T THURSDAY APRIL 17 1997 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA Eastern NC residents reveal greatest concerns ECU research lab survey explores the issues ANGELA KOENIG HM1.THENVIRONMIN-MI. I SSI F.S STAFf WHITF.R ECU's survey research laboratory recently con- ducted a survey of the leading concerns for res- idents of eastern North Carolina. The survey, which was conducted in July 1996. asked residents if they felt issues such as quality of schools and stricter hog farm regula- tions would have a positive impact on the qual- ity of life in eastern N.C. They were then asked to rank the issues beginning with which have the most positve impact. The most positive impact was found to be the widening of roads to handle more traffic. Stricter regulations and the quality of schools were ranked as the second and third most pos- itive impacts. The survey also asked residents to follow a similar procedure for issues considered to be a threat to the quality of life in this area. This included issues such as over-fishing, increasing pollution and lack of management of natural resources. Increasing pollution of rivers and sounds was ranked as the having most negative impact on the qualitv of life. More hog farms, plant lay- offs and closings and higher state and federal taxes were also among the top responses of threats to the quality of life. The researchers were surprised at the results of the survey due to the greater con- cerns people feel toward environmental factors over increases in taxes or crime rates. "The findings surprised me because issues like crime and higher taxes get so much more coverage from the media and in political debates said sociology professor Bob Edwards. "Even with all the recent media attention given to hog farms I didn't think they would rank over things like crime and taxes The results of this survey were reported by Edwards and fellow sociology professor John Maiolo. According to Edwards, this survey is part of a larger study the school has been con- ducting. "This piece of research was part of a larger project we've been conducting to look at the socio-economic and environmental process of roads and bridge projects in eastern N.C Edwards said. "We did it (this survey) to assess what people thought about road transportation projects in eastern NC The funding for the multi-year project was received through a grant fom the N.C Center for Transportation and the Environment. The ECU department of sociology provided addi- tional support. The survey was done under the direction of Dr. Ken Wilson of the survey research laborato- ry. The survey was done by random digit dial- ing of 998 adults living in 41 eastern N.C. counties.

"The biggest, most visible change will be the renovation of the Mendenhall dining cen- ter said Frank Salamon, director of dining services. Plans to remodel the seating area, expand and replace the carpeting, install a new light- ing system and replace the wall coverings will all start in the Mendenhall dining center July 1. "We're going to give it a whole new look to brighten the dining area and create a more relaxing environment Salamon said. Mendenhall will also expand its dinner ser- vice hours to alleviate overcrowding problems. "Since we can't make it physically bigger Salamon said, "we are going to expand the dinner hours to 4:30 to 7:30, seven days a week to help with the crowding issue The Wright Place will also undergo some changes this summer. Salamon said the coffee bar is going to be relocated and expanded. In the rail, it will include more types of coffee, including more gourmet flavors and cappuccinos. The soup bar will also have several new- additions, including more vegetarian and low fat soups. They also hope to add several new refrigeration units to hold more salads and pre-packaged meals. The Croatan and Todd Dining Hall will both receive gas-wok appliances this summer. "These new gas-woks will allow us to cook more fresh, fast combinations of wok foods which have been very popular with the stu- dents Salamon said. The kitchen in the Galley will also receive new appliances this summer. There will be all new kitchen equipment installed, including some gas appliances for flame-broiled foods, to make the food flow from the kitchen faster and more efficient. Dining Services also plans to expand the Galley's already diverse menu. "This is going to be a very interesting sum- mer with all our changes Salamon said. Dining Services is also changing the amounts of money in the built-in declining balance with the meal plans. The 19-meal plan will have a $100 declin- ing balance, the 14-meal plan will have a $125 declining balance, and the 9-mcal plan will now have a $150 declining balance. Salamon said there should be no major changes in variety of foods or prices over the summer. "Of course ARAMARK's always going to experiment with new food varieties and options Salamon said, "But there should be no price surges. We're very sensitive to our market. We know we have to stay competi- tive Student wins book grant from adviser survey Karla. Jones ORIKNTVTION VNI) CKNFKM COLLIOl ISSI Is srFF WHITER On April 15. Travis Thompson was notified that he was the winner of $300 for textbooks donated by the ECU Student Stores as an incentive to complete the adviser surveys. Thompson is a sophomore from Charlotte. An adviser evaluation survey was conducted during ECU's early reg- istration period. The purpose of passing out the surveys was to select two advisers of the year for general college and declared majors. All advisers were given survey packets to pass out to their advisees. There were separate packets passed out to general college and declared major adviSees.The advisers of the year are chosen from the evaluation the advisees complete. There was a total of 8,950 surveys passed out and 3.046 were turned in. The awards committee will meet to declare a winner at a later date. The award for the winners is $500. "General college awards will be given out first, and the declared majors will be done at a later date, because they have until April 31 to turn their evaluations in said Jo Ann Jones, assistant dean for gener- al college. For generaj college advisees there was something extra for the ones who turned in their evaluations. Every year when the adviser evalua- tion surveys are passed out there is an extra incentive for the students who turn their evaluations in. Over the years, the prizes have changed. In 19 there was a giveaway from the Student Stores and from din- ing services. They gave away sweatshirts and free dinners. This year the people in charge of the surveys collaborated with the Student Stores and decided to give away $300 toward Ixiok money. The main (Left to Right) Dean of Undergraduate Studies Dorothy Muller, Travis Thompson, the winner of a S300 book grant from ECU Student Stores. ECU Student Stores Manager Wanda Scarborough and Assistant Dean for General College JoAnn Jones PHOTO BY KAIHA JONES purpose of hav ing the prizes is to get more students to turn in the eval- uations. "Before we started giving out extra incentives, a lot of students did not turn in their evaluations said Jones. "The idea of the $300 toward book money was given to us by the generosity of the Students Stores said Jones. Next year they hope to make the prizes given away larger, if they have the cooperation and money to do so. The main dining area at Mendenhall will receive the most changes this summer when the renovation and remodeling to campus dining areas begins. The changes made will hopefully make for a more pleasant and relaxed eating atmosphere.

