Car vandalism, break-ins on rise Jeff gentry SAFKTT AMD TMNSFOKTATIOH IMUIS STAFF WRITE rash of car vandalism and break-ins have compelled the ECU Mice Department and Parking and Traffic Services to team up to try to prevent more of these types of crimes. Since Jan. 31, there have been 13 reports of vandalism to cars on campus. The majority of these have been in the parking lot on Reade St. Some of these have involved thefts from die cars, ranging firom radios to a hubcap, while most have been just vandalism. No suspects have been identified in any of the incidents. "We have had she damage to property com- plaints, most of these involving someone walk- ing by and breaking a window or knocking a mirror off, said ECU roHoc Assistant Director Tom Trounce. Since Jan. 31, there have been seven cases in the Reade St. parking lot, two at Minges Coliseum, and one each at Eppes Middle School, Belk Hall, the Allied Health building, and on 14th St. and Berkery St. According to police, most of these inci- dents appear to be random due to the nature of the damage and the time of day the vandal- �sm oocurreo. "It appears that there is not ready a pattern to these incidents, other than the number of incidents in the Reade St. lot Ybunce said. Three incidents, however, do seem to be "Vtfe had three last week � actually all on one day � that started downtown ounce said. "Whoever it was appeared to be walking, and started in the Reade St. lot and continued up by Belk Hall and then went over to the rail- road tracks near Berkeley, just breaking out car windows. He didn't steal anything, he just picked up a rock and smashed the windows. One of the victims, Karl Russell, had his jeep broken into twice in the same week, in two different parking lots on Reade St. "The first time my radio was stolen and a piece got broken off my dash Russell said. "The second time they got my console that was sitting between my seats. The first time I had left my door unlocked and they just opened it, but the second time they cut my window to get in. Russell also said there was about $900 dol- lars worth of damage done to his jeep. ECU Police and Parking and Traffic Services met last week to discuss this growing problem. "Right now, we are waiting for the design engineers to get back with us on lighting schemes and the addition of emergency phones in the Reade St. parking lot said Director of Transportation Services James Midgette. "We are also going to be working in con- junction with the police to extend patrol hours through the evening, and there are plans for temporary lighting in the parking lot until the permanent ones are installed Midgette said.

Doctoral student at ECU wins Student Research Award Murvin Raymond Hymel Jr a first-yeard Ph.D. student in the ECU School of Allied Health Sciences, is one of five students in the U.S. to receive a 1500 Student Research Award from the American Academy of Audioiogy. � Hymel, who is pursuing his doctorate in Communication Sciences and Disorders, has been studying the effect of aging on the ability to listen in noisy surroundings. Hymel was one of approximately 200 audioi- ogy student researchers in competition for the five awards granted thi year. The five were selected by a review committee that evaluated their research projects, and they will present their findings in forum at the academy's April 17-20 national convention in Port Lauderdale. Before coming to ECU, Hymel received his underfgraduate degree in international relations form the University of New Orleans. He served 13 years in the U.S. Army, including a tour of duty in the Persian Gulf, leaving active service with the rank of captain. ECU divided into three voting districts District Three seat explains effects of change Jacqueline D. Kellum AUTS ANO STUDIES ISSUF.S STAFF WFITSt Due to some district changes which were recently voted on, ECU has been divided into three voting districts. The campus was formerly split between two districts, ami there was some concern from a small group of students that the new split would lessen the voting power of the student body. Those students, including members of the College Democrats, College Republicans and the Student Government Association, were pre- scm at the meeting on Thursday night to object to this action, but the council voted 5-0 to approve the plan. The main redistricting decision affecting ECU is that College Hill is now in District Four, they were previously in District Three. The rest of the campus is divided between Districts Two and Three. Inez Ridley, associate director for facility managemendat ECU, currently holds the coun- cil seat for District Three. She says that although some students were shifted around, there shouldn't be any major impact on their voting power, although other ideas.were consid- ered. "There was some talk cf having their own representative, and of having all the students in one district Fridley said. Pridley called attention to the fact that not all ECU students live on campus, and that even if ECU was fitted into one district, there would soil be off-campus students voting in other dis- tricts. The point was made that night that it actu- ally increases the students' voting power, because they can now impact throe districts Fridley said. Ridley said that if the majority of students decided they wanted to influence the elections, they have die power of numbers to do so "If 17,000 students decided to go vote, they could take any or all of the seats on the council Ridley said. Redistricting the town is a very complex process, concrelied by rules and laws rrganlaig protected classes of voters, and driven by num- bers and statistics, and which voters fail into which district is determined by these and other factors. "One district will pick up pieces of one another to balance things out Ridley said. No ECU students were in attendance at either of the first two meetings when the redis- tricting was discussed, and none of the groups SEE I.MGE3 Television-portrayed asteroid really happened Scientists find evidence of dinosaur killer WASHINGTON (AP) - Scientists who drilled core samples from the ocean bed said Sunday they have found "smoking gun" evidence that a huge asteroid smashed into the Earth 65 mil- lion years ago and probably killed off the dinosaurs. "We've got the smoking gun said Richard D. Norris, leader of an international ocean drilling expedition that probed the Atlantic Ocean floor in search of asteroid evidence. "It is proof positive of the impact Norris said the expedition recovered three drill samples that have the unmistakable sig- nature of an asteroid impact about 65 million yean ago. The drill cores include a thin brown- ish section that the scientists called the "fire- ball layer" because it is thought to contain bits of the asteroid itself. "These neat layers of sediment bracketing the impact have never been found in the sea before Norris said in a telephone interview. The scientists, working on the drill ship Joides Resolution, spent five weeks off the east coast of Florida collecting cores from the ocean floor in about 8,500 feet of water. The team penetrated up to 300 feet beneath the sea bed, drilling past sediments laid down at the time of the dinosaur extinction. The heat of the impact would have been so intense, said Norris, that the stony asteroid would have instantly been reduced to vapor and thrown high into the sky. It then snowed down, like a fine powder, all over the globe. Although the dinosaur-killing iarrpact occurred in the southern Gulf of Mexico, Norris went to the Atlantic Ocean, believing that waves from the impact would have washed completely across Florida.

