TUESDAY FEBRUARY 4.1997 the 1 � � eastcaroliman EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Transit struggles to solve overcrowding Students have experienced delays in the shuttle departing from Christenbury Gym. PHOTO BYHEATHf R BUR6ESS Manager introduces plans to end overflow, safety violations Jeff Gentry SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES STAFF WRITER ECU students who take the shuttle buses to class will soon have some relief from the over- crowding that has been plaguing some of the routes. The problem has been evident on the bus routes from the commuter parking lots as well as the routes in residential areas. Students have had complaints ranging from nowhere to sit on the bus to having to ride on the steps of the bus, a violation of traffic safety laws. "V are looking to add another commuter shuttle bus during peak times and we already have an alternate bus running on the Purple route, " Transit Director Karl Grunden said. "But it looks like we will have to start doing that on the Brown route as well The addition of these bus routes could raise the problem of finding people to drive them. "We are always hiring drivers, but our biggest problem is the amount they are paid for the responsibility they have Grunden said. "It's sad because we have qualified bus drivers who go somewhere else because of the pay that they are offered here Currently, the pay for a bus driver on cam- pus is $5 an hour, with a 25 cent raise every year. All of the drivers currently arc students. One of the problems that is currently being dealt with is the loss of the Mendenhall shuttle due to recent construction in the area on both the newly opened Rec Center, as well as the current remodeling of Joyner Library. "Basically, the shuttle was started because of the parking problems that the new Rec Center was going to create Grunden said.

COLLEGE ISSUES STAFF WRITER Editor's Note: This article is the conclusion of a two part series on detecting, preventing anddealing with breast cancer. Part one, in last Tuesday's edition, teas entitled: "Breast can- cer: Age not a factor One ECU professor confirms that while women with breast cancer face fear of the disease as well as the negative perceptions of the disease, her battle with breast cancer has made her a stronger person. Cynthia Ryan, who has been a faculty member for over two years teaching professional writing and women studies classes at ECU, has been active in promoting awareness in the college and the commu- nity. In addition to guest speaking and attending seminars at Pitt Memorial Hospital, Ryan has also worked on a research pro- ject of her own. "Most of my research deals with the juncture between breast cancer discourse and image dis- course Ryan said. "In other words, we need to get women to view it as a health issue rather than a beauty issue.With increased education, you realize that they are two totally separate things Ryans said the line between image and health is important for women to distinguish. She also said women are particularly vulnerable to conforming to social pressure concerning their looks. The need to "look good" can override the need to have surgery or other important medical procedures. "Women should break down what stereotypes they have and bring about a positive way of framing the issue she commented. "I find most college age women are really interested in knowing more about breast cancer Ryan feels that it is crucial for breast cancer sur- vivors to be vocal and active in spreading more knowledge about the illness. "I feel pretty strongly that people with breast cancer should share their story, although I do respect their privacy. It's vital to put a face on the disease since it is not as abstract anymore when we know someone such as a colleague or a church member who is going through it According to Ryan, there is still much ignorance surrounding the topic, which is largely due to the media presenting cancer as an illness lacking levels. Many people tend to become complacent when they assume they aren't classified under the high risk cases. "I was shocked to find out, when I got breast can- cer, that the risk factors such as alcohol and a high fat diet, were such an insignificant part of the big pic- ture Ryan said. "Other claims that are supposed to make women more susceptible to cancer are a histo- ry of cancer on the mother's side and none of my mothers relatives had it. After all this time and money, we still don't know what causes it Ryan said getting involved with charities that are active in research versus associations that only work with treating cancer is important. Anyone can get involved in the fight against breast cancer. Traditional involvement includes the Relay for Life fund-raiser, buying pink ribbons during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and, for women, receiving regular mammograms. This last measure is extremely important for all women and Ryan suggests that women should go together if they feel uncomfortable being alone. "A lot of people just fall through the holes because they haven't been pushed enough Ryan said. "It's more encouraging to go with a friend or a family member Self exams arc also crucial for all women and should be the minimum a woman should do in order to protect herself. "Most women young and old do not think they know what they're doing with the breast self exam, but neither did I and I found a lump Ryan said. "The main reason for the exam is getting familiar with the shape of your breast so that you can notice any changes, since you know your body better than any doctor and are the best judge of what's happen- ing Ryan said that if a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, finding the right support group and linking on to a person that believes in your welfare and will be present in the time of need. "You want to be in a support group where people are actively seeking treatment rather than those that are simply sitting around, looking at each other say- ing 'Gee, how long do you think it's going to be until you die? Ryan said. "I feel Bruce, my husband, was really my support system, so find someone who believes in you and knows you can get through this After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ryan feels her outlook on life has taken a change towards the positive. "There's really no more chance of me dying next year than you dying next year Ryan said. "In a ter- minal disease, you can visualize the end, making it much more real and immediate, but it doesn't make me different because, overall, we're all in the same boat. It does set you apart but not necessarily in a negative way. One shouldn't say someone is dying of breast cancer rather than living with it. The bottom line is that many breast cancer survivors go on to live very productive lives Professor Cynthia Ryan teaches a writing course in the General Classroom Bui'iing PHOTOS BY OAVID FINCH Disabilities Support Services continues to expand Returning student com- pares today with 1970's Marina Henry SPECIAL POPULATIONS ISSUES STAFF WRITER Note: Tkis is the final article in a two part series concerning handicapped accessibility on campus.

While Todd Dining Hall has handicapped bathrooms and phones, it has no accessible doors. Recently, the Rawl building got an accessible door. According to so.ne handicapped students the bathroom stalls in the Spot are hard to maneuver around in, and the lifts on the new buses had to be fixed because they weren't working originally. "Just because a place has a handicapped access sticker on the door doesn't mean that it is Bell said. Doors and transportation are not the only problems encountered on campus.

ROYSTER ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR HEATHER BURGESS WIRE EDITOR A resolution denouncing a bill, passed last spring, allowing for the tuition of SGA's executive council members to be paid from student fees will be discussed and voted on soon. The bill allowing for the payment of the executive council's fall and spring tuition was passed in the spring of 1996. Sophomore class president Cliff Webster said he had heard of a petition circulat- ing among students objecting to the bill and knew that controversy surrounding the bill still existed. Webster and his vice president James Kaltenschnec worked on the resolution together and introduced it to the legisla- ture last Monday. "This is something we wanted to do, not just for the sophomore class but for the whole student body Webster said. Although the resolution has been presented to the legislature already, it must be discussed by the Student Welfare Committee, chaired by Mary Paige Early. After the Student Welfare Committee discusses the resolution it will be voted on by the entire legislative body. The resolution needs a two thirds vote to pass. If the resolution passes it will immediately be presented in the form of a bill and the executive council's tuition will no longer be funded with student fees. In the resolution entitled, "The ECU SGA denouncement of the SGA Executive Council's tuition payment for the Rill and Spring Semester three rea- sons were cited for abolishing tuition payments. First, the resolution stated the monthly salary the Executive Council receives is adequate payment for their position. Second, the resolution stated that paying tuition in addition to monthly stipends was an unprecedented practice in the University of North Carolina System. Finally, Webster and Kaltenschnee stated that student fees used to fund the executive council's tuition could be used for other purposes. Webster said he felt encouraged that the resolution w' I -ass. "I think ther- - a very good chance it will pass Weber said.