's exchange students, the end of the school c.ir means the end of their experience abroad, and going home requires a longer trip than a car ride of a few hours. Exchange student Patrick I'crsson is from Sweden, and recently discussed with F.(. his impressions of the past year and how American and European schools differ. I'crsson is from Katrineholm, Sweden and attended the I 'niversity of Oreliro there. Some of the ways in which Swedish schools differ from American is an emphasis on lec- tures in class, no mandatory attendance rules, and fewer exams. "We have one or two tests a semester, and the tests, I think, are usually more difficult hack home I'crsson said. Swedish students don't get the opportunity to ask questions during lecture time, but instead are expected to reserve them for the once a week seminar which focuses more on discussion. The students are expected to Stud) a lot on their own. anil learn the materi- al by whatever means necessary. "The only thing that matters is if you pass the test or not. That's the only thing they care about IVissun s.nd. Viih a lot of emphasis placed on self-disci- pline in pursuit of academic excellence, it is er uncommon for Swedish students to work while going to school. For the majority of Swedish students, work- ing is not a necessity. College tuition is free for the students who pass the rigorous entrance tests. Housing and other expenses are taken care of through government grants and loans. The college housing in Sweden is also very different from the US. The majority of stu- dents live off campus. "People usually are a little bit older when they go to college Persson said. "I isually they have worked for a couple of years and so they want to live on their own For those who do live in the dorms, accom- modations have about eight people to each hallway, each with their private tK-droom and bathroom, and a communal kitchen. Some of the dorms have a small pub in the basement. Persson says the pub is not really the equiv- alent of an American bar, but rather the kind of place friends would go to have a few drinks before going somewhere else. Other than the easy accessibility of pubs on campus, Persson says Swedish students spend much of their time the same way American students do. He said he encountered few shockers about American culture when he arrived, although a fascination with American culture apparently is not a trademark of most Swedish students. "It kind of surprised me that very few peo- ple actually apply to go abroad, which I think is very strange localise it's something I've really wanted to do for a long time Persson said. "I reallv wanted to go abroad, especially to America Reason did have a bit of a misadventure getting to ECU.

Steven Velazquez, 19, of Goldsboro died when as many as 18 Tau Kappa Epsilon members went for a midnight dive off the docks at Lake Johnson on. Sunday night. Earlier in the evening, six new members were initiated into the fraternity. The executive director of the international fraternity traveled to Raleigh from the organization's Indianapolis headquarters to help the N.C. State University students cope. The students, who rode to the lake in several vehicles, told police that no one noticed until later that Velazquez hadn't returned with them to the chapter house. His body was found in the lake about 12 hours later. Raleigh police said they do not suspect that hazing or any other crime occurred. Mother pleads guilty in baby's scalding DURHAM (AP) - A teen-aged mother charged with fatally scalded her 7- week-old baby by putting her in a tub of hot water pleaded guilty to volun- tary manslaughter. LaKesha Michelle Johnson, 19, who had been charged with murder, will be sentenced June 2. Under the state's structured sentencing laws, she could receive a maximum of 98 months in prison. Johnson gave conflicting accounts of how her daughter, Tia Christina Jones, was burned over 55 percent of her body after the March 20,19 inci- dent, said prosecutor Elizabeth Armstrong. The girl died five days later at the UNC Hospitals bum center in Chapel Hill. According to Armstrong, Johnson first told police that her older child, Shenell, who wa : at the time, had knocked over a boiling pot of water that spilled on the infant. Later, Johnson said she had left Tia in the bathtub, went to the kitchen and heard a scream from the bathroom. She said Shenell had turned the hot water on in the tub, scalding the baby But autopsy and medical reports did not support any of those scenarios, Armstrong said. Johnson initially was charged with felony child abuse but that charge was upgraded to murder when Tia died. Company offers fife insurance to people with HIV CHICAGO (AP) -AIDS advocates are cheering the decision of an insurance company to offer life insurance to people with HIV a move seen by many as a recognition of the significant advances made in treating the illness. Gimmnrrw Trust Life Insurance has become the first in the nation to offer life insurance, albeit expensively, to people infected with HIV The Glenview-baaed company specializes in insuring high-risk individuals and is test-marketing the coverage in Illinois. The treatment that has helped prolong the lives of people infected with the AIDS virus involves an expensive combination of drugs that includes a new kind called a protease inhibitor. State Rum and Allstate, two of the nation's largest insurers, said they have no plans to offer life insurance to HIV-positive individuals. The Guarantee Trust policies cost about 1300 a month for $50,000 of cov- erage. That compares to $55 a month for a fairly healthy 30-year-old man who doesn't smoke. Salazar of AIDS Action noted the cost would be prohibitively high for most people. Escaped inmate kills wife, later kilted by deputies SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - An inmate broke out of jail Tuesday, shot and killed his wife and kidnapped her 6-year-old daughter before sheriffs deputies shot him to death outside a relative's home. Stallworth, who was serving a one-year sentence for abusing his wife and fleeing arrest, would hue been released Nov. 1, Craig said. Stallworth, who worked a kitchen job reserved for the most trusted inmates, somehow slipped out of his cell, got a gun and went looking for his wife, who had visited him just two days earlier. A witness said Stalrworth was waiting on a neighbor's lawn for his wife, who drove up with her 6-year-old daughter in the car. When the woman saw Stallworth, she tried to mike a U-turn, said the witness, who was in another cat Stallworth fired several shoes at the car, then ran to the passenger side door and grabbed the girl, Craig said, it was not clear whether Stallworth was the girl's father. A neighbor, believing there had been a car crash, ran outside to offer help. Stallworth pulled the gun on the neighbor and forced him to drive Stallworth and the little girl to suburban Rio Linda. Campus ministry group, SGA embroiled in funding fiasco after miscommunication Corey Aloood MINORITY STUDENT ISSUES CONTRIBUTING WRITER Recently, SGA has been accused by ECU's New Generations Campus Ministries of withholding approved funds for a collegiate Christian con- ference they attended on March 27- 30. The donated funding was to cover half the bus and registration fee, which came to an estimated total of $1,000, said junior and NGM President Bruce Stevens. Moreover, NGM representatives were told by appropriation heads on March 17 that SGA would cover the $1,000 amount and pay this sum before or soon after the conference. After receiving SGA's verbal com- mitment, NGM went on to raise $1,300 to pay the remaining balance of the estimated $2,200 bus charge. The next day, however, on March 18, SGA President Angela Nix, vetoed the request because it was not turned in at the designated time two months prior to the conference. Also, if SGA decided to pay the money after the conference, it would be considered a reimburse- ment, which SGA was unwilling to give. It was not until a week later on March 25, two days before the con- ference, that NGM was notified SGA had denied to pay their half of the bus fee. Immediately, NGM representa- tives went to Dean Speier and Dr. Brian Hanes of Minority Student Affairs for help, only to find out SGA was the sole organization to handle problems concerning the student body. On April 9, Stevens met with Nix, who told :hem nothing could be done to improve their situation . She also told them on March 31, the legislature decided not to review it anymore. However, later NGM found the legislature never voted on the request, which permitted them to go before legislature on April 14 to override the president's veto with a two-thirds vote. It was at that SGA meeting that the legislature was supposed to pay the amount due because NGM had already been told they would receive the funding. SGA members then voted 27 to 5 in favor of paying the money due to the group. "Government policies should be checked and reviewed along with what is communicated to the repre- sentatives Stevens said. Nix argued at the April 14 meet- ing that giving the money to NGM would' be a reimbursement. Nonetheless, since all of the bus fare money was not paid to the bus company, it was not truly consid- ered a reimbursement. "Since reimbursement is not defined clearly, we were able to give the money said SGA member and freshman Jamar Wright. Several attempts to contact SGA officials for further comment were unsuccessful. Six charged in massive health fraud scheme CHARLOTTE (AP) - Six people were charged Tuesday with running a phony Medicare claim-filing scheme that yielded them more than $2 million, authorities said. The charges against the six, who allegedly operated in both North and South Carolina, were unsealed Tuesday, authorities said. They are accused of filing more than $13 million in false claims for reimbursement from Medicare for medical services and supplies during 1995 and 19. They face charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, tax fraud and money laundering, authorities said. They also are charged with mail fraud and money laundering for allegedly filing hundreds of thou- sands of dollars worth of false claims with private insurance companies during 1996 and 1997.