Some of the schools with high default rates are attacking the problem by creating a new position in the financial aid department that has turned into a vital part of the school � the default manager. Alfreds Carrington, the default manager at Shaw University in Raleigh, spends her days counseling loan applicants, explaining interest rates and hounding borrowers when payments show up late or not at all. "Vre stress the consequences of taking out a loan and we stress that the very last option should be to take out a ken said Carrington, who was appointed to Shaw's newly created position at the start of this school year. Those things hadn't been stressed before Shaw students who take out educational loans must make a trip to Carrington's office beforehand and listen to her spiel. She lectures them. She makes them fill out household bud- gets and other financial worksheets. Just before students graduate, Carrington calls them in again for more of the same. And if they miss payments, they'll hear plen- ty more from her. Historically black colleges and universities across North Carolina have taken similarly aggressive tactics, and their default rates have dropped. Of North Carolina's 11 historically black col- leges and universities, only Barber-Scotia, College in Concord, at 29.9 percent, and Livingstone in Salisbury, at 26.9 percent, exceeded the federal threshold in 1994, the most recent year for which data are available. Most are steadily whittling down their default rates, following a nationwide trend since the ( Department of Education stepped up enforce- ment and sanctions in the early 1990s. Under federal law, colleges that carry default nuts of more than 25 percent for three consecu- tive years can become ineligible for student-loan programs. Historically black colleges and univer- sities are exempt, but c !y until Jury 1, 1998. Lawmakers are considering whether to extend the exemption as they renew the Higher Education Act, which expires in September. "Not only are we serving students who arc not very well off and desperately in need of assis- tance when they are in college, but they have a problem in obtaining employment once graduat- ing said Julius Chambers, chancellor at NCCU, which has worked its default rate down to 7.1 percent. "We still have a significant earning gap between blacks and whites he said. "Until we can eliminate the barriers that continue to limit opportunities for people to gain employment, I think one should expect that the historically black colleges and universities will need that exemption "The federal government has become much more persistent, and that's made us much more persistent said Wanda White, financial aid. director at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, which has slashed its default rate in half- to 12.2 percent. � - "When we started looking more closely White said, "we started finding a lot of errors ; Rut of a default manager's work is to make- sure the government knows what has to students after graduation, particularly who need deferments, so they aren't counted as being in default "So often it's just a case of the student not knowing the facts about the lender or the lender not knowing the facts about the student Carrington said. "Setting it all straight is making a big difference .news Distillery complaint reveals problems in Durham Beverage Control system DURHAM (AP) - A complaint from a distillery revealed that the Durham County Alcoholic Beverage Control system had run up more than $1 million in liquor bills and was in total disarray State Alcoholic Beverage Control officials took over the system in January, soone after the distillery complained that Durham owed it $138,000. While looking into the matter, ABC officials discovered that the system had run up $1.2 million in overdue liquor bills, had incurred a $53,000 penalty for a late tax payment to the state; had improperly back-dated checks; and was respon- sible for $1300 in phone calls to telephone sex lines, according to Mike Herring, state ABC administrator. The Durham County Alcoholic Beverage Control system operates 1Z stores as part of the state's monopoly on spirit sales to bars, restaurants and consumers. Laws light on vandalism ASHEVILLE (AP) - Angry victims and frustrated attorneys say the state laws for vandalism must be stiffened or the problem will continue to worsen. Vandalism arrests in North Carolina almost tripled between 1975 and 1995. Wfestem North Carolina has been particularly hard hit. In Henderson County, vandals spray-painted walls and carpets, pulled down more than 100 ceiling tiles, emptied fire extinguishers, cut telephone lines, poured soda in art office computer, broke two aquariums and spray- painted an office copier at Dana Elementary School last Jury. Two boys, ages 11 and 14 were charged with causing $200,000 in damages. But in North Carolina, the amount of damage a vandal creates matters lit- tle. If they haven't been convicted of any other offense, state law prevents judges from sentencing them to time in prison. across Ul'ltlU1 " campuses Lecturer at Appalachian resigns amid allegations of harassment An Appalachian State University lecturer from the philosophy and religion department resigned early this month after three female students filed com- plaints against him with University Police. According to three separate University Police reports, the women said Dr. Young Mann Park "inappropriately touched" them in his office located in I.G. Greer Hall. A university police spokesperson said that a further investigation into the reports is on-going. . , According to university records, Park was hired in 19 to teach in the philosophy and religion department. Park was hired as a temporary replacement for Dr. OHyun Park who is currently in Japan studying Japanese religion and has been with the univer- sity for 26 years. The two men are not related. Dr. Young Mann Park is a native of Korea and a graduate of Berkeley University. After graduating, he was hired at Appalachian. One of Park's colleges, Dr. Frans van der Bogcrt, said, "Dr. Park was a very serious, studious and religious man. He was very much into meditation and was very spiritual , Bogcrt also said that Park had a "cultural misunderstanding when it came to American society. ' Department Chairperson of Philosophy and Religion Dr. Alan Hauser, said, it is most unfortunate that this has happened and our primary concern is with the students Hauser also said that nothing like the reported incidents has happened in the 15 years that he has been at Appalachian. N.C. State senator wants formal protection of gay rights As part of the ongoing struggle to eliminate discrimination, a resolution was presented to the Student Senate which urges that a sexual orientation clause be added to to the university's Non-Discrimination Policy. the resolution, which goes to committee over the next two weeks, would allow for a formal statement of sexual non-discrimination to be added to the N.C. State undergraduate catalog. According to Scott Startin, who co-introduced the resolution, the univer- sity's official position regarding the issue agrees with the proposed sexual ori- entation clause, but has not been formally printed in a medium that every student and faculty member has access to. "This would be a clear statement of prop or conduct for every member of the N.C. State community Startin said. "The non-discrimination policy get printed in the undergraduate catalog, that every student get One striking difference betweer the proposed clause and those already listed within the non-discriminatio. policy, is that every group currently pro- tected by the policy is also protect. J under federal law, whereas the group in question is not. This means "the proposed clause would no really have an effect, in a legal context Starin said. New organization formed at U.T. to increase women's safety A new student group on the University of Tennessc Knoxvillc, campus is out to make some changes by taking the safety me? es instigated by UT a step further. TOTAL CHANGE is the newest women's group on the campus. ll�e acronym stands for The Only True Action League - Changing Hateful Attitudes, Needing Good Examples. TOTAL CHANGE is a recently formed band of 20 students who are dedicated to women's safety and equality issues. "A lot of people didn't feel safe on campus said kristy Starks, a senior in English who took part in the formation of the group. "Wfe decided something needed to be done . Tb better this situation, Starks and a circle of crime prevention-minded students set out to improve upon UTs attempts at keeping students safe. In order to emphasize their idea, TOTAL CHANGE members made posters satirizing the green boards and hung their signs over the stands. The group also posted flyers with personal awareness tips around campus. Events: Parents who smoke may give children noxious snack ATLANTA (AP) - The government is highlighting another side effect of smoking: Thousands of U.S. children get sick each year eating cigarettes. Eighty-one percent of the 9,733 people who ate tobacco products in 1995 were children ages 6 and under, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday Of those 9,733,47 percent got sick. According to a separate study in Rhode Island, 146 children ages 6 months to 2 years swallowed a nicotine product, and 62 percent of them ate cigarettes or cigarette butts. One child ate pipe tobacco, the CDC said. One-third of the children who swallowed the cigarettes and butts vomit- ed, gagged and had pale or flushed skin, but all of the children recovered. Youngsters whose parents smoked in front of them were four times more likely to eat nicotine products. Sporting goods companies join to fight child labor NEW YORK (AP) - Dozens of sporting goods companies, including Nike and Reebok, are joining a campaign to halt soccer ball production by Pakistani children, The New York Times reported today. As many as 10,000 children under 14 spend 10 hours a day stitching the balls for pennies. Last summer, the U.S. government began a campaign to dis- courage Americans from buying child-made balls. A new coalition of sporting goods companies and labor groups were to announce a pun today to try to end soccer ball production by Pakistani chil- dren within 18 months. North American and European soccer enthusiasts have expressed concern since 1995 over reports that soccer balls were made by children. Last fall, the Federation Internationale dc Fbotbol Association (FIFA) said it would not endorse soccer balls made by children.

