r TUESDAY APRIL 15, 1997 EAST CAROUNA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROUNA Students' near-fatal drug use reflects designer drug popularity Jeff gentry SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES STAFF WRITER Two students hospitalized after collapsing at a late-night party are evidence of the popularity of a new and dangerous "designer drug A 22-year-old ECU student, and a 21-year-old Pitt Community College student were found unconscious on the front lawn of 506 E. 10th St. on April 4. Several members of the Sigma Pi Fraternity, who were sponsering a late-night party, notified the Greenville Rescue Squad when they found the students on their lawn, unable to breathe. Rescue personnel arrived on the scene at 3:46 a.m. and found the students in a coma-like state. The students were taken to Pitt County Memorial Hospital and placed on respirators. Both students were released from the hospital on April 5. Greenville Police found a Coke bottle filled with a clear liquid at the scene. Analysis by the State Bureau of Investigations revealed the liquid to be gamma hydroxy butric, or GHB. GHB, also known as scoops and liquid ecstasy, is a clear, oily liquid which, when ingested, gives users a quick high, followed by heavy sedation. Using alchohol as a chaser to GHB is potentially deadly. The mix- ture may cause extremely slow breathing or total respiratory collapse. GHB can be made at home using chemicals, but officials warn that unskilled "kitchen chemists" could produce samples with unknown side effects. Pitt County Memorial Hospital has documented several cases involving GHB in the last 30-60 days. While this drug is not illegal to possess, police are still investigating where the students obtained it. Jeff Yurfest, president of Sigma Pi, expressed concern that GHB is becoming too popular and people were associating it with fraterni- ties. "They were downtown drinking and they came here during a late night Yurfest said. "They apparently took the GHB, but I have no idea if they took it here or not. I got home from work and there were two people passed out in our yard Yurfest said he fears the incident will cause people to associate the drug with the Greek system. "Neither of them were members of this fraternity or of the Greek system Yurfest said. "They just happened to be here when they collapsed. It could have happened anywhere, but it kind of sucks that it happened here Yurfest also emphasized that the house on 10th Street is the home of a few fraternity members and not the Sigma Pi fraternity house. "We have never had this kind of problem here Yurfest said. "It isn't like someone was passing it GHB out from the fraternity. It's a shame after all the effort that the Greeks have put in to clean up our image on this campus that something like this happened Students said the incident reflects the popularity GHB has gained in the Greenville area. "It's big on campus said ECU student Rebecca Ann Reynaud. "It's all around. It's at the bars and its in the parties There have been conflicting reports over whether or not GHB can be detected in a drink. The high absorption rate of the drug often prevents it from being detected in the emergency room. "It does have a very strong taste said another student Ted Rowell. "It's very salty Donna Walsh .director of the Office of Health Promotion and Well-being, said GHB is not classified as a date-rape drug because it does have a taste. "It has a slightly salty taste that people are overcoming by mixing with cinnamon Walsh said. Chris Arline, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council at ECU, also had some comments on the incident regarding possible sanc- tions against Sigma Pi. "At this time I have seen no documentation that would indicate Sigma Pi had anything to do with this Arline said. "I think that it was just bad luck that it happened at a late night where a lot of their brothers live Arline also said the Greek system would try to arrange for speak- ers on the subject to come to try to inform people about the dangers of using GHB. "I have done research on this drug since this happened and the Greek system will be trying to spread the word that this stuff is a bad thing Arline said. Greenville Police said that they were put on full alert after the incident. The Food and Drug Administration had been supplying the department with information about the drug. Above is a representation of the molecular structure of gamma hydroxy buturic. Also known as GHB, scoops, or liquid ecstasy, the drug has been gaining popularity in the Greenville area and nearly claimed the lives of two local students earlier this month. Effects of GHB scare reach farther than ECU campus Designer drug proves deadly GREENVILLE (AP) - An unapproved bodybuilding drug that nearly killed two East Carolina students earlier this month is having a resurgence in North Carolina, a doc- tor said. Gamma hydroxy buturic (GHB), illegal in two states, cannot be legally marketed nationwide, the Food and Drug Administration has said. But in the past eight months, a Texas teen-ager was killed and a Georgia woman lapsed into a coma after ingesting the drug, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP). The two college students collapsed April 4 after mixing the drug with alcohol at a party near East Carolina. Both needed respi- rators to resuscitate them. But Dr. Sven Normann, of the Florida Poison Information Center, said word has gotten out that GHB produces euphoria, increased sensitivity to touch and drowsi- ness. It's also been hyped as an aphrodisiac, he said. The side effects include breathing prob- lems and - when the drug is mixed with alco- hol and other depressants - vomiting, seizures, loss of bladder control and amnesia, SEE GHB. PAGE 3 HOGGING THE BALL DURING PIGSKIN SCRIMMAGE Summer graduates allowed to walk in May Officials change position on commencement rights AMANDA AUSTIN STAFF WKITF.R STI'DF.NT ORGANIZATIONS Graduating seniors with courses to be com- pleted in summer sessions will now have the choice of graduating in either the spring or fall Commencement ceremonies. The decision was made and announced by university officials on Friday, April 11. "We need to carefully examine our policies to make sure that we are being fair to all our degree candidates Chancellor Richard Eakin said. "ECU's size makes it virtually impossible for us to hold just one graduation ceremony during an academic year The decision was made in hopes of avoid- ing problems for students whose families had already made plans to attend the May 10 cer- emony "The December ceremony was established specifically to recognize students who com- pleted their degree requirements during the summer and fall Eakin said. "But we under- stand that many students who plan to finish their courses in the summer would rather par- ticipate in the May ceremony because it would be inconvenient for them to attend in December The only stipulation for seniors finishing their course requirements in the summer is that their names will be printed in the December program rather than the May pro- gram. The decision applies to those students who will be finishing in summer sessions this year. University officials are reviewing the situa- tion and trying to devise a plan that will accommodate all students when it comes to time to graduate. A recent resolution was written by the stu- dent government association (SGA) in support f those seniors fulfilling their course require- ments during the summer. The resolution state that no summer grad- uation is available to those students complet- ing their course requirements during the sum- mer. It also said that undue hardship is creat- ed for those students and their families who would have to participate in the Fall Commencement. Since most students will leave the Greenville area to follow their careers or con- tinue their education elsewhere, the resolu- tion listed this as another reason for reversing the decision. Another point of importance to SGA which was included in the resolution was that seniors should leave ECU on a positive note. This resolution gives all seniors lacking summer school credits the full support of the SGA. The SGA would like to see a policy allowing all seniors to participate in Spring Commencement.

