According to a recent survey, ECU students
believe more alcohol is being consumed than is
actually being reported.
The results of the survey show that 79 per-
cent of the respondents indicated shey
believed the average ECU student had con-
sumed beer on at least six out of the 30 days
immediately preceding the survey.
However, only 18 percent reported drink-

STAFF WRITER
ECU, along with other schools in the UNC-
systcm, has not been complying with Title K,
the 1972 law recently upheld by the Supreme
Court requiring equality between women's
and men's athletics.
This law states that schools must have
enough women's sports so that the percentage
of female athletes is proportional to the per-
centage of women in the overall campus pop-
ulation.
ECU is working on gender equity, accord-
ing to Henry Van Sam, associate athletic direc-
tor, and has been for several years.
"Wfc'vc been really serious about Title IX
gender equity VanSant said. Ail our signifi-
cant increases have gone towards women's
programs
Van Sant said the increases have primarily
in the past several years.
"When we started this, women were gross-
underfunded Van Sant said.
Ail North Carolina schools are working on
this same problem. The schools are having to
either add women's teams or cut men's teams
attain equity ECU added a women's soccer
in the 9495 school year, and hopes to
add another by the year 2000. They have not
had to cut any men's sports.
"We really have not cut anything other than
have not gotten the same increases that
n have Van Sant said. "We've been for-
tunate that we've been able to generate the
revenue, and we've simply applied it to
women's rather than men's sports
Historically, women's sports at ECU have
not been given the same priority as men's
sports?no athletic teams for women even
existed until 1969. However, Van Sant pointed
out that the same priorities have historically
been true all over the country
This is not an ECU problem, this is a
national problem Van Sant said.
One aspec of the larger issue is there are
not as many atnlctic opportunities for women
at the higf school level, thus female athletes
are not as well prepared to participate in
sports at the coiiege level.
"In the high schools, you have greater par-
ticipation in men's sports than in women's
Vkn Sant said.
Van Sant agreed this is indicative of the
state of women's athletics in general. Women's
athletics has begun to be taken more seriously
over the past decade or so, but the country as
a whole is still trying to build up women's pro-
grams.
Time is one of the answers to this fcn
Sant said.
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) is doing its part to
encourage compliance, according to Rosie
Thompson, who is the director of compliance
for NCAA rules. Last year they began to
require that gender equity studies be con-
ducted each year.

ing beer on six of the 30 days, and 51 percent
reported having consumed no beer during this
time.
"People generally overestimate the reality
said Donna Walsh, director of the Office of
Health Promotion and Weil-Being. "We tend
to generalize what is being done by saying
everyone's doing it but they're not
The survey was distributed tc 1200 under-
graduate students and 50 percent were com-
pleted and returned to Southern Illinois
University's Center for Alcohol and Other
Drug Studies survey.
According to Walsh, SIU has been adminis-
tering this survey to colleges across the coun-
try for approximately 10 years. SIU uses the
information retrieved each year to compare
campuses across the country.
ECU's responses did not differ from those
of colleges across the nation when compared to
responses made between 1992-1994. Of ECU
respondents, 83.4 percent reported having
consumed alcohol at least once during the past
year compared to 83.6 percent of students
nationally.
Walsh said she feels the results of the sur-
vey will hcip the reputation of ECU.
"It gives us an interesting position to
reframe what we mean Walsh said. "There
are a lot of people who come here because of
the sociable image and 1 don't think this is
necessarily wrong. But the sociable image does
not translate to the amount of alcohol con-
sumed. Partying means a lot of different things
to a lot of different people
"I think it's a challenge to reframe our con-
cept. I think we've been doing this on an ongo-
ing basis Walsh said.
"Now we have the stars to prove we're not
any different than anyone else Walsh said.
"In a sense we're more well-balanced because
we're stressing social as well as academic
development

University assists students with
medical coverage during summer

STU'K WRITF.R
Graduating seniors look forward to leaving
many things behind, like tests, homework and
professors; however, one thing they may not
have thought of leaving behind is medical
insurance.
The majority of students are being covered
by their parents' insurance, but many seniors
have not realized that once they graduate,
many, if not all, of the insurance companies
drop their coverage because they are no longer
considered a dependent.
This can lead to major problems if a gradu-
ate is injured or falls sick before they get a job
and their company insurance begins.
The ECU Alumni Association is now help-
ing students protect themselves during this
insurance "down time" between graduation
and employment by offering Short Term
Medial (STM) insurance.
"What we have here is an opportunity for
graduates to have insurance in the gap
berween college and a career said Donald
Leggett, associate vice chancellor for alumni
relations.
The Alumni Association is sending detailed
information about this insurance to all seniors
graduating this year.
This STM plan is unique in that it allows
you to choose your own effective date and to
purchase coverage for the exact number of
days you need to be covered, in most states as
few as 30 days to as many as 185 days.

A Maryland man was shot and killed near the
Cellar in downtown Greenville early Sunday
after an apparent dispute over a taxi.
Andrew Albert O'Donnell, 22, was shot at
208 E. 5th St. after an argument involving who
would take a cab that had pulled up, turned
violent. O'Donnell, from Churchton, Md was
pronounced dead on arrival at Pitt Co.
Memorial Hospital at around 3:00 a.m. Sunday
morning.
Also shot in the incident was Officer Tony
Smith of the Greenville Police Dept.
According to police officials. Smith was appar-
ently inadvertantly hit in the leg when the
shooting started while responding to the inci-
dent. He was also taken to Pitt Co. Memorial
Hospital, where he was treated and released
later that night.
Officer Smith is part
of the Greenville
Mice Depts down-
town bicycle patrol.
Glenn Doyle
Taylor, 31, was arrest-
ed at the scene of the
crime. Taylor, who is
from Las Vegas, is a
welder who was in
North Carolina on a
job. He has been
charged with first-
degree murder and
assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to
kill.
"There were six
.45 shell casings
found, so we know he
fired at least six
times, perhaps more.
He was shooting a Colt .45 Automatic, which
only holds seven or eight rounds said Lt.
K.M. Smeltzer of the Greenville Police Dept.
O'Donnell was visiting friends at ECU and
was on his way to Rirt Bragg to visit his broth-
er, who was scheduled to leave this weekend
for duty in Bosnia.
The argument apparently started when
both men went for a taxi. The argument then
became heated, and Taylor allegedly pulled
out a gun and started firing, killing O'Donnell
and injuring Smith.
.After Taylor's arrest it was also discovered
that federal authorities want him for proba-
tion violations as well.
"Tavlor has been wanred by the U.S.
Marshall Service since September of 1995 for
violating probation Smeltzer said.
Tiylor is currently on probation for various
weapon and drug charges.

Three men charged in joy ride across course slated
for PGA tournament
CARY, N.C. (AP) - An early-morning joy ride Sunday across the
Prestonwood Country Club golf course, the site of a PGA tournament in
May, left at least $50,000 worth of damaged putting greens and property
Police arrested three Camp Lejeune Marines and charged them with
felony larceny and damage to real property.
Casey William Hane, W, Michael Trentor Lucas, 18, and Jacob Edward
Stoulil, 22, were arrested after police cornered their Jeep Wrangler on a
deadend street.
Police say the three men damaged 25 putting greens and stole a ball
washer and 25 flags and pins.
An anonymous caller told police at 2:45 a.m. that someone was driving
on the golf course, Cary Patrolman Jim Conder said.
Man on trial for second-degree murder after accident
JACKSONVILLE (AP) - A habitual drunk driver who killed a Jacksonville
man in an accident last August faces second-degree murder charges at his
trial this week.
Jury selection was scheduled to begin Tuesday in Onslow County
Superior Court in the trial of Chauncey Marshbum, 37, of Spring Hope.
Marshbum crossed the center line on U.S. 17 in Onslow County and col-
lided with Vincent Richmond, 32, of Jacksonville on Aug. 20,1996.
Richmond died shortly after being transported to Onslow Memorial
Hospital the night of the crash. Marshbum was taken to the Camp Lejeune
Naval Hospital where he was treated and released. Marshburn's blood alco-
hol content registered .13 percent, according to a lab test. In North
Carolina, a person is presumed to be impaired if the level is 0.08 or higher.

