(AP) ? Doctors at East Carolina University are experi- menting with a new technique that could replace the pain of breast cancer surgery with a simple incision and series of stitches. To check for the disease, doctors routinely remove dozens of Ivmph nodes near a woman's armpit, then examine a select few to determine if the cancer has moved beyond the breast. The surgery involves cutting around muscle and major arteries. . The new process, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in December, is intended to simplify the process in a way that improves a doctor's ability to detect cancerous ceils while speeding a patient s recovery. t c The procedure uses a combination of dyes and radioactive tracers to identify a single lymph node ? the "sentinel node" ? that is most likeK to contain can- cer cells. Then doctors subject that node to a battery of tests to jud?c the am- eer's possible spread. Pilot was giving mechanic ride before crash CAMDEN, S.C. (AP) ? The pilot of a World War H-vintage plane had been giv- ing a friendly mechanic a ride when the aircraft went down, killing Ixith men, officials said Sunday ' Luke Eller, U, of Camden. and pilot Steve Burlcson of Wavnesville, N.C died Saturday evening when the antique T-6 single-propeller plane trashed into some trees in the Lake Elliott area northeast of Camden. National Transportation Safety Board investigators said Sunday that the plane went into a nose dive before crashing, with the nose buried about a foot into the ground. The plane was owned by the Western North Carolina Air Museum, a non- profit organization. A board member there said the aircraft, built in 1942, Mas inspected every 30 flight hours, which occurred about twice a year. across the nation Airline price hike to hit business travelers hardest NEWYORK (AP) ?With a healthy economy fueling strong fall travel Ixxikings, the nation's major airlines have raised already record-high ticket prices by S per- cent, The Wall Street Journal reported today Business travelers will take the brunt of the increases.

Candy, carnivals and sex offenders on computer POMONA, Calif. (AP) ? The Los Angeles County Fair will offer cotton candy, carnival rides and a chance to check out the names of the state's 64.000 regis- tered sex offenders. The state Justice Department will set up eight computers in an exhibition hall that can display offenders' names, pictures, zip codes and crimes. A similar exhibit at the state fair in Sacramento last month drew 4.000 inquiries. Critics say the fair, which opens Thursday is an inappropriate place for the information. The information was made available under the state's Megans Low, which requires police to release information on known sex offenders. The law was named after a 7-year-old New Jersey girl.

I AMANDA AlSTIN SS1STNT Nf.WS KDITOR Riding along with the rise and the falls of the stock market, ECU's investments reflect the market at large. ECU, along with many other LNC-system Universities, is invest- ing their money in a variety of stocks and bonds. These investments have prospered over time and the result has been a generous amount of monev building up in endowment funds. 'An endowment fund is made up of gifts and donations of which the principle can not be spent, it must be invested said Richard Brown, vice chancellor for business affairs. The endowments ECU has invested come from a variety of sources. Many donations arc made by ECU alumni, businesses and cor- porations. UNC President CD Spangler has recently set up many endowments over the UNC University system. Endowment funds at ECU are divide into two separate funds. "The bulk of our endowment funds are in a combined investment pool of the ECU endowment fund and the ECU foundation sad Brown. "In addition is a separate investment pool for the ECU Educational Foundation These endowment funds are invested in seven different types of investment firms. The seven firms are: growth portfolio, value portfolio, two aggressive small company port- folios, international portfolio, emerging markets portfolio and a fixed income portfolio. The fixed income portfolios that arc invested in arc primarily bonds. The National Association of College and University Business Affairs (NACUBO) conducted a survey that has showed the majority of Universities invest half of their endowments in U.S. NACUBO shows that for the past three years universities have been showing significant gains. With the use of strategic place- ments of funds ECU has seen a sig- nificant increase in their funds . "The total of all our portfolios as of June 30 is the market value of $21.9 million said Brown. "That is the total value of all the stocks, bonds and everything. The endow- ment fund portion of the market value is $4.6 mil- lion and the foundation portion is $17.3 million. Funding has actually increased to where the rate of return for funds has been higher than the index for that particular period. "We had a rate of return in the past six months of 10.67 percent. The index to that period was 9.2 percent said Brown. In order to have such luck in the stock market funds must be placed by masterminds in the area of Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs. PHOTO COURTESY OF ECU NEWS BUREAU investing. ECU investments are controlled by the ECU Investment Committee. "You have an investment board, the investment board engages an investment adviser, we call a ager of agers Brown, provides what man- man- said "He us advice on how we should invest the funds of the foundation and endow- ment This past year the process which has been used by the investment adviser to place funds in investing firms is strategic asset allocation. "We follow what is called strate- gic asset allocation, which is a finan- cial model that maximizes the return on investments, while reduc- ing risk said Brown. This process involves placing funds where hopefully there will be a decline and increase on opposite equities. "Certain types of investments move opposite directions to one another, such as domestic equities often moves opposite foreign equi- ties. As the stock market is going up the foreign equities often are going down. Likewise, in the way you have invested both, you have limited your risks and stabilized your rate of return said Brown.

Fact: Only 17 percent of ECU students report drinking this often Surveys are given to find out where problems are and figure out possible solutions to them. "The purpose of this survey was to find out how much consumption is going on and when are they con- suming said Speier. "We wanted to find out perception verses reality Now that the survey has been completed administrators are able to decide on their greatest points of concerns and what they plan to do about them. 'Two things are of concern to us, we have reduced the perception of ECU students, and have a concern for binge drinking said Speier. This university is planning an abundance f awareness and preven- tion programs to take place through- out the school year. "We will have more programming during the weekend when the majority of students drink said Speier. With the release of this survey, students should be more accurately informed about the actual drinking habits of their peers. "To help people understand the results of this survey and to portray a more realistic view of our campus, we will be involved in a media cam- paign this semester to help our cam- pus and community understand the truth about student involvement with alcohol said Dr. Donna Walsh, health promotion and well being.