ECU Environmental Awareness Club (GALA), ECU Natural Extremes, Pamlico Tar River Foundation (PTRF), the Cypress Chapter of the Sierra Club and Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greenville are organizing the event which will take place April 20. "Basically what we're trying to do is raise money to extend the Greenville) Greenway said Bike Rally Chairman Jeff Yurfest. The Greenway is a paved path through the wetlands in Greenville for people to walk and ride bikes along while touring the wetlands. The rally will con54clude with a five mile bike ride. This will start at the Town Commons, go through the Greenway, along the bottom of College Hill, to Dogwood Hollow, then past St. Peter's Church and fin- ish at the Town Commons. Participants in the bike ride will include members of the community ranging from boy scouts to ECU students. After the bike ride there will be a family picnic, eco-scavenger hunt, entertainment and prize give-aways. Mayor Nancy Jenkins and ECU Geology Professor Dr. Stan Riggs will also speak. The entertainment wiil include music from members of Purple Schooibus, Hipbone, Midnight Blue and the felly Smith Band. The groups will raise money for the Greenway througn the sale of T-shirts. 76 buy a T-shirt people r-u.jt register for the rally. The cost of registration is $10, which covers the cost of the T-shirt. "We got sponsors to cover the cost of the T-shirts so the money we get will be profit for the Greenway Yurfest said. According to GAIA Secretary Sarah McConnell, 80 percent of the proceeds will benefit Greenway, TO percent will go to GAIA and 10 percent will go to Natural Extremes. Last year's rally raised over $1,000. "We are currently in the process of putting up fliers across campus about registering McConnell said. The bike ride will begin at 3 p.m. At 1:30 p.m. there will be a nature walk down the Greenway guided by Biology Professor Dr. Vince Bellis. At 2:30 the ECU Police Department will talk with participants about bike safety. Interested participants may preregister or register at the rally.

(AP) - Stuart Orkin, a developmental biologist at Harvard Medical School says human cloning has "inherent risks that I think are unacceptable But that does not mean lie thinks research into it should be banned. "We may miss the boat in a sense" if all study of human asexual reproduction is outlawed, Orkin told the National Bioethics Advisory Commission on Sunday. "There is some advantage for research to go on President Clinton formed the 18-member commission to study implications of human cloning after a Scottish scientist in February presented Dolly the sheep, the first-known successful clone of an adult mammal. As the panel mulls over the ethical, scientific and policy ramifications of human cloning, Clinton has banned use of federal money on such experimentation and suggested a moratorium on private studies. Both Orkin and Janet Rossant, a professor of molecular and medical genetics at the University of Toronto, appeared to pique the committee's interest when they agreed that human cloning may be premature while so much is left to study in animals. "Is it possible that we can do most of the basic science on animals without ever creating an entity which many people find offensive?" asked commission member Thomas Murray, director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Orkin did not advocate widespread cloning of animals. Plenty of research is left to do that would not necessitate further cloning of any kind, he said. But researching human cloning could lead to major advancements in such fields as organ transplants, he said. "I'm not comfortable with the notion of banning any kind of research Orkin said. "However, I am comfortable with moratoria on the implantation" of cloned human embryos because of the "inherent risks that 1 think are unacceptable Rossant said because not all animal research is directly applicable to humans, the board should "avoid prohibiting legitimate research into animals or humans (because) it really has big poten- tial for immense benefits in the future The panel's mandate takes it beyond scientific ramifications of cloning into the hazy realm of ethics. Religious groups already have testified before the commission, which is now dealing with whether to incorporate religious beliefs into the recommendations to Clinton. "It's one thing to respect their beliefs but it becomes difficult to incorporate that to make public policy Murray said. Commission member Bernard Lo, director of the medical e tin. program at the University of California, San Francisco, questioned whether scientific review boards should ask the motives of laboratories seeking funds for future cloning projects. Others inwlved in genetic studies are not required to answer such questions. SEE CLONING. PAGE 3 ) 2 Tuesday, April 15 1997 iH The East Carolinian - .

This month alone, Charlotte has seen a controversial city council vote halting arts funding and the killing of a black woman by two white police offi- cers near a traffic checkpoint. During the service Sunday at Memorial Stadium, government officials gave words of encouragement and representatives of the Baha'i, Buddhist. Christian, Hindu.