Gays, lesbians set to fete coming out of TV's 'Ellen'
NEW YORK (AP) - The invitations are out and so, no doubt, arc a lot of the
revelers.
At least 30,000 invitations have been mailed around the country, and as
far away as Finland and Japan, urging people to "come out" in celebration
of Wednesday night's episode of "Ellen in which the title character
reveals she's a lesbian.
Among the festivities are a midnight costume party at the Cambridge,
Mass home of a Harvard theater student and a fund-raiser thrown by a
financial adviser in Manhattan.
While many gays and lesbians say the "coming out" episode is a mile-
stone in their efforts for equal rights, others bristle at the heavy promotion
and commercialism of the event.
San Franciscans have been spotted in T-shirts with the last name of the
ABC show's star, Ellen DcGeneres, crossed out and replaced with
"Ginsberg Pink-and-black bumper stickers in the Castro read "Ellen -
come out already
DcGeneres did iust that, of ismhuk, in pmminer n tzinc and tv

announces to her therapist she's attracted to women.

Witnesses take McVeigh jury on
virtual tour of bombed
federal building
DENVER (AP) - Witnesses in the
Oklahoma City bombing trial are
taking jurors on a virtual tour of life
at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building as they describe how an
ordinary morning became blood,
chaos and death.
They greeted co-workers,
dropped their kids off at day care
and sipped coffee at the start of
April 19,1995.
Michael Norfleet, then a recruit-
ing officer for the Marine Corps, had
stopped to speak to his commanding
officer when the bomb hit.
"I took a piece of glass from the
top of my head, and it flayed open
my right.eyc he testified Friday. "It
cut an artery in my forehead. It cut
an artery here in my cheek; and at
the same time, it cut an artery on my
wrist.
"I could feel the life ebb out of
my veins. I just knew that I was los-
ing strength and that if I stayed in
the building, that I would die
Norfleet said he followed a trail
of blood down the building's steps
and found help. Doctors later told
him he had lost 40 to 50 percent of
the blood in his body.
Norfleet was one of 126 survivors
and nine witnesses the prosecution
presented on the first day of day tes-
timony in the trial of Timothy
McVeigh, accused of killing 168 peo-
ple in the bombing.
Testimony was to resume
Monday when Danny Atchley, a fire
department photographer who
pulled injured children from the
rubble, goes back on rhe stand.
As witnesses testified, U.S.
Attorney Patrick Ryan had them
mark a floor plan of the nine-story
building with spots where their col-
leagues died.
Susan Hunt, who worked in the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development, ended her account by
reading the names of the 35 HUD
employees who died in the blast, her
voice sometimes shaking as she
added a brief description of each
person's job.
Her presentation contrasted
sharply with a longer list of bombing
victims read by defense attorney
Stephen Jones during his opening
statement. Jones mispronounced
several names during his dry recita-
tion, while Ms. Hunt's voice
betrayed her grief at the loss of col-
leagues and friends.
"It makes a mockery of what
Jones did said Andrew Cohen, a
Denver attorney who's following the
trial. "It makes it seem like a cheap
trick
Friday's most searing testimony
came from Helena Garrett, whose
16-month-old son, Tevin, died in
the building's day-care center. She
talked of dropping him off and turn-
ing to look at him through the floor-
to-ceiling windows as she walked
across the street to her office.
A few Tautes later, she was fran-
tically searching the rubble for
Tevin, anH recalled watching rescue
workers lay out a line of the bodies
of his schoolmates.
"A lady came, a nurse Ms.
Garrett said. "She started tagging
our babies; and right then I realized
they were dead
NCCU computer center transmits success
DURHAM (AP) - A new videocon-
ferencing and .computer network
system on line at North Carolina
Central University for about a
month is working better than
expected, the system's manager
said.
Wanda Mclver is in charge of the
state-of-the-art facility, recently
completed by NCCU and the N.C.
Research and Educational Network.
It occupies space on the third floor
of the James E. Shepard Library.
Aside from day-to-day offerings,
such as conference link ups, the cen-
ter recently won a state grant to
make it easier for registered nurses
to get their bachelor's degrees.
The center also had the chance
last week to transmit its first class
from NCCU across the state.
"We are getting more requests
than we anticipated, but we are also
happy with the person that we have
running our center said Marvin
Duncan, who oversees the center's
operations.
Duncan said he is in the process
of hiring a graduate student to assist
Mclver - and at least give her a break
during the day.
From NCCU's 28-seat teleclass-
room, N.C. State University's
Thovd Melton addressed communi-
ty college students in Faycttevillc,
Jamestown, Statesville and
Pembroke on the "Academic
Preparation Needed for Transition
into Biotechnology
Melton's presentation was a seg-
ment of a three-pan series that will
help minority community college
students transfer to a four-year col-
lege to study a science-related disci-
pline.
The major coup for NCCU, how-
ever, came when the UNC Board of
Governors gave NCCU permission
and suppon to develop a pilot pro-
gram that will use distance learning
to offer bachelor's degrees to Wake
County's registered nurses.
Registered nurses without bache-
lor's degrees remain the largest sin-
gle group of nurses practicing in the
state.

Community riled over teen's
sexual assault case
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. (AP)
Kevin Gillson and his 15-year-old
girlfriend found themselves in the
kind of trouble experienced by
thousands of teens ? she was preg-
nant.
The 18-year-old wanted to take
responsibility by marrying her, get-
ting a job and raising their child,
expected in early June.
But then police found out and
arrested Gillson on a charge of sexu-
al assault, which was later boosted to
sexual assault of a child. Since he
was convicted, he will have to regis-
ter as a sex offender and faces a sen-
tence ranging from probation to 40
years in prison.
One tearful juror said she
despised her vote to convict the
young man, but believed she had no
choice under Wisconsin law.
Despite assurances from
Gillson's girlfriend that the sex was
consensual, the longstanding law
says no one under the age of 16 can
consent to a sexual relationship.
Few of the 10,000 people in this
town 30 miles north of Milwaukee
side with the district attorney who
prosecuted Gillson.
"It's pathetic said Penni Fcezor,
32, serving burgers, chili and coffee
at a George Webb restaurant. "If he
had intentions of doing the right
thing, why put him in jail?"
"It takes two people to do it, and
he's not the only person who's got-
ten a 15-year-old pregnant, and I
don't think he deserves one year, let
alone 40 said Cheryl L. Huettl, 37,
as she enjoyed a beer at a local bar.
"There's not that many guys who
are willing to quit school to get a
good job to support their child
"I think it's got a lot of people
who are dating younger people
scared said 15-year-old Annette
Moe. "I still don't think you should
go to jail or get in trouble for it and I
don't think he should be known to
his neighbors as a sexual predator.
He didn't rape anybody
A juror said it wasn't that simple.
"We were led to believe that we
only had one choice, the way it was
presented to us said juror Holly
Sutinen, 39. "We had a copy of the
law, and they both said they did it
and that was our only choice
"My eyes were full of tears,
because it's all our kids sitting
there Sutinen said.
Ozaukee County District
Attorney Sandy Williams won't dis-
cuss specifics on the case, saying it
would be a violation of ethics.
But she said her office tried to
negotiate a pretrial resolution and
was told Gillson wanted to go to
trial. She would not disclose the
terms of any proposed deal.
"Docs it mean that because he
said he's sorry, we're supposed to
close our eyes to it?" asked Williams,
who is up for re-election in 1998.
Gillsonls lawyer, Doug Stansbury,
said the negotiations "didn't take us
to a point where there was an incen-
tive to settle the case before it went
to trial
He said they haven't yet dis-
cussed the possibility of an appeal of
the April 17 conviction.
The Gillson family does not want
to talk to reporters until after the
sentencing, he said, although
Gillson's mother talked earlier to the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"You know, the only thing that
hasn't let me down in all this is
God Sue Gillson told the newspa-
per. "I feel there is no God in the
system. I just don't trust the system
anymore
The piosecutor said she would
recommend a sentence that does
not include jail time. "I can tell you
that in cases like this, probation usu-
ally occurs, if the person usually
takes responsibility for his actions
and has minimal contact with the
criminal justice system Williams
said.
In the meantime, Gillson is free
on bail pending sentencing June 24,
but a condition of his bail is that he
not see his girlfriend.
Regardless of the sentence,
Gillson must register with police as