If a poster or a curtain touch the bulbs it starts a fire within sec- onds, even bugs that hit the buibs can start a flame said Manny Amaro. The lamp is a free standing lamp that has a shallow bowl-shaped fix- ture set on top of a 6-foot pole. Now, you can get a similiar style lamp with the bowl facing down to prevent objects getting stuck in the bowl, which can be highly flamma- ble. "The housing department will be doing their routine fire inspec- tions, we have sent out brochures to all students about these lamps. Housing has ban all tocheire style (iamma lamps. The only halogen lamps that we will allow are 150 watts or lower and they should have the guard. During this inspection students with these lamps will not have any disciplinary action held against them. To fix some of these lamps it is as easy as changing the bulbs said Amoro. As of February 5,1997 the tocheire lamps have had an improved level of safety because they already had the guard in placed.

Since December of 1995 gifs and donations to the Medical Foundation have decreased a signif- icant amount. "Although the Medical Foundation is chartered as an inde- pendent organization, the universi- ty administration is ultimately responsible for its proper conduct. The reforms that the administra- tion has implemented, in concert with the Medical Foundation board of directors will help assure that the Medical Foundation's reputation will be restored and that it will oper- ate with the utmost integrity. The benefactors who entrust their assets to the stewardship of the Medical Foundation, for the good works it has a supported in the past and those it will embrace in the future, deserve no less said Eakin. The Medical Foundation is a very important part of ECU and several schools with which is involved. "We deeply regret the situation that developed at the Medical Foundation, but we believe that the reforms will ensure the continued success of that organization. The medical Foundation plays a vital role in the success of the ECU Schools of Medicine.

