TUESDAY JANUARY 21.1997 EAST CAROLINA UNrVERSTTY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA I December robbery investigation closes Joe Horst ECU POLICE DEPARTMENT Days before students took their last final exams, ECU Police arrested a 20-year-old Greenville man, along with two accomplices, for allegedly robbing an ECU student with a handgun and assaulting another student by pointing a gun. Abdul James Rouse, 20, of 421 W. 4th Street, was arrested at the ECU Police department on Dec. 9, 1996. Rouse was charged with one count of robbery with a dan- gerous weapon and one count of assault by pointing a gun. Troy Hennighan and Kaylon Williams, from New York and Greenville respectively, were each charged with felony accessory after the fact. Hennighan was also arrested on a fugitive warrant from the state of New York for a dan- gerous drug violation. Extradition proceed- ings are pending. ECU Police Assistant Chief Thomas Younce said that the arrests resulted from an intensive investigation. "The arrests were the culmination of many long hours and good old fashioned police work by members of the ECU Police department Younce said. On Dec. 5, a resident of Scott Hall was approached by a black male wearing a ski mask. According to police reports, the assailant pointed a medium-sized handgun at the student and demanded the student's wal- let. The suspect fled the scene in a white vehicle with the victim's checkbook and wal- let. A resident of Jones Hall reported that he witnessed the robbery and that the assailant also pursued him and pointed a handgun at him. This victim was able to flee the area in his vehicle before the assailant could reach him. "I am proud of the great work done by members of the ECU Police department in quickly making these arrests Younce said. "Maybe our quick work will deter others from coming to our campus to commit crimes The police department suggests that stu- dents should be aware of their surrounding! and take necessary precautions, such as walk' ing in groups or utilizing the police escort sys- tem. "I think that these crimes demonstrate that the university is not immune to what is going on around us and in our communities and it is incumbent upon each of us to take crime prevention seriously Younce said. foculty and staff may need own health unit Student health turns away faculty ANGELA KOENIG AND NICOLE MCMULLEN HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ECU's Student Health Center is available in case students get sick while on campus or need medical attention. This service, howev- er, is not available to the faculty and staff mem' :rs who work here. Students pay $65 from their fees each semester to use the center. The health center budget and the salaries of the people working there are based on this money. Because the faculty members do not con- tribute to this budget they cannot benefit from the services, faculty and staff members are not allowed to pay the $65 fee each semes- ter to have the option of being treated 'on campus because this would cause an over- crowding problem at the health center. According to Gwcn leaden, secretary to the director of the Student Health Center, to treat faculty and staff would mean doubling the staff and the space in the center. If a student is injured on campus and can not make it to the center a nurse can be sent to help the individual. However, if the same accident were to occur to a faculty or staff member, the same service does not have to be provided. Only in an emergency situation can help be provided. "We wouldn't turn down another human being Teaden said. If a non-student is cut or severely injured they can be brought to the health center to receive attention. According to Student Health Center Director Kay VfcnNortwick the center is usually not contacted in these cases and instead 911 is called. The workers can do as much as possible to get help for an injured person even if they can not help them. VanNortwick said that in one case an ECU police officer had chest pains while walking outside the health center. He was taken inside, hooked up to an electrocardiogram and was stabilized by the doctors. The center then contacted 911 to take him to the hospital. When English Professor Dr. Douglas McMillan fell outside of the General Classroom Building last semester, he could not be treated at the health center but did receive assistance getting aid. He was able to get up but could not walk. "A colleague found me and went to the center to get help. A nurse came with a wheel- chair and helped get me to the infirmary where they made arrangements to get me to my personal physician McMillan said. He was pleased with the center's response although they could not directly help him. "They didn't have the facilities to do what I needed anyway. They were very helpful and in fact made follow-up calls to check on me McMillain said. SEE HEALTH.

The fraternity fire, which resulted in five student deaths, was caused by several smol- dering cigarette butts left in a trash can. In November there were concerns raised at a UNC-CH meeting. They decided to start looking into banning smoking in all residence halls and campus apartments. According to an article in the News and Observer, UNC-CH Housing Services realizes that the response from students will be unfavorable because other such attempts to control student behav- ior, such as drinking and overnight quests, have been unpopular. "The students should have the right to choose whether they smoke or not Tom Carrol a business major and UNC-CH hall res- ident said. A survey of East Carolina hall residence found that our students agree with Carrol. Several ECU students agreed if smoking was banned in residence halls it would only hurt the school. They believe it would force smok- ing residents to move off campus. This of course would cause the university to lose money in student rent. However, there are also a few students who would not oppose such a ban. "I feel good about it (a ban on smoking) freshman art major Jenn Novakoski said. Especially in my dorm, Corten, because we can not get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke Although Novakoski did add that more non-smoking floors would be a better alterna- tive. Most students surveyed believed the smoking policy now in effect at ECU should not go through many major changes. The idea of creating more non-smoking floors andor entire residence halls seems to be the most popular choice. According to an article in the Daily Reflector, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington's Housing Services also has con- cerns about smoking in residence halls last year. UNCWs Housing Director Bill Harris said that a non-smoker having a smoking room- mate was the number 1 complaint his office received from residents. The problem of con- flicting roommates has effectively changed UNC-Ws policy. Since then the top floors of most residence halls are now designated as smoking areas. According to the same article, only a few selected colleges and universities have chosen Campus vigil celebrates King legacy Corey algood MINORITY STUDENT ISSUES MARGUERITE BENJAMIN NEWS EDITOR Editor's note: Fbgrettabfr, TEC's coverage ofthefollovmg firms couldnot bemorem-depth dueto the factthatour pro- duction schedule for this issue cometled'mth last night's activities "MLK Remembered: A Celebration of Life, Work and Achievement of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was this year's theme to honor the birthday of the renown social activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Last night, the university observed the legacy accomplishments of King with a march and candlelight vigil that began in front of Belk Hall on College Hill Drive.