like Gillson, said state Sen. Alberta
Darling, who helped write the mea-

Thompson urging a review of sexual

would meet with her.
At least one juror has written a
letter to the judge, asking for a
lenient sentence. Sutinen and at
least one other say they plan to do
the same.
"This kid told the truth and he

Sutinen said. "Both of these kids
told the truth and now they're get-
ting blasted for it.

Ban on cigarette, liquor billboards upheld
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Supreme Court, in an apparent vic-
tory for President Clinton's pro-
posed crackdown on tobacco adver-
tising, today left intact Baltimore's
bans on billboard ads for cigarettes
and alcoholic bceraes.
The justices, without com-
ment, turned away arguments that
the city's twin bans on such ads
violate free-speech rights.
A federal judge in North
Carolina left that constitutional
question unanswered last week
when he ruled that existing federal
law doesn't allow the Food and
Drug Administration to restrict cig-
arette advertising and promotion.
But the judge also handed
tobacco companies a big setback in
ruling that the FDA can regulate
tobacco as a drug.
President Clinton said that part
of the judge's ruling on advertising
and promoting would be appealed.
The president has proposed for-
bidding cigarette brand advertising
at sports events, on T-shirts and
billboards within 1,000 feet of
schools and playgrounds, and in
magazines likely to be read by
teen-agers.
Opponents of the proposal con-
tend it runs afoul of a constitution-
ality test created by a 1980
Supreme Court ruling.
In it, the court said commercial
speech that is truthful and not mis-
leading may be limited only if gov-
ernment has a substantial interest,
the limitation directly advances
that interest and is no more exten-
sive than necessary.
The Baltimore dispute dates
back to a pair of 1994 ordinances
that forced the removal of cigarette
and alcoholic beverage ads from
most city billboards.
The ordinances were aimed at
reducing illegal underage drinking
and smoking.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals upheld the bans last year,
bur was ordered by the Supreme
I:ourt t r - its rulings in light
of the justices' decision last May
giving adertiscrs significantly
greater protection from government
regulation.
The trend of rulings by the
nation's highest court in recent
years is to give commercial speech
enhanced protections from govern-
ment regulation.
But after reconsidering each of
Baltimore's bans, the 4th Circuit
court again upheld both in August.
The appeals court said the bans
withstood the scrutiny required
under the Supreme Court's 1980
ruling, and that the May ruling did
not applv to the hillhmrd dispute.
The lower court added that
measures to protect children
deserve "special solicitude" by
courts.
"Baltimore's interest is to pro-
tect children who are not yet inde-
pendently able to assess the value
of the message presented the
appeals court said.

Three ways to
beat the high
cost of college.
1. The Montgomery Cl Ml
ft. Student lam repayment
t. mviinw income
The Army Reserve Alternate
Training Program is a smart way to
pay for college.
First, if you qualify, the Mont-
gomery G! Bill can provide you with
up to $7,124 for current college ex-
penses or approved votech training.
Second, if you have?or obtain?a
qualified student loan not in default,
you may get it paid off at the rate of
15 per year or $500, whichever is
greater, up to a maximum of $10,000.
Selected military skills can double that
maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time
money in college, and here's how it
works: One summer you take Basic
Training, and the next summer you
receive skill training at an Army
school. You'll earn over $1,500 for
Basic and even more for skill training.
Then you 11 attend monthly meetings
at an Army Reserve unit near your
college, usually one weekend a month
plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid
over $107 a weekend to start. It's
worth thinking about. Give us a call:

Whenever an election rears its ugly head, the public is constantly bombarded with one empty
wnise after another by desperate politicians. Well, to the joy and surprise of many, one car.di-
ce has stayed true to his word.
Scott Forbes, the newly elected SGA president, promised that, if elected, he would eliminate
the bill that stated a portion of student fees would go towards paying the tuition of SGA exec-
utives. Now that Forbes in securely in his office, he has already taken action.
The '97 SGA budget has been determined, and SGAs paid tuition is not part of the plan.
This is a small yet very significant act on the SGA's part. More than that, this is a very good
?tion as to what type of government we, the ECU student body, can expect from our newly
i officials. Forbes made a promise, and he stuck to it, and he did so with the student pop-
in mind.
'Members of the SGA listened to the students' complaints about the tuition bill. A majority
oftthe student population did not feel it was fair to have their money go towards paying for the
education of members of the SGA. While there has been controversy as to exactly how this bill
ws Initiated, the problem has been resolved thanks to swift action on the SGAs part,
'An elected body, no matter if its a student position or a professional one, exists to serve its
people.
We at TEC have heard the SGA situation being compared to student athletes, but we don't
fefel this to be a justified comparison. SGA and student athletes are two separate entities serv-
inte two different functions We all acknowledge the reality of student athletes getting free
rnney, but that is a necessary evil. ECU football brings a great deal of money and publicity into
campus, and many feel that the best athletes need to be reimbursed for their hard efforts.
Regardless of one's stance on student athletes, the executive members of SGA serve a dif-
ferent purpose. They are not entertainers performing for the mass populace. They are elected
ofJRcials whose sole purpose is to improve conditions en campus for the students. This is not a
sef-serving position where one gets reimbursed for hard work. You do the hard work because
you want to be active and make a difference in your community: Sadly, many elected officials
Jet this simple fact.
loweveT, Forbes and his colleagues are definitely off on the right foot. We at TEC applaud
newly elected SGA's take charge attitude and obvious concern for the changes the student
b$dy desired.
Good luck on your new job, gang. And don't lose sight of your purpose.

Students need Parking 101
i the Editor
don't we all just team how to
t? Everyone who is enrolled in
scfool here at East Carolina is always
complaining about the amount of
parking that is present. The students
are consistently asking for a parking
deck or expanded lots both of which
cost lots of money and are said to be
unrealistic solutions by the school.
In the immediate future we as
enrolled persons at this institution
will not have a solution to the parking,
so we need to make the best of what
we have. If the cars in the parking
Ion were parked like the drivers had a
little common sense, then a few more
can would have a place to rest. Way
too often I find myself walking to my
car, asking myself, "How much space
does one person possibly need to get
out of their car?" I suppose that this
is a question that goes better unan-
swered.
Another waste of parking space is
cars parked at an angle to prevent
from being hit. No one wants their
car hit, but no one else should suffer
because of a couple of paranoid stu-
dents who have parked in an illegal
manner.
Please use your best judgment to
park. If you park like an idiot or leave
your car in the middle of the driveway,
chances are you will get a ticket. I
know that getting a ticket makes a lot
of people mad and then they ask why,
but the simple truth is that they
deserved it. If you don't have the
sense not to park at an expired park-
ing meter or on the sidewalk then you
really don't even need to be driving.
There is no way that everyone will
park properly, and, if they did, there
would still be a problem with the
amount of parking space. The simple
fact remains that there is not enough
parking to accommodate everyone,
this is why we as the students, do not
need to complicate things with negli-
gent parking of our automobiles.