State offers grants for pollution prevention RALEIGH (AP) - A deadline of June 13 has been set for business and indus- try to apply for up to $20,000 in matching pollution prevention grants from the state. The state Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources expects to award the grants in July, the department said. Grants offered this year will favor projects that reduce water consumption through efficiency improvements or reuse of water. More than SI million has leen awarded for 110- grants since 1985. The grants are for projects that can be duplicated. across the nation Harris Poll finds most believe smoking is addictive NEVV YORK (AP) - The overwhelming majority of Americans believe smok- ing is addictive, and most of them believe the tobacco company executives share that belief, according to a Harris Fbll. According to the poll being released Monday, 90 percent of the public believes smoking causes cancers. Among smokers, 79 percent also believe that, it said. The nationwide poll of 1,006 adults was conducted by telephone by Ixiuis Harris and Associates Inc. during March 26-April I. The results have a mar- gin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The pollsters found that 95 percent of the public, including 92 percent of the smokers, believe smoking is addictive. And 92 percent, including 88 percent of smokers, believe the tobacco company executives also think their product is addictive. However, the poll found that 40 percent agreed that tobacco is a legal product and the companies should be allowed to sell and advertise their HICKORY, N.C. (AP) - More and more cities and counties are offering tax rebates to companies that build or expand plants - raising the stakes in the fierce competition for new industries and their jobs. "You don't do it because you want to. You do it because you have to said Union County economic development director Lee Correll, whose county lost a S.V5 million Wal- Mart distribution center to Pageland, S.C in 1995 after that state offered twice as much in incentives. Local and state officials across the country are wrestling with the complex issues of whether to sacri- fice potential tax revenues in order to get more, and to whom they should give them. The fight heated up in North Carolina after the state Supreme Court last year ruled it constitution- al for local governments to offer incentives. Winston-Salem lawyer William Maready had sued aftet his city and Forsyth County gave more than $13 million to 24 companies, and a lower court ruling in his favor had chilled local government recruiting efforts. Cabarrus County was among the first to try something different: It used tax rebates to get Corning Inc. to build a massive fiber-optics plant that will create more than 600 jobs. Other recruiters took note of Cabarrus' success, and dozens of local governments have adopted or are considering similar policies. In 1996. the N.C. General Assembly approved a reduction in the corporate income tax; job-cre- ation tax credits for all 100 counties: and worker training, machinery and equipment tax credits. The compa- ny could get $19 million from newly approved state tax credits by 2000. The county promised to return 85 percent of the company's proper- ty tax payments for the first five years. Corning won't say how much it is investing, but county officials esti- mate the company would get S8 mil- lion in tax breaks if it invests $300 million. Cabarrus Economic Development Director Maurice lvv ing said the county offered more Sigma Tau Gamma presents: LAWNBASH '97 with jtf1SSf$s "Winner of 1997 Battle of the Bands" Friday, April 18th at 8:00pm $4.00 in advance $6.00 at the door call 757-0127 for tickets iL 1 1 Z& 321-4862 315 SE Greenville BLVD Pizza and Personal Checks Bonus Buys w any purchase 10 Xtra Pokey Stix $2.97 2 Sodas $1.50 5 Wings $1.99 Hours Mon - Wed 12-2a.m. Thurs - Sat 11a.m3a.m. Sun 11am-1:30am Delivery Begins at 4pm Mon - Thur Gumby's Revenge Large Cheese Pizza $3.99 or 2 For I �&& add toppings $1.50topping 'Minimum delivery s4.98 For a limited time only. after losing a major AMP Inc. elec- rronics plant to York County, S.C u here a menu of state tax breaks can reduce a company's property taxes 43 percent for 20 years. "We couldn't compete with South Carolina because they were fjivinp away the stars he said. "We had to have something on the table to be in the game The grant policies work like this: A company that builds a new plant and pays property taxes for five years can get much of that money back in the form of a grant. The grants are in addition to more traditional assis- tance such as land, site work, water and sewer line extensions and roads. North Carolina local govern- ments are requiring minimum investments ranging from $500,000 under a proposed Union County policy to S3 million in Cabarrus County. Many localities have set up sliding scales that tie the size of grants to the amount companies invest, although Catavvba has also linked them to factors such as jobs created and type of industry. Competing for industry used to be a game played largely by the states. North Carolina pioneered the idea M) years ago by developing a highly regarded community college system, offering free job training and helping with utilities, roads and tax credits. Other Southern states responded by sweetening their financial pack- ages, and now North Carolina's incentives pale in comparison. In the early 1990s, North Carolina couldn't match the esti- mated �300 million in incentives that South Carolina offered BMW to locate in Greer. Many economists think govern- ments should stop competing. "It's very rare you ever get back enough in taxes to make up for w hat you gave up said James Smith, a professor of finance at I NC Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School. "The argument is everybody else does it and we should do it. too. That might make sense if you're in a state that has a hard time attracting industry.

Even if the motive were ques- tioned, private clinics that do not use federal grants would not face such scrutiny. That, commission members suggested, would create another moral dilemma. While the panelists seemed to be asking more questions than provid- ing answers, many did agree that whatever is recommended now will come under scrutiny again as sci- ence speeds along. "Once the science is out of the bag, somebody is going to do it said panel member Lawrence Miike, director of Hawaii's Department of Health. continued Irom page 1 and a deceleration of the breathing rate that can lead to a coma, he said. Hospiul officials in Pitt County- said they have seen at least six cases of GHB overdoses since February. "The possibility exists that the person could use GHB and be left in what we call a persisting vegetative state said Dr. William Meggs. "F would go on record unequivocally and say; 'Stay away from this stuff In December, the State Bureau of Investigation released a report about GHB warning of its develop- ing reputation for causing hallucina- tions, heightened sexual desire and euphoria. The report also said the drug has started popping up in nightclubs, college campuses and areas where high school students congregate. The ECU students said GHB is considered en vogue in college cir- cles. "It makes you feel like you're really drunk without the dragging effect. It kind of pumps you up said the 21-year-old male student. "It makes you want to stay out late. You don't want the night to end until it wears off the other student, a 22-year-old female, said. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration wants to have GHB classified as an illegal narcotic, simi- lar to cocaine. Rhode Island and Georgia have already outlawed it and five others - California, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts and Hawaii - have bills banning the drug in differ- ent stages of enactment. At ECU, the overdoses were a wake-up call to university officials, who are planning a program next fall on GHB and other trendy drugs. The Inter-Fraternity Council, a student association of fraternities, will help organize the event, presi- dent Christopher Arline said. "It scares the hell out of us, and we don't want to lose any of our friends to this he said. Already, the office of Health Promotion and Well-Being at ECU has information on GHB available, according to Karen Boyd, associate dean of students. Officials took fur- ther action after the overdoses, con- tacting the student newspaper about doing a story and passing information to residence halls. Greenville police are trying to find the supplier of the GHB that led to the two overdoses, Lt. John Teel said. A young man who said he lived out-of-town told police he brought tr - GHB-filled Coca-Cola bottle to the parry, offering it free to anyone who wanted it. By the time police confiscated the bottle, it was virtual- ly empty, Teel said. In the meantime, education aixiut the drug's potential effects needs to get out, Meggs said.

