Among ECU's foremost concerns are increases for faculcy salaries, information technology and library expansion. ECU also seeks to bring their funding up to par with other schools in the UNC system, and is ask- ing that a policy requiring them to give back Cultural workshop stirs much needed discussion marguerite Benjamin NEWS EDITOR MINORITY STI DF.NT ISSUES Guest Speaker Brenda J. Verner shook up a captive audience at The Ledonia Wright African American Cultural Center's (LWAACC) "African-American men and Women, Courtship, Marriage and Family- workshop last Wednesday night. Verner, a Harvard University graduate and president of Verner Communication is a nationally known communications consultant and human resource development trainer. Having been heralded as a dynamic public speaker. Verner was invited by LWAACC Director Taffye Benson-Clayton to give a pre- sentation in accordance with the Center's cel- ebration of black history month. "This was Verner's first visit to ECU's campus, though she is well known in the pub- lic speaking arena, and we were happy to have her come to the Eastern North Carolina area Benson-Clayton said. "The Center is all about increasing the exposure of intellectuals like Dr. Verner Verner spoke briefly on the scheduled top- ics and based the majority of her presentation on what she titled "Media Stereotyping of .African-American Culture The presentation included a lecture and host of slides through which Verner explained the dilemma of black people in .America from past to present. Among those in attendance was Pitt County Commissioner Jeff Savage, who was accompanied by his three children and wife Angel, who is administrative assistant in ECU's department of English. "There were two things that intrigued me the most the commissioner said. "First. I was really impressed with how she revealed the many ways subliminal messages are interwoven in American media. That's a message that black people and all races need to understand is taking place Mr. Savage was speaking of Verner's use of 19th and early 20th century trade card adver- tisements and slides of movie clips to demon- strate how African-Americans were abused in media representations. "It was atrocious Mr. Savage added. " No wonder it was outlawed in the theater While Mr. Savage pointed out that Verner's speech had some merit worthy informative points, there were some problematic areas. "What somewhat disturbed me was the noticeable absence of anything positive regard- ing the contributions an accomplishments of black people in America Mr. Savage said. "Every national figure she referred to was done in a negative and demeaning tone. It is very important that one be able to distinguish between one's personal opinion and know the significance of it in public speaking.

"The highest priority for us would be the equity funding Brown said. "That's S3.1 million, most of which would go into improv- ing our support functions and academic units throughout the campus. That's where we show up underfunded The fact that ECU and four other cam- puses in the UNC system do not have equi- table funding can be attributed to the fact that those schools experienced significant growth at a time when the state had little money to support their growth. "When you stop and look at where we all are at this point and time, we had a lot less monev per student on basically every criteria you looked at than the average school in the svstem Brown said. It is hoped that the funding equity, it granted, will repair rhat problem. Another request which would bring extra funding to IXl is cancellation of the two percent rever- sion requirement, which obligates ail I NC schools to give two percent of their funding back to the state. According to Brown, the rationale behind the reversion policy is that due to faculty and staff changes during any given year, positions are sometimes vacant, during which time no monev is being used to pay those positions. "The state considers that to be reversion, considers that their money" Brown said. "They gave it to the agency, the agency did- n't need to spend it. so it goes back to the state. "What we're asking for now is that that two percent be eliminated. So that money we don't have to spend on salaries, we can spend transfer and buy academic equipment, com- puters, do renovations, buy supplies, anything of a one-time nature The requests for faculty salaries involves two things, a six percent increase for all facul- t. and an extra one percent to reward out- standing faculty. "The value of six percent for our campus, including the School of Medicine, would be 55.4 million of additional funds Brown said. "The one percent for teaching excellence would come to $782,000 extra for ECU. So that's $566,000 for this campus, and $216,000 for the School of Medicine. It becomes a pool, and the best faculty are given a salary increase In addition to the previously mentioned requests. ECU also asked for funding for pro- jects such as repairs and renovations, resi- dence halls fire safety, technology building construction. Health Sciences Uibrary expan- sion. Rivers Building addition and technology infrastructure. "They're in a different budget Brown said. "The capital budget is handled sepa- rately from the operating budget Brown said that all of ECU's requests are necessary, but that there is no way to be sure if all of them will be provided for by the Assembly. "It's very difficult to predict, at the begin- ning of a budgetary session, what the likeli- hood of any one of these being funded is Brown said. It's a realistic request, but the General .Assembly is playing off a lot of differ- ent priorities within the state. So we're really in competition with other initiatives going on The good news for students, at least for now, is that there are no plans to increase tuition for next year, but students should stay aware that it could happen. "At this moment there is no recommenda- tion to increase tuition Brown said. "There's always that potential in the budget negotiation process The General .Assembly will probably not finalize their budget until sometime in the summer. the east Carolinian STUDENT PUBLICATION BIOG.

The restrictions - which include size limits and mesh limits - will be dis- cussed at three public hearings scheduled for next month in New Jersey, Delaware and North Carolina. NMFS said the restrictions would comple- ment other management measures implemented by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for state waters. Weakfish, also known as gray trout or "pan trout can be 30 inches long. They eat shellfish and other small fish, and serve as prey for flounder, shark and other predators. The fish range from Maine to Florida, but the primary fishing grounds are from Rhode Island to North Carolina.

(AP) - A North Carolina phar- maceutical company has become a major Washington power broker with the help of a full-fledged lobbying effort and contributions from politi- cally active workers. Glaxo, which moved its American headquarters to Research Triangle Park in 1983 and merged with fellow British-rival Burroughs Wellcome two years ago, has been working hard during che 1990s to shape issues in Washington. In turn, many North Carolina lawmakers in Washington have in turn lobbied for or against legislation, and the company has benefited, The News & Observer of Raleigh report- ed Sunday. "They're definitely very power- ful said Nancy Watzman, project director for the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington- based nonprofit that monitors cam- paign finance issues.

In the 1991-92 election season, the PAC did not rank in the top 50 companies in giving, donating less than $250,000 to federal candidates, according to election records. During the 1993-94 season, the PAC donat- ed $440,819 to federal candidates. That amount dropped a bit in 1995-96, but as of June 1, Glaxo ranked 15th nationally among corpo- rate PACs but still behind Charlotte- based NationsBank and RJR Nabisco, which has its cigarette operations in Winston-Salem. During the last election, the PAC gave $59,700 to North Carolina con- gressional candidates. The company gave $10,000 each to U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, a longtime company friend, and U.S. Rep. Richard Burr, R-N.C, who introduced a bill last year that would have speeded up the drug approval process. Glaxo officials argue that the investments are meant to ensure that legislation affecting their busi- ness gets a fair hearing in Congress but affect little how lawmakers vote.

No Glaxo employee got more involved in politics than former com- pany chief executive officer Charles Sanders, who failed in his bid for the U.S. Senate last year but plans to run again in 1998. The company sup- ported him with a $5,000 donation from its PAC and $10,644 in direct contributions from Glaxo executives. Glaxo itself can't give money directly to candidates or its PAC, but it can give money to political parties. During the 1995-96 elections, Glaxo doled out $495,000 in "soft money" to the two major parties, with 90 per- cent going to the Republican Party. The company also spent more than $2.1 million lobbying Congress in the first half of 1996. It employs five full-time lobbyists in Washington and contracted with 50 additional lobbyists in 1996, includ- ing several former congressmen. Glaxo also encourages employees to be politically active and has orga- rape and all forms of men's violence against women.

"The important thing is that employees here are American citi- zens said Nancy Pekarek, a Glaxo Wellcome spokeswoman. "And it's part of their duty to understand what is happening with state and local issues Glaxo's political activity has paid off on issues such as the high-profile fight that extended the patent on Zantac, Glaxo's ulcer medicine and the world's top-selling drug. When Congress passed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1994, it unexpectedly extended two dozen drug patents, including the one for Zantac. Consumers would have to wait another 19 months for a cheaper generic version while Glaxo earned more money on the drug. It also meant a Canadian compa- ny building a plant in Wilson to make a generic version would have to wait until Jury 1997, when Glaxo's patent rights run out.

