ROYSTER ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR An ECU alumnus collapsed on the basketball court at the student recreation center Tuesday night. Paramedics and recreation staff tried to resuscitate him before his trans- port to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Kevin Banks graduated from ECU with a degree in criminal justice in 1994. He was currently enrolled in the master's program Out-of-state students feel cash pinch AMENA HASSAN ORIENTATIONGENERAL COLLEGE ISSUES Because of the increase in tuition for all stu- dents, out-of-state students may be feeling the bum of higher costs this year. Compared to the $874 that in-state residents are paying, non-res- idents will be paying $8,028 this spring semes- ter. "1 don't really mind paying the amount stu- dent Robert Earl said. "But I think it's a little absurd that the amount is so high Although the amount is high, it is not ECU that sets the tuition rate. According to the University Comptroller, Dan Bishop, the North Carolina Legislature establishes the tuition rate every year. "But the students still have to pay and the state does not give a lot of tax support Bishop said. Holly Jones, a non-resident student, siad she feels that the out-of-state fees aren't phenome- nal. "It's cheaper than my in-state tuition and it really doesn't bother me she said. Other students feel that the high in state fees of other states such as New York or Colorado do not justify the out of state tuition rates. "Originally I was supposed to go to a private college and I would be paying an amount of upward $20,000 student Michael LeTellier said. "I'm saving nearly eight grand but com- pared to what in-state students are paying, the rate is a rip off The main reason for the difference in out-of- state and in-state tuition is the payment of state income tax by North Carolina residents. "In- state residents and their parents pay income taxes which heavily subsidize the cost of their education said Richard Brown, vice chancellor for Business Affairs. "The only difference for out-of-state students is that they have to pay the full cost of their tuition directly to the uni- versity, and, over the long haul, in state and out- of-state students will probably pay the same amount because of the discrepancy due to income taxes for those who are on the borderline of in- state and out of state, and have been classified as out-of-state, the university has an appeals process that the student can utilize. "Right now roughly 50 percent of all stu- dents that appeal are approved through the appeals process said Residency Classification Officer Jackie Harris. "We have an application that the student completes and then it is pretty much a judgment call by me. After I inform the students of the decision, the non-resident stu- dents can go through an appeals committee who makes the final decision Students can submit any additional informa- tion they feel is relevant to their case. If the stu- dent request is rejected, the student has the option of going to the general administration in Chapel Hill or can even hire an attorney. "After a while, you wonder if it's worth it to pay those extra thousands of dollars just to go to school in North Carolina, but the student loans definitely make the amount more feasible said non-resident Edward Gargurevich.

Banks played defensive end for the Pirates during the 82-83 football season. "He played before the Peach Bowl, when the Pirates were on that winning streak. He held the record for most tackles in a season for a while. The knee surgery was probably the only thing that kept him from going pro said Joe Capella, Banks' roommate. Banks was a member of many health clubs. He attended many different facilities and had begun going to the student recreation center here because of his Alumni status and his continuing school spirit. " I can't understand how this could hap- pen. He was one of the most health con- scious people I know. He worked out a lot and was really active. He even won a few rac- quetbail 'ournaments. He never smoked or drank said Capella. Another of Banks' roommates, Pete Rivera, said Banks won numerous racquetball tournaments in the coed division in both Greenville and Wilmington. Rivera vvas Banks' roommate for over five years. Rivera wants Banks to be remembered as a generous and considerate man. "He would give you the shirt off his back Rivera said. "When my car broke down once, he gave me his for a week. He prepaid his rent and bills three months in advance just because that is the kind of guy he was. If he ordered food or went to the refrigerator he always asked if he could get the rest of us any- thing. He was the most thoughtful human being I've ever known Banks worked at Cubbie's downtown when it first opened. He was also a Greenville Police officer for a time. Banks was employed at Pitt County Mental Health, working as a rehabilitation technician for the Genesis Program. It is a program specifically designed to work with the special needs of emotionally and behaviorally handicapped children. In addition to his work with children dur- ing the day, he also volunteered in the Big Brother program. "He was a mentor for the kids. He took them on trips to the zoo and theme parks like Carowinds. He was planning a trip to Washington DC for them said Capella. With all of his community service, it is believed that he will be missed. "He was a good person that people really seemed to like. I mean, every time that we would go to Wal- Mart, five or six people had to stop us and say 'Hi' to him said Rich Buell, another of Banks' room- mates. In Wednesday's edition of The Daily Reflector , the results of Banks' autopsy showed he suf- fered from sar- coidosis, a rare form of heart disease. Rivera said the roommates are trying to plan a memorial service for Banks at Hendrix theater this Friday at 1:00 p.m. Kevin Banks ECU officials shed light on discrimination claim Housekeepers' discontent may be ending SCOTT HOPKINS STAFF AND FACULTY ISSUE COREY ALGOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITE Housekeepers in Jenkins fine Art building. Brands King and Tim Wayne, break to pose for our photographer. PH0T0 BY PATRICK iREUN Racial discrimination has been an issue in Greenville and in the state repeatedly over the last few years, and now the epidemic may have come to ECU. Manv people aren't really aware of the ECU housekeepers that float through class build- ings and resident halls, and many less would be aware of any racial or discriminative prob- lems. "The prejudicethe problems with the money and the Marriot taking ovcc.it just doesn't click with me said Lee Barren, a housekeeper for two years at Garrett hail. In April 1996, ECU housekeepers joined a rally against the privatization of university housekeeping, and after the rally, filed griev- ances regarding discrimination and racial slurs against housekeepers. "Of the 186 housekeepers employed by ECU, there have been a number of grievances filed. However, of those only 20 have been filed by the Housekeepers Association' which has grievances about racial slurs and discrimi- nation said Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Richard Brown. According to Brown, there are two different forms of grievances that the university has received. One set of issues from the eeneral housekeepers staff regards issues such as qual- iry of uniforms that are provided by the uni- versity, quality of cleaning materials, working conditions, and the intensity of supervision. The other set of grievances filed by the SEE CLAIM. PAGE 4 Non-student attested for Belk Hall stabbing JEFF GENTRY SAFETY AND TRANFORT ISSUES An 18-year-old man from Middlesex was arrested early Friday morning after allegedly stabbing two ECU students in the hallway of Suite 201 in Belk Hall. John Charles Dowling. of 8 Crocker's Nub Rd was arrested shortly after 1:00 a.m. at Pitt County Memorial Hospital after he was treated for injuries to his hands. Dowling, who was visiting friends at ECU, has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, which is a felony crime. He is being held in the Pitt County Detention Center, and bond has been set at $20,000. The victims, Joseph John Cunningham, 21, and Justin Kincaid Little, 18, were also treat- ed at PCMH. They received severe cuts to the midsection and the legs. "Any injury to the stomach area, especially injuries like this, can be potentially life threat- ening said Assistant Director of the ECU Police Department Tom Younce. Little told police that he had returned to his room and found Dowling and his girlfriend there. Dowling then whispered in Little's ear, and the situation turned violent. ECU Police Sgt. Mike Jordan said, "Words were exchanged, and it just went on from there Dowling and Little began fighting, and it spilled into the hallway of the suite. Cunningham tried to separate the two, and Dowling allegedly pulled out the brown pock- etknife. After being cut, Little and Cunningham went to Scott Residence Hall and called for help. Greenville Fire and Rescue Squad then responded to the scene and carried the two to the hospital. Dowling turned himself in to ECU Police shortly after the incident occurred. He was also taken to the hospital for injuries sustained to his hands in the fight and was then arrest- ed. ECU Police report there was no alcohol involved in the incident. If convicted, Dowling could be sentenced to prison for any- where from 5-30 years.