A provincial labor board ruled Tuesday that Wal-Mart implicitly threat- ened to close its Windsor branch in Ontario if workers voted to unionize. The workers rejected unionization by a 151-43 margin last May, but the board said the outcome was "meaningless" because of deliberate efforts to threaten job security Saying a second vote would be equally meaningless, the Ontario Labor Relations Board ordered immediate certification of the United Steelworkers as representing workers at the Windsor store.

The 34-point plan, written by a task force led by former U.S. Labor Secretary Lynn Martin, creates new safeguards to ensure that harassment complaints are taken seriously. It also takes steps to improve the working atmosphere at the plant in central Illinois, and help employees advance in their jobs. "It is the right and smart thing to do.

Ohinouye promised the company would implement all the rec- ommendations at the plant in Normal. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last year accused company officials of tolerating widespread harassment of female workers. The agency said 700 women may have been groped, propositioned and insulted over the years. A private lawsuit was filed by 29 women making the same claims. Mitsubishi initially fought the accusations, but then pledged full cooper- ation, fired 14 workers for harassment and created a task force to review poli- cies.

Explosives charges dismissed SEATTLE (AP) - Prosecutors dismissed an explosives charge against a man accused of plotting to kill federal agents after an FBI crime lab technician acknowledged that a federal report showed he mishan- dled evidence. Technician Robert Heckman tes- tified Tuesday at the trial of six Washington State Militia and Freemen that his work had been criticized in a secret draft report by the Justice Department. U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour last week released to the defense the part of the report questioning Heckman's credibility. Heckman acknowledged that the report said some explosives evi- dence was mislabeled on lab reports issued in December in the militia case. He also said that a detonator was mistakenly listed with an appar- ent pipe bomb and other evidence was attributed to the wrong defen- Asteroid continued from page 1 Foundation, said the core samples are the strongest evidence yet that an asteroid impact caused the extinction. "In my view, this is the most sig- nificant discovery in geosciences in 20 years Corell said. "This gives us the facts of what happened to life back then. I would certainly call it the smoking gun The ship bearing the core sam- ples returned to port on Friday and the NSF announced the findings Sunday, coincidentally just hours before NBC was to air a movie about a fictional asteroid hitting the Earth and causing widespread destruction.

His testimony prompted the U.S. attorney's office to drop an explosives charge against John Lloyd Kirk, identified as a Freemen mem- ber. Six militia activists and a sympa- thizer are charged with plotting to kill, attempt to kill or otherwise attack federal agents. Some also face weapons charges. Defense lawyers claim their clients are innocent and that FBI agents were misled by an informant. The FBI's handling of evidence in the militia case came under scrutiny after the draft report into a whistle-blower's accusations prompted transfer of three supervi- sors from the lab at FBI headquar- ters in Washington, D.C. sive asteroid hit. At first, the theory had few supporters. But in 1989, scientists found evi- dence of a huge impact crater north of Chicxulub, on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Later studies found evi- dence of debris washed out of the Gulf by waves that went inland as far as what is now Arkansas. It's now widely believed that an asteroid of six to 12 miles in diame- ter smashed to Earth at thousands of miles an hour. It instantly gouged a crater 150 to 180 miles wide. That energy release was more powerful than if all of the nuclear weapons ever made were set off at once, said Norris. Billions of tons of soil, sulphur and rock vapor were lifted into the atmosphere, blotting out the sun. Temperatures around the globe plunged. Up to 70 percent of all species, including the dinosaurs, perished. Among the survivors, scientists believe, were small mammals that, over millions of years, evolved into many new species, including $2 lying in the front of his car, and someone broke out his window for it. It ended up costing him $300 to get his window replaced "A lot of these things are what we call 'crimes of opportunity and the best way to discourage that is to put valuables in the trunk or just take them with you Youncc said.

