, THURSOAY EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA '97-98 SGA budget excludes tuition payments for exec board AMANDA AUSTIN STAFF WRITE STl'DENT ORGANIZATIONS The Student Government Association (SGA) approved the budget for the 1997-98 school year. Among many changes made in the bud- get, SGA Executive Council tuition was not included. In the meeting held Monday, April 21, the amount of funding to be appropriated to cam- pus groups and organizations was announced. The total amount to be appropriated has sig- nificantly decreased. The total amount dis- tributed last vear was $152,747 to 39 groups. This year $134,942 was distributed to 45 groups. "I would like to have been able to give out additional money said SGA Vice President Sean McManus. "It is my job to be treasurer and I think that this budget is financially sound said former SGA Treasurer Jonathan Phillips. "There has not been a dramatic change on anybody One of SGA President Scott Forbes' cam- paign issues was to terminate tuition being paid for SGA executives. He has succeeded in fulfilling his promise, although SGA tuition will be paid during summer sessions. "It feels pretty good that I don'c have to pay for it said ECU student Michael Smith. "As long as I don't have to pay I'm happy "If that is what the people wanted, then that is what they should have gotten Phillips said. Phillips said he feels everyone should be given the opportunity to become SGA presi- dent, and anyone can afford to be president with these scholarships. Phillips added chat when it comes to athletics, we pay for their tuition, yet we have no choice in who will play. In SGA the students are given the opportunity to decide who should receive a scholarship. Other than SGA tuition there are mixed feelings among group organizations over whether or not they received the funding they deserve. Some groups are disappointed in what they received, while others are happy with the funding. The Honor Board will receive less funding this yean Last year the Honor Board received $3100, decreasing to $876 for this year. Scott Forbes wishes the Honor Board had received more funding to be used for training. Forbes would like to see them get the recogni- tion they deserve. According to Present .Attorney General Cori Sabet the size of the Honor Board will be dou- bling in the coming year. A new system is being used by appropria- tions where funding takes place twice a year. Phillips said he feels that the new system is the reason the Honor Board received less fund- ing, and that perhaps they will receive more during spring appropriations. Although the Honor Board is disappointed, the ECU Friends are happy with what they have received. Out of the 48 groups who requested fund- ing, three were denied. Groups that received no funding were Eta Sigma Gamma, Thespians for Diversity, Sigma Gamma Rho and Kappa Alpha Psi. Sigma Gamma Rho received no funding due to the fact that they are a member of the National Pan-Hellinic Council and, therefore, not eligible for funding from SGA. Reasons for the others are unknown. In addition to the budget, a resolution was made at the meeting to increase participation with groups and organizations in the le ture to better represent themselves to the stu- dents of ECU. SGA would like to initiate an active cam- paign to recruit respective members in the general legislature to be part of the communi- ty. The organizations which receive funding in addition to those registered with the Off Leadership Development will be contacted and given a copy For a complete break- down of the organiza- tions and the approved amount of money, turn to page 4. of this resolu- tion and will be briefed regard- ing the inten- tions of the res- olution. Medical student Moore ready for third-year challenges Marguerite benjamin NEWS EDITOR Trie transition from the first year to the third year of medical school is a momentous occasion to many people for numerous reasons. On Saturday, April 19, ECU School of Medicine recognized the 76 members of its class of 1999 with a White Coat Ceremony. jr With family and friends present. Dean of ECU's School of Medicine and Vice Chancellor for Heath Sciences James A, Hallock, M.D Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Julius O. Mallette, M.D. and Senior Associate Dean Ann C. Jobe, M.D. fitted each of the honorees with the signature white jackets medical students wear while making hos- pital rounds during their last two years of medical school. Class President Andora Lynn Bass spoke briefly on the experiences she and her classmates shared over the past two years and the optimism they all hold for the next. "As we stand here today at this bridge between our years in the classroom as passive learners and our next two years of practical experience, we must remember that it was our work as a group that got us here as individuals, and now it will be our performance as individuals that will decide our success as a group Bass said. Guest Speaker and Professor of Medicine John Christie, M.D Ph.D. agreed with Bass and adv.sed the prospec- tive physicians that during the coming years, "now more than ever the Class of 1999 will need the support of every classmate, friend and family member at its disposal. Family is indeed an important fixture in the lives of all the students present at Saturday s ceremony, but especially for one student in particular. In December 1995, TEC featured an article on James N. Moore, III, who left his job at East Carolina University as biology lab coordinator to take on the challenge of medical school. Upon entering his first year of medical school, Moore told TEC that the hardest thing about going to medical school was "going from making money to (making no money" Now after two years of Ixiok work, moncv is the least of his worries. "Probablv now the thing I'll miss the most is sleep Moore said, referring the fact that, besides finding the time to study and review material, third-year medical students are constantly "on call" to perform at the hospital. As reported in TECs feature on Moore, he is probably one of the luckier students in the class of 1999 because he can rely daily on the advice and support of his wife. Tammy Conner-Moore, M.D who has already experienced what lies ahead of Moore and is current- ly a family physician at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. At the time of TECs last interview with Moore, he was worried about the arrival of his second child (Brandon, now 19 months old) interrupting his exam schedule. On Saturday, however, Moore seemed surprisingly calm and eager to meet whatever challenges the next two years will bring. After the ceremony, like most of the other newly "white-coat- ed" sophomores, Moore was surrounded by friends and family, including his parents, James and Yvonne, wife Tammy, sons James IV and Brandon and sister. Candiee. On Saturday ECU's School of Medicine honored the 76 members of the Class of 1999 with a White Coat Ceremony to mark the transition between the class- room based first two years of medical school and the more practical final two years. After being filled with his traditional whte coat, sopho- more James Morman Moore II, stands with pround par- ents, Yvonne (L) and James N. Moore II (R).

Jarvis Hall, located in central campus, will receive total interior and partial exterior reno- vations to update and improve the living con- ditions of its residents. "Right now we have a timeline set for the renovations but no specific set beginning date said Manny Amaro, university housing director. "We are in the process of briefing archi- tects and deciding who will do the project for us Amaro said.