The tanker was discovered to be leaking the highly flammable acid after a Monroe police officer pulled the truck over. The officer pulled the truck about 4 a.m. after noticing a strong odor, WSOC television station in Charlotte reported. Pblice also evacuated a business and nearby home because of concerns about the explosive nature of the chemical. All lanes of the highway were nearly an hour, but were reopened by 5 a.m the television station reported. ERIKA SWARTS HOUSINGCONSl'MATORY SERVICES In the past year several programs have been created to help launch ECU into the 21st century. One such program is the Multi- Media Instruction Initiative. This program is being funded by a state grant that totals $300,000. The grant money was divided between 24 faculty members. Each member received their own multimedia lap- top computer. They also received one video production projector to share. The video production unit will be used in classrooms to project multi-media images onto a movie size screen. "Our success with this project will set the stage for the allocation of more resources to assist instruc- tional technology in the future said vice chancellor for Business Affairs Richard Brown.

(AP) - Dim the lights, put on the soft music, pour the champagne and break out the green M&Ms. Candymaker M&M-Mars is hoping, in an ad debuting during the Super Bowl pregamc show Sunday, to breathe new life into an old myth that green- coated M&Ms hold the powers of an aphrodisiac. The character is an animated, talking green M&M with mascaraed eye- lashes, sensuous lips and white go-go boots. Similar ads have featured ani- mated blue, red and yellow candies. R�d industry analyst Marvin Roffman of Philadelphia said the campaign was a good response to provocative advertising by Hershey, the nation's No. 1 confectioner. Green M&Ms have been part of the candy mix since it was introduced in 1949, but nobody knows how the aphrodisiac rumor started, D'Amato said. EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA BEIJING (AP) - Soldiers and villagers worked in bitter cold today digging out people and livestock buried in rubble from two earthquakes in western Chi� that killed 12 people and injured 175. More than 2.500 families camped in tents or slept on school floors after the magnitude 6.4 and 6.3 quakes struck the Jiashi region, near the city of Kashgar, one after the other Tuesday morning. The western part of Xinjiang, where the quakes hit, is 2,000 miles west of Beijing. Among cities shaken was Kashgar, an oasis on the Silk Road link- ing China to the Mediterranean. SEE MHINf. PAGE 4 Philly protests cookie sales TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - If you're looking for Thin Mints and Samoas in the Philadelphia suburb of Mount Laurel, keep looking. Leaders of 27 Girl Scout troops in southern New Jersey have begun a sales slowdown as a protest after their governing council denied them an extra dime per box from the proceeds. The slowdown appears unprecedented in 61 years of annual cookie sales by the 2.5 million-member organization, which sold 174 million boxes of Do- si-dos and other treats in the United Stares and its territories last year. "I'm not aware of (anything like) that at all any place in the country Marianne Haw, spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, said Tuesday. The trouble in Mount Laurel, a middle-class city of 31,000, began in November when community coordinator Jan Snyder said her troops weren't satisfied with the 50 cerfts they received per $3 box sold - even though that was up from 40 cents last year. Snyder requested 60 cents per box from the South Jersey Pines council, in exchange for a guaranteed sales average of 110 boxes per scout. "Wfe feel (the council) has been taking advantage of them. They need to give us more money and they need to operate on less Snyder said. "It was really too late to act on it this year council spokeswoman Joanne Goldy said, because sales were starting Jan. 10. The council governs 11,000 scouts in six southern New Jersey counties. Besides, she said, the council administrators did not want to be unfair to other troops. "How would the people in the next town feel if they weren't offered the same thing Twenty-seven Scout troops are selling only the minimum 12 boxes required to participate in other Scout fund-raising. Eight troops in Mount Laurel are ignoring the slowdown. The sale ends Feb. 17. Currently, the bakery gets 81 cents per box, troops get 50 cents, and the council spends the remaining $1.69 on maintaining three Scout camps and other properties, recruiting and training troop leaders, fund-rais- ing and administration.

BGONE, N.C. (AP) - A first-year student told officials at Appalachian State she was sexually assaulted while visiting a campus residence hall last weekend, the school said. The unidentified woman called university police about 4:30 a.m. Sunday, a news release said. No criminal charges had been filed as of Tuesday evening, the school's news bureau said. The incident is the third alleged sexual assault near the school in the last four months but the first to hap- pen on-campus. On Oct. 13, an 18-year-old stu- dent reported that three men raped her during a fraternity party at a house east of Boone rented by three students. On Oct. 19, another stu- dent told Boone police that she was raped by an acquaintance from out of state at her off-campus apartment. School officials had taken steps to improve safety on the campus, installing new street lights and emergency phones and putting cam- pus police in charge of a formerly student-run campus escort service. Chancellor Francis Borkowski announced two more initiatives Tuesday designed to "improve the campus climate for student interac- tion the news release said. Borkowski has asked the Office of Student Development to con- duct a series of "teach-ins" - semi- nars on building interpersonal rela- tionships with peers - and is form- ing a task force to study a variety of student life issues and report to him by May 1.

"A number of others were arrest- ed for solicitation of crimes against nature, which involves any homosex- ual activity Nichols said. Undercover police patrolled the park through the month of December in order to stop this activity. The Greenville Fblice plan on continuing to monitor the situa- tion for further activities or com- plaints. "One of the major reasons for the operation had to do with the prox- imity of schools in the area. Wi had received a number of complaints from parents and school officials from surrounding schools that the students were in plain sight of these activities and were being exposed to them" Nichols said. The Greenville Fblice will be cracking down on the activity on fur- ther occasions. "We will continue to patrol the park and arrest those people who approach our officers.

