SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES<lb/>
STAFF WRITER<lb/>
ECU students who take the shuttle buses to<lb/>
class will soon have some relief from the over-<lb/>
crowding that has been plaguing some of the<lb/>
routes.<lb/>
The problem has been evident on the bus<lb/>
routes from the commuter parking lots as well<lb/>
as the routes in residential areas. Students<lb/>
have had complaints ranging from nowhere to<lb/>
sit on the bus to having to ride on the steps of<lb/>
the bus, a violation of traffic safety laws.<lb/>
"V are looking to add another commuter<lb/>
shuttle bus during peak times and we already<lb/>
have an alternate bus running on the Purple<lb/>
route, " Transit Director Karl Grunden said.<lb/>
"But it looks like we will have to start doing<lb/>
that on the Brown route as well<lb/>
The addition of these bus routes could<lb/>
raise the problem of finding people to drive<lb/>
them.<lb/>
"We are always hiring drivers, but our<lb/>
biggest problem is the amount they are paid<lb/>
for the responsibility they have Grunden<lb/>
said. "It's sad because we have qualified bus<lb/>
drivers who go somewhere else because of the<lb/>
pay that they are offered here<lb/>
Currently, the pay for a bus driver on cam-<lb/>
pus is $5 an hour, with a 25 cent raise every<lb/>
year. All of the drivers currently arc students.<lb/>
One of the problems that is currently<lb/>
being dealt with is the loss of the Mendenhall<lb/>
shuttle due to recent construction in the area<lb/>
on both the newly opened Rec Center, as well<lb/>
as the current remodeling of Joyner Library.<lb/>
"Basically, the shuttle was started because<lb/>
of the parking problems that the new Rec<lb/>
Center was going to create Grunden said.<lb/>
"What these shuttles were going to do was<lb/>
help some of the people that used to park<lb/>

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

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

Student Health shows concern for eating disorders<lb/>
Restaurant plan draws flak but lengthy process<lb/>

HIGH POINT, N.C. (AP) - Restaurants should not be graded with the cur-<lb/>
rent letter system but rather with a pass-fail system and inspections should<lb/>
be done less frequently, a report of recommendations by the N.C. Restaurant<lb/>
Rules Review Committee said. ??'?? ?r u-oUK<lb/>
The committee sent the report to the N.C. Commission of Health<lb/>
Services in December but the changes may take years to be approved and<lb/>
might not be approved at all because of the complexity of the approval<lb/>

Sentencing for former lieutenant governor Green today<lb/>
WILMINGTON (AP) - former Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green faces up to three years<lb/>
in prison and a fine of up to 1250,000 at his sentencing hearing today on tax<lb/>
evasion charges. IQO-<lb/>
Green, 75. was North Carolina's lieutenant pOTorftoml977 t0. ?;<lb/>
He pleaded guilty in September to evading taxes on $90,000 from illegal<lb/>
tobacco sales. .<lb/>
Before becoming lieutenant governor, Green served as a state senator and<lb/>
speaker of the state House.   ??<lb/>
The charge against Green came as part of a large-scale federal investiga-<lb/>
tion into tobacco sales fraud.<lb/>
Since 1990, 30 people have been convicted as part of the probe. Two<lb/>
warehouse owners also were expected to enter okas in charges related to the<lb/>
probe, according to the VS. Attorney's Office.<lb/>

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

Former judge claims chef fondled<lb/>

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - TVs "Frugal Gourmet" Jeff Smith fondled and<lb/>

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

China, U.S. reach agreement on textile trade<lb/>
BEIJING (AP) - Averting millions of dollars in sanctions, China and the<lb/>
United States reached a trade agreement Sunday that heralded a warming in<lb/>
relations and could mean a doubling of U.S. textile sales in China.<lb/>
Beijing had threatened levies on imports of U.S. fruit, beverages and other<lb/>
goods in retaliation for $19 million in penalties imposed by Washington last<lb/>
year after China exceeded VS. textile import quotas.<lb/>
The pact signed Sunday extends for four years a 1994 treaty that expired<lb/>
at the end of last year. It will reduce some Chinese tariffs, keep others at cur-<lb/>
rent rates and eliminate some non-tariff barriers for VS. products.<lb/>
Police use cranes to clear chained<lb/>

GEESTHACHT, Germany (AP) - Police used a crane today to remove a steel<lb/>
container with anti-nuclear activists inside that had been blocking railroad<lb/>
tracks at a nuclear power plant for a week.<lb/>
Eighteen Greenpeace activists, who had been protesting the planned<lb/>
transport of spent fuel rods from the Kruemmel plant in northern Germany,<lb/>
were taken into custody, police said.<lb/>
Police said there were no incidents, but Greenpeace accused the police of<lb/>
unnecessary roughness.<lb/>
The material is to be transported by rail to the Netherlands and from<lb/>
there by ship to a reprocessing plant in Sellafield, England. Authorities said<lb/>
the transport would begin today.<lb/>

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

Bomb damages American dormitory on Paris university campus<lb/>
SGA<lb/>
PARIS (AP) - A bomb exploded<lb/>
outside a dormitory for American<lb/>
students early this morning, shat-<lb/>

dows but causing no injuries, police<lb/>
said.<lb/>
Explosives in a gas canister,<lb/>
weighing 28 pounds, exploded at<lb/>
4:25 a.m. outside the American<lb/>
Pavilion at the Cite Universitaire in<lb/>
southern Paris, a police spokesman<lb/>
said.<lb/>
No one immediately claimed<lb/>
responsibility for the attack, the<lb/>
spokesman said, speaking on condi-<lb/>
tion of anonymity. Police were<lb/>
Services<lb/>
continued from page 1<lb/>
of chairs that maneuvering is diffi-<lb/>
cult at times said freshman Chris<lb/>
Mackey.<lb/>
College Hill is difficult to navi-<lb/>
gate for those students in manual<lb/>
wheelchairs.<lb/>
" I have friends up there on the<lb/>
Hill and I would really like to go and<lb/>
visit them any time I wanted to, but<lb/>
it's just not accessible Mackey said.<lb/>
Many changes have occurred<lb/>
since DSS was first established.<lb/>
"The DSS used to take us to doc-<lb/>
tor's appointments and classes in<lb/>
buildings off the main campus, but it<lb/>
investigating what explosive mater-<lb/>
ial was inside the canister.<lb/>
"It was a big noise, a strong<lb/>
explosion said Joseph Seka, a<lb/>
receptionist at the dormitory. He<lb/>
said the building houses 200 stu-<lb/>
dents, about 60 percent of them<lb/>
American.<lb/>
Officials at the pavilion declined<lb/>
immediate comment.<lb/>
"Everybody's worried about<lb/>
what's going to happen<lb/>
Clementina Spinosa, a 20-year-old<lb/>
international relations student from<lb/>
Red Hill, Pa said after being awak-<lb/>
ened by the blast.<lb/>
doesn't any longer. However, we had<lb/>
to get our own tutors, hire our own<lb/>
aids and our own classmates to take<lb/>
notes for us. They do that for us<lb/>
now Bell said.<lb/>
DSS makes many changes on<lb/>
campus to assist the handicapped.<lb/>
" Compared to other college cam-<lb/>
puses, here it is superb Bell said.<lb/>
"Especially the new rec center. I<lb/>
have been in rehabilitation centers<lb/>
that weren't as accessible<lb/>
Students commented that the<lb/>
dining hall staff was helpful and<lb/>
courteous.<lb/>
"If you need anything, the staff<lb/>
will help you. I have a little problem<lb/>
with reaching things on the back of<lb/>
the buffets, but usually the staff<lb/>
realizes that and helps me Mackey<lb/>
Still, she said she knew of no<lb/>
students planning to leave the<lb/>
dorm. "I'm not going anywhere<lb/>
she said.<lb/>
Bombings in France recent<lb/>
months have been linked to<lb/>
Algerian Muslim militants as well as<lb/>
Basque and Corsican nationalists.<lb/>
A subway bombing in December<lb/>
that killed four people and a wave of<lb/>
bombings in 1995 were linked to the<lb/>
Algerian militants, who oppose<lb/>
Western links with Algeria's military-<lb/>
backed government. The bombs in<lb/>
those attacks were usually gas canis-<lb/>
ters loaded with explosives.<lb/>
said.<lb/>
Some of the problems are caused<lb/>
not by the school, but the students<lb/>
and visitors.<lb/>
"People park in my space illegally<lb/>
more than I would like them to.<lb/>
Sometimes I have to park in the<lb/>
Umstead lot. It is very inconve-<lb/>
nient Mackey said.<lb/>
Students realize DSS does much<lb/>
to help them, but say that many<lb/>
things still need work.<lb/>
"The ECU DSS had come a long<lb/>
way, but it has a long way to go. Vk<lb/>
are tired of being treated like a sec-<lb/>
ond class group of people on campus<lb/>
here. The things we ask for, like<lb/>
automatic doors in all the buildings,<lb/>
aren't just what we want; it is what<lb/>
we deserve Bell said.<lb/>