Before becoming lieutenant governor, Green served as a state senator and speaker of the state House. �� The charge against Green came as part of a large-scale federal investiga- tion into tobacco sales fraud. Since 1990, 30 people have been convicted as part of the probe. Two warehouse owners also were expected to enter okas in charges related to the probe, according to the VS. Attorney's Office. ANGELA KOENIC HEALTHENVIIIONMENTAL ISSUES STAFF WRITE This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and although ECU has no planned events, Student Health wants stu- dents to be aware of these disorders. "Eating disorders have a long term health impact Most people with eating disorders have some underlying emotional issues or rea- sons which cause them Dr. Jane Ross, a psychologist at the Student Health Center said. "We live in a society where appearance is most important, and in a desire tr match public appearance, women are putting their lives in jeopardy Ross said. More than five million Americans j suffer from eating disorders and this I is not restricted to females. One in 10 people with eating disorders is male. The three most common eating disorders are anorexia ncrvosa, bulimia ncrvosa and compulsive eat- Anorexia ncrvosa involves a pre- occupation with dieting and thin- ness, which leads to excessive weight loss. According to the American AnorexiaBulimia Association, Inc one percent of teenage girls will get anorexia ncr- vosa and up to 10 percent may die as a result of this. The association also reports that five percent of college females in this country are bulimic. Bulimia ncrvosa involves frequent episodes of excessive consumption of food almost always followed by purging this food. Compulsive overeating is similar to bulimia. It is characterized as mass consumption of food which is often followed by feelings of guilt and remorse. Other eating disorders are binge eating disorder, sleep eating disorder and night eating syndrome. The Student Health Center is organizing an eating disorder therapy group for students with diagnosable eating disorders. "The group will be dealing most- ly with people who have an eating disorder, have acknowledged that they have one and want to receive group help for it Dr. Nancy Badger of the Counseling Center said. Students must go through an intake process to participate which involves meeting with Ross, who will decide whether the student would be a good candidate for the group. Ross would like the group to have seven to 12 people, but it can be started with as few as five partici- pants. "It is our expectation that they will attend the weekly meetings. Ideally the sessions will be held on Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. This will also be the intake time for now for students to see me about the group Ross said. In addition to this group there are a number of other services for stu- dents to get help and information about eating disorders. They coordi- nate so that students will be sent to the place which best fits their needs. Student Health Center has a health educator: the Office of Health Promotion and Well-Being has pamphlets and peer group facili- tators who are trained to facilitate programs. The Student Recreation Center has computerized nutritional assessment; Dining Services has a nutritionist and the Counseling Center is available for individual consultations. "If a student is debating about whether they have one (eating disor- der), we (Counseling Center) would be happy to talk to them individual- ly Badger said.

(AP) - TVs "Frugal Gourmet" Jeff Smith fondled and kissed a high school-age busboy in his restaurant in the early 1970s, a former administrative law judge said in an affidavit. William Metcalf of Orvmpia, Wash said he saw the incident in 1972 or 1973 at Chaplain's Pantry, a Tacoma, Wish restaurant and catering store owned and operated by Smith, who also faces a lawsuit by a man claiming he was molested. At the time, Metcalf was an administrative law judge in Washington state, an appointed post that involves settling disputes within the government. Metcalf said he was walking to the dining area, took a wrong turn and walked into the kitchen. JACQUELINE D. KELLUM ARTS AND STUDIES STAFF WHITER Thanks to grants from various sources, PeopleAct Community Theater is developing a unique play based on several 'conversation groups' held last year. The conversation groups, according to Artistic Director Deborah Morrison, consisted of a variety of Pitt County citizens of all ages, backgrounds and ethnic groups. "We found them by word of mouth, by asking people 'Who do you know that would be good for this and would be interested?" Morrison said. The conversation groups were videotaped and are currently being reviewed and adapted into a script. "It's a collage of stories, and the idea is that it's a series of stories about different characters with a central theme Morrison said. That theme is "What Does America Mean to Me?" and was originally the topic designated by the National Endowment for the Humanities in a contest to give a grant to an organization which would develop the theme with the conversation groups. PeopleAct submitted a proposal for that grant, but was denied. They later applied for and received a grant from the NC Humanities Council, then also received grants from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and ECU. Those grants enabled them to con- tinue developing their idea, which they had first developed to fit the specifications of the National Endowment for the Humanities grant. The three conversation groups met for three two-hour sessions each to discuss the theme of what America meant to them. According to Morrison, all the groups were eager to talk to each other and share their unique perspectives, whether they were immigrants, high school students, children of Holocaust sur- vivors, or college graduates working corporate jobs. "It was really interesting to see what they thought of the American dream Morrison said. These conversation groups and the theme of this developing play fit right in with PeopleAct's stated pur- pose, which not only involves the- atrical entertainment, but concern for the local community. "It's a community theater group I founded two years ago. The focus is on community projects that bring the community together Morrison said. Not all of the conversations were lightheartcd and positive. Morrison said there was a surprising amount of cynicism from the conversation group made up of high school stu- dents; there was optimism from immigrants who felt America pre- sented great opportunities, and con- versation on weightier topics. "We've had a lot of dialogue about racism, especially the African- Americans, who have experienced incidents of racism, some of them violently Morrison said. The conversation groups provid- ed a wealth of material for the script which is being developed by Morrison and the others involved in this project, who include: Dr. Gay Wilentz of the ECU English deptart- ment, project director; Janice Periquet, managing director, Carl Campbell, assistant theatrical direc- tor, and Todd Lovett, also an ECU English department faculty member, multimedia designer. There will be open auditionsin April for eight parts and the play will be performed in Greenville in September. It will also be performed ir. Wilson, Pembroke, New Bern and Elizabeth City. The project was designed to be entertaining as well as thought-pro yoking. "The crux of the project is that we need to establish a dialogue. We. need to open lines of dialogue where there is none right now, among peo- ple of different ethnic backgrounds, different class backgrounds.