Okay, now that we have your attention, let's address the real issue. In this day and age, safe sex is not only a matter of life and death, it can be a matter of a criminal record too. Last week was Valentine's Day and National Condom Day. This week is Sexual Assault Vfeek. There's a lot out there to worry about if you're going to be sexually active. We at TEC aren't trying to spoon-feed you a position or trying to tell you whether to be sex- ually active. We're simply saying whatever choice you make, make sure it's a safe, informed choice. By becoming aware about condoms and their effective use, a sexually active student can protect themselves against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Condom awareness, whether or not a student chooses this form of protection, can benefit a student just by knowing it's available if and when they need it. The transmission of STDs has been steadily increasing since 1988, according to the Center for Disease Control. Not only will condom use prevent transmission of an STD, it may actu- ally decrease the chances of the female getting cervical cancer. It could be the difference between a safe sexual experience. Participating in Sexual Assault Awareness Week can help students who choose to be sexu- ally active remain physically and emotionally safe. One out of four women become rape vic- tims. Almost 85 percent reported assaults by an acquaintance. Sexual assault can leave scars on the inside and outside of a victim. Survivors have already celebrated that they are carrying on with life after being sexually assaulted. There are rap sessions and lectures about sexual awareness this week. There are several ways to show support � attend one of the lectures or rap sessions; read the literature that's handed out; march in Thursday's "Take Back the Night" March. The activities offer students not only a chance to become aware about dealing with sexual assault, but also how to prevent it and even how to make a relationship work better. Being aware of sexual assault can also make a possible offender think twice before they commit a crime. College students have a lot to worry about without having to deal with stress from the dat- ing scene. It may be a lot to deal with, but so are physical and emotional scars left by being sexually assaulted or by contracting an STD. Dating is scary enough, even for lucky ones in a monogamous relationship. Becoming aware of ways to stay safe could save a life � if not yours, then maybe the life of someone you love. OPINION! OMNIUM Homosexuals are people, too It is time that the students at ECU opened their minds and accepted the fact that homosexuals ate peo- ple, normal people with wants, needs, desires and feelings. The recent vandalization and threatening phone calls to the B-GLAD organiza- tion are signs of ignorance arid self- ishness. It is said that over half of the pop- ulation has homosexual tendencies or desires. I can't help but wonder if the people who are most against homosexuals are trying to condemn them because of desires that they have felt and are afraid to admit. It's the classic case of suppressed homo- sexuality. People are told that homo- sexuality is wrong, and so they grow up believing this, and during the adolescent period, they are faced with homosexual desires, dream and fantasies. So, instead of realizing that almost everyone has some homosexuality inside them, they repress the feelings and aim their hostility at the group of people who are homosexual. It is unfortunate, but most people think that if you have homosexual desires, that it means that you are a homosexual. In reality, homosexual tendencies are a natural part of development of a per- son's sexuality and in no way require that a person be homosexual. Homosexuality is not a personal choice, but a natural part of sexuali- ty. Who, in their right minds, would choose to be the object of ridicule, discrimination and outright mean- ness? Oh, sure they can choose to ignore those feelings inside and just conform to what society would have them, and many people have done that, but it is not fair to say that they have to do that. A person's sexuality is personal and has no effect upon their ability to love, or feel compas- sion, or do a job, or get an education. Homosexuals need comfort and sup- port, even more than the average person, and if we turn our backs on them, and continue to condemn them, than we are the ones who are committing the sin. It seems that people forget that the most important thing in a rela- tionship is not sex, but love. You may not agree with homosexuality, but how can you disagree with love? Homosexuals are people, just like heterosexuals. They have needs and wants and desires and feelings, and it makes me sad to see people who believe that if someone is homosexu- al, it means they are a freak of nature, or that they are unnatural. A person's sexuality should never con- cern anyone but that person and his or her chosen partner. In no way does anyone's sexual preference affect my life, and it is time we real- ized that a person's choice is more important than our personal opin- ions. Keep your sexuality to yourself, and donit worry so much about other people's. � � � � � ���������������������� "1 I Guest columnist application for Campus View mil vour chance � U . - -erven, who TBC what you think about a certain topic.

L �� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �' Fitness for faculty should have price To the Editor, I would like to write in response to the February 4 editorial entitled "Faculty has right to be fit too" writ- ten by LecturerTrainer Jim Bazluki. I think that Mr. Bazluki has misstat- ed some of his "facts" in his editorial which should quickly be corrected. "Facts" which are causing a lot of confusion in the eyes of a certain group of people on campus, namely the acuity and staff. For some six years now, both the ECU and Greenville communities have watched as the Student Recreation Center has been erected. 1 point out the emphasis on the word STUDENT for a reason. Many peo- ple on this campus haven't taken note of that part of the title, and I think that it is time that somebody does. Mr. Bazluki says in his article that he would buy the excuse that student fees paid for the center and therefore should be only for their use if the university did not use any state monies, paid for by his taxes. Not to disappoint you sir, but that is a fact, not an excuse. Every single penny that went towards this building was paid by that line on each student's bill every semester entitled "Student Fees To be exact, ever since 1991 when the decision was made to build the SRC. And just to correct another "fact $18.1 million (the total cost of the building) in students fees went toward the building not just $11 mil- lion. I think it is also important to point out that in all of his disagree- ments, Mr. Bazluki did not once thank the university or the depart- ment of recreational services for allowing him to use the building FREE of charge during January. Not until February 1 did a single faculty or staff member have to show a mem- bership card to enter the building. And for that much, the membership for staff and faculty for this semester was reduced to $60, not the normal price of $100. Mr. Bazluki also sheds some light on the issue that the building is paid for, but fees are still being charged. This, my fellow Pirates, is true. The building has been built, and what a beautiful piece of architecture it is. But the price of keeping it that way is certainly not free. Student fees, along with membership fees paid by faculty and staff, go to the upkeep of the building. Activities such as aero- bics and the climbing wall are extra- for everyone, including students. So, to be fair, Mr. Bazluki, you are right. Faculty do have the right to be fit too. But, just like everything else in this world, it has a price. You might think that it has no price to each and every student on this campus, but in all actuality it does. Look no further than the bill that every student receives each August and January. And truthfully and very honestly, the student pays for the "membership" whether they use it or not. Those of you who are members of the faculty and staff have an option. So would you like for the university to just pay- roll deduct the fee from your pay- check, whether you feel the need to be fit or not? Douglas Smith Sophomore Accounting . SGA isn't listening to students To the Editor, The Student Government Association (SGA) is group of stu- dents who should be doing their best to represent us. So these students are probably doing their best to hear our opinions, right ? Wrong! These so-called "leaders" are not listening to us, nor are they trying to save students any money. Why is it that the SGA executive council claims they deserve free tuition? Oh that's right, they work really hard for us! Actually the only thing they work hard at is making sure no bills pass that will negatively affect them. Maybe these "leaders" should think back to why they chose to join SGA Was it free tuition? Free books? Money? The real reason any- one should represent a body of peo- ple is to help voice the body's opin- ions, not just their own. When the SGA voted down the motion last week for them to begin paying for their tuition and books, they pretty much told the student body that they do not care about us. Maybe it is about time we have an all-campus vote on this unbelievable topic. But this would never be allowed by the SGA They know that a student with any intelligence would vote "no" to free tuition to any students. The SGA in my eyes is a joke, and they will continue to play it on us! Greg W Rocchio Senior Biology GUEST Virw Column Pant Wright STUDENT MEDIA ADVISER Calling drivers it is always refreshing somehow when a researcher finally confirms something that all of us perceptive people in the world have known all along. It allows us to don an "I knew that" attitude and pat ourselves on the back for being so astute. Such an occasion happened recently when two Canadian researchers reported that talking on a cellular telephone while driving is dangerous. Imagine that. Carrying on a conversation on a telephone smaller than the calculator most people use while swerving a two-ton automobile around slower cars and crossing pedestrians is dan- gerous? Who'd have thought? The researchers compared the risk of talking on a cellular phone while driving to driving while slight- ly intoxicated (0.10 percent blood alcohol level). Well, duh Teli me something we non-com- municative drivers don't already know. You certainly don't have to be a Canadian researcher to see that peo- ple talking on their phones are slow- ing, blocking, restricting, delaying and impeding traffic. They are origi- nating, precipitating, provoking, prompting and causing dangerous situations. Just hit the road between home and school (even here in the metrop- olis of Purpleville) and you'll encounter several of your fellow road warriors who are making appoint- ments for the afternoon, discussing the Hornets' prospects for the com- ing weekend or ordering Chinese take-out anything but paying attention to the road. The researchers analyzed 26,798 cellular telephone calls made by 699 drivers who had been involved in traffic accidents over a 14-month period in 1994 and 1995. They concluded that people using a cellular telephone arc 4.3 times as likely to have an accident as drivers who are not. And those drivers using hands-free phones are 5.9 times as likely to have an accident. (Hey, don't ask me. I'm just reporting these numbers.) And if that isn't enough good news for one day. The National Transportation Safety Administration reports that more than 35 million cellular phones are in use in the U.S and more than 80 mil- lion are expected to be in use by the year 2000. But the researchers arc quick to add that no one is in favor of banning the use of cellular phones by drivers, just avoid unnecessary calls and keep your conversation brief is the stan- dard advice they offer. That's like giving someone a mil- lion dollars, but telling them to spend it only when absolutely neces- sary and never buy anything that costs more than $50. Or it's like saying that driving 125 mph down Greenville Blvd. in mid- aftemoon is hazardous and irrespon- sible, but if you're only going to the store 10 blocks down the street what the heck - go for it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not advo- cating that we take cellular phones away from the drivers using them. Nay, not so. A cellular phone comes in very handy when calling the police to report the accident you've just caused. ' pjM � t review When We Were Kings Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Jay Myers LIFESTYLE EDITOR The year is 1974. The setting is Zaire. Two of boxing's greatest champions - Muhammad Alt and George Foreman - get ready to go toe-to-toe in a collos- al fight billed as "The Rumble in the Jungle This is the subject of the new documentary, When M Wnr Sup. The film, directed by Leon Gast and 20 years in the making, chronicles the fight's six-week history and the trials and tribulations of its underdog, Ali. TUrning a unfortuitous delay (caused by a gash above Foreman's eye) into an all-out media circus, Ali used the unforeseen six weeks leading up to the match as psychological warfare against Foreman. Through this process he became a champion for the African people, who took up the chant "Ali, Bomaye ("Ali, kill him) in support. The film opened nationwide on Valentine's Day and, although we didn't gti it in Greenville, the soundtrack is available. Why would anyone want the soundtrack to a boxing documentary? Good question. The Rumble in the Jungle" was not just a fight taking place in the Belgian Congo. It was also the impetus for a concert like no other, billed as the "African Woodstock The concert was to take place over the three days leading up to the Ali-Fbreman match. The fight promoters didn't want sim- ply a warmup to the fight, either. They wanted to put on a musk festival that would showcase the greatest black musicians of two continents. And they got what they wanted. Sorta. Although the concert went on as planned, with big names like James Brown. B.B. King, Miriam Makeba, The Spinners, The Jazz Crusaders, Bill Withers and The Pointer Sisters, the six-week delay almost killed it. The sta- dium where it took place seated 80,000 people, but only about 5,000 seats were filled when the concert began. Nonetheless, the filmmakers caught all of it on tape. And although the turnout was less than the promoters expected, the concert itself was incred- ible. Not only did the music come from the infamous American performers listed above, but also from 18 of the best musical acts on the African conti- nent. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, the soundtrack for the film does- n't give as much breadth or depth as it seems would be warranted by this con- cert. Of the American acts included in the event, only five of them make it onto the album - James Brown (The Payback" and "Gonna Have a Funky Good Time), B.B. King ("Sweet Sixteen" and "I Got Some Help I Don't Need"), Bill Withers ("Ain'r No Sunshine" and "You"), The Spinners ("I'll Be Around" and "I'm Coming Home") and The Jazz Crusaders ("Put It Where You Want"). Of the African acts, only three are on the record (none of them are named) and the total time devoted to their chanting is a little over a minute. Which makes it even more puzzling that the soundtrack producers decid- ed to include three tracks by new artists.