KIDS fin; i x ECU is hoping to put four consecutive winning seasons together this year for football and they need your help. That's right, the football team is calling you. The home opener against Write Forest is this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and officials are expecting the biggest crowd ever for a Pirate game. True, the upper deck is not completed yet, but they have already constructed temporary bleachers in each end zone until the deck is complete. There are 5,000 extra seats with 1,500 seats in the scoreboard end zone and 3,500 in the Minges Coloseum end Zone. The 3300 seats are for reserved ticket holders, while the other 1,500 will be used for student overflow. It is vital that each and every student and fan pack the stadium and cheer on the Pirates. We need to prove that we will be able to fill that upper deck when it is completed. Football players know when they have the support of the fans in the stands. It gives them a boost. They want nothing more than to hear the roar of the crowd supporting their hard work on the field. Student tickets are still free, so take advantage of that and travel to the game with your bud- dies. All of us here at TEC will be at the game wearing our purple and gold and cheering for the Pirates. This is only the third time in history these two teams have met with each other as ECU took a 20-10 win in 1963 and Wake Forest took the last meeting in 1979, 23-20. Ironically enough, the 1963 meeting in then, Rcklen Stadium was the dedication game for the stadium. Officials had hoped that this weekend's game would be the dedication for the new upper deck but con- struction problems have pushed that back. ECU students need to support their Pirates. The football team practices very hard through- out the week, and it is a real let down for them to look up in the stand and not see the students supporting them is a real let down. So let's all join together as a student body and cheer on the Pirates as they compete for their first win of the season. OPINION Everafter, china patterns not every student's cup of tea I will find the time to say 7 loveyou even ifthe tie that binds my brother and his future wife seems to be lacing its subtle and strangling wires around me. My brother is getting married next month, the day after my birthday, October 25. I think he loves her and she maybe loves him, and I want to be happy for them. She graduated from ECUs school of nursing this past spring, really smart young lady, good grades, never been in trouble with the law, doesn't drink, abhors smoking. I graduated from ECU's liberal arts program this past spring, think some- times I see genius in my work, make respectable grades, been in trouble with the law countless times, prefer bourbon to vodka, and smoke Winston regulars. My girlfriend went to JC Renneys and picked up their wedding registra- tion gift list. She enthusiastically (too enthusiastically for me) went through the list suggesting items we should buy for the bridal shower china pat- terns, color coordinated bath towels (colors like berry stain and magenta sunrise), electric can openers, five- piece place settings, etc. All the while, I studied Richard ford's Women With Men , half-pretending to be interest- ed in china patterns and autumn sun- rise draperies. I suppose I should be more happy for them. After all, it is my brother's wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime ceremo- ny, a formal union, the amalgam to beat all amalgams. Only I don't feel happy for them. At least, not to the point of dancing around in autumn sunshine curtains and lavender tea cup decor. I'm more like, "Honey, why dont we wait till were like 50 to tie the knot?" I guess in some rudimentary way, this marriage that he's so happy about and she's so happy about is creating some sort of midlifc crisis in me; and I'm only 23. It's just that right now I don't even want to think about lifelong commit- ments, mortgage values, diapers, and the seeming black-holish absorption of time that is having a family. As it is, I sleep an average of about six hours per night, t work three writ- ing- oriented jobs: editing a national academic publication, tutoring in the writing center, and my love, The East Carolinian. On top of which, I'm about 20,000 words into my first novel, 2,000 words into my 100th or so short story, and somewhere in the middle of a stormy sea called 12 graduate hours. I'm also working with four profes- sors and one wonderful editor in com- piling a portfolio for a doctoral pro- gram and am considering an intern- ship with the swanky Manhattan mag- azine Harpers. I hardly have time to even breathe the words "I love you" between sips of highly caffeinated drinks and lyrical passages of prose. How am I supposed to get married? Why should I get mar- ried? I made a promise to myself several years ago: I will not get married until 1 publish my first novel. As it is, it looks like III be at least 26 and the ominous year 2000 will be upon us. I told her we could do it in the rec- tory of Saint Patricks Cathedral, just like Fitzgerald and Zelda. And we may very well do that. Until that time, I will enjoy the productivity that has become my life. I will try to smile encouragingly at tea cup decor. I will wish my brother all the best. I will find the time to say "I love you" to my girlfriend, even if the tie that binds my brother and his future wife seems to be lacing its sub- tle and strangling wires around me. to the Editor Student unsatisfied with ECU's final exam policy I had this wonderful vision about grad- uating in December. After I finished my exams, I would rush to join my family and friends to begin celehrat- ?? ingour accomplishment of graduating college. They would come down the day before the ceremony and we would celebrate the entire night. The next morning I would walk across the stage, get my diploma, and go home to celebrate Christmas with my family. But then I remembered. I go to ECU, and nothing is simple and pretty here! This school has the great idea that everyone should go through the cere- mony first, and then take the finals. That's right! Just as if the Green Bay Packers were given the World Championship and then played the Super Bowl. My family and I arc most displeased with the apparent lack of organization of the administration at this school. For some crazy reason, 1 don't believe I'm the only person that feels this way. Bryan Edge Communications Major Senior OPINION Jeff BERGMAN Columnist Fear of crime ruins good neighbors lam sorry our society is the way it is. Sorry that our doors need to be locked and sorry for the way our neighbors are regarded with suspicion. Even people we do not know anything about are ? watched with a wary eye. This is a column written to one man. Yet, at one time or another we have ail experienced what I felt. The feeling is fear of a crime. To the man who came to my door, it is not your fault. The fault lays upon me. I