to a busy web, but it was also due to the
incredible amount of stuff that is on the
site.
I must also warn prospective visi-
tors to The East Village that they should
be leery of who is around when they pull
the site up. On my first trip, I happened
to pull up that day's episode and be
greeted with the aforementioned menage
a trois. While all you could really see was
blurry, tangled bodies, the persons
around me nonetheless shot pervert
darts out of their eyes at me.
Another time, old Owen and Lila
were going at it and several "What are
you looking ats" where shouted my way.
"I swear, I'm doing it for the paper I
would say. They didn't believe me.

mit last week I was a visitor to the Schlitz

day, 1 visited a site where a hot debate
was ensuing over who would win in a
fight between Gary Coleman and
Webster. I did feel better, however, when
I noticed that this site's address origi-
nated from Cornell University - those

?'description of the pain of a bladder
infection in part three, King delivers
"the punch his fans expect, and he
c does it with just a collection of inter-
esting characters and odd situations.
But with Coffey's healing touch,
The Green Mile also offers horror
?ians a touch of the supernatural. No
?explanation is given for the
Jjjrisoner's powers; Edgecombe be-
Jjjieves it to be divinely inspired. But
when Coffey is done healing some-
one and then suddenly coughs up a
plague of locusts, we can at least be
assured that something spooky is
going on.
Still, at the center of The Green
Mile is its intriguing moral dilemma.
This is where King, amidst a foun-
tain of Christ imagery and other Bib-
lical symbolism, really challenges his
readers. What, after all. would you
do if you were set to execute a man
that you thought was touched by the
hand of God? This is the dilemma
Paul Edgecombe must face, and as
the story unfolds and the religious
significance piles up, his decision
becomes more and more difficult.
Of course, to find out what he
finally does decide, you'll have to
read the book yourself. What do you

rather than the cheesy sets and bad act-
ing. It is the combination of dialogue and
music that elevates this soundtrack to a
work of art
The album becomes a brilliant piece
of surrealist expression with tracks like
"A Pussycat is Born to be Whipped"
where Criswell speaks the lines, "It will
please me very much to see the slave
girl with her tortures Torture! Torture!
It pleasures me laid over a instrumen-
tal of happy piano tinkling and intercut
with whacking sounds. The record in-
spires awe and is extremely funny.
I doubt if the creators of this
soundtrack realized what they had made,
but they should be commended for their
work. As much as current bands like King
Missile, The Residents, and Primus and
film directors such as David Lynch and
Oliver Stone think that they are on the
cutting edge of absurdist imagination,
they can't hold a candle to what Ed Wood
and his colleagues produced 30 years
ago.

Freaks-Todd Browning's 1932
tour de force was so unsettling that
it was banned for 50 years after its
initial release. The film, which cen-
ters around the bizarre relationships
between a group of sideshow freaks,
featured real-life "freaks which is
the probably the main reason the
public was so disturbed by it. View-
ers are privy to such human "abnor-
malities" as a man and a woman who
both look exactly like infant babies;
a man born with no torso; and
We don't know how to describe her.
You'll just have to see the movie.
Repulsion - In this shockingly
unnerving film from director Roman
Polanski, Catherine Deneuve plays
a young fashion model type who is
much more disturbed than her out-
ward appearance would suggest.
Deneuve is wickedly innocent as she
seduces the camera into following
her day-to-day life. Deceptively pleas-
ant at first, this film truly earns its