The only other original building on campus is the old cafeteria building which now holds financial aid and the ECU post office, among other things. "It was suggested that we tear down Jarvis and build a new residence hall in its place Amaro said, "But we didn't want to do that because Jarvis is such a part of ECU's history The renovation project will basically tear out the entire inside of Jarvis Hall, rebuild it, and will include some exterior renovations. The exterior will receive new landscaping, cleaning and sealing of mortar and brickwork, new window frames, new wooden trim, and new gutters. The interior renovations will be much more complex. They will include new wood and carpeted floors, new bathrooms and fix- tures, new stairwells, new sprinkler and fire alarm systems, new plumbing and electrical systems, and a new multipurpose room. This new multipurpose room will be a loungesocial area. It will be constructed on the south side of Jarvis, facing the mall, and will include a new entrance for the residents so they do not have to walk around the build- ing to enter it. The new entrance will have a handicapped ramp and elevator to make Jarvis accessible for all students. There are also plans to renovate the resi- dence coordinator's suite and to build an office for the coordinator. To keep with Jarvis's rich history, a red clay tile roof, identical to the original roof, will be installed to match Cotten and Fleming Halls. A residence hall which normally houses approximately 170 students, Jarvis's closing will create some on-campus housing problems but University Housing is preparing for them. "There will be some space issues due to Jarvis's closing Amaro said, "However we are prepared to deal with them and we will try to minimize them as much as possible Amaro said if space is a problem next semester, Jarvis may be reopened as tempo- rary housing like it was in the beginning of this academic year. Though Jarvis is the smallest residence hall, Amaro said the residents really love living there and the atmosphere stays very positive. "1 think the renovations will be a wonder- ful addition and improvement for the whole campus Amaro said. University Housing is also looking into renovation of Belk and Fletcher Halls. "We're studying them now but they're long-range projects Amaro said. "Obviously though, we can't shut down any more resi- dence halls until Jarvis is completed Jacqueline D. Kellim RTS NI) STI'DIF.S ISSIES STVFF WRITER Thanks to a partnership between ECU and the Microsoft Corporation, all students, staff and faculty will soon have access to an electronic com- munication system called Microsoft Exchange 5.0. Microsoft Exchange serves some of the same functions as the e-mail system currently used at ECU. but according to Ernest Marshburn, asso- ciate director of computing and information systems, it has several addi- rionai functions and is much more advanced. One of the key advantages of Exchange is when fully implemented, anyone holding an ECU account will not even have to be on campus to make use of it. Exchange is accessible from anywhere, as long as the user can get to an Internet browser. "No matter where you are, you have access to your mail Marshburn said. Marshburn pointed out such a feature is particularly advantageous to a university community, where so many of the users are what he called "nomadic users meaning they often move from one computer to anoth- er. "I don't know if you realize how special you are at this point and time Marshburn said. "We are the first university in the U.S. to have this Another advantage to Exchange is the ability to do most of the basic word processing functions users are accustomed to using. Exchange includes word wrap, spell check, the ability to do bullercd lists, italicize. boldface, underline, and center text. Some of the other features of Exchange include an electronic address book which will include the names of everyone on campus, and elec- tronic calendars. Ir is possible students will have increased access m their teachers through Exchange, not only by being able to send mail to them. but also schedule appointments with them or submit assignments to their teachers through Exchange. Computing and information systems has already lx-gun implement inn Exchange on campus, but it will take several monrhs to complete instal- lation. They hope it will be available to students sometime in the t ill. To assist the campus community7 in learning to use Exchange, a hand- out has already been written which covers the basics. I here s also amort- in-depth guide, of which a limited number of copies will lie given to each department. Exchange will require a new user ID and password tor ad w Marshburn emphasized that ECU is the first to haw Exchange. "East Carolina University will be the first university to impia Microsoft Exchange 5.0 in a university wide model for all faculty, and students Marshburn said. While being the first is something to be proud of, Marshburn said, it also needs to be kept in mind that being the first also means having to deal with whatever problems may arise. "When you're the first, and there is no path, you're going to run into the thorny bushes Marshburn said. However, Marshburn said he felt in the end. the bumps in the etec- tronic road would be worth it. and the benefits of Exchange would far outweigh the disadvantages. Presdents's visit provides diversion for victims of Red River flood GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. (AP) - For hundreds of people who took refuge in huge jet hangars after the Red River of the North swamped their city, a visit from President Clinton was a welcome diversion. And his pledge Tuesday to pout federal aid into the region brought hope. "The spirits are really low, really low Mary Braden. a Red Cross volunteer, said as dozens of evacuees pressed to shake hands with the president. "It will lift spirits up to know he cares enough to come Clinton, accompanied by four Cabinet sec- retaries, flew by helicopter over the inundated cities of Grand Forks, N.D and East Grand Forks, Minn. With the stench of sewage hanging in the air, caramel-colored water spread as far as the president could see - the cities are essentially a lake. Afterward, he was briefed by rescue workers and state and local officials, and he spoke to some of the 2,500 evacuees who are subsisting in three hangars on the base. "I will never forget what I have seen and heard here Clinton told several hundred evacuees gathered in one of the hangars, which usually house huge KC-135 refueling tanker planes. The refugees' cots were pushed to one side to make room for Clinton's platform, which was decorated with sandbags. "We'll be there every step of the way the president promised. With thousands homeless and the area's infrastructure destroyed, Clinton told relief workers and residents he would ask Congress for $488 million in flood assistance for the North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. That includes the $259 million he had already requested. "It's wonderful said refugee Bridgie Hansen. her eyes reddened with tears. "I just want to see it happen now And, in a rare move, the president ordered the Federal Emergency Management .Agency to pay for 100 percenr of the immediate emer- gency work; traditionally Washington pays 75 percent. "People here are giving KM) percent and we should, too Clinton said. The traditional 75 percent match is likely to be required for expenses down the road. The president also added 18 Minnesota and 53 South Dakota counties to the lonf of areas eligible for aid. Damages in this region could exci lion.

April 24. 1997 news The East Carolinian Convicted dniQ dealers say clerk helped them get fake driver's licenses WILMINGTON (AP) - A former Cumberland County clerk of court was paid with money and drugs to get fate driver's licenses for convicted drug dealers, the leader of a trafficking ring testified. Marion Person, 71, is on trial in U.S. District, charged with conspiracy to traffic in drugs for helping a drug gang led by Charles Glenn Parker. Authorities say Parker's gang, most of whose members are now in prison, imported $30 million worth of cocaine and marijuana into North Carolina over a 10-year span. Person got the phony licenses for them through a license examiner in Elizabethtown who was paid with steaks and liquor and at least once with sex, Parker testified. Person's lawyer, Alice Stubbs, said Person was a man who tned to help people, not a conspirator in drug trafficking. But Parker, who is serving a 35-year term in a federal penitentiary, testi- fied about eight instances in which he said Person helped get fake licenses that the gang then used to reserve hotel rooms, lease houses and get titles for cars. EPA fits building to price RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency will have to downsize its new research building by 20 per- cent to meet its $232 million budget and won't be able to consolidate its Triangle-area operations under one roof as it had hoped to do. The decision has left employees in the excluded areas wondenng about their future and frustrated they won't be part of the new research center. The state-of-the-art center will be built on a 509-acrc site owned by the federal government and will be the largest of the EPA's research operations. It was expected to consolidate more than 1,400 workers in the Triangle. The cuts became necessary after federal officials invited construction companies to bid on the project last fall. The lowest bid they received was I $262 million. Congress budgeted $232 million for the buiiding, of which $215 million is for the actual construction.

Sources close to the case told The Associated Press the jury consisted of seven men and five women, with three men and three women selected as alternates. Jurors will determine the guilt or innocence of Timothy McVeigh, a ZK- � year-old Gulf War veteran who faces the death penalty if convicted in the April 19,1995. bombing of the Alfred R Murrah federal Building. The blast killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. No court session was scheduled today, McVeigh's 29th birthday. Jurors return Thursday to take their oath and hear opening statements. A sloping wall - built on Matsch's orders - keeps most reporters from see- ding the jurv box, but members of the public hae a better view. Audience members said the panel appeared to have 16 whites and two whose race could not be determined, but who appeared to be either Hispanic or American Indian.

Her body was never found. � Police believe Anderson was planning to kill women in small towns across South Dakota. . . -e Now on trial, Anderson was to watch today as Shaina, now 4, testifies by dosed-circuit TV about a kidnapper police say was probably not worned that a child might identify him. Anderson. 27, is charged with kidnapping with intent to harm and rape and could get life in prison if convicted.

