Gastonia Police said the gunmen were firing .22 caliber bullets at the crowd. Police still had not caught the gunmen on Tuesday, but parents of the children playing soccer said they had taunted the crowd before flee- ing prior to police arriving. NEW BERN, N.C.

Jurors on Tuesday found Dushawn Gardner, Barkley Gardner, Bernard Troy Celestine and Randolf Moore guilty of 30 charges, ranging from racketeering to carjacking and murder. The men all face possible federal life sentences without parole, The Herald-Sun of Durham reported today. Across The Country SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Ahhh.

Volunteering a strong program on campus Students give 60,000 hours to organizations Erika Swarts Staff Writer Last month the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was ranked one of the top volunteer schools in the coun- try, but as far as the number of student volunteers goes, ECU tops Carolina with over 7,000. The two main groups which helped Carolina receive their ranking were the Student Environmental Action Coali- tion (SEAC) and their National Student Coalition for Action in Literacy (SCAL). ECU also has a volunteer program which places student volunteers into organizations throughout Pitt County. One organization that receives as- sistance from student volunteers is the Literacy Volunteers of America-Pitt County. Student volunteers help with the annual corporate spelling bee. "You really cannot compare the two (programs) Volunteer Director Judy Baker said. "We are about answer- ing the needs of the community, regard- less of who or what it is for. However, air level of volunteer work shouid be commended, but our main objective is the community Baker feels that volunteer work is the most important thing a student can do. It helps them find out what is go- ing on in the community. It also coun- teracts the emphasis that is placed on bad press. "People are more interested in the fights Baker said. "Our students are marvelous. Most of the community or- ganizations rely on our volunteers for fund-raising and other programs The program is expanding. In 1989 they worked with eight agencies. To- day, they work with 60 agencies, com- piling over 60,000 hours of volunteer See VOL page 2 Corporation welcomes female science majors GlaxoWellcome offers scholarships, mentors Jacqueline D. Keilum ��t� lif n DQMOr rwmSf Two ECU female students are cur- rently participating in a program spon- sored by Glaxo Wellcome, which provides them with scholarships and pairs them with mentors in their field. This program also provides a $25,000 endowment to the school This program is specifically geared toward female students in science ma- jors. The objective of this scholars pro- gram is to encourage women to pursue scientific careers. The two ECU recipi- ents are Braden Boone and Nikki Noren. "Ifs basically just to glorify women in science and make sure that women know there are other women out there that are pursuing careers in science, and that ifs possible, and to encourage it Noren said. Nancy Pekarek, manager of Corpo- rate Communications at Glaxo Wellcome, said that the program began with a former chief executive officer, Dr. Charles A. Sanders. He was concerned that women did not seem to be going into science careers in significant numbers. "Women do not go into the sci- ences in the same percentages that men do, and that means we are losing out on a lot of tal- ent Pekarek said. So in 1993, Glaxo Wellcome started this pro- gram, which not only provides finan- cial support to fe- male science stu- dents, but also pairs each student with a mentor who is there to help however she can. Noren said that her mentor, Dr. Chris Boytos, was in the cancer biology department at GlaxoWellcome and had been very helpful. "She's trying to help me grow as a student If I have any questions about how I want to pursue the path that I'm going to pursue, I can ask her Noren said. All of the mentors are employees at Glaxo Wellcome, and according to Pekarek, had responded well to the op- portunity to be mentors. "The men- tors are volun- teers. It's an in- credibly popular program. We have more volunteers that we have stu- dents Pekarek said. Both Noren and Pekarek both said that they felt the mentor pro- gram set this scholarship apart from others. "It's good for every person in school, either ��������� jg or fernaje to have a role model that's outside the edu- cation perspective of it, that you can look to and ask questions pertaining to what you're going through Noren said. Pekarek said the mentor program had been so successful that she knew of some students and mentors who stayed in touch after the students graduated. She said the employees seemed to enjoy the chance to influence the future scien- See WOMEN page 2 "Women do not go into the sciences in the same percentages that men do, and that means we are losing out on a lot of talent � Nancy Pekarek, manager of Corporate Communications at GlaxoWelcome Criminal justice students honored N.C. Police Corps scholarships awarded Amena Hassan Staff Writer Recently two ECU students were awarded the N.C. Police Corps Scholarships for the '9697 year. Sandra Vaughn of Reidsville and Ted Sauls of Kinston, who are students in the criminal justice department, received the two awards. "We are simply elated that two of our ECU students were lucky enough to get such a significant honor said, Professor James Campbell, who submitted the names of the two students. "They are cer- tainly top notch students who passed the scholarship tests with flying col- ors The scholarship, based in Wash- ington D.C consists of federal funds which are offered to students who have a keen interest in law enforce- ment. Vaughn and Sauls, who were chosen out of 20 students receiving scholarship money in North Caro- lina, will receive $7,500 for each year to cover their college expenses. Each recipient receives a maximum of $30,000 which is not to be paid back, provided the requirements of the scholarship are fulfilled. The Greenville Police Department, for which the stu- dents will be working after graduation, sponsored both students from ECU and also will receive $10,000 per par- ticipant for each year worked under the agreement of the scholarship. After the employment with the department, the students are free to choose employment anywhere in the nation or they may continue working with the de- partment "It is an honor to get the Police Corps Scholarship and I'm excited to receive it Vaughn said. "Our names were submitted and we had to speak to the Greenville Police Department corporal, as well as undergo a series of physical and psychological tests Vaughn will participate in gen- eral police work for four years at the Greenville Police Department and then later hopes to acquire a federal job in the FBI. "I was extremely sat- isfied and pleased after hearing the news Sauls said. "It was a big re- ward, considering I had loans to pay off from the past years at college "It's very exciting to be in a na- tional program and be a part of some- thing that's just getting off the ground said Professor Paul Knepper of the criminal justice department said.