Thursday's edition will have a special follow-up interview with Reginald Watson and Quentin Joyner. Hot off their recent production of the Martin Luthur King, Jr. play I've Seen the Mountain Top and It Don't Look So Good, the Thespians of Diversity are diving immediately into another show. This time the Thespians will honor Black History Month by hon- oring black history in general with the play Black Voices From the Past, which is set to be performed on Wed Feb. 26. Written by Reginald Watson, an ECU English instructor and the founder of the Thespians, Black Voices is a history play that depicts various historical figures and icons who paved a progressive future for African Americans. These figures take on the form of actual people from history, such as author Zora Neale Hurston, to representatives from certain historical moments, such as a black soldier fighting the Vietnam War. Much of the play is presented through expositions narrated by each character, starting with a tribal chief of a past Africa and traveling all the way to Thurgood Marshall in pre- sent-day America. Through the monologues of these characters, the audience leams about the cultures, communities, struggles, triumphs, sorrows and joys of African Americans as a collective people. As a result, the play is as educational as it is entertaining. According to Watson, I've Seen the Mountain Top and It Don't Look So Good pulled in a full house, and that success ignited his new group of Thespians into full gear. "That (play) was the starting point for my new group said Watson, "because I have mostly new members this year These new members include a talented bunch. Jeff Mobley, who also serves as the group's president, will play Mansa Musa and Frederick Douglass in the play; Laetitia Lisane, vice-president of the Thespians, will portray a slave woman and sing a few songs; Rocquina (Tudie) Vaughan will play Nzingha, an African queen and war- rior; Joe (Big Joe) Williams will be Benjamin Banneker, the great scien- tist and surveyor; Quentin Joyner will take on two roles, one as a black soldier and the other as Thurgood Marshall; and Sebrina Cooke will bring the Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston to full life. In addition to this fine cast, music and song will be supplied by Debra Dixon-Trahan, director of the ECU Gospel Choir, and Cheronda Cherry, as well as an African dance sequence by Tiffany Swinson and Letitia Nicole. The talent doesn't stop there. Capping everything else off will be a poetry reading session featuring dra- matic readings from Tytishia Frazier, Kendra Robinson, Joyner and others. The Thespians are always striving to be positive role models for the community and a source of inspira- tion for minorities. This play is no exception for them. Admission to the Feb. 26 production of Black Voices will be $2, and ali the proceeds will- support the Ledonia Wright Scholarship fund, which serves to assist minority students on campus. The Thespians will be busy this month. On top of their performance on campus, they will also perform Black Voices on the morning of Feb. 19 in the Greene County School sys- tem, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. at Chowan College in Murfreesboro, Feb. 20 at Reginald Watson Dobbs School in Kinston, Feb. 24 at the Pitt County Center on Aging, and Feb. 28 at Ro bcrson Elementary School in Edgecombe County. And, just as an extra treat, the Thespians will also help conduct a poetry reading in Jenkins Art Building at 7 p.m. on Feb. 24. "This is a learning experience Watson stresses.