am sorry. Ail you did was ask for a pen. 1 could not even help you. It was not you; it was the time you came. You awakened me from a good slumber on my couch. I did not stop to look at the clock on my way to the door. The only reference point I had for the time was the darkness. I knew it was well past sunset, yet still hours before dawn. Most likely daylight would have made a difference. I "nder the watch- ful eye of the sun 1 would have helped you. I do not know whv the light would have made a difference. Some psychological mumbo-jumho proba- bly If you were bleeding, yes, the door would have been open. I just found the tact thit you walked up a flight of stairs, down to the end apartment, to ask for a pen suspicious. Perhaps 1 am a tittle too suspicious. Had I known you, my door would have been open. For all I know you might be a neighbor of mine. I have recently moved; maybe you Jive near me. Perhaps you are also new to the neighborhood. According to the Greenville Police Department, crime is down. Even when crime is down public opinion polls constantly rank crime as a top concern of the public. Is the fear jus- tified? On a logical evaluation the answer is no. Yet. in the back of my head a little voice keeps saying, "it is better to be safe than sorry A fear rests in society. A fear of crime, especially violent crime. I have friends who were just being nice. They opened their doors to people they thought were in need The need they had was one of greed. They wanted what my friends had: jewelry; money, anything of value. I even know people who did not open their dixirs, but had their doors opened for them. Some ww home- some were not. An unlocked front door while watching television turns into a rude awakening for some col- lege students. I am sbrrv our socierv is the way ir is. Sorry that our doors need to be locked and sorry for the way our neighbors are regarded with suspi- cion. Even people we do not know anything about are watched with a wary eye. Mavbe one day the experience will come back to haunt me. One day 1 might need a door opened to me. That door might sta locked. 1 hope our neighbors can once again be our friends, stranger will Ix; greeted with open arms and the only thing to fear is fear itself. I hope this day is soon, because I do not like hiding behind a door. Oh yeah, 1 hope you got her phone number. LETTER TRNA disagrees with student housing coverage Recently, The East Carolinian has fea- tured several letters to the editor about issues related to the upcoming city council election. Your Sept. 4th edition featured an editorial con- demning the city ordinancelimiting the number of non-related persons in a home of three. You cite a four bed- room home in the College View area as "typical However, the "typical" home in the College View area resides on a small lot (about 5000 square feet) with only two or three bed- rooms, one bathroom, a small yard and little space for parking. This area was established as a residential communi- ty at a time when families generally had only one car and walked to the local grocery store, movie theatre, etc. The Tar River Neighborhood Association (TRNA) has been opposed to slums and has promoted the quality of life for students, fami- lies and senior citizens since its incep- tion in the late 1970's. In 1981, the neighborhood contained seven con- demned houses and was classified as a transitional neighborhood by the city of Greenville, meaning that it had the potential to either improve or decline. The TRNA worked with city officials to place ordinances, which over a peri- od of time could improve the quality of living for everyone in the neighbor- hood. One of the problems you describe is the exorbitant rent of $1000 for a two or three bedroom home, when in fact, if a reasonable rent was charged, two or three persons could live com- fortably in a house. In our mind, the issue here is financial exploitation of students, not the occupancy ordi- nance. With the abundance of rental property in Greenville now, the mar- ket in this area is beginning to reflect the desire of students to live in a?:as where the apartments or homes are clean, well-maintained, and afford- able. It is important to note that this type of ordinance is routine in other cities. Its sole purpose is to ensure a standard of living that can lie enjoyed by homeowners and renters alike. This is not a "student district Over 50 percent of the residences are homeowner occupied, which include young professionals, families and medical residents, many of whom are ECU graduates. Finally, why is The East Carolinian selecting an issue to polarize the neighborhood? The Hast Carolinian has never dealt with issues of stu- dents living in slum housing or sub- standard housing, not to mention the victimized students of university housing. When you discuss the need for reform, what about these issues which have been the concern of the TRNA for almost 20 years: Chen 1 Walker-Ridder President, TRNA LETTER to the Editor Logan brings success to university, not just athletics As a senior, 1 find myself looking back over my college years and thinking how dramatically the school has changed. Heck, even Greenville itself has come a long way in supplying the demand of a college town. I cannot think of but one reason whv most of the growth and beautitication of our university is happening?our football program, and more specifically. Coach Steve Logan. Yes, I know all about the Shared Visions campaign, and Chancellor Eakin does deserve some credit for his contributions. However, most out-of-state students don't come to ECU because of the new toilets in Umstead. I will never understand why all of our previous head coaches and atheletic directors were such big sellouts. Mavbe one dav ECU will have the last word. After being unsuccessful, many of our previous coaches probably wish they had stayed right here at ECU. Now I think I will get straight to the point: Steve Logan has had several opportunities to move on to other pro- grams, and yet he chose to stay for whatever reason. I can remember the day when 1 heard the news, it felt as though he shook my hand personally and said, "We are going to buy the AP poll and put our name at 1 for every preseason I had never seen or heard of anyone who had as much loyalty to the school as I had. Now 1 want to say thanks to Steve Logan for staying at ECU, and give him my support. It has been a long time coming; however, 1 still want to sav that vou are one of the top coaches in the country, as far as 1 see. This becomes vcrv obi bus at the end of every year when ESPN and other sports giants try to pull our coach from us. No positive things ate ever said about you during the vear. at least not until vour name comes up as a candidate to other positions. I he sports gods make out like they knew vour abilities and did not want to say anything If the football team loses every game this year. I will still Nip- pon: you as head coach.