Federal authorities say US equipment diverted to arms plant5 NEW YORK (AP) - Federal investigators have discov- ered evidence indicating a Chinese firm diverted American machine equipment to a plant that builds mis- siles and jet fighters, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The Justice and Customs departments are looking into what happened to equipment bought in 1994 by a company called Catic that was supposed to be used exclusively for civilian purposes, the newspaper said. The probe, launched in the spring of 1996, could be embarrassing to the Clinton administration if it con- cludes that Catic purposely misled American officials. The new evidence, which includes satellite pho- tographs, questions the Clinton Administration's approval of the sale in the first place, the Times said, quoting officials it did not identify. The equipment was bought from the McDonnell Douglas Corp. in August 1994, and was supposed to be used for manufacturing civilian jets. The approval came around the time Secretary of Commerce Ronald H. Brown was leaving for China, vhere he helped persuade the Chinese to keep a com- mitment to spend $1 billion worth of jets from McDonnell Douglas. The Pentagon objected to the sale at the time, argu- ing that the heavy machine equipment, which is used to shape and bend large aircraft parts, could also be used to boost Chinese arms capability. Satellite photos show a military complex called the Nanchang Aircraft Co. houses the American equipment, but Beijing told the United States it was going to a civil- ian center in Beijing, the report said. Catic and its lawyers refused to answer questions about a grand jury investigation, the Times said. McDonnell Douglas said it did nothing wrong. Catic is immune from American prosecutors, but its U.S. subsidiary in Southern California has been subpoe- naed, administration officials told the newspaper. "For the administration, this has been a difficult deci- sion, weighing jobs against counterproliferation said Adm. Bill Center, who represented the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1994 talks within the Clinton Administration. He said the Joint Chiefs had opposed the sale on national security grounds. But after deliberations led by White House officials, Center said "all of us concluded that if McDonnell Douglas didn't sell it, others would, and we wouldn't accomplish anything by saying no Growing number of babies bom with drug addictions placed in foster care WILMINGTON (AP) - As baby Tye sleeps, her perfectly shaped fingers relax in response to foster mom Mollene Smith's tender massage. But other times, even a light touch causes the baby to pull her tiny hand away, ball up her fist and draw her legs into a tight fetal posi- tion. It's a crack baby's typical response to the stroking most infants find soothing. Tye was born March 3 to a moth- er who used crack cocaine and mari- juana during her pregnancy. She was immediately placed in the care of Mrs. Smith, a foster mother since 1992. "For the first 18 hours, you could not do anything for this baby Mrs. Smith said. Cuddling didn't help. The small but strong arms and legs stiffened to the touch, and the child pushed away. Tye is among a growing number of babies bom to mothers who used drugs or alcohol - or both - while pregnant. Last year, the New Hanover County Department of Social Services investigated 48 reports of babies born to substance- abusing mothers. The agency todk custody of 12 of them and required 24-hour supervision by an unim- paired caretaker for the others. Sixty-two percent of the 185 chit dren the department took into pr tectivc custody last year had parent? with serious drug or alcohol prob- lems. Drugs - especially crack - account for the largest percentage of child abuse and negiect reports in New Hanover County. SEE BABIES.

They don't like to be held, and they avoid eye contact, Dr. Veness-Meehan said. "For some reason, babies exposed to crack avoid looking at people's faces That makes it difficult for the baby to bond with a parent or caretaker, she said. And they often either cry uncon- trollably or stay in a deep sleep for hours. If she could, Tye would sleep right through her feedings. But she's gradually becoming more alert and has started smiling regularly. In severe cases, the baby's brain can hemorrhage in the womb, caus- ing a variety of physical and develop- mental problems, including cerebral palsy, paralysis and learning disor- ders, Dr. Veness-Meehan said. Tye is the second crack baby Mrs. Smith has cared for since Christmas. The first child, born on Christmas Day, is now with a foster couple who wants tc adopt her. Mrs. Smith's first experience caring for a drug baby was when she took in and adopted Jenny, who is now 5. It's important to help the babies develop a sense of security, Mrs. Smith said. Even as Tye sleeps, she strokes and talks to her continuous- ly- "We cuddle her a lot Mrs. Smith said. "We don't let her do a lot of fussing. I want her to know some- one is going to be there to cuddle her Tye is responding well. She is starting to make eye contact and gets fussy if someone isn't holding her. Mrs. Smith gives partial credit to New Hanover Regional Medical Center, which uses volunteers to rock and hold the drug babies from shortly after birth, Mrs. Smith said. "I tell you what, these are special babies - just seeing how far they come with all that attention she said, cooing at the sleeping bundle in her lap. That's not to say Tye won't have problems. She'll probably start hav- ing tremors, a normal reaction after the drugs are eliminated from the system - about a month after birth, Mrs. Smith said. And as they get older, many crack babies develop attention-deficit dis- orders or become hyperactive. Dr. Veness-Meehan said. In addition to Tye, Mrs. Smith has Jenny, three of her own children, two foster daughters and a foster son. She's also caring for the 2-year- old son of one foster daughter; who is expecting another baby. Recently separated, she juggles her duties as a parent with a job that at least allows her flexible hours. "I'm just real dedicated to them Mrs. Smith said. "And hopefully, we are making a difference - one child at a time Cat hairs lead to murder conviction NEW YORK (AP) - Here's an odd tale from the annals of DNA evidence in the courtroom: A Canadian man was convicted of murder after hairs in a bloodstained jacket were genetically matched to his parents' cat. The man lived with his parents and Snowball, a white American short hair. The case, reported in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, is one of the few times that nonhuman DNA has been used this way in a murder trial. The murdered woman was 32 when she disappeared from her home on Prince Edward Island in 1994. Her body was found in a shal- low grave a few months later, and police suspected her former com- mon-law husband. By then, the brown leather jack- et had been discovered, stuffed in a plastic bag and left in the woods. Tests showed the bloodstains belonged to the woman. The cat hairs were found in the lining. Police recalled seeing Snowball at the man's home during their investigation. They sent a biood sample from Snowball and hair from the jacket to Stephen J. O'Brien of the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Md. O'Brien has studied cat genetics for 20 vears. O'Brien and colleagues report in Nature that Snowball's DNA matched genetic material from the root of one of the hairs. lb help O'Brien compute the likelihood that such a match would occur by chance, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had a local veteri- narian draw blood randomly from 19 cats. O'Brien studied DNA in those samples, plus data from a prior sur- vey of nine cats from the United States. The likelihood that the jacket hair DNA would match Snowball's DNA just by chance was computed at about 1 in 45 million. The suspect was convicted of second-degree murder last July, and the DNA evidence was "a major contributing factor said Cpl. Phonse MacNeil of the Mounties in Summersidc, Prince Edward Island. Nonhuman DNA evidence has been used before in murder cases. In Arizona in 1W3, a man was con- victed after DNA from seed pods in his pickup truck was matched to a palo verde tree at the site where the victim's body was found. Edgar Espinoza, deputy director of the government's National I ish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Ashland, Ore said he had heard of another case in which hairs on a blanket that wrapped a murder vic- tim were matched by DNA to a sus- pect's dog. O'Brien's analysis was admitted in the Canadian court after a special hearing. George Sensabaugh, a pro- fessor of forensic and biomedical sci- ence at the University of California at Berkeley, said he believes the match is real. He said defense attor- neys would probably challenge the analysis in a U.S. court. "Frankly, I don't know whether a court would accept it or not he said. One objection would be that so few cats were used to compute the likelihood of a DNA match by chance, he said. Another would be that the particular DNA trait matched is not generally used in forensic DNA profiling, because of concerns about ambiguous findings, he said. O'Brien said he made up for his small number of cats by making comparisons at 10 sites in the DNA, which is more than usual in cases involving human hair. And the DNA trait he used gave clear results in the Snowball case, he said O'Brien's team did the analysis during O.J. Simpson's murder trial. "We were all watching the DNA evidence go down the toilet in the O.J. Simpson case, and we were determined that was not going to happen to us he said.