Freshmen deserve to park too
To the Editor;
I know everyone is probably sick of
hearing about ECU's parking prob-
lems, but I can't keep quiet about the
change in freshman parking tots any
longer. When returning to ECU after
Spring Break, I was really irritated to
discover that one of the freshman
parking lots was changed to residents.
I understand that the residents are
older and have a whole semester on
freshmen, but why do they need so
much parking?
What also bothers me is that there
are more freshmen living on campus
and therefore that means more fresh-
men cars. When I observed the new
"resident" parking lot, I have noticed
it has never been foil. As a matter of
fact, it is never even halfway filled.
The freshman parking lot is always
jam packed and now it's almost impos-
sible to get a spot. I know there is
another freshman parking, lot by col-
lege hill, but that one is also small and
always packed. I think the logical thing
to do would be to divide the second
parking lot in half, residentsfreshmen
or make it first come, first serve.
With ECU expanding every semes-
ter the parking problem will only
become worse. I think ECU needs to
sate that there is limited parking for
freshmen on the housing agreement.
This might discourage people from
bringing a car.

How 'bout a ride?
To the Editor,
?Have you ever been studying late
inKhe library only to find yourself
wfrnout a ride back up rhe hill? Or,
haVe you ever been visiting a friend on
a weeknight and stayed past 12 a.m
arid had no ride back across campus? I
know that more than once, I have
found myself in this predicament.
jfeCU provides excellent bus and
vajri service, but the hours do not
extend past 12 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday. Many campus computer
labs are open until 2 a.m. Residence
Hall visitation hours extend until that
same time. The library is open until
midnight as well F.CU transportation
stops at 12 a.m. on weeknights. How
are students supposed to safely get
back to their dorms?
Your suggestion may be to walk,
but as a female, I hesitate to walk
alone on campus in the wee hours of
the morning. Call me a chicken, but
I'd rather be a live chicken than a
dead duck.
More Tower' to determined dancer
To the Editor,
So often, rhe news is filled with
hate and violence, we think it is time
to share some positive news with the
ECU community. Jennifer Hayrtes is
a very special person. When she came
to ECU three years ago, she brought
with her a passion for dance. She
quickly came to realise, however, the
difficulty of finding a place to dance
when you have a. disability.
This challenge did not stop
Jennifer. In fact, she became more
determined than ever that she and
others with disabilities should have
an opportunity to share their talents.
With this in mind, Jennifer created
"Wheel Power a dance troupe for
people with and without disabilities.
This group has been Jennifer's pride
and joy since its inception in 1995.
She even had the name and logo
copyrighted.
We have seen many performances
in thearts, but nothing compares to
the beauty and passion of the
dancers on stage April 23rcL for those
who missed it, "Wheel Power" per-
formed as part of Disability
Awareness Wee, and it was agj
ordinary event.
We would just like to take a
moment to recognize and congradu-
late Jennifer and the other dancers
on a supreme performance. Without
Jennifer's determination and inspira-
tion, "Wheel Power" would not exist.

If I have a late night study session,
or even if I'm visiting a friend, I'd like
to know that I can have ECU trans-
porrarion rr get me safely home. My
suggestion is to extend the hours of

the week. I'm sure many current dri-
vers wouldn't mind the $12 per hour
they would get for driving past mid-
night couple of nights a week.

I Innocent Nixon
Welcome to
Nixonville
Derek T. Halle
SENIOR WIUTF.R
As a mix of art to gain in a political innuendo, Innocent Nixon provides the
sounds of the Beach Boys with a punk tip. Oh, don't forget the rock and roll
IVelrome to Nixonville is set up to match a certain theme, this one being poli-
tics. The group has songs like "Dirty Little Town "Young Republican , All
Day Sucker" and "World's Newest Profession They're songs that reflect the
image of Richard Nixon, a president that worked his way up from the bottom
only to find that the top was much more cruel.
As the album opens, vou'U catch the groove. It s very simplistic. There are
not many drum fills to excite you but the message is clear. Having two ladies
along to sing background vocals and play percussion is probably one of the most
exciting aspects of the band.
They keep their sound tight. This is good and bad. It s good because it
makes them easy to identify. It's a sound that you'll remember The bad thing
is that it doesn't leave the band much room for excitement. There s absolutely
no improv or signs of compatible musicianship. Sure, the sound could be mar-
keted and maybe a record deal waits in the future, but is it what you really want,
Innocen' Nixon? Are vou happy with your reflection of yesterday s hero, or is
the symbol of his presence subject to a mere mockery, leaving the world to won-
der of how much sarcasm was really put into the naming ot this band.
On the cover, there's a picture of a man, with a helmet, holding a donkey.
Nixon was a Republican, I might add. This proves more sarcasm for Nixon it
anything. The songs may not be sarcastic, but the image sure is.
As for the tunes, each one revolves around the rest. So, III just pick one to
write about today. Let's see! How about "Machine Gun the last song on the
record. It starts off with a simple guitar riff. A drum beat that definitely accom-
panies it follows as well. The lyrics are interesting, though: "Big, big, gun I got
me a machine gun Yeah, all right fellas. That's some exciting poetry for back-
ground singers to have fun with.
The record, as a whole, is adorable. I just can't get over the way that six guys
came together and accomplished one, great feat. How many six member bands
do you know of that sound like three people? Wow, that s amazing. The only
thing more exciting than that is the sarcasm. Dig in people!
You can see Innocent Nixon at Peasant's Cafe on Apnll7. Oh that was last
week I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll be able to catch them on the last leg of the world
tour. By the wav, their E-mail address is lnNixon@aol.com. If you write them
soon, they'll send you a real donkey courtesy of Innocent Nixon records. Isn t
that something? . ???. Kr
"Therefore I say to you today I most humbly resign. - Richard M. Nixon.

It may not be "politically correct" to
say so, but 1 am a big fan of country
music. Reba, Garth, Wynonna -1 love

and my car radio switches between

Allman Brothers Band, but really, that
didn't mean too much to me. I'd never
even heard of them. But Little Texas!
I couldn't wait to get my tickets,
because I was afraid they'd sell out.
Well ECU, you've disappointed
me. I don't think more than 600 peo-
ple bought tickets for this concert. I
hear people complaining all the time
that we never have any big bands play-
ing in our area, and now I know why.
The one time wc get one, no one
bothers to support them by buying
tickets.
All I can say is that it was your loss.
Anyone who attended this concert can
back me up - it was more than worth
it! I arrived early, because I wanted to
get a good seat. (Again, not a problem
- it wasn't like I was fighting a crowd).
When it was finally time to begin, the
entire audience got quiet and then
erupted into a cacophony of sound as
the Kentucky Headhunters took the
stage. They opened up with what
should be the official ECU theme
song, "The Party Zone By the end of
this song, I noticed one girl already
dancing. They followed it with one of
their signature songs, "Walk Softly on
this Heart of Mine to which every-
one sang along. The one drawback
were the lights. The reds and blues
were ok, but there were really annoy-
ing pulses of white and yellow light
that frankly hurt my eyes. But even
that didn't stop me from enjoying the
music. Everyone let out a yell when
they played their newest release,
"Sirigin' the Blues which sounded
even better live than it does on the
radio.
One thing I have to say about the
Kentucky Headhunters is that they