S?pt?m??r 4, 1997 reviews The Simpsons Songs in the Key of Springfield tlOHT OUT OF TIN John Davis ASSISTANT UFF.STYI.lt HOITO In case you've been locked in one of Houdini's escape-proof boxes at the bot- tom of the Pacific Ocean for the past eight years, TheSimpsons is the longest run- ning animated sitcom in television's short history. Like any good art, it was once blasted and lambasted by conservatives with too much time and not enough drugs on their hands. That was back in Bart's famous underachkver days. Now the Simpsons have proven they are anything but underachievers, delivering witty, timely and very human comedy Simpsons quotes, mannerisms and per- sonalities have worked their way into everyday American culture to the point that high school students learn about Homer Simpson long before they team about that Greek guy who wrote the Odyssey. One of the most important, but often overlooked, aspects of the show's suc- cess is the soundtrack. Just as often as one might overhear someone quote Homer or Mr. Burns, one might also hear the "Itchy and Scratchy" theme song, for a long time, the only Simpsons music anyone could get their hands on was the badly made and out of print The Simpsons Sing the Blues, which was really just a marketing trick and didn't feature any musk from the show, though it did have the minor hit "Do the Bartman" on it. Finally, producer Matt Omening and composer Alf Clausen have collaborat- ed and compiled Songs m the Key ofSprmgMi. a "best of" collection of songs, culled from the 150 episodes of the first seven seasons. All of the best songs are not featured on the disc, but they did manage to cram over sixty of the funni- est, most emotional and most memorable musical moments on this disc. There are five different versions of the opening theme, including the Australian version, the Hill Street Blues version, and the Halloween version. There are just as many versions of the dosing theme, such as the parody of the Addams Family theme. But that's really just the bookends of the goldmine in this disc. Remember the "Monorail Song?" The parody of "Rock Me Amadeus" combined with Planet of the Apes(rock me Dr Zaius!)? "Who needs the Kwik-E-Manr Reverend Lovejoy singing "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda" to an organ?He thought it was In the Garden of Eden Ay caramba, indeed.) The disc also includes memorable quotes from the cast of the Simpsons, such as Homer complaining, "They lied to us through song! I hate that Bart selling hymns, "Hymns here, get 'em while they're holy, fresh from God's brain to your mouth Abraham Simpson wooing Mrs. Bouvier, "You remind me of a poem I can't remember in a song that may never have existed about a place I've never been to One of the best aspects Of The Simpsons is the fact that the characters not only have silly, comedk. moments, but they also have emotional, heartbreaking moments. They're very human for animated characters. The songs in which these moments occur are the best on the collection; Bart and Michael Jackson singing "Happy Birthday Lisa Krusty and Sideshow Mel singing a heart wrenching "Send in The Clowns Apu lamenting at the end of "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart the entire cast performing "A Streetcar Named Desire Even Mr. Bums lets some of his (albeit evil) emotions show in his dastardly giggly par- ody of Disney's "Be Our Guest The most amazing thing about this disc, though, is the fact that it remains just as good after repeated listens. Most compilations of this kind get old quick- ly, like, after the first run through. This collection stands apart from that crowd. The intriguing, honest intelligence of rhis soundtrack makes it more fun and man timeless than, say, the overplayed soundtrack to Nip Ftrikm. Not only that, but there's so much more Simpsons musk out there. Enough for a Volume 2. Which they might make for us if you go out now and buy yourself a copy. Be the first kid on your block to own one. Be the envy of your neighbors. Be the first person you know to learn the words to the parody of the Freemasons (who are in league with the llluminati), "We Do (the Stonecutters Song) Offer ends soon. Act Now. CO 0 Cert r ey i e w McClinton gives Hard Times the blues ANDY TURNER UFRJTYIF. F.DITOR to That music was about pokin I know it was. Rhythm and bluescountry leg- end Delbert McClinton delivered a sex-driven set to the Hard Times II crowd Friday night. The crowd responded in turn, grind- ing and groping on the dance floor to McClinton and his band of coitus cohorts' musical aphro- disiac. McClinton has long been respected for his blending of musical gen- res. Friday night he showed he was equally adept at rhythm and blues, blues, country and even (gasp) beach music. His seven-piece band was equally impressive. McClinton and company rolled through songs like Olympic gymnasts for close hour and a half. McClinton and his hand com- bined good songs with accomplished musicianship. His horn section was particularly impressive. McClinton's cigarette-stained vocals and virtuosi- ty on the harp make him the perfect bluesman. They did it slow, and they did it fast. McClinton started the show with the grindy, swampy "Take Me to the River Other songs such as "I Wanna Thank You Baby" offered the same groove-driven approach. Dtlbart McClinton cimt to Hard Timts II Friday night. photo ccwrtiY ? OtllEST NOMf MSt hornv to an However, the band knew the hard stuff too. "Never Been Rocked Enough" was sweaty, dirty rock and roil that not too many groups of McClinton and his band's age are capable of doing. A cover of El more James "Dust My Broom" likewise ignored any limitations expected as a result of the aging process. McClinton left the stage briefly to allow different band members the oppor- tunity to show off their stuff. It is perhaps appro- priate to consult the spirit of the famous music critic, Frankenstein's monster, who offered the definitive guidelines for music criti- cism. In the words of Frank, some of the solo efforts were "goooood" (keyboard player) while others were very "baaaad" (guitar player). It was a night of explosive libidos. I would say the crowd were happy recipi- ents of the band's penetrat- ing performance, but I'd prefer not to do it like that. Hard Times II should be com- mended for landing McClinton and bringing him to Greenville. McClinton's music certainly is diverse, a welcome addition to local music offerings. Fans of mainstream country also have something to look forward to this fall and winter thanks to Hard Times II. As part of its FallWinter concert series, well- known country artists such as David Lee Murphy, Rick Trevino and Lone Star will be coming to town. Impressive. Legendary orchestra promises smashing show at Wright Auditorium RON CHERliBINI JR STAFF WHITE NEW YORK ? From the moment you first speak with Grover Mitchell, two things are clear: He's blunt and, man, is he cool. The longtime friend of William "Count" Basic and a legendary trombone player in his own right, Mitchell now conducts the only band from the Big Band era with continued success and mass appeal. To Mitchell, the success of The Count Bask Orchestra boils down to a simple formula. "One of the things about the Bask band Mitchell said, it's always managed to be so good because of its high standards. We've pulled in great musician over the years. You know, a lot of good musicians want to play with Bask, but it's very hard to come in and stay. They kind of just melt away. Ninety-nine percent of them could never make it. never reach the high level of artistry The level of artistry to which Mitchell refers is not easily attainable if yea consider the kge ids the Alabama-bom, Pittsburgh-honed muakkn has worked with in the Bask band. Consider that while the likes of Quirky Jones, Thad Jones, Neal Hefty, Ernie Wilkens, Frank roster, and Frank Wes were writing musk for Bask, the likes of Jimmy Rushing, Big Joe Williams, Helen Humes and Bilik Holiday were bringing the blues to life on the mike. Throw in musicians like saxophone players Herschel Evans, Eric Dixon and Lester Young, trumpeter Buck Clayton, trombonist Dkkk Wells, drum- mer Jo Jones, bassist Walter Page, and rhythm guitarist Freddk Green, and it's easy to see why so many young musicians are banging on the door to fol- low in the footsteps of these legends.

