WEDNESDAY JULY 16, 1997 Carolinian EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA N.C. bucket may mean tuition hikes University officials committed to keeping costs low despite new projects AM A IDA A 1ST IS s T V F F WKITFR si I DENT out, VNIZ VTlnss As the summer drags on, the House and Senate have not been able to come to jn agreement on revenue availability, making this session the second longest and the most expensive in N.C state history- and delaying decisions on tuition increases for the I'NC-system. Conferees have been chosen and discussions on the education system have just begun to take place. The budget increases and reductions will affect the UNC-School System, including ECU. In the House budget there has been a proposal made to increase in-state tuition by three percent. ()ut-of-state tuition would not be affected by this increase. "The General Administration, the Hoard of Governors and the administra- tion of this university are all committed to holding dow n tuition as much as pos- sible said Richard Eakin, Chancellor of ECU. Eakin added that. "It is stated in the constitution of our states that higher education should be provided at the most practical ot costs. The Student Government Association (SGA) has not yet declared where thev stand in terms of a possible tuition increase. At this time the SGA is still trying to establish where they sit with it. "Students have an inordinate amount of expenses being in college. dditional expenses do nothing to enhance the education process said SGA Vice 'resident. Sean Mcmanus. "Our effort is to see no tuition increase for anyone- period said Dr. Emmett Floyd, School of Education. A fact that is not well known to students in the UNC system is that North (Carolina has one of lowest prices of tuition, if not the lowest. There are a number of positive aspects to be brought to ECU in terms of the budget. ECU Administration has planned several capital projects scheduled to take place in the coming years. "In term- of the General ssembh there are three projects that are before them for consideration said F.akin. The first project, which is already underway, is the completion of the expansion of Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium. This is a $7 million project to add 8,000 seats to the stadium, bringing seating capacity to 43,000. The second project is a 52 million continua- tion of the planning department in the Science and Technology building. The third project in front of the General .Assembly is a $500,000 project to explore the capability of a third floor for the Rivers Building. "for a long time it has been said that was a part of the original plan said Eakin. There are more projects the university is plan- ning that have not been brought before the General Assembly. There has been a proposal brought in front ot the Board of Trustees to expand and improve the Student Health Services. I his expansion should make Student Health Services more functional. SEE BUDGET.

Although the center could essentially be help- ful toanv athlete, so far all of the athletes have been solely runners in track events. 'The purpose of the center is to bring ath- letes from developing countries to the facility, and put them through a series of tests in order to test different aspects of how they run. how economical thev are. how well they can toler- ate certain conditions said (Catherine Stephens, an intern at the IHPC, "and then we give them specific suggestions on how they can take that information and improve The IHPC's program focuses more on the science behind the sport than the actual ath- letic technique. "Could we improve a basketball players free throw? No. But we can tell him or her how to improve their aerobic ability, how to improve their power output and their body composition said Stephens. Dr. l.erov T Walker, a former Olympic track coach and former chairman of the I S. Olympic Committee, was the man who found- ed the only international human performance center in the world, right here in Greenville. "He is a world renowned coach, and he has coached more medal winning Olympic ath- letes than any other said Stephens. "It was his dream to start a facility like this. Dr. Walker had always had the idea of the IHPC in mind but had never followed through until just recently The idea behind the center is to be able to prov ide state-of-the-art technology and up-to- date methods of analysis that can bring an ath- lete of a less developed country to the same level as the wealthier countries. The center is brand new and has been in operation for the first time this summer. The facility was proposed last fall, and then Dr. Walker and his associates went to Caneun to propose it to the Association oi National (Mympic (lommittees. The rest is history. So far the center has had visitors come from such countries as the Congo. Cameroon. Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Kenya, Argentina, the Virgin Islands and Aruba. Olympic coaches come to the center as well, and even administrators of each coun- try's Olympic teams are admitted to come and observe. So far approximately 30 athletes have visited the IHPC. The current group is from Aruba. "The main goal, really, is to keep the coaches involved, because the coaches are an integral part of the whole training process and thev are the ones that make the all the deci- sions on what the athlete is going to do said Stephens. "They come along with the ath- letes, some of them actually go through the tests themselves, and then we go over all the results with them Each group of athletes spend a rota! of two weeks at the center, one week involves physi- cal testing and the other incorporates the learning seminars. One day of testing for an athlete can be grueling. They start at 6:30 AM and can go until 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon. Some tests include running in hot and humid conditions. or running at maximum speeds, while other tests analyze bio-mechanics, body composi- tion, power output and muscle fiber type. The seminars go over athletic issues such as sports psychology, nutrition and injurv pre- vention. The intent is that the coaches take this knowledge home to their other athletes and distribute and apply that knowledge. Stephens expressed that the center hopes that they will be able to reevaluatc the ath- letes in the fall. Ms. Stephens has had the pleasure ro see mans Orvmpic athletes come and go. ATHLETES.

The dining facility would be located wherethe amphitheater now sits between Clement Hall and Fletcher Hall. A project that is being planned at this time is thc complete renovation of jarvis Residence Hall in 1998. This will preserve the building as you see it today and will allow us to have central air conditioning said Eakin. The tile roof on Jarvis will also be restored, giving the building a modern and contemporary look. A project that is already in progress behind the Allied Health Sciences Building, the intramural fields are being expanded and further developed said Eakin. "After thc completion of the intra- mural fields, we will construct a large parking lot on the north side of the sta- dium said Eakin. Thc parking lot will have dual usage. On game days the lot will be used for game parking, but during the week the lot will be used for student parking. Parking classification of the lot is unknown at this time. "We have long term plans to make the shuttle service even better than it is today said Eakin. In addition to all the improvements on campus there is a proposal for a one percent reduction for all academic sup- port areas on campus. Chancellor Eakin is extremely opti- mistic about thc University receiving the potential $3.1 million in funding. "Typically anything that is in both versions of the bill will find itself in the final version said Eakin.