Also unsealed were a civil com- plaint and other court documents allowing federal agents to seize assets in North Carolina and South Carolina. The defendants are charged with creating more than 30 fictitious cor- porations in North Carolina to sub- mit and process claims for reim- b'Tscment for medical expenses. The shell companies received the medical reimbursements at commercial post office boxes throughout western North Carolina, the documents alleged. The defendants also are accused of establishing numerous bank accounts in the Charlotte area where they deposited the payments. The court documents charge that since about November 1994, the defendants submitted more than 11,000 false claims to Medicare for fictitious medical services and sup- plies. The defendants received more than $2 million, of which half is being held in escrow at various financial institu- tions in Mexico, accord- ing to the court docu- ments. The other claims, totaling almost $11 mil- lion, were disallowed, the documents said. After many of the Medicare claims were disallowed, the defen- dants began submitting false claims to private insurance providers, authorities said. The claims were filed to at least 70 companies and involved at least sev- eral hundred thousand dollars, authorities said. The charges carry the following maximum penalties: - conspiring to submit false claims for Medicare payments, 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. - submitting false claims, mail fraud and wire fraud, five years in prison and a $250,000 fine each. - money laundering, 20 years in The charges carry the following maximum penalties: - conspiring to submit false claims for Medicare payments, 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, submitting false claims, mail fraud and wire fraud, five years in prison and a $250,000 fine each. - money laundering, 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. - filing false tax returns, three years in prison and a $250,000 fine. prison and a $500,000 fine. - filing false tax returns, three years in prison and a $250,000 fine. In addition to the civil forfeitures and the criminal fines, the defen- dants, if found guilty, are subject to more than $3 million h damages, plus a separate penalty or $10,000 for each false claim submitted, authorities said.