They will ban all smoking inside of indoor facilities in May of this year. They have even gone as far as ban- ning smoking outside of open windows. Jill Carnaghi, Unviersity of Vcrmonts' direc- tor of residence life led the charge. Through her own personal investigation she found that there were a number of students who suffered from allergies, asthma and other respiratory ill- nesses that are aggravated by smoke. "I found that smoking was a really high health concern in our student population Carnaghi said. As of right now nothing has been decided at the University of North Carolina or at any other North Carolina school. UNC-CH hous- ing directors will be meeting at the end of this month to decided on whether or not to enforce the ban. As for ECU, the outcome of this months meeting could be what sparks an idea in the mind of our Housing Director. Haney presents art in glass in Mendenhall Exihibit in Mendenhall Student Center through Wednesday Jacqueline D. Kellum ARTS AND STUDIES ISSUES Fiowers with fish swimming close and endan- gered species, including zebras, elephants, and even the Energizer Bunny are among the topics of glass works by Art Haney currently being shown in Mendenhall. The exhibit includes 12 works of glass mosaics and six works of fused glass with glass enamels. Haney is an Associate Dean in the School of Art who teaches ceramics in addition to working on his own pieces in glass. "All of us in the art department, all of the professors, we all stay professionally active, and this just happens to be what I do�glass- work Haney said. The exhibit currently being displayed uses mostly endangered species and other environ- mental issues as its subject matter. Haney said that finding inspiration for his work is an ongo- ing process, often leading from one set of works to the next. "Oftentimes my work is done in series. For example, I did a whole series once on just bridges�all kinds of bridges. Physical bridges, psychological bridges, emotional bridges; the whole series was based on the concept of join- ing different things Haney said. Haney said that the bridge series suggest- ed the topic of water to him, and he did a series on boats, based on his experiences as a novice sailor. "In doing that. 1 became more aware of the ecology, and the wetlands, and the environ- ment, so that led to a series on environmental issues, which led to a series on endangered species Haney said. Oftentimes, Haney said, the glass itself will suggest a motif. "While I was working on these flowers, I found that a lot of the patterns in the glass suggested fish. So I started incorporting fish into the flowers Haney said. The quality of the glass is extremely impor- tant to the type of work that Haney does, so much so that he made a special trip to South Carolina to handpick the glass for this series. Both the fused glass and the glass mosaics are mounted and framed when completed, but the processes to create the works are entirely different. "(With the fused glass) what I do is I layer different colors of pieces of glass. They're stacked on top of each other, put in an electric kiln and melted, so they fuse. And then I go back into them with paints and glass enamels and I fuse that into the surface of the glass Haney said. The glass mosaics are somewhat like a work of stained glass. "Each individual piece is cut and glued to a piece of glass, and then the space between them is filled with grout Haney said. But as the mosaics are mounted instead of being placed against light, the characteristics desired of the glass are different. "It's not meant to be looked through. It's totally dependent on the reflective qualities of the glass Haney said. Haney received his undergraduate degree in fine art at Syracuse University, and his; Masters of Fine Arts in ceramics at the New Yotk State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. He began teaching at ECU soon after and has been here ever since. Haney says he initially continued his work in ceramics while teaching, but switched to glasswork out of practicality, when he discov- ered that his schedule did not allow for enough studio time to maintain his ceramic works. He is unsure what direction his work will go next. "I'm still in the process of working through this series. Right now it hasn't suggested a new series. The new series may be in stained glass, it may be in glass casting, which I plan to get into, or it may be more mosaics Haney said. Although he is not sure of exactly what his next project will be, Haney says he definitely plans to continue working with glass.

Martin Luther King Jr. did so much to advance those values, Ms. Bexley and about 60 oth- ers gathered at the site Saturday to recall the groundbreaking demonstra- tion of 1960, part of commemorations across the country in honor of the slain civil rights leader's birthday.

"It's because of him that Latinos today have a lot more freedom, opportuni- ties and social acceptance Maldonado said.