Spangler offered advice to Broad, his successor, encouraging her W woift toward bettering the entire state through her new posi- ton. Spangler stressed that the gen- eral assembly acts as our bankers, and that without a good economy they cannot act favorably towards the UNC system; "(She should hope for a good economy in North Carolina Spangler said. "This is North Carolina's time at bat Spangler said he did not antici- pate significant changes in the sys- tem after Broad takes over. "Ms. Broad has sensitivities Spangler said. "She understands the importance of students and faculty. I am very confident that she will be an excellent presidentshe wants to do the job Spangler said that when he took the job in the mid 1980's he did not have prior qualifications which specifically suited him for the posi- tion. Deeming; his presidency a "unique experience he said he is looking forward to retirement. While Spangler docs not have defi- nite plans yet, he knows he will always remember his position as UNC-system president as worth- while and "the best job in North Carolina "It's really been fun. You know you're working for something mean- ingful Spangler said.

She hayseenannthretedoa max- imum running test ad run fester than thc treadmill would allow The 14 mph treadrhitl, used for the max- imum speed running test, has since been replaced by a Track Master that can go up to 23 miles per hour. Another certain athlete amazed her as well. "There was one girt that came through the last time. She was 14 years old and she could already run as fast as the people who ran in the � finals in her event at the Olympics Stephens also commented on what it was like to work with people from other countries. "So far the athletes have been English speaking, some of them spoke English better than others However there were some lan- guage barriers when it came down to explaining proper procedures of cer- tain tests. "I remember spending 30 to 45 minutes on a test that would nor- mally only take a couple of minutes, because the procedure was hard to communicate sometimes said Stephens. "But it was a lot of fun because it gave me a chance to actu- ally talk to the people and get to know them better Should there be athletes in the future who do not speak English, there are plans to have translators available. The university is providing a number of services for the athletes to make them feel more at home. "They live over in Umstead, and it's almost like a hotel said Stephens. "Someone makes up their beds every day and brings them new towels, and they have a little goody bag for them with sham- poo and toothpaste, etc They are also provided meals at Todd Dining Hall and a personal shuttle bus takes them from place to place. As for activities for the athletes, there are a few activities planned for them, and of course they are allowed to go out after a hard days work. The group from Arulia has been here for the last week, and has had the pleasure of visiting both Wilmington and Busch Gardens to pass the extra time away during the past weekend. While in Wilmington, thc two atlilc: competed in a � r j and placed 6th and 7th out ot �M partic- ipants. The visitors from Aruba are delighted to be able to participate in the program, and they arc enjoying their stay so far. "You people have something in your smile, the way you are treating us, and they told me, 'it's the people of the south said Peter Simon an percentage point higher, this in turn only allowed for a two-tenths percent raise increase for continu- ing professors. "Economy wide, wages have increased modestly but thc general picture for faculty is not very good, both in relative terms compared to other professions and just looking at today's data Dr. Bell said. The AAUP reported that the average salary of a professor at East Carolina was $62,000. This includes thc medical school, which is only a small percentage of the fac- ulty. The average salary for the medical school is 1191,405. This is in comparison with the School of Arts and Sciences whose average salary is $44,604. The range in salary is at a high with The School of Business, whose departmental salary is $60,065, and the low with Health Science Library at $26,977. "Averages are dangerous because they falsify information and make it appear that the professors of any three ranks make a higher saiary than they really do. The statistics can be falsely portrayed if the School of Business and Medicine is averaged in. If you want to get a clearer picture of average salaries, keep the different schools separate. Try to avoid a false picture said Dr. Stephen Dock, an associate profes- sor of foreign languages. Differences in salaries were found to be due to the status of the college, location, department and gender. Private comprehensive uni- versities earned on average $4,000 more than public comprehensive universities such as East Carolina. Along with the discrepancies in salary between departmental aver- ages, there is also a 5.5 percent pay gap between men and women at the full-professor level. "Small but persistent differ- ences in male and female pay with- in rank Dr. Bell wrote in Academe. Women professors at ECU are $2,815 below thc faculty salary average of $59,865. Olympic coach from Aruba, as he laughed. "V feel comfortable here, i fed tike I am home When asked about the language barriers, he said there weren't too many problems with communica- tion, just a few word misunderstand- ings here and there. He noted that their stay so far has already polished up their English. Simon is eager to implement �Aha he has learned and will learn from the program. "The test results from the ath- letes gives us an' idea of what pro- gram we should use for them Simon explained. "Thc plan is to come back in November to sec the improvement Simon currently trains many ath- letes in Aruba, starting from ages 7 I on up. Richard Rodriguez and Alvin Ras, the two athletes currently in attendance, will start training with him when they return to Aruba. "These two arc the best athletes in Aruba said Simon. Both athletes have run in races around the world, including the Boston Marathon, the Washington Marathon and the South American championship races. Simon explained why he actually participated in the tests himself. "I take everything I leam here and bring it to the people of Aruba. I have the experience, so I can tell them and I can show them, With . this, I can help all these athletes make their dreams come true Although Simon will not have all the equipment that is provided at the IHPC, he explained that more traditional methods can be substi- tuted for the technology used here, such as measuring heart rates with a stop watch as opposed to EKG's, or measuring body composition with skin folds measurements as opposed to underwater weighing. But for Aruba's best athletes, such as Rodriguez and Ras, their training is considered more serious- ly- "If you see how many people arc working here, how much time it takes for the athletes, and I say; OK, am I going to be able to do all of this in Aruba for Alvin Ras? The best thing to do for the top athletesl is to pay for the tickets for them to come all the way to the USA We should look for these up and coming athletes in the Olympics at Sidney, in the year 2000. As for the future of the IHPC. they arc looking at expansion of their facilities. "This lab is very small for the magnitude of people that will be coming through.