title in the end.
Last Man on Earth - This end
of-civilization-as-we-know-it film was
based on Richard Matheson's superb
pseudo-vampiric novel am Legend.
(Matheson's novel also served as the
basis for Charlton Heston's film The
Omega Man.) In the title role,
Vincent Price gives one of his fin-
est performances as a man who finds
himself to be the only human being
left in a world full of vampire-zom-
bies. Desperate, depressing and
claustrophobic, this film should be
considered an essential part of any
horror fan's must-see list.
Scream, Blacula, Scream -
Blaxploitation queen Pam Grier
stars as the only person who can slay
the vampire in this sequel to
Blacula. At the time that Blacula
first appeared, blaxploitation films
.and Hammer horror films were both
going strong and someone had the
bright idea to combine the two. Al-
though it may seem to some that
the genres are incompatible. Blacula
was truly a success. However,
Scream, Blacula, Scream ended up
eclipsing its predecessor in both plot
and characterization.
Young Frankenstein - Director
Mel Brooks is at his comedic best in
this spoof of early horror films. The
cast, comprised of Gene Wilder, Terri
Garr. Peter Boyle and the wide-eyed
Marty Feldman, hit mark after hi-
larious mark as they lift the entire
horror genre to another level with
their satire.
Phantasm - A cheesy mixture
of '70s high school pothead movies
an surrealist horror. Phantasm
comes off as a poor man's Lin Chien
Andalou. Angus Scrimm is intensely
threatening as the Tall Man and his
team of undead jawas are absurd,
frightening and laughable all at the
same time. Phantasm cr'eepily runs
the edge between reality and night-
mare better than any Freddy
Kreuger movie ever will.
Creepshow - We know that
most of the critical community
thinks this film should be flushed
down a very deep toilet, but we love
this collection of cartoonish horror
stories. The entire film is a moving
comic book, just like those horror
comics we read as children. The di-
rection and acting is campy, but that
makes this horror treat all the more
colorful. Creepshow is one of the
very few Stephen King films that
works.
John Carpenter's The Thing -
Released the same year as
Creepshow, this remake of the 1951
classic also does not get the respect
it deserves. This is vintage Carpen-
ter, perfectly exemplifying the tal-
ent he once had. The entire film is
over the top and ludicrous. Kurt
Russell stars as the leader of a sci-
entific team that is trapped in an
artic snowstorm with a menacing
alien that can take the shape of any
living creature. Not for the squea-
mish.
Near Dark - A vampire flick
with a nasty edge. What makes this
film stand out is the simple fact that
the vampires are a group of ren-
egade rednecks reeking violence
across the western wasteland. This
is the only vampire film we have ever
seen where a bloodsucker complains
about the fact that his victim haso t
shaved. ?
Henry: Portrait of a Serial
Killer - Filmed documentary style,
Henry serves as a damning commen-
tary on the state of violence in
America today. One of the best and
most graphic serial killer films ever
made, it is definitely not for the faint
of heart. Try to avoid eating before
seeing this movie. Seriously.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?
Even though director Kenneth
Branagh takes liberties with
Shelley's novel, this horrifying ad-
aptation is one of the most faithful
we have ever seen. A bit melodra-
matic at points, but still very effec-
tive. Robert De Niro is simply won-
derful as thp tortured creature who
seeks vengeance on his creator.
Branagh's vision of the story is trujy
shocking as Frankenstein's worjd
spirals down into a hellish night-
mare, i
Seven - This is the most recent
example of horror at its best. The f ikn
focuses on the idea of modern hor-
ror in a brutally honest manner as
two detectives (played by Brad Pitt
and Morgan Freeman) track down, a
serial killer who kills according to the
seven deadly sins of the Bible. Filled
with top-notch direction, stunning
cinematography, well-developed char
acters and superior acting. Seven
hopefully will someday become pat
of the horror canon. ,
Well there you have it. We highly
recommend not watching these films
all at one sitting. If you do, then you
need help.