Hospital officials in Pitt County- said they have seen at least six cases of GHB overdoses since February. "The possibility exists that the person could use GHB and be left in what we call a persisting vegetative state said Dr. William Meggs. "I would go on record unequivocally and say, 'Stay away from this stuff In December, the State Bureau of Investigation released a report about GHB warning of its develop- ing repuration for causing hallucina- tions, hc.ghtened sexual desire and euphoria. The report also said the drug has started popping up in nightclubs, college campuses and areas where high school students congregate. The ECU students said GHB is considered en vogue in college cir- cles. "It makes you feel like you're really drunk without the dragging effect. It kind of pumps you up said the 21-year-old male student. "It makes you want to stay out late. You don't want the night to end until it wears off the other student, a 22-year-old female, said. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration wants to have GHB classified as an illegal narcotic, simi- lar to cocaine. Rhode Island and Georgia have already outlawed it and five others - California, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts and Hawaii - have bills banning the drug in differ- ent stages of enactment. At ECU. the overdoses were a wake-up call to university officials, who are planning a program next fall on GHB and other trendy drugs- The Inter-Fraternity Council, a student association of fraternities, will help organize the event, presi- dent Christopher Arline said. "It scares the hell out of us, and we don't want to lose any of our friends to this he said. Already, the office of Health Promotion and Well-Being at ECU has information on GHB available, according to Karen Boyd, associate dean of students. Officials took fur- ther action after the overdoses, con- tacting the student newspaper about doing a story and passing information to residence halls. Greenville police are trying to find the supplier of the GHB that led to the two overdoses, Lt. John Teel said. A young man who said he lived out-of-tewn told police he brought the GHB-filled Coca-Cola bottle to the party, offering it free to anyone who wanted it. By the time police confiscated the bottle, it was virtual- ly empty, Teel said. In the meantime, education about the drug's potential effects needs to get out, Meggs said.

(We know, that's not realty like us, but we're in a giving mood today.) Our fellow student medium, The Rebel, has recently won two prestigious awards for their work on the issue that came out last year. Our other colleagues over at Expressions also garnered national recognition and praise last semester for their efforts on their publication. In case you don't know, and shame on you if you don't, The Redeis ECU's student literary and arts magazine and Expressions is our school's publication focusing on minority issues. Both mag- azines are totally created by students. The submissions are all by students, and the editorial staffs of both are comprised of students, as well. The Rebel is only published once a year and Expressions comes out twice every semester, which is often a reason that knowledge of their exis- tence is somewhat limited on campus. ?Ye would like to see 'hat situation change. We would like for more people to open them- selves up and read these superior productions of our fellow students. We would like for more students to try and actively participate in the creation of these publications. And with the accolades that these two magazines have recently been given, perhaps more focused attention can be brought to bear on them. rfe at TEC applaud the staff and contributors of The Rebel and Expressions for a job well done. Both magazines deserve all of the recognition that has come their way. Good luck in the future. EiFFRS ro THE EDITOR B-GLAD mad about ads lb the Editor We write this letter in response to ;dte two ads placed in your paper on I0 April by Another Way Out, that ; seek to portray gays as living lives of sexual promiscuity and lesbians as (victims of abusive relationships with :men. The statement by the "ex-gay" man spying "AIDS was one of the �beat things that could have hap- pencd-to me is one of the most ignorant remarks any person could make with regard to issues of HIV j end AIDS . AIDS is not some pun- ishment from God upon homosexu- als. If it were, why would lesbians have a lower risk of infection than heterosexual men or women? Why wouidfhemophiliac children be terosexual Miidhem JL infected by the blood products they must have to induce normal clotting of blood? - Many mainline Christian church- es do not share this group's narrow- minded opinion of the issue of orien- tation. They affirm our relationships and support the spiritual growth of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and individ- uals'who are questioning their orien- tation. Lesbians do not pair up with other women out of emotional dependency rather than true love We all form relationships with those of the same sex because they are who we truly love. Portrayals of our lives and relationships as not val- ued, intentionally or unintentionally, give license to those who would attack us in the name of some hate- ful interpretation of Christian Scriptures. We question the judgment of the editorial staff of The East Carolinian for publishing such an offensive mes- sage in its pages. Would you also accept an advertisement from the members of the Neo-Nazi party or other groups which practice discrim- ination in our society? Would you publish an ad from this same group that says Jews must repent or burn in Hell? Or do you only accept ads which target non-heterosexual indi- viduals?

However, The Rebel, which is a showcase of the best student artistic end literary talent, should be ashamed of the way they treat die artists and jtvriters whose work they publish.