In Ohio, several hundred people at Cuyahoga Community College lis- tened Sunday to the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra, a gospel singing group and the comments of civil rights activist Walter E. Fauntroy. In Arkansas, a spokesman for Gov. Mike Huckabee defended the state's practice of honoring King and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on the same day. "They're both heroes. Their birthdays come the same week and you know the government likes to have holidays at the start of the week spokesman Rex Nelson said. College applicants use gimmicks to apply Abortion clinics attacked TULSA, Okla (AP) - The director of an abortion clinic firebombed twice this month is worried the blasts may foreshadow more violence as the 24th anniversary of legalized abortion approaches. The clinic, which closed down when two Molotov cocktails exploded there New Year's Day, was bombed again Sunday afternoon. Both explosions caused minor damage but no injuries. On Thursday in Atlanta, two bomb blasts an hour apart rocked a building housing an abortion clinic, injuring six people who had rushed to the scene of the first explosion, including federal agents, rescue workers and a TV cam- eraman. Silent films theater owner fatally gunned down LOS ANGELES (AP) - Silent films have lost their best friend. Laurence Austin, the owner of the only theater in America devoted sole- ly to silent films, was robbed and fatally gunned down at his Silent Movie Showcase before the start of the night's main feature. The beloved owner had renovated the theater and reopened it about five years ago, delighting legions of pre-talkie fans. itfc After the shooting Friday, the killer fled through the theater full of fright- ened moviegoers and escaped out the back exit. Police have no suspects. DURHAM (AP) - This is the time of year when admission applica- tions begin rolling into colleges, and with them come a steady stream of gimmicks designed to grab admissions officers attention. Usually they work - in grabbing attention, that it. But admission officers say they are no help at all in getting into school. But they are amusing. There was the little pill bottle Christoph Guttentag, Duke University's admissions director, received in the mail, his name typed neatly across the label. Other gimmicky admission applications to Duke and other North Carolina colleges include everything from sweets and home videos to a Duke Barbie that recently arrived in Durham. Despite widespread admonish- ment from advisers and college guides, hundreds of students still try to gain an edge in the college admissions process with such gim- micks, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported. In fact, such ploys can backfire. Some admissions officials say they often signal an application that lacks substance. "In many cases, students are trying to cover up academic short- comings says Martha Allman, associate director ot admissions at Wake Forest University. "And that doesn't work Allman remembers the kid on the waiting list who sent a size 13 gold and black shoe "to get his other foot in the door and the girl who sent apoem on a postcard for each of the 12 days of Christmas. (Refrain: "the Demon Deacons gave to me) George Dixon, director of admissions at N.C. State University, says a tenet of the pro- fession is that the best applicants - knowing their academic record will stand on its own - send the least supplemental material. "The extras really do not give them an advantage Dixon says. Home videos are the most com- mon appeal for attention, officials say. And most universities - not counting those that require video- tapes, for special programs such as dance - slide them into the garbage rather than the VCR. "We have boxes and boxes of videos says Jim Walters, director of undergraduate admissions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "With more than 16,000 applications to read, we just don't have time to view them Allman says she's received videos logging everything from a fami- ly trip to India to a vale- dictorian's speech - but she doesn't watch them. Walters says that when videos first start- ed coming in, the staff checked them out for curiosity's sake and found them most of them were awful. His office now keeps the videos around for a year or so, then they arc tossed in the trash � along with all the other gimmicks. Except for those that taste good. "Sure, if we get something edi- ble, we eat it Walters says. "Why waste it?" He notes that food is separated go for overkill. from its application so no one knows whose cookies they're eat- ing. Admissions officers are con- founded that the gimmicks keep coming although high school stu- dents are clearly warned against them. In this year's "How to Get into College" guide by Kaplan, University of Illinois admissions director Martha Moore says students should avoid any- thing cute. "Let's see, this year we received orchids, candy and a loaf of bread with a note saying "I won't loaf around if I come to Illinois " Moore says. "This shouldn't have any bearing on whether a student is admitted. It won't move them from a no-admit to an admit Dixon, the NCSU admissions director, says, "Kids are just so con- cerned with putting every possible good foot forward, they sometimes "In many cases, stu- dents are trying to cover up academic shortcomings.

Belmont city leaders have been working to recruit specialty retail stores for downtown. A Belk's department store, a bridal boutique and other quaint shops have opened along Main Street. There's also Cherubs Craft and Coffee Shop, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, gourmet coffeehouse, deli-style sandwich spot and angel- theme gift store staffed by nuns at the nearby Sisters of Mercy con- vent and mentally retarded adults. "We started off as a crafts store, but it evolved into all these other things because there was nothing like them in downtown Belmont said Sister Nancy Nance, the coffee shop manager. A local developer is renovating old mill houses and turning them into an upscale subdivision called Adams Bluff. The city council also has banned billboards, established tree-protecting ordinances and ordered all developers to leave open green spaces in their subdivi- sions. Chapel Hill Mayor Rosemary Waldorf takes Belmont's efforts as a compliment and says they make a lot of sense. 'Wc are certainly the town in North Carolina that has the liveliest downtown, day or night she said.

I thought it would be great to live in an apartment. What a mistake! No one told me what a drag it is to eat my own cooking, dean the bathroom, and pay rent and utilities every month �Lisa the Loser Each year, students gamble with their Irving situation by moving off campus. They take a chance on finding an apartment and paying their way each month. They make big investments in security depoiltt and utility hook-up fees, in grocery bills, and in gas and transportation costs. It never pays off. But you don't have to make the same mistake. Don't fold and be taken In by stories of off-campus glamour. Don't take a chance. Play your hand and go with a sure thing�campus living!

Rules serve to keep order within a society and to show a standard by which the members of a said society must live. Overall, the policies of a given organization serve one general purpose: to protect and provide for the organization and its members. Still, there are occasions where exceptions need to be made in order to better serve the members of an organization. In campus news today is one such occasion. The story "Student Health turns facul- ty away" tells of an incident in which a policy was taken to the extreme. While we can surely understand that certain departments and offices on campus are funded by stu- dent fees and are in existence for students, there are times when faculty and staff mem- bers should be allowed to use these services. We also understand the concept of Good Samaritan liability: if you stick your neck out to help someone and your efforts cause him or her further damage, then you are at fault. Whereas, if you just stand by, watch- ing a struggle and not offering to help, then ou are free and clear of any blame. Or �e you? fo the ease of the Student Health employee who refused to offer assis- tance to an ECU professor who had been seriously injured, we somewhat understfwi their reluctance, But there is also something we want to know: shwrfdn't an exception have been made m this instance? Even strangers reach out to offer fwst aid until trained emergency medical personnel arrive on the scene. Not that everyone should reach out and try to play hero whenever there's a problem, but sometimes it is better to rely on one's better judgment than to blindly adhere to company or organizational policy No matter how angry they make us at times, even we as students acknowledge fac- ulty and staff members as part.pf our immediate community and we contend everyone is responsibk to reach out and help the members of one's community. Weren't want anyone to mlstake'the tone of our view as sounding preachy or negKgcncly mindless of the purpose of rules and policies, but when such policies are made to protect the mem- bers of an organization, they should do just that, whether or not a member of that orga- nization has paid $64. Now that is not to say that faculty and staff members are not expected to pay for the services �hey use, but this is clearly a case of an emergency with special rircunwtances. Certain services, Hke the Student Recreation Center, should require faculty and staff members to pay.