The band refers to these years as the "comeback era For much of the past 45 years the physical make-up of the band has changed, but rhe music has remained the same. "Man, there's not a lot of improving you can do or. the music Mitchell said. "That's how things become classics, because you keep playing them.

More than a handful of stu- dents complain that live musk in Grecnvilk's clubs is often the same week after week and lacks origi- nality. For any of you rhat are aho frustrated wirh rhe lack of diverse live musk shows around town, a new program presented by the Student Union Popular Entertainment Committee may prove to be an exciting opportunity to catch fresh new acts on their way up. The Pirate Underground is a new scries put together by the Popular Entertainment Committee. "This is for students as well as musicians says Pirate Underground Chair C.W Jamescn. This is a good piace for bands that play around but aren't well known to get some exposure. It's for whoever wants to come Last week Duality and Peenuckk played to a good size crowd in the Mendenhal! Social Room. Duality, an acoustic female duo and ECU Musk School students, mainly played songs by Indigo Girts, Meredith Brooks, Janis Joplin and jewel. They harmonized wonderfully and carried off Joplin's "Bobby McGce" without a hitch. They did play one original song and it would have been great to hear more since chat was the best pan of their set. Peenuckk played after Duality and really stirred things up with their loud guitars, heavy bass and var- ious horns. These five guys from Wilson try hard for variety and pride themselves on sounding different from anything heard before. They definitely achieved their goal. Each song v as cclccrically dif- ferent, original, and their set was filled with variety galore. "We wanted to play Pirate Underground for fun and exposure said Peenuckk lead singer Gray Tyson. "I guarantee that even if you hate our music and think we suck you will laugh at least once dur- ing our set Well, the man is definitely as good as his word. They were a crazy band-no one could help but laugh at their antics. The Pirate Underground happens ever Thursday night from 8:00-10:45 in the Mendcnhall Social Room (right underneath the cafeteria). The ftjpular Entertainment Commtttu; serves free pizz: and drinks and plans to do more run stuff dependin on the amount of interest shown. The Pirate Underground could be great for the students of ECU. If you are in a band and want to plav, all you have to do is sign up for a date. The Student Union tech staff provides a stage, sound and lights. Plus, they raiie your band's performance for ynu ro use as a demo?all for free. The Popular Entertainment Committee will also publicize the event and give the band a fifteen minute interview on WZMB before the show. Since this is a trial semester for the Pirate Underground, participation is extremely important. Anyone in a band is welcome to sign up to play and all students are encouraged to come down to the Mendenhal! Social room on Thursday nights to catch a band that just might be the next big thing. Hollywood burns on the net aTlrr.FWW andy Turner I.IFF.STYI.F. P.DITOK Dullard nSt I like peopk who like to make Hollywood mad. That's pretty vindk- tive, you may think. Well, after many hours of extensive and exhaustive research, I have developed the follow- ing formula: Vindictiveness Fun squared. The threat whkh I am referring to is the new legion of internet warriors who spend their time spreading news about things Hollywood doesn't want you to know. Certainly, that is a worth- whik pursuit, Hollywood often takes a "no-vaseline" approach (what else can you can call taking review blurbs out of context and putting them on movie posters) to the marketing of its movies, making the most wretched of movies appear to be fun, fun, fun for the whole family, when, in fact, the movie is the "feel-nauseous" film of the year. The leader of the pack is Harry Knowies. Knowles has received a tremendous amount of media atten- tion for his "Ain't it Cool News" web- (www.aint-it-cool-news.com). site Articles on the Austin internet movie king have appeared in Variety and Fjtiertamment Weekh, and Rolling Stone named "Ain't it Cool" as a hot website. Knowles has developed a good foUow- ing with lots of insider information about the movie business, leading him to be proclaimed by some as "the most hated man in Tinseltown His spe- cialty is making it into movie screen- ings and reporting on the internet whether the movie was any good or not.

F.OITOR After the sixth time through the 1997 Video Music Awards, I've about decid- ed that MTV is luore Satanic than Marilyn Manson. Granted, both have been courted by the llluminati, but I have to say that Lucifer probably gets more mileage for his evil deeds out of MTV than out of Manson. Example: whik all Manson could do that approached evil nn last Thursday's awards show was to bare his buttocks and call Christians nasty names, MTV actually managed to pull the music industry lower than it ever has before by allowing hacks like Manson and Puff Daddy to appear on the show. Any and all of the good moments on the show were due to luck and not MTV planning. Firstly, the sound mix of the show was pretty darn rotten. You'd expect a music channel to have high-tech- fancy-schmancy-sound gear in place so that viewers could actually hear their favorite bands. As it is, the mix was crappier than any I've ever encountered. Granted, it was the Video Music Awards, and there was a lot of nice video. No music though. Fortunately, some musicians pay attention, and MTVs penchant for bad mixes must have been in the minds of Jewel, Beck and U2(whose stripped down version of "Please" was a welcome change). They all managed to have great sounding songs in spite of the bad mix. Sec, there's this whole PutTDaddv thing. Though Chris Rock successful- ly slammed on the notorious thief of pop songs several times during the evening, it was clear that much more slamming was required. For example, when Biggie Fries's mother came up on stage to thank all involved with his career, she forgot to thank all the kids who bought crack from Biggie in the early days of his career. Surely Rock could have mentioned that. There was also that horrible perfor- Beck is best.

Basie, who was in poor health, couldn't produce his full repertoire. Then, after his death, some of the new band ieaders started to tinker with the music. "I was very unhappy with what this band was all about at the time Mitchell said of. his first taste of being the leader. "It had to change. So, basically, I cleaned house. A lot of musicians that shouldn't have been here, had crept inI call them Postal Workers. On many occasions, 1 had to let musicians go What Mitchell has today is a fan- tastic mix of veteran Basie perform- ers like popular drummer Butch Miles, sax men John C. Williams and Kenny Hing, and trombonist William Hughes along with up-i.J-coming musicians like trumpeter Shawn C. Edmunds, trombonist David Kcim, and alto saxophonist Brad Leali. "I try to reassure the young musi- cians that they are good players. I don't want them to imitate the guy whose seat they're inthey're not going to be another Joe Newman or Frank Foster Mitchell said. "I tell them, 'Play what you arethat's what got you here Of course, Mitchell has no prob- lem showing them what he's talking about. "Man, it's always fun he said.

Showtime is at 8 p.m. Dullard continued from page 10 funny and perhaps pathetic "Harry's World What makes his site good, however, is Knowies' obvious love for movies. He's not out there just trying to screw Hollywood; movies are his passion. Another interesting source for movie gossip is the "Coming Attractions" website (http:corona.bc.cafilms). Its infor- mation is slightly more reliable than other sites. "Coming Attractions" gets a lot of its information from movie extras and underlings. It lacks the sense of humor that "Ain't it Cool" has, but it's still a fun site. It contains information about all kinds of movies in the can, in "development hell" and even just rumors of possible movies. Whether it's true or not, it's still fun to read about the possibility of Prrtty in Pint 2 or an A-Ttam movie. "Drew's Script-O-Rama" (www.script-o-rama.com) can keep you entertained for days, weeks, eter- nity. Drew has a ton of movie screen- plays, movie transcripts, television scripts and even screenplays from aspiring screenwriters. You can find Quentin Tarantino's original screen- play for Trur Ronumre, which contains lots of stuff that didn't make it to the movie's final version. You can pull up an unmade David Lynch screenplay. It would take you a very, very long time to read all the stuff this guy has for you at the click of a mouse. There are two other movie sites I find quite enjoyable. For basic movie information and great links, there is the Internet Movie Database (http:us.imdb.com). Be forewarned, however, the IMDB allows anyone to post information about movies, often leading to incredibly false information. "Screen It" (www.screcnit.com) is supposed to be a tool for parents to know if a movie is OK for their kids to see. It is also often downright hilarious as it counts (very specifically) the number of curse words, sex scenes, etc. in a movie. Entire plots of movies are often revealed through "Screen It" analysis. So don't read it if don't want to know. There's lots and lots of other cool movie sites on the webs, giving Hollywood the stinky-fits.