The short time spent standing in line for a pleasant registrar's office employee to sign you up for the classes you need. The cver-so friendly cashier's office staff to assist with every need. Never, ever having to run to four or five different places on campus to make a change in a senior summary. ; Now wake up. - The fact is many of our academic advisers give little advice. Many are guilty of handing a blank, yet signed registration form to students with no help at all. Many advisors can't tell a stu- dent where to go to have a problem fixed, or even worse send the student to the wrong place. As students, we understand the difficulty of being professors and advisors at this university The pressures of publishing, teaching and advising must be a heavy load at times. But since most professors have been in school longer than we have, shouldn't they be that much more sen- sitive to our needs as undergraduate and graduate students? Many students are frustrated when they sign up for an appointment to have a schedule Moved and stand in line to see their advisor to find out the classes are closed; the curriculum i changed; you shouldn't have taken that class last semester, you should have taken this other AMANDA ROSS Start! �IOf Patrick irklan pmoE�w cki.ksti Wilson NfcnwHmw CAROI.K MKHt.K ftMdCoftEdrW ANDY FARKAH SnDMuwmt problems students have are very real to us. Just as our professors and advisers' problems : to diem. And when students are having difficulty, our advisers are sometimes the only place i have to look for answers. They need to know them. Or at least be responsible enough to call lomeone to find out. An experience one of our staff members had was completing a senior summary. He needed to one change in the paperwork. This student went across campus twice and to the same Office twice to get this one problem worked out. j Vk just think it's ridiculous that our advisers and professors are not more knowledgeable pbout the bureaucracy a student faces at ECU. Are advisers not informed of how to give acade- Jmic advice? We're not just discussing looking on a sheet of paper and telling a student what rher classes he needs to graduate. We can accomplish this task on our own. We need our advisers to tell us where offices are 2 located that can help us when we need it. It doesn't matter if we need to find a transcript, finan- S cial aid information or even pay our fees; we need more knowledgeable advisers to help us. Most � advisers are also professors. They grade us on our proficiency in class and how prepared we are "when we take rests. What if the shoe was on the other foot? How many advisors would get an J� in ADVISING 101? i QUEST Is it possible to drink responsibly? Alcohol. Moat college students i St. Whether it be a beer or mixed prink, we enjoy the thought of joining u friends fer 6 run-filled night in mown ursenviiie. Yes, there are students who choose to drink. There is nothing wrong ith not drinking. However; there is i nothing wrong with drinking just long as we do it responsibly What does responsibly mean? Well, I'm not going to bore you with the lines. We all know the age limit I other similar issues. What needs to be addressed is how Aware we are of our surroundings after jjre just took that shot of tequila. Of urse, all we can think about at that ime is that queasy feeling we have in iir stomachs. That's when another i comes up and offers you anoth- er shot. Bo you take it? Most honest drinkers will say y'd take it; it's a free shot. But, did see that person buy that shot? If didn't, then you might not want take that shot. I don't care if that crson has been your best buddy all Itrough out the semester, you never know what a person may have put in ur drink. It could be laced with a i of drug that'll make you unaware : happens then? If you want to accept a drink from someone, make sure you go to the bar with them and that you watch the bar- tender make your drink. Makes you rhink twice about under-age drinking. Underage drinkers: how many times have you asked someone over 21 to get you a drink? Do you go to the bar with them while they order the drink? Of course not. So, how do you know that your Long Island Ice lea is fine? fcu don't. bu'rc taking a chance. Another problem pertains main- ly to men, though there arc a few arm- swinging females-fighting and drink- ing, ror some reason, some men want to fight when they've been drinking Blame it on the alcohol. Blame it on friends. Even blame it on women. Whatever the reason, they still look stupid. Everyone else wants to have fun. Then we get a couple of trouble-making 'He-Man' wannabes that try to start a rumble in a club with bouncers twice their size. Go figure. I don't know if they think they look cool, or they're trying to show off when they're yelling at each other. The point is they look stupid. It does- n't impress women when they fight. In fact, it turns us off. Ohl And for you ladies out there who fight in clubs, what gives? Maybe you should pursue a career in mud-wrestling where peo- ple actually want to see such crude behavior. You might even meet a guy there who finds your actions attrac- tive. Responsible drinkers also have a safe ride home after drinking. Whether it be their favorite cab driver or a ride home from a friend who works downtown, they find a safe way back. Some people are even lucky enough to live close to downtown. In that case, walking is the answer. Just make sure you do it in numbers. Use the system you learned in your kindergarten class, the buddy system. After all, there are other people out there who have also been drinking and they might not be the friendly type. Whatever you do, just don't drink and drive. Yes, we all know the statis- tics. However, when you're drinking, you don't realty think about them. All you think about is what you want. Well, the next time you're dunking of driving after you've had more than you should, or you're about to let a friend drive drunk, think about this: how much "fun" is worth ruining your life- not just your own, but maybe some- one else's? Get stopped once and your license goes out the window. I'm not suggesting that people should or shouldn't drink. What we have to realize is that alcohol con- sumption will continue. We need to teach those who consume to do so responsibly "Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol Steve Martin-actor comedian, 1996 1 M s� Graduating seniors should get free summer To the Editor, I am a graduating senior at East Carolina University. I am very upset about the recent news about stu- dents who are not in summer school or are graduating have to pay $60 to use the recreation center. We (the student body) paid for four years and have only used it for 3 months. When I say we, I mean the students who came to ECU in 1995 and earli- er. I was here along with many of my friends in 1993, and in our second semester at ECU we saw the plans for our new recreation center. The plan for the center was to be finished in the beginning of my junior year (1995), but ECU fell short of funds. So the student body tuition was raised to complete the $18,000,000 project that was fin- ished in January, 1997. Students that entered school in 19 and later did not contribute to that $18,000,000, but yet they can use the recreation center for four years almost for free. I feel ECU owes me, and every- body else who entered in 1993, another three free years of member- ship. OK, maybe not, how about a free summer to thank us for the dona- tions that were taken from us to build a recreation center for future students. RahhaGil Graduating Senior Biology Vandalism strikes Jones Hall lb the Editor, I am a victim of vandalism! Why is it that people at East Carolina University find it so hard to keep their little paws off of other peo- ples' property? What is she making a big fuss about, you may ask? Why is she so upset, she is not the only one that this has happened to. What's my story? Vfcll on Saturday, April 19,1997, I parked my 19 Dodge Neon in the front of Jones Hall. My mistake because on Sunday, April 20, I came bouncing down to my car to find a huge scratch from one side of my beautiful blue hood to the other. I was shocked and could not believe my eyes. This is not supposed to happen to people's property I don't know who the Tittle bandit was; I better never find out. I foil to understand the significance of their actions. 1 would rather think it was a drunken skunk walking back to their room after a long night downtown, than to think it was someone that I know, an enemy tc say the least. Whoever it was, 1 hope that you are happy now that the little urge in your arm, wrist and fingers has been satis- fied. Why don't you key your own car? I have no sympathy for ignorance, nor do I tolerate it. Do you think that I put too much pride into material things? Well, you are right. You are right, simply because of the fact that unlike many I had to work my bun off to get my .car last summer, it is one of my accomplishments; it is the reason why I work 20 hours a week. I work too hard for some stupid fool to come along and destroy my property Do you under- stand what I'm saying? My situation once again reminds ECU and anybody else that we need some kind of surveillance cameras monitoring our parking areas. Something has to be done about people who have male it their pan-time job to vandalize. Tamika Richardson Sophomore Thursday. April 24 The East Carolinian CD reviews Gray Gallery exhibits graduate work The Chemical Brothers Blue Dogs Dig Your Own Hole Blue Dogs John Davis STAFF WRITER .Alright everyone, get your dancing shoes on. Pull out the boogie clothes, get ready to tap the feet, shake the booty and dance 'til dawn. Most tech- no albums can get tedious, largely due to the fact that most are compilations of DJs spinning one style of beat. Sometimes those beats aren't all that interesting. The Chemical Brothers are interesting though, as their albums tend to pendulum through every type of beat imaginable. Dig Your Own Hale is no exception, gyrating wildly from hip-hop to jungle to trance during the course of the record. Quite a few people have compared this electronic music to disco, claim- ing that it will pass into the night and- become the laughing stock of '90s music. It's possible that most of the electronic music being churned out by money-hungry record labels will pass into musical obscurity, but it's hard to imagine a duo as good as the Chemical Brothers fading away like that. .Anything can happen, but The Chemical Brothers have succeeded in drawing techno to a new level of artistry and craft that will ensure qhem a mention in music history Besides, this album just plain r�cks, bumps, thumps, grooves, dives, slides, slams and jolts for 63 power- packed minutes. It is more like good Bootsy Collins than the Bee Gees. This isn't all neon and smoke like your average run-of-the-mill techno album. This is meaty stuff, and even if people don't dance to it in ten years, I'll still be throwing it in the CD player to play video games or write to. The album starts off slamming "Block Rockin' Beats" at you. The song is very hip-hop. with a butty woman testifying every few measures "Back with another one of those block rockin' beats The P-funk bass line, accented with an organic drum loop and wailing sirens, buzzsaw guitar squeaks and various other red-alert noises slams right up to "Dig Your Own Hole the title track that leans more to a jungle beat, pulsing with a post-pop bass hook. "Elektrobank" is a jeep jam, with pulsing, thudding Miami-style bass vibrating through the song, with a gui- tar loop in overdrive. An aggressive, muffled MC poses rhetorical ques- tions in between the behind-the- video-game beeps and squeals: "Who is this doin' this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funky?" Of course, we know the answer The Chemical Brothers. The track blends into the mellow trancey "Plku Riled with static, distortion and fuzz, the song relies on a very irregular beat accented by gpthic sounding strings and voices sampled to the point of unintelligibility.