Program eases Veterans transition to Workforce Photo Courtesy of the Internet Phil Gramm speaks with veterans during a service held on Veterans Day, Monday Govenor Hunt porclaims Nov 10- 16 "Employ a Veteran Week" Scott Hopkins Staff Writer With the many veterans and military families honoring veterans this week, the state of North Carolina is honoring veterans in its own way. On Oct. 23 1996, Governor Jim Hunt proclaimed Nov. 10-16 1996 as "Employ a Veteran Week This veteran assistance program will serve many of the hundreds of veterans each month who are discharged from the military. "There is no better applicant than a veteran said Cal Faulkner, director of veterans employment and training department of the Em- See VETERAN page 3 Industrial hygienists offered graduate fellowship Angela Koenig Staff Writer The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Office of Worker Safety and Health is sponsoring a fellowship opportunity for students who are working towards a master's degree in industrial hygiene. The goal of the Industrial Hygiene Graduate Fellowship is to increase the number of industrial hygienists at the master's degree level so that healthful working conditions may be maintained at the DOE research and development facilities across the country. Increasing the visibility of industrial hygiene as a career option, strengthening the profession and strengthening the connections between the academic community and the DOE are also goals of the program. Industrial hygienists anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control en- vironmental factors or stressors arising in or from the workplace which may cause noticeable discomfort sickness or inefficiency among work- ers. Appointments into the program last for 21 months and participants must complete a renewal application after the first year. In addition to this, students have the opportunity for hands-on work or research in this field as well. The participants will complete a three- month practicum at one of more than 20 designated DOE facilities.

Students also must not have completed more than one year of graduate studies by the appointment date. Students are selected by a re- view board, which evaluates the stu- dents based on their application. "The review board is comprised of people from academia, DOE facili- ties and private industries Constantin said. There are several sections of the application on which the reviewers base their evaluations. "The parts are undergraduate grade point average, GRE exam scores, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, employ- ment experience and a career state- ment, which includes career goals and objectives. Of all the parts, the career statement is the most impor- tant Constantin said. The program pays an annual sti- pend of $15,600 in monthly install- ments, full tuition and fees, reim- bursement for travel expenses to and from the practicum site and a $400 per month dislocation allowance. The program began in 1992 and has had approximately 590 partici- pants. There are currently 15 stu- dents in the program. For applications and further in- formation on procedures, policies and guidelines concerning the program's operations, contact Constantin or Mary Kinney at (423) 576-9655. Students may also send e-mail to kinneym@orau.gov or visit ORISE on the Internet at http: www.orau.govseedseedfact.htm. The deadline for applications is Jan. 27, 1997, and students will be selected for participation beginning with the academic year in Sept. 1997.

"These are women who have all been through the educational sys- tem, and they know the pitfalls. They know how valuable it can be to be able to pick up the phone and talk to someone who's been there Pekarek said. The Glaxo Wellcome scholars are chosen by their respective schools, not the company, and appli- cations are due sometime in the spring. In addition to the $25,000 endowment for the school, out of which comes the student's scholar- ship, Glaxo Wellcome also donates five laptop computers to each school. The scholars are given the opportu- nity to use one of the laptops until they graduate. According to Noren, the main goal of the program, to encourage women scholars in science, has been reached. While attending a banquet to induct the new scholars, she said she heard several speakers who had multiple degrees, successful careers and also had families. "When I went to that banquet, it was amazing what these women have accomplished throughout their lives. You look (at them) and you think, women have done it. It is pos- sible Noren said. VO JL from page 1 work. Some of the agencies that the program aids are: The Boys and Girls Club of Pitt County, the Ronald McDonald House, the Real Crisis Center, the Soup Kitchen and the American Cancer Society. "The volunteers are the heart of what we try to do, which is give stu- dents one on one contact" said Ann Burden from the Pitt County Schools. "We receive outstanding vol- unteers every year and have never had anything but the best help. With- out the resource of the volunteers, some of the students would go with- out tutors. Even more importantly, these volunteers act as role models and mentors to children who lack a good support system. We are sin- cerely grateful One benefit to going through the volunteer office is that they pro- vide accident insurance. The plan covers you from the time you leave the school to the time you return back. Baker feels that students who are covered by the insurance, which is paid for by the Student Govern- ment Association, makes students feel more comfortable with donating their time, especially when working with mentally or physically handi- capped children. More importantly, it gives stu- dents an extra incentive to use the volunteer program. Students who do volunteer need to turn in their time sheets. That is important because the more students who participate, the more funding they are able to receive. A few of the awards the volunteer program has received are the President's Point of Light Award, the N. C. Governor's Award and the Award for Most Outstanding Program in the Nation. "The implications of our program are very great because of the number of students Baker said. Some stu- dents will become lifelong volunteers because of the work they did through school Students who are interested in volunteering can contact Baker at 328- 6432. She will help find a personal pro- gram which fits a student's schedule and interests. MARK A.