His stu- dents take the information from the program and turn it into interactive computer displays. This helps show Below what they have learned. According to an article in The ECU Report. Below calls the program his "Interactive Media Workbook for Finance The program features color pictures and creative ways of calculating math problems. Other growing technology pro- grams include distance learning and a Continuing Studies Program. The Distance Learning Program enables students to take classes that could lead up to a masters degree. They do this in their home using their computer. This is one of only a few programs like this in the coun- try. The program is on the World Wide Wc "d is connected through the ECU mainlijme. The Continuing Studies Program gives work! g parents the option of getting a degree from ECU. They take courses that lead up to degrees in Industrial Technology or a BVTE degree in education. The cost of these courses is comparable to the normal tuition. However, they do not charge the student fees since they are unable to take advantage of the facilities. According to Continuing Studies Director Diana Henshaw, students taking advantage of this program are verv enthusiastic. .Another technological advance- ment at ECU is the Kiosk Program. This program has been in the works for about a year now. The program places touch-screen computer ter- minals around campus. The termi- nals, which are located in Mendenhall, Austin, and soon to be in the Wright Place and the Galley give information out to students, faculty, staff and visitors. Accoding to Computing and Information System's director Blake Price, the goal of this pilot project is to enable students to look at course availability, grades and information. They are now waiting for the University to adopt the one card sys- tem. In order to keep this informa- tion confidential, students will receive a pin number and will have to insert their card. They hope to make this program available in the next year. CLAIM continued from page 1 "Housekeepers Association" regard a racial slur made by a supervisor after the rally, a desire for a base employment wage raise, promotions according to experience and service, and no privatization. "The problem of the racial slur has been looked into and appropri- ate action has been taken. The 'Association' wants the supervisor terminated but the state won't allow that on a first offense Brown said. According to Brown, the issues filed by the "Association" have been looked into. The rate hike is not a school issue but a state one. Promotions are always based upon job performance. "Sometimes job performance is not up to standard or attendance on the job is lacking; this adds to the lag in promotions Brown said. "The grievance is also out of context because we have 11 out of 14 super- visors who are .African American Chancellor Eakin sent out a memo on Jan. 14 to all the house- keeping staff and responded to the allegations of discrimination by the "Association A group of meetings was also set for housekeepers to express their opinions and problems concerning work conditions. The main problem which all of this stems from is the housekeepers fears of the school using a private contractor for housekeeping duties. This would put a large percentage of the African American population in Greenville out of work. "There is no truth to the ques- tion of privatization. The only pri- vate contract we have for house- keeping is that of Marriot Corp and those five are management supervi- sory positions that they fill Brown said. "We don't want to have to con- tract out for reliable housekeeping On Jan. 20, members of the Housekeepers Association, Coalition Against Racism (CAR) and other activist groups marched ECU to protest their issues and rights. "I don't want any part of discrim- ination; I don't believe in it Barrett said. "No matter what color a person is, I'll work with himher According to a flyer circulated, they are claiming the school is "sweeping legitimate grievances under the rug The Housekeepers Association is calling for Chancellor Eakin to meet with them to discuss their grievances.

