Eastern NC residents reveal greatest concerns
ECU research lab survey
explores the issues

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.

ECU Dining Services is planning a busy
summer by updating, remodeling and reorga-
nizing five of the campus dining areas.
"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

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

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.

To most students, the end ot the school vcar
means going home tor the summer, or at least
a break before summer school. Hut tor EC! '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

Drowning leaves fraternity brothers devastated
RALEIGH (AP) � Counselors and ministers visited a North Carolina State
fraternity still mourning the loss of a newly initiated member who drowned
last weekend.
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.

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.

Kidney Foundation looking for old cars
The National Kidney Foundation of N.C. is looking for used, unwanted and hard to sell cars. The Kidney Foundation
is asking people to donate these vehicles to the organization and help save lives.
The organization plans to sell the cars at statewide auctions or have their parts recycled and used for scrap metal,
plastic and valuable parts.
The funds raised will be used for the foundation's drive programs.
The cars will be picked up free of charge. Donors will receive a letter for tax purposes and will determine the
value of the vehicle because it is a charitable contribution.

Drugs are not just a Greek problem, they are a societal problem.
, The near fatal overdoses of two students reported in the April 16 edition of TEC are a reflection of a problem
indicative of the entire ECU community.
. 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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Perhaps because of the success

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-

purposes.
Opposing Hager's viewpoint is
Curtis Sliwa, the founder and presi-

private citizens. Currently, branches of
his organization can be found in about
300 cities worldwide in such diverse

Lysistrata closes out season for ECU Playhouse
Dale Williamson
ASSISTANT LIFESTVLE EDITOR
Ever since the sexual revolution of the late '60s, popular media has increasing-
ly become more liberal with its use of sexual themes. 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.
Any lover of theater should make every effort to support the ECU Playhouses
especially since they are striving to bring an eciecric array of drama into our com-
munity.
Lysistrata is rated PG-13, due to some risque material.
Individual tickets are on sale now from $8-$9 for the general public; $7-$8
for ECU faculty and staff; and $5-$6 for ECU students.
Tickets can be purchased in person Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m at the McGinnis Theatre box office; bv calling 328-6829 or 328-
1726; or by mail. East Carolina Playhouse, ECU, Greenville, NC 27858.
Tickets are available for late-comers on the night of the shows until 8:15 p.m.

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

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.
For the longest time, I have boasted that Martin Scorsese,
the creator of such masterpieces as Raging Bull and The Lust

Temptation of Christ, is the greatest liv-
ing American director. 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

track, I found the band to be in differ-
ent places all at the same time. 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.

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. X
and Welcome To Wherever You Are and
still have enough money left over for a
cup of coffee when you're done.

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.
"We have been close to insistent that we wanted assurances that these
greens would stand out because they are so important to No. 2 said United
States Golf Association executive director David Fay, who inspected the
course Tuesday. "Thankfully, the ownership felt the same way
�Agronomically, in the eyes of some of the USOA members, it's a bit of a
reach, Pat Gorso, president of Pinehurst Resort and Country Club said of
tournament coming South. "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.

First place in eyes of softball team
Tracy laubach
SENIOR WR1TFR
ECU's softball team has finished
their regular season and is currently
tied for first place with Coastal
Carolina in the Big South
Conference. 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.

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

spot. Anne-Birgjttc Svae, who is also from Norway, wasn't far from Eek's

The Lady Pirate track and field team has had an incredible season this year,
rewriting the record books in several running and field events. This weekend
they travel to UNC-Wilmington for their conference meet, where they will
try to recapture their second place title.
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,

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.

played on the weekend was quite an

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

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

Also on hand was Larry Doby,
who followed Robinson to the
majors, joining the Cleveland

Education decision by the Supreme
Court was still seven years away.
Martin Luther King Jt had not yet

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.