BCCYCtC POS 215 Arlington Blvd. 756-3301 ROL L ERBLA D� A Thursday, November 14,1996 The East Carolinian OuVtec As Americans, we need to stop making excuses and start acting responsibly when it comes to picking our leaders. The elections are over a week old now, and people have either been boasting about the results or complain- ing about them. Anyone keeping up with the news knows the outcome of the major elective offices. Bill Ciinton is still the President of the United States and Jesse Helms is still North Carolina's senator. North Carolina has some bragging rights in this year's political race. Apparently, our fair state had one of the strongest voter turnouts. We were one of the most ac- tive states in the nation when it came to voicing our opinions. We should be proud. Or should we? As strong as our state appears when talking on a national level, voter turnout for N.C was at its lowest in quite some time. According to the Nov. 7 issue of The News & Observer, "only about 60 percent of the state's 4.3 million registered voters went to the polls, the small- est figure since 1972, the latest year for which records are available If N.C. was one of the more active states in this year's elections and we weren't up to par, then what about the rest of the country? The figures for the national voter turnout indicates that voter turnout was at its lowest since the 1920s. There are any number of excuses for the lackluster interest in the '96 political campaign. The candidates weren't impressive; people didn't get their absentee bal- lots in time; the weather was bad; one person's vote doesn't affect anything; etc etc etc. Whatever the reason (or excuse), we at TEC don't understand why Americans aren't willing to take the time and effort to play a part in our nation's future. Sure, the political choices in any campaign may be limiting. Sure, many people live in areas where they aren't registered to vote. Sure, waiting in line on a rainy day is a miser- able experience. As Americans we need to stop making excuses and start acting responsibly when it comes to picking our leaders. As cliched as it may sound, we Americans are very blessed to be able to vote at all. Like many of our other luxuries, we have just taken our right to vote for granted. As far as TEC is concerned, low voter turnout is shameful, whether it be a national election, a local one, or the SGA. Anyone who didn't bother to vote, don't complain about the results. Anyone who did, good for you and complain to your heart's desire. Blaming the �T c,OF JLUl The East Carolinian & Marguerite Benjamin, News Editor Amy L.

The first was their seemingly apparent lack of concern for what impacts their actions had on the en- vironment The second reason was that top level researchers and execu- tives didn't pay heed to the common working class people who were sup- posedly being affected by their ac- tions. A big question that arose is whether or not his actions, though brutal, were necessary to get the point across. The a forementioned examples exhibit a big problem that our soci- ety faces that, aside from tort law, is the biggest problem facing our legal system today. If we look very closely we see that the most important ques- tion to ask has. in fact, been left out. Don't worry if you didn't catch it you're not alone. The unasked ques- tion was "DO, they or did they not commit the crime?" The problem that we are facing is that we have lost focus as to what is right and wrong based on what the motivations were. One of the things that makes our society such a great place to live is that no matter what the cause, we can always find a way to pursue solving our differences le- gally. Back in high school I was known to have a pretty rowdy bunch of friends (about a hundred of them) over from time to time (particularly when my parents were out of town). I had a neighbor who was always was the one to call the police (something that I am convinced that he took a little too much pleasure in). Well, one day his dog crossed into enemy territory and fell asleep in my back yard. Being one to capitalize on the opportunity I called the dog catcher. Even though leaving his car on cinder blocks would have given me an equal sense of jus- tice being served, I acted within my rights; the oppressor was brought back to even terms, and my parties were never broken up again. By committing the crimes men- tioned, the accused gave up their rights to be heard by taking the law into their own hands. This is some- thing that is against the law in America. Through the inherent nature of wanting to forgive, we have become a society that fails to place the blame for the wrong-doing with the person of whom it should rest. The victim may not be free of sin, yet it is still they who are the victim. Remember, its the criminal commit- ting the crime. Now that the elections are over, what is there left for me to run my mouth about? Hmmm I could write about buying a chicken sandwich for $2.99 from a certain student snack shop, only to discover it was a chicken nugget on a bun. I could write about politics, I could even write about your mama, but NO! Parking etiquette is today's topic, my friends. This is a problem we cannot over- look. A reliable source tells me that there are seven cars for every ECU parking spot I believe it! However, this travesty is miniscule in compari- son to the most cursed individual to roam the parking lots of this hal- lowed campus. Yes, the space stealer. Let's imagine you wake up nice and early, get your cup of coffee or soda, get yourself a bite to eat, and cruise over to the parking lot. The sun looks beautiful, birds are chirp- ing; life is good. You pull up to the lot, and it's full, but no problem! You just pull up in front of a row of parked cars and cut on some tunes. You're jammin and all of a sudden you see a person walking towards his car. Yessss! Just to be safe, you cut on your turn signal. Well, you put your drink back in the holder, put the car in drive, and all of a sudden, here he Larry Freeman Opinion Columnist You give space sleafc fuges, but it's no use. The space stealer has again. comes, the dreaded space stealer. The space stealer zooms his high-powered sports car around the corner, sees the car leaving, and the jerk flies in and steals your space. You've waited for half an hour, and some slack-ass loser takes your spot You give the space stealer the fin- ger, but it's no use. The space stealer has struck again. Scary, but true, fellow students. Well, you non-commuters are prob- ably going "Huh? so I'll fill you in on another crisis of epidemic pro- portions, and that if the nosy guy at the ATM machine. That ATM line can get pretty long before heading to the downtown establishment of your choice, but is there any need to be looking over my shoulder at my pitiful bank balance? Boy, I hate that! There are two places that you need some space, and that is ATM's and urinals. As Jerry Seinfeld says, "anytime you're taking valuables out of your pants, you really need some distance If these problems can be allevi- ated, then this great society of ours can continue to exist in harmony, and besides that ingrate Jesse Helms winning, I'm a happy man. Speak- ing of which, I want to congratulate each and every one of you who took the time out of your schedule to vote last Tuesday. Some of you waited for two hours inside of the Willis Build- ing, and I am still in awe over the number of you that turned out to vote. The seventh precinct of Green- ville, which our campus is in, I be- lieve achieved its highest turnout in history this time around. Each and everyone of you that came out and voted should pat your- selves on the back. The greatest thing about that is, you now have the right to bitch and moan as much as you want. Hey, it works for me! ScUt&i Rec Services needs new direction To the Editor, The ECU Recreation Center was in planning when my grandmother graduated in 1955. Finally, two years ago they broke ground in the first stages of construction. At first I could not wait to see such a modern display for all the students to enjoy. I sud- denly got struck by lightening and realized the Underwater Hockey Club would be using the pool while the Free Throw Shooting Club would re- serve the basketball court for their national tournament Will somebody give me an Amen? I have been in the gym five times in the past month and each time I have been turned away because paleontolo- gists were carbon dating the floor to determine its era in history. I have become thoroughly disappointed with the way Recreational Services handles scheduling of Alcatraz's hours. If the gym is not reserved for a club sport it is reserved for intramurals. What about the students who have a few spare hours every now and then? The current hours for free play directly interfere with class hours. What good is it to open the gym if students are in class? Why am I sup- posed to believe things are going to be any different when the Taj Mahal opens? Is this new facility really for the students on campus or is it just a tool to increase enrollment? When the next class of freshmen come to orientation, I will be sure to tell them they can look but not touch. Recreation Services needs to clean out their ears and listen to the students for a change!