While it's good to be con- cerned about faculty wages, we need to look at wages for graduate teaching assistants as well. Some GTA's make about one-tenth of the AAUP's $44,000 average for an ECU pro- fessor in the college of Arts and Sciences. Not only are GTA's a cheap form of labor for the departments on campus, they allow departments flexibility, they allow faculty to teach courses they really want to teach and they allow faculty members to have time and assistance for research. GTA's, in many departments, teach most of the entry-level classes. Some students' only contact with a department is through the GTA employed to teach them. Graduate students, for the most part, have to work their way through without help from Mom and Dad or financial aid loans - loans some don't want to take because of the ten years of loan payback they face for undergraduate studies. TECs own editorial board has four members who are graduate students and graduate assistants, forced to work as a GA and for TEC, ail the while carrying a full load of class- es and struggling to make ends meet. Because the salary for an assistantship is low, GTA's often find themselves without some luxuries that are taken for granted, luxuries they could get if they chose not to be in graduate school - like health insurance, retirement benefits and the ability to actually save money. A good chunk of their money goes right back from where it came: the uni- versity. Many graduate students have had to quit pursuing their degree to get a job with benefits so they can support the family they started. While on-campus health facilities are available to a GTA, if an ailment requires off-campus treatment, they are put into a financial bind. Graduate assistants, though part-time, are university employees, representatives of the university. On average, a GTA is paid for working 20 hours a week, even though much more than 20 hours may go into the job. Having a graduate assistantship, though, means more than a way to finance graduate school. It is a way for graduate students to make themselves marketable and to gain invaluable experience, such as teaching a class or editing a journal. The low salary and absence of benefits, however, makes it impossible for some to afford working for experi- ence rather than for benefits. Experience can be more valuable than benefits and money, Jbut experience doesn't pay fOr health care costs, required texts or tuition. GTA's deserve to be rewarded in some way for a job well done for the department they represent and the university they attend. OPINION Mary WEBB lumnist Book markups cost students lots of dough Markups for some used books can reach as high as 33 percent in accordance with the publishers price list, and a new book usually has aflat markup rate of 25 percent. Florescent yellow, pink and green hi-lighted passages assaulted my eyes. In the margins, cartoon fig- ures with mischievious smiles and wild hair jostled for place. Tiny squiggles masquerading as hand written notes were dashed here and there. My friends and I were looking at a used book at ECU's student store. With much trepidation, I took my book (and nothing else) to the counter and pulled open my wallet, expecting to pay around $25.00 to $30.00. "That will be $45.00 please said the cashier. "What? It's a used book ! protested weak- ly. She gave me such a look of sym- pathy that I hurriedly paid, grabbed my backpack and fled to a solitary location. There I extracted the book and looked at it. A previous price tag (which someone had tried unsuc- cessfully to blacken out with a mark- er) proclaimed the price as $42.25. Huh? I was confused. It seemed that I had just paid more for my used book than the person who had bought it before me. Every semester hundreds of stu- dents search UBE and our own stu- dent store for the best value in used books. We have to deal with the fact that professors change the textbooks frequently, although the course numbers and names stay the same. I'm sure there is a ready explanation for this practice. So, very frequently, the 'free book' that your good friend passes on to you becomes pretty much useless. Another rip off (and folks - this is only my opinion) are lab books! They cost anywhere from $25 to $40 and are non-refundable and non- resaleable. Once you buy a lab hook, you're stuck with it. How many of these things do we actually use? Personally speaking, I've had three courses requiring a lab book and not once has ic been absolutely impera- tive to use any one of them. Please remember we're students. If it's left up to us to complete our lab books, you know it's not going to happen if a grade is not involved. That's plain old common sense. Anyway, 1 went to see (Catherine Bumey, textbook manager for ECU's student store. She explained the long procedures that are involved in textbook pricing. For example, used books are sold at half the current new book price issued by the pub- lishers. The key phrase here is the "publisher's list She circulates a "wanted list" among six different companies for used books as well. New books are bought only when these companies fail to come through with used ones. Markups for some used books can reach as high as 33 in accordance with the publishers price list, and a new book usually has a flat markup rate of 25. Burrtey emphasized that UBE is a privately owned book store whereas the university student store is prac- tically self-generating. The student store also gives money back to the students in the form of scholarships. Now that you have all of this information, here is another piece of advice: sell your books as soon as it is feasible. Last semester, a friend of mine sold her Comm. Law book for 540.00 at UBE on the morning of our final exams. After the exam, I rushed to UBE where they offered me $16.00 for the same book. Apparently they were now over- stocked. So, know the system- play to win. "Spitwads are not free speech Bart Simpson, cartoon character. 1996 OPINION ; Jeff BERGMAN Columnist Big Brother may be reading your email The Open Records Act was supposed to allow the public to have access to governmental information .not designed for the university to have access to student e-mail. Imagine you sent mail from your workplace to a good friend com- plaining about your boss. Imagine your boss got a hold of said letter, opened it and read your mail. Wait just a second, opening mail not addressed to you is in violation of federal law. What if that mail was e-mail, what then? The Electronic Communication Privacy Act, passed by Congress in 1986, basically outlaws the inter- ception or disclosure of electronic mail by anyone not a party to the communication. Well, no problem you say. I sent the mail to my friend, my boss is not part of the communication. How wrong you would be. The law allows for the owner of a system, the boss, to inspect mail as a "necessary incident to the ren- dition nf his service to the prnrec- tion of the rights or property of the provider of that service In basic language the law translates to sys- tems administrators being allowed to inspect the contents of messages if it is a necessary part of their job. Unless your employer gives you privacy rights, you have none. Michael Smythe learned this lesson the hard way. Smythe had a few choice words to say about company managers. He typed a message and sent his mail to his boss via elec- tronic mail. The e-mail was inter- cepted by his employer, Pillsbury. Even though Pillsbury had told employees e-mail was private, Smythe was fired. Smythe brought suit and the case was dismissed without a trial. Vies, business's have the right to make sure employees are not