As of April 1997, over a year after the work was select- ed, the winners have not been paid, and many of the works submitted were damaged and one is partially missing The Student Media secre- tary, Yvonne Moye, said, "The budget for these awards had to be spent on the printing of the magazine Mr. Wright, the faculty media adviser, was informed that the winners had not been paid their promised awards in October. The action taken by the ECU Student Media has been to cut in half the already low budget for awards in 1997 and pay both years winners. The awards are an insulting $35 for first place, $25 for second place and Si 5 for third place. The Rebel manage- ment offended these creative people who make the magazines award-win- ning existence possible by paying such meager awards. We are also out- raged because no action was taken to pay the award winning entries from last year until the student media adviser was threatened with this com- mentary. Jonathan Mugmon President Graduate An Alliance I OOffTTES I �aa W ReM YWl DRUGS: ALCOHOL: � OPINION Columnist John DAVIS Can't we all just get along: ? Recently, The East Carolinian ran an advertisement from a group called Another Way. The group is a Christian organization of ex-homosexuals who maintain that God fulfilled their needs and therefore healed them of their h�"noscualit. I've heard a lot of talk about the ad, mostly criticizing it, but I figure, "Hey, this is America. They can say what they want While exiting the offices of The East Carolinian yesterday, I ran into an acquaintance of mine who happens to be a very active member of B-GLAD (Bisexuals, Gays and Lesbians Advocating Diversity). He was a little ruffled under the collar about this ad, and informed me that he was going to write "screaming letters to the editor" and launch a massive counter-ad cam- paign. Now, I have nothing against the counter-ad campaign. Like I said, this is America. But when I got to thinking about the "screaming letters to the editor" bit, I realized that the fellow has no grounds for them. Actually, they might undermine his position, and that of B-GLAD's, severely. So I asked him, "Well, have you called this 1-800 number in the ad?" "I checked out their Web site (also in the ad) and I decided that anyone who says that AIDS was the best thing that ever happened to them (homo- sexuals) isn't worth talking to he said. Now, I'm not sure I'd agree that AIDS is the best thing that might ever happen to me, but I did know a fellow who had a high possibility of being HIV positive. Strange as it might sound to us normal folks, this fellow did count that as a blessing. He saw even the possibility as a sign that he ought to pursue a career helping AIDS victims. I bet all those people he's helping right now are thinking his pos- sibility of having the disease was the LETTERS TO THE EDITOR best thing that ever happened to them. (He graduated and I never found out if he was truly positive or not.) More importantly, this conversa- tion made mc realize three things a!xut the actions of B-GLAD in thi� situation which are quite revealing I hope they're not an example of how the members of B-G1.AD normally conduct themselves. First, I'm all for diversity, and I thought that B-GLAD was too. It would seem to me that if the members of B- GLAD were really advocating diversity (as their name suggests), that they ought to be celebrating the fact that there are homosexuals out there who hold a view opposing theirs. That is what diversity means, after all. If B- GLAD does not support diversity, but is rather just another bunch of political whiners (and I hope this isn't the case), then perhaps they ought to change their name. Secondly, if B-GLAD is successful in their campaign to have the editor refrain from printing ads pertaining to people's beliefs in sexuality and religion, then they are shooting themselves in the foot. The same First Amendment rights that allow B-GLAD to print ads for Blue Jeans Day and Pride Week allow the people at Another Way to run ads as well. And third, given die lack of research done by members of B-GLAD, and given the snap judgment of my friend in the offices of The East Carolinian, I would have to say that this Christian group is a victim of stereotype and big- otry. 1 felt like I had stepped into an alternate dimension - the Christians were promoting love and the gay rights group was being prejudiced. Perhaps once a member of Another Way has been contacted and a dialogue is opened between the two groups, then some judgments can be made. I once read a Peanuts comic strip in which Snoopy was writing a book. It was a book of theology and its title was Has It Ever Occurred To You That You Might Be Wrong? I could plainly see from my friend's expressions that it had not, in the least, occurred to him that he misfit Ik- wrong. I think he rruv bet e been afraid to consider that possibility. I can understand why. The world view of Another Way, if it is right, would mean my friend would have to do some changing in the way he thinks. It might mean he'd have to be uncomfortable for a while. But isn't that what diversity is for? Isn't the main benefit of diversity that the presence of other ideas and beliefs challenges us to understand our- selves and our own beliefs, as well as considering the opinions of others? Diversity is a two (or three or four) way street. In closing, I would like to comment that 1 do understand why the members of B-GLAD feel as hostile as they do. The Christian groups on campus have. . not acted in a way that is very loving toward homosexuals. In my Bible there are lot of commands about not judging others and loving one's neighbor. Last week, during Pride Week, I overheard quite a few hateful and hurt- ful conversations from people who are supposed to be God's representatives. Only yesterday I heard about an inci- dent at the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship where a female student was driven to tears because she wanted to point out that the attitude of some Christians was inconsistent with their claims that God's love is in them. She was harshly treated and, as stated, dri- ven to tears. "vfc don't all have to agree. America isn't about agreeing. But if we can't talk to each other and team from one anoth- er's ideas, then somebody needs to call up George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and let. them know their "grand experiment" has failed. It's unfair to let non-grads walk lb the Editor, Recently, we, the student body of East Carolina University, have been subjected to the whining of a group of students who feel that they should be allowed to graduate this spring even though they still have one or two classes left to complete. This group of students feel that it is unfair that they were not at least told they would be unable to graduate at the next cere- mony. However, if said students will con- sider the definition of graduation, they will then realize that it is both reasonable and fair to prevent them from graduating at that time and, moreover, that any notification of this fact is simply unnecessary. Graduation is a ceremony at which students who have successfully com- pleted an entire course of study are recognized for their accomplishment. Thus, if a student lacks even one class from said course of study, he is not eli- gible for graduation. This fact is so obvious that it should not need stat- ing. The inability of the students in question to comprehend this fact says to me that they have not learned much from their time here at ECU and should not be allowed to graduate anyway. In conclusion, it would unfair to the many students who have com- pleted their studies (and deserve the recognition of their achievements that a diploma represents) to force them to share their special day with those who have not.

Oife of these would have to be the ideW of playing MetaUica on cellos. However the strangest thing of all about this is that it works, and sur- prisingly well. -4c seems that in 1993, four cellists at the Sibelus Academy in Helsinki, Finland, got the idea of playing MetaUica on their cellos. So, they raked through their MetaUica records searching for playable songs. Due to the ohysical demand of cellos, songs with, ast solos were out of the ques- tion. So, they sorted through the playable ones to find songs that would beHbn and entertaining. They even- tually narrowed down the list. But the question remained, "Would people reajh like it?" $�, after three years of practicing and, honing their skills, Apocalyptica ploved their first show at a local metal clqb, The crowd got so into the show tha&chey actually concluded the show by- singing along to "Master Of Puppets Shortly after the quartet was, signed and began recording an album. -Now, after two more years, the fhm of those recording sessions has been released in the VS. In the mejtotimc, the band has been opening forsuch acts as The Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, and Sepulture on their tours irvnnru Maybe with this break on American soil, they will bring their act to us. In the meantime, we still have the CD. The CD contains material span- ning MetaHka's entire career. The opening song is their hit from a few years back, "Enter Sandman The quartet tries to cover every facet of the song, so there's one cello giving the deep rhythm beat while others play various leads and "vocal" arrange- ments. The rhythm part takes a few moments to get accustomed to, but once the other cellos join it, it becomes a tight song that flows smoothly. A seemingly unusual song for the group (is there a usual MetaUica song for cellists?) is the second track, "Master of Puppets It would seem that classically trained musicians would more likely stick to songs like "Nothing Else Matters or "fade to Black However these young players back down from no challenge and fry SEE CHIOS. PAGE 7 Derek T Halle SENIOR WHITE Life In General, the dynamic duo that seems to be making their mark in the studio, are back with another release called One Door Down. The album starts off with a song cajled "Goodbye Rom this, I was able to already catch a grasp of what I was to hear - a unique acoustic sound that followed a progressive maturity all in its own. This record is something that the guys in R.E.M. would love. The next song, "Better Off flows just like the first. They aren't the same song, they; just move with respect to each othet Sort of the way that Jason leVasseur and Jerry Chapman do. They both write, play acoustic and sing; however, they're not onto anyone else's sound. It's easy to tell that these guys are doing their own thing. As the album roils on you'll hear a really powerful tune called "Skin Where the lyrics for this song ("Rip me open, peel me down from side to side 1 am you ate time has tried to wander") are coming from. III never know. The most amazing thing about the lyrics is that they don't fit into context with the music that is being played. The lyrics move in 3 totally different direction. And although they move in separate ways, they find their way back to one solemn purpose. At the end of the song, the message is complete. The next track on the record is called "Eagle It's an acoustic song set to a slower pace than the rest of the record. There's a big buildup the first time around. It's sore of a tease, they don't take you anywhere else, just right back to the verse. This is good writing and a descent display of dynamics. You aren't let down that the song doesn't pick up. It actually helps you appreciate it a bit more. As a result, the listener is positioned for listening to the tunes that follow on the record. Like I said, it's good writ- ing. The song on the record that I believe holds the most promise is "Cow Tipping Anybody that's a good 'ol country boy will understand the true meaning behind a song like this.