I've been criticized for my criticisms again and again
in the paper. All the torment I've created - for Jesus
bands, for Greenville's lackluster movie theaters (and
the crap they usually show) and for the lack of choice
in the downtown music scene - has been scrutinized
and thrown back in my face with equal, if not greater,
forcc- - . .
I've loved every minute of it. Thanks to everyone
who has written, called or otherwise contacted me
about what I've had to say in the paper. Criticism is
nothing (if it is actually anything at all) if it's not
heard. The fact that I've caused such controversy does
my heart good.
And despite what you may think of me, I do have
a good heart. My only purpose in writing for this paper
at all is to try and make things better.
I wrote badly of Jars of Clay because their music is
derivative and boring and I feel that people who buy
it are selling themselves short. There is much better
music out there for you to spend your hard-earned
dollars on than pop fluff wrapped in a blanket of
Christianity. . .
I criticize the local theaters and their choice ot
movies because I think they underestimate the film-
viewing populace of Greenville. The Emerald City is
growing by leaps and bounds both economically and
socially. Entertainment by default needs to grow at
the same rate. There's a reason for the amazing num-
ber of video rental stores that have sprung up in town
over the last few months. Those stores wouldn't be
able to all stav in business if Greenville residents
weren't interested in seeing a more interesting and
diverse movie selection. All I wanted to do with my
criticism was change the status quo and give a voice
for what people want.
Finally, my commentary on the downtown music
scene was also motivated by a need for more diversi-
ty. It was never intended to be an all-out attack on
local musicians and club owners. Rather, I wrote those
pieces as a shout out to those who believe, as I do, that
the downtown scene is lacking. I wanted them to get
off their collective butts and do something about it. It
has always been my belief that our local music scene
has potential, we just haven't reached it yet.
As harsh as I am with my criticisms, I do have some
praises for Greenville. I've made many good, and I
believe life-long, friendships here. As a retail clerk, a
newspaper editor, a teacher and a scholar, I've also
gained quite a bit of experience and had the chance to
work with some really great people.
And I can't forget that I wouldn't even have come
here if it wasn't for Andrea, my girlfriend and later my
wife. I began mv marriage in Greenville. My wife and
I moved into our first house togerher here. These for-
mative vears of our life together will be ones we will
never forget, and despite my often-stated dislike for
this town, it will always hoid a special place in my
heart for that very reason.
It's not like me to get this sentimental, but I felt
that I needed to share what is good about life here in
Greenville just once before I leave. I've haven't total-
lv hated my time here.
But there comes a time in every man s life when he
has to sav goodbye - a time when he must part from
the life he has known, and go on to something greater,
something better.
Well, screw it! You're not getting rid of me that eas-
ily! I'm not leaving! I will be here until the end of
time! My voice will not be silenced! Where's my lithi-
um5? Why are vou putting that jacket on me
White's not my color! No, the sleeves go the other way
around! What's with all the straps?? Ow, that hurts
PS. There's a new sheriff in town, and he ain't
gonna go easy on ya like 1 was. Ya better watch out,
he's an ornery ol' country punk, who'd put a boot up
your backside as quick as he'd spit on ya for looking at
Good luck, .Andy. I hope you can keep a good hold
on your sanity, like I did mine.
Buenos tardes, amigos.

SENIOR WRITER
I know where you were Friday night. You may
not want to admit it, but I know you were
watching. Stating at the tube, overcome by
memories, crying in your beer, finally you broke
down, "Damnit, I missed you, Duke boys
Those royal rednecks from Hazzard yee-
hawed back into prime time Fridav night with
the Dukes ofHaxzarel reunion on CBS. CBS tried
the same trick last year with a Dalas reunion.
But Cooter kicks the cornbread out of J.R. every
time.
The show has enjoyed a revival of sorts since
The Nashville Network began running reruns
last year. Supposedly, the Dukes of Hazwtl is
TNN's top rated show. I'm sure Club Dance has
to be a close second.
This was the first reunion of the cast since
the show went off the air in 1985. Nearly all of
the original cast appeared on the reunion.
However, rwn main characters were missing
Boss Hogg (Sorrel Booke) has gone to the big all-
you-can-eat buffet bar in the sky. Waylon
Jennings, who served as narrator for the show,
was a no-show. Wavlon. what the hell are you so
busy doing? The absence of Jennings led to a
godawful new theme song for the reunion sung
by Bo and Luke themselves. John Schneider and
Tom Wopat. "Just a good ol' boy, never meaning
no harm It's like a hymn, how could they get
rid of it? Sacrilege.
To properly enjoy the reunion and to rid your
mind of intelligent thoughts it was necessary to
consume large quantities of cheap, stank beer.
My beverage of choice was Stroh's Light, svhich
happened to be on special down at City Market.
To further enhance the experience, I also had to
down a bit of that mighty, mighty pleasin' corn
squeezins. My roommate's girlfriend drank wine
coolers. In turn, she com-
plained about how bad the
show sucked. What do you
expect? Wine coolers and
Duke don't mix. They don't
serve Bartyles and James at
the Boar's Nest, baby.
Because Boss Hogg bit it,
Roscoe (James Best) assumed
leadership of Hazzard. He was
now going by "Boss Roscoe"
and wearing epaulets and a
Boss Hogg inspired hat. Did
thev just have some spare cos-
tume parts laying around?
Why? Bo was a race car driver,
and good ol' hoy number 2.
Luke, served the Forestry
Department as a firefighter.
Cooter (Ben Jones) returned
to Hazzard from Congress. In
real life, Jones, a Georgia
native, was a senator. I he
future of our country in the
hands of Cooter. Makes you gets all misty and
patriotic, doesn't it? Daisy (Catherine Bach) was
studying for her Ph.D. at Duke University. She
paid her tuition bv providing special "services
to former Duke basketball players Christian
Laetner and Bobby Hurley as part of Duke's
"Bang em Blue" alumni program. That last
part's not true. Sounds good though, huh?
The plot of the reunion, lifted straight from
Masterpiece Theater, revolved around a woman
named Mama Jo, who wanted to build a theme
park over the Hazzard
County Swamp. For the
park to be built, Uncle
Jesse (Denver Pyle)
would have to give his
farm to make room for a
highway. The Duke boys
will have none of it. so
they challenge Mama Jo
to a moonshine stock car
race and bring the
General Lee out of
retirement. Hijinks
ensue, Daisy is kid-
napped. Mama Jo tries to
cheat, the Duke boys
prevail - same cheesv plot
structure as every Dukes of
Hazzard episode ever
made.
There was an even
cheesier subplot. Bertha
Jo, played by martial arts
mama Cynthia Rothrock,
wants to win the Tough "Person" contest, but
she doesn't want to have to fight her big, love
man Bubba. The romance between Daisy and
Bo and Luke Duke haven't changed their
clothes in ten years. PU!