MOTHERS "AGE 12 ANDY TURNER SENIOR WRITER School of Art graduate students will get their chance to show off their hard work next week when the Master's Thesis Exhibition opens at the Wellington B. Gray Art Gallery in the Jenkins Fine Art Center. The work of Cynthia Blamire, Jonathan Mugmon, Margaret Angell Shields Volney II and Linda Werthwein will be on display April 28 through May 23; the four students will be honored at a reception sched- uled to begin Monday night at 5 p.m. in the Gray An Gallery. Work showcased in this exhibition reflects the diversity among the four students. The artists come from dif- ferent age groups and different regions of the country, offering a plethora of varied perspectives. Blamire is a 1973 bachelor of fine arts graduate of the University of Florida in Gainesville. Specializing in sculptural ceramic art, she says her work reflects her urban roots. It takes a humorous look at popular culture. A graduate of the University of Central Florida, Mugmon received his B.FA in painting and drawing in 1995. His art reflects a deeper look at everyday objects. "Newness rises from repetition, it is the unfamiliar found in the midst of the most familiar sight he explained. Volney is a local. She graduated from ECU in 1983 with a bachelor of fine arts in environmental design. Her work shows her love for her home- town and the influence of her family. "My grandmother, Annie Shipp Shields, was a strong influence, guid- ing me to understand and appreciate the passion she had for preservation, as she worked diligently on saving the Judge William Gaston House located in New Bern Volney said. Werthwein, who has studied at Northern Illinois University, the University of Utah and the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, brings a spiri- tual perspective to her work. "From the quiet stirrings of begin- nings to the full culmination of life, my work is inspired by the presence of the living God and my life in the West Indies she explained. "On an environmental scale, semi-abstracr imagery features contemplation of a tranquil sea, moving to an ever increasing power, sun, rain, earth forming, foliage culminated in a blos- som This and all exhibitions and recep- tions at the gallery are free and open to the public. The Jenkins Fine An Center is located off of 5th Street and Jarvis Street. The gallery is open for viewing 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Saturday and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Beginning May 10 and throughout the summer, the gallery will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Friday.

HALLE SENIOR WRITER A few weeks ago, I wrote review of Blue Dogs' live album, Liveatthe Dock Street Theater, claiming that the band had a very unique style. I thought that although they did cover songs, they played very well. Yes, they're a cover band. A cover band who's front man is an identical match to Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish- just what we need. After listening to their new disc, simply called Bite Dogs, I heard noth- ing more than a mere interpretation of the live disc on a solid studio record. The songs are basically the same, then again they aren't. What I'm trying to figure out is just how these guys can pawn off any of these new discs. Sure, they're two years apart, but what has changed? What has grown? As I listen, I find an alter- native. The band has a good sound. It's just that their tootsy format doesn't fit in context with it's country lyrics. It's message is blurred; however, a vocal sound that mimics Tom Petty and Don Henley makes up for the loss. The band is composed of five members: Bobby Houck (lead vocals, acoustic, harmonica), Smilin' Hank Futch (electric upright bass, vocals), Greg Walker (drums and percussion), Jason Hawthorn (electric and acoustic guitars), and Jesse Thrower (percussion). They're from Charleston, S.C a place that is often heard of these days, especially for the roots sound. It's easy to hear how these guys fall in and out of place with the sound. They are Charleston's jigsaw puzzle. There aren't any songs on Blue Dogs worth going in depth over. Songs like "Maria" and "Hope She Rills In Love" will touch you. They will grab the inner most tight inside your soul and make today's rain, tomorrow's sunshine. Does that sound like too much? After listening further, the record proved to be an ample display of musicianship. I don't doubt that the live show these guys put on is amaz- ing. After all, look at the rating I gave them for their live disc. It was real. It was true. It captured the essence of the band. Unfortunately, the studio didn't do the same for the Blue Dogs- It took their life through channels, through digital processors, and some- where in the middle the sound was lost. You can find that sound again on Blue Dogs live record, Live at-the Dock Street Theater. It's an evening in itself. And its raw material allows the band to seem more human. Blue Dogs will be playing at Peasant's Cafe on Thursday, April 24th. Hopefully, for the band, the atmosphere will be intoxicating. scream aTfhe WALL There is mseUug more useless thou stream- ine at avail. It's just spittle anil bntis, brirh amispittle.

So pin hi another futile attempt to change the status quo ami Hsu to a �Stream at the Writ Get out and buy Texas tickets Dale Williamson Assistant Lifastyle Ed Class: Graanate St mint Major: rugii.h Hometown: Hrmlersaii, SC As everyone on campus should know by now, Little Texas and the Kentucky Headhunted, two popular musical acts that have earned national distinction, are coming to Minges Coliseum. Thi& is no small achievement, and we all owe thanks for the hard work accomplished by the ECU Student Union Popular Entertainment Committee, the group that constantly struggles to bring hot acts to our campus. This group was the force that signed A Tribe Called Quest, one of the most influential and talented rap acts around today, to play in Greenville. Unfortunately, that show fell through due to marry unforeseen problems. Now, the Kentucky Headhunters and Little Texas show has a problem of its own, but its one that can be solved by the ECU community. The show is this Friday, and so far only a lit- tle more than 500 tickets have been sold. The goal for the Entertainment Committee is to sell 4,700 tickets, and that's just to break even. J. Marshall, who works with the Entertainment Committee, assures that the show will go on no matter what. Still, I say things have got to improve, and the entire matter rests in the hands of the ECU student pop- ulation. The local music scene has generated a lot of press lately. There has been a big controversy concerning the lack of diversity within Greenville's musical choices. The Entertainment Committee is trying to do something about it, but it is getting no support from the student body. A Tribe Called Quest suffered lacking ticket sales, and now history is repeating itself. Just for your information, my fellow students, if enough tickets aren't sold, the bands don't take the loss; we do. The money will come out of the Entertainment Committee's pocket, which is money out of ECU's pocket, which is money out of the student's pocket. If the student population doesn't start to show interest in campus events like this (and when I say show interest, I mean actually participate in the events), then there will no longer be any events like this. Just a little over 500 tickets for tomorrow night's Little Texas (pictured above) show at Minges have been sold. Organizers rued to sell 4,700 tickets to break even. PHOTO COURTESY OF STUDENT UNION POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE I hate to say this, but college is very much like a business. If ECU can't at least break even with events like the Kentucky HeadhuntersLirtle Texas show, then ECU will-j simply stop putting money into it.