send- ing Out corporate secrets. However, the rights of the business to protect corporate assets should not infringe upon the rights of the individual. Perhaps you think Big Brother only exists in a book. Perhaps you are wrong. Take Oklahoma State University for an example. OSU reserves the right "to inspect elec- tronic mail usage by any person at any time without prior notice as deemed necessary to protect busi- ness-related concerns of the University to the full extent not expressly prohibited by applicable statutes The policy simply means OSU considers e-mail to be public records. The bending and twisting that required in rhis srance srems from Oklahoma's Open Records Act (ORA). The ORA was designed to make state official's records impossible to hide from the public. The law was designed to he an electronic version of the Freedom of Information Act. The ORA was supposed to allow the public to hove access to govern- mental information. The law was not designed for the government, i.e. the university, to have access to student e-mail. OSU has contorted and mangled the law to fit their own agenda. E-mail should not be held differ- ent from regular mail. E-mail should be treated the same as regu- lar mail handled by the United States Postal Service. Only under court order should e-mail become opened. With more and more people pre- ferring the use of electronic mail in place of the postal service, the rights of the individual must be pro- tected. Remember, privacy rights are not taken away in a short period of time. Rather the rights are taken away at a snail's pace, with each movement condemning us. OPINION William S: COCHRAN Columnist GTA's ask ECU: Show me the money How is this university going to grow and gain a better reputation unless it prides itself on bringing the best students and graduate teachers to Greenville? There's some truth to the old adage, "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you Well, in the case of East Carolina University's treatment of graduate teacher assistants, it seems the university must want to be treated rather poorly. I mean, everyone knows that col- lege is a business; you pay upwards of S5.000 dollars a year for four years to get a diploma, which helps insure your chance of getting a good paying job after graduation. You pay your money. You go to class. Hopefully, you study and learn. Some of us even have ambitions that goes beyond the classroom. Perhaps you study material not required by classes to further your mind: Baudrillard, Poincare, or Sophocles. Maybe you subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, Time, National Geographic or The New Yorker. Maybe you've done an internship or worked through coop- erative education. The point being, you give of yourself to this school, this institu- tion and this fine university. You are dedicated to the improvement of your understanding of the world you live in, ;� id certainly you'd like to think that the university is reciprocal in this relationship. No doubt ECU gives you something back: chiefly knowledge, confidence, maturation. adulthood and a finer tuned mind to understand and enrich life. Perhaps I am being a hit idealis- tic, but I believe these are some of the principles upon which this great university was founded. Why is it then that the university is so Spartan with its allocation of salary and benefits for the GTAs and professors in general? I don't want to make this sound negative but come on, $2,400 a semester with no med- ical, dental or insurance benefits. That amounts to about $1.80hour if I put in the needed forty hours a week to best serve the students I'd be teaching. When the administration is this cheap with its teachers, how is it going to attract better graduate stu- dents and better professors? In essence, how is this university going to grow and gain a better reputation in the highly competitive intercolle- giate system that is America unless it prides itself on bringing the best stu- dents and graduate teachers to Greenville? My father graduated from ECU, played football for the Pirates back in the early sixties. My dedication is unwavering, but this fall as an ECU alumni and graduate student pon- dering whether I want to teach two Freshman comp courses for the mea- ger salary they offer, I have to ask, "What is East Carolina University- doing for me?" I'd like to think thut the adminis- ttation has enough foresight and pride to help thost hat are helping them, lb allocate a better balance of pay and benefits for its employees can not help but profit the universi- ty in the long run. Straight up, I love this school, the students, the prof's and the admin- istration. I consider them a part of my family, but with the truly cheap treatment I would get as a GTA I am beginning to feel more like the Abel of the brothers Cain and Abel. in rim I ii ir in r ��� �� II yrr-ii -jgfc The East Carolinian review mOViereview The Headnecks Plutonium Chickenshack Contact touches the unknown 2 OUT OF 10 Dale Williamson SF.NIOR WKITF.K 9 OUT OF 10 Pat reid MSISTANT MFEJTYt.lt RDITO South Carolina has always been a substantial phcc 'or an up and coming band to get their start, ears ago, Spartansburg, 9C gave the .nusk world the Marshall Tucker Band, and in recent years, bands like Hootk & the Blowfish, Cravin' Melon and Edwin McCain have all helped put South Carolina on the musical map. But don't look for the Headnecks to join this group of bands from down South that have "made it In fact, if you're smart, you won't really look for the Headnecks at all. The band's independent release, Pktonkm Chickenshact, starts out with a seeming- ly promising song. "Cornbrcad, Rolls, or Mixed" starts off with an intro slightly remi- niscent of Quiet Riot's "Bang Your Head but soon gets into a catchy little guitar groove that rocks. Unfortunately, the words start soon after that and take the Headnecks to new lows in music. The opening line of the song goes, "Rice and gravy, mashed potatoes, baby limes, sliced tomatoes, macaroni, sweet peas, candied yams, big ol' beets All the verses of the song are nothing more than menu items shout- ed out in rhythm to the musk. The chorus isn't much better as it simply celebrates country food "served by southern chicks Not exactly deep, but it does provide a good laugh die first few times you listen to it. "SRS starts out with heavily distorted bass and guitar laying down the foundation for a punk, funk mix that fortunately drowns out most of the words. The Words arc there, just not easily understandable, and after the first song I'm not sure if anyone would even want to try and figure them out. Of course, the Headnecks can't leave a good thing alone, and shortly into the song there's a break that is dominated by a dis- torted bass sound reminiscent of Neil Vbung's "Hey Hey, My My Of course, Neil did it much better. By far the best song on the CD is also the most different song on the CD. The only reason Pkttommn Chickenskack didn't get a rating of I, is the hillbilry-rsh "Rres of Hell" Start from the textbook of country music "Rres of Hell" puts you right in the mid- die of the Dubs Of Hansard listening to someone play the Boar's Nest bar. "Fires of Hell" has a nearly empty whiskey bottle, and a drunk narrator who has nothing left but to get drunker and go to hell. This is what country musk was meant to be. From here out the CD hits rock bottom and then sinks lower. Eight songs go by without a single redeeming factor. By about the fifth song, I realized the Headnecks are about ten years too late for their calling. If they had released the same CD ten years ago, with big hair and leather, they would have been sucked right