Available StUQCIIt StOFCS news The East Carolinian Alcohol-related accidents leave UNC officials searching for answers RALEIGH (AP) - Officials at some North Carolina universities are tak- ing a renewed interest in excessive drinking as incidents related to alcohol become more frequent. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a sub- stance abuse task force has been formed to find ways to reduce excessive drinking on campus. Counselors at UNC-CH give edu- cational sessions to students arrest- ed for underage drinking downtown or caught violating the campus alcohol rules. Duke began instituting tougher rules - such as banning kegs on campus - three years ago. A sub- stance abuse specialist there calls the school's infirmary every Monday to check on alcohol injuries and overdoses from the weekend. Officials also recently began an amnesty policy - that says students won't be punished, only treated - worrying that students otherwise wouldn't call for help if they needed it. But still, alcohol-related acci- dents keep happening. In the last month alone: -A 23-year-old Duke law student was killed after smashing his car into a tree. His blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit, police said. -An 18-year-old North Carolina freshman fell five stories down an elevator shaft. Witnesses said the woman and the man who pushed her into the elevator doors, which opened, had been drinking. -Four people were injured at Duke after the basketball team's win over North Carolina, including one who was burned after jumping through a bonfire. Police said the situation was "a near riot" and alco- hol was factor. Naive parents may not realize what's ahead when they get a col- lege acceptance letter in the mail, said Ken McGee, whose daughter Jamie died after a fall on the UNC- CH campus after drinking. 'The parents are just taking it for granted that it's safe to send their child there he said. "They're just excited for their child to be accepted to Carolina Those who work with students say it's no surprise that in a culture in which about half of the accidents are fueled by alcohol, college cam- puses have become dangerous places for some. William Jordan, a UNC-CH trustee, father of two and chairman of the substance abuse task force, has described the university of the past few decades as a bad parent, letting'rules go unenforced. "Anti-social behavior, whether it be physical violence, drunken dri- ving or destruction of property, whatever manifestation it takes, is not going to be accepted on this campus, and we don't want it accepted in this town he said. "College is a great time for experi- mentation and testing things - within the confines of certain rules and regulations Students say they don't know how universities can take more responsibility for the actions of thousands of young adults. "Alcohol is a problem on this campus said Ruth Reid, a junior at Carolina, who applauds the uni- versity for its shuttle buses that discourage drinking and driving. "But I'm not sure what else the university can do to stop it In the foil of 1994, 34 students ended up in the emergency room with alcohol-related injuries. In the fall of 1995, the number was 24. By last fall, it was 14. Duke students who visit the emergency room are referred to the office of substance abuse counselor Jeanine Atkinson's office for coun- seling, but they're not punished. Atkinson tracks alcohol abuse through the year with her "alcohol calendar Then she tailors educa- tion programs before heavy drink- ing times, such as spring break, big football weekends and Mardi Gras. Last week, she served hot chocolate to students camping out for basketball tickets in freezing temperatures. She also handed out fliers about the dangers of alcohol and hypothermia. Matt Sullivan, a substance- abuse counselor at UNC-CH, hears plenty of anecdotes about what can happen to a student after too much drinking. But a UNC-CH study last year quantified the negative out- comes. Twenty-six percent admit- ted driving while impaired during the year before the study. Thirteen percent said they had been injured while drinking, and 9 percent had been sexually compromised. Study, married people more likely to cut back on drinking, drugs DETROIT (AP) - A study released today confirms the old adage that people settle down after marriage. People reporting marijuana use and heavy drinking dropped by one- third during a two-year period when they went from single to married, according to a University of Michigan study of 33,000 young adults from 1976 to 1994. 'If you feel a responsibility to and for another person, then you are more apt to control your own behavior and play a role in controlling the partner's behavior said Jerald Bachman, one of the study's five authors at the Ann Arbor-based university's Institute for Social Research. Couples who lived together but were not engaged or married showed no such drop in drug use. Bachman said such couples apparently had less commitment to one another, which meant fewer changes in their drug habits. Those who stayed single contin- ued to be a high proportion of drug and alcohol users, the study showed. Drug use also increased for people when they divorce, only to decline once again if they remarry. The data is based on a question- naire given to graduating high school seniors across the country. The par- ticipants were questioned every two years, tracing their use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs up to 14 years beyond graduation. Bachman said he was hardly sur- prised by many of the results, such as young, unmarried adults usually increasing their alcohol, marijuana and cocaine use when they left home, often to attend college. Trie results are published in book released today titled "Smoking, Drinking, and Drug Use in Young Adulthood Bachman added that the "mar- riage effect so helpful for reducing drug and alcohol use brought only a slight reduction in cigarette smoking habits. Typical young adult smokers were regular users before they left high school. Of those who smoked a half- pack or more when they were high school seniors, three-quarters contin- ued smoking at age 22 and two-thirds at 30. out of ECU! YOUR RESUME!