PAGE 9 T� Run Away Can't m Iran atonj Tapa it from a fritnd Buy itUitd Pay FuM Prica Our pathetic addict speaks out J.AV MYERS LIFESTYLE EDITOR I've been wanting to do this column for a while, but it always seemed to get pushed to the back burner. Since I've only got next Tuesday's paper left in my tenure at TEC, I figured I had to get it in today, if at all. I spend lots and lots and lots of time wasting time. I'm a professional at it. I wrote a little while ago about my addiction to American Movie Classics and Turner Classic Movies. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Let me allow you to Icam how pathetic my obsession with entertainment is. Try not to laugh too hard. My addictive personality is drawn to many facets of pop culture. They not only control my life, they drive me. If I didn't have my addictions to keep me going day to day, I'd probably end up being an extremely bored and angry person. (OK, maybe they're not that seriously in control of my life, but it sure seems that way.) Besides old movies, I'm addicted to TV crime drama shows like ABC's NYPD Blue and NBC's Law and Order and Homicide. So addicted that I watch the repeats of Law and Order that come on the A&E cable net- work everyday at 1 p.m 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. I've also begun catching up on Homicide with the repeats that are being shown on the Lifetime cable network at 11 p.m. every night. This puts me in a bind because Howard Stem's E! show and repeats of Star Trek: TheNextGenerationare on at 11 p.m too. I'm just glad noth- ing's on at the same time as The Simpsons. I don't know what I would do. I could probably manage something, since I've got two VCRs (one constantly on the fritz, one not). Because of the two VCR thing, I also spend mucho time bootlegging movies from local video stores - you know, tape-to-tape, supposedly "illegal" stuff. I'm fascinated by B-movies and I fill up tape after tape with sexploitation films, blaxploitation films, biker flicks, japanimation, spaghetti westerns, and so on, and so on. In order to weed through the massive amounts of junk and find the real B-movie gems, I refer constant- ly to Michael J. Weldon's pair of indescribably bizarre film books, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film (1983) and The Psychotronic Video Guide (19). These precious, precious documents of all that is weird in cinema today compose the bible for the true film fanatic. Weldon says that films are "Psychotronic" if, "(1) they can commonly be identified by their use of exploitation elements and their interest in humanity's lowest common denominators; (2) they are particu- SEE PATHETIC JAV.

The summer movie onslaught is coming for you Dale Williamson SSISTNT LIFESTYLE EDITOR � Vou can almost feel it in the air. There is a 'throbbing, a thickness, that is almost dis- comforting.

I'm not talking about a volcano, �although a volcano does play a central part.

Summer is the ! bloodiest moment in Hollywood's financial jyear. It is the time to make the big buck I and worry less about artistic integrity. And even if you don't see a single film this sum- ! mer, you can't escape this onslaught. W: 1 haven't even hit May yet. and promotions for summer films are all over the place - I magazines, TV theater chains, radio, bill- boards, you name it. Summer for the movie buff is like a buf- fet dinner at the local K&W While what you get may not exactly be gourmet entrees, you sure do get more than enough to fill you up. While independent films may have been the "in" thing last fall, such will not be the case once the temperature rises. Complex stories backed by intriguing characters, superior performances, believable dialogue and innovative direction will be pushed aside to make room for fast-paced action, explosive special effects and big-name stars. While big Hollywood films are not nec- essarily a bad thing (most of my favorite films happen to be "big" Hollywood films), much of what will be released this summer won't be worth a kernel of popcorn, let alone $6 for a single ticket. So, in a some- what biased effort, I will use my psychic powers and predict which summer films will be worth seeing and which should sim- ply be ignored. I mentioned volcanoes earlier, and iron- ically enough a volcano is the very thing that will ignite the summer competition. Volcano, slated to open this Friday, is the $90 million disaster film starring the master of witty banter. Tommy Lee Jones. While nat- ural disaster flicks such as Twister and Dante's Peak proved to be somewhat fun, enough is enough. Hollywood has milked this genre for all its worth, and now all flicks concerning volcanoes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, etc. should just die. Speaking of films that should die, I hope that lituman ami Robin is pronounced DOA and immediately spirals out of the theaters to video hell. Why is this film going to fail miserably, you ask? Let me count the ways: Arnold Schwarzenegger is Mr. Freeze, George Clooney is Batman, Joel Schumacher is directing, Tim Burton has absolutely nothing to do with the series any longer, and there are going to be at least seven key characters confined to a thin script that will do littie or no justice to any of them.

Stray Bullets and Sin City arc crime fiction in the very best sense of those ; words. Black and white, harsh and n, both titles cram more intensity. violence and sex into their pages than seems humanly possible. Leave it to Chance is what I think the penultimate comic book should be - exciting, engrossing, "fun, beautiful and clever. The artwork (by one of my favorites, Raul Smith) is eloquently sharp and clear. And the plotline (developed by Smith and writer James Robinson), involving the supernatural investiga- tions of a young female protagonist (a revolutionary lead character in today's male-hormone-driven comic market) named Chance Falconer, is com- pelling. It has the potential to be one of the greatest titles ever. Kurt Busiek's Astro City is an interesting take on the superhero genre, equal parts pop cultural study and homage. I buy some mainstream books, too. Superhero comics, like jazz and rap music, are a uniquely American art form, and I find it a shame that the medium is still thought of as "just for kids Besides comics, I also grab up sev- eral periodicals every month like CMJ Musk Monthly, MacAddict, Film Thrrat, Sri-Fi Universe and Cinescape. CMJ Musir Monthly is a music- lover's dream. Not only does it cover what's new and good in music (with recommended flicks, reads, 'zines, web , w,es and local town scenes to boot), there's also a free CD packed with good stuff every month. The HBcnthK CD has turned me on to some really great bands, and for that I am utterly grateful. One CD even had a previously unreleased V&n Morrison track on it as a promotion for a then to-be-released collection. The collec- tion never came out (Van's a wacky guy) and so the only place you can find that wonderful ditty of his is on that CD. All that for $5. Since I have a Mac computer at home, I couldn't ask for a better mag than MacAddict. It comes with a free CD every month, too.

Acerbic and often cruel, they cover everything indie, from directors to actors to new movies. It is THE source for new alti-film info. Sri-Fi Universe and Cinesiape both talk about what skiffy nerds want and need to know. Together they cover the Science Fiction and Fantasy gen- res to the nth degree. 'Nuff said about them. So, you would think that my schedule of nerd-dom was full. Well, you'd be wrong. I also collect action figures. Yes, plastic boy toys. It all began when I was nine years old and the firsr Star Wars figures came out. I now buy selected Star Trek, Star Wars, superhero and sci-fi action figures. I'm pretty picky, but I still spend too much on 'em. I've got boxes full of the stuff. Big spaceships, flying creatures, motorbikes, guys with swords - all these can be found in abundance around my house. It drives my wife nuts. If I wasn't so damn lovable and endearing (I don't want to think about that.) Where's my life heading? When will it all end? My guess is, it won't end. I'll keep on indulging my addictions.

Two popular comic characters will be restructured for live action entertainment when Spawn and Steel are both released to theaters across the nation. While both heroes are somewhat interest- ing within the comic genre, my money says that their film adapta- tions will make Batman and Robin look like The Godfather of spandex. And if that isn't bad enough for you. Isavr It To Reaver will grace the silver screen in August. Unless a visionary like Stanley Kubrick or Quentin Tarantino is helming this film. I don't have to say how lacking our friend the Beaver will be on the big screen. There will be shades of gray this summer. Several big films focusing on adventure and special effects could prove effective, but lackluster scripts could kill them. Lost World. the sequel to Jurassic Park, will more than likely thrill audiences because Steven Spielberg is once again directing his dinosaurs, but the story may be a carbon copy of the original film. Men In Rlaek will be powered by the star power of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith and the quirkiness of director Barry Sonnenfeld, but alien invasions may be becoming a tired concept. And Speed 2: Cruise Control benefits from not having Keanu Reeves, but the action this time take place on a cruise ship, which doesn't call for much more speeding. Those films that stand the best chance of actually being good all revolve around the talent involved. Air hone One has Harrison Ford back in action mode as he goes head to head with villain (jlity Oldman. With direction by Wolfgang Peterson ( The Line Of Fire) and a strong sup- porting cast, including (ilenn Close. Air hone One could be this summer's thinking person's action movie. i The Fifth Element has a story hid- den in secrecy (nobody seems to know exactly what this film is about), but the special effects simply look amazing. However, the big selling point of this film is the fact that it is directed by Luc Besson. the man who made The Professional, an action film with style and class.

I will finish off the list with hiae Off. the newest film by Hong Kong master filmmaker. John Woo. While Woo has mainlv focused his films on the action genre, this film, starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, looks to be a delving character study about a man obsessed with tracking down a killer.