February 25, 1997 news The East Carolinian East Carolina Playhouse Eric Bogosian's subUrbia RATED R The play contains very frank language, violence and adult content. February 27, 28, March 1, 3 and 4,1997 at 8:00 p.m March 2,1997 at 2:00 p.m. WHY PRODUCE AN R RATED PLAY? SUBURBIA has already established itself as a contemporary classic, The New York Times calling it "Chekhov high on speed and twinkies Although the play can be ferocious and assaulting, it does concern itself with a specific American themeidle hands are the devil's workshop All of the characters are under twenty-five and most are from upper-middle-class, upper class families. They live in an af- fluent society, having grown up with too many toys, too much free time, and little parental guidance. These young adults want to be unique and they compete for their individuality, but the harder they try, the more they fall into the generic mold of "rebels A character in the play admits, "No one's really different, even if they think they're different. They say 'Oh my God, look at my tattoo The riveting aspects of this play to which we all can relate is the electric energy and the destructive frustration. Alcohol and drug abuse are constant factors in the play. "I grew up in the 60's says director, Donald Biehn, "and the drug culture was new and experimen- tal. Now it is the norm. In the 90's, our children have more pressure, more temptation, and more affluence. This can be a deadly combina- tion Biehn continues, "My children are teenagers now and, although the language is harsh and much of the behavior is self-destructive, I am not embarrassed to have them attend this play with me. Our chil- dren need to know that we adults can understand how tough it is to be young and reactive Biehn also recommends the play to parents: "Inevitably our dialogue can break down with our teenagerswe end up preaching to them, and eventually, they stop listening. Maybe if parents and teens attend SUBURBIA together, a new and vital dia- logue can develop To end, Biehn is enthusiastic about this specific ECU version of SUBURBIA. "This is an exceptional group of young actors. They have the authority, the insight, and the training to portray these char- acters with utter conviction and convincing empathy General Public: S8.00&.00 ECU StaffFaculty: $7.008.00 � ECU Students: $6.005.00' , - ' McGmnis Theatre-Carner of Fifth and'Eastern CALL: 328-6829 Cultural continued from page 1 any of her observations, rather I would have liked for her to include those contributions that were absent from mass media. At best, her speech offered a different perspec- tive. At its worse, the presentation, in itself, downplayed the signifi- cance of African-Americans Angel Savage's concerns were similar, but for different reasons. Her children were present at the workshop, and Vemer's comments were geared toward a more mature audience. "I had no problem with the bulk of her content; however, her delivery was a little disconcerting Mrs. Savage said. "Verner being aware that children were present, she could have capitalized on the posi- tive aspects more so than over- stressing the negative The latter part of Vemer's pre- sentation consisted of slides, some in which African-Americans were depicted distastefully and unfavor- ably, and others, in the form of por- traits, in which the subjects were more accurately depicted. "When she got to these beautiful portraits, I saw that as an excellent opportunity to contrast the negative aspects and concentrate on the beauty and contributions of African- Americans, but she (Verner) did not elaborate any on those slides Mrs. Savage said. Mrs. Savage added that Vemer's message was srill powerful and that the observations she made should be brought to the attention of even younger audiences. "When children are exposed to such lectures, it broadens their per- spectives, they think about things they normally wouldn't encounter while watching television or reading school books she said. 'As parents we should not be intimidated out of bringing our children to such pro- grams for fear of the unknown or unsaid One segment of Vemer's discus- sion reprimanded what she termed the "ghettoization" of American youth. It was Vemer's opinion that the appearance of African-American teens (hairstyles and wardrobe) did more to discredit black society than did unfavorable representations of whites in the media. Commissioner Savage held a different opinion on the matter. "When we speak of our youth and the culture in which they are enveloped, it is useful to regard their styles as a display of their African heritage, which in itself is totally inconsistent with the standards of European culture Savage said. "Braids are a perfect example of African cultural heritage that war- rants appreciation for who we are as people Many students who attended the program were enlightened and at the same time shaken by Vemer's comments and observations. Senior Social Work major Kecia Adams said she enjoyed the content of the program and, as with any speaker, found it necessary to sepa- rate fact from opinion in order to draw the most from Vemer's mes- sage. "People took offense to Verner's message because her delivery was more harsh that what one would normally expect Adams said. "Still, that didn't detract great- ly from her message.

Instead they should accept the negative too and concen- trate on making changes. Andrea Daniel, a senior majoring in criminal justice, agreed, adding that while most people would not find everything Vemer said useful, a lot of what she said deserved merit. "Many people who were there did not read into her message, but took everything she said literally Daniel said, adding that though Verner's demeanor was not pleas- ant, her message was resourceful. "The speaker was right in saying that young people make role models out of the 'heroes' that others set up for them, like Michael Jordan and Tupac, when that's just not realis- tic Daniel said.

David Pryor, D-Ark filed a bill in 1995 to eliminate the 19-month patent extension, Glaxo faced a battle to stop the legislation against pharma- ceutical companies, the Clinton administration and public-interest groups. In December 1995, an attempt to stage a vote on Pryor's bill failed by a single vote. It was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R- Utah, a Glaxo PAC recipient who eventually brokered a compromise bill that allowed Glaxo to keep its 19-month patent extension. In October 1995, the company gave $5 million to the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute, which had been founded by a major Republican Party donor and Hatch supporter. Opponents saw the donation as a favor to Hatch, but Glaxo officials insist it was not political. "One of the areas we are heavily involved in is cancer research Pekarck said.