An era that has seen two Liberty Bowl appearances, one of those being a win, and a greater amount of respect for a growing pro- gram. Many seniors said they can't believe this is it "It hasn't hit me yet linebacker Marvin Burke said. Safety Darren Hart said that coming into ECU he had his mind set on creating a tradition that would carry on. "When I came here, I wanted to build a tradition of defense Hart said. "That's the main thing I want to install is that East Carolina does play defense And defense they have played. Up until the Arkansas State game, ECU had not allowed an opponent to score in the fourth quarter. Last season, the defense ranked seventh in the nation in pass efficiency defense and 38th for overall total defense. On the other side of the ball, last season the offense finished 42nd in the nation with the help of Marcus CrandeU who personally finished 10th in total offense around the nation. For Burke, it is important that the younger players carry on with the playing methods that the seniors have built up over the years. "We've still got to carry on a legacy Burke said. "We have to teach younger guys the phi- losophy For the younger players, the seniors have provided a wealth of knowledge. "They help a lot of the freshmen out, just to have somebody to look up to sophomore full- back Scott Hartey said. "I want to win the game for the seniors Head Coach Steve Logan knows the talent his seniors have provided for him. "They're going out of here as one of the winningest groups that have come through here Logan said. Logan has a special bond with all his players and said he can recall something special about ali of his seniors. He mentioned Marcus CrandeU, Lorenzo West and the Hart twins, Darren and David. "There is a story to each one of them Logan said. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you I thought Marcus would be everything that he's been. I thought he was a gifted athlete but you never know - there are so many things that have to be learned about a young man Logan mentioned the consistency of West "Lorenzo West - coming in and being a 44 game start or whatever If s been, that's unique Logan said. He also talked about the performance of the Hart twins. "The Hart twins - who would have ever guessed they would be four year starters?" Logan said. "If s been a good dass Logan said that his se- niors should receive the credit they have earned. "They deserve all the good things that might be said about them Logan said. "They've been through a lot They've really pushed this program to a point where we can go out on Saturdays now and be competitive Not only do the coaches and players form bonds, but so do the players within them- selves.

If you look at a now feared Pirate defensive unit, you'll see eight proven contributors leaving the program, but the coaching staff isn't in shambles about the future - not when you have building blocks like sophomore nose guard Travis Darden to return for two more sea- sons. Darden, a native of Kelford, N.C saw his first action as a starter last season when the Bucs took on the Tennessee Vols in front of 93,000 hostile Volunteer fans. "That place was big Darden said, "I tried to drown out the crowd, but it was hard to tune out that 'Rocky Top' song Darden left his mark in Knoxville, causing all sorts of trouble for the Vols in his first ever division one start. "They put me in at nose guard, and I really didn't know what to do, so I just shot the gaps and tried to cause trouble for their offensive line Darden said. Defensive Coordinator Paul Jette was impressed by Darden's performance against a nationally ranked team, which led to Darden starting the remainder of the season as the starting nose guard. For the remainder of the '95 cam- paign, Darden racked up 47 tackles - 27 were unassisted, one sack and three quar- terback pressures as a freshman. "Well, I had an advantage over the other freshmen Darden said, "I went to prep school and then I came into the pro- gram a semester early and got in spring drills before my first season. So, I kind of knew what to expect when it came to the speed of a college football game Before transferring to ECU for the spring semester, Darden played one sea- son at Hargrave Military Academy after graduating from Bertie Senior. Because of Darden's decision to enroll a semester early, he was able to get used to college life as well as get a feel for the program. "I'm really not with this sophomore class, so to speak Darden said. Described as a "Tasmanian devil Darden used heart and athletic ability to cause a rukus in the trenches. After ter- rorizing many offensive fronts in the '95 season, Darden stayed in Greenville to work on school as well as his skills as a defensive lineman. "I really didn't know how to play nosegaurd, so I stuck around here, bulked up a little, and I spent hours with coach (Cliff) Yoshida, working on my technique and learning how to play the position Darden said. "I knew that folks were start- ing to figure out that I was just shooting the holes and relying on my speed to carry me And learned the position he did. Darden is now one of the bigger headaches for opposing offensive line coaches, on the Pirate schedule as one of the top tacklers on the defensive front. Darden, along with the rest of the Purple Haze Crew, strutted their stuff in front of a national television when they whipped nationally ranked Miami 31-6. The ECU defense dominated the line of scrim- mage for the entire evening. One of the more interesting match-ups was with Darden and Ail-American center K.C. 'ones. ' That was a game that you dream about when you're a kid Darden said. "Go to Miami, and you're up against an Ail-American - it was a dream come true Maybe for Darden, but for Jones and the rest of the Canes, it was the reality of their worst nightmare. "The week before the game, I took film home on him a watched it over and over Darden said. "I felt like I could take him, so I went at him as hard as I could, it was great With all of this in mind, one may think you're talking about a senior. Unfortunately for the opposition, the Bertie Basher has two more years to don the Purple and Gold. If the next two years are anything like the last two years, the Pirates defensive line will remain secure for seasons to come.