January 21, 1997 i It 'style The East Carolinian Writers Reading Series sets spring schedule CD reviews DALE WILLIAMSON ASSISTANT LIFESTYLES EDITOR Attention, literary fans! The Writers Reading Scries for the Spring '97 semester is set to blast off on Monday, Jan. 27. Starting the new stretch will be Michael Collier, who will be sharing his life's work of poetry (and possibly a sampling of prose) with the Greenville com- munity. Thus far, Collier has published three poet- ry collections (The Clasp and Other Poems, 1986; The Folded Heart, 1989; and most recently The Snghbor, 1995). He has also edited The Weslryan Tradition: Four Decades of American Poetry (1993) and is currently working on a prose piece enti- tled The Dream of Water. Collier's publishing history extends far beyond this, though. He has been published steadily since 1980 in such journals as New England Review, Boston Review and Southern Review. As a result of his creative efforts, Collier has earned several honorary recognitions that have helped support his writing. He was a 1984 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship, won the Margaret Bridgcman Scholar in Poetry in 1981 at the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference (an organization which he currently directs), and received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1995. Since earning his B.A. at Connecticut College in 1976 and his M.F.A. at the University of Arizona in 1979, Collier has kept busy. He has worked on several literary panels, given lectures at several colleges, and has vol- unteered his services to many professional organizations, including working as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts. Collier is currently a professor of English at the University of Maryland, College Park. The Writers Reading Series strives to bring professional writers who are very active in their profession and who have much to offer to other aspiring writers to Greenville. Other planned writers for the scries include Allan Gurganus on Feb. 13 and Sue Standing on March 24. Take part in this worthwhile effort and come hear Michael Collier read on Monday, Jan. 27. There will be a Meet the Writer pro- gram at 3 p.m. in the Greenville Museum of Art, located at 802 South Evans Street. The actual reading will be at 7 p.m. in the Willis Building, located at 300 1st Street. The read- ing will be followed by a reception and book sale.