Editors at TEC met the two students who were found lying unconscious and not breathing on the 10th Street � lawn of several fraternity members. While we chose to withhold the students' names from the article, it occurred to us they were perfect images of the "average" ECU student. Walking to classes everyday we pass hundreds of stu- o dents similar to them. These two students are symbolic of everyone and the problem they represent is everyone's problem. The drug which these students ingested, GHB, is being labeled by authorities as a new designer drug. Some ople may wonder how educated, sane people could consciously ingest a drug and then dare to call themselves victims. For example, heroin and crack users are often considered to be pariahs of society; few people would say hat users are victims, except of maybe themselves. How, then, are the two anonymous students any different? "sll, the drug they took is different. GHB is illegal to sell but it is not, at least for the time being, an illegal drug North Carolina. ' As a matter of fact, it is a "bathtub" drug. Users purchase a substance from a nutrition store and manipulate it ' as they please. There is no set recipe and consequently, there is no continuity of strength. Taking GHB one Friday before you go downtown may prove to be an "enjoyable" experience, but taking another batch of GHB the follow- ; ing Friday, before a late night party, may prove deadly. The ugliest part of GHB is that even students who shy away from marijuana and alcohol may be led to believe GHB is a harmless thrill. After all, GHB users aren't being arrested and the drug produces euphoria as well as increased sensitivity to touch. With a nickname like scoop, how bad could it be? Apparently, given the case of the , two anonymous students, pretty damn bad. (' What the students told us was they were lucky to be alive, free from brain damage and able to return Monday to find their place among thousands of other students. The potential side effects include vomiting, seizures, loss of bladder control and amnesia. When mixed with alcohol as is commonly done, GHB effects a users' ability to breathe. At best, a user who experiences one of these side effects just urinates all over themselves. At worst, they die, as in the case of a Texas teenager who died several months ago. The ECU community has a real problem on its hands. This drug isn't imported from some South American country. Local people, including students, are making this drug in their homes and selling it or giving it to friends. Although GHB has a salty taste, it can be mixed with various spices such as cinnamon in order to be undetectabie in a drink. GHB can be used as a date rape drug as potentially devastating as Rohypnol or "roofies A drug which is easy to concoct and potentially deadly, yet perceived by many as harmless, is a nasty problem. TEC would like to encourage students who may be manufacturing GHB in their homes to stop before they pass i" along a bad batch to friends. Pass along the word: GHB, or liquid ecstasy, or scoops is not, as rumor has it, a harmless drug which can be bought at local nutrition stores. OPINION iMtroln :MUI.LEN Off-campus living worth extra cost Wt all know that living on campus is cheaper than living in an apart- ment. When you live in a residence hall, you do not have as many bills as you do in an apartment. Therefore, you save money. If you think about all the money a student spends each semester while living in an apart- ment, you'll be surprised at the figure you come up with. Living on campus also provides you with easy access to your classes. However, sometimes it's worth sacrificing your money for your happi- ness. University Housing does have its quirks. Yes, there needs to be rules so that everyone can live peacefully beside each other. However, some- times the rules get to be a little ridiculous. First of all, when you live in an apartment, you do not have to worry about who's in your room and at what time. (Unless you get a lot of surprise visits from Mom and Dad.) There are no visitation hours. You don't need to "escort" your guest when they leave. And guess what, you can also have more than 6 people in your apartment without it being considered a "party Another positive aspect of living in an apartment is the bathroom. Think about how many people use the bath- rooms in the residence halls. You have to wear shower shoes to the bathroom to keep your feet clean after you take a shower. If you live in an apartment, and provided that you do keep it clean, you don't have to worry about shower shoes, or who was in the show- er before you were. All you have to do is share it with one or two people. Not bad, considering that in the residence halls, you share it with over 20 people. And guess what? You even get to pick out your very own shower curtain. The residence halls also have a problem with holidays. For some rea- son, most of the dorms close during the holidays, leaving some student abandoned. What happens to the stu- dents who have to stay in town and work? That's when apartments come into the picture. All you do is sign a lease and put down a deposit. That way, you can stay as long as you want over the holidays and over the sum- mer. One last thing that apartments give you is privacy. You have more room in an apartment. If you want to go into your bedroom and close the door to relax, you can. It's your room. Now, you may have pesky neighbors while Irving in your glorious apart- ment. But, think about how many times all of your friends down the hall came banging at your door at 3 a.m. to play a game of spades. Or, how every night after down town, all the drunks gathered in the hall for a hollering contest. On campus living is important for a student's first year at college. It gives them an opportunity to meet people, become adjusted to the uni- versity, and to save money. However, after the first year, it's time for a stu- dent to gain more responsibility. When you live in an apartment you do have a lot of responsibilities. You have bills to pay by a certain date. You have to clean and keep up with your apart- ment. But, at least you are finally on your own. You can do what you want whenever you want to. You don't have to worry about Resident Advisors or parents. The only things you need to do are pay your bills on time, be con- siderate to your neighbors and to your roommates, and most importantly, you have to be that responsible per- son that your parents brought you up to be. Greek takes GHB incident too lightly lb the Editor, I am writing to comment on the article printed in the April 15 issue of TEC. The article covered the GHB incident that occurred on April 4. Actually my commentary is not on the article itself, but on the views put forth by Sigma Pi President Jeff Yurfest. Rw those of you who aren't familiar with the article I am referring to I'll bring you up to speed. On April 4, a 22-year-old ECU stu- dent and a 21-year-old PCC student were found on the lawn of 506 East 10th Street at a Sigma Pi late night. The two students were not breathing and were taken to Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH) near death, where they were revived with the aid of respirators. Both students were released the next day. The East Carolinian printed an article regarding the incident and the following is what Mr. Yurfest had to say about it: "Jeff Yurfest, President of Sigma R, expressed concern that GHB was becoming too popular and people were associating it with fraternities. They were downtown drinking and 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 sys- tem Yurfest said. 'They just hap- pened to be here when they col- lapsed. I could have happened any- where but it kind of sucks that it hap- pened 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 I can appreciate Mr. Yurfest's con- cern regarding the image of his and other fraternal organizations on this campus, especially after "all the effort that the Greeks have put into clean up our image on campus and I am in no way laying blame on Mr. Yurfest, Sigma Pi or the Greek system for the incident. The problem I have is that two people, two of our peers, almost died. They almost died. They almost died and all Mr. Yurfest can say is that "it kind of sucks that it happened here Not a word of concern about the two students. My point is, if you want people to respect you, if you want your peers' admiration, then when a situation like this arises, be concerned with the welfare and health of the two stu- dents who almost died and not with your image. If you do this with com- passion and integrity, then you will get the respect and image you so des- perately desire. Jason Stanley Senior Communication Arts Editor puts wrong words in writer's mouth lb the Editorial Board, Thank you for running my column about B-GLAD. However, as I read over the article as it was printed in the paper, I noticed that an editorial 'cor- rection" has been made to it which changes the meaning of my state- ments. In the fifth paragraph, I am quoting an acquaintance of mine as saying " I checked their feb site and I decided that anyone who says that AIDS is the best thing that ever hap- pened to them isn't worth talking to The word "homosexuals" was added by the editor after the word "them which gives the impression that I am discussing homosexuals in general. I was not. I was using the word "them" as a neuter pronoun to refer to the specific person mentioned by Another Way's Web site. I do not think .AIDS is the best thing to happen to homosexuals (or to most anyone). AIDS is a horrible disease and a tragic affair. I would not wish it on anyone. I offer my apologies to anyone who received the impression that I desire homosexuals to have AIDS. That is not, and never has been my position. Thank You, John Davis Senior English Writing Lifestyle choice isn't right, Christians say To the Editor, In his article Can't we all just get along?" John Davis first points out that the members of B-GLAD shouid have contacted a member of .Another Way so that "Dialogue is opened up between the two groups, and then some judg- ments can be made I agree with Mr. Dims an rhar noirr But I couldn't help but notice that Mr. Davis was making some judgments To the Editor, This area of your paper is for us to state our opinions, and as long as it doesn't offend or attack another per- son I have no problem. But after weeks of students attacking one another on a topic no one completely understands, I was finally offended. In the April 15 article written by B- GLAD's president and treasurer no tonry was I surprised but shocked by what was said. I feel that gays and lesbians all have rights that are no different from heterosexuals. However, when you bring in religion, Christianity, and a To the Editor, I am writing this letter in response to Lora Josey and Rich Elkins' article on Tuesday, April 15. First I want to let everyone know that I am a bom again believer and a follower of Jesus Christ, my personal savior. In spite of comments Lora and Rich made, they are inaccurate. The comment, "Many mainline Christian churches do not share this group's (Another Vfoy Out) narrow-minded opinion of the issue of orientation. That they affirm our rela- tionships and support the spiritual growth of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and individuals who are questioning their orientation, is not true. In the Bible (NIV), I Corinthians 6:9 says, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterer, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves will inherit the Kingdom of God Before you think I am bashing of his own. At the end of his article, when he relates an incident he "heard about" concerning InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, he seems to make a fairrv strong judgment of their actions by stating that the girl was "harshly treated If this is an incident lie only heard about, and did not research, then I hardly rhintr ir if fair far htm to ht making that sort of judgment call. Not only that, but he is doing the very thing part of my life that I feel very strong- ly about, it bother me that you feel something is true that is completely wrong. Therefore I would like to clear up a statement that was made that could confuse someone struggling with their religious stance. If they are stating that they are Christians and that the church they attend supports their homosexuality, then their church is mislead and so are they. First of all, I attend a Southern Baptist Church and I know that the Southern Baptist Association does not support the act of homosexuality or bisexualiry. I feel, as they stated that someone, let me explain. I believe in the Bible and I am a God-fearing man. It says in God's Word that homosexu- ality is a sin, and anyone committing this act will not be part of God's Kingdom. I do not hate or disrespect a homosexual. I believe that what they do is wrong and is a sin. The Christian church does not support homosexual- ity, as B-GLAD has you to think. There are numerous verses in the Bible that point out that homosexual- ity is a sin. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral Revelation 21:8 sas, "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral- their place will be in a fiery lack of burning sulfur So this shows God is against homosexuality and Christian church does not, I repeat, does not support the sexual immoralities of this world. I love all people and I want for which he chastised B-GLAD, that is, coming to a snap decision. While I agree with Mt Davis' idea that we should all be willing to talk with each other and learn about one another, I feel that he might want to exercise some of the same wisdom he seems to want from everyone else. jay Paul Junior English they do need spiritual growth and guidance. A homosexual relationship is not recognized as "True Love" in God's eyes nor should it be for Christians. If it was, then we would ail be of the same sex. God would have created Adam and then Bill. I believe that by our modem day society you have the right to love who you want. However, please do not use my religion and the true Christian Church as a back up for something that we do not support. Sarah Wjrrell Freshman Pre-Veterinarian Medicine all of the B-GLAD individuals to real- ize that God loves you, but if you are living in sin, you will not make it to heaven. I urge you to think about Another Wiy Out. Jesus Christ is real and is coming back soon. So please repent of your sins and turn from these wicked ways. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). All you have to do is ask Jesus into your heart and make Him Lord of your life. Here is a repentance prayer "Jesus, I repent of my sins and confess that You are the only way of salvation for me. I want to ask you into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me in this life and when I die, take me to Heaven to be with you. Amen Rodney A Jones Freshman Undecided major ) 6 Thursday.