This is a story about the towing and the parking nightmare at ECU. Imagine this: It was the first day of the spring semester. After two years at another schoo you finally transferred to ECU and attended your first class, Chemistry 1060 at 8 a.m. in the Flanagan building. At 9 a.m you waited in line for 30 minutes outside your advisor's door to get a signature in order to add another course to your schedule. Unfortunately, the computer terminal in your advisor's office could not pull up your schedule, so she sent you to the terminal in the main office of the chemistry department. After waiting 30 more minutes for the students in front of you to change their minds endless times, it was 10 a.m. and your turn. At 10:08 a.m the course was added to your schedule. At 10:13 a.m you crossed Fifth St. and headed down Biltmore St. where you left your car. Facing a dead end, with the Alpha Omicron R sorority house staring coldly before you, a sickening feeling began to rise from the pit of your stomach. Turning to stare back down Fifth St. it was obvious that your car was nowhere to be found. The sign on the side of the road read two hour parking, and at 10:15 a.m you had exceeded the allowed time. There is nothing like having your car towed to bring your day to a screech- ing halt, After several phone calls to friends willing to pick you up, a trip to the Greenville Police Station to pay a $15 fine, (which by the way also included a 45 minute wait for the tow man to complete the paperwork on a tow sheet), you were granted the privilege of paying $55 more to get your car back from the service station. Frustrated and broke, your first day at ECU sucked. What is the moral of this story? Are we supposed to feel sorry for people who can't adhere to rules? If we give people an inch will they take a mile? Certainly we are not suggesting that parking regulations should not be enforced. Yet, on the other hand, even the uni- versity recognizes that during the first week of each semester there are a lot of new peo- ple on campus. In fact, parking and traffic services is contracted with both University Amoco and University Exxon and while University Exxon could not easily come up with a number, University Amoco told TEC that on Jan. 13 they only towed one car from cam- pus. What about the Greenville Police Department? The majority of students park off campus in the maze of side streets branching off of Fifth St. A warning: this maze of streets is Greenville Police territory, and if you are illegally parked, there will be no mercy, even on the first day of a new semester. These are our views of the towing blues. What can we do to keep so many students from falling victim? While pleading to the Greenville Police Department to have mercy on ECU's students for the first couple days of school will surely fail on deaf ears, providing students with adequate parking seems to be a no-brainer. Hopes for a parking deck are squelched when the outrageous cost is con- sidered. Speaking of outrageous costs, just exactly how are all of ECU's students sup- posed to get to that new student recreation center without parking imaginatively. We suggest the university should bite the bullet and commit to either building a parking deck or buying another lot. If those ideas aren't feasible, our next suggestion is to ban Freshman from parking on campus period. We would not be the first public university in the state where freshman couldn't bring cars on campus. ECU's upperclassmen could definitely use that freshman lot and we think they would appreciate knowing that they are valued enough to at least have a few feet to park their car while patroning the uni- versity. If nothing else, adequate parking would have provided the poor first time stu- dent in the scenario above a much better first day at our magnificent university. J t pt6t Midi o( rt Etiquette of tipping OK now, let's admit that most of us college students are a little baffled with the whole idea of tipping. ( know, 1 know, there are a few of you mathematical wizards out there who can figure out what 15 percent of your hill is before you even receive your food. The question is, does your server deserve 15 percent? Better yet, does he or she deserve more? And are we suppose to tip that pizza delivery boy who promised to be there in 30 minutes? What about the cab driver who puts up with our intoxicated jabbering the entire ride? How about the hair stylist who listens as we describe how we want to took totally differ- ent, but "please don't cut too much off ?" Moat important, how much are we suppose to tip our bartenders so they will take care of us? Instead of racking my brain with these questions, 1 decided to take matters into my own hands and find out the true meaning behind the eti- quette of tipping. Now, I can enlighten you on this subject. It all cornea down to one thing, the quali- ty of the service. tea, that's right! You don't have to tip that bartender who made you the perfect Long Island Iced Tea. Who cares if that ca - driver got you downtown safely and listened to you and your friends have a belching con- test! If you don't leave a tip, then that gives you a couple extra dollars to eat that delicious greasy breakfast you've been craving since your first beer. WAKE UP my friendly tipping friends! It's time to dig in that lint filled pocket of yours, grab that extra dollar and take care of your servers. Why? These hard working servers IF HERS If) IMF EDITOR sweat ail night long just to please you. Yes, they can sometimes be a little unpleasant. However, I will tell you one thing, if you take care of your servers they will take care of you. Here's a prime example. You and your buddies are ready for a beer guzzling, liquor drinking, shot slam- ming night. No one wants to be the designated driver and you're not stu- pid enough to drink and drive in Greenville. So, you call on your trusty cab. I bet if you tip old Fred, the cab driver, a buck apiece then Fred will have the luxury limousine waiiing at the end of the night to take you back home. He may even help your drunk self out of the car. On the other hand, don't tip him and see what will happen. Your old friends, "Pat" and "Charlie will be so sore the next day, you will proba- bly have to fork out that extra money for a foot massage. How about those bartenders who are stuck behind that bar, inhaling ail your cigarette smoke and listening to you shir out your next drink order? Most bartenders will agree that when a customer rips them, he or she will get faster service. Okay, let's say that you go out to have a few drinks. You order your drink and tip that smiling bartender an extra dol- lar. You tip him or her frequently to make sure you will receive those refreshing drinks as quickly as possi- ble. Then, when it gets slammed packed in the bar and there are hun- dreds of vultures staring down that bartender for their drinks, she will look up, see your cheerful tipping face, and serve you first. Better yet, don't tip her. That way you won't need Fred, you know the friendly cab driver who helped you out of the cab, because it will take you until last call just to get the bartender's attention. My next example is our wonderful hairstylist. Guess what guys? If you take care of your hair stylist, shell take care of your most prized posses- sion, your hair! Ladies, tip her a couple dollars on your next appoint- ment, I'm not promising that you'll leave looking like one of the girls on the Pantene commercials, but it's worth a shot! Fellas, give your hair stylist a couple bucks too. You never know what they might do the next time. The last person who deserves a tip is our infamous pizza delivery person. You know, the one that you call in the middle of a hurricane because you are too scared to go out and get it on your own. These peo- ple fight all kinds of weather and traffic to bring you your delicious food. Yes, it might arrive in forty minutes instead of thirty. Yes, it might be a little cold. Tip them! That way, the next time they might even drop your pizza off before everyone else's. Folks, the truth is to dig into that grungy pocket of yours and tip a few dollars. It's called politeness. I'm not saying to tip S3 every time you buy a Bourbon and Coke. Nor am I saying to tip your waitress $20 when you only ordered potato skins. What I am saying is to take care of your server. They will remember your face and your tip. On a last note, to all of you hard- working servers out there, when a customer does tip you, make sure you smile and that you DO take care of them. Your tips will increase and the world will be a happier place. Reader supports concert review lb the Editor, Jay Myers' well put article, "Local music scene rejuvenated could not possibly come any closer to conveying my exact thoughts on downtown Greenville and its lack of culturepro- gression. What a shame that a fairly targe college city tike Greenville con- tains a music scene (or lack of) compa- rable to a small backwoods town. In feet, compared to most all major N.C college towns and cities (especially Chapel HillCarboro), we are seriously deprived of fresh talent and an innova- tive scene. For a year and a half I (as well as oth- ers) have undergone Mr. Myers' frustra- tion due to the lack of cultural diversity in Greenville (with rare exceptions like the Squirrel Nut Zippers). I have tried all the meat-market, M-TV weaned clubs and seen my fair share of Hootie- roots rock, but in my opinion, it all (like Jay so eloquently put it) "sucks Where are the eclectic elements of a down- town that this college town should pos- sess? Not to sound cliche but are there others out there that "feel my pain ?" OK, lame choice of words there.) The obvious crowd turnout and excitement for the Zippers should prompt some son of sensibility from the dub owners. Look past unique acts and the attendance that followed, including the Archers of Loaf and King Missile. Wake up downtown Greenville (or maybe sober up)! Will we continue to be subjected to a bland, Myrtle Beachish downtown, void of any intelli- gent night life? This is our city, too, let's not settle for less when there is more out there. Please attend the rare and entertaining shows we do receive; demand better clubs and line-ups; and if no compliance, let's demand that the old dubs pack up and leave (maybe go to Farmville or something). It is time for Greenville's downtown "culture" to move forward and attempt to adopt the "cutting edge" like the major North Carolina dry that it claims to be. Chris R.

January 23, 1997 lifestyle The East Carolinian Travel without leaving campus JAY MYERS LIFESTYLE EDITOR I One of the great things about our Student Union is the fact that they try to provide quality entertain- ment for our student community They don't always succeed, but they sure do try. One of the lasting traditions over at Mendenhall has been the ongoing TraveKAdventure Film and Theme Dinner Series that is offered every semester. Each film covers a different locale and each is intro- duced by a speaker who has a familiarity with the subject of the film. The theme dinner allows partic- ipants to experience some of the cuisine that is spe- cific to each culture. Last semester, the series took students and fac- ulty to such strange, majestic and faraway places as South Africa, Japan, Hawaii, and Louisiana. This spring, more exotic destinations are in store. The series opened this past Tuesday when film- maker John Holod took an audience to CzechlSlovakia: Land of Beauty and Change, covering such landmarks as Prague, the country's 1000-year- old capital; Plzen, home of the world famous Risen beer; and Bratislava, the Slovakian capital, located on the Danube River.