But the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association did find "significant differ- ences between circumcised and uncir- cumcised men in terms of their sexual practices "The difference was greatest for masturbation - ironically a practice that circumcision was once thought to limit the study said. It said 47 per- cent of circumcised men reported masturbating at least once a month vs. 34 percent for their uncircumcised peers. The difference in frequency can- not be explained but it does "cast doubt on the Victorian-era notion that circumcision reduces the urge to mas- turbate the study said. In addition, circumcised men were found to be nearly 1.4 times more like- ly to engage in heterosexual oral sex than uncircumcised men. They were also more likely to have had homosex- ual oral sex and heterosexual anal intercourse. The study was based on an analysis of data collected from a sample of 1,410 men, aged 18 to 59, in the United States, which has one of the world's highest non-religious circum- cision rates.

When acclaimed film director Milos Forman released his controversial movie. The Peopkvs. Larry Flynt, everyone from critics to talk show hosts had Frynt on their tongues. Even Mr. Fhnt himself went public, boasting to the world that he, like the film claims, is a symbol of American free speech, no matter what you think of him or his questionable publication. Pornography has been a hot issue for feminists for a long time, and this Thursday ECU will get the rare opportunity to engage in the issue when Laura Kipnis, one of the most vocal feminists dealing with pornography gives a talk entitled "National tomographies; Transnational Bodies Kipnis has actively studied the social complexities of pornography long before Woody Harrclson portrayed Frynt on the big screen. She is possibly best known within the academic world for her 1992 essay entitled "(Male) Desire and (Female) Disgust: Reading Hustler Now that Frynt has been somewhat embraced by Hollywood and main- stream media, Kipnis is more active than evet She is currently one of the most cited scholars when discussing the controversy of pornography. While much of the Larry Flynt debate has revolved around the issue of free speech, Kipnis has moved beyond that. Her current work examines pornography as culture, specifically a transgressionai culture that has connections with the avant garde aesthetic Kipnis' professional and academic history has more than qualified her as an appropriate voice for such a controversial issue. She was trained in the arts, earn- ing her M.FA at the Novia Scotia College of Art and Design in 1982; is cur- rently an Associate professor of radio, television and film at Northwestern University in Chicago; has published two books on sexual politics, Bound and Gaged: Pornography and the Politics ofFantasy in America mA Ecstasy Unhmted: On Sex, Capital, Gender & Aesthetics; has written and directed several short videogra- phics; and has presented talks on an and sex at many conferences. Laura Karris Her interests with pornography stem from both her interests with the avant garde and a concern for social justice. "I don't come out of a traditional academic disci- pline Kipnis stated during a phone interview. "The study of pornography) is not just accepted across the board. However, my approach doesn't get much eye rolling because it is so political, dealing with class Coming out of the art world, Kipnis didn't expect to have a career turn as an academic. However, it was her artwork that lead her into the academic circle and allowed her to become a lively voice in the academic dialogue. "I would get invited to show my videos at academic conferences she reflected. "Then someone asked me to write essays. So, I ended up with a career that was split between me being a video artist and an essayist When Kipnis allowed her scholarly skills to sink into the muddy waters of pornography, she decidedly took a different approach than most traditional fem- inists, instead on focusing on how pornography oppresses women, she asked, "What other meanings circulate within pornography?" What she discovered was that pornography illustrates gaps between social classes. Focusing on the idea of class within pornography, Kipnis began to use pornography as "a vehicle to talk about social issues that aren't talked about in other media Kipnis will deal with questions on how to talk about pornography within a national context, addressing such topics as gender, class and politics. In a nutshell, Kipnis will be talking about "the politics of pornography in the current national politics Kipnis' talk is sure to be an informative and engaging experience that wiU spark some lively discussion.

Lake Trout finds their home in the Baltimore area, where they are one of the premiere bands in the local music scene. Lake Trout's sound is hard to pin down. Not only does the band list jazz greats Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Grant Green as influences, but also funksters The Meters and Curtis Mayfield and current rap groups The Pharcyde, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots. Sounds like a great time for all. The North Myrtle Beach House of Blues itself has an impressive lineup scheduled for their inaugural month of May. The club will be christened on May 4 with a performance by the Blues Brothers (Dan Akroyd, Jim Belushi (replacing his brother John) and John Goodman) and the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. To say that James Brown is not to be missed is an understatement. Besides that amazing opening bill, the club has booked quite a number of other stellar performers to visit within the first month. Names such as Spearhead, Koko Taylor, John MayaU's Bluesbreakcrs and Erykah Badu don't just trickle off the tongue, they impress greatly. Add Johnny Cash to that list (yes, Johnny Cash), playing not one date but two, and you've got a schedule that can't be beaten. If the House of Blues can keep this up, and I feel quite certain that they can, then this club should become one of the main live musk attractions of the Southeast. It is to their credit that they recog- nize the potential mass audience they can draw from Southeastern universi- ties, and that they have chosen ECU as representative of the people the)' hope to attract. So given their respect for this university, it is only right that we should support their appearance on campus tomorrow by going to see Lake Trout. Ill definitely be there. For your convenience, we have the May calendar for the House of Blues: UMass offers all-gay housing option Cindy Sher NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Chris Savastano faced housing prob- lems that most students at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass never have to deal with. When students in his dorm discov- ered he was gay, they tampered with his mail, broke into his room and even threatened his life. When Savastano heard about "2 in 20 a floor of all gay, lesbian and bisex- ual students and their heterosexual allies, he signed up immediately. The first successful program of its kind, "2 in 20" works to end hoirto- phobia and to provide a supportive environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. "When you're first coming out, it's nice .and reaffirming Savastano, a junior said. "You're not alone and iso- lated. It's exactly what other people are going through Students asked the housing admin- istration to initiate the floor in 1992 after many had faced problems similar to Savastano's. "It provides a sense of support and comfort in a society that doesn't always provide that to them said Michael Gilbert, the director of hous- ing services at UMass. The floor began with ten residents and has grown each year. It now has 33 residents and may expand to another floor this fall. The name "2 in 20" refers to sex researcher Alfred C. Kinsey's claim that one out of every ten people is gay. Residents preferred the name "2 in 20" because 1 in 10" sounds lonely the floor's resident assistant Donnie Roberts said in an article that appeared in Tie Chronicle of Higher Education on Feb. 21. Located on the fourth level of the Mary Lyon dormitory, the floor also provides unique programming for its students. Residents have a drag bail each semester in addition to an open house for university faculty, staff and students to learn about "2 in 20 The floor also has a Response Room, otherwise known as a "safe room which is available to any stu- dent living in university housing who is being harassed because of his or her sexual orientation. The student may use the "safe room" as a temporary housing assignment. "We adapt our programming to be quite specific said Julie Robbins, res- idence director of the floor, which has the same housing fees as other dorms at UMass. "Whereas they might have a program on 'Homophobia 101' at another dorm, they might have 'Racism Within the Diversely-influenced jazz a soul band Lake Trout win" perform for The House of Blues tomorrow from Noon until 1 p.m. on the Brickyard in front of Mendenhall.