close to Mendenhall in those com-<lb/>
muter parking lots be able to get to<lb/>
Mendenhall faster from some of the<lb/>
limited parking lots they were using<lb/>
after construction began<lb/>
The parking lot Grunden is refer-<lb/>
ring to is the limited parking lot at<lb/>
Minges Coliseum. Due to construc-<lb/>
tion on the road behind Mendenhall.<lb/>
this route had to be postponed. As a<lb/>
result, the Gold route now runs<lb/>
twice as many times through the<lb/>
limited lot to help ease some of the<lb/>
additional traffic flow.<lb/>
Driver training is also an issue on<lb/>
campus. Grunden believes there is<lb/>
no doubt his drivers have had the<lb/>
proper training. This is because he<lb/>
trains students and gives them the<lb/>
road test.<lb/>
"We train our drivers here at<lb/>
ECU Grunden said.<lb/>
Grunden has been licensed by<lb/>
the department of Motor Vehicles to<lb/>
do all road testing of prospective<lb/>
new applicants for a Coach Motor<lb/>
Vehicle license. These licenses are<lb/>
required to operate a bus in NC.<lb/>
Grunden also said the accident<lb/>
rate for campus buses is low here at<lb/>
ECU.<lb/>
"We have had three incidents<lb/>
involving buses since I have been<lb/>
here, most of which involved parked<lb/>
cars, and the reason I call them inci-<lb/>
dents is because of the amount of<lb/>
damage that was involved in each<lb/>
one Grunden said.<lb/>
Grunden said that none of the<lb/>
accidents had caused any more than<lb/>
$1000 in damage. Grunden also said<lb/>

that a drug test was mandatory after<lb/>
any type incident, and the driver was<lb/>
placed on probation for an unspeci-<lb/>
fied amount of time.<lb/>
The condition of the buses has<lb/>
also been questioned.<lb/>
"Most of the buses are newer<lb/>
models Grunden said.<lb/>
Grunden also said they didn't<lb/>
have any more problems than one<lb/>
would expect, but the biggest two<lb/>
problems encountered were getting<lb/>
the buses repaired and the brakes.<lb/>
"The majority of the problems<lb/>
we run into are brakes. The buses<lb/>
we use are pretty much designed for<lb/>
rural riding, and all the stopping and<lb/>
going tends to wear the brakes out<lb/>
pretty quick Grunden said.<lb/>
However, over-sized brake assem-<lb/>
blies were used to help combat this<lb/>
problem.<lb/>

Have you ever waited 20 minutes in the freezing cold for a late bus, just to get on and realize<lb/>
there are no warm seats left?<lb/>
Instead you are forced to stand in a crowded aisle, crammed in like a tomato on a sandwich.<lb/>
In ease you have not noticed, many of the buses have been dangerously overcrowded and some<lb/>
are not running any more. Either too many students are allowed on the bus at one time or they<lb/>
are being left to wait for a bus that is never coming.<lb/>
Wc think the student body is being short-changed by the Transit Department.<lb/>
fcarl Granden, the transit director, probably felt like a captain taking over a sinking ship when<lb/>
hekook the helm last year. Transit had management problems last spring when officials discov-<lb/>
ered the previous director was spending our student fees in questionable ways. Exact details are<lb/>
?rjjf sketchy, but general excessive spending was the finding made by Student Life when they<lb/>
rettewed the situation. Naturally Grunden's decisions will be more closely scrutinized than pre-<lb/>
viifts directors, but he needs to patch the holes in the ship raster.<lb/>
$lfhy would you change the bus route and not tell anyone, just leaving them there to wait? Why<lb/>
wflild you pile students in the seat and in the aisle to the point where they are hot, sweaty and<lb/>
stptt of breath? This is a disaster waiting to happen. Never mind the fact that it makes the ride<lb/>
extremely uncomfortable. It is imperative that students catch the right bus at the right time, but<lb/>
isjft worth risking your life? We at TEC think not.<lb/>
$bo many students' lives are placed in jeopardy each day as they are crammed onto these<lb/>
bates or left behind. It is not right and we do not have to take it. Considering the fact that too<lb/>
majiy students are on the bus, being left at bus stops, and breaking bus fire codes, we think<lb/>
acjfion should be taken.<lb/>
'Vfe are tharMul Transit is finally addressed these issues. We just hope these are not empty<lb/>
ptjpniaes or plans never put into action. We haven't seen any of the changes yet. We do have faith,<lb/>
tgh.<lb/>
3ffc hope that soon they no longer have trouble finding student-employees, update run-down<lb/>
bujes and maybe add some more routes. We know that money is always an issue, but if so many<lb/>
st&amp;tents' lives are being put in danger, then there should be something done about it. As many<lb/>