Halle SENIOR WHITER Under the realms of reality and into a new Mazing light of mystery, Underfoot takes their music for a ride of its own on Stitt Green. Jim Morrison called it "Testing the bounds of reali- ty; shall we say and I think that description fits for Underfoot. Although the group doesn't hint at the sounds of the 60's, the message could- n't be clearer. It was hard to get a fix on the sound of Underfoot. It's naturally all over the place. From the depths of Seattle to the hierarchy of roots improv, the sound is everywhere. One thing that does remain intact is the acoustics. It lives somewhere in each song. Sometimes the prominent melody of the song is strictly acoustic in origin; however, technology of our new age proves itself worthwhile again and raises the sound to new levels of digi- tal height. After hearing the reflective rhythm of Digital Underground on the fourth John Davis STAFF WHITE SEE MGE9 The thing about INXS is that they have always been better at being rock stars than they have been at being musicians. Pretty boy Michael Hutchence has that decided arro- gance which carries an air of assumed importance. He knows how to strut and how to pose but, in the long run, he just doesn't have the creativity nec- essary to be a songwriter. There was a point, in the late '80s and early '90s, when INXS were actu- ally developing as a band. Under the tutelage of producer Chris Thomas, the band released a trio of danceabte and enjoyable albums, Kid, X, and Welcome to WkereverYou Are. The inter of those actually had the Australian sextet breaking new ground and exploring something a little deeper than getting laid. (Well, not really. They wrote songs about the five min- utes before and after getting bid.) The group then released the high- ly disappointing Full Moon, Dirty Harts.

Even if you're not a pothead, you're sure to have heard of this prestigious and enduring publication that has served as the voice of alternative culture for many years. Hager is also the author of High Times Greatest Hits: 20 Years of Smoke m Your Face, a best-selling book from St. Martin's Press. Hager's belief is that hemp can be used for other things than just roiling and smoking. He contends that hemp is a versatile product that can be used for fiber, food and fuel. But its illegali- ty keeps it from being used for these purposes. Opposing Hager's viewpoint is Curtis Sliwa, the founder and presi- dent of the Guardian Angels, a crime- fighting organization run entirely by private citizens. Currently, branches of his organization can be found in about 300 cities worldwide in such diverse countries as America, Poland, Australia and the former USSR. Sliwa is unflinchingly dedicated to wiping out all drug use. He is known for coining the motto, "Drug Free or Steve Hager Die No mat- ter what the potential bene- fits are from hemp, if there are any, the real dangers and harm that result from the use of marijua- na outweigh them, according to Sliwa His is a posi- tion of intolerance for drugs in what- ever form they present themselves. Considering how divergent Hager and Sliwa are in their opinions on this issue, and how actively prominent they are in the public forum, this debate should be well worth attend- ing. Maybe they'll even open the floor for questions. Taking into considera- tion the fact that the debate is sched- uled to be three hours long, they might need to hear from the audience in order to fill up time. I know that this issue is a big one for many people on this campus. It Curtis Sliwa just goes to show that the Student Union is listening to what students want. And they didn't skimp on the guests either. These are some power players, people. And what they say is heard the world 'round.

Now, the days of separate beds popularized by such classic TV situation comedies as Love Lucy and The Dick Km Dyke Shorn are absurd. When you turn on the tube on any given evening these days, sex flourishes all over the screen. Comedies like Friends and Seinfeld pride themselves with sexual humor, and audiences can't get enough of it. But sexual comedies arc not a new thing. No, they've been around long before the rebellious '60s ever dawned. In tact, sexuality was a favorite topic for many ancient playwrights, most notably Aristophanes. Aristophanes is the author of the oldest surviving sex situation comedy, Lysistrata, and Greenville is in for a night of laughter when the East Carolina Playhouse brings this uproarious play to life, beginning today and running through Tuesday, April 22. While Lysistrata is a hilarious story, its narrative beginnings are not so humor- ous. Aristophanes wrote the play as a passionate response to the Petoponnesian Wat, a war which had plagued Athens and its citizens for over 20 years. Lysistrata was Aristophanes' way of begging for a cease to the mindless carnage that was lirtering the land. But, as opposed to striking the senses of people through straight drama, Aristophanes used satire. The plot of the play, translated for the contemporary stage by Nicholas Rudall, revolves around a woman named Lysistrata and her desire to get the women of Athens to revolt against the men in power. The women want an end. to war, but the men will not listen. Having no power in the military or in poli- tics, the women use the one power they do possess - their bodies. The women all agree to deny men any sex until all the needless bloodshed is put to a stop. Comedic conflict develops when not only the men become restless with lack of intimate pleasure, but the women do as well. Lysistrata soon finds herself in the very difficult position of being the one who can keep her female followers from giving in to their earrhry desires. In addition to a lively story powered by the direction of John Shearin, Lysistrata will treat its audience with singing and dancing to new music written by staff music director Mort Stine. After the success of Suburbia, Lysistrata should prove to be an appropriate way for the ECU Playhouse to close out its 1996-97 season, a season filled with many daring and energetic productions.

DALE WILLIAMSON ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR Last summer, a film called Courage Under Fire played Greenville theaters. It was a solid piece of cinematic escapism and an acting showcase for stars Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan. The basic plot revolved around one man's quest for tac- tual truths, truths that seemed to be twisted depending on who told their own version of the same story. While Courage was not what I would consider a masterpiece, it intelligently touched upon important issues of history. What this film struggled to illustrate is the fact that history is a narrative written by those who tell the story. Many critics, including myself, praised the film. It was a good movie destined to be a Hollywood block- buster. Another film dealing with the similar theme of history as narrative was released around the same time last year, but it was lost in the debris of big- ger, highly publicized hits. This film was noticed by the critical community and was cited by many as one of the best films of 19. It was the latest masterpiece by independent filmmaker John Sayles, who once again proved that well-told stories backed by strong actors por- traying believable characters can carry a much greater punch than any number of special effects, grand explosions or big- name stars. While Sayles 'Sor oi Pas ' 'rely put a dent in the national box office t hen compa. u . likes c other major Hollywood releases), .i still -arrieo so much arti�: c itegrity and originality that it is destined to secure a ptee in history as a modern-day classic. This small independent wonder was known as Lonesmr, and even though it missed our local theaters, it is now available on video for all to enjoy. On the surface, the plot of Lonestar is simple enough. The skeletal remains of a human are discovered in the wasteland of Frontera, a small Texas community plagued with racial and class divisions, impending poverty and legal corruption. Eventually, the skeleton is revealed to be the remains of Charley Wade (Kris Kristofferson), a corrupt sheriff who ruled the town with an evil fist some 30 years earlier. The current sheriff, Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), is determined to find out who murdered Charley, especially since he suspects his father. Buddy (Matthew MCConaughey). Apparently, Buddy and Charley had a confrontation the night Charley disappeared along with $10,000. Shortly after Charley's disappearance, Buddy became sheriff. While Buddy was not a saint of a sheriff, he was highly respected by his community. Corrupt or not. Buddy was a wel- come substitute for Charley. This fact only complicates Sam's search for the truth because the community seems determined to bury its tainted history. Sayles (who served as the film's writer, director, producer, editor, caterer, chauffeur, dishwasher, etc etc.) conjures up a classic mystery narrative, but, like all his films, Lonestar is not so easily categorized. Several subplots flow throughout the story, all concerning the truths of history. In addition to Sam's story, we are witness to the lives of Col. Delmore Payne (Joe Morton), an aspiring soldier who is forced to confront a father he never had; Delmore's son, Chet (Eddie Robinson), who goes behind his father's back to learn about his family's past; and Pilar Cruz (Elizabeth Pena), a school teacher �! Kris Kristoffersofi throws his weight around in a bravura performance as the corrupt sberrif Charlie Wade in John Sayles' new film Lonestar. PHOTO COURTESY OF CASTIE ROCK FILMS whose buried personal history is brought back to the surface by the reemergence of an old love. Sayles' ability to create complex stories that all connect thematically is unsurpassed here. He explores such themes as familial divisions, racism, corrupt power and destiny, and he does so with the controlled, expert precision of a professional. In lesser hands, this film would be a muddled mess; with Sayles, it is an exercise in craftsmanship. For example, Sayles breathlessly transcends his narrative from the present to the past and back again with a simple pan of the camera. No flashy jump cuts, no cheesy fade-outs and fade-ins. Instead, he crosses time by simply moving his camera from one fixed point to another, a simple technique that has grand results. As much as this is Sayles' film, he must share credit. The compositional cinematography by Stuart Dryburgh perfectly captures the bitter heat and sweat of the decaying Texas desert, which is given a mythic presence by the indigenous music of Mason Daring. And no Sayles film can be critiqued without mentioning the actors. Sayles is cne of a handful of directors who truly under- stands the art of acting. Time and time again, he pulls career- making performances from his cast, and this is no exception. Everyone has their moment to shine, but standing tall are Cooper and Kristofferson, who portray polar opposites of jus- tice. As Sheriff Sam Deeds, Cooper carries with him a sense of emotional drain, someone who has had everything he cared for ripped from him. Sam's determination to dig up the truth is impenetrable, but so is his sense of isolation. On the flip side, Kristofferson turns in the best perfor- mance of his long career. A simple wink of ins eye and cocky curl of his lip is enough to fill his corrupt sheriff with the wrath and violence of pure evil. Kristofferson's physical presence makes Charley an icon of fear, even without a pistol at his side. It's a bravura performance with minimal screen time.