Last 'Vvednesday's meeting was the 14th and the feeling among the housekeepers is one of frus- tration. They feel they are being heard, but nothing has been done to solve the problems of racial dis- crimination, working conditions and concerns with management. ; They marched on Martin Luther King Day to bring attention to their problems, but appar- ently they didn't march zealously enough to get the attention they needed. The housekeepers wanted to meet one-on-one with the Chancellor to help resolve these issues, but a town meet- ing was scheduled. Working conditions became a major topic when a temporary housekeeper, Irene Daniels, dis- covered that she was unemployed after one year of work. This one year employment policy is standard for temporary employees, but Daniels felt her dismissal was due to her involvement vfith the Martin Luther King Day march. I Evidence of racial discrimination came to light when a housekeeping supervisor made a racial slur directed at two black housekeepers. The supervisor who made those comments was given the toughest disciplinary action, short of termination. j But the housekeepers believe the supervisor's punishment Joesn't begin to account for the injustices made against the housekeeping staff. , TEC has printed several stories about the housekeepers and we keep receiving the same types of blanket statements from the university. Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Richard Brown told us, "rfe have always supported our staff, we support and give respect on the job and we are doing everything in our power to fix the problem VAfc don't feel the university is taking action quickly enough to resolve the issues at hand. After 14 meetings the housekeepers still feel nothing has been done. In any other department of the university, would 14 meetings take place and still nothing be done? OR! ' Isaac JOHNSON Sheep shouldn't follow twisted words I consider myself a spiritual person. I believe in God, and I believe that at some point, we will all transcend this life and embark on a new life in some other realm or place or some- thing. Isn't it interesting how all religions believe almost the same thing, except for details? The basic story is always the same: God creat- ed man, man is imperfect, man at some point becomes one with God again. The only place most religions differ is the means in which you become one with God, and even then, the similarities are there. Who am I to say that the Christian God is any more valid, or real than Krishna? There is no way of proving any of it. Ybu are probably saying, "Well, why believe any of it?" True, but that too leaves me bewildered. It makes more sense to me that a high- er being exists and created us, than to say that we were just chance. It's the answerless question, but it just makes more sense. I can't imagine love and beauty and hate and envy to be mere happenstance. Anyway, back to the main point. A lot of people down religion because of the problems that have arisen from it, and that's fine, but sometimes those people don't real- ize that it's not really the religion, but the interpretation of it by peo- ple. The Bible can't start wars, pco- UTTERS TO THE EDITOR pic start wars. There are a lot of people out there who let what they think is religion rule their lives, when actually, it's just their interpre- tation of it. There are those people out there, also, who lead their lives religiously (at this point, you should be saying, "what the hell is he talk- ing about?" Just bare with me). The difference is this: people who lead their lives religiously are the people who would be who they are, even without religion. They are religious because religion coincides with their beliefs. The other people are the "sheep They let other people make decisions for them; they like to have things spelled out for them, and that's what they think religion is. What they don't realize, is that religion is a fill-in-the-blank kind of thing. I really have a problem with the term "sheep and this is why: Sheep run in herds, and run only because the rest of the herd is run- ning. To say that God's children are "sheep" seems a little counterpro- ductive to me. Is this saying that to be a child of God one should just run and not know why? Not question why? I don't think this is what any God would have in mind. A truly spiritual person has a solitary rela- tionship with his or her God. The one-on-one relationship is what makes a truly spiritual person stand out from the rest of the "herd I stress this point to make anoth- er. The group mentality of religion has given birth to certain political groups, such as the Christian Coalition, and the Christian Right. Now, I'm not sure if these organiza- tions consider themselves "sheep" or herdsmen, but 1 do know that these organizations are parading around, professing to be spreading the words of Christ and manipulating people into hating and discriminating against such minorities as homosex- uals. Anyone who believes in Christ at all should know that Christ never once taught hate and condemnation. To preach in the name of Christ is one thing, but to twist his words to promote hate seems, to me, a tad hypocritical. My point is that many people are buying into these organi- zations just because they call them- selves "Christians and I just think that if people thought about things a little more carefully, they could see the group mentality and irony in these groups' teachings. Religion is not a cut and dry issue. There are hundreds of different dogmas and hundreds of different ways of inter- preting each of them, and I don't see a general consensus on one singular religion anytime in the near future. Dining services eats up per-meal difference To the Editor: 1 am a parent of an ECU freshman. 1 subscribe to The East CaroKman, and I enjoy reading the articles in your newspaper. After reading the "Guest View Column" in the Tuesday, January 28, 1997 issue, I felt compelled to respond. This was a terrific article, well written and to the point. I have heard these same comments repeat- edly from my son and other students at ECU. In fact, after just one semes- ter, my son begged me to find another alternative to eating in the campus dining facilities. I called dining ser- vices to cancel his meal plan for the second semester, and was told that all freshman must have a meal plan. The best I could do was to go from the 14- meal plan to the nine-meal plan. Instead of the cost being reduced accordingly, the price per meal went from approximately $3.60 per meal (14-days) to $5.06(9-days). I elimi- nated approximately 90 meals per semester, and yet the total cost only decreased $90. Are they trying to tell me the cost of one meal is only1Why, then, am I paying them approximately $5 per meal for the nine-meal plan? Why would the per meal cost increase just because a person elects to eat fewer meals? The answer is simple, when there is no competition, a student is forced to eat on-campus, and the cost per meal increases when you eat less; the food quality and service don't have to be good. If ARAMARK had competi- tion for its food and services, I guaran- tee there would be a vast difference in the attitude of the cafeteria personnel and in the quality of the food served. I remember going to orientation last July and remarking to the other ECU students seated with us about how good the food seemed. They laughed and said, "It's only like this during ori- entation; you should eat here the rest of the year Apparently, that was all too true. Once they have your money and your guaranteed support, they no longer have to offer quality food or courteous service. I applaud Mr. Thomas for speaking up and writing an article that I know reflects the feel- ings of many other ECU students. I personally can't wait until my son is a sophomore and can move off campus and eat wherever he likes. For close to $2,000 a school year, 1 am certain he can find high-quality food and be treated with respect that a paying customer deserves. Cathy L. Nash v iaoU for 1 .Jmrybfa LETTERS TO THf;EDITOR City officials should apologize To the Editor, I am glad that your paper covered the issues regarding the city district changes. However, as an adult mem- ber of the community, I am appalled at the City Council's treatment of those who came to speak out against certain aspects of redistricting . I feel that the City Council should be responsive to the input of their constituents. It is a sad state of affairs when so many speak out on an issue- and are not only ignored, but treated with contempt. The condescending comments of the Mayor and council members were uncalled for and immature. There was no need to lam- baste and ridicule the students and adults members of the community who came to speak out. Nancy Jenkins actually taunted those who disagreed with the council as they left the chamber on both the skateboard issue and the redistricting issue. Mildred Council accused the young speakers of attempting to take over the city because they disagreed with the council's plans to divide the cam- pus-yet she could not even name the areas of the campus she is supposed to represent. Mary Alsentzer claimed that their input was not credible because they had attended previous forums. Bob Ramey falsely claimed that the Federal government was making them overcome the wishes of the students. Inez Fridley was notably absent. And Chuck Autry didn't say a word before confidently voting against the issues of the concerned citizens. How is our city government goir to work for the average citizen when our concerned citizens are accused i failing to have acted responsibly? It is the duty of the Mayor and council to handle redistricting responsibly and fairly. How dare they turn blame on their constituents! I think that the Mayor and City Council owe the students as well as this city a public apology for their despicable and immature behavior on this matter. It is simply amazing that we have elected representatives th conduct themselves with less maturi- ty than our college students. Katherine Burnette Junior Criminal Justice Council doesn't care about students To the Editor, I am responding to the coverage of the recent City Council decision to redistrict and to gerrymander the ECU campus into four separate dis- tricts. Although the council has made its decision, it is very important for the public to realize that the council mis- led them on this issue. The federal government may mandate that city districts should be equal in size, but it does not mandate that the City Council had to carve the campus into little pieces. The 1990 census data that was used for this effort is not only out-of-date and inaccurate, but the campus region is listed as almost a complete blank area. The City Council is free to move district lines as they wish, in the campus area, without interfering with the legal guidelines that they claim they are adhering to . Needless to say, there are also hun- dreds of other options that the Citv Council could have used to avoid cut- ting up the campus. Clearly, they did not "have to do" what they did to the campus. Obviously, their decision was politically motivated, not legally moti- vated. The fact that the City Council decided to do this against the wishes of the students shows that the council is indeed biased against this segment of our community. If the council did not intend to hurt the students, then they simply could have moved the lines legally almost effortlessly. The ECU College Democrats, College Republicans, President of the Stud Body, a representative from the cam- pus minority groups, students at la and adult members of our communit all asked the council not to gen der the campus. The public input over 12 speakers against and only speakers for the plan. The council I made its discrimination against ECUs student population public and on the record now. I wonder if they realize how obvious it is to the public that their verbal claims of fair representa- tion for all no longer conceal their true bias and actions against the your members of our community. David Hisle Senior GUEST View Column Keith W. Cooper Persecution of OJ. Simpson Once upon a time, dignified Americans like Booker T Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert F Kennedy fought "tooth and nail" against racial enmity and discrimina- tion in the U.S. The war against racial bigptry continued. On Oct. 3, 1995, a jury (mostly African-Americans) acquitted Simpson of the double mur- ders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. This decision shocked innumerable legal pundits who criticized the jury for reaching a verdict in four hours. I might add, the jury actually deliberated for nine months. On Feb. 4, an all-white jury found Simpson liable for the death of Goldman and battery against his ex- wife, Nicole. This verdict will rein- force and further widen the present racial divide in America, and therefore hurt fragile race relations in .America. The civil trial was about money and race and not justice. The Superior Court jury awarded the Goldman family and Sharon Rufo (Goldman's biological mother) $8.5 million in compensatory damages. Later, Simpson was slapped with $25 million in punitive damages. Undoubtedly, these awards were designed to tell African-American men that there is a high price to be paid for marrying a white woman. Not so long ago, Klansmen routinely hanged Blacks guilty of the forbidden sin. Now that physical lynching is not politically cor- rect, the age of psychological lynching of African-Americans has begun. Just as President McKinley condemned lynching in 1901, Mr. Clinton vaguely condemned racial violence and hatred in his State of the Union Address on Feb. 4. Rhetoric will not prevent the inevitability of race riots and upheavals that threatened to cause a "Third .American Revolution The Simpson saga should admonish elected leaders and the rest of the country that some- thing must be done, or God will bring down his wrath on the wicked as he allowed enemy armies to beat down the Israelites until they repented of their disobedience. From the aftermath of the criminal trial to the unanimous verdicts ren- dered by the civil jury, Simpson has been persecuted by mostly whites who demeaned the jury from the first trial, but refused to condemn the all-white jury of the civil trial. Also, the fact that the only black juror was dismissed on Jan. SI is troubling. She is the mother of a lady who works for the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles. Remember, that DA's office was humil- iated and blasted by the brilliant Johnny Cochran who led the "Dream Team" for Simpson during the criminal trial. Further, the civil trial Judge was extremely pro-prosecution as was evi- denced in the way he treated virtually all of the Defense's crucial motions. I'm still waiting for the law professors who degraded the mostly black jury in the first trial to vilify the character of members from the civil trial. Don't count on that happening! The good news for Simpson is that there are suf- ficient grounds for an appeal. The bad news might be that elected appeal judges may be reluctant to overturn a popular verdict against an African- American in California. The Supreme Court ultimately may have the last legal word on the matter. Now that the "Sanhedrin Council" (civil jury) has found Simpson liable, Americans must realize that economi- cally and politically deprived African- Americ v especially in inner- cities, will br "ne more frustrated and suspi- cious -f the criminal justice system. Already reputable pollsters show that African-Americans overwhelmingly belie nat Simpson got a raw deal because he married out of his race while most polled Whites take the opposite position. Will Simpson rise again after his crucifixion? Most assuredly, he will. The cruel, unjust people who value white over black must answer for their sins. Although Clinton asked the American people to accept the verdict and move on (as he did in the criminal trial), that is like asking the Confederacy to accept the abolitionist fervor which resonated throughout the North (with some exceptions) during the 1850's-1860's. Finally, in Clinton's first major speech on race relations in Austin, Texas on Oct. 16, 1995, the day of Farrakhan's Million Man March, Clinton told a mostly white audience: "Racism is a black man's burden and a white man's problem; clean your house of racism Indeed, the visionary President was on to something. Playhouse journeys through Suburbia reviews Jay myers LIFESTYLE EOITOR Eric Bogosian, most famous for the films Talk Ratio and Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll, wrote a play ear- lier this decade called Suburbia, of which Jack Kroll of Newsday said, "(Bogosian makes the mgry young men' of the '50s seem like greeting card writers. ' The play is a scarifying dissection of youthful dis- illusion which manages to be both appalling and appealing (Its tornado energy and language ring out like a boombox with brains The play was just recently released as a major motion picture from director Richard Linklatcr of Stackers and Dated 9 Confused fame. And now Bogosian's play is coming to the East Carolina Playhouse, directed by Donald Biehn, who also directed last season's Someone Who'll Watch Over Me. Fierce and assailing, the play delves deep into the psyche of today's youth. The New York Times has said that Suburbia reads like "Chekhov high on speed and twinkles which seems appropriate considering the amounts of nar- cotics and liquor that are consumed bv the play's characters. Rated R because of its adult content, vio- lence and language, Suburbia promises to be an engrossing and entertaining way to spend an evening at the McGinnis Theatre, so check it out sometime between Thursday, Feb 27 and Tuesday, March 4. Showtimes will be nightly at 8 p.m except for Sunday which will have a 2 p.m. matinee. Also, the prices are pretty cheap - $8 to $9 for the general public, $7 to $8 for ECU faculty and staff and SS to $6 for ECU students. Call the box office at 328-68291726 for details.