February 4, 1997 news The East Carolinian Bomb damages American dormitory on Paris university campus SGA PARIS (AP) - A bomb exploded outside a dormitory for American students early this morning, shat- tering the glass entrance and win- dows but causing no injuries, police said. Explosives in a gas canister, weighing 28 pounds, exploded at 4:25 a.m. outside the American Pavilion at the Cite Universitaire in southern Paris, a police spokesman said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, the spokesman said, speaking on condi- tion of anonymity. Police were Services continued from page 1 of chairs that maneuvering is diffi- cult at times said freshman Chris Mackey. College Hill is difficult to navi- gate for those students in manual wheelchairs. " I have friends up there on the Hill and I would really like to go and visit them any time I wanted to, but it's just not accessible Mackey said. Many changes have occurred since DSS was first established. "The DSS used to take us to doc- tor's appointments and classes in buildings off the main campus, but it investigating what explosive mater- ial was inside the canister. "It was a big noise, a strong explosion said Joseph Seka, a receptionist at the dormitory. He said the building houses 200 stu- dents, about 60 percent of them American. Officials at the pavilion declined immediate comment. "Everybody's worried about what's going to happen Clementina Spinosa, a 20-year-old international relations student from Red Hill, Pa said after being awak- ened by the blast. doesn't any longer. However, we had to get our own tutors, hire our own aids and our own classmates to take notes for us. They do that for us now Bell said. DSS makes many changes on campus to assist the handicapped. " Compared to other college cam- puses, here it is superb Bell said. "Especially the new rec center. I have been in rehabilitation centers that weren't as accessible Students commented that the dining hall staff was helpful and courteous. "If you need anything, the staff will help you. I have a little problem with reaching things on the back of the buffets, but usually the staff realizes that and helps me Mackey Still, she said she knew of no students planning to leave the dorm. "I'm not going anywhere she said. Bombings in France recent months have been linked to Algerian Muslim militants as well as Basque and Corsican nationalists. A subway bombing in December that killed four people and a wave of bombings in 1995 were linked to the Algerian militants, who oppose Western links with Algeria's military- backed government. The bombs in those attacks were usually gas canis- ters loaded with explosives. said. Some of the problems are caused not by the school, but the students and visitors. "People park in my space illegally more than I would like them to. Sometimes I have to park in the Umstead lot. It is very inconve- nient Mackey said. Students realize DSS does much to help them, but say that many things still need work. "The ECU DSS had come a long way, but it has a long way to go. Vk are tired of being treated like a sec- ond class group of people on campus here. The things we ask for, like automatic doors in all the buildings, aren't just what we want; it is what we deserve Bell said. continued from page 1 will be Monday, Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. in room 221 Mendenhall. The resolu- tion will be discussed during this meeting and may be voted on. Students interested in speaking for or against the resolution at the meeting may contact any legislator Transit continued from page 1 close to Mendenhall in those com- muter parking lots be able to get to Mendenhall faster from some of the limited parking lots they were using after construction began The parking lot Grunden is refer- ring to is the limited parking lot at Minges Coliseum. Due to construc- tion on the road behind Mendenhall. this route had to be postponed. As a result, the Gold route now runs twice as many times through the limited lot to help ease some of the additional traffic flow. Driver training is also an issue on campus. Grunden believes there is no doubt his drivers have had the proper training. This is because he trains students and gives them the road test. "We train our drivers here at ECU Grunden said. Grunden has been licensed by the department of Motor Vehicles to do all road testing of prospective new applicants for a Coach Motor Vehicle license. These licenses are required to operate a bus in NC. Grunden also said the accident rate for campus buses is low here at ECU. "We have had three incidents involving buses since I have been here, most of which involved parked cars, and the reason I call them inci- dents is because of the amount of damage that was involved in each one Grunden said. Grunden said that none of the accidents had caused any more than $1000 in damage. Grunden also said - � - tfft A- ft A . M iw W. 9' � C ' f- ' Fk P- i - Jk ' � W pANAMA CITY BEACH, HORfCA $129 PER PERSON PER WEEK that a drug test was mandatory after any type incident, and the driver was placed on probation for an unspeci- fied amount of time. The condition of the buses has also been questioned. "Most of the buses are newer models Grunden said. Grunden also said they didn't have any more problems than one would expect, but the biggest two problems encountered were getting the buses repaired and the brakes. "The majority of the problems we run into are brakes. The buses we use are pretty much designed for rural riding, and all the stopping and going tends to wear the brakes out pretty quick Grunden said. However, over-sized brake assem- blies were used to help combat this problem. Players Club 4 Is Serving Up Fun!

Instead you are forced to stand in a crowded aisle, crammed in like a tomato on a sandwich. In ease you have not noticed, many of the buses have been dangerously overcrowded and some are not running any more. Either too many students are allowed on the bus at one time or they are being left to wait for a bus that is never coming. Wc think the student body is being short-changed by the Transit Department. fcarl Granden, the transit director, probably felt like a captain taking over a sinking ship when hekook the helm last year. Transit had management problems last spring when officials discov- ered the previous director was spending our student fees in questionable ways. Exact details are �rjjf sketchy, but general excessive spending was the finding made by Student Life when they rettewed the situation. Naturally Grunden's decisions will be more closely scrutinized than pre- viifts directors, but he needs to patch the holes in the ship raster. $lfhy would you change the bus route and not tell anyone, just leaving them there to wait? Why wflild you pile students in the seat and in the aisle to the point where they are hot, sweaty and stptt of breath? This is a disaster waiting to happen. Never mind the fact that it makes the ride extremely uncomfortable. It is imperative that students catch the right bus at the right time, but isjft worth risking your life? We at TEC think not. $bo many students' lives are placed in jeopardy each day as they are crammed onto these bates or left behind. It is not right and we do not have to take it. Considering the fact that too majiy students are on the bus, being left at bus stops, and breaking bus fire codes, we think acjfion should be taken. 'Vfe are tharMul Transit is finally addressed these issues. We just hope these are not empty ptjpniaes or plans never put into action. We haven't seen any of the changes yet. We do have faith, tgh. 3ffc hope that soon they no longer have trouble finding student-employees, update run-down bujes and maybe add some more routes. We know that money is always an issue, but if so many st&tents' lives are being put in danger, then there should be something done about it. As many students as are brought to the university by bus, you would think that the university would put forth some money to make sure they're safe. There's no excuse for putting someone else's life in danger: We need to find a solution.