whether they be action, horror, west-
ern or musical, have a distinct
Franconess about them.
The cinematic genius Orson
Welles was so impressed with
Franco that he hired him to be an
assistant on Chimes at Midnight.
Filled with influences as diverse as
jazz, comic books and Cubist art.
Franco made what many have de-
scribed as bad films made by very
intelligent people.
The music that appears in his
movies has some of the same char- .
acteristics. This album contains por-
tions of the soundtracks to three of
Franco's films, Vampyros Lesbos
(Lesbian Vampires), Sie Totete in
Ekstase (Mrs. Hyde. She Kills in
Ecstasy) and Der Teufel Kam Aus
Akasava (The Devil Came from
Akasava), all of which were scored
by the team of Manfred Hubler and
Siegfried Schwab.
Originally released on record al-
bums entitled Psychedelic Dance
Party and Sexadelic. the instrumen-
tal disc includes tracks called "The
Lions and the Cucumber
"Necromania" and "Kamasutra all
of which should give you some indi-
cation of how it sounds. It's a sweet
and sexy treat for any discerning lis-
tener.
At first, the music comes across
as some bass & piano-driven jazz
funk mix. but when the horns cut in
it begins to sound like every porno
soundtrack from the '70s. Yet the
music has an irresistible pull and be-
fore long you'll find yourself tapping
your feet and moving your hips to
the groovy sounds. Everything from
the late '60s and early '70s seems to
be thrown into this music. Fat Albert
here, Streets of San Francisco there.
Beatles on the left speaker. Sly and
the Family Stone on the right.
Out of this amazing hodge
podge of cultural influences comes
a spooky kind of consistency. With-
out even seeing a Jess Franco film,
you can easily imagine how one
would play itself out by listening to
the music.
Just as Franco himself is a com-
plex creative individual, so the mu-
sic of his films is diverse and multi-
dimensional as well. Would that more
films and more music were this un-
conventional. Perhaps with time
Franco's influence will have the im-
pact and get the recognition it de-
serves. Until then, this soundtrack
will be on constant rotation in my
CD player.

the Pirate Talk and Insight shows, as
well as a Grateful Dead show. The
Grateful Dead show includes rare live
tracks from various bootlegs and im-
ports that make the show a must for
any Deadhead.
Thursday's line-up includes the
ever popular Roots Rock show and a
show highlighting British music. Al-
though the content of these shows
may seem to be self-explanatory, the
neat thing about them is that you get
less mainstream artists and more un-
signed, independent artists on WZMB.
In comparison to other radio stations,
WZMB gives listeners more of a jump
on the next mainstream big artist The
station also allows a sneak peak at
the sound of many bands who come
to the Attic or Peasant's Cafe down-
town. Instead of possibly throwing
away money on a band you've never
heard, you can listen to WZMB and
find out what they sound like first for
free.
One of the biggest days for
WZMB listeners is Friday. At 1 p.m
the Friday Request Fest goes into ef-
fect and lasts until 6 p.m. at which
point the Top 25 show takes over.
Then at 8 p.m it's flashback time with
the Retro show. The Retro show lasts
until 2 a.m. and features mostly re-
quests from listeners who are often
at parties, out driving around, or just
reliving part of their youth. Different
from the retro shows found on hit
radio stations. WZMB's Retro show
plays more obscure songs from the
'70s and '80s.
Ranging from Night Ranger's
"Sister Christian" to Nucleus' "Jam On
It all the way to favorites like Dexy's
Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen
Modern English's "I Melt With You
and "Mickey" by Toni Basil, the retro
show plays something for everyone
who wants to stroll down the road that
was their musical childhood. However,
the Retro show can also give you an
opportunity to hear songs not avail-
able anywhere else.
A prime example is "Mickey" by
Toni Basil. Most people instantly know
"Mickey" and happily sing along, but
WZMB can throw a curve if you're not
careful. WZMB has a version of
"Mickey" with Basil singing every-
thing in Spanish. Don't ever expect
to hear this version on you favorite
Top 40 station, but on WZMB it's
readily available.
Some of the most eclectic music
can be heard on weekend mornings
which are filled with a Jazz show as
well as Crossover and World Music
features. However. Saturdays and Sun-
days on WZMB consist mostly of the
Reggae and Club 91 shows which run
from noon until midnight. Both shows
each run six hours in length. Late
Saturday night listeners can tune into
techno and industrial music on the
Steel Trax show and the fast and
heavy Metal show from 1-6 a.m.
So, no matter what your tastes
are, WZMB probably offers something
to your liking. Even if nothing in-
stantly jumps out at you, next time
you're screaming in frustration at the
lack of musical choices on the Green-
ville radio dial, flip to 91.3 for a few
minutes. The sound coming out of
your speakers might just surprise you.