All of the releases from the once powerful Death Row label were either flops in sales or they were blatant copies of past per- formances. Both Dr. Dre and Snoop released follow-ups to their hit records that didn't quite follow up. The variety that once distinguished rap music as an expanding genre was somehow missing. Even the once- inventive innovators like Tribe Called Quest and Busta Rhymes released albums that weren't quite up to par. When the year's most memorable hip-hop event was a record filled with bad covers and stolen beats (The Score by the Fugees), then it has been a bad year. Except for Tricky that is. In 1995 virtuoso DJMC Tricky released his highly acclaimed debut album Maxtnquoye, a recording that opened up new doors for urban music. Filled with ambient sonic backgrounds and the smooth rapping and singing of his partner Martina, the album forged new ground in the evolution of nip-hop. Mamquaye was the cor- nerstone of the new wave of rap music, called trip-hop, a genre that transcends race and nationality In the last cold days of 1996, Tricky released the follow-up to Maxtnquoye, a darker, more jagged, and decidedly more "hip-hop" record, Pre-Millenmum Tension. Where Maxtnqnaye focused on tapestries of sound and moods, Pre-Millennium Tension brings Tricky back to his roots. There are more beats on this record, and more rap songs (not, mind you, run-of-the-mill rap songs). Tricky's sense of sound and his more quirky beats lend themselves to a very different, more musical style of rapping. Not only that, but following in the footsteps of Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Arrested Development and PM Dawn, Tricky chooses to stay away from the "party music" aspect of hip-hop and instead focuses more on spiritual, relational, and political issues. The album opens with "Vent a desperate song about the feeling of constriction in a relationship, set to a beat built of static and a fast-paced bass line with a psychedelic guitar riff in the background. And unlike the last album, Tricky opts to use his own voice rather than Martina's. She is still there, but her voice is mixed in the background to support Tricky's SEE TRICKY. PAGE 10 Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (played by Philiipe Noiret, left) greatly affects the life of postman Mario Ruoppolo (played by Massimo Troisi, right). PHOTO COURTESY OF MIRAMAX FILMS Jay Myers 'lifestyle editor Although this film did come to Greenville's Plaza cinema (mostly because of its award nominations), it played for less than a week and arrived over a year after its initial release. Because of its limited availability to the viewing public here, I feel that most of you have still not seen it. I recommend that you do. ; Nominated for five Academy 'Awards last year (including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director), II Posiino (or Tke Postman) is an elegant story about the relationship between a fcmous poet and his mailman and is not to be missed. Set in 1952, it concerns the arrival of Pablo Neruda (played by Philiipe Noiret), the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean Poet, in a small Italian island fillage after being exiled by his govern- ment for his communist politics. While there, Neruda greatly influences the life of his postman, Mario Ruoppolo (wonderfully portrayed by the late Massimo Troisi). Since most of the vil- lage is illiterate and they have almost no contact with the outside world, it is only Neruda who With this film, direc- tor Michael Radford (best known for direct- love between Mario and Beatrice, but actually it is about the profound effect that Neruda fas on Mario's life, and Mario's devotion to him afterwards. With this film, director Michael Radford (best known for directing the film version of George Orwell's 1984) has surpassed all of his former work. There is an austere, yet simplistic beauty to each shot. receives any mail. Mario, who is dissatisfied with being a fisherman like his father, takes on the job of being his postman.

Radford isn't afraid to hold the audi- ence with silence, either (something almost unheard of in today's Hollywood films). Silence only works in film if it becomes as important as the dialogue OK. so I admit it, I thought some- thing was wrong with my CD player when the first song of Guitar Wolf's super excellent new album, Missile Me, emptied out of my speakers. Sounding like it was recorded in the backseat of a junkyard Cadillac, Missile Me is Bad to tke Future starring three hellhound Japanese guys in leather jackets and sunglasses who travel in time from 1997 to 1957 to sell their souls to the rockabilly devils of Hasil Adkins, Link Wray and Billy Riley and His Little Green Men. In fact, Guitar Wolf is wha' Billy Riley was singing about wher he cut "Frying Saucer Rock and Ml An undeniable influence on Guitar Wolf are the Ramones, if for no other reason than their leather jackets, the song "Rung ru Ramone Culmination Tactic" and Guitar Wolf's fixation with counting off before almost every song. This is actually a good thing, because often "1,2,3,4" are the only words in the song you can under- stand. I had a hard time deciding at first if they were singing in English or Japanese. But, if you are searching for a cliche" (and I know you are), just think of it this wav: Guitar Wnlf speaks the international language of rock and they are highly fluent, mon- sieur. Guitar Wolf are all about rock. Hell, a quarter of the album's 12 tracks use some form of "rock" in their titles: "Hurricane Rock "Midnight Violence Rock and Roll "Racing Rock" and "Jet Rock and Roll" (not to mention "Jet Blues"). Guitar Wolf are also about noise. Dirty, raw, stinking, "was that you?" noise. The more modem influences of noise masters Pussy Galore, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the majority of the bands on Crypt Records are highly evident. On Missile Me, Guitar Wolf sends you a personal invite to "get a whiff of their pant legs, baby" (see Jon Spencer). With all the black leather and aforementioned influences, Guitar Wolf avoids sounding contrived or unoriginal. They maintain the spirit and teenage horniness of their rocka- billy heroes and the danger and pissi- ness of their brothers and sisters in noise. This is exemplified best on thc mostly instrumental track "Link Wray Man which Wray, a Dunn, N.C. native, would certainly approve of "link Wray Man" is sent from guitar heaven, pounding through more sludge than the Tar River. It's the real Pulp Fiction.

In Postino, the reflective moments shared between characters ring with as much sincerity (if not more) than the actual words they speak to each other. Massimo Troisi's understated performance as Mario becomes the cornerstone of the movie, and in order to truly grasp the immensity of what is happening to him, the audience must be able to follow every nuance of expression that Troisi conveys through his body and face. This would be no simple feat for any performer, and Troisi definitely earns his Best Actor nomination here. Although the movie has its share of poignant moments, the truly sad part is that Troisi (who was not only the lead, but also the co-screenwriter and co- director) postponed heart surgery so that he could complete II Postino. A few days after filming was completed he suffered a heart attack and died. Please do yourself a favor and rent this enchanting, bittersweet film. I ; you it will be worth it. Dale Williamson assistant lifestyle editor Well, it's that time of year again in Hollywood. The time has come for thc brightest stars to don their best wardrobe and share the spotlight at one awards ceremony after anothet Yes, the time has once again come for Hollywood to pat itself on the back and pay tribute to thc best 1996 had to offer. Awards ceremonies, especially within the entertainment industry have always been a topic of debate. Who are these elite gods that deter- mine which film, actor, actress, direc- tor, etc. excelled above all the rest? Exactly who has the power to say that Forrest Gump deserves thc best pic- ture Oscar more than Pulp Fiction Ultimately, such questions don't matter. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and that is life. However, within the last 10 years a noticeable trend has been dominat- ing the major awards ceremonies, particularly within the film industry The big winners (Rain Man, Driving Miss Daisy, Dances With Wolves, Silence of the Lambs, Unforghen, Forrest Gump, Braveheart) have all been mainstream films that were also blockbusters at the American box office. Even Sckadltr's List (which i fully believe deserved all of its Oscar glory) was a box office hit. My point to all of this is that money seems to have been playing a big part in which films are considered to be deserving of awards. Money has always affected what kinds of films are pushed by the movie industry Many film critics have recently taken a stance against the blockbuster mentality. In a recent Rolling Stone article, film critic Peter Travers stresses that 19 exhibited a bigger- than-usual gap between films with artistic integrity and films with box office clout ' (e.g. films like Independence Day grossed over $300 million in the U.S. alone, while high- er quality films such as Fargo and Lonestar were lost in the debris). As I mentioned earlier, it's time for giving out awards again. Last Sunday the Golden Globe Awards show was broadcast across the world, and, to the surprise of many, most of this year's nominees within the film category were not mainstream flicks nor were they huge blockbusters. Instead, many of thc top winners were smaller, independent produc- SEE GLOBE. PAGE 10 8 Thurtdiy.