It was all part of an iron pour organized by the ECU School of Art Elizabeth City State University, the College of the Albemarle and the Chowan Arts Coun- cil. The iron pour was the inaugural event at Edenton's new arts center, located on the site of an old cotton mill. Students and faculty from ECU were joined by visitors from Buffalo (N.Y.) State College, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Asheville, Elizabeth City State University, the University of Wiscon- sin-Milwaukee and artists from South Carolina. The iron pour, originally slated for last Friday night was postponed due to poor weather conditions. Carl Billingsley, sculpture coor- dinator of the ECU School of Art di- rected the iron pour. During an iron pour, Billingsley explained, recycled metal is melted at very high temperatures for the cast- ing of sculptures. A furnace, known as a cupola, was constructed at the site of the event to melt the iron. The visual effects of an iron pour, Billingsley added, are similar to a fire- works display. "It's spectacular at night he said. "It's kind of one of those activi- ties people don't think much about; however, once they see it, they think it really is something Due to the high temperatures and sparks created from the melting pro- cess, safety is a major concern during a pour, Billingsley said. Participants wear protective gear to prevent inju- ries. In order to avoid problems, he added, planning is imperative. "It's not something you could do on the spur of a moment" Billingsley said. An iron pour also requires a tre- mendous amount of labor as the pieces of iron have to be broken into certain sizes before they can be melted. Communal cooperation is a must Billingsley added. In all, 4,230 pounds of iron were melted during the iron pour. Along with the iron pour, partici- pants and onlookers were treated to a barbecue chicken dinner prepared by the Windsor Cook Club. Billingsley applauded the efforts of Ann Perry, director of the Chowan Arts Council, in organizing the din- ner and other events slated in con- junction with the pour. Further cooperation with the arts center is likely, Billingsley said. The School of Music and Theater Department may also schedule activi- ties at the center. Billingsley said he believes the center will have a good regional im- pact and he thinks the iron pour was beneficial to both students and fac- ulty. "I think it was a wonderful op- portunity for ECU - the School of Art specifically - to expand its relation- ship with Eastern North Carolina .� Everyone seems to benefit from these kinds of activities Free F.A.N.

I re- member staying up to watch Bill Bixby play some type of magician hero on the cleverly-titled early '70s television series The Magi- cian. I remember going to birth- day parties where some guy who needed a little extra cash on the side v.ould dress up in a typical magician's outfit (cape, hat and magic wand in place) and pull col- orful handkerchiefs out of his sleeve. I loved magicians and every- thing they stood for. They under- stood magic better than anyone. They were otherworldly. They walked the fine line between our sense of what is real and our sense of what is fantastic. They were my greatest sense of what magic was. According to Webster's Colle- giate Dictionary, the word "magic" literally means "the use of means believed to have supernatural power over natural forces Well, this Saturday ECU will be witness to an extraordinary supernatural power defying natural forces in mind-boggling ways when one of the country's premier magicians makes a mystical appearance in the Magic of Lyn, part of the on-going ECU Family Fare Series. In an effort to bring family-ori- ented fun to Greenville, the Fam- ily Fare Series chooses to sponsor shows that are suitable for audi- ences of all ages, and the Magic of Lyn perfectly meets this criteria. Featuring such eye-popping spec- tacles as floating audience mem- bers, disappearing and reappear- ing animals, and a daring stunt in- volving 1800 watts of electricity, the Magic of Lyn is one magic show that has gained national popularity and earned critical praise, especially from the younger audiences. Jenneth Webster, who works for the Lincoln Center for the Per- forming Arts in New York, con- firms how thrilled children have been with the Magic of Lyn. "About 7,000 children saw this excellent performance when it played at the Lincoln Center See MAGIC page 13 Wake up, campus! The Student Union is trying mighty hard to serve you, so you guys and gals should try and pay attention to their efforts. From what I understand, student support has been severely lacking for many of the functions that the Student Union has put together. As an effort to service the en; tire student community (not just those who like hearing Widespread Panic or the Allman Brothers), the Student Union is bringing A Tribe Called Quest and Busta Rhymes to Minges on Nov. 23. Not only that, they've been able to get sneak pre- views of first-run movies like Sense and Sensibility and Ransom at Hendrix Theatre for our (free) view- ing pleasure. Also, they've been providing a Pirate Pride extravaganza over sev- eral Friday nights this semester. Called the Friday AU-Nighter (or F.A.N.) Club, this series of totally free events includes an afternoon live music jam with bands that play everything from blues to roots rock to international music to ska; a pep rally starring the ECU Cheerlead- ers, the Purple & Gold Dancers, and Pee Dee the Pirate; a block- buster movie on Hendrix Theatre's big screen (the best movie screen in Greenville); and finally, the pool tables, the bowling lanes, and the ping pong tables are open and free until the wee hours when Menden- hall shuts down. This Friday night, Mendenhall Student Center will be playing host to the super-fantastic ska outfit from Chapel Hill, Regatta 69.