The East Carolinian
GDADTC
Swimmer dedicated
and focused for season
Team hosts CAA
conference meet
David Councilman
Sports Writer
College is a time for fun, party-
ing, and the most important element
of all college life is an education. For
some, there is the commitment of
sports that sometimes interferes with
the fun of being a college student
These people have to sacrifice in or-
der to excel, and Amanda Atkinson,
a junior on the Pirate womens swim
team has done just that.
Atkinson, just like the rest of her
teammates, puts in long hours in the
gym as well as the pool, to make the
womens swim team the winner that
it is.
"On Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday we do dry land, which con-
sists of weight lifting, and on
Tuesday's and Thursday's we do sit-
ups Atkinson, said.
For Atkinson the road to ECU
was easy to find. Her sister Rachel
Atkinson, was also a swimmer at
ECU. Although her sister swam here,
she soon found out that swimming
in college was a bit different from
swimming in high school. She found
that she was a bit intimidated when
she first started, but she soon real-
ized that the team was like a family,
and everybody there would help each
other out
"Practices were harder, it was a
big change from high school
Atkinson said.
Although the practices are hard
they are also fun, afternoon practices
are not as bad as morning practices.
"The hardest part of morning
practices is jumping into the water,
it is so cold in the morning Atkinson
said 1 never had morning practices
in high school, but it does wake a
person up
For Atkinson there are times
when she would just like to be a nor-
mal college student but, for the most
part swimming is a lot of fun, it is a
good motivational tool. There are
times when Atkinson would like to
come in from class and take it easy,
but she knows she has to keep her
priorities in order.
"Swimming keeps me in line
Atkinson said
With Atkinson's sister being a
swimmer here, she was able to see
what ECU swimming was all about
Head swim coach Rick Kobe re-
cruited her first and he went on to
become almost like a second father
to her. She knows that if anything
was to ever come up, that if she did

swimmers to their third consecutive CAA Conference title.
not have anybody else to turn to.
Coach Kobe will be there for her, with
the absence of her real father at
school, Coach Kobe performs those
duties when needed.
Her parents, just like the rest of
the swim team parents are very sup-
portive. They go to all the meets, and
after the American swim meet on Sat-
urday, the team was able to get a
good homecooked meal from her
parents.
"Although my father knows little
about swimming, he is still very sup-
portive. My parents never pressured
me to be a swimmer Atkinson said.
One would think that Atkinson
only has time for swimming, and it is
big part of her life, but she is a nor-
mal college student, just like every-
body else here at ECU. She has her
likes and dislikes. Some of the things
that she likes to do most is hang out
with her friends, watch movies and,
whenever she can, she likes to sleep
a lot.
The biggest influence on
Atkinson has been her sister. Even-
tually, she said, she would like to
work with her sister. Atkinson never
had the opportunity in high school
to swim with her sister, so when she
came to ECU as a freshman she fi-
nally got that opportunity.
To say that Atkinson is a team
player is very true, one of her goals
for the season is that her teammates
will be able to capture a third CAA
title and she does have personal goals
as well.
"The biggest goal I have is that
I place in the top three in the confer-
ence and I would like to get the var-
sity record for the 100 and 200 back-
stroke Atkinson said.
All the hard work that Atkinson
has put in is seemingly starting to
pay off, at the Pirates' first meet of
the year at American University she
had a great meet.
"Amanda swam great Kobe
said.
So, Pirates, look for Atkinson to
be one of the stars for the ECU swim
team throughout the year.
Excitement has been brewing in
ECU's Scales field house, especially
in the cross country offices, with
thoughts of hosting the CAA Cross
Country Championships in just a few
days.
The site of the race will be the
cross country course at Lake Kristi
Park in Greenville. This, as most
people may remember, was the site of
the 1996 U.S. Open Ski Champion-
ships and now the park will host the
battle for the CAA crown.
This "ear, cross country fans here
in Greenville can look forward to an
intense battle for the crown with the
usual powerhouses. James Madison
and V'illiam and Mary, but don't for-
get the host team.
For years, the CAA conference
meet was held in Williamsburg, Va. at
the home course for the Tribe of Wil-
liam and Mary.
"The conference was starting to
get tired of traveling up to Virginia
every year, but politics had a lot to do
with that" Women's Coach Choo Jus-
tice said.
After long talks, conference offi-
cials decided to start rotating the meet
throughout the conference and ECU
came up first for the rotation.
Running on their home course
will give the Bucs an advantage when
it comes to the knowledge of the
course's nooks and crannies, not to
mention the emotional lift it will give
a building program, running in front
of ECU fans on the weekend of home-
coming.
"The guys' team will be especially
pumped up for this one, but the girls
are laid back about the situation, but
they're still excited about the situa-
tion Justice said.
ECU's men will have to be
pumped up to stop another powerful
William and Mary team, which will be
defending its title from last season.
Sophomore Jeremy Coleman will try
to improve on last year's 27th place
finish in last year's meet, which was
good enough for him to be the top
Pirate finisher.
Other runners that may catch the
crowd's attention will be transfer An-
drew Worth, and Jamie Mance, as well
as Justin England.
"This is an improved guys' team,
and they're ready to make some noise
on Saturday Justice said.
The womens race will be a dog
fight as it was last season with James
Madison leading the way, but the
Dukes have cause for caution.
"James Madison always has a
strong team, but if they aren't care-
ful, George Mason could slip in and
take it" Justice said.
The Lady Pirates will be coming
into the meet as a dangerous team,
finishing fourth in last season's CAA's
with returning runners such as CAA
Rookie- of-the- Year Suzanne Bellamy.
The excitement is building and
preparations are being made for
Saturday's race.
"That's the only problem with
being the host" Justice said. "You
have to do so much to put on the race;
you have to divert your attention away
from the team the week of the meet"
The meet will be held at Lake
Kristi on Saturday, beginning with the
women's race at 10 am.