I've had to keep my screaming down to a low wail for a little while, mostly because my priorities have been elsewhere (I won't bore you with the details). But now I'm back in the swing of things, my throat is in excellent shape and I'm bitin' mad. So cover your ears and let's get to it. Jay Myers Lifstyle Editor Oass: Crmamte Satdmt Maftr: Ejwfs Mtrmare Hometown: Wmtm-Sabm, NC Awhile back, in a review I did of the Squirrel Nut Zippers show at the Attic, I criticized the local music scene as being less than satisfying. OK, actually what I said was, "Greenville's live music scene, for the most part, sucks Man, did I get some response from that comment. Several people took great offense and made sure that I knew it. All of them went the extra mile to prove to me that what we have here in Greenville is a vibrant, compelling musical community But you know what? I'm a tough old bird. I stick to my guns, believe what I believe and state those beliefs loudly and often. And I still believe that the musical choice in Greenville sucks. When I say "sucks" I mean "SUCKS "fou don't believe me? I'll prove it to you. A couple of weeks back, one of my co-workers here at TEC found an old schedule for a local club in the back of a desk draw- er. On it were the same acts that we see scheduled today at the same club - Cravin Melon, Purple Schoolbus, the Chairmen of the Board, and Mike Mesmcr "Eyes The only thing that was different was that the Dave Matthews Band was still play- ing here then. (I guess once you get a major label contract and gamer a large following, it's bye-bye Emerald City) The worst part was that this schedule was five years old, people. How many clubs do you know of in college towns that maintain the same schedule year after year and don't go out of business? To my knowledge, Greenville's it. Sure, there are plenty of clubs in the U.S. that keep to the same schedule without fail. But most of those arc the kind of clubs that cater to old farts who have no interest in new music. College towns are supposed to be different. College is ail about opening yourself up to new and different experiences, about discovery. A large pan of that comes through taking risks and being adventurous, something that our local clubs cannot or will not do. That's why I go out of town to see bands. There is nothing here that interests me. In the time that I have been here (and that's been a while now), there have been only five shows that even interested me. One was Squirrel Nut Zippers. Archers of Loaf turned out to be a great show when they came over a year ago. Bio Ritmo, a band from Richmond, Va has pulled into town a couple of times to entertain. And Wilmington's Rodeo Boy has begun to book dates here as well. One artist, Kcvn Kinney (the lead singer of Drivin' N' Cryin'), even played a solo acoustic show here once, but I hesitate to say that was a good show. The crowd at the club was so obnoxious and loud that any hope of even hearing Kinney was ruined from the get-go. And that brings me to the real group who I place the blame for our crappy music scene upon - the students of ECU. I don't blame the downtown club owners, I don't even blame the many (so-called) musicians who get booked here. I blame you. All of you who read this and continue to go to see these lame-ass acts because there's nothing better to do on any given night. (Coincidentalry, you're the same people I blame for the butt-nasty theaters we have here, too.) Why do I blame you? Because you keep these guys in business. If everybody who thinks Greenville sucks didn't support these places, then they would have to change to please us. But instead of forcing them to take chances, you all continue to keep them alive and healthy out of convenience. Ultimately, you only have yourselves to blame. Me, I don't ever have to hear Purple Schoolbus again to know that the music scene bites. I started taking the high road to the triangle for my entertainment long ago. So don't complain to me about how much it sucks here. Stop preaching to the already converted and instead do something about the situation. Hit them where it hurts, the wallet. Otherwise, thing will never change. I'm glad I'm moving Schleigho Farewell To The Sun Derek T. Halle SENIOR WRITER Once again, music for the mind's most intriguing band is out on the prowl with a new disc and a mouthful of solid waste that will leave you won- dering when it's time to empty the recycling bin. Schleigho, a four-man band from Massachusetts whose main goal seems to be ripping their way into the universal soul, take off on their sec- ond release, Farewell To The Sun. As the album started, I heard the different sounds that are Schleigho. I was very impressed to hear the amount of studio time that went into the record. Most of the album is improv - a look at music's walls and what is on the other side. You don't seem to find any walls, though. Nothing stops these people from testing the outer boundaries of the music spectrum. Farewell To The Sun opens up with a song called "D-Funk As to where the band is coming from lyrically, I haven't the slightest idea. Your guess is as good as mine. It's the mystery that is selling their records. There's not much to say about the lyrics other than they fit into the melody scheme like a jigsaw puzzle. They're not extravagant or anything to ponder over. What there is to ponder over is the music. I've never heard so many rests fulfilled, so many breaks brought back to life. This band is tight. From the screaming keys of singerorganist J. Jesse Gibbon to the impeccable metronome timing of drummer Erik Egol, the sound seems complete. Also on the line-up are Suke Cerulo on guitar, flute and backing vocals and Drew J. McCabe on bass and backing vocals. Jazz and funk come together when Schleigho is around. It takes time to master just one of these irreplaceable genres; however, this band seems t have mastered a couple. As the album rolls on, I find live recordings as well as laid back jami that focus on the bass and guitat These, in turn, prove just how much the band's members compliment each other. Not only do they knoW when to step up, but they also know, when to lay back so somebody else can step up. It's rock n' roll played fair. As Farewell To The Sun comes to its) title track, I notice that it's a live one! It's very rare that a band's title track isn't perfected in the studio. I was very impressed with this. These guys have guts. The song that represents the album they're pushing could only be heard one way. If I were asked to compare their sound to someone else's, I wouldn't be auk to. Schleigho has an original sound that comes from a rootsy back- ground, it's something chat Agents Of Good Roots may have touched upon but haven't firmly grasped. It's a jam just for the funk of it - not for any universal success, but for a universal sound. The last track on the record is called "50 Of The Battle It's a jazz groove using a rhyme scheme that may have originated on one of 3It's first drawing boards. Farewell To The Sun is entertaining because it's a seven-song disc with a ton of different grooves and melodies. The songs are all at least seven min- utes long, some of them ranging up to 13 minutes. It's no surprise to find a roots band with so much skill and excitement. Overall, I think the record is a blast. If you can slide into a groove and a mes- sage unhidden, then you're probably ready for Schleigho - a band, a sound, an open-minded groove. 5 E3 CM t RVBB MM SKMNJ Uf it from � fritnd Buy it Una" PwfhM Pries MTV scopes out ECU ANDY TURNER SENIOR WRITER Scantily clad young women and buffed up boys (greased and giddy, addled by alcohol, summoned by sun and sand) are ready - ready for debauchery, debasement, defilement and decadence. They're ready for the beast. They're ready for spring break. They're ready for MTV MTVs Spring Break, a yearly trib- ute to sin and skin, heads down to Panama City, Fla. this year from March 8-18. Representatives from MTV were on ECU's campus last week to audition students for two of its spring break shows, Undercover and Fame or Shame. ECU was one of i 1 schools chosen to take part in auditions for the spring break shows. Frank Gianotti, head of casting for MTV said ECU was cho- sen in part due to research MTV con- ducted, which sought to determine where college students went for spring break. Gianotti and his assistant, Hoyt Christopher, have been on the road the last few weeks conducting the auditions. "Tons" of people have audi- tioned so far, Gianotti said. Only ten acts will make the cut for Feme or Shane. Undercover is even more "com- petitive" as it will feature a group of three males and three females. Fame or Shame is a sort of The Gong Show at the beach Gianotti explained. "It's a variety show Gianotti, a veteran of the MTV shows Singled Out, Beach House and Winter Lodge, said he is in search of "whacked out stuff" for the show. The whack ftoweth over. Among the more notable: an act who does disco aerobics and a guy who snorts a tad- pole through his nose and bring it back out alive. (How do you realize you can do that? By accident?) The other show, Undercover, is sort of The Rod Hbrld at spring break, Gianotti said. The show documents the exploits of two groups during their stay in Panama City In other words, if you get juiced on cheap tequila, start five fights, streak buck naked through the streets, vomit in your hotel's swimming pool and sleep with an entire motorcycle gang, MTV will be there to capture your special moment. It'll make mom proud. After finishing the auditions, Gianotti and Christopher will head back to New York and decide who makes it. It won't take too long, he said. "We have an idea of who will carry a show and who won't carry a show Gianotti explained. Anyone who missed 'he auditions can send a VMS tape showcasing their talents andor friendships to MTV Networks, Attn. Spring Break casting, 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036. Include your name and the name of your school. But do you really think you can beat the guy with the tadpole? You could try snorting a bigger animal like a goat and doing it naked. Yeah, naked, that'd work. review Empire Strikes Back with a vengeance Dale Williamson ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR I was innocent when Star Wars first played theaters 20 years ago. I was a child filled with awe, wonder and joy, and Star Wars played perfectly to those qualities. George Lucas' story had everything a classic fantasy tale needed: a hero, a princess, villains, adventure and a happy ending. This film was pure, fun and, like myself, innocent. I lost that innocence in 1980 when Lucas released the second part of his Star Wars trilogy The Empire Strikes Back. Ths film, like its predecessor, had a hero, a princess, villains and adventure. But there was something very unhappy about this tale, some- thing darker, something less innocent, and I loved every moment of it. Last weekend, Lucas allowed his fans to lose their innocence all over again, the way it was meant to be lost - on the big screen. Following in the wake of the re-release of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back has landed in theaters again without any loss of power. This film is just as thrilling, dazzling and intelligent as it was in '80, and it demands to be seen on a big screen in a good theater. gSss�TWl�JM 'IBmUW � IWWl �!���� Tmon man, she ain't worth it!