April 15, 1997 The East Carolinian Woods breaks Augusta records on way to victory AUGUSTA. Ga. (AP) - Tiger Woods' victory walk up the 18th fairway was detoured by a wild hook off the final tee at the Masters, which was probably just as well. It is hard to imagine anyone capable of following in these footsteps. His romp over Augusta National Golf Club evoked memories of the cold stare and hardened heart of Ben Hogan, the charisma of .Arnold Palmer and the sheer power of Jack Nicklaus. Shortly after he drained a bending 4 12-foot putt for par on the final hole Sunday that gave him the lowest score in the 63-year history of the Masters, Woods choked back tears as he embraced his parents. "Every time I hug my mom and pop after a tournament, 1 know it's over he said. "I've accomplished my goal His 3-under-par 69 gave him a 270, breaking by one stroke the record that Nicklaus first set in 1965 and Raymond Floyd matched in 1986. His 12-stroke victory over Tom Kite was not only a Masters record by three strokes, but the greatest winning margin in any major since Old Tom Morris won in the 1862 British Open by 13 strokes. He also became the youngest Masters champion at age 21. Woods wasn't thinking about any of these records when he teed off Sunday afternoon with a nine-stroke lead, or when he made his final climb to a spec- tacular salute at the 18th green. Instead, Woods said a prayer of thanks to other blacks in golf who paved the way - Ted Rhodes, Charlie Sifford and Lee Elder, the first black to get invited to plav at the Masters in 1975. Elder stood by politely as Woods chipped onto the practice green, then said hello and wished him well. Gordan edges Wallace on final lap BRISTOL, Tenn. (.AP) - His list of product endorsements includes milk, he is unfailingly polite with his fans and he's not afraid to cry in public. That does not, however, mean that Jeff Gordon is a softie. "I want everybody to know that when it comes down to the finish, I'm not going to quit. I'm going to do whatever it takes Gordon said after he bumped his wav past Rusty Wallace 600 feet from the checkered flag and won the Food City 500. . tip until Sunday's victory. Gordon had relied on superior speed by his Chevrolet and his pit crew to win 21 Winston Cup races. But in No. 22, he showed he could do it with muscle as well. � "There's sometimes when pure desire takes over and you do whatever you have to do to cross the finish line first he said. No one was injured, but the 20 yellow flags tied NASCAR's modern-era record. The 132 laps run under caution represented the third-highest total in the modern era, which began in 1972. Gordon stayed free of all the contact. But on the last part of the last lap, he initiated it. "It was definitely the most exciting finish I think I've ever had in my career he said. � Wallace, the pole-sitter, kept his Ford up front four times for 240 laps. He took the lead for the last time on lap 415 and built a comfortable edge before (iordon, with teammate Terry Labonte on his rear bumper, closed to within inches of Wallace with 20 laps remaining. Wallace hobbled up high as he fought to control his car, and Gordon slipped past. While Gordon went on to a two car-length victory, Wallace held off Labonte for second place by about five feet. UNC lacrosse player stabbed at club CHAPEL HILL. N.C. (AP) - A University of North Carolina lacrosse player was in good condition after being stabbed in the abdomen at a dance club early Sunday. Police charged Robert Pratt, 26, of Mebanc, with felony assault with a dead- ly weapon in the attack on Peter Murphy, 11. Pratt was released after his moth- er posted a $15,000 bond. Moments before the stabbing, a fight on the dance floor prompted the disc jockey to alert bouncers over the microphone. Pratt was arrested at a nearby restaurant and told police he had fled to elude Murphy's friends. Pratt said Murphy and a group of his friends jumped him on the dance floor because of a dispute over a woman. Others who witnessed the fight said that it consisted simply of shoving and pushing and then Murphy was cut. ' Pratt said he was crouching on the dance floor and that Murphy had him by the throat while others beat and kicked him. Pratt said he was able to reach into his pocket, grab a pocket knife that was attached to his key chain and stab Murphy in the abdomen to free himself. : Key ahead in the count ail day, helped by Erickson �The two home runs by Jeffrey Hammonds sure helped. So did the solo shots by�Cal Ripken and Chris Hoiles on Sunday. 'jTbc player who really gave Jimmy Key room to finish his first shutout in four sejRons. however, was pitcher Scott Erickson. � Erickson was sitting on the Baltimore bench, charting pitches. And when Oiiples manager Davey Johnson asked how many Key had thrown through eight infitngs, he was told 97. 'Trouble was. Erickson forgot to count 10 or so. Johnson let Key continue, and the left-hander wrapped up a 9-0 win Sunday at Camdcn Yards for his first shutout since May 28, 1993. .We had the big lead so he allowed me to go out in the ninth. If the game's clr�e, I don't go out there Key said. �Key finished with 122 pitches. Johnson said that if he'd known the true couht through eight innings, he might have gone to the bullpen. He was throwing nice and easy, but it's not the type of game you want to weir out your pitcher on Johnson said.