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

I) W. !? Wll. 1.1 1so<lb/>
tSSISTAN1 LI FESTYLf EDITOR<lb/>
A slice of history will soon be experi-<lb/>
enced again at ECU in the guise of<lb/>
music. On Feb. 6, the Bolshoi<lb/>
Svmphony Orchestra. Russia's oldest<lb/>
group of professional musicians, will<lb/>
return to Greenville, offering a sound<lb/>
that dates back to 1776 and is still<lb/>
going strong into the new millenni-<lb/>
um.<lb/>
Although the Bolshoi Orchestra is<lb/>
now touring solo, such has not always<lb/>
been the case. By the time the<lb/>
Bolshoi Theatre earned the distinc-<lb/>
tion of becoming a state institution in<lb/>
1806. the Orchestra had made a name<lb/>
for itself by playing for ballet produc-<lb/>
tions. Still, the Orchestra was up to<lb/>
this time simply a background ele-<lb/>
ment for the on-srage drama.<lb/>
However, thanks largely to the<lb/>
inspiration and determination of<lb/>
composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the<lb/>
Orchestra soon became a more<lb/>
focused component of the drama in<lb/>
Russian theater. As a result, the<lb/>
Orchestra's significance expanded<lb/>
and ir began to include pieces by<lb/>
Glinka, Mussorgksy, Borodin and<lb/>
Rimsky-Koraskov.<lb/>
This increased significance<lb/>
attracted some of Russia's best musi-<lb/>
cians by the 1920s and '30s. a move<lb/>
that eventually distinguished the<lb/>
Bolshoi Orchestra as one of the most<lb/>
popular symphony orchestras in rhe<lb/>
Soviet Union. Naturally, composers<lb/>
from all over the Soviet wanted to<lb/>
work with such an orchestra. Since its<lb/>
increased popularity, such notable<lb/>
conductors as Svetlanov. Rozhdest-<lb/>
venskv and Samosud have worked<lb/>
with the Orchestra. The Orchestra's<lb/>
famed reputation has even attracted<lb/>
composers from other countries.<lb/>
(Currently, about 300 musicians are<lb/>
in the Bolshoi Orchestra, and wirh<lb/>
their talents the Orchestra has toured<lb/>
across Europe and Japan with the<lb/>
Bolshoi Opera and recorded several<lb/>
acclaimed albums, including Swan<lb/>
hike, The Sleeping Beauty. The Sutmuker<lb/>
and Great Russian Opera Choruses<lb/>
(which also featured rhe Bolshoi<lb/>
Opera Chorus),<lb/>
In 1993. Maestro Lazarev lead the<lb/>
Orchestra on its first tour of the US<lb/>
which was received with open arms<lb/>
and wide critical praise. This tour car-<lb/>
ried the group everywhere from the<lb/>
John F. Kennedy Center for<lb/>
Performing Arts in Washington D.C.<lb/>
to New York Citv's Carnegie Hall.<lb/>
As the Orchestra's music director<lb/>

The mind of a child is truly an amaz-<lb/>
ing thing. Children attach a very spe-<lb/>
cific sense of wonder to everything<lb/>
they do. Life is new and exciting, and<lb/>
trw v have the energy to explore it all,<lb/>
making the world their own.<lb/>
What happens to this enthusiasm<lb/>
for life? At what point do children<lb/>
stop pretending: And why Who<lb/>
decides when it is time to "put away<lb/>
our childish things?"<lb/>
I've tried verv hard to maintain my<lb/>
innocence about the world. Maybe<lb/>
there are a lot of things out there that<lb/>
should weigh me down and turn me<lb/>
into a depressed, exhausted cynic,<lb/>
but I only get one shot at this life, and<lb/>
pctsonally I'd rather not spend it with<lb/>
a permanently bad attitude.<lb/>
One of the ways I manage to<lb/>
rerain my childhood is bv spending as<lb/>
much time with children as I can.<lb/>
Kids are a never-ending fountain of<lb/>
youth - the more time I spend with<lb/>
them, the younger I feel. And the<lb/>
more time I spend with kids, the<lb/>