Why is it that every R&B per- former seemed to be unable to just play a song rather than pretending to be some grandiose comic character? Da Brat dressed up as a Roman Centurion? Come on. Tle only R&B performers with any dignity were the old school boys, Will Smith and LL Cool J, and why weren't they perform- ing? As for the awards themselves, they went, as usual, to those performers who least deserved them (such as Puff Daddy and No Doubt), with the exception of Beck, who won Best Direction and technical things hke that, but I still say he was robbed. Countless other video works of genius went completely unmentioned in the show, such as Guided By Voices' outstanding "Bulldog Skin Radiohead's "Paranoid Android and any videos by any member of the Wu Tang Clan. So, I humbly offer these awards to the real winners of Saturday night's contest. Best at singing longing lulla- bies about God while stili looking sexy: Jewel. Best at telling it like it is: Fiona Apple, who declared on live television that "this entertainmentl world is bullshit Best cowboy hat with antlers: John Popper. Best hip-hop mythology: Wu Tang Clan. Best Comeback: Will Smith. Best: Beck. The evening's overall losers were Jennv McCarthy, Mariah Carey and Puff Daddy. The Top Position for Loser is a tie between Marilyn Manson, who is a dumbass and could stand to think of a more clever rebel- lion, and MTV who has forgotten what the "M" means. The Video Music Awards will probably be rerun to death for the next month at least once a day That's 30 more chances for you to avoid it at all costs, unless you're like me and you need an excuse to be GenerationX-ish and complain.

Haves ran for 23 vards and the EC! first down. In the process, he fumbled'the bali. but fortunately the ball bounced right back up into his hands and he continued on to the VVVU 40-vard line. Hayes noted that this wasn't a planned plav. he just took the initiative to get the first down. He also talked about the near disaster of losing the ball.

At first glance .ogan thought the ankle was possi- bly broken, but trainers assessed it was just badlv sprained. He didn't return for the second half. ECU took a 10-3 lead after Baves nailed a 46-vard field goal with seven seconds left. At the half, ECU had only completed 33 yards on the ground, and Head Coach Steve Logan attributed the low yardage to an ECU offensive line that couldn't effectively block on the run. "Pass protection is decent but we can't run block Logan said. Gonzalez thought for the first game the offensive line held rheir ground as best they could. " I here were a couple of missed assignments and sure it was a combination of missing assignments and missing of couple of blocks, but our offensive line showed up todav and played well Gonzalez said. West Virginia's first possession in the second half proved profitable for the Mountaineers as Amos Zereoue ran in a seven yard touchdown for the 10-10 tie. Zereoue finished with 199 yards on the day. Logan knew going into the match up that Zereoue would be the player to watch, and saw a lot of improvement from last year's 111 yard performance against ECU to this year's performance.

ECU's Cross Country Program got out of the blocks well over the week- end as both women's and men's teams placed highly in their first n.xtsof the season. The Lady Pirates, under the direction of Couch "Choo" Justice, placed second at the VCU Invitational held in Richmond, Va This meet varied slightly from the original cross-country format. The women were placed in teams of two and their times were added together for a total score. "It (the meet) was more of a high- powered practice ? that allowed us to get our feet wet Justice said. Several Lady Pirates finished within seconds of one another. 'We have good depth which will lead to good cross-country scores later on Justice said. The duo of senior Karen Reinhard and sophomore Robin Bates finished third overall, highest of any of the Pirate runners. "Everyone really ran well Reinhard aid. Hates attributes her success to her teammates. "We all push each other pretty hard at practice Bates said. The men were also in action as they plac first in the at the I C- WilmiiiL .n "Scahawk" Invitational on liidav. Sophomore Justin England was the top Pirate finisher. He placed fourth overall.

A sting of injuries from the Mountaineers has left the Pirates banged up. Kendrick Phillips, Rod Coleman, Norris McClcary and Scott Harley all suf- fered ankle injuries on the astroturf of Mountaineer Held. Ixgan didn't know if Harley would be back for this weekend's game, but said on a positive note that his injury isn't as bad as initially thought. "It's not as severe as we thought Logan said. "I really thought it was broken. Everybody responds differently to those things. Some kids will roll an ankle and come back. 1 think Scott will be a quick healer, but we'll just have to see Logan is grateful that the injuries are not to the knees, which usually take longer to heal and many are season ending. "I'm thankful they're not knees Logan said. "That's the way I look at it. As long as it's not a knee injury or a shoulder displacement, you can kind of get a kid back Many fans may not see Wake Forest as a tough match up but Logan says beware because they are a good football team. "Wake Forest is a good football team that's going to be hard for a lot of people to digest given their recent history Logan said.

This is the first of two ACC schools ECU will play this season, and while many fans feel this is an important match up because they are ACC, Logan sees it as just another team. "To me, I've been here nine years and we've had Big East, we've had SEC. you name it. we've had it in here Logan said. "But I do understand the meaning of it Since this is the first home game, Logan hopes to see the stands packed with cheering fans.