into the glam rock fad that so plagued musk in the late 80'$. But, by now every one has come to their senses and realized that most the musk of that time was pure crap, and the Headnecks are out of luck. But they also shouldn't give up hope. After ail, disco came back, so anything is possible. Space, the final frontier. These are the ventures of the industry known as Hollywood, its ongoing mission to seek out new marketable formulas and concepts, to boldly make as much money as possible. This seems to be the newest philosophy in Tinseltown. Science fiction has been hot for the past few years and the recent successes of such block- buster films as Independence Day, Star Trek: First Contact and Men in Black are solid proof that the trend will not soon fade. Moviegoers have been bom- barded with so many big-budget space flicks lately that even the most die- hard sci-fi fan is probably getting a little weary. Still to come, Starship Troopers, an X-Files feature film, another Star Tret adventure and the long- awaited Star Wars prequels. Admittedly, many of the newest entries into the sci-fi genre have been impressive and fun. But none have been particularly engaging on the intel- lectual or philosophical level-until now. Contact, the latest film by Academy Award winning director Robert Zemcckis, is being marketed as a simple movie about earth making its first contact with extraterrestrial life. Judging from the trailers, one would expect something in the vein of The Arrival, a very forgettable Charlie Sheen flick concerning an alien signal that reaches earth from the outer limits of space. While the bask premise for Contact may be similar to The Arrival, Contort has several positive elements working in its favor. First, Contact is based on Carl Sagan's popular novel of the same name, and, as thousands and thousands of readers would testify, Sagan is not a brainless author of trash. Next, Zemeckis has packed his film with a won- derful cast that is fed by the always commanding Jodie Foster. Finally, and most importantly, Sagan's idea intelligently translates to film thanks large- ly to a focused script (written by Michael Goldenbcrg) that dares to place human drama over alien extravaganza. The result is the most mature and sophisticated mainstream film released so far this summer. Without delving too deeply into the plot, I'll give the basic highlights. Jodfe Foster plays an energetic scientist who, despite critkisms from her colleagues, decidedly dedicates her professional and personal life to look- ing from extraterrestrial life. She joins a scientific team whose sole func- tion is to listen to all the excitement going on in space. Of course, Foster discovers an alien signal, the government gets involved, the media spread the word and the world goes wild with excitement and fear. What follows is a struggling race to decipher the signal and figure out its intentions. Fans more accustomed to the frantic action in sci-fi films like Independence Day may be disappointed here. Contact is deliberately paced with only fleeting moments of action. Still, the story's central theme of human quest for universal truths is so relevant and applicable to contem- porary human consciousness that one can't help but be completely drawn into che search. As Foster and company progressively get closer to understanding the signal's meaning, philosophical and religious questions abound. Matthew McCcnaughey, who turns in a fine performance despite being miscast, serves as the proponent for faith over science. This goes in direct contrast with Foster's stance that science has dispelled a need for God. opposing beliefs serve as the film's main conflict and thrusting force also fits neatly into the current alien phenomena. In a world where God no longer exists, where else can we look for meaning than to the stars? Don't worry, though. Contact is not a two-and-half-hour lecture human philosophy. It is a indeed every bit as entertaining and fun as summer roller coaster currently playing. Zemcckis takes full advantage of sight and sound, making this a theatrical experience, something that will be diminished on video. The Carolina East theater in town finally has fully functional DTS sound system, and Contact clearly illustrates the dif- ference a sophisticated sound system can make (particularly in the hyp- notic opening sequence). The film only slips at sporadic points. Forced efforts at developing a love interest between Foster and McConaughey, admittedly, aren't com- pletely effective, and McConaughey's character, who serves as a spiritual adviser for the I S. President, should be played by an older actor who com mands more respect. But these minor faults are easily overlooked once the awe-inspiring mystery of the unknown takes over. Ciiuuiii thrives on ilic unknown. No clear answers are given, no definite resolutions arc determined. In many ways, the film concludes with questions than it began with. This is an honest and serious attempt to t into modern society's anxiety about either being or not being alone in t' infinite universe. Skeptics may mock any effort to seriously address the possibility extraterresrrial life. Belkvcrs may want the issue to be more seriously dealt with. And simple fans of science fiction may just want more fiction in their science. Whatever criticisms Contact gets dealt, credit must be given to Zemeckis and company for during to touch the unknown without destroy- ing the mystery that keeps the wodd looking into the night sky and flock- ing to the theaters. concertrevTew Bad Livers Cookin' at Rhythm Alley JENNIFER LEOOETT �TAFP WHITE As a kid, just getting home from a hard day of elementary school, watching clastic TV reruns was part of my dairy routine. Happy Dap, Good Tunes, and Barmy Mdkr were some of the best just to name a few. But my all time favorite was The Andy Griffith Shorn, especially the episodes with the interesting jug band musk of the Darling family They were their own Hee Ham. Maybe this is why I can't help stomping my foot to some good old fashioned blue- grass. It would definitely explain why the Bad Livers show at Rhythm Alley in Durham was all that and a jug of moonshine. With Danny Barnes on banjo and guitar, Mark Rubin on bass and tuba of all things, and Bob Grant playing guitar and mandolin with incredible genius I have never seen before. Bad Livers sounded like the Darlings on speed. This Austin based band takes the authenticity of traditional bluegrass and blends it with influences from punk to funk, giving it a goofy, punkabilly sound. Bad Livers started off their first ten song set with goofy tunes "Six Feet Down "Chkken Pfc" and the fierce "I Know We Ain't Married but I Love You Still Leading off "Shufflin' to Memphis" and the second set with a ready fellas? Danny Barnes made the audience feel like they were at a genuine hoedown. The last part of the evening was geared more toward their new album with the songs "My Old Man and "Falling Down the Stairs (With a Pistol in My Hand) It was fierce. It was fun. I have never heard a tuba sound so good. The eclectic mixture of the crowd at Rhythm Alley, (70 or so punk guys, hippies, old bluegrass dudes, metal chics, professor types), was an atmosphere boost to the newly opened club that will be the host to other blues and insurgent country acts. Seeing three twentysomething guys wearing Air Jordans, playing experimental blue- grass and promoting their new album Hogs on the Highttay was a Her Hast experience in the greatest sense of nostalgia.

Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Jeff Magnum and Johnny Blitz were exactly what their album proclaimed:King Load and Snotty.