Enos (Sonny Shroyer) is played up, leading to
them about to be married at the end ot the show.
Of course, it doesn't happen because Daisys
husband shows back up. So. Bubba and Bettha
Jo get married in their place. That Enos is a love
martvr, I tell vou. Speaking of banging em
"blue geez Enos, they are about to fall off by
now.
In retrospect, the reunion was awtui ana
rather depressing. Enos, Daisy, and Roscoe all
looked old enough to owe Jesus a quarter. Daisy
in fact, refrained from wearinganv "Daisy Duke
shorts. And I think we should all be thankful for
that. However, there were other instances of
minor characters being unnecessary scantily
clad. Bad taste is what the Dukes of HazzinlwM
built on. How else could have the phrase "slick-
er than deer guts on a doorknob" been used it it
were not fof bad taste? There was limited car
smashing, surprising considering during the
course of the show's seven-yeaf run. they went
through mote than 300 General Lee s
Disappointingly, no country music star showed
up at the end to plav at the Boar's Nest in order
ro nay off a speeding ticket. I guess chat s good.
Instead of Loretta Lynn, it would probably been
Billv Rav Cvrus, Satan Country- Star.
To sum it up, the show was delightfully
wretched. Bad is good sometimes. It certainly
fulfilled anv nostalgic cravings. I think I'm gpnna
go hunt down mv Dukes oj Hesuant lunchbnx. ()r
maybe I'll go put on some 1 )aisy Dukes, u eld mv
car'doors shut, and drive around town really fast.
I love it. 1 love it.

are certainly energetic. They honesrly
have a great time onstage. You'd think
they were playing to a house of 50.000
instead of a little more than 500, the
way they bounded across the stage
with spirit and vitality. They soon had
people dancing everywhere, which
made me think of an idea. Next time
we host a country band (and I hope
that despite the poor attendance we
do host another big name country
band) we should leave the center free
of chairs for line dancers and two-
steppers. After all, who can resist tap-
ping their feet to some great music?
One of the new songs they played,
from their just-released album
Stompin' Ground, is their first real shot
at a love ballad. They didn't say the
name, but my best guess is that it's
ailed "My Cowboy Best Let me tell
you, this one song is worth buying the
album for. It was absolutely breathtak-
ing.
After a few more songs, the band
left the stage, al! except the drummer.
He launched into a drum solo that was
incredible. I swear he needed at least
eight arms, but you never would have
missed them. Eventually he threw his
drumsticks into the audience (I'm
still jealous of the woman who caught
them) and used his hands like a bongo
drum. He must be a masochist,
because he was hitting those drums so
hard I'm surprised he didn't cry out in
pain. He ended the solo to a standing
ovation and hoots and hollers from
everywhere.
When the Kentucky Hcadhuntcrs
left the stage, there was an incredibly
long wait to see Little Texas. I under-
stand that they have to change the
instruments and all, but it was more
than 30 minutes. Still, it was worth it.
I noticed that many people came in
right after the Kentucky Headhunted
left the stage. I suppose they just
wanted to see Little Texas, but boy
did they miss an awesome opening
act.
Little Texas opened up with a clas-
sic, "Life Goes On I don't think a
person was left sitting; it was totally

awesome. The audience called out
lines right along with the band, and
at least 50 people rushed the stage. I
considered it, but at about the time
I'd made up my mind, security
stepped in and didn't let anyone else
past. They led into the ballad "Amy's
Back In Austin one of my favorites.
This one definitely benefitted from
live performance, if it could indeed
get any better. The band really knows
how to work an audience, especially
the female members.They sang
"Amy's Beck In Austin" as if it were
going out to each and every lady in
attendance.
Although I like the oldies, I just
have to talk about some of the new
songs they introduced at this concert.
One, a love song called "In the Line
Of Love just took my breath away.
The chorus goes, do what I do
Only for You I'd even lay down my
life Never ask why 'cause it's ail in
the line of love I thought I would
cry and vowed to buy the new album
the minute it comes out.
I don't want to say that the next
song got rhe most audience participa-
tion because if there's one thing
Lirtle Texas knows how to do, it's
work the audience. They had us
singing almost half of their songs for
them. But "There's A Rrst Time For
Everything" was a definite crowd
pleaser. Another favorite was a total
surprise. It turns out that during rhe
making of their latest album, they got
a call to record a song for Disney. The
song? "You Gotta Kiss The Girl" from
The Little Mermaid. And I'm certain
there wasn't a female in the audience
who didn't wish they would take
their own advice.
Several of their songs they worked
into medleys and only sang bits and
pieces. For example, they had a med-
ley version of "You and Forever and
Me "I'd Rather Miss You "My
Love is Ready For You and
"Southern Grace I really wish they
had sung the entire version of
"Southern Grace It's a phenomenal
song, and one of my favorites. The
concert ended with three block-
busters, "What Might Have Been
"God Blessed Texas and "Make
Love To Me Of course they did the
"fake leaving" thing that you get at
most concerts, and of course the
audience dove right into it, shouting
and screaming and stomping their
feet to bring the band back. If you ask
me, that's the sign of a good concert -
the ability to make the audience
scream for more.
Anyone who missed this concert
missed a great one. Both Little Texas
and the Kentucky I kadhuntcrs have
an amazing stage presence. They're
real pros who honestly enjoy their
work.
I would have paid much more
than the SIS in advance or even the
$25 at the door to see this concert. I
can only wish that more people felt
that way. A word of caution ECU, if
we don't start supporting the
Student Union, they're going to stop
supporting us. I personally wish to
thank the Student Union. I enjoyed
it, and I'll go again!

ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
Last week I predicted which films would be worth seeing
this summer and which ones should best be left for dead.
Now that the academic year is winding down, I invite you
to take your cinematic eye and look back.
I've seen more than my fair share of films this past aca-
demic year, both in the theater and on video. I've enjoyed
films that are destined to earn the status of being consid-
ered masterpiece classics, I've seen trash that should be
burned, and I've seen everything in between.
Despite my constant complaints about Greenville
severely lacking in cinematic choices, our local theaters
still managed to pull in some very worthwhile treats. The
closer Thanksgiving and Christmas approached, the more
appealing many of the films became.
Tom Hanks topped himself by writing and directing
J'hot Thing You Th, an innocent yet fun flick that chronicled
the rise and fall of a late '60s rock band known as The
Wbnders. But all was not so innocent at the box office,
largely thanks to a man known as Shakespeare. The con-
temporary updating of UWiam Shakrsprarr's Romro ci"Jiiirt
garnered mixed reactions, but it nonetheless proved that
cbttsk stories uin be t.iid with manv different visions. As
absurd as Romeo &Juirt may have been, it was a visual, in-
your-face thrill ride that featured impressive perfor-
mances by its loving leads. Leonardo DeCaprio and Claire
Danes.
Outstanding performances by some surprising talent
made several great films even better. Etna allowed
Madonna to show off her classic movie star looks and her
vocal abilities. Backing up Madonna both with physical
beauty and worthy lungs was .Antonio Banderas, who had
not been so good in a movie since he packed two guns at
his side in the over-the-top action feast, Desperado.
While The DeviTs Oscn was more of a disappointment
than a work of art, it was still powered by exemplary per-
formances from stars Harrison ford and Brad Pitt.
The shining star of the moment, however, turned out
to be the relatively unknown Billy Bob Thornton, who
wrote, directed and'starred in the Oscar-winning southern
gothic, SlingBlade. Aside from Thornton's remarkable per-
formance, this film was also an acting showcase for John
Ritter and Dwight Yoakam of all people.
But not every film released within the last year
demanded great acting in order to be great. Exhilarating
action was the necessary ingredient for films like Star lirk:
First Contort and Bruce Willis' hist Man Stamling. And
twisted humor made Tim Burton's Mars Attak a much
grander treat than huleprmlrme f)ay.
Several other notable films graced Greenville's silver
screens. Howard Stem bared his heart in the semi-autobi-
ographical film. Priviti t'rtt. Woody llarrelson and

