Car vandalism, break-ins on rise

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.
Irounce also said that using common sense
is a good way to prevent break - in from hap-
pening.

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

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.

RALEIGH (AP) ? The average number of stu-
dents at historically black colleges and universi-
ties who default on loans is 14 percent higher
than the number of students at majority-white
universities who do the same.
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

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.

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

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.

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.

retailer forced to deal with first
unionized store
TORONTO (AP) - After resisting unionization efforts for 35 years, ViM-Mart
Stores must deal with organized labor for the first time after losing a dispute
in Canada.
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.

Mitsubishi creates "model work-
place" to battle harassment
CHICAGO (AP) - Mitsubishi released plans today to create "a model work-
place" at its Illinois subsidiary where it had faced a federal sexual harassment
lawsuit.
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. It is a business imperative Mrs.
Martin said.
She presented the plan to Tsuneo Ohinouye, chairman and chief execu-
tive officer of Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America Inc at a news
conference. 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.
The company tried to brief workers on the plan Tuesday, but few attend-
ed. "It's a big joke said Carl Thomas. "We all mind our p's and q's more,
but that's it. I'm fed up with it

the defense the part of the report
questioning Heckman's credibility.
Heckman acknowledged that the
report said some explosives evi-

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

Let's talk about sex.
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.

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?

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!

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.

When We Were

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. The Rigees, A Tribe Called Quest,

Editor's Note: This is the first part of
a two-part article. 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

extra treat, the Thespians will also

Ten selections of diversity offered

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? Filled with heritage and pas-
sion, Angelou's poetic talents should
entertain even those who resist poetry

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-

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.
Happy Black History Month.

The Color of Water - James McBride
earned great critical praise for this
intriguing account of his white mother.
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. Complete with the
film's entire screenplay, production
notes and photographs, this is an excel-
lent purchase for any movie buff.
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.

Although The Fngees (et al.)
track is great, the other two new

"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

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.

George seems Oakland-bound; other free agents look-
ing for places to play
NEW YORK (AP - Jeff George is apparently going to Oakland. 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.
The sketch showed a white male with a round face and a thin mustache
Shaq out 8-10 weeks with knee injury
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (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.

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

Lady Pirates split weekend games
Tracy Laubach
SF.NIOR WRITER
The Lady Pirates hosted George
Mason on Friday evening and
American University on Sunday. 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.

continued from page 8
first inning, a fly to left field by
Rigsby left him on second and
Salargo, who had been walked, on
third. 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. "They
showed a lot of character today.
They played the game the way it
was meant to be played