SENIOR WRITF.R<lb/>
"As I listen to the cemetery trees is<lb/>
one of Jakob Dylan's favorite lyrics on<lb/>
The Wallflower's sophomore release,<lb/>
Bringing Down The Horse. Although the<lb/>
album has been out for a little while,<lb/>
it has recently received some<lb/>
renewed interest.<lb/>
.And it's easy to see why. Besides<lb/>
the lyrics, there are other good things<lb/>
to look for on Bringing Down The Horse.<lb/>
like the band's sound, backing vocals,<lb/>
personality, etc. It's all there.<lb/>
The band is composed of five<lb/>
members: Jakob Dylan (vocals, gui-<lb/>
tars), Rami Jaffee (pianos, B3, upright<lb/>
piano, vox continental), Greg<lb/>
Richling (bass), Michael Ward (gui-<lb/>
tar), and Mario Calire (drums). They<lb/>
started a few years ago, apparently<lb/>
because of their lead singer's roots.<lb/>
You see, Jakob is the son of Bob<lb/>
Dylan, the incredible folk singer who<lb/>
spoke tunes through one of the most<lb/>
difficult times in .American history,<lb/>
the Vietnam War.<lb/>
After hearing the record, it is<lb/>
apparent that genetics are a useful<lb/>
tool which Jakob latches onto. I can<lb/>
definitely sense the similarity in vocal<lb/>
tone and structure. Not only does<lb/>
Jakob sound like his father, but he<lb/>
composes his music in a respectful<lb/>
way as well.<lb/>
The album opens with a song<lb/>
called "One Headlight the band's<lb/>
newest single. First off, the sound<lb/>
quality is amazing. Each track was laid<lb/>
down carefully so that each instru-<lb/>
ment is isolated; therefore, there is no<lb/>
clutter in the vibe. Nothing gets lost<lb/>
in the mesh.<lb/>
Of course, the album does have a<lb/>
crowd pleaser, "6th Avenue<lb/>

Picking up an album by a local band is<lb/>
always a crap shoot. I'm not just talk-<lb/>
ing about eastern North Carolina,<lb/>
either. Every local music scene across<lb/>
the nation has its share of sub-par tal-<lb/>
ent. Finding a band worthy of praise<lb/>
and attention is usually a hard and<lb/>
thankless job. More often than not, if<lb/>
you criticize a local band or a local<lb/>
music scene, the objects of your criti-<lb/>
cism will find you. They live in the<lb/>
neighborhood, for God's sake.<lb/>
But every once in a while, a local<lb/>
band appears that leaves critics and<lb/>
fans begging for more. We critics live<lb/>
for these acts. Not only because the<lb/>
band's music is great, but also<lb/>
because our job is that much easier.<lb/>
Music critics are fans of music too,<lb/>
and we usually only want the best for<lb/>
our local' scene. But when it comes<lb/>
down to it. we have to tell it like it is,<lb/>
good or bad.<lb/>
Which is why I take great pleasure<lb/>
in bringing Rodeo Boy to your atten-<lb/>
tion. These three guys from<lb/>
Wilmington, Charles Brookshire<lb/>
(bass) and brothers James Reardon<lb/>
(guitar, vocals) and Jeff Reardon<lb/>
(drums), are simply fantastic.<lb/>
I first heard Rodeo Boy when I<lb/>
picked up their self-produced cas-<lb/>
sette at a local record store. It was<lb/>
cheap and looked cool, so I thought<lb/>
I'd give it a try. Little did I know how-<lb/>
taken I would be with their sound.<lb/>
Rodeo Boy's sound is sorta like<lb/>
brandy, it's warm enough to make you<lb/>
feel comfortable and relaxed, but<lb/>
strong enough to keep you happy and<lb/>
enthused, too.<lb/>

STDs are STupiD<lb/>
(AP) - Sexually transmitted diseases<lb/>
(STDs) account for almost 90 percent<lb/>
of the most frequently reported infec-<lb/>
tious diseases in the United States,<lb/>
according to the Centers for Disease<lb/>
Control and Prevention (CDC). More<lb/>
than 12 million Americans, 25 percent<lb/>
of whom are teenagers, are infected<lb/>
with STDs each year.<lb/>
Even after recent significant<lb/>
declines in reported rates of some<lb/>
STDs, the United States still leads the<lb/>
industrialized world with STD rates<lb/>
that are as much as 50 to 100 times<lb/>
those of other nations. STDs add an<lb/>
estimated $17 billion annually to health<lb/>
care costs in this country.<lb/>
The consequences of STDs are<lb/>
extremely costly, dangerous and some-<lb/>
times deadly, particularly for women.<lb/>
Most Americans are aware of H1Y the<lb/>
most deadly of all diseases that can be<lb/>
sexually transmitted. But, for much of<lb/>
society, the other serious risks related<lb/>
to unsafe sexual behavior may have<lb/>
been forgotten. STDs frequently cause<lb/>
life-threatening complications, includ-<lb/>
ing potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy<lb/>
and cervical and liver cancers, as well as<lb/>
infertility and severe health problems<lb/>
for newborn babies.<lb/>
In addition, research has estab-<lb/>