(AP) - Migraine is a serious disease that affects one in six .American women - an estimated 18 million - at a 3:1 ratio over men. Yet, a new national study showed rhat half of women sufferers are unaware of this high incidence - a situation that often prevents them from getting the help they need leading to needless suffer- ing and feelings of isolation. Most women sufferers do not understand how common migraine is or realize they are among so many women who suffer from this often debilitating disease. As a result, many times they feel alone and do not take their condition seriously, thinking that they should be able to just "cope" with it. This prevents them from seeking the treatment that is available and that they deserve. Migraine is characterized by severe pain, usually on one side of the head, and often accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound and smell. Migraine occurs in periodic attacks, which can last from four to 72 hours. The high prevalence of migraine in women is primarily because of hor- monal influences. The study shows that the disease also has a greater overall impact on the lives of women sufferers, often isolating them from enjoying many aspects of their lives: Self-esteem, career growth and family and social life were a few areas in which women reported experiencing more negative effects than men. If you suffer from headaches and suspect migraine, see a physician for an appropriate diagnosis and treat- ment program. While migraine cannot be cured, it can be treated and man- aged.

Tricky cannot sing; his voice is disturbing, but he knows this and uses it with this quality in mind, to create the mood of tension after which the album is named. "Christiansands" is a love-song . Spoken over a trancy beat extrapolated from a sample of the downbeat of Slick Rick's "La Di Da Di Tricky explores the difficulties of love with more inno- vations: his lyrics don't rhyme, which is highly irregular in rap music. But Tricky is in every sense an "urban poet his command of rhythm enables him to shift in and out of form. He waxes philosophical in his musings: "You and me, what does that mean? Always, what does that mean? It means we'll manage, I'll master your language, and in the meantime, I'll create my own Other gems on the album include Tricky's inspired cover of Erik B. and Rakim's "Lyrics of Fury" (rapped by Martina), "Sex Drive a fast-paced number featuring a trippy beat and a harmonica, and "Bad Things a song with no beat - the rhythm is created in the tension between Tricky's haunted whispers and an angst-filled guitar line. The only drawback to this album is the inclusion of "Ghetto Youth The music has none of the innovations of the other ten tracks, and the lyrics are in some JamaicanCreole dialect, which makes it difficult to fathom. But the track is short, and it occurs during a the- matic break in the album, so it isn't all that annoying. In the short month that the album has been out, it has raised quite a stir in the music community, garnering much press attention from MTV and Rolling Stone, as well as drawing such diverse fans as Beck, Shirley Mansen (of Garbage), Zack De La Rocha (of Rage Against the Machine), U2 and Yoko Ono. As the leader in the new electronic avant garde, Tricky is beating a new path in the journey of hip-hop music, bringing such innovators as DJ Shadow and Aphex Twin with .him. Pre- Mitiennium Tension is the lead in into the 21st century. Welcome to the next level. GLOBE continued from page 7 tions that wowed the critics but weren't heavily publicized, indicating a daring shift from previous years. The films nominated for best drama included Breaking the Waves, The English Patient, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Secrets & Lies and Shine. Out of this elite group, lorry Fynt is the only big Hollywood production filled with a high-profile star like Woody Harrelson, but it is also one of last year's most risque films (put out by an otherwise conservative Hollywood). The English Potent (which won the award), admittedly, does have top-notch actors like Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe, but it is still a film with a limited release. The others are signif- icantly smaller productions that most of mainstream America has overlooked, until now. Other top winners include Brenda Bletbyn (best dramatic actress for Secrets & Lies), Jeffrey Rush (best dra- matic actor for Shine) and Milos Fbrman (best director for The People vs. Lorry Ffynt). To maker matters even more hope- ful, three of the greatest talents within independent filmmaking were also rec- ognized this year with nominations - Joel and Ethan Coen (best director and screenplay for Forgo) and John Sayles (best screenplay for Lonestor). The Golden Globes are, of course, not the big awards that all of Hollywood is waiting for. The Oscar nominations, the golden boy with the bald head that every filmmaker desires, should be announced sometime next month. But, if tradition continues as it has in the past, the Golden Globes should influ- ence which films are chosen by the Academy of Motion Pictures. Hopefully, this year's Oscars will follow in the Golden Globes' footsteps and the smaller, more deserving films will get their just rewards. If not, no big deal. A Fern Good Men and Prince of Tides were both nominated for Oscars, and that fact doesn't improve them in my eyes. Ultimately, it all comes down to politics and, of course, opinion.

GREEN BAY CHEERLEADERS ON THE WAY TO SUPER BOWL GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Chalk one up for the Green Bay Packers cheer- leaders. i � i �. News reports that the team's hometown cheerleadingcrew was being left out of the Super Bowl prompted a big reaction Tuesday, and now the 13- member squad is planning a trip to Sunday's big game after all. "We'll be on the sidelines cheering during the game just like we do at Green Bay - to be the cheerleaders that we have been for the past five years, said Ann Rodrian, coach of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay cheer- leading team. She confirmed Tuesday night that plans had changed and arrangements were being made for the trip. She said she received telephone calls from near and far after the news spread that her team wasn't invited to the Super Bowl - and she suspects manv calls also went to National Football League officials. Instead of inviting Rodrian's cheerleaders, a company producing the pre- game gala for the NFL had hired high school dancers from the Green Bay area to depict Packers cheerleaders on the field at the end of the show. AMANDA ROSS SPORTS EDITOR The shots didn't fall. Turnovers hurt. And James Madison's defense stopped ECU's home winning �feak at eight, with a 59-55 loss. Heading into the game, ECU was tied for first place atop the con- ference with ODU with a 5-1 record. JMU was next in line with a 3-2 CAA record. Both teams came out flat in the first half and JMU built up a slight 4-5 lead. Morris Grooms had a mon- ster dunk for ECU, one of three for the game, that sent the fans into a fury and left the Dukes wondering where their defense had broken down. ECU held a 6-5 lead and that would be only one of two times ECU would have the edge in the first half. The second came from a Raphael Edwards jumper with 12:17 left that gave the Pirates an 8- 7 lead. ECU would then go on a scoring drought that lasted four minutes until Edwards made both ends of a one-an-one foul shot. The Pirates would go on to score 14 more points to end the half in a tie with JMU, 24-24. Edwards, Grooms and Tim Basham led the first half scoring with six apiece. Grooms also led the way in rebounds with three. A total shooting percentage of 38 and 12 turnovers was the first half story. Head Coach Joe Dooley said it was the Dukes who set the pace for the game. "JMU was aggressive and set the tone from start to finish and we never answered Dooley said. Grooms said for the Pirates to chalk up a win, they need to improve first half numbers like those. "We need to concentrate on opening the game strong because the last couple of games have start- ed out weak Grooms said. Most players agreed that the first half was a bust, but they still had a whole new game ahead of them in the second. "First half was the worst half of ball we've played so far this season Alico Dunk said. However, Tony Parham knew the Pirates could rally back in the second. "At halftime we felt like we were still really into the game because we had so much time left to work with Parham said. The Pirates did battle it out in the second. Edwards hit a jumper to give ECU the quick edge only to see it diminish. With 13:42 left and a five point JMU lead, Dooley called a time-out and settled down his players. It worked, and ECU regained the lead, 37-35 with a Dunk bucket underneath. ECU kept that lead until the 6:12 mark when JMU's Chatney Howard put up a three pointer. Grooms hit a shot underneath that tied the game at 41-41, but that would be the closest ECU would come for the remainder of the game. But ECU gave it their all until the very end. JMU was inbounding the ball under ECU's basket and the plan was for a quick foul by ECU to get the ball back, but it was JMU's Ryan Culicerto who tangled with Parham. Culicerto was called for the foul after a botched inbound pass. Parham hit his free throws and ECU still had some life left with 28.3 left and they were only down by two. But it would prove to be made free throws by JMU in the remain- ing seconds that secured the Dukes the victory.