He had noticed that science fiction had been swallowed up by popular culture and was now nothing more than a pe- riphery copy of popular literature: adventure sto- ries in space, mysteries in space, westerns in space. Being a fan of the genre, I had noticed that this was true. With the exception of some of the earliest sci-fi, such as H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, and even Lewis himself, science fiction had become a pop cul- ture, a shadow of modern entertainment culture. I was first encour- aged to read Orson Scott Card by a friend of mine. He had read Ender's Game, and had not been able to put the book down. I was further in- trigued because Card is a North Carolinian (he lives in Greens- boro). So, I read Ender's Game and, in succession, the rest of the series based on that novel, of which Chil- dren of The Mind is last Briefly told, the series concerns the life of one Ender Wiggin, and his quest to become a whole person. In Ender's Game, he commits the ter- rible crime of xenocide (like genocide, except that it is the eradication of an entire species) as a child, and repents for his crime by publishing a compas- sionate, passionate history of that alien race under an assumed name, Speaker for The Dead. The book has far-reaching consequences: because it looks at the war through the eyes of the aliens instead of from a human perspective. In the sequel, Speaker for the Dead, Ender encounters a new alien race and, determined to prevent the replay of his crime, begins to negoti- ate between the human race and their neighbors. Unfortunately, in doing so, See CARD page 12 skankin' com- bination of alt- rock, reggae and pop.

In the third novel, Xenocide, Ender and his friends race against time to stop this fleet and to dismantle a nearly-sentient virus that threatens to destroy the human race. Which brings us to Children of the Mind. Though this novel is basi- cally the conclusion of the events set in motion by the first three, it is by far the most important of the four novels. Because, unlike most sci-fi out there today, the Ender Saga is not really about space or technology or interstellar war, but instead about what it means to be human. Throughout the series, Card uses the story of Ender to draw the reader into a fantastic and awe-inspir- ing philosophical inquiry concerning the meaning of existence. Along the way. he brings out some very inter- esting hypotheses about politics, some engaging debates about the sanctity of human life, questions about the nature of freedom, inquir- ies into the existence of God, a re- vealing picture of our attitudes to- ward the disabled and a moving pic- ture of unconditional love. He does all of this within the context of the story, indirectly at times, but always in a manner relevant to the moving action. And the action is well-paced. Never for a moment is the reader too omniscient; never is he or she left in the dark for too long. Like Shakespeare himself. Card delivers a tale that can appeal to both the popu- list audiences of mainstream sci-fi, while also writing a story that en- gages intellectual and philosophical minds. His descriptions are vivid and alive: not since C.S. Lewis' Perelandra has a sci-fi author ren- dered beauty this well. (Card's style is, however, decidedly less medieval than Lewis) He delivers his tale well, wrapping it up in a multicultural kaleidoscope: his characters are in- fluenced by Brazilian, Chinese and Japanese cultures. Card's character- izations are superb; the inner work- ings of his character's minds are vi- tal to the effectiveness of his story, and he deftly encapsulates the com- plex and very human personalities in his epic. It was only after reading this novel that the obvious occurred to me: science fiction is an ideal medium for exploring the nature of human- ity. What better way to understand our glories and our shortcomings than by giving us an alien mind through which to look at ourselves? In this way. 1 mean no blas- phemy, this series of novels is like the Bible, in that it presents human- ity with an outside view - this is how silly you look sometimes: this is how- wonderful you really are. if only you d let go of your stubborn pride to see it. The Bible presents how we look to God; Card gives us the image we present to four alien races. I find myself moving through the day. pondering the many questions raised by these novels. I see that, even now, 1 have already evaluated many of my preconceived notions about culture and humanity because of these books. My mind races a mile a minute at times, weighing new ideas and concepts birthed in my mind because of the questions and possibilities these books have opened my eyes to. In these very stories, Card created a character (Ender Wiggin) who is able to see through the eyes of strangers and write from the perspective of the "Other By writing these novels, Card has become such an author himself.