Come on now, we have all seen the sly adver- tisements ana received their annoying junk mail. You know, the ones that attempt to condemn and place guilt on a student if you decide for a better life, oops, I mean living off campus. OK, before I really begin, let me warn the reader that I will commence rant- ing and raving (or fighting injustice) after this period. Anyhow, the UHS (our friends, remember) now carry a catchy little jingle, "good times, good food, great friends I would like to examine the most controversial two words of their jingle: good food. Good food, where? Of my two years at ECU, I can only muster up about three ARAMARK created foods that were worth my money as well as my tastebuds: Croatan mac 'n cheese, Wight Place pizza and vegi-sticks. Three is not very much at all. just the other day, I desired to order some mozzarella sticks from the Spot. After a rather rude and seeming- ly unmotivated-to-work clerk gath- ered the energy to take my order, I was to wait an unjust amount of time (15 minutes) for my food. Yes, for my five burnt cheese sticks at an insane price. Next, I endured what many have with ARAMARK manufactured, Spot prepared cheese sticks biting into practically nothing but fried ait Most of the cheese was melted to the bot- tom of the box. I felt cheated and angered, but what can you do? I'm real sure that a refund would be obliged by one of the clerks with- out a hassle (much sarcasm). I was the victim, once again, of the UHSARA- MARK food scam. Cheese sticks may not be much, but it is the principle of the whole thing. ror all of us at ECU who have ever overpaid for a dried hamburger, mushy fries, cold spaghetti or bruised fruit, and indirectly, terrible service from any of the six dining locations, we arc the losers. The real losers that deserve to be on the UHS ads, with censor blocks over our eyes, because we have been mislead and tricked by the UHS and ARAMARK relationship. RS. lb at least attempt to offer a solution Let's let the man- agers know how we feel; write to The East Caro&mat, demand the withdraw- al of mandatory freshman meal plans; and learn to cook our own food or eat out a bit more, at least until campus food improves. Haw I struck a nerve? Chris Newton Sophomore CommunicationsPolitical Science Rculty has right to be fit too To the Editor, Everyone will agree that physical fit- ness is an important part of anyone's life. Having an outlet available makes it easier to achieve their fitness goals. Not only is fitness a valuable pat of life, it also provides emotional fitness as well. The sense of competition, self-worth, and self esteem are all components of total fitness. While the addition of the new student recre- ation center has increased the access for students, it has made things more difficult for everyone else Since the founding of ECU, all members of the ECU community were invited to participate in activi- ties surrounding the campus. These activities included things like the use of the library, concerts, movies, speak- ers, intramural activities, use of uni- versity facilities, etc. This was the true meaning of a campus community and it was thriving. Since the opening of the new stu- dent recreation center, faculty and staff employed by the university can no longer use any recreation facility or participate in intramural events with- out paying a large fee. The public rea- sons that have been heard are that student fees paid for the center and therefore should be only for their use. I'll buy that excuse if the university did not use any state moneys, paid for by my taxes, to build or maintain the facility. If the building was totally financed through increased student fees over the past several years, then why can't the fees that you are still charging the students be put toward a parking deck, since the student recre- ation center is finished? If the univer- sity can raise student fees enough to build a SI 1 million building, why not a deck? Okay, maybe the university will stop charging the increased fees now that the recreation center is finished. Maybe it was just for rhe new project. We won't charge people for things that are already being paid for and have been in existence for sometime. If this is the case, which I doubt, why must the facility and staff now pay to play intramural? I know that you might be saying they all have jobs, why can't they pay several hundred dollars each year? ECU faculty and staff are some of the lowest paid in the university system. Taking away the small things that can make faculty and staff happy and increase job satisfaction will hurt the campus community The old facilities have been closed and cannot be used by anyone. I used to enjoy being able to interact with the students through the intramural system. Showing the students that we are people too, is very important. Making us pay to do this is an enormous mistake that can and should be corrected. If this trend continues, the ECU community will continue to be divid- ed. What's next-library fees?

On Feb. 6, the Bolshoi Svmphony Orchestra. Russia's oldest group of professional musicians, will return to Greenville, offering a sound that dates back to 1776 and is still going strong into the new millenni- um. Although the Bolshoi Orchestra is now touring solo, such has not always been the case. By the time the Bolshoi Theatre earned the distinc- tion of becoming a state institution in 1806. the Orchestra had made a name for itself by playing for ballet produc- tions. Still, the Orchestra was up to this time simply a background ele- ment for the on-srage drama. However, thanks largely to the inspiration and determination of composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the Orchestra soon became a more focused component of the drama in Russian theater. As a result, the Orchestra's significance expanded and ir began to include pieces by Glinka, Mussorgksy, Borodin and Rimsky-Koraskov. This increased significance attracted some of Russia's best musi- cians by the 1920s and '30s. a move that eventually distinguished the Bolshoi Orchestra as one of the most popular symphony orchestras in rhe Soviet Union. Naturally, composers from all over the Soviet wanted to work with such an orchestra. Since its increased popularity, such notable conductors as Svetlanov. Rozhdest- venskv and Samosud have worked with the Orchestra. The Orchestra's famed reputation has even attracted composers from other countries. (Currently, about 300 musicians are in the Bolshoi Orchestra, and wirh their talents the Orchestra has toured across Europe and Japan with the Bolshoi Opera and recorded several acclaimed albums, including Swan hike, The Sleeping Beauty. The Sutmuker and Great Russian Opera Choruses (which also featured rhe Bolshoi Opera Chorus), In 1993. Maestro Lazarev lead the Orchestra on its first tour of the US which was received with open arms and wide critical praise. This tour car- ried the group everywhere from the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington D.C. to New York Citv's Carnegie Hall. As the Orchestra's music director and chief conductor, Lazarev has proven to be a worthy leader. He began his musical education at an earlv age and received the intense instruction reserved only for the best talents the Soviet I'nion has to offer. After learning his craft from such schools as the Central Music School and the Leningrad Conservatory, I-azarev has gone on to win first prize SEE BOLSHOI "Kl 11 Hp4o W�f �. n�. wTx M 5KH.

What happens to this enthusiasm for life? At what point do children stop pretending: And why Who decides when it is time to "put away our childish things?"

Halle SENIOR WRITF.R "As I listen to the cemetery trees is one of Jakob Dylan's favorite lyrics on The Wallflower's sophomore release, Bringing Down The Horse. Although the album has been out for a little while, it has recently received some renewed interest. .And it's easy to see why. Besides the lyrics, there are other good things to look for on Bringing Down The Horse. like the band's sound, backing vocals, personality, etc. It's all there. The band is composed of five members: Jakob Dylan (vocals, gui- tars), Rami Jaffee (pianos, B3, upright piano, vox continental), Greg Richling (bass), Michael Ward (gui- tar), and Mario Calire (drums). They started a few years ago, apparently because of their lead singer's roots. You see, Jakob is the son of Bob Dylan, the incredible folk singer who spoke tunes through one of the most difficult times in .American history, the Vietnam War. After hearing the record, it is apparent that genetics are a useful tool which Jakob latches onto. I can definitely sense the similarity in vocal tone and structure. Not only does Jakob sound like his father, but he composes his music in a respectful way as well. The album opens with a song called "One Headlight the band's newest single. First off, the sound quality is amazing. Each track was laid down carefully so that each instru- ment is isolated; therefore, there is no clutter in the vibe. Nothing gets lost in the mesh. Of course, the album does have a crowd pleaser, "6th Avenue SEE WALLFLOWERS PAGE 11 fi Run Away JAY MYERS LIFESTYLE EDITOR Picking up an album by a local band is always a crap shoot. I'm not just talk- ing about eastern North Carolina, either. Every local music scene across the nation has its share of sub-par tal- ent. Finding a band worthy of praise and attention is usually a hard and thankless job. More often than not, if you criticize a local band or a local music scene, the objects of your criti- cism will find you. They live in the neighborhood, for God's sake. But every once in a while, a local band appears that leaves critics and fans begging for more. We critics live for these acts. Not only because the band's music is great, but also because our job is that much easier. Music critics are fans of music too, and we usually only want the best for our local' scene. But when it comes down to it. we have to tell it like it is, good or bad. Which is why I take great pleasure in bringing Rodeo Boy to your atten- tion. These three guys from Wilmington, Charles Brookshire (bass) and brothers James Reardon (guitar, vocals) and Jeff Reardon (drums), are simply fantastic. I first heard Rodeo Boy when I picked up their self-produced cas- sette at a local record store. It was cheap and looked cool, so I thought I'd give it a try. Little did I know how- taken I would be with their sound. Rodeo Boy's sound is sorta like brandy, it's warm enough to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, but strong enough to keep you happy and enthused, too. .Although the tape has been in cir- culation for a while, their first full- SEE R00E0.