Going back to Houston, Foreman plans
homecoming fight
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. (AP) - George Foreman wants to stay home next time.
The amazing 48-year-old heavyweight, who has made a second career out of
proving people wrong, says he wants his next fight to be in Houston, near his
Marshall, Texas, home.
Still glowing after Foreman's 12-round split decision over unbeaten and
untested Lou Savarese, his promoters said they hoped to sign an opponent to
fight in August, September or October, perhaps in the Astrodome.
No doubt Foreman will monitor the selection process. After all, he headed
into Saturday's fight with Savarese thinking the rangy 31-year-old would be
another cupcake. He wasn't.
Savarese, who was unbeaten in 36 fights, gave Foreman all he could handle
before 7,102 fans - including Joe DiMaggio and Roseanne, who sat separately at
ringside - at Convention Hall.
Foreman pulled out his 76th victory in 80 fights by winning the last five
rounds on the cards of judges Barbara Perez and Shafeeq Rashada on the
strength of left jabs and hooks.
"If the judges said he won, he won Savarese said.
Jordan scores 55 as Bulls go up 2-0
(AP)-People have called his team vulnerable. People have said the MVP resides
elsewhere. People have convinced themselves that this year will be different.
How dare they.
Michael Jordan proved again Sunday that his era is far from ovec The great-
est basketball player in the world scored 55 points, including 20 of his team's
23 in the fourth quarter, to lead the defending champion Chicago Bulls to a
109-104 victory over the Washington Bullets for a 2-0 lead in their best-of-5
scries.
"I got into that zone and I couldn't get out Jordan said. "I just felt com-
pelled to stay in that mode
It was a good thing he did, too, because the rest of the Bulls weren't doing
much. Scottie Pippcn managed just three points in the second half. Dennis
Rodman grabbed just eight rebounds. Toni Kukoc scored six points and Steve
Kerr had just two. And nobody seemed able to stop Chris Webber, Juwan
Howard and Calbert Cheaney on the defensive end.
But just as he has done so many times in his career, Jordan carried the team.
"M.J. is M.J Chicago's Ron Harper said. "We allow him to do his thing. If
he wants to take over a game, there is nothing Scottie can say or (coach) Phil
(Jackson) can say to stop it
Said Jordan: "That's my job. That's what I get paid the big bucks for. I want
to win. I want to win another championship
Elsewhere Sunday, the Lakers and Heat went ahead 2-0 in their series and
he Sorties and Pistons bounced back with victories that tied their series 1-1.
The Lakers defeated Portland 107-93, Miami trounced Orlando 104-87,
Seattle crushed Phoenix 122-78 and Detroit topped Atlanta 93-80.
Team concept works to end Team Penske drought
NAZARETH, Pa. (AP) - Its middle name is Team.
And that's the concept Marlboro learn Penske clung to through the dark-
ness of a 20-racc losing streak.
"We worked hard all last year, all winter Paul Tracy said Sunday after win-
ning the Bosch Grand Prix to end the longest drought since Roger Penske
formed the team 28 years ago.
That's how old Tracy is, and how long his personal losing streak would have
been had he lived down to the expectations of his critics. Instead, he held off
defending champion Michael Andretti in a magnificent late-race battle.
"This is one of the greatest races of my life Tracy said.
In defeat, Andretti could have said the same thing and not been challenged.
He just ran out of laps. And he was unlucky.
"I definitely think we had the best car out there Andretti said. "I just did-
n't have enough time to get him
Parker Johnstone hit Raul Boesel and spun to the wall, where he was T-
boned by Richie Heam. That brought out the final of 10 yellow flags, aborting
the last three laps of the Tracy-Andrctti duel.
"I must have done 10,000 laps here in practice Tracy said of the Penske-
owned Nazareth Speedway. "But that was with no traffic and no Michael

Early Derby longshots: Celtic Warrior's in; D. Wayne
Lukas out
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - There are two longshots at the Kentucky Derby
already this week. One is Celtic Wfcrrior by his presence; the other is D. Wfcync
Lukas by his absence.
Celtic Warrior hasn't won in four starts this year, beaten a total of 37 34
lengths. Trainer Danny Hutt figures by Saturday's Derby his horse will go off
"about 100-1, but I'll be betting on him
In Lukas' case, the odds are looking shorter by the minute. The trainer was
lobbying to get his champion filly Sharp Cat out of Friday's Kentucky Oaks and
Into the Derby to avoid being left without a Derby starter for the first time
since 1980.
"I'm training for the Oaks at this point Lukas, who has won seven of the
last eight Triple Crown races, said Sunday. "If I owned her, I would run her in
the "Derby. I really think the prince would like to go in the Derby
So fer, owner Prince Ahmed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia hasn't changed his
mind about running in the Oaks, following the advice of racing manager Dick
Mulhall. But Lukas, who has run a record 31 horses in the Derby, meets with
the owner late today or Tuesday in a final effort to change the game plan.
While Sharp Cat put herself in Derby contention with four straight victories
against fillies before finishing sixth against the boys in the Santa Anita Derby,
Celtic Warrior seems an unlikely Derby starter.
His last victory was on Nov. 1 - in a 6 12-furlong allowance race at Churchill
Downs. Since then, he's been second in the Kentucky Jockey Club, ninth in the
San Vicente, eighth in the San Rafael, sixth in the Louisiana Derby and fourth
in the Blue Grass.

The CAA Baseball tournament is
approaching fast as the regular season
winds down. The Pirates wrapped up
a three-game series against confer-
ence foe James Madison by taking two
of three. The Pirates slipped by in the
first game 7-6, but squandered a four
run lead in the second and lost 6-5.
The team rebounded in the third
game and pounded out a 16-6 victory.
The Pirates can now look forward to
being seeded anywhere from fourth to
sixth.
"We knocked ourselves out of third
place Saturday Head Coach Gary
Overton said.
The weekend series upped the
Pirates' record to 24-25 overall and 10-
11 in CAA play. The overall play this
weekend was a bit indicative of how
the season was played out early on.
"We have been up and down this
season, but we have played some fine
baseball in our past four games
Overton said. "We have settled on a
lineup that appears to be pretty
good
Despite the less than thrilling
record, the Pirates are a much more
improved team than last year's squad
that finished 22-25.

were no patsies Overton said. "We
have faced some really tough pitchers,

Softball team heads into CMs
seeded first

SENIOR WRITER
What better way to end an incredible
season than a conference title and a
ticket to the NCAA Championships?
No better way exists, and that is why
the ECU Softball team has placed the
Big South Conference tournament at
the heart of their season.
Heading into the tournament,
scheduled to be held this weekend,
the Lady Pirates are seeded number
one. According to Head Coach Tracey
Kee, any of the top six teams have a
chance to c)aim a conference victory.
"Everyone comes to the tourna-
ment 0-0 because at this point in the
season, what was done earlier doesn't
matter Kee said. "We won't be tak-
ing anyone lightly because so many
teams have proven how talented they
are
Because ECU is seeded number
one, they will have a bye in round one
of the battle. The number four seed
will take on the number five seed
(unknown at this point), with the
winner advancing on to round two to
become ECU's first mission.
"We have seen all of our oppo-
nents, we know their tendencies, and
we are doing our best to prepare for
them Kee said.
The girls are focusing most of their
final practice time on offense and
touching up their mechanics. With a
team that has been cut down to 14
girls, some positive adjustments have
been made as each Lady Pirate is get-
ting a maximum amnunr of swings ar
bat.
The team's ultimate goal, to qual-
ify' for the NCAA Championships,
may very well be a reality within their
grasp. The winner of the conference
title gets an automatic entry into the
tournament, which will lie held in
Oklahoma just one week afrer confer-
ence.
In the meantime, the girls will be
finishing up the last of their practices
and competing proudly as contenders
for the title they have been compet-
ing for all season.
At the season's official ending, the
Lady Pirate team will bid farewell to
five of its valuable members, each of
whom have contributed tremendous-
ly to the program. Dana Hulings,
Tonya Oxendine, Rhonda Rost,
Sharon Strickland and Amy Swain will
be tossing their bats and gloves aside,
as each will be graduating.
Catcher Hulings will graduate
with a degree in elementary educa-
tion. A three-time letterwinner from
Corry, Pa she stands at second place
on the all-time home run list for
ECU.
Oxendine, from Winston-Salem,
played in the outfield for the Pirates.
Known for her leadership qualities,
she will be graduating with a degree
in exercise and sports science.
Rost, graduating with a degree in
business, ranks second on ECU's all-
time home run list. A three-time let-
terwinner from Richmond, she has
earned numerous honors throughout
her career, including the 1995 Round
Robin Golden Cove Award. Rost is
known as an excellent defender and
played third base.
Strickland, posred at shortstop,
opened the season as the top return-
ing hitter from the 1996 season, as
she ranked in the top 10 in eight of
ECU's career batting categories. .An
exercise and sports science major
from Chesapeake, Va she was select-
ed to several ail-tournament teams.
Swain, named ECU's 1995 Most
Improved Player, will graduate with a
degree in social work. From
Kernersville. she is known for her
speed and depth in the outfield.
Each senior on the team will be