RECOMMENDED reading Ten selections of diversity offered Dale Williamson ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR Change may take time, but change nat- urally results with the passing of years. And many times change can mean progress. Black History Month cele- brates change and progress, the change and progress brought on by the blood and sweat of African Americans dedi- cated to a common cause - the better- ment of a people and a nation. The fruits of this cause have taken on various forms, everything from improved social and political rights to an ocean of artistic efforts. Within the last decade, many American universi- ties and colleges have opened them- selves up to change by incorporating multiculturalism into the curriculum. As a result, African-American literature has grown into a dominant literary force. This literary genre (for it may be called a genre in itself) is not easily defined. Its authors express themselves in poetry, prose, song, memoirs, jour- nab, biographies, autobiographies, fic- tion, non-fiction, scripts, photography and an. African-American literature is vibrant and large; there is no way to simplify or summarize it. So, I won't even attempt such a feat. I will, however, make some recom- mendations for an invigorating reading list. There are going to be glaring omis- sions (I can't list everything). For exam- ple, 1 don't include WEE DuBois or James Baldwin. But anyone interested in exploring the world of African-American litera- ture should find these selections to be more than pleasing. Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison's mas- terpiece has almost become a standard text for many schools. The story deals with a black man's struggle against racial and social injustices from a world that refuses to acknowledge him. Ellison's simple yet lyrical opening paragraph is as powerful as anything by Shakespeare or Dickens: "I am an invis- ible man I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see mat Colored People - Henry Louis Gates, Jr one of the most respected literary scholars currently active, pulls the read- er into his family's history through this astounding memoir. Examining such themes as racial community and sexual- ity, Gates illustrates how every family has a history and a story worth telling. Their Eyes Hire Watching God - Writing in a time when women authors weren't fashionable, particularly African-American women authors, Zora Neale Hurston set a standard with this novel which generations of African- American authors have attempted to follow. Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, proudly boasts that Hurston'j novel is the most important book in her life. Beloved - Taking place shortly after the Civil War and concerning a young slave woman's struggle to come to terms with her life, Toni Morrison's highly acclaimed novel is essential read- ing. Morrison won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction as well as the Nobel Prize in literature. Maya Angina's: Poems - Although her most popular work is Know Why the Caged Bad Sings, 1 wanted to include poetry. And what better person to rep- resent African-American poetry than Angelou?

He am be reached at Box 1666, Station B, Vanaerbilt University, Nashville, Temt.37235. A full appreciation of the celebration of Black History Month requires a review and a reassessment of the social and academic climate that prevailed in the Western world, and especially in North America before 1926 when Black History Month was established. It is important to recall that between 1619 and 1926, African Americans and other peoples of African descent were classified as a race that had not made any contribution to human civilization. Within the public and private sector, African Americans and other peoples of African descent were continually dehu- manized and relegated to the position of non-citizens and often defined as fractions of humans. It is estimated that between 1890 and 1925, an African American was lynched every two and a half days. The academic and intellectual com- ir �y was no different than the bulk i n America. Peoples of African dfc. -re visibly absent in ny scholarshi, � in HectAr' r�rourae that dealt with human civilization. African American were so human- ized and tlieir history so i lit rd in academia that "slavery, peonage -gre- gation and lynching" were considered justifiable conditions. In fact, Professor John Burgess, the founder of Columbia University gradu- ate school of political science and an important figure in American scholar- ship, defined the African race as a race of men which has never created any civ- ilization of any kind It was this kind of climate and the sensational, racist scholarship that inspired the talented and brilliant African-American scholar, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson to lead the struggle and seirch for the trurh and institution- alize what was then referred to as "Negro History Week A Harvard- trained Ph.D Dr. Vfoodson dropped out of mainstream academia to devote ' his life to the scientific study of the African experience in America, Africa and throughout the world. Under Wfoodson's direction and con- tributions from other African-American and white scholars, the "Negro History Week" was launched on a serious plat- form in 1926 to neutralize the apparent ignorance and deliberate distortion of Black History. Meetings, exhibitions, lectures and symposia were organized to climax the scientific study of the African experience throughout the year in order to give a more objective and scholarly balance in American and World history. Today, this national and internation- al observance has been expanded to encompass the entire month of February. The expansion, of course, has increased the number of days for cele- bration, but its strength and importance lie in the new meaning that has emerged. As Ralph L Crowder points out in an article in the December 1977 issue of the Western Journal of Black Studies, "it is no longer sufficient to devote the entire month to the celebra- tion of great Negro contributions to the American mainstream I believe, like Dr. Crowder, that it is necessary to use the occasion to exam- ine the collective ingenuity, creativity, cultural and political experiences of the masses of African .Americans and other peoples of African descent. In North America, a variety of programs - includ- ing lectures, exhibitions, banquets, dance performances, screenings of Black oriented films and a host of other cultural activities - are presented throughout the month of February to commemorate the occasion. The intention of the founders of Black History Month was not, and is still not, to initiate a week's or a month's study of the universal Black experience. Instead, the observance portrays the climax of a scientific study of the Black experience throughout the year. The month of February is signifi- cant and recognized in African- American history for the birthdays of great AfricanAmerican pioneers and the establishment of ground-breaking African-American institutions. These include the birthdays of Frederick Douglass, WE.B. DuBois, Langs ton Hughes and Eubie Blake, as well as the creation of the NAACP and the first Pan African Congress. Historians may also recall that the first African-American senator, Hiram Revels, took the oath of office bi February 1870. Black History Month takes on a paramount significance as we approach the 21st century. Civil rights laws and celebrations such as Black History Month have exposed the legal conse- quences of overt discriminatory prac- SEE HISTORY PAGE 6 6 Tuesday. February 18, 1997 I f KM style The East Carolinian History continued from page 5 tices and racial harassment. The strug- gles for civil rights in America and achievement of independence by African countries in the 20th century have shown the strength, the humani- ty, the ingenuity and the contributions of Black people to the human civiliza- tion. However, these revelations have not neutralized the prevalence of prej- udicial attitudes which generate dis- criminatory acts in both the national and the international arenas. Behavior may be controlled by laws, but attitudes can only change through education and the elimination of igno- rance. I believe strongly that Black History Month should be the reaffir- mation of struggle and determination to change attitudes and heighten the understanding of the Black experience. In the words of Ralph Crowder, "The observance must be a testimony to those Black pioneers who struggled to affirm the humanity of African peo- ples and a challenge to the present generation to protect and preserve the humanity of all peoples of African descent As we celebrate the 1997 Black History Month, let us remember that our study of the human experience is compromised when the experiences of Black people are neglected or treated only as "interesting" diversions.