AIA is a group of former college players that travel around and plav exhibition games with other colleges. Nancy Liberman-Cline, regarded as one of the best female players, be- gins her first tour with AIA. Liberman-Cline is the seventh player inducted into the Hall of Fame and has won numerous awards. ECU's Laurie Ashenfelder had the task of guarding Liberman-Cline who scored 25 points in the Pirates' 5846 loss. "It was a great opportunity to guard someone with her talent Ashenfelder said. ECU started off slow not record- ing a basket until the 16:50 mark when Justine Allpress nailed two free throws. The Lady Pirates did not score for another seven minutes when Allpress came to the rescue with a layup. Coach Anne Donovan was visibly frustrated with the way her team played. "Offensively, we couldn't put the ball in the hole Donovan said. "We were getting great shots - we just couldn't knock them down Ashenfelder agreed. "We were too focused on defense and didn't execute when we needed to Ashenfelder said. ECU started scoring toward the end of the first half and were down by six at the half, 23-17. The only scorers in the first half were Allpress with 11 points, Tracey Kelley with four and Crissy White notched two points. "We were getting great shots � we just couldn't knock them down � Coach Anne Donovan pointer and a Kelley free throw. Melanie Gillem sank an 18-foot jump shot to give the Lady Pirates their closest chance, 37-35. with 7:20 left AIA proved to be too much and the Lady Pirates fell behind and lost by 12, 5846. Allpress led all scorers with 18 points, Kelley added nine, Jen Cox and Home each added six. Kelley grabbed 16 re- bounds for the game and said that is what the team will rely on her for this sea- son. Defensively, Kelley thought there could have been some improve- ments. "We need to concentrate on han- dling the pressure Kelley said. "Zone pressure - we couldn't handle it inside. The guards need to handle it outside The second half was better for the Pirates as more people began to score and the offense started to click. But it wasn't enough. ECU cut the deficit to within four after a Misty Home three "That's my bread and butter this year Kelley said. "My biggest con- tribution is going to be rebounding The Lady Pirates won't play un- til their season opener later this month, but these exhibition games gave some of the younger players a taste of what is to come. "These two games give them (freshman) a taste of the next 26 games Kelley said. ECU will open up the season on Nov. 23 against Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. Women's basketball player i looks to make impact on team Mike Daniska Staff Wrltor For junior Jen Cox, just playing basketball for the Lady Pirates is a triumph. Cox, who transferred to ECU from Vanderbilt has been lim- ited to only nine games in the past three years, due to a stress fracture that kept her out of action. In high school, Cox was named an Ail-American by the Women's Bas- ketball News Service and honorable mention by USA Today and Street and Smith's. As a senior, she was named South Carolina's Player of the Year and led her team to a 51-11 record in her last two seasons. Such winning ways continued when she chose to attend Vanderbilt a national powerhouse in women's basketball. She traveled with Vanderbilt to the Sweet 16 her fresh- man and sophomore years, but some- thing wasn't quite right "Vanderbilt was ranked number one in the nation when I picked it ! but I didn't really fit in the system. I Plus I had some injuries Cox said. Cox's coach at Vanderbilt recom- ; mended ECU's Head Coach, Anne Donovan, and Cox soon became a Pi- ! rate. "I love ECU Cox said, a biol- I ogy major. "I love the people, the school Cox had to sit out last year be- cause she was a transfer. But her presence was felt even before she played a game this year. "Jen is interesting Donovan said. "She is the first transfer that 1 have had, and her presence was re- ally felt in practice. I put a lot of de- mand on this team, but because of the prominent program that she had come from. Jen was already at the level that I am accustomed to Cox knows hard work is the only way to get ahead. "The whole team has a really good work ethic added Cox. "They look to me because I have been in a winning program and have had ex- perience at the national level On the court, Donovan looks to Cox to anchor a promising defense. "With her size and height alone, she will have a good impact on the team. She will give us a great post The Colonial Athletic Associa- tion Cross Country Championships were held earlier this month at Lake Kristi. While the men headed into the competition hungry for a third place or better team finish, sophomore Jamie Mance was determined to be- come the first ECU runner to earn All-Conference honors. By finishing seventh overall in the five mile race, with a time of 24:52, his mission was accomplished. AI1-CAA honors are awarded to the top 12 finishers in the race. Mance, who has been running cross country for six years now, comes to ECU from Wilmington, Del. He chose ECU because he was im- pressed with the unity and overall atmosphere displayed by the team. "In looking at different schools, I knew that these were the p�ople that I wanted to run with because they were real Mance said. "Every- one else just put on an act and didn't seem to care much about what they were doing. I have never seen a team with so much depth and I couldn't wait to be part of it" Mance's primary focus is on stay- ing healthy and in optimal physical condition, with his main goal being to improve each year. "I came into this meet with hopes of a third place team finish and the personal goal to earn All-Confer- ence honors, and I did just that Next year, I will expect even more out of both the team and myself Mance said. With about half of the team from North Carolina and the other half coming from various parts of the country, the men often turn their practices into North vs. South com- petitions. They run each practice as if they are performing at an actual meet This rivalry among teammates forces each member of the team to strive for improvement and as a re- sult of this competitiveness, the team has been stronger than ever this sea- son. With 5:30 a.m. practices three times a week, two hours of running and conditioning each afternoon, and meets on most weekends, members of the cross country team are obvi- ously dedicated to their sport Mance feels that the team has been so successful because of the tre- Photo Courtesy of ECU SID Jamie Mance runs for the finish line finishing third in the CAA's. This run earned him All-Conference honors. mendous effort put in by the team and coaches alike. Together, the coaches and athletes strive for excel- lence and improvement and together, their long-term goals have been ac- complished. Assistant Coach Mike Ford pre- dicts that the team will be unstop pable within the next two years. With a team consisting mostly of freshmen and sophomores, there is plenty of time to learn, improve and grow. "This meet has definitely had a positive effect on the overall motiva- tion and attitude of the team Ford said. "The guys are confident that they are representing a legitimate program that has the ability to com- pete at the top. Setting our goal and working hard to achieve it was a lot different than actually doing it. 1 didn't come off cloud nine until the Wednesday after the championship For the past 12 years, the CAA Championships have been held at William & Mary. Ford, who has been coaching cross country for four years now, began lobbying for the compe- tition to be rotated among schools. For the first time in over a decade, teams from William & Mary, James Madison, UNC Wilmington, George Mason, Richmond, Old Dominion, American University, Virginia Com- monwealth and, of course, ECU met here in Greenville. As one of the smallest sports on campus, the cross country team works with perhaps the smallest of See RUNpage 15 INFORMATION DEPARTMENT The ECU golf team won the Charleston South- ern Invitational after defeating UNC Wilmington on the first hole of the playoff. Both teams finished at 591 after 36 holes The Pirates shot a combined 297 on Tuesday to overcome the two-stroke lead the Seahawks held af- ter the first day of play. The two teams were even going into the final hole of the day. ECU senior Richie Creech sank a 15-foot putt for birdie to put the Pi- rates in the playoff. On the first hole of the playoff, ECU made four pars to defeat UNC-W, which made just three. "It was nice to see the freshman respond the way they did today ECU head coach Kevin William said. "They hung in there and gave us a chance to win this thing at the end Marc Miller shot the best score of the day for the Pirates as he carded a 70. Freshman Matt Riggs fired a 73 and Creech shot a 76. Robbie Perry and Shane Robinson each shot scores of 78. The Pirates have now won this tournament two consecutive years as they won the team title last year as well. ECU will not play in another tournament until the spring season. The ECU volleyball team tied the school record for consecutive losses in a season (10) as the Pirates were defeated by UNC-Wilmington. The Seahawks took the first game easily 15-3 and then took an early lead in the second game. The Pirates answered with a run of their own to take the second 15- 10. In the third game, ECU began with a five point lead before letting the Seahawks in the game. UNC-W went ahead late before the Pirates ended it 16-14. In the fourth game, the Seahawks took control and never relinquished it beating ECU 15-5. In the fifth game, control went back and forth before UNC-W took a 14-11 lead. The Pirates played hard though coming back with two points before UNC-W ended the game 15-13. Final for the match UNC-W 15-3, 10-15, 14-16, 15-5, 15-3. Individually for the Pirates, Shannon Kaess had 14 kills and 11 digs while Kari Koenning added 13 kills and 18 digs. This was the final conference match for the Pirates (6-25,0-6). ECU'S final home match is against Campbell on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. Photo Courtesy of ECU media guide Jen Cox, a transfer from Vanderbilt University, hopes to bring her knowledge of basketball to the Lady Pirates. Cy Young winner announced game Donovan said. In early exhibition games this year, Cox's presence has been felt. In 31 minutes, she scored 14 points, grabbed three boards, had three as- sists, one block and a steal in a 60- 50 victory over the Croatian National Team on Nov. 6. And on Nov. 11 against Athletes in Action, Cox had six points rebounds in 21 minutes of play. With the regular season opener at Appalachian State quickly ap- proaching, Cox is eager and excited to play. "We are looking forward to something other than just exhibition games Cox said. "ASU is pretty good, but with some good recruits and transfers, we are an all around better team than last year. I think that we are going to be a really good defensive team, and that the defense will take us far As for conference foes, Cox fore- sees Old Dominion as the only true obstacle. In the preseason Top 25 AP college women's basketball poll, the Lady Monarchs are ranked seventh. For Cox, a strong work ethic and winning background translate into an unequaled desire to win. A desire that should carry the Lady Pirates far this season. NEW YORK (AP) - Given the hype during the baseball playoffs, Andy Pettitte figured he would win the AL Cy Young award. Pat Hentgen did, too. "To be honest, I definitely pre- pared myself to come in second the Toronto right-hander said Tues- day after his upset victory was an- nounced. "I was a little shocked. I think I'm overwhelmed right now Hentgen, who turned 28 today, was 20-10 with a 3.22 ERA for the fourth-place Blue Jays, winning his 20th on the final day of the sea- son. In matching the second-clos- est vote in the history of the AL Cy Young, he received 16 first-place votes, nine seconds and three thirds for 110 points. Pettitte, 21-8 with a 3.87 ERA for the World Series champion New York Yankees, was considered the favorite. He drew 11 firsts, 16 sec- onds and one third for 104 points in balloting by the Baseball Writ- ers Association of America. "All the talk was that I would definitely win Pettitte said. "I'm like, these people know something I don't. I was a little surprised Hentgen led the majors in com- plete games (10) and innings (265 2-3) and was second in ERA in the AL behind teammate Juan Guzman (2.93). Hentgen pitched three shut- outs, tying Ken Hill of Texas. Rich Robertson of Minnesota and Kevin Brown of Florida for the major league lead. "When the season ended and I was talking to my wife. 1 told her Pat deserved it Pettitte said. "He was totally dominating. 1 didn't go out and dominate games. Of course.