Panthers hunt for playoff spot
CHARLOTTE (AP) - Midway
through their second season, the
Carolina Panthers are in position
to make a run at the playoffs.
They're also in position to take a
tumble.
The Panthers go into Sunday's
game in Atlanta against the Falcons
with a 5-3 record. A similar mark
in the second half of the season
could land Carolina in the
postseason.
But there are several warning
signs, most significantly the Pan-
thers' inability to execute on the
road.
Carolina is 3-9 away from
home, including 1-3 this season.
The most recent loss, 20-9 Sunday
in Philadelphia, began a stretch in
which the Panthers play five of
seven on the road.
Carolina has just two rushing
touchdowns on the road in the 1
12-year history of the franchise
and is constantly plagued by prob-
lems with penalties and turnovers.
The Panthers' defense, which has
been impressive at home, also runs
into trouble on the road, as evi-
denced by Ty Detmer, a career
backup quarterback in the NFL,
throwing for 342 yards Sunday.
Cornerback Eric Davis, who
joined Carolina in the offseason af-
ter spending his first six years with
San Francisco, said the Panthers
need to develop a different mind set
on the road.
'You guys don't understand the
power and enjoyment you feel when
you see 60,000 or 70,000 or 80,000
people out there screaming, yelling,
hating you, and you make a play
and they all just get quiet Davis
told reporters. "And you know you
just did that. It's a great feeling
Road woes aren't the Panthers'
only obstacle.
Carolina has failed to reach the
20-point plateau in three of its last
five games, including Sunday's
three field-goal performance.
The Panthers are 0-7 when
they have more turnovers than
takeaways.
And Carolina needs to start
winning outside the NFC West. The
Panthers are 5-0 in the division this
year and 0-3 outside of it. Five of
their remaining games are against
non-NFC West teams.
Tight end Wesley Walls said
much of the blame for the Pan-
thers' troubles in the first half of
the season can fall on the offense.
"Our defense right now could
stand over there and point fingers
at us all day long he said. "But
we're pulling for each other. Every-

Injured Cox out for Sunday's game
LAKE FOREST, 111. (AP) -
Bryan Cox's thumb is broken in
three places, but he said today he's
changing the date for surgery and
plans to play Sunday against Tampa
Bay.
The surgery he expected to
have Friday, which would have
forced him out of Sunday's game,
will now take place Monday. After
consultations with numerous spe-
cialists, he decided to give it a try
against the Buccaneers. Doctors
approved of his decision.
Cox broke the bone at the base
of his left thumb in the third quar-
ter of Monday night's win in Min-