Georgetown won the tournament with a score of 602, while Penn State finished second (606). "I'm disappointed said head coach Kevin Williams.

He shot a four- over par 76 on Sunday, and was just one stroke away from first place finisher Matt Finger of Georgetown.

Women's soccer drops game Virginia Tech sophomore forward Shannon Otto (Midlothian. Va.) scored a pair of goals as the Hokies defeated the ECU Pirates, 4-1, here Sunday at the Tech Soccer Field. With the win. Virginia Tech evened its mark at 2-2; while the Pirates dropped to 1-3 on the season. Junior midfielder Katie Irish (Clifton, Va.) opened the game's scoring for the Hokies at the 18:01 mark when she knocked one in off the crossbar from 14 yards out. Otto would get on, the scoreboard at 32:31 in the first half when she played a pass from senior defender Monica Maxwell (Germantown, Md.) and fired a shot into the back of the net past ECU keeper Amy Horton (Raleigh). At the 39:24 mark. Otto would add her second goal from 17 vards out for a 3-0 Hokie advantage at the half. For the first 45 minutes, Virginia Tech registered nine shots on goal: while the Pirates had three. Both goalkeepers, Dani DeSerio (Springfield, Va.) of Tech, and ECU's Horton tal- lied one save in the first half. Just three minutes into the second half, Virginia Tech widened its lead to 4-0 when Irish offered up a pass to senior forward Heidi Skinner (Alexandria, Va.) who scored from 15 vards out. Sophomore forward Jennifer Reiley (Alexandria, Va.) would record the Pirates' goal when she blasted one in from 18 vards. ECU midfielder Courtney Jurcich (Springfield, Va.) and freshman forward Kim Sandhoff (Waipahu, .Hawaii) combined to assist on the play. The score was Reiley's third goal of the season, having regis- tered her first two goals in ECU's 5-0 shutout victory over Barton College last Wednesday. ECU finished with 12 shots on goal; Virginia Tech tal- lied 17. Cara Morgridge (Burke, Va.) anchored the back line for the Pirates in the second half, recording two saves. DeSerio notched a total of six saves in goal for the Hokies. "I thought we started the match well today said ECU head coach Neil Roberts. "We were playing solid defen- sively, but when Virginia Tech scored its first goal, it hurt our attack. We were unable to sustain an attacking style and get back into the game after that goal. In the second half our plav was much improved, and we hope we can build on the last 20 minutes we played today as we prepare for our CAA opener The Pirates will return to action on Wednesday, Sept. 10, when they make their final stop on their three-game road swing through Virginia at CAA-foc William & Mary. The match will be the conference opener for ECl : William and Mary is 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the CAA, win- ning its conference opener 7-1 over Old Dominion last Wednesday. First touch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m Men's Soccer Freshman forward Paul Leese (Chesire, England) regis- tered three goals and the Buccaneers of Charleston Southern would go on to defeat the Pirates, 4-0, Saturday at the CSU Soccer Complex. With the loss, ECU's record now stands at 1-2. 1 eese scored his firsr two gnnls off of penalrv kicks. His nrstcameat the 8:15 mark for a 1-0 Buccaneer advantage. In the 39th minute. Pirate forward Iinnv Vitale (Raleigh) narrowlv missed a score which would have tied the contest when he hit the post with a shot attempt. The 1-0 margin would stand until the half. At the 52:00 mark. ECl' sophomore midfielder Robert Hvatt (Jacksonville) was recorded for a hard tackle; there- by, forcing the Pirates to play a man down for the remain- der of the match. At the 56:33 mark, Leese added his second penalty- kick score when when he blasted one into the right side of the net past ECU keeper Jay Davis (Wilson). The freshman leese tallied his third goal at 63:04 when he knocked one in off an ECU defender for a 3-0 lead. At 67:28 Charleston Southern senior Sheron Simmons (Charlesron. S.C.) recorded rhe .crime's final score off an assist from Wbjciech Cwik (Ontario, Canada).

ECU will return to action on Thursday when it travels to Blacksburg, Va. to face the Hokies of Virginia Tech. First touch is set for 4:00 p.m. Football continued trom page 13 ECU battled back and took the lead with 2:51 left in the third when Jamie Wlson took a four yard pass from Gonzalez. The Pirates took the 17-10 lead and looked to be on their way to a possible victory. But the next play would prove to be the thorn in the Pirates side as Bayes punted one down field to Nate Terry, who then proceeded to tear down the field for the 100-yard kickoff return for the 17-17 tic. After that, the momentum was in favor of West Virginia. Logan said they had worked on special teams for a situation like that. "That kickoff return, that's just a shame Logan said. "I can't tell you how hard we've worked on special teams for that to happen but a kid made a play Smith, who finished with 126 yards, agrees. "We were high before that and the kick return just pushed it down a bit Smith said. "We thought the offense would come back and try to make a play but they didn't WVU would score one final time with 13:15 left in the game as Zereoue had a nine-yard run to put the Mountaineers up for good, 17-24, as they went on for their second straight win against ECU in Mountaineer Field. Gonzalez threw for 279 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions and felt the timing on the passing game was on cue. "For the first game, our timing on the passing game was pretty good Gonzalez said. "It's always tough to go out for your first game against an opponent like that Logan was impressed with the effort. "He was under tremendous stress and he continued to throw strikes Logan said. "He's a big time guy The Pirates will look for their first win this Saturday as they host Wake Forest in the home opener at 3:30 p.m. in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. MARK A. WARD ATTORNEY AT L AW ?