Set il far Fin Reni it on Video SMtMatian Pay Ml Prict Student Health Service offers advice on how to identify potential abusers Steve Johnson STI'DRNT HEALTH SERVICE Dating violence is an issue more com- mon than people would like to admit. One third of young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 have reported being involved in at least one abusive dating situation. Date rapes, which account for 60 percent of all rapes, are grossly underreported. More than 80 percent of all sexual assaults occur between people who know each other. These assaults usu- I ally occur on dates, within homes and at parties. The assailant may be a friend, lover, classmate, co-worker or even family member. What follows are some recommendations from exten- sion family scientist Herbert G. Lingren, concerning the warning signs of a potential abuser in a dating rela- tionship and what measures could be taken by someone who has already been victimized. It is imperative that the warning signs of a potential abuser be easily recognizable, because in the begin- ning of many dating relationships there may be no violence. The vio- lence usually escalates in severity and intensity. Typically, but not always, dating violence is perpetrated by men against women. A potential abuser will often exhib- it the following warning signs: � Frequently loses temper. � Abuses alcohol andor drugs. � Commits acts of violence against objects or things (rather than people). (It is not natural for a person to punch their fist into a radio if they don't like a song, for example.) � Shows extreme jealousy over the individual heshe is dating. � Becomes enraged or angry when people do not listen to their opinion or advice. � Demands that dates inform himher of their whereabouts at all times. � Commands dates to dress in a certain manner. � Uses harassment as a means of intimidation. � Slaps, pulls hair, twists arms or fingers, jabs in the ribs, pushesshoves, hits and knocks around people. � Is physically or verbally abused at home themselves. It is important to understand the warning signs in order to prevent being a victim of dating violence or acquaintance assault; however, for some people it is too late because they have been victimized already. If you have been (or someone you know has been) victimized, there are several things to keep in mind with regards to coping with this unfortu- nate event. One method of coping with this mishap is to tell a friend or someone who is able to offer emotion- al support. In the case of injuries or sexual assault, it is imperative to go to the hospital or Student Health Service immediately. It is important that the victim not douche, bathe, shower or change clothes before going to seek medical attention. The victim should always report the assault. Reporting an assault does not mean that the victim is pressing charges, but it may be a measure taken to prevent other people from being abused. Another option is to seek counsel- ing from either Mental Health Services at 328-6795 or the Counseling Center at 328-6661. Confronting the assailant often SEE HEALTH PAGE 7 TSP 7 Tuesday.