"It didn't hinder me from mak-
ing plays in that game, so that gives
me reason to believe 1 can play with
this type of injury this week Cox
said.
He added that surgery was still
necessary so the bone wouldn't
heal incorrectly.
"I guess there is probably a
danger of doing some more dam-
age he said. We are going to
get a special cast made up and try
to play with it, so I don't see any
reason where there should be any
more damage
Earlier Tuesday. Bears trainer
Fred Caito said the normal healing
time for any fracture is 4-6 weeks.
Football players, however, have
been known to take the field with
broken bones protected by casts or
splints.
Cox said an assessment will be
made after surgery on how long he
will be out.
Cox remained in Monday
night's game and made a crucial
play, sacking Brad Johnson to force
a fumble and then recovering the
football at the Bears' 35-yard line
with 1:47 to go.
"It's my decision. My wife
wasn't very happy and my agent is
not really happy with it Cox said.
"I just feel now is the time for the
team to make strides in the right
direction and I want to be out there
playing.
"As long as I can continue to
hit people and not worry about if
my hand is going to hurt. 1 should
be fine
The linebacker also has been
bothered by shoulder and back
problems, and he came under fire
for criticizing teammates after a
game earlier this season.
With the things that have hap-
pened to me. I feel fortunate and
blessed that I'm still standing he
said. "You can only play through
so much.
"My wife was worried about
the lingering effect this would have
after my career. The position of the
break is potentially dangerous. I
could lose the use of my thumb
Cox's injury is just another in
a series that the Bears have had to
endure.
Quarterback Erik Kramer
made it through only four games
before two herniated discs in his
neck ended his season. Backup QB
Steve Stenstrom, tight end Chris
Gedney and defensive tackle Chris
Zorich also are out for tht year.
The list of Bears to miss games
includes: running backs Rashaan
Salaam. Raymont Harris and Rob-
ert Green: tight end Keith Jennings:
cornerbacks Donnell Woolford and
Walt Harris; defensive tackle Jim
Flanigan; guard Todd Burger, and
receiver Michael Timpson.
Several injured players - in-
cluding Raymont and Walt Harris.
Woolford and Flanigan - returned
for Monday's victory, which im-
proved Chicago's record to 3-5 and
gave the team cause for optimism
about the second half. .
A middle linebacker who
switches to defensive end on pass-
ing downs. Cox leads the Bears with
three sacks and three fumble recov-
eries. He also is tied with Marty
Carter in tackles. 89.
The season has been frustrat-
ing for Cox, who was signed to a
four-year. $13.2 million contract af-
ter five successful but tumultuous
seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
The Bears, expected to contend
for the NFC Central title, kept los-
ing games. And the fiery Cox lost
his composure during and after an
Oct. 6 loss to Green Bay.
During the game, he raised his
middle finger to on-field officials.
cursed repeatedly, threw his helmet
and stood in the end zone,
helmetless, during a Packers extra-
point attempt. He later was fined
$87,500 by the NFL.
Also injured against the Vi-
kings was nickel back Kevin
Miniefield. who is expected to miss
about a month with torn knee car-
tilage. Miniefield. who blocked a
punt for a safety in the game, was
scheduled to undergo arthroscopic
surgery today.

As for the Panthers' positives,
they are allowing opponents to
score an average of 13.9 points per
game, the second-lowest figure in
the league.
Carolina also is developing a
reputation for late-game toughness,
outscoring opponents 36-13 in the
fourth quarter.
The Panthers have been penal-
ized fewer times than their oppo-
nents in all eight games.
The Panthers' special teams
are emerging into one of the best
groups in the league, and their
rushing game has bounced back
nicely after losing halfback
Tshimanga Biakabutuka, Carolina's
No. 1 draft pick, to a season-end-

Carolina has five games left
(against losing teams: the Falcons