In 1972, Gaylord Perry beat Wilbur Wood 64-58. Hentgen, who became the first to win the award for a Canadian team, was 8-6 with a 3.86 ERA be- fore the All-Star game, then went 12-4 with a 2.58 ERA after the break. "Things just snowballed for me in the second half Hentgen said. "There was just a point where I knew I could go out and pitch a good game He got his 20th win when he led Toronto over Baltimore 4-1 at SkyDome. He had a chance to win his 20th against Baltimore on the final weekend three years ago, but Toronto lost to Rick Sutcliffe 8-4. "I think when I look back at '93 in Camden Yards, going for my 20th win, I was a little nervous Hentgen said. Pettitte, 24, led the AL in vic- tories and went 13-3 after Yankees losses. He pitched for many months despite a sore throwing arm. "I didn't even think I'd make it through the season if you asked me in the middle of the season when by elbow was killing me he said. Charles Nagy of Cleveland was fourth with 12 points, followed by Mike Mussina of Baltimore with five. Alex Fernandez and Roberto Hernandez of the White Sox were tied for sixth with one point along with Hill. Hentgen, who made $2.25 mil- lion, gets a $50,000 bonus for win- ning the award. IV U JN from page 14 any athletic budgets. However, the men have been able to use this depri- vation of funds to their advantage. "Not having the extra luxuries that most of the other athletic teams have has made our kids tougher Ford said. So what's expected to happen in the future? Ford guarantees that the team will run the best ever in ECU his- tory at regionals, which is scheduled to be held this Saturday at Furman Uni- versity in Greenville, S.C "About 55 schools will be repre- sented at regionals and only the top three will get a bid for nationals Ford said. "We are heading into this meet for a good experience, and 1 expect that we will finish somewhere within the top 50 percent" As for Mance, Ford is confident that he will be able to represent ECU at the Penn Relays, which will host over 70,000 athletes from around the na- tion. The Relays, held in April each year, usually serve as a good preview for nationals, which are held in June. "Jamie has definitely exceeded my expectations of how successful he would be as a sophomore Ford said. "He is up there with the top guys in the country. His excellent mental atti- tude is going to help him stay at the top Ford feels that all of the athletic teams are likely to benefit from having a football team that is consistently mak- ing a huge positive statement about ECU's Athletic Program. "In beating Miami, our football team opened the eyes of sports fans all over the country. People are start- ing to learn a lot about ECU and our terrific program Ford said. "It's been great for recruiting potential athletes The team has also received an in- credible amount of parental support Ford feels that the parents and fami- lies of his athletes truly are interested and care about the well-being and suc- cess of the team. The men will continue to set per- sonal goals, work hard to achieve them, and improve each day. With a solid team, motivated and dedicated, contin- ued success is guaranteed.