"Both mcr an going to be going on with their lives said Minneapolis attorney Andrew Luger, who represented Rodman. "They had a cordial con- versation that I think allows both of them to move forward without any ill will at all Amos has "gone awav for two or three weeks, according to a man who answered Amos' phone Tuesdav but did not identify himself. In a news release from Luger's office, Amos said he was "grateful for the professional, expeditious and courteous treatment I have received from Mr. Rodman Amos' attorney, Gale Pearson, did not return repeated messages left at her office. c a Although Luger confirmed a settlement had been reached, he refused to discuss financial terms. A source who asked not to be identified told The Associated Press on Monday the settlement was for $200,000. That brings the total cost of Rodman's kick to nearly $1.5 million. The NBA suspended Rodman without pay for at least 11 games and fined him $25,000. The suspension is the second-longest in NBA history and will cost Rodman more than $1.1 million in pay. The deal also included Amos' agreement not to pursue an assault charge against Rodman. QUARTERBACK CAN RESUME DRINKING NEW ORLEANS (.AP) - Maybe it was the timing, just a few days before the Super Bowl in a city known for revelry. After all, this is the place where the most famous thoroughfare is named after a whiskey. Whatever the case, the NFL sounded none too pleased when Brett Favre's agent revealed the Green Bay Packers quarterback has been given the go-ahead bv the league to resume drinking alcohol. ' The agent, James "Bus" Cook, stressed that the two-time MVP doesn t plan to spend the days leading up to Sunday's game against the New England Patriots partying away the nights on Bourbon Street. "He's got one thing on his mind and that's to win the Super Bowl, Cook said Wednesday from his office in Hattiesburg, Miss. "Brett's not expressed to me that he wants to go out and drink. It's not a matter of drinking; it's a matter of choice Favre admitted being addicted to a pain-killing drug, and he spent 46 davs in a Kansas treatment facility last summer. But he protested when the league also banned him from drinking alcohol for two years and subjected him to random testing. Cook said Favre told him last week that league officials agreed to change the quarterback's status in its substance-abuse program and that he'll no longer face random testing for alcohol use. Favre was at the Superdome for media day before word of the change in his aftercare status was revealed in Tuesday's Green Bay Press-Ciazette. The team said later he wasn't available to talk about the matter. NFL PAYS SWEENEY SAN DIEGO (AP) - The NFL was ordered Tuesday to pay $1.8 million in disability benefits to former San Diego Chargers guard Walt Sweeney, who contended the league pushed drugs on him and helped turn him into an addict. � . , Uwvers for the Bert Bell-Pete Rozelle NFL Retirement Plan indicated thev would appeal the decision by U.S. District Court Judge Rudi RE Brewster. If his ruling stands, it could open the door to other suits against pro toot- ball's $400 million pension and disability fund, legal experts said. "This could affect even retired player who has a disability or may have one Sweeney's lawyer, Michael Thorsnes, said after the ruling was announced. The NFL players' union has been paving Sweeney $1,827 a month since 1990. the year doctors determined his drug and alcohol use made him inca- pable of holding a job. The sum is the minimum benefit allowed for a dis- ability unrelated to football. Sweenev, 55. claims his drug addiction was directly related to the game because coaches and trainers for the San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins gave him amphetamines before games and depressants to bring him down afterward. The former .All-Pro guard played in the NFL from 1963 to 1976. SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT SEE JMU.