Nobilo wins playoff with Faxon gSQPgSS hair d8Sl8nS
GREENSBORO (AP) - Frank
Nobilo has won golf tournaments all
around the world, but America had
been anything but the land of
opportunity for him this season.
The .year-old New Zealander
decided, lite so many foreign play-
ers in the '90s, that the United
States was the place to take his
game to the next level.
Nobilo didn't count on back
problems and a circulatory condition
that led to arthritic-like symptoms
in both arms for the better part of
the last 10 months, sending him to
doctor after doctor and into a deep
golfing slump.
But Nobilo put all his ailments
aside Sunday during a miserable day
for golf when he birdied six of his
final 11 holes and made a scram-
bling par on the first playoff hole of
the Greater Greensboro Chrysler
Classic to beat Brad Faxon.
"Given the nature of what has
happened to me the last six or seven
months, and the state of mind, this
is the one I'll probably always
remember said Nobilo. "When you
become uncompetitive for a length
of time you really miss it and you
want it to come back.
"To come through this week and
in this weather, I think this will go
to the top of the tree
Nobilo, who started the day five
shots off the lead, tied Faxon at 14-
under-par 274 through 72 holes,
forcing the fourth playoff in the last
10 years at a sopping wet Forest
Oaks Country Club course.
"It hasn't sunk in Nobilo said of
his first PGA Tour win. "I knew last
year it was difficult coming to
America, nothing seemed to be easy.
But I was determined I wanted to
play here because I thought my best
golf was ahead of me.
"A lot of other players have done
it. I lite playing around the world
but some of the tournaments here
have very strong fields and if you
want to improve your game you have
to play against the best. I stuck with
it, so it mates me the happiest guy
in the world today
The rain was pelting down on
the pair, temperatures stood in the
low 50s and No. 18 was close to
unplayable for the first sudden-
death playoff hole. Faxon appeared
to have the edge when Nobilo - who
had to wait 45 minutes for Faxon to
finish - drove into the left rough off
the tee and could advance his sec-
ond shot only within 75 yards of the
green.
But Faxon, now 1-5 in playoffs,
caught a bad break when his
approach shot landed in a section of
the green that would constitute a
putt through the fringe. Faxon chose
to take a drop in the light rough
under the clean and place rules
being used in the inclement weath-
er. He then chipped toward the hole
instead of putting. But his third
shot sailed 12 feet past the hole and
he missed the putt.
"I would like to play (the hole)
again but I don't think I want to go
out there again Faxon said.
Nobilo hit his third shot within 8
feet and drilled his par-saving putt
to claim the win and the $342,000
check that went with it.
"I panicked Nobilo said when
asked what his reaction was when
he found out there would be a play-
off. "Sometimes you do silly things
with your mind - if you feel there is
going to be a playoff then there isn't.
I was trying all those sorts of tricks.
When there was 10 or 15 minutes to
go I just said. 'Well, you better
accept the inevitable
Nobilo is considered a tour rook-
ie despite winning eight events
around the world over the last 12
years. He caught Faxon with a final-
round 67 as Faxon could manage just
a 72. Faxon had gone 45 holes with-
out a bogey, but bogcyed two of his
final five holes of regulation, forcing
the playoff in the virtual monsoon.
"That was as hard of conditions
that we've had to play in a long
time Faxon said of the weather.
"The last five holes we couldn't find
places to drop, there was casual
water everywhere. It was really
hard
Kirk Triplett finished in third
place at 13 under, one shot behind
Faxon and Nobilo.

While gaining in rheir long race for
equality in college sports, women
arc still at least 10 years away from
pulling even with men, the head of
the NCAA said Monday.
According to a new NCAA study,
women's programs made gains in
several areas between 1992 and
1996, including expenditures,
coaches' salaries and scholarship
money. But not as much as NCAA
officials expected.
"After seeing the results, we are
somewhat disappointed said
Cedric Dcmpsey, the NCAA's exec-
utive director and an outspoken
advocate of increased funding for

women.
In the some 300 major athletic
schools of Division I, women regis-
tered an increase of 6 percent in
total participation while men
declined nearly 10 percent.
"If you take (that growth rate)
and try to run it out, it would take
about 10 or 12 years before we
reach equity Dempsey said. "The
results do not reflect the type of
progress we thought we were mak-
ing toward the gender equity issue.
In particular, we were disappointed
in terms of the participation
increase
The survey showed that in
1996. Division I schools had an
average of 225.6 male athletes and
129.6 femaie - a women's increase
of 18 per school from 1992, the last
year surveyed. Much of rhe dis-
crepancy is due to football, which
women do not play.
In Division II schools, the aver-
age number of female athletes rose
from 79 to 80. It remained
unchanged in Division HI at 116.
While women's participation
showed an overall increase, the
number of men declined an aver-
age of 24 in Division I. But
Dempsey said this did not neces-
sarily indicate schools are dropping
men's sports to try to comply with
Title K, federal law banning sex
discrimination in education.
"I haven't seen large numbers
dropping programs Dempsey said
in a conference call. "There may
be some capping (of men's pro-
grams)
The survey found that while
operating expenses from 1992
grew by 89 percent for women's
programs, men's operating expens-
es grew by 139 percent.
"An overall concern I have is the
total cost of increases not only from
the women's side, but the men's
side as well Dempsey said.
"That's a significant increase in
the cost of operation of programs.
We have had two significant cost-
reducrion studies and a great deal
of legislation presented in the last
decade. With ail those changes, it
hasn't had a tremendous impact on
the rising cost of intercollegiate
athletics. It mav be something we
need to reassess

Mercury @
the Gateway Conference and head
of the NCAA committee on
women's athletics, said escalating
expenses in college sports can off-
set gains by women.
"It's important to note any
progress as good news she said.
"However, it is disheartening to
know after 25 years of Title K, we
still are making only slow progress
in women's athletics
The NCAA does not have rules
governing the commitment schools
must make to women's athletics,
leaving that up to conferences and
individual institutions.
Last week, the Supreme Court
refused to hear an appeal by Brown
University in a Title IX case. The
court declined to free Brown of rul-
ings that it discriminated against
female athletes.
"The decision not to hear the
Brown case could inspire institu-
tions to work toward compliance at
a faster rate said Janet Justus,
director of the NCAA's education
outreach program. "There may
have been some schools that were
wondering what the status of the
law will be. I think this will clarify