PHOTO COURTESY OF WRITERS READIN6 SERIES Local music scene rejuvenated by Squirrel Nut Zippers Jay Myers LIFESTYLE EDITOR Ladies and gentlemen of the Emerald City, your attention please. If you were not in attendance for the performances given at the Attic last Thursday night, then you should bemoan the fact. The Squirrel Nut Zippers were assuredly the best act to entertain Greenville in quite some time. And who knows? We may never see their like again. OK, let's drop the fancy talk. The Squirrel Nut Zippers took the Attic by storm Thursday, plain and simple. The show opened with The Blue Rags from Boone, NC, an outfit that plays an interesting array of blue- grass, ragtime, and Appalachian folk. They even covered an old tune called "Salty Dog" that was made popular by the Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show (definitely a North Carolina band). Although their set was festive and got the crowd danc- ing, they still have some fine-tuning to do. Maybe their new album on Sub Pop records will allow them the time to find their direction. Now on to the real reason I went the show. I've never seen such a large and enthusiastic crowd show up for the Squirrel Nut Zippers. The crowd was �o tightly packed that there was hardly any room to dance. Yet, the The Squirrel Nut Zippers filled the Attic to capacity last Thursday night, proving that musical diversity is desired in the Emerald City. PHOTO COURTESY OF MAMMOTH RECORDING COMPANY audience was so into the music that they found a way to make room for dancing. The Squirrel Nut Zippers'll make ya wanna shake yer booty every time, guaranteed. At first, the wiry and demonic vocalistguitarist James Mathus dissed the crowd by shouting "Hello, Greensboro but the mistake was quickly corrected by Katharine Whalen. Of course she knew because as Whalen, the sultry and sexy vocal- ist and banjo player, told me after the show, "I was born in Greenville. You can put that in your article But more on that later. Whalen, Maxwell and Mathus, as well as Ken Mosher (vocals & saxo- phone), Chris Phillips (drums), and newcomer Stu Cole (bass), ripped through their repertoire without stopping qnce in a set that lasted over 2 hours. In lightning succession, the band sped through most of their "hot jazz" tunes, such as "Good Enough for Granddad "Wash review Jones "Got My Own Thing Now and "Bad Businessman (They even came back for a pretty long encore.) Interspersed between these jumping ditties were other, slower songs like the beautiful "Twilight" and "It .Ain't You which allowed Whalen to show off her vocal talents to their utmost. I simply can't say enough about Whalen. She was mar- SEE ZIPPERS. PAGE 10 Travolta keeps Michael flying Dale Williamson ASSISTANT LIFESTYLES EDITOR Angels were hot last Christmas. These heav- enly beings spread their wings not only throughout most holiday decorations but also across Hollywood's silver screens. Tinsel Town's producers must have seen the Christmas season as the golden opportunity to exploit interests in angels since two high- ly publicized Christmas films featured two of Hollywood's most bankable leading actors as God's messengers. Denzel Washington portrayed an angel in Penny Marshall's big-budget film The Preachers Wife, but lukewarm reviews and less-than-spectacular box office returns forced this production to quickly fly away from theaters. The other angelic film, however, man- aged to wow audiences and become a certi- fied hit, despite mixed reviews from the critical community. Michael, which stars John Travolta as the archangel Michael, still thrives at the box office, including our local theaters. Unfortunately, unless you are a die- hard Travolta junkie (as 1 am), Michael may be best left for a quiet night's viewing on video as opposed to a more expensive trip to the theater. Michael does have several strong ele- ments, making it a film worth seeing. The basic premise, for instance, carries much potential. A down-on-his-luck tabloid reporter (admirably played by William Hurt) receives a strange letter from a woman who claims that she has an angel living with her. Seeing this as an opportunity to get a catchy story that will sell papers, Hurt and his part- ner (Robert Pastorelli) plan to catch an angel. But boss man Bob Hoskins insists that Andie MacDowell tag along because she is an "angel expert Thus the trip begins. When these reporters reach their desti- nation, they discover (to their shocked amazement) a real angel, wings and all, but not the kind of angel one sees on Christmas cards. Michael turns out to be a portly, dishevelled, and slightly dirty being who constantly smokes cigarettes and indulges in such earthly pleasures as eating without much (if any) discipline. Yet, Michael has an irresistible charm that hypnotizes those around him, especially women. No matter, though. He's an angel, and that's good enough for a story. Hurt and company convince Michael to accompany them back to Chicago so the paper can start a series of stories on him. Michael, of course, insists on driving SEE MICHAEL PAGE 10 ANDY TURNER SENIOR WRITER In a world that made sense, Billy Ray Cyrus would only be wigglin' his ass for Milli Vanilli in a special prison reserved for no-talent, money-grubbing, devil whores. In a world that made sense, the Backsliders would rule the charts and take names in Nashville. But the world doesn't make sense. You know, though, even if it is just for 11 songs, the Backsliders' debut full-length album, Throwin' Rocks at the Moon, makes the world make sense. The album, produced by Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam, Meat Puppets), shows off the band's var- ied influences, ranging from Johnny Cash to Johnny Thunders to Johnnie Walker. With Throwin' Rocks at the Moon, the Backsliders continue the hard- core honky-tonkin' that dominated last fall's six-song EP, From Raleigh, North Carolina. The new album, however, also serves up several heartaching, four-in-the-morning, my-baby-done-me-wrong-again- and-again songs ("Lonesome Teardrops "Crazy Wind "Broken Wings"). Guitarist Steve Howell and frontman Chip Robinson serve as chief songwriters on the album and prove themselves a dynamic duo. All 11 songs are memorable for their lyrical and musical content. It's horse-turd free. The fast songs keep the train rollin' that Sun Records started. The album starts with "My Baby's Gone which features a chunk-a- chunk choo-choo beat that even the Man in Black would be proud of. The band continues its mission to convince you to replace your Doc Martens with cowboy boots on the title track "Throwin Rocks at the Moon" and the more obvious "Cowboy Boots where Robinson asks the age old question, "Where in the hell are my cowboy boots?" Hungover and shoeless, it's a damn shame. SEE BACKSLIDERS. PAGE 10 Derek T. Halle SENIOR WRITER Well Uncle Bingo, I mean Uncle Mingo, is on the scene with their third release to date, Little Baby Brother. After being played on a series of radio stations all across the east coast, the quartet from Charleston, S.C. feels as if their sound is better than ever. Let's see if that's true. The album starts off with a song called "Friends Isn't that precious. A song simply about surviving "with the ones we leave behind How the hell do you do that? Live in the past there, buddy. And drown in it. The album then proceeds to take a turn in the same direction (i.e. no turn whatsoever). "Super Stupid Things" is the second song of the album. "When did you slip away?" You lost me guys after the first chorus. Maybe this could have been a great title track for the record. The song "Better Days (A Song For Sydney)" has made Sydney proud I'm sure, whoever she is. With lyrics like "Sydney's mother takes her hand, says Sydney now I understand. Things shouldn't be this way. Things shouldn't be this hard. Things shouldn't get you down, the way it does to some. The best days of your life have yet to come Sydney's sure to be smitten. Watch out, somebody's not sleepin' alone tonight. Yeah, right. The name Uncle Mingo apparent- ly comes from a blues man named Uncle Mingo that came to .America in 1855 and departed in 1930. Not much to say about why the band would choose a name such as this, but I'm sure old Uncle Mingo is just as proud as can be. Byron Moore plays bass and sings lead on the record. This gives them that Winger twist. Jason Moore plays alto saxophone and keys, Scott Quattlebaum plays guitar, and Robert Thom jams out on the drums. The band plays under the genre of funk and punk, a title which certainly has absolutely nothing to do with the sound of this album. The band has its moments, but they're all in the live show, which is the premiere problem for most roots rock bands these days. These bands are incredible and work SEE MINGO.

OK, you're say- ing, I knew there was something fundamen- tally wrong with our society. All right then. What I really meant was I found something else fundamentally wrong, and as a writer and a critic, I found it disturbing and unpleasant. ' I was having a conversation with a few friends, and we began talking about recent movies. I brought up Jerry Maguire, which I had seen, and 1 commented that it was a "hor- rible" movie. My friends all looked at me strangely and began to argue with me, declar- ing that, no, it wasn't a horrible movie. After all, millions of people have paid to see it. How can it be horrible? As I began to support my assertion with relevant facts from the movie (weak character development, lack of focus in the screenplay, wooden acting by Tom Cruise) I was told to "shut up and then was again reminded that millions of people had gone to see it, therefore it must ue a good movie. Now, the evidence supports the fact that it is a good ticket-seller, but a good ticket seller is not always a good movie, and as the millions of New Kids on the Block fans revealed to us all, large masses of people can actually pay money for crap. I pointed out the fact that people regularly like bad movies and I was then told that I had uttered "the stupidest thing I have ever said Which is, J suppose, a compliment, because what I said was true, and most people don't get to have something true as their stupidest comment. The discussion quickly degenerated, and the last word said in the conversation came from somewhere near Mars, and it went something like this: one friend said, "you gave your opinion, and 1 gave mine, and when you wouldn't quit giving your opinion, I had to leave" (which wasn't entirely true: he had to leave to drive someone home). This was about the time that 1 began to SEE SCREAM PAGE 8 8 Tuesday.