Pearl Jam, Green River and The Supersuckers have all covered their material. Bonip Records has recently released the original, rougher mix of Young, Ij)ud ami Snotty, Youngrr. hauler anil Snottitr. Sadly, Stiv Bators died in 1990 in Paris as a result of injuries he received after being hit by a car. Cheetah Chrome is slated to have a new album coming out soon On Bomp. The whereabouts of the remaining members are unknown. Yes, Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers played rock and roll with their "hearts on their sleeves, but they also played with their arms strapped for another heroin injection. They were junkies. They even briefly considered renaming themselves the Junkies. Lead singer and guitarist Johnny Thunders and drummer Jerry Nolan were former members of glam punkers The New York Dolls. Walter Lure and Billy Rath played lead guitar and bass guitar respectively. Richard Hell served briefly as a Heartbreaker before leaving to form his own band. LAMM did not reach its potential upon its initial release. Problems in the mix of the album hindered its quality. Remixes for the album were done in 1984 and again in 1994. The 1994 version on Jungle Records is probably the best version. The Heartbreakers sound wasn't quite as harsh as The Dead Boys, who sound almost heavy metal on some songs. Their sound was rooted in the Rolling Stones and '50s and '60s R&B. The Heartbreakers wrote rock and roil anthems. Most of their songs featured catchy melodies and even catchier choruses. Just as often as their songs were about dependency on drugs and excessive lives. The Heartbreakers' songs were about - what else - women. There's a lot of love on l-A.M.F. You get "1 Wanna Be l.oved "Pirate Love "I Love You and their version of "Do You Love Me?" Barry Gordy, who wrote "Do You Love Me? should have thought about signing The Heartbreakers to Motown or at least as songwriters. They were the druggie version of HoliandDoierHolland. On "I Wanna Be Loved Thunders sings in a drunken slur, do what I'm gonna sayI'm so crazy 'bout you I don't wanna play, 1 wanna be loved by you It would have been a hit for Marvin Gaye. The Heartbreakers had their punk anthem, too. "Born to Lose" lives down the street from The Dead Boys' "Sonic Reducer "Living in a jungle, it ain't so hard but living in a city, it'll eat out your heart I think I'll just stay in the country forever. Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers left more than just the track marks on the arms, they left a mark on rock and roll. The Devil Dogs, The Humpers, The Candysnatchers and millions of lesser bands have taken their cue from the band. The current "alternative coun- try" movement also owes much to The Heartbreakers. The Replacements, I think, are one of the few bands who equaled and even topped The Heartbreakers in spirit, musically and in their rela- tionship with illegal substances. The Replacements even did a song in the early '80s about Johnny Thunders (and probably a lot about themselves also) called "Johnny's Gonna Die The song detailed Thunders' excess- es in his music and his life. The cho- rus offered a taunting "Na Nanna Na Na The Replacements' prediction came true in 1991. Johnny Thunders died in New Orleans hotel room after combining a lethal mixture of methadone and alcohol. Nolan died a vear later.

Why not take out some of your frustrations on some golf balls? Grab your golf clubs and take the short trip down Greenville Blvd. N.E. to the Big Splash Aqua Driving Range. Owner Steve Curtis says that Big Splash is a unique driving range, unlike the others around the area. "The unique thing about Big Splash is that you hit the balls into the water Curtis said. AMANDA ROSS SPORTS F.IHTOR The head coaching job of the Pirate basebail team, vacated by Gary Overton last month, could be filled very shortly. That is the word from Henry VanSant, assistant athletic director. The athletic department is keeping a tight lip on the interviewing process, but TEC did find out that the final decision has boiled down to four possible candidates. Those four arc Billy Best, Mike Fox, Keith LeClair and Joe McFarland. VanSant couldn't comment on any of the candidates, but said he hoped an announcement would be made later this week. "We have interviewed candidates for the job and we plan to make an announcement on Sunday the 20th VanSant said. Best is a former Pirate-as a player and an assistant coach and is cur- rently an assistant with N.C. State. Best was the head coach at Elon College for three seasons, compiling an 82-45 record, before taking the position with State. During the '94 and '95 seasons, Best led his teams to the NCAA Division II tournament, and all three teams finished in the national rankings u, the Division II polls. At the Big Splash driving range, it's okay to get your balls wet. There are islands located in the lake that can be used es targets tor golfers. PHOTO BY JONATHAN SftiEN For those of you who swing the club pretty well, or for the beginners, the aqua range comes equipped with five yardage islands. The islands are placed in the water from 95 yards to 245 yards. Curtis seems to have quite a popular place for students and people in the community. "I've been in business for seven years Curtis said. With the reasonable prices on the buckets of balls, it's easy to see why Curtis has been in business this long. A small bucket of balls costs just $1.75, a medium is S3.75, and the large bucket is $8.50. If you're on a tight schedule there are still plenty of times to head out to Big Splash during the day. The summer operation hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you want to chip on the chipping green you must be there a little earty because the greens close 30 minutes before closing time. Curtis said he enjoys hiring ECU students. "Although I'm not hiring staff people right now, I do, however, hire ECU students when jobs are available Curtis said. Big Splash caters to every golfer, whether they are new to the sport or play often. They have an artificial turf pad or real grass from which you can tee off. It is a popular driving range among all ages, and with the inexpensive costs, it's an affordable way to get in some good practice. So grab your golf clubs or borrow some friends' clubs, and if you still don't have any you can check them out at the Student Recreation Center. Curtis said if anyone has any questions about aqua golf to call him, or any of the staff members, at 758-1341. ECU basketball player charged in kidnapping Jacqueline d. Kellum ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Lawrence Thomas was arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap two women. FILE PHOTO For the past 15 years, Fox has held the helm at Division HI North Carolina Wesleyan in Rocky Mount. A Chapel Hill graduate, he took the Wesleyan job after ECU graduate Tony Guzzo vacated the job and left for Virginia Commonwealth. (Guzzo is now head coach at ODU.) Fox has won the Division III NCAA championship once with the Battling Bishops and has led rhc team to the World Series. Prese tly, LeClair is the head coach at Western Carolina, where he has posted a 228-135-2 record, earning Southern Conference Coach of the Year Honors in '92, '94 and '97. LeClair played at Western Carolina as a first basemanoutfielder and he played on four consecutive Southern Conference championship teams. He was the tourney MVP in '88. McFarland has been the head coach at Northern Illinois since 1991. He has a record of 123-211-1. His '95 team went 29-27, which was the first winning season for the school since 1972. In '96 Northern Illinois went 27- 30 but still managed to win the Midwestern Collegiate Conference tour- nament to earn a spot in the NCAA tourney. It was also the first league title for the school since '72. McFarland was a head coach at Kellogg's Community College in Michigan before going to Northern Illinois. He was an assistant at Florida State in '82, Georgia Tech from '8386 and at South Florida from '86 to '90. Overton, who was forced to resign after this season, posted a 427-237- 1 record while head at ECU which makes him the winningest coach in Pirate history.