Anvone interested in racial and cultur- al identity will savor McBride's recount and his mother's, and his, life. Autobiography of Malcolm X - Alex Haiey. the author of Roots, put great effort into chronicling the life of Malcolm X as Malcolm X told it. The result is an exemplary example of biog- raphy. Filmmaker Spike Let hased his epic film Malcolm .Von this book. Do the Right Thing - Speaking of Spike Ixe, his script for his master- piece movie. Ih the Right Thing, is avail- able as a trade paperback. Rarely has a screenwriter captured such unique characters and inventive dialogue as exemplified here.

Incidents m the life of a Slave Girl - Harriet Jacobs' disturbing journal digs deep into a time America will never live down. Set in North Carolina dur- ing the American slave trade, Jacobs recounts in horrifying detail the ago- nies of being a slave. This book has become so widely read that it is now regarded as one of the standards of slave narratives, alongside Frederick Douglass. Breaking Ice - This is my best attempt to include as many worth- while writers as possible in one text. Edited by Terry McMillan, the author of Waiting to Exhale, this is an ideal anthology of contemporary African- American fiction. Within this book, one can find the works of such authors as Amiri Baraka, Ciayl Jones, Alice Walker, Randall Kenan and much, much more. That concludes my personal picks for the best African-American litera- ture out there. Let me remind you that this list is embarrassingly concise and that it would probably change from moment to moment. There is just too much out there to make a top 10 list. Pick and choose from this list as you please, and just leap into the ocean from there. Kings continued from page 5 Bosta Rhymes ami Forte team up on "Rumble in the Jungle Brian Mc Knight and Diana King provide the title track and Zelma Davis does a revamp on James Brown with "I'm Calling (Say it Loud) Although The Fngees (et al.) track is great, the other two new tracks are examples of the same-old "soul-less" music that began crop- ping up in the "HOs and is still with us today. Why these two bland and nuisicallv devoid tracks were includ- ed instead of something bv folksinger Miriam Makeba or The Pointer Sisters (who were at their peak in the '70s), I'll never know. Needless to say, there needs to be another vol- ume of music released from this unbelievable concert. That said, what we do have on the album is pretty amazing. All of the tracks that are actually from the eon- cert itself are classic performances. But that is only one reason you must buy the record (although it's a good reason). The other is to hear the sound bites by the King of Banter, the Original Rapper. Muhammad Ali. His "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" is legendary. But on When We Were Kings he outdoes, himself. With quotes like "If you think the world was surprised when Nixon resigned, wait till I kick Foreman's behind" and "When I get to Africa, we gonna get it on, because we don't get along! I'm gonna eat him up Ali proves that he is not only an unending fountain of wit, but also the consummate per- former. However, the true genius and heroism of Ali shows in the phrase that opens the album: "I'm gonna fight for the prestige. Not for me. but to uplift my little brothers who are sleeping on concrete floors today in America, black people who are living on welfare, black people who can't eat. black people who don't know no knowledge of themselves, black peo- ple who don't have no future Those are the words of a champi- on. i nij i-DOOR POOLS � 1 INDOOR HEATED- POOL Hijt UEACHSIDE HOT TUB-RESTAURANT � ; : . jP ro i.O PEOPLE KITCHENS WIT.H MICROWAVES 'iia'r BEACH PARTIES � ENTERTAINMENT ' .�'�' irSAll SAIIROATS � IETSKIS - PARASAILS STi .NIS'U") AREA Cl UBS.

But where are Elvis Grbac, Rick Mirer and Heath Shuler going? All four quarterbacks are looking for a place to play next season, along with a group of players who officially became NFL free agents after midnight Thursday. George, the talented but troublesome quarterback who was cut by Atlanta last season after a spat with coach June Jones, now wants to play for the Raiders. He is expected to sign a five-year, $25 million contract with Oakland within a few days. "George made the decision today to exclusively negotiate with Oakland, so we're in the last phases of attempting to put a deal together with the Raiders his agent, Leigh Steinberg, said Thursday. Grbac, who has been Steve Young's understudy in San Francisco the last two seasons, could be headed to Kansas City. But unlike many free agents, he's in no rush to make a decision. "This is going to be done judiciously with anyone we talk to his agent Jim Steiner, said. The Chiefs also are talking to Houston quarterback Chris Chandler, who is expected to lose his starting job to Steve McNair next season. Harding says she escaped from bushy-haired abductor PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Just 10 days before Tonya Harding plans to make a figure skating comeback, she finds herself in the news as a victim. Clackamas County sheriff's deputies say they're taking seriously her report that a bushy-haired man abducted her at knifepoint early Wednesday from outside her suburban home. Sounding hysterical, Harding talked to a 911 dispatcher after she escaped by running her truck into a tree, then eluding the man in a foot chase. "I don't know. The guy hit me several times. I don't know, i can't see, she said when the dispatcher asked her if she needed medical attention. " left him the in the woods, wherever I was. I don't remember where I was Harding looking pale and shaken, spent 2 12 hours at the sheriff's office in Oregon City on Wednesday night providing information for a composite sketch of the suspect.