BROTHERS continued from page 8 "Setting Sun which you've most likely heard if you've watched MTV once in the past six months, is up next, with its screaming alarms and extremely catchy drum and bass cen- terpiece. It's a great song to watch car commercials to, and features a vocal by Noel Gallagher of Oasis. It's the only song on the album with traditional lyrics. "It Doesn't Matter" follows with its stripped-down, almost housey beat that has been married to a decon- structed repetition of the song title and a methodical, mechanical bass drone. It sounds like HAL 9000 after Dave pulled all his memory tapes in ZOOt. "Don't Stop The Rock" is almost like Aphex Twin in its purely synthet- ic sound bank, like a Fisher Price toy gone berserk. It gets a bit trancey as well. It's one of the few songs on the album that doesn't undergo dynamic and radical transformations. It blends right into the brief and psychotic "Get Up On It Like This" which features some regal synthetic horn arrange- ments a la James Brown and some wild scratching. "Lost in The K-hole" sounds like what would happen if Brian Eno had been making beats for Grandmaster Flash. The beat is layered with ethe- real bell sounds and disembodied voic- es whispering half-phrases all in front of a Tinkerbell glitter-fuzz sound that oscillates from speaker to speaker. The song breaks down to almost noth- ing and then becomes "Where Do I Begin an ambient number built around an acoustic guitar sample. It features a pretty melody sung by Beth Orton. As she sings, more and more sounds are woven into the song until it becomes more lively, but still some- how manages to keep its low-key ambient feel. About three quarters of the way through the song it becomes lethingelse entirely and then fades to nothing. The album's last song is "The Private Psychedelic Reel" which again begins with an ambient feel to it, but slowly builds up into a rousing coda to the album. The song covers itself in inspirational guitar noodles, passing airplane sounds, Doctor Who effects, and even a moving clarinet m�Io. Ifway through the song, it too trans- s into something completely dif- rent but somehow the same, and then quickly returns to the ufipnul beat for a soaring finale that deserves fireworks and laser lights.

The men's basketball rules committee voted Tuesday to reinstate the 5-sec- ond count beginning new season. They said that, instead of enlivening offen- sive play, as intended, dropping the rule reduced shots and tended to make � games less exciting. � ?. "We don't announce vote totals, but I can tell you it was not close, said 'Larry Keating, committee chairman. . , . Under the rule, an offensive player may not dribble the ball more than five seconds if a defender is within six feet of him. The offensive player must shoot or pass or be called for a turnover. The concern has been that the flow of the game hasnt been as good and the game doesn't look as good Keating said. �TTie group felt pretty strongly this was one of the reasons why, Keating said. "By putting it back in, we hope to get teams more into an offensive flow rather than having one player dominate up front During a two-day meeting ending Tuesday, the committee also voted to require most preseason tournaments next year to use a 40-second shot clock, instead of a 35-second shot clock. , This will be mandatoryfbr most preseason tournaments that begin before Dec. 1, including the Maui Classic, the Great Alaska Shootout and :he presea- son NIT. Tracy Lausach SENIOR WRITER Senior Richie Creech marked the end of not only the 1997 season, but also his career as a golfer at ECU with a lot of pride, a lot of class and a first place individual victory at the CAA Championships. The tournament was hosted at the Lane Tree Golf Club last weekend. Creech said the key to overcoming several challenges he has faced in his college career was focusing on intense physical training and a tough mental attitude. "I decided that if ! was gonna do something great, now was the time to do it Creech said. A three-year member of Barton College's golf team, Creech came to ECU as a senior this year, determined to play at the Division I level. He was also interested in playing for a full time coach, something that Barton College lacked. "Playing at a Division I school has pushed my game to a level it never would have reached at Barton Creech said. Creech headed into the champi- onship looking for a win, but was a bit surprised when he actually found it. After day one, he stood in a tie for fifth place. Day two put a more confident and better focused player on the green, and by day three Creech saw himself as a contender for the victory for which he had worked so hard. He birdied the 18th hole to claim a one- stroke victory over Reg Millage of Virginia Commonwealth. "The morning before the tourna- ment, I wrote myself a note telling myself that I deserved to win Creech said. "In so many tourna- ments, I ended up second best, and I was determined to go out there and give it my all Head Coach Kevin Williams said that if anyone out there deserved to win, it was definitely Creech. "It was so exciting to see Richie pull it all together and play so well because he has made so many sacri- fices to play for ECU Williams said. "It was a very emotional win because all of us know how much Creech deserved it Overall, Creech is pleased with the team's success this season. He expects that Kevin Miller, the team's only rising senior, will step up to lead his teammates next year. In the future, the team will be focusing on maintaining consistency. "Everyone on the team stepped up and played great at different times during the season Creech said. "In golf, a little here and a little there can make a big difference Creech is looking forward to finish- ing school this summer, at which time he plans on looking back and evaluat- ing his career as an athlete. Regardless of what his future holds, he is sure he will always be involved somehow in the golf world. "Golf is about hard work and determination. You can't expect too much to happen too quickly because the key to success is patience Creech said. Patience, along with dedication and personal sacrifice are what have led Creech up the ladder of success. Victories that are well earned, such as this one, are what have made his efforts worthwhile. Martina Hingis has surgery for knee hurt in fail from horse ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - Martina Hingis, the world's No. 1 women's ten- nis ptayer, had arthroscopic surgery today to repair a knee injury suffered in a fall from a horse. She will be out at least three weeks, her mother said. "So far it is certain that Martina will have to miss Hamburg, Rome and Berlin said Mefanie Molitor, who abo is Hingis' coach. The German Tennis federation confirmed that Hingis had pulled out of the Hamburg tournament that starts April 28. It is possible that she also may have to miss the Rench Open from May 26 to June 8, Molitor said. Hingis was hurt as Steffi Graf, whom the Swiss 16-year-old dethroned as No. 1, was recovering from her own knee injury and planning a comeback, in the mid-May tournament in Berlin. Hingis' absence won't affect the standings immediately. She has a 771-point lead over Graf. The Blick reported that Hingis got up and laughed off her fall Monday from the horse, which belongs to a friend. But the next day she was unable to straighten her left leg. .� . Hingis was then examined by specialists near her home in Truebbach in eastern Switzerland on Tuesday. Today's arthroscopic surgery repaired a partly torn ligament, Molitor said, but she didn t disclose where the operation was performed or whether Hingis remained hospitalized. Last January, Hingis escaped injury when she fell from a horse in Australia before going on to win the Australian Open. Molitor has previously insisted that Hingis have as normal a life as possible and continue to enjoy her passions for horse jumping and roller blading in spite of any risk to her career. Owner takes second look at Raleigh area RALEIGH (AP) - Hartford Whalers owner Peter Karmanos says he may decide between Columbus, Ohio, and Raleigh as a new home for his team before Columbus residents vote on arena funding next month. Karmanos, who arrived in Raleigh Tuesday for three days of meetings to scout the area a second time, abo visited Raleigh two weeks ago. He was in Columbus earlier this week. Columbus voters will decide May 6 on a three-year, half-cent sale tax increase that would generate $192 million of the $277 million needed to build a sports complex with the arena and a soccer stadium. But Karmanos said the choice could come in advance of the vote. ! "Hopefully, we'll be abie to make the decision before he saimanews Conference in Raleigh. "The assumption is (the lefeteliduWfrisill pas WeH�y .to make an objective evaluation and make the decision at soon as possible Karmanos praised the people of the Raleigh-Durham area and the television market. But he also mentioned several links to Columbus. His wife's family is from a Columbus suburb. Karmanos' Compuware Co. has an office in Columbus. But the owner, who is leaving Hartford after failing to reach an acceptable deal on a new arena there, said he's not "trying to pit Raleigh against Columbus. We're just trying to see what deals the cities are offering and make our decision If the Whalers moved to North Carolina, the team could play at the Greensboro Coliseum until a new arena in Raleigh is completed. Karmanos told Columbus leaden he could transform an old McDonnell Douglas aircraft man- ufacturing plant into a temporary arena. Matchup of point guards will be key to Heat-Magic l: senes ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - There's nothing to debate as far as the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic are concerned. They will tell you the best all-around point guard in the Eastern Conference is named Hardaway. The only argument is whether it's Tim or Penny. "You're talking about two exceptional players Orlando coach Richie Adubato said. "Very different styles. But very, very effective Tim is Miami's 30-year-old floor leader, a three-time All-Star who has res- cued a career that was in decline because of injuries. At 25, Penny's one of the NBA's most popular young star a gifted big man who plays a little man's posi- tion. One likes to penetrate and break down defenses when he's not launching 3- pointers from the perimeter. The other uses his size to post up smaller defend- ers and can be caught most nights finishing moves to the basket with highlight- film dunks. � Hardaway vs. Hardaway figures to be one of the keys to the first-round play- ' off series between the Heat and Magic that begins Thursday night at Miami Arena.