But wait! This is not exactly the Star Wars you may have idolized as a child Countless articles have been written discussing how George Lucas "improved" his classic film by adding four minutes of new footage, revamp- ing the special effects and touching up the actual print of the film (see last Tuesday's issue of TEC for our article on that topic). While much of the added footage h 3K ti Run Away See it for Free Rent it on Video See a Matinee and up-to-date, state-of-the-art spe- cial effects are (for the most part) impressive, they are not an improve- ment on a film that had already proved itself once.

More than 12 million Americans, 25 percent of whom are teenagers, are infected with STDs each year. Even after recent significant declines in reported rates of some STDs, the United States still leads the industrialized world with STD rates that are as much as 50 to 100 times those of other nations. STDs add an estimated $17 billion annually to health care costs in this country. The consequences of STDs are extremely costly, dangerous and some- times deadly, particularly for women. Most Americans are aware of H1Y the most deadly of all diseases that can be sexually transmitted. But, for much of society, the other serious risks related to unsafe sexual behavior may have been forgotten. STDs frequently cause life-threatening complications, includ- ing potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy and cervical and liver cancers, as well as infertility and severe health problems for newborn babies. In addition, research has estab- SEE STO. PAGE 11 Star Wars continued from page 9 story of Star Wars (where have you been?), it's simple enough. A young boy joins an old, wise warrior and a reckless, wise-cracking smuggler in an adventure to rescue a princess from the evil clutches of a dastardly villain. Oh yeah, we almost forgot. Along the way, our heroic team also saves the uni- verse. Ultimately, it is this classic story that has allowed the film to remain as popular as it has been these last two decades, not the special effects. Audiences love a well-told tale, and George Lucas (serving as writer, direc- tor and creator of Star Wars) is a won- derful storyteller. While several marketing analysts have warned about the financial risks of re-releasing and strongly merchan- dising a film that is not only 20 years old but also available on video, the response from the public was so posi- tive this past weekend that we can lay those critics' worries to rest. Putting Star (tars on the big screen again is as good as putting money in the bank for Lucas. But (like mentioned earlier) this is not exactly the Star Wars released in 1977. Possibly as an effort to improve the flaws he saw in the original film or possibly just to add incentive to see Star Wars again, Lucas has made some alterations to his child. We talked last time about some of the changes that were planned for the re-release. As it turns out, the scene between Han and Greedo was one of the biggest and messiest changes. Ignoring the thematic problems with such a change, the scene simply looks awful on screen. If anything, this deci- sion takes away from the original. On the other hand, while there has been much controversy among fans about whether or not the scene between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo should have been reinstated, it sur- prisingly works. Solo and Jabba actual- ly interact with one another here (unlike their encounter in Return ofthe Jedi, the third part to the Star Wars tril- ogy). Jabba has character and personal- ity, and Ford plays Solo in such a slick, conniving, kiss-ass manner that the scene actually adds a little to the SoloJabba relationship seen later. But this still does not make the new edition of Star Wars any better than the original. Flaws, even within the Jabba sequence, abound. But these flaws are technical. Jabba, who appears in the new addition thanks to computer special effects, still suffers from flaws inherent in his original design, created for Return of the Jedi. No amount of technology can change the fact that Jabba is a difficult and time- consuming creature to create and make teal. Furthermore, some of the added special effects border on being overkill. Lucas and his team at Industrial Lights and Magic have been laboring to get the computer technol- ogy where it needs to be in order to begin filming a new trilogy. In an effort to experiment with this technol- ogy, Lucas has added a lot of back- ground material that was not originally there. Now, Stormtroopers ride huge, hulking lizards known as Dewbacks across the desert wasteland and thun- derous dinosaur-like beings known as Rontos walk through the streets of Mos Eislcy spaceport. As astonishing as these creatures appear, and as impressive as this computer technolo- gy may be, much of it is unnecessary. On the flip side, some of these additions are effective. The space city of Mos Eisley, for instance, is now a bustling metropolis, filled with bizarre robots, aliens and space rats; added sound effects enhance the experience of the film; and a dialogue between Luke and his friend Biggs (who had some key scenes deleted from the 1977 version) adds significance to the final space battle. Overall, the new edition of Star Wars is well worth the wait. Audiences are probably going to be split on the "improved" qualities of this new edi- tion, but that won't thin out the lines. Seeing a film like Star Wars on the big screen is enough reason to fork out five or six bucks. Anyone able to take a trip to a suitable theater in Raleigh or else- where should. Greenville theaters, unfortunately, are not equipped with the up-to-date screens or sound sys- tems that this film demands, so skip seeing it at the Plaza. Be assured, once experiencing Star Wars the way it was meant to be expe- rienced, you'll follow Billy Murray's lead and sing enthusiastically about this true space epic. Who knows, maybe Lucas' move will encourage more filmmakers to widely re-release other older films. Imagine A Clockwork Orange at Jams on the big screen again. Perhaps this will happen, but it's doubtful.

Set in both the Swiss Alps and the big city of Frankfurt, Heidi teaches us an important lesson about the power of family love. Heidi is left with her estranged grandfather by her Aunt Dete and must use her wit and charm to break through his defenses and teach him to love again. No sooner is the battle won than Aunt Dete returns to bring Heidi home with her. But, of course, Heidi already has a home.

Wallflowers continued from page 9 Heartache It's actually a good song. No matter how many times I hear the tune, I always respect it. It shows an excellent rhyme scheme, compatible lyrics and the setting is perfect. The slide guitar is the most important aspect because it cues you into a big change. People can really follow this song because it is written so well. The album carries on with songs that seem to be of a common theme. They don't sound the same, but you can tell that they come from the same place. That is, until you get to the sixth track, called "Invisible City It's a slow folk song and it makes me think of the relationship that Jakob and his father might have. I can hear how he's developed a sound all his own, though. Jakob is the premiere writer for the band. It's not a personality ching, however. His music has something to say, and the rest of the band join him in making his sound and message something more than it could have been by itself. I haven't seen such a young band complement each other so well since the early days of R.E.M. If you want to take your listening to another level, check out The Wallflowers. They have a patient sound, a sound that you can get into with a glass of wine, a smoke, and some time to yourself. They're a fast dream whose time has yet to come.