But if you think coming inside during the fall and winter months will help you escape from allergens, think again.

You see, of the peo- ple discussing the film, I was the only one who had actually watched it. The fact that I had seen the movie and no one else had did not seem to make a difference in the value of our statements. And then I realized it went a bit deeper, because I had never once brought my opinion of the movie into it. I then realized that something was wrong. At least once a week, I write a review of something, be it music or a movie, or a book, for the readers of this publication. Never once in my writing have I allowed my opinion to enter into the writing. Nobody cares about my subjective emotional likes or dislikes. They want to know if the product is good, not if I like it. Opinions are subjective, and I could have any number of strange reasons for liking something. To allow my opinion to cloud my assess- ment of something I am reviewing would be highly unprofessional and unethical. Beavis and Butthead offer their opinions all the time. They sound like this: "uhhhh, this sucks What disturbs me is that for some reason, a thesis, well-informed and supported by research and evidence has no more weight or bearing in our society than some drooling moron saying "uhhhh. this rocks The fact that three peopie who have never seen a movie can tell me I am wrong for asserting that the movie was bad solely on their opin- ions, rather than on a well-devel- oped argument based on evidence, tains a major allergen. The source of the allergen is the dust mite, a micro- scopic, insect-like creature that lives in the dust found in mattresses, pil- lows, carpets and upholstered furni- ture. Their waste product is an aller- gen that affects many people. The good news is that there are many steps you can take to rid your home of these contaminants. Here are some important steps you can take to reduce your exposure to allergens. � Avoid deep plush fabrics that can collect allergens including mold strikes me as a little weird. The fact that they didn't even understand the difference between opinion and skilled debate is somehow beyond me, but it suddenly brings into focus why it is that O.J. Simpson is not in jail, why millions of voters do not demand better candidates, and why, in spite of all good sense, millions of people are smoking crack right now. Who cares about justice? After all, my opinion of justice is different from yours. End of discussion. Who cares about political integrity? In my opin- ion, a man who sexually harasses women, dodges the draft, embezzles money, and lies to his constituents is a good man for President. Who cares about health? In my opinion, crack makes me feel good. And who cares � Encase pillows and mattresses in allergy-proof covers � Keep windows closed when pollen counts are high � Vacuum daily and dust with damp cloth � Avoid use of fans that may just recirculate dust-filled air � Ventilate dryers to outdoors to keep dust from circulating in the house � Install a dehumidifier in damp areas of the house to prevent the growth of mold spores and dust mites. whether or not a movie is good? Who cares if you've seen it? All I know is, everybody else likes it. It must be good. Well fine. Waste your money.

Don't come crying to me when every politician in Washington cheats you out of your last dime. Don't come crying to me when you suffer brain damage from all the cocaine in your system.

January 21. 1997 lifestyle The East Carolinian ZIPPERS continued from page 7 velous, from her oriental dress that called up visions of the sexy "Miss Scarlet" from the old Clue boardgame, to her voice which evoked divas long dead. During a short chat I had with Whalen after the show, she informed me that they would be putting out a new album this summer (June or July) with approximately 12 new tracks, but they don't have a title for it yet. Judging by the fresh, inviting sound of the few latest songs they chose to play during their set, the new album should be a knockout. Their show certainly was. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was the best show I've ever seen in Greenville. Period. No if's, and's or but's. Admittedly, I haven't gone to that many shows here. Mostly I travel to Chapel Hill or Raleigh to fulfill my live musical needs. Why? Because Greenville's live music scene, for the most pan, sucks. Every place down- town books the same kind of musical choice - roots rock, beach music, clas- sic rock, or Grateful Dead wannabes. Enough already! How many times can you listen to the same crap over and over again without throwing up? Personally, my stomach churned up all it could long ago. If the turnout at the Squirrel Nut Zippers show is any indication of how responsive Greenville is and will be to new musical choices, then I rec- ommend that the local club owners take notice: Greenville is ready for a change in the status quo and you stand to make a great deal of money if you take the risk. Otherwise, that money will find its way into the hands of the owners of The Cat's Cradle and The Ritz, who book eclectic musicians on a regular basis. Believe me, if things don't change, that's where my hard-earned money (and respect) will be. BACKSLIDERS continued from page 7 MICHAEL continued from page 7 instead of flying (he wants to see the world's biggest ball of yarn), so the film becomes a soul-searching road picture. Like I said earlier, the premise has potential, and maybe in different hands these potentials could have been fully realized. But writerdirector Nora Ephron has the story meander about without any strong sense of direction and she lay- ers much of the film with the same sappiness that drowned her other hit film. Sleepless m Seattle. The romance between Hun and MacDowell, for instance, seems forced and cliched. There never is a sense of true love between these two characters. Instead, their relationship is strung together by thin, cheesy one-liners that work better on Hallmark greet- ing cards. A central problem with Michael is the fact that Hurt's character is underdeveloped. One of the reasons Michael is on Earth is to help Hurt once again become a trusting, loving human being, but not enough back- ground information is established on Hun's character. As a result, one is left with a vague understanding of the character and little sympathy for his situation. Making matters worse. MacDowell's performance is so bland that she doesn't make for an appealing romantic interest. A char- acter who secretly desires to be countrywestern songwriter could be fun to play, but watching MacDowell sing such lyrics as "My tire was flat and so was our love" is simply painful. But all is not lost. The thrusting force of the film revolves around the character of Michael, and only an actor with Travolta's charisma and charm could pull it off. As Michael, Travolta is the clown, the sex symbol, the icon and the embodiment of human compassion. Michael loves the Eanh and everything the Earth has to offer. He feels and hears the Earth breathe, and the thought tak- ing such a joy for granted deeply dis- turbs him. That is why Michael indulges in such trivialities as seeing the world's largest non-stick frying pan and eat- ing pie. He is an angel who has bat- tled Satan during the greatest war in heaven, yet he is also an angel who enjoys simple things in life, such as sugar, laughter and dancing. Travolta imbues his character with such vibrant energy that the screen is almost empty when he isn't on it. I don't know if that is a tribute to Travolta or a weakness of the film. All I know is that this film is lucky to have Travolta in it. I clearly can see why Mkhael is a hit at the box office. The film is innocent, fun and filled with hope. And, as a Travolta fan, I'm glad Johnny Boy tackled the part of an angel. Still, any film that relies so heavily on a single player is lacking. My advice to all interested is see Michael when it hits the video mar- ket. Video won't diminish all that's good in this film, and maybe the bad elements won't seem so glaring on the small screen. Producer Pete Anderson's west coast connection is shown on the Buck-Owens-is-back-in-town influ- enced number, "If You Talk to My Baby Anderson does a wonderful job of preserving the atmosphere that the Backsliders deliver live.