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

you into a big change. People can<lb/>

theme. They don't sound the same,<lb/>
but you can tell that they come<lb/>
from the same place.<lb/>
That is, until you get to the<lb/>
sixth track, called "Invisible City<lb/>
It's a slow folk song and it makes<lb/>
me think of the relationship that<lb/>
Jakob and his father might have. I<lb/>
can hear how he's developed a<lb/>
sound all his own, though.<lb/>
Jakob is the premiere writer for<lb/>
the band. It's not a personality<lb/>
ching, however. His music has<lb/>
something to say, and the rest of the<lb/>
band join him in making his sound<lb/>
and message something more than<lb/>
it could have been by itself. I<lb/>
haven't seen such a young band<lb/>
complement each other so well<lb/>
since the early days of R.E.M.<lb/>
If you want to take your listening<lb/>
to another level, check out The<lb/>
Wallflowers. They have a patient<lb/>
sound, a sound that you can get into<lb/>
with a glass of wine, a smoke, and<lb/>
some time to yourself. They're a<lb/>
fast dream whose time has yet to<lb/>
come.<lb/>

length album, and the streets did shrink,<lb/>
was recently released on the new<lb/>
Wilmington record label, Sit &amp; Spin<lb/>
Records. From the impressionistic<lb/>
Norman Rockwell meets Vincent Van<lb/>
Gogh painting of a small town on the<lb/>
album cover, to the crisp, clear pro-<lb/>
duction, to the price (which is still<lb/>
pretty cheap), this record has a lot<lb/>
going for it right off the bat. Add that<lb/>
to the fact that music sounds so good,<lb/>
and vou've got an unbeatable pack-<lb/>
age.<lb/>
Rodeo Boy do their best to defy-<lb/>
genre classification. Most labels (rock,<lb/>
country, alternative, etc.) just don't<lb/>
cover everything they can play. On the<lb/>
opening track, "Monumental<lb/>
Occasion their sound is a bit like<lb/>
Frank Black's solo stuff - jangly and<lb/>
fun, but also focused. On "Too Bad<lb/>
It's Not Summer they switch over to<lb/>
an approximation of the Rolling<lb/>
Stones' countrified hits "HonkvTonk<lb/>
Woman" and "It's Onlv Rock N' Roll,<lb/>
But I Like It<lb/>
But even describing their music<lb/>
this way denigrates the band's abili-<lb/>
ties, because it makes them sound<lb/>
like a cover band. They are so much<lb/>
more than that. Rodeo Boy have the<lb/>
ability to travel from soft ballads<lb/>
("North Stars") to chunga-chunga<lb/>
guitar rock ("Drink Small") to multi-<lb/>
layered pop ("700 ft. Excuse") on<lb/>
their new album, all in the space of 42<lb/>
minutes.<lb/>
However, the best thing about<lb/>
Rodeo Boy is the fact that they're<lb/>
from right here in our backyard. They<lb/>
play regularlv in this area, the new<lb/>
album was recorded at Raleigh's Wave<lb/>
Castle Studios and Chapel Hill's<lb/>
Kitchen studio, and it was released on<lb/>
a Wilmington record label. Sure, '<lb/>
they'd be a great band no matter<lb/>
where they came from, but the fact<lb/>
that they're diehard North<lb/>
Carolinians makes it that much bet-<lb/>
ter.<lb/>
Do yourself a favor and check<lb/>
Rodeo Boy out. Their new album is<lb/>
definitely worth the price you'll pay.<lb/>
And if you want an added bonus, you<lb/>
can also check them out on Saturday,<lb/>

lished a clear link between STDs and<lb/>
HIV infection. STDs make people<lb/>
both more likely to become infected<lb/>
with HIV and more likely to transmit<lb/>
the disease to their sex partner.<lb/>
"More than half of all .Americans<lb/>
don't know that other STDs greatly<lb/>
increase their risk for HIV" said Judith<lb/>

Abstaining from sexual activity is<lb/>
the most effective way to prevent<lb/>
STDs. For those who are sexually<lb/>
active, the consistent and correct use of<lb/>
latex condoms has proven to be highly<lb/>
effective in preventing HIV and other<lb/>
STDs. CDC also encourages those who<lb/>
are sexually active to be tested for<lb/>
STDs so they can begin immediate<lb/>
treatment, if necessary.<lb/>
"Approximately 70 percent of<lb/>

assume their doctors check for STDs<lb/>
during their annual pelvic exam. But<lb/>
the pap smear does not screen for these<lb/>

physicians aren't raising the issue.<lb/>
Physicians should routinely offer<lb/>

AFC defeats NFC in All-Pro Bowl<lb/>
HONOLULU (AP) - Lance Alstodt kicked like an All-Pro. Cary<lb/>
Bknchard and John Kasay kicked like investment bankers.<lb/>
With Alstodt stealing the show by making a 35-yard field goal to win<lb/>
$1 million at halftime, the AFC's Bhnchard and NFC's Kasay kept the<lb/>
Pro Bowl going by missing. <lb/>
Bhnchard, who was off from 41 yards moments earlier, finally hit a<lb/>
37-ytrder 8:15 into overtime Sunchy to give the AFC a 26-23 victory<lb/>
over die NFC<lb/>
Kasay missed a 39-yarder with 11 seconds remaining in regulation,<lb/>
malting the overtime necessary.<lb/>
"I know there were some guys that were a little upset that it went<lb/>
so long because they needed to catch their flights noted Mark Brunei<lb/>
the Jacksonville quarterback who was a fill-in for the injured John Ehvay<lb/>
and won the Pro Bowl's MVP Award.<lb/>
Ironically, Kasay gave Alstodt, an investment banker in New York,<lb/>