Lawrence Dewavne Thomas, 21, of 121 Riverbluff Rd Apt. 42, Greenville, was arrested on Thursday, July 10, for attempted second-degree kidnapping and one count of assault by pointing a gun. Detective Ricky Best of the Greenville Police Department inves- tigated the incident, and confirmed that the charges were filed against Thomas. "He's still in jail-the bond at presently is $51,000 Best said. At press time, Thomas was still being held at the Pitt County Detention Center, where he has been held since his arrest. The alleged incidents of kidnap- ping involved two twenty-two year old women at separate times on Tuesday morning, July 8. The first woman said she was approached approximately 10:20 a.m. while she was riding her bike on Hickory Street. She said she was approached by a black male who asked for directions to Greenville Boulevard. The man then threatened her with a gun and attempted to force her into a Chevrolet Cavalier. She escaped into another passing vehicle. The second woman was walking on Greenville Grcenway at approxi- mately 10:45 a.m. when she was approached by a black male on foot, SEE KIDNAPPING PAGE 7 i (SID) � The CAA announced the results of its pre-season men's and women's basketball polls.

ODU Head Coach Jeff Capel returns five players who made at least 11 starts for last season's 22-11 squad which captured the CAA title and partic- ipated in the NCAA Tournament. The Monarchs will be led by junior guard Mike Byers, a pre-season All-CAA pick, who is the team's leading returning scorer (11.5 ppg.) Senior point guard Brion Dunlap who was a pre-season Second Team All-CAA selection, also returns along with junior sharpshooter Mark Poag who averaged 11.3 ppg. The ODU frontline will feature 1997 part-time starters Reggie Bassette and Cal Bowdlcr along with Skipper Youngblood. The trio accounted for 13.7 points and 12.2 rebounds per game and will attempt to replace the production of the 1997 CAA Player of the Year, Odell Hodge, who graduated. Joining Byers on the pre-season All-CAA squad are JMU senior forward Chatney Howard who was a first team All-CAA pick last season after averag- ing a team high 14.6 points per game for the Dukes. 1997 Second Team All- CA selections, ECU' Raphael Edwards and American University's Nathan Smith were voted First Team in the pre-season poll. Edwards averaged 13.2 ppg last season, while Smith is the CAA's leading returner scorer (17.3 ppg) and one of the nation's top three point threats (82 treys). Rounding out the team are William 6c Mary junior guard Randy Bracy and Richmond senior forward Eric Poole. Bracy averaged 13.0 ppg with a team high 37 steals while Poole topped the CAA in rebounding (8.8 rpg) while averaging 10 ppg. Wendy Larry, the 1997 Sporting News, RCA and USBWA Coach of the Year, returns three starters from ODU's 34-2 squad which captured its sixth consecutive CAA title and advanced to the title game of the 1997 NCAA Tournament. The Lady Monarchs will be led by the 1997 CAA Player of the Year, Ticha Penicheiro who was a Kodak and AP All-American last season. Penicheiro led the nation with 271 assists and 161 steals. ODU team- mates Nyree Roberts and Mary Andrade each garnered First Team All-CAA honors last season. Roberts, a 6-3 season center, is the CAA's leading return- ing scorer (17.0 ppg). She also topped the conference and ranked third rationally in field goal accuracy (65.2 percent). Andrade, a junior forward, averaged 11.3 ppg last season with 95 steals and is one of the league's most versatile players. Joining the ODU trio on the pre-season All-CAA squad are American uni- versity's Mary Klima and George Mason's Kristeena Alexander. Klima, a senior forward, topped the conference in rebounding (8.8 rpg) and was fourth in scoring (15.5 ppg). Alexander, the 1997 Rookie of the Year, averaged 14.9 points per game. The 5-6 point guard was second in the CAA in steals (3.4 spg) and sixth in assists (4.1 apg). British Open showcases best golfers in world player in the world. "But I would like to include Ernie Els and Tom Lehman, who are playing very well at the moment. And Greg Norman won the other week and Nick Price is on form and you can never count out the likes of Nick Faldo or Steve Elkington Montgomeric did not include himself on that list but when asked about the state of his game, the 34- year-old Scotsman said: "It goes without saying that I'm playing pos- sibly the best golf of my 10-year pro career right now Whether this British Open pro- duces a tournament, to Ik- filed away on the highest shelf of the memory banks remains to be seen. Norman, Price and Montgomerie already have bitter-sweet memories of Royal Troon and the west coast of Scotland For Montgomerie, it is a return to his childhood home and a reminder that of the four major champi- onships this ironically is the one in which he has fared the worst. Price thinks back to 1982 at Troon when he finished second by a stroke at age 25 after being three strokes ahead with six holes to play. He can also revel in the memory of the 1994 British Open he won just down the road at Turnberry. And Norman, who played his first major championship at Turnberry 20 years ago, remembers that his play- off loss at Troon in 1989 helped make him the only person to lose all TROON, Scotland (AP) - Memories abound at the British Open, as hap- pens when an event is held 126 times, and the tournament looming this week at Royal Troon offers the promise of something truly memo- rable. There may have never been a major championship held at a time when so many of the best golfers in the world were playing their best golf- "To be pitted against the best, playing your best is what you dream of Greg Norman said Tuesday. "It would be idyllic if you had nine holes to go and the top 10 players in the world locked in within a stroke of each other The top seven players in the World Golf Rankings come into this British Open very much on their games. Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Norman, Colin Montgomerie, Nick Price, Tom Lehman and Steve Elkington have all won tournaments this year - Woods, Els, Norman, Montgomerie and Lehman within the last month. Asked if he remembered going into a major championship with so many of the best players playing so well, Price answered with a simple and direct, "Not really Montgomerie, the hometown hero who won the Irish Open with a final-round 62 two weeks ago, ticks off a list of contenders at Troon that would make for a stirring Sunday fin- ish.