Scorsese has since gone more mainstream with his films and, as a result, lost some of his independent spunk. Sayles is still, and has been for a very long time, a faithful child of independent film- making. He finances and makes his films his way with little or no obliga- tion to a major studio. With Lonestar, Sayles may very well have pushed Scorsese to the side and secured himself as the greatest living American director. All hail the king! Or better yet, rush out and rent his films.

The song is called "Bridges Burn It con- cerns the abnormal values of family life after the familial connection is broken. It's not a problem. It's just another demon that graces a few of our sheltered lives. It's like taking "securi- ty" out for a drive and dumping it into a nearby river. After listening to the emotional impact of this song, just remember to breathe. My favorite song on the record was "Beautiful Life A song that ironically places its setting in grime, passes the bill as a negative uplift. Which simply means that the mood is dark, the lyrics are dark, but the song is just damn cool. The last song to be heard is called "Castaway I know what you're think- ing. Another soft rocker talking about yesterday's love wish. Nothing could be further than the truth. Would vou believe stretched out jazz? That's the way the ball swings on the closing of this record - nothing too fancy, nothing too commercial to leave an impression, just a laid back groove with tons of accompaniment. It's funny, you would think after putting so much time into a song to make it into a hit record that a band would feel most comfortable when that song's energy was around. But I find it all the more real when a band plays a solid riff and an hour of improv just happens. That kind of playing is intelligent. It shows just how much chemistry there is between each band member. It's something to think about when you're getting started, learning how to speak to each other on a different level. I don't know why Underfoot wait- ed until the last minute to put on a jam like "Castaway Maybe it's because the good things in life are worth waiting for. That's the story of my life. Patience, oh' how frustrating thou can be. This Saturday night you don't have to wait anymore. You can hear Underfoot at the .Attic. The show starts around 10:00 p.m. INXS continued trom page 7 of such bands as U2 incorporating techno and electronic music into their songs, INXS felt necessary to try their hand at this. Unfortunately, it failed miserably. It was the first INXS album in ten years without a hit single. Atlantic Records and INXS parted ways after that album, and so, when INXS recently signed on with Mercury, they were teamed up with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who has gained the most notoriety for moving Van Halen from being merely silly to actually sucking. (You know, he was the guy who produced Balance.) Well, sorry to say, on Elegantly Wasted Fairbairn has managed to reduce INXS to nothing more than a group of has-beens. There are a few good songs on the disc, but they're nothing special. The best song on the album, "Don't Lose Your Head might actually chart, but it's really nothing more than a tribute to early John Cougar. It even has the drum machine handclaps in it. For the most part though, this album is a nostalgic trip to the days when Kuk and X were all over the charts. The album's opener, "Show Me is a horrible song. It sounds like a song by Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds, except, of course without Stradlin's trademark crudeness. The second track, also the first single "Elegantly Wasted is a blatant rip-off of "Need You Tonight Songs like "Searching" and "fe Are Thrown' Together" are also rip-offs of oloV INXS, sounding like carbon copies oS "Never Tear Us Apart" or "The? Stairs but without any of the emo- tion that made those songs enjoyablejj One of the most disappointing aspects of this album is that INXS is fe band of six guys, and it sounds lik most of it was programmed with syrry thesizers and drum machines. Kirk Pengilly, who has always filled INXS songs with saxophone solos, doesn't play his sax on this disc at all, except for a smattering on "I'm Just A Man The band has three guitarists and barely any guitars on the album. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the whole album was just a marketing trick to give Michael Hutchence a reason to prance around and show off his butt. The best thing you can do is go find used copies of old INXS albums, and buy those. For the price of a new copy of Elegantly Wasted, you can pror ably buy cheap used copies of Kitk.

April 17, 1997 lifestyle The East Carolinian Madonna to come under academic scrutiny COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE Pop star Madonna, one of the world's best-known celebrities, is to come under academic scrutiny. The University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands said it was beginning a course of study titled "Madonna: the music and the phenomenon The course will run for ten weeks with four hours of lectures per week, examining Madonna's work and articles about her controversial career. So far, 63 students have enrolled. "We think it's high time that pop music is studied. Madonna is the most famous female pop artist of the last 15 years and has expressed interest in many social issues said one of the course instructors, Mark van den Berg. Van den Berg, who holds a doctorate in computational linguistics, said Madonna's examinations of racism, sexuality and feminism provided ample material for academic investigation. But there were no plans to invite the star to make a personal appearance. Madonna, above in bunny suit, is now the topic of scholarly discussion. Go figure.

Revamped greens at Pinehurst's famed course subtle as ever PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) - The U.S. Open will be played in the South for only the second time in its long history when the golfing major comes to Pmehurst's No. 2 course in 1999. 7 The region's summer heat and what it can do to greens has been the main reason the famed tournament has steered clear of Dixie in the past. That's also why Pinehurst has spent the last 10 months renovating the greens at Donald Ross' world-famous design, including the reseeding of all the putting surfaces with a heat-resistant form of bentgrass that is supposed t0 55?"the nrmneM and health of thc greens in the summer.