While the re-issued Star Wars received a great deal of publicity for its added footage and improved (?) special effects. Empire will not get such press. Aside from some small changes (which I don't feel really need to be men- tioned), this is pretty much the same film that was made in 1980. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. The special effects in Empire hold up, and in many ways exceed, contemporary' expectations; the acting is energetic and fairly solid; and the story perfectly blends human ethos and pathos with advanced tech- nology and unearthly creatures. In many ways. Empire is better than Star liars (although that is a debate that will never be put to rest among fans). What is certain is that Lucas' vision and his story are more mature with part two of his three-part story. The icons from the original film are still all here (Luke, Leia, Han, Vader). but they are all explored in more depth and placed in greater peril. Luke, for instance, not only begins his training as a Jedi knight, he is also forced to confront his own inner temptations and insecurities, all of which can bring about his ruin. While Luke is forced to confront himself, Han and Leia are forced to confront each other and their restrained emotions. This is the chap- ter in Lucas' story where Han and Leia first explore their love for one another only to have it taken away from them by the evil Darth Vader. Even our lovely villain has some things to work out, but I won't delve into that issue just in case someone reading this article has not yet seen the movie. Admittedly, Empire is extremely dark and filled with little sense of hope (the good guys take a beating throughout the entire story, and the conclusion is left with many unre- solved problems), but that doesn't make the film an unpleasant experi- ence. There is enough action and adventure to please any child-at- heart, and witty humor spices the overall energy of the movie. While Lucas argues that Star Wars needed improvements, such is not the case with Empire. This film was as close to perfect as it could be in 1980, and time has not hurt it at all. And I'll say it once again for those who may have missed it the millions of times I've said it before: take the time and pay the money to experience movie making at its best the way it needs to be experienced - in the the- ater. If at all possible, go to Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, any place with a DTS or THX sound system. Trust me, it's worth the extra effort.

Downtown Greenville (Across from U.B.E) 757-1666 Pirates sink Seahawk hopes Gordon wins second straight race ROCKtNGHAM, N.C. (AP) - Right now. The Kid can do no wrong. Jeff Gordon passed Dale jarrett with 43 laps to go and ran off to an easy victory Sunday in the Goodwrench Service 400, giving him wins in the first two races of the 1997 seaoon and in five of the last nine NASCAR Winston Cup events. jarrett looked nearly invincible through the first 350 laps of the 393-lap event on North Carolina Motor Speedway's 1.017-mile oval. He led 323 of those laps, and his Robert ates Racing Ford appeared to have everybody covered, including Daytona 500 winner Gordon. But the 25-year-old Gordon, driving a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, stayed among the rap five throughout the race and finally, on lap 350, began to challenge Jarrett. On lap 351, Gordon, using the high lane on the banked oval, got the nose of his multihued No. 24 ahead of Jarrctt's No. 88 and began to pull away. The Kid, who now owns 21 career victories in just over four full seasons of Winston Cup racing, drove off to a 2.43-second win - beating Jarrett to the finish line by a quarter of a straightaway. "It may have looked like we had it planned like that, but, trust me, we didn't, said Gordon, who never led before lap 351. "I was fighting every lap to get to Dale and see what we had for him. "We only made minor changes all day, but our groove came in or something hap- pened at the end. We sure weren't the fastest car all day. We just kept tuning on it and tuning on it. Chang hopes luck of Memphis rubs of on him MEMPHIS, Tbnn. (AP) - If there's luck to be gained by winning the St. Jude Classic, Michael Chang is ready for some to rub off on him. In the 20 years that the St. jude Classic has been played at the Racquet Club of Memphis, seven of the eight players ranked No. 1 at the end of the year have won the tournament, including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier and, last year, Pete Sampras. Chang, who beat Australian Tbdd Woodbridge 6-3,6-4 on Sunday to finally win the tournament where he debuted as a pro in 1988, has never been ranked higher than second in the world. "Maybe it's a stepping stone for me. Well see what the Lord has in store. It's a great feeling said Chang. One thing Chang knows for certain. The 260 computer points he earned along with the $120,000 winner's check will move him up a slot to third in the rankings behind Sampras and Austria's Thomas Muster. , His first victory of this year and 27th overall also came indoors, a place where Chang has worked to improve his game. Woodbridge thinks the work is pay- ing off. "He's got the best set of wheels in tennis. He's able to make shots when he's on the run. That's his strength, I think Woodbridge said. The biggest improvement has come on Chang's serve. He switched to a racket that was longer by one inch last year and finds himself hitting harder than ever. He even hit the 130-mph mark in the third round this past week against Kenneth Carisen. Price wins playoff for second straight victory JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Nick Price of Zimbabwe parred the first playoff hole Sunday to defeat David Frost of South Africa and win the South African PGA tournament. Price started the final round five shots behind Frost but shot a 6-under-par 66, including an eagle and two birdies on three par-five holes, to finish the regulation 72holcsatl9-under269. Frost had a roller-coaster round in which he blew a three-shot lead at the start of play, then rallied to tie Price on the final bole by sinking a 12-foot birdie putt for a final round 71. But Frost left his approach shot on the playoff hole short to the right and missed an eight-foot putt for par, while Price sank a tap-in for par to claim the victory and the top prize of $80,190. It was Price's second straight victory on the PGA European tour, both coming after he finished second by one stroke in the South African Open two weeks ago. "I think I was running on borrowed time the last nine holes said Price, the for- mer world No. 1 who failed to win a tournament in 19. "I was tired. I just tried not (to) make any mistakes. "I need a break and this week I'm just going to do nothing Nico van Rensburg of South Africa carded a 68 to finish third, one shot back. Another South African, Retief Goosen, was fourth at 272. Italian tournament begins without Becker MILAN, Italy (AP) - Boris Becker, citing continuing wrist pain, pulled out of the $815,000 Italian Indoors tournament, which began at Assago Forum today. ATP doctors said the 29-year-old German star will be given a three-week rest. He may return to action at die Lipton Championships, beginning March 17 in Key Biscayne, Fla. Becker, who has been plagued by injuries to the tendons and bones of his right hand, missed more than three months of competition after Wimbledon. The sore wrist forced Becker to pull out from the previous ATP tournaments in Dubai and Antwerp, Belgium. Italian organizers said Becker, a four-time winner in Milan, will remain a spec- tator in the initial days of the tournament. Hard-serving Croatian Goran Ivanisevic the No. 2 player in the world, is the top seed in Italy's richest indoor competition, which awards a top prize of $128,000. Ivanisevic will open up against Russian qualifier Andrei Oibovsky. Cavaliers have no more room for error in final week CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - It was only three weeks ago that everything seemed to be coming together for the Virginia men's basketball team. The Cavaliers had just completed a sweep of their season series with Florida State, boosting their record to 15-6, and were thinking top 25. Virginia didn't make it into the rankings that week, and ever since their play has only justified the lack of national respect they've received. In losing 66-60 at home to No. 4 Wake Forest on Saturday, Virginia showed the grit to stay in the game, but also its inability to win in the clutch. It's a failing that could end up costing the Cavaliers an NCAA Tournament berth. "I don't know what it is senior point guard Harold Deane said. "If I had the answers, I could turn some things around. But right now, we've just got to suck it up. Either we do it or we don't. We didn't do it today Virginia (16-11,6-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) led twice - late in the first half after Dearie's acrobatic drive around Ail-American Tim Duncan, then after two free throws by Curtis Staples made it 55-54 with 4:14 remaining. Duncan made quick work of the latter, scoring on a baby hook and then feed ing Ricky Feral for the first of two straight baskets to make it 60-55.