From the impressionistic Norman Rockwell meets Vincent Van Gogh painting of a small town on the album cover, to the crisp, clear pro- duction, to the price (which is still pretty cheap), this record has a lot going for it right off the bat. Add that to the fact that music sounds so good, and vou've got an unbeatable pack- age. Rodeo Boy do their best to defy- genre classification. Most labels (rock, country, alternative, etc.) just don't cover everything they can play. On the opening track, "Monumental Occasion their sound is a bit like Frank Black's solo stuff - jangly and fun, but also focused. On "Too Bad It's Not Summer they switch over to an approximation of the Rolling Stones' countrified hits "HonkvTonk Woman" and "It's Onlv Rock N' Roll, But I Like It But even describing their music this way denigrates the band's abili- ties, because it makes them sound like a cover band. They are so much more than that. Rodeo Boy have the ability to travel from soft ballads ("North Stars") to chunga-chunga guitar rock ("Drink Small") to multi- layered pop ("700 ft. Excuse") on their new album, all in the space of 42 minutes. However, the best thing about Rodeo Boy is the fact that they're from right here in our backyard. They play regularlv in this area, the new album was recorded at Raleigh's Wave Castle Studios and Chapel Hill's Kitchen studio, and it was released on a Wilmington record label. Sure, ' they'd be a great band no matter where they came from, but the fact that they're diehard North Carolinians makes it that much bet- ter. Do yourself a favor and check Rodeo Boy out. Their new album is definitely worth the price you'll pay. And if you want an added bonus, you can also check them out on Saturday, Feb. 8 when they stop by to play at our verv own Peasant's Cafe. STD continued from page 10 lished a clear link between STDs and HIV infection. STDs make people both more likely to become infected with HIV and more likely to transmit the disease to their sex partner. "More than half of all .Americans don't know that other STDs greatly increase their risk for HIV" said Judith N. Wasserheit, M.D M.RH Director of CDC's Division of STD Prevention. Abstaining from sexual activity is the most effective way to prevent STDs. For those who are sexually active, the consistent and correct use of latex condoms has proven to be highly effective in preventing HIV and other STDs. CDC also encourages those who are sexually active to be tested for STDs so they can begin immediate treatment, if necessary. "Approximately 70 percent of women infected with chlamydia and 50 percent of women infected with gonor- rhea have no svmptoms said Helene Gayle, M.D M.RH Director of CDC's National Center for HIV STD, and TB Prevention. "Many women assume their doctors check for STDs during their annual pelvic exam. But the pap smear does not screen for these or other common STDs and most physicians aren't raising the issue. Physicians should routinely offer screening for these diseases and coun- sel about prevention. But if a doctor doesn't bring it up, women must be willing to do so For more information, call the CDC National STD Hotline at 1-800-227- 8922. Law Office Of Jk John M.

Bobsled World Championships end in chaos ST. MOWT2,Switaerhtid(AP)- A glorious Swiss medal sweep at the four-man bobsled World Championships degenerated into chaos Sunday when the top three teams were disqualified. The race jury ruled that the front axles of the Swiss sleds violated international technical rates. The Swiss immediately appealed, maintaining they had been using the sleds for the past year with no objections. . , Organisers awarded victory to Germany - which finished fourth - but then relented and said She Swiss would remain atop the finish list pending s final decision. The International Bobsled federation will review the evidence in two weeks at its meeting in Nagano, Japan, and decide whether the Swiss or Germans should be world champions. "There it no world champion at the moment. There's nothing, Fforian Bhimer, one of the organizers, said.

(AP) - Rirtunately for Rob Dyson, rhis was the year he decided to scan two cars in the Rotex 24-Hours sports car endurance race. Dyson, a wealthy businessman from upstate New Tfork, finally got the victory that has eluded him in frustrating fashion since 1986. Twice before, he has finished third overall, and another time second in class. And, after taking the lead with eight hours remaining, it appeared that this one, too, might slip away as the Rrd-powered Riley 6c Scott MK ttl began to smoke during the final hour. "The problem actually started a couple of hours before when Andy Wallace was in the car said Butch Leitzinger, who drove the last hour for Dyson Racing. "It was overheating "I figured they were giving me the car so I could lose the race for them Instead, Leitzinger dropped to a somewhat slower pace and babied it home. They were telling me it was smoking, but the mirrors were shaking so much that I couldn't see it Leitzinger said. "It was probably for the best because if I could have seen it, I'd have probably turned to jelly" He wasn't alone in his appre' nsion. TRACY LAUBACH SENIOR WRITE The ECU Swim team closed out their season on Saturday with a win over Virginia Tech. The men and women each finish with records of 9-1 and 4-1 in the CAA. The men turned in six first place performances that helped them claim a 135-99 victory over the Hokies, while the ladies came out on top with a final score of 130-105. Finishing first for the Lady Pirates in the 200 butterfly race was Kim Field. Field finished with a time of 2:10.09, and was followed by teammates Cindy Clawson and Erin Brauer, who finished in 2:10.34 and 2:14.48 respectively. Field, a junior from Richmond, also swam in the 200 breaststroke and 400 med- ley relay. Field, along with teammates Amanda Atkinson, Kristen Olson and Robyn Williford, placed second in the 400 medley relay with a time of 4:06.21, just four seconds behind the first place winners from Tech. As a third year veteran of the team, Field is extremely pleased with the performance put in by her teammates, not only in the meet against Tech, but throughout the entire season. "This was definitely our best season ever Field said. Also swimming with heart was Casey Sloan, a freshman from Jacksonville, Fla. Sloan finished first in the 200 freestyle race with a time of 1:57.17, and also in the 500 free with 5:07.26 on the clock. In the 1000 free race, Hollic Butler came out on top with a time of 10:29.73. Coming in less than a second later was Virginia Tech's Katy Booth. Butler also finished second in the 100 free behind teammate Williford, who won the race with a time of 54.06. Butler and Williford were part of the freshman 400 freestyle relay team that not only came in first place, but also set a new ECU record with a time of 3:38.73. Also part of the team were Adrienr.e Cross and Teresa Hockman. Niki Kreel, a sophomore from Cary, N.C swam the 200 breast- stroke in 2:25.98 to chim yet anoth- er ECU first place score. Kreel also swam in the 400 medley relay. The men finished their season just as strongly as the women did. Brandon Tilley finished first in the 200 IM with 1:59.13 on the clock and also came out on top in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:11.43.

According to Head Coach Rick Kobe, the Tech victory was a good one, but for now, the focus is on the future. "We swam very fast once again today Kobe said. "Our goal now is to win a championship Members of the team agree that the CAA championships, which are just two weeks away, are bound to be the most exciting pan of the sea- son. The girls are heading into the meet hungry for a victory that will defend the title they have claimed for the past two years. By closing out the season against Virginia Tech with some of the best times of the year, the team is fully prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in the conference champi- onship, which will be held in Charlotte Feb. 19-22.