"But I think more and more as every day goes by there is confidence in the ability of the course to stand the test - both in terms of the payability and the climate Pinehurst used the same bentgrass on its No. 8 course, which opened last year. City Council passes new financing plan that could clinch arena RALEIGH (AP) - The City Council's passage of � new financing plan clears the way for construction of a proposed $120 million multi-purpose arena, said the chairman of the group charged with managing the arena. The 5-3 vote Tuesday followed months of contentious negotiations between Raleigh and Wake County leaders. "This is a tremendous, historic day for this city and this region said Steve Stroud, chairman of the Centennial Authority. "We have five very courageous City Council members who put their political differences aside to vote for the future The deal would provide revenue from the county hotel tax to finance the final 148 million needed for the $120 million project. The deal now requires the approval of Wake County commissioners, who would have to sign off on new conditions attached by the council. Those conditions include more local representation on the authority and a requirement that the arena pay the city and county about $1.5 million annually instead of property taxes. They also include a provision requiring $1 million in hotel tax revenue to go to the city and as much to the county for tourism and entertainment related projects.

The Lady Pirates (13-3 in the Big South) may be heading into the tournament as the number one seed, a position that will earn them a bye m found one of the con- ference battle to be held May 2-4. Coastal Carolina's team has 10 more conference games scheduled within the next two weeks. One loss will move Coastal Carolina our of the tie for first place and will hand a con- ference sweep to ECU. Rhonda Rost, a senior member of the I�ady Pirate tribe, said it's a relief to have the conference games over with and to be in such a apod position at this point of the season. "We can focus now without so much pressure Rost said. "We are concentrating on staying consistent and continuing to move forward The team has broken the ECU softball record for the most seasonal wins with a 43-18 overall record. Prior to this year, the record was held with 42 wins. According to Rost, the Lady Pirates have learned a lot this year through playing a diverse mix of teams. "We have played so many differ- cnt teams at so many different levels, which has helped us grow Rost said. "We have played top 25 teams, as well as teams that aren't even recog- nized at all. It's a great thing to win but we also know how it feels to lose Last year, the Lady Pirates fin- ished in second place in the Big South Conference. Heading into the tournament as the conference new- comers and, therefore, underdogs, ECU had to beat UNC Greensboro twice in order to sweep the title. They set out in thc right direction, with a 19-3 victory in game one, but lost game two 4-3, thus handing thc 19 conference title over to UNC- G. Rost said the team is in a much better position now than tl were at this point last season. "W: did okay last year, but we weren't the team everyone out there was looking to beat Rost said. "I knew we had a good chance to domi- nate this year because we are a very solid team with so many experienced players. Everyone has really pulled together and done their job The team's ultimate goal, to make it to the NCAA Championships, is one that can obviously be reached by maintaining the same mental atti- tude that has been held since the girls first stepped out on the field in August. At thc rate the Lady Pirates arc going, it is more than likely this goal can and will be reached. The championship is scheduled to be held in Oklahoma in late May.

The Lady Pirates ended thc regular season with five consecutive wins, two from forfeited matches. Appalachian State forfeited its match on Friday, April 12 and Louisburg College did the same for the match whkh was scheduled to be played in Greenville on Tuesday. The last match in whkh the Pirates actually faced opponents was Sunday, April 13. The ladies took care of business in Hickory, defeating N.C. A&T in the morning match and Belmont Abbey later that same after- noon, Both of the victories were shutouts, winning by the score of 6-0 each time. ECU finished thc regular season with a 13-9 overall record and a 3-2 con- ference record. The conference losses were dealt to the Pirates in back-to back blows by James Madison and Old Dominion. On April 5 thc Pirates lost to JMU 1-8 and to ODU by the same score the very next day. Or' the seven ladies on the team, five finished with individual winning seasons. Mona Eck, a junior transfer student from Norway paved the way with a 14-5 records, going 2-0 at the No. 2 position, and 12-5 at the No. 3 spot. Anne-Birgjttc Svae, who is also from Norway, wasn't far from Eek's position a 12-7 finish. Svae was the only Pirate to play in the No. 1 spot all year long. Thc other Pirates who had a winning season were Catherine Morgan (10-9), Gina MacDonald (11-7) and the lone freshman on the team, Corissa Cheek (4-2). Holfyn Gordon, the only senior on the team, finished with a 9-11 record. Gordon completes her career at ECU with an overall winning record of 32- 28. junior Rachael Cohen finished 7-8 and played the No. 2 position in every one of her matches this season. The CAA Championships will begin tomorrow April 18, and go through Sunday April 20. The tournament will be held on the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk. ECU hosts martial arts tournament The First East Carolina Universtiy Open Martial Arts Toumment was held in the Student Recreation Center on Saturday, April 5. The purpose of the tournament was to increase awareness of martial arts and to encourage participants to sharpen their skills by inviting martial arts clubs to participate from all over North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina. The tournament was hosted by the Department of Recreational Services. Four divisions competed in various ranks and ages with the participants competing in forms, weapons, and fighting. The competitors ranged in age from six to 44 yean old. Sensei Kevin Gurganus from Durham won Grand Champion in Black Belt Kara and fighting. The clubs recieved much support from the region's surrounding schools, as well as support from the business community. A local martial arts instructor, Sensei Charles June, and his black belt team members judged the competition. This tournament will be an annual event, and could grow to be one of the largest of its size on the East Coast. The mariiii arts club recently held a tournament in the Student Recreation Center. This tournament will now be an annual event.