Rusty Greer, Domingo Cedeno, Jay Buhner, Dan Wilson and Russ Davis each struck out three times. And Cedeno was a fifth-inning replacement for Will Clark, who took a Randy Johnson fastball on his right arm. Onfy four of the 20 batters in Sunday's Seattle-Texas game - Joey, Cora, Alex Rodriguez, Paul Sorrento and Clark - didn't strike out. Thirty-one players struck out against Seattle's Johnson (14) and Bobby Avala (four), and Texas' Bobby Witt (nine), Dan Patterson (two) and John Wettleland (two) to set a major league record for a nine- inning game. "That wasn't real pretty said Dean Palmer, the Rangers' third baseman who struck out twice. "There was a tot of swinging and missing The pitching performances broke the record of 30 strikeouts set by Seattle and Oakland on April 19, 1986, in a game when Jose Rijo had 16 strikeouts for the Athletics. In a game that left Johnson noth- ing to show for seven innings of bril- liant baseball. Texas won 4-2 on Sunday with two runs in the ninth off Ayala. the first on Damon Buford's Icadoff homer. Plummer says yes, Haley and Novacek to say no (AP)-Thc local hero is coming in Arizona, just as two key members of the Dallas Cowboys are leaving the NFL. Jake Plummer, who led Arizona State to an undefeated record and a Rose Bowl berth last season, agreed to a three-year, 1.6 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. He is expected to back up Kent Graham at quarterback. "I want to be on a winning team that goes to the playoffs, and I know eventually - sometimes it doesn't happen the first, second, third, sometimes fifth or sixth year where you become a starter Plummer said. "But whenever that happens, I know I'll get my chance to lead the team. Plummer will get a $700,000 bonus, plus $241,000 in salary rhis year, $302,000 next, and $326,000 in 1999. While the Cardinals were wel- coming their young quarterback, the Cowboys were getting ready to say goodbye to two mainstays: Charles Haley and Jay Novacek. Both were expected to announce their retirements because of bad backs at a joint news conference Tuesday. Magic GM says Scott's comments to youngsters unaccept- able ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Angry com- ments by Dennis Scott during a summer camp in Virginia, including a threat to sit out next season, caught the Orlando Magic off-guard. General manager John Gabriel said Monday that Scott's actions before a group of children who lis- tened to him while explicit rap music blared from the rear of the player's nearby sport utility vehicle were inappropriate. With arms flailing, the veteran of seven NBA seasons told the young- sters, ages 9-17, that he could retire if the Magic "don't start treating me right "Don't ask me for my autograph, because 28 years ago, I was broke. You ask for my autograph now because I've got millions of dollars. Do not ask me for my autograph.

Gabriel said he spoke wuh Scott by telephone on Monday and that the 6-foot-8 forward told him that he wants to remain in Orlando and honor the final season of a three- year, $9 million contract. Tve only seen bits and pieces of the video. But what he said is unac- ceptable. He told me he felt it was something he needed to make a statement about. But this obviously wasn't the proper forum Gabriel said. "I'm concerned about my player. If he's having problems, or if he doesn't want to play here, or he's unhappy, I want to know about it.

The Lilly Legends series, unveiled Tuesday, marks the first time the main women's golf tour has set up special competition for its older players, such as 40-year-old Nancy Lopez, Patty Sheehan and Beth Daniel, 41-year-old Betsy King and Amy Alcott, an J 45-year-old Jan Stephenson. "This is an historic milestone for women's golf LPGA commissioner Jim Ritts said. "The LPGA wel- comes Lilly to the tour and applauds its efforts to educate todays women on how to integrate healthy activi- ties, such as goif, into their lifestyle Financed by Lilly, an Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company; this year's series will run through the Healthsouth Inaugural at Walt Disney World next January; with the winner getting $125,000 from a total purse of $500,000. Golfers can win bonus points at the remaining 12 full-field LPGA events this season and triple points at the Healthsouth. In succeeding years, points will be awarded at all full-field tour stops. Gable to take year off; may be gone for good IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Dan Gable era in college wrestling might be over. For now it's on hold. Gable, who dominated oppo- nents as a competitor before making Iowa the most feared name in the sport, said Monday he is taking a year off as coach of the Hawkeyes and strongly indicated he might be out of coaching for good. "One thing I've been good at is reading my team. That's why we've been able to make decisions at prop- er times said Gable, whose teams have won 15 NCAA championships during his 21 seasons as coach. "But I'm grading myself right now, and I really read myself as nec- essary for me lo'step down Tormented by- aching knees and hips and fatigued by the stress of constantly seeking perfection, the 48-year-old Gable will work in an administrative job with the athletic department while deciding his coaching future. Jim Zalesky, an Iowa assistant who wrestled under Gable, will be acting coach for the 1997-98 season. If Gable decides not to come back, the school would seek a permanent replacement, athletic director Bob Bowlsby said. Heat keeps ti.wds-but not enthusiasm - down GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - With a muggy, 92-degree day, the crowds weren't as big as expected as the Green Bay Packers opened training camp. Expectations for the Super Bowl champs, though, remain sky high. "I'm not satisfied at all with what we've accomplished coach Mike Holmgren said "I'm pleased, but I'm not satisfied A year ago, the Packers were still smarting after yet another playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys. They came to camp determined to win the Super Bowl, yet when they started telling everyone, Holmgren put a lid on all title talk. He won't ban the word "repeat" from the team's vocabulary this year. "Our goals are set very high again Holmgren said. "My whole thing with that was I don't think you have to talk about it a l�t. Everyone can talk about it and everyone will. And it will be written about. I just don't want the players to talk about it that much. "Let's just play and let your actions speak more than your words Even though the champions return mostly intact, Holmgren told his team at its orientation meeting that everyone will have to work hard- er than last season to have a shot at back-to-back titles.

For no one is the return to Troon as poignant as for Montgomerie, who grew up within sight of the first tee. Second in the U.S. Open twice and second in the PGA once, he has never been higher than eighth in the British Open and has missed the cut four of the last five years. He hopes his local knowledge of the course where his father is the club secretary will count for a lot. "I've played this course in all types of conditions Montgomerie said.