After 9 PM Dine In Only DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE - ALL ABC PERMITS - 757-1666 11 Tuesday, January 21, 1997 s The East Carolinian Falcons announce new haed coach ATLANTA (AP) - Dan Reeves will be introduced as the coach of the Atlanta Falcons today. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported today. The newspaper said Reeves, fired by the New York Giants following a 6- 10 season, will sign a five-yeat contract worth $7.5 million-$8 million, and will have the titles of coach and director of football operations. Reeves, also a former coach of the Denver Broncos, has been believed to be the favorite for the job since former San Diego coach Bobby Ross turned it down. Ross, also a former Georgia Tech coach, accepted the job with the Detroit Lions last week after interviewing with the Falcons. Atlanta fired June Jones after a 3-13 season. De La Hoya Keeps Title LAS VEGAS (AP) - Oscar De La Hoya, using a punishing left jab to set the tone for the fight, dominated formerly unbeaten Miguel Angel Gonzalez for 12 rounds Saturday night to keep the 140-pound title he won from Julio Cesar Chavez. De La Hoya never could put the game challenger down, but turned in a masterful boxing performance using mainly his left hand to win a lopsided 12-round decision in his first fight since beating Chavez seven months ago. Only in the late rounds was Gonzalez, who had never lost in 41 previous fights, able to do anything against De La Hoya, who seemed to coast after building a huge early lead. In winning, De La Hoya finished off the last of a quartet of Mexican champions and set up a planned April 12 fight with WBC welterweight champion Pernell Whitaker. "Now I can concentrate on Whitaker De La Hoya said. Unlike Chavez and the others, however, Gonzalez was able to finish the fight, taking De La Hoya the distance for only the third time in 23 pro fights despite taking a beating nearly every round. New Coach offensively minded SAN DIEGO (AP) - Kevin Gilbride's reputation for offensive ingenuity pre- ceded him to San Diego. With Gilbride as the new head coach. Chargers fans - and players - can finally look beyond the sputtering, even boring offense that dragged the club to an 8-8 record last season. "After watching all the things in Houston and everything he did in Jacksonville, it looks like it's going to be kind of a wide-open, exciting kind of offense quarterback Stan Humphries said Sunday. Gilbride, 45, was Jacksonville's offensive coordinator the last two seasons, and was a big reason the Jaguars reached the AFC championship game in just their second season. Prior to that he was offensive coordinator of the Houston Oilers for four seasons, then assistant head coach-offense for two vears. Gilbride's hiring was announced in San Diego on Saturday, and he spoke with reporters via conference call from Jacksonville. Gilbride flew to Palm Springs on Sunday to meet owner Alex Spanos and son Dean, the club's pres- ident, for the first time, then headed to San Diego. Gilbride will spend this week assembling his staff. Could Super Bowl be it for Parcells in New England? BOSTON (AP) - The Bill Parcells era with the New England Patriots, a four- year reign in which he took the team from a 2-14 record to the Super Bowl, will end after Sunday's title game, according to a published report. In a story citing unidentified sources, Boston Globe writer Will McDonough said the situation between Parcells and Patriots owner Bob Kraft could end up in court. Parcells reportedly is being targeted by the New York Jets for their coach- ing opening. Before this season, Parcells asked to have the final year deleted from his five-year contract. Kraft agreed. Parcells has refused consistently to discuss his future, saying he and Kraft would talk about it after the season. At a news conference Sunday night after the Patriots arrived in New Orleans, Parcells said his decision would not depend on the outcome of the Super Bowl. Parcells would command a very lucrative salary if he left the Patriots. "In the free agent market, timing is everything, so he'll be the high guy on everybody's wish list" if he leaves. Patriots offensive captain Bruce Armstrong said. "Whatever the top guy is getting, (Parcells) will be the new top guy Robert Irsay laid to rest INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - For all his gruffness, Robert Irsay could still manage a joke when things looked darkest for his Indianapolis Colts. As the NFL team slid toward a disastrous 1-15 season in 1991, Irsay, a life- long Roman Catholic, told team chaplain Patrick J. Kelly, "If we don't start to win, I'm going to become a Presbyterian When the Colts finally turned into winners in the 1995 season, Irsay was too ill to sit in the owners box. Disabled by a stroke in November 1995, he struggled 14 months before dving Tuesday of heart and kidney failure at age 73. At his funeral Saturday, a display of white and blue-dyed carnations - the colors of the Indianapolis Colts - arranged in the team's horseshoe logo stood before the pulpit at St. Luke Catholic Church, a reminder to mourners of Irsav's florid devotion to football. Negura tested positive for steroids BUCHAREST. Romania (AP) - Romanian lulia Negura tested positive for steroids after winning the European women's cross country title last month, officials said today. Negura has been suspended pending an investigation, and if the positive result is confirmed, she would be stripped of her title and banned for four years. The Romanian Athletics Federation said Negura tested positive twice in December, both times for the steroid stanozolol - the same drug that got Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson kicked out of the 1988 Olympics. Super Bowl Advertisers Perfect home record stands Amanda Ross SPORTS EDITOR The men's basketball team (11-3, 4-1 in the CAA) kept alive its home unbeaten streak (8-0) Saturday afternoon, after handing Richmond a 69-64 loss in Minges Coliseum. ECU got off to a slow start and for almost six minutes their only points recorded on the board were from a Raphael Edwards basket underneath. With 14:22 left Morris Grooms ended the drought with a lay up. Edwards started his first game this season against the Spiders in the place of Grooms. But don't think there is any bad blood between the two. They each learn from each other. "Mo and I think we play very- similar Edwards said. "I like play- ing with him. We make each other better in practice Grooms agrees and says the two are always helping each other out. "We work together just like one whether we're in the game or out Grooms said. Head Coach Joe Dooley was pleased with the intensity Grooms put out on the court despite not getting the start. "Morris played very hard and very smart. He played with a lot of enthusiasm Dooley said. Offensively the Pirates moved the ball around better midway through the first and began to get their shots 'o fall. But from outside of the three point arc the Pirates' shooting was cold. In the first half, ECU went 1-8 from three point land. Tim Basham had the only three of the half with 1:15 left. Overall the Pirates shot .438 percent in the first and went 7-13 from the free throw line.