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Mark OMeara stood on the 16th fair-<lb/>

a single stroke when Tiger Woods knocked in a 4-foot birdie putt.<lb/>
7Mem could have been on the other side of the Monterey<lb/>

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

DAYFONA BEACH, Fh. (AP) - Rirtunately for Rob Dyson, rhis was<lb/>
the year he decided to scan two cars in the Rotex 24-Hours sports car<lb/>
endurance race.<lb/>
Dyson, a wealthy businessman from upstate New Tfork, finally got<lb/>
the victory that has eluded him in frustrating fashion since 1986.<lb/>
Twice before, he has finished third overall, and another time second<lb/>
in class. And, after taking the lead with eight hours remaining, it<lb/>
appeared that this one, too, might slip away as the Rrd-powered Riley<lb/>
6c Scott MK ttl began to smoke during the final hour.<lb/>
"The problem actually started a couple of hours before when Andy<lb/>
Wallace was in the car said Butch Leitzinger, who drove the last hour<lb/>
for Dyson Racing. "It was overheating<lb/>
"I figured they were giving me the car so I could lose the race for<lb/>
them<lb/>
Instead, Leitzinger dropped to a somewhat slower pace and babied<lb/>
it home.<lb/>
They were telling me it was smoking, but the mirrors were shaking<lb/>
so much that I couldn't see it Leitzinger said. "It was probably for the<lb/>
best because if I could have seen it, I'd have probably turned to jelly"<lb/>
He wasn't alone in his appre' nsion.<lb/>

Many college athletes have dreams of greatness.<lb/>
Making it to the pro's, playing in the Super Bowl,<lb/>
even going to the Olympics. But for most of these<lb/>
athletes, achieving that kind of greatness is just<lb/>
that, a dream. But for ECU'S track and field stand-<lb/>
out, Michelle Clayton, those dreams may be with<lb/>
in reach.<lb/>
Clayton, a junior, is arguably one of the best<lb/>
women's track and field athletes ever at ECU.<lb/>
That may sound like a bold statement until you<lb/>
consider her accomplishments. She holds the<lb/>
school record for the hammer throw, the shot put<lb/>
and the 20 pound indoor weight.<lb/>
"She is a hard worker Coach Charles "Choo"<lb/>
Justice said. "Most of the success she has had, she<lb/>
brought upon herself<lb/>
Her success is do in large part because of her<lb/>
intense workout schedule, which usually takes up<lb/>
a lot of her time.<lb/>
"I love ER but I never get to watch it because<lb/>
of my schedule Clayton said.<lb/>
Off the field, Clayton, an exercise and physiol-<lb/>
ogy major, feels the best place after a meet is with<lb/>
her family or teammates. She hails from<lb/>
Portsmith, Ohio, near the Kentucky border. But<lb/>
she can call any number of places home. As a<lb/>
child, her family moved 11 times. They now reside<lb/>
in Winston-Salem. Rw Clayton, one of the con-<lb/>
stants in her life has always been athletics.<lb/>
"Ever since I was little, I was in gymnastics,<lb/>
which was for about 11 years Clayton said.<lb/>
Clayton ran in middle and high school, but<lb/>
turned her attention to field events in college.<lb/>
"I was always the fastest in my class, so my<lb/>
middle school coach asked me to try out for the<lb/>
track and field team in seventh grade Clayton<lb/>
said.<lb/>
The decision to compete paid off. Last year,<lb/>
Clayton qualified for the Eastern Collegiate<lb/>
Athletic Conference (ECAC) in the discus and<lb/>
the hammer throw. The ECAC is consideretTthe<lb/>
second best tournament in the nation for college<lb/>
athletes, behind the NCAA's. She was also among<lb/>
the top eight hammer throwers in the East last<lb/>
year.<lb/>
Two weekends ago, Jan. 25-26 at the USAir<lb/>
Invitational, Clayton broke her own school record<lb/>
in the indoor shot put by half an inch. And this<lb/>
past Saturday Clayton finished first in the 20<lb/>
pound weight throw and third in the shot put.<lb/>
Earlier in the season, Clayton qualified for the<lb/>
indoor nationals in March, where the top track and<lb/>
field athletes from across the country compete.<lb/>
She chose however to attend the ECAC's again.<lb/>
"I could have gone to the nationals Clayton<lb/>
said. "But I thought that I could use the experi-<lb/>
ence<lb/>
With such experience and success at the<lb/>
Division I-A level, are such lofty goals as the<lb/>
Olympics that far behind?<lb/>
"I would definitely like to go to the trials in<lb/>
2000 or 2004 Clayton said.<lb/>
If she is unable to make it to the<lb/>
Olympics, a future in coaching is very possi-<lb/>
ble.<lb/>
"I have thought about it Clayton said.<lb/>
"1 would definitely enjoy it. Right now I<lb/>
help out with my old high school team,<lb/>
which my mom coaches<lb/>
Whatever the future holds, Clayton<lb/>
should be amply prepared.<lb/>
Anything is possible if she wants it bad<lb/>
enough and sticks to it Justice said.<lb/>