The seniors were honored before the game with plaques and at the end of the game with a 57-53 victory. Junior Raphael Edwards secured the win hit- ting the Pirates' final 13 points. Five of those six points came from the free throw line in the final 26 seconds. Edwards attributes his success to his team- mates. "They found me in the right spots Edwards said. "Once they do that I feel I can make any shot I take And he did do that. Edwards finished the night with a team high 21 points. The Pirates took the lead for good when Edwards naiied a 10-foot jumper to give ECU the 48-47 lead. The Seahawks tried to rally back with a Lamont Franklin lay up with 28 seconds left, but the Pirates still held a 52-49 edge. But it was Edwards' free throw shooting that upped the Pirates' lead, when he made both ends of a one- and-one with 26 seconds left. Just 15 seconds later, he sank another foul shot and with 3.3 left he iced the game with two more free throws. Teammate Othello Meadows said Edwards was doing everything the team needed him to do in the final minutes. "He was rebounding, playing defense, scoring � basically the last four minutes he carried us and did everything we needed him to do Meadows said. Morris Grooms, who ended the night with two points, agrees. "He was making shots he wasn't making in the past couple of games Grooms said. Head Coach Joe Dooley noted that while Edwards did step it up, everybody contributed to the team's victory. "Raphael Edwards stepped up, our seniors stepped up Dooley said. "It was a very good team effort Junior Dink Peters was the only other Pirate in double figures scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Peters knew the importance of this game with the tournament coming up later this week. "It's very relieving Peters said. "We got the monkey off our back. We're starting to make some more steps and hopefully we can carry this momentum into the tournament and get on top Before this win, the Pirates last CAA win came on Feb. 1, over George Mason. Senior Tim Basham, who had missed the last three games with the flu, came out and scored five points and snagged six rebounds in 29 minutes. He said Dooley put a special emphasis on defense during practice in preparation for the game. "He was stressing that the whole week Basham said. "Get out and pressure the ball and don't give them any open looks and just rebound the ball and box out. That's what we did and we came up with a victory As a team ECU out-rebounded the Seahawks 36-23. The Pirates moved to 8-7 in the CAA with the win and 16-9 overall.

PHOTO BY CHRIS SAYD0SH Seniors bid farewell to Minges Travis newkirk STAFF WRITER Four senior basketball players played their final home game Saturday in Minges to a packed house. Tim Basham, Jonathan Kerner, Morris Grooms and Don Douglas left their home basketball court one last time going out as winners. "You can't even put into words what these kids mean to us Head Coach Joe Dooley said. "Irregardless to basketball I love these kids to death. They're great people These are the kids who took a chance and came here. All four of these kids did it. We are indebted to them Junior Othello Meadows wanted to make sure these hard working seniors gpt one final victory in Minges. "They worked too hard and have done too much for this program to go out any other way at home Meadows said. Tim Basham, from Roanoke, Va has been a four year player at ECU, and has had an increasingly outstand- ing career at ECU. During this time he has been known throughout the CAA as an excellent outside shooter. Pirate fans have been accustomed to seeing Basham roll off a screen and hit a long range jumper. Under former Head Coach Eddie Payne and current Head Coach Dooley, Basham has excelled in other areas of basketball such as passing the ball, court awareness and leadership. Basham said it was important for him to play on senior night after com- ing off a bad case of the flu. "It came quick. It seemed like I just got here. I was determined to play tonight, and I wanted to play the best I could play Basham said. Jonathan Kerner, a native of Atlanta and a transfer from Florida State, has found a home in Pirate country. He has established dominance at the cen- ter position during the past two sea- sons. Kerner has matured as a player on the court, improving his inside game and becoming a complete player in the low post. Kerner was not able to play his last home game on Saturday because of a broken hand he suffered when playing VCU a couple of weeks ago. "It's not the way I pictured my senior night, but I'm proud of the guys and how they played. Hopefully I'll make it back for the tournament Kerner said. Morris Grooms came to ECU last season after transferring from Pasco- Hcrnando Junior College. Grooms' cat-like quickness and impressive leaping ability has been a great addi- tion to ECU. Groom's senior season has been a special one, becoming more of a leader off the court. "Coach wanted me to step up and tell the junior college players what to expect Grooms said. Grooms has also made great strides toward the improvement of his ball handling skills and his outside shoot- ing. "My entire game has flourished; with Coach helping me out and pol- ishing my skills I've gotten better Grooms said. Don Douglas from Palls Church, Va. hasn't seen a lot of playing time at ECU, but made the most of his oppor- tunities when he played on the court. Douglas said that playing basketball for ECU gave him a lot of life experi- ence. "I enjoyed the traveling and going to places that I probably wouldn't have been able to get to Douglas. said. The seniors will be making one last run at making it into the NCAA tour nament as they travel to Richmond for the CAA championships later this week. The victor of the championship game receives an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. Women secure sixth Tracy Laubach SENIOR WRITER The Lady Pirates met with the Rams from Virginia Commonwealth in their last regular game of the season on Sunday. Both teams headed into the game with a 5-10 conference record. The Pirates, led by Jen Cox and Melanie Gillem with 11 points each, claimed their second consecutive win over VCU with a final score of 62-41. The victory has secured ECU the sixth- seed position for the CAA tournament, which will begin Thursday in Richmond. In the first half, ECU's Mary Thorn put the first points on the board for the Pirates with a lay up at 17:58. VCUs Meredith Sisson and Chevette Waller answered with two shots that gave the Rams their only lead throughout the entire game. With 8:42 remaining, Gillem sunk one of three three-pointers to give the Pirates a four point lead, 16-12. Seconds later, VCU's Monifa Coleman scored two, and at 5:29, teammate Alfyn Lewis stepped to the line to shoot two free throws and tie the game 16-16. Lady Pirate Ashanta Sellers regained the lead for the ECU with a 17-foot jump shot at 5:02. The half ended with a three-point field goal by Misty Home, and a Pirate lead 27-25. In the second half, the Pirates domi- nated the court. Laurie Ashenfelder put two on the board for ECU with 12:02 of play time remaining, and within two minutes, Gillem sent in two more three-pointers to put the Pirates ahead by 12. Senior Tracey Kelley sent two balls to the hoop in the 14th minute of the second half to increase the Pirate lead to 16. A foul shot by Sellers, along with a shot from underneath by Danielle Melvin and a three-pointer from Thorn ended not only the game, but also the season with a Pirate victory. Head Coach Anne Donovan was extremely pleased with the work her girls did on the court, especially in the second half. "The second half was the kind of game we'd like to have every time we play Donovan said. "It was a combina- tion of everyone getting the job done and helping each other out Coming off an injury, Ashenfelder played hard for 32 minutes in her last home game. She put seven points on the board for ECU and had nine rebounds. "I knew that we had to win this game to be in sixth place Ashenfelder said. "We had nothing to lose and every- thing to gain In the past few weeks, the Lady Pirates have worked hard to turn their season around and finish strong. According to Kelley, the girls have shown how much they want to win by playing with a lot of heart as a unit. "We decided that we wanted to do something that hasn't been done in the past four years, and we did what we had to do to get the job done Kelley said. The conference tournament is something that both the coaches and the athletes are excited about. ECU's first challenge will come from Richmond. After losing to the Spiders by only five points in their last matchup, the girls are headed into game number one feeling great about having another chance to take on a team they have played so competitively against in the past. "It's not a roller coaster ride any- more Kelley said. "I see the game against Richmond as a great opportuni- ty for us. The third time is always a charm Teammate Justine Allpress said she is confident about playing Richmond in round one because the Pirates can match up to them at every position. SEE WOMEN.