They lost all three of their baseball games against the George Mason Patriots. The Pirates come out of the weekend with an overall 21-21 record and now fail to 7-8 in the CAA. A doubleheader was scheduled for Saturday, but the rainy weather caused the second of the two to be postponed until Sunday. The game that was plaved that day was a rough one for both sides. Both teams were chalking up hit after hit as they came up to bat. The pitching staff of either team could not stop the batters from blasting fiery grounders and soaring flies. The defense of each team had difficulty keeping the runners from advancing. "Poor defense was Lhe answer to our loss said Pirates Head Coach Gary Overton. Saturday's game was played in pouring rain and at times had to be postponed for minutes because of the driving rain. In the end and 44 runs later, ECU had lost 17-27. The first game on Sunday began with a promis- ing start. The score remained 0-0 until the third inning. Macon Jones hit a shallow fly to center field that earned him a single. When Kevin Monroe came up to bat, the Patriot pitcher tried to pick off Jones leading off at first. The second time the pitcher threw to first, Jones slid headfirst into the bag. The ball ricocheted off his helmet and rolled to the deep end of right field foul territory. Jones got up and ran to second. A slow reaction by the Patriot right fielder allowed Jones to steal third. Right fielder Antaine Jones was hit by a wild pitch while on first and quickly stole second base. The Patriots' catcher threw the ball in an attempt to get A Jones out. The second baseman missed the ball and it went past the center fielder. M. Jones seized the opportunity and bolted for home. A. Jones fol- lowed suit and made it to third. Left fielder Steve Salargo stepped up to bat and was thrown out at first, which allowed A. Jones to score. Mason stayed off the board until the fifth inning. .After a walk and a single, Overton pulled pitcher John Payne and put Conrad Clark on the mound. The next bat- ter hit a fly ball that was caught in deep left field. The leading runner scored and made the game 2-1. ECU. In the next inning. Mason's batters dominated the Pirates' fielders and pitch- ers. The firsr batter walked and stole second. The next batter hit a single and was advanced by the following batter, who was thrown out at first. The next man up hit a line drive over the shortstop's head that scored the two already on base. .After a fly out and a single, Clark was pulled and Kevyn Fulcher was put in. A hit to right field scored two more runs and Fulcher was replaced by Travis Thompson. Thompson walked his first bat- ter and was pulled for Mike Daniels. "The bullpen has somewhat struggled through- out the year Overton said. A hit to center scored another two runs, and before the Pirates could get their last out. the lead- ing runner for Mason stole home. The final score was 8-2. Mason. "Losing the first game the way we lost it cer- tainly had an effect on the second Overton said. The second game on Sunday was similar to the Antaine Jones (L) and against George Mason Steve Salargo (R) prepare to step up to bat on Sunday ECU lost all three games this weekend to the Patriots. PHOTO BY AMANDA ROSS first. It remained scoreless until the fourth, when ECU took the lead with one run. Mason gained the lead with two in the next inning and took another in the seventh to make it 3-1. In the eighth they scored three, two of which were from a fly to center field. ECU raised the crowd's hopes a bit when they scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but were unable to score any more. The final score was Mason 6, ECU 3. "We weren't making the plays during these games. That is the mistake that hurt us through the year Overton said. The Pirates have a week off before their next game at L'NC-Wilmington this weekend. The game against ECU is considered a big one by L'NCW "They are playing better than usual and we're not playing as well. We'll have to find a variety of ways to w in Overton said.

PHOTOS BY CHRIS GAYDOSH Golfers prepare to tee off at CAA championships ANTHON'YSTXNFILL STVFWRITKR The ECU Golf Team is heading to Goldsboro on April 18-20 to partici- pate in their last, and most important tournament of the season. The tour- nament is the Colonial Athletic- Association Championships and will be played at Lane Creek Country Club. The Pirates are coming off their best tournament of the spring, with a fourth place finish at the Tennessee State Intercollegiate. Even though the Pirates had their best finish. Coach Kevin Williams felt they should have done better. "I was disappointed in a way, because I felt that there was only one team last week that could have beat us, and that was Jacksonville State from Alabama Williams said. "But it was our best finish of the spring, so that's still better than we've been doing The CAA Championships are for bragging rights, and the Pirates will be facing all nine of the conference teams, including VCU. who's ranked 14th in the nation. Williams believes that they have a good chance of being in the top four, hopefully finishing sec- ond behind VCU. The Pirates have defeated Wilmington three out of the five times they've met this year. Both times ECU met James Madison they lost, but thev were narrow margins of loss. VCU, UNCWand JMU were the top three teams that Williams thinks will be the best competition. "We need to play consistent and do well two of the three days in order to take second place Williams said. "If we want to win, and upset VCU, we'll have to play good all three rounds The five Pirates Williams chose to go to Goldsboro are Marc Miller. Kevin Miller. Richie Creech, Steven Satterly, and either Daniel Griffis or Robbie Perry. Williams says that they'll find out for sure this week. "Perry's been real consistent in tournaments, but not in qualifying Williams said. "In fact, he was our low- est score in the Furman tournament. Then again. Griffis has been consis- tent qualifying and not in the tourna- ments. So the fifth spot will be decid- ed this week, between these two Griffis and Perry The Pirates have won the CAA seven out of the last 10 years. Two vears ago they placed second, and last year finished a disappointing seventh. Since this is the Pirates last tourna- ment of the year. Williams summa- rized this season's play. "I think that is was disappointing in certain ways, because of the incon- sistency Williams said. "We're basi- cally a young team, starting three freshmen at some tournaments. Maybe this youth had something to do with the inconsistency, but thee had plenty of tournament experience. We did secure a winning record though, which we haven't had in two years, so that's a positive The Pirates, going into the CAA Championships, have an overall record of 91-65-3. If every thing goes as planned and the Pirates take second, they'll finish the season with '8 wins. Even though Williams was disappoint- ed, congratulations are in order for the Pirates winning season, and once again to Kevin Miller, who was named Outstanding Scholarlv Athlete.