Rugby team defeats Camp Lejeune, 36-20<lb/>
STEVE LOSEY<lb/>
STAFF WRITER<lb/>
ECU'S rugby team got their season<lb/>
off to a dynamite start with a 36-20<lb/>
victory over Camp Lejeune on<lb/>
Saturday. The Pirates were trailing<lb/>
12-10 after the first half, but came<lb/>
into the second half fired up and<lb/>
took a dominating lead that secured<lb/>
their first victory.<lb/>
"Since it was our first game, we<lb/>
were a bit out of shape Kendall<lb/>
Jones said. "We had some rookies<lb/>
and switched some players' posi-<lb/>
tions, so they had to get used to<lb/>
that<lb/>
Jones mentioned Danny Lewis,<lb/>
who was switched to wing this sea-<lb/>
son. Once Lewis had become used<lb/>
to his new position, he was able to<lb/>
come back and score a tri in the sec-<lb/>
ond half.<lb/>
The Pirates played hard in the<lb/>
first half, but weren't able to score<lb/>
much. Camp Lejeune's defense<lb/>
kept ECU from scoring more than<lb/>
two tris. ECU defended their goal<lb/>
just as well, and at the half, they<lb/>
were only trailing by one point after<lb/>
Camp Lejeune had scored.<lb/>
The Pirates commanded the sec-<lb/>
ond half. They were able to analyze<lb/>
what was wrong with their game in<lb/>
the first half and corrected it.<lb/>
"We weren't covering the wing<lb/>
and they kept getting around us<lb/>
Jones said. "We also took the time to<lb/>
set up plays<lb/>
Outside center Eric Kunkel said<lb/>
the second half of play was much<lb/>
improved.<lb/>
"We kicked a lot more in the sec-<lb/>
ond half and didn't drop the ball as<lb/>
much Kunkel said.<lb/>
A key factor in the second half<lb/>
was the rotation of players. ECU<lb/>
sent in three new wings to replace<lb/>
fatigued players. Camp Lejeune did-<lb/>
n't substitute any fresh players,<lb/>
which hurt their game severely.<lb/>
ECU was able to score much<lb/>
more in the second half. They skill-<lb/>
fully avoided tackles by throwing<lb/>
passes with pinpoint accuracy. The<lb/>
"Pirates lucked the ball more often<lb/>
and gained a good amount of ground<lb/>
that way.<lb/>
"All of us could be in better<lb/>
shape Jones said. "By the end of<lb/>
the game, we started running out of<lb/>
gas<lb/>
Stamina is especially important<lb/>
in an iron man sport such as rugby.<lb/>
Each half is 40 minutes of nonstop<lb/>
running, without the luxury of time,<lb/>
outs other games have.<lb/>

lead.<lb/>
"It was nice to play with the lead<lb/>

nice job from the get go. I thought<lb/>
Morris Grooms, Tim Basham and<lb/>
Jonathan Kerner stepped up like we<lb/>
needed them to<lb/>
Meadows pointed out that if<lb/>
they had lost the game, it would<lb/>
have been a downer to begin the<lb/>
second half of the season.<lb/>
"At this point four losses in the<lb/>
conference would have been a dent<lb/>
in our plans Meadows said.<lb/>
On Saturday the Pirates traveled<lb/>
to George Mason to face the<lb/>
Patriots. ECU had beaten GMU<lb/>
earlier in the season 80-74, and<lb/>
handed them another loss on<lb/>
Saturday, 85-81. ECU did have as<lb/>
much as a 22 point lead in the sec-<lb/>

Edwards and Kerner split the<lb/>
leading scoring duties with 17<lb/>
points each, while Grooms pulled<lb/>
down nine rebounds.<lb/>