McDonald's, however, is sitting out this year's game. Even at a record $40,000 per second, the nation's biggest soft drink and fast-food companies have wallets fat enough to afford Super Bowl commer- cial time any year they want. But their split decision shows that price isn't the only factor when adver- tisers decide whether to climb aboard a program that typically draws televi- sion's biggest audience of the year. Timing is also important. Advertisers who have something new to sell or an inventive new way to make their case say that justifies paying the steep price.

Grooms and Peters led the way with eight poinrs each and Jonathan Kerner contributed six. Richmond coach Bill Dooley. knew this game would be a chal- lenge for his squad. "They're a tough team and you've got to be tough when you play them Dooley said. The Pirates proved that tough- ness in the second half jumping on their lead when Edwards, Grooms and Othello Meadows hit three straight jumpers to give ECU a 42- 35 lead. Richmond battled back and evened up the score with 14:19 left at 47 a piece, but that was the clos- est the Spiders would come as ECU continued to find the bottom of the net, and recorded another victory, 69-64. ECU again outrebounded its opponent 41-36. Kerner pulled down 10 of those boards, while Grooms and Peters grabbed six each. Kerner, who hasn't recorded double digits in the points category for the past six games, added 13 points to go along with his rebounds. "I'm glad to come out and have a good game tonight Kerner said. His teammates agreed. "Jonathan played excellent tonight Grooms said. "He played well both offensively and defen- sively Other top scorers were Peters with 12, Grooms with 11 and Meadows with 10. The Pirates will hit the floor tonight in another CAA matchup when James Madison, (9-5, 3-2 in the CAA) comes to town. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. in Minges.

Finishing only two and a half points ahead of Richmond, Saturday's match-up was a close one.

Sandra Ossman, a junior from Charlotte says that determination was the key to coming out on top in what was considered bv most to be one of the toughest meetings of the season. "Everyone swam with a big heart on Saturday Ossman said. "You could tell just by watching everyone swim that this was a meet that was really important to us and that we were determined to win On Sunday, the Pirates came back once again to claim victory in a sprint meet against the College of Charleston. Sprint meets are held once or twice a year and are held to prepare the swimmers for the con- ference championship, where both 100's and 200's are swam.

On Friday, the distance runners and the sprinters took to the track against teams like nationally ranked Carolina and powerhouses like St. Augustine's, who placed fifth in Division II competition. "1 wasn't excepting a lot this weekend: we just wanted to find out some of the other areas we needed to work on and improve from there Justice said. Then on Saturday, the field events took place.

According to Mackwood, the highlight of Sunday's meet was that every single women's event swam was won by an ECU swimmer. Next weekend, the Pirates will face UNC Wilmington. As the biggest and perhaps most important meeting of the season, the team is out for revenge. In last year's match-up, Wilmington came out ahead of ECU by only one point. "I think that the most exciting event will be the sprint freestyles Mackwood said. "Lots of points are awarded for these events, and we have been very strong in this area so far this season Mackwood encourages the stu- dents and faculty of ECU to keep their eyes open and focused on the swimmers. "What we are doing is something really great that says a lot for ECU Mackwood said. "Our program is growing because athletes and coach- es alike all put in everything they have got. No one relies on anyone else, and that is how our goals are achieved After spending most of Christmas break training in Florida, each member of the team has devel- oped great endurance and the men- tal toughness that is going to be needed to finish their season as the conference champions.