If the Lady Pirates continue with their hot streak, they might give the "hard to beat" George Mason squad a run for their money and hold off the rest of thc pack who are trying to knock thc Pirates out of their three year second place standing. Coach "Choo" Justice has faith in his girls d with performances earlier in the season from veterans Amanda Johnson, in the long jump, Lave Wilson in both the long and triple jump, and Michdle Tunic" Clayton in the shot put, hammer throw and discus, it's easy to le optimistic Last weekend, despite bad weather, a few Lady Pirates competed at Duke Invitational and their performances can only intensify the excitement building up for this weekend's big meet. Clayton, who placed fourth in thc women's hammer throw with a 172'6" throw, which was an NCAA qualifying distance, was one of the top finishers. The toss was also a new school record and personal best for Clayton. She finished among two former Olympians. Wilson finished third in the triple jump, leaping a distance of 39'8 34 while up-and-coming freshman Leana Anding finished eighth with a jump of 37 1 It was the first time Anding had reached the finals. Kerri Harding put in a star performance in the women's 10,000 meters. Harding crossed thc finish line in ninth place with a time of 37:59.25, meet- ing ECAC qualifying standards. Finishing up the weekend Missy Johnson hurdled into third place with her season's best in the women's 400 meter in a time of 15.14. Look for the Pirates this weekend along with the jumping duo of Johnson and Wilson and the throwing genius of Clayton, along with Darlene Vick, Leigh Brannon, Theresa Donovan, and Jennifer Prevatt, freshman sprinting hopefuls Rasheca Barrow, Nikki Goins, Carmen Weldon and Kai Eason and the rest of the Lady Pirate gang as they prepare to dominate the competition at the CAA Lacrosse team posts tournament win SEAN SULLIVAN . CONTRIHTIM. WRIIKK The ECU Lacrosse team, ranked seventh out of 80 teams in the National Collegiate lacrosse league, won the Camp Lejeune Tournament this past weekend. However, ECU didn't just win; they won most decisively, outscoring their opponents 68-10 overall. The first game ECU played was against N.C. Wesleyan. Marked by thc historic first goal of B.W, the Pirates stomped Wesleyan 24-0. This was the team's final step towards the playoffs and gave them the divi- sional title with a record of 9-0 in league play. The next game, played during a torren- tial downpour, was another close one; here the Pirates walked away with a 17-3 victory over UNC-Charlotte. After staying at thc tournament party just long enough to ruin Clemson's run by embarrass- ing them in the pull-up competition 16-8 (good job John "The Real Deal" "They were a good team but we showed a lot of heart and just wanted it more Captain Johnny Provost , ECU Lacrosse Player Conway), the Pirates faced a much tougher Sunday schedule. ECU opened the day against Camp Lejeune, who would provide the toughest game ECU would play over the course of the weekend. Regardless, the Pirates came back from a two goal deficit to defeat an unhappy squad of Marines 7-5. "They were a good team, but we showed a lot of heart and just want- ed it more said Captain Johnny "War Buff" Provost. The fourth game the Pirates played on the weekend was quite an enjoyable one. Once again ruining Clemson's fun, the Pirates walked over the Tigers almosfeffortlessry in a 10-1 victory. This win put ECU into the championship game against a tough Charleston Men's Club team. Charleston's goalie as a wall in the beginning of the game and gave the Pirates some trouble. However, once they got going they were unstoppable and ECU pulled off a SEE LACROSSE PAGE 13 : V : league NEW YORK (AP) - Rfty yean after Jackie Robinson became the first black player in the majors, baseball retired his number in tribute Tuesday night, saying No. 42 will belong to the sports pioneer "for the ages7 With President Clinton and Robinson's widow, Rachel, standing at home plate, acting commissioner Bud Setig announced that baseball was retiring the number the late Hall of Runer wore throughout his career. "The day Jackie Robinson stepped on a major league field will forever be remembered as baseball's proudest moment Setig said. "Major league baseball is retiring No. 42 in tribute to his great achieve- ments and for the significant contri- butions he made to society. "No. 42 belongs to Jackie Robinson for the ages No other major professional sport has honored one of its players in a similar fashion. The game between the New brk Met and Los Angeles Dodgers was halted alter die fifth inning for 35 minutes as Clinton, using two canes, walked to home plate with Selig and Mrs, Robinson. He waved to the new capacity crowd and gave a thumbs-up �ga as Secret Service men ringed the field. "It is hard to believe that it was 50 yean ago at Ebbets field that a 28-year-old rookie changed die fine of baseball and the face of America forever he said. "Jackie Robinson �cored the go-ahead run that day and we've all been trying to catch up ever since With players from both teams standing in front of their dugouts, Qinron saluted Robinson's contribu- rion to his game and his country. "Today 1 drink every American should say a special word of thanks �o Jackie Robinson, Branch Rfckey and members of that Dodgers team made him one of their own and America is a better; stronger, country when we all work ither and give everyone a chance he said. "I can't help thinking if Jackie was here with us tonight, he would say we have done a lot of good, but we can do better Mrs. Robinson called the celebra- tion "a great moment for all of us "I believe that the greatest trib- ute that we can pay to Jackie Robinson is to gain new support for a more equitable society. And in this heady environment of unity, it is my hope that we can carry his living legacy beyond this glorious momentshe said. After Selig's announcement, scores of red, white and blue bal- loons soared from behind the right field fence. On the left field wsH Robinson's No. 42 appeared next to three previously retired New Tfork Mets numbers -Casey Stengel's No. 37, Gil Hodges No. 14 and Tom Seaver'sNo.41. The 12 players who currently wear No. 42, like Butch Huskey of the Mets and Mo Vaughn of the Boston Red Sox, will be permitted to keep the number until they leave the game, Selig said. But no one will be given die num- ber from now on, he added. "I have a lot of pride now Huskey said. "I can walk anywhere and they'll say 'He's one of the guys who can wear No. 42 IK walk alone There were tributes to Robinson at other major league ballparks Tuesday night, with the Shea Stadium ceremony being shown on video screens and his number flash- ing on scoreboards. In Cleveland, Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr. wore No. 42, instead of his usual 24, in a game against the- Indians. "He worked hssd for each and every one of us. 1 had a chance to wear his number. Now III hang it on my wafl. It's something I wiB cherish forever Griffey said. Robinson's grandson, Jesse Simms, threw out the first ball for the game between the Mets and Dodgers.

Before the game, both teams lined up on the foul lines and a half- dozen of Robinson's old teammates, including Hall of ftmer Sandy Koufax, were introduced. Also on hand was Larry Doby, who followed Robinson to the majors, joining the Cleveland Indians 11 weeks later as the first black player in the American League. "Jackie was first, and I think what's happening tonight should be his Doby told ESPN, which televised the game. On the main scoreboard was a photo of Robinson in his classic white Brooklyn uniform coming down the third base hire, daring a pitcher to do something about it. New to that wasa message: "He was the handsome, heroic giant of our youth who taught us determination, taught us perseverance and finally, he taught u� justice When Robinson broke into the majors on April 15, 1947, there was no civil rights movement in America. It was a year before President Truman dcrefftgatcd the armed ser- vices. The Brown vs. Board of Education decision by the Supreme Court was still seven years away. Martin Luther King Jt had not yet graduated from Morehouse College. It was in that environment that Robinson embarked on his lonely odystcy, one made more difficult by his pledge to Dodgers boss Branch Rickey not to answer the fusillade of abuse triggered by his arrival. "He was die right one to do it said Buck CNed, who played with and managed the Negro League Kansas City Monarch. "I don't know if others could have done it Joe Black, a genial pitcher who roomed with Robinson, remembered seething on the mound at the insults that still poured down when he was a rookie, five years after Robinson's debut. "Jackie came in from second base and said 'forget it. Just pitch Black said. Don Newcombe, another old Dodgers pitcher, said teams were careful about what they said to him.

Robinson continued from page 12 virtually all of his baseball life in the Dodgers' organization, called the anniversary a fitting tribute. "But it shouldn't stop with base- ball he said. "Remember the man. Remember his philosophy. Remember how much he meant to this country Black echoed that sentiment. "Young people should take time to ask who Jackie Robinson was, what he did and what he stood for Black said. "It's more than being the first guy that played. That alone doesn't mean anything. "He tried to improve life for everybody. He was always doing things for other people Lacrosse continued from page 11 10-1 victory. This provided the lacrosse team's first tournament win in years.