(AP) - Shaquillc ONeal's return to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup lasted less than a quartet Now, it appears they'll be fortunate to have their 1120 million man for the playoffs. O'Neal, the NBAs third-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebound sus- tained a serious injury to his left knee on Wednesday in the opening minutes of a 100-84 victory at Minnesota. On Thursday, the news was bad - Shaq's out 8-10 weeks. "With or without Shaq, I think that when we play, we're similar to a Broadway play with Elden being the understudy Lakers coach Del Harris said after a 132-117 win over Denver on Thursday night. "We continue with the system we've established here this year Elden Campbell filled in well as an understudy against the Nuggets, and on Feb. 5, he had a career-high 34 points and 14 rebounds in a 106-90 win over the Chicago Bulls. But how hell fare on a dairy basis is a big question for the Lakers, who have the best record in the Western Conference. Williams sues city, police, TV station over false rape tion DALLAS (AP) - Hoping to set a legal precedent calling for better police work and more accurate reporting Dallas Cowboys star Erik Williams has filed two lawsuits stemming from a false rape claim. Williams filed a federal lawsuit accusing police of violating his civil rights The other case in state district court accuses the TV station that first report- ed the story and one of its reporters of defaming him. Former topless dancer Nina Shahravan told police Dec. 30 that the night before she was raped by Williams at his home while teammate Michael Irvin pointed a gun at her and videotaped the attack. , A day later, KXAS reporter Marty Griffin reported her allegation, and police later held a news conference that was widely broadcast. Shahravan confessed it was a hoax Jan. 10, and the players were immediately cleared. El Guerrouj sets world indoor mile record after 1,500 mark last week GHENT, Belgium (AP) - The month of Ramadan fasting might have cost Hicham el Guerrouj some of his strength. It didn't cost him a chance to act world records. After running his first-ever mile Wednesday, the Moroccan now has two world records in 10 days, and he took awav the oldest indoor mark in the books, held by Eamonn Coghlan. In Germany on Feb. 2, el Guerrouj still lived within the limits of the Musiim Ramadan, but thrived in heated competition with Ethiopia's Haile Gebreselassie as he smashed the 1,500 indoor world record. At the Flanders Indoor meet, the Ramadan fast was a thing of the past, but he had to struggle the final two laps as a lonesome figure against the clock. He finished in a time of 3 minutes, 48.45 seconds, beating the previous record by 1.33 seconds. After his victory lap, he was wrapped in the Moroccan flag exhaustion finally taking effect. Baseball team scores victories over weekend STEVE LOSEY STAFF WRITER TRMAtinno What men's college basketball team has the most NCAA tournament appearances and how many times have they gone to the Final Four? How many championship titles does this team hold? :� (96, XL S, '� 'o, frj ' fc- The baseball team played its first home series of the season this week- end, coming out on top in three of four games. Due to bad weather on Friday, the Pirates' game with Radford University was moved to Sunday. But on Saturday ECU would match up again with Radford, handing them a 4-3 loss, and with Monmouth in the next game winning, 9-4. Head Coach Gary Overton celebrated his four hun- dredth win on Saturday against Radford. Again on Sunday these teams would meet up with ECU and the Pirates recorded a 6-1 victory against Monmouth and then lost to Radford in 13 innings in the make up game from Friday, 7-5. The first game on Sunday, against Monmouth, was scoreless until the third inning Center fielder Kevin Monroe scored on a hard ground ball to right field hit by left fielder Steve Salargo. In the fourth inning, an over- thrown pitch allowed third baseman Jason Howard to get on base. A single by catcher Jason Colquitt advanced Howard to scoring position and a sac- rifice bunt by second baseman Macort Jones left Howard at third and Colquitt at second. Right fielder Antaine Jones blasted a line drive to left field and drove home Howard and Colquitt. In the fifth inning, Monmouth got on first base from a line drive to center field. Next time up for Monmouth an error allowed a second runner on the bases. However, a sharp double play hurt the Hawks and their drive was ended when first baseman Randy Rigsby ran to the fence to catch a pop up foul ball. Rigsby then followed up his defen- sive play with some offense, as he got on first by hitting a single. Next up to bat for ECU was designated hitter Tim Flaherty who hit a line drive to left field. An error by the Hawks left fielder helped Rigsby make it to third and Flaherty to second. Howard drove Rigsby home and the bases were loaded when Colquitt was hit by the pitcher. M. Jones then drove Flaherty home to make the score 5-0. The Hawks got their only run in the sixth inning. Three consecutive singles loaded the bases, and a fly ball to center field scored a runner. The Pirates quickly matched the run in the bottom of the sixth. Monmouth's pitcher walked Monroe and Salargo singled. A line drive by Rigsby to cen- ter field drove Monroe in. The seventh inning ended quick- ly, partly due to a leaping catch by third baseman Chris Shaffer, and the final score was ECU 6, Monmouth 1. The second game remained score- less until the fourth inning, despite some good hits by the Pirates. In the SEE MKIAU.

The Patriots (13-9, 6-6 in the CAA) head- ed into the matchup looking for their eighth consecutive win over the Lady Pirates. But they left disappointed as ECU handed them a loss, 67-52. ECU had four double figure scor- ers: Justine Allpress led the Pirates with 16; Tracey Kelley turned in 14; and Misty Home and Mary Thorn put 11 and 10 on the board, respectively. On Sunday, the Lady Pirates recorded their ninth conference loss, 82-61. ECU headed into the matchup against American 9-13, 4-8 in the CAA, while the Eagles brought a 14-8, 7-5 conference record with them to Greenville. Allpress led the Pirates with 20 points and was followed by Kelley, who put 10 on the board for ECU. The Eagles were led by Mary Klima with 21. Kim Campbell and Stacey Meeker turned in 10 each for American. The first points to be put on the board were from Klima with a field goal from underneath. Klima dominat- ed the court throughout the first half of play and held 15 of American's 48 points at the half. Fbr the Pirates, Melanie Gillem put in two three-pointers while Beth jaynes and Kelley sunk three field goals each. The first half was closed out with a 31-48 American lead. To start out the second half, ECU's Laurie Ashenfelder put the ball to the hoop with a 10 foot jump shot. American's Nichole Grant and Kari Gaskins answered right back with shots that put the Eagles ahead by 20 with 12:58 left in the game. Lady Pirate Head Coach Anne Donovan said that as American's lead grew, they were able to build up the confidence that was needed to take shots that they wouldn't usually take. "American is a very physical team Donovan said. "We were not aggres- sive enough to respond the way we should've With 7:01 left, American's Kim Gombola sent in a shot from under- neath to give her team a 30 point lead, 78-48. Allpress answered with an 18 foot jumper and two layups, and Misty Home put in a three pointer with 1:53 left on the clock. The game ended with a 21 point Eagle lead after Allpress sent in a jumper and Jaynes shot one from the line. As the season comes to its end, ever game counts, so it is important that the Lady Pirates put the American loss behind them and move on. The next conference battle is scheduled for tonight at Old Dominion who is ranked second in the nation. Donovan said that the girls will put their best effort out and play as big as they can. Even in a matchup against a team as accomplished as ODU, any- thing is possible. Justine Allpress shoots a three pointer in Sunday's home loss to American.

Designated hitter Brad Simons singled off of a fly to left field in the second inning, but was caught in a rundown while stealing. Salargo energized the Pirates in the fourth with a crushing home run that sailed over the fence at left cen- ter. In the sixth, catcher Flaherty hit a ground rule double to left field and was driven in by shortstop Ryan Massimo's double to shallow right field. Unfortunately, what looked like a sure win for the Pirates turned ugly in the top of the seventh. A double scored two runs and tied the game at 2-2. Radford took the lead in the ninth inning, but Shaffer tied it up again. "It was pretty much a bad hit at a bad time said John Payne, who pitched the first nine innings of the Radford game. "From then on, it was a battle to stay in the game The Pirates kept fighting, and in the eleventh inning, A. Jones avert- ed a potential home run when he ran all the way to the fence to grab a fly ball. In the 12th inning, the Pirates walked in a run and a base hit by Radford scored another. However, the Pirates refused to let the game slip away in the bottom of the inning. A. Jones singled, stole second and then scored on Monroe's hit to right field. Salargo then dou- bled on a fly to deep right and drove in Monroe. A hard fought game ended in the 13th inning when a tiring Pirate defense allowed two runs to be scored. The Pirates were unable to match those two runs, and after a well played game, the score stood Radford 7, ECU 5. The Pirates will hit the road for a five games until they return home to Harrington Field on March 1, to host Virginia in a double header. "The team went about it the right way Overton said.