Allpress makes mark in Lady Pirate history Senior Justine Allpress has made her way into the ECU record books by scoring over 1.000 points in her career and posting 42 points in a single game this season. � PHOTO BY PATRICK IRtlAN TRACY L.U'BACH SENIOR WRITER Four years ago, a young lady by the name of Justine Allpress packed her bags and came to ECU all the way from Needwood, England. After being recruited through the mail and over the phone to join the Lady Pirates, she left the only home she had ever known to come be a part of a team she had never met and a country she had never seen. "The last three months that I spent at home in England were the worst of my lifeAllpress said. "I was scared to even think about being so far away from home As a member oPa high school team that won four consecutive national champi- onships, Allpress's inspiration to play bas- ketball came from a rivalry between herself and a close friend who was a basketball nat- ural. Determined to match her friend's tal- ent, Allpress began working hard and soon fell in love with the sport. "Mv memories of high school basketball are of victory and traveling and having fun. There wasn't a great deal of pressure put on me back then Allpress said. "There was never anyone there to keep track of how many rebounds I got or how many shots I made because sports are played so differ- ently in England According to Allpress, there isn't much at all that is the same between the US and England. Students begin high school at the age of 11 and playing on more than five ath- letic teams is not uncommon because most of the teams practice only once a week. Basketball is most commonly referred to as "net ball a game in which there is no con- tact and little intensity. .Also, no scholar- ships are offered in England, which ended up being one of the factors that helped Allpress make her final decision about whicl. school to attend. On Dec. 30, Allpress made Pirate histo- ry by scoring 42 points in the home game against Hampton. Prior to her accomplish- ment, the record for the most points scored by any one female in a game was held by Coach Rosie Thompson who, to this day, still remains the leading scorer for the Lady Pirates. "That night was completely awesome .Allpress said. "Everyone played great, and we all left that night with an amazing feel- ing Allpress said that although she was aware that she had scored a lot in the game, she had no clue that she had broken the record until she was out of the gym and on her way to the locker room. "I always had a personal goal ro score 30 points in a game before I graduated, but I never imagined that I would break a record, especially one rhat had stood strong for almost 20 years Allpress said. .Allpress feels the team has been playing inconsistently this season, but she is confi- dent that talent lies in the hands of each and every one of its members. "We haven't played to our potential this year. We need to focus on getting back to the way we were playing at the beginning of the season she said. Allpress says that she has met her friends for life here at ECU. She has not decided yet on where she will be living SEE ALLPRESS. PAGE 12 RED SERVICES Teams and officials travel to tourney While most of ECU was on semester break, three contingents of ECU students travelled to New Orleans, La. to participate in the 18th Annual National Invitational Flag Football Championships. The ECU regular season men's Hag football champion, "Super Ho's made the trip for the fifth time in the last six years while the women's team, "The Creoles" were first time participants among the approximately 170 teams from across the country and Mexico. Teams were divided into four separate divisions for competition: Men's collegiate. Women's colle- giate. Co-Rec collegiate, and Men's Open. In addition to the teams, six ECU intramural sports officials were invited to work the tourney. The "Super Ho's easily navi- gated pool play by defeating the University of Texas-Arlington 19-7 and California Poly State University 20-0. Aftet receiving a bye in the first round of the playoffs, they faced the host University of New Orleans "Criminoles who had been to the finals and semi-finals in the past two years. Despite a strong showing, sever- al key plays lead to a 33-26 UNO victory and ECU's elimination. Members of ECU's men's team included Geouf Anderson, Daniel Finn, Derrick Harris, Terrance Barnhill, David Campbell, Rodney Young, Chris Pressley and Robert Campbell. The "Creoles" also enjoyed a solid showing in the women's division. .After falling to Universidad Nacional Autonoma De Mexico 20-0, they defeated the University of Mississippi "Chi Omega" 24-0 to qualify for the play- offs. In the first round of the playoffs, thev ousted the University of Florida 13-6 before the speedy and flashy offensive play of Southern University-Baton Rouge proved to be too much in a 25-0 loss in the round of 16. Members of the "Creoles" included Rahha Gil, Christine Greco, Beth Lamm, Tracendia Sauls, Liz Greno, Cheryl Jackson, Tomekia Blackmon, Darlene Boone, Latesha Sutton and Hope Murray. The participation of these teams ended highly successful season which included a championship and runner-up finish for rhe "Super Ho's" and a runner-up finish for the "Creoles" in regional competitions. Among ECU's 28 flag football officials were six who received the opportunity to work the tourney. The national event brought togeth- er 100 officials from across the nation representing 48 institutions. These individuals were selected for outstanding performance from a stateregional tournament or as an at-large selection for their perfor- mance on their campus. Top honors among the ECU officials were taken by Steven Roberson who was recognized as an Ail-American, des- ignating his selection as being among the best 20 officials in the tournev. Roberson also was chosen to offi- ciate the Men's collegiate champi- onship game and received the opportunity to work an exhibition game on the floor of the Superdome prior to the Sugar Bowl game fea- turing Florida vs. Florida State. Russell Duvall, an Ail-American from 1995 and Allison Kemp also worked on the final day of competi- tion and received semi-final game assignments. Other officials working the event included Zina Briley, Rusty Weedman and Bobby Woodard. Each of these officials had previous- ly worked one or more stateregion- al tournaments either in North Carolina or Georgia. Roberson became the eighth ECU official to receive the distinction of All- American. This group includes Duvall, George Hollen. and Brian Weingartz, who are all still active officials in the Intramural Sports program. Congratulations to all who participated in this year's event! 12 Thwsdiv. Jinoiry 23, 1997 S The East Carolinian JMU continued from page 11 ALLPRESS continued from page 11 with 3.1 seconds left for a 55-57 JMU lead. In a desperation attempt, Meadows fouled Atkinson and he sank his last two free throws for the 55-59 JMU victory. Atkinson went six for six in the last 17 seconds of the game to ensure the victory. � "JMU made it hard for us to play our usual ECU game Grooms said. Dooley was pleased with the per- formatK put forth by Grooms. "Morris kept us in the game Dooley said. "He played very well with a lot of energy" Only one Pirate, Grooms, was in double figures with 12 points. Dink Inters also led the way with nine, while Edwards, Meadows and Parham each contributed eight points. ECU shot a total of 39 percent for the game and 23 percent from the three point arc. ECU now drops to 5-2 in the CAA and will head to UNC- Wilmington to face the Seahswks who are currently in fourth place with a 4-3 record. "Expect Wilmington to be a good match. They beat JMU and William & Mary on the road. Ufe have a lot of work to do before Wilmington and not much time to do it Basketball Reminder The women's basketball team will host James Madison Friday night in Minoes Coliseum. Tip is set for 7 p.m. The men's basketball team will head down to UNC-Wilmington to take on the Seshawks. The game will be played in Trask Coliseum at 7.30. The game will be televised on WTTN Channel 7. after graduation, which is only months away. "My friends here have become my family. They are always there for me and they support me when I am feeling down AJIpress said. "On the other hand, my mom and I have a very cicsc relationship. I know that she's not here in person, but she's always on the other end of the phone when I need her Allpress is looking forward to gradu- ation, when her mom, brother, and high school coach, Brian, will be joining her here in Greenville to celebrate. "If it hadn't been for Brian, I proba- bly never would've picked up a basket- ball Allpress said. While Allpress had her heart set on attending Sheffield University, a small school about an hour away from her home in England, her coach was busy contacting schools including Maryland, Miami, and of course, ECU. Allpress considers herself to be a very determined and competitive per- son. Her grandfather, who she claims was one of the most positive people she ever knew, was her roie model for life. "He was the kind of person anyone would like to know or be she said. Allpress also admires Steffi Graf. As a "sports fanatic" that participated in eight different sports in high school, Allpress's second love is tennis. In her opinion, Graf is the "ultimate athlete Allpress has developed a good rela- tionship with Coach Donovan. She says that one tk-ing she admires about her coach is that she has gotten to know the girls on the team not only as ath- letes, but also as people. "Coach Donovan is very demanding, extremely intense, and she expects the very best out of her players. She has gained a lot of respect for us because she expects so much out of us Allpress said. "If you give all that she asks, she'll gjve back in return When she's not playing basketball, Allpress likes to relax, watch movies and hang out with her friends. Perhaps she said it best when she said, "I am intense out on the basket- ball court, but I like to have fun, too TRMAtimo Question: How many times have the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots won the Super Bowl? jxfiig m ssoj v uuti ptpmif cStnufQ "9861 � fvjoxfdv bifj xui iuo np jsojptapaoq jxfas " uocn jxvu sofpuDfiirg m$ puWO fmmjsp 'Jtp ljpjsfrSmpuph&svsw?xtqsjafjpjap lliapaoqj�iinujmu39qxwiiiApspiioq Birkenstock Gregory MefreM Mountain Hard wear Mountainsmith Solstice Teva Take off to the Great White North caroo LueeAoe sv SWITCMSACK" x destination: M - Sat 10 - 6pm 530 Cotanche St. Phone 757-0713 jp � Travel Luggage -Boots and Birkenstocks - Gear and Clothing � Guide Books & Maps QjX tl 51 d 131 Come checkout our selection of climbing sear by Petzl.