Lady Pirates careers topped with win Tracy Laubach SENIOR WRITER With graduation approaching, most of ECU's seniors are prancing happi- ly arouYid campus, counting down the days until May, when they will be awarded that well-earned diplo- ma. The time has come to bid farewell to three of our 11 Lady Pirates. As Justine Allpress, Laurie Ashenfelder and Tracey Kelley close out their careers as athletes for ECU, each is leaving behind a mark in the history of Pirate basketball. A geography major from Barton- Under-Needwood, England, Allpress's list of accomplishments is close to unbelievable. In a home game against Hampton on Dec. 30, Allpress broke two Lady Pirate records. With seven three-pointers and 42 total points, Allpress grabbed the record for the most three-point field goals made and also became ECU's leader for the most points scored in a single game. The previous record of 39 single game points was held for two decades by former Lady Pirate ath- lete and coach, Rosie Thompson, who today remains ECU's all-time leading scorer with 2,352 career points. Allpress also holds the record for the most free throws made in a sin- gle game (16) and ranks fifth in ECU's record book in assists with 311. She is eighth in line in the Lady Pirate 1,000 point club, with 1,181 career points. Allpress was named CAA player of the week in January and was recently nominated for the CAA Dean Ehlers Leadership Award. The winner of the award will be announced Wednesday at the CAA Awards Luncheon. Allpress averages 16.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists a game. Coming to ECU from Danville, Pa Ashenfelder joined the Lady Pirates last year after spending the first two years of her college career at Lacawana Junior College, in Scranton, Pa. Ashenfelder suffered from a stress fracture this season that put heron the bench until the matchup against William and Mary. Prior to her injury, Ashenfelder started in eight games and averaged 2.9 points. Her season highs include 16 points in the William and Mary game, and 12 rebounds against Richmond. According to Head Coach Anne Donovan, Ashenfelder is an incredible hustler and a great defensive player. Tracey Kelley, from Middletown, Md has played basketball for ECU since her freshman year. A special education major and a member of ECU's "Athletes for Education" speakers bureau, Kelley ranks ninth in rebounds in the CAA with 705. Kelley recorded her second straight double-double game against George Mason on F;b. 14 with 14 points and 11 boards, after having 11 points and 16 boards in her previous game against Richmond. She has recorded a double-double 12 times in her career and three times this season. Kelley averages 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds a game. Her career highs include 23 points against Winthrop University and 19 SEE IA0Y PAGE 10 Tired of All The Paperwork? Come by WILSON ACRES APTS, and pay NO APPLICATION FEE! 1806 E. 1st.

The women staked their claim as conference powerhouse when they set a CAA swimming record by win- ning their third straight conference championship. The team seemed to start out slowly, but swam consistent- ly throughout the rest of the tourna- ment. The first day was our weakest day senior Allison Lipp said. "But we just kept building our lead Rr the women, who rocketed to a 5-0 record at the beginning ' the year, and finished the regular: ison 8-2, getting up for the CAA champi- onship was not a problem. "We were very excited and pumped up junior Sandra Ossum said. "Our goal was to win it three years in a row, but we didn't think that it would be so close Close is an understatement. The Lady Pirates edged Wilmington for the title by only 19 points. "Last year, we knew thar we would definitely win it Ossum said. "But this year, it came down to the last 30 minutes of competition While the Lady Pirates led throughout the entire tournament, they were never out of reach of the other teams. Solid performances by the divers, plus 12 top eight finishes on the final day of compe- tition helped to seal the vic- tory. Leading the charge was senior Melanie Mackwood, who placed second in the 100 free with a time of 52.34. Junior Sandra Ossum also captured a second place finish, this time in the in the 200 fly with a time of 2:08.10. Freshmen Erin Braugher and Cindy Clawson finished sixth and eighth respectively. Freshman Casey Dodge grabbed second place in one- meter diving. Dodge finished only eight points out of first place in div- ing. SEE SWIM. RAGE 10 A. vi Ihe ULTIMATE Spring Break Sale!

Also part of the senior program this year from Wildorf, Md is Shay Hayes. Hayes underwent back surgery in early October and never regained the strength she needed to come off of the bench and back onto the court. Hayes has qualified for a medical red shirt and will hopefully be able to return to the game next year. In her junior season, Hayes aver- aged 5.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.2 steals a game. She was awarded BCLTs Oustanding Defense Award in her sophomore and junior sea- sons. "It is difficult to put into words how much these girls mean to our program Donovan said. "Last year, they were forced to go through a tremendous transition when a new coaching staff was brought in. W: asked these ladies to do a lot and lead the way, and they did so much more than anyone ever thought they would be able to do The seniors will represent ECU one final time at the GAA tourna- ment this weekend in Richmond. Throughout their careers on the Lady Pirate team, their hard work, dedication, and love for the sport of basketball has definitely paid off, but it sure would be nice to go out with a bang. Leave it to these girls to lead the way, because they have proven they are capable of doing it. STEVE LOSEY STAFF WRITER The ECU lacrosse team chalked up an impressive 11-5 victory Saturday against York. This game, their last one at home, was marked by outstanding effort from each member of the Pirates. The whole team played great midfielder Ben Key said. Goalie Brian Trail had a great deal to do with the game's outcome. His saves held York to only five goals. Defensive players Andrew Longaro Theron Goodson and Greg Daisy also helped Trail keep York's points down and allowed EGU's offensive players Swim continued from page 9 to score 11 goals. "The attack and midfield played really well Daisy said. Midfielders John Provost and Rich Lagnese scored three goals. Attacker Brendan McLaughlin also had three goals of his own. Daisy also com- mended the attacks of Sean Sullivan and M�rd Taylor and Kley. "They had a pretty large t&rrv' Daisy said. "They were quality play- ers Key agreed and said ECU was just the more outstading team. They played good, we were just better Key said. The Pirates quick- ly took an early lead of 5-0 that allowed them to dominate the rest of the game. Key credited York's goalie for putting up a strong effort with many- saves. However, under t'ue relentless assault the Pirate offense gave York, their goalies' efforts weren't enough to keep the score down. The Pirates scored five goals that York was unable to answer until the second quarter, when they made one of their five goals. Saturday's game was the lacrosse team's last game at home. Now, they set their sights on the possibility of a position in the playoffs. "I would say we have a good � chance at making the playoffs Daisy said. "I just wouldn't want to jinx it or anything The ECU lacrosse team has a tra- dition of winning.

Coach Donovan is proud of her team for pulling together and being One factor that has helped great- ly to contribute to the team's success was team unity, team members helped to bring out the best in each other. "All of the girls got behind one another Iipp said. "I personally went up to every girl before every race to pump them up. W; helped each other out, we came together as a team when it really counted While the women were busy lay- ing the foundation for a dynasty, the men were turning heads, just as they had done all season. Going into the last day fourth, they managed to wrestle third place away from Old strong when it mattered the most. 1 am thrilled that the kids have come around in the past several weeks and put us in a position to get to the finals of the tournament Donovan said. "We played one game at a time and took every opportunity to play hard and as well as we could without looking back Dominion that night. James Madison and UNCW placed in front of the Pirates in first and second, respectively. "Before we went into the final day, we had a team meeting junior cap- tain Lee Hutchins said. 'We were all really psyched, and we knew that we could get third. W: even thought it was possible to sneak up on UNC- Wilmington and into second place To overtake rival UNC- Wilmington might have been sweeter than a championship. A four pojpt loss was the only blemish on the Pirates' 9-1 record. 'The Wilmington loss was particu- larly disappointing because there is such a rivalry senior Erik Griffen said. 'We went in thinking that we were going to win. We were ahead going into the final relay, but they were so good that day Despite that heartbreaking loss, the team pushed on, hoping to improve on last year's fifth place fin- ish in the CAA championship. Their determination paid off, and along the way, set some school records. Sophomore Paul Pinther set the school's varsity record in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:52.29. Another varsity record that fell was the 200 breaststroke, which junior Brandon Tilrv captured with a time of 2:05.04. L.v.v Office Of � L 8304950 John M.