SMT jjoUm Hitm tog hmjq mufntjamfOH qw ffttfet )jy mp pupooj t L MIKE DANISKA STAFF WHIT Many college athletes have dreams of greatness. Making it to the pro's, playing in the Super Bowl, even going to the Olympics. But for most of these athletes, achieving that kind of greatness is just that, a dream. But for ECU'S track and field stand- out, Michelle Clayton, those dreams may be with in reach. Clayton, a junior, is arguably one of the best women's track and field athletes ever at ECU. That may sound like a bold statement until you consider her accomplishments. She holds the school record for the hammer throw, the shot put and the 20 pound indoor weight. "She is a hard worker Coach Charles "Choo" Justice said. "Most of the success she has had, she brought upon herself Her success is do in large part because of her intense workout schedule, which usually takes up a lot of her time. "I love ER but I never get to watch it because of my schedule Clayton said. Off the field, Clayton, an exercise and physiol- ogy major, feels the best place after a meet is with her family or teammates. She hails from Portsmith, Ohio, near the Kentucky border. But she can call any number of places home. As a child, her family moved 11 times. They now reside in Winston-Salem. Rw Clayton, one of the con- stants in her life has always been athletics. "Ever since I was little, I was in gymnastics, which was for about 11 years Clayton said. Clayton ran in middle and high school, but turned her attention to field events in college. "I was always the fastest in my class, so my middle school coach asked me to try out for the track and field team in seventh grade Clayton said. The decision to compete paid off. Last year, Clayton qualified for the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) in the discus and the hammer throw. The ECAC is consideretTthe second best tournament in the nation for college athletes, behind the NCAA's. She was also among the top eight hammer throwers in the East last year. Two weekends ago, Jan. 25-26 at the USAir Invitational, Clayton broke her own school record in the indoor shot put by half an inch. And this past Saturday Clayton finished first in the 20 pound weight throw and third in the shot put. Earlier in the season, Clayton qualified for the indoor nationals in March, where the top track and field athletes from across the country compete. She chose however to attend the ECAC's again. "I could have gone to the nationals Clayton said. "But I thought that I could use the experi- ence With such experience and success at the Division I-A level, are such lofty goals as the Olympics that far behind? "I would definitely like to go to the trials in 2000 or 2004 Clayton said. If she is unable to make it to the Olympics, a future in coaching is very possi- ble. "I have thought about it Clayton said. "1 would definitely enjoy it. Right now I help out with my old high school team, which my mom coaches Whatever the future holds, Clayton should be amply prepared. Anything is possible if she wants it bad enough and sticks to it Justice said. rf- 3 a Hssthsr Clayton Rugby team defeats Camp Lejeune, 36-20 STEVE LOSEY STAFF WRITER ECU'S rugby team got their season off to a dynamite start with a 36-20 victory over Camp Lejeune on Saturday. The Pirates were trailing 12-10 after the first half, but came into the second half fired up and took a dominating lead that secured their first victory. "Since it was our first game, we were a bit out of shape Kendall Jones said. "We had some rookies and switched some players' posi- tions, so they had to get used to that Jones mentioned Danny Lewis, who was switched to wing this sea- son. Once Lewis had become used to his new position, he was able to come back and score a tri in the sec- ond half. The Pirates played hard in the first half, but weren't able to score much. Camp Lejeune's defense kept ECU from scoring more than two tris. ECU defended their goal just as well, and at the half, they were only trailing by one point after Camp Lejeune had scored. The Pirates commanded the sec- ond half. They were able to analyze what was wrong with their game in the first half and corrected it. "We weren't covering the wing and they kept getting around us Jones said. "We also took the time to set up plays Outside center Eric Kunkel said the second half of play was much improved. "We kicked a lot more in the sec- ond half and didn't drop the ball as much Kunkel said. A key factor in the second half was the rotation of players. ECU sent in three new wings to replace fatigued players. Camp Lejeune did- n't substitute any fresh players, which hurt their game severely. ECU was able to score much more in the second half. They skill- fully avoided tackles by throwing passes with pinpoint accuracy. The "Pirates lucked the ball more often and gained a good amount of ground that way. "All of us could be in better shape Jones said. "By the end of the game, we started running out of gas Stamina is especially important in an iron man sport such as rugby. Each half is 40 minutes of nonstop running, without the luxury of time, outs other games have. SEE RUOBY PAGE 13 13 Tuesday, February 4. 1997 si xjrts The East Carolinian Donald Stroud !

Recreational Services' Natural Lite Program held the event Thursday, Jan. 30 in Ihristenbury Gym. It consisted of 2(1 teams. Some of the wild and messy events included a Slime Sundae, a Whipped Cream Wheelbarrow Race and a Blindfolded Football Game. All participants were up to their necks in slime, whipped cream, foam halls and water. The climax of the even! was the obstacle course. The winning six teams of four players had to sit on and pop whipped cream balloons, crawl under each other's legs, splat cool whip on their next players head, slide on their stomachs through whipped cream while being soaked by water balloons and finally, each teammate had to grab two flags out of a pool of slime, whipped cream, green water, balloons and bails and cross the finish line. The winners were as follows: First Place Curls, Dreads, 6k Straight Hair Heads with a time of 00:50 sec- onds through the obstacle course, Fletcher World Order with a time of 00:37. and third place the Cotton Crazies with a time of 1:00.

Their next home game is on Feb. 15, when the Pirates host Wake Forest. The Pirates have had phenomenal sea- sons in the past, and judging from the first game, this season will not disappoint anybody. Men ,a new collection that captures classic american style 0mSt continued ttom page 12 said it was nice to maintain the lead. "It was nice to play with the lead for once Dooley said. "It was a nice job from the get go. I thought Morris Grooms, Tim Basham and Jonathan Kerner stepped up like we needed them to Meadows pointed out that if they had lost the game, it would have been a downer to begin the second half of the season. "At this point four losses in the conference would have been a dent in our plans Meadows said. On Saturday the Pirates traveled to George Mason to face the Patriots. ECU had beaten GMU earlier in the season 80-74, and handed them another loss on Saturday, 85-81. ECU did have as much as a 22 point lead in the sec- ond half, but hot shooting from GMU got them back into the game. But it wasn't enough and the Pirates won and took scle possession of first with the victory. Edwards and Kerner split the leading scoring duties with 17 points each, while Grooms pulled down nine rebounds.