HMTO COUHTiST Of ECU SIP TRCY LAUBACH SENIOR WRITER ECU'S men's and women's tennis season came to a close last weekend with the men garnishing a fourth place finish while the women finished fifth. The tournament was held in Norfolk. In a battle for third place, the Pirates faced the men from William & Mary. While ECU posted wins at the num- ber three and five single positions, the Tribe claimed vic- tory at the number four and six spots. The Pirate's number three singles player, Kenny Kirby, defeated W&M's Trevor Spracklin 6-1, 7-5. Brett Rowley, playing number five singles for ECU, came out on top 6-2, 7-5 over the Tribe's Steve Williams. In handing over a 4-2 victory to W&M, ECU closed out the season with a 14-11 overall record. The Pirates improved their final conference standings for the year, as they finished one notch better than they did in 19 at the tournament. Rowley, a junior from Ft. Lauderdale. said the season had its ups and downs, but overall, he is satisfied with the progress made by the team. At the tournament, we faced Virginia Commonwealth, ranked eighth in the nation, in the second round Rowley said. "If we would have had better seeding, we may have had a chance to play more teams and advance further in the race for a conference title Regardless, Rowley said, the team was looked at differ- d entry at this year's championship because the Pirates were stronger this season than they have been in the past. He expects that the experience gained this year will put an intense, compe itive team out on the court next year. "The team needs to be more combined, and learn to work better together, because we are such a young team Rowley said. "The longer we work together as a group, the . better our team chemistry will be , The women's tennis team made a strong conference . showing as well. Singles wins were posted by Anne Svae, Mona Eck, and Gina MacDonald at number one, three, and five respectively. At number one, Svae downed UNC Wilmington's Jill , Pertsch 6-1, 6-1, while the Seahawks' number three, , Wendy Kulp, handed a 6-2, 7-5 victory to Lady Pirate Eek. MacDonaid defeated Vara Hartley at the number five spot, 6-3 6-3. In doubles play, all three of ECU's teams came out on , top. Eek and Svae defeated Pulp and Pertsch (8-1), while , Cohen and Catherine Morgan edged out UNCWs Hartley and Kelly Knowles (8-3). The women posted a fifth place conference finish at the tournament after a 5-3 victory over the Seahawks. The . finish helped the Lady Pirates improve their record to a j final 15-11 for the season. Next year's teams will have a few seniors to lead the � path to victory, something the tennis crew lacked this year. More experience, along with dedication from talented ath- . letes from around the world will help the teams to domi- nate in the future. Freshman proves lightning fast at meet MIKE DANISKA SENIOR WRITER ECU's men's track and field team threw it into high gear chis past week- end at the CAA championships held at UNC-Wilmington. The team finished strong thanks in part to a strong show- ing by freshman standout Derrick Ingram. Ingram won the 200 meter sprint with a time of 21.20 and the 400 meter sprint with a time of 46.73. Ingram is also the anchor leg on the 4 x 100 meter and the second leg on the 4 x 400 meter relays "I knew that I had a chance to win the 200 and the 400 Ingram said. "There was a dude from Virginia Commonwealth who was pretty good, but we were all good. A lot our com- petition was between our own team- mates Both times were also personal bests for Ingram, who was named Athlete of the Meet. "Our goal was to see if we could win every sprint meet, the 100, 200 and 400 meter events Head Track Coach Bill Carson said. "I thought that Darrick could win the 200 and the 400, and he did While most attention in a sport like track finds itself aimed at individuals, team play is also important. "I felt very proud of myself after each event Ingram said. "But I was also happy for the team because the main goal was for the team's success Ingram hails from Lumberton. where he was selected as Southeastern Conference runner of the year in both 1995 and 1996. Ingram was heavily recruited by UNC, as well as other schools. "1 saw him as a junior and started recruiting him Carson said. "I worked as hard on him as anyone else One of the more difficult transi- tions to collegiate running is that everyone is fast. Part of Ingram's suc- cess in tackling the stronger competi- Darrick Ingram tion is derived from a hard work ethic "He works good Carson said. "As he gets more mature and stronger, he will be able to run a little faster. Right now, he is unable to workout as hard as say, senior Dwight Henry, but his workouts are good Ingram has continued to impress his veteran head coach all through the year. "He is the fastest freshman that I have ever had in the relay Carson said. "He could well be the as good an athlete as we have ever had So far the season has been going all right for Darrick and his teammates. The 4 x 400 relay team is ranked fifth in the nar oa and everyone is running good. "I at. doing better than I thought I would 'ngram said. "Also, just about everyone else's times are going down One of die next steps in Ingram's career will be the NCAA's held in Bloomington, Ind. Fellow freshman standout James Alexander will also make the journey. Coach Carson also plans to take Ingram to St. Louis in June for the Junior Nationals in June where he has a good chance of making the team. After college, Ingram is considering a pro career, as well as loftier but attainable goals. "First I want to try the Pro Track Ingram said. "But the Olympics are my ultimate goal ECU's coaching staff is right behind him. "As far as the Olympics go, he should be thinking as far ahead as he can Carson said. Swimmers look to continue success with new recruits AMANDA ROSS SIORTS EDITOR The swim season may be over, but Head Coach Rick Kobe is hard at work preparing for next year. This year the ECU women won their third consecutive CAA title this year, while the men came in third place at the CAA meet. Kobe was proud of his team and believes their success will continue into next season with the returning members and the new recruits. "This year was awesome Kobe said. "The girls finished 8-2, and the guys finished 9-1 and that's 17-3 and that's very, very strong We were real happy For Kobe and the women, winning another championship next season would put them atop of the CAA his- tory books. "The girls winning their third straight championship ties the record of James Madison in the mid 80's� they won three in a row Kobe said. "So if we can win four that would make us the most dominant team in the history of CAA swimming The recruiting process has brought five swimmers and two divers to ECU for the women, and they will help replace five seniors who will be leaving the cham- pionship team due to graduation. Kobe believes there will still be a strong nucleus of girls who can compete for another CAA title with the returning swimmers and the newcomers. "We're losing five girls and we'll have everyone else coming back including kids that didn't make the champi- onship team that could make it next year. The good news is that we have already signed five good girls and two divers, and we anticipate signing two more girls Of the seven women who have signed, only one hails from North Carolina, while others come from as far away as Texas and New York. The seven new girls signed are as follows: Samantha Perry, from Mclean, Va a junior national qualifier for the 100 arid 200 brcaststroke; Alicia Harris, one of the top breaststrokers in North Carolina from Marion; Tracey Ormand, a top distance freestyle The women's swim team won their third consecutive CAA title earlier this year and will look to another title next year with the incoming freshman class.

"We came from fifth to third and now we are going to work on making our way back up to the top Kobe says a third place finish shouldn't fool people. The men swam their hardest but were just beat out by depth. "They probably out swam every team there, without a doubt. We were the best swimming team. We did not have the depth to win. But the guys we had there were the best. But to win a championship meet, you have to have a lot of qual- ity depth and we weren't quite there yet ECl" records were broken by both teams. The women set seven varsity records and eight freshmen records and the men set two varsity records and one freshman record. (See chart below.) "It was truly a record breaking vear Kobe said. "Swimming has developed a reputation of always having a good team and next year will not be an exception